ALERT: Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning

the new captain jumped from the deck, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water.

a former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the couple swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach.

After effect? I can't sit in a dentist chair and tilt my head back with that water thingy in my mouth without involuntarily lunging forward and gasping for breath. It drives dentists to angry fits. I've been thrown out of their office for this!!

Wow, this may explain a problem I have. I too almost drowned one time. We had a sailboat and I was guiding hubby into our stall. The water was dark and deep.

I missed the dock and went straight down, and down, and down. I didn't think I would ever touch bottom..and I didn't think I would survive much longer..I fought for my life and the whole time no one on top had any idea what was going on..
I started waving my hands in a downward motion to break my falling deeper..the water was so dark you couldn't see anything. I finally hit bottom and pushed with all my might and started going up slowly..I prayed I would keep going till I reached the top as I couldn't see the top in the dark water....I knew how to swim but was helpless in this situation. I finally got to the top gasping for air and hubby pulled me out..I wore a lifejacket from then on..I will not go in water over my head now..and I am sure it is because of that experience..even tho I am a good swimmer..I also do the same thing as you in a dentist chair now..

ANOTHER SPECIFIC, THE GREAT TRIBULATION: Now, having noted that, you must pay close attention to what the Bible says. Matthew 24:29 clearly notes one of the signs leading up to the second coming what this tribulation, a time that never occurred before nor would occur again. But it notes this tribulation was completely over before the "sign of the son of man" would appear in the heavens, declaring the messiah had arrived. VERY IMPORTANT to focus on this. That is, this specific, one-time tribulation associated with the end times is completely ended before the second coming, keeping in mind the second coming does not occur before the State of Israel is reborn:

My brother claims this happened in 1948..(first tribulation)..He has discovered this in his own personal bible reading. He also told me that the "signs" would happen all at once..instead of at different times..earthquakes and all the other signs would all be close together in other words. That is the supposed difference in the signs in the last days .

He always wants to get involved in bible conversations with me and I am burned out on them..had enough of that stuff to last a lifetime..

Snoozy, not looking for any signs..

our neighbourhood has seen a debate erupt in the local schools in our area.

of all things, the fundys want to stop an anti-bullying program that the schools are attempting to initiate.

in response to an article in the paper, i wrote a rebuttal.

Snoozy

What is "a "Queer" person?..you have that listed seperate from "Gay" and Lesbian"..is it new?

I also wonder how long the JW's will legally be allowed to get away with their "Hate crimes"..

Good post!

Snoozy

That's the answer I always get when asking them about the child abuse issue.."The brothers aren't perfect"..god will judge their hearts..duh!

About the comment on Jesus and Jehovah not being one..how do we know?
The JW's have barinwashed so many you almost have to start all over again and wash all you have been told by them out of your brain..

CC just wanted to ask if you got headaches from the Aggrenox..? I read almost half of people going on it get a severe headache at first.

I also looked it up in my insurance book and they are both a class 2 drug which means they are probably close in price..bummer..

OK CC I looked up waht you are taking. And yes it is similar to plavix! The difference is that it is a vasodilator and Plavix isn't. What gets me on looking it up is I am also on a pill that dilates the blood vessels besides the plavis. The also recommend the Aggrenox for people that have had a stroke because of that...I also didn't see it being available as a generic but did say that you can take persantine and a aispirin 3 times a day and it is the same thing. Don't know th eprice of persantine tho. It may be cheaper, you could look into that.

If not for the fact that Plavix is going generic I think I would switch..

This is the info I found on the difference between the two...

http://www.ehow.com/about_5471954_aggrenox-vs-plavix.html

I had 2 stents put in and I read they usually take you off the plavix after a while as it is only to prevent any clots from forming from rejection of the stent..but my Dr hasn't said anything about it as yet and it has been over two years..some Drs keep you on it.

Snoozy..isn't this fun?...

ps..I wasn't too happy about reading this:

As of 2009, Aggrenox has not had any FDA issued drug alerts since its approval in 2001.

Since Plavix's FDA approval in November 1997, there have been two major FDA Drug Alerts. In April 2005, the FDA issued a warning for the risk of developing a rare blood disease called TTP (thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) which essentially causes tiny blood clots to develop throughout the body. Ironically, the development of that condition, the clotting, is what the drug is supposed to prevent. In August 2006 the FDA issued yet another alert reiterating the potential for developing TTP.

I don't get mine on line..too afraid of what I will get. I think if you belong to a senior group possibly they could offer some help . I too take plavix and it is expensive if you don't have prescription coverage..I go through a mail order service and save that way. It is one my insurance offers so I feel safe using it. It used to save me a lot more than it does now though..seems like they are raising their prices to almost what the local pharmacies are charging. I have to really shop around as I go in the gap towards the fall of the year and have to foot the entire bill myself.

You just have to take a day and call all the pharmacies and compare.

The good news is that Plavis is finally going generic in November this year..Yahoo!..that means you will be able to get the generic probably for $10. at your local discount store..compared to the $535. they now charge..

One good point about medicare is the slowly closing of the prescription gap means it will only be half price for us seniors that go in the gap this year..

The bad news is that many pharmacies have raised the price of these drug by at least 1/3 to 1/2 of their cost compared to last year..I am sure it was in anticipation of the closing of the gap..

Snoozy who trys to get generic if at all possible!

ps..At this time there is NO generic for Plavix! (At least in the states and Canada)

Generic Availability

The generic drug name for Plavix is clopidogrel bisulfate. While generic clopidogrel is produced in some countries such as India, sales of the generic drug are blocked in the United States due to patent protection.

Patent Protection

In June of 2007, a United States judge upheld the Plavix patent, blocking Canadian pharmaceutical company Apotex from producing generic clopidogrel. The U.S. patent protection for Plavix will not expire until November of 2011.

My brother and I just got in a discussion on this..he said (to my reply of always having earthquakes etc) that all these things will happen at one time..not scattered over time..Then he told me to look up www.endtime.com and read.

I told him the bible speaks in so many parables how can anyone know what is true..they can twist the parable to suit their teachings..He led me to read Matt 24 and Mark 13 and 14 and Luke 17..so far I haven't even opened my Bible..told him I had enough of that stuff..

He also told me that Martin Luther King had rejected the book of Revelation..first time I heard of that.

He then went on to tell me of how Isreal became the "generation" of a fig tree in 1948...

After he started telling me again how Jesus was coming in a airplane or spaceship I told him I had to hang up as I had things to do..

Snoozy..not holding her breath for "the end" to come.
