What's up with clothes these days? Is it me? Or is fashion geared to either juniors or skinny women? Is there nothing in between for women with fashion sense that don't yet fit in to the Alfred Dunner crowd but have been long past...

lifeistrulyshort I saw on Oprah recently about a "choking game" kids play to pass out and feel high. Maybe it was that. Was he alone? The rope marks could have been from a previous try at that. Just a thought. He also could have been trying to get someone's attention for some...

I am trying to buy organic as much as I can, not just for food but for beauty items. I have found a shampoo that I like but I can't find a conditioner that doesn't make my hair feel dry. It's long and it's colored and I know it...

lifeistrulyshort Try Aveda products, but go to the store or salon and ask for specific recommendations for your condition. They make several products and some might not be as moisturizing as others. My favorite is Damage Remedy.

My Doctor placed me on Lexapro to deal with a lot of stress in my life at the time. He wants to wean me off of it in March. Has anyone ever gone through this? What can I expect?

lifeistrulyshort I don't have rights to copy/paste yet, but I am going through this right now and had some weird withdrawal symptoms: feelings like I was undergoing a mild electric shock in my brain...like it was rebooting or something; whishing sounds...a little anxiety. I...

I was walking my niece to her tae kwon do lesson yesterday afternoon. We have to cross a pretty busy street to get her there. We must have been standing there about 5 - 10 minutes. Cars just zooming on by. None of them slowing...

lifeistrulyshort No, he didn't. He is a semi-retired trucker who now drives for a company called "Truk Rodz" by Jones Performance in Pennsylvania. He was just in MO delivering a custom hood for the Trick My Truck show. They donated a lot of hoods to the show. He actually got...

There are a lot of cicadas here because there are a lot of poplar trees here. They like to sing on poplar trees. Some one are annoyed by their noisy sing. But I love it because it remind me of nature. Occasionally I can catch a...

lifeistrulyshort I like 'em! But in Ohio they start getting loud in August. I don't think they sing all summer here. The thing I don't like about it is that it happens in August, and reminds me that summer is coming to and end...

lifeistrulyshort continuing my comment.... Infidelity is a symptom of problems already there. The other person needs to get over the anger and use the situation to look at the marriage and figure out why it happened. If someone else can turn your head, then something is wrong...

lifeistrulyshort My heart is heavy for you. I was there, just like you. Our relationship was stale for years, and I kept trying to tell him that things needed to change. I suggested counseling, but it fell on deaf ears until I was walking out the door. My kids were 12 and 16,...

lifeistrulyshort Follow your instincts, that's the best advice. She's in the same situation as my daughter was, but we put her in kindergarten early. I don't think it's a good idea to let kids skip grades. It usually catches up with them later. Ask the school guidance...

lifeistrulyshort Good decision in not putting the girls in school "early"! I did that with my older daughter and regretted it. She turned 5 two weeks past the cutoff date for kindergarten and we thought if we put her in early, she could be in the regular classes and do well...
