  this is not an invitation to start a political debate.

  please view this only as reporting on news that the us media so far is ignoring.

  rep. conyers has challenged president bush to answer the accusation in what is known as the downing street memo, widely reported in europe.

  Has anyone had a tonsillectomy as an adult?

  my ent ordered that my tonsils come out, and i am scheduled for this mini-op next thursday.

  i heard that its a lot more painful for adults and the risks are greater.

  the dr. said it is mostly just an excruciatingly painful experience, and pain meds will be prescribed to make life worth living for the two weeks following the procedure.

  I had mine out 10 days before I turned 50. That's fifty years. I survivied. You're very young, it'll be a breeze. Well, maybe not a breeze, but you'll survive. Yes, it was painful and the pain medication, tylenol with condeine, didn't help much, but I took it faithfully. For what it's worth, I'm really glad I had them out. Take care and let us know how it's going.

  it's been almost a month since i was let go by my employer of 10 1/2 years...i've been searching the want ads, signing up with temporary agencies and today i stayed and did nothing but clean house.

  i got our file cabinet organized, for the first time in 7 years i have an actual filing system at home...then i realized how lucky i am.

  i have a roof over my head, a man who loves me...then why am i having a pity party?

  how does the car pool thing work with someone who is going for the first time?

  he claims it is with two guys.

  i have seen otherwise on many boards.

  Tres, I worked for the State of Washington for 32 years. What you've just described was something I learned over and over again. I be in a situation where the boss was great and the work was satisfying, then all of a sudden there'd be a new manage, director or just a new employee whose an a$$hole, and the dream job would become a nightmare. No matter how good a job is, it can change in an instant. I still hope you find a new job soon and that it works out well.

  i just read david_10's thread "my mother died..." 13 years ago i called my mother, after i had left the lie because i'm gay.

  i hadn't been disfellowshipped at that point, but she told me she didn't want to keep in contact because "being homosexual is one of the worst things.

  " i told her ok and have never tried to contact her again.

  Nathan, you pretty much echoed my thoughts, but then I sometimes think, "What if...." What if's can get one into trouble.

  Being at home is really strang, isn't it. My situation is different than yours, but I'm at home to and it is STRANG. I've been studying for a master's degree and working part-time. I've finished all my classes, but I haven't finished my thesis. So I decided not to work this summer and try to finish my thesis. It's really hard to get motivated at times. Hope you find a job soon.

  Thanks everybody, I really appreciate hearing diffirent viewpoints. We've all had different experiences in life, so naturally we'd look at a given situation differently. Thanks to all for your input!

  Scully, thanks for your very balanced comments. (Actually I liked your attempt at humor).

  it never hurts to say that you care (if you do indeed care) about her

  I guess that's part of the dilemna. I still have a lot of anger because of my childhood and not having such a manipulative person in my has a lot of advantages. I feel like I should care because she's mother, but I enjoy not having her in my life. What a terrible thing for a son to say.
