Jeff Flake (whom I just discovered was born in SnowFLAKE, Arizona , and how weird is that?) is kinda sorta making a name for himself these days as "The Republican Who Is Not Total Garbage." He supports DACA and thinks Trump is gross, which is a pretty big deal these days. Naturally, he's retiring after this term, so that a Republican who probably will not support DACA and thinks Trump is great can run in his place. Seems like a plan!
In fact, my mother would have told my brother to get his shit together and grow up. He actually waited for his girlfriends to drop by and do it for him.
I felt annoyed too until I had to get a TDAP vaccine booster. Was shaking, very nauseated, & very dizzy for about 24 hours. I wanted to die, it was that bad. Even my TEETH hurt. Evidently, some of the vaccines have mercury in them, and I don't think the human body responds too well to mercury, even at a low dose meant to preserve the toxoids. My Uncle contracted polio. It sucks. But the disease in the U.S is pretty rare.
Yes, young women do tend to do that stuff for boyfriends, because their mothers taught them it was good to "be needed", especially by men. Their mothers also taught them that men don't know how to do laundry, which is sometimes true.
Coming from a member of the medical profession ?!No, drinking " magic " water doesn't make me feel better, - what an obnoxious, asinine thing to write ! Nor is your statement true that Homeopathic medicines are " magic water. " You infer that that is true for ALL Homeopathic medicines.I think you know that. Maple water from Wholefoods I would eschew for a lovely Kombucha brew.Aspirin -derived from willow bark originally.Digitalis - from a nightshade ?BelladonnaHallucinogens -used to treat depression, Scientific studies being done on their ability to do soMarijauna -Used to treat nausea and loss of appetite in cancer and AIDS patients, glaucoma, arthritis, anxiety, and painMushrooms -studies being done on their ability to boost the immune systemHow's your knee-jerk bias feeling ?
The hero thing is one point I've been emphasizing in e-mails and calls to Collins, Corker, Flake and McCain: What do you want your legacy to be? That you ripped off the poor to give still more to the rich? This is your big moment in the spotlight to do the right thing--why not take it, and act like a mensch instead of a Rethugnant? (Sometimes even Rethugs have these bursts of uncalculating idealism, or so I'm told. Am not sure whether to believe this.)
Er, homeopathy is when a substance that reportedly causes the symptoms to be "treated" is diluted in water to the point where no molecules are present anymore and then ingested, either by drinking the water or adding the water to a sugar pill. You seem to actually be talking about "alternative medicine" in general, maybe? (Which, once studied and shown to be effective as in most of your examples, is just "medicine".)
Sorry for my knee-jerk assumption that you knew what the words you used meant! Don't worry, it won't happen again!
No, you're right. Homeopathy is diluted over and over, My Dad whose a Doc told me that many times. I did mean alternative medicine.Hard to focus when I've got total chaos around me.It was your assumption that I was using Homeopathy that got me " If you like drinking pure water, fine, but it's not medicine. "A friend of mine in college got certified in Bach Flower remedies, and had success treating patients with them.
"The Woo" = any alternative medicine or spiritual approach to life's problems
Homeopathy is water. If drinking "magic" water makes you feel better, fine, but it's not medicine.
Or Wasco!
Y'all are both in my thoughts and prayers. Much love to you.
Your mother seems to have been the overly tolerant type.

So the girlfriends were overly tolerant.

O.K, effed up here, she was diagnosed with MS. I fact-checked my assertion.

Well, he did give Doug Jones $100. (Mind you, so did we, and I have a feeling Flake is more prosperous than the humble leftie likes of us.)
