Smoke is the cat that I am making friends with, and hope to have as an indoor cat one day. I have been feeding him for over six years now. The camera angle is off, but here he is.

I always found him to be kind of creepy; not sure why.

I don't remember what words were used but when I worked for Yar-Craft, a fiberglass boat company, as my second full-time job, they wanted to run a second shift to fill some orders but couldn't find another chopper operator who they were satisfied with, so I worked double shifts for a couple of...

No one here should feel as if they have to have the answers to anyone's problem. We care, and I trust that is true. Because we care, we might offer suggestions from our own lives, experiences, or readings, and these suggestions may or may not be valid. That's the best we can do, and I sense that...

I would need something to put peanut butter on.

Oh yes, when I did the Atkins Diet many years ago, before they changed it, I found that it is quite possible to crave bread. Oddly enough, potato chips have never been something that I ate a lot of, and more for convenience than anything else, but if I am dieting for any period of time, I often...

Feel free to go beyond the OP question if you'd like. For example, what are your favorite soft drinks? For me, it was Diet Mozie and Vernor's.

Very true, but I used more words. ;)

We've had a discussion about the largely regional differences in what we call it, so we don't need to repeat that here, but I'm interested in how much of it we're still drinking in the latter stages of adulthood. I drank a fair amount of it as a child because, while candy was in relatively...

For me, that would be Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream. For the past couple of years, I have been pretty good about eating ice cream seldomly, although I love it. I like several other flavors as well, but vanilla has always been my favorite. Call me a racist if you must.

Since it has come up in a few different threads here, occasionally with some misunderstanding, I would like to clarify what I mean when I suggest that we question our doctors or that we not necessarily accept their recommendations as the last word, I don't mean that we should disregard our...

There are medications (antidepressants, benzodiazepines, beta blockers), therapeutic approaches cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, interpersonal therapy), relaxation techniques (deep breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, mindfulness-based stress reduction)...

I don't think I'll be able to make it to the funeral.

I have a volunteer kiwi that decided to grow in our vegetable garden. It grows as high as whatever structure I put up for it each year, generally climbing on the stalks from its last year's growth. It doesn't bear fruit because there is only one plant. I have bought three other kiwi plants, but...

When I was a child, my mom did not refrigerate our eggs, but we had our own chickens, and there were seven people in the family, so it wasn't like an egg needed to last weeks. The next day, there would be fresh eggs. Now, I do keep eggs in the refrigerator, but I'm not sure that they need to be...

I disagree strongly with the idea that health and longevity are things that we have no control over. While it is true that doing all of the right things, if we could even figure out what they were, will not guarantee us a long, healthy life, it will do far more towards that end than doing all...
