Seems to me that the investigators are taking political instead of substantive considerations/actions in dismissing each and every one of these complaints. Put the matter before a judge in the appropriate jurisdiction and get an evidentiary hearing on the appropriateness and legality of dismissing all those complaints en masse. From my view, some portions of all of the complaints could be dismissed due to interpretation. But there is substance in nearly every single ethics complaint which requires an investigation of the facts. To dismiss all of these complaints in their entirety without further consideration or competent explanation represents an abuse of quasi-judicial power and is legally dangerous. And unlawful. Someone with standing needs to file a writ with the appropriate court and force the issue into an evidentiary hearing. The board needs to be kicked in the arse and there is no better way of compelling it to fulfill its statutory obligations than to present it with a Writ of Mandamus.

Therefore, if you want the product which contains that ingredient, you need to go to the pharmacy counter, present your ID and sign the sheet. Under the requirements, you can only get one 30-day supply at a time. Any more and you get a little extra attention. It's the same for the meth-heads but they tend to do their buying in groups or thru proxies which makes it seem that it's easier for them.

The most exotic animal I've seen here in GA is a oppossum stuck up a tree. He was frozen with fear so there wasn't much to see. LOVE the pictures! What an adorable sight!

Sorry to say I didnt. I got names in the White Pages.Com that were identical to mu daughter-in-law’s but they were older ladies who did not know her. Plus I found out that I was not spelling the city right. It’s Beaufort, South Carolina not Buford, South Carolina. So, I am still searching. Thank you for your concern. --------------------------------------- Well... best of luck in your search. When we were tracking/looking for the HS graduates we had no idea what City. We left it blank and just let the search field/filter empty. You get a larger search of names initially on the page.... but it would list everybodys age.... so it was no problem. Never used anywho.com which nswfm recommended but it is worth a shot. Hang in there... you will find her. # 239

Found a great NUCCA chiropractor, got off thyroid hormones, stopped the colds/sinus infections. Also stopped the constant travel which was the exposure to the germ mobiles of the whole air travel. Life is pretty good near the water. Plus, my kitty kids have a lot more room to run around like 12 YO kittens. C aka C, a lot of medical issues went away when I moved back to CA.
