Would you just stop cold turkey? Or would you allow yourself a certain number of drinks per week or month? How have you done this, and what steps did you take? I'm older now and I feel drinking is a waste of time and money....

This has such actors as Patrick Swayze, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Cash, Hal Holbrook. I rented the whole thing and I'm about halfway through. It gives a history about the Civil War times. It is a very interesting movie, and the...

Geminigirl That's kind of how it is with me. I do not drink often. And when I do, it is in moderation. However, I just feel miserable the next day, moreso than I ever have before. I think it is just being older and having it hit me harder. It seems that the only choice...

Well I turned on some of my Christmass lights Halloween night. The reason I did this is because I have a lot of lights that cirlce the edge of my front yard & I did not want the kids tripping over the light string not seeing them....

Geminigirl That looks pretty cute. I used to do a lot more decorating than I do now. I guess I just lost my excitement for it but I think they look great on other peop's houses. I'm glad you are doing it for your kids.

The other day I was watching a financial show that claimed anyone can save at least one million dollars by retirement if they start investing early. I'm not sure if that's true. Certainly it's wishful thinking. I haven't even...

Geminigirl I would love to, but I don't think this is possible. I think one of the best ways to accomplish this would be to start at a very young age, like with your first job, at age 16. I have not done that, so I am way behind. But I'm not too worried about it. I'll...

Geminigirl I have heard of it and I think it is really lame. Sorry but when I grew up Halloween was Halloween regardless of what day it fell on. We always went out on the 31st no matter what day it was. And if it was super cold or rainy, we still went out. That was the...

Years ago, it was a fairly common thing, for people to 'borrow a cup of sugar,' etc., from their neighbours. I have neighbours who still feel comfortable doing this type of thing, which is fine by me. We live in a city, and...

Geminigirl I used to live in a small, close knit town and we would do things like tool swap. But now I'm in a more spread out area and don't really see my neighbors often. If someone came over and asked for a cup of sugar, I would think it was totally weird, but I would...

Geminigirl These are all helpful suggestions and I thank you for them. I don't feel that I'm really out of control, but I do notice how completely awful I feel if I have more than two drinks in a night, even if it is 3 drinks. I do not sleep well, and the next day I feel...

Geminigirl I guess the main thing is to set aside a certain amount of time and really commit yourself to doing your best and answering everything you can. At least this way, if you don't make it for Oct, you know for sure you'll get the $10 for November. Good luck!

This is one of life's big questions that has puzzled me for years. Thank goodness for myLot! Now I can finally learn the answer to my question. Is soup eaten or drunk? (drank? you get the idea...)

drink

eat

soup

Geminigirl I like to "eat" soup with a spoon, even if it is all broth. I guess I feel this way because it is what my parents taught me to do. However, it would work just as well to pour it in a cup and drink it. Probably easier, too!

Geminigirl I have that problem too. I love for it to be totally quiet when I am sleeping. If something like this comes up, I try to not get frustrated. I try to think pleasant thouhgths and focus on my breathing and hope to be able to drift off to sleep.

Geminigirl I do not know if get 8 measured glasses, but it has to be somewhere close. I also have water on hand and my desk and usually beside my bed at night. I feel better when I drink lots of water, but I get annoyed at having to go to the bathroom so much! LOL!

Geminigirl I really love the idea of it! If it was just me and hubby it would be ok. But since we have our pets it would not work. So if the pets can't be there, then I can't either. But if that were not the case, I would be all over that!
