to lose weight but can not!!!

( But,, can u admit that you didn't lose the weight because of a couple of slip ups a day?"
I want to lose 30 lbs..but I always eat something that messes my whole day up!
Why can't we just say NO??
Are thin people thin due to what they eat or just lucky?

I seem to get sore throats pretty often. I'm a fit person, I eat generally healthy foods, I don't smoke or drink heavily, yet I still get sore throats. Not to mention, when I get them, they last for a long time. I had one this summer that lasted for 4 weeks, no joke! I can come up with no reason as to why I get them. I've been to doctors, and they tell me nothing.

I'm been wondering if its possible that the sore throats are caused by my tonsils. I know some people have them removed at a young age, or later in life. Would getting them removed help me out? Anyone have any sources which link sore throats as a direct effect of 'bad' tonsils?

Recently I was involved in an accident in Thailand. A small piece of metal entered my forearm. The piece of metal was removed (about the size of a quarter), luckily I did not break any bones or tear any tendons.
Although the wound is small (about the size of a nickel or quarter) it is a nasty one. If I move my wrist I can see my tendon moving.

It has been 3 weeks since the accident and it still isn't completely healed.
I am getting my medical care here in thailand. For a wound this small, I have to go to the hospital daily to get it cleaned (which is getting tedious!).

It did get infected at one point but is much better now and seems to be recovering.

I feel three weeks is too long for a wound of this size. What do you think?

I been thinking if I had gotten care in the US it would have healed by now. Since I am going to a government hospital here, I believe they are a little backwards.

I would appreciate it if medical professionals only answer this question.

I was urinating when this lady just walks in the men’s room, looks at my penis and smiles. I put my penis back, and said “hey lady, this is the men’s room!”, she just ignores me and starts walking to the toilets. I stood in front of the toilets blocking her way and said “didn’t you listen? Ladies are not allowed…”, suddenly she knees me in the crotch!!! I was on the floor trying not to puke, she used the toilet and when she was walking away she said ”serves you right”!
The next day I told my friends and they said that women like to take too long in the toilets but then do not like to wait, and they think they have the right to use ours. I had to take anti-inflammatory pills and antibiotics for two weeks because my left epididymis got badly hurt. Can you imagine if they all decided to walk in the mens room?!

I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I want to know what it's like to have dyslexia. I'm writing a story about someone who is dyslexic, but I'm not sure what it's like to have dyslexia since I don't. Do your words look misspelled, do you have a bad sense of time, etc.?
