As a matter of fact I did. I used to agree with you (sm)
but since doing my own research, I've come to the conclusion that it is a bunch of crap.
Agree with this. Diaries/journals are personal space, no matter
s
Are sure sure there aren't other hidden -sm
issues, such as maybe drug or alcohol abuse?
Do you think cures are really hidden from us?
I used to think this was silly when people thought this, but as I've seen things happen in my own life and look around at our world, I think this could be true.
For example, I have used several products that are not FDA approved and they work better than most things my doctor's pills didn't cure.
I used a salve to cure my skin cancer when doctors didn't get it twice with surgery.
I used the itworkspaste to remove my moles, skin tags and warts.
I use sota instruments who bob beck recommended on youtube as the device of the future which fights all viruses and bacteria. I've seen it get rid of my moms bronchitis, my dogs paw infection, my sons mono, my flus, etc.
I asked the cancer salve people why this wasn't sold in doctors offices and they said "cause it's natural" and if the pharmaceuticals can't get money from it, then most likely you won't see it FDA approved unless you had millions of dollars.
And if the FDA cared so much about us, why in the world would we allow cigarettes to be legal? Think about it...the cigarettes keep you hooked, you get cancer, then go through the hoop of chemo. You become a great high paying customer.
What are your thoughts on it. And, have you ever used a product that is not FDA that you swear by? Please share...thank you!
No, I don't think they're hidden from us at all
Most people know, or can discover with a little research, that most of the things we get are easily preventable or cured, over time, by our own immune systems. Taking antibiotics for a cold is not only foolish, but dangerous. And not just for you, but for all of us. It's where we get things like MERSA. Most people can also take the time to educate themselves on the best way to deal with their issues, they simply choose not to take the time to be responsible for their own care when it comes to "minor" things.
The best care you can give yourself, besides preventive care (stay out of the sun, you're white for a reason; eat right, exercise, if you're fat eat less and exercise; etc etc) is supportive care. If you don't feel well, eat foods that are nutrient dense and get plenty of fluids and rest. Your body will usually take care of the rest. If it doesn't and you DO need medicines (as in the case of my auto-immune disorder), use them judiciously. I know that every winter I will go off the meds that keeps my immune system from attacking my own body (destroying it in the process - that's how they work) and will experience a lot more pain because I want to die in a spectacularly gruesome or Darwinian way, not from a case of the common cold. So I'm going to be in a lot more pain as my immune system looks at all of my connective tissue and yells "INTRUDER!!! ATTACK!!!"
Ideally I should be able to deal with my pain by growing my own natural remedies, but the Federal Government tends to frown on a garden full of opium poppies and marijuana plants. Willow bark just don't cut it, either, though I have used it successfully for fevers. I've also used booze to successfully treat a nasty sprain in my back. Kept me down, relaxed the muscles and killed the pain until it healed on its own. Of course society tends to frown on that, too. So, no, they're not "hidden", they're just not encouraged or advertised. Being a heathen gives me a distinct advantage in the area of herbalism as we tend to try traditional remedies before running to the doctor. Even if I'm fairly certain that about half the time the traditional remedy makes you feel better because it's loaded with alcohol (in our case).
No, drugs do NOT take too long to make it to market. They make it too quickly. Before AIDS hit it could take 30 years for a new drug to make it to market. Now they're being released so quickly they've not had time to test for long term effects. Vioxx is a good example of what can go wrong with that one. Who would have guessed using it long-term could kill you? It definitely damages your heart. That's just one of many drugs that were fast-tracked, that shouldn't have been, and that are now the focus of class action lawsuits after people have been injured or killed due to lack of long-term clinical studies. Are there drugs that made it to market quickly that have proven safe? Of course there are. Unfortunately there's no way for us to tell in advance how thoroughly something has been tested, how long it spent in R&D or how wide-ranging the clinical trials may have been. So we're all guinea pigs now.
It really is a balance. I feel that for myself, it's about causing the least amount of harm both to myself, my family and my community. I get vaccinated because I don't want to be a disease vector and impact all of society. I take medications to destroy my immune system so I don't have to take pain meds and can work more effectively. I quit taking them during cold and flu season so I don't become a burden on my family by picking up every little thing that blows through town and risk infecting The Old People as well. Then I have to take more medications for pain. That's MY balance. It is unique to me and my somewhat unusual situation (though disorders like mine are more common than most people think - they're just largely undiagnosed). Everyone has to find their own balance and part of finding that balance is educating yourself on ALL of your options, natural and otherwise. It's called "personal responsibility" and we seem to have a dearth of it in this country.
