Being a fan of the show for as long as I have, I’ve seen and heard some crazy storylines that people come up with and to be honest, after all these years, I don’t think any of those storylines are going to actually happen. They believe that if characters are good together then they deserve their own storyline. I have strong feelings for people who are convinced that Buddie is going to happen. Since Eddie joined the 118 in season 2, fans of the show are trying to get Eddie to

Just because supporting characters have good chemistry doesn’t mean they need a spinoff. People want to know what’s going on in the characters' lives after the show has ended or they feel like the show ended in a weird way and they want to have a conclusion, but in all honestly, not every TV show needs or deserves a spinoff or a reboot. Having a TV show come back after a few years or even a decade is something that’s normal nowadays, but are TV shows making a comeback worth t

There is a debate on if Jack was able to fit on the door at the end of Titanic. People say that Rose never loved Jack since she never tried to make room for him, but what people don’t remember or realize is that Jack did try and get on the door, but due to the weight of both of them being on the door, it began to sink into the water. Jack wasn’t able to get onto it because it would have put both of them at risk of being in the water while holding onto the door. Jack decided t

Towards the end of his life, Brian Keith had suffered so much. He had several health issues and was dealing with the unexpected death of his 27 year old daughter, Daisy. Also during this time, Brian was dealing with some financial troubles. Before getting into show business, Brian was in the Marines and served in World War 2. After his service, he got into radio and theatre. In 1961, he got the part in a movie Parent Trap, which became a favorite and in 1966, he got the par

I’ve been hurt and disappointed by people. I’ve felt disrespected by people who I thought cared about me. Nobody thinks of me when it comes to big events. Nobody stands up for me. I feel like an after thought. I don’t need that type of person in my life. I want to feel valued and seen in someone’s life. I don’t want to have a one way relationship and not get that respect back. I’ve always been the one that would reach out because I want to keep whatever contact I can with so

Research shows that genetics play a major part in autism, but there is no single “autism gene.” Instead, hundreds of different genetic variations can interact to increase the likelihood of an autism diagnosis. Autism is not caused by parenting style or emotional upbringing. Many children with autism are born to parents with no history of the condition in their families. Research shows that genetics play a major role in autism. Studies of twins and families estimate that auti

Chris Friesen was a young man who had a bright future in sports. He grew up in Langley, British Columbia with an older brother, Max. The last person that Chris talked to was Max. Growing up, Chris played sports and when he got older, he chose lacrosse, a sport that he excelled at. He had played both field and box lacrosse, played on numerous teams and played in countless tournaments. Chris was starting to look into universities and colleges and was excited about his options a

There is no evidence that vaccines cause autism. There are some side effects when getting a vaccine, like mild fever or soreness, but vaccines don’t cause or have a child develop autism. Parents choose not to vaccinate their children due to overlapping concerns about safety, distrust in pharmaceutical companies and healthcare systems, and a desire for "natural immunity." Autism is understood to be a neurodevelopmental condition influenced largely by genetics and early brain

Twin telepathy is considered to be a myth with no scientific evidence that it exists. Twins who grew up closer will be able to share similar experiences since they were raised in similar environments. They also are able to pick up on expressions and body language and learn each other’s habits due to always being around each other and being so close with each other. Personalities of twins can also be similar to the point where they share the same thought or finish each other’s

Anissa Jones was just 18 years old when she died from a drug overdose in 1976. The actress was best known as Buffy in the 1960s TV show, Family Affair, but after the show ended in 1971, she had a hard time adjusting even when she was auditioning for other roles, her character she was known for seemed to follow her around. Whenever people addressed her as Buffy, she politely told them to call her Anissa. She auditioned for the role of Reagan in The Exorcist, but the director c

Stimming, short for "self-stimulatory behavior" or stereotypic movement, refers to repetitive physical movements, sounds, or behaviors—such as hand flapping, rocking, or spinning—common in individuals with autism. These behaviors serve as essential coping mechanisms for regulating emotions, managing sensory input (avoiding overload or seeking stimulation), reducing anxiety, and aiding focus. People with autism stim to help them self-regulate. It can be anything from rocking

