to compare insulin with antidepressants is ridiculous..nm

Do you really think that antidepressants
do not do a bit of good? What about psychiatric drugs in general? ....wow.
Antidepressants like Zoloft can help. I'm on it and
X
I had the same experience as you with the antidepressants
I went on Effexor in November last year after having a horrible time dealing with losing my mom. I was working in house then and I can't tell you how many times I dozed off at work. Curiously, when I mentioned to a co worker that the dr. had put me on this, her response was "oh yeah, I tried that. It didn't work. I'm on Zoloft." Another one had tried them all and yet another was on the highest dose they offer of Effexor. It was like a scary little medicated club.
I stopped working in-house at the beginning of December and was only working part time waiting a for a new full time job that was scheduled to start in January. I think I slept through December. Those things were awful! I wasn't any less depressed, but I didn't care because I was sleeping so much. Threw them away in January and have never regretted it.
Way off the original topic, but your message struck a huge chord with me.
And no, I don't drink at work. I get too sleepy/goofy and hungry. I want to eat everything crunchy in the world when I'm drinking, so I rarely drink and never when I'm working.
To take any sort of antidepressants is
the worst advice one can give. Lexapro and all others are associated with risks of suicide.
Antidepressants help some animals, too.
They are really fun, nothing to compare to. sm
They are about a girl from New Jersey who goes to work in her cousin's bail bonds office after losing her job. She is single and funny and turns bounty hunting into a comedy of errors. The characters are great, the books move fast and you want to hang out with them all!
They are all named in sequence - One for the Money, Two for the Dough, etc.
I can't think of anything to compare them to, but they make you laugh out loud and read very fast. So far, at the end of each one, I feel like I am saying goodnight to a new group of friends. How's that for corny??
here - you can compare all over at this website..n/m
Well then, I say we go for it, and compare notes later... heh heh
nm
No need to compare notes, she is just awful to buy for so
I told her several times to send me a list with no response. I just decided toheck with it and then finally heard from her. I told her NO problem, no list, coal and switches and I really meant mine!
I can compare anything I like and I like, no love, animals
She used disability payments to pay for her invitro, saying she will use student loans (hope those will disappear) to raise the children (that is not what they are for), collecting disability until that ran out, food stamps, a total wreck of a person, does not have an income, living in a 3 bedroom house with 17 people and who brought up abortion. Not me. She should have never gotten pregnant with this litter because she already had 6 other that she could not care for. Her mother (the person she lives with) is tired of taking care of the 6, much less the added burden on her with 8 more. I could care less what the faith board has to say about me. I lose no sleep over what I say. If she can ask for donations for her brood I can certainly ask for donations for my animals. I am trying to help some of earth's problems, not cause more. Forget you.
I don't want to compare war stories, but I know exactly how you feel. Last year, on my way to vis
family member out of state, I was alone with my 2 children on a major US interstate. As we were leaving a big city and began accellerating, we immediately came to a stop. I almost rear-ended a trailer in front of me. I looked to my left and across the median (a grassy, hilly median) there was smoke, a tractor trailer on the side almost tipped over, and a manged Ford F-150 lying across the highway blocking all oncoming traffic. The accident had happened a minute earlier. I swear you've never seen a truck to mangled. The top was missing, it looked like a convertible, and under the tractor trailer lying face down was a young man (a teenage boy), just under the tires. IN THE TRUCK was a young boy who was apparently sitting in the back but half of his body was in the front. He was twisted like a circus acrobat. Going in and out of consciousness. And the driver of the Ford walking around bleeding in a daze trying to wake up his brother under the tractor trailer. Only 1 person had stopped, and for some reason my instincts told me to immediately pull over (I was in a large SUV with 2 kids in the back - what was I thinking?), but it was a godsend.
So, I go over to the boy in the truck and begin talking to him. He's still breathing. Barely. I lay hands on him and begin praying for him like crazy. Apparently, help had already been called. By the time I was finished the fire trucks and police had arrived.
I walked over to the boy under the trailer and he SITS UP! I thought he was already dead.
