Too bad that all of those with cancer are just too stupid to see the light...

smoke a little pot and - presto - you're cured! I imagine with all of the hippies coming down with cancer these days that, if this actually worked, we would all know by now, but I might just say that to make my not-a-pothead-self feel better about the cancer I will someday not be able to cure because I don't smoke weed, right?

Are you saying you have to be stupid
My IQ is 126, not quite Mensa quality. I find MT work challenging and interesting, and I enjoy it. I'm one of those high earners that people on this board disbelieve.
A high IQ doesn't mean you're called to a career in rocket science. Quite a few actors are members of Mensa (in the top 1%), including Geena Davis and Steve Martin. I'm sure there are plenty of actors with low IQ's as well. People do what they enjoy, and that's not always Einstein's work.
so stupid
 But people will do anything for attention (negative or otherwise). I just wonder if people really LIKE watching those grotesque stories??
This probably sounds stupid...
BUT, my husband is a veeeeerrrrry picky eater. I used to fix dinner the way I liked to eat. I love veggies and fruit, and he hates those things. I used to make a kick-@$$ lasagne with sliced zucchini and ricotta cheese and those are two things out of many that he hates. I haven't had my lasagne for many years, and I'm not going to make lasagne for myself! What's worse is now my 2-year-old daughter is just like him!! Now I'm never gonna get what I like to eat EVER!! (unless my 7-month-old ends up eating like me!) Anyway, yeah - a little resentful when I make dinner and there is 1 ingredient in there he doesn't like so he makes himself a sandwich! 
Probably because that's a stupid comment?
Just plain stupid
I think an average dairy cow produces about 12 gallons of milk a day. I don't think women are going to be able to meet production!
Stupid is the right expression.
I think not many are going to watch, it's disgusting.
Apartment ... okay ... job, stupid
I can see why apartment managers would care, but an employee is not going to have to pay his boss, so it's unfair to use credit against a potential employee.
People end up with credit issues for a variety of reasons and it's not a fair assumption that they will not perform in their jobs.
So many ways people struggling financially get pushed further down ... savings gets below a certain amount - the bank charges a fee; a person misses a payment or pays a little late - another fee, etc.
I can see if someone is just not paying, but when people are in hard times, it's not fair they can push you further down!
Obama said last night on Jay Leno he is going to do something about the credit card companies ability to charge ridiculous fees, so that's a start at least.
I have also known people trying to make their way off welfare, but everytime they earned a little extra, they were shorted funds from their welfare and could never save to get out of the hole.
Our government and society surely needs an overhaul!
I wish your son all the luck, as he, and all of us needs it!!
Stupid, I think they should leave the growers alone. NM

Do marketer's think we're that stupid?
I know you've seen the commercials with Lindsey Wagner, Cheryl Ladd, Sally Field, Marie Osmond, Heather Locklear and others hawking their products, but have any of noticed just how many filters are used on the actor's faces and not on the product??? Lindsey Wagner is barely recognizable on her Sleep Number bed, she's so blurry. Same with Cheryl Ladd, Marie Osmond and Heather Locklear. Sally Field is a bit more natural, but you can still see the difference.
He!!, if I had a filter over my face, I'd have no wrinkles either!
And don't even go there with Babwa WaWa!!!!!!!!
My meter reader is stupid. ..sm
My meter happens to be in the back fenced in yard, which is my pit bull CJ's yard. He is a inside dog but when he goes out that is his yard. Well I put a sign on the gate that says BEWARE OF DOG to let people know it's not a good idea to just pop in back there. Hint, Hint, meter reader. All he has to do is come to the front door and make sure I have CJ inside when he goes back there to read the meter. Well that dummy just opens the gate with the sign saying beware of dog. He sees this big bulldog growling at him, and he just keeps on walking on in the yard. Well my dog cornered him up by the meter and was really growling and barking so I run out there and I had to grab my dog by the collar and tell him ok go ahead and leave. Some people have no sense. If I saw a sign and a big dog in the yard growling at me I would not go in the yard.
she is way to stupid for grad school...
if she wanted a master's, she should have done that BEFORE having the litter. It would have been a lot easier. I struggle with having two kids (11 and 13) and going to school at the same time and having a job, etc., etc.
Stupid question - false eyelashes sm
How do you keep from ripping out your own eyelashes when you take the false ones off?
Just soak the glue off with water before trying to remove them?
Stupid link didn't post, sorry.

