What products do you use on your child, like what bran of nappies, wipes ect do you use?
Huggies wipes, and diapers, also LUV diapers. I always wanted to cloth diaper...but I hate doing laundry and my child would end up in disposables at the end of every week anyway.

It's my sons birthday in June, he'll be one and I'm stumped on what to get him as his main pressie. Any suggestions?
I only bought my son two presents for his 1st birthday: a riding toy and a sock monkey. I knew he'd be getting spoiled by our family and friends. He received countless toys, clothes, and books.

Do you think alcohol advertisement on television should be banned? Why/why not?
I wish people were smart enough to not be manipulated by television...because I don't think any advertisement should be banned. I like that alcohol advertisements have warnings/suggestions at the end.

We often say "you cant select who you fall in love with". With this being said, does it mean it's okay for paedophiles to love children, for people to be IN LOVE with animals ect? Why/why not?
Hell no. Just because their are things we can't seem to help or stop do not make them okay. If I fell in love with a man who beats me daily, it wouldn't be okay. People that love children or animals need therapy and medication, lots of it.

Are there any 'facts' you've been told, wither it's at school or just through family, that you disbelieve? Why do you not believe them?
I disbelieve the facts surrounding my fathers murder. I have heard too many stories and none of them match.

I don't really get to make them for myself. The decisions I want to make involve starting a career. Unfortunately, the army moves us around too often. The army decides where I live and for how long....employers don't like that

Have their been any murders in your area? How did your neighbour hood react? Was the killer caught? What happened?
Every other day, I live in the anus of Georgia/Alabama. The nearest city is the second largest in Georgia, and it's seemingly full of Georgia's dregs. I hate it here. Someone is always being kidnapped, shot, raped, assaulted, or robbed. I don't go anywhere alone. I've never felt so unsafe in my life. I would have never thought this place could be like this?! I'm sure there are many worse places out there, but jeez. Just a few weeks ago a 19 year old punched his girlfriends 23 month old daughter so hard in the head that she died. The girl is supporting him, and not caring about her dead daughter....that's what happens here?!!!

What was your favourite thing about school when you were a child? Was primary school a good experience for you?
I don't remember much of my childhood. It wasn't horrible or anything, I just don't remember all that much. I do remember that I loved to go camping every summer. I didn't have any issues with grade school, and I really loved the Halloween party they threw every year in the school.

In what ways have you changed from who you were 5 years ago?
5 years ago.
April 2009.
I was getting ready to go to Korea and see my then husband and best friend. I was overweight and depressed. I wasn't doing much of anything to prevent either. I was in school.
April 2014
I'm living in Alabama, again (for now)with a new husband. I've lost weight, and then gained it back with my pregnancy. I have a 17 month old son! I work out every day. I'm not depressed. I'm a college graduate, and a kick ass mom.
Life is what you make of it, and mine is always getting better.

What's your opinion on pornography? How does it effect people as they grow up? Can you remember the age you were when you first came across pornography, was it by accident or did you look for it?
Studies claim that pornography has negative affects on the consumers. I'm not sure I really believe that. I'm sure in excess it's not good for anyone. The articles I've come across (in men's health and psychology today, both aimed toward male viewing) suggest that males who watch porn regularly have a tendency to devalue their real life partners. I guess that could be true. So much of what we watch manipulates us, why not porn? It was also suggested that too much porn can lead to greater arousal needs, and a less satisfying sex life. I do believe those to be true.

Do you play random games on facebook just to pass time? If so which ones? If not, do you get annoyed when people send you game requests?
No I don't, I don't pissy either. Is it really that hard to just ignore it? Once I got silly with it. I was getting candy crush invites from the same three people every five minutes, and I personally called them out...to which they responded by sending more invites! It was annoyingly funny, but I wasn't actually mad about something so petty.

Do you think everyone in the world is capable of some sort of criminal act? Why/why not?
Yes. The term criminal act covers such a broad scope of things. I'd like to think I'm a good person, or at least I try to be. I've done numerous things considered illegal. I drank under age, I used drugs, I even stole things before...
Those behaviors do not define me. They certainly aren't daily occurrences. Though I wouldn't say I would never commit another criminal act...some things shouldn't even be criminal.
Either way, people are capable of all sorts of behaviors...
Everyone is capable of everything, given the perfect circumstance even the gentlest of souls would commit atrocities.

Do violent games contribute to violent youths?
Yes. Every bit of information I've been provided on this matter conclude that violent games, as well as violent movies or shows contribute to violent tendencies. There is also research that suggests that even violent play or violent stress relief can contribute to violent behavior. People like to suggest that aggressive outlets let off steam, but research shows that aggressive outlets only increase aggression.
Screen time in younger children is linked to aggression regardless of the content.
With that said, I do not believe that every child subjected to violent games or movies will become violent. However, the science is pretty sound.
