nichjake I don't think they're a bad example. They don't really look like the real thing at all. I had them when I was a kid and I loved them....theres just something about sticks of pure sugar that tastes so good....

nichjake Ditch the boyfriend. If he's that homophobic I would want him anywhere near my future kids if I were her. True friends will be there for her forever, chances are her boyfriend will not because those kind of friends come and go, she should make it sooner rather...

LadyCroft @LadyCroft (701) • Australia 13 Nov 06

What isyour opinion is the best family Dog to own. I have a 4 year old who wants a puppy and although my all time fav dogs are Sheppards, I do believe our best bet would be a Lab or a Golden Retriever. What do you think?

nichjake Really I'm not sure but I absolutely love it. I had to read it in high school as did all of my friends and out of all of us I'm the only one that likes it. I like the style and the emotion that you feel for each of the characters.

nichjake Just because they are ex-in laws doesn't mean she can't still be friends with them. My dad calls my maternal grandma mom and he and my mom have been divorced nearly 15 years. I don't think theres anything wrong with it.
