Produce Enough Bile
Question: How urgent a problem is this? My breastfed 5 month old daughter had seemed slightly constipated all week, straining a lot and producing only very small (but soft and mostly normal coloured) stools.
Today she's produced 2 very pale coloured poos and I just read this could be an indicator that the liver is not producing enough bile to aid digestion.
The doctor's is closed now, and won't be open till morning.
Do you think this is urgent enough to call an emergency doctor or should I wait until the morning?
How serious is the bile problem and how is it treated?
Answer: relax, doesn't sound like a problem, give her a little apple juice
Question: Are landfills full enough? the taste of nothing
lingers
mating bile to the essence
filtered in time
the machine produces
an offering
eat now
chew through the awful
until you like it
you like it
don't you?
.
WOW...so much from so little
.
Edit: sooner or later, the shite of life tastes ok
Answer: Duuuuhhhhhh. I don't get it.

Question: Would you read a book by a thirteen year-old? Well, I found this amazing writing by some twelve year-old and wondered what anyone thinks of it. Here is a link:
http://www.webook.com/project/The-land-of-my-imagination
But if you don't want to read that here is a sample of her poetry called "Mirrors"
Iniquity takes the scene in life,
When you've had enough to fight your way out of steel.
Rage will make it's way out and resurface,
from the deepest depths of your mind.
Blood pumps through your venomous veins,
And it produces a monster out of you.
Letting your mind take over,
And letting your emotions sink deeper into the dark.
Hate is in the reflection,
The reflection you can't stand to bear.
Something stares at me in the mirror,
You left it there the last time you came.
The mirror doesn't always lie,
But then again, it can do just that.
You let it feed your need for violence,
You let it grow in all the madness.
Blood falls from your hand,
Staining the pure white carpet at your feet.
The fiend inside you has turned you against all you knew,
Everything from your past has turned to a bitter bile of blood
Stealing everything you have now,
Has that made you satisfied?
Cheating at old games just to win the new ones,
What happened to the just?
Drinking your foes blood,
Living in the light.
Soaking in the evil,
Like a sponge in water.
In the mirror someone waits,
Waiting for you to recognize who you are.
Watching in the silence,
Lurking in the shadows.
Living like a rat,
While you're off like the king of monstrosity.
Wanting you to come back,
Wishing you'd look harder in the mirror.
In the mirror you're a monster,
A raging bull.
You're a gun,
A gun ready to aim and shoot.
Ludicrous thoughts breached your mind,
Now that's all you have.
You couldn't control the fever,
You let it grow till it destroyed your soul.
The mirror gets darker everyday you peer at yourself,
But someone still hopes.
Someone is the only thing that clears your mirror,
When it fogs up with your arrogance.
Insanity feeds your thoughts,
As the blood flows through your hands.
You splatter the mirror with this blood,
Screams broke the silence.
You murdered it,
You murdered you.
The only one waiting,
Long enough for you to listen.
Though there had never been a chance,
You could have never altered yourself.
Never.
Why didn't you stop,
When tears fell from the mirror?
Why didn't you care that
You killed your family?
Where did you go,
When the dark took you in?
Where was that part,
That part of you that cared?
The mirror died that day,
The day you spread another's blood onto it.
Now nothing gazes back at you,
When you want to see that monster.
You killed the mirror.
Well, tell me what you think.
Answer: it's you right? we weren't born yesterday!
