Carin's Profile

Hello. I am Elaine and live in Wilmington NC. This is Bible-Belt/Trump country and I feel like a ...

Carin comments on Mar 20, 2019:

Hello Elaine, from another fish out of water--I moved to Mississippi in November. From CA no less---MAJOR culture shock!

How many people here like crawfish or crawdads depending on how you say it? Do you like them super ...

Carin comments on Mar 20, 2019:

I love seeing them in the ditches, creeks & rivers. Some have red on them & remind me of little lobsters. Others have blue on them. I don't want to eat them but wonder if they'd do OK as pets. I don't like spicy foods that hurt my mouth.

Carin comments on Mar 20, 2019:

I think that would be too traumatic for my neighbors! Heck, it might even scare the plants!

Carin comments on Mar 19, 2019:

I've never had that experience but I would really like to...well except for hiking. I guess that's a hobby, & my last couple guys had bad knees, which was disappointing--more so for them, I'm sure.

Wishing everyone out there a happy St Patty's Day.??

Carin comments on Mar 19, 2019:

Thanks. I forgot all about it. Hope yours was great.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!

Carin comments on Mar 18, 2019:

What an informative & fascinating article. I am constantly impressed by how much Canadians know about the US, & especially how much they are interested in what is going on over here. Thanks for sharing this & teaching me more about my own country!

How do u fight back depression? Depression attack me again? :-(

Carin comments on Mar 18, 2019:

I'm glad you are asking for help! Depression is a crippling disease & like other sicknesses, often you can't get better on your own. If none of the suggestions here seem to help or you are unable to put them into practice because you feel so terrible, there are many different kinds of professionals that can help. You may or may not want to take medicine. Either choice is OK if it feels right to you. People who tell you to get better only without medicine are ignorant on the subject. But talking to some kind of counselor is usually helpful whether or not you take medicine too. If you don't find the right person to talk to or the best medicine for you right away, don't give up. Look for a new counselor or tell the doctor you don't think a medication is helping.

Rather hurtful thing to do

Carin comments on Mar 18, 2019:

Yeah, cruel & immature behavior.

Has profanity become the normal way to communicate? I was around sailors and union workers when I ...

Carin comments on Mar 18, 2019:

I was always taught that using a lot of profanity was a sign of a poor vocabulary & probably low intelligence. I'm seriously having trouble believing recent scientific studies saying that people who swear are actually smarter & more honest than those who don't. I still wouldn't want to be around them anyway.

It's the same thing, isn't it? ?

Carin comments on Mar 18, 2019:

Then you are a creep.

Sometimes I feel I am...??

Carin comments on Mar 17, 2019:

I agree. Sadly.

Carin comments on Mar 17, 2019:

I don't text, but I like emojis. For some reason can't stand "lol"--maybe because it's usually fake. Like how often are you actually laughing out loud when you type that? Usually it's not nearly THAT funny.

Carin comments on Mar 16, 2019:

You have my total support. I made this decision decades ago & never regretted it, even when my parents died. I only felt relief. So here's me wishing you good luck, although I don't think you need it because you have taken CONTROL of this situation with confident decisiveness.

Hold each other up Stolen from FB

Carin comments on Mar 16, 2019:

Perfect! I love to see a stranger's face light up when I tell her I love her colors, or her sweater looks so comfy & pretty. Someone doesn't need to be dressed up for us to notice something special. & no reason we can't compliment a guy on his shoes or shirt or something either. But the day I casually complimented a store clerk on his masculine choice of nail polish color, I realized I was officially a naturalized Californian.

Carin comments on Mar 16, 2019:

One of my areas of expertise is human lactation. Shorter duration of breastfeeding, only possible in agricultural societies where non-human milk & softer foods were available for infants, would have quickly changed oral development in similar ways. Studies have shown that failure to breastfeed results in higher rates of speech problems, while another study showed that breastfeeding till age 3 (which would have been at the low end of breastfeeding duration in pre-agricultural times) reduces the need for future orthodontia by over 70%! I've seen no information on breastfeeding & wisdom teeth problems, but the data is clearly showing that active breastfeeding rather than passive bottle feeding, which requires no jaw movement, promotes more normal oral development. Thanks for sharing this article!

Carin comments on Mar 16, 2019:

I didn't even need to re-evalaute the relationship. What I learned was so horrible that a 32 year relationship ended in maybe 30 seconds. & never second guessed myself on it either, though it took a long time to physically leave due to having minor children & almost no money.

Carin comments on Mar 16, 2019:

It made me wonder why tropical trees have buttress roots & roots coming down from branches...stability in thin tropical soils? Trying to absorb more nutrients? Spreading out to monopolize more canopy area & sunlight? Maybe someone here knows. Nice picture. In Hawai'i it would stink like Mynah birds though....

Carin comments on Mar 15, 2019:

I tend to agree with you. Let the kids in if they are young enough to be salvageable. We have a similar case in the US right now. Her father is pleading for her to be allowed back in. I would almost say, make an example of her.

I might be a little too religion focused.

I am one of those people, how about you?

Pretty much...I'm good at getting other people to tag along on my adventures though. I took my boyfriend on a carnivorous plant hunt today & he almost forgot to go to work.

Most know this as PI day it just also so happens to Albert Einstein birthday.

Carin comments on Mar 14, 2019:

My silly Pi Day story: Somehow I made it to my forties never having heard of Pi Day (I'm totally math phobic) until my daughter said tomorrow was Pie Day at school, & they were supposed to bring pies to cut up & share. As a hopeless wanna-be supermom type, I set to making a home made pie that would be bigger than any of the other kids' pies. My lasagna pan was the biggest baking dish I had....& my poor daughter brought a rectangular (though huge, delicious, & made entirely from scratch) apple pie to school to celebrate "Pie" day.....

Someone just told me that Trump is going to try to get rid of DST. Nothing about that in today's newspaper though, so I'm wondering if anyone here heard that too. It would be weird to support anything he does, but I sure hope it's true & he actually does it.

Carin comments on Mar 12, 2019:

No need to starve--just poke a tiny hole in the lid to get rid of the vacuum holding it on. You can put a little tape over the hole if you aren't going to use it all up. I find that my pride is well worth a bit of tape. Did anyone mention whacking the bottom of the jar with the heel of your hand as hard as you can? That will often jolt things loose.
