well, im not open yet. it's only that they have some suspicions. as i see, my sister does not want me to be gay. even though i'm not telling her nor anyone i know she thinks of it. she's very anti-gay! i hate that! I don't want to ruin my relationship w/ her and i don't want to ruin who i am! one time, she asked me if that classmate of mine she met the other time w/ me is gay (w/c is true), then i just told her ... "maybe". she asked why don't i ask him, then i just responded--- its not appropriate. she thinks maybe having friends w/ gay people is bad. maybe she thinks they are bad influence. another time, she told me that she has a lesbian friend and she wants me to have relationship w/ that girl. maybe she thinks that she could change us both if that happens. i just hate that! she cant change us! she doesnt need to comment such things... she should just mind her own business!!!! I understand that she cares for me (often) but she also needs to understand that i am who i am!

hating yourself because you hate yourself sound familiar? so frustrated that all you can do is try to escape and its this vicious circle? i find myself being jealous of those that live in reality - sober, functioning, moving forward.

My children are 10 years apart in age. When my daughter was 6 years old the dentist's staff would not allow me in with her when she was having fillings put in and for what seemed like an eternity I sat in the waiting room listening to her scream.
My 13 month old has a dental check-up this month and I'm really worried about putting him through this.
A friend said that she has gone through the same thing with her children and that that's just how dentists do things now and parents don't have a choice, but recently one of my husband's co-workers told him that he had to search and search for a dentist who actually permitted him to be with his toddler during her dental exam --unfortunately this dentist has since retired.
I know that it's hard enough examining a child's teeth and that kids often act up when their parents are around, but a visit to the dentist can be scary for an adult, why insist a child endure a painful situation alone?

I need some helpful advice, please.

Im looking to buy a new mattress. Does anyone have the sleep number bed? If so, is there a big difference in comfort level between the pillow top and traditional mattress? Does anyone have the sleep number bed and like it? dislike it?

Family Tree Report



Introduction:
“Rosacea is chronic skin disease that causes redness and swelling, primarily on the face.” I picked this trait because it is probably different from any of the traits other students picked. I wanted to learn about this trait because I could get it when I come to age of it, although it is not threatening to life. I wanted to learn about this and see some of the symptoms, genetic bases, and history of the trait.

Discussion of the traits:
A. Symptoms, conditions, and characteristics
Your cheeks, forehead, and nose all get affected by this disorder. They turn red and swelled. Your nose can enlarge and you can get pimples. Your cheeks can also seem like spidery veins. It is triggered by hot drinks, tobacco, alcohol, spicy food, exercise, stress, infection, vitamin deficiency, and extreme heat/cold. It may be cause by environment, disorder of blood vessels, mites/bacteria, infection, or most of all genetics. The true cause is unknown. It occurs mostly in white Scandinavian, Celtic, and Caucasian women from age 35-45. It can occur in men, but it is more severe if it does.
Treatments could be an immunosuppressant such as Tacrolimus.
B. Genetics Basis
As mentioned before Tacrolimus could be a treatment. It slow down record of genes that encode certain stages of T cell activation. It seems like it could be sex-linked since women just get it, but men sometimes get the symptoms too. It seems like you do or you don’t get it meaning it may not be polygenic, but if it wasn’t then scientists would have more than likely figured out the cause of it already. Some scientists are searching for way to find the solution genetically. Sine if them took skin samples and used a gene scanner to identify 21,000 genes (50%-60% of genes in human genome) to study.

Inheritance factors of the trait:
A. The women seem to have it, not the men. It does not show up until ages 35-45, so it is hard to tell who may have it and what genotypes, each person has for it. It is definitely on my mom’s side of the family, because my aunt (mother’s sister by blood) has it too. Also I do not know very much about my dad’s side of the family. So far everyone around the age 35 or up starting form my grandmother, down has had the disorder.

Appearing in children:
A. If it is a genetic disorder, it is likely that it will be in my children, if they are females. We will not know right away though. As said before, it has showed up in every women from under my grandmother old enough to show the phenotype of the disease.

From a friend:

"Living and Dying

If I live my life with meaning,
My legacy outlives my breath.

If I live my life with integrity.
My words have true meaning.

If I live my life with strong character,
My example is my greatest teaching.

If I live my life with inconditional love,
My message is to love always.

If I live my life with courage,
My inevitable journey to death will be fearless. Love...Joe"

Namaste

Blessings

Peace and Love

Help, I am concerned. I have not had a period since Dec. 31. I have taken 3 different brands of pregnancy tests all came out clearly negative, no faded line or anything so I don't think I am pregnant. I have 2 children already and when I took tests with them, they came out positive right away. I have no other signs other than my missed period. But I have been sick, it seems like a stomach thing cause it only lasts 1 day. But I was sick during my last period, Dec. 31, I was sick March 1 (which is why I thought my period might have been delayed) and I was sick March 10. Still have not gotten any sign of my period. I called the doctor to set up an appointment but I have to call back this afternoon. Has anyone had this happen? What could this be. I am only 34 so I don't think it is menopause but you never know these days. Help, does anyone have any ideas what this could be. Thank you.

I always hear people claim that Islam is the religion of peace. Neverthless, I surveyed only one chapter from the Quran (Quran has 114 chapters) and I found many verses that order Muslims to KILL and FIGHT non Muslims.

Some examples are:
I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite them above their necks and smite all their finger tips off them." [8:12]

It is not fitting for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land [8:67]

But (now) enjoy what ye took in war [8:69]

Is there any discrepancy between what I hear and those verses?

When I was born, my paternal grandmother asked my parents to take care of me, and since at the time my parents had just started their business, they agreed to let her take care of me temporarily. After one year, my parents' financial situation got so much better that they felt it was time to take me back. But my grandmother didn't want to let me go, she was a mean unhappy selfish woman, she hated her husband, she had no friends, and she felt her children didn't love her, so when I was born she saw me as the thing to fill the hole in her life. She threatened my parents that she would kill herself if I was taken away from her, so my parents let her keep me even though they both knew what she was like. I had the most terrible childhood. I wasn't physically abused, but I was mentally and emotionally. My grandmother would tell me that the reason I was with her was because my parents didn't want me. She would tell me to beat my younger brothers or yelled back at my parents,

My 8 month old son keeps shaking his head back and forth (like he's saying no). I know some children do this because it's a new "trick" they learned but I don't believe that is the case here. He has had a few ear infections so that may be it - or maybe the ear pain is from the teething?? He has his two bottom teeth (got them at 5 months) and now the top two are close - his top left is so close you can see the white about to break through and there is a little hole starting. He has some slight congestion which I believe goes along with the teething. Has anyone heard of the head shaking in relation to pain? I just hate to run to the doctors without having any real cause to believe he has an infection. He has never run a fever with previous infections and has never tugged on his ears so it's hard to tell with him. And if it is ear pain because of the teething, is it just pain or is it an infection that would respond to anitbiotics?? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
