Do you kill spiders everytime you see one in your house, or at least try to? I usually leave them alone unless they are invading my space too much by being somewhere that is very inconvenient or just plain too close. Otherwise I...

I've had difficulties with depression all of my life. Recently, a friend who's a psychiatrist recommend EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Response). Therapists must be specially trained to do it. I've been going for about...

evalowrain I have a very simple bug policy: I go into their world, I'm fair game. They come into my world, they're going to die - unless my husband is there to escort them out. Or, unless their crickets, because supposedly, it's bad luck to kill crickets. I also...

evalowrain The current recommendation is that children should visit the doctor once a year after age one. My daughter is almost 4 and we still haven't been. But we do brush her teeth regularly.

evalowrain My current favorite theory: The Others are the hostiles. For some reason, they were sent there to stop the Dharma initiative and to 'guard' the island. That's why they live there. They have to protect it from outsiders because there's something powerful about...

What is up with Jack playing football with the others? Is he trying to win their trust? Do you think he now knows something that of course we don't...lol. WHat do you think is going on?

evalowrain I think the others are just relaxing around Jack. Jack's not stressed because he's not going anywhere - he's made a deal with the devil to get off the island and he thinks he and Blond Other Chick can actually get Ben to keep his word. So, everybody's getting...

It was very important to me when I became a parent that I not transfer any irriational fears to my children. The most irrational fear I probably have had in my life is my fear of snakes. My fear of snakes definitley came from my...

evalowrain Centipedes, snakes, spiders, ticks, cockroaches - most of the major icks bother me. I do not, however, consider fear of snakes irrational. Some of those dudes are poisonous and they're all wild!

evalowrain I've had great luck with the ignoring during the fit. I just walk away and ignore her. I've even put myself in time out - going into the bathroom and just shutting the door while she had her temper tantrum. I used to put her in her room and say, "When you're...

evalowrain They should read the Four Agreements. It explains that there's a difference between being impeccable with your word and being "honest." Impeccable means that, while you are truthful, you are not hurtful. Too many people don't understand that their words do...

that you reused a coffee filter? I forgot to buy some yesterday and I was looking forward to coffee this morning. What could I do? I rinsed out the previous one and reused it. Guess I'm really, really ready for the weekend! :-)

evalowrain Oh, sure. I've been so desperate, I drank yesterday's coffee. Or reused the grounds. Next time, you can use a paper towel as a filter. You just put it in and cut around to make it fit. It works perfectly.

evalowrain I'm sorry. Those people aren't correct. True, people do marry the wrong person. But I think many give up too soon. It's true, The love you feel when you're newlyweds doesn't last forever. But love evolves, and once you accept that evolution, it's deeply...

Personally, I thought Conan was dumb, dumb, dumb. And sexist. And silly. What I can't understand is why so many men LOVE Conan. Even intelligent, 'sensitive' guys love Conan.

evalowrain Obviously, one beer now and then shouldn't hurt. I have to disagree that you could do it everynight, however, and not risk the baby. There are three things that I think you should consider: 1. Alcohol may help you go to sleep, but it actually disrupts...

I'll try to be brief. I'm currently overweight by about 50 pounds. I had lost weight and then I got pregnant, gained 30 pounds immediately, (I could only eat certain things and drink juice - everything else made me vomit)....

evalowrain That's good advice. Technically, I am obese - because I'm only 5'1". But I don't really look obese. The problem I have is that the first 3-4 months are horrible for me. I throw up constantly - the first time, I lost weight. To fix that, they put me on a...
