I sweat out all of my hormones at the end of my cycle every month. For those few days, I will go through 3 different pair of pajamas and several towels to cover up the literally human outlined soaking wet spot on the bed. My 2 pillows get flipped over so I have 4 dry sides. It's ridiculous the amount of laundry I go through on those 3 nights.

Then my hormones are all gone for the month and shark week begins, for which I am ever so grateful.

If it happened more often than that, I'd be extremely miserable.

A lot of times things change when kids are involved and there is huge pressure to get them involved and indoctrinated while they are young

sign up deadline is the 31st, in a couple of days.

if you have problems with the website and youve been there before, try cleaning out your cookies and cache, then restart your computer.

that worked for me.

7 million have signed up for the ACA, matching original projections.

I have been able to keep my private insurance, but it is a benefit of my husband's job. I have a preexisting condition, so it is nice to know that insurance is available if I ever need it.

And, you young people who are thinking of skipping it altogether, think about how one car accident could have you owing tens of thousands in medical bills. You would never get established in life

True, it's a conservative idea (thanks Mitt Romney) and single payer would be better since it would be available and affordable to everyone, but this is the best start that could be negotiated politically.

Strong, odd and weird opinions on my brothers anniversary

by usualusername in

today my brother a non witness gave me a phone call.. .

he spoke about this, that and the other.

he then said that my oldest brother (an elder) was having his 25th wedding anniversary.

I'd be damned if I'd attend. If he can't bother to invite you himself, then why would he be surprised that you didn't show up?

I'm really big on forcing family members to follow normal social conventions. If they can't bother, then I can't bother.

First indisputable link between aluminum and alzheimer's

by EndofMysteries in

elevated brain aluminium, early onset alzheimer's disease in an individual occupationally exposed to aluminiumdate:february 12, 2014 source:keele university summary:research has shown for the first time that an individual who was exposed to aluminum at work and died of alzheimers disease had high levels of aluminum in the brain.

while aluminum is a known neurotoxin and occupational exposure to aluminum has been implicated in neurological disease, including alzheimers disease, this finding is believed to be the first record of a direct link between alzheimers disease and elevated brain aluminum following occupational exposure to the metal.

Unfortunately this is only one case study. It can show correlation but not causation.

What is needed is a statistically significant number of people and a carefully designed study that controls for (rules out) other factors.

More research needed.

I never knew they ever had assemblies in Baltimore. Memorial Stadium was torn down years ago.

And the average hours for publishers in 1948 was about 14. No wonder they started to whine about getting in at least 10 hours a month.

Why is it so hard to deconvert the JDubs?

by alonein321 in

i was watching this q & a by peter boghossian (autor of the book a manual for creating atheists) on youtube:.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zksbmdcczvu .

around 17:15 min, he explains that there are difficulty levels when it comes to religions in aplying these techniques.

Nice thoughts, DATA DOG. I think you have hit the nail on the head.

The GB are the only channel. Says who? The GB!

And that closed system of logic won't let any other thoughts in.

"You must work hard"

by Separation of Powers in

had the opportunity or should i say "chore" to goto the ca a couple weeks back...haven't had the chance to post this... do giving the final talk about "work," you know, "god and christ keep working and so should you..." what kinda blew my mind is the co gives the talk before him and says, "i know you are tired, tired of this system of things, but we can keep going can't we?

we know it's just around the corner.

" the brothers all clap, cause he's like an old grandpa type...the do then comes up and starts talking about how much people are slowing down, he talks about the "snares" that satan is using and the need to keep busy, he then states, "brothers, you must work hard.
