Well, I had my "weigh-and-measure" day at Curves...and in one month's time, I've lost a foot! (no, wait, let me rephrase that...) I've lost a total of twelve inches over my various body measurements! I had a doctor's appointment today, and since the beginning of December, I've lost 24...

I became Vegan for Lent. I was diagnosed diabetic in December, and I also have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I knew I had to take charge of my health, and from the research I've done online, I discovered that a Vegan diet can have a tremendous positive effect, not only on blood...

The door was left open, and he got out. This is the third night he's been gone, and I really miss him. This is foolish, I know. We have four cats. But this one is MINE. My kids gave him to me as a Valentine gift a couple of years ago. He bites HARD, loves to play, and he sleeps at the...

My husband went Christmas shopping alone the other night, and came home all excited. He motioned me into the bedroom, and whispered that he had bought our son a gift. He showed me the receipt. He bought our son a rifle. I was speechless. I detest guns of all kinds, however, my husband...

Anyone here ever fixed a vegetarian Thanksgiving? My daughter, her fiance, and his family are all vegetarians. And they will be sharing the table with us tomorrow. Since my daughter decided to become a vegetarian several years ago, I have stuffed a pumpkin for her. I plan on doing that...

What do you plan on saying? Peace, ~VOW

Okay, I have posted the sign-up sheet! I'm bringing garlic mashed potatoes!! Peace, ~VOW

I was five months' pregnant with my son. This baby was very planned, very wanted, and very loved. A medication I had been taking for two years and understood to be safe could have caused problems with his development, and I lived with that fear in the back of my mind. My husband was stationed...

A Christian missionary who, after delivering the good news to a pagan people, was asked, "If we did not know about Christ and Heaven, would we go to Hell?" The minister thought for a moment and said "No, not if you did not know." "Then why did you tell us?" Peace, ~VOW

Have you ever said to your child, "I'm sorry?" Have you ever admitted you were wrong? I've done it. I firmly believe in it. Some people feel that a parent weakens his or her authority by apologizing. I feel just the opposite. If I confess to my child that I have made a mistake, I think...

Am I terribly old-fashioned? I was raised that before you go out in public, you make sure you are clean and decent. I do understand that 7-year-old boys are rarely clean, and that 17-year-old boys with their droopy-drawers fashion are rarely decent, but I don't understand the parent who will...

With your checkbook? As a parent, I'm constantly moving my money around from one place to another. First the bills get paid. Then the kids need stuff. I think my last pair of new shoes was three years ago. The car conks out. The cat gets sick. My son started orthodontia. At the end of...

It's official, he's actually shaving now. He's got his driver's permit, he's a senior in high school, you'd think I'd have figured out he's growing up, but the razor just kinda did it to me. WHERE did my little boy go? Peace and sighs, ~VOW

When I was a kid (a hundred years ago), Halloween was fun. Most costumes were store-bought, made from a cheapie rayon fabric that tied in the back and included a flimsy plastic mask with holes for the eyes and an elastic band to keep it on the head. We ran from house to house, collected far...

Let's get it defined, first. The Universe was created by a humongous explosion, scattering energy and matter. The Bang was the source for all energy and matter presently contained in the Universe. How does that sound? Peace, ~VOW

Cold season is upon us, and soon parents will be lining up at the pharmacies to fill their prescriptions for bottles of pink bubblegum medicine. How do you cope? Peace be with you, ~VOW
