Jeanmarie, I did not suggest that she not ask questions so there is nothing for you disagree with me about in that regard. I too was trying to help Jonezie feel better and to help her to put the orthodontist process into perspective. I now regret saying anything as false assumptions were...

No one said anything about blind trust Jeanmarie. She chose this particular orthodontist so obviously she has trust in him already otherwise why would she be a patient? I was saying to have faith in the trust she has already given this particular orthodontist that he/she knows what she is doing.

Yes. They will straighten out. The orthodontist has a plan for how he will move/straighten the teeth via the braces. You will realize this when you go in for adjustments and hear him discuss which type of wire strength, etc. to use to move the teeth. You just got your braces so the teeth look a...

I just got my braces off this past March. It won't be as bad as you think when they come off as long as you practice good and consistent hygiene while you have them on. Floss, brush, your proxy brush regularly and have regular teeth cleaning you shouldn't have any problems with dingy teeth when...

I'm happily divorced (12 years) and I will never marry again. Companionship is nice but not marriage-not ever! I get the pity comments and feeble attempts by others to set me up with a "nice man" sometimes and it is sickening. There are plenty of miserably married people just going through the...

It drink some everyday (sometimes twice a day) in my protein smoothies so it doesn't stay around long enough to spoil.

I love popcorn and I used to air pop it. Problem is I would eat the entire big bowl and that is a lot of carbs. I have not yet learned how to behave responsibly with snacks but I am working on it.

Thank you DirtDiva. It means so much that you understand how this feels. No one in my family does and it is unnerving. It is neverending terror. And like you, late at night is the danger zone for me too - when I want to eat junk. I do have one good friend who is supportive and I am grateful for...

OMG. I haven't had a Whopper in years. I can understand you wanting to abstain. They are heavy in calories and fat. Would a Jr. Whopper be an alternative?

Thank you for turning me on to this site. I love it!

Thank you everyone for your support and advice. I appreciate it.

I will feel just awful if I do this but I just want to drive down to the 7-11 and have a junk food binge. Buy bags of goodies and have at it.... I've been unemployed for more than a year and I'm having one of those "It's hopeless - what's the use" moments where it feels like I'm never going to...

In addition to pilates and yoga, I also have an inversion table. It helps by stretching and straigtening the spine and vertebrae. I use gravity boots with mine and I hang upside down. It really helps.

Lorajeanne, Pilates helps by strengthening your core and lower back. Having weak abdominals contributes to back problems. It also helps because you become more flexible as you do the exercises. I found at that when you have imbalances in your body (tight hips and hamstrings) also contribute...

You have a couple of options: Pilates and Yoga. Both work beautifully in relieving bulging discs. I have two herniated discs (L4 & L5) and I am as active as ever. I went to PT and it helped a little but when I started in with the yoga/pilates my condition improved greatly. Just be careful with...

The man had covered the cat in olive oil and red pepper and was planning to kill and eat him. When the police pulled the man's car over they found the poor cat locked in the trunk and meowing like crazy. The man said the cat was unruly and he planned to eat him. Obviously the man is deranged...

I read that story on the Huffington Post. The man had covered the cat in olive oil and crushed red pepper. When the police pulled him over the cat was locked in the trunk and meowing like crazy. The man said the cat was unruly and he was going to eat it. Obviously the man was deranged. That...

I love NPR too and I have lots of favorites: Fresh Air, Car talk, the garden guy (I forget his name), the barbershop guys and especially the news segments.

Hi Laura, I feel the same as you about the news outlets so now I only watch the BBC. They are the only truly professional news service around in my opinion. The BBC and my local evening news are all I watch now.
