Do you think it's ok to try to sleep away our depression?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 1 Feb 08

It's a month Feb. 2 that my Mom passed away and I'm still having such a bad time with it. Even my psych meds aren't helping me and one of them has been doubled just to help me through this time. All this crying is really taking...

Remembering Suzanne Pleshette

fec139 @fec139 (810) • United States 20 Jan 08

Anyone who watched TV in the 80s or went to the movies in the 50s or 60s will remember Suzanne Pleshette. She died yesterday of respiratory failure as a result of a long battle with lung cancer. She will be most fondly remembered...

bubblywriter Suzanne Pleshette was a phenomenal actress, she performed with such ease. I, too, will remember her most for her role on the Bob Newhart show. Although, she lost her husband in 2006 it was wonderful that she could rekindle her romance with Tom Poston from...

Your Favorite Book

jaysmom0703 @jaysmom0703 (45) • United States 5 Jan 08

I just read the greatest book. Fortune's Rocks by Anita Shreve was a real page turner. I stayed up until 2am one morning trying to finish it. It is based in the early 1900's so it is not a modern read but it was still awesome. The...

bubblywriter Different shades of blue would look good on you or a deep red with a blue undertone. Deep rich colours would compliment your complexion, ie. a dusky rose as opposed to a soft, pastel pink. Gold would be striking, but stay away from yellow. Don't wear any...

Pet heaven?

northwoods @northwoods (86) • United States 29 Dec 07

Do you believe in pets going to heaven? Where is it? Will we see them when we get there? What pets can go - and will all pets be in the same 'heaven'? I believe, but don't know if I am in the minority?!

bubblywriter There is definitely a pet heaven. The bible states that all creatures will be welcomed in heaven. There is no more gentle creature than a loving pet. I have no doubt we will see them as well as those we love someday in heaven.

If pizza is left out overnite ....would you eat it??

pimpsterque999 @pimpsterque999 (227) • United States 29 Dec 07

From what i understand pizza is the only thing that can be left out for days and still be eaten with no bacteria building on it because of the acid in the tomato. Do you agree or is this fiction?

bubblywriter Do not take the risk. The cheese in pizza actually draws bacteria and the acid in the tomato will not keep that from happening. Definitely, put it away within two hours of eating, that is the recommended period of time for leaving anything previously cooked on...

Sinus issues and the tricks to help them

pimpsterque999 @pimpsterque999 (227) • United States 29 Dec 07

Did you know that you can massage ur face and feet and break up the stuff that causes sinus infections. Place a warm or hot towel on your face it will help to "melt" the drainage. A massage will help break the stuff up and you can...

bubblywriter I've been inundated with miserable sinus and allergy problems for years. You're right a hot towel does work. Inhaling steam and using a saline spray is helpful. However, I don't like the saline washes, they are too powerful and messy.

bubblywriter I love Chuck, this show is highly entertaining with ribald humour. I try not to miss it, escapism at its best. A program different from the norm espionage with a modern twist. We need more television shows with a blending of fun, romance and intrigue.
