Settle...
Settling for a deadbeat loser is like settling for a job you hate. What is it about non-ideal situations which makes us keep carrying on, doing nothing to change? If you hate your job, get laid with a nice severance check or just change it if you can!
In the beginning, most women don’t know the guy is a deadbeat loser. He is reasonably attractive and tells a good story about his current situation and his ambitions. Obviously, he will be on his best behavior during the wooing process. By the time a woman hooks up with the guy, only afterward will she see his true colors.
Her “oh, shit” moment comes at a time too late to fix anything. As we are generally all optimists, a woman believes she can salvage the relationship and change him for the behavior she wants him to be. He can get a better job, make more money, help with the children, and stay charming.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t teach a gorilla how to put down the toilet seat, pay for her affairs, and write her sweet notes of nothing. It’s too late, and eventually, the relationship fades. In retrospect, every woman who has gone out with a deadbeat loser realizes the case. “I don’t know what I was thinking“, is a phrase that always comes up.

PPI...
At prescription strength, proton-pump inhibitors are associated with a potential 25% increased risk of early death from any cause, suggests new research published in the British Medical Journal.
The drugs, known as PPIs, suppress excess acid in the stomach. Generally, prescription formulas are taken by patients with severe conditions for long periods, while lower-dose over-the-counter formulas are approved for only short-term use.
According to author Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly of the Washington University School of Medicine. "A number of studies reported that use (of these drugs) is associated with a number of adverse events including kidney disease, fractures, pneumonia, dementia, C. diff infections and cardiovascular disease," he said.
Al-Aly and his co-authors say the biological reason for a link between PPIs and increased risk of early death is not clear. Evidence suggests that these drugs change how genes express themselves, increasing some DNA activities while decreasing others. It is these genetic differences that may contribute to earlier deaths.
