For Women -- Are you the type of person that thinks they are fat?

bluemestizo @bluemestizo (429) • United States 19 Mar 07

I've seen slim women that that complain that they look fat all the time. Big time issues of insecurities. I just don't see any logic for a woman that is about 100 lbs or even 110 lbs that want to lose weight because they think...

navkat I don't know about "most women," but I speak from personal experience when I say that some days, no matter how pretty people think you look, you just FEEL fat and ugly. I used to extraordinarily thin. After I had my son three years ago, I put on a few...

Anyone heard of Asperger's?

bjone6 @bjone6 (348) • United States 11 Mar 07

I just finished reading Born on a Blue Day about a guy with Asperger's. It's really interesting. People with Asperger's have a hard time socializing with other people, but they are really smart.

navkat I live with a man who has Asperger's syndrome. Essentially, he's a brilliant mind, but he has a difficult time understanding social cues. He can't "sense" how people are feeling and so he goes through social situations in his life like a bull in a china...

Have YOU ever called 911??

greengal @greengal (4286) • United States 18 Mar 07

A few days back it was raining cats and dogs here in Dallas and of course there were many emergencies. The whole day I could hear emergency vehicle sirens. It got me thinking, who would have been the good soul who called 911 and...

Insurance companies don't cover medication to quit!

quatelmon @quatelmon (955) • United States 20 Feb 07

I dropped off my prescription for Chantix today, all ready to quit. I gave them my insurance information, and they told me that Chantix and other such drugs are NOT covered by insurance! I find this unbelievable! I mean, don't...

navkat First of all: congrats on trying to quit! I agree that insurance companies have a responsibility to pony up and help you with the costs. They would have to cover you just the same if you were a drug addict and needed rehab, and the long-term savings for...

Why are diamonds a girl's best friend?

quatelmon @quatelmon (955) • United States 14 Mar 07

Why is everyone so crazy over diamonds? Personally, I don't like diamonds as a stone very much. I would rather have a rarer stone, or at least something more beautiful. To me, diamonds are just a clear stone, and there has been a...

navkat You know, I used to value money and creature comforts above a lot of other things in life, so I can empathise with you. On the other hand, I've had to go through some hard times and learn some hard lessons. I've come to learn that a person can get used to...
