found in the autopsy and it wasn't. Howard was not with her when she died. He was called by the nurse, before 911 call, and could not be reached. He was not even there...but his medications were.
I have walking pneumonia

I was diagnosed Thurs. and have laid around till today and I feel better with the z-pak the doctor gave me.  I am on day 4 with meds.  I got up and did small things yesterday and today but I am so used to be up and doing so much more.   I like to run 2 miles with my dog daily and go to the local Y to lift weights 3 x a week.  I am no string bean by any means I just wish I would feel more awake and alert.  Has anyone ever went through this crud?  I am 36 and am wondering when I will feel back to my active self again.  I just got up from an hour nap and still feel sleepy.  I heard it takes some up to 10 weeks.  My mom told me it stays in my system for 5 YEARS.  Gosh, she was no help.  Just let me know if anyone of you have any advice please and thank you!


I am sort of agreeing with your theory, but also because if she had pneumonia
and was taking Vicodin and/or high-dose cough syrup, which are both are known to compromise the respiratory system, if this alone did not play a factor into it.....and let's not forget the respiratry effects of methadone. I believe if she was taking these with the pneumonia she very well could have asphixiated herself.

Now, if any of those drugs were prescribed to anyone other than herself and they coontributed to her death, that person will be facing manslaughter charges. I do not see the conspiracy theory that Howrd was with her when her son died and when she died, because I sort of would see that as normal behavior if her was her friend and confidant. I would think it sort of normal that he would be there at the birth of her child (although I do not believe it is his) and with her when she was ill if he cared for her.
Heard about the pneumonia, but autopsy in and "inconclusive".
Still just so sad for such a promising young actor, father and son. I feel so bad for his family to have to keep listening to all the speculation.
Evidently, she was just recovering from pneumonia and had been hospitalized, so that might explain w

judgement
By what I was told by Nicki, Daniel and what I observed of both of them during and the dealings with her mother.

But I was present during some phone calls and such but have never personally met her mother.
You will have a judgement placed against you--sm
for the debt owed and it will be placed on your credit report. Seeing as how you are married, it will be against your husband too. He will find out now. It will remain on your credit report until it is paid in full, and then some. They are not to up on taking things off your credit report, only on putting them on. If you make regular payments, that will be on your credit report as well. If you don't make regular payments, they may place a tax judgement against you, meaning they will get whatever tax refund you have coming until the debt is paid. This will automatically flag on your credit report, as well, and if you ever need to open a checking account, etc., some banks will not allow you to with that on your credit report. They may also garnishee any wages. This debt will also continue to acrue interest. Because this has already gone to having a court date, working out a settlement is pretty much nil at this point. you should have done that prior to getting to this point. Most places are willing to work with you as long as you make the effort. Letting it go for four years will not bode well for you. I feel for you. I have been there, but not to the tune of your amount...mine was only 300.00 and by the time I got done paying the interest and late fees, it was much more than that. This is a really good example of why not to have credit cards. It is much too easy to get into this situation. I wish you all kinds of luck!!!
Well, my better judgement said

My better judgement says to pay down on the CCs.  My H wants to take 15k out of his 401k and be done with it.  He says we are still young and we can still make it up.  We are in our 30s.  I really really hate for him to do that because I see how my Dad, Mom and MIL struggle with just living on SS alone.  Also, it is a nice Band-Aid but if we don't rethink or spending it will be right back there and once that 401k is gone it is gone. 


As far as this house goes, that is the one thing I am proud of is that it is almost paid off.  The only thing wrong with this house really is that it is 200 small.  890 sq feet and there are 4 of us living here.  2 littler girls and H and I.  It is 2 bedroom 1 bath and that 1 bath is getting harder and harder for us to deal with.  H and I looked into another house a few years ago and we were shocked that the owners wanted 130k for a house that stunk and was trashed, i.e., holes in the walls, unfinished projects, a huge mess everywhere. 


