I'm no expert, but the film 28 Days with Sandra Bullock - I like that philosophy.
Buy a plant. If it lasts a month or however long move onto a dog. Then if both are alive and well, you can... well the example was move on to dating, but you get my drift?
She's alive, yes, and :-S managing?? I guess?? Must say due to my lack of attendance on her for the last however long am not quite up-to-date... heard she had replaced drugs with drink, true or not, she's not totally out of the woods yet, and therefore in my eyes unable to bring a child up.
Whilst I couldn't care less with WHOM Winehouse has a baby, but the fact she's now trying for one. Working in a special needs school, I've seen too many instances of mommies with substance abuse issues having children. Whatever their reasons, their children always come out in the short end.
This is from AA, about the plants and the pets. IMHO, I think Winehouse is subscribing to handling her problems with no treatment. Cool post and great comparison, Merge.
