Kelly, I had a hysterectomy at 40 due to fibroids. Without the uterus, the bladder tends to fall. Then, urination becomes much more frequent. I had bladder repair surgery, and it helped with leakage but not with how often urination occurs. If I had it to do over, I would have tried to avoid the hysterectomy. The body needs the support having all your organs provides.

Frank, an underactive thyroid is real. Be careful about being so judgemental. It could turn around and bite you. Your remarks were very unkind. I don’t believe you are in any position to judge unless you too have an underactive thyroid. By the way, have you eateh with Oprah?

Thank you, Jeanot

I remeber the pictures of the Clintons on the Kennedy’s boat. They looked like hillbillies. I think any contact they have had with any Kennedy they have played up to the hilt. They are truly wannabes. It was rich when Carolinie and Teddy endorsed Obama. What Caroline said is so true. Obama is the only person since JFK who inspires us to be a better people and a better nation. And we will! How typical of the Clintons to now bear a grudge against the Kennedys. It proves they have no class, as if we didn’t already have ample proof of that.

The parents are in such a state of denial. I have wondered where Caylee went when her mother supposedly went to work. It has been reported Caylee never talked about being with a nanny. The parents had to know Casey was lieing through her teeth. They knew she stole from them. I think they knew she was a bad mother. I think they know deep down she is a murderer, but can’t bear thinking they have some responsibility in this because they raised her, and didn’t ever reach her. I don’t know that they could have. It must be the worst thing in the world to have a child who is truly a sociopath. Still, if the body does prove to be Caylee’s, I don’t want to hear the parents say someone else must have killed her. It’s time for them to accept reality.

Hey, Georgia, I have married men crazier than I am and I have weighed more than my own Father. I’m still okay on the house thing, but there’s still time for me to screw that up too!

And, I still want to get a wire-haired terrier and name him “Asta”!

If this proves to be Caylee, it strikes me as tragic that Casey didn’t even bother to bury her. I know if a mother can kill a child, it shouldn’t be surprising if she has no regard for the child’s remains, but still, it seems shocking to me. I s ee dogs hit by cars left on the highway for weeks at a time. It’s a heartbreaking concept.

In some ways, I feel really sorry for the grandparents. I think they know Casey is guilty, but because admitting that, perhaps even to each other, would make them feel somewhat responsible forhaving raising a monster. That’s got to be extremely difficult to cope with. With all the denial they have been living in the last many months, they may now just be trying to save face. It’s a very sad situation. I think Casey will be convicted and they will have to learn to live with the fact that sh is a murderer. I think they deserve our pity.

Nick and Nora Charles from the “Thin Man” series. I liked the TV series with Peter Lawford and Phyllis Kirk even more than the original movies. All that witty banter between them was my model for a perfect marriage.

God doesn’t protect us from anything at all, but He does give us the strength to get through everything. You should never buy a house older than yourself; marry anyone crazier than yourself; or weigh more than your own Father. You can have a soulmate who is a dog or a cat. Grandchildren love us because we have a common enemy!

Yes, I am! I didn’t have a problem until my thyroid became under-active and I hit menopause. Psoriatic arthritis also kicked in, making exercise pretty uninviting to me. It’s very hard. I hope Oprah won’t continue to feel embarrassed. She is a beautiful woman. Most of us struggle with weight and we struggle even more with letting our sense of self worth depend on how much we weigh.

Is this guy’s hair real?

Don’t want to make your heads explode, but the Huffington Post reported yesterday that she wore a jacket garnered from the campaign in her recent appearance in GA for Chambliss. Maybe she forgot to return it.
