politics

From what I hear, with the mid term elections coming up, the Democrats are likely to need treatments for depression in a few months. I don't know what the outcomes will be, but it certainly isn't looking to good for the Dems. After the way they treated Bush, I can't spare much sympathy for them. Sometimes you have to make your mistakes and suffer the consequences. Too bad we will be the ones doing the suffering.

life insurance

I am so thankful that I'm young enough that I don't have to worry about term life insurance. I already have plenty of bills without it! After I pay for my auto insurance, rent, and other living expenses, there's nothing left! And forget about health insurance- that's just too expensive for a person like myself. I am too high risk to be considered "insurable", even though I'm extremely healthy.

weight loss

I am officially in desperate desire for a weight loss dietary supplement. If only it worked! It is just such a pain to exercise and to eat healthy- I mean, who WANTS to eat broccoli and celery and run miles and miles per day? Forget it! I would be in HEAVEN if I could have my cake and eat it too- literally! Wouldn't it be great if I could eat cake and twinkies and anything else I want without gaining weight? Oh, if only!!!

eczema

I have eczema but thankfully not a serious case. The most eczema treatment I need is hand lotion. I went to school with a girl who had a MUCH worse case of eczema and needed all kinds of oral and topical medicines. She was a nice girl but I'm very glad I'm not stuck in her shoes. It would be such a pain to deal with that for your entire life!

alli

Once upon a time I was against all diet pills except alli. Since Alli changes your digestive tract instead of your metabolism, it wasn't as bad. But now I think I'm just against diet pills. I mean, if you are massively overweight then yea, maybe diet pills are okay. Alli just sorta provides a medical "incentive" for eating right- it comes out the other end if you don't.

acne

Normally I buy acne treatment and use it, but I haven't used it in a few days and I'm surprised by how well my skin has reacted without it. Surprisingly little trouble! Unfortunately I suspect this is kind of like the calm before the storm- if I go without it for too long I am sure my skin will react with a vengeance!

sleeping

I was really surprised by how hard I slept last night! Normally I'm a pretty deep sleeper, but I'm also a bit of an insomniac and have had trouble sleeping for many years! I've tried everything to "heal myself", from changing my bedroom to taking sleeping pills. But last night I was really out, surprising considering how rare that is for me!

hair loss

One thing my family definitely does not need is a hair loss cure! If anything, we have so much hair in our family that we could stand to lose a bit of it. It's in the genes, I guess, but we just all have long, thick hair, so much so that it can be annoying to care for all of it!
