I can't believe it! Something really impossible happened to me. Never in a million years have I thought that my life would be touched by AIDS. I know that the disease is out there somewhere, but I never thought that I would know...

canesfan1964 Hi Bounce, I too have had a friend that had AIDS. He died over 20 years ago and I still think about him often. It is a lonely time for him and the best thing that you can do is to be there for him in whatever way he wants. Maybe a visit to the hospital or...

Is that a light at the end of the tunnel?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 3 May 10

I don’t know whatever troubles or trials you’re going through, but I hope you would be able to relate to this discussion. The past couple of years have been pretty hard for me and my family, but it looks like there is a light at...

Did you give yourself a treat today?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 30 Mar 10

For the past few days, including last week, I’ve been dealing with a couple of major issues at work. I’ve been coming in early, staying late, and sometimes barely have time for lunch. Well today, I’ve come to a breaking point, for...

canesfan1964 I think everyone should give themselves a treat everyday. We all deserve it! :) You hang in there. Remember, it is just work..... It's important but not worth stressing over.

How would you feel about the bulge?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 29 Mar 10

When I started out in this company where I work for now, I was fairly fit. There was a lot of manual labor in the previous company. It was a small shop, where not only did I do all the paperwork, I also did all the heavy...

canesfan1964 Hi Bounce! I don't know how old you are but this is what happens when one becomes "middle-aged"! I would have given that guy a half of a peace sign to his thumbs up! The summer is coming and there will be more to do outside. Everyone gains a little during the...

When does a ‘Stop’ sign become a suggestion?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 15 Mar 10

On my way to work today, I passed through a residential area. It was mainly so I could avoid the regular rush on the main roads. One of the intersections I had to go through is a 4-way stop. As I was approaching the corner, I saw...

Do you know what happens at respite care?

mommaj @mommaj (23112) • United States 14 Mar 10

The facility my kids went to for respite care yesterday was awesome. They had an inside ball room, which is used for physical therapy during the week. The playground was awesome. It's built for children with disabilities. The...

canesfan1964 That is so wonderful to hear that you have this type of respite care. My son is 17. I remember how difficult it was to find places where he would fit in with other children. I would have given anything to have had an opportunity like this. It would have done a...

Some people dream ONLY in black and white!! How about you?

Tallygirl09 @Tallygirl09 (1380) • United States 13 Mar 10

I recently read that about 20% of people dream in black and white only. How sad that would be! I dream in vivid color. How about you?

Heart Attacks linked to Daylight Savings time change?? How strange!

Tallygirl09 @Tallygirl09 (1380) • United States 13 Mar 10

I just read an article that there is a high risk of a having a heart attack on the Tuesday following the Spring forward part of the daylight savings changes! They didn't say what the causes were but maybe it's stress related....

canesfan1964 I find that very interesting because my father suffered a heart attack over 20 years ago and it was at this time of year. He had a sudden death heart attack so I know that it does have something to do with stress.

Are you too proud to beg?

Last night, my 3-year old woke up at 1:30AM and wanted to eat some mac 'n cheese. I was sleepy and wanted to ignore him, but he kept on begging. The begging went on for several minutes, so I gave in. And he had his snack at...

Canucks: the comeback kids!

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 10 Mar 10

Great game tonight! It was 0-3 after the first period. Normally I would have given up and tune out. I would change the channel, and just wait for the next game. But considering that they've already had 9 games this season where...

canesfan1964 I have to admit that I sat down and watched the 1st and some of the second period and I just gave up (plus I was tired). I am so glad they came back. I know Luongo is happy. Those 3 they ripped past him in the 1st scared me. I think they are adjusting to...

How much wiggle room do you need?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 9 Mar 10

A question about survival. What’s constantly on your mind lately? Or what’s holding you back from breathing a sigh of relief? Is it an extra day for a homework deadline? Or an extra day for the paycheck to come before a...

Brooke Shields endorsing drugs is so very wrong!!

Tallygirl09 @Tallygirl09 (1380) • United States 8 Mar 10

Have you ripped a button out?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 8 Mar 10

So last night, as I was preparing my clothes for work the following day, I noticed that my shirt was missing a button. I wondered how I lost that button. And I thought I’d ask fellow myLotters here if they’ve lost a button on...

How long can you hold your breath?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 3 Mar 10

About anger. I guess to put it more technically, how long is your fuse? When something or someone frustrates you, how long can you keep your anger in check? Are you able to hold it in? How do you manage it? Or are you...

Adam was not at the hearing. Has he skipped town? Or, was sticking to Victor by stalling the Jabot sale without getting into trouble himself? I don't think anything has happened to him but he may have gone to Boston to try and...