There was no hidden agenda to it --
Please see the post below by the woman who used to work in a prison. You are required to report it. If a coworker, and there are lot of those in this area, were to have seen him talking to this guy and knew that this guy was an ex-convict, he could report my husband and my husband could lose his job. My husband is not protected by any of the unions that protect the guards. Anyone who wanted to could make an issue of it. He was obligated to report the situation. He has not talked to the guy since finding this information out, but now this guy's kid is taking it out on my kid.
Again, my husband did the right thing according to the code of ethics he is required to follow. Why is that so hard to understand? There was no hidden agenda.
Hidden messages in Enzyte commercial
I love those pill commercial watch them closely they have little symbolisms(?) in them, the erect umbrellas in the drinks, the straight pointed finger on the hand, the huge splash of water in the swimming pool, diving in, the wood grain in the six panels when it splits the screen up. If you watch them they are so, so obvious. They crack me up. I know that sounds perverted and I certainly don't mean to offend anyone, it is just a little bizarre.
Look at this picture, the pen, the tie, clock hands are on 10 and 2 as in "10, 2 and 4", file drawers, plaque, crisp white shirt, tight fist and date book, apparently you can can set your calendar to it.

Panhandling fees have certainly gone up!
Went to get a bite to eat today and buy some new shoes and a panhandler out on the street asked me for $100.00. I guess the inflation is hitting them hard also.
We have no fees as long as we keep - sm
$1K in the account at all times, it it falls below that (they average the total and divide by the number of days in the month) then they nail us for $7, but that is it though did have free checks too until last time, noticed they charged $30 for one box of checks (these are the plain green ones). Guess I should make sure they did no mess up and charge me by mistake but figured it probably was not a mistake. We also get charged $3 a month in our savings account but have that over the min. now so that is no more.
Not charged any fees for any banking
Once you get my age you get benefits of no fees. Love these golden years!
Try a credit union. Don't pay fees; use
ajlajd
I have 4 bank accts and pay no fees at all.

Maybe, if agency lying, you can get any fees back

You are not obligated to pay doc fees, licensing, tax, admin
Whatever you do, go in with confidence. Tell them you will not pay for those fees; that is the obligation alone of the car dealership, not you. And don't fall for fees for undercarriage protection, etc. Look at the invoice price....state what you can/will pay and be firm. AND, if they want to sell a car bad enough, ask for an extended warranty WITHOUT you having to pay for it. You can always play the "I've got another car I'm looking at another dealership" card...
Just stay firm with what you are willing to pay. Let them know that is ALL you can pay and whatever you do, no matter how nervous you may feel with all that garbage talk they feed you, come across calm, cool, and collected. If the guy doesn't think he is going to get his way, he may push the manager for the price you are willing to pay!
Also, look at the same make and model online and see what other prices are put out there, so you can go in with a fair price and let them know, if they start pushing a higher price, that you CAN find it at a lower price.
GOOD LUCK!
It really does not matter what you believe...sm
As a Christian, I believe in the Bible being the word and truth of God... and there is a h*** (sorry to use this symbo, but I have been told when trying to post this that this is a "bad" word) just as there is a heaven....we all make a choice in our lives which place we will go to in the end. People will always find an excuse not to go to Church...and that is what they are excuses. As a Christian I am no less a person than anyone around me....people just try harder to see my sins to see me fall. But being a Christian does not make my sins go away, I just have to repent and try not repeat them. I am not perfect...there was only One who was! There is always strife and discord in any Church...whether you choose to become part of it is just that...your choice. And yes, Jesus stands for love and forgives, but he does not ask us to be tolerant of the world....love the sinner and hate the sin. God is only tolerant to a point and then he will punish.
For the record, I celebrate Halloween with my children....no horror or blood and guts. We do the Trunk or Treat at our Church for the community and decorate our car in a bibilical theme.
No matter where you go..sm
there you are! Sounds like you 2 lovebirds are gonna have a real blast. Be safe out there.  Cat

he probably said to himself, "I am not going down no matter what". LOL
I am sure his adrenaline was pumping like crazy at that point. You could tell the entire team wanted that win so bad and they deserved it.
Different matter
I don't think it sounds like a matter of not forgiving him for something that happened 4 years ago. It sounds more like you don't love him anymore. If that's the case, then you deserve the chance to find happiness with someone else. IMHO. Good luck to you!
Why does it matter?
why does your sister care how much money she has? about the husband, Im a bit confused about that one... if they are married, isn't it both their money?
Anyways, I would take it up with my sis before ever saying anything to mom.
don't think that would matter with IVF - nm

I there is a will, it does NOT matter
WHO COMES FIRST!
Anybody who makes a will can DETERMINE WHO COMES FIRST and can cut out anybody he/he wants from the inheritance.
