Turn off the TV -- no more internet

When you are feeling depressed, it is to easy to waste hours on the zombie tube and tit -- you have to hit a certain wall of boredom before you can make your self do something, perhaps take night classes that lead to a better job, volunteer in activities that express your beliefs, get out of your apartment.

Turn off the TV, stop using the internet chats -- and you will end up meeting more people, doing more things, pick up books, go places..... because you will need something to do. And your depression will decrease pretty quickly, and so will your weight. With out diets, or exercise, honest just turn off the devices.

Otherwise you will just sit in the apartment zoning out on the internet and/or t.v. - eating in front of it, getting fatter, being alone, and going no where....

Laurel962 - did your husband leave you for another man?

Because seriously, you sound like you are 2 seconds from heart failure. Those gay people with kids and love, and families are not hurting you, perhaps they are showing you how it is done - because you don't have a clue.

So called pro-life are really pro-death

In survey after survey, we see the so called pro-life folks are proud to being

pro-war

pro-torture

pro-death sentence

anti-taxes

anti-social services

anti-birth control

pro-gun

And before you go off and say I am pro-life, but I don't support the list above, stop and think -- that may be true for you personally -- but it is not true for the majority of pro-life folks --- and the rest of us are tired of this group. So keep in mind when you in good faith following your believes and giving money to these groups, they are going to turn around and use that money for hate crimes, and to support anti-life polices. We closed down the Muslim charities, that folks gave money to - to feed the poor, because some of the money might have been used by hamas or other groups.... so why are we not shutting down these charities that do use their money to put up websites targeting these doctors and their families and kids? Terrorist is a terrorist, and people who give money to these groups are also terrorist, even if they never lift a gun.

Domestic Terrorist can be only leftest ... where have you been

I do believe the only folks that have ever been charged with terrorism in the US were all Environmentalist, who never intended or did kill anyone. Basically only leftest can be terrorist.

Now these folks who kill people, harass them at home, follow their kids to school, and yell at the kids in front of their friends, put up wanted posters on the internet, and draw lines through them when one dies, and then claim they are not encouraging folks to kill them, are just good old Americans exercising their free speech.

But hey protest the war, support single payer health, or environmental causes, and the FBI will put ringers in your group, and keep tabs on you, because you might be a domestic terrorist.

Now be a good American, and join state militias, declare you are Christian every chance you can get, and ask strangers if they have been saved, have tons of guns for personal use, and hunting (wink, wink) and threaten other peoples lives, and you are ok by the law enforcement.

Only local doctor brave enough

Tiller was the only local doctor at the clinic who did abortions - the other doctors would fly in - and they no longer want to fly to the middle of no where to do this.

Tiller's clinic like most of the Planned Parenthoods that perform abortions, spent the majority of their time providing free or low cost medical aid to pregnant women, mostly they delivered babies, and provided birth control. Now that the clinic is closed those pregnant women will also have no where to go, meaning they won't have as many pre-natal visits, and their wanted children are more like to die or have problems.

But the anti-abortion folks don't care about them.

Closing abortion clinics hurts live women and children, because frequently the people who run these clinics are the only ones who really care or provide care to the poor without medical insurance. The anti-abortionist don't care about them.

Yes they are terrorist because they killed out of ideology, and don't care about real people with real problems. They will not provide money or medical care to the pregnant women who came to this clinic for gyn services. Because they don't really care about people- there's is a pathological need to punish, but they never help.

Thadeus Crumb

You sound like a bitter divorced person -- but the way you talk -- I think she couldn't have run fast enough.

Dude, you are not likable and you should do the female population a favor and never marry or date. Please
