Today I got some email messages to some yahoo groups that I belong to that said they came from my bellsouth email address, but I did not send them. What caused this? What do I need to do, and what can I do to prevent it from happening in the future?

Thanks.

I've read mixed reviews online. How would you rate their service?

AT&T U-verse is available where I live, and I'm thinking of getting the bundle for internet, TV, and phone. For those of you that have it what can you tell me? I see ads for specials---all with small print. How much does it run WITH taxes and other fees? What do they do when they come out to install? (I have both an attic and basement.)

Here's an Earth Day design done on a pillow case. While the technique is kid-friendly it can be enjoyed by all ages: http://thatartistwoman.blogspot.com/2010/04/earth-day-glue-batik.html

Here's a video that shows the same technique. They outline leaves with the gel glue and make a banner so this could be a good project with fall coming. There's a short ad first: http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/glue-batik-banner-785331/

Here's their menu. They also have coupons on their website: http://cangelosipizza.com/Menu.html

I thought some of you might enjoy this. Make batik with Elmer's gel glue---no hot wax: http://thatartistwoman.blogspot.com/2008/07/kid-friendly-batik.html

I am glad your husband is doing so well. How did he learn he had kidney damage? From what I've read routine blood work doesn't show anything abnormal until there is more damage than stage one. Did he have more extensive testing done?

True.

From what you said your friend was suffering from major depression. It's been said that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, but to someone in so much pain it may be the only solution that they can see at that time. I don't know if your friend lived in our area or not, but I would like to see more resources in Paulding County. I have heard of different support groups in other parts of the country, but I have not heard of any here. Are there any? Suicide and attempted suicide is much more of a problem than many realize. Here are some facts from the American Foundation

I wanted to add that if anyone has ever stayed in a hotel or motel or been in the hospital they've slept on a used mattress. While there maybe a market for used mattresses I believe that such sales should be regulated and the stores should be required to make it clear what they are selling--especially if they are used but appear new.

A store. I had no idea that the mattresses they sell aren't new. The practice apparently is fairly common as the georgia.gov website states that "it is estimated that up to ten percent of mattress sales involve used or renovated bedding, some of which may appear to be in pristine condition."

I've been looking at this diet because of the weight loss and health benefits. This description is from amazon.com/ Can you really lose twenty pounds in a month? Will you really keep it off this time? With The Rice Diet Solution, you will! The Rice Diet Program has been helping dieters successfully lose weight since 1939. Now in book form, this world-renowned weight-loss method can help you change the way you eat forever. The Rice Diet Program in Durham, North Carolina, was one of the first medical facilities in America to use diet as the primary way to treat disease. On this high-c

Apparently it can and is being done in Georgia. Here's some info from georgia.gov/: IS IT NEW OR USED? A mattress can be a major investment, and shopping for it may present pitfalls for the unwary consumer. Not only is price comparison difficult because of style labeling differences within the same brand from one store to another, but in some instances you may also be looking at used bedding that appears to be new. Although federal law does require any mattress that contains used stuffing to bear a tag or label saying so, Georgia law imposes no requirements for labeling or sanitiz

The other day I was surprised to hear a couple be told that a mattress they were looking at was "used," with a new cover. I was glad that the salesman informed them of what they were buying. I searched online and found a forum where one person in GA posted that they bought a mattress for a low price that they were told was a "second," and had some minor flaw, but then afterwards they believed that it was a used mattress that had a new cover. I wasn't shopping for a mattress, but I thought I would mention this for someone who might be as this was the first time I had heard of used mattresses be

Aluminum hydroxide is mentioned as a treatment by this veterinarian at medhelp.org/: "...Aluminum hydroxide, which safely binds and removes excess phosphorus from the blood without causing excess blood levels of Calcium as a result. I hope this information is somewhat helpful and am glad to discus this with you further. Best Wishes, Dr. Carol Osborne, DVM"

I wanted to add that I had two dogs that suffered from kidney disease as they got older. A special prescription diet helped somewhat, but this capsule sounds much more encouraging.

Have any of you used this for your dogs or cats? I was excited when I came across this today. I was looking for info on improving kidney function in humans (for myself) when I saw it. There are positive reviews from those who have used it for their companion animals. You can read reviews at amazon.com/. The article mentions trials in humans. Have any of you heard anything about those? I looked online but haven't found the results of those, yet. This article is just one source where you can read about it online: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/204934/azodyl_treatment_for_

Thanks to you and the others for sharing your experiences with Dr. Jansen. Does he have patients to eliminate salt from their diets? What does he do to help preserve kidney function? Do any of you know what can safely be taken for joint and other aches and pains? My right hand was broken in a head on collision a few years ago, and I didn't take the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications they normally prescribe because of kidney damage. Sometimes I take one Anacin for a headache, but I would like to find something that I can take safely for the other chronic pain I have.

Here's a listing of many from google directory for the pen pal section: http://www.google.com/Top/Society/People/Pen_Pals/ What about searching online at the library?

Here's one for international pen pals. I found it by searching and haven't had any personal experience with it. Do you want someone in the USA or another country, or does it matter? http://mylanguageexchange.com/penpals.asp

Thanks for sharing your experience. I phoned this afternoon to make an appointment. The first one availlable for Dr. Wollam was Sept. 24. I was able to get one with Dr. Schuler over a month sooner. Here's her bio: Dr Anna K. Schuler is Board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology, as well as a certified specialist in Clinical Hypertension. She received her medical degree from First Saint Petersburg Pavlov Medical University in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Following her training in Saint Petersburg Center for Arthritis and Rheumatologic Disease she practiced medicine in this institut

Here's a link to the book Handbook of Nutrition and the Kidney. You can read pages at google books: http://books.google.com/books?id=GIqGbzudjbsC&pg=PA134&dq=kidney+diet&hl=en&ei=eE9cTMHzB8G88gaPn53iAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CFgQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=kidney%20diet&f=false

What about the digital one do you think would make a difference?
