I need to talk to someone about this so bad. Am I that damn ugly? I feel like I am. Because of this, I am going to delete most of the posts about her. Please [...]

The most serious consequence of a mother drinking during pregnancy is fetal alcohol syndrome(FAS). Children with FAS have a distinctive set of facial anomalies, growth retardation, and significant learning and/or behavioral problems. Even children prenatally exposed to lower levels of alcohol may exhibit learning and behavioral problems. So far, a threshold below which no fetal damage will occur has not been established. In other words, any amount of alcohol during pregnancy can be dangerous. [...]

Fibromyalgia Winds of Change
Being Blown to and Fro, Where Do Our Lives Go?
By Shelley Echtle

Winds blowing remind me to bend a little, to hold my roots of values firm and my faith stronger.

Like tornado forces, my clinging to superficials of today's world will only allow me to be swept up in painful retributions [...]
