something interesting and NOT common

2006-11-27 10:35:08 · 18 answers · asked by Anonymous in Skin Conditions

Have anyone else heard of this? And is this true for everyone?

Since I was young, my mom (who is from Japan) told me something I consider some what of an old wives's tale. She passed away a few years ago so I'm unable to ask. Here it is:

If your big toe is shorter than your second toe, you will be taller than both your parents. However, if your second toe is shorter, you will be shorter than at least one parent.

My second toe is longer and I am taller than both my parents. It fall true for some friends but many of them are half Asian like me. I'm really curious if this is true for others...

He's going to be 13 this year and he asked me if he should get braces. I think that he should make his own choice but maybe I'll give him a suggestion. His teeth aren't that crooked but 2 or 3 teeth are out of order. I say yes but you guys give me your thought. Yes or No?

I have a lot of junk in my place and in my car, I hate to throw away anything on the count that it might be valuable information later. However, it just looks tacky and messy in my car and in my place. If I stack and organize it, it still looks like junk. How do I get out of the "pack rat" frame of mind. I hate seeing excessive stuff, however, it's hard for me to just start throwing stuff away. Maybe I should hire somebody to throw my stuff away that way I don't feel guilty about throwing it away. I'm joking! Seriously, anybody know any solutions for this problem I have?

I’m quitting again (only my second try) and doing very well. I’m about a week and a half without smoking using the 21mg patch. I have no urge to smoke at all. I know the 21mg is like smoking a pack a day and it is helping fight the urge but if I go from 21mg to the 7mg or no patch at all will the need for nicotine come back? Has anyone moved from 21mg to no patch? Did you feel it or is the patch a placebo after a few weeks?

For the past few days, I've been sexually active. But when I got to have sex my left side, just above my pelvis bone, hurts as soon as my boyfriend or I start to do anything, or when I begin to do my own masterbation. I know its not like anything wrong with my ovaries, I had that checked out. I also talked to Sue Johnson and she had no answer for me... please help

It seems our society has become irrationally afraid of germs and bacteria. While I believe in taking precautions I think some people take things a little too far.
I have heard studies which suggest that we are weakening our naturally acquired immunities to such things by overusing products like lysol and hand-sanitizer. If this is true, what will happen to our children and THEIR children when they are exposed to germs we consider insignificant today?
Are SOME children ALREADY suffering the consequences of over-cleanliness?

Ok so I was feeling totally fine and everything yesterday, so then I decided to take a bubble bath in the afternoon. The water was hot but it wasn't like scorching hot or anything. So i stayed in there for like 15 minutes, and then since I had soap and stuff all over me I decided to take a quick shower. I got in, and I did NOT feel good. My ears felt like they were popping (not water since I kept my head above the water) and I got really dizzy. And then I had stars in my eyes for about 30 seconds (which feels reeeeeally long when you can't see anything) and I felt like I was going to throw up. So I washed my hair sitting on the floor of the shower cause my knees were like shaking. And then I went out put my robe on and felt TOTALLY fine after like 10 minutes! Any idea what happened? I also wanna say that I was really pale and was really thirsty AFTER the bath. Any ideas? thanks =)
