>After being taken to the hospital, Clay-Monaghan reportedly says she was told she suffered an “acute heart issue” which caused her to pass out. She filed a police report after being released from the hospital, the Los Angeles Times reports.

I'd trust a doctor over a policeman about the cause of a black-out.

You're not getting it - as in reasonably priced health care.

Your medical system is costing both your government and your people obscene amounts of money.

Free medical care for all does not cost more, it costs less.

You need to free medicine from the greedy leeches, (health insurance companies,) using health-care as a way to siphon money from hospitals and from those needing medical care.

Obviously it doesn't matter how many people are impoverished by this system, suffer and die horribly, so long as they die heterosexual.

Even the "food pyramid", indoctrinated into us as the model of healthy eating, was constructed to appease grain farmers, and is a recipe for disease and diabetes.

That's a strangely aggressive and irrelevant reply to someone who feels sorry for Americans for their abominably cruel health-care system.

Your medical insurance companies are ripping you off. They inflate the costs of services, then add on their own charges, and the result is Americans pay exceptionally high costs for substandard health care.

Thanks. It breaks my heart hearing stories from friends in America who have had to make really hard choices regarding health care.

There was no medicare in Australia when I was a child and one family I knew had a bunch of children die, one after the other, of an operable heart defect. They were a poor, uneducated, inbred sawmilling family in a remote area in the 60's and no-one who could help cared.

It's a cruel system in which the health insurers treat Americans like dairy cows, just continually siphoning money off them.

When I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and given no chance of a full recovery, just the possibility of extending my life, the cost of treatment was not an issue, as I'm Australian and luckily had good public transport connecting me with a specialist hospital. The cost of medicines cost around $5 - $10 a week and that was my only expense.

But if I was in America - As I have two handicapped adult offspring to care for, and went through years of pretty well my whole carer's allowance going on house payments while buying nothing ever for myself so I could at least leave my kids with a home of their own, I would have forgone cancer treatment and died a few years faster in order to not lose the house.

Surprisingly, the treatment worked better than expected, now having no detectable cancer at all, saving the government the expense of supervising my sons.

Oh, is this another one?

I thought it was the one who was pummeling a younger man's penis.

He followed up by asking, basically, what was the best age for them to die for maximum cost savings.

Most likely, in this case.

However, there are many forms of "pharmacological vitamin C". For example, calcium ascorbate, ascorbates of various other minerals, liposomal vitamin C and ascorbyl palmitate.

These furry beings have unique personalities and hearts full of love. They become part of our families. It would be wrong to not miss them and mourn their passing.

Too right. I'd have danced on my mother's grave except it was pretty deep and not filled in - and my siblings and cousins would have gladly buried me with her if I'd done them the favour of humping down onto her overpriced corpse-container. They were trying to work out how to do me out of my share of the inheritance before she was pronounced dead.

But my heart still hurts when I remember my big strong half-wild Tomcat, shark teeth and razor claws, so fast and sharp you didn't know he'd slashed you until the blood stated dripping.

He grew to trust me, and when he was on his back, slashing in chaotic anger, I could ignore his claws, talk gently to him and kiss his nose, and he'd hug me, paws around my neck. He lived a reasonable number of cat years, but not in my eyes. He was still fast and playful as a kitten until his last year, when a strange disease ate away his face and his paws.

He lay beside my computer for a year, on a cushioned bench we fixed up for him, so he was always being cuddled or stroked, and was carried everywhere he wanted/needed to go. One night he started running in his sleep and I stroked him until he quieted, and next time I stroked him he was cold, and gone.

Pets love us and give us all they have. They deserve our grief.

You need time to do something meaningful that you enjoy. It's easy to forget that you're important too, and have your own needs.

After your mother dies you are going to feel empty, at a loose end, as though life is now meaningless, (by my experience, you might be different,) so you need to establish interests now that will help give you a sense of personal worth, and give you something to turn to later.

Find fulfillment in some hobby you enjoy, study something you're interested in and make opportunities to regularly socialise.

Some people believe the Earth is flat and contains an advanced civilization hidden deep in its centre, accessible only through a hole in the antarctic. .

You're correct. If mitochondrial Eve only had one daughter, she would not be mitochondrial Eve, her daughter wold be.

However science is not talking about an individual whom they have identified. Science is talking about a time in history when the woman from whom we inherited our mitochondria must have lived.

Mitochondria don't combine. They are inherited directly from, and only from, the mother.

Perhaps there was a disaster that wiped out other women, or perhaps other human groups failed to survive to pass their mitochondria on to the present day. For whatever reason, mitochondrial Eve is the original source of the mitochondria all of us share.

Female humans are born complete with their full complement of eggs. Therefore a woman can only pass on mutations if someone has cased her already present eggs to mutate.

- I'm only going on common sense here, so if I'm incorrect I'd appreciate anyone explaining why.

It's obvious.

First, become a mouse . . .

>Consciousness is simply awareness of events.

There's no such thing as simple awareness of events.

All awareness is contextual, being influenced by our perceptions of the past, our current expectations, and fears or hopes for the future.

In Australia young men were being told to take it easy for a while after getting the Pfizer vaccine. - because of the possibility of it causing heart problems.

That's a painful notion. I'm just glad it does not work that way as I cannot stay healthy without exercise.

Conversely, people who are generally healthier, exercise more.
