I am currently pregnant with my first child and am doing a lot of research online about vaccinations (specifically, their possible link to autism, which still has not been totally dis-proven). While I think vaccines were one of the best medical inventions of the modern age, I am concerned that giving so many doses (24 shots before the baby is 15 months old) of vaccines when an infant is so young and is still growing and forming their immune system seems harmful. I will be a stay-at-home mom for the first few years of my baby's life, so I don't need to worry so much about the baby contracting deadly diseases at day care or from me and my work. I'd like to wait until the baby is a little older to get the shots. I was just wondering what others have thought about this issue, and whether or not you had your child vaccinated right away.

Oh, I also found out that the flu shot (which is recommended for all pregnant women) is the only one that still has mercury in it, which was shocking!

There's this shy boy that sits next to me, and he never responds to everyone. It's more about his actions.
-I feel like he's staring at me, like I can feel it, but I can never catch him?
-I put my head down on my desk, and he'll do the same thing. Or I'll look at the clock, not really, but by his head, and he'll try to see what I'm looking at.
-Is a gentleman in the sense if we're both going through a door the same time, he'll let me go.
-When me and this girl went up to ask him a question, he focused his eyes on me first when we went up to him.

Thing is, he doesn't respond or talk period. I asked him what "the homework was"and he just pointed at it. It's kind of irritating but I don't want to give up.

What are some ways I can be shy that he really, really does like me?

Hello, all:

If you look at some of the answers to this question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071023171219AAiVU7b

You will see people saying that this is God's judgement and that they are actually happy that this is happening.

People are losing their homes. People are suffering. People are dying. Not to mention all the animals that have lost their lives and are continuing to be destroyed.

How can anyone actually be *happy* about this, and what are your thoughts about that?

Because I am confused! You're all riled about about Government health care but
What happened to Terry Shivro and how you same people went on a witch hunt in favor of the Pro-life let The Federal Government get in the middle of State government and then congress exploited the family and the governor Jeb stuck foot in mouth?

Pro life = Health care for all!

So, whats the deal? Make the case…

This is a moral issue, so if you are pro-life thats fine, but how can one be so if health care is out of touch to obtain life?

You far extreme nuts have nothing else to do but slam people/children/disabled who want to live in a healthy world. But, in order to be healthy (like Terry Shivero) and have all those machines and people attending to her daily needs, you need health insurance… So are you PRO LIFE or ARE YOU NOT I just don't freaking get it

By the way I see you found someone your own size to pick on in the Wilekerson child

All the polls are based on opinions of sports writers and coaches. My friends and I have a beer bet that if the fans could vote, the top 25 would be very different. SO... who's the best team.

To make it easier to tabulate the results, please do the poll at http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/fanrankings/

Last week Ohio State and South Florida got all the votes.

Thanks

Supposedly there are clues that take you to a certain place, where there is a stamp to mark your book, or you mark their book with your stamp...I'm not sure. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do with my nephews.

My school plays songs during the passing period when we have one minute left to get to class. They kept playing this one song and all I could hear was "198.7 its good to have you back again." Anyone know? Either the singer or the title of the song or any of the other lyrics.
