    Do you think a parent should be consulted before someone allows your chlld to...

    My 9 yr old rides go carts and mini bikes all the time at home. If he went to a friend's house and did it, I wouldn't expect a call asking permission. He knows that he has to wear a helmet, and not act stupid on it. A 16 yr old? No way I'd expect a call. Heck, I got MARRIED at 19. I think a 16...

    CC not processing payments on time??

    This happened to me years ago, with one particular card. Every month, for several months, the payment was late, even though I'd mail it 3 weeks before the due date (this was before internet access). I sent the next payment registered, return receipt requested. They got it in 2 days. My...

    In your opinion...what does "No Overnight Parking" mean?

    I would have thought that it meant not to park the car and leave it there til morning. After all, if DS stays overnight with a friend, he doesn't come home at midnight, he stays there til morning. If I have to let something sit overnight (a recipe, some craft thing), it waits til morning. So...

    High School Reunions

    I've never been to one. I still see the people I actually liked in HS, and have no desire to see the rest.

    Make sure you are seated together for flight home

    It doesn't bother me to be split up. I hate flying, so I try to sleep anyway, and DS9 watches his DVD player, so he doesn't care who is sitting with him.

    when you go on a long road trip do you plan every hotel stop on your way there?

    We're taking a long road trip this summer (old route 66 from TX to CA) and we're winging it. I'm a planner, so it's stressing me out a little bit. I really, really want to stay in one of those teepee shaped motels, so have my fingers crossed that it will be available. I'm hoping I can at least...

    What's your favorite OLD movie?

    Gone with the Wind, for sure. A close second would be Gaslight.

    Drama over baby name.

    My cousin named her daughter Castarion a few years ago. My aunt sent an email when she was born, saying her name was Castration. Everybody in the family was up in arms, of course, until we got the spelling right. Still didn't like Castarion, but everyone ended up calling her Cassie, which is...

    Do you have fun money or an allowance?

    I don't think as fun money as money I have to spend. As a PP said, we have a budget. The fun money is for whatever we, as individuals, decide we want. One reason we started it is that we had a problem spending too much eating out. We have x amount budgeted, but were going over. Now, we still...

    Do you have fun money or an allowance?

    We don't have impulse or control issues either, but I think that, if you have met your responsibilities, everybody should be able to buy a candy bar, or a milkshake, once in awhile. I mean, really, DH works just like I do, who am I to say the poor man can't buy a stinkin candy bar? That's why we...

    At what age should a girl go to Gyno for 1st visit?

    My friends and I all went to planned parenthood. I wouldn't have talked to my mom about periods, or sex, or anything else like that then if you had paid me to!

    Looking for reviews on the Dyson DC25 Animal

    I got dyson ball about 3 weeks ago, and LOVE it! I have been amazed ( and disgusted) by how much dog hair was on my carpet. It's also a lot lighter than my old vacuum, a Hoover, and relatively quiet, for a vacuum. I highly recommend it. Mine is a refurbished one from Woot.

    homeschoolers - how successful were/are your kids?

    I DID NOT say that homeschooling had anything to do with how they turned out at all. I have no strong feelings about home schooling one way or the other. I think that if the parent actually teaches things, that it can be great. My aunt, the mom of three of these "kids", did not teach. She...
