I would think twice about reporting this to my landlord. I've known landlords that passed along the name of the person who snitched. Drug dealers HATE snitches. That could create problems you do NOT want to have to deal with. Here are some methods other people have used to 'encourage' drug dealers to move away. If this doesn't work then your only option will be to move. No point in endangering your daughter's safety because of retaliation. "on 11/22/2005 I had a problem on my street. Drug dealers felt comfortable and residents felt pressured to stay inside and do nothing. I anonymously wrote letters to all of the neighbors telling them where the activity was, who was involved, how to report it online to the police department, and who to call. It made everyone aware and the drug dealers got scared (since they lived there too). It was fun to see them so scared and we have had no trouble with them again."

Leigh K, a question for you. I am not asking to provoke you but it seems that you constantly post antagonist respones to every section. This is a menopause forum. Some of us, (perhaps the unlucky ones) have genetic predisposition to poor health. I was a body builder work out vegetable eating machine, at 28 huge inner ear and jaw tumor (never did drugs, smoked or anything) chemo and four surgeries later (including hysterectomy have left me very unhealth. I am now 36, 2 years ago became so ill I couldnt walk. Auto-immune sle (3 aunts have perished from this) and hypogammaglobulenemia. Therefore, gamma globulin infusions. I have been to more doctors than I could count to the infinity number (slight exageration 'joke'). I have found that doctors are practictioners and try. I will consult a pharmacist regarding meds way before a doctor. Doctors know what the particular drug is useful for but, as I am allergic to sooo much. I fall into the 1% side effect profile. Pharmacist know the composition and such. I have personally taught many phycians about new side effects and after controversy and putting the pdr in front of them they say wow. But on the whole doctors try to do what is best for their patient. I am even sometimes glad they receive free samples from drug companies because they pass those on to us less fortunate long term ill patients that have to pay for meds directly out of our pocket. Now my question to you is. Have you ever had a serious illness for which you had no control, trust me I have now been through 9 surgeries. 2 in 2 months. I have a 13 year old son and an 11 year old. There constant worry is mommy are you going to die on us. Heart wrenching. I come to this forum for advice on what has worked for other people. As far as meds go, because unlike you. Some of us has to take them to have a better quality of life. You remind me of my mother that never had a soar throat telling me to get out of bed and run when the pain is so bad my leggs arent even working. I would do anything to not to have to take another pill but I would a least like to find some form of hrt to make my younger life a little more peaceful.... AND I don't feel guilty about that. Give me good advise instead of bashing please. We all know meds are harmful, doctors are not perfect but companies hire sellsmen to do what it takes. Its everywhere. Banking, escrow and Realtors are worse (Ive been involved in all three).

I have a 19 year old tabby who is suffering from CRF, which I really consider old age more than I consider it to be kidney failure. He is off the charts when it comes to longevity. The vet just gave me some RenAvast. My vet used to work with the Humane Society and he has been my cat's vet for 19 years. I'm going to trust him on this, but I'll update everyone in about a week or two to tell you if there is any difference. I understand people being cynical about something like this, but I figure if my vet of 19 years gave me this there must be something to it. I wanted to post my story for everyone because I don't want people to be too cynical about something that might help your kitty. Maybe it will work, maybe not. But in my case, it did come from a trusted source so there must be something to this.

I included a death rate range, because historically the death rate in West Africa has been around 90% or higher. The only reason it's coming down is because of Western influenced medicine, which has brought it down to around 60% in aggregate, and in large part because of experimental drugs which are no longer available. Of course in Duncan's case, it was 100%. My biggest concern is that the West tends to think it can't happen here, because we're America. Well it did. And I am somewhat skeptical that airport screeners using thermometers are going to be of much help, and I'm not buying into all the happy talk about how we have everything under control (yeah, right Dallas). I think we have adopted a very lackadaisical approach to this disease, thinking because we're in a more advanced country we are not as at risk. Time will tell. But I'm not comforted by the fact that both in Africa and here doctors and nurses are getting sick. These are people who understand the danger, and practice strict isolation technique.
