Christmas night- 6:30 PM----A night which will live in infamy; well, at least to me it will. My wife and I were doing some last minute Santa Claus deliveries to our son. He had recently married and moved into his new wife's...

singout Thanks for your response MoonGypsy. Wow! You said it happened when you were a baby. Were you old enough to remember anything about it? At least I made contact with the floor a little sooner than you did.

Diplopia. What a wierd word. It means "Double vision." Wierder yet, is how it hit me and what caused it. See if you have experienced something similar: I woke up one fine Friday morning, minding my own business, getting...

singout Although I see well out of my right eye (in fact it is my best seeing eye), If I were to cover my left eye and just used my right eye I would fall over from dizziness. It's the muscles that control the eye which is affected. Those muscles don't move fast...

Help! This thing is driving me crazy! Are there any other sufferers out there? What do you do for it? I've tried everything. For those who have no idea of this condition, I will try to explain it. When you have a chronic cough...

singout Thanks for your response maggie2redcar. My cough has finally waned a bit but is still ever present. It will also come back full-fledged if I happen to catch a cold. The cold symptoms will go away but the cough will remain. The reason I started a regimen of...

I've heard it said we all dream every night but we seldom remember them. I would love to be able to remember my dreams more often than I do. Is there a formula or food which will cause one to remember what was dreamed? If you have...

My wife and I have been traveling around the country in our motor home for the past year and really enjoying it. But our problem is that we're trying to live a champaign life on a beer budget. First, we bought a 35 ft, 1998...

singout Thank you for your response maximax8. From what you have described to me it sounds like you would need a class C RV. I have a class A which is designed for 2 people plus a guest or two. Class C's are designed for families and will sleep more people. You can...

I was having a conversation with my wife's brother-in-law about how the wonderful things we enjoyed in our past have completely disappeared. The negativity in our conversation made me wonder if anything was left. For instance,...

singout How right you are coffeebreak! I miss the old "point" to go to with my dad when we really wanted to catch some fish. That place was always good for an impressionable, growing boy. Now, high rise condos have been built there instead. Didn't they realise what...

singout Thank you for your response ladym33. There are some things that do last seemingly forever. The mountains are a good example. I never cease to thrill when I see them. Maybe we should focus our attention on those everlasting things. It's better for us...

singout Wow! That was a great response coffeebreak. I have never been to LV and it sort of gives me an idea of how everything changes in that part of the country. Thank you so much for the insight. Now when I do go I can have an interesting mental picture of "before...

singout Thanks for your response mentalward. That was just the type of thing I was looking for. It is kind of sad isn't it? It just shows you how small a part of time we share as well as the things that we enjoyed so much.

singout Thanks for your response lady1993. The poem will be included in a book of poetry which is due to be published in about 2 months. Since I wasn't the compiler I don't think I am at liberty to divulge the title as yet. But I can give you the website where all of...

singout Maybe I should have said I can never remember that I've even dreamed. When I wake up I am usually unaware that I've even dreamed. I'm sure I did but most of them don't stick out as a dream. I'll learn how to express myself one day. Thanks for the...

singout Thank you for your response christinamarie. When all else fails I go into my poetry mode and I can usually find something to write about. There is nothing more frustrating than writers block.
