Christine637 I am not a vegetarian, just wish I could be. I know what you do feeds us all, I have to give you credit for that work. I just know I could not do it. Not that I'm right, I'm a hypocrite cuz like I said I'm not a vegetarian. Isn't it an odd world where we...

Christine637 Would buying the Kettle Corn even help? I don't know I was just grasping at straws. You do have quite a complicated and busy life. It makes me feel like a sloth. I go to work, I come home, clean, sleep, go to work... very simple, too simple actually - more...

For those who have read a few of my recent posts-- I am an agoraphobic, a severe one. I can only tolerate being around my other half, my two sons and a few other people. The only time I leave the farm at all is to go to doctors'...

Christine637 It is probably one of those newly, untested procedures that have to go through clinical trials. Unfortunately for my father it is too late, but I'm glad for those who may benefit from it. This has been an educational discussion and I agree with you that it is...

If I had to be something other than a human being I would choose to be my cat Lucy. Her day starts with an immediate meal, even before I have my first cup of coffee in the morning. After that she goes for a stroll and plays with...

Christine637 very good point ravisvan! It's true not all animals have it so good, not to mention children. Some of us do have the luxury of indulging our pets while in the same world some of us aren't even paying attention to their own children. I am one of those who is...

Hello fellow mylotters, I've been adviced by a gynecologist that I had consulted 4 weeks ago to undergo surgery to remove a uterine fibroid, because it is already grown as big as a 4 month old baby in the womb and it is really...

Christine637 If they can confirm it is uterine fibroids, from what I was told surgery is about the best way. I have read stuff about progesterone creams, and other alternatives but if you have something that large, I can't imagine that will work. Maybe the person who...

Christine637 I had an MRI, I thought, but then when i was there for some reason I think it was a CAT (PET), I'm so sorry, but it's the test where they see inside in much more detail. I had to get an IV of dye, if that's any hint. I had ultrasounds and that just shows...

So vaguely remember my father, when I was growing up, walking through the garden and picking up randome leaves and flowers and saying "you know you can eat these" and then shoving them in his mouth and chewing away. I cannot...

Christine637 My family used dandelion in salads. I always found them bitter. My dad used to show me plants too, mostly leaves - mint for example. I would never try this on my own. There's got to be a website to help you identify the plants.

I received an email that was a recording of a telephone conversation between a supposed neurosurgeon and a radio DJ. This caller tells the DJ that Obama's new health care bill will not allow him to operate on patients over 70 with...

Christine637 I can't even pretend to be a techie but that does sound interesting. My husband just walked out in a huff just now because I didn't go see 2016 Obama's America's with him. He thinks that will change my opinion?? One of the problems was I wasn't ready to leave...

at my house anyway. I was offline for over four days before the cable guy came and fixed it. I learned that I really enjoy reading when the house is quiet and my pets asleep by my side. I learned that TV is really horrible...

Christine637 That's odd, rain effects it. We have a cable connection so as long as all of these little boxes and wires work, we all set.

Christine637 The internet is just a representation of the world, it's only run by people and as always - there's some good and some bad.

Christine637 I've been spending lots of time here too and have put the books down, though I do try to mix it up here and there. By the way, you are doing great with English and I'm so impressed with those whose first language isn't English here.

I'm in my 50s thank you. It seems to me that print is just impossible to read anymore. I mean print on everything, aspirin bottles, prepared food packages, anything where you have to read instructions! I went to an eye doctor...

Christine637 Same here, seems like there are a lot more people fed up with all of them. There's a neighbor whose house is surrounded by election signs, but on his front lawn he has his own "VOTE THEM ALL OUT"

Christine637 Your story is one of the reasons why I so wanted someone to fix the health care system because ANYONE could find themselves in that same situation. I remember about ten or so years ago talking to a woman waiting on me at a deli with a broken arm and somehow we...

Christine637 I had to learn how to look up phone numbers in a phone book!! What?? Something would come up and I'd want to go look it up on the internet and I'd forget that it wasn't working. It's so odd how much we've come to depend on it.

Christine637 I'm sure people are people all over, therefore politics well... I just wish for once I could believe anything. I think with our system though, even if a politician truly believes he/she wants to get something done, it's so hard to get through. I'm trying very...

Christine637 You don't have to be that old. If you're getting there and have concerns for your own future, or what if your parents or grandparents are elderly? It is just wrong all the way around to have people fear for themselves and their loved ones. Being unemployed...
