If anyone looks to Dr. Phil to take care of them, they are going to be highly disappointed. He is not about taking care of anyone, but is all about offering tools that will hopefully enable folks to take care of themselves. I appreciate him for telling people what they probably need to hear, not what they WANT to hear. I don't agree with everything he says either, but I have tried some of his methods and have had incredible results. Of course, to those who do have a great grip on life ( I didn't). Don't fix what is not broken! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

I would really be interested in more information on that. I do like Dr. Phil (he has helped change my life) but it's always fun to have the dirt! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

Since you don't watch him you may not have gotten that little joke. He asks his guests quite frequently "How's that working for ya?" He is always getting made fun of about that. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that so you didn't think I was just trying to be a smart alek Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

"How's that working for ya?" Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

I am not Jesus Christ! (Also joking)

It looks to me like she said she HAS SMOKED. Doesn't that mean in the past? What does that have to do with her being a Christian now, in the PRESENT? The apostle Paul killed Christians before he became one for crying out loud! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

Walt, You have succeeded, yet again, at absolutely cracking me up! I am so looking forward to meeting you. I could use a few more good laughs! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

You are torturing me! I've had braces for the last two years and have not been able to eat corn on the cob. Yes I can remove it from the cob, but it's not the same. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

Good for you! That sounds like the healthies weight loss method I've heard in a while! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

Gross but HILARIOUS! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

I have never done drugs. I do not drink alcohol. I really only have one reason but it's a very good one. I watched my dad die a slow death from drinking too much for many years. That's the best AA program in the world! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

That is why he says "I'm not for everybody, that's why you have a remote control." Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

Living on the same piece of property as his parents in the same town we graduated in (Thank the Lord I don't still live there). Not married and probably never will be. His dad tracked me down a few months ago with a request to sing at his Grandma's funeral. We dated all through high school and they were like a second family. They wanted me to sing "Wind Beneath My Wings". As I was singing the last stanza "thank you, thank you, thank God for you" I stared at my husband sitting a few rows away and secretly sang every word to him! Bad thing to do at a funeral I know!

I replaced my beloved Splenda with Stevia and it's great. Yes it costs more but I feel better knowing it is natural and I won't get a migraine from it. It's been a rollercoaster since I was told I'm hypoglycemic! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

I can't speak about all doctors, but I do have a friend whose daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. She did not want Ridilin so she did some research and cut out some food additives in her diet. Sugar and artificial sweeteners were among these. Within a week her daughter had no more symptoms. I realize she could have been misdiagnosed and actually believe many children are. Changing the diet is what took care of the "root problem", taking Ridilin would have been just masking the symptoms. Unfortunately some people don't want to do the work that's involved in research and changing the diet (or just aren't aware of it). It's just easier to take a pill. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

That is even more hilarious! I can tell you are a true Simpson's fan. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

I realize this is a very controversial subject and I certainly understand why natural remedies might be a little scary to some. Certainly we don't want to start self-diagnosing and self-treating because that could be dangerous. However, I have had a few personal experiences with natural cures. I have a doctor, a real MD, who practices homeopathy and prescriptions. According to her (and others) research, people die while taking prescription drugs too. The Vioxx fiasco is one of many examples. I was taking prozac and suffering from all kinds of side affects. The little benefit I got from the drug was not worth the problems it caused. I am now taking St. John's Wort and Omega 3 everyday and doing MUCH better without all the bothersome side affects. That doesn't mean I will never again take another prescription drug, it just means I won't limit my options to just that. And of course, it just makes sense to me that something found in nature is going to be better then something synthetic and man made. It is possible to go to three or four doctors and get totally different advice from each of them. I don't take all the naturalists at their word just like I don't take the doctors at their word either. I find out for myself. They may have been studying the human body for years, but sometimes we know our own bodies best. I believe prescription drugs absolutely have their place, but do not believe that is ALWAYS the answer. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

Not sure which character it was, I think Homer's dad, auditioning for some talent show. "when you're alone and life is making you lonley you can always go, DOON TOON! Now everytime my husband and I hear that song we change the words to doon toon. Always makes for a good laugh. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

What a cowardly thing to do! Take the cat to the animal shelter if you don't want to deal with it. At least if they have to end it's life they will do it humanely (as was mentioned in a previous post). As for what should happen to the accussed, I'm not sure. Sometimes it's hard enough to get justice when a child is mistreated! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

I'm still here, and I'd like to think I'm here for a reason. If I honestly believed I should have died, then my life now would be pretty meaningless, right? *** Very EXCELLENT point! I'm going with Tigra's outlook. My close call came during the delivery of my first child. Had a severe case of toxemia and they lost me briefly twice. I think the nurse almost slapped me the second time to bring me back! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

You're hilarious! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

Walt, would you be mad at me if I told you I was born in the 70's? Luv ya man! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

WOW! It is an honor to be able to say I have jumped with both of you! (even though you had to pull for me last time) Please keep those vids and pictures coming. Glad you guys were not hurt. You make an awesome pair! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28
