I am having surgery on January 9th, I literally have to completely quit tomorrow. I am on the patch, but I keep cheating and taking one or two puffs every few hours. It only totals to maybe 2 cigarettes a day, but I need to be completely smoke free to go under the anesthesia. I know its easy to say, just don't do it, but I feel like I have no control, no willpower, no anything! I have been smoking 2 packs a day for 17 years. Do I have a chance?

Since people have only started to mix races in the last 100 years or so, is it fair to say that in the next 1000 years the colour of or skins will merge so that we all look half-cast-ish?

I am 72 pounds, 5"3, 14, and female. I have a very fast metabolism, and I am very skinny. I hate being skinny, because all my friends embarass me, even though they don't know it.
They pick me up, and say that I am as light as a baby, they always ask me how much I weigh, they always ask me to lift up my shirt, and when I do, they tell me I am so skinny, and they can see my bones and my rib cage, and they always ask me, are you anorexic? It is so annoying!
I don't want to gain any weight, but I don't want to lose an either, how can I tell my friends nicely that they are hurting my feelings, and embarassing me, and just because I am skinny doesn't mean I am anorexic?

I have a good BMI (173 lbs 5 feet 11), but have 20-25 percent body fat depending on scale I use to measure it.

What can I do regarding diet? Vegetarians with low body fat -- please advice on what foods you eat.

I want to tackle my fatty diet before I start doing intense cardio. If diet changes don't work, I will add the intensr cardio. Right now, I just try to walk half hour a day -- but my vegetarian diet is full or pasta, bread, pizza, burritos etc... I don't like salad:-(

My grandmother passed away two summers ago. Since, things have spiraled WAY out of control. My mom listens to my grandfather's every wish, my father is a hard working man dealing with what he must in his daily life, my uncle works a small job as well, but has horrible lower back pains...

I go away to school, I'm home for winter break. I came back to see hands on what occurs on a daily (and nightly) basis. It's insane - 50+ calls a night sometimes. He's tearing my family apart limb by limb. My grandfather (84 ) was in assisted living b/c he was in a car accident AND needed QUADruple bypass heart surgery (@ the same time - you can imagine Christmas this year...)

Long story short, he's home and it's getting serious. My grandpa's live in nurses haven't been working out, he is a stubborn, off the boat, depressed, attention starved Italian man, and when my mother comes to me for help, I'm at a loss... He's taking over our lives and I need help from anyone who can assist - Thanks ~JBL~

I recently found out some people just get route-canals and they are done. My tooth only had a tiny cavity but severly bothered me with cold drinks. The x rays showed nothing wrong in the canal. Caps are exspensive, no fun to get, and not covered by my insurance. Neither dentist ever told me there was an alternative way, like just getting a permenent filling after a route- canal. The specialist automaticly put in a rough unfinished filling. This has happend to me several times. I am starting to think both dentists are working together to make some extra money? How can I get the truth out of my dentist if I truely need a cap or not? My insurance does not pay for second opinions or caps. Does anyone know about these things?
