I have a mild cold (sore throat and cough) and I have cooked for my cousin who has been under surgery recently. I was very careful in terms of not coughing close to the food and so on, but still am no sure weather I should give her the food or not. The food was on the stove cooking constantly for 2-3 hours then was in the refrigerator for 6-7 hours (since last night).

The floaters in one of my eye has slightly increased a bit recently, should I get worry???
Actually I'd seen a doctor last month and the floaters hadn't increased that time. Also for the past two years I have checked my eyes regularly. Would floaters increase gradually overtime??? What is your opinion??

NYT
Published: December 14, 2006
Circumcision appears to reduce a man’s risk of contracting AIDS from heterosexual sex by half, United States government health officials said yesterday, and the directors of the two largest funds for fighting the disease said they would consider paying for circumcisions in high-risk countries.

An easy way to stop half of our world wide HIV ?
Do you agree with the idea of circumcisions
to prevent HIV.?
What do you think about this?

correct me if i am wrong but on a bmi calculater you state you weight,height and age right? but although the height and weight is perfect but what about the weight how can this calculation ''know''
diference between muscle and fat weight


some of you might not understand what the hell i am talkin bout right?

4 example

if i am super mascular the bmi calculation will calculate the muscle weight as fat weight wont it?

another example is...

A and B have the same height right?A is fat and B is full of muscle but their weight is the same cos muscle is heavier than fat but their BMI would be the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this might be true but if you can point out my mistake please do
THX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to be stick thin all the way til I turned 15. Then my chest just exploded. I've always had a small waist and heavy thighs. And after I started having sex, my hip bones expanded. And the fat somehow redistributed itself to my chest, butt and waist (instead of thighs). In short, I somehow changed from being pear-shaped to apple-shaped. Can someone tell me if this is normal and if it has something to do with the fact I've just started an office job that requires me to be on my *** all day?
