It would depend on a few things. Why they were in there? (no sleep walking murderers thank you...) Did they take advantage of their time in there and genuinely try to get better? Do they remember their meds 99.9% of the time? Then yeah, everyone has issues and I won't hold anyone's against them as long as they've put it behind them. Why would you NOT care for someone who probably needs it more than most people?

Which gender is quick to lie about cheating, who is more likely to cheat or what ever the case maybe?
Is it you or your wife/girlfriend?


People who cheat lie about it... male or female. Both are wrong in such a situation.

Men are. Mostly because we don't know when we are lying. Women are more skillful liars, but ultimtely become entrapped in their own web. Call it a draw.

I just don't seem to understand why people lie, especially in an intimate relationship.
You can be living with someone for years and not know thst you are apart of a lie, yet most women will say that men are "NATURAL LIARS"


I love how u r tryin to spark some huge argument, I call this a FAIL
nobody really seems to be goin for it.

This all makes a ton of sense people. My granny had this issue, and I have most of her off the wall allergies. I'm considering reading labels more now...lol. I'm going to try to cut this stuff out of my diet completely, even in wheat bread, and see if that doesn't make some kind of difference. Any of you who have anything wrong that is in this list consider the same to see if it doesn't help you some.

Wheat Gluten - the Protein with Teeth 12 Feb 2006

"Leaky Gut Syndrome"

How many people suffering headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, iron deficiency, depression, chronic tiredness, somewhat overweight, with a history of infertility or miscarriage have considered the possibility of Wheat (Gluten) sensitivity?

In people with Gluten intolerance, Gluten actually attacks the lining of the gut, tearing holes in it. The condition is known as "Leaky Gut Syndrome". No wonder it makes you feel tired and sick!

Gluten is a highly complex protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Gluten intolerance means you don't absorb nutrients properly, so you miss out on things like iron, calcium and vitamins.

But that's just the start. When your gut is 'leaky' certain other nasties like bacteria and allergens escape into the bloodstream. This is a direct conduit to every other part of the body - including the brain.

Symptoms of Gluten intolerance are often gastro-intestinal (GI) and include stomach bloating, cramping, flatulence and diarrhea. But the long term effects are more serious: anaemia, osteoporosis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), depression, dementia, obesity and bowel cancer.

See Health Risks.

Runs in the Family
We already know that Celiac Disease is a condition that is 'atopic' - it runs in the family. If you are Celiac then ~10% of your first degree relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, children) will be Celiac as well. This is a much higher proportion than in the general population.

Gluten Sensitivity Much More Common Than Celiac Disease
New evidence (2001 - see references below) indicates Gluten sensitivity goes much wider than just Celiac Disease. Gluten sensitivity affects 15% or 1 in 7 people.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) in up to 15% of people, is NOT the same as Celiac Disease (~ 1 in 130 people or less than 1%). The traditional test for Celiac Disease (CD) is a blood test (which is only a guide), then an intestinal biopsy: under anaesthetic the doctor takes a tissue sample from your intestine and sends it for testing.

Unfortunately many doctors still think 'Celiac Disease' when testing for Gluten sensitivity. When the blood test result turns out negative or inconclusive, the patient can be misled into thinking Gluten is not the problem.

There are now more sophisticated blood tests to look for NCGS, but generally in mainstream medicine in the US and Australia the new practice has not yet been integrated.

As a result Gluten intolerance is notoriously undiagnosed, misdiagnosed and and under-diagnosed.

Recent Research
Most doctors don't have time to read medical journals and catch up on new findings. So they can only apply the knowledge they learned 10, 20 or 30 years before, in medical school.

* With negative or inconclusive results the doctor may be dismissive of Gluten intolerance, even if you suggest it.


* How to find out? Do an Elimination Diet and know for sure. The Eliminaiton diet is accurate and simple and needs no drugs or therapies.


* If it turns out that eating Gluten free for a few weeks brings dramatically improved health then you would have to conclude you have Gluten intolerance, wouldn't you?

Gluten Sensitivity is Poorly Diagnosed
If you think you might be Gluten sensitive - you should see your doctor. Most Gluten intolerance is undiagnosed - resulting in serious but preventable diseases in many sufferers.

