    Prescriptions for psychiatric problems on the rise

    I think a big shift is the presence of advertising for prescription meds. I see all kinds of ads for over-the-counter snake oil, salves and balms in my old magazines, but enticing people to ask their doctor about a specific pill with scary side effects is relatively new.

    Prescriptions for psychiatric problems on the rise

    I see this as very relevant to noting that "progress" and our current culture is obviously not doing so great, whether it's bought doctors, crooked salesmen or an increasingly "nervous" population. I don't have the stats but I don't know if so many people used to take psychotropic meds. Your...

    Prescriptions for psychiatric problems on the rise

    Why do you think so many doctors are willing to sell out, so to speak, to Big Pharma?

    I cheated! And with a co-worker whom I like BETTER! What to do?!

    I just did it. My appointment was coming up next week, and I was going to call to cancel and schedule at the salon I wanted to try. However, I read some more online reviews and decided to go with what I know- the new-to-me gal, the one with whom I "cheated." I found out that she is more...

    Is "Retromania" destroying culture?

    Oh, and to go nostalgic on you, here are some Hendrix lyrics I like: Now, if 6 turned up to be 9, I don't mind, I don't mind. If all the hippies cut off their hair, I don't care, I don't care. Cuz I got my own world to live through And I ain't gonna copy you.

    Is "Retromania" destroying culture?

    This is what I say to people who say I am stuck in the past: The things that originated pre-2011 and which I embrace, watch, listen to, collect, live by, are my idea of TIMELESS quality or TRUE FOR ME. I don't give a (unladylike word here) what the calendar states. If it makes sense to me and...

    Is cable TV worth keeping?

    Agreed! What infuriates me is that it used to be the best shows were on broadcast TV and cable gave you bonus channels. Now I want cable to access vintage programming that was once on regular TV!

    Is cable TV worth keeping?

    I think you're right. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and watching Lifetime or other fluff usually helps, like last night. I'm not in a position where I *need* to let it go because of money, although I still think it's a rip off. I could fill the gaps during the day but at night...

    Is cable TV worth keeping?

    I must say I am very happy with cable phone service because it does save me money compared to landline plus it works with my rotaries! True when power goes out so does phone service, even with a dependable no power needed rotary.

    Is cable TV worth keeping?

    I don't watch the news on TV- the Internet and radio are just fine. Maybe I can do a test run and not watch cable for a week and put aside the amount of money I spent for that time in a piggy bank to see how I feel.
