debbibet28 My daughter was just diagnosed with Tourettes syndrome! How are you dealing with this, it's tearing me apart! Every medication she has tried has made her very sleepy and the last one made her extremly emotional, so emotional that I would tell her to make her...

Do you really take advantage of 24-hour shopping?

thinkingoutloud @thinkingoutloud (6127) • Canada 27 Jan 07

Where I live, we don't have 24-hour shopping. The latest the stores stay open is 10PM (or possibly 11PM) and that is *only* for grocery stores. Department or retail stores are never open later than 9PM and, on weekends, they...

debbibet28 I love the 24 hour shopping. When my hubby is home and I need some time away, that's when I do my grocery shopping! It's great, the stores are quiet and thats usually when the shelves are being stocked so they are never out of anything. The sales people are...

Do you think that healthier foods in schools is a good idea?

Willowlady @Willowlady (10657) • United States 27 Jan 07

In my local paper a Columbus, New Jersey school is saying no to junk food in their school cafeterias. Trays of carrot and celery sticks with low fat ranch dip and orange slices along side beef hotdogs with whole wheat buns. This...

debbibet28 I think healthy lunches is the best idea yet. It teaches kids to stay healthy and to take care of themselves. Hotdogs are never healthy, consider the salt content and the chemicals used to make them. Baking is good, but you have to consider what they are...

debbibet28 The best way to do this is to teach your child French first and then teach them english. Studies show, the earlier that you teach a child a foreign language the easier it is for them. Don't worry about speaking both in front of the child, it's not confusing,...

What do you think the church should do with priests who have molested?

ShadyGrove @ShadyGrove (996) • United States 27 Jan 07

I am Catholic and have seen several church's close in my area due to poor financial status -- I know that much money has been spent in "pay-offs" to families of children who have been molested by local priests. What do you...

debbibet28 I think moving the priests, just spreads the problem. Now they have access to a whole new group of children to abuse. They should have to go to court like any other person. They are not above any other normal human being and should never think that they...

How did having a baby change your life?

fieryfrost @fieryfrost (316) • Philippines 27 Jan 07

debbibet28 First congrats! A child will change your life completly. In my opinion it changes more and more as the child becomes older. When my son was an infant we took him everywhere, there were only slight changes to my schedule. (He was and still is an excellent...

Doctor's negligence or Mother's mistake?

rallymercado @rallymercado (307) • Philippines 20 Jan 07

debbibet28 I have to say this is the doctors mistake. The mother did the right thing by taking the child to the hospital. I'm a mother of two and you would not take your child to the hospital for just the flu, she must have felt it was something more. I have been...

Anti-Depressants Do They Work For You?

Brian @wolfie34 (26770) • United Kingdom 6 Jan 07

When I was diagnosed as having depression back in 2003 I was given different courses of anti-depressants, all of which gave me bad side-affects, like nightmares, sweating, recalling past events, flashbacks, weight gain and bad...

debbibet28 I think anti-depressents aren't for everyone. I think they work to numb the depression or should I say numb the person, but the problem is still there. My biggest concern is the long term side effects of the medications, some are pretty nasty. I took an...

debbibet28 That's funny, I've only seen and performed the Nutcracker and for an ex-dancer that's pretty sad! The Nutcraker is a wonderful story of a young girl, whose parents have a x-mas party. The girl falls asleep and dreams of the Nutcraker, where there are mice,...
