Trying to avoid debt
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-09-2012 - 2:49pm
I am 3 months married, and trying to find a job (Denver), but my money is just draining. I have two checking accounts; one is back home (GA) and my parents are able to put money from a trust fund into that which I live on basically. Rent is paid from that account, basically I live off that money that should be treated as savings for a house or something. It was given to me by my grandmother for college and etc. College was paid for, no loans thank God.
When I got a job here, I was working when I first moved here and was up until 4 months ago, I set up the second checking account with a bank here so I could do direct deposit, but I am always accumulating overdraft fees.
Should I just close this local account? My thinking is : well I have to have an account here for when I do get back to working so I can cash my check, but I feel like I am paying the bank just to keep my pennies there
I don't want to get into debt.
My husband works full-time, but does not make a lot..yet I am the one who grocery shops, pays the vet bills (wellness plan set up with Petsmart..a specfic amount is taken out of my GA account monthly in order to get free office visits and other discounts...is this worth it??). I pay my half of rent, my cell phone too.
On top of all this: I am slipping back into Depression and have an appt. with a psychiatrist which will add the cost of medicine to this.
Anyone have some advice? I feel like I pay for a lot and I'm the one not working and it's not by choice.

I won't repeat things that others have said, because they are valad remarks, and I would have said quite a few of them myself.
One of your bigest problems is poor bookkeeping! Close that local account, and find one that offers free checking; the credit unions are a good idea. Then keep account of what you spend in your check register! Then, you will know when you are about to run out of money. Never ever take out the last few dollars; even if you have to do without something, hold them sacred. Years ago, I would not take out the last $5 of the amount that I had to spend, then the next paycheck there would be $5 more. Saving as I went along. (this isn't expressed very well, but DH needs me, so I'm in a hurry). I worked at a bank (in good ol' GA), and if we made 3 overdrafts, it was " Goodbye, Charlie". Anyway, try it, you'll like it!

Hi Sarah, and welcome to the board.
I agree with PP that you and your DH need to have a real sit-down about...everything. Before DH & I married, we went on an Engaged Encounter weekend which was a 48-hour marathon of listening to talks, writing about what we felt, and sharing with each other what we'd written. Topics included spiritual and emotional but very practical things too, such as handling money, having children, making investments, etc. We pooled our money even before we got married, with each of us keeping a small account for ourselves, but being paid into it equally.
I realize that you came to the marriage with a trust fund, so my own logistics may not work for you, BUT the principle is the same: you are life partners now, and you have to communicate about EVERYTHING. Money, depression, everything. And be honest! Money is an issue fraught with emotion, and a couple has to be able to talk about it.
As someone else said, this is going to be a constant renegotiation for a long, long time. You have to get used to having honest conversations about money, roles, and so on, otherwise each member takes the other for granted, resentments fester, communication closes off, and love suffers. DH and I have been together for almost 30 years, married for 22, have raised 3 children, and been through counseling twice - once before we even got engaged and once when we'd been together about 10 years. There have been times when we barely scraped by, times when we were $100K in debt (NOT including mortgage), and now I'm happy to say that we are way out of debt, paying for private college tuition, own our home, have a strong retirement plan, etc. etc. BTW my DH suffers from depression, our son is bipolar, and I am just starting Serafem for PMDD, so we have quite a bit of experience with mood disorders.
On a practical note, I would cancel the local checking account if you can't manage it. I've banked with a credit union that has no branches anywhere near me for 30+ years, and had no issue with it. You don't need a local account as long as there are ATMs to withdraw money from your home account.

You and your hubby need to have a sit down and have a serious talk about money. Perhaps you have done that already but it is always something that needs to be reviewed and changed as life circurmstances change. Some suggestions I have read about is each person paying a percentage towards household bills (rent, utilities, food, and other common expenses) so that if one partner earns 65% of the income then they pay 65% of the bills. He cannot expect you to keep paying half when you do not have an income (or very reduced one).
You can include in your discussions future goals (buying a home as an example) and how you hoped our inheritance could be used for a downpayment for a home rather than month to month bills. Perhaps hubby would be more than willing to foot most if not all the bills if it meant protected your nest egg for a down payment. The money is already there. . and it always seems much harder to save. Then have a plan for when you do get back to work.
Maybe it is to combine your money and accounts rather than each paying a portion of the bills. I realize it is different strokes for different folks but dh and I opened up joint accounts and pooled our money together from the get go. There was no you pay for this, I'll pay for that. . etc. All bills paid from the same account and all our paychecks went to the same account. You can still have sepreate spending accounts.
Part of your discussion should include a budget (his/hers and ours if you choose to keep complete seperate accounts). You both need to work together towards financial goals (buying a house, NOT getting into debt) and come up with ideas and ways to accomplish them.
Good Luck
PS - I have dealth with depression off and on for years. It would probably help to bring this up with hubby, have an honest open disucusson on everything financial that way you won't feel likeyou are baring the burden of your money situation. After all you are partners in life.

