I have been a member here for about a month and I have noticed countless questions about serious medical issues involving posters and/or their children. Many times it appears as though this board was their first and maybe only attempt at research. Why would someone trust their family's health to a website where anyone can publish anything with no credentials as opposed to calling a doctor, tele-nurse or at least looking at a somewhat respected medical website where authors must be doctors or nurses to post?

mine's as stupid as they come...
I was once (and still am, a little)... addicted
to seeing AND tying women up and tickling them!

I wish I knew how I got that stupid addiction but yeah...
sheesh.

And why the hell does being addicted to drugs seem cooler?

Anyway... yeah, like the title asks... anybody else here
got a stupid addiction?

Seriously, when I sit down on a toilet, occasionally, the tip touches and is dipped into the water. It's happened on several occasions, and I get all angry at myself for letting it happen, but I can't exactly go over to the sink and clean it now, can I? As a rule, I always pre-flush if there's anyone else's business in the bowl, but this is a serious concern of mine. It also happens in my own toilet, but I'm not so worried about it there, because I clean it periodically.

make little digs at me. For instance, I am here at work and was talking to another employee who was asking for Kelly (which is my name). Well, actually she was asking for the patient Kelly, so it was a simple mis-understanding. So I just made the comment "Oh, I see, you're confusing me. Then from the background, my friend goes, "Doesn't take much!" She ALWAYS does this, constant little digs to put me down and I'm nothing but nice to her. Why should I put up with this!? Even is she says she's kidding.

It seems that life expectancy would go down. Mainly from suicide? Or is it that these guys have selected dangerous careers that aren't conducive to settling down? Or is it something else?

I recently (Yesterday actually) found out I was pregnant. My last period was over around May 20. My cycles are not regular and I have had health trouble all summer. Doctor did tests regarding my health trouble and never mentioned anything about pregnancy. I figured he tested for it but now I know he obviously didn't. I missed my cycles before so I wasn't really alarmed especially because of my health trouble. Anyway can someone help me............When am I due ???

My jaw basically feels like it was hit with an aluminum baseball bat, and it's restricting me from opening my mouth wide enough to eat and chew. My throat hurts so bad even swallowing my own spit is a task of its own. I have been congested for about a week now, but the jaw and throat symptoms just started last night. I didn't get any sleep last night due to the pain. Please help meeee!!

I had a soccer game yesterday, and somehow I hurt my ankle while playing. It didn't hurt at first, but after a couple of hours I could barely walk on it. I have soccer practice tonight which I will probably skip, but I have tryouts tomorrow for my school. How am I going to be able to do good during tryouts with a hurt ankle? What can I do for it? How long does it take to feel better?

By the way, the same thing happened to me when I was going to tryout out for volleyball ( I hurt my wrist ), so then I didn't really do good. Is this like a sign that I shouldn't play on a team at my school?

What makes a criminal commit crime? Is he born with the genes to become a criminal or is he turned into a criminal by his surroundings (influence, wealth and such)? I don't mean petty crime like stealing a pack of gum, I mean crime such as murder.

I have poison ivy on my wrist pretty bad, can I go in my own hot tub and it will be ok, or will it be bad and spread? I don't want my other family members to catch it, and I don't know if it can spread threw water...It's not leaking oils right now, it's pretty much dried up, but it's still really itchy. So I don't know if I should go in or not....
