My left eye stings like there's an irritation on it

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 28 Apr 13

My left eye began bothering me this week, and yesterday, it was severe enough for me to remove my contacts. I figured I'd give my eyes a rest for a day or so, but the left one was still red and irritated this morning. I've been...

AnnieOakley1 Could be pinkeye? I get it sometimes, and that is how it feels. Polysporin Antibiotic Eye/Ear Drops usually clears it up in a few days without wasting time waiting for a Dr.'s appt. And in your case..paying for a Dr.'s appt. Ours are free here in Canada, but...

Dreaming of a past lover

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 22 Apr 13

Woke up to a dream of reconnecting with a former lover for the second time in a week. Ed and I broke up in early October 2010. I moved away, thinking I had met someone to love, but I'm having doubts. A few nights ago, I dreamed...

AnnieOakley1 My take on this? You are dreaming of someone else you loved in your past, because you know this current relationship is over, and pointless, but your subconscious is wanting desperately for love and happiness. You are a very loveable person, you deserve...

I HATE my allergies!!!

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 22 Apr 13

It just seems to get worse and worse every year. I have bad hay fever, but since I don't have a news station that shares the pollen count anymore, I don't know what triggers it. I know fresh cut grass forces me back inside, but...

AnnieOakley1 Very simple, get rid of the dog and the carpets, down to the tile or hardwood, and they can be easily mopped. It will get rid of many dust and allergens as carpets hold them and it is almost impossible to remove urine from a dog smelling it in a carpet, so...

AnnieOakley1 Nope, you are not alone, I do it, too. My trick to remember what I went there for is that I have to go back to where I got the idea in the first place...then it pops back into my head and I am good!!

The Goverrnment Lies

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 18 Apr 13

The government doesn't tell us everything. The mainstread media doesn't report everything. Sometimes we are told part truths, or truths with a certain spin on them, downplayed, exaggerated, or out and out lies. I do a lot of...

AnnieOakley1 I agree with what you have said wholeheartedly! The mainstream news media are now bought and owned by the gov't that decides what is and what isn't the 'truth'. I find that Huffpost is very accurate, amongst a few others. Cannabis Prohibition is the most...

AnnieOakley1 My period cramps started when I was 11 yrs old, and they were so bad they were like labour pains. The least she could have done was to offer her some Tylenol or Ibuprofen (whichever works for her) for the pain, since that is pretty much all you can do for it....

Imagine milking a cow by hand!

barehugs @barehugs (8973) • Canada 26 Mar 13

I grew up on a farm before there was electricity and everything was done by hand, even milking the cows. Milking time was 6am, and 6 pm, and everyone helped. We all had cows (we called them our cows) that we milked. To milk a cow...

AnnieOakley1 Nope, I never had to milk a cow by hand....yet....but I may still do so, since I have been reading that they are planning on putting Aspartame into the milk without labeling it. If that happens, I WILL just buy my own cow and will be milking it myself for our...

AnnieOakley1 Your b/f has (without realizing it) caused this problem by allowing the dog in his bed. The dog sees you as encroaching on his territory now. The dog CANNOT be allowed in the bed, or even the bedroom, unless he is on the floor......NO BED. This should solve...

AnnieOakley1 Eat some Cannabis Oil about an hour before you want to go to sleep. Make sure it is made with INDICA flowers, as that makes you very sleepy. WORKS GREAT! And it is organic & natural which is much better than using Pharmaceutical drugs that can be addictive and...