What did you do before?
Sometimes for the sake having SOME income and to avoid the getting the blues (different from clinical depression), having a job, any job, is good. Where have you been looking?
If the checking account is costing money, it makes sense to close it for now and re-open one when you have a job.
P.S. Also replied to you in Job Seeker forum with some practical info. specific to Denver. I lived there for over 20 years.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Lilac!
Facts about Lilac
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lilac's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lilac is an 8 week old Labrador Retriever/Hound mix. We aren't sure what kind of hound she is mixed with - perhaps basset/beagle or bloodhound? Either way, she is too cute for words! Lilac's momma, Zinnia, is full grown at 45 lbs. We expect Lilac to be medium/large sized around 45-55lbs. She is a super spunky playful girl. She loves snuggling with her littermates but also plays very well independently. Lilac would be fine in a home with another pup or as an only "furkkid".
Lilac is currently fostered in Woodbury, CT but transportation can be arranged anywhere in the US for no additional charge.
Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in fostering or adopting this cutie! Our adoption fee is $300. $75 of the adoption fee is refundable if proof of completion of obedience class is demonstrated within 3 months of adoption. Each of our pups go to their forever family up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, microchipped, current on flea/tick/heartworm preventative.
Other Pets at Bonnie Blue Rescue - Virginia Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lilac, a Richmond Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

14th March 2013: the Met Office has issued a warning of ice across Britain. There's currently a Level 3 Cold Weather Action in one or more regions of England and Scotland.
The snow and cold weather is likely to have caused icy conditions, which may have created some disruption to school transport. See below for advice on how to find out which schools are being affected.
Is your school closed?
Schools closed in Norfolk
Clenchwarton Primary School in Norfolk is closed today due to broken heating system.
Schools closed in Northumberland
Guide Post Middle School is open to Year 6 Pupils only. The school is closed to all other year groups until Monday 18 March 2013.
Click here to check your local authority, which may be subject to change.
If there is heavy snow in your area it's likely that some schools will be closed as staff are unable to make it in and heating systems break down.
It can be difficult to find out if your child's school is closed - you're unlikely to get through on the phone as so many parents will be ringing (and staff might not have been able to get in yet anyway). So here are some tips for finding out if your school is closed:
1. Check the school's website: They may have put a note up (but check the information is up to date).
2. Check your local council's website: They often list schools that are closing because of snow. If you don't know the website for your local council, use this page from the government's website to find it, then follow the school closers link.
3. Listen to the radio: Your local station might list school closures.
4. Ring around other parents: It's worth checking if any of your friends know.
Are there any traffic problems?Snow and icy weather can obviously cause huge traffic problems, so if the weather is bad in your area, check before you travel. Although councils do their best to grit the roads, they're not always able to get around all the roads in time and one accident can cause traffic jams for hours.
If you're going out in the car when it's snowy, make sure you have plenty of warm clothes, food, drink and a fully charged mobile phone with you.
You can use these websites to find out if there are travel problems due to snow in your area:
- BBC Travel has up-to-the-minute travel info.
- RAC.co.uk will keep you informed on road closures and travel problems.
If you are stuck at homeRead our advice on staying safe in the snow - which includes looking after yourself, your kids, relatives and pets!
And if you need some ideas to keep the kids entertained, here's where to start:

Spicy eggplant, braised pork, sesame pastry balls and the fried coconut pancake are four of the largest dishes at Uncle Yip's Chinese restaurant in Sharonville, Cincinnati.
Despite this, all four dishes ended up on the plate of Miami University sophomore Xi Chen, a slim Chinese student and one of 566 Chinese students enrolled at Miami in the fall 2012 semester.
The University of Dayton says its new center in China will allow students and staff to collaborate with businesses on research and developing new products and technologies.
The University of Dayton China Institute opened recently in a fast-growing corporate region about 75 miles from Shanghai. Former Ohio Gov. Bob Taft and University of Dayton president Daniel Curran attended the grand opening at the Suzhou Industrial Park.
When you enter the first gallery of the Changing Landscapes exhibit, you see classic tapestries depicting Chinese landscapes. But the exhibit quickly unfolds to display both traditional and modern uses of embroidery, printing and sculpture that tackle the idea of landscape literally and figuratively.
Changing Landscapes is the first exhibition of contemporary Chinese fiber art to travel to the United States. This weekend marks the opening of the exhibition tour's only Midwestern stop - at the Dayton Art Institute.
The May, 2011 installment of SOCHE Talks features Haili Du, Instructor of Chinese Modern Languages at Wright State University.

