Does numerology have anything to do with a person that wins prizes/money often?
I just read this article about a woman that has won the lottery 4 times. I’m curious what her numbers may be? Its not often that someone wins so many times over. I also used to know a lady that paid off her house playing bingo and wins everytime she goes to Reno, NV to gamble. Why do some people seem more lucky than others?

It can help but most likely these women also have a very powerful and unshakable positive attitude towards themselves, life and other people. Like attracts like whether good or bad.

Dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, weight gain, headache, nausea, blurred vision, sleep disruption, anxiety, loss of libido.
These are just some of the many undesirable and potentially dangerous side effects of commonly described antidepressant medications. Furthermore, standard antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft have recently been linked to serious risks, including suicide, violence, psychosis, brain tumors, and abnormal bleeding. Yet with approximately 18.8 million American adults affected by depressive disorders each year, many people are turning to drugs to manage their symptoms. [1]
Aside from the negative side effects, the general efficacy of standard antidepressants remains questionable. Recent figures suggest that antidepressants only work for as low as 30% of the people who take them. [2] Other studies have shown that antidepressants work only as well or less than placebos. [3]
With this discouraging data, people are increasingly turning to more alternative treatments for depression. Some popular alternative options include acupuncture, herbs, supplements, massage, exercise, and craniosacral therapy. However, one of the most overlooked and by far the easiest and most available is using food to treat depression! The cure you are looking for may be as simple as making some dietary adjustments.
Many people remain wholly unaware of the mood-boosting power of our natural foods. Before we uncover what these healing foods are, lets look at how they work. Anti-depressant medications work to increase levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is the “feel-good” neurotransmitter that is critical to balancing mood and behavior, and imbalances can lead to conditions such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and hyperactivity. The exciting news is that serotonin levels can be boosted naturally simply by adding to the diet foods that are rich in tryptophan, which is the precursor to serotonin!
Tryptophan
Tryptophan is one of the 10 essential amino acids. It is well known for its ability to raise serotonin levels. Indications that one may need more tryptophan-rich foods in the diet include depression, anxiety, irritability, inability to concentrate, weight gain, carbohydrate cravings, or insomnia.
Common food sources of tryptophan are bananas, avocados, cacao, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, legumes, red meat, turkey, and dairy products. However, since this delicate amino acid is denatured by heat (as in cooking), these foods would have to be eaten in their raw uncooked state to obtain the maximum benefit. As it is not advisable to consume raw meat or unpasteurized dairy products, the best dietary sources of tryptophan are from raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, which are safe to eat in abundance in their natural state. The great benefit of obtaining tryptophan from these sources is that they also contain the other nutrients that are essential for the metabolization of tryptophan. These include vitamin B6, vitamin C, folic acid, and magnesium.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Boosting serotonin levels by eating high tryptophan foods is the first part of the equation. The second part is making sure that the message is received by the cells. The brain chemical receptors are built principally from the vital fats EPA and DHA. These, along with ALA are known as the omega-3 fatty acids. Supplemental intake of these essential fatty acids is a common recommendation for treatment of depression and other mood disorders. Additionally, omega 3’s are indicated for usage in cholesterol treatment because of their ability to reduce blood platelet thickness and normalize blood cholesterol levels, as well as for pain, inflammation, stiffness, and swelling.
Dietary sources of omega 3’s include hemp seed oil, flax seed oil, chia seeds, and fish oil. Eating whole hemp seeds, flax seeds, and chia seeds can also be delicious ways to add omega-3 to the diet.

Should jail time be involved when people BREAK THE LAW and fly the flag of another country above ours?

This afternoon we (channel 4 news) received a call from a viewer who said a business near downtown Reno was flying a Mexican flag above an American flag… which is in fact illegal.
Yes, they should be punished to the maximum extent of the law and then deported. If they are so proud of Mexico they might as well be in Mexico.
And don’t try to pull the race card on me. I am married to a Mexican who agrees completely with me as do her parents who are first generation but, would never fly a Mexican flag.
