About 5 months ago, my mother's doctor prescribed her Tramadol (otherwise known as Ultram) for her severe back pain, telling her that it was non-narcotic and non-addictive so she could take as much as she wanted. She'd been on Tramadol since then, and slowly, her dosages increased. One week ago, she had a seizure, and the doctors at the ER said that Tramadol was what caused it. I looked it up on the Internet, and was shocked to find that apparently, Tramadol is VERY addictive and is known to cause seizures if taken at high dosages. Since Tramadol is an opiate and an addictive drug, why isn't it considered a narcotic and why are people told that it's not addictive and is pretty much harmless when it's prescribed to them??

Red Fridays.

Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing
Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support
our troops used to be called the "silent majority." We
are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for
God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We
are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends,
simply want to recognize that the vast majority of
America supports our troops. Our idea of showing
solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and
respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and
every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a
deafening message that ... every red-blooded American
who supports our men and women afar, will wear
something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United
States on every Friday a sea of red much like a
homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every
one of us who loves this country will share this with
acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will
not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it
will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is
on their side more than ever, certainly more than the
media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can
we do to make things better for you?" is ..."We need
your support and your prayers." Let's get the word out
and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear
something red every Friday.

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!

If you have emigrated to the United States and now hold a Green Card, could you give me any advice with regard to how to get a card, i.e. if you were placed via an agency or found an employer in the US that is willing to sponsor applicants for green cards. I am having no luck in finding agencies that specialise in finding sponsorships for Green Cards. I basically just want to find an employer who is willing to sponsor me.
Thanks!

I have Verizon DSL but everytime I open my desktop IE icon now I get this "www.netster.com" IE browser? I never got this before the Verizon DSL was installed. Why is that.

But, if I open the IE browser with the desktop Verizon icon it comes up to Yahoo Verizon which is what I have and what I want to come up.

Don't tell me to call Verizon, they're no help.

I know that crossing the border without permission is wrong but when people are desperate to provide food for their families they will do anything to survive. Americans are very fortunate and somehow and somewhere have lost their human compassion and have fallen into this souless creatures. I rather have illegals come in and work for their food then provide a bunch of lazy americans with welfare because they feel we should carry them and the generations they are breeding with the same lifestyle. I feel the people with hatred, racism and black hearts are the only people who call them criminals. When people are hungry all reasoning is out the window

Can your employer read emails sent by you from other email services such as Yahoo mail? I know that they have read my company email. I am wondering if they can access other emails that have been sent from yahoo. I am on their server so I was wondering if they could somehow read those also. Also, is there a program that can tell you that another party has read your emails other than you? The company uses Outlook. I would like to know. There have been some "slip ups" around the office and I think that the company can read any and all mail sent on their server.

Is this overly optimistic ? I am all for a bi partisan approach to achieving the best possible outcome. Either way I fear we may be there in some fashion for the next 20 years. Does anyone think we can " get it right"? House and Senate was a tad hard on the generals yesterday.

Look, I am a 14 year old boy and I have just emailed the girl I really like (same age) my feeling. She said she never thought like that and she would just like to be friends. I said ok but inside I am determined to wait for her. When we graduate from high school then I would ask her once more, and that time her thoughts would have matured up!

Please give me some words of encouragement!

I'll explain the situation, I eat lots of chocolate supposedly, however I've been warned by those I work with that I'll get diabeties very soon. I was wondering how the body produces Insulin as well as wondering whether this can be increased/decreased by the body naturally in accordance to your diet and other external factors like excerise.

Yes I have googled this etc, not seeming to get any ideas though can someone explain this to me?

Thanks
