DCMerkle I've been a cat person all of my life. Cats can be very territorial. I thought that meant just areas that were theirs, but as I got older and really got into the habits of cats, I found that their owners were part of their territory as well. I've never had a...

DCMerkle I had a friend that was blind and he listened to audio books. I use to listen to them with him when I was visiting him. To me audio books aren't all that new, at least for me. Do I like the ebooks? No! I'd rather read the hard copy of a book. The publishing...

DCMerkle I get that way sometimes. I get to feeling a little down in the dumps. The more I fought it the worse I felt. I had a friend tell me that what I was really looking for was a pity party and just to have one and get it out of my system. You know what? It works....

DCMerkle I used Firefox since the beginning. I really don't like I.E., but about 6 weeks ago I had upgraded to the latest Firefox and all my bookmarks disappeared. It wouldn't fully load either. So, I went to my favorite PC forum and explained what had happened. I was...

DCMerkle eileenleyva, Your suggestion of going shopping is a good one, but I think I'll wait a bit. She's been sick with morning sickness. I can remember those days! Our children do make the world go around...and up and down....back and forth, but it sure keeps us on...

DCMerkle mermaidivy, If I remember right, it was just around the time that I switched her from breast milk to formula which was about when she was 6-8 months old. She just didn't want the breast anymore. At first it was just minor constipation, but as I moved...

DCMerkle Money, no matter how much or how well off one relative is than the other, can always cause trouble. I agree with the other posters that maybe you should make an attempt at paying the money back, even if it's in small amounts. My ex husband had a father that...

I was wondering if anyone collects old books. I mean the ones that you buy and trade that have value to them. I came across a bunch of books from Modern Library. It's a hobby that I really wouldn't mind getting into if I knew just...

DCMerkle didi13, I do understand what you mean. I love going to bookstores and libraries just for that same reason, the smell of books. I wish they could make an air freshener with that smell. I'd but it by the cases....lol DCMerkle

DCMerkle Soapies, Since I last posted this I have been lucky enough to finally find a pain med that, though not long acting, is non-addictive. It took me 2 years to finally get my insurance (HMO) to pay for it, but it works. I take it twice a day and only use the...

I a HP Compaq Presario CQ70. Lately, the screen has been rolling. If I tap it or adjust the way it lays open it'll stop. I have no idea what the problem is. It's my life line to the world. I'm disabled and on a very tight budget....

DCMerkle If it were as simple as replacing the monitor, like in a desktop I would do it in a heart beat, but it's a laptop. I hope that I can just replace the screen part of the laptop and it's not something that is beyond what I can do. DCMerkle

DCMerkle My daughter had the same problem. It got worse as she got older and I was potty training her. The Dr. had me dive her prune juice, change her diet, give her enema's, and at one point I was giving her Fletcher's Castoria. It was a child's laxative. I...