As the countdown to the postseason progresses, the Washington Nationals (89-57) prepare to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers (76-71) from a position the Nats weren't even ready to dream about when the two teams last played each other. The last time the Nationals and the Dodgers faced off was at the end of April when the Nats' record stood at 14-5, which was the best in the National League followed by the Dodgers in second at 13-6.
Back what feels like ages ago, Nats fans were excited, yet still wary of getting their hopes up too high. But the Nats have yet to disappoint their fans; they have charged through this season, and they still maintain the best record in the National League, and in all of baseball.
With their magic number to ensure themselves a wild card spot at three, the Nationals could potentially secure their presence in the playoffs during this series, if they put in a good showing against the Dodgers.
Until recently, the Dodgers had been embroiled in a close pennant race with the San Francisco Giants, who have since broken away to lead the NL West by eight games. Despite their recent slide – they've gone 6-8 in September – the Dodgers still have a shot at the postseason. They are trailing the St. Louis Cardinals by just one game for the second wild card spot. With the postseason edging closer and closer every day, both the Nationals and the Dodgers are going to be anxious to get some more wins on the board to solidify their shot at a postseason appearance.
With the Atlanta Braves making some noise from five games back, and preparing to face the Miami Marlins and the New York Mets (who they have 10-3 and 10-5 season records against, respectively), the Nationals will need to show the Dodgers they mean business if they want to prevent the Braves from lessening the margin between them even more than they did after sweeping the Nats over the weekend.
Last time
When they last met, the Dodgers completed the first sweep of the Nats of the season – a feat that would only be accomplished four more times to date. But the Nationals are a much different team now than they were in April.
Then, the Nats were averaging 3.36 runs per game – a respectable number for a team who was astonishing the baseball community with a shockingly good pitching rotation. Now, the pitching is still just as good, but recently it has been the offense's turn to impress. The Nats' bats are averaging 5.07 runs per game for September, and they claim the second-highest batting average (.284) and the highest slugging percentage (.514) of the month, due largely in part to their smacking 32 homeruns already this month, the most of any team.
The Dodgers, on the other hand, have been struggling offensively, while they have continued to lean on their strength in pitching. L.A. was averaging 3.96 runs per game in April, but that number has dipped to just 2.79 runs per game for September, their 39 runs scored the lowest in the majors. Slogging through a team-wide slump, the Dodgers are hitting for a combined slash line of .223/.284/.345 for the month, which ranks 28th, 29th and 25th, respectively. Those numbers aren't much worse than their .249/.315/.367 slash line for the year, ranking 19th, 21st and 29th. The Dodgers' bats are going to have to come alive in Washington if they hope to take the win when the Nationals have home-field advantage.
Missing the ace
In that April series, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw pitched eight complete innings for the first win, setting the tone for the rest of the series. But with Kershaw out with potentially season-ending hip pain, the Dodgers could be preparing to attempt their playoff push without one of their most reliable pitchers. Kershaw claims the third best ERA in the majors (3.44) and the fourth highest WAR (4.9), so the idea of being without him for the rest of the season is a scary one for the Dodgers.
"Really right now you don't have time to brace yourself and it's really not a good thought," Manager Don Mattingly said, according to MLB.com. "It's almost like any other time when you don't want to think about having to go through it without Kersh because … you know you are going to be in the game with a pretty good chance of winning."
Kershaw's injury could be the third season-ending injury to a Dodgers' starting pitcher this year.
- Reliever Ronald Belisario hasn't allowed an earned run since August 13. He has faced 68 batters in that time frame and has only given up 12 hits.
Who's hot?
Andre Ethier (RF) .269 AVG, .321 OBP, .538 SLG, 2 HR (last seven games)
Luis Cruz (SS) .269 AVG, .269 OBP, .423 SLG, 1 HR (last seven games)
Ronald Belisario (RP) 0.00 ERA, .200 BAA, 16 SO, 1 SV, 68 BF (last 15 games)
Who's not?
A.J. Ellis (C) .000 AVG, .000 OBP, .000 SLG, 7 SO, 17 AB (last six games)
Matt Kemp (CF) .094 AVG, .121 OBP, .156 SLG, 9 SO, 32 AB (last eight games)
Probable starters
Jordan Zimmermann (10-8, 3.01 ERA) vs. Aaron Harang (9-9, 3.79 ERA)
John Lannan (3-0, 2.41 ERA) vs. Josh Beckett (6-13, 3.38 ERA)
Ross Detwiler (9-6, 3.16 ERA) vs. Chris Capuano (11-10, 3.60 ERA)

New England's Best Small Towns: Lyndonville, VT
By Steve Almond
What New England town can be called "perfect" when you have a four-months-pregnant wife and a spirited 20-month-old in tow? Lyndonville can.
Cradled in the heart of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, it has foliage, hiking, and a sugarhouse that seemingly leapt, fully formed, from a Robert Frost poem. Most important, it has what I am ready to pronounce the greatest family resort on earth: the Wildflower Inn, where innkeepers Jim and Mary O'Reilly just get that it's impossible to relax when you have to chase a kid around all day. What makes their inn so great? Let me count the ways.
1. On-site daycare by cheerful local college students.
2. A barn with actual farm animals that your daughter can pet—and then talk about for the next eight months.
3. A pool and a playroom full of toys to exhaust said child.
4. Food so sumptuous your wife will forget she was ever nauseated.
5. Nearby activities such as horseback riding and hayrides.
Of course, no New England town can be complete without a few eccentrics. We encountered ours on a hike, where a woman was dragging a large cross on wheels behind her. We assumed she was in community theater, but, as she eagerly explained, her purpose was indeed religious. And we took this for what it was: a sign that Lyndonville is God's own country.

