how bad does it hurt to have a bikini wax? Do you go in naked? Is it okay to scream or do the aesthiticians (sp) prefer you to remain quite?

Do you think that it's right that people can be committed, against their will, if they want to committ suicide? (I don't want religious answers either, we all know religion doesn't like it.) Isn't it is your life to do with as you wish? Why does someone have the right to 'force' you to live? Should they?

I dropped a hammer on my second toe and I doubt I have any fractures but now the nail is like 99% all black. I know they have to make a hole in there to release the blood but my health insurance expired so I'm trying to see what I can do about this.

Does anyone know if these antibiotics can cause you to skip a period? They are clidamycin, hydrocodine, and predisone. I was on all three for my wisdom teeth being pulled out (and knocked out) and this month I skipped my period. Thanks :)

hellooo, I'm 5'5, and 112 pounds. I decided to count my calories today out of curiousty, just to see how much I usually eat. It averaged out to be almost 800 calories. I'm not dieting or anything, its just that I eat when I'm hungry. I also run everyday, just so that I can maintain a fit body. Soo..is that enough calories? Does it matter as long as I feel ok?

I am trying to run to burn calories. Whenever I run after I eat to burn the calories I just ate off, I get side stiches. So, if I run before I eat, will I burn the same number of calories?

thanks!

I know talking to yourself is classicaly described as the first sign of madness but I've always done it, since I was a little kid (now in my early 20's.) Previously I've tried not to let it bother me as I can usually restrain myself in public but I'm starting to think it puts people off me.

Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Do I need professional help or are there techniques I can use to stop? I'm not really worried about my sanity but it would be nice to be able to keep all my thoughts to myself (and not appear quite so weird)

Please be aware that the method discussed in this question should NOT be used or tested in any way, shape or form by anyone or individual at anytime.

I've heard a lot of talk amongst my female friends that "If you drink/eat nothing but water for two days (48 hours) you'll lose 10 pounds". Does this sound realistic of true to you? If so, do you have any resources to show?

Thanks in advanced to all who answer :).
