Comment on: How vomit helped me through my father's birthday - MD Mama - Boston.com
Beautiful and thoughtfully written. I miss my Dad every day, and he's still physically here. A sudden stroke in August left him paralyzed and in a nursing home and not at all the Daddy I knew. I think more »

Comment on: 'Boston school children get free haircuts'
Great story about the generosity of others. And the parents/adults who talked about how important it is to look good and self esteem are right! If you look good, you feel good, you work harder, you pu more »

Comment on: 'A one-time patient gives back to her doctor'
Wonderful story. I work in healthcare too, and have been on the receiving end of some major compassion from my patients. It's a little weird at first, but then I realize it's what they want to do, too more »

Comment on: 'Dieting is tough enough without adding a sabotaging (if well-intentioned) spouse to the mix'
When I moved in with my then-boyfriend, who was a chef, I started to gain weight. I ate very healthily before we moved in together, but suddenly had full meals being cooked for me (with lots of butter more »

Comment on: How%20do%20you%20fit%20in%20fitness%3F%20
Same as scauma, I go just about every day after work. I know if I go home, I'm not going to go back out again to the gym. On days when I am pressed for time, I'll get up early and either go or do a wo more »

Comment on: 'Why are some of us so interested in making over our spouses?'
My ex husband definitely had a more funky style than I do. I tend to dress a bit more classically, but love to get dressed up. He was more artistic about it, and liked graphics, louder prints/colors, more »

Comment on: 'Snake on a train, bashful for weeks, slips out, is snared'
I'm glad the snake is home with her owners. Like others on this board, I have an completely unreasonable fear of snakes...just knowing that there was a possibility that I was in the same car or on the more »

Comment on: 'New ‘
I work at a restaurant (here in Boston, so we're now allowed to start serving alcohol when we open at 10 on Sundays) and used to HATE it when I had to tell a table they can only have coffee or juice u more »

Comment on: 'Pride was out in full stride'
There weren't too many empty seats, except, as Unplug said, the roof. They announced that the attendance was a bit above 31k last night. My husband and I went with a bunch of friends and had a great t more »

Comment on: What Newsweek's decline means - Culture Club blog - Boston.com
I read Newsweek every week. I received a subscription to it when I went away to college and have kept the subscription for the past 10 years. I read it in bed every night, and have figured out how man more »

Comment on: Monday%20question%3A%20How%20many%20children%3F%20
LW, I am very sorry for your loss, and I hope you can find some peace, if you haven't already. I lost my sister when I was 16 and she was 21. If people ask how many siblings I have, I say I have 4 sis more »

Comment on: 'With Newsweek sale planned, is end of an era near?'
I read Newsweek every night before bed. I've figured out how many pages I can read each night to make it last the whole week, and I look forward to Tuesdays, because my new one in in the mailbox. That more »

Comment on: 'Viet-Cajun arrives in Dorchester at Brother’
There used to be a restaurant in New Orleans called Asian Cajun. Aside from being a bit of a tongue twister, I don't think it's offensive... We moved here to Boston 3.5 years ago from New Orleans. We' more »

Comment on: 'The pin kings'
I have great memories of bowling at the alley in Ipswich. Unfortunately, it's been razed and is now a parking lot (didn't Joni Mitchell write a song about that?? :-) )... I feel silly for even admitti more »

Comment on: 'For parents who support adult children, when does ‘
Jim2E, This is a serious question... Is there a correct hand to wear a watch on? I'm a lefty, so I wear it on my right hand...I always thought it just went on the hand opposite your dominant hand, as more »

Comment on: 'The Ms. myth'
I kept my own last name when my husband and I got married. I have also made it clear to him (and he's fine with it) that if we should have children, they will have my last name, as well. This is for 2 more »

Comment on: 'Local boaters find crafty way to live cheaply'
My family owns a small marina on the North Shore that I grew up on. We didn't have year-round liveabords, but for the boating season (April 15th-October 15th, give or take), we had some liveabords. I more »

Comment on: 'Depression that hit Remy befalls many after cancer'
I'm so glad that JR has admitted to his depression publicly. It's so important for people to know that it's not a failure or a weakness, it's a natural part of the process of going through something a more »

Comment on: 'Palm Pre good, but falls short of iPhone'
I have Sprint, and I've never had a problem with coverage. That's not true-on my drive into work, when I'm going down Albany street, past BMC emergency room, my calls get dropped. Chances are good tha more »

Comment on: 'Bereaved fathers find healing in bonds of friendship'
I see your point, Hartleysson, but I don't think that's what the article is trying to focus on...for some men, having a beer or two with some other guys may be what they need to do in order to lose th more »
As one of my professors said in grad school, when people are having traumatic reactions to events, you can say.."you are having a normal reaction to an abnormal event". We all are. Whatever we need to more »