Dr Ben "Bad Science" Goldacre sez, "I did a really sophisticated and complex data visualisation. I think you might enjoy it. There's definitely a pattern in there, I just need to decide what statistical tests will best extract the signal from the noise."

Dan Kaminsky sez,
There's been a lot of talk about some portion of the RSA keys on the Internet being insecure, with "2 out of every 1000 keys being bad". This is incorrect, as the problem is not equally likely to exist in every class of key on the Internet. In fact, the problem seems to only show up on keys that were already insecure to begin with -- those that pop errors in browsers for either being unsigned or expired. Such keys are simply not found on any production website on the web, but they are found in high numbers in devices such as firewalls, network gateways, and voice over IP phones.
It's tempting to discount the research entirely. That would be a mistake. Certainly, what we generally refer to as "the web" is unambiguously safe, and no, there's nothing particularly special about RSA that makes it uniquely vulnerable to a faulty random number generator. But it is extraordinarily clear now that a massive number of devices, even those purportedly deployed to make our networks safer, are operating completely without key management. It doesn't matter how good your key is if nobody can recognize it as yours. DNSSEC will do a lot to fix that. It is also clear that random number generation on devices is extremely suspect, and that this generic attack that works across all devices is likely to be followed up by fairly devastating attacks against individual makes and models. This is good and important research, and it should compel us to push for new and interesting mechanisms for better randomness. Hardware random number generators are the gold standard, but perhaps we can exploit the very small differences between clocks in devices and PCs to approximate what they offer.

You'd think that the proponents of SOPA[1] would give up that legislative dead parrot's ghost. But they're still doing the rounds on radio and in print, claiming that millions of Americans were 'duped' into opposing their harmless little internet censorship law.
The fresh (!) talking points go like this: Wikipedia, Reddit, Boing Boing and others 'lied' to the public about what SOPA was in the crucial final moments, 'abused our power' by going dark for a day, and thereby tricked legislators and the public into turning on a much-needed new law.

Tim O'Reilly tweeted: "Quantified self for caffeine addicts -- IOS app to optimize intake. (Didn't know half-life in body was 5 hours!)"
Two doctors at Penn State University have developed Caffeine Zone, a free iOS app that tells you the perfect time to take a coffee break to maintain an optimal amount of caffeine in your blood — and, perhaps more importantly, it also tells you when to stop drinking tea and coffee, so that caffeine doesn't interrupt your sleep.

More fun from the self-loathing society: This American Life had a show about how young female undercover cops infiltrated a high school and flirted with boys to entrap them into selling pot, so they could charge them with felonies and destroy their lives at an early age.
Last year in three high schools in Florida, several undercover police officers posed as students. The undercover cops went to classes, became Facebook friends and flirted with the other students. One 18-year-old honor student named Justin fell in love with an attractive 25-year-old undercover cop after spending weeks sharing stories about their lives, texting and flirting with each other.Sick: Young, Undercover Cops Flirted With Students to Trick Them Into Selling Pot (Via Aurich Lawson)
One day she asked Justin if he smoked pot. Even though he didn't smoke marijuana, the love-struck teen promised to help find some for her. Every couple of days she would text him asking if he had the marijuana. Finally, Justin was able to get it to her. She tried to give him $25 for the marijuana and he said he didn't want the money -- he got it for her as a present.
A short while later, the police did a big sweep and arrest 31 students -- including Justin. Almost all were charged with selling a small amount of marijuana to the undercover cops. Now Justin has a felony hanging over his head.

Criticism of C-30, Canada's proposed domestic spying law, has focused on the fact that the police could access certain kinds of ISP subscriber information without a warrant. But as Terry Milewski writes on the CBC, the bill also gives the government the power to appoint special inspectors who can monitor and copy all information that passes through an ISP, also without a warrant.
The inspector, says the bill, may "examine any document, information or thing found in the place and open or cause to be opened any container or other thing." He or she may also "use, or cause to be used, any computer system in the place to search and examine any information contained in or available to the system."
You read that right. The inspector gets to see "any" information that's in or "available to the system." Yours, mine, and everyone else's emails, phone calls, web surfing, shopping, you name it. But, if that sounds breath-taking enough, don't quit now because the section is still not done.
The inspector — remember, this is anyone the minister chooses — is also empowered to copy anything that strikes his or her fancy. The inspector may "reproduce, or cause to be reproduced, any information in the form of a printout, or other intelligible output, and remove the printout, or other output, for examination or copying."
Oh, and he can even use the ISP's own computers and connections to copy it or to email it to himself. He can "use, or cause to be used, any copying equipment or means of telecommunication at the place."
In short, there's nothing the inspector cannot see or copy. "Any" information is up for grabs. And you thought the new airport body scanners were intrusive?

