What does Imus have to do with the topic? I don't listen to his show so I am not familiar with what he says.

[somarco]

You mentioned cloning humans. I guess you don't watch the news. Imus has been the topic du jour. Getting kind of old actually.

You got me on that one. The only thing important to me is the weather and reading the daily news during my morning coffee. The cloning humans comment was in reference to the stem cell research used to test the 15 subjects.....

Hey, did you hear that Anna Nicole Smith died?

[somarco]

Anna Nicole who?

I heard this a while back, theres a great book called everything you wanted to know but your doctors wouldnt tell you( or something to that effect) it says that there's been a cure for a while. It seems that the fda wants money and if they release a cure for dieases such as cancer and aids they wont make any money on the seloing of there drugs. Basically more money in controling a diease then curing it.

This is for Type 1 though. Won't do anything for the large number of people who develop diabetes as they age. Still a good development though for those who have type 1.

Are you referring to (Mr. Mega Memory) Kevin Trudeau's book(s)? The guy who has been fined by the FTC for making unsupported medical claims?

The same process (using stem cells) may show promise for Type II. Many Type II situations can be controlled thru diet, sometimes supplemented with oral meds such as Glucophage.

Of course, most if not all type II diabetes is preventable with diet & exercise.

If this will help anyone: Atkins diet (w/o exercise) will control type II hands down with rock solid readings. My wife is proof. I was amazed.

Atkins diet may help control Type II, but I have heard some negative stuff about the long term effects of that diet.

Has anybody ever checked into the costs of having a full-time cook available who can prepare meals for a small family.

[senior-advisor-indiana]

No But I would really enjoyed having a cafeteria a short walk away for the 3 days mt wife was in the hospital giving birth. I told her we need someone here to cook for us when we wan it.

It would be awesome to even have a salad bar or a sandwich dressing station fully loaded with toppings in your kitchen that you had to load like once a week.

- the "would"in the 1st sentence

[somarco]

How small are they? 3 feet tall? 4 feet?

How much do they eat?
