Of course a man would scuff at you simple solution. Most men are intimidated by a woman who knows more or as much as they do about anything. Second most republicans do not know shit about what a “free market” or “deregulated market” means. If they did, they wouldn’t be so easily scammed.

The peas are still “sweet” for you, I hope

They like to think that they understand what is happening in the world of “high finance.” The one thing that this debacle should tell everyone is that no one understands what is happening in the world of “high finance” except those of us who regularly fleece those that purport to know.

P.S

We will get our hands on that trillion dollars, and it will be a trillion. Oh and by-the-way. McCain met with the repubs in the House and persuaded them to change the game to include his talking points for the debate. His advisers gave him some financial inputs to match Obama’s so that he could claim understanding of the fiscal needs of this country.

“Country first,” yeah, right

A persistent and alarming problem among elderly hospital patients is diarrhea — which is sometimes even life-threatening. A frequent cause, ironically, is the antibiotic used to address either the original illness or an infection that develops during the hospital stay, to which elderly patients are even more vulnerable than others. It is a frustrating situation for everyone involved.
A recent study conducted at Imperial College in London investigated probiotic drinks as a way to help resolve the problem, in much the same way some non-hospital patients eat yogurt when on antibiotics. (Note: This should be high-quality yogurt with live cultures.) The study randomized 135 hospitalized elderly patients on antibiotics into two groups. Twice a day during the course of treatment and for one week after finishing the antibiotics, one group was given a dairy drink containing three types of probiotics — Lactobacillus casei, L. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus — while the other had a dairy drink with no probiotics. The probiotic drink used in the study was Actimel, sold in US supermarkets as DanActive from Danone, which partially funded the study.
The result: Risk of diarrhea relating to antibiotics was reduced by 21.6%.
WHICH PROBIOTIC FOR WHOM?
Probiotic use appears to be a no-brainer, but the picture is more complicated than it may seem. Lead author Mary Hickson, PhD, RD, a research dietician and honorary senior lecturer of investigative science at the Imperial College in London, told me the issue of using probiotics as standard hospital protocol is still open. The reason is, dose and timing cannot be as carefully controlled in a hospital setting as in a highly monitored research study. Probiotics may actually turn out to be even more useful than this research indicates, since some high-risk patients had to be excluded. Also, since the treatment did not prevent all diarrhea, it may be that different patients respond to probiotic bacteria differently. In other words, what is effective in certain situations for some individuals does not work all the time. Indeed, another strain of bacteria might work even better at preventing antibiotic-caused diarrhea than the ones in the drink used, and only further research will reveal the answer.
In this study there were no adverse events for patients, which has been true of previous published trials using probiotics — though some questions remain relative to people with weak immune systems. In a very few cases, probiotic bacteria may have caused an infection in such patients, says Dr. Hickson, though it remains inconclusive. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the safety of probiotics has not been thoroughly studied so research should continue, especially in the elderly, children and anyone with a compromised immune system.
Next steps for the medical community? Dr. Hickson says that another study is now in order to see if using probiotics as a standard measure for post-antibiotic treatment causes diarrhea rates to fall in a broader hospital population. Next step for individuals? Based on years of work with probiotics, Daily Health News contributing editor Andrew L. Rubman, ND, points out that since each of us is unique, results may vary. While probiotic products will probably not be harmful, the same solution won’t work for everyone. Consider working with a physician knowledgeable in this area.

I’m glad you like my wording, and I enjoyed reading your take, I think you took a different road though, and its a point well taken about man rape, I agree with you there. I also agree with your assessment of the ‘gentlemen’s clause’ men tend to adhere to it (unless they’re an asshole) – there is also a ‘gentlewomen’s clause’ (don’t attempt/actually seduce my man and smile pretending to befriend me/be my friend, me no likee) and I hate to say it but lots of women blatantly disregard it, much to my chagrin, but honorable men shut that bs down in short order so it’s actually a good indicator of a current man’s worth.

I went the lighter road bc I took Mischa’s writing to mean being ‘pals’ with an ex-boyfriend, not a one-nighter or a forced situation but a sitch where a current man/woman would know for obvious reasons that bedding had taken place…years before…

I would discuss (if at all) my lessons/observations learned from prior relationships ONLY if I thought it would be helpful to assist in the making the current one better/the best, no need to mention names. It’s all no matter with me anyway, I won’t be running any b’day parties for an ex, I’d whip up a memorable one for you though : ) you can even put your exes on the guest list, I’m not easily threatened.

As I mentioned and you have to understand that I am very intuitive, I would absolutely know whether you mentioned it or not whether you slept with someone you introduced me to, it’s uncanny but it’s happened before on several/many ocassions. I observe nuance very well.

I do like (very much) that you are an honorable man in this regard, hmmmm, and many others : ) I have no problem telling you my personal list of your redeeming qualities, look forward to seeing you smile at me when I do. – No need to talk about when (again) we’re both busy in the short term anyway. I also know your a man like any other and perfection in humans, male or female is ridiculous to expect (um, yeah, that’s actually a disclaimer for me, hahaha, so not perfect)

You haven’t been reading my blog lately but I am running your rants there – and gave you a big compliment that prompted a pal to call me. I said in the entry that I couldn’t decide who’s rants I like better yours or mine, hahaha, I have what she calls a ‘healthy self-love’ and that may be her therapist-speak for ‘big fat ego’ hahaha

Have to go – and I got out of jury duty, so glad, it was a child molestation case, I used the ‘cops aren’t heroes’ line you gave me, sweet pea, they didn’t seem to buy it so I went low, can’t even write what I said to get out of it, so bad, the judge took me to ‘sidebar’ (chambers) to discuss it, I probably deserved a spanking…
