Just saw a report on news where they listed it as a dangerous drug

Posted By: Darva on 2007-06-15
In Reply to: Any side effects? Can you take this stuff with caffeine? nm - Wantin' to know

apparently caused something that looked like malignant polyps in the colon but other than that, people told not to take it on a first date, not good idea and you should maybe, starting to take for first time, wear dark pants. I guess that is so the orange diarrhea won't show through so much.

According to news report today......sm
the reason it didn't pop up was because the system is not integrated and so this info would not have been found. I find it weird and scary that the state of Virginia found this man mentally ill and as a threat to himself and OTHERS, and STILL the system just let him walk off and back into the university system without any follow up on him.
Thanks, tried the ones you have listed
believe me, I have tried and did find some at the replacement place, but no one seems to have a gravy boat to match my China and I have looked at similar patterns as well thinking might be able to pull it off. I got a full set for 8 everything for $50.00 off Craigs List and it is beautiful, now just gotta get the final thing that I need. Will check out Michaels today.
yes to all listed here, plus
when someone says "that just happened to he and I". AAAGH. If they are not sure, why not just say "us"? And the ever popular "I seen you called". Foot stomper, I just cringe all over. My old English teachers would be so proud!
There was no name listed at all on his policy
Out of his wife, his children (2, me being 1 of those) I was the only living child. When I was contacted about the policy, I was told they would try and find the heirs (my brothers 2 children who then would half my brother's share as brother had died in 1973). My father died in 2004. These children were not located by the insurance company in a year and they sent me the balance. I knew they were entitled to the other half as my brother's heirs but not found. Probably good thing in the long run, sometimes others in charge know because both children were druggies, in trouble with the law (girl 37, died in 2007)and had they been found, might have caused their demise earlier than real life did. Father's estate not probated as he wanted to give most everything away prior, had all arrangements made as far as his funeral down to having things paid for and even the music selected.
No names, none at all listed.
My brother and I were kids ourselves then but even his wife (stepmom to me) not listed.
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

No, talking about when they are listed with numbers.
But I don't like this:

PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
*Is* significant for hypertension....

LOL
Not listed, but Wilmington NC is great.
Goldsboro is where my sister went to school for dental hygiene. It was major culture shock for her. She couldn't wait to get out. I guess she thought it was small, old-fashioned-town snooty and backward.
I don't really see how any of those categories listed mean "filth," per se. sm
Frankly, with just the categorical totals listed and no specifics, I'm rather skeptical of the findings.

In any case, I think that, if anything, it says that moviegoers prefer fantasy over reality (which those "filth" categories certainly portray), and is that really any surprise as a reason for going to a film?
Those companies you listed at non profits

All of those companies you listed are non profits as described and accepted by the IRS.


I'm afraid you're going to be out of luck with your animal rescue lady, unless she reorganizes as a non profit, or makes you officially part of the company.


But, DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.  Check with your tax person, or if you can't reach her, find another tax person.  Call H&R Block.  There may be some loopholes that you can use to get the deduction.


 


Go to jello.com and see if it's listed there. Good luck! nm

Birth records are public but are listed under
child's name - not parents - so not sure you could find out this way.
Son's HS grad program listed the "Class Moto."

Ugh!


We never go anywhere either. too dangerous!
my sympathies about your hubby :(
Yes, very dangerous...sm
I haven't even thought about getting her a helmet yet because she's only 9 months old.  I didn't realize I would have to worry about her being on anything this dangerous already!  It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me.  My brother-in-law has a 15-month-old who he takes on the riding lawnmower with him while he's mowing the lawn, and they don't understand why I need to have someone watch my daughter while I'm mowing the lawn!  I know they think I'm overprotective, but that's ok I guess. 
Oh, sorry, misunderstood. Listed under social hx, no mention of a health concern. (NM)

oh how I know - they are the most dangerous gang

most dangerous gang here in America - the world has become a very dangerous place....all some of us wanted was peace and love an all we got was guns, terrorism, gangs, death, and more destruction!


makes me VERY ILL..........


Oh Yea I SURE HAVE!! Equally as DANGEROUS!!
       
Why trampolines are dangerous ...
New hazard of trampolines discovered in Wisconsin.
And I don’t think it is dangerous just to travel, sm
If I had waited for a Starbuck I might never had a trip before. Believe it or not, never remember seeing 1 anywhere I traveled. Your response is strange.
Speaking of dangerous LIARS
Have you made note of the people running OUR country into the ground - while killing with abandon in Iraq, etc., ad nauseam?
Banging his head could be dangerous...

My son did that a couple of times when he was about 3, and I was telling a guy at work about it.  He said his girlfriend's son did that all the time and actually got brain damage from it, which really freaked me out.  The next time he did it I just got down on my knees right in his face and told him verrrry seriously that he could really hurt himself doing that and let him know it was unacceptable.  He must have sensed something in my tone, because he's never done it since!


It sounds like he just needs to figure out a better way to manage his anger.  Maybe buy a book about how to help kids deal with outbursts or get him a couple of counseling sessions?  Does he ever express what is making him so mad verbally to you so that he can vent?  It sounds like he may just need to get it all out, and instead of doing it in a healthy way he hurts himself, so maybe that anger could just be redirected.


