My 87 yr old grandmother fell and hurt her back. She has been basically bed ridden, on muscle relaxants and pain pills for the last 3 weeks. She has not had a bm since her fall, she is hospitalized and they are now going to disempact her manually. She has stage 4 kidney disease, osteoporosis, along with a few other problems. I was wondering what are the chances of recovering to the level she was at before the fall? She was very independant and could take care of herself. A few in the family seem to think once they get her to poop she will be back home and normal and able to function on her own. Are they giving her false hope? Are they just ignorant to the perils of being old. I just want to be informed so I know what to expect.

Ok, I am around 5'8"... 195 pounds... and I am 14 years old. I am DESPERATE to get to 145 by around Christmas, which i think is reasonable...that's 5 months away still (only 10 pounds a month). I'm trying to count my calories and fat grams.... my limits are 1450 and 28. The only thing holding me back is that because of my age my mom won't let me join a gym. She doesn't think I am too fat... well yea right! Anyway... is there anything I can do around the house that would be a good workout (sit-ups, stairs, things like that)? Also, do you think my limits on calories and fat grams are reasonable? Please give me any tips you can think of.

She says I shouldn't be like this or hang out with other "punky" people, but she did when she was young and she turned out fine. I told her that just because they're like that doesn't mean they're bad or druggies. I asked her once if she thought I was punky. She said yes and didn't seem to care. Now she's all... against it. Shouldn't she let me believe what I want to? I mean, I'm a church girl, I'm not going to go out and get high or anything! Seriously. I don't fit in with preps and stuff, and her telling me not to hang out with people like me is like setting me up for emotional disaster. I wish she would just accept me for who I am. I'm "emo" and I like it. Tell me what you think and help me in how to get her to approve. And be realistic. Don't tell me to tell her to "shove it" or something.

Kthnx.

I allowed my friend to use my credit card to purchase something online today. After that transaction, I reported my card as lost cos I'm afraid she'll misuse it later. She has done it in the past to another person. The credit card officer says should there be future attempts later, they will notify the police. Should she try to use it again w/o informing me and she gets arrested, does it make me a traitor for not inforrming her about this or it just serves her right?

I was born in 1961 on a US Naval Base in Augsberg, and my original birth certificate, passport, etc. all got stollen when my house was broken in to.
How or where do I go to get a copy? I can't read German, so any deutch websites will not help me.
Thank you!!

We have a newer computer and we gave my son the old one and he has wireless internet that is connected with ours and my husband is trying to save money on the electric bill by unplugging ours at night, and my son insists that this will ruin both computers and my husband insists it will not. Who is right?

I've known this guy for almost eight years, and we've been friends for over seven years. He's been my best friend, the one I turn to first with both good news and bad. For the first three years of our friendship, both of our mothers thought there was something between us, but there never was. I'm in the process of getting a divorce, and lately I've been thinking of my friend in a more-than-friendly way. I know that we're compatible, because we've had such a close friendship for so many years. I'd like to start dating him after the divorce is final, but I'm terrified of it not working out and losing my best friend. I'm also scared of telling him how I feel, and he tells me he doesn't feel the same way. I think that could totally change the tone of our friendship. I'm really attracted to him, and I'm scared of acting on that feeling, because he's the best friend I've ever had and I don't want to lose that. What should I do?