I spoke with the driver and they were all 3 high school students on break for lunch. He told me he was in BIG trouble because he took his dad's truck and wasn't supposed to. He knew his mom's work number and called her and I walked away as he began telling her what happened.
I was there for approximately 30 minutes. the police and fire dept. were so kind to me asking me for every little detail I had, which was none since I didn't witness the accident. When I arrived to my destination that night (shaking and crying almost the whole way), I looked on line for information and found NOTHING. Still to this day I have not heard anything about the accident. Not sure if the boy in the truck made it, but I did pray so hard for God to save him. I didn't care that I was bending over his body as people all around me were looking on at the accident scene. It's an experience I will never forget.
I came home and wrote about it in my journal and it took about 10 pages. I still have nightmares of seeing the boy under the trailer lying face down first. But then I think about how he sat up and I feel so much better. It will take time, but the wounds will heal.
how ignorant to compare lice with neglect.
It's merely a case of misinformation or improper education to her family on how to treat the problem, in no way is lice infestation and lack of getting rid of them completely a sign of neglect.
Maybe this mom just plain doesn't understand how to get rid of them completely or perhaps there are other things going on in her life that this isn't getting dealt with properly. They need support not ridicule as some of the posters have said - obviously since you've been there you should know it isn't as easy as people think to get rid of them.
the rude thing was to ask if he was slow and to compare him to her "sorta retared" (sm)
grandchild - and to call her grandchild "sorta retarded" is rude too! I think maybe she's the one who is slow!!
Type 1 requires insulin, type 2 does not - sm
that is the basic difference. Type 2 can be controlled by diet changes and/or medication (pills). My MIL has type 2 which runs in her family, no one is obese either. She controls it with diet and medication. Your dermatologist I think is wrong. Doesn't your husband know which type he has?
No, I'm sorry. That is beyond ridiculous to have
your children living with someone you hate and hates you so that they can be near a football coach? And then to have to ask advice for how to handle it that you each hate each other? This is her KID, for Lord's sake! She has him living with someone who hates her over a coach? Sorry, but situations like this are only contributing to the delinquency of this world. That is just plain shameful, and I will NOT apologize for thinking so.
Think it is ridiculous for all of this
graduation for small children, pomp and circumstance, proms next or are they doing those already at this age also? Why not make an overall speech to the individual class about how much all appreciated instead of handing out "rewards." That is why the kids getting out of control, it starts really early, don’t want to leave anyone out and it just escalates from there on.
This is ridiculous!
I knew the gas prices were going up, up,up but I have just checked a hotel/airplane package from my city to Las Vegas for 4 days and on Delta today it was $4,545.81! Yes, I am in the US. I do not know whether to book today or wait until these prices go down!! Anyone else want to join me for that price??
This is ridiculous

This couple is looking for $50,000 to not abort their child...talk about a scam.
Well I think it's ridiculous!
Come on now, they've been together for what, 24 hours, and he's madly in love...engaged! Please... just last week he was popping pills and booze, mourning his poor dead wife. Now he's all snuggled up to Donna, who by the way, looks just freaky to me...I think it's really just d*u*m*b...oh, but it is a soap, right?
ridiculous
I don't know what is wrong with today's kids. I don't know if they are not being taught right from wrong at home or what it is, but it is getting to the point that I don't even want my kids going to school and being exposed to these kinds of people! By no means am I a teacher, and I do understand that one day they will have to go to school, but there is no call for this. And on the "sex offender", it doesn't seem to me that he was a legal adult, and an age gap of 3 years is not all that much. I heard on the radio here about how a teenager in high school was slapped with sex offender because he smacked a girl's butt at school. THAT ticked me off. They made the sex offender registry for a reason, not for little high school kids and their parents to abuse.
Seems ridiculous to me
That anyone would think that way. If someone has a stable relationship then "dancing" should have no impact on it. It's a harmless show for goodness sake that takes a lot of hard work. I do know that, I think it was the year before last, (I don't watch religiously)Kristy Swanson and her partner ended up together and he was married at the time, but their relationship must not have not been very stable if this show broke them up. As another poster mentioned actors and actresses do it all the time in their jobs.
