I know this has been done before but I don't remember them all.

What is one thing that triggers your bipolar? My trigger is night time. Late nights....staying up to late. If I stay up past nine I get panic attacks that just won't go away.

What triggers you?

Sorry tommy. I was just curious. As my husband keeps telling me curiosity killed the cat. I am going to use that story as a parable I need to learn from in my intercultural comm class. We are doing a presentation tomorrow on what stories influence you the most and I need influenced so far by a penny saved is a penny earned and curiosity killed the cat. i am sure if I can rattle my brain the tortoise and the hare tale slow and steady wins the race and among other stories I can draw for lessons learned on.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