Last night, Rob posted a very good piece on Apple's new "Gatekeeper" technology, which defaults to warning users of Apple's new Mountain Lion OS that software from companies that haven't been officially recognized by Apple should not be installed (though users can still choose to override it, or turn it off).
But I have one rather large quibble with Rob's piece. He wrote:
The truth is that Macs don't currently suffer much from malicious software, and DRM-esque lockouts are always circumvented. So what's the point of a DRM-esque system for malware prevention?
I agree that DRM is always circumvented, and it is especially circumvented by copyright infringers and malware creators. But I think that Rob has misunderstood the primary value of DRM to technology companies: because many countries' laws prohibit breaking DRM even if you're not doing anything illegal, DRM gives companies the right to sue competitors who make compatible products and services.
The law has always recognized that interoperability is good for competition, markets, and the public. From generic windshield-wiper blades and hubcaps to third-party hard-drives and keyboards and inkjet toner, and software like Pages and Keynote, the law recognizes that there is a legitimate reason to reverse-engineer a competitor's products and make new products that replace, expand and augment them.

BlackBerry comes out guns blazing
From launching two new devices - a full touchscreen one and a QWERTY keypad one - to renaming the company phone maker comes out all guns blazing
- Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/XPRESS
- True to touch: Media gets a first look at the Z10 during the launch in Dubai XPRESS/Ahmed Ramzan
DUBAI BlackBerry maker Research in Motion (RIM) has announced two new devices – Z10 (full touchscreen) and Q10 (qwerty keypad) along with the new OS 10 at a glitzy four-hour event in the Burj Khalifa that ran simultaneously in five other cities around the world.
However, only the Z10 was launched in the UAE (available in retail shelves mid-February), while the Q10 will be on UAE shelves in the second quarter.
Wait, there's more. The company name has been changed to BlackBerry (goodbye RIM) and it has roped in singer-superstar Alicia Keys as global creative director.
Media, telecom and retail executives were given a hands-on experience with BB10 devices at the "Experience Zone".
"We're building new ways of connecting people, moving from mobile communications to mobile computing," said Robert Bose, regional managing director for the Middle East and Africa.
The Canadian innovator launched their new platform simultaneously in Toronto, Johannesburg, Dubai, London, New York and Paris.

The elaborate event involved simulcasts and web streaming -- allowing full HD broadcasts of the event using four satellites whose footprints cover the globe.
Speaking about the new OS, a company official said the new BB10 operating system allows connectivity with Citrix, a platform used by big firms and media organisations for remote access, as well as HP's e@Print. They form part of a suite of 70,000 apps (including numerous Arabic apps), which RIM claims is the largest application library for any new platform at launch.
BlackBerry has also launched a new voice messenger service (BB Messenger Voice - BBMV) between Wi-Fi connected BlackBerrys, it was not clear whether this will be allowed in the UAE.
The launch is viewed by many to be a make or break for BlackBerry which has seen lost market share to iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Though the new BB10 won't hit Dubai stores until mid-February analysts reckon its new features could hot up the smartphone war.
The Two phones launched -- a full touch-screen gear (Z10) and one with a qwerty keypad (Q10) fan hopes the Canadian firm could be restored to its old glory as a technology innovator.
• The new BB10 devices come with long-term evolution (LTE)-support, dual-core processors, plenty of RAM and storage.
• BlackBerry Balance -- keeps work and personal data separate
= Z10 has a 8mp back camera and 2mp front camera
• BBM Voice –- Analysts dub this as the "game changer" app, allowing voice chat over Wi-Fi.
• True multitasking – Up to 8 active applications can run at a time
• Hub – it collects a user's e-mail, text messages and social-media alerts in one place.
- Story maker" allows users to put videos, pictures and music in a single presentation.•
• Time Shift mode: Great for choosing the best expression, shot or feature from multi-images and making one image
First mobile banking app in UAE on BB10 is from Emirates NBD.

About Me
I'm a freelance web designer with a background in graphic design. I'm also a part-time nutrition student. When I'm not creating or designing, I'm studying nutrition. When I'm not doing either of those I'm usually eating or talking about food. I've been interested in health and fitness for a long time but it wasn't until I became seriously ill with a mysterious chronic autoimmune condition in my early 30s that I realized how intricate and complex the human body is.
Along my journey to healing from chronic illness and Lyme disease, I discovered that eating healthier has improved my life the most. This blog is not just a journal of my progress but is also intended to help anyone that might be suffering from an autoimmune illness. My goal is to learn how to support the body's natural healing process holistically so that it has the resources to fight off illness the way it was designed. As I learn more every day, I write about my journey here at Diagnosis Unsolved. Read more about how all this started and my story here.

Mount and Pet offers
|Gemsmith | 02/09/2009 23:26:20
I apologize in advance if this is not the best venue for my recommendation. It seems to me, that flagging (in a non pirating way), legitamate offers from WOW for Mount/pet offers would eliminate the problems with false/scamming offers. I know, this may be difficult, and maybe impossible, I am no gurue. Perhaps, a selection via subscription? I am sumwhat nieve in the tecno rhelm.