Well, I am sorry that you think it's ridiculous for me to think this way.
Stable relationship or not, there is no man on earth who could resist (Jesus was even tempted!) a woman when dancing close to her like that. Stability has nothing to do with it. It's wrong no matter how you look at it. I'd like to see you give your hubby up to one of those dancers to practice with them 6 nights a week 10 hour days for 3 months straight. Would you do it, LinK?
It seems ridiculous because it is - sm
You are not ready to divorce. This issue has not been worked through yet. You have too much unfinished business with your marriage. You have got to get back to a marriage counselor. If hubby will not go, go alone. It may be you decide things will not work out, but I urge you to turn explore every avenue before throwing in the towel. Then if you do leave him, you will know you did all you could and not need to look back. Best of luck. 
Really??? That is ridiculous sm
Bleeding the beast? What happens to these people's logic?
Ridiculous.........
I suppose the news needs some garbage to throw out there to get attention. This is not a man, but a woman, with the body parts to have a child. Just no breasts. So what now, does a woman with a mastectomy suddenly become a man? Pleeeeezzze!!!! I do feel for that child. How in the world do you explain all this? Then again, if the child grows up among it all, probably won't think twice about it.....this will be the norm for that child.
I thought I would be sick watching Oprah oooh and aaah over this person, A MAN GIVING BIRTH........what a joke!
That's ridiculous, isn't it? There should be
continue to hire new workers when existing workers aren't able to get enough work to live on.
actually I don't think everyone else is ridiculous
I used to believe the same things myself.
As far as having an innate knowing, I believe deep down we all feel we have a hole inside if you will. I know when I was searching and seeking I felt that. Yet when I found Jesus, it was like he filled that hole.
I believe that it requires faith to believe. That is why we don't have an innate knowledge.
I believe that if someone doesn't have Jesus they cannot comprehend all that the Bible has to say. That is why we need the Holy Ghost, to interpret for us. I read the Bible at least three times cover to cover before I accepted Christ. I could have been reading a different language for all I understood. After accepting him though, I started to understand, and parts of Scripture stood out like neon lights when I needed them.
I used to believe that everyone could get to heaven any ol' way they wanted, just as long as they were good people. Now I know that isn't true. If we could get to heaven by good works, why did God have to send his Son to die?
I have studies on this a lot. Like I've said before, I was practically dragged kicking and screaming to Christ :) I did not want to accept what I knew as the truth. Why? Because doing so meant giving up my own selfish wants and needs. Giving up my own fleshly desires. No more going out and living crazy and doing what I wanted. But you know what? I owe Him that. He died for me. And you. And that is regardless of whether you believe Him or not. That's the amazing thing. He died knowing that even 2000 years later people would be practically spitting on Him. (Not saying that you personally are, but there are a lot of people who do)
Anyways check out that site, and if you are truly searching, I urge you to really check out that book by Josh McDowell. Ravi Zacharias is also an amazing apologist that really opened my eyes and helped me to understand a lot. He has a website with some essays and he also has a bunch of books (you can find them at Lifeway and I'm sure other bookstores).
If you ever want to talk, please email me. I know what it's like to be searching and to not know what you believe. I ran from God for so long, but when I finally came to Him I didn't understand why I had run for so long. No, life will not be a piece of cake if you become a Christian. More likely, you will endure hardship and trials and tribulations. But this life here is a blink of an eye compared to the eternity we spend with Him after.
Just imagine the things that could be done in this world if everyone allowed God to work through them and to bring forth the talents that he has given them. It would just be amazing!
Times are going to get hard soon, and people are going to have to make a choice. I know my Lord will be here when it is all said and done. I pray that you will be there with us!
That's ridiculous
What do they expect, for you to call every 5 minutes just in case they come up with something else? "This is me calling to see if you have made any plans in the last 5 minutes." Totally stupid.
I would have to wonder if they wanted me there.
this is ridiculous
This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Mean old people live A LOT LONGER THAN YOU THINK and news flash THIS IS NOT THEIR LAST CHRISTMAS, IT NEVER IS...
