mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 10 Feb 12

rmorefield Hmmmm... I agree with him to an extent. My father spoiled me, I'll admit. But he also taught me to be a strong woman and rely on myself. I don't want a man to spoil me. If I had someone give me anything I wanted, it would only make me feel guilty. I just want...

rmorefield I think that it depends on what each situation is. My oldest daughter is 15. I love her, but can't wait until she goes off to college. I hope that things will change with her in the next 3 years as she grows, and will hopefully mature. But if things stay the...

rmorefield Hi, ijkalka! I am right there with you. (I have 4 kids.) I admit that I was one of those kids that "knew everything". In my experience, and also with my friends, we learned that our moms actually knew what they were talking about (SHOCKING!! LOL) after we had...

rmorefield It sounds like insurance/financial reasons. Maybe they would agree to it if he had an insurance policy that would cover him if he were in another vehicle. Progressive (I think) has a policy like that. After my car died, I dropped the insurance on it but...

Should morbidly obese children be removed from their parents?

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 30 Aug 11

There's a lot of talk now in America about obese children. They say half of the children in America are obese because they eat too much of the wrong things and don't get enough exercise because they spend too much time in front of...

rmorefield I agree with you that there could be major emotional issues for a child if removed from the home. What this country needs to focus on is educating families as a whole. Many of the children come from families that are poor, and don't have access to quality...

rmorefield Yes, I believe in ghosts. Why? My house is haunted. Maybe I should say that our land is haunted because the house that I grew up in also had them in it. (It's on the same property) Over the years, I've learned to accept it. I still get a chill when I see...

rmorefield I think it depends on where you're at. Around here, we have to go to the vet for the Rabies shot, because they report it to the county. But I know that a place called Southern States (it serves the local farmers) sells the vaccinations for puppies and the...

rmorefield I have no problem with anyone showing their feelings. Sometimes, we just need to cry whether male or female. I think that it can actually have negative effects on a person's psyche if they bottle up their emotions. My boyfriend is a very manly man (LOL) and...
