i scheduled a seriously needed hysterectomy and now anesthesiologist refused ok until my small aneurysm is repaired with coiling. is the risk really that great? the coiling scares me more than the outcome of the hysterectomy. i'm 60, non smoker.

After 11 years in a big high school I finally got the class from hell. A large group who were friends already got in the same period, and make a game of tying to takeover the class daily; heckling, yelling, walking around, defying rules. I'm becoming a nervous wreck, have tried several techniques, called home, written referrals, and they get worse. the latest event involved a girl who I called home about telling the entire class I told her mom I was a racist, and, after the noise died down an AP took them all away to fill out long complaint forms; I'm being investigated! Now the students are waiting to see how much trouble they have caused me.

I'm out of ideas, dread each day just for that one hour, and feel like I'm being paid to simply be verbally abused and ridiculed by a group of teenagers. The fact that after so many years of consistently good performance, and even with all the correct documentation of the discipline problems so far with these kids this year, I get no feedback other than "it's being looked into", makes me very depressed. without administration backing me up, I need some new ideas to deal with this class. quitting is not a financial option at this point. any other teachers out there can point me in the right direction? I'm getting weepy at home and nauseous at work.

just had a nodule biopsied and it's bruised looking and sore. if the nodule is malignant, how can they assure me that sticking a needle in it and poking around that much (it was a lot) and withdrawing the needle will not pull malignant cells out into the bloodstream? i'm really creeped out.

I have been paying only interest on an ING Orange mortgage for months, on 56,000. loan, and i can convert it to a fixed rate 15 year loan anytime i choose. my payments would be about $450.00 mo if I do it now. any smart suggestions on waiting for lower interest rate in few months or doing it now? (I've googled trends and frankly it is confusing)

please only knowlegable answers. i'm a little freaked. i'm supposed to start Humira injections for psoriasis and arthritis this week, but ended up having a thyroid biopsy yesterday for a thyroid nodule that grew big over summer. each 'specalist' doctor sees their own thing only, one says Humira has nothing to do with the thyroid, but if it is cancer, should i really be taking something that suppresses my immune system? derm says humira is specially targeted, but then drug info says don't start it if you have an infection ???? scared and confused here. anyone?

the endo was all happy about how easy and cheap treatment would be, but i feel like i need to be in the hospital! heart racing, hot then cold, light headed, nausea, weepy, weak, out of breath. is that normal for "a little" overactive thyroid? my thyroid is enlarged too. i stopped taking Enbrel for psoriasis and arthritis 2 mos ago, and wonder if that triggered this. how long before the Tapazole makes this better? i need to teach high school like a normal person and feel like i'm losing it! please no bible quotes..i'm freaking out here and need some real answers. thanks.

made a photo slide show for my classes tomorrow (teach high school photo class) with 9/11 images and can't think of music to go with it. any suggestions? asap? i can get it from limewire and add it tonight. thanks.

here in Miami, the streets are crammed full of Cuban Americans dancing and celebrating and it's all over every news station on tv. the mayor is begging people to get out of the streets if they see emergency vehicles and stuff like that. is this all over the US news or just local here? it's sorta weird. i'm not cuban so just wondering how big a deal this Castro thing is anywhere else.

I usually let my cats and bunny out in the yard to nibble the grass, in particular the bunny eats quite a bit, but since my husband used a weed killing fertilizer I'm afraid to let them do this. How does the weed killer not get into the grass blades from the ground? It's not logical but my husband seems to think after a week the grass is fine for animals to eat. Anyone know for sure about this?
