Sarah, 4 kids, and dh is out of town, so I'm feeling lazy with dinner. I'll probably do a big salad and chicken fingers! (nt) - sis517blue 4 days ago

Beth and JC with 7 kids....dinner? I dunno what are you making for us? LOL (nt) - jakikoripiba 4 days ago

Jen, 7 kids, first day of school in our house so it's something easy - PIZZA!! (most likely from Sam's Club) (nt) - wildrose 4 days ago

Jamie, 6 kids, either chicken thighs or home made pizza. I'm kind of leaning more toward pizza, not really in the mood for chicken. (nt) - serialmommy 4 days ago

*~* Do you communicate more by Regular Mail, E-mail, or Texting? *~* (nt) - Admin 4 days ago

email....though I am texting more than I used to! (nt) - sis517blue 4 days ago

me too. (nt) - jakikoripiba 4 days ago

email or yahoo IM or facebook. (nt) - serialmommy 4 days ago

I never thought I would say this, but I prefer texting because of the instantaneous communication. Email is second, and I never snail mail. (nt) - ckmom 4 days ago

email and good old talking on the phone (nt) - 2Bmommy25 3 days ago

Here, too. (nt) - wantabunch 3 days ago

*~* Do you read mostly Books, Websites, or a Kindle? *~* (nt) - Admin 4 days ago

Books....I love the feel of a book in my hands! Hard to imagine curling up with a kindle....though both my parents have them. They love it for travel. They can go down south for a golf trip in the winter and not have to bring a ton of books with them. (nt) - sis517blue 4 days ago

Websites, but now that I am a soccer mom I'm looking at getting a Kindle. (nt) - jakikoripiba 4 days ago

books and blogs and websites for recipes, but mostly books, don't have a Kindle and I am not going to get one. (nt) - serialmommy 4 days ago

I've never seen a Kindle in real life. I read some books for school but mostly scanned pdfs online or websites for other research and pleasure. (nt) - ckmom 4 days ago

Websites for info, books for leisure (nt) - 2Bmommy25 3 days ago

Websites. (nt) - wantabunch 3 days ago

*~* Which do you use more? A "land-line" phone or a cell phone? *~* (nt) - Admin 4 days ago

hmmmm....I think they are tied. Maybe slightly more with my land-line. (nt) - sis517blue 4 days ago

I don't like using a phone in general, I prefer to use a landline but b/c we don't have long distance I have to use the cell phone. (nt) - jakikoripiba 4 days ago

Don't have a cell so it's land line all the way (nt) - serialmommy 4 days ago

Rarely use the landline. I really only keep it so I can fax from home. (nt) - ckmom 4 days ago

land line for sure (nt) - 2Bmommy25 3 days ago

Landline. Cell (pay as you go) is for emergencies & long distance. (nt) - wantabunch 3 days ago

*~* If you're looking for a book, do you go to a library, or just search on-line? *~* (nt) - Admin 4 days ago

Library......I read too much to buy a lot of books. I go through them like potato chips! (nt) - sis517blue 4 days ago

Library. It's free and just around the corner. I go to their website and put a hold on the book and they pull it for me, send it to the closest branch and send me an email when it's there. Very handy. (nt) - serialmommy 4 days ago

library, I don't enjoy reading at the computer (nt) - 2Bmommy25 3 days ago

I search online to see what I want, then reserve it online at the library, pick it up a few days later. I LOVE that! (nt) - wantabunch 3 days ago

*~* Do you have a map in your car, or a GPS? (or neither?) *~* (nt) - Admin 4 days ago

GPS....love it a lot more than I thought I would! But I still have a map in my car.....you never know when your GPS will stop working or get stolen! (Happened to my in-laws on a trip....had theirs stolen!) (nt) - sis517blue 4 days ago

Tom-Tom (nt) - jakikoripiba 4 days ago

maps, hands down. I'm a big believer in using the old tried and true method and I'm teaching the kids how to read them too. (nt) - serialmommy 4 days ago

I used to have an atlas, but the kids tore it up. Now, I just use google maps on my cell phone. (nt) - ckmom 4 days ago

we have a protable Garmin "Carmin the Garmin" as she's called in our house (nt) - 2Bmommy25 3 days ago

No map. We have a GPS that DH uses EVERY time he drives (Yes, even when he could get there blindfolded) but I never use. (nt) - wantabunch 3 days ago

6. feeling especially down these days... - six4me 4 days ago (5)

Dear Danielle, - duedrop 4 days ago

Danielle, hang in there, we had "one of those days" with my kids yesterday too-seems almost the same conversation. It's so frustrating. Hoping all is alright with Marisa. Hugs. (nt) - 2Bmommy25 3 days ago

10. *&*&*&*&* Take Me Back Tuesday - When did you get your first cell phone? *&*&*&*&* (nt) - Christine 3 days ago (4)

2-3 yrs ago, got a basic pay-as-you go phone for emergencies (school trying to get ahold of me while I'm shopping, etc). We spend about $5/month, if that. (nt) - wantabunch 3 days ago

14 years ago.....we found out I was pregnant with my oldest and we had just moved to Chicago. We didn't know many people, and dh wanted me to be able to call him no matter where I was if something went wrong. So we got me a very basic package. Looking back, the phone was huge! Bigger than my cordless land line phone I have now! LOL! (nt) - sis517blue 3 days ago

Augustish 2001. I had that phone forever. I didn't realize I could get an upgrade. I think I kept it for a little over four years before I got a new one. I'm only on my fourth phone in nine years. (nt) - ckmom 3 days ago

11. *+*+*+*+* When is the last time you wore a bikini? *+*+*+*+* (nt) - Christine 3 days ago (8)

12. False labour woes - muffin 3 days ago (3)

Oh I know that feeling of wanting that baby out but... - 2Bmommy25 3 days ago

Hugs! It's so much harder 3rd time around, it just doesn't go like you're expecting it to, and it makes it drag and be more frustrating than it is already. Hang in there, bub will be here soon. Plan some small things to take your mind off and give you some distractions. (nt) - duedrop 2 days ago

I got mine at 14 and I REALLY wanted them....I was willing to do anything to get them...including offer to pay for replacements if I lost the original (which I had to do about 6 months after I got them and accidently dropped one down the sink.) Also.... - sis517blue 17 hours ago
