There's a scene where months after a nuclear attack destroys life as we know it, the survivors find a secret stash of chocolate and coffee and other comfort-type foods and throw a huge celebration. Sometimes the luxuries are just as important (emotionally) as the necessities. Migraines and Magnesium21 Jun 2006 10:47 AM Thanks for sharing your experiences with magnesium, Elizabeth - it's one thing to read about a study and another thing to hear the good news directly from a migraine sufferer. I'm really glad to hear it works for you! My mother has suffered from migraines pretty much since I was born, and I've seen the misery she goes through when she has one. Do Dogs Watch Television?14 Jun 2006 06:29 AM That's a funny coincidence, Christina - when I watch television, I do the same thing your dog does. I call it "watching TV with my eyes closed". :) Nail Biting12 Jun 2006 11:59 AM I have the same problem, Andi, I chew mine to stubs without even thinking. For me, only willpower can get me to stop... but I always fall back into the habit. Watermelon Festivals (Coming To A City Near You)10 Jun 2006 06:53 AM Melon bowling is definitely fun - we do it with pumpkins around Halloween and it's a blast, especially once the bowling "ball" starts to fall apart! June 6, 06 - Just Another Day?06 Jun 2006 02:02 PM I agree, Jamie - finding the patterns in things is a way of getting control or at least finding understanding, or trying to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless thing. In the case of September 11th, I think people were desperate to find connections to make the whole thing make sense. For me, that day will forever be one of the most frightening (and uncontrolled) days of my life. Bye Bye Bathtubs!05 Jun 2006 08:26 AM NOOOOOO! No more bathtubs?? I don't have a bathtub at home, and I look forward to a nice hotel room soak when I'm away. Say it ain't so! Hotel Rooms-Smoking or Non-Smoking: The Choice Is No Longer Yours05 Jun 2006 08:24 AM I'm glad to hear that more hotels are going smoke-free... I had the opposite experience on a recent business trip. The hotel I was staying at assigned me a smoking room and was unable to fulfill my request for a non-smoking room! (There were some big conventions in town the same week I was, and they were booked, which I can understand.) They did run some sort of ozone machine to clean the air, which I much appreciated, being highly allergic to cigarette smoke! Reading List for Twelfth Grade05 Jun 2006 08:21 AM I might use this reading list for myself!! There are some great books on there that I have read, and some I haven't... thanks! Kids and Earaches05 Jun 2006 08:12 AM It sounds like your children, Andi and Heather, don't get the "average" childhood ear infections! I agree that in your cases, a doctor's visit is probably in order. It just goes to show that every case (and every child!) is different! I never got an ear infection as a child; my brother had them frequently. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 |