FEELINGS. . . SOOOO sick of that stupid thing! NM

to write 'more stupid' is 'stupider' than stupider.
From a dictionary:
stupider
A word so commonly used in place of "more stupid" that it should be its own slang word. And with the creation of this definition, it is.
The phrase 'more stupid' takes more time to write out and is much Stupider then just writing 'Stupider'."
makes me thing Anna Nicole wasn't so stupid after all. NM

New Cancer Vac.
 Frankly it scars me and I have had cervical cancer myself. I work part-time on a onocolgy account and they say it "may" prevent cervical cancer. You still have to screen for this type of cancer and if you screen every year it would be caught early and can be cured -- as was in my case. We don't know what the long-term effects are. What if this drug would make your child/grandchild not able to have a child of her own? There could be and are some side-effects. To me the side-effects sound worse than maybe getting the cancer. I had to have LEEP surgery and go for screening every 4 months for the following year. If the shot had been available for me in my younger years, I still would not take it evening knowing that cancer was in my future. A lot of times these new drugs are worse than what they are supposed to cure/prevent.
Cancer
 I had a close relative go through this and I also did work for an oncology doctor for a few months. I would not do the surgery. That is my personal opinion. It is major surgery and you don't just bounce back like nothing took place. It is a well-known fact in my state that doctors operate just for the $$$$. I know this is not the case with most, but there are some doctors out there just to make as much $$$$ as they can. My relative was told to have the surgery or die. She didn't have the surgery, went to another doctor who agreed she did the right thing. What cancer she did have was gone. It has been years and she is healthy. Why be cut up for something that may or may not happen? To each his own, but I would not jump into this without a ton of thought. I wish you good health. I am also a cancer survivor -- cervical. No more surgeries for me. Again there was a doctor only out for money and I looked for another opinion. I had LEEP the cancer is gone and has been gone for almost 5 years. Did you know that if it doesn't cancer does not return in 3-5 years it most likely will not return at all? Wait and see. I did and I am glad I did.
HELP!! CANCER
Hi,
My uncle has Ductal Eccrine Adeno Carcinoma. The Doctor's say they do not know much about it and do not know how to treat it. Does anyone know of anyone who has it ( it is rare) and any info. you can give on the subject will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MT
Cancer vaccine
I do NOT agree with this either. I lost a daughter to cancer. One thing I learned while she was being treated was that the side effects of the chemo and radiation were cancer. I do not agree with this. This vaccine has not been around long enough to just start making it mandatory and I for one do not like the government making medical decisions for me.
New Cancer Shot
I saw it on the evening news here in PA. Unfortunately, it is for real. There are two ways parents can opt out, but they have to jump through hoops to do it.
Cancer injection
But this particular injection only protects the cancer which supposedly comes from a virus. It does not protect from all cervical cancer. It does not protect from the cervical cancer not attributed to the STD. You are correct, not all cancer comes from having sex, but this injection only protects from the kind that does and even that is a debate.
Breast Cancer
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Thurs. and will have a lumpectomy this week followed by six weeks of radiation therapy. Are there any ladies who have been through this and can you tell me how soon you were able to get back to work and did it affect your ablility to work and focus. My brain won't work and my feelings are all over the map. I'm an independent contractor with my own clients. Thanks for any help or advice. PinkLady
Breast Cancer
Thanks for you kind response. I will get the book today. I don't know what happened to the rest of the responses. I emailed the moderator to ask where they went, as I would like to reread them. My head is spinning, but putting one foot in front of the other is all I can do, plus yesterday I used the push mower to mow about an acre of my 5 acres out back. That did wonders for my anxiety. Didn't do much for the owie where I had the biopsy, but at this point, that bruise doesn't matter too much. Blessings to you for your care and concern.
Breast Cancer
Gosh - Sometimes it just seems so overwhelming. My thoughts and prayers are with you. The waiting can make you CRAZY. Please let me know your results and how you're holding up. What part of the country are you in? I'm in Virginia, south of Roanoke.
Breast Cancer
I know exactly how you feel. I was diagnosed with an occult breast cancer 13 years ago. I did not have a lumpectomy but I did chemo and radiation afterwards. The radiation was a breeze. I didn't find that I had any symptoms from the radiation. I wish you the best of luck. I did have prophylactic bilateral mastectomies 7 years later and for me, it was the best thing I ever did. That relieved a lot of the anxieties. Once you are done with all of the treatment and they say that you can just follow up at certain intervals you'll feel much better and relieved. Try to think about that part of it.
What are we doing for men with breast cancer?

