understand, I suppose their demise can be chalked up to losing their lives in the line of duty. 

I have friends who live in rural area, down dirt down, on very large area of land and they purchased three kittens, which they gave as pets to their handicapped daughter.  The kitties were also used to provide rodent protection in the barn.  Guess what happened to all three kitties?  Well, two of  them were attacked by a dog.   The other was given away shortly after.

no sugar made me feel 20 years younger.  sounds strange but it is true. 

if you are presently on sugar, it will be hard for a few days, but really worth it.  i personally cannot do a gradual weaning off sugar but need to go cold turkey.  same with white foods - white bread, white flour, white crackers, white whatever.  i eat protein, protein, protein when getting off sugar.  fish, skinless boneless chicken, every 1/2 hour if you are hungry. after a day or two, you will not want sugar or white foods.  you will be satisfied with lean protein - the less beef the better - and vegetables.  and no milk or milk products.  sounds strange, i know, but i would be willing to bet my next paycheck that you would feel 150% better.  eat like that for awhile and then start adding back in the foods you cut out.  one at a time.  gradually.  maybe one food every 2 weeks.  and notice how you feel.  your body will tell you what it does not like.  yogurt was the first food i added back in and right away my nose started running, clear drainage, knew that i could not handle yogurt.

that is just what i have done and what works for me.  not medical advice at all.  just my experience.

that is why i can post that i thought * nn * sounded angry, deeply angry.

and it is MY OPINION that you sound very young.  maybe in 10 or 20 years, you will get the gist of what is going on here.

give it a rest.  i know i am.

This is a great site I've used before.  Don't ask why.... But just trust me, I've used this.  Click on the red button and do the free searches by state.  See what you can find... 

I have had 2 kids, and I haven't had one pregnancy scare since having it.  My periods are probably a bit more painful since having it, but they have always been bad, and to me it is worth it for the piece of mind.  I don't know much about the Mirena IUC, but it looks very similar to an IUD, so I'm assuming they work in about the same way (except I think Mirena releases hormones). 

Been chomping on the nicotine gum like a fanatic.  When will I stop thinking about them?  Stressed, changing jobs, being sued, sueing, kid home from school, all alone, gotta mow the lawn, gotta move out of my old digs, gotta fix the car -- on and on and on.  We type reports about people who smoked heavily and then quit 20 years ago.  How do I stay strong?  I'm 43 with a 6-year-old.  Dad died from the smokes at 58.  I just want to live long enough to be a grandma now.  Advise?  Thanks sisters.  Hanging on by a thread.
