I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mother for my oddly longer second toe that sticks out of sandles and peep toes like a monkey's finger. THANKS MOM! ♥ ...

OMG!! I love the game Bookworm! I think I'm an addict! Somebody get me a dictionary, quick!!!!! ...

Hello all. I have been an MT for 20 plus years, yet not being a doctor, I can't seem to put a finger on what may be going on with me, but I do have some ideas. Ten years ago I had a bowel resection for an obstruction and have since developed 4 massive incisional hernia in my abdomen. They don't hurt, but occasionally flareup and change and it sends me to the ER everytime because Im afraid they may have gotten incarcerated. Over the past 6 months I have noticed t ...

It's been in the news here in GA lately so I thought I'd ask.Should recipients of welfare, food stamps and unemployment benefits be subjected to random drug testing? With anyone testing positive being denied benefits. ...

Lately I will all of a sudden start getting cramps while trying to work normally around my knee or right underneath. So distracting I have to get up and walk around but it always comes back. Have tried drinking more water but so far no help. Any suggestions? ...

He has classic signs of insanity. ...

There are actually two things in this article. I am a believer in the second ammendment and a democrat. However, I also believe there are people out there who should not own guns. Perhaps this bill was vague (I haven't seen the actual bill), but I do believe people with severe mental illness with violence tendencies should not own guns. The other issue is the last paragraph: "The goal of the rule was to minimize coal mine pollutants in waterways and would have requ ...

If a conservative doesn’t like a news organization or a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down. If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a ...

If a conservative doesn’t like a news organization or a talk show host, he goes on multiple chat boards and blogs and does everything he can to discredit them. Liberals just don't invite them in. If a conservative decides he needs health care coverage, it is after he has taken advantage of the system by not carrying it; making payments to healthcare providers who are not in the business of lending money, and sometimes he has filed bankruptcy. A liberal recognizes that eve ...

My mother has type 2 diabetes (uncontrolled because she is noncompliant. ). I have been experiencing some symptoms that are concerning me and I wondered if I should get tested. I probably am going to go ahead and call the doctor, but wanted to hear some other thoughts and opinions. #1 I am always thirsty and seem to always have the munchies. #2 I have been having intermittent bouts of nausea and sweating/claminess. #3 Swelling in ankles and feet. #4 ? of blurry vision. I am ...

I used to vote for who I wanted in office because we had credible, responsible candidates - promising, at the least. Now I vote to keep out the lesser of the evils. All that aside, my thoughts for the whole nation on any election day: 1. May we all vote in peace, without threat or harm or intereference. 2. May all who are able to vote soberly cast their vote. 3. May we be able to pull together and get behind those who prevail and make the best of the process, regardle ...

I respect everyone’s right to their opinions. We have a 2-party system in this country, thankfully, although at times I wish it were more, and if we all thought the same, or weren’t allowed to disagree, we would probably not be living in a democracy. This is my issue. When I hear, for example, some conspiracy theory on how Obama’s (or it could be anyone) agenda is to ruin the country, turn it into a socialist state (wh ...

Need some advice. I have a 13 yo son whom I have moved states with a few times. Everytime I move he comes with me! We have lived in Wisconsin and Iowa. He has had to switch schools a total of 2 times. I have a wonderful opportunity to move out of state and have been getting NOTHING but grief from EVERYONE. My parents say I am selfsih. Problem is it is only because I am not DOING WHAT THEY WANT ME TO DO. If this was their plan it would be different ...

Just heard prediction there could be as many as 21 Republican candidates. I wonder how bad they are going to tear into one another. This has, in the past, made it very difficult for the candidate to recover from some of the accusations. Of course, depends on the accusation. On the other side, Democrats, with 2, not as certain there will be more. I think Sanders will argue on the issues. I think Clinton will give thought to the those issues/accusations and answer.&n ...

I'm not even sure where to begin. I have so much anger and frustration inside me right now that I am tense and achy, depressed and sad. I am isolated from adults, only kids at home since my husband admitted to cheating and moved in with her. I do go to church; however, everyone at the church knows my husband and me and it is difficult for me to tell them what has happened because he was thought to be such a wonderful Christian man. Hate the sin, not the sinner. ...

I Submit That The Media Be Prosecuted For TREASON, For Creating A Completely FALSE Narrative About Our President Trump. I Have NEVER Seen Such Vitriol & Hatred! We Finally Have A Commander In Chief Who Is Doing GREAT Things To SAVE This Country, Yet All MSM Wants To Talk About Is Impeachment! WHAT A JOKE... What About:1. You said nothing when Obama used drone strikes to execute people abroad.2. You said nothing about Russia for 50 years until Trump was inaugurated.3. You said nothing about H ...

