You guys might be familiar with the myth that Earwigs lived in human ears and then eat your brain. I don't really believe that because our eardrum and our bone skull are both like security guards. But I just remembered something. Remember when Lincoln and John F Kennedy were both shot in the head(which got through both brains) and died? Well, why is it that a person can get instantly killed with one shot in the head that can go through a brain, but an insect can't be able to even touch our brain?

i am 39 weeks pregnant and still not dilating or 'ripening'. my pap was abnormal, they found a lesion on my cervix and wont touch it until after i deliver when they are going to repeat the pap. they say since cancer runs in my family, i have a good chance of having cervical cancer. but we wont know anything until after i deliver. what are the chances that my lesion is causing me to not dilate? and what do i have to look forward to after delivery if it is cancerous? SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY PLEASE!!!!!!!
I am very nervous about this. anyone been thru it?

I had a thought after I posted my first question. Is it inevitable that all type 2's become worse and are eventually insulin dependent no matter how well you eat, exercise, and do your best to take care of yourself? Or can the disease remain under control for a lifetime?

to the right.

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

I happen to have delicious soap, so I wash my hands every chance I get.. But I am seriously wondering about this, because I very often see guys walk out of a toilet without having bothered.

I have been taking vitamins for about 6 months. Over that time period I have gained almost ten pounds. If anything I have been eating better. I never used to eat fruit or vegetables, only junk like candy bars and pizza. I have been eating better and exercising the same amount or more. Any suggestions or comments as to why?
