      Why do you use Twitter?

      Twitter is like a cyber coffee shop where your friends hang out. You can pop in, join the conversation for as long as you like, eavesdrop on others if you wish, and then leave when you want

      You've promised us a post about your wild days...

      I know. But my parents in law read my blog now, so that will have to remain a state secret

      Would it bother you knew Marko had a preference for latina girls? Ie someone who looks nothing like you. I have this issue in my relationship and it bugs me.

      I have a preference for Pierce Brosnan and George Clooney and my husband doesn't seem to mind. He can have preference for whoever he wants. He can look at the menu, but he can't order.

      Did you know in your early twenties that you wanted to have children?

      No. I kind of thought I might one day, but I never had a huge burning desire to have kids

      how do i get a seven year old to stop being a cry baby

      No idea, and the thought that I have at least another two years of the crying is deeply depressing

      Hi there, My name is Kalay. I lost my twin boys at 21 weeks on the 22nd of June. They were conceived through the ICSI program. A friend of mine lent me your book and I started reading it today - it is really really nice to have a read that is "normal".

      I am so sorry :-( my thoughts are with you xx

      are there entries about your first year with the twins? I am pregnant with twins and really wondering how we will manage. the first year with our singleton was, unfortunately, hell since I need to sleep. I am trying to make better advance plans this time.

      there are posts. they aren't pretty. newborn twins are not so much fun. look in the archives section for January 2005

      Are you going to respond to the comments that were left about the pellet gun? I'm still eager to see how you decided to handle it after all the comments you got.

      I took the pellet gun away.

      Even though I'm a Saffer, I've always wondered how you pronounce your name. Do you do the Afrikaans (like 'ver' for far), or do you say it with an english accent (like rhymes with 'nerd')?

      You pronounce it GOR-JUS.
