I've gotten up, had my coffee, looked a bit at my email and my mylot responses, even posted one discussion, but really I just feel like going back to bed. I feel emotionally, physically and spiritually bankrupt today and hope that...

coryronald Darling, Sleeping is my hobby and my biggest vice. I work from home, and it takes absolute willpower to not slip in a 30 minute nap around 3pm. When I do it (which is much more often than I'd like to admit) I feel totally guilty, like I've betrayed myself and...

I have had quite a few men come into the store with the idea of buying their girlfriends or wives a gift. Well, since I work in the shoe department, I think a gift of shoes is a little unusual for a man to buy, but have quickly...

coryronald I am the opposite of a shopaholic. When I walk into a store and there are more than 2 people, I bolt. My husband, on the other hand, loves to browse and is the one who shops for most of my clothes. Mind you, he's an absolute real man. Not the least bit metro....

I make myself laugh. You can tell by my posts that I have gone back to work as my posts recently seem to revolve around it. Anyway, where I work is near the cosmetic counters and usually I stop and use the lotions or perfumes. I...

coryronald Hi Kbourgerie, You know what? Lotions and perfumes are my most common splurge. What's funny is how many of them (the lotions, not the perfumes) end up lying fallow in a basket, congealing through the years. Before I buy them, I've circled them, stroked them,...

While I was working today two uniformed policemen arrested one of the employees that worked at the Estee Lauder counter. I have no idea what she may have done, but apparently she had worked there for awhile. My personal opinion is...

coryronald You would think that if the law says a person is innocent until found guilty, an arrest would be handled a little more privately. Now, even if they find her not guilty, she will live with the red herring of a public arrest. Even if the company issues a public...

coryronald Dear SViswan: What a fabulous question! My mom is from Mexico and when we lived in Mexico we used to love to wear traditional Mexican clothing every chance possible. Fortunately I was in high school and everybody loved the embroidered tops, the woven skirts,...

coryronald Dear Leeannmarie: First of all, I'd like to say that it's admirable that you are caring for your older parents. I am fortunate that my mom and step dad are still able to hold on to their independence, but I know that one day I will need to give them a lot more...

coryronald Well yes, perhaps it's worth researching. I can tell you that my doctor has come to the rescue for me numerous times. You might like to look at her website to get a general idea of directions to consider. It's www.sachispirit.com. You may have a lot more...

coryronald This is my personal opinion: If your doctor has said that the treatment isn't urgent, you might try finding a very good holistic physician, such as a well-recommended doctor of Chinese medicine who would treat you with acupuncture and herbs to detoxify your...

coryronald Hi, Kbourgerie: That's such a good question. I have to say, I'm the moody one in the family. My husband is very sweet and wakes up the same every day. My ex was mentally ill and had to medicate every day. The time between when he woke up and the meds kicked in...

coryronald An important reason why you need to watch your son's weight is the potential to contract diabetes. As I understand it, once a person becomes diabetic, it's a lifelong and life threatening disease. Perhaps you can make your son understand that it's not just a...
