And for the record....I am not a Republican...
or, as you prefer to spell it, repluglican...never have been.
There is a theory that
all the wonderfully strong antibitics we have can actually cause people to have a fungal infection start in their sinuses. But I don't think all MDs are on board with that idea yet.
I rarely have sinus trouble any more, and I was on an oral antifungal for a while, so maybe that's why. But I also quit drinking milk because of all the mucus production, and that helped me. Silk soy milk is great if you want to try it. I still use other products like yogurt and ice cream, just not milk.
My mom gets great relief with saline sprays, and I have used Afrin for a day or two to get things opened up and get pain relief.
Very sorry you are in pain.
Just my theory on that...
Most refrigerator egg trays are on the door, and the door is opened, closed, and maybe even left open for more than a few seconds at a time. I guess this could theoretically cause temp fluctuations, variations in humidty, or egg trauma, thus reducing shelf life.
I have no idea. I have acutal chickens who make actual eggs and I've stored them at room temperature for several days and in the fridge in the egg basket I collect them in, in cardboard egg containers like normal people do, or even in empty cool-whip containers! They're never around long enough to go bad--always get eaten or given away in pretty quick order.
Interesting question though and look forward to hearing what people find out!
What is your theory on
Maybe rumors isn't the right word, more like being told something by another person about your spouse, but all you have is what this person is saying, with no hard evidence to back it up? I hope this makes sense because I don't want to go into too much detail about this. If you can answer, I'd appreciate it!
theory
My opinion on *rumors* or *gossip* is that if there is no hard evidential proof, take it at face value, consider the source, etc. Since you did not get too specific about this, I can only assume that whatever this person said about your spouse was not good, so just consider that whoever told you is only trying to cause trouble, perhaps out of jealousy, or whatever. If you have doubts about what this person told you, ask for proof. In other words, put up or shut up.
What's his theory?
What's his theory?
My theory on Locke's dad
We all know Sawyer was on a hunt for the man who conned his mother, ultimately resulting in the murder/suicide of his parents. He then mistakenly killed Jack's dad, thinking he was the man he was hunting.
Then there is Locke, didn't know who his father was then his long lost mother suddenly appears with that information, leading him to his father. His father sucks him in to a false relationship and then betrays him, basically conning him out of a kidney, then dumping him and running. Later to reappear as the man prepares to wed a wealthy woman. Her son ends up dead and he (Locke)rightfully accuses his father of murdering the woman's son. His father, in return, shoves him out a window, resulting in Locke's paralysis.
I think Locke's father is the man Sawyer was hunting and Sawyer's newly found sense of good will toward his other survivors will be tested when the Others reveal this to him and give him some kind of ultimatum... ooooooooooooooo
Just my wild imagination.
I agree in theory
However, the Obamas are not the same as the Trumps or any other conspicuous consumer. As the democratically elected leader of the country, there should be a degree of empathy with the people who put him in office. While I don't expect the Obamas to "reduce" themselves to buying Walmart tennies, I find it hard to believe that there was not some alternative to a $500 pair of shoes, to a charitable event for the less fortunate, no less.
As they say, If you've got it, flaunt it. As the face of America in their position as first family, maybe they should strive to find a middle ground between the Madoffs and those with tissue boxes on their feet.
Well, there goes that theory, LOL. That's good,
though -- that's how we are with my parents too, very close.
Oh no....another conspiracy theory
Is this like Elvis really isn't dead, and JFK is not dead either. Ha Ha Ha
I saw these photo's you are talking about and it looks like him. His skin does not look that much darker than it should be. His face was so scarred from the surgeries and busted up so bad that he wore heavy duty makeup when going out into the public, so when he was alive and went into public his makeup made him whiter than he was without makeup, however, to me and DH it did not appear any darker than it should have been. Also, after you die your skin turns a bluish color which would give the illusion of why you think he looked darker.
As for the medical stuff/time frames not adding up, nothing has been confirmed yet. Doctors need time to go through everything before they make any statements, but anyone who talks to the media about this without knowledge will all have a different stories. Just have to wait for the coroner to tell us what the exact cause and time of death were.
As for his body "bouncing", I have seen plenty of dead bodies on gurney's before and they do move when the gurney is dropped.
Yes I too will miss his music. He was a wonderful performer, but his body is human, and human body is very frail, especially his - he seemed more frail than most.
