I think so many people really don't understand Don Mills, what it was intended to be. I find your column is more about your experiences (which is fine), really nothing about the experience in Don Mills. Makes me wonder other than using the area name in a catchy Blog title why you bother dragging DM into the subject?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-40799408475074527732008-05-14T17:23:00.000-04:002008-05-14T17:23:00.000-04:00You are a wonderful, and you will be able to keep ...You are a wonderful, and you will be able to keep the monsters at bay.

Poor little guy, it sucks being sick, and bad dreams on top of it. <BR/><BR/>In our house, I leave a nightlight on, and have convinced pumpkinpie (who sleeps with at least five stuffed doggies) that monsters are scraed of dogs. I've also heard of people filling a msall mister with water, telling their child it's monster repellant, and putting it on a nighttable for use as needed. Soemtimes, these little tricks help.kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-54920575540088461852008-05-08T09:18:00.000-04:002008-05-08T09:18:00.000-04:00Too bad that bottle of monster spray doesn't work ...Too bad that bottle of monster spray doesn't work on the adult monsters :-( I hope your little dude is feeling better, and I hope you find a way to fend of your monsters soon. Now that I'm a mom, I often wonder how many nights my mom spent worrying about where the money for lunch tomorrow would come from. Or how she'd pay for the dentist. It's amazing how good mothers are at keeping their children from knowing all their worries and fears - or even knowing they have any worries and fears at all. Moms definitely are a special kind of person.<BR/><BR/>Thinkin' about you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-45913904896694786602008-05-08T09:15:00.000-04:002008-05-08T09:15:00.000-04:00Those kinds of monsters are really scary, aren't t...Those kinds of monsters are really scary, aren't they?
