Of the three final contestants, two of them (Joey and Jamawn) were reduced to sobs and tears at several edited points during the show. (These moments were related to the surprise arrival of the contestants’ wives, kids, siblings, and/or friends at the end of their long and arduous restaurant competition, so I don’t blame Joey or Jamawn for turning on the waterworks. On the other hand, Sudhir, a new American citizen, native of India, and creator of Spice Coast, consistently held his emotions in check, which was one of the reasons why I would’ve chosen his concept as the winner.) But I have to say that watching those two tough guys weep openly on seve...

The study, published today in the journal Science, found that when men smell women’s tears, they became less sexually aroused and were less attracted to women than when they smelled a saline solution dribbled on women’s cheeks. Scientists who’ve long been baffled by the purpose of emotional tears are calling the study a scientific breakthrough, indicating that there’s a chemical signal at work, and crying isn’t purposeless, after all. Exactly what the epurpose of turning off men with our tears is has yet to be determined: “There’s several lines of evidence that women cry much more during menstruation, and from a biological standp...

He swallowed and tried again. But describing all the bad jobs he had once led to near sobbing when he got to the line, “I poured my heart and soul into running a small business.” Boehner has cried in public many other times, the recent election night being only the largest stage to date. The tears also flow at his annual golf tournament, or while watching a child pledge allegiance to the flag, listening to a Republican colleague speak about his Vietnam War experiences, the unv...

It also used to rationalize treating women like a lower, less intelligent race. Thank God that’s over, right? We may not get a diagnosis anymore, but we’re not sure the perception of women has necessarily taken such great strides. Just take a look at movies and TV shows: We’re still bawling, melting down, and burdening others with hysterical outbursts. Hardly empowering. Don Draper’s outburst on last week’s episode of Mad Men got lots of attention: One teary scene led to an entire Internet meme, complete with a a new blog: Sad Don Draper. Everyone stopped in their tracks at the hilarity of a grown man crying on television, but the women sobbing in our gallery (and countless TV shows and movies) hardly g...

I walked into the room of an infirm, frail old gentleman who was gracious and polite, as was his family. It turns out he came to us with a terminal illness. I did not know it, but his physician was meeting him. So, as AF and I walked into the room, the patient’s physician walked in after us, and continued a conversation about hospice that he had apparently begun earlier in the day. Realizing I had nothing to add, and would not be needed, I slipped away with my shadow...

Image: sxc.hu Dunstan claims her experience as a mom combined with her years in the opera allow her to recognize certain sounds in the human voice – the baby’s voice. She says that infants (up to three months) use five universal “words” that mean the following: “Neh” – I’m hungry “Owh” – I’m sleepy “Heh” – I’m uncomfortable (dirty diaper, stress, or discomfort) “Eairh” – I have gas or an upset stomach “Eh” – I need to be burped You may hav...

Apparently, balling our eyes out is super healthy for us. In an article by Meghan Krein on Divine Caroline, William Frey, a biochemist at the University of Minnesota, says there are three different types of tears: continuous, reflex, and emotional. Continuous tears keep our eyes moist. Reflex tears are the reaction we have while chopping onions. Finally, there are emotional tears, which let loose when you watch “Terms of Endearment” or “Ordinary People” (those get us every time), or during a huge fight with your partner.

All three of my children “slept through the night” at three months of age! For real! I’m not lying! Except, then they didn’t. Inevitably my 3-month-old would cut her first tooth, get a cold, or just plain decide it was nice to have her mama comfort her back to sleep in the night. So can I say in all honesty that my children slept through the night at three months of age? Not quite. Image courtesy of Lorenzo González I think a significant number of mothers are not completely honest about how things are going in their mothering journey.

The bucket/bath/tub is a clear bucket-shaped container that the website calls “womb-shaped and sized.” Created in the Netherlands, the tub is supposed to be popular, providing the baby with a comfortable transition from the womb to outside.

The actual amount of pain an individual is experiencing is difficult to assess because our interpretation of pain is extremely individual. Does it vary according to our sex? We have all been asked the question about our amount of pain according to the pain sliding scale. I know you’re all familiar with it. You remember the scale which starts with 1 and goes up to 10? The physician or his/her assistant usually asks you, on an office visit, where your pain is currently with number 1 being the least amount, 5 being in the middle and 10 being the worse pain you can experience. I have always thought that pain scale to be a bit useless because it so greatly depends on your mood at the time, your f...

I asked my mom what she says when someone tells her “What does not kill you makes you stronger.”  Her reply: “I’d rather be weak.”  I love my mom’s line of thinking here.  It is so her: bold, tactful, and humble.

A 15-year old boy from Tennessee is crying blood. Literally. Calvino Inman noticed his reflected after a shower a few months ago and saw that he had blood coming from his eyes. His condition, called “haemolacria” is sometimes seen in people who “have experienced extreme trauma or who have recently had a serious head injury.” The problem? Inman didn’t have these types of things happen to him. Doctors are running him through the usual battery of tests, but thus far nothing out of the ordinary has been found. The teen has several medical experts now working on his case. Image: sxc.hu.

We usually introduce solids around 4-6 months of age. There will be a period of time that your baby will undergo growth spurts. They will start to nurse and eat more often than usual and they seem to be hungry all the time. Do not worry this just occurs in spurts and they go back to their normal routine.

People get a certain feeling when they are there, like putting on a pair of old comfortable shoes or being plugged into a charge of energy. Memories, emotions, physical sensations - these places stir them all up, creating a divine craving to return often. For me, it’s an old football stadium. This past weekend I went to the football stadium of my alma mater. It’s just a spring scrimmage, but it’s a Huge Deal every year. This thing is more than just a sporting event. It’s an excuse to “be there”, to bask in the aura and the atmosphere, to get lost inside the experience. I went to college there, so did my husband, my dad, and so many other people in my family.

Please just listen to what I’m saying.” And miracle of miracles, he did. What I learned from this episode: I was done apologizing for my tears. Growing up I was constantly told crying was a weakness and to cut it out. Well, to hell with that.

By Dov Michaeli MD, Ph.D I recently came across a news item about a tearless onion developed by scientists in New Zealand . I, for one, shed many tears over the chopping board, and all because of a substance called the lachrymatory factor. Now, using molecular engineering techniques, the Kiwi scientists silenced the gene that codes for this factor, and voilá – a tearless onion.

You may see two that you don’t seem to click with before you find one that actually seems to help. You may see that perfect therapist the first therapist you find. You just don’t know. But like a car crash I can’t stop watching, I couldn’t help but read an entire recent blog entry from Violent Acres (NSFW), which is a blog that is often entertaining, although it is definitely not family-friendly with a lot of f— and s—- words and similar profanity lacing every entry. The entry in questi...
