Health - 23 August 2006

I want to loose about 30-35 pounds, by January. i've heard of cabbage and soup diets and I don't think I could follow that. Does anybody have any ideas how I could safely loose the weight? I walk every day and I drink water. I don't eat that much, I just gained like 15 pounds when I got pregnant with my second baby and since I'm not pregnant anymore I want to loose the weight but safely without taking diet pills. Any tips or links to websites that will help? Thanks, and please no RUDE comments.. :-)

I don't drink coffee. I work on the computer all day and I was finding if hard to stay alert. I was not tried so to speak because I get a good nights sleep but I found my eye lids heavy. I discoved these pills called jet alert and I have been using them. My production at work has gotten better. My typing is better (not perfect but better) My husband is worried that this may be bad for me but so far I feel great. ( except for the day I took the pills forgot that I took them and took them again. My production that day was off the chart. I thought I was going to wiggle myself to death) I don't make that mistake anymore.

My front thighs are killing me. It hurts to walk and go up stairs, but it is nearly impossible to walk down the stairs from the pain. Yesterday was my first day at a new job at a small non-busy liquor store. I had to stand for about 6 hours. Then later that night I noticed pain in my thighs, and I woke up this morning with even more intense pain. It feels like the front muscles.
I am pretty in-shape. I ride my bike for miles every week or so.
Is it just I am not used to standing for so long? What can I do to relieve it?

And after that I eat a slice of peperoni pizza and then I have another slice and then I find I dripped pizza sauce on my shoe, should I take this as a sign that I should stop eating pizza today?

if you had an entry level job in a great environment (air conditioning, insurance, no pressure, friendly co-workers, computer access), but then was let go, and need cash asap, would you go find work at jobs, like lifting
cargo, mowing lawns, waiting tables, delivering pizza, cleaning toilets to make cash to pay debts? it seems a step below my original job.

Isoliate ingredent or ingredents in Clorox that kill this virus. If not too disruptive to blood, than develop something like kidney (dilasis") (Finding medical terms in regular dictionary is hard) machine with two maybe three stages. The blood taken from person would have ingredent added than it would be filtered out. Another step might be added so that new immune increasing products could get added, and than reterned to person. Wonder if something like this has been tried.

I use a lotion with glycolic acid for my foot calluses, and it works great, but it's really irritating for my hands. I hate disposable gloves -- do you have a clever idea of how I can apply this lotion without getting it on my hands?

My boyfriend and I have a very healthy sex life-- except that sometimes he can't orgasm. I have never been able to get him off, and it always takes a long time for him to do it himself. Is something wrong and is there something we can do?

i'm male and frequently wet the bed from about 5 - to about 11! i had horrible night-mares in which i urinated! i stopped at about the time i began to have nocturnal erections (it's hard to go with an erection) which woke me up.
my bed wetting began when the dreadful fear of my abusive/frightening dad took hold. it seems that i spent my entire early childhood SCARD TO DEATH OF MY PARENTS. the horrible tensions of our everyday life was relieved in sleep when i'd wet - often several times a night! the rubber sheets, spankings, diet restrictions, self-hate, discomfort, etc. was mind boggling.

there's much more to this but i'd like to suggest that, if your kid is wetting, you might consider the kid's emotional/psychological condition (especially FEARS) along with genetic/physical causes. i know that you, like my parents, don't want to ever admit that YOU ARE THE CAUSE of your kid's reactions/behavior but YOU ARE for the most part! so, do somethng about your parenting!

I don’t really know how long the dream was but it felt eternal.

In my dream I was in a town witch I was not familiar with, it was night time and it was pitch black, But I was not frighten by this, I was concern for others that they where not going to be able to see bcs it was to dark, ( weird) ok then I walked in to what seem like a field of really nice green grass, and I lifted patches of grass and under each patch there was a grave, In witch I was able to see the dead,, I was able to say hello to them … the dead where not frighten by me….. Nor was I of them……ok scary…… Then I lighten a particular grave in the grave there was an animal like human.. Witch look more like a beast like half dog and bear with big red eyes it was really nasty scary looking, Well these beast talk to me and told me that as soon as my baby was born the world was going to end,,,,,, the ironic thing was that I was trying to explain to these beast that this was not true ….. and the beast was scared of me!!!!! and all it kept on saying was that the world was going to end as soon as my baby was born…..when I woke up I was so scare ……..I did not know what to think of this dream……That was the weirdest dream I have aver had … I just cant seem to explain why I would Have a dream Like that ?

Does any one know about dreams ?

I've been on Bill Phillips 'Body for Life' program that suggests working out each muscle group every 5 days (e.g. biceps on Mon. and not again until Fri.). This seems like a long time between workouts. Do the muscles have enough time to rest if I work them out every other day? Thanks

Work is really getting me down lately. they treat us like **** and expect us to get on with it.

I intend ringing in sick next week. What plausible excuse can I use and how do I go about getting a sicknote for a week or two.

P.S I`m not a skivver and havent been off sick this year. I think I deserve this time.
