My wife and I have heard two different things on this. We have had indoor cats for a few years and are thinking about having children. She wants the cats gone because she says that kitty litter/urine is toxic to babies/humans. And all that I have heard is that the clumpable kitty litter is toxic to cats because of the sodium bentonite and the clay dust that gets into their lungs.

Can anyone help us with this? We would appreciate any and all feedback that you have concerning this matter. Also please include any links to websites if you have any.

Thank-you!

I'm in real pain, the left side of my face has puffed up and yesterday, I bought 'sinex' when I used it, I felt like my head was going to explode!
Thick, dark green mucous discharging from left nostril and really bad head and face pain. Tears from my eye...
What can I do apart from popping painkillers? Talk about 'Face-ache' OUCH!!

Hello, I recently had the chance to be acquainted with an 83 year old person. His health condition prohibits him from walking for long periods, and even standing for a short length of time causes him discomfort. He uses a cane when walking, and he walks at a snail's pace. He can see, but not very well. He is very lonely, has no other relatives to visit him, is often low in spirits, and is currently confined to the quarters of the Jesuit community where he is a retired priest.
I plan to visit him often in the future, and would also like to cheer him up. So my question is this, how do I cheer up a person such as my friend here? Is there anything I can do to at least drag him out of the monotonous life he's living? He's no crank, that's one of his qualities. Last week I went there, we mostly ran out of topics to talk about, and it got embarrassing. We can't talk about the same things over and over everytime I go there, that's for sure. Guys, I need your help, any suggestions?

This morning I got up and started coughing. I thought I was tasting blood a little bit in my throat but I thought maybe I just had a sore lip that was making me taste a little blood. I coughed quite a bit as I got up and coughed up a little phlegm that was clear with a little mucous in it. Then I had one final big cough that resulted in my spitting up a little blood. It was more like spit that was tinged with some blood. It wasn't pure blood or anything. It was bright red. I wonder if my throat is just irritated or if my sinuses could be playing a part. I have been coughing up a lot of clear spit. My throat does feel a little scratchy.

Or arrange treatments through your doctor? NHS - or does it cost a lot? If it does work, by how much could a person grow? What age would they have to be or under?

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure what to do about my life... I'm so sickly, it's disgusting... my body is a waif, I'm almost dead, and I fear I only have a day or two left to live. What can I do to hold on? I am not consciously thinking about suicide, not even musing it, Im only feeling like there's no other escape but death -- inescapable yet I feel like I have so much more to live for.

I'm bulimic, I've mentioned it before and I'll say it again: I'm bulimic, I'm sick, I need help. I can't get help, the system has worked against me -- someone who is pro-active, and wanting help... I don't want to die, in fact I want to live without being mired in sickness... I want to live... please help me, what can I do?

I'm 20 years old, soon to turn 21, on the edge of death, the brink, the final end... I'm 105 lbs at 5'10". I'm going to die if I can't get help in the next 24 hours.

Please... please... what can I do? I need some alternatives to this lifestyle, or I'm afraid I will die soon.

My daughter is 9 years old and has had strep twice in the last two months. She had her tonsils taken out a couple of years ago for this reason. She has had a low grade fever for atleast a month. She is tired and isnt eating well. I took her to the doctor because of a swollen, painful lymph node under the right side of her jaw closest to her ear. He stated its just that her little system has been working overtime, with her having strep twice in two months and now she has bronchitis. Does that make sense or do you think that he is just guessing?????? Please help!!!!

Would you use an environmentally friendly, packaging free supermarket?
i.e. one where you brought in your old coffee jars, detergent bottles, egg boxes, washing powder boxes etc etc and had them filled up. It wouldn't sell everything, but most of what you need. If you had no container, it would be supplied in a paper bag, or in a container you could re-use next time. Products would be the same trusted brand names that are sold everywhere else, not cheaper, inferior versions.
Concerns about food in tamper-free containers would be addressed.
Please answer honestly as I'm opening this shop next year, and this is my paper-free, environmentally friendly market research! (Well, it's relatively green compared with mailshots, paper surveys etc..)

Hi

I have already asked similar questions but i am quite worried.

I have been taking 5mg of diazepam a day now for a back problem.

I know that one of the uses of this drug is to relieve anxiety but recently I seem to be more anxious than I have ever been, sometimes about the craziest of things. I recently lost my dog in a tragic accident and since then my anxiety levels are much worse. I have read that you should not take diazepam after a bereavement.

Can long term use even at a low level cause any chemical imbalances in the brain.