Ony if there is no will, the
state takes over as executor and distributes the assets according to WHO COMES FIRST.
And watch what you are saying and the TONE in which you are saying it, I am probably better informed than you are.
It does not matter which is what!
MY point is that the word
STUPIDER
exists!
Anon said there is NO word 'stupider'!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
A little 'slow?'
what does it matter
My mother is a sociopath, and that is the tip of the iceberg.
Sounds like you have had a very unhappy family life for a very long time.
What do you think is the matter
with these types of people? A brain issue, early trauma? It's hard to believe anyone would just WANT to be a pain in everyone's A$$!
While I don't understand why you had no say in the matter, if he..
is going to continue staying with her, I would just not say anything, because if she is nasty she will end up taking it out on him. Any chance you could move to that particular school district so he could live with you again? Other than for your son being there, why did you HAVE to keep in touch with them? Good luck.
No matter how responsible you are
and how much time you spend with them, you cannot be there 24-7 to supervise them. That is completely unrealistic. Can we take them to the doctor, to the store, to the kids' school? Come on now.
There is a responsible way to crate an animal. No matter how much you train them, my labs still would have eaten anything in site for a certain period of time. There is no way I would leave them unattended to run my errands and chance them getting into something that could harm them. Regardless of the material objects as you call them, they could get hurt.
Also, a child does need a crib and a playpen. To say that those are used so that you do not have to supervise your kids is ridiculous. Everyone has to go to the restroom at some point. Should we carry them everywhere or perhaps let them run around so they can get into something that would harm them until we finish our business? Wow....
I believe a pediatrician would even tell you that those are necessary in raising a healthy child, and I am not talking about someone who puts their kids in a playpen all day instead of spending time with them either.
But no matter where she lives, she is still
just not that pretty and I personally would not want to be her, no matter where she lives. I love my neighborhood and I don’t have man hands, huge teeth, watermelon head, toothpick body and no one has ever complained about my voice. I do not like her show at all.
As a matter of fact, he did.
Actually, a few years later he took the boys, then 8 and 14, because they needed the discipline of a dad. Bad mistake! He'd convinced me he had changed, but then went out to his play rehearsals and band practice every night, leaving the boys at home. I'd sue to get custody back, he'd shape up for awhile, I'd back off, and the cycle repeated until I ran out of money. The boys are grown now, doing basically okay. He's just pathetic now.
My daughter does matter
My 6-year-old values her "family." She does not express her feelings much but I caught her in her room crying one night and she broke down and told me she does not want to lose her family. Divorce is a very traumatic thing for a child of any age and her mental health is worth it to me.
Now, the decision here is if things are dysfunctional enough here to be hurting her worse than if I stayed. This is what I need to figure out.
But the love of my child is worse sacrifying a part of me. She is my world and her happiness means EVERYTHING.
Would it matter that she is almost 10 y/o and not in a daycare? sm
We were at soccer practice Monday night for her and last night for her sisters. Sisters are 12 and 6. they do not have them.
As a matter of fact -
I love making cinnamon-rasin bread with this same recipe. Also, it's great for homemade pizza and bread sticks - and a lot cheaper than sending out, though maybe a little more labor intensive! Worth it for the taste, though. I've also made fried dough on special occasions. Great minds DO think alike!
No matter his age, he is your child, right?
NM
matter of choices
It's not just about protecting our children from being taught something that is wrong, something that goes against our moral fiber, something that this great country was founded on, our belief in God. It is also about standing up for our beliefs and not condoning something that is clearly sinful. You may not believe there is a God yet. That is your opinion. What makes you think that you were right in letting your child watch anything she wanted? So she turned out good. So did my children and they were raised to believe in God and his son Jesus Christ. The only difference is, when the time comes for Jesus to come back to this earth, your daughter will find that she has been cheated by being taught there is no God and perhaps will find herself in some serious trouble.
No, as a matter of fact
I did not revel. I did not know what to think seeing here there saying that. Unfortunately, I don't live where she was speaking and the news channels did not show the whole speech, only parts of it. I do have to say that now she is putting it out there that her comment was aimed at "gangsta rappers." That can't be factual, or if it WAS, I sure did not see anybody remotely fitting that description in her audience. Why can't she just say, "Woops, I said it, but did not mean it and I'm sorry. That was inappropriate." Instead, she has all sorts of commenters out there blowing smoke trying to CYA for her, trying to twist it and put it into a context that casts her in a better light. Frankly, I am sick of her more than I can say. She should be thankful to live here in the US where she got into a great college when she had a very poor GPA, which would never have happened anywhere but here in the US.
as a matter of fact, it's not so dum...
