It just started this morning so I probably just slept on it wrong.
But, is there anyway to make it feel better?

I have two friends,one male (he is 20) and female (she is now 29,but was 28 during this problem and has Depression,Dysthemia,BPD). Both of them were having a problem,one day at the local game shop were we all play TCG,he could tell that she was depressed,down. He came inside the room,where she was at grabed her hand,gently carassing it with his right thumb finger. A few weeks later the two were talking things out,she was afraid that she was losing him as a friend,he hugged her,she asked him if it was okay ? He said that it was fine,she hugged him back. After there talk,she was welt up with emotion,that she gently nuzzled his left cheek. When he reacted to that,she felt (still does) gulity,bad of causing him to feel bad.

I want to hear from people who have lost a lot of weight, how they did it. About 4 years ago I lost an unbelievable amount of weight by eating very low fat, but fairly high carb diet. Well, within 2 years I had gained pretty much all of it back by reverting to my old ways of eating. I have a lot of weight to lose and I wonder what worked for others. I have tried Weight Watchers, I have tried low carb (which I hated not being a big meat eater). Also, how can I motivate myself to stick with it? Everytime I try to diet, I fail. Please only give advice if you have lost a good amount of weight. If you haven't before, you probably have no idea what I am struggling with. :) Thanks

I miss the planet Pluto and now it has been disgraced to a mere asteroid, I feel dirty and lonely. My whole life philosophy and well being depended on Pluto being a planet and now it is all gone. Damn those scientists for ruining my whole life.

I could start going with Neptune but they might just take that away too and tell me it was just a gas ball.

In a lot of answers (and questions) I hear about how AWFUL cancer treatments are. I don't usually hear it from people who have actually experienced them, but from someone who knows someone who said . . . These posters are often advising a terrified person, who knows someone who knows someone who said . . .

Now I know that reactions to treatments vary, and that some reactions might be pretty awful, even deadly. But I've known hundreds of cancer patients, including my mother, father, sister, brother, myelf and my son. While some of them died, very few of them who had treatment thought it wasn't worth it for the chance to live.

And the USUAL reactions I've seen are fatigue, nausea (treatable with drugs quite often), a tendency to infection, skin problems and baldness. There are certainly other side effects, but really, overall, most cancer patients I've known say they simply aren't that bad.

So why do people insist on telling these stupid stories to newly diagnosed people here?

Is it right for a school system to make it a crime for parents to send peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to school with their children? It's happening right here in our State. Seems they are worried about the handful of kids who are allergic to peanuts! Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the Allergic child and their parents to take control of this and NOT make children who bring a peanut butter sandwhich to school, look like a criminal. I know for a fact, that a child who did bring one to school, had to sit at a table all alone for lunch! Does this sound RIGHT to anyone out there?

I am in my mid 20's and I have braces!

I had them when I was 12 and now over a decade later I had to get them again.

Lucky for me though, I only have to wear them for 18 months.

It is so embarassing though, people have asked me if I am 16 and said I am too young to be married.

People think its weird for an adult to wear braces.

People stare at my mouth all of the time and I feel like people think adults are too old for braces!

I think adult with braces have courage!!!

What do you think about it?
