Tomb of Jesus Christ?? Do You Believe or Disbelieve

whiteheather39 @whiteheather39 (24403) • United States 26 Feb 07

Is this a ploy for attention for the documentary, to cash in on the amount of attention which was given to "The DaVinci Code". There is talk about taking a DNA test. My question how could this be possible a DNA would have to be...

ControlledChaos I noticed a lot of people posing questions about the DNA test. The ONLY thing that the DNA test can prove is whether the remains in those boxes belonged to people who were related. Somehow, it is hard to believe that they could find much useable DNA from...

Brian @wolfie34 (26770) • United Kingdom 26 Feb 07

I've just spent a fantastic weekend away from Thursday to last night on a 'retreat' down by the sea, as soon as I entered the retreat I transformed into a different person, all my emotional baggage, depression, negativity and...

ControlledChaos I can understand what you are saying. For me, I think it is because I'm very unhappy with my job (and there's a lot of stress that goes along with the job, but it's a long story!) and I'm not crazy about the town where I live. Sometimes you don't even realize...

ControlledChaos Experts in the media say that they love Vista, but that nobody should upgrade, especially if your computer isn't practically brand new - It is a very demanding OS. My mom just bought a new computer with Vista on it... I can't wait to go visit her and check it...

Do You Have Health Insurance?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 31 Jan 07

my hubby changed jobs recently and we were unable to carry over our insurance. His new company offers insurance but only after 90 days. So this leaves us without coverage for a little while. And boy is this awful!! Medicine...

ControlledChaos I have insurance, but my employer recently reduced our coverage. I just got a bill for $300 for a CT scan. That's my share after what the insurance paid. The scan took about a minute and a half and required just one hospital employee and it costs $900. I...

Does The Street Sweeper Come Down Your Road?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 2 Feb 07

Do you even know what the street sweeper is? When I was growing up, over the years at my mother's house, I would love to watch the street sweeper go by. This kinda large bulky truck with bristles moving around underneath it...

Sweating

missmuffet @missmuffet (238) • United States 29 Jan 07

I know someone who thinks they are allergic to their own sweat. If they sweat they break out in a rash. They have tried all kinds of creams, powders and beydryl pills. Nothing has helps. He went to the dr. and used what they...

ControlledChaos I'm not expert, but I would have to think that anything your body produces is completely innocuous to you. If a person sweats a lot maybe the problem would just be irritation from constant moisture. This would explain why benadryl doesn't help. I would keep...

ControlledChaos I don't know that it is mean. I grew up on a farm and we used to dock cow's tails out of neccessity. I know it's hard to tell and that cows are not dogs, but it never seemed as though they were all that affected by it as far as pain/discomfort. When it...
