CoffeeWoman This is definately true. We give of phermones and don't realize it. Story 1: A friend is going through chemo for cancer. One the cats, who normally will not leave the friend alone, will not go near her for three days after a treatment. Story 2: My...

Whenever I go online, I can find people who are always bashing of God. Well, myLot's forum is one of them. One of Ten Commandments says that "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain". Someone whom I know...

CoffeeWoman When reading your response, I had two reactions. We "mention God" because it is being constantly jammed down our throats. The second, post-caffeine response was that, when discussing religion (or any topic, really), one has a tendency to use the vocabulary...

CoffeeWoman When you get down to it, are they "bashing God" or simply bashing organized religion as a whole? Especially consider the athiests and agnostics... they do not believe in a god, Christian or otherwise. How can they, therefore, be bashing something that does not...

I have to say that I am not a child any more. But sometimes I think I am childish. Besides, I have a child and therefore I have enough reasons to buy toys:) I buy various toys for my son. And actually I personally like some of...

CoffeeWoman Oh, yes! With a young niece and nephew, I'm rediscovering all sorts of toys that I was "too grownup for." As a matter of fact, a most amusing tournament happened at my sister's house over the holiday weekend. One of the toys (a basketball game where you need...

I got to thinking about the toys my children receive every year for Christmas, other holidays, and their birthdays. Ever since my first child was born, (8 years ago) I have tried my best to make it a point that if it required...

CoffeeWoman I agree! My niece and nephew (3 and 2, respectively) have tons of toys - perhaps literally tons. They beep and play music and sing and make all sorts of noises. And, yes, the kids do play with them. I've noticed, however, that they gravitate to the toys that...

My little kitten, who I adopted when he was only a week old, died this morning. He was about 5 weeks old. He had been doing very well, we were weaning and he was becoming playful and active. Then, when I got home last night, I...

One of the most difficult symptoms for me to manage that I get from Borderline is periodic dysphoria, where I feel very bad for no apparent reason. It feels like a heavy weight, and I don't know how to make is stop, because even...

CoffeeWoman IMHO, I think you've found one of the few things that work. I was on Effexor as well and had to come off of it because of adult-onset diabetes. After some messing around, my doctor finally put me on Zoloft, which I've been on for four years now - it has made...

CoffeeWoman Yep - finally found the cure - find yourself homeless with three cats. You won't sleep for days and days and finally will simply pass out from sheer exhaustion. (sigh)

CoffeeWoman What I wouldn't give to try this wine!!! (i'm a fledgling home winemaker and a Tool and A Perfect Circle fan) Unfortunately, I'm in one of the states that can not receive mail-order wine (sob). Nor do I know anyone in states who CAN get it. (what Uncle Sam...

CoffeeWoman I don't know where mom is. We think it may be a certain cat near where I work who has litter after litter and abandons them. The other strays in the neighborhood have been caught and neutered/spayed, but we can't seem to catch her.

CoffeeWoman We think he's about 4 weeks. I haven't tried him on dry because of the teeth - hence why I've been trying soupy wet food. I find it ironic because my other two boys (8yr old bengal and a 7mnth old marble) looooooooooooove wet food. The moment they hear the can...

CoffeeWoman Whenever I find that I can't get my bobbin adjusted (for one reason or another) and start losing patience, I take it to the local Hancock Fabric store and one of the ladies is usually able to help me resolve the issue. :)
