"Does that mean we have to hide the knives and lock the bedroom doors"? Thank you TV and movies for making my sister think this. I sat down and explained it to her and my Brother-I-n-Law in simple terms. I was staying at her house over night. She then said "So we can just lock the fridge like old times"!

We will get through this - best thing, from husband.

The Pits: No one, not even my family asked why I was in the hospital, let alone I was diagnosed with BP.

Son: I don't believe they are right. (made me feel nice)

Strangers: Why would I tell them.
