"Robin Prosser, a Missoula woman who struggled for a quarter century to live with the pain of an immunosuppressive disorder, tried years ago to kill herself. Last week, she tried again. This time, she succeeded.

... She was a high-profile campaigner for the Montana Medical Marijuana Act, and like others, she was dismayed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that drug agents could still arrest sick people using marijuana, even in states that legalized its use.

... Prosser suffered from an autoimmune disease that gave her allergic and dangerous reactions to most pharmaceutical painkillers. So she turned to marijuana. When that was no longer available she had no where else to turn.

“She just said she couldn't take it all anymore,” Byard said.

In her guest opinion, Prosser wrote that: “I'm 50 years old, low-income and sick. I spend most days in my apartment in bed, with no air conditioning, unable to go outside because I can't tolerate the sun.”

said he had a ulcer in his mouth and gave him clindacure. I have to give him this twice a day for as long as it lasts. I am wondering how this is going to help when everytime I give him anything he starts to convulse for an hour. I feel this is too hard on him. My sister and I think he is on his way to the promise land and we are putting him through torture. Has anyone else had to give an old cat this kind of meds?

I recently lost 45 pounds in a weight loss contest at work. I won by the way. I don't think I've changed but my husband is now avoiding me. I thought me looking better would make our relationship better. But, as I wrote earlier he seems to be keeping his distance from me.

About 2 years ago a poem was sent to me by a friend stating it was one of the top New Zealand written poems of the the year. I do not know the accuracy of that claim but the poem was about someone who caught a glance of a woman in waiting in a checkout queue at a supermarket and who his life unfolded with her ... in the next ten minutes.. it was quite beautiful and sad... to my memory but i only glanced at it and hardly remember the content.. but the narrantion was minute by minute.. does anyone know it please?

I live in a small apartment in a building owned by my partner, in a rough area of a small city. The house next door was a crack house when I first moved in here, but it was busted by the cops, "flipped", and resold to an out of state man who now rents it out. The current tenants are a spanish-speaking-only family consisting of a mother, father, and their four young sons under the age of 6.
My problem is that the children are always outside screaming and crying, from 7am until 9pm. None of them seem to attend school. They fight continuously, and throw rocks and hard plastic toys at me, my partner, our cars, our apartment building, people walking by, etc. I've tried to reason with the children, I've tried to speak with the mother, but I don't know spanish and they don't know english. I can't get in touch with their landlord, who lives in New Jersey. What do I do? Is there something I can say in spanish to make them behave? Should I call children and youth services?

Ok, It seems that many people are saying the geforce 9 series is coming out in Nov. I wanted to upgrade my pc for Call of duty 4 when it comes out in Nov. I realy dont wantot have to pay 400+ for a 8800 gts and in a month the 9 series comes out. I want to upgrade my computer so it last me at LEAST 2 years. So what i wanted to do is upgrade my pc and then just get the 8600 gts for like 150. Now what i wanted to do is prob nov/dec i would want to get the 9800.

I would get like the Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz, good mother board, memory and so on. BUT I heard the geforce 9 series will not be using PCI Express x16 but a better kind of slot meaning i would need to buy new motherboard and possably memory and/or new cpu. SO if you happen to know anything about that please tell me! IF so i will just buy the best graphics card for like 150 and a little memory and wait till dec. PLEASE give all the info youi can give!

The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.

100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.

The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.

I know in general West Africa but I was wondering if anyone knew specific countries. I am interested in learning more about my African hertiage. Its a shame that I know more about the white side of my family (which, frankly, I could care less about, afterall, those were the same individuals that enslaved my family) than the black side! Any help would be much appreciated!

I look at things with more emotions than logic.. and sometimes it does hurt me :P >.<
but i believe that really artistic and creative people look at the world from a different perspective.. i don't know but sometimes i'm different from my friends when seeing/feeling things. i have a really good intuition and i was wondering if other creative people thought the same :)
