• FDA mulls teen tanning bed ban

  Thu Mar 25, 2010
  • I can't believe anyone would use a tanning bed. Most people can get enough Vit. D from fortified foods, and if they need to, take a supplement in MODERATE amounts.

• 8 awesome alarm clocks

  Thu Mar 25, 2010
  • I just set my clock to radio and put it across the room so I can't turn it off without getting out of bed. It's especially helpful when NPR is doing a fundraiser. I Can't WAIT to shut it off when they're asking me for money!

• Where Facebook profiles go when we die

  Thu Mar 25, 2010
  • Really, people are that pathetic they troll their loved ones' Facebook pages? Facebook is clearly too omnipotent at this point. Why not just see a counselor if you're having trouble coping with death? I'm so glad my grandmother didn't have a FB account when she died.

  • You can't have both bipolar 1 and 2. If you have 2, it means you've never had a manic episode - only hypomanic. If you had bipolar 2 then had a full manic episode, you would then have your diagnosis changed to bipolar 1.

• How vulnerable are you to stress?

  Tue May 5, 2009
  • A lot of the questions shouldn't have the responses they have. How can you "seldom" have family members less than 50 miles away? Also, I live alone? Are they asking me if I argue with myself about chores? What a stupid quiz!

• State House limits cell phone usage for drivers

  Fri Feb 5, 2010
