I am getting my soft palate reduction, adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy at the same time.

I have a couple of questions, i would rather have the general public address than the doctor. Because all the doctor can give me is statistics and 'rare' occassions.

Is bleeding of the throat prevalent after the surgery?
I heard i would not get my original voice back after the surgery, how true is this?
Would i lose weight, after the surgery?
How long would i have to go without solid food?
Should spicy food be avoided at all costs, after the surgery?
Would i be more prone to infections and allergies after the surgery?

I'm having this surgery because i have OSA - Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Anybody noticed that these retro artists truly are scam artists? Robert Randolph and the family Band are the perfect example of this. They came out with two really good albums, and once they built a fanbase, they came out with a 3rd album aimed to please the idiotic music fans that like overproduced bubblegum R&B.

Anybody else frustrated with these fraud retro acts?

When the terror is actual, we say what it is. Is it OK when it is intellectual?

Diaspora Armenians are threatening historians who oppose their claims.

Diaspora Armenians threaten newspapers that have the nerve to publish any article that show that there may be another side to the story.

They threaten PMs that donot speak like they want them to.

They threaten ambassadors that deny using the terms they would like used.

When it is actual, we call this fascism. Why don't we say it for what it is when intellectual?

What the diaspora Armenians is doing is intellectual terrorism. It kills free speech.

Ideas, please, based on a little intellect. And no insulting and slandering.

I was thinking about the conversion stories of Paul and Peter.

Peter: At the last supper Peter announces that he will never be offended by Jesus, Jesus predicts that Peter will deny Him 3 times before the rooster crows. Then Jesus says that He will pray for Peter that his faith will endure and that after he is converted he is to strengthen his fellow believers. The implication is that at this point Peter is not converted, then Jesus is arrested and Peter fillfuls prophecy and denies Christ and runs away. Next time we see Peter and Jesus together Jesus is telling Him to 'feed my sheep'.

It seems to me that Peter knew Christ but was not converted till he also 'knew' himself.

Paul has a dramatic conversion experiance on the road to Damascus, he already knows what he is capable of (held the coats at the stoning of Stephen) but he is not converted until he meets Christ.

So my premise is: To be converted a person needs to know themselves and Christ...

Any thoughts?

I've pretty much stopped posting here because it doesn't do any good. But I still vote on about 30 questions a day. When it comes to voting on Religion and Spirituality questions, I only get to do one at a time, because when I click on "show me another," the error page always comes up that says, "That question has been deleted."

Half is too many. And we all know who's doing it. It's the people who answer every question with "Jesus Saves," or "God is a myth," not even something clever like "Get an Afterlife."

Why aren't you guys using those "Block User" buttons and reporting every answer that doesn't address the question?

It's not just the askers who are affected. Everybody who answered the question loses their answer too.

I find myself hoping that there really is a God. And that's He has a special Hell reserved for people who think they have a Right to turn Y!A into their own, private playground.

2 days ago, I tripped and cut my left arm (4 inches long wound). 40 hours later, I decided to get a tetanus shot at the clinic. The doctor asked me to remove the band aid to have a look. At that time, the wound is already dried but not 100% sure. He then asked me to replace the band aid with a new one because its saturated with dried blood. He took a new band aid out of the drawer and open it. He was somewhat clumsy and i can see that he actually touched the sterilized part of the band aid several times before manage to place it on the wound properly.

Should I be worry that the doctor might have actually touched something or someone's else's blood before touching the bandaid and infect me with diseases like Hepatitis or HIV via the wound?
