With myself as the unintending guinea pig, I found out something very interesting. I usually take Pepcid as a heartburn treatment and am on Ativan for anxiety/panic. The other day, I went to buy Pepcid and drug store was out, so bought Tagamet. Took one, and about an hour later, took my...

Funny, lately a major topic of discussion has been adult children trying to come back to the nest by any means possible. Anyway, Thanksgiving is at my sister's. It's at 4 o'clock. That means I definitely won't be able to drive home in the dark afterwards. So, I asked my mother if I could crash...

OK, I'm a beer and mead/cider expert. I am not a liqueur expert by any means. I have about 3/4 of a bottle of Irish Cream in my fridge. It's a few months old (a neighbor gave it to me for New Year's actually, so 7 mos old.) . I had some of it about a month ago and it was fine. I am wondering...

Just wanted to let parents know that 25% Lidocaine cream is now available without prescription. I found it on Amazon while searching for arthritis rubs. This is basically the same stuff as Emla cream and is for use before injections, blood draws, etc. Many parents have found it helpful with...

Just to let you folks know that our dear friend of many years, Donna723, passed away after a short battle with cancer. I do not have an address to which to send cards at this time. Donna was a long-time member of this board, a good friend, and in general good people. I will miss her.

I know a lot of you have mentioned interest in weighted blankets. After having a couple of psychiatrists recommend that I get one, I finally did. I've slept 2 nights now under a 12lb weighted blanket from a company called Mosaic. I've found it very helpful. I feel "safer" under it. I fall asleep...

He's feeling better today. He's been out from under the bed, eaten a few bites,got some loving. He then had diarrhea all over himself. I sorta got him cleaned up in the tub, wrecked my back, and I think I may have to lioñ clip him once all is said and done Called vet about medications and he said to...

Unfortunately, it appears my information on using e-cigarettes, or more correctly, personal vaporizers as a method of drug delivery was outdated. As it turns out, further study seems to indicate that any substance that can be dissolved in propylene glycol and absorbed through either the...

OK! I am sort of live and let live when it comes to spiders. I tend to capture them and release them outdoors if I can. I am currently living in a ground floor apartment raised about 6" above ground level on a concrete slab. I nearly had a heart attack when I found a 3" long centipede in my...

Well, it's been a while. Thomas and Squeaky have survived nearly 6 weeks in a 11x13 room that Squeaky's wholehearted attempt to eat the resident cat necessitated. I survived spending nights with a couple of stir-crazy cats who were extremely stressed, but doing their best to cope. Thomas got...

When my disability and VA pension first started coming in, I began to put away some of it in savings. When I accumulated a year's living expenses in liquid funds, I decided to start putting money into a 5 year CD for "me money". I had no idea what I'd do with it, except that I knew I wouldn't...

Sister called about 2 hours ago. Spent two hours on the phone with her practically in hysterics. She's having hysterics. Apparently dropping her "barriers" enough to fall in love with her fiancé and actually trust him brought forth a lot of compartmentalized old memories. One of those memories...

Well, I just reamed an "iffy" Facebook Friend a new one. She added me to a closed group consisting of alumnae from the suburban junior high school I attended. I visited the page and found that it consisted of people who had made my life a living hell during my middle school years. Visited...

Well, having come to the decision that I definitely didn't want to continue with the same insurance carrier after the fiasco with my current insurer over the bathroom and hallway flood last month, I spent some time on the 'net and the phone this afternoon and evening getting quotes for auto...

Well...my BFF and her wife sent me detailed still photos and a video of the apartment I applied for this AM. It's gorgeous. This afternoon, the management company called to tell me that the various credit and background checks had passed inspection and I was approved to rent that apartment. I...

Well...things are moving right along. My BFF toured the grounds and the apartment I am looking to rent today and pronounced the grounds lovely, and the apartment, clean and well-laid out, though "too small for her tastes" (she and her wife live in a huge Victorian). I phoned the local police...

...to the family of the G.F.G. kid. Yeppers, the enabling parents are waiting for the kid to talk it over with his girlfriend and will most likely make an offer tomorrow. While the parents were oohing and ahhhing over how cute the place would be once it was fixed up, the 23 year old was literally...

Earlier this afternoon I was on Facebook and saw a status update from my sister who had been, with her boyfriend down in FL attending the wedding of her BFF's daughter. The update announced to all and sundry, that she and her boyfriend had become engaged, with the date set in August and the event to take...

So, I get a call today from a lovely lady in a lake town about 30 miles from here who is VERY interested in buying my trailer and moving it to that town to use it as a summer home. Now, with a little fixing up, it would make a lovely vacation home. So, I describe the work it needs and she's...

I have been intensively researching apartment rentals in the area I wish to move to. In doing so, I have learned a LOT about what prospective lessors look for in tenants. The news isn't good for those of you who's kids have been in trouble with the law. First of all, full criminal background...
