Daughter had ears pierced at age of 10. It seems they are starting to tear down the skin, she has worn posts or very light danglies..... I am thinking the gal who pierced should have gone a bit higher... regardles, it appears to be creating a verticle drop in her ear opening. No problem with infections etc... but noteably a proplem in appearance..

so, I am thinking she needs to not wear any, let them heal up and re-do it a year from now or what ever you gals suggest.
How long does it take to heal closed?
What do you suggest?

uhh... yea... if you can't figure out my ignorance in the subject... I am the dad.

Do any of you check the nutrition facts on the things you eat, for trans fat? If so do you decide not to get it because it has trans fat?

*sigh* I get that cheating is disrespecting someone by allowing another into your relationship, and usually thats the end. But my BF is pretty different. When he found out, things were pretty hard, he basically told me that if that ws what i wanted, he loved me enough to let me make my own choices. It may be a little hard to express, but i feel like crap for what I did, and he hasn't been himself. I havent spoken with the other guy ever since, so i've been giving everything i can for him instead. Everything he always wanted from me but it was always so hard to fully give him, my time, my affections, he always did those for me to make up for not meeting him halfway. He doesn't speak a lot anymore, even when we're cuddling, it wasn't like before where he made me feel so warm all the time, i'm doing most of the work now and based on his expressions, im terrible at it. I'm pretty much prepared to give him anything to make things better, asides from time, how can i make up for what i did?

Pelosi opposes EPA clean air decision
WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday that Congress would closely scrutinize its decision to reject California's request to tighten rules on greenhouse gas emissions.
ADVERTISEMENT

Pelosi, D-Calif., said she strongly disagreed with the agency's rationale for the decision and would support an investigation by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. He is seeking all documents related to the state's request for a waiver to implement fuel efficiency rules for vehicles that it says will work faster than the federal government's.

"The actions of the EPA in denying the California request cannot help but raise serious questions about the support of the Bush administration for state efforts to safeguard the environment and the health of their residents," Pelosi wrote in a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson.

EPA's announcement Wednesday that it would bar California and at least 16 other states from regulating tailpipe emissions from new cars and trucks was swiftly criticized by state leaders and environmental groups. Several states have said they will appeal the decision.

Johnson said California's emissions limits were not needed because Congress approved energy legislation raising fuel efficiency standards nationwide to an average of 35 miles per gallon by 2020. California officials say their state's law was tougher and acted faster.

White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto defended Johnson's decision Friday: "He made that based on what he thought was best for the nation in addressing this issue, and he pointed to the really significant policy changes that are going to come through from the energy bill that we signed last week."

"There's always a balance, and he (the president) does have a healthy respect for states' rights," Fratto added, "but these decisions need to be made in terms of what is best for the country."

It was the first time the agency had completely denied a Clean Air Act waiver request from California after granting more than 50. The state adopted tailpipe standards in 2004 that would have required car makers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent in new cars and light trucks by 2016.

Under the Clean Air Act, California needed a waiver to put in place the rules, and other states could then adopt them, too.

Twelve other states — Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington — have adopted the standards. The governors of Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Utah have said they also plan to adopt them. The rules are under consideration in Iowa.

We have a puppy, and my kids have a habit of grabbing a dirty towel to wipe up puddles.
I wash them in warm water with liquid Tide and use liquid downy+febreze. I've tried soaking them overnight, i've tried nature's miracle, and added a cup of baking soda to the machine. I tried vinegar, and then I had pee + vinegar scented towels....very lovely.
Is there anything else I can do besides toss em? We're talking 14 towels.....7 people's worth, so it won't be cheap to replace them.

Are we winning the war in Iraq or are we being deceived by President Bush

If you read a recent statement by Barry McCaffrey, a retired Army general who works as a consultant and makes frequent trips to Iraq, returned in mid-December from a week-long trip to Iraq and Kuwait. He was critical of the execution of the war under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld but sees positive signs now, despite strains on the force. He has repeatedly called for a larger Army, which he says should be 800,000-strong.

The Army is expected to grow to 547,000 soldiers by 2010, and Casey has left the door open for an even bigger increase beyond that.

So, has the war in Iraq ended as the Neocons have been saying, here, in this forum?

Has the Iraq War ended as President Bush has claimed, with the entry of US troops and the pulling down of Saddam's forces, in 2003?

Lastly, if any Democrat or Republican is elected, will they continue Bush's policies and war or will they end this illegal and unnecessary war?
