    Although I am not really a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe. I am more of a JackieO type ;)

    She also acted. But not too good though. She just had to look all pretty and stupid. And she was too hung up on men for my taste.

    I try to solve matters myself. If it's really really serious, only then do I think about going to a doctor.

    get plenty of broth with lemon squeezinz in it for vitamin c and lots of rest to give my body a chance to heal itself, which 80% of the time they generally do. if the problem won't go away after a week or so, and they usually go away in less then a couple of days if that, THEN go see a doctor, which i haven't had to do yet since i was a teenager living at home almost 50 years ago. i've nothing against the medical profession, other then their being waaaaay toooo damd expensive unless you're REALLY sure you REALLY REALLY need them. same goes for pharmacuticles they percribe.

    (yah, i live in the u.s. which is even more backward about public health care then it is about public transportation)

    i do now have a physician through a county clinic program who is really cool, and i really appreciate, this is something VERY recent though, and another strainge twisted tail as to how it came about.

    which was because i needed something about my eyes looked at.

    I've always been obsessed with medicine and healthcare, but I've always been really hesitant to go to the doctor because I'm on my dad's insurance and I hate causing him any headache over some little flu or cold. I usually start taking more Vitamin C and drinking a lot of fluids and tea at the first sign of illness. I think I was starting to get the flu last week, took a ton of Vitamin C and was only really sick for one day. I also love hollistic medicine, I've always been a little more fascinated with that than regular medicine. I like the idea of healing myself naturally instead of chemically.
