Karen, I think my mom still has pain from a mammogram years ago. I'll continue to hope for you. Let us know when you go in and all that. Not doing as well today, but I know I do at least a little...

Susie, My GI issues are second to none (probably not true, but I'll say it for effect) and I feel like I'm going to get an ulcer. I've recently said, "You can't please everyone and even if you could,...

Tim Tam, 1. I forget if I told you me not wanting a child might be a deal breaker for her. Fine, good. I may not be able. I'm 40 and I'm tired. 2. I feel for the child, but he's ultimately not my...
