Jeff, I can't remember who the comedian was, but he made a joke about people who recycled and things of that nature. He said something like "the earth will be here long after we're dead and gone". I believe even if they nuked the whole planet that only the people would die. The plants and animal life have a way of coming back even after a catastrophic event.

Do you vote?
by MsMcDucket ini was just wondering if anyone here votes in the elections?
considering how badly that some of us did on that test, i wonder if anyone is even concerned with politics?
do you care who your congressman is for your state?

Forsharry and Oldflame, thanks for your biblical responses. It has helped me straighten out some misleading thoughts. I thank all of the responders that gave their opinions because it helps to know that someone is thinking like I'm thinking. I know that there were a couple or so that didn't, but the majority here did think it's ok.

Do you still think that Satan runs the governments?

by tetrapod.sapien inwell, typically, a born again christina is a guy who is at the end of his tether, and doesn't give a f*ck about much anymore, and is depressed and cuts himself.

I don't know. I still find myself holding on to some of the old beliefs. The other day, I found myself not wanting to say "knock on wood". I get taken aback when someone says "Merry Christmas" or "good luck". I have got to get the old ways of thinking out of my head. I don't know how long that will take. I know that as long as my daughters are in there, I'm going to be dealing with this organization. But, I still will be trying to get those old ways of thinking out of my head!

SNG, ok, here's my story. I'm not morbidly obese, but I ain't skinny either. I have numerous endocrine disorders. Hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, diabetes, ... and some others. It really messes with my mind and my metabolism. It is hard as hell for me to lose weight. I'm dieting now because my previously diet controlled diabetes went out of control after I went off my diet, which caused me to have to be hospitalized (long sentence, whew). Goiters and diabetes run in the family. My mother had a goiter, one of my sisters, and myself had a goiter. I had a disastrous thyroidectomy, which caused me to have a tracheostomy for five months. Anyway, I'm on a diet AGAIN. My blood sugars are under control, but the weight is coming off slower than molasses. I have to try to keep myself motivated by thinking about the positive effects that it has on my blood sugars.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Look up hyperparathyroidism. You'll see why I'm crazier than a Betsy Bug at times!
SYMPTOMS OF HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.
Since hyperparathyroidism was first described in 1925, the symptoms have become known as "moans, groans, stones, and bones". Although most people with primary hyperparathyroidism claim to feel well when the diagnosis is made, the majority of these will actually say they feel better after the problem has been cured. This can only be known retrospectively when patients are allowed to comment on how they feel several months after the operation. Many patients who thought they were asymptomatic preoperatively will claim to sleep better at night, be less irritable, and find that they remember things much easier than they could when their calcium levels were high (nervous system problems). In some studies, as many as 92% of patients claim to feel better after removal of a diseased parathyroid gland, even when only 75% claim they felt "bad" before the operation. Patients with persistently elevated calcium levels due to overproduction of parathyroid hormone also can have complaints of bone pain. In the severe form, bones can give up so much of their calcium that the bones become brittle and break (osteoporosis and osteopenia). This problem is even more of a concern in older patients. Bones can also have small hemorrhages within their center which will cause bone pain.
