Nah, just a word person.

Matilda, Babe, and Homeward Bound. Shari

Google unilateral anhidrosis. You'll find lots of information. Shari

I had problems with depression as far back as early childhood, which leads me to believe that, for me at least, it is a chemical imbalance. I didn't seek help until my own son began experiencing the same symptoms. I knew what he'd be going through and I couldn't bear the thought. That gave me...

I live in a small town in Kansas where people feel safe enough to walk and run late at night and early in the morning. Friendly, right? Nope. Most people won't return a smile or wave unless they know you. I don't get it. Shari

I have to add that the person who started this thread did so brilliantly. What better way to lure lurkers out than by telling them (us) how interesting we are? Aw shucks, guys. Thanks for noticing. :o Shari

I'm usually really busy during the school year and just don't have time to post much, but I read almost every day and enjoy the forum. When something comes along that I feel I just have to respond to, I do, and if I feel a little less pressed for time, I"ll often respond to something that...

OMG! Just type in Playmobil in the search box! A few of the standouts are the Playmobil Butcher Shop set, the Safecrackers set, the Playmobil Barbarian, the Palace Bathroom playset, the Alligator Hunter set, the Police Checkpoint, the PlayMobil Dockworker with Hand Cart, and to cap it all...

I'm an old-timer turned mostly lurker, but I've been lurking so long, I doubt anyone remembers me. :D Shari

Good luck. I've had a lot of problems with hormonal hair loss as well. It's disheartening, to say the least. I hope this helps. Shari

You must have taken that old Firm mantra to heart: "Consistency is the key to results." So it's obviously Anna Benson's fault. And if it makes you feel any better, when I finally passed my motorcycle test, they told they'd only pass me if I promised not to ride it on the street until I...

You might try the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. It comes across as historical romance, and I'm not a fan either, but it's actually very good -- quite addictive to be honest. Shari

Personally, I am dying for the new Sookie Stackhouse novel to come out - love those vampire stories....you should try those as well, if you haven't already! Christopher Moore has a hysterical (well, if you find shaved cats hysterically funny) vampire story called You Suck. You might want to...

Although I asked to try Armour when Levothyroxine wasn't working, I have to agree with Laura. I don't think I'd go with it as a first line of treatment. The way I understand it, because it is made from animals, the dosage can be inexact from batch to batch. With thyroid problems, it's very...

I know! My 6'6" football-player son screams like a girl (but not a Cathlete, of course) any time he hears something buzz. Oh, and I have a minnow net and an index card. :D Shari

When I started putting Hershey's syrup on it, I knew it was time to lose the recipe. :D Shari

I'm confused about your Armour dosage. I used to take Armour thyroid, but my dosage was in grains (2 grains), not in mg. I remember this particularly because the doctor had a little difficulty converting the Synthroid to Armour dosage in her head. It's been a year or more since I stopped...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who does this. I'm a schoolteacher, and my policy there is "catch and release" too. Shari

Here's a "rule of thumb" for whoever/whomever that's really easy to remember, and it works often enough that 99.99% of the people you talk to won't catch you when it doesn't. If you can replace the word with he, then use who. If you can replace the word with him, then use whom. As in the...

I have four dogs, and I'd have more, but I'm afraid I'd have to get a new husband. No problem whatsoever. We have a fenced area where they can play together. They get along . . . well enough. There's the occasional squabble, but it's no big deal. Nobody draws blood or anything. They're...
