In 2005, according to the CDC, TSS caused:
- 24,564 low level TSS (L-TSS) resulting in scaring of tissue.
- 12,056 cases of fertility impact / reproductive harm in women
- 1,564 deaths, with 603 of them even when tampons were used correctly.

So are women trying to be like men by using a product that completely hides their period instead of a much safer pad?
Why do smart women makes such a foolish, careless, risky decision?

You can't rely on the manufacturers to warn you - they make $$ selling them to you. This stuff is happening even with *correct* usage.

If I was god would you know it? When you think about typing that smart-**** remark ask yourself: Why can't this guy be god? Really...why can't I? God is omnipresent, perfect and I'm sure he is not limited to the capabilites of the common human where typing on the computer would be a 'waste of time.' ...I can focus on many tasks at once and I could, of course, take a human form if I really wanted to in order to root out people of faith and people not of faith OR.. my intentions may be even more complex than that to a point where you could not understand any of my actions...Is it really worth taking 'pascal's gamble'?

where as islam is fossilised in the medieval times! If you think beyond the Quran in an islamic state you are likely to loose your head!
How can two wrongs make a right! Do we need to be concerned with human development or take personal offence to the wrong things in religion? Why can't muslims be open minded?
And please don't reply with so and so religion is not open minded either, that is not a defence it's ignorance!

I've tried being nice to my mother in law since we've been married and she was actually ok at first. since last holiday season she's managed to tell me off about my wanting to have children, never thank me or my husband for the mother's day gift I sent her, and always seems to surface and gripe at me when me and my husband have an argument. she used to call my cell phone looking for him but never says hello to me. what happened? and am I wrong for just not saying anything to her when he talks to her now? Doesn't sound like I can say or do anything right so I just don't try at all (without any attitude)

I knew a man that gambled 7 days a week, and spent all his family's estate, and then some., and left his family broke, flat out.

Would you say he sold his soul to the devil? He gambled 40 years, but the last 3 were the worst were he gambled everything.

Or do you know of anyone this happened to?
