Love the show! But does anyone know why they will be airing repeats the whole month of December? Kind of sucks, doesn't it?  I hate that.

I caught the last 10 minutes of it... Oh well, I can live until next week....It'll all be re-hashed.  

I missed the last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy last night and thought they would rerun it tonight like they usually do, but it wasn't on. So, will someone please let me know what happened? I turned to it to see Christina freaking out and Meredith cutting her wedding dress off of her, but I have no idea why this was happening! What happened to the wedding?? Thanks in advance!

George and Izzy were never pronounced dead so by next season they could be saved.  They were only half way to heaven.  What a cliff hanger.

This tests what you retain when shown something for brief time. The web site instructions are in Japanese, so read below!

1. Touch 'start'
2. Wait for countdown... 3, 2, 1.
3. Memorize the number's position on the screen, and then click the circles in order from the smallest number to the biggest number.
4. At the end of game, the computer will tell you the age of your brain.

My DD is away at college.  She is on BCPs and I don't know the brand.  She has irregular bleeding and all sorts of problems and no, I don't think she levels with the clinic where she is seen on campus. 

She started her period yesterday before we took her back after a weekend home.  Today, she tells me she doesn't feel like she is in her body, spacy and weird.  She is flowing heavily.  I can't pay her ER bill and I am not so sure we are quite there yet.

I told her to drink lots of water, not to take a hot shower because that will dilate her vessels, start the next pack of pills to see if that will stop it (which is safe to do) and most all, GET TO BED AND SLEEP.

Any other suggestions? She is only 20 and she didn't start until she was 15.  She has been on and off of pills and they all seem to do this.  I could never take them for the same reasons and I want her off them when she is home for the summer because this is just stupid and scary.  She is 4 hours away and I can't get to her easily....oh help!

Thanks so much.

To those of you that replied regarding my sister's 4-year-old son having a brain tumor, Thank you. 

Although there was a case here where a woman, after her child died, stole over a million from her employer and lost it through compulsive gambling and then committed suicide.  In her case, she had always been an upstanding member of the community and had no prior history of gambling.  Perhaps anger, stress, and grief contributed to temporary insanity and then appalled by what she had done, she killed herself.  Everybody that knew her was just stunned.

What is it about being near 40??  Was having heavy TOM, started BCPs to help, and have now had a continuous TOM for 23 days.  I am completely exhausted by 7:00 every evening.  Does this sound like just female problems or should I ask for an ultrasound to make sure there is nothing really bad going on? 

is 10 now and developed this problem a couple of years ago.  It was not just at night, but anytime she was asleep, napping in my lap or asleep on my pillow snuggled next to my head (not a good way to wake up btw).  It seemed to come as a complete surprise to her, as she woke up during or immediately after urinating, not before.  All of her labs were normal, the only explanation was that it was a hormonal imbalance that occasionally occurs in older female dogs that were spayed at a very early age.  As nearly as I could determine from the records I got from the lady I got her from was that she was about 3-4 months old when she was spayed.  Since dogs can also have unwanted side effects from hormone replacement she was placed on antihistamines which resolved the problem for the most part, but she still gets the late night trip right before bedtime.  Since your dog just started this late in life it may not be from the same thing, but it couldn't hurt, assuming that your dog has been spayed, to consider it as a possible cause if no other explanation is found.  Here is a link to Merck Veterinary Manual online edition page that describes the condition (you may have to cut and paste).

I was always told it kills brain cells.  I always believed that because I thought my ex was walking proof! lol.  Does it really rejuvinate them? I too believe in its usage for medicinal purposes.  Back in the day (waaaaay back) I smoked it once when I had an excruciating toothache (cuz that always happens on weekends when the dentist is closed!) and it relaxed me enough to tolerate the pain.  It was either that or I was going to overdose on Tylenol, Motrin, whatever I could find cuz they weren't working for crap.  I also did it once when I had an earache. (again waaaay back in the day).  It works wonders.  Doesn't take the pain away but makes it tolerable.  I definitely am against using it for recreation.  When my ex was getting high it was like walking on pins and needles around him.  He was wonderful when he was high but when he wasn't he was just the biggest a-hole!

snorting the crack OUR parents didn't teach us about!

Geesh -- why always so quick to blame the parents?  This kid is 14 years old and knew better than to do this.  She chose to do it anyway, just like so many others before her time chose to get up knocked up, strung out on drugs, become an alcoholic, etc. 

Yes, the kid screwed up, but that's what kids do.  Didn't you ever have a friend who stole a car in high school or got caught cheating and ended up expelled?  It's not the end of the world, but spreading it all over the media could very well push this kid over the edge and cause her to hurt herself.  She obviously is looking for attention or affection.  This is certainly not going to help her.
