| Sorry about jumping in here as i'm mostly just a chronic lurker, but i totally agree with stlgirl.
Had a similar experoence with a long-term (now ex-)bf. Found out that he was not only using but dealing coke so we broke up. I was not prepared to get involved with someone with that kind of lifestyle (doesn't really look all that good if a doctor is going out with a cokehead, know what I mean?) and he had lied to me on several occasions...that's not a good basis for any relationship...and don't believe the whole "it's not me, it was the drugs" thing. After several months he promised me he was clean and not using and after a lot of talking we got back together again, but i made it specifically clear that if he lied to me again i was out of there and he would not see me again EVER. Well...guess what, 18 months later, i found out (through his sister) that he was in serious trouble, the cops had cought him dealing again but because he "rolled over" they were not going to press chrges if they caught the whole "distribution network"...and to top it all off the sister expected me to get him clean again! Maybe that was the most selfish thing i ever did in my life but i got out of that relationship and never saw him again... Luckily for him the whole "toughlove" approach seemed to have worked 'cos eventually all his family gave him an ultimatum, clean up or get out...he cleaned up... but we did not get back together, i kept questioning anything he said and worried how long he could stay clean and sober...that's not healthy. |

| Just a quick note from the peanut gallery.... as long as Nic (your wife) is OK with all of this and was only slightly miffed (DO NOT GET HER PRESENTS SHE WILL THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!) rhen that's all that really matters.
You tried to do the right thing and got mud in your face from some of your friends...that's their loss...your relationship is still good and strong and if they cannot see past your intentions then....you know where I'm heading right? |

| Don't most organizations like this often entice/select the unsure/undecided/looking-for-somethi ng personality types?? This statement might offend some, but surely if you were 100% strong in your beliefs and wanted to join a group to act on those beliefs, then if you were presented with some seriously totalitarian/branwashing type techniques you would be strong enough to recognise them for what they are and just leave?
I'm not defending the YWAM, I was too young to appreciate that kind of stuff, ... I'm just talking about any religious/missionary group... and throwing the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons! |

| OMG!!! This is a blast from the past!...YWAM!...This is how i started to learn English!! OK you need a bit of background info to understand that last statement...so here goes.
My family emigrated from poland in '81 and ended up in Austria where the Red Cross looked after us very nicely. Near the village where we lived (Payerbach) was an YWAM group and they did a lot to help us emigrants/political asylumees. One of the things they offered was English lessons for kids and adults...so that's where i started to learn English. I was 8 years old at the time so my opinion of them is not exactly current but I never sensed any overt "convert or be dammned" kind of stuff going on and my parents never called them "bible-bashers" so they clearly never stuffed religion down anyone's throat. They did a lot of good for the community, and kind of led by example. So in a nutshell, nothing bad to report about them...in the 80's! |

| Hi Kipp!
Nexium is esmeprazole iif i'm not screwing my drugs up and to be perfectly honest with you I have not had as good results with it for the control of GERD/reflux as with Pantoprazole/lansoprazole...maybe it's time for a change?? It's worthe a try anyway... |

| Hi Kipp!
My dad was an actor and often in similar circumstances. There is still nothing you can really do except stop using your vocal chords...so leave verbal communication to only essential words!! Take some anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen, but that might make your reflux worse...so make sure you are on correct medication for the reflux...something like ranitidine or Lansoprazole, I don't know which of these are over-the-counter in the US. Also when you sleep, lift your mattress up so that you're lying at an angle rather than flat, it reduces the reflux. If you're absolutelly desperate, i know the actors used to use a cortisone throat spray, but that was just a one-perfomance quick-fix and then no voice for several weeks! Cold liquids reduce the swelling, but hot onse promote circulation to remove any toxins...but neither one nor the other is going to be better or worse for you. Good Luck! |

| I never expect to see changes in either the cholesterol or trig counts before 6-8 weeks of REAL lifestyle changes...so hang in there and do the best you can! | |||

| In my practice I have seen very few people with mild to moderate cholesterols and trig's improve by taking Omega 3's ...actually most of them got worse. Alcohol plays a big part in this, so do gall stones...have you had a liver ultrasound?? Alcohol intake does not have to be huge for trig's to go up, some pople are just more "sensitive" to it. Fibre has always had a positive effect on lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, so stick to the oats! | |||

| Actually ...the drama is what keeps me coming back to this site! It's better than TV...no seriously...people are different and we all have differnet ways of saying stuff and venting stuff. I guess if we could SEE each other's body language , expressions etc, a lot of the mudflingin wouldn't happen, that's the "joy" of the internet.
I'm still a newie here, who just happened to have gone off the rails the last 2 months, and managed to put on everything that I lost in the 2 months before while I was still "active" on this site. The motivation here is better than anything I've come across...i just wish i could stay stron all the time...but at least i get some real-life drama every now and then...hehehe |

| How do you open them htide?...Very carefully! I usually cut the top and bottom end off and then peel away the skin as it goes....very messy no matter what you do! Has anyone got a method for getting rid of the stain the juice leaves on your fingers? I absolutelly love them but the next day my hands look like I haven't washed for weeks...not good if you have to examine patients! | |||

| just keep at it girl. i'm actually painfully shy (almost to the paralytic state!) if I have to be/go somewhere where i am alone...seriously!im terrified! so knowing someone at the place i was going to made it possible for me to even walk into the place, and on the way there it was like this mask came over my face...i had this "don't f**k with me" attitude. And guess what...very few pople approached me...they were all scared apparently! anywya, once i adopted my new attitude, i felt like i was the one in control of the room, not the room controlling me. just think Priscilla , queen of the .... can't remember the title!! the ozzie drag queen movie
Priscilla Queen of the Desert! if those guys/girls could go into an outback bar...hell girl...you can do anything! |
