| Flouride has been in our water supply for many decades now (almost a century I think) and IQ levels have been increasing throughout this period. I wouldn't worry about it. Yep. as a chemist I can tell you that it takes significantly higher levels of Flouride in your water than currently used to hav... |

| I adopt a "no ask, no tell" policy when it comes to interviews, always put your best face forwards and worry about the negatives once you actually get the job. then you work through it. If you have to, word your response in such a way as it shows that you have the issue in hand and its not an issue :) |

| All that time and effort could have been spent getting a qualification suitable for vet or similar animal care career, then get paid for what you love to do. I don't know your background, but surely giving up with disability pension is hardly good for the soul. |

Statistics from places that have decriminalise marijuana show that there is a small jump in use after decriminalisation, but very shortly after that it comes down to the same or less than before.
Goes to show. legal or not, people will still smoke |