See, the cats have it both ways. They are predator without truly being prey. Plus, their numbers are great enough that it's conceivable they could impact local populations. And honestly, domestic housecats are "exotic species" to the North American fauna, not a natural predator or part of the normal ecosystem at all. So, yeah, the guy has a point.
But then I'm biased, I admit, because I keep my own cats indoors and I'm aggravated no end with the neighbor cats who come and spray in my yard. :)
no matter what she does, she still appears

no, it is not all a matter of responsible
ownership. There have been very loving responsible owners themselves attacked by their own dogs. A popular dog breed can be overbred indiscriminately and ruined. Unfortuntately this breed is too unpredictable. I've always been around animals, large and small and have both now. I would never have a pit bull. I visit my friend less often now who now has one, and won't get out of the car if it is loose. Not to mention that these dogs don't just bite, which would be bad enough, they instinctively go for the kill. I haven't read the link you provided yet, but do NOT believe that breed-specific legislation is stupid. This particular bill may be over the top, but breed-specific laws are brought on by a need, and wouldn't get off the ground without plenty of facts on record to support it.
Would it matter if he was biologically yours? sm
All I am saying is that if he was biologically your son and was selling marijuana, would you be doing the same thing? I would hope so. I'm not bashing you as a stepmom. It is hard to read posts without seeing a person's facial expressions and tone of voice. The original post did not say anything about anyone selling pot or someone else making $60K+ per year, etc. All it said was that the stepchildren didn't give proper gifts and that gifts they were given were not appreciated while nothing negative was stated about the biological child.
His opinions should not matter to you really (sm)
Everyone has opinions - what do you care what his are? Move past it - you cannot change him or his opinions - don't let his words get to you - then he wins. Move on. And don't answer the phone anymore when he calls!
Why, no matter how carefully
I plan my list, do I always forget one very important item at the grocery store?
As a matter of fact
 I will be spending Thanksgiving with my daughter (age 39) and some of her friends and we plan to break out the old Trivial Pursuit! Can't wait - it sure beats watching sports on T.V.
You're going to die no matter what you do. sm
It's your quality of life that you fight for.
Nobody here is going to give you a reason to continue smoking.
What does your friend with the lung CA say about it?
what is the subject matter?
nm
It is a matter of the individual.
For you, this might work whereas for others, it might not. My husband and I shared equally in the housework and raising of our children. It is a very individual thing and as long as it is a choice and not because "that's the way it should be", then of course it will work. We are all very different.
What an awesome post! I agree, agree, agree completely with you.
You are right on the money in my book! 
It is none of his business or anyone elses for that matter. sm
I love Halloween. I love Christmas. Well, I don't really care what anyone else thinks. I decorate more for Christmas than I do for Halloween. There are people now that don't celebrate Christmas too. You know what I think.. to heck with them and ALL of THEIR beliefs. I am going to continue to do what makes me happy and what has been celebrated in my family for way more years than I want to admit. The world is changing. Whether we decide to go with it is OUR choice. If you have fun doing it, then don't worry about what anyone else thinks. It really is none of their business. For the first year in probably 18 years, I am dressing up with my children and I look forward to it (They asked me too). And even tho it is early, Happy Halloween!!
It doesn't matter what century
either. The fact is homosexuality is a sin and I will have no part of any business that supports it.
What happened to things that matter
Remember when everything was closed on Holidays and Sundays? Remember back when there was FAMILY time? It is a shame that you all are arguing about something like this. Everything just has to be So PC!! It has gotten out of control! No one can say anything! I usually do not read/enter into these conversations, but this one caught me attention. Things should go back to the way it was then. Maybe marriages will stay together, kids behave better, people will be happier at work and everyone will have a bit more respect for each otehr. RESPECT has gone completely out the window. This poor person just came on and stated an opinion and was quick to be jumped on! Who cares what religion she is. Who cares what religion you are. Your comments are ridiculous. She didn't offend me. It did not seem like she intended to offend anyone. The store should be closed! I am sure the owner will be home enjoying his family. GEEZ....lighten up and get off your perch.
No matter how annoying they are..be thankful you have one--sm
some of us do not and it is very difficult to provide for ourselves in this day and age. Think about it...truly...what would you do without them?
Well skipping meals no matter
what kind of condition you have is not good. I have also heard that thyroid problem causes weight gain, but good food choices should still override this condition. We all have vices, and we all can have excuses. Just keep trying!
It shouldn't matter. Of all the couples I know currently, (sm)
only ONE is same-race. The rest are white/black, black/Pacific Islander, Asian/white, etc. And the only same-race couple I know is gay. So no, it shouldn't matter in the slightest.
