I have a very small bottle that is about 2 inches or less in length. It is somewhat round at the bottom and about 1 inch or so wide. The name "Baby Tears" is embossed right into the bottle. I have had it for a long time. Just looking for a general time period, or if there is someone out there who might know anything about the Baby Tears name on the bottle and what it was. Thanks...

Reading a question here earlier about what other freebees seniors are 'owed' by the government got me thinking about this because I'm not looking for anything from the gov but my Social Security, which is money I paid in.

But it seems to me one way the elderly could help and support one another would be to join together to form subsistence farms. There are small farms going to ruin all over this country, many to be had cheap.

No single SS check would buy one, but a dozen pooled would easily make payments while leaving a lot left. Pooling transportation would also save a bunch.

It's amazing how much food can be grown on 20 acres of land provided a person doesn't depend on it except for shelter and sustenance. A person can't live well on a single SS check. But a dozen checks and a dozen people working together to better their lots would be an entirely different matter.

I think it beats government handouts all to pieces.

What do you think?

...that it may be just selfish and wasteful? I appreciate the fact that large family units, farmers and people doing moving, hauling etc. need larger vehicles, but too often I see solo individuals driving these monster vehicles and I wonder why given the cost of gas, the need to improve the environment etc., these vehicles are everywhere. If you go to an urban or suburban shopping mall, the number of these oversized vehicles is staggering. I often feel that these indiviuals are more aggressive on the road given the size of the vehicles they drive. Could there be some compensation mechanism going on due to feelings of inferiority or smallness in other areas? PS I know this goes against the Amercan mania for owning bigger and bigger cars. Nor I am not a displaced flower child, an environmental freak or even a bleeding heart liberal. I am a conservative republican on most matters, but having all of these big cars seems wasteful and destructive to our society.

On a Trans-Atlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.

One woman in particular loses it. Screaming,she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! No one has ever made me really feel like a woman! Well I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN??"

For a moment there is silence. everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says. This tall, tanned and built guy with jet black eyes starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time.

No one moves. As this man approaches, the woman begins to get excited. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her, and extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers: "Iron this."

I have seen this more and more, where if a guy slashes the idea of wearing a Kilt, than just saying they wouldn't wear one. It seems to be a litmus test for those who are not secure in their sexuality, because here in America, everything should be tolerated, so long as it doesn't hurt another person or creature.

I take it as fighting being gay. Popular estimates are that nearly 10 percent of the population is gay in America. I believe there is at least that many more that are so fighting their gay intentions, that they fight anything that could be construed as gay.

Ironically, the Kilt, adapted to American ways, causes ire with many boys, teens and men. They somehow see it as being gay like, whereas in actuality, virtually no gay guys wear them. It usually takes a very strong and confident guy to wear a Kilt in this day in age outside the Scottish circles.

With so many subversives around, many assume yet another. Actually, the scary ones are really the ones still in the closet.

Trust me, I have nothing against emos in general, but is it all an act when they frown and say "You don't understand"? I want them to try and make me understand when they say this. I think it's all an act, just like chavs when they walk in town looking as though they have stones in their trainers to try and look cool, when really they just look disabled (sorry if offended) Most emos put their heads down and scurry away when I question them. Some will even say that I'm just looking for attention, but when I remind them that they are the ones dressing for a public reaction and attention, they shut up. All talk no action. I enjoy listening to what most emos listen to e.g. Heavy and Death Metal, but I don't run around dressed like Maralin Manson. It's just a fashion isn't it? nothing more. If the type of emo who slits their wrists, dresses in all black and is reading this thinking "but you don't understand", well make me understand please.

There is a really nice guy I really like, have known him for several years through his work, but he has just got back to work after being really poorly. i sent him a few get well cards to support him during his time off via his work (works for a bank so I know they can't give me personal details). we talked about going for a coffee prior to his illness, but I'm sure when is stronger we will still go, but getting better surely must be a priority. One of my mates thinks he might be gay even though she has never met him., she thinks he would have been in touch already but I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt as he has had enough to contend with being so ill. Idon't get the feeling he is, so why should she?? please help

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the roadside. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

"Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man.

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.

"Oh, come along with me then."

"But sir, I have a wife with two children!"

"Bring them along! And you, come with us too!", he said to the other man.

"But sir, I have a wife with six children!" the second man answered.

"Bring them as well!"

They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is about two feet tall."

I know we could tape it but why should we have to? We should be able to watch a film in its entirety. Do you agree?

About the time you spend on here? Mine Does. I have tried to get him involved, he has his own sign in and Avatar and he knows where to look for my Q&A but he still has to have a go sometimes because he is jealous and he thinks I am being secretive.
I think it's all pretty sad because I have given him Carte Blanch to look at my Q&A to prove that everything is above board.
He also, probably wrongly, has access to my e-mails. All I am trying to do is stop the petty arguments but, I have ended up with no privacy.
If I had Privacy, I would have to access it privately which is impossible because he is home all day and I am not!
Should I just give up the computer?
