Aprilfreelance Someone else's impatience is not worth my life, or the life of my son. It would stupid to run a red light just because someone is honking their horn.

Ever since my daughter was a baby, she hasn't been able to drink orange juice without side effects. Every time she drinks orange juice she gets little bumps next to her mouth. They look like small ant bites. I'm not sure what type...

Aprilfreelance Don't let your mother's obsession bring you down. As long as you are within a medically healthy weight, that is all that matters. Too many mothers are doing this to their daughters; if your doctor says you are okay, your mother's neuroses is her own.

What do you do about a sister who follows you around like a lost sheep?

AnnikaHensen @AnnikaHensen (87) • United States 27 Jul 07

I'm not real sure why my older sister would be doing this, but I'm curious as to what others would do if it started happening to them. I know I'm being paraniod and all but I feel suffocated, everytime I turn around she's joining...

Aprilfreelance Unless you plan to write in a language other than English, I would suggest you learn how to write first. If we are to judge by this message, your grammar, spelling and punctuation skills would make a blog impossible to read.
