Any Insomniacs?

shylesson @shylesson (360) • United States 15 Oct 06

I'm an insomniac. I hate it. I can't sleep for anything. I have tried everything. Does anyone know a real way of getting to sleep fast?

Gigglygrrl Yeah, since being diagnosed I have done my Master's degree, an additional gratuate certificate as well as my coursework for my PhD. I have used the insomnia to my advantage. But sometimes I just want to be normal and sleep without having to pop a pill.

Quick Question...Need an Answer ASAP! Please!

Gigglygrrl Foxfire, why is it unfair for a teacher to set up a rubric and follow through? He has a week to get the homework completed, he has his time frame and should be able to, depending on their age, divide up the homework and complete it. If your boss told you he...

coffee mugs: do you have one just exclusively yours?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 9 Mar 07

I used to work in a company years ago and I remember a new employee came in and during break periods, he would just get any mug he could get hold of and use it to the annoyance of the rest of us. Later on he was diagnosed to have...

Gigglygrrl I have two coffee mugs I keep at school. One is for my coffee in the morning and the other is for my Coke Zero in the afternoon! I keep my coffee mugs in my classroom so no one will use them. I bought them, they are mine and I don't use other people's mugs. If...

Gigglygrrl Growing up I never had a desire to get married. I always knew I would have children but never wanted to be tied to one person. I had good role models, my parents have been married for over 30 years. Grandparents married for about 50 years, etc. But for me and...

The "N" Word

BourderHouse @BourderHouse (749) • Philippines 9 Mar 07

Gigglygrrl I personally could never nor have ever used the term. I don't approve of the use of any racial slurs. But I do not feel that banning words is the right step. I understand certain communities wanting to "take back and reappropriate" certain terms such as this...

Breathatarian.Can anyone train his body to live without food?

polachicago @polachicago (18716) • United States 4 Mar 07

Most conscious people are vegetarian, vegan, raw foodist, fruitarian or frugavorist; and a few are breathatarian. Breathatarians do not believe in the consumption of food at all. They believe in absorbing nutrients from the sun,...

Gigglygrrl I watched a very dark but extremely funny show called Starved on FX. They talked about these Breathatarians and actually made an episode about them. It was hysterical! People, animals, etc need food. I do not buy into this at all. But it made for hilarious...

Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks - Whom Do You Prefer?

Geoas @ashjoe76 (1422) • India 8 Feb 07

Tom Cruise the action hero of MIs and the sweet chocolate face of Jerry Maguire and Tom Hanks the character hero of many movies like Philadelphia and even the dejected existentialist in Caste Away, who is your preference?

Gigglygrrl While I loved risky Business when it came out and I liked Jerry Magire, I LOATHE Tom Cruise. After that interview with Matt Lauer and all his Scientology bs, I just can't stand him and refuse to see or pay for another movie he is in. I LOVE Tom Hanks. I think...

How old were you as a kid when you had your first alcoholic drink?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 2 Mar 07

I'm not asking to see who's 'the coolest" or anything like that. I'm curious as a mother of 3 teens. I know I drank at an early stage, simply because at 14 I was being mistaken as a 20 something. I used to actually buy booze for...

Gigglygrrl I was 11. My girlfriend's dad had a huge bar in their basement with lots of yummy liquors. We tried a swig of just about everything. But I started drinking socially in high school at parties in 9th grade. I also looked older and was able to buy alcohol and get...

Gigglygrrl I was a gymnast and a diver in high school. I started lifting weights when I was 11 years old and I wouldn't suggest it to any other girl. And if I had had girls instead of boys I would not have let them start lifting so early. I was obsessed to the point of...

4 responses

Gigglygrrl When I was in high school I would do close to 1000 sit-ups (various kinds) and 200 push-ups everyday. It was quite obsessive. I bet 200 of varying kinds will flatten you out. Unless you have the mom-pouch. That sometimes is only cured with a tummy tuck!

Would you buy your child a car when they learn to drive?

Lyrica @Lyrica (127) • Canada 2 Mar 07
