Also, don't forget, for alot of insurance it also depends on "who" is reviewing your files a that time. So just because somone with your insurance got excepted "easily", doesn't mean you will have such an easy time also.

I beleive this is the main reason why doctors say lower your carb intake. We are suppose to have limited food intake and need to maximize nutrition intake. We should get enough complex carbs by just choosing healthy things, like just about any vegatable we choose. However lowering simple carbs and complex carbs does lead to: More energy Higher Metabolism Less Hungar Longer sense of fullness These are all things that makes Atkins diet successful. Most people who tried the diet had most of these symptoms.

Is it the baking soda and milk that usually makes you burp? If so that may be bad.

I'm in the same boaot. I don;t think I have palputations but have rapid and hard heart beats that come and go. I've been monitored man times since my father has a heretic heart disease and I need to be checked yearly. anyways, after ekg's, echoes, and stress tests I always get tested negative for any heart problems. I have acid reflux, so once in awhile I get a sharp "twinge" in my chest and I always think its my heart. Usally I start to feel dizzy, heart beats faster and can feel like its going to pop out my chest. Basically its a panic attack. Doctors don;t like calling that but half these situations that doctors say os due to stress, are acutally panic attacks. Anything, stress, unkown pain, anything can trigger it. I've learned to deal with it but I know it would get worst if I didn;t see a doctor every year for my checkups.

Funniest story I heard in awhile,:biggrin: haha. My wife would have said something to the mother and embarassed me :tongue:

I personally think spanking is not the only option to discipline a child right. However I think parents should be able to spank them if they choose to. For any people not sensetive to vulgor stuff south park has a nice episode on how to "train" your child. If you love the dog whisperer you will love this episode.

This little horror story I am about to share probably doesn't have much to do with the core of your rant. But I also hate it when mothers bings into diners and stuff these huge car seats, crazy. Anyways, sorry for this bad story ahead of time if folks are sensitive. Anyways, a lady that worked with my wife had a infant baby. Every morning when both her and her husband worked they would take their baby to a day care. The day care was just someones house but was really nice and the people were caring. When they dropped off their baby they would leave them with the care takers with the car seat. One morning the husband dropped the baby off, left the baby in the car seat in the basement where the main play space was for the children. Well a hour later children headed outside, for "outside play" time. The baby was still in the car seat. The supervisors spent 20 minutes getting kids ready to go outside and then went downstairs to get the baby. Cutting to the chase, they found the baby dead in the carseat. Not sure how the baby was positioned but it was later found out the baby's circulation was cut off in the neck by the belt, passed out, and died. Sad story. And to this day I freak out whenever I see my nephew or niece sitting in a carseat.

Have you looked at getting a loan? There is plenty of companies that give out short term interest free loans for medical procedures and/or deductibles. I used a place but my wife has the info with her. Was easy to fill out and we had bad credit at the time and we still got approved. I paid $200 a month for 10 months for a $2000.00 loan.

My Doctor told me I should seek out getting the band done in Dec. Had a consultation with the surgeon on Jan 2. He told me what I needed, had a sheet on what package of records and tests I needed done. Finished everything including my Psych eval by the Feb 5. The surgeon's office called back and said they needed more documentation from my PCP and so they called his office and they sent more. Well that apparently wasn't enough so now they are bouncing back and forth. Now its April 13th and my head is about to explode because the surgeon is waiting on just one letter from my doctor before they send into the insurance company. Now I hear 3 people who had to wait 5 weeks before the same insurance company would approve. I am very depressed because I love my surgeon but I am suppose to be moving to Florida by the end of the summer and don't know now if I should stick with him or after I get approved just find a new doctor in Florida. Should I stay on course get approved and have the surgery? Should I get approved then see if the surgeon will refer me to another surgeon in Florida? Should I tell both my PCP and WLS surgeon I am moving and to forget the whole thing? I really don't know because I am worried about these things: 1. Surgeon finding out I am moving and flat out refuse to do surgery and shut the door. 2. PCP will find out I am moving and shut the door on approving me. 3. If no one knows I am moving, will I be able to find a doctor to help me after I get surgery. 4. If I get approved and the surgeon won;t do it now will I have to get pre approved again if I change to a Florida doctor?

So does that mean you ain't eating solid foods?