Hi Gemsmith,"There's no such thing as a free mount." - Warcraft Proverb
Blizzard does not offer any free mounts (please see signature). The only thing close we offer is the Recruit-a-Friend program, which we provide a Zhevra mount in exchange for you getting a friend interested in the game.
Any other such offer for a mount/pet is a scam.

I first sniffed it on a paper in a store and found it really different, chic, classic and modern at the same time - if it is possible... The price at Fragrancex was so inviting that I HAD to buy it! Well, my first impression wasn't exactly what I was hoping for: sincerely it reminded me church's flowers/candles smell... On the other hand, it was changing into an agreeable fragrance, floral, clean but chic. I tried it again and now I'm in love with Gold! In fact lily and amber is the best description for that. Definitly it it not for anyone. Strongly recommend test it before you buy.

"One of the most inspirational violinists today"
The Financial Times
Winner of the 1998 International Violin Competition "Premio Paganini", Ilya Gringolts was also awarded two special prizes for the youngest ever competitor to be placed in the final and the best interpreter of Paganini's Caprices. Ilya studied violin and compositionin Saint Petersburg with Tatiana Liberova and Jeanna Metallidi and at the Juilliard School with Itzhak Perlman. He was also one of twelve young artists selected by the BBC for their New Generation Artists Scheme.
Ilya's recent and future orchestral highlights include the Mahler Chamber Orchestra/Abbado, a tour of Germany and Spain with NDR Orchester Hannover, a tour of Japan with the NHK Orchestra, Halle, Liverpool and Birmingham Symphony Orchestras, Deutsches Sinfonie Orchester Berlin/Norrington, BBC Scottish Symphony, Sao Paulo Orchestra/de Burgos, Israel Philharmonic, Boston Haydn & Handel Society, Royal Scottish National and Basel Symphony Orchestras, Orquesta de Barcelona y Nacional de Catalunya. Ilya has undertaken extensive tours of Asia, Australasia and China - in 2009 he performed with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and toured South Africa with Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra and China with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra.
In recital, Ilya recently presented the complete cycle of Bach sonatas with Masaaki Suzuki at the Verbier Festival. Recent and future recitals and
festival appearances include Lucerne, Kuhmo, Risor, Zermatt and
Ilya won a Gramophone Award for his Taneyev Chamber Music CD with Pletnev, Repin, Imai and Harrell. He had previously recorded three discs for DG (Prokofiev Violin Concerto No.1 and Sibelius Humoresques/Violin Concerto, a disc of solo Bach and the Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich first Concertos) which received outstanding reviews. Ilya's recording of Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst for Hyperion which includes the six Etudes, Erlkoenig, Otello Fantasy and Elegy featured in Gramophone's Editor's choice, and his Hyperion release of the Taneyev and Arensky Violin Concertos with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra/Volkov was met with enthusiasm. His 2010 release of Schumann complete violin/piano sonatas with Peter Laul for Onyx was highly praised.

