The last time I look at myself at the mirror, I found that my stomach is getting bigger, and my waist is definitely wider. I vowed to exercise more and eat more healthy. To the extreme, not eat that much at all in a day. A couple...

llowe3 sorry. I had just taken some ambien when I wrote that. It's always a surprise to find something I've written on that stuff. True Blood is a pretty great show, however. It's on HBO Sunday nights. It's a vampire show. It is quite unique however, because while...

llowe3 Thank you for sharing. Caring for a child with a disability is a humbling experience, and I think you are right it is a mystic journey of sorts. The world opens itself up in ways I could no have imagined. It is a very difficult time for all our family,...

llowe3 I would love some more ideas about jobs where I could bring him along with me. I am also thinking of volunteering at the school he's attending this year. Then I can be there when he has an episode, instead of coming after the fact. I don't know if that is a...