Thats a conservative stance, any liberal stances?

This is one area we agreed on and glad to they are least making progress.

And the article you posted was from a financial expert that knew what Al Gore has invested in? How do you know Jesse Ventura is wrong when he said that Air fuel couldn't melt those beams? Your trying to differentiate the two and you can't. They were both made by people that are not experts and both of them had no evidence whats so ever. Both articles didn't extend upon anything to help substantiate their claim. So, the only reasoning behind the fact that you can't differentiate the two, is cause you are bias when you read these kinds of stories and choose to overlook the obvious "this reporter has no evidence of his claims" mentality if it suits you.

1st, i didn't think you were just a right wing nut. I still don't. I have to question your thinking because every misleading article you posted is fomr a right winged site. Also, I have yet to see you step on any republican toes. Since i haven't step on any lefties toes here's some things i support: Fair Tax School Vouchers (Including Homeschooling credits) No Nation building (which is a Conservative stance that republicans definitely have ignored.) Pro Guns

Glad someone gets me :thumbup:

Problem is its more then just a house. It's an office for him and his employee's. Also is a reception place for media and business clients. Considering the power needs of that home it might take awhile. My wife is in florida and it is taken 3 months on a permit for just a privacy fence to be put up. The point was made that George Bush is the President and don;t need all that. However even if Crawford is just a vacation home, the President has security, advisors and media personnel ALWAYS. where do you think they stay? I bet its not all in that little house. And the most upsetting thing is that vacation home is no more then a Symbol for him. That family is a NE American family pretending to be cowboys for that oh so coveted "Reagan" look.:thumbup:

Former Governor Jesse Ventura Says WTC Collapse a Controlled Demolition - Radio and Internet Radio News from Send2Press Newswire Apr 3, 2008 Wow! the government blew them up.

Because he created the investment firm (like every other mega rich person) to handle HIS investments. But lets skip all this. Answer me these two questions: 1. Did the article have proof or hard evidence that Al Gore is making money off "green" companies? 2. Did you before or after reading that article have proof and evidence that that Al gore is making money off "green" companies?

Sorry, just I have to go for a hour search to get you proof, yet you think its fun to post articles without even seeing if they are legit or not. Anyways here you go Company Information: GENERATION INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLP Glad I did it though cause it looks like they updated it in January

Because, the news site reports off that F13 form that he had to fill out. Which is in the same story YOU posted! What? You want me to go to the federal commerce building and pull the fricken original document or something?

By US Law if you are making over $100 Million in investments you are required to fill out a Form 13F. Which makes you fill out all your holdings, including how any stocks and what type they are. This 13F form is what news reports were coming from. Here's a link to the Fed site: Form 13F—Reports Filed by Institutional Investment Managers

I just wanted to add he does have a charity organization that does invest in "green" companies. So Al Gore technically has a kind of "stake" in more "green" companies, however he in no way profits from them. I don't think in anyway this suggests erroneous behavior.

That is his porfolio. Its been displayed on all news sites including all major news organizations. Also, the same news article you linked got it's reporting from a right wing site that posted the same portfolio. Liberal sites have been hollaring becasue Gore doesn't have any "Green" companies in their portfolio. Conservative sites are hollaring about Gore having GE in there. Most financial investors will tell you any major investment firm has stock in GE.

Pretty good article but again, do some more research. The story sounds like he is invested in all those companies he was showing on the overhead, however he isn't. His GIM investing portfolio has been made public you should see alot of reports like these: This story went out last year and ever since conservative moderators just bring up GE. GE is the only company that directly relates to what Al Gore is preaching. This is because GE makes the energy saving light bulbs he mentioned. GE is this largest non-oil company in the world sells thousands of products. I highly doubt their stock would go that much if they sold a few more lgiht bulbs. TRY AGAIN! :thumbup::confused:

Warning: This probably won't help at all lol! I have had the same feeling exactly where you are. Usually can feel it more when I sit at teh computer for a long time. I have bad posture. Anyways, been tested for everything and the only thing they can come up with is reflux. Even though the pain isn't where it should be the doctor says it travels for some people. I was reluctant to beleive him, by I've had ultrsounds, cat scans, colonscopy, endoscopy, and many xrays. Only thin that shows is signs of reflux. He started me on Zegerid and it almost went away now.