Maybe you could also explain to him that everybody learns new stuff.  Tell him if he doesn't let people teach him he will only be as smart as a 5-year-old his whole life!  Tell him he's smart for a 5-year-old but no one is going to want to hire someone with a kindergarten education!  I don't know if he will understand those exact words, but just try to get the point across to him that even adults learn new things every day and that's what makes us smarter.  Tell him to at least watch the way you do it and consider doing it your way.  Maybe if he knows he has a choice to do it your way or his way he will feel better.  Kids want choices too, I guess.  I don't know for sure, so like I said - I would try to find a book on the subject too or something.  Good luck! Before I had kids I had no idea how smart and sly you have to be to constantly figure them out!


Some people are just not aware how dangerous
it is. I tried to talk with my sister-in-law about her husband (the half-brother of my husband). She has worked in the medical field. I was so sorry my words not heeded. I have been around him, seen him falling asleep just sitting down, the wreck, even out of town with my husband 1 night my DH told me about his horrible snoring, he is overweight but diabetic too and does not pay much attention to that. You cannot help where they don’t want it.
I think it is a dangerous thing to do for several reasons.
First, it shows the employer that the employee is not responsible with their finances. Creates a feeling of always desperate and can never get enough.

Secondly, how can one ever possibly try to hold to a budget with constant borrowing from the future? You can never, ever borrow your way out of debt.

Sad.
facebook dangerous in my mind sm
Friends invite friends who invite "friends only" until there are people from all over on what is supposed to be my "family space" according to one family member. Never place a full-face picture on there as they can lift it and put it on a phony license, etc. My son had his identity stolen, had to take time out of work, travel to the city where the crime was originated and go to court. My son is Caucasian, the other person was not, it was horrific! I also do not like other family members posting pics of me and my family on there at every family function under their "family and stuff" albums. I am so sick and tired of preaching - nobody listens, they love the attention, they post every move they are making during the day which to me is sooo ridiculous! I feel the same about Twitter and My Space. I vote hands down.
Borax washing powder is not dangerous.....

Borax sold in the supermarkets for laundry washing and other uses is not poisonous to the public.  However, REAL boric acid is......just be careful with it.......that's all.....regarding pets and people.......



Tylenol (acetaminophen) is dangerous, not aspirin

Patti is right - aspirin can safely be given to dogs.  It's Tylenol (acetaminophen) that is dangerous to give to dogs, and I believe also to cats. (Anyone with doubts, please call the nearest veterinarian, but I know several vets have told me so, I've had probably 20 dogs in my life,  and though I love cats, I'm allergic to them )  The animal livers can't handle Tylenol like human livers (and it's also very dangerous to our livers in overdoses)   Chocolate is also bad for dogs, by the way. 


the best plan is lifestyle change, not some dangerous
like the previous poster said, the weight will come back when you stop. I have kept a food diary and counted calories and now am down to 108 lbs. Creating a calorie deficit is the only safe way to lose weight.
Severe warning about dangerous dog-toys!!

I came across this blog today on Craigslist:  http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/


And if you have a dog, it's a must-see.  It details what happened to a dog that was severely injured by a dog toy called a "Pimple Ball" made by Four Paws, Inc.  The dog ended up losing his tongue, and the pain he had to endure was excruciating. 


The dog's owner relates that the Four Paws Co. hasn't owned up to the fact that its toy is dangerous, and he's calling for a international boycott of Four Paws, Inc.  After watching his video links of his poor dog's suffering, even though I have cats, I plan to be sure I don't purchase ANYTHING from this company, andhopefully you won't either.



 


The difference is...the doctor is working in dangerous territory (sm)
on a person who needs help. The people are having surgery or in the hospital because they need help. The accidental gun deaths are completely unnecessary.
Cell phones - How dangerous is their long-term use?

Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question!  They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts.  Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise. 
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly.  Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children!  Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer.  I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis.  This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.


Please be aware that St. John's wort with any SSRI or MAOI can be dangerous - sm
...unless your physician is aware that you're using it in addition to your Rx meds. (Other things, like 5-HTP, if I'm not mistaken) can have similar potentially dangerous side effects in combination with Rx antidepressants. Just sayin' ....

He has been drug tested....
for his job. I don't think that drugs or alcohol are involved.  We have considered it, but I just don't think that it the problem.  I certainly would never let him drive with my son if I was unsure.  I just don't know what it could be.  It would take a book to write down all of his issues.  The sad part is that his father dismisses it all because he does well in school and he is premed, but he just lacks any sort of personal character.  Being smart does not make you a good person and he is just not a good person.  I am still so sick to my stomach about this.  I feel like I am a bad person, having mothered this kid for 13 years and now I am just ready to wash my hands of him.  I am dead serious about that and it makes me ill.  I pray to God that I don't ever have these feelings about my son.

loved the fountain drinks, miss the five and dimes like Woolworth's.
With their drug war going on & innocent
tourists getting caught up in the middle, not to mention how dangerous it can be even without a drug war going on... is it REALLY worth the risk? We have plenty of beautiful beaches right here in the U.S., and why not spend your tourism money to help out our own ailing economy. It is much better to be safe than sorry. JMO...
This drug testing is going too far - sm
I don't do drugs and I do know that there is a huge drug problem in America but turning around and testing for drugs for every single thing is going a bit far. Not everyone who is unemployed does drugs. In fact I can bet the people who are unemployed are probably using the money for basic necessities of daily living (food, shelter, electricity).

