A woman was imprissoned by her own father for 22 years. She was 18 when she was locked in the cellar, and over 40 when the police found out.
She had seven children, from her own father, who repeatedly raped her. I have no words for this atrocity. How can this person possibly call himself a father?

Hindu Goddess
I saw this video of Lakshmi Tatma 8 limbed Indian girl and frankly, I don't know how to feel. I should feel sorry for this little girl, but I don't. People in her village thinks she's a reincarnation of the Hindu goddess of wealth. She's a conjoined twin. While in utero, she had absorbed her twin, and now appears to have 8 limbs.
Morbid News
I have read on the news that a woman throw her 6 and 8 year old off a bridge equivalent to 4 storeys.
It's hard to fathom that a mother can actually do this. I mean, it's your children. I thought that if you're a mother, your first and last thought should be to protect your children from harm. It boggles the mind how anyone could do this. I mean I know a few people who did nasty things which affects their children.
I'd like to think that was just an equivalent of a friendly fire. The children werent' the target, rather, they just got caught in the middle of it all. But to throw two children off a bridge...that's Susan Smith league (remember the woman who drown her two children in a car?)

Who Picks This Ad? Off with Their Head
How could Hillary's people bought a stock image and not check who the person is? This stock ad they bought end up being from the very person campaigning for Obama already. How screwed up is that? So maybe, the person who picked up this ad shouldn't be beheaded, but this is rather a famous mistake now.
Your Compensation Right!
I had an ectopic pregnancy once. I went to my doctor about it, though at that time, I didn't know I have an ectopic pregnancy. My Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy that is made by the embryo soon after conception and later by the placenta, was rising. It was rising at half the rate it should if I were pregnant. Two days before my tubes ruptured, I was told I had a miscarriage and to not worry anymore. I was in pain, but I stopped worrying about it, until I landed in emergency room. I had laparoscopy and lost a tube.
I would like to think that if I had the strength to do it then, I would be compensated for that doctor's arrogance. Accident Compensation means that I might have made sure that doctor won't let her arrogance almost kill another woman again. I had to pay for hospitals bills for surgery because of that doctor's stupidity. Keypoint claims would have been a big help if I knew about them then. I'd settle for not having to pay a penny for something that wasn't my fault. Nowadays, you can take a pill to dissolve blockage in fallopian tubes and avoid surgery. They have a No Win No Fee agreement which makes it secure for clients seeking compensation. They make everything simple and easy for you. Why not talk to their specialist now to see if they can help you.

Bone Tired
I am so tired. That not the worse part though. I don't know what I am tired about. I don't even feel like reading. That's the ultimate worry point coz I always feel like reading especially when I am feeling lazy.
I sleep a lot. I sleep like 7 hours a day! Unbelievable! See, I used too much exclamation points because really, I'm a 3-hour sleep kind of person.

Hair, Hair, Wonderful Hair
I am just thinking about hair again. I think I'd like a thicker hair. I have really thin hair.
I have tried different shampoos, but I have not found one to work so well. I think I might just have to buy a live aloe plant and squash juice of aloe into my scalp. I wonder if they do hair implant where it makes a girls long hair thicker.
I'm pretty okay with my hair, but having a thicker hair, not strand, because my hair strand is already thick, would be lovely!
Look at this Pantene commercial. It's the one shampoo I avoid as it flattens my hair into my scalp, but they do make nice ads.

Why Eat Garlic?
Back in my psychology class, we were talking about Prozac. My professor mentioned that Garlic is the prozac of the kitchen. Why?
Here's why.
♦ Garlic is said to reduce cancer like esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer.
♦ It may lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, inhibit platelet stickiness (aggregation), and increase fibrinolysis-which results in a slowing of blood coagulation.
♦ Garlic is mildly antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal. It has about 1% the strenth of penicillin.
♦ Garlic is known to lower blood pressure. My aunts have been taking whole garlic to alleviate high blood pressure, righ alongside copper bracelets.
♦ It has an antiseptic effect and is an excellent remedy for infectious diseases and inflammations of the stomach and intestine. The oil of garlic is absorbed into the alimentary tract and is eliminated partly through the urine.
and there are so much more about garlic here and here.

Benifits of Hobbies
USA Today wrote an article about how hobbies might help with Alzheimer's. Althought TV watching as a hobby is not recommended as it does nothing to slow down onset of Alzheimer's. It could even be a risk factor.
I like TV, I also like to read...both of these are classified as a couch activity. I am going to need a stationary bike to do my hobbies and get benifits of a sexy leg.
onset of Alzheimer's is delayed by education and by intellectually demanding professions.
Dr. Zaven Khachaturian, senior medical adviser to the Alzheimer's Association
The survey was centered on this three activities:
• Passive, such as watching television, talking on the phone or listening to music.
• Intellectual, such as reading, jigsaw or crossword puzzles, playing musical instruments, chess or other board games, knitting or woodwork.
• Physical, such as baseball, football or other sports, bike riding, swimming, walking or skating.
The study does not show that having these activities will stop Alzheimer's, but it delays it. I think delaying this devastating disease is a good idea.
Eric Segal wrote about a Nobel Prize contender in his fiction Nobel PRIZES. This guy was a geneticist. Nothing could be more "intellectual" than doing genetic research, yet this guy got the disease anyway. It's a great story, and worth spending time reading it. Eric Segal is the same guy who can make you cry in Love Story and in Man, Woman and Child. One of the best writer there is I think.

