I have had the same headache for days....

desireewilbanks @desireewilbanks (9) • United States 7 Apr 11

It's given, a migraine before my menstrual cycle and one during. Well this time it's different. I am currently on break from school, but only for a week. I was hoping to get a lot accomplished during my break, but it seems I won't...

KClaire I also get hormone related migraines and my doctor told me to take a double dose of Ibuprofin at the first sign of it coming on. I was sceptical but it works. When you have a migraine the blood vessels in your head dialate - Ibuprofin is a vaso-constrictor so...

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 5 Apr 11

Yeah, Eddie Murphy's 50th birthday was Sunday, and he celebrated by receiving a Kid's Choice Award for "Best Voice in an Animated Movie" the day before. (You remember Eddie Murphy from--besides his voice as the donkey in the...

KClaire 50???? How can that be possible? I feel very old suddenly. :) I think his best work was on Saturday Night Live and in Trading Places. Some of his later movies were atrocious but I've always enjoyed his stand-up.

The dead are richer than the living.

2loserzhaha @2loserzhaha (111) • United States 5 Apr 11

Why do people worry about burying people with fancy jewels and clothes, coffins with velvet and lead lining, spend all that money for a funeral service when it counts for nothing? They don't ever see the coffin, so it all just...

KClaire I fully agree. My father was always really opposed to the money people spent on funerals etc. When he died we had him cremated and I made the urn for his ashes. The funeral home tried to sell me one - some of which cost more than $1000. It was crazy. And,...

Husbands who are loving leaders

rebel_woman06 @SIMPLYD (90721) • Philippines 23 Feb 11

A man needs to lead his wife and children in a loving way and live his spiritual and moral values. It inspires his family to do the same. Do you believe in that? I do, because a lot of children whose fathers have other women...

Totally luscious dessert!

jillhill @jillhill (37354) • United States 5 Apr 11

Last week I was on vacation with my daughter and her family in Wisconsin Dells. I love eating in different restaurants and I love having dessert! We went to a place called Pedro's right in town. I was a Mexican restaurant and for...

KClaire I have (well a Mars bar actually) but I far prefer deep fried ice cream which I had in a Mexican restaurant. It was a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and the batter was crisp and crunchy and had a brown sugar and cinnomen flavour. Very, very good.

Vitamin D and Excema

KClaire @KClaire (20) • Canada 4 Apr 11

My son was recently discovered to be very low in vitamin D. The doctor put him on supplements. I know that there have studies that indicate that low levels of vitamin D are linked with excema so I was hoping that the supplements...

So I was just in the convenient store when I heard the conversation between the two shop assistants there.They were talking about whether they brought gifts when they visited their siblings.One said that she had never done that...

KClaire I always bring gifts for my sister's kids but not for her and she does the same when she visits us. I might bring her something she can't get there (she's in the US, I'm in Canada). If we are staying with her then we'll take them out to dinner one night or...

KClaire Unless your co-worker can provide you with any sort of reason as to why or even how cold tea could cause stomach problems I'd keep on drinking it whatever way you prefer it. I drink iced tea all summer long and have never suffered any ill effects.

Do you believe that you only have one true love in your lifetime?

dragonangel @dragonangel (551) 4 Apr 11

There are so many people in the world but why choose someone to be with?This is true love they say.One among the so many people in the world.In my case, I too would claim that it is true,one love is meant for you.How about in...

KClaire I think there are many people that we can love and be happy with. In fact, I think it's a little dangerous to believe that there is one true love that you are destined to be with. Being in a relationship is hard work - ask anyone who has had a long and happy...

What do you think about do it yourself wedding invitation?

kateQ636 @kateQ636 (10) • United States 4 Apr 11

I'm getting married this december and want to save some money. I thought why not do a home made invitation? Besides after you give your invitation, usually, they just throw it out. Here in the Philippines the simpliest and...

KClaire I think it's a great idea. You can make something very professional looking with a home printer. As for changing your mind every few minutes - you settled on a groom, that's the hard part. lol why don't you show him a couple of the ones you've come up with and...

I Don't Want To Do My Homework!

Wordjunkie @Wordjunkie (435) • Canada 15 Sep 10

Yes, its that time of year again when this all too familiar phrase can be heard in many households across the country. Do Your Homework! Some children love it, many more hate it! Most teachers are reasonable when the pass out...

KClaire I think kids should have minimal homework until high school. I recently researched the subject for an article I wrote and there is absolutley no evidence that homework improves either understanding or overall performance in the early grades - and it's been...

Children playing video games that are rated higher than their age?

jesi06 @jesi06 (279) • United States 5 Feb 11

Do you allow your children to play video games rated higher than their age? My son is 9, he wants games rated E10+ and has even asked for M rated. I say no, but some members of my family have tried to "slip some through to him"....

children

ratings

video games

KClaire I think it depends entirely on the child. I have a nine year old child who has played some games that are rated teen, but none that are rated M. I think it depends too on whether or not he would be playing them alone or with an adult who could monitor the...

KClaire It really comes down to what sort of example you want to make. I fully agree that children learn far more from what we do than from what we say. However, I personally don't believe that the man is "the head" of the family or that his example is somehow more...

I'm 12 weeks pregnant now, but I noticed that my morning sickness is getting worse. This is new to me because I was lucky enough not to have any during my 1st pregnancy. But now, I felt like crying everyday, my stomach seems to...

KClaire Mine passed just after the 12 week point. I remember thinking that there was no way I was going to be be able to survive another six months of it and it went away. So hang in there. You should see your doctor or midwife if you aren't able to keep anything...

What do you do to pass time?

Desolater @Desolater (8) • United States 3 Apr 11

Ever been in a situation where time seems to be so slow and you can't wait any longer? This was what happened to me when I was on line for a very popular show. So what do you do to pass time? Unfortunately, there was nothing for...

KClaire I always have a book with me, in fact, now that I have an e-reader I always have several books with me - that way if I'm stuck in a line or on a bus or waiting for someone I always have something enjoyable to do.

Would it bother you if your significant other doesn't wear a wedding ring?

Michelle @infatuatedbby (94914) • United States 3 Apr 11

Would it bother you if your significant other does not wear a wedding ring? I know a few people who are married and the *guys* don't wear the wedding ring. I find that strange because that's just saying you're single in...

KClaire I think it all comes down to trust. If I trusted him then I wouldn't care if he wore the ring or not. If I didn't trust him then I still wouldn't care about his wearing a ring, it's the lack of trust that would be the problem. Rings don't keep people from...
