I have heard that diet coke is bad for you because of a chemical sweetener called aspartame; is this true? At the moment I am trying to lose a few pounds so am drinking diet coke but I am a little worried that I could be...

catalady Hi bison...sorry but aspartame is bad news. As the previous poster replied it has all sorts of health indications and there is also some discussions as to whether it is actually addictive or not. The best thing for you would be to drink water if you want to...

catalady Hi Iamdee, I am just the same..I cannot sleep with the light on at all. The strange thing is that if I need to take a nap in the daytime I can sleep with the daylight so our bodies must differentiate between different types of light and mine certainly doesn't...

Are you aware that in whatever you do, no matter how ordinary it may seem to you, affect other people around you? Be it good or bad, you may change other people's life. You may not be aware of it but it's true, what you do affect...

I'm a big fan of the power of the mind. Whatever situation/circumstance you are in, if you take control of your mind, then you are in control of yourself to make it's way through the situation. It's like the whole situation is in...

catalady I do agree with you to some extent blessyme, but I think that as human beings it doesn't always work because there are so many other things to influence us. Unfortunately in stressful situations and circumstances we humans do lose control of our minds and...

catalady In an ideal world we should be able to accept an ex lover as a friend, after all you have been friends as well as lovers but in reality this often doesn't happen as the split was acrimonious and and have often fallen out with your lover causing the split. So...
