So I donated blood at work today, and when I was going through the pre-screening, the lady said "Oh, your Iron is high." I think she then wrote down either a 117 or 177(couldn't tell with her handwriting) but anyway, I started wondering about that afterwards.

Is this something I should be really concerned about?

Also, I know there is some genetic thing that causes you to absorb more iron than you need. There are some people on my father's side who had high iron(found out after mentioning this to my dad) but I don't know about my mothers side.

Is the test for this complicated/expensive? Is it something I should look into having done?

Or is high Iron one of those things that it's not ideal, but not serious either?

Do think that the person smuggling in extacy in mr potatoe head toys should recieve a jail term?

Personally I think he should be harshly dealt with, By that I mean what would happen if by some twist of fate one of those toy accidentally got to a child who swallowed the pills...

Hi,

I have Windows XP Pro, and today when I got home, at about 10:45pm EST, I noticed my computer had restart, probably due to a storm and power outage, but when I left this morning, I left Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 running because it takes a while to scan. However... When I tried to log on to my account at the XP logon screen, the characters of my password would appear very slowly, maybe 2 would pop up, then ten seconds later the third dot would pop up... even though I had typed my entire password, which is a total of 6 characters. When it finally finished, I hit enter as usual, and then it just froze... It continued to show the characters of my password there, but I could no longer move the mouse or type anything, and I tried waiting but nothing, even after 20 minutes... So, now I am in safe mode with networking typing this, and I was wondering if anyone else has experience this and knows hwo to fix it, or just out-right knows how to fix it... any info would be great, thanks!

I found the Rootkit, It was in my music files. So does that mean it was from a mp3 file? I need to know how to prevent from getting this or another one again. Does it have to do with my firewall, my anti-virus or my anti-spyware? Because I had 3 popular and supposebly reliable ones.

i enterd in completly fake billing information and such, and i am not anywhere remotly close to living in the united states.
Will they be able to track me down and arrest me if i push that "Purchase button"?
or will everything go good and i will be with a free game no sweat?
OR~~ will they ban my account all together from steam leaving me unable to play the game?
so...

Please. I am some what desperate for this song. It just immediately captured my heart.

I discovered it on Radioblogclub.com. It had the name 34 Hope, but that is not the real name.

I want to know the name of the writer/composer and the name of this piece and where I can possibly hear it or download it. I only recorded this short piece of it.

It is in WMA format...pray it works.

In Genesis Everyone should know the flood came and destroyed everything except Noah and His family.You also should know that all the races were destroyed to except Noahs family which people think was white.Now the flood was after the curse so it couldnt be from the curse.But in later books of the bible you read about different races like African American( no offense plz) and I Dont understand how.Since the flooad was supposed to destroy everyone except Noahs family who people say were white.
Please help.

I am getting married and we are having major issues in our relationship even though we are both willing to work things out.
1. His family doesnt like me and are creating doubts,

2. we are married legally but still need to get properly married,

3.he is too critical of me after his family started nit picking with me
4. his affection for me has diminished since we had a court marriage (just doesnt love me like he use to)

5. our sex life sucks- before we were like bunny rabbits and now we are like senior citizens.

6. We are also having other stress factors- he is having immigration issues and cant work until late November. and much more stress factors............


Any tips?

This is my second question today, because i've been thinking about this so much lately, though it's not healthy :(. Anyway, I know that I've never been very quick to judge someone. If they do or say something awful, then i might, but otherwise, I've always known that ppl are different, so disliking someone simply because they don't match a certain standard is kind of odd in my opinion. I just want to understand this better, because I often blame myself when ppl pick on me. I don't judge them, so why are they being like that?

My other question is: is it possible that a "bad vibe" from someone might just be jealousy or fear of competition with them because you sub-consciously feel that they might be better than you? Maybe an ego-threat?

I appreciate any answers, thanku
