Political Rumor?

I heard a rumor that one reason this presidential race is so critical to our nations future is that several Supreme Court justices are waiting for a Democrat to come into office so they can retire. Does anyone know how exactly I could verify this?

In other news...

*I'm exhausted. Like, the "how am I gonna stay awake til bedtime" kind of exhausted, where you just wanna nap wherever you are at.

*My hair is thinning really badly... like, the front part, that people first see when they look at me. I'm trying some new vitamins for it, we'll see how that works.

*My ear infection from May is still around, and gave me another bad dizzy spell on Friday. HOW ANNOYING! Can't wait to get medical insurance again.

*Tomorrow is my next dance class, and James is supposed to be going with me! We'll be learning the Cha-Cha!!!!!!!

I'll have more updates at a later point in time...

hair loss can be due to meds or stress or both - but I have no magic answers for it - I have not heard the same political rumors you have - so I cannot help you there either - but I so hope your ear really does start feeling better -
take care of you

I haven't heard the political rumor, but I know there are several who were planning on retiring no matter what anyway.

As far as the medical stuff, you sound like your thyroid might be off. The extreme tired, dizzy spells and thinning hair are all some (of many) signs of hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid. It runs in the family. My mom, sister, Aunt Barbara, Jane (I think), Heather, Grandma, all have it and take meds. The good news is the blood test is NOT expensive, and neither is synthroid. Thyroid can also mess up your hormones HUGELY and cause infertility. Wasn't until the docs got my thyroid lined out that I was able to have Isaac, Grant and now this pregnancy. Speaking from experience, don't wait to get this checked out. You'll be amazed at how much better you will feel once you know what's going on. Hugs!

oh my goodness now Im worried about your hearing! Can you hear ok? If you are dizzy, it doesnt mean you have an ear infection, you could have vertigo which sometimes is caused by some kind of calcifications in the middle ear and when they shift it can make you dizzy. There really isnt a cure for this though I dont think.
Hair...have you tried minoxodil (I think thats how its spelled) its like shampoo, i know they have it at Target, and it is scientifically proven to regrow hair, so give it a shot!
Dance class: fun! my hubby and I took swing dancing for a while and that was so fun!

You do need to have your thyroid checked, and don't let the doctor pat you on the head and tell you it's all your imagination. If he tries it, bite his kneecap.
