My husband likes it but it grosses me out to have them in there. I mean how do you clean a magazine?

I have been doing this for a while now but it has gotten epsecially worst since I've had my daughter. My daughter is now 9 months and mostly sleeps through the night. When she was about 2 months, she would only sleep for 1-2 hours and then wake up. It seems my body has gotten used to waking up in 3-4 hours now and I can't seem to break the habbit. I would lay there for about 1-2 minutes until I fall back to sleep, but why do I keep going through this process of waking every 3-4 hours. I do the same thing on the weekend. I don't eat/drink late, I tire myself out through the day, I go the bathroom before bed but nothing seems to help keep my asleep. I wake up so tired EVERY morning because my sleep is constantly being broken. This to me sounds like a sleeping disorder, or what do you guys think? Should I ask my doctor for sleeping pills?

Also, I think the fact that I have a small bladder problem contributes to the fact of me waking up because I have to use the bathroom.

Do guys mind? Is going "natural" a turn-off?

My daughter is 3 years old. In june said she slammed her finger in a door, though she never complained of it. Ine day we noticed her finger nail swollen, green and black with puss oozing out of it. It only got worse. We went to the doctor and he burned a hole in it and the nail fell off. Well, now shes getting the same thing again! Its covered 1/3 of her nail on one finger and on another hand she has it starting and its the size of the tip of a pen. Her doctor insists she has had trauma or a splinter and to let it work its way out. But, if it just spreads how will it work its way out? I am scared that my daughters finger nails will fall off one by one. Any advice would be great. I also have picutes I can e-mail.

I am 15, 5'2.6(159 cm) with a 5'1.8 (157 cm) armspan. I read somewhere that children's heights are 1 cm more than their armspan, and teens have the same for both. Adults are the opposite of children. Does this mean I'm still in the "child" for height growth? People say that you can only get as tall as your armspan, and I have read upon lots of accounts that have 5'6 people with 5'10 armspans. I have yet to hear from someone with similar problems as mine! Anyways, my height predictions have been steadily climbing over the years. When I was 8, my height prediction( based on my height at the time) was 4'11, and then it went to 5', 5'1, 5'1.6, 5'2.4, 5'2.6', 5'3, and 5'3.6.Height predictions from the time I was 2 indicated I was going to be 5'5, and from averages based on my grandparents height, I'd be 5'5.5. I have short parents though; my dad had malnutrition, and my mom expressed her shorter genes. The rest of her family is tall. Is my theory correct? Height prediction?

A little over a year ago my wife passed away. Two weeks later, hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding area. For some reason, I decided to stay and ride it out. By the time I realized that I'd bitten off more than I could chew, it was too late. The night Katrina made land-fall was terrifying. I spent a lot of time on my knees, praying that I'd get through it. After being stuck in the house for several weeks with no water, electricity, telephones or food - because the majority of it spoiled before it could be eaten, I decided to relocate to VA. These experiences were both very challenging, but truthfully I thought I'd emerged a fairly normal person. BUT, as the anniversary dates approached I started having horrible nightmares of the storm where I wake up in tears, developed an intense fear of going outside, and repeatedly get this feeling like I can't breathe. I'm wondering if anyone can offer some friendly advice? I have to get over it and go to work.

I just got tested for STDs for the first time yesterday. I have had no symptoms leading me to believe that I have an STD, but thought it would be a good idea to get checked. This involved a penis swab to check for chlamydia. It hurt pretty bad. The doctor did a quick examination of the culture and said everything looked normal. He said there would be a tingling sensation the next time I urinated because of the chemicals on the swab.

Far from a "tingling" sensation - it now is extremely painful to urinate. For the first few seconds, it's intense, then after I'm finished, there are random periods where my penis is very sensitive. This lasts about 30 minutes after I've urinated. It's been a little less than 24 hours now since I've had this done -- should I be worried? Like I said, I never had this problem before the swab yesterday...

I and my 24-year old girlfriend were in restaurant. She was chewing a gum. She told me that to swallow a chewing gum isn't dangerous at all because it goes in her stomach and then comes out and laughed. Then she took her chewing gum back to her throat and made a gulp and swallowed her chewing gum. The gum slided down her throat and was gone . . . She told me that she swallowed her gum whole, it was in her stomach and couldn't feel anymore. She laughed and said that the chewing gum is in her tummy now. She told me not to worry about it and added that she likes to swallow cherry pits and sometimes when she is on a lazy mood and don't want to take a cherry pit out she simply swallows it and sends to her stomach so there is no need to find a place for a cherry pit . . . She even don't have a stomachache . . .What will happen to the chewing gum or the cherry pit in my girlfriend's stomach? How much time will it be harmlessly in her tummy? When will she begin gigesting it?

I got a blister after my foot doctor removed a wart; however the wart was on the bottom of my feet, and so subsequently the blister formed where the wart was. Now I can't walk properly because it hurts so much. Will it hurt less if I pop it and squeeze the liquid out? (Of course with a sanitized needle and covering it with bandage right after to prevent infection)

Do you believe that the Cure for Cancer (most kinds if not all) has already been discovered but it hasn't been announced yet because the Pharmaceutical Industry makes billions of dollars selling other needed drugs for curing cancer? I heard this from a student of mine this morning. He truly believes this is so. Will many still die for some to make their millions? What do you think? Is it possible?

My daughters are 11 & 14 and they both are about average size. I need to lose at least 20 pounds. Both my girls know how I struggle with my weight. I exercise and eat alright but sometimes I am not as dedicated as I should be. They want to do some active things with me. I thought about us doing aerobics at home together at least one day out of the week. They both agreed to that. What else would be fun? Neither of us is into sports. We don't play ball or run marathons. We are in decent shape but we are not high quality athletes. I already have a gym membership and I go to the gym regularly. I can not afford to buy a membership for both of my girls. Any other suggestions?
