My mother has diabetes....?
She takes her insulin, follows her diet pretty well (occasionally too much carbs), walks three times a week, and drinks tons of water. She still smokes, takes care of my nephews( 3 of them from ages 7 to 9) from 2pm till 7pm and doesn't get home till 8 pm. The main problem is no matter what her and her doctor try they cannot get her meds right. Her pancreas just rejects it. I know that quitting smoking is important and maybe less stress, but does anyone have any other thoughts on what my mom can try? or has had a similar experience? Thank you for any information......
5 AnswersDiabetes1 decade agoI have a 96 Mazda Protege DX. It completely died while I was driving today.?
I took it to a local auto shop and they said it was the distributor and fuel filter. For diagnostics, new distributer, labor, towing and fuel filter they said it will be about 1,500. 800 alone for the distributor. Does this sound right? It just seems a lot. Also if you had a 11 almost 12 year old car, would you put the money into or get a new car? It has been a great car, but in the past year I have already put around 2000 in it. It has 110,000 miles on it.
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoI have a 15 year old whirlpool washer that is having some problems?
It will fill up and drain just fine. The agitator isn't turning. So my wash is not spinning dry or washing. The motor is running so I don't think it is a belt(terms might be wrong). I did a load on all the cycles and it doesn't work on any of them, so I don't think the timing is off. So I am pretty sure it is the agitator.Is this something I can fix myself? or is it better to call a plumber? I really don't think I need to replace the whole machine. Any ideas would be appreciated.

17 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoI just read an article that made me mad about the polar bear born in captivity?
at the Berlin Zoo. Some animal activists are upset that when the mother rejected the baby that the zoo keepers fed the baby and helped it live. They say they should of let the bear die and now are demanding it be euthanized. They say it is domesticated. It took 1,000 and 1,000 of years for dogs and cats to be domesticated. I don't think that it would happen in 6 months. What are some thoughts on this? I think that to have it euthanized now is pointless and cruel.
