Pregnant with my first baby (yay!) and I just wanted to get an idea of how much the average is cost wise of people setting up a nursery. Nothing fancy of course. We have a crib so far, that's the extent of our purchases to date. (Due in June so we have time) I don't want to rely on a baby shower to provide me with all I will need to care for our child upon delivery ('cause no one has that many friends lol). Just looking for ballpark figures from your own experiences. Thanks!

We went to petco and got him suited up with a cage and bedding and food, etc. We are only keeping it temporarily, but I want to make him as comfortable as possible while he stays with us. We let him out to play (with supervision) as often as we can. Is there anything special I need to know about his care?

This one is a little darker than my previous post, a lot more sensual. Here's the basic premise:

This is the journey of a independent woman, strong and very much her own person. She is bisexual and still heartbroken over a lost love (female) from years before and vows to never love again. Yet love finds her anyway, against her will and where she leasts expects it, during a one night stand with a stranger. Independent and crass, with a penchant for naughtiness and a dirty mouth, she is tough and a little scary on the outside, but vulnerable and scared on the inside. Her world turned upside down in the space of a night, this is the story of her fight against the inevitable.

I have always wanted to write and the bug has finally bitten. I have a few story ideas that have been whirling around my head lately. Let me know what you think of this one...

It's your basic reinvent your life scenario. A woman, good-hearted, but struggling with unhappiness in a relationship, decides to cut all ties and live life for herself for once. Rising out of a sea of insecurities, she becomes stronger as a person and empowers herself to find what she really seeks. Which funny enough, she has no idea what. So this is the story of her journey into herself, her tasting life for the first time in so many ways. Many adventures, mistakes and discoveries await her. Will it include love? I have yet to decide. This is a woman who doesn't even know herself anymore and she's willing to lay it all down on the line to find out just what she is made of.

The option is checked off in my profile settings, so by all rights I should be getting the email notifications.

And should we start a petition? lol

I am starting a petition...lol

I am trying to trim up and was wondering what a good diet plan would be for me. Something simple that doesn't require a lot of fancy cooking, since I am not gifted that way lol. I've never dieted before, so please keep that in mind. Thank you!

My dad passed away well over a decade ago and I have no contact with his side of the family. What resources are available for me tracing his family tree?

What do you do when the absolute love of your life, couldn't be more perfect for you, makes you insanely happy, hates the idea of marriage and is indifferent to the idea of children? Yet it's something I want desperately, especially with him. I have no clue what to do about it. We've talked about it and he stands firm. I can't bring myself to leave him over this because we are so happy together, yet at the same time I'm mourning the loss of a family I'll never have. Advice?

This is genuine curiousity, I am not trying to prove any points, or trying to be hateful, so please don't be hateful in return. I just wonder how many of you ever questioned your religion.

How does one help these poor vomitous (is that a word?) people? I don't like people puking at me. lol

Me? Yesterday. Trying to be funny. Utter FAIL.

Tell me your sob stories and we can all commiserate together...

Poll: Chicken or Pork

It happens to me all the time.

My man would like to know. I can't stand the stuff and so he asked me to ask you guys, or gals I should say.

I have a low threshold for amusement, so I giggle like it's going outta style.

And no, you can't say both.

Me, I am more dork than anything else. I swear I grew up thinking it was my middle name. However, I will settle for Geek Goddess. My honey thinks it suits me better the nerd.

Apparently not to many people are familiar with the word undercarriage...

I had to once and it was the best thing I could have done for myself.
