Friend was just on it for about 5 months and stopped due to pancreatitis. Now five months later he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Strange thing is aside from the pain no other symptoms , no weight loss , jaundice, bloating , and its still working fine as he goes to the bathroom regular and no insulin issues etc. Personally staying far away from it.

I’ll pray for you, but please get that checked out. If its serious enough to alert us, then its serious enough to go to the doctor unless its something that you have been living with for a while. Keep up blood sugar? Keep it down, last thing you need is for your pancreas to be working overtime. Chicken soup w/o noodles or rice. Start taking a half a glass of unsweetened kefir and 3 tablespoons of sauerkraut everyday. Will pray for you.

Send her Demonic by Ann Coulter and then ask her to evaluate your reading material. Tell her you want her to read it and tell you what’s lies are in it so you can straighten out your Trumpkin friends. Tell her your not smart enough to detect it yourself. That appeal to her ego will give her incentive. Any “smart” gift will simply solidify her current impression of you.

Could be like Fire ants that Migrated to USA. Their social structure changes and they tolerate multiple queens and nests and why they are so devastating. Seems to be some behavior modification that allows multiple queens in these species when they encounter new virgin environments where there is no competition from their own kind.

Coincidentally this is also the only democratic district in the USA where a van that looked like the bombers with its Pro trump stickers can go months and months without being vandalized.

Anyone notice a pattern. This guy, scott ritter,John Mccain. All of them have these giant skeletons( child predation for this guy and scott ritter and the tokyo rose tapes for Mccain) in the closet that mysteriously are lost or misfiled and unknown to the general public and would cause great shame to the person. Really convinced that the left has dirt on all these Trumpmania democrats that they threaten to “discover”should they ever stray from the plantation. Nothing else explains their almost rabid adherence to the agenda in the face of all logic. How else can you explain that no Democrats are straying from party lines anywhere despite Trumps enormous appeal in some areas. There can be no other explanation considering these are politicians and they should normally be going in which ever direction the wind is most favorable.

We all know the stats are a completely useless but the question is what does CBS actually gain from putting out such useless info.
A actual gun grabber would be heartened to hear such numbers and would probably be pacified by reading this while gun owners already know its a lie. Why publish or do you think CBS’s author is just an idiot doing a puff piece. Call me a conspiracist, but I can’t help thinking there is some nefarious purpose to be revealed later. Cant believe CBS just had nothing else to show and doesn’t understand the uselessness of these “facts”.

Is this possible or am I simply dreaming of a once great western journalism brotherhood that has long since been tamed? keep in my fingers crossed that most out there want change and the good kind.

Another really good one everyone has forgotten is
The Mind Stealers with Christopher Walken. The only thing lacking from todays tech would be a remote activated trigger
from some pharmaceutical giants smart phone app.

"Congress shouldn't let a measly teaspoon of sugar spoil what could be a delightfully sweet deal for American taxpayers, consumers and exporters."

TIN FOIL ALERT,
WORD OF THE DAY- CORN SYRUP.

Check the ingredients on everything in your pantry and you'll see the real source of "big" sugars influence. If the price of sugar was deregulated and allowed to be set by the market who would use corn syrup? Who makes Corn syrup and how "big" are they?

Sort of like working at WeightWatchers and wondering why everyone you see is fat.
Think your mixing up what you see with what is really being hunted. The reason they make such a big deal about the big ones is because their so rare. You only see the pictures and mounts of the twelve pointers, what you don't see is millions of does and spikes whose sole memorial was a nice meal. Ain't too many people mounting the heads of does. I can assure you that of the millions of deer that have been hunted and killed, 95% of them were "inferiors".

Plus most studies have shown that the "inferiors" are that way more as a result of diet and age than genetics. One close call that results in the deer surviving another season gives it a huge leg up on the competition. Sort of like how the odds of a human surviving to 70 years of age dramatically increase once they hit 25.(insert any age you want beyond the childhood disease years)

If he's taking 250 supplements a day its probably because he need them to survive because is eating nothing, probably less than 1500 calories a day. Starvation is the ONLY proven method of lengthening your life span.

Also I think they got the cause and effect mixed up. They are stating that the deficiencies cause the violent behavior as if its a side effect. I personally believe its more likely that the body recognizes the deficiency and then it compensates for it by making you more violent/aggressive and thus more likely to get food you need. With the pigs, it is common to chew on the tails of the other pigs, but it was n't because of some weird side effect of a deficiency, its because they have a deficiency and eating the blood of another pig will help them solve that deficiency. As soon as one pig bites the tail of another and draws blood and tastes the minerals it wants more and in fact all of the other pigs will then join in attacking that same bleeding pig to get a taste of the blood. thus the violence is beneficial at least to the individual pig.

I for one don't like the implications, we are men and should act like it. The thought that my actions may not be entirely of my own choosing places me on the same plane as an animal which I reject out of sheer principle.

The only snake that fits the bill is a fla or calif kingsnake. However you are talking about a six year old child. BAD IDEA. Regardless of your best intentions you will not tbe able to watch all the time. A full grown king snake or basically any constrictor approximately two feet or bigger can kill a six year old child. They play with it, it wraps itself around their neck and they can't get it off and when they try the snake tries harder to hold on and maybe bites them also. They are very simple animals and a six year old watching cartoons will expect alot more from her pets. It is almost guaranteed that the behavior she will expect from that snake and her resulting actions will result in it attempting to bite her. Don't do it.IMO

Also guys the chrysler statement wasn't posted when I made my first post but I think it even further illuminates that jumping to a decision without hearing both sides isn't good. The fact that themedia only covers chrysler;s statement instead of the truth as determined by the jury is further evidence that they only want the public to see one side and get them enraged so that they will support limits on lawsuits regardless of the truth of the matter.
They seem to have fooled most of you.

