I read candidates going on and on about many topics that may or may not be important. To me, and many families in the United States, the ever increasing price of gas at the pump may be the most important issue in the upcoming election next the war in iraq. I worked in Chicago for three years doing a number of biotechnology jobs that paid in the range of 25k to 35k a year. however, for many of these jobs i had to drive round trip about 100miles a day with no assistance from the job for driving costs, and public transportation to these jobs either did not exist or required multiple transfers that would have taken hours to complete. now with the price of gas being what it is, i have no idea how some people are surviving and have enough for family recreation. I went back to school to try and earn a higher degree and my stipend pays me more than enough to survive, but every month i read articles saying families must cut recreation out of their lives, what are you going to do to help us?

Our infant daughter was incredibly sick all of last week with severe diahrea which everyone chalked up to a stomach virus.

She literally started getting bumps on her back last night and today (her first day back to daycare in over a week) they called and said they thought she might have measles.

Now I'm reading where diahrea is a symptom.

Surely a "symptom" wouldn't be around for a week before onset of measles ..

We have an appt. scheduled for 4:30 with the pediatrician.

Just doing research in the meantime ..

I have sores popping up all over my body, indiscriminate places, not a rash..itch like crazy when they first come on then stay like an open wound for a while, then they get scabby on the sides but don't start healing in the middle for a while, can't stop itching at night, in sleep... when they finally heal, takes a long time, they end up with like a black or dark brown scab. also, have several fissures on my hands. please don't suggest the doctor thing, dont have insurance yet..thanks in advance

It seems that I read somewhere that there were only so many themes possible for a plot line (i.e., the Love Triangle, Revenge, etc)... and I don't know who it was that SAID this, if it were Chaucer or Proust or Shakespeare or whoever. Can anyone refresh my lousy memory?

I have a yellow angel fish and a black and yellow angel fish. Not sure if their boys or girls but they will lock lips and shove each other. Not sure if they like each other or dislike each other but i currently have them seperated and they go up to the divider and jump at each other. Its hilarious! Has anyone had similiar experiences?

I haven't been near anyone very close. I can't imagine where I would pick up my little cold...

Maybe on the bus. Only God knows how many germs are living there!

How long can a Cold Virus Cell live outside a "host"?

I was lucky enough to find this plant only one year. Since then I have had absolutely no luck. It's kind of a dark purple leaf on the backside, on the front it gets very silvery almost metallic looking. It is soooooo beautiful, and grew wonderfully in my part sun spot.I live in Illinois, I have been actively looking everywhere for it. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it, can you start it from seed, if so where can I get a hold of some seeds. Any help would sure be appreciated.

of course, we all hate people who steal, cheat or otherwise are ethically or morally-challenged. but the actions of a couple of people shouldn't taint the entire profession, should it? it's like hating lawyers, hating police, hating mother-in-laws...

i understand if you've had a bad experience with a realtor, but what about the rest of you who don't even own a house?? what's up with all the hate??

it's monday...

If I met you walking down the street
Would you stand out from other girls I meet?
Would you captivate me with your grace and style?
Would your fun and laughter make me smile?
We are living in a world made for two
Would your sweetness draw me to flirt with you?
Every girl is beautiful in her own way
Could we e-mail or talk on messenger today?

You never really learn anything so how could it be punishment? usually with punishment you are sent somewhere for a short amount of time to ponder and truly feel sorry for what you did. So in that case hell can't be punishment but eternal damnation for not believe in god. sounds pretty mean to me.
