I've liked this guy for a really long time! The problem is that he's fake! I've had dreams about us having sex and a family. This guy is my dream guy. I watch this cartoon everytime its on tv even if it's a rerun. I love him and wish so much that he'd be real. Please I want him to be able touch me and love me. I told my boyfriend how I could never love him for I love another man. When I told him he was very and angry and told everyone including my family about my true love. Now everyone thinks I'm strange and I'm seeing a shrink. I don't think its strange for I know he'll become flesh and bone and whisk me away from this world and into his own world. I love him and would do anything for him as I know he would do the same for me!

I'm going to try it. I know there is no magic weight loss pill, I just could use some appetite suppression and I believe there are herbs that can do that. Just wondered if others have used it.

OK i know if you have a layer of fat covering muscle you wony be able to see it....but here is the thing. When i wave or rest my arms my tricipes are flabby and i have "bingo arm". Now when i flew my muscles are toned and my arms donnot shake. My beceips have no problem being toned...relaxed or flexed. But for some reason my triceips look like crap until i flex...then they ovcourse look greart and show off my hard work. Any one have this problem or now why i do?..... oh yeah and i am not fat...i'm about 10-15 pounds over my ideal weight but i'm not fat.

I know running is good for you, but does it burn up muscle??? I'm a weight lifter, a beginner at that and people tell me that jogging burns up your muscle along with your fat.....is this true????

I missed three pills during the end of the second week of a 28 day pack of Yasmin, if my cycle is normal I was fertile during these days, I found my pack and continued. I got great advice for my question earlier and I am thankful, but i failed to say that those three days I had sex and that I did not take the pills because I was not at home and forgot to take them with me. I continued the pills when I got back and after the advice I got i will finish the pack, but what happens to people who continue the whole pack of birthcontrol and then find themselves pregnant, does it cause defects or anything like that?

I have had most of these problems since I was 11, and I am 16 now.
I had fallen and slightly dislocated my knee.
I have had 6 surgeries, but have horrible pain, although my knee cap is in place, arthritis has set in, and I have developed bursitis. My knee buckles so I fall. Right now I am on Darvocet for the pain.
I have tried Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, Tai Chi, Yoga, a pain psychologist, and many other things.
We havent really found anything that helps.
I go to a Pain Management Clinic right now.
Any suggestions or other ideas?

Okay, I'm debating on going ahead and taking the test now or waiting until morning. I haven't peed in at least 3 hours. I only have one test so if I used it tonight and it's negative, I can't test in the morning. Has it been long enough that I would get a correct reading? Or should I just suck it up and wait?


Here is the low down. I had sex twice around ovulation with hubby using withdrawl method. (Yes, We know I can still get pregnant that way. We don't mind if we do get pregnant.) Okay I usually have my period every 28 days. Yesterday was day 28 and I spotted the tiniest amount. Today I still spotted a little bit, but not much at all. I usually don't just spot. I usually just start bleeding. (Sorry if too much info.) I'm not having any other symptoms at all really besides feeling tired, weak and sneezing. (I have a very small head cold.) Is it possible that I could be pregnant? Is it possible to spot around the time your period is due if you are pregnant?
