    Insomniacs, please help a desperate sista out!

    I use a homeopathic lozenge called Moon Drops, I get it at the health food store but it's also available many places online. It's a mint, what usually happens is I can't get to sleep, I finally decide to take a Moon Drop (since it's homeopathic it has about 1 billionth of a dose of the various...

    Friend who was nicer when I was fat...

    I was once told by a co-worker that I was getting "emaciated" when I "got down to" 155 lbs (I'm 5'7"). That was such an absurd comment that I just had to laugh. Sometimes in life I have been tempted to do the following (but have never quite had the guts to do it...): Friend: You're...

    Do men just not get it sometimes?

    My DH also is not good at being supportive when I say I don't feel well or if I am having scary tests - and otherwise he's a very loving supportive kind man. I turned the tables on him recently because he said he was feeling feverish and achy - normally I would have said "Oh sweetie I'm so...

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    Completely completely agree. In most cases, I don't think millionaires work harder than those making minimum wage. I have quite a few millionaire clients and they have cushy jobs in big financial firms or law firms and take long lunches and go on vacation a lot. I have seen young associates in...

    who likes the show "Nurse Jackie"

    Love it, love it, love it. Can't wait for Season 2. All the characters are great, complex in the way the characters in Six Feet Under were complex, you see the good qualities and the bad qualities and the way they are the deluding themselves and the way they are wonderful. LOVE it.

    TAXES!!! Ugh!!

    I am so on board with all this. We are having to pay $2400 to the feds this year due to a combination of circumstances, but mostly because I was laid off about a year ago and the only job I could find gave me a salary cut of 25% with no benefits - I adjusted my witholding so I would take home a...

    The Serial Bully

    That is fascinating; I have known some individuals like that and they are maddening. It was really interesting to read through the list. As I read through the list, I kept thinking of: Rush Limbaugh. (and other talk show hosts who pontificate in the same way.) He is an EXPERT at all of...

    will you weigh more right after doing wts?

    In a couple of exercise videos, the instructors have said things like "I like to do these shoulder exercises right before I go out in a tank top", as if the muscles actually get pumped up a little bit right after the workout. So if that's the case I think maybe the muscles could retain water...

    Movie theater etiquette

    Thank you everyone for your comments. This seems to be sorta the consensus. I think the things that bug me most about it is this: 1. My husband and I have sometimes arrived at movies and been very close to the start time, but not actually late. If the theater is crowded and there are...

    Movie theater etiquette

    Do you think it's rude to ask people to change seats at the movies, so your party can sit together? My husband and I saw Up in the Air today (pretty good, not great), we knew it would be crowded, we got there early and carefully chose our seats, sat through the previews. It got very crowded...

    Migraine headaches

    My husband suffered from migraines for many years; his doc put him on Inderal (a blood pressure medication, although at the time his blood pressure was normal) about 8 years ago - he has not had a migraine since he began the Inderal. It's been like a miracle cure for him.

    Do you tip your mail carrier for the holidays?

    I tip $25 to the letter carrier and $25 to the newspaper guy. When I had a regular hairstylist I tipped her at the holidays, ditto for the massage therapist I saw frequently when my money situation was more flush. If I had a family member who was in the hospital for an extended period I would...

    Merry CHRISTmas . . ! WARNING: some might be offended by this.

    What she said. And also what Nancy said. Here's my dirty little secret. I am not religious, I am agnostic, and I still celebrate Christmas, to me it's a commercial food-filled fun holiday that is all about the gifts and the food and the time off work. There, I said it. Lightning hasn't...

    desperate housewives watchers, where r...

    I'm wondering if GOD FORBID the actress that plays Lynette may want out of the show, or maybe her contract is being negotiated and they're trying to decide whether she's worth whatever she's asking for. Just idle speculation on my part. I LOVE Desparate Housewives this year - I think it's...

    VERY strange dating question

    Just a few stray thoughts... Observe him when you are in a restaurant or bar. Does his attention seem to be drawn to the great-looking guys or the great-looking girls? I don't advise anyone to snoop, but if you happened to notice an x-rated magazine collection in his house, that would be...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Even though it seems everyone on this thread is pretty much on the same page, and opposed to anti-gay sentiment, I cannot resist adding the following in response to the Bible passage quoted. (I am not offering this as a criticism or rebuttal of that post, it just reminded me of it.) This...

    Does anyone own a down pillow?

    I have had down pillows and they were very comfortable. Although I was not allergic to them the thought of sleeping on goose down just sort of bugged me, and I eventually bought some "down alternative" pillows (not at Brookstone, probably at Target) and they were almost as comfortable - not...

    If I didn't have a reason to quit diet soda before.....

    What she said. Almost always people who report things like this want a quick monetary settlement or want to ruin the company's reputation.
