My father passed away 6 years ago this month and I still miss him terribly. He and I were very close, even though living 3000 miles apart. We did video chats a lot and that helped. But every April, I feel that ache in my heart...

thescribbler Sorry. I've been very sick for weeks now. I'm still fighting it but thought I'd turn on the computer for a while. I really do appreciate everyone's comments. I just don't have the strength to respond to each one individually. I hope you, and they, understand.

If you'll be given the chance to undo things in the past what would it be? Do you think your life would be different now if you just make the right decisions before? Everyone of us commit mistakes in life. We sometimes lose...

thescribbler I totally agree. I sometimes wished I had not done some things but I learned so much from doing the wrong things, or being a fool. I wouldn't change anything about my life.

thescribbler Smoothies are a great way to hide veggies. Kale might be too much but romaine lettuce, carrots, etc can be blended with a banana, some strawberries (frozen is okay)and some apple juice. Yummy.

thescribbler I remember smells too. Whenever I smell Ivory soap, I think of my aunt's house. Actually her bathroom. Brings back fond memories. I work from home so I don't smell my house anymore either, unless I go out for the day. Then I welcome the familiar smell of...

thescribbler To be honest, it sounds like you have something else going on in your life and you're using weed to try to escape it. Take stock of your life. Are you a happy person? Are you depressed about things? If you can figure out what's really going on and deal with...

I heard about this great lipstick size charger for about ten dollars on everbuying dot com. It looks like the perfect thing to keep in my purse for emergency recharges. But when I filled out the form and put in my credit card...

thescribbler It got mixed reviews. Some people were very happy with them, but others called them scam artists. You're right. I should have used paypal.

No one likes him. I wish they'd get rid of him. He made himself the tribe "leader" which usually means any early exit, so what are they thinking??

thescribbler Please also shop at local used book stores. Instead of pouring money into a large corporation, you'd be supporting local people who are usually great, knowledgable book lovers whose dollars stay in the community. And even if they don't have the latest best...

thescribbler You need to see a doctor. Now. Many things can cause your symptoms, and many of those are fairly easily remedied. Especially if they're caught early. Please don't hesitate. Here online, we can only guess and that could even be dangerous. See a doctor ASAP. I...

thescribbler Hi! Congratulations on getting this far with your book. I've written a few so my advice is simple: write for yourself. Say what you want to say, not what you think readers want to read. And let the first draft flow out of you without editing as you go along....

thescribbler If you use a POD (publish on demand) printer, you get to have real books to hold in your hand and sell both online and offline. I use lulu.com and am very happy with them. See my books at www.lulu.com/lougrantt. I say, go for it. Write it, get it done, rewrite...

I've found articles that CoQ10 and a few other things can really help weak muscles get stronger. It's not a cure, but the articles say it really helps. Has anyone tried any of these things? Or other things? MDA seems to be...

thescribbler I take 100 mg once a day. Before I started, my heart was weak and I often had palpitations. Now my heart is much stronger, and no more palpitations. I don't think my muscles are stronger. In fact, I continue to get weaker. I have Limb Girdle Muscular...