That's Ridiculous
Please ignore this person who obviously hates their life very much. 99.99% of us support you and think you did a good thing.
Some people just have no life and this is the only way they can get any attention. They say negative attention is better than no attention, so this person obviously needs lots of attention.
You know the rest of us support you. Ignore these types of posts.
Now, that's ridiculous.....
how does cutting off the outer ear to do with preventing ear infections? The absence of an outer ear enhances the possibility to get an ear infection.
I would rather assume that uncircumcised men miss out.
I think it's ridiculous
to label her as a sex offender. There has to be a better way to handle the situation.
I think that's ridiculous (sm)
Anyone applying for unemployment has obviously worked and contributed the funds available. It's all based on prior earnings and you have to meet certain guidelines to collect on it anyway.
Where the heck does drug testing enter into this equation? Just another way to avoid paying out monies that are due to the people who are entitled to them. One more method of ripping away yet another right from the American worker.
Sorry, I don't care if John Doe tests positive for weed, opiates, benzies, or WHATEVER his DOC may be, that is completely irrelevant to his entitlement to unemployment that he worked and paid into.
What a bloody pathetic excuse to spend a huge amount of taxpayers' money to avoid paying people what they have earned and are entitled to.
It's ridiculous.
When I was in college, I had an English professor actually give an assignment over the weekend that was to get high and write about it. Absolute nonsense! We wonder why our country is in the mess it is in when college professors condone illegal behavior.
This is ridiculous
~ The loser always takes refuge in insults. ~ Really? Unless I missed something, you're just as guilty of tossing around the insults as anyone else on this thread, maybe even more so.
Yes ridiculous
Going to court simply wastes your time and money - the parent, however immature and mean they might be, gets to call the shots re any and all visitations.
Ridiculous. I can't believe the nerve of
Would make me want to take it to the School Board, but I understand about whether or not it is worth the trouble . . . don't know what they would be able to do, but she should at least, at the very least, be reprimanded. Perhaps moving her into the middle school or high school would be punishment enough. LOL!
Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas despite her spoiling Santa.
WHAT? Ridiculous statement.....sm
I so don't agree with you - Had one, got rid of him, don't want another - I want men in my life, not in my house full-time! No regrets here, happy, independent, do for myself and my kids and my friends and family without a *DH* to drain on me any longer! Happy Happy!
THAT IS ONE RIDICULOUS STATMENT
yet again ANOTHER RIDICULOUS STATEMENT
It is not a ridiculous statement....
Statistics say roughly 5% of rapes result in pregnancy...that is about 1 in 20. So, the statement that very few rapes result in pregnancy is true. Look it up.
What a ridiculous statement that is.
Very helpful.
Unreal you are ridiculous (sm)
I mean, really. Calling the mom a sicko - the kid is 6 years old. Some people are so uptight. Give the world a break and lighten up.
how ridiculous! I said living
thing with a SOUL. Humans have souls. Oh i love my animals dearly, but they are not people, and i understand the difference. No, it cannot be twisted 1000 different ways, not accurately anyway. Human babies are innocents in God's eyes. But i doubt if you are a believer, thus the difference in understanding.
That is completely ridiculous.
I'm 30 and my mom (and family) still celebrates my birthday and we do hers. I live out of state now so if I can't be there for the day she will celebrate whenever she sees me and send me flowers or a cookie bouquet or something. My MIL does the same, even if my hubs does something on his own.
Personally, I would invite her regardless because despite her opinion she is still family. If she says anything about it again I think your hubs should discuss it with her further and let her know that she doesn't have to come.
Regardless of her ridiculous behavior,
she sang horribly & was annoying to watch perform. No great loss...
it's ridiculous. they should start sm
taking away from the politicians salaries and all the "pork" and leave the folks drawing SS benefits alone! Its a disgrace!

I guess the devil is doing his work...causing conflict! Hope you have a great Christmas, Wannie!
Please...how ridiculous...I agree with the other poster!
I am so sick of this crap, everyone screaming RACIST if you even mention a race other than WHITE in ANY context. Perhaps it's you that is racist if you feel that way :)
