I have a large incisional hernia that I have waited a year to have repaired because of fear of a reoccurance. I read 50% of people who have incisional hernias repaired have to have them done over again. My surgeon says this percentage is cut down to 4-8% with tension free mesh repair. I am also worried that this rough scratchy feeling thing will feel uncomfortable inside of me. If you have had this done could you please let me know what your experiences have been?
Thank you very much!

Or diabitees type 2. Or amemia. Or something else. I must have something. I used to be the most productive person... and then 5 years ago I started never doing anything again with my life.... because I was too tired, weak, dizzy and depressed everyday. I have a lot of problems. The doc that I had since I was little never really checks me out and tells me I am fine. But I never feel fine. I'm 21 now, male. I want to go to south america in 2 weeks for like a year because i need a vacation. should i go back to my doc one last time to tell him to check for multiple sclerosis? or will those proceedings cut into my planned vacation? i had a blood test 1 year ago and they said i didnt have anemia. but i still have all the syntoms. i have something bad and its bothering me and im suffering and nobodies doing anything. what do i do?

BAGHDAD, Iraq – While many Americans relaxed in front of their Television sets Saturday, watching their favorite football teams in the comfort of air conditioning, eating chips and tossing back beers, our Soldiers and Marines in Iraq suited up again in heavy body armor and ammunition. Americans cheered and jeered football teams while their protectors executed more successful missions under the blazing sun in a desert on the other side of the world.
It was another blowout victory for the American troops: 31-0. They scored 14 terrorists KIA and 17 detained.

For greater detail on where our troops struck out against evil yesterday, see the full article GN-Iraq-45: War on Terror Blog©2007, ARM, all rights reserved, http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-DfkctJU7dK5B7LcNROoyVQ--?cq=1

These are typical numbers for any given day in Iraq, but the media reports things like "5 killed in bicycle bombing." without mention in the headline that the enemy targeted civilians AGAIN.

We've seen it around our house for months, never seems to go 'home', we've even seen her late at night scavenging. We've got her in the house now, and she's being very friendly, though she is very skinny. There is no collar, and I cannot feel a chip. But I'm pretty sure she's on heat. Whats the best way to go about finding her owner, or if not finding her a home or keeping her here?

Now, more than 3 1/2 years later, someone else is asserting that the war is about oil -- President Bush.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/04/AR2006110401025.html

Did the U.S. invade Iraq to tap its oil reserves or to make sure they stayed under the sand?

Subject: GREENSPAN: "The Iraq War Is Largely About Oil" ... inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.

My colleague got a promotion and her old job is up for grabs. I'm bascially her understudy and I was very interested in the job in the beginning and I expressed my interest to my boss. My boss didn't seem too impressed with me as far as taking over and I figured that management was probably looking at other options, which was fine, though I couldn't understand why I wasn't at all being considered. In the meantime, I did some soul searching of my own and realized I really don't want the position, though I do want the money, and have decided to look outside my department for other options in the future. As it turns out I'm now being considered for the job, I think they're desperate, but I no longer want it. Will it look bad if I still don't apply for it because I'm no longer interested? Should I apply?

let's say you're a christian, and you believe everything you do is being done to satisfy god, whether this be murder, persecution, or whatever. in your heart you truly believe what you're doing is right, much the same way i hear so many christians say, "i know in my heart..." even though there's often disagreement, even amongst christians, as far as what's right and what's wrong. do you still get into heaven?