My dad (72 years old) is collecting unemployment and if he had to take a drug test to get his check that would be horrible. He's the most honest decent human being I know of.

A lot of people who collect unemployment don't do it because they want to, they do it because they have to. A lot of them are going through depression and then to turn around and have to take a drug test like they are criminals?...well why not treat them like crap more and add to the depression they are already going through.

Think this is just another way for government to take control and it is not a good idea. Usually the people who are for others being tested are church goers who think they are "holier than thou".

Bad idea.

I had to go get drug tested today for my - sm
bus substitute driver job; they provided the car for us to go the clinic. Apparently they normally take the white car, but today we took the red car because the white one was being held as they found drugs in it last week. Kind of funny as it is a county car used only by the school employees; and mainly to go to drug tests. How un-smart is that? They still don't know who is the guilty party as the car had more than normal traffic in it last week. Guess they will figure it out though, I bet everyone that has been in that car for the last 2 weeks is getting drug tested; if you test positive you are immediately fired.
Try the company that makes the drug.
We got on a plan for my son through the company and he gets his meds free (Concerta) for at least the next year.
The 100K came way after the drug charges
The arrest came say 15 or 20 years before the 100K and the way they spend their money that $100K probably not around too long.
Has anyone ever been on Clomid - or any other fertility drug? sm
DH and I are having fertility issues and the doc has put me on Clomid but I have yet to get a positive ovulation stick (the kind you pee on), and I am getting frustrated.  Has anyone ever been on this?
A drug bust! Well there is no telling
what kind of life that dog had. That is very sad. You know, I had to admit but I use to be one of those people that said oh no a pitbull!

My pitbull taught me the true meaning of Don't believe everything that you hear, and only believe half of what you see.
Help on upgrading drug reference

Hi all,


I am seriously in need of upgrading my drug reference. I am still using Quick Look electronic 2004 and so many new drugs have been introduced in the past 4 years.  What would you recommend??  I just checked the Stedman's site and really cannot afford that kind of money right now.  Do any of you recommend a hard copy book that would keep me updated???  Thank you for any suggestions.


Can we drug-test the Senators too?
I don't think connecting unemployment benefits to drug-testing is a good idea. In fact, I don't think drug testing should be random at all. I think it should be reserved for cases that are on a need-to-know basis. And no, I have never used drugs, never tried them. It's a matter of civil liberties and constitutional rights against invasions of our privacy. Next thing you know, they'll be testing us for lipid levels after we're seen frequenting a house of trans-fats.

And while we're on the topic, decriminalizing drugs would go a long way toward reducing drug-related crimes. Nothing is perfect in this discussion though because drugs really are evil. It just becomes a matter of damage control.
I have taken many drug tests for many jobs...
and never felt like a criminal. It is just the way things are. I would far rather have drug users weeded out of medical positions,welfare and unemployment than to not take the test. I don't know why anyone who does not use drugs would feel humiliated by taking a test. Just my opinion.
That is what drug addicts and gold diggers do, unfortunately :(

I think you do have to go all out. A therapist and drug screen would be first priority nm

Talk to the maker of the drug in question. sm
Many drug companies have what they call "Indigent Programs". Don't let the name put you off. It is for people who cannot afford their medications and need them to live.

I worked in a urology office and the cheme seeds for prostate cancer cost approx. $1700.00 a month. The company had a program for the guys who couldn't afford it, the guys who had insurance that would only pay a miniscule amount, etc.

I had that problem when I was unemployed and my anti-depressants cost over $500 a month. The company that made them had a program such as that and it saved my sanity.

Look into it. You are only out the time it takes to fill out a form. Some of these are also income based, but please, don't let the name put you off. It is well worth the time you invest.

Good luck.
Checking for drug usage in unemployed
Just seeing where a senator from Florida wanting to have mandatory drug tests for people who want to apply for unemployment money. I think this is a great idea, what about you?
See, that's was exactly my initial response to the negative drug test. SM

I felt like relief that my son, even when faced with the temptation, resisted the urge to smoke pot with his friends.  I actually congratulated my son and told him how proud I was that he hadn't been taking any drugs or smoking pot.  But then I wondered if he should be punished for having a bong in his pack.  He obviously didn't use it, but why did he have it?


Now I think I may lift the grounding, but set some rules about him avoiding being around the 23-year-old guy and basically having him check in with me routinely when he is out and as long as he follows the rules, then I'll trust him.


Geez, I don't think I'm going to survive the teenage years and they've only just begun!  I can only hope that when my 7yo daughter reaches her teens, she will go a little easier on me!


Thanks everyone for listening and offering your advice.
