Sinuses, Why do they have to hurt so much? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I suffer from chronic sinus pain. It seems like any change in whether causes them to go crazy. If it stays warm, I'm fine. Turns cold suddenly, pain! It stays cold, fine. Sudden warm up, pain! Sometimes they act up for no apparent reason. I even tend to get a wicked sinus infection at least once a year. Thought I was going to die (and kind of wanted to) one time when I had a sinus infection paired with a double ear infection. I usually get a dull pain in above my eyes, under e

Reply to Christina Applegate Should Have to Serve in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The judge didn't dismiss her for that so far and plenty of other public figures have been jurors. What does being a public figure have to do with whether or not you can be a juror? Are you saying they should dismiss her?

Thanks OccultPizza. My 3yr old is a busy boy and drives me crazy while his brother is in school. It might be a cheap, easy way of occupying him one of these afternoons.

Reply to McDONALD'S BAD SERVICE in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

Put the crappy job aside, people seem to forget the golden rule of treating others as they would like to be treated. I have to keep this in mind at all times as a parent of small children and point out those who are behaving badly as examples of what not to do. Everyone has bad days but that never excuses treating an innocent bystander badly. When it is treating a customer, employee or even a child, you need to put yourself in that other person's sh

Christina Applegate Should Have to Serve in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Today I was flipping through the news channels and saw a blurb about how Christina Applegate was chosen to serve on the Richard Blake trial. She hasn't convinced the judge so far that she should be released from serving as a juror but is going to site her busy film schedule as a reason to be excused. If I find out this worked for her I am going to be outraged! I served on a murder trial in Dec 2002. There was a surgeon on the jury that tried to site his busy schedule (of saving lives

One more fun thing to do when bored: Read funny posts on JoeUser.com ;) I found this LOL hilarious! I rarely have the time or energy for boredom since I have two small boys. They have a way of keeping things interesting :) I think you should submit ideas to SNL. I could imagine skits based on some of these. Thanks for the laughs!

Nope, still not buying it. He could accomplish the same by playing one of his videos for the infant. No need to have them in harms way.

Reply to Steve Irwin Crocodile Man in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Young child, yes. Newborn, his baby was only a couple months old, no. An infant that age can not learn to do anything with its body at that age. It might learn to recognize sounds or shapes but that is about it. I know a lot about child development. A newborn had no place near an animal of any kind. I simply won't be convinced of that no matter what. A newborn baby can hardly see. It can't control its body. How is it going to learn abo

Forums vs blogs in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Perhaps I am the only one but I was posting articles to the Forum not realizing that it didn't post to my blogs. I now realize that when you post an article to your blog, you can chose to display it in forums as well. This isn't an option vice versa. I guess my rating has been slipping since I didn't realize this. I was enjoying the forums so much that I was spending any time on JoeUser home. I guess I wll just have to come up with some new articles to post to my blog and quit posti

One more thing, if you have no fear of any animal, you are either ignorant or crazy. Bad things happen when people get over confident around dangerous animals. A certain amount of fear will keep you alive. Even Steve Irwin admits he gets scared, heart racing, around some venomous snakes. He almost got blinded by a cobra's spray one time.

I like Steve Irwin a lot. As a parent, I thought his explaination of this being an example of teaching his kids what is in their back yard was just plain crazy. You can't teach a newborn anything ! He had meat dangling in one hand and baby/meat in the other. He has had tangles with crocs before. I am just wondering why a parent would put an infant in any unneccessary danger. Yes, kids are in danger all the time. All the more reason to not add t

Stevendedalus, put on a pair of heels and tell me how beneficial they are to your circulation. Heels are for looks and looks alone. Have you ever noticed at wedding receptions you see women taking their heels off during the evening. They hurt! I like to look good but I prefer to fell good. I will wear heels if I know I won't be on my feet much. The women in the pictures were real, every day pregnant ladies. They looked (a couple of them anyway) like their feet were about to burst

Fast Food Industry's Attempt at Attracting Dieters in Current Events JoeUser Forums

As an overwieght person, I am always intrigued by the latest food options out there. I am interested in the Atkin's friendly sandwiches at Subway. My husband said they are good. I am just wondering how good they are for you. Then there is McD's attempt at giving people suggestions on how to save calories when ordering meals there. One of the suggestions was to get a Big Mac without the special sauce. That may save you calories but if you are on a

I would say the costume theme is too much but I bet the karaoke would be fun. BTW, Chicks with Balls is hysterical! I love it! If you go up to sing, just have fun. As the old saying goes "sing as if noone is listening." If eveyone is drunk, they, and possibly you, won't remember it anyway
