Over the months and years many of us are fortunate enough to become very friendly with people that we have met on this site. We joke about meeting safe in the knowledge that we are often hundreds or thousands of miles away. But if...

halcyon1 Personally, I tried to do that when I was 20, and I got cold feet! It was awful. I was supposed to buy a plane ticket to go meet a dear internet friend, (which I couldn't really afford), and I ended up completely avoiding him for a month or so. It was really...

halcyon1 My boyfriend was a heavy smoker, and his family has a history of high blood pressure. His hands would go numb very easy, and feet too, but then he began to take aspirin (low dose) daily, and it felt better. He didn't consult any doctor, because he doesn't have...

halcyon1 Some smelly furry cheeses gross me out, but I love Italian Taleggio, just the way you like it!!! Bread, grapes, hard salami and red wine! The Taleggio cheese smells like feet, I swear it! But when you eat it, it's so creamy, and the flavor is very light!...

halcyon1 I'd go with aspirin too! My boyfriend takes it, and can notice the difference in how he feels. We also give it to our cat, Beatrice, every 3 or 4 days, (cats digest aspirin slower than people do) ever since she was diagnosed with heart disease, and she's doing...

halcyon1 That would be good in and of itself. If you are honest about your being apprehensive, even if the roots of it are more complex than you let on, she'll be really grateful. I think it'll show her that you're a true friend, that you trust her with your...

halcyon1 My own twist on all the great advice in here...be honest with your friend about your reservations when you do come together to talk! She may be feeling not only jealousy, rage, and grief, but she might also feel like a pariah. When people are depressed, they...

Reading for me, is as natural as breathing. I was introduced to books/magazines at a very young age (in fact, I'm not too sure all were "appropriate" for my age when I read them). Both my parents were inclined to reading (my...

halcyon1 What's a trade paperback? I've never heard of it! I love reading too! I've been an avid reader since I was in grade school! Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy books too often, but I definately hit up the library for books when I can. I usually check out...

My mother was just diagnosed? I don't understand this condition, I just know the pain it causes? But what exactly is it?

fibromyalgia

halcyon1 Nobody knows how it's caused for sure! If you check out Wikipedia, it gives a history of the study of fibromyalgia, and possible causes. I'm sorry your mother has fibromyalgia! good luck with your research.

halcyon1 My concern would be that she wouldn't be getting her homework done. Other than that, there IS the virus concern. (I know a girl who is very mature, and she downloads viruses all the time. There are predators who pretend they are these kids' friends, and they...

halcyon1 I have never tried downloading music from the internet. It seems expensive, isn't it like $2 per song? I only buy used cds these days, but would be open to downloading music if it were cheaper. It's funny, because I have like 200 cassette tapes, and a lot...

halcyon1 I freakin love pandora radio! It's so great to listen to your kind of music at school, the library, home, wherever there's a computer and you have work to do! It's the greatest thing that's happened to me since one click ordering on amazon.com!!!
