Your boyfriend sounds so incredibly sweet.

I saw it yesterday. It was far and away better than the first one, which I thought was rather flat. I cried, I cheered, I clenched. It was so good. I hope you enjoy it as much I did.

I do judge you as being someone with good taste of quality entertainment just like myself! :) The Honey Boo Boo family may not be one of quality refinement and poise like the Kardashians, but they do give more than their 10% back to their community with food drives and what not all year round, and they are quite…

I vividly remember when he died, and it, for some reason, profoundly affected me. I was newly married myself, and about the same age as they were. I admit to buying her auto-biography and reading it. It was a fascinating glimpse into the training regimen of an Olympic athlete, much less a Soviet-era one.

Viktor Petrenko had it all—artistry, jumps, poise, personality—and he was known to have a good heart off the ice as well, helping people who needed it. I used to watch figure skating back in the late 80's and early 90's, but at some point it became all about the jumps, jumps, jumps, and it just got boring to me, so I…

I second the goretex recommendation. If it's not raining in Norway, it's snowing in Norway. What's that saying, "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes?"

I never knew what that fur ruff thing was for until I got caught in a pretty big snow storm in Norway where I live. And wow, did it do its job keeping the snow out of my face. I was glad to have it. This coat keeps me warm when nothing else will. I love it. I can wear a light sweater on top, but on bottom I will wear…

Both my husband and I have been in therapy together and separately. And one thing my therapist told me that really stuck with me is that it's important that I learn how to communicate my feelings to my partner, that I learn to figure out how I'm feeling and that I learn how to relay those feelings to my partner. Also,…

I like the way you live your life, and I endorse this comment!

They only studied 15 people in that sample.

It was such a huge deal for us kids to get to go to the 6 Flags amusement park with our friends. The time came when I went with my friend without my younger brother. I had to come home before dark. My younger brother went and got to stay well past dark time. When I questioned my mother on this, she said, "Well, little…

You're welcome! The Life vitamin stores sells a good selection of vitamins. There's a good nordic brand called Nordic Naturals that has a good vitamin D. Here is a link to it at the Vitamin Shoppe, but I think they sell it in Sweden, too. Don't get that Moeller's stuff that you can buy at the grocery store. The Nordic…

Get one of those alarm clocks that wakes you up using a light. They have them at Elkjøp, Claus Olsen, and places like that. A good light box, Philips has them, would be a good investment for you, too. You could ask your fastlegge which one he/she recommends. Mine recommended one for me. I think she told me to get one…

My blood tests said I have B deficiency. But when I take extra B vitamins, I get strange and very vivid dreams, like I'm awake all night. I just can't take extra B vitamins. The side effects are intolerable.

Once we get older, though, around age 40, we stop being able to take in vitamin D through our skin as well as when we are younger, and by age 70 we can't do it at all. At least, that's what my doc told me.

Best series finale ever. End of discussion. I thought so then and I still think so now. Nothing else comes close.

Just FYI, I'm from Texas, so I had to totally re-stock my wardrobe when I moved to Norway. You'll need a good, long woolen scarf. I use ear muffs called 180s that are really nice—they make some that have built-in earphones, too. You'll need some sweaters that are good—North Face makes some little polartec ones that…

No one has mentioned my love, Icebugs.

Where in Norway are you going to be living? I live in Oslo. Will you be using public transportation? If so, you'll be outside walking a lot, so I recommend getting something that is windproof and comes down below your butt, maybe mid-thigh. Canada Goose is very good. You'll need a hood, too. I use mittens in the…

I'd never given birth before and got a copper IUD but had to have it taken out due to complications and pain. I have heard that someone makes a smaller IUD for women who have never given birth and who have a smaller uterus, but I don't recall the name of it. You might ask your gynecologist about that one. Good luck! I…
