I have had a traumatic near death experience once but it wasn't swallowing pills.I was eating a snow cone and i sucked out a chunk of ice and choked on it..So to this day i don't swallow anything without chewing it.Most of my prescribed medicines are in pills though i tell my doctors i cant swallow them.This is really killing me that i cant swallow pills when i need them and their is no fluid(becuase of age/health).I need something that will help me.When i try to swallow a pill my tounge just holds it up away from my throat.If it helps any i haven't thrown up in years either.Nothing goes in or out through my throat without my consent basically.Could this be something serious???
when you say bank card information let me guess it is your PIN number that it is asking for. I have Zone Alarm also and depending on the advertisers on the webpage it will effect the amount of times I have alerts popping up saying about someone trying to access my PIN number. You will just have to train ZA on which sites it is OK to send this information and which sites not to. Better safe than sorry, it is still better to have some false alerts than to just freely have your computer give out this information. For me another place ZA has a fit is on Myspace
You could also install a home video surveillance system. The price varies depending on the model - around $100.00. I have seen them at B.Js, Costco and Sams. And you can do your own surveillance from a remote location on a computer. But you can have an alarm system that is not monitored, but will go off in case of an intrusion.
