I had to re insure my car recently and  even though there was a box to tick
if you suffered  from 'certain illness's  ie diabetes which i ticked, does

People who are diagnosed with diabetes and who don't lose excess weight should

So for all of you who said I couldn't possibly have gotten sick from the flu
shot, now we know why!  The shot was making me sick because of the egg.  I
am also allergic to dairy and almonds, but to a lesser ...

Reisa called me yesterday and after a very lengthy cry and talk "all about
me" when actually the phone call was suppose to be about her and giving her
support I failed her as a friend like I have so many others. Please forgive

Last Thursday my mother in law passed away   The story is unreal. I have

My name is Graham. I am 49 and live in Adelaide, South Australia.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 8 months ago and take 2mg ofAmaryl a

I have been having problems with my feet. Initially, I thought that

I'm appearing in this week's Best magazine - don't think they do an on-line
