I posted that pic (the baby one) in SNS!

I second the light box...check amazon, there's a number of different options, at a variety of prices, I think there's even some that even can be set to go on at a certain point and increase to full capacity to mimic the effects of sunrise. The one thing with them is you do need to use them daily, at the same time,…

Try being up all night...and morning.... and finally taking the dog for a 3 mile run/walk... and then showering and trying to take a nap.... and still being unable to get a single second's sleep. Try being at the point where you are taking an entire package of the strongest OTC sleeping pill just to sleep eight hours.…

There's a thread from a women here who recently left her abusive ex. Read it. I don't know what advice to give, except to consider that the longer you stay... the more time of your life you will have wasted on him.

I'm so sorry. I've been through something a bit similar, and I'm amazing that you already have that perspective. We weren't engaged, but had discussed a timeline for when we were getting married, talking rings and wedding plans... and right before a move ( at least a shorter distance) I found out he cheated...and then…

It is a newly-discovered South American mammal called the olinguito.

Aww I'm sorry. I know how hard that is. I felt the same way about my doggy—he was in a couple different homes before he ended up with me at around 7-8, and I had to put him down a few months ago when he was at 11-12. Something friends that have told me (that I now in turn try to tell other friends going through the…

I was a late bloomer, as was a lot of my friends... The first relationship I had was when I was 20, but a lot of it was long-distance. And I didn't have my next relationship until I was 28. I have a lot of friends that never really dated, and then in the mid-to-late twenties, most of them ended up meeting someone,…

I've been single about a year and two months. Before my last relationship, I had been single for a very long time—like 8 years, and I really thought 100% that he was "the one." I just can't foresee really having that with anyone else again.

Sometimes it just takes time to meet the right people you click with me...In college, I ended up meeting some of my closest friends through a service organization. I know sometimes it's hard to follow the advice of "keep joining clubs," but try to find things that you are really interested in, and that's where you'll…

Hmmm... I think my morbid curiosity may lead me to briefly check it out...

How is the new Bridget Jones book? I heard Mark Darcy is no longer around, and that makes me not want to read it...but I loved the first two (especially the second one!)

I say go for it, but try to take it slowly.

Congratulations on getting out, I know how hard that can be, but I'm glad you were able to do it.

I highly recommend going to a psychiatrist as well as a therapist, as sometimes anti-anxiety meds can really help. As for my therapists, the trick is finding one that you feel like you can click with and talk to. Sometimes it takes a while, and you have to try a few—but it's not worth it trying to keep going with…

I finished a book called 13 Golden Monkeys. It's a fictional account of a true story—about little golden lion tamarins (a small type of monkey) that were born in zoos in the US, but then reintroduced to their natural habitat in Brazil. It's cool, because it tells a fascinating true story, but goes into the monkeys…

I haven't had a dog that big (my biggest was 75 lbs), but my advice would be to take him to obedience lessons, and really work hard at reinforcing it with him on your walks so you can maintain control.

I hope you are able to move soon! Sounds like your roommate is being a major jerk, and it's so scary once you've been broken into... good luck on getting out as soon as possible!

If you like historical fiction, I recommend Philippa Gregory's Cousins' War books (about the war of the roses). I've read the first three so far, and I've really like them (and the Starz series the White Queen is based on the several of them). I really like that each book is from the point of view of a different…