Here's the problem guys/gals which I have:
I'll take a few excerpts to illustrate and make my points below each one and then you can tell me what you think.

The following statement can be attributed to Steve Hantler, Assistant General Counsel, DaimlerChrysler Corporation:

This is daimlers version of events, not the version of events which the jury found after examining the evidence.

“This tragedy occurred because an inexperienced 17-year-old driver fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the Mohr’s vehicle at a devastatingly high speed."

No problem here. he was the ultimate cause of the accident, but the real question is was he the ultimate cause of the deaths?

As a result the unbelted rear passenger was thrown into the back of the driver’s seat, contributing to the fatal injuries Ms. Mohr sustained. (then)
Accident reconstruction experts believe the fatal injuries to Vickie Mohr and Maurine Heathscott might have been prevented had all the passengers been wearing their seat belts PROPERLY.

This is the real issue here, Not wearing them or wearing them properly? Gotta read between the lines to pick this one up and it makes a big difference.

If you guys look at the background on this one it may turn out that the jury found chrysler responsible because they believe all of the occupants of the vehicle were in fact WEARING their seatbelts and due to chryslers poor product,
all of the belts failed and released their passngers causing them to become human missiles. Seems a certain generation of chrysler seatbelts has been accused of failing during accidents and releasing that which they are supposed to protect. Maybe chrysler is claiming that they didn't wear seatbelts at all or possibly that they didn't use them correctly or possibly they only thought they were properly buckled in wheras a trained chrysler technician would easily see that they weren't.
The jury may have come to the conclusion that chrysler seatbelts are crap and chrysler knew about it and that regular users should be able to operate their seatbelts correctly and not need training to detrmine if they are working or that they simply broke.

All this is conjecture and i have no idea what the truth is
,maybe they weren't wearing their seatbelts and the decsion is idiotic but if it was as simple as you all seem to beleive than chances are a jury made up of the biggest idiots in the world would have found for chrysler instead.

What should really tip you off that the chrysler statment isn't a 100% kosher is that it was pulled for this posting from a automotive web page posting that discusses the numerous allegations that chryslers Gen3 seatbelts are unsafe and have a big defect. I really think that if we get the version of the "fact and events" from either the plaintiffs or the jury they will have some remarkable differences when compared to chrysler's
version.

Again I don't know the truth, but I have a lot of faith in our jury system. Most people when called for jury duty take it upon themselves to act and think on their best behavior and to follow the law as explained by the judge to the best of their ability.Most people realize that its one of the few times in their lives that they will have real power and respect it and try to live up to the responsibility they have been given. I beleive most people
on this site would do so. Why should I think that this group of jurors were somehow different and just some lame group of bleeding hearts that got put together by a sheer preponderance of bad luck and by mere coincidence didn't include a single person of character?. Anyway cheers all. Take care.

Before we jump on the jury and claim they are crazy a little facts would be order. How badly did thecar collapse from being hit head on? I would expect that my car if hit would have the entire front end demolisged with possibly the engine in the fron passenger area but still with space to live even though seriously injured. That would be acceptable and understood. However if the entire car collapsed like bread box and afterwards the only thing left of it was the wheels and the lower body frame as a result of the entire top half being taken off I would have a real problem with the integrity of the car, it should at least hopefully stay in one piece. Maybe someone can get the actual pictures before we jump to second guess the jury. Alot of people sit on juries and I don't think they are all idiots, and I know they are privy to a lot of information that we will never see. Sort of like deciding that the Iraq war was a quagmire because you read in the NYT. Just an opinion.

"I don't know the story of the dish. I really wish I did."

According to my friend Xialiaong who hails from Shanghai, also known as Leon here in the states, it was a paticularly bad point in the general's career, and he was running from his enemies and was hiding out in the area waiting for his second wind. Starving, he and his men looked around for food and no rice was to be found. The only thing they retrieved was one scrawny chicken. The chicken was prepared by being cut up into many pieces in order to feed as many as possible. When finally served to the General, he and his men discovered that the lone scrawny chicken had been able to satisy the hunger in all of the men and was quite tasty to boot. The general declared it the best chicken he had ever eaten. The rest is history. To this day, the general's chicken is still one of the best ways to make a little chicken go a long way. ( geez, half the pieces don't even have meat in them at some restaurants, but they still taste great)
Truth or fable, who knows, but thats what I've been told.
take care all.

You appear to be correct, we already have the huge loopholes. (big enough to drive my hummer thru) thanks for pointing it out. Lets see what happens. Take care.

If a national sales tax was used how do you acount for the heinz's,kennedy's, and gates of the world who already have their considerable nest eggs? How do you account for interest on their billions? I would be real scared about the possiblity of them turning into a new breed of emperor and would insist on the elimination of all these trust funds and would also insist on a severe death tax for these billionaires and some sort of limitation on before death transfers. A sales tax structure could be the underpinnings of a new rulling class, far worse than anything we have now if such money is allowed to accumulate. Just some things which would have to be taken into account in my view. I'm imagining Little George Soros the VIII in 2050 and its causing me chills.
