I think I was bitten by a brown recluse. I never felt it, and first noticed the spot on my calf 5 days ago. It became more and more painful, to the point that I can feel it when walking or even just standing up. A red rash developed around the spot, about 3-4 inches in diameter. I still wasn't sure what it was and drained some pus/fluid from the wound 3 days ago. 2 days ago just a bit of blood came out. It is still red and the tissue around the wound, in my calf, feels very hard. The place where the "bite mark" would've been is now a small dark scab, and the skin around it (about nickel-sized) is becoming bluish-purple. It is still a bit swollen and painful. It's been 5 days since I first noticed it, and 4 1/2 days since it first became rashy/painful. Do I need to go to a doctor or are there other ways to take care of it? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone else find it strange that the first thing that everyone does upon attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is introduce themselves to the group?

I live in Toronto and I'm looking for 15 x 15" by 3" , 12"x 12" by 3" and 9"x 9" by 3" pieces of styrofoam to make at least 25 centerpieces. Or...I could use large slabs and cut them myself. I need 25 pieces of each size and would like to find it wholesale if possible as I need 75 pieces in all.

I'm 29 single, two kids, divorced, returning student. I don't party, I'm attractive (for those who like thick girls), smart. I don't fool around, I'm intolerant to ingnorance, christian-like values, and republican. So why are losers attracted to me. How can I find a decent man to marry?

How can I stop feeling so lonely and stop dreaming about a guy to "fall in love" with?

I mean I have my studies (GCSEs) to think about and If I know how important it is then why am I still dreaming?

I know this question sounds pathetic but I couldn't think of anthoer way to put it.

Theres a "crack in the cylinder head". i didn't even know anything was wrong until i got my Ford explorer checked for it's 135k maintenance. They want $3000 for it - screw that, the car's 12 years old and I'm just gonna get a new one in a few months. Anyways, I want to know if it's safe to drive it from Seattle to Phoenix and back. if i check (and add if necessary) the coolant every time I get gas will i be fine?

I am 37 weeks and found out this week that I was 3cm dilated and 80% thinned. I am having 6-10 contractions an hour but they are not real painful yet. Is this a sign that labor is comming real quick or could it still be a while?

(I say YES BUT, cowards can change too...right?)

When were you ever a coward?


With a needle in one hand
My stand
No doubt
A coward

With the needle in
Truely I show
Who I am
A coward

A painless trip
No baggage
Fully raw
A coward

Thoughts of termoil
Too much to think of
Even the littlest
The most minor things

(should I shave first?)
(do dishes?)
(make sure the kids made it too school?)
(shower? got to town? make lunch?)

The list is never ending
A sharp stick
Coward

Like pulling the plunger
to a busy day
A stiff drink would'nt do
(but, many help)

I hate long trips
(just a few for the nerves)
or for a coward

(Yawn) It's not bad
this trip
When the beat of your heart
makes you tired
Relax now coward

Just sleep

If they are under the age of 18 the should be tried as juveniles not adults. You have kids 10-17 years old going to jail for life. Kids should be given a chance to make a better life for themselves because they are so young and have their whole life ahead of them. Putting them in jail for life does nothing to help them.

Do you believe that it really matters what particular belief a person has, whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Shinto, Hindu etc.?

Please share what you believe?

None of these men or women have said anything to make me want to vote for them. Just a bunch of people trying not to say the wrong thing and attempting to get elected because their the most popular or good looking. For the first time in a long time I am thinking about not voting at all. Why waste the time to vote for some puppet, who doesn't stand on anything and changes their mind when ever they thank people or polls want them to. I want a leader ie Reagan,Kennedy! Can anyone give me the name of a cadidate who is a straight talker and has a plan to improve the country.

You're biking down the street when you come to a corner. You look both ways, and start peddling. No one's coming, it's a beautiful day and--HOLY CRAP! A guy in a pick up truck comes zooming down the road, nearly flattening you. Do you...

A: Swear with alarm, and turn around--YOU'RE GOIN' HOME!!

B: Shout at them as they speed off down another street, probably going to try and roll over another victim...

C: Call up the the local police station and report that a**hole.

D: Scream, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOIN, CREEP?!" and speed after them, till they stop (if they do) and give them a strongly worded telling off, with a punch to the nose to remember you by.
