Still not edited entries but i did try a few unedited. It will take some practice to get a grip on how to do this.
I did 3~~gratitude,procrastination& serious illness ediquette. I think the last topic may be the one to go with as far as improving for ML and review. Better check to see if the topic has been done.
Many mistakes, but it is a small step closer to a world of the edited kind

odd bits & pieces

West Nile Virus Can Mimic Other Neurologic Diseases
West Nile virus can present with focal neurologic deficits or symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease, polio, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Some cases got by them last year, this year they know it is a rare possiblility. In Medscape there is a current article. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania on Tuesday ignored calls that he apologize and resign from his Senate leadership post as he defended comments he made comparing homosexuality to bigamy, polygamy, incest and adultery
Georgia,US
The newset proposed State flag would feature the state seal on a blue field in the top left corner, three red-and-white stripes & the words "In God We Trust" Designed by a Republican, echoes an old Confederate banner, but it does not include the more-familiar Confederate rebel "X"
They originally wanted it a foot larger than any other state flag.U.S. proposal efforts to allow defendants from states with legalized medical marijuana to use "medical necessity" as a defense against federal drug charges. Defendants accussed of violating Federal laws will have the right to inform juries they were legal in their state. It's a way to protect the democratic process in states where voters or legislators approve measures backing medical marijuana. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that "medical necessity" cannot be used as a valid defense against federal charges. Thursday's proposal would change a key part of the federal Controlled Substances Act to allow state laws to become a factor in federal drug cases.
I really doubt this will happen , not right now.Does it not seem obvious that the two most pressing worldwide needs are access to energy and water?
By providing the essentials of life in adequate measures, you will have eliminated, with one masterful stroke, much of the reason for aggressiveness and genocidal behavior.

Tobacco money not going for the cost to societys health:
Why have the tobacco companies been sued only to hand money back to the states for general funds? These funds were suppose to be about the ill health of smokers and the cost to society. I thought the money would go towards that expense. As it stands, looks more like the tobacco co were subsidised by gov. The Gov & Tobacco were in business together & the gov got a kickback. 
Madonna video on war comes later? She pulled it because of too much coincidence in reality. More than in the news?
Perhaps it be released later
Neil B is getting a divorce, His wife wrote a book about the B family. N.B. was was involved with the savings and loans years back. There was a scandal. He was never found to be in the wrong, I do not know if they looked. If they did would not know,GWB probably had all that included in his order to close all access to most of his Texas governor papers. Suddenly ,Neils long awaited divorce settlement has been agreed on! 
This was announced along with his ex-wifes publishers decision to NOT print her book. Perhaps the book will be released later.
So the news says it's over the sanctions are over. How about Hootoo. Is it over here yet? Can we talk yet?

I was moderated for using word *X* 
Here is my post per moderators email:
Figures there is a catch!
Posting:
Yes!
Sorry.
I was with my mouse.
I hate when that happens.
The place has lost all sense of moderation.
X is an adjective that best described my typing and mouse problem.
My main problem is X.
I did not call anyone else X.
I did not joke.
I did not use the wrong word.
I used a common MEDICAL term.
My Dr. uses X in my presence, several times a visit.
It is not a bad word
ggrrrrr
How depressing which is why I know I am in a weird mood.
I Should be mad 
I suppose later.
I'll be mad later,there is always time for mad.
Feedback wanted,please.
Just another mostly harmless X number

What's typically Americans
Posted Apr 17, 2003
A few people have said it is nice to read my stuff, to learn how Americans think.
I am not the average American 
The US statistics would say *NOT* Especially in the following areas:
My political & religious opinions are not typically mainstream or even of one party.
I do not have kids
Disabled as an young adult. NOT a result of gun, car, alcohol/drugs accidents.
Worked in medicine (mainstream) and new housing construction.
Married twice to men never married before & no kids. Differences in religion,education, income and family ways. Husband is 6 years younger than myself.
Live by choice in a neighborhood we can afford.Have one bathroom 2 bedroom house instead of what we could theorectically afford on paper in the way of loans.
Not over weight or anorexic or preoccupied with the size or looks of any one person.
Have no debt. Have an old fashion savings account.
One credit card, rarely used. Mostly for ID,airlines,car rentals.
Have no cable or satellite TV /fast internet/ cell phone bills.
Have an economical Truck that is not 4 wheel drive.
Avoid first run movies, professional sports,action movies,reality shows,day time talk shows & soap operas.
Not compelled by generalised shopping urges for a passtime.
Hubby & I take one large vacation together yearly. Several other small vacations/weekends seperately.Never go on vacation in the summer & rarely the
crowded in season times.
I can find most countries on a map. Little confused with the middle east & eastern Europe. I can get close.
Both of us have seen most of the US ,and been out of the country several times for leisure.
I generally wear casual, loose dresses and I'm soft spoken.
I watch PBS more than the large networks. Most just SAY that!
All going against the grain of *typically American*
The hubby just read this over my shoulder.
He got a chuckle & says "Good or Bad we are not typical here!"
