Child Health?

We Answered:

I got my first one at eleven. Everyone else had one. They would slap my back and rub to determine if I was "wearing" yet. How embarrassing! If she is developed enough to be guessed at a B Cup, she certainly is a well-endowed twelve year old. It is formally referred to medically as precocious puberty. See the source below for more information. It may be time to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for discussion on maturation, mensis, etc...

Ask her if she is interested in a sports bra...they are much more comfortable than those old "hook" types, they support well, and are less conspicuous than the standard "stay" type.

See the last source shown for online examples of upper frontal support devices...

What could Prez Bush be gaining by subverting the Constitution, the military and child health care?

We Answered:

Money. His corporate sponsors can offer "contributions" to him and his party.

The president also wants power. He and his cadre have resented the fact that ever since Watergate, presidents have "lost" (in reality, they haven't) power since the Watergate scandal and the Nixon affair. Cheney once claimed that it was his and Bush's "duty" to put more power in the presidency.

He doesn't care about child health care. He does it to undermine Congress' authourity. He spent hundreds of billions on the military - yet just $35 billion on healthcare seems too much all of a sudden.

No, we have a very greedy and power hungry man in power.

Increasing cigarette tax to fund child health care?

We Answered:

The bill is stupid.

There is no way the current number of smokers in the country could fund this bill. And the more they raise cigarette taxes, the more smokers will give up their habit. So how does that make sense to anyone with a brain?

Does that mean Obama wants people to START smoking in order to fund it? Or is it... as is more likely the case... his way to slip the bill in, because after all who doesn't want to slam cigarette smokers more. But once the bill is passed and obviously not getting the funds it needs, then they can start taxing the rest of us even more. Because have you EVER known the government to stop funding their pet causes once they get a bill passed? No, they just raise taxes.

Florence Said:

child health?

We Answered:

Your child had a seizure, and seizures are quite common in very young children who have a very high fever. I do not anticipate that your child will have another seizure once her fever goes away and she is feeling better. After she is feeling better, just keep an eye on her to see if she is showing signs of developing abnormally compared to how she was before this illness. I really do believe she will be okay though.