We bought this house in 1999 for 29k.  It is a rock house.  It was newly remodeled, it has central heat and hair, it has a big fenced in backyard and a huge storage building H uses as a shop.  We do live in West Texas so I am thinking houses are cheaper here.  I have heard relatives say that up north in the bigger cities this house would be worth 100k or better.   


judgement
sad you feel that way. The majority of pitbull attacks you hear are usually 9 times out of 10 mixed breeds anyway, but the public only hears "pitbulls" and honestly statistic wise the pitbull is half a million times more likely to be killed by a human than the other way around. Every pitbull attack it's always the dog's fault is what you hear & it's easy to blame the one who can't speak for themselves & say what really happened and say if they were provoked, so I don't pass judgement, I leave that up to God.
Not sure if I trust her judgement.....she

DOH! I meant they would NOT pass judgement
...sorry. P.S. Just ignore those who are responding that you are selfish. They have not walked in your shoes!
Yes! Let's start by stopping judgement of the 8 babies!
Some below are making me "sick" - they are innocent newborns stuck in a horrible situation, and their 6 older siblings are probably even worse off. The mother is inexcusable, but the babies and children? Come on, I have dogs but to compare them to animals? Talk about paying it forward - some people are paying it backwards! Open up your minds! These are innocent little human beings! Pay it forward and stop judging them, they have enough on their little shoulders. I'm so angry right now at some of these posts! I pay it forward every chance I get and I will for the rest of my life. Letting these babies into my heart is one of these things I am doing today. The mother is another story, she needs other "kinds" of help. Poor kids,poor babies!
Coming from a Steelers fan, that was bad judgement by James Harrison
no need for that...probably won't get fined though because he didn't hurt the guy...
Don't jump...
Please don't jump to a hasty decision.  Like has been said before, think everything through before making a rash decision you might soon regret.  Dr. Phil says, *if you think the marriage is hard, just wait til the divorce.*  I've been on both sides of this fence, without going into detail, and it can work out.  And honestly, I had the same sort of relationship your husband says he did; we did see each other for a while, but did not have sex, didn't even come close.  Please, email me if you need to talk, because truly, I have been there...it can work out and make you and your marriage even stronger...cross my heart!
get up and jump up and down
Go take a walk for 10 minutes or so. Good luck!
I had a guy jump right in front of me
As if he didn't see me.  I didn't want to make a scene, but I thought it was very rude.  I absolutely hate cell phone usage in public.  It is very annoying.  I will purposefully make noise to interrupt.  I think cell phone usage while driving should be banned as well.  Most people are not paying the least bit of attention when they are driving and talking on a cell phone.  It is worse than driving drunk in my opinion. 
I'm not going to jump on your case about this sm

But I wonder why you think these kids need to be told now? Has something happened that makes you think that someone besides their parents might let it slip? If that is the case, then maybe you need to talk to the parents about it and tell them that so-and-so found out and isn't good at keeping secrets, or whatever the case may be.


In any case, if you talk to anyone about this, talk to the parents.


Sorry to jump in late, but something else to try...
Massage therapy! I go every week, but during my PMS days (and I get it BAD!!) I make sure I tell my therapist (been going to her for over 4 years now and she really knows me) I am having PMS. She does some extra focus on my head and neck area for that session and I promise you it helps relax me more and does take some of it away. One time I went to her with severe cramps in tears and shaking with pain and they went away completely before I got off her table. She also tells me to focus on my breathing when I find myself getting bent out of shape. Easier said than done, I know. Best of luck to you. :-)
I'm gonna have to jump out on a ...
limb here and say that you don't deserve the two kids that you have since you aren't talking to one because of money and you get mad at your other child for calling you and asking if you are upset.  OMG......seriously.  Get your head checked!
Jump off a bridge already.
I find myself wishing that toward all the pedophiles I've been typing about lately.  My heart just aches for their victims.  I'm so disgusted by what they do, have done, that I just about puke by the end of the notes.   As soon as this shift is over, I'm taking a hot shower to help wash away my disgust. 
Jump rope.

Well just jump in there with your concerns..
All men are created equal. It is understood that the "women" are included.

