mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 3 Oct 07

If I can only visit one city in Italy - which one should I visit?

mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 3 Oct 07

I want to visit Italy but time and money is very tight, so I may not get every where I want to go. My grandmother says to go to Venice because it's sinking and much of it could be lost over the years to come. But Florence is my...

Buckaroo Banzai

mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 3 Oct 07

Okay, this is digging in the past a bit - I know it wasn't a box office hit or anything, bit it is a cult favorite. So does anyone have a favorite line from Buckaroo Banzia across the 8th dimension? Here's mine: Mission...

What is your favorite line from Ghostbusters?

mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 2 Oct 07

Mine is: "Mother Pussbucket" (when the marshmallow man steps on the church) - which is also my favorite substitute for swearing since it sounds really bad, but isn't.

Do you prefer Sting as a solo artist or with the Police?

mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 2 Oct 07

I am the only one among my friends who has about an equal number of CDs of Sting and Police. It just depends on my mood and I don't really equate the 2 styles. Most of my friends seem to be firmly Sting fans OR Police fans and...

After years of fighting Fibromyalgia doc thinks I have Multiple Sclerosis

mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 2 Oct 07

I may have been misdiagnosed apparently, now that the muscle weakness is worse than the pain - I have to go in for an MRI and possible a spinal tap to see for sure. Has this happened to anyone else? I've also had tremors, but I...

Those with BPD, if you could turn it off like a switch, would you?

mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 30 Sep 07

This came upin one of the international (based in the UK) studies/surveys - and they found that a significant portion of respondents actually said no. I was one of them - which surprised even me. Maybe its because I was diagnosed...

Those of you on Topamax - what foods and drinks taste weird now?

mkjohnson @mkjohnson (41) • United States 30 Sep 07

I can't drink sodas anymore because they taste just awful - and milk chocolate tastes bad, but dark chocolate tastes fine. And why does orange gatorade taste okay, but orange Powerade taste horrible?? They both tasted just fine...