Homophobia Part 12: The Gay Heroes
Before I get into the gay heroes, I'd like to highlight two pieces of news from today. The first, comes from our president's state of Illinois "where a county judge ruled the state can decline to renew its contracts with Catholic Charities to provide publicly funded foster care and adoption services." In other words, because the Catholic Church doesn't pretend to have to honor the state's Civil Unions for homosexuals (because the 1st Amendment protects them from the state dictating their religious doctrine), they may no longer be able to aid adoptions and placement of foster kids. This is like the situation in Massachusetts, where the Catholic Church had to give up adoption services because they wouldn't let gay couples adopt children. This is just another instance of where the gay bullies have come into the religious arena and made America less American and more French. First they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't Catholic… Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me, to paraphrase Rev. Martin Neimoller.
The second instance of the gays taking over our country occurred as a result of the actions of some left-wing celebrities that include Eddie Vedder (whose band Pearl Jam is named after his grandmother or his aunt's marijuana jelly) and Natalie Maines (whose outspoken hatred of George W. Bush has hurt her Dixie Chicks record sales). They donated to a defense fund to get three guys that murdered three cub scouts after first hog tying them naked and performing some satanic homosexual ritual on them. HBO (aka Homophile Box Office) did a movie sympathetic to these boy predators, which interested the keen minds of some celebritards who have now secured the release of murderers.
Like most Democrats who think the Boy Scouts are a hate group, these half-wits probably sympathize with murderers rather than the victims. And spare me the nonsense about how even some of the victims' family members didn't think they were guilty. Dead cub scouts aren't obligated to have genius family members in order to earn my sympathy. Furthermore, had it not been a couple of celebrities who sided against their own country because George W. Bush was a Republican in a war against a brutal dictator Saddam Hussein, who gassed his own people, killed hundreds of thousands of them and whose torture/prison system rivals that of their other favorite dictator, Fidel Castro. Through their previous stands on what they consider morality, I presume these murderers still guilty because I must judge them by the company they keep. Eddie Vedder and Natalie Maines are not good company to keep.
Gay Heroes
Here, I'm referring to the people that students in California and eventually the rest of the country will be learning about after the recent passage of legislation in California that mandates gay history being taught in public schools without any mention of the diseases, drug problems and mental health issues that too often accompany homosexuality. I covered this legislation in more depth in Part 11.
While I've written about Ernst Rohm, Hitler's mentor, head of the Nazi Brown shirts and the second most important homosexual in gay history, I will begin with the person I believe is the most important and influential homosexual in history. His name is John Maynard Keynes. Most have heard of him. He was an economist in England from the World War II era.
While more complex than I'll get into here, his main theory is that during a time of recession or depression, governments should borrow money and spend like crazy. This is called Demand-Side economics. Another part of his theory is that governments should spend less during fat economic cycles, but since elected officials only want to get reelected, that never happens. Increased spending in both fat and fallow times ultimately leads to national bankruptcy. The only way this theory could work is if officials in charge of increasing and decreasing spending didn't have to worry about getting reelected. In other words, it only works in dictatorships. As we know from the gay Nazis in Part 11, many homosexuals love absolute power, while others want the responsibility of making decisions taken from them so that they no longer have to feel guilty about the decisions they've already made and those they'd have to make in the future. The first type of homosexual is the ruling-class leader, and the second is the submissively socialized. So Keynes' economic theory sucks.
Another reason this theory sucks is that it's based on Keynes' assumption that all economies would be Marxist/socialist in nature. Marxist economies don't worry about the effects of inflation due to currency devaluation that inevitably comes from spending borrowed money. Government-induced inflation was Lenin's way of raising taxes without legislation.
The most important reason this theory sucks is that Keynes was a homosexual. While Keynes was alive, homosexuals weren't allowed to adopt children, and, since homosexual relationships don't produce children, homosexuals rarely had children. What does this have to do with economic theory? – Everything. Part of our obligation as inhabitants of earth is to leave a country and an economic environment hospitable to economic growth for our future generations. Homosexuals have no future generations, and therefore, Keynes had no consideration for his future generations in mind when he came up with his spend-all-the-money-and-then-some-immediately theory. Without progeny, why would he be concerned about leaving wealth to his heirs?
How is this affecting the world today? – In a big way. We all know that President Obama and the Democrat Party are Marxist/socialists, but they use Keynes' theories as a cover for what they're doing, namely bankrupting America by printing money and borrowing more than 40% of every dollar the Federal Government spends. This is wreaking havoc on the dollar, and also on other global currencies because they're all pegged to the dollar. Riots are happening throughout the world because other countries are feeling the food and energy hyperinflation much more than we are in America.
While I did see that Keynes might have belonged to an organization famous for having sexual relations with boys, I don't know how reliable that is or his level of involvement. But I do know that our economy and the global economy are hurting badly because of this homosexual's theories. Part of the problem liberals have is that they can't look at things objectively. They've secretly convinced themselves that there is no difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals, nor in the way that each thinks. I say secretly because, while you and I know it, liberals still aren't clued into their own personally secret self-deluding. They repeat their lies so many times that eventually they actually believe them.
God told us to be fruitful and procreate, not to be fruits and recreate. With a future generation to consider, heterosexuals are going to be more prudent with money and wealth. Homosexuals, without a future generation to worry about, are going to burn money and destroy wealth through wealth redistribution programs that make them feel good but serve no edifying purpose other than to enslave the minds of those who get hooked on the dole.
Actually though, gay activists have bullied the government into spending more on AIDS treatment and R and D than on that for cancer. Cancer kills more Americans every year than AIDS, but because AIDS normally kills gay men and IV drug users, that's where the money is spent. With that in mind, think about this. Cancer isn't communicable. If we save the life of a cancer patient, that person isn't going to give cancer to another person. However, saving the life of an AIDS patient isn't going to mean that that person will get rid of all the sinful urges that most likely got them the AIDS in the first place and refrain from putting others at risk. Remember that the next time you're writing a check out to the IRS. You are willingly funding efforts to keep AIDS patients alive, able to live somewhat normal lives and able to spread their disease, thus actually increasing the chance that you might get it through infected blood supply or random acts of blood splatter. Nonetheless, if you get cancer and can't afford the treatment, the government may say, "Go scrub rocks, this heroin addict's AIDS cocktails are too expensive for us to bother with you."
It kind of reminds me how liberals don't care a bit about the life of an unborn baby, but if that baby grows up to be a murderer on death row, the liberals will do everything in the world to keep him alive so that he will get more opportunities to kill others in prison. I'm not saying I'm rooting for the government to let all the AIDS patients die, just that the difference in funding amounts speaks volumes about the liberal government's moral priorities.
Next gay hero, Boy George. That's all I really have to say, unless people don't read much about his constant troubles with drugs and getting busted for chaining a man up in his home. George Michael, another gay singer, has a tendency of getting busted in public bathrooms looking for love in all the wrong places.
However, as far as singers go, I think Elton John is a worthy example of a homosexual. His songs are just fantastic, and he sang at Rush Limbaugh's wedding. Upon doing so, he developed a lasting friendship with Rush, not allowing their differing opinions on gay marriage to keep them from mutually respecting each other. That's classy.
Morrissey, however, is just plain batty. After the Norway massacre, he had this to say: "We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Sh*t every day." Like Hitler was, Morrissey is a vigilant vegetarian who thinks "Meat is Murder" as he used to sing as the front man of The Smiths. Both seem to think killing animals for food is more barbaric than slaughtering humans. Morrissey's just another gay musician with moral equivalency troubles. I love meat, Morrissey- just not the same kind as you. MMMMM, burger.
For further proof that aliens are secretly breeding with humans, look no further than bisexual Lady Gaga.

