lauriefnp Of course they are a family- and they look like a happy one, at that! Who decided that "family" had to be a man married to a woman with children???? All kids need is parents who love them, no matter what gender they are. For that matter, I think that a single...

lauriefnp Alcoholism is a horrible disease, and I know from dealing with patients and my younger brother who is affected that it is very, very difficult for an alcoholic to stop drinking for good. I have seen so much pain and suffering caused by alcohol abuse. The only...

Does anyone really think that only young people are gay???

cyntrow @cyntrow (8523) • United States 2 Feb 08

I just don't get it. I hear people say that to be gay is so accepted now that people want to be gay. As if it's some sort of fad. As if it's something the kids today strive for. I hear people say that gay men are gay because they...

lauriefnp Your discussion brings up a lot of good points which show just how ignorant people can be! It's true that society is a bit more accepting of homosexuality today than it was 10 years ago, and I expect that it will continue in that direction. However, there is...

lauriefnp There's nothing like ice-cold water when you're really thirsty. I find that if it's really hot out and I try to drink pop I will bloat up and it makes my stomach really full. Alcohol is not good on really hot days, and juice is too sweet. I usually put a few...

lauriefnp I seriously doubt if anyone could ever live on myLot money! Even if you posted here all day, every day, you would never make enough to live on. You would be lucky to even make enough to pay one major bill! It's a fun place to chat and the extra pocket money is...

lauriefnp I'm sorry that you have to go through this. You're right, you can't be too hard on your niece, because your brother most likely would have drank anyways- he would have found a way. I can't imagine how he got out on such a low bail the first time, and I am...

Kythe42 @Kythe42 (1412) • United States 25 Jun 07

lauriefnp This is true, the estrogen in the pills can make your gums fragile and bleed easily. You have to be sure to go to the dentist every 6 months and to floss daily in addition to brushing.

lauriefnp I heard from a friend of mine that they are a scam and are not paying out. I've also seen a few people here posting the same thing. I wouldn't waste any more time there until it's straightened out, if I were you.

lauriefnp Honesty is always the best thing. It may hurt him now, but it will hurt less than it would if he were to find out about it another way. It sounds as if you're not ready for a committed relationship right now, so maybe it's best if you tell him the truth now so...

Are long toenails in?

jenseyedea @jenseyedea (579) • United States 24 Jun 07

I have seen a lot of women wearing their toe nails long. I think this is sort of gross...but I just wondered if it is in now? I think you can still make your toes look pretty without having them 2 inches long. What do you think?...

lauriefnp I haven't seen this, but I agree it would be kind of gross. It would also be uncomfortable, I would think. Most of us have to wear normal shoes for work, and it would hurt if you crammed your feet with long toenails into dress shoes. If it is a "fad" I guess...