A common indicator is low iron or anemia. Most people just buy over-the-counter iron supplements and think that's all they need to do. But that's why many Gluten intolerant people are not diagnosed until later in life.

Eventually the long term anaemia causes other problems. And the body's ability to compensate diminishes with age. As a result some Gluten intolerance is diagnosed only after an emergency hospital admission of a middle-aged or elderly patient.

The immune system is involved
There is also the well known Celiac skin condition Dermatitis Herpetiformis, sustained itchy spots, but that is not present in all Gluten intolerant people.

Gluten intolerance causes lots of other symptoms like chronic fatigue, osteoporosis, depression and infertility. No wonder, with all these symptoms it is tricky to nail down!

Gluten is a protein and has recently been associated with classical allergy symptoms like skin rashes and respiratory problems (coughing, asthma).

* That means Gluten intolerance is definitely involved with the immune system, contrary to previous understanding.


Even doctors and health professionals agree that Gluten intolerance is poorly diagnosed.

But treatment is easy!
Whether you have Celiac Disease or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, treatment is the same: a Gluten-free diet. It is increasingly in the media - a good thing for two reasons.

* The disease and its impact on lifestyle are becoming better understood

* More gluten-free products are now available

However the research which forms today's knowledge is not entrenched. As recently as 1993 medical opinion was divided. The case study of Susanna Lohiniemi is interesting because the diagnosis eluded doctors for ten years.

Final Comment
So . . . the question is not: How many undiagnosed Celiacs are out there? But rather:

How many people suffering headaches, depression, iron deficiency, overweight, with a history of infertility or miscarriage have considered the possibility of Gluten intolerance?

Honestly, no matter what someone looks like if they have kind eyes and a great smile to match... it tends to help. A boy started school with me in 8th grade who wasn't particularly attractive. He's still not, but by the time we were 21 we'd become such great friends that we fell for one another. We dated for several months, and are still really good friends despite it not working out. I love him to pieces no matter what, and he feels the same for me. I miss not seeing him or hanging out with him, but we have some amazing memories. He actually gave me some wild adventures that I other wise would not have had. When I think of the adventures tha I am missing out on for helping my mother, I try to remember that he gave me a few to hold onto in case I never get another.

Just remember they're human and have feelings when you shoot them down. Also remember, you might be ugly to someone else so your words may come back to haunt you. Thats not an insult to anyone, just the truth of how life works.

I've been so severely depressed the last several months its scary. People just want to see what they see, and not get that I'm a real person who hurts. I have come so close to panic attacks the last few months. The more people around me, the worse it is. This christmas season is really testing me. I started hyperventilating in Target the other day, luckily I ran into my cousin and she saw what was goin on so she took me to an isle that had nobody in it so I could calm down. 3 days ago in walmart was the same way, except I was again lucky that my old school mate was there and took my mind off of it for a minute. I am grateful for those people showing up when they did. I know it was no accident, because it was about to get serious.

my best friend is 23 and in a similar situation. no license, her mother forces her to take care of all the foster children while she is out, etc. but we have already emailed so you know my thoughts.


I know, and thank you :)

I know it seems like I'm shooting down ideas, but except for the bus (that I didn't know we even had) I have tried it all. I TRIED walking here the first few days I lived here and almost got hit about 5 times. I mean, I was about a foot from their car door. It scared me, I'm not walking in this area.

So your town is the most dangerous town in the country, and I guess there isn't anyone who walks in your town huh?

Oh well, I have read some great advice in this thread. You just keep making excuses. In life, you do what you have to do to make it and yes most times its without help from anyone and it helps make you a stronger person. You can do that, or stay miserable. It's up to YOU.

I'm done.flowerforyou


The part I live in has no sidewalks and its on one of the busiest streets for traffic. I'm not close to anything, but the street I'm on is a main road to get to anything. THATS why its dangerous to walk. People do not watch where they're going, and actually I never see anyone walking on this street. I see them up in town, MILES from where I live. They do have sidewalks IN town, but I'm not IN town.
