happymom My daughter has recently been getting these hives, that swell into welts as she itches them. The doctor called this dermagraphism or something like that. He prescribed zyrtec, an antihistamine-that doesn't keep you from being able to drive. And also elocon...

happymom What is a child car parking space...I live in Michigan and have never seen any special spots for cars with children...Occasionally I spot a spot for pregnant women, but that's it. I'd love to be able to park up close when I'm shopping with my kids. Where do...

Being the only un-depressed one in my family is odd

hassanchop @hassanchop (820) • United States 14 Jan 07

Baiting the Hook or Touching the Fish

blogyourself @blogyourself (1577) • United States 12 Jan 07

I know when most girls go fishing they refuse to bait the hook. I have no problem with that, no matter what kind of bait we are using. My problem is that when I actually do catch a fish, I refuse to touch it. Someone else...

happymom I think I'd prefer freshwater fishing...I've never been saltwater fishing, though I've been on the ocean...It kind of scares me to think about what I might catch, like a shark---too scary for me...It's an accomplishment for me to be able to handle a pike, I...

How well do those robot vacuum cleaners work?

Robert Centauro @ourlot (982) 18 Oct 17

Carrie Underwood: Is she too Skinny?

blogyourself @blogyourself (1577) • United States 11 Jan 07

I'm kind of sad. When Carrie Underwood won American Idol she was healthy looking girl. Not fat, and not too skinny. I thought she was the perfect size. Now, she is so thin. I think she is too thin. What do you think?