This conspiracy type thinking also came out after Elvis had died. So many loved him so much they didn't want to believe he was dead and for years and years people kept saying they saw him. I think some tabloid even had a picture of Elvis pushing JFK in a wheelchair and claimed they were on some island somewhere.
I think people should just live with the memory of his wonderful music and performances not not try to start theories that he really is not dead and this whole thing was "staged" so he could go off somewhere to be alone or something (although I am expecting to see that in the tabloids soon).
Meanwhile I wish the media would stop their nonstop coverage of him. There is much more going on in the world that affects us news wise. Michael Jackson has died. Also Farah Fawcett died too but do they give her equal attention?
I've heard that theory before
I think it is very sad when a woman gives and gives all year long, tries to be thoughtful and generous for Christmas and probably every other gift-giving occasion, and gets no thanks at all. Maybe her DH put a lot of thought into the robe, but I doubt it.
It is about giving and not receiving and I agree with the poster below about how this holiday is really messed up. I think life is about giving, not just one holiday, but if there is such a holiday, then one should at least use that time to show his spouse that he appreciates her.
Just a little trinket from each kid that they picked out. For whatever the robe cost, he probably could have found something more personal... he does live with the woman.
I don't think the OP's post was about receiving. It was about giving. That's all she does.
Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother,
The New Adventures of Old Christine, CSI Miami, Bones, AI. I'd like The Biggest Loser better if they could fit it into 1 hour instead of 2. When I had DVR, I could speed through it in about 45 minutes. That was great.
who defends the theory that alcoholism
can be inherited from relatives and renders an alcoholic innocent and helpless? I mean that it is already in 'one's genes', a predisposition. I disagree with that.
But I believe that living in a certain environment can turn out many alcoholics, but it is in the end a self-inflicted misery.
I am sort of agreeing with your theory, but also because if she had pneumonia
and was taking Vicodin and/or high-dose cough syrup, which are both are known to compromise the respiratory system, if this alone did not play a factor into it.....and let's not forget the respiratry effects of methadone. I believe if she was taking these with the pneumonia she very well could have asphixiated herself.
Now, if any of those drugs were prescribed to anyone other than herself and they coontributed to her death, that person will be facing manslaughter charges. I do not see the conspiracy theory that Howrd was with her when her son died and when she died, because I sort of would see that as normal behavior if her was her friend and confidant. I would think it sort of normal that he would be there at the birth of her child (although I do not believe it is his) and with her when she was ill if he cared for her.
Your approach works wonderfully in theory...
but in reality, this rarely works. I have been an RN for 13 years now, doing MT on the side. I do not look at this from a one-sided MT point of view, but rather from a mother's point of view.
As a nurse, you must know that even when you try to educate your patients as kindly and nonconfrontationally as possible, when you start to point out to them things they may be doing wrong (such as not taking meds consistently or correctly, continuing to smoke when they have emphysema or COPD, eat tons of salt on a low-salt diet, etc.), IMMEDIATELY a wall goes up and the mentality is "How dare you try to educate me on MY life and point out my shortcomings".
Public health nursing is even trickier. From experience, even being as kind and non judgmental as you can possibly be, 99% of the time, this mother does not want to be aware that other people know about her problem. Most of the time, they think "OK, if I just ignore it, it will go away eventually". If others come to them and say, "Look, I know you have a problem, let me help you with it", they only get more embarassed knowing that now everyone at their kids school knows that they are not getting rid of it, and she will likely tell you exactly where to go.
I agree with what you are saying, that we should try to help each other out more. I am not being judgmental, but I guess after 13 years of this, I see the way things are and not the way we wish them to be!
I don't know of any nurse that will make a home visit. In fact, our county is getting rid of school nurses starting next year. They will have 2 nurses rotating throughout 24 elementary schools in the county, none in high school or middle schools.
From experience, the Health Department is usually the only entity that can do anything about this. They can come in and give the mom some education, determine why the child can't get rid of them, etc. For some reason, most people will accept that kind of help from the Health Department before they would a concerned parent from their kids school. Maybe they feel like nobody knows if the Health Department comes, but everybody knows if another parent comes over?
You seem to have a very positive outlook on things. Good luck in your schooling.
Rules of Engagement, Big Bang Theory, House ...
The New Adventures of Old Christine, CSI Miami, Bones, Design Star, Biggest Loser.
Ooooooo! That's an awesome theory! I'm a total Lost freak too. SM
