This is for future refencence. I do not want to use M and Z names because I already have to children with M and Z names and I would like for my children to have names that start with different letters.

My daughters names
Zoey and Melody

I would like for your choices to sound good with these names.

Right now the only baby boy names I like are Henry James and Jacob Anthony.

Hey everybody, my girlfriend is expecting a baby boy any day now, (pls pray for her to have a safe delivery ISA). Anyway, she is totally lost when it comes to naming him.

Can you please help her choose some baby boy names, old or new and if any are not common, please explain their meanings.

Pls i want a loooooooooot of choices so don’t just write one or two, think as much as you can.

Thanks everybody.

We had horrible red carpet in the spare room of the house that we just bought and decided to get rid of it. Now we are getting the room ready for baby #2 and don’t know what route is better. We have heard good and bad for both choices. The floors are in pretty good shape and would just need a little sanding and then some stain and poly.

Why is it so hard to lose weight now?

I am a 25 year old hispanic female, weigh 158 lbs 32% body fat and im considered to be overweight. And feel like i look it, for the most part i bear it well and can hide most of it pretty well. Ever since i can remember i have had this problem of my body naturally being comfortable at this weight. I feel healthy i workout five times a week for an hour at time, i do cardio,dance, strength, and yoga. But when i look in the mirror and i see the numbers i feel like i have to lose weight. When i was 18 i weighed this much and went on a strict diet where i measured food, counted calories like crazy and did the same cardio and lost 40 lbs. I was at a healthy weight still, but somehow i gained it all back plus some. Then i lost the extra some and have remained at this weight. I do not want to live my life counting calories all of the time and constantly weighing myself. I try to make the healthier choices on a daily basis and i try to eat as much organic as i can, but that is not enough. I want to look better in clothes and not have some jiggles when i walk. Especially as a young woman in this society its hard to be ok at the weight i am now even though i dont consider myself fat. Why is is so much harder now lose that extra fat layer? My lifestyle too i dont feel like i can workout more than i am, i go to school and work. Is it genes? Because i feel like im developing into my mother 20 years before she ever looked like i do, at 25 she was very thin. It was not until i was born when she was 35 that she could not lose the baby weight. Thanks in advance to any comments or suggestions.

No other parental right comes close. Parents can choose things like schools, clothes, food and in general dictate their children’s lives but NOT when they become adults. As adults they should be free to make their own choices and infant circumcision makes them circumcised as adults, which takes away their adult right to own their own bodies. Why would a parent, other than crackpot religious reasons, feel they should have a right to choose over their children?
I was not circumcised btw :)

some people on some forums say that she should be wonder women but personally her head is tooo big. kate beckinsale, brooke shields, evangiline lilly, jennifer connelly and the csi:ny girl- macks girlfriend, coroner chick. i think they are good choices.

This is basically a theoretical, planning-ahead sort of question. I don’t have a spouse, a house and can’t get another dog at the moment.

But many people on here and elsewhere say that having a dog when you have an infant isn’t a good idea. I agree, but I also see so many stories about babies growing up with wonderful, protective dogs.

If I ever have a kid, I definitely want a dog that is so devoted and so protective of him. The kind you read stories about… shielding the kid from the fall-off of the balcony, protecting the baby from rattlesnakes, that babies learn to walk holding on to…

So… if you wanted a dog like this and didn’t have a kid yet, what would be your strategy?

I realize having a baby and puppy at the same time isn’t a good idea. But if you get a dog a year or two before the baby… What breeds would you think are the best choices for infants? What kind of training would you do before the baby came (like, before the baby was even created)?
If you’re giving suggestions for breeds, I prefer rarer breeds. Just a personal preference, but I’d be more interested in breeds that aren’t in the top 10 or even top 20 or 30 maybe.

A few breeds I’ve thought might be a good fit include Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs and American Foxhounds. But I haven’t done extensive research. These are just two breeds I’ve come across in my reading that seem like good fits.
