How long is your usual waiting time?

Amber @AmbiePam (92474) • United States 13 Nov

I had a doctor’s appointment at 9:30am. I left the facility at 11:30am. The funny thing is, I talked to the doctor no more than 15 minutes. Months ago,I had an appointment with him once at 7:45am. I got out of there that day at...

patgalca I don't usually have to wait to go into the patient room, but once in there I wait for quite a bit. I think it's because my doctor is part of a walk-in clinic and may have priority patients come in (like sick babies). I will arrive on time but am usually there...

I had a scare this morning

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47274) • St. Catharines, Ontario 14 Nov

When I flipped open my laptop, nothing happened: the screen was black I thought, "Oh no, not again!" I really don't want to have to buy a new one. So I pushed buttons and flipped toggles and nothing. Then I...

patgalca I have my computer be plugged into the power bar, battery fully powered, but go off when the power bar gets unplugged. That leaves me scratching my head because the battery is fully charged.

Is there anything you regret not doing when you were younger?

Shavkat @Shavkat (139828) • Philippines 20 Sep

The most regretful thing that I have done during my younger years is not to continue doing miracle work for the needy ones. It has been more than a decade that I have not done something like this. I tried to do volunteering across...

patgalca When I was growing up, we didn't have parents who preached on how you could do anything you wanted to do, anything you set your mind to. There is nothing holding you back, etc. I wasn't encouraged to do anything, not even go to camp in the summer. Being the...

Pain, Pain, Go Away!

Kandase @Kandae11 (54986) 27 Aug

My late brother-in-law suffered from severe arthritis, so did my late mother. I remember both were always trying different things for relief, but my mom had it harder because she never liked taking prescription drugs. Millions of...

patgalca I do have fibromyalgia (caused by traumatic experiences), and arthritis as a result of injuries when I was younger. What 20-something thinks to get something looked at with the thought that the injury could result in arthritis down the road? Yes, my mother had...

I didn't know that joint pain was a side effect of menopause

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119543) • United States 27 Aug

I'm not going to lie--I don't go to the gynecologist regularly. I probably haven't been in 15+ years. I have never tried to have children and used non-prescription methods of birth control. They can keep their paper aprons....

patgalca I have fibromyalgia and arthritis so these pains having to do with menopause are new to me. I have been post-menopausal for 10 years, but I haven't had those pains all those years, only the last couple of years which means it's all a part of aging. I think...

Peelers and arranged marriages

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339509) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Jun

I’ve been reading a book by Peig Sayers. It’s her autobiography, entitled 'Peig', and translated into English from Gaelic by Bryan MacMahon. Peig was born in 1873. She was born on the Dingle Peninsula but spent forty years on...

patgalca If often wished that my father had found possible suitors for me. He had tons of friends. Surely some of them had to have a son around my age. I haven't made the greatest choices myself.

What did you have for breakfast on this sunny and cool Friday?

The Horse @TheHorse (218548) • Walnut Creek, California 24 May

I got some errands done after Guitar Center yesterday. A quick trip to the grocery store netted me some frozen dinners, some wet food for Kitty, some overly sweet coffee beverage (I was in an experimental mood), and some eggs. I...

patgalca I used to be in a lot of pain from my fibromyalgia. But taking Mag-Citrate (magnesium with malic acid) helped considerably. In fact, I went from taking 8 Tylenol 3 a day to just 2. You are taking an awful lot of pain meds. I will keep you in...

Have you ever been offered money to change your review?

Amber @AmbiePam (92474) • United States 13 May

I guess some sites can just delete bad reviews, but some places like Amazon supposedly don’t do that. Plus, they tell you if someone offers you money to change your review to report them. If you take the money you’ll be banned...

patgalca I wish! But it would have to be a lot more money than that. I'm not getting paid to read all these books I'm reading. If I could earn some money doing it that would be great. But I'm not taking $50 to change my review.

patgalca Why the heck can't she have the stuff shipped to her new address? She obviously ordered recently because packages don't take that long to be delivered. Something is not sitting right here.

1 April - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (317040) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 1 Apr

Looking for Brown Leather Boots

Tuna Salad Sandwich for Supper

No Magic Potion to Live Longer

Shavkat @Shavkat (139828) • Philippines 19 Feb
