Health - 4 August 2006

Just kidding. Don't get mad. Anyways...I have been having a sore throat for about a week now. It hasn't been all that bad, mostly hurting only in the mornings and at night. Today it hurts a little worse, but I still hadn't thought anything of it. Anyways, one of my wisdom teeth are coming in and it was hurting me, so I looked at it in the mirror, and instead noticed a big white bump on one of my tonsils. I figure this is the beginning of some kind of "itis". Any ideas? (I would just go to the doctor, but I am broke, and I don't think it's really all that big of a deal.) Thanks!

My older brother was a smart guy. Brilliant, actually. He has two advanced degrees and speaks four languages. When he got two DUIs during college and then grad school, we were concerned but didn't think alcohol and drugs would take over his entire life. That was ten years ago. Today, he cannot hold a job and literally cannot function without alcohol in his system. He went through detox last year and went into cardiac arrest. He has been in and out of rehab, and in and out of hospitals. Which is where he ended up late last night, beaten severely with a baseball bat. I could go on forever detailing the ways in which he has destroyed my family's lives. But my question is this: is there ever a point at which you should wash your hands of a relative who doesn't want to save himself?

My son, two months ago, dropped a glass pickle jar onto the floor. While I was cleaning up the glass, I used my hand to get up. My thumb was bent under and I was cut. Now that I am back to work, my knuckle is throbbing. Do you think there could be a sliver of glass lodged in my nuckle?

I think that they do this to bring their ego up because they are very low esteemed to hurt ppl like this. If they had to walk in their shoes for one day they would understand how obese ppl feel and it hurts them.The person who wrote this is nothing but a nerd and I could say a heck of alot more but I know my guide lines and another thing he had better take up some spelling and typing skills!!

I drank some last night, stayed up late and slept with my makeup on....but I do this alot and this has never happened before. I have little red dots all around my eyes. It hasnt gone away all day. The only thing I can think of is I was doing handstands last night...but I used to be a gymnast. So i dont know if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone know what this is and what caused it? They dont hurt.
