  for some reason, when i click on my user name i'm not getting the usual screen (with post history, profile, etc).

  inistead, it's opening up in dreamweaver.

  i'm assuming that simon used this program to create the site.. is this happening to anyone else (at least anyone who has dreamweaver installed on their computers)?

  I don't think so; this has never happened before.

  Why is it calling me fleaman uk? I just checked the member directory and he is real, but not me!

  dear all,.

  please allow me to vent off a little this morning.. as most of you will already know i have a rare form of cancer - mantle cell lymphoma - for which the prognosis is extremely poor (but there have been some people who have gone a good many years beyond the average).

  i live in the uk where, not being a person of wealth, i depend heavily on the national health service (nhs).

  I wish the US had something similar to your NHS. The only way we get deals like that is if our current employer offers a "good" health care plan. Getting it outright is something that few can afford.

  I currently have no medical insurance at all. For me to get it at a "discounted" price (because I was displaced by my former job), it would be over $300 per month. That's more than my care payment and auto insurance combined!

  Does anyone find it odd that they didn't include any ugly celebrities in their list?

  I smell something fishy, and it ain't me!

  Andrey Shevchenko ?, Dimitar Berbatov ?, Don Johnson ???

  Apparently I'm a mix between a young European football player and an old washed-up actor.

  Many companies do not offer it.

  That's why my parents had to go out and get it on their own; they run their own business.

  What I meant was that the US government doesn't help the average citizen with health care.

  Sorry to hear about your situation.

  Could you describe how the NHS works (is it like medical insurance?) and why it won't pay for this treatment? In the US we all have individual health insurance which can be very expensive. My parents pay $500 combined per month, every month, whether they're sick or not.

  What should I do about my brother??? I'm going insane.

  i'm at my wit's end right about now.. my 24 year old brother is staying in my home as a roommate.

  when i bought the house 5 years ago everything was fine; he helped with the housework, cut the grass, and was fair with the amount of 'house food' he'd consume.. time changes everything.

  he now does nothing inside the house: no dishes, no vacuuming, no dusting, no anything.

  Thanks for the advice. Mary, I'll send you a PM later. I have a friend coming over in a few minutes.
  

  My situation is much like Ellie's, but may be a bit more complicated. I believe that he is an alcoholic.

  I'm not a constant drinker, but I like a beer now and then. A few times I hid a bottle or two in the garage refrigerator, only to come home and find them gone. Why would he even consider looking in that fridge? It's mainly used for storing meat (in the freezer section of course) and is rarely used for anything else. I don't bring alcohol into the main house; he supplies his own. Yes, I've laid into him several times and even told him to get out, but things aren't changing. If worse comes to worse I may need the cops to drag him out.

  He's also been on medication for depression. While he was on the meds, his behavior got twice as bad. He would just lay on the couch in a stupor, doing absolutely nothing besides picking up a beer can and going back to sleep. He acts like he's too "retarded", as he calls it, to function normally, yet he can figure out the most complicated video game you've ever seen in a matter of minutes. Hell, I'm a college graduate and I can't barely figure some of these games out. My parents are well aware of the problem and have 'tried', if you can call it that, talking to him, but he just blows up and changes the subject.

  So, before I get rid of him, I think I'll make a check-list and base his rent on his actions. We live on the outskirts of a small rural town and he's gone through EVERY available job that pays decent wages, so he's been pretty responsible with his current job. He knows that this job is it (his car is too ragged to make it outside of town), and no one will purchase his alcohol for him.

  Anyway, on the list I plan on including every chore that needs to be done and have both our names in two columns. Every time one of us does a chore we'll put a check beside it. If he does at least 50% of the work, his rent will remain the same (which is a mere $300 that he should now be able to pay). If his side of the list is significantly less than 50%, then he'll have to pay $400 and half the utilities (which he should probably be paying anyway).

  I don't know if this will work or not, but it's worth a shot. Maybe this will motivate me as well.

  Thanks Frog.

  I did try some of the things you mentioned and things got better...for maybe two or three days...just enough time for the steam to stop coming from my ears.

  He gives me guilt trips all the time about how depressed he is and that he needs to drink so he won't commit suicide. I know what really needs to be done...he needs to be thrown out on his rump...but I'm worried about feeling guilty if he can't make it on his own and actually does something rash. Damn that sounds weak.

  At the rate he's going, he'll never hold a job long enough to get his own place. He also has no friends at all to room with, so I feel responsible for some reason.

  Maybe I need to sleep on it for now.
