In the US, we are encouraged to get our infants their first immunizations when they are a few months old, and these continue until all the available ones have been received. They protect against polio, diptheria,...

ptty55 Hi PeacefulWmn...my concern comes when I read about the rapid mutations of H1N1. No single vaccine can address an on-going mutating virus. At this moment, in Canada, we have a Turkey farm in quarantine. They have determined that the turkeys are infected with...

Hi mylotters! I heard so many people complaining about their jobs. They keep on telling their friends and family that if it is only not needed and if they have a choice they will surely quit their jobs. Do you find yourself in...

ptty55 Thanks for your kind interest. I have settled into my new job. My boss is a little bit ditzy, but she is likeable and so far everything is going just fine. I am getting more hours now than I used to, so that is a bonus. I will keep you posted with my progress....

Hello all. I remember loving to read or be read to in my young years, and I always did the same when my children were young: read to them and make all kinds of books available to them as they grew. I remember...

ptty55 Wow Karen, with the mention of the Ed Sullivan show you have taken me down yet another wonderful path in my mind. Every Sunday night, after a wonderful dinner, we sat down at 8 pm and watched this wonderful show. I have remembered another book that was a...

You are the head of your country, whether that be president, king or queen, prime minister, whatever the head in your land is known as. Can you imagine this? The responsibility and pressures? Think of all the...

ptty55 This is a very wise topic to ponder. I have been thinking about it since I posted my response. Thanks for giving a reason to take a look around my own community. I may not be the Prime Minister of Canada, but I can take some responsibility for my own...

ptty55 My weight is around my mid-section too. I think that losing weight, and keeping it off, is one of the hardest things to do in life. I am determined to reach my goal weight. With winter knocking on the door, it might be a little uncomfortable for me to go...

ptty55 Hi KhoiPhish...I enjoy a good Psycological horror too. I like the gory stuff to be left to my vivid imagination. If I had my choice, I would always watch a good murder mystery.

ptty55 Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. Yes, there have been some policy changes and it does seem strange not to have my old co-workers around. I am just taking things one day at a time. I am just very thankful to have a job in this tough economy.

If I can keep my stars this month, I might actually earn some money for writing articles. All I can say is, it is about time. I would like to make a little cash from Helium since I have been writing a little on there. I know I...

ptty55 You are so right mommaj...my stars are hinged on a bungee cord. They bounce up and down and out frequently. I am so tired of leaping articles. I think that the answer is to just write and forget about the money.

ptty55 It would be wonderful to be able to go back in time and relive or change a moment in our lives. As we get older, we (hopefully)get wiser. We could turn back the clock and apply that wisdom to a time in our life when we were young and foolish.

ptty55 It is my understanding that writing to empty titles only gains you the upfront for empty titles. They are not eligible to be rated until they become competitive (three articles written to the same topic) Your writing score should not be affected by submitting...

ptty55 I agree with you tuckersheri, it is Miley's choice to delete her Twitter account. I twitter occasionally, but don't see what all the fuss is about. It is a rather boring place to spend too much time. Maybe she found she was spending more time twittering than...

Is anyone else discouraged by the blatantly racist representations of President Obama that seem to be floating around everywhere? For a country that was supposed "past racism," we still seem awfully full of racism.

Are doubts OK in a relationship, or are they for people who should be single because they don't know what they really want? I'm in that boat right now. Very familiar story... he's such a great guy, but I don't know if we're right...

ptty55 Having doubts about a relationship is normal. I think it would be unhealthy not to have some reservations. Questioning your part in a relationship keeps you on your toes. Complacency and acceptance have caused many relationships to die too early. Having...

ptty55 Beautiful response cloudwatcher. Without God and Jesus Christ in my life, I don't think I would still be alive. My faith in my heavenly Father keeps me going through both the good and bad times in my life.
