    Hyperinflated Lungs

    I had Pleurisy as a young adult after a cold. When I would take a deep breath, I would get a sharp pain. I saw a doctor who told me I just had to wait for it to get better. It slowly did get better, a few weeks later.

    Declining Dad

    Do you know what is causing the falls? I recently had to have a talk with my husband's doctors because he just recently started falling. He stands up after lying in his recliner (or bed), starts walking and blacks out. Turns out his blood pressure drops when he stands up. So now he has to...

    Cruise cabin-inside or balcony?

    Do they still allow smoking on the balconies? That completely ruined our last ocean cruise because the three people in the cabin beside us smoked liked chimneys and we could not even open our door without getting the smell in our cabin. They also kept the light on the balcony on all night so...

    Costco Hearing Aids - opinions

    I've had Costco hearing aides for about 8 years and recommend them to my friends. Prior to this I was working with a hearing center here. Costco was half the cost and seems to be just as good, if not better. Costco did tell me that some people with certain issues (I think Cookie Bite hearing...

    Maui

    This is all so very, very sad. I loved Lahaina, and can't believe it's gone. So terrifying for those that lived there. Someone mentioned the fire department earlier. On one of our trips to Hawaii we watched a helicopter working a fire. I don't even remember which island, but it was on the...

    Considering 2 weeks in Ireland and Scotland next year…anyone do a similar trip?

    Giant's Causeway in NI is amazing, as is Newgrange north of Dublin mentioned earlier. Find out if there are any stone Celtic Crosses in the area you will be driving. We stopped on our way back to Dublin from NI to see a site with three crosses, there were also the ruins of two churches and a...

    Rock tumbler

    Pick up a cheap one at Goodwill (or similar thrift shop) and try it first! Very noisy and I don't know anyone who did it more than one or two times.

    Can cats get really bad head injuries from falling?

    Please take your cat to a vet. We can't tell over the internet if your cat has a head injury, but a vet could tell you after an examination.

    Spin-Off of Invitation Thread - Destination Weddings

    We were invited to a DW about 10 years ago. The bride and groom didn't want to go through the hassle of planning a wedding, so decided to let a resort do all the work. We had to book through their travel agent, who would not give us a quote until we provided passport numbers. I wasn't going...

    New Airport

    I'm not local but KC is one of the airports I drive to for flights. I loved how easy and fast it was to get to your gate and get around. Exiting was always super fast. I'm sure the new terminal will not be as easy. I still remember picking someone up after their flight. As I drove in, about 15...

    What items did you inherit a ridiculous amount of?

    She was years and years ago, but had not had a garden for awhile. Still, the few tomato plants she did plant would not have needed 20 or more grocery bags of nylons!

    What items did you inherit a ridiculous amount of?

    Bags and bags of worn ankle height nylons. Don't know why they weren't tossed originally.

    If not for bad luck, there wouldn't be any luck at all( my Shingles story)

    My rash took more than two months to completely go away. I found out that the gel Biofreeze (in the green tube) wasn't as strong as the other types of Biofreeze. It didn't do much for my pain, so I don't recommend the gel. I have read that the gel is safe for kids and that is why it's not as...

    If not for bad luck, there wouldn't be any luck at all( my Shingles story)

    I had shingles earlier this year. I had horrible pain in my back for a week before the rash showed up. I went to a walk up clinic and they took xrays and found nothing. Next day I noticed two small red dots and sent a photo to my doctor. Even with the antiviral he gave me, my rash progressed to...

    My skin hurts **update it's shingles

    I had shingles earlier this year. Found out that Biofreeze was my friend! You can't use it on open sores so wait until after the rash has scabbed over.

    Anyone up watching the lunar eclipse?

    Cloudy here. After reading about it for the past week, I was all psyched to see it, dang!

    -Name something you wished was in your refrigerator

    Loose meat sandwiches from Tastee drive up. It's a childhood favorite but they closed, and I have never found another loose meat sandwich that was comparable.

    Question about speech therapy for 22 month old...

    We thought our son was just babbling all the time at age two. One day I realized he had just asked me a question by the way he looked at me and the inflection at the end of the sentence. We didn't even know he was putting two words together and here he was talking in complete sentences, but we...

    Driving Tour of Scotland

    One of our highlights on our UK trip was the Falkirk Wheel, partly because of the uniqueness of the attraction. The Wheel is a rotating boat lift that moves canal boats. You get to see an engineering marvel and experience a ride in a boat lift. It's around 23 miles from Edinburgh. It was fun to...
