A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

When I came out of hospital eight months ago having had major surgery I felt tired now most of the time. That tiredness is relatively quickly but two day I find that there is still a period, usually in the afternoons, where I just...

catdla1 If you go to bed and dream about all of us...maybe you aren't getting the rest you think you are? That would make you for tired, no matter how much you slept.

A Tart in the Making

Hot, tasty, seductive and alluring.....I had a cheese and onion tart for lunch. Roquefort cheese and caramelised onion in a quiche eggy base all plonked into a pastry case. I wonder who comes up with such ideas. I wonder what...

catdla1 Try dusting your popcorn with hot chocolate mix powder. Satisfy a chocolate craving without feeling guilty about it.

Is there any way that I can eat my fast food slowly?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 23 Sep 12

I have a problem. I have been experimenting with a fast food diet. Initially it started well, a burger at 15mph was consumed with one hand on the wheel. However, pizza, extra pepperoni, at 35mph was much harder and I nearly...

I´m getting tired of murders, DNA and reality shows.

marguicha @marguicha (223721) • Chile 18 Aug 12

Some time ago, there were shows on TV for every taste and we could get unhooked from one show because there was another good one. Now all sorts of murders (fake and real) get much of the audience as it´s do realities. I feel that...

So you want an original discussion

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 26 Jul 12

catdla1 Before surgery became so commonly done, probably most wealthy patients were cared for in their homes, or as a guest at the doctor's home. It was the less fortunate who had to go to the doctor for treatment, since doctors would not go to them. Since the word...
