Health - 11 September 2006

I'm 5'7 and weigh 102 pounds. I hate the fact that I am skinny. I always eat and eat and eat and I'm definitely not anorexic, bulemic, or whatever. I try to gain weight but it is hard for me. Many people say it is because of my fast metabolism since after I eat a full dinner, dinner,breakfast, I get hungry about 2 hours later and I eat snacks occasionally. I eat as much as everybody else and many people say I eat a lot for a person like me. In fact, I love eating but I just can't seem to gain any weight but I rarely eat junk food because my family doesn't like junk food. I wish I could gain weight somehow because I get really self-conscious about myself and I always hide myself because I look so skinny and I want to wear tank tops like everyone else but I just feel so skinny and I hate it. I just need tips on gaining weight. People say I should eat more but seriously, I DO eat and it's not helping. If there are any natural suggestions on gaining weight, that would be very helpful.

Ok, I didn't know what to put this under, so I put it under Health, because I am a little stressed out but at the same time, I don't let things get to me. About mid-August, I had some glass thrown at me from a maroon van as I was walking up the street to go home. I kind of have an idea who it was too (I think it was a jealous female...), and someone from her van yelled something out at me, but I couldn't make out what it was. Then like cowards, they drove away. Now I feel as though I need to constantly watch my back everytime I leave my house. I did nothing wrong to these people and they throw glass at me for no reason. Thankfully, it hit the side of the sidewalk and they better be glad that police weren't around to arrest them. Tell me your thoughts on this situation. Its a shame that people have such hate in their hearts.

My kitty, Punkin' Head has some very strange habits since she was born.. they seemed to calm down , but now that my boyfriend is away for a long period of time, she is acting out again!
First, She is obsessive about knocking things off tables or or shelves.... if I am sleeping and she wants me awake she will keep pushing things onto the floor until I get up! Also she has never Meow'd.. her mouth opens but nothing but a raspy dry little sound comes out. ... the most challenging behavior she has had since My boyfriend left is she acts as if she is punishing me when I get home from work.. she stalks me but wont let me touch her, she bites me even sometimes... which she never did before. She follows me everywhere and if I dont let her in the bathroom with me she pounds on the door! she insists that I watch her when she eats.. and watches to make sure I watch... I love her very much I have had her since I got divorced four years ago but I need to know what can make her normal

I just got a new job 3 weeks ago and last week I found out I was pregnant. My job is in management at a refinery and distribution facility. Will this affect the health of my baby? How can I minimize the risks? Thanks.

I can't recall anytime in the past few years that I have had a dream while sleeping. Im really bothered by it and wan't to know. Lots of my friends dream at night, or all the time. I have a huge stress level at work, and my job is very demanding. Im sure I don't dream due to stress related annoyances, but i'm just looking for some adivce or guidance I suppose.

I've had at least 10 uti's (urinary tract infection) in the last 4 years, it's really frustrating. Anyways, I follow all the precautions, drink alot of water, i take cranberry pills, usually pee before & after sex. The other day me & my bf did it but we didn't finish and I still got one, before I thought that it was the sperm that would make me get a uti, but now i'm thinking otherwise. My bf is not circumcised, so maybe there some bacteria there or something, could this be the cause of my chronic uti's?

I had a supervisor at work who was relatively cool at first. Then he decided to quit taking care of himself. He would not eat breakfast, and brag about it. He'd "forget" to take his insulin, and brag about it. He even had a few diabetic seizures. The weird thing about it was it seemed like he didn't take care of himself on purpose. It was like he wanted attention. Why would someone do that? I've known other diabetics who are amazing at taking care of themselves. Also, if this guy wasn't taking care of himself, he'd turn into a huge jerk.

i got drunk for the first time and a guy friend slept with me. i dont remember but i could tell the morning after. a week later i got what seemed like a blatter infection but different. it hurt to pee (more towards the end) so i reached to feel is something was wrong. it felt kinda tender, like irritated or mildly swollen. i cant tell my mom she will kill me. what should i do? i took som AZO so it doesn't hurt to pee but its still irritated, i think it might be from extra wipes since i pee alot. (ive been drinking alot of water to flush my system and cranberry extract pills and juice) what should i do? will i b able 2 flush this out?

Please, dont pay attention to the question, Its just an attention grabber. Sorry.

If you look at my past questionsss (lol) You will get a better insight at this.
I'm in high school...
I finally got the courage to talk to this girl I like at school and things are going pretty smooth right now. But I dont know how to ask her out, Should I say sweet things like: "I think you are really beautiful and I was wondering if you will like to go to the movies with me"
Or is this too corny and will she laugh at me.

PS: I know she likes me too.

Thank you very much for your contribution.