Firstly, I am *not* opposed to a GOP plan - and to be fair I don't have enough details about what it would and would not do (which I plan to remedy). I read the following post to get more information, but much of it is opinion - or vague -and did not explain how it is better than the current bill(s) under consideration. Let me be specific: OP: This is what I like about the GOP plan:Instead of govt insurance it reforms the system. 1. How is the "Pelosi's ...

could now be in even greater jeopardy of being arrested and imprisoned indefinitely, with no right to a trial? Pretty scary. And note, this is neither a Repub or a Dem issue, this is an issue that goes against the Constitution. Apparently at the last minute, it's being realized that language was taken out of the original bill, clarifying that US Citizens could not just be swept off the streets and imprisoned without due justice and a trial. Now the ABSENCE of that pa ...

I am asking for prayers and good thoughts concerning a possible job opportunity. I lost my job at the end of February (due to my own stupidity) and have been having a hard time finding work since. I have applied for unemployment, however, it is the process of being appealed right now, so basically, I am down to nil nothing as far as a cash flow is concerned. At my age (56), I am too old to consider retraining for another career field and I was born slightly cerebral palsied, where s ...

Well, healthcare (Obamacare) passed. What are your thoughts and how do you think it will affect the healthcare industry from the workers' point of view (not only MT but everyone). ...

This is not exclusively political, but since it pertains to current national events, I am posting here. I am interested in hearing any and all thoughts/feelings/ideas/frustrations regarding the Gulf oil disaster. I myself am stunned that we have been unable to prevent the oil from making land-fall. I am not a babe in the woods, but I do believe that America brings huge resources to the table in terms of brain power and horse power. ...

A while back president Obama proposed a small business hiring income tax credit. Since it still hasn't been voted on, I think small businesses might be holding off on hiring waiting for it to pass so they can take advantage of the credit. What do you all think? I am going to write my congressmen and tell them to get this bill on the fast track now when we need it the most. I think that this is a bipartisan issue that everyone should be able to agree on. ...

I have elevated IOPs and would like to try this. ...

Every now and then on MTStars someone (usually someone who works for one of the Big Two) will say she's in imminent danger of living in her car… and, of course, we MT/MEs are certainly not alone in that regard these days. Whenever that comes up, I come back around to an idea I've been considering for a long time now. I have a few acres out in the boonies in Western Washington and a big house. I divided the house and rented the downstairs to (by pure chance) an ex-ME ...

Pastor Valton Douglas of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Columbia, Mississippi, shares some powerful thoughts concerning Donald Trump: "I've heard too many say lately that we, the American people, have no choice in this November election! Do you really think that God would leave us with no choice! Come on people! Where's your faith!! He has heard our cries! In defense of Donald Trump: Try to keep this in mind, Donald Trump did not steal your money. Donald Trump did not raise your ta ...

My daughter's best friend was critically injured in a car accident Sunday evening. He had to be cut out of his vehicle. He broke both his legs, continues to have internal bleeding and had to be rushed again to the OR this morning for the bleeding, fever, and difficulty breathing. He is 16 years old. My daughter is beside herself with fear. ...

I could use some positive thoughts and advice, and since I work at home as an MT, and I'm antisocial (by necessity, almost), you ladies and gents are the closest thing I have to friends and coworkers. Our beloved cat slipped out on Friday night and we're worried because a heavy storm and cold is on the way. My husband and I are in Chicago. Since I was the dummy who let the cat slip out (I didn't even know she was gone until morning) it's been pretty unbea ...

I lost my job back in May, when I was making REALLY good money due to my boss being killed in a car accident and the family not wanting to take on dealing with her company. I started working for a national and right now, not making the money that I was used to with the other MTSO. As a resuilt, I fell behind on my rent and during this period of time, (was asked to renew my lease, but with all the stress, it slipped my mind). My lease was up at the end of July and 2 weeks ...

1. Pigeonholes, prejudices and labels: It's the natural tendency of the human mind to simplify reality. This is an adaptive mechanism by which we seek to make sense of a world that is overwhelmingly complex and constantly changing. Even our physical sensory organs (and their respective brain centers) are designed in a way to filter OUT the vast majority of the millions of bits of sensory data that impinge on us constantly. If not, we'd be so inundated with ...
