    Obama fires the CEO of GM

    You're right Laura....its not perfect....but the threat of organization keeps corporations honest.....the threat of corporations standing them down or sending the jobs overseas, has made some of the outrageous union demands a bit more reasonable (in industries other than auto that is!)

    Obama fires the CEO of GM

    I agree - Labor unions exist because of cruel and inhumane enslavement of workers - my own great grandfather was crushed in the mines in Pennsylvania...working 7 days a week with afternoons on Sunday off....40 hour workweek? Thank the labor unions...but of COURSE,they are now as corrupt and...

    Obama fires the CEO of GM

    Naw Tneah, these clowns are not entrepreneurs nor legit workers who came through the ranks and worked for the betterment of their nation and their wokers...they exploited and usurped their positions, and were corrupted by their power....if they worked for themselves and owned the company, of...

    Obama fires the CEO of GM

    Yeah, the AIG et al fiasco is too multinational to make a broad sweep (attorney pals in NY are having a field day with the lawsuits pending against zillions of these clowns....what we DON"T hear on the media would reassure us that there will be justice)... But GM - that's not the same case...

    Lyme

    Don't be sorry! We all freaked out in the 90's too,when it seemed the ticks went on a feeding frenzy! But chicken pox (varicella),fever blisters (herpes ), hep B (if you have the vaccination) will all come back as in your system, along with plethora of things.....mine is positive but in a non...

    Lyme

    I'm surprised on the choice of anti-biotic - are you allergic to penicillan or doxycycline?Those are cheap and work in the right dose(1.5-2grams a day for amoxycillan and I don't remember the doxy dose..) If you are having symptoms now, you may have contracted it again...if you were treated...

    Is it a good idea...

    I'm in agreement with taking medications shouldn't be a quick fix - BUT if a diabetic was told to pray it out or think good thoughts to control it, they would be a fool.....Depression is disease causing, ruins relationships, destroys families, incites alcoholism - oh lots of bad stuff.....and if...

    What's wrong with me???

    Did you break the bar into pieces first? That makes the calories leak out I believe! Also next time, if you really want to have remorse, dip it in crunchy peanut butter.......we've all been there! (after workout yesterday, a liter of water, homemade yogurt with fruit...still starved, a "bite"...

    Stomach Bug

    I had that bug- amazing you can feel so bad and not die isn't it? Mine came on quickly, threw up a time or two, slept for up to 16 hours with every joint and bone aching....forced sips of water and ginger ale, but 24 hours with just fluid is best, then add back in jello and clear soup if you...

    chalean extreme results

    I've been doing the rotation as written and dropped a pound or two - but I vary so much at this point in life,I'm not spartan on diet anymore,eat well,but prolly too much! I LOVE the program, the intervals and burns are effective when I work the intensity - didn't lose any cardio endurance when...

    My mom, 83, needs a hysterectomy...help!

    Sorry if I seemed insensitive, things sound different in writing than they do face to face.... DNR over 70 - worded that if in an irreversable condition, that life has become or is likely to become an unacceptable quality...yeah, good thing to have...any age actually....doesn't mean you won't...
