Show how big a geek you are! SciFi trivia questions:

npkeith @npkeith (27) • United States 25 Jun 08

The important thing here is not that the questions be hard, but that they show how big an SF geek you are. Here's your starter: What was Zefram Cochran listening to when he made the first warp flight? Answer (if you can),...

what would have worked?

bgerig @bgerig (1258) • United States 2 Apr 07

With Studio 60 apparently on permanent hiatus, what do you think would have made the show work? successful? I thought it had a good cast, very good writing. It was a very large, spectacular drama...and they take a while to gain a...

npkeith I don't know what would have worked. I too loved the Bradley Whitford / Matthew Perry chemistry (from back when Matthew showed up for a short arc on West Wing). The fast-paced dialog is classic Sorkin, and the main reason I watch his stuff. Who knows - Fox...

O.K. I know this is going to sound bad

lvmybz @lvmybz (125) • United States 12 Mar 07

I love my son, he really brings such joy into my life. Both my boys do. Yet sometimes, my autistic son really gets to me. I feel horrible for having these feelings, like I should just love and accept him no matter what. Well of...

npkeith I second the comment about "The Out-Of-Sync Child." Another one that might be useful is "The Explosive Child" (I can't remember the author). It is primarily aimed at NT or ADD kids, rather than those on the spectrum, but it still has a lot of points that apply...

npkeith I like my LG VX8300. With the data cable and BitPim I can back things up, add and remove pictures, video MP3s and ringers, and it isn't too hard to work. The camera's not bad either.

keng_ganda @keng_ganda (74) • Philippines 29 Mar 07

Metformine is a commonly known med for diabetics but my obgyne prescribed it to me. Particulary Euform Retard 850mg. Was anybody ever under this medication? Thanks!

npkeith Metformin is a diabetic medication, but it turns out that part of the problem with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is insulin resistance. That is what makes women with PCOS tend to gain weight, especially around the waist. They are also at increased risk...

nurses of today

kendimann @kendimann (28) • Hong Kong 1 Mar 07

do you think that nurses of today go into nursing because they wanted to serve and help the people or is it just because of the money and its demand worldwide?

npkeith Speaking as a nurse for 14 years and a nurse practitioner for 7, you'd have to be a fool to go into nursing for the money. If you work enough overtime to have the money, you don't have time to spend it. Job security - sure. There will alway be an need for...

ABA Therapy

redstrawberry113 @redstrawberry113 (102) • United States 14 Mar 07

Do any of your children use ABA therapy? If so, what does it entail and is it working for you? My daughter will be starting it soon and I would like some input from other parents.

npkeith I hate to be a nay-sayer, but I feel that ABA is of limited use at best. ABA, as its name implies, looks at, and treats, behaviors. If you can sit in the chair for 5 minutes, I'll give you a cookie. That is all well and good for things like a school setting,...

DarlingGirl @DarlingGirl (745) • United States 18 Mar 07

If you saw the coming attractions, you heard Sam utter, "Yes, that's right, we're all Cylons!" Personally I think it's just a sarcastic remark. So what do you think, is Rosyln's cancer really back? Is that why she's been...
