Majority of Missouri tanning salons allow preteens
Mon Feb 25, 2013
- Pray tell, what training is given at these "professional" salons? Is there some sort of licensing board? Educational requirements? Or are you just talking about the franchise owner giving some high school kid a run-down in how to wipe off the bed between customers? Yes, we do need some sun exposure …
Powerball winners introduced to the nation: 'We're still stunned by what happened'
Fri Nov 30, 2012
- Even though I'll never win, this is part of my plan for sure! I would have my "team" handle all of this for me. It's so stupid to do this all yourself.
One big winner in Tuesday's vote: health reform
Wed Nov 7, 2012
- I find it strange that you’re simultaneously so pro-Obama while sitting there saying his biggest “achievement” was the wrong solution. I’ll 100% agree with you on that. Nothing that allows health insurance companies to continue to operate will fix our healthcare problems. If …
Compounding pharmacies -- heroes or outlaws?
Wed Oct 10, 2012
- Ever given a cat a pill? When our cat was diagnosed with a thyroid condition, I thought we were going to have to put her down. We had plenty of experience in giving her medication and it was an unpleasant for us and downright stressful for her. I couldn't stomach the thought of going through that tw …
If you think we're fat now, wait till 2030
Tue Sep 18, 2012
- “The initial reaction is to say, ‘Oh it couldn’t be that bad’,” Whose initial reaction is this? Anyone with functioning eyes should not be surprised that such a high number of people are fat. As a size 4, I am fully aware that I am officially in the minority.
Tiniest babies may need formula along with breast milk
Fri Aug 17, 2012
- Um, we don't deny this. It's a very well known fact. This is exactly why bottle fed and breast fed babies should not be measured on the same growth charts. Artificially fed babies generally gain weight at an unnatural pace because they take in excessive calories. Your stomach is the size of your fi …
New York's pro-breastfeeding stance draws criticism
Wed Aug 1, 2012

The IUD: What does your doc know that you don't?
Wed Jul 25, 2012
- Uh, veggiegrl08, Mirena IS hormonal birth control. It provides a steady low dose of progestrogen. Maybe you have Paraguard which relies on copper to immobilize sperm. I'm getting Mirena next month. My OB's office called the insurance company and the whole visit is going to run me about $150 (I haven …
Hundreds of thousands of strollers recalled for strangulation risk
Tue Jul 24, 2012
- I'm pretty sure the same thing happened with a baby monitor in the last couple of years because people chose to ignore that big ole warning about keeping the cords away from the crib. Kind of duh here. I have a 3.5 year old and a 1 year old and I grasp that if I fail to follow directions and somethi …
Hospital meals overdo it on salt
Wed Jul 18, 2012
- It's not just the salt. It's really hard to eat well when you're in the hospital. I have two young kids delivered at two different hospitals (in different health systems) and both times I was sorely disappointed by the lack of whole grains and produce available to me on the hospital menu. A new mom …