Kevin Brooks was involved in a drunk driving accident that paralyzed him from the chest down and killed his childhood best friend, Brendan. During the early days of his stay in the hospital, Kevin’s parents didn’t tell him about Brendan’s death in fear that it would cause Kevin to want to give up. Eventually over time, Kevin learned about Brendan. Not only did he have to live with the fact that he killed his best friend, but for knowing that he’s never going to be able to wa

How do you know if you're having an anxiety attack or a panic attack? A panic attack comes on suddenly and it involves fear that often occurs without warning. You can start feeling heart palpitations or dizziness, while anxiety attacks typically build gradually over time, often triggered by a specific stressor or worry about future events. Anxiety attacks build over time. They can last for hours, maybe even days. Symptoms are worry, distress, tension, irritability, fatigue,

When someone with autism masks, they are trying to blend in with people who are neurotypical. They want to be accepted and not be looked at differently. They want to fit in as much as they can. During this time, someone would start to pick up social cues from people around them. They do what they can to make sure their autism isn’t known to whoever they are around. It can eventually lead to anxiety because they are trying to be someone they are not. In a lot of situations, t

Philip Seymour Hoffman was considered to be one of the most talented actors in the film and TV industry. He appeared in films like Boogie Nights, Twister, Patch Adams and Along Came Polly. Philip had a talent, both in film and theatre. No matter the genre of film or type of play, he was able to do it all. In early 2014, Philip had moved into an apartment in Greenwich Village, New York. He had recently separated from his partner, Mimi O’Donnell and wanted to deal with his add

People often mistake Alzheimer's with dementia or the other way around, but as much we know about either one, there is a difference between the two. Dementia is a term used for the declining of cognitive function like memory and thinking and it's severe enough where it affects daily life, whereas Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia. Alzheimer's is a disease while dementia is the set of symptoms it causes. 60% to 80% of Alzheimer's dise

When I was in California with a friend, we were out front of Knotts Berry Farm for the shuttle to take us back to our hotel. As we were waiting, a woman came up to us and started chatting with us. She asked where we were from and once she heard Canada, she started to ask questions, the one that stuck out the most was if Canada was like anything like Degrassi. Which got me thinking of how different schools are in both Canada and in America or how people think what they see on

Once again, fans of the show are coming up with theories on what’s happening on 911. A call sheet was posted online and it showed that there was going to be a storyline involving the parents of a child that Buck helped conceive since the husband who was a friend of Buck from way back when wasn’t able to get his wife pregnant and had asked Buck to help them have a baby. Fans started to call that baby Buck’s donor baby. The names of the actors who played the child’s parents wer

I feel like the direction of where my blog is going is nowhere near where I want it to be. I wanted to be able to share what I was interested in and also have people learn about mental health and addiction, but as time went on I found that there wasn’t much going on when it came to people reading my blog. I feel like I’m talking, but nobody’s listening. I know I’ve talked about in previous posts, where I feel like I’m not being heard and how it makes me feel knowing I’ve put

Andy Gibb grew up with brothers who were international superstars. He was the baby of the family with a 9 year age gap between him and his twin brothers, Maurice and Robin, but Andy was closer to his brother, Barry. The funny thing is that Andy and Barry were almost like twins despite the age gap, they both looked alike, acted alike and even had the same birthmark. Just like his brothers, Andy had success in the music industry, but he also didn’t want to use his name to get s

Having a brother or sister with autism can be hard. If the siblings have a close relationship then it is beneficial since they have someone that they are comfortable with, but it can also be challenging because the sibling with autism is going to get more attention since they're going to need extra help in their daily lives. Every autism family is different, there’s no two families that are the same. Getting an autism diagnosis is going to be hard and there are going to be a

There was a TV mini-series called Amityville: An Origin Story that was released on one of the streaming sites. During that mini-series, it goes into detail about the DeFeo murders and what happened afterwards when the Lutz family moved in. The more you watch it and get to understand the different sides of what happened, you start to wonder if what you thought was real was all a hoax. At first, you start to feel like for the Defeo family since you don’t know what really happe

What appeared to be a happy reunion with her son and newborn daughter turned tragic when Daniel was found unresponsive in her hospital room. He was pronounced dead from a lethal combination of medications including methadone, zoloft and lexapro. Daniel was very close to Anna Nicole. He was the only constant thing in her life. He had been there for her through everything. They relied on each other.