Don't know about cancer or anything, but it does make me

esophageal cancer
Does anyone have any experience with family/friends and esophageal cancer? I want the good, the bad and the ugly. My DH was dx'd last week and given a very poor prognosis. I would like some idea of how others have coped and what to expect. Thanks in advance.
I feel the same as you with cancer or other
Also, I really don't think there are "huge pot heads" out there robbing banks for their next J to roll.
I'm for legalizing it for everyone (drinking age of course). Why not? Booze is allowed and drunk drivers kill innocent people every day. There are crosses along the road in my state to prove it. I say legalize it and save the jail for the real criminals.
I'm not into a pickled liver, so I stay away from the booze. But definitely decriminilizing is better than jamming the jails up and using our taxes to pay for 3 hots and a cot for a pothead... 
Had a hysterectomy 6-1/2 years ago, not for cancer, but
by far, one of the best decisions I ever made. I did get to keep my ovaries, but knowing what I know now I still would have it done even if it meant both ovaries being taken out, too. I know it's a tough decision and my prayers are with you. I'm glad the cancer was contained to the one ovary.
cervical cancer injection.
Me too! I agree with everything you have said. If I have to home school to avoid this I will. It was mentioned that this is being done in case a girl is rapped as well. Well the shot doesn't protect against all the other STDs so why not do something to all the males in the world then so that they cannot rape? We all know that will never happen. That would be crazy and so is forcing our daughters to do this.
Breast cancer posts
Only one message moved over to Gab from Main. Please get your hands on Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book, it will help. Also get other opinions. Perhaps this is on here somewhere but I know you only have today to prepare. Be strong and positive with positive vibes all around you.
men with breast cancer reply
Honestly I don't know, I just follow for the women, since my diagnosis last year. I'm sure there's something out there though. If not maybe you can start something up for the men... Best of luck.
Anyone who has had cervical cancer (not dysplasia)? (sm)
I have been dismissing symptoms as perimenopause but now I am VERY concerned I might have cervical cancer. I am going to the doctor today. But if there is anyone who has had cervical cance before, can we please talk?
Moh's procedure for skin cancer
Pancreatic cancer is almost always fatal,
has already spread. Same with ovarian cancer.

My friend sent me this info recently, what do you all think about this?
BTW, Rick Simpson makes and gives the medicine away for free (he's not looking to make money on this or "scam" people)
Most vaginal bleeding is NOT d/t cancer.
Often it's related to hormonal changes associated with menopause, thyroid problems or even obesity.
It's not unusual for a woman in her 40s to develop irregular or prolonged periods, but you need to be aware of blood loss over time. When my mother was a few years older than you she had an episode of vaginal bleeding between periods that lasted for a couple of weeks. At some point she started feeling weak and asked me to take her to the ER, which I did. She had an emergent D&C and was sent home with iron pills, and that was that. She never had another period and had completed menopause lol.
Cervical cancer is highly treatable and even in invasive stages doesn't necessarily require hysterectomy or chemo. I've had 2 friends with invasive cervical carcinoma; both had only conization procedures and both are well years after the fact.
You're doing what you're supposed to do by following up with your doctor, but until then try to keep things in perspective and not worry!
Just a light dusting. nm

Happy - very light

TLR-maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel
and I'm sorry your mom is not well. I will keep both of you in my prayers.
I hope tomorrow is a better one for all of us.
The light boxes would be much
healthier than tanning booths.
Thank goodness I am too claustrophobic to use tanning booths or I probably would have when I was younger. As it is I laid out in the sun a lot when I was in my 20s, and have the age spots to show for it.
Need some light and laughter.
You know, I have been reading the gab board all weekend and into today and there have been a lot of depressing posts and help needed everywhere. I got to thinking today that lots of things are going wrong this Christmas and maybe we need to reflect on our own lives. I have felt sad and sorry for all the posts I have read.
Mine may seem trivial, but after today's soul searching and reading of the boards, it hit me hard. I am an animal lover. I have 3 indoor cats and have been taking care of a feral cat clan, helping out a local feral cat society. It is a long story but I kind of fell into it. I was taking care of 9 outdoor cats, males mostly with 1 adult female and 2 female kittens (I got them spayed). Well, tonight we found one of the feral cats was hit by a car near our driveway. It hit me hard, even though she *technically* wasn't mine. We named her Momma (original, huh) because she was the mom to all of the kittens over the years. She was a beautiful cat and a terrific mother. She never let me pet her but appreciated me and my time taking care of her kittens. I only regret not taking a picture of her. She was gray with green eyes. My husband buried her in our yard as we were the only family she really knew. My heart goes out to the strays, and it hurts me to know she never really was loved on this earth except by me. I just wanted to post this to have other people send thoughts her way and just think of a cold feral cat in need of love. I will never forget her.
I know it seems petty compared to all of the other issues brought up on this board and don't want to be a *Debbie downer*. I really did want everyone to think of her and a lonely animal in their life whom they could touch and take care of.
Thanks for reading :(
I have to agree with you. IMO, we need to keep it light.
xx
He can light my fire! ;)
The Australian guy that sang the Doors song 'Light My Fire' is GOOD-LOOKING. Doesn't hurt that he sounds good also ;)
Sorry, I don't mean to make light of the
situation from the OP. However, people are going crazy over this and the individual being discussed is not even a part of this conversation. For all anyone knows, this had been handled and the dictator did not mention it in his dictation or has been handled since, so why are so many in an uproar????
I am not in the military, but my nephew is in the Army, and in his unit each situation is handed on an individual basis--there is not a blanket protocol for things of this nature.
Maybe they light themselves, and last for a whole year!
Maybe they blow themselves out too!
She gets a light and the TV on all night, but...
she says it is not fair that she has to be lonely in her bed and the grownups have somebody to snuggle with.
And, shall we say, light in the loafers!