I just want to jump in here and perhaps clarify.
I think it's a common belief that the Catholic Church believes marriage outside the Church is sinful. Actually, the Church labels it as non-sacramental. The Catholic Church makes no ruling on the legality of marriages. In other words, if you've followed the laws where you live, and you have a marriage license, you're married civilly. Divorce, also, is a civil matter that is dealt with in the courts.

Catholic annulments, for instance, do not determine whether or not a couple was actually married, but whether or not the couple entered into a sacramental marriage.

A sacramental marriage must take place in a Catholic church, is witnessed by a priest or deacon, etc. Couples married outside of the Church can receive what is commonly called a "blessing", but it is actually their entering into the sacramental state of marriage according to the Church. If their married according to the law where they live, then they are civilly married, and the Church recognizes it as a legal marriage.

Some people consider it a lot of hoop-de-doo, I suppose. But it's part of the faith and tradition of the Catholic Church, and so it should be respected in the same way that people respect the Amish living apart from the modern world.

So, yes, if a couple is married outside of the Catholic Church, the church recognizes their marriage as legal. It doesn't recognize it as sacramental.

It's a topic that others explain better than I. So I apologize if I've actually made the issue more confusing.
Wow, sounds like you want to jump right into the fire.
I wouldn't do it.  Way too expensive.  Y'all are probably young.  I would sleep on it for several, several nights.
True Christians do not do this, that's why I jump all over them. LOL
A true Christian does not feel the need to preach nor should they.

Only the ones trying to recruit through brainwash do the preaching

Needing A Mental/Emotional Jump Start
You good people are probably as good to ask as anybody although if we had a philosophy board, it might be better. My question is Why? Why are we killing ourselves? And I mean this in the broader sense than just the MT industry. I have an ex (46 years old) who is an alcoholic. He lives waaaaaaay out in a very rural area. He owns his own house, land, and a lot of horses, something he acquired 20 years ago when he had a really really good job. He has a regular income now of about $1000/month from CDs, primarily funded from an industrial accident about 10 years ago.

Anyway, neither he nor any of his friends work. They sit around, start drinking at noon and light their first joint, and just drink steadily until passing out around 2 AM. They play horseshoes, cribbage, shoot pool, shoot the breeze, joy ride, poach deer, etc. His house is kind of a dump (jiggle the toilet handle, turn on the tub water with pliers, no windows that open) and lots of projects undertaken while drunk, some done, many half finished. As they say, the Lord provides for fools and drunks, and that seems to be the case here, as he never goes hungry, has never had to do without his vices because of money, etc. Somehow, something always falls into his lap when he needs it, and I'm not talking $20...he'll rent a chunk of land to a farmer for several K and gets all caught up, or he sells some old fencing and gets a grand. He bought a couple of timeshares years and years ago so he takes these great vacations a couple of times a year where the lodging is only $150/week.

I had to leave because I just couldn't stand the lifestyle (I don't drink, smoke pot, or shoot pool), but I'm wondering why. I'm killing myself working 2 jobs to keep the roof over my head and maintain even a meager quality of life, and while I don't have the drunken projects he does, my house is no palace. If it weren't for my kids chipping in and helping, my car would have been reclaimed by the finance company a couple months ago.

So I'm having a hard time hanging on to my motivation lately. There's probably some jealousy involved, but it's also making me wonder why I bother. If I really wanted to, he would probably take me back and there are moments that I wonder 'Why not?'. What is wrong with the way he is living? Footloose and fancy free without a care in the world?

How do you find the strength/will to go on plugging away when it would be so easy to fall into the idiot/drunk category and just the Lord take care of everyday existence like he does for the ex?
Also to YOU: Fead the whole thread. Do not jump in in the middle of a thread:
You will experience the bad side effects of Xanax, when you try to stop the intake of Xanax. Honestly, don't you notice that you are increasing the dosage on your own?

It is not a sleeping pill, it is an anxiolytic, it is supposed to lessen anxiety.
What are you so anxious about?

Try not to take it this evening, you'll see that you cannot or don't want to.
It is a highly addictive drug.

Another addicted person?
