I'm kind of scared to see it. I loved the original, but the Johnny Depp / Tim Burton combination gives me the creeps in the same way the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz did. I don't know why. Just a gut feeling, I guess. Given all that, I'll probably see it, just to see the special...

My father-in-law has struggled with this for a long time. He was recently diagnosed as hyperthyroid (too much thyroid hormone) and given medication. We're waiting to see if it will help. You really might want to have this checked with a simple blood test, as some people who start out...

I'm with Jes. Dogs can sense even the mildest fear or even discomfort. You'd only have to see my little four-pound Ani around a stranger to realize that she only gets aggressive with people (or other animals) who are afraid of her (and there are more than you'd think). At four pounds, she'd...

Oh, man, me too! I ate too many sweets, which makes me feel really good at the time, but leaves me totally depressed afterward. Not depressed because I feel guilty. I don't. It was planned. I've been a good girl. I deserved a break. Just depressed from no longer being on that chemical...

What keeps me disciplined? Terror, I guess. Fear of becoming what I was before. Finally feeling that I'm actually living instead of just waiting to die helps a lot in keeping me on the right track. Many things have become a joy that used to be a struggle, a hassle. It's all about being...

Has he been drinking a lot? Shari

RE: And on the opposite end, whose biological clock is.... I think I understand exactly what you're saying, Cath. I believe I could easily have lived out my life without children, if I had been unable to conceive. I was afraid of giving up my freedom, I think. I would not have considered...

I've been married twice. The first time, when I was 19, for a year and a half. I was 19 and starry-eyed; need I say more? I married my second husband when I was 25. I was much more mature, and I looked around with a better idea of what I was looking for in a husband. Better yet, I...

I'm 44 and have one child, age 15. I fought my way back tooth and nail from a crushing bout of postpartum depression that lasted for nearly a year, and that at times I wasn't sure I could survive at all. Not to mention that we were, in our childbearing years, financially unable to responsibly...

Someone played that mouse joke on me many moons ago . . . back in the days of typewriters. He put one of those furry cat-toy mice inside my typewriter, and when I hit the letter K, that mouse came flying out of there like his tail was on fire. Yes, I screeched! And yes, I did get sweet...

I had a stalker for ten years, from age 18 - 28, and never found out who it was. I think it was probably the poor man who introduced my father-in-law (apparently thinking he was my father) to his "grandaughter," a little girl he said was MY daughter. I'm pretty sure I only gave birth to one...

>It sounds like my mom is your boss! Boy, do I feel sorry for >you! >Missy Oh, it can't be your mom, because she sounds exactly like mine. :) Shari

>I actually feel sorry for her. DON'T FLAME ME, PLEASE! >Missy I think that's a lovely attitude. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all tried to look at things that way? If we all tried to see the other person's point of view, tried to imagine actually being that person, before...

Good grief! I can't believe the costs of vets in . . . well, wherever you all are! I recently took my two dogs to the vet, had them both spayed, had a hernia corrected in one and had a wayward dew claw (sp?) removed. The other dog had a tooth pulled in addition to being spayed. The total...

How funny! I've had the same thoughts, but I have a fifteen-year-old son. I know just what you mean, though. I want so much to keep him safe from that scary, dangerous world out there. On the other hand, I want him to experience every joy life has to offer, knowing that each joy is...

>This is more of a FIT FARM than a FAT FARM. >Angie Yeah, what she said! Shari

Thanks for the help, all. I called the doctor today, and she took me off the new bp meds and put me back on the old. Not sure how effective this is going to be, as the old meds weren't controlling my bp very well. At least I won't be exhausted, gaining a pound a day (I hope), or gasping for...

Well, I just did do a quick little bit of Internet research on this, and most sources tend to agree that water intoxication affects mostly marathoners and babies. It seems that our kidneys can process as much as 15 liters of water a day. However, several articles I read also mentioned that too...

Nine days ago, my doctor changed my blood pressure medicine from a simple diuretic to a combination pill. In those nine days, I have gained 10.5 pounds. I'm sure there is an adjustment period, and I'm sure this is water weight, but that seems like a huge amount to me. I drink 2 and...
