Does anyone know anything about Grover from Sesame Street, like maybe a motto he said a lot or just something that if someone heard it they would think about Grover? i have to do a "commercial" for a class and my object was a stuffed Grover. Ive looked online and all i can find is kids games to play, that doesnt help me. if you know anything or maybe even a good website please help me out. Thanks in advance

i have a 3 year old daughter and a 7 month old daughter but i have just found out i am pregnant with my 3rd child. i love being a mother, and i love my children to pieces, but i dont know if i can do this! i have a very supportive partner, a nice home, and a big supportive family but im undecided.i am only 21 but being a mother is all i have wanted, i manage very well i have a job and stil have time for my family.i dont like the idea of a termination but im not sure that going ahead with the pregnancy is the right thing to do.i have always wanted at least 4 kids but trust me when you get on your way you soon change your mind.i will take any answers into consideration, but i will not let thiese sway my decision i just want a few points from other people perspective.thankyou.

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I have all day sickness. My nausea is so bad i cant hold down any food and the only drink I can hold down is sprite. My doctor said as long as i can hold down fluids i'm fine but i feel bad. My dr. also said that around 12 weeks it should start to subside some. At what point in your pregnancy did yours get better? Its hard to enjoy being pregnant when you feel so bad.

I have a friend whose daughter will look you in the eye and lie to you AFTER you catch her in the act!! (she was jumping on the bed this particular time) She will deny it to the end! She will not admit what she did even after you tell her that you saw her do it!

My daughter is 8 months. She has 2 teeth and eats stage 3 foods. She usually has turkey rice dinner or something but I read somewhere it's healthier to give her straight vegetables as opposed to that. Have you noticed the oily residue left on the bowl when feeding like chicken or turkey? It makes me wonder how healthy that is. I give her Cheerios, Fruit and Veggie Puffs and Wagon Wheels for snacks. I only give her 8oz of juice(4 oz water 4 oz juice). I stopped giving her fruit (because my mother kept her for awhile and would only feed her fruit and table food because she thought it was gross and she refused to eat jarred food which really pissed me off) except for once a day. I just want her to be used to veggies and I don't want her to prefer junk. I do let her try certain table foods just to get a little flavor. I don't want an obese child. I don't like a lot of sweets. I think if I can get her to eat them I should feed them to her. She eats ALL veggies. Any suggestions?

want other people to give them advice on what to do because their dumb@sses didnt use some type of contraceptive and because of that they have an unwanted pregnancy. I think people should just shut up and step up to their soon to be responsiblity. If your stupid enough not to use some kind of contraceptive then its your fault if you end up with an unwanted pregnancy. Deal with it. Its real sad how people can can just sleep around and not seem to give a damn if they become pregnant or not! Its real and its life. I dont think people truly understand what it means when you have a baby out of wedlock. Babies need lots of money and lots of attention. It just really pisses me off sometimes to see questions like that.

"but I don't think it should be used as a substitute for birth control"? Which is it? Are abortions bad and a risk to the physical and psychological health of the woman OR are they good and should be given out like free quesadilla samples at Sam's Club?

I have already taken a pregnancy test and it came out negative-(it was a clear blue)- but i've heard they dont work that well. I can't say that i have many symptoms just a late period. When i spoke to about this previously, he said stress with cause your period to be delayed-and try to relax.
Now i have tried to forget about it, hoping to see "red" this month but so far no luck. Its about 2 weeks late.
The only reason i worry is because when we had sex, we did use a condom, but then he removed it (he hadnt finished). He only "thrusted" a couple of times, when i told him to stop because i knew the risks.
I have been feeling naucious (sp) but i havent actually thrown up. I am nervous and i have a doc appointment tomorrow, but it's bothering me to not know. Any ideas, thoughts, or opinions? Please don't be rude, ive had enough of that.

My son is 13 and on the Autistic scale. He goes to a mainstream school.
He is bullied daily by a group of lads in his class. We have been to the school several times and demanded that they sort this out.
I see one of the main perpitrators parents when I pick up my son from school.
I want to tell them to get their son to leave mine alone...but I fear I may lose my temper....has anyone done this?
What happened, or would you confront a bully's parent?

She doesn't share and if you take something from her she has a big temper tantrum. We were just eating so cookies and there were 2, so i ate one and she went off. I usually put her in time out in her room when she acts out like that but then when i let her out she wants me to hold her. If i hold her am i etting her know that her acting out is okay. How should i handle the selfishness. She turns 2 next month

I was planning on stopping work a week before my due date, but I am starting to think maybe I should stop two weeks before. When have you stopped working during pregnancy, and how'd that work for you? A little background I am working full time, and going to school, and recently started teaching piano lessons. I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed. The baby's room is not ready. My feet have started swelling like balloons, and I am exhausted. That is why I am thinking of quitting a week earlier. I am not going back to work, so another week would be another weeks income so that's why I am considering sticking it through. As you can see I am just not sure what to do.

Like, my cousin just named her newborn daughter Ashleigh, instead of Ashley. I know parents want their child's name to be unique, but won't kids also have a harder time understanding why their name is spelled a certain way in kindergarten??

My daughter is 8 months. Her hair is really fine and curly. ISo you get a good picture lots of people think she's Black and Hispanic. t's about 5 or 6 inches long. I usually put it in 2 or 3 ponytails but apparently I have been pulling them too tight and it's falling out around the front. I use hair dress like I should and wash every 4 days because it gets dirty quickly. When she wears it down it gets really tangled and I hate to comb it out because her scalp is so tender. Today I just let her wear it curly with a head band to keep it from being pulled but I don't want it to get tangled. NOT NAPPY TANGLED. What should I do to let it breath? I don't like heavy grease and things in our hair because it doesn't require that type of thing. I usually wet it but its too cold. Any suggestions from people that have experience with this type of hair? Reminder it's not "regular Black people hair". She won't ever need a perm. Are there any kinds of special bands I could use and where can I buy it?

How does it work? Does it really make you go into labor? Can your doctor tell if you have taken any?
