sept1baby`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll I was told a story for my sitter that a person she knows sucked her thumb all the time when she was a baby and was growing up that now she has a stump for a thumb because the lack of oxygen fro sucking on it caused it to not grow. Is this true?

my cousin has a flat thumb in comparison to her other thumb, but it is a WHOLE thumb not a stump...

False. I can`t even imagine how someone could suck their thumb that hard for so long that the blood vessels constrict to the point that the thumb tissue becomes necrotic. That would be too painful. I`d say the worst side effect would be pruny skin and social embarrassment.

I would say false. I sucked my thumb till I was around 8 or so and my thumb is normal looking.

My little sisters is not to bad but it is shorter and more wide than her other thumb. She is only 10 as of now. She really doesnt like to suck on her thumb and has been wanting to stop but it ends up in her mouth while she sleeps. It also sometimes gets chapped just like your lips.

WTF? I left a comment and it isn`t here. I personally know someone who sucked his thumb until he was 16 and his thumb is just fine.

  3. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.

  5. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?

  8. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  9. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
