margoosey From what i understood from my doctor is: The brain is not naturally producing enough of (one/or more) of the neurotransmitter like serotonin, dopamine, norrepinephrine, etc., which changes your emotions, etc.

margoosey I know sometimes my mind just wont stop thinking, but that's not always true. I've tried all the home remedies and RX meds -- nothing seems to help. It's miserable laying there all night long watching the clock.

I'm interested in how many people follow through with their new year resolution. I find it very easy for the first few months of the year then later on it overcomes me.

margoosey You can go to a health food store and buy some peppermint oil. Put a few drops in each room of your house - all the mice will leave and they won't come back around. They cannot stand the smell. I live out in the country where mice was a problem until I...

Do you think women should stay at home or work equally to men?

margoosey I think if a woman doesn't have small children -- she probably needs to work. It helps self-esteem; makes them feel useful and probably keeps a lot of them out of trouble. Not only that, nowdays everything is so expensive -- it's very hard to make ends meet if...

margoosey Triece, I know excately what you are talking about. I have six kids -- all within a year or two apart (they are grown now) all had the same dad. Out of six kids, he never once changed a diaper, fixed a bottle or gave one a bath. Everywhere I went I had to take...

They say age is an issue of mind over matter and that if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. How about you -- are you age-conscious? What can you say about this?

margoosey I think everyone is probably a little age-conscious at one time or another. I don't dwell on my age, but every now & then it does hit me "oh goodness I am getting old", but that thought doesn't last long. I am pretty happy with myself and the way I look for my...
