It may have caused some problems
since for years I didn't know to be careful about B vitamis and such.
I haven't been to the doctor in several years and rarely did before that, so who knows? I have issues here and there like most people, but it's always hard to pinpoint what causes what.
I think I'm good with vitamins and pretty good with iron now, but sometimes might not get quite enough protein. I try to buy protein powder for that but kind of go in spurts.
I think a lot of people get funny about eating meat as they get older. I know quite a few men who don't pull the trigger when hunting anymore either. They would rather watch the animals and feel a connection with them. Kind of a short-term evolution I suppose. : )
It is such a shame that her fame has caused
You hear so often of stars with private gardeners, make-up artists, etc. Why not a private psychologist/psychiatrist/interventionist. Such a cute girl and so much more life to live. It sure does make you wonder if pushing your children into these types of fields is really the right thing to do. I guess every job has its ups and downs, but I still wouldn't want to see my child have such turmoil when they were seen as "starlets" for so long. I also think the media makes a big deal out of everything. I don't think her actions are good choices, but I also think every little move the poor young mother makes is under scrutinization by the public. You don't often hear about every day people dropping their kids and getting that much publicity. Just like when Michael Jackson dangled his child over the balcony for example. I have been around people that throw their children in the air and catch them. This scares me, but I never see those same people on CNN that night throwing their child in the air and being scrutinized for that action. JMO.
I don't know anybody who sells Avon, but
I am remembering he likes Curves and he has only had it once.

I use Avon Footwoorks instead sm
I like the Footworks Cracked Heel Cream or Footworks Silicone Glove better. I use it all day long and before bed. It also works great for those teeny tiny paper cuts that hurt so dang bad.
I may have caused my former cat's demise by feeding Meow Mix dry (sm)
It is higher in certain minerals that can make it easier for cats (esp. males) to develop urinary crystals. I had a perfectly healthy 4-year-old male Persian who had only recently gotten Meow Mix just as a hand-fed treat, and he developed crystals, complete urinary tract blockage, and eventually complete renal failure, resulting in euthanasia. His total bill came to over $5,000 - which I am STILL paying off 6 months later. I learned 2 important lessons:
1) NEVER feed Meow Mix, and
2) Buy pet health insurance!
Severe Avon ladies
Not busting on you personally, but I had to chuckle picturing the severe Avon ladies!
I'm a sucker for the Avon TV commercials

I sold Avon for 20+ years
I sold Avon for 20+ years & I loved it when I first started, I had a great number of customers which you do need and periodically would add a few more.. BUT, when I first started you could make some money at it, even living in a small rural area like I live in.. but things are so costly, the books, bags, samples, etc.. gas lately wouldn't be worth it, selling in businesses is great IF you can catch everyone there at the same time, but when I first started if you sold $1000 half was yours.. since then they have raised it (not sure what it is now), but the last I remember it was closer to $1500 before you earned 1/2.. so things keep changing, I quit after I started typing, no time & I would much rather be home..
I made money doing Avon for years, but if you were the only one in your area doing it you might do okay, but I do still order, because I have used their products for so many years, I just can't find nothing I really like better in the stores.. plus they do have great sales on things, I'll not go back to it as of now, but don't want to say never cause that is usually a for sure that you'll eat those words.. 
A time of 5 years should not have caused kidney failure.
This is too short a time.
Did she have heart problems also?
I know people who drag along for 30 years until they finally succumb to organ failure.
cardiac arrythmia is what caused my daughter to do the same thing -

I overted one of these last week with Avon Moisture Therapy sm
and I swear by it. This time of year I cream up, especially rubbing into the areas that these occur, then put on some socks on my hands for the night. I have not had one of these until recently and like I said, I averted it with this stuff. I am nice and comfy this week.
Effexor caused strange buzzing feelings in my head when trying to stop it nm

Bought some Avon cologne Island Vibe - daughter came by (sm)
and tried some. She was ecstatic. Said it was the old Malibu Musk I used to buy them from Avon in the early teens. I can't even remember the name Malibu Musk. (I do however certainly remember their teen years for other reasons).
Anyone else tried this or remember the old scent. Seems like her olfactory memory was really triggered by this one. She spent a long time chatting about the "old days" over this.
If you know anyone that sells Avon, the new Driven by Derek Jeter is real nice.
