Yes, Phyllis, I know exactly what you are saying and completely agree! Heidi

Thanks for the replies, ladies. Suzanne,lol on the "there there pat you on the back" machine - that's exactly how I feel! And, Nan, I think you hit the nail on the head about the reaction that he does have. One time he did tell me that how he reacts to situations is altogether different than...

First of all, let me just say that for 17 years, I have been happily married. Each year, DH and I get closer - he knows me better than anyone and keeps me laughing. I just need to vent...just a tad. Is it just me or are men just oblivious sometimes? I have been having some health issues...

I don't know, Nan, that sounds like a lot of tea - how much of all of that is actually valerian containing tea? I did a quick search on the internet and it does look like a possibility - did you tell them this at the hospital or was it an after thought after you'd gotten home? Really curious...

Methimazole is tapazole so that's all good :) Unfortunately not a lot you can do to prevent renal issues - some think higher protein diets are an issue and some even recommend lower protein diets once renal disease is diagnosed, but a lot of specialists' opinions differ on this. Just get...

I am so sorry - that stuff is scary. It's not fair when you take care of yourself - exercise and watch what you eat, d/c diet coke, and shit still happens to you, doesn't it? The good news is that it sounds like they did a pretty thorough liver workup and have ruled out a lot of bad things. I...

Hyperthryoidism is one of the major "older" cat diseases -along with renal disease, diabetes, and cancer. Main symptoms one will see is vomiting,diarrhea, weight loss despite an excellent appetite, increase thirst/urination, and sometimes a poor unkept greasy haircoat. Diagnosis is easy and...

I second the oatmeal and hot cocoa - makes them both so much richer. Yum! Heidi

Keeping it in your purse is an excellent idea! I've done great. Received a text yesterday and went to reach for it and then reminded myself NO! I really wish more people would adhere to it. I know Oprah is controversial but I am glad she is spearheading this particular platform - she brings it...

Sounds like fun - good luck, Annie! I think those large races are on a whole different level - crazy, chaotic, but fun! The very first 5k I ever ran was the Race for the Cure in DC with over 30,000 runners. My SIL is a big runner and pulled me way to the front (where I really didn't need to...

Wow, I'm truly impressed! You must be totally pumped. So, what's involved with the Iron Girl Triathlon? Vegas sounds like a cool place to do one! Heidi

I must be dense with Carola - what gives? Not sure why it matters... Heidi

Well, I signed up on Oprah.com for the no phone zone while driving. I admit I do it, I admit it's unsafe as hell, and I need to be a better role model for my teenager who will be driving in a couple years. If you didn't see the show, you can watch a video clip on oprah.com of families who...

I feel your pain - truly I do! When my low back isn't plaguing me (as it is currently and it sucks!), I do have sporadic ITB issues - especially if I try to do too much too fast. I did find that the stretches and mostly the foam roller were essential to keeping it under control. One thing I...

I agree with Carola - you need some serious, professional intervention ASAP. I understand your love of this dog and admire your tenacity and devotion, BUT an unpredictable dog that bites is not an appropriate pet - especially when children are involved. It's a disastrous situation, one frought...

Well congratulations to you...and you!;) I think one of the things that I've also found in my 40's is truly enjoying yourself and who you are and the person you have become. It's a revelation - one you can't have in your 20's and even your 30's. My kids are about the same age, and while I...

Hello from another diet coke divorcee :) I quit 2 years ago and am so glad I did. It was hard for the first few months mostly. I mostly craved it late morning at work. But, I held strong, and haven't had any since. I'm proud of myself for doing that - I gave up all artificial sweeteners...

Really nice stuff. I own several necklaces and earrings and love them all - always get compliments. You can get some good deals at the parties. This is one of the only "parties" that I usually attend. In general, I hate home parties, but this one I make an exception for:) Now go buy...

Did you ever notice that you can interact with 50 wonderful people during the day but it's the one a**hole in the group that ruins the whole day for you? Heidi

I like Crystal too (the Janis Joplin type). I work with a girl that went to high school with her. Apparently she's had a rough childhood. My coworker said her stepdad used to abuse her and broke her arm once:( I kind of like Ellen - she does inject some much needed humor at times and...
