Went to the doc because i was experiencing quite a bit of pain, anyway, he gave me a prescription and i took it to my local walmart to get. They gave me the tablets and i took it home and took what the bottle said. Anyways, bout 2 hours after taking it, i experienced much more pain, but kept taking them. I took them for 3 days, then my wife noticed that walmart had given me 2x as much as i was supposed to be taking.

Should i let them know about their mistake or let it ride? I just kind of wonder, what if they did the same to someone else whose medication was for the heart or something.and killed them, seriously.

See, i have this problem with my halloween costume. My friends say that i should go as an elephant without its head, and has ears growing from it's back side. But i think i should go as a missing sign... see, i could walk around with this piece of paper stuck to me that says "Missing" and i could ask people where i am and if they find me, to tell me not to move so i can find myself... but i don't know... the missing sign is cool... please help me decide.

In all seriousness, she's very good (usually) but today I left irritated. Stick with it or stop going?

I do not drive and will either be riding a bike or walking this Winter in Western Michigan. I need a pair of shoes or boots that, 1) Will keep my feet warm and dry and, 2) Is designed to support long distance (5-10 miles per day in 20-30 degree temps) walking or hiking. At this point I am going to say that cost is not a factor (It is a priority that the shoe's design promote health for a 50 year old's feet and body under the circumstances) but I am always looking for a value.

Thank you.

...defying the odds. Can you please send me your story? I.E. Who you are, how you cope, what do you think keeps you alive & well, and anything else you want to add? I would really like to offer one of my best friends, who was just diagnosed with aggressive, incurable cancer, some HOPE and positive energy from others in her same situation. I will take your stories and compile them into a book for her to read when she is down. I thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone. I do have an eye obstruction since I was child. My parents never found any doctor at that time that could tell them what it was. Therefore, they tought probably it would desapear itself with time. The thing is that it didn't pass. Now that I'm 32y it gets worst sometimes and is very uncomphortable. The symptom in case that someone knows, is a constant tear fall from eyes. I've seen a doctor in Toronto, who told me that I would need to go probably for a surgery because it's an obstruction that I have. But he didn't ensure me that it would solve the problem. Please if you have ever heard about a similar case, in which the person had to go for a surgery and got better please let me know. Even if there is another remedy to this, I would like to know. I really pray that I find the permanent cure for this long time eye obstruction. Thanks and may God bless.

I have lost literally everything. House, job, car, the only thing I own are my clothes. I had to move back in with my parents and even after all that I still want more. I want to go to rehab but can not afford it and neither can my parents, I also have no insurance, what should I do? I am mainly smoking ice (meth) and snorting cocaine.

I breast fed my baby for the 1st year w/no problems w/dairy allergies; now she is having major skin reactions that are similar to what is described w/dairy allergies now that I have introduced cow's milk. I drank a ton a milk while breasfeeding & she was always fine. Is there a difference in the effect of the allergic reaction between traces of cow's milk in breastmilk vs. straight whole cow's milk???

A female neighbor (whom I hardly know) left several pieces of large metal pieces that were heavy out in front of my house on trash pickup day. In my city, we are only allowed to put out one large item per week. Anything oversized has to be called in for a scheduled pickup. The trash collectors did not pick up her junk so now I'm left with it on my property. When I confronted her, she acted like I was the bad guy and am not being neigborly. She said she knocked on my door but I was not home. I think she should at least have left a note. Any suggestions on this situation?