Five Ways to Sink Your Credit Score
1. Late payments
A credit score can plumet 100 points by being late on a bill. Any bill. Getting is back up is not as easy as losing it.
2. High card balances, low FICO score
FICO or credit score ranges from a really bad score of 300 to a great score of 850. Why is this important? It's how mortage company rates you.
Also, it's recommended to only have 35% balance on your credit card. So, if you have 1000 credit limit, make sure the balance is 350 or lower.
3. Closing credit cards
Don't close the older credit card you have. It will hurt your history. You're better off closing your newest account because it doesn't have as much history as the oldies you've got.
4. Too many in-store cards
Opening mulitiple credit lines in a short amount of time can send the wrong message. Lending agencies might look at it as unstable credit risk when in fact you're only looking for a great savings of 10-20% if you open in-store credit. So slow down on those discount offered by opening a credit card.
5. Fines that add up
I think cities are catching up. Fines like parking ticket and late book fees could ruin your credit score. If they pass it to collection agency, they can really go to town on your credit score. I guess it's better to pay up or don't get fines.

Desperate Housewives
Have you seen that episode where Susan Meyer met the new neighbor? Oh, that was so uncomfortable. I always wonder why they give Susan all this uncomfortable lines, and my husband said that it's because she's really good at it.
Remember the naked scene when she got locked out of her house? That was nothing compared to that Sunday episode where she pretends to help the neighbor find their lost dog. All the time, the dog was in her garage, Mike, her husband came home and let the dog out by accident. Tracking paint, the dog run to his owner and ruined a Dolce suit with paint. Whew.
On the other hand, if someone I met were that snotty as that neighbor, then they can just crawl back to their cave because I won't bother. People who are choosy and picky like that are never good to have around anyway. They will always find a way to make you miserable no matter if you're trying to be nice to them. They just don't have it in them to be nice. They'll say what they want to say and call it honesty and whatever they choose to call it. The bottom line is, they trample all over you and don't even care to notice that.

Verbal Abuse
Verbal abuse is a form of abusive behavior involving the use of language. Verbal abuse is different from profanity in that it can occur without profanity. In some countries, charges can be laid for verbal abuse under certain circumstances. Verbal abuse leaves no outer mark and no proof.
I think sometimes, it does leave a mark. It makes the abuse person look like they're recovering from intense illness all the time. Some are not as good an actor and they show that they don't have self-esteem anymore. They look like all the light and life are gone out of them. I've seen this twice, and they both manifest the same that way.
The problem with tailoring likes and dislikes in the quest to make the abuser happy is that it can backfire. The abuser will then accused the victim of having no original thought, and therefore make the abuser feel very righteous with their abuses.

Characteristics of Verbal Abuse
1. Verbal abuse is hurtful and usually attacks the nature and abilities of the partner. Over time, the partner may begin to believe that there is something wrong with her or her abilities.
2. Verbal abuse may be overt (through angry outbursts and name- calling) or covert (involving very subtle comments, even something that approaches brainwashing). Overt verbal abuse is usually blaming and accusatory, and consequently confusing to the partner. Covert verbal abuse, which is hidden aggression, is even more confusing to the partner.
3. Verbal abuse is manipulative and controlling. Even disparaging comments may be voiced in an extremely sincere and concerned way. But the goal is to control and manipulate.
4. Verbal abuse is insidious. The partner's self-esteem gradually diminishes, usually without her realizing it.
5. Verbal abuse is unpredictable. In fact, unpredictability is one of the most significant characteristics of verbal abuse. The partner is stunned, shocked, and thrown off balance by her mate's sarcasm, angry jab, put-down, or hurtful comment.
6. Verbal abuse is not a side issue. It is the issue in the relationship. When a couple is having an argument about a real issue, the issue can be resolved. In a verbally abusive relationship, there is no specific conflict. The issue is the abuse, and this issue is not resolved. There is no closure.
7. Verbal abuse expresses a double message. There is incongruence between the way the abuser speaks and his real feelings. May sound very sincere and honest while telling his partner what is wrong with her.
8. Verbal abuse usually escalates, increasing in intensity, frequency, and variety. The verbal abuse may begin with put-downs disguised as jokes. Later other forms might surface.