Montes3102's curator insight, March 7, 2013 8:47 PM
Cleopatra se suicidó. Fué enterrada junto a su último amante Marco Antonio que también se suicidó.
Joel Mondragon's curator insight, October 18, 2013 11:58 PM
Horus or re was the sun god which was very important to the Egyptian people. He was the one that took care and ruled over the people. Horus took the form of a falcon and portrayed a very powerful being. His name meant being bold and brave all of ancient people counted on him for religious purposes and praised him.
Micheal Shultz's comment, October 5, 2012 5:10 AM
Very cool "Topic"! Ancient Egypt has been a lifelong fascination for me and you've put together some cool links!
Kristine Rapisura's curator insight, February 21, 3:02 AM

Mr. Mayer's team announced the release of the "Paper Dolls" music video via Twitter this morning, and hinted that we should all "get ready to Prancercise":
Clicking on the YouTube link confirmed our wildest hopes and most devastating fears: that Mr. Mayer had, indeed, teamed up with Prancercise creator/viral video sensation Johanna Rohrback to create the single weirdest music video we've seen this year. Mr. Mayer is nowhere to be seen; instead, there's Ms. Rohrback with her signature blown-out hair and high wasted pants, talking in that creepy, demure way to the camera: "What about a prance to romance to? So what about Romancercising to John Mayer's 'Paper Dolls'?"
Before the Prancercising—sorry, Romancercising—can take place, Ms. Rohrback delivers some words of caution: "If you're pregnant or nursing, you should consult a physician before you Romancercise. However, if you're not pregnant or nursing, why not consult Jarrad?" Um, who is Jarrad? Moving on.
What follows is the typical Prancercise ridiculousness—namely, Ms. Rohrback prancing and flailing through her neighborhood streets, this time to the tune of Mr. Mayer's sultry melodies. The lyrics to "Paper Doll" appear in white text across the screen. Really, people: what is this? We'd be certain it was a joke, had the video not been uploaded by John Mayer's official site, and announced via a verified Twitter account.
It all seems a little strange, but maybe Mr. Mayer is a cultural genius, and we're witnessing the birth of the music industry's newest trend: viral video sensations starring in A-list music videos. Let's just hope the producers of Yeezus aren't preparing to dial up Grumpy Cat.

Leflunomide and methotrexate
Common Questions and Answers about Leflunomide and methotrexate
I was on
(MTX) for more than 20 years (10 years on the tablets
10 years on the injectable) and it served me well. My doctor said I had to take a break from it in 2008 and just took me off it altogether with no replacement. I suffered few side effects from the withdrawal of MTX and have been getting along fine with a few over-the-counter painkillers and tramadol ever since.

I was on
since 2009
now I am lactose intolerant. I just can't seem to eat anything with dairy even with the dairy supplements to help ease the symptons. Has anyone else had this problem? I just got changed to leflunomide daily. WIll I get any better with this medicine? Thanks in advise for any suggestions.

I have read too much bad stuff about this medicine
I am hoping someone has had a good experience with it. I have tried

Though non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAID) and steroids are the gold standard of treatment, more emphasis should be laid on physical and occupational therapy, rest, heat pads and use of assistive devices for walking. Both NSAID
steroids should be used with caution given your age

I am now on
instead of

lost 13 lbs or 10% of my body weight in one month. So had me get off it
rid my body of it by taking a powder for 5 days 3 times a day. Now its been 3 weeks since I was into Rheumy and did my lab work for Enbrel injections. I am now swelling, achy, and painful joints.

This was because I went to the doctor with pain in my knees
large bumps on my elbows. The doctor ran a rheumatoid factor test
it was positive. The doctor sent me to a rheumatologist that I saw for 5 years. I started on plaquinil, but it wasn't helpful, so switched to methotrexate. MTX made nodules go away. During the time I was getting treated wih methorexate, I had almost constant herpes outbreaks and low grade fevers. Joints got better but pain continued to get worse.

Examples would include
, Imuran, Arava
Plaquenil. Another approach you may want to try is to have the doctor add a medication to protect her stomach and keep her on the Lefora since it is controlling her arthritis.
