      well im trying to get a few jobs at the college campus im going at right now.  figuring it might be best to work at the same place i go to school at.  plus, i was looking into some more online jobs i can apply for to write and submit articles that might pay better than hubpages.

   Mornin' everyone. 
   
   @Pinky - I'm not sure what you are looking for for input for the breast cancer article, but have you considered posting a "question" rather than a forum post?  People can respond directly, or post their own hub as an answer.  If you have success with the direct answers, you could use them, and if you have sucess with the hubs as answers, you could link to them in your own hub.  What are you looking for?
   
   Also, are you still hunting for ideas?  I actually came up with something I wanted to do a month ago, and didn't have time... I posted it on the forums thinking someone else might be able to pick it up.  Let me go find it, and I'll post here.

    @Pinky -  Here is it.  I don't know if Kirsten picked it up or not, but in my mind, more exposure is always good for an important topic.  I think its got real potential as a hub topic, and its very important to our world's health right now... I didn't feel I could do it justice as I don't have a lot of time to research, but I posted in hopes that someone else might be able to help get the word out.  Its about MRSA infections and prevention.

    Whew! Finally posted the hub I've been working on for a month.  (Just haven't had time.)  Its an experiment for me.  I decided to try out a fashion hub, but look for items that I could afford (which isn't much. lol.) to mimic the styles.  I want to do a part 2 with a few other trends, but who knows when I'll get that out.  Since I'm not usually much of a clothes hound, it was definitely a departure for me... and involved a lot of research.  It was fun though to do something that is outside my comfort zone.  After all, I do believe that writing is a lot about personal growth, and you can't grow if you don't challenge yourself I suppose.
    
    Well, I'll toss on another log and maybe some of you night owls will pop in later..

    Lynne - No problem... I'm usually around by myself in the early mornings.  The least I can do is toss on the occasional log. 
    
    Thanks for reading... let me know what you think.  Since I want to do a part 2, I'll be interested in feedback.  I thought about waiting and posting them together, but I've had so little free time lately that I figured if one was done, I better just publish.  Like I said, I'm having fun with it, but it is different for me, so I think I'll do the part 2, and then vacation from fashion for a while and pick something a little more familiar.

    You did a great job. We went out the other day starting the search for something to wear to a casual evening wedding this coming summer. I will prob make something as the fabrics and textures I found did not suite my tastes at all. My mom tried to talk me into a suite and yeah um that just isn't me.

    I think that is what I will be shooting for in this case. It's an outdoor evening wedding provided the weather doesn't turn foul. It is so unpredictable here in June. Any how, I don't do heat well so want something cool and comfortable with some little healed flip flops. Not asking too much, right?

    Hypothyroidism is what I have. Actually, my thyroid is totally dysfunctional with a small goiter on the right side. So, I know I have to be on something and since I quit taking the other med to try and clear up the one prob now I'm in this funk of depression that is way unlike me. I haven't quit crying for two days now.

    I'm ok, I have dealt with this before just never to such a degree with the depression. I'm still working on writing and other stuff I have going on here but stupid stuff just sets off the crying jags, lol.
    
    I think the best thing to do is start the herbal treatment I had before and then see about ordering this new one that I found. It has better ingredients from what I can tell as far as what a person with my condition needs.
    
    One of the main things is a healthy dose of iodine. Typically your thyroid produces this from the intake of your foods but I have recently switched back to a diet that doesn't have a lot of iodine in it. I'm actually trying to wean myself off processed foods again. Go more organic and all that jazz. But it takes a bit of adjusting and prob should have started back up with the herbal when I quit taking the prescribed synthetic pill a month ago but I wanted the synthetic one out of my system first.

    hey lynne- read your posts - sorry to hear about how you're feeling and the thyroid prob.  I have to say a medical dr. should be consulted - I have read that the thyroid seriously contributes to depression, especially for women, and that it is simple to take a pill for it, but sounds like you stopped taking them.  It is very hard to solve this problem with diet & exercise alone, need the hormones to be replaced since your thyroid isn't making them.  right?  Also the timing for you is bad since you were feeling sad anyway after your daughter left!  can't you go see a Dr.?

    At $125 a pop for a 15 min chat and then 85 for the blood work she would want to perform without benefit of insurance I really can't afford to see her right now. I had to come off the prescription to set the constipation issue right and clear up another issue it was causing. All she will do is tell me to stay on the prescription and take a laxative which I was having to take three times a day to combat the side effect of the prescription which then leaves me indisposed for untold amounts of time. It is just a never ending cycle and I would really like to get back on something that is natural as opposed to synthetic so gonna try my herbs again and see how I feel over the course of the next few days.
