I'm working on a fictional scifi fantasy novel that takes place in the real world one of my characters is a giantess, or just shy of it by four inches and she's very muscular... a warrior type character. I don't want to paint a picture of a character too encumbered by weight and stature to move about freely.

2 week disposable contacts. If keep them very clean, can you keep the contacts longer than 2 weeks? And if not, how can you tell they are no longer wearable?

My grandpa has come to live with us 2 weeks ago. And my sister told me just yesterday that my grandpa told her she has nice boobs. I am scared to be near him now. My sister is only 12 years old she doesn't know anything about inappropriate touching. yet,so she didn't know it was wrong. And when he plays with my sister he touches her around her armpit which is close to her boobs. Am I just being paranoid? My family has a history of rape (my uncle raped my brother). So what should I do? By the way I did tell my mom but all she said was: just stay away from him. My grandpa is very racist he hates black people.He calls them black idiots who are white people's slaves. And fat people. He says fat people should be kileld by God. Although he is well over 110 kg which is 243 pounds.

I'm 5'2" and I weight about 130lbs.

I want to lose at least 15lbs.

What kind of foods should I start eating, I know I should eat 'healthy' foods, but I like to eat to where I filled up and don't have to eat for a while.

I'm going to start running/walking 30 minutes a day on the treadmill. Will this do anything for me?

I dance everyday too for about 10-20 minutes.

Could anyone help me out?

i read that you have to stop taking glucopage before surgery or there's a chance you could die, is this true?

also, since being on glucophage (about a month) i have not gotten my period. there is no chance of pregnancy as i have not been active. does this med delay your period? i'm not on any birth control and i'm on this med for pre diabetes. its already 2 weeks late and i'm just wondering what the deal is.

When I woke up this morning my daughter says to me "Mommy, it looks like you have pizza sauce in your eye." Actually what I have is a spot of blood about the size of a pencil eraser in my eye. It's, thankfully, located just below the iris in a way that it's only noticeable if I look up. Does anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it?
