sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 25 Mar 07

OMG. Ok, I thought that part of the show ROCKED! Actually, I had heard that song "Ooh La La" before, (got it free on iTunes a while back), but I had no idea what else they sang til now. After watching that episode of The L Word, I...

Non-disabled/delayed children putting wierd stuff in mouths?

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 21 Mar 07

I'm just curious.. I know that young children go through an "oral" stage, where they put things in their mouths. This could be small toys, money, rocks, dirt, etc.. And from what I can tell, in a child who has some kind of...

How many were/are chronic sufferers of Lyme Disease?

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 20 Mar 07

I have reason to believe that I have been (or that I am) a chronic sufferer. I have not been tested yet- I need to get my "script" to get tested. However, the facts are looking more and more like this is something I should be...

Men- UGH! (who aren't generally mechanically inclined)

Do men think that just because they can fix a bike, a car, hell.. even a jet.. that means they're good at fixing sh*t around the house? So you can fix electronic stuff, electrical wiring, whatever.. WOO HOO! Doesn't make you a...

Does anybody have Phlebitis? How was it dx'd?

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 14 Mar 07

I believe that my grandfather had phlebitis, but he is no longer alive.. so I can't ask him any questions about it. I know he was on blood thinners for most of his life, and I want to say he had a vein removed from his leg....

Does your young child exhibit (extreme) independence?

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 13 Mar 07

Ugh, this drives me nuts!! (I just posted this on another Autism forum, and thought I'd see if any of you here can share in my frustrations LOL) My 3 1/2 yr old son is not just independent- he wants to do *everything* himself!...

Fess up, fellas. Ever had a sugar momma?

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 12 Mar 07

One of my ex boyfriends has had one! He told me of this older lady who was apparently loaded. And in return for some fun time in the sack, she would give him money to help pay for his bills, apartment, car payments, etc. I don't...

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 9 Mar 07

You might think this is a stupid question, but quite seriously.. do you honestly *expect* your wife (or your girlfriend, your significant other) to have your meals cooked, your house cleaned, your kids neat/tidy/quiet, when you...

Stores checking $1 bills to see if they're counterfiet?

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 5 Mar 07

Yesterday I went to the Goodwill to buy myself some jeans. I was waiting in line to pay, when I noticed the cashier marking bills with her special marker, to see if they were legal tender. I don't have a problem with this- stores...

Fast food- when they don't tell you your total before you drive up.

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 5 Mar 07

Maybe "fast coffee" doesn't necessarily qualify as "fast food", but anyway. I really like Caribou Coffee. However, I have a problem with the way they do an important part of their drive-thru business. Not one time have I placed an...

I'm curious.. for all of those with kids, or who have been around them. Is there anything that you have used for your children, that has become indispensible in your home? Such as baby wipes, rash cream, etc? My kids are 3 and...

Special needs programs that cater to specific communities

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 24 Feb 07

First, I suppose I should preface this by saying that I'm from a mixed background, so I have nothing against the community that is mentioned in this discussion. Secondly, I'm merely posing "food for thought" here, so my point is,...

My husband and I have been married for 8 1/2 yrs now. I am very good about being polite, and I thank him for making us an occasional meal. (I also thank him when he helps me out around the house). He doesn't usually return the...

I do more yard work than my husband. I don't even like it!!

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 23 Feb 07

Ok. First off, I realize that yard work isn't a "man's job". I'm a SAHM, so I'm here more than my husband is, and therefore I have more time to do that type of thing. However, is it too much to ask that my husband should actually...
