I at 15 years old. I am 5'10'' tall and my body looks fairly mature, very little facial hair though. Although my body has been growing since I was about 12 at a rapid speed, my penis appears it has not grown at all. It is a mere 4'' when erect and a mere 2'' when flaccid! It looks completely dwarfed compared to the rest of my body. Why won't it grow? Or will it in time? At the moment it seems I will have no sex life for the rest of my life!

i dont need to lose a lot of weight, maybe 10-15lbs, but i'd rather just tighten up and keep some curves (i'm only 135lbs so no fat jokes). i'm just looking for a fun exersize to try being that i cant afford a gym and its below freezing out so i'm not going out there to run/walk. and i thought maybe my bf would get a kick out of me trying to do the work out, he laughed his *** off when i tried to do a belly dancing one that was a little too advanced.

so. has anyone tried or seen the Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease Collection - Carmen's Fitness Collection? any comments are welcome.

My sister in FL has a neighbor who has a 32yr old son (also in FL) who has been diagnosed bipolar with massive depression and OCD. He was diagnosed thus for the first time about 10 yrs ago. And was again, recently. He is married but his wife has to support him. My sister called me to ask if I know if he can collect disability payments because she knows that I once knew someone in this situation. But I haven't spoken to that person in years and do not know.

I have used Yahoo Answers a few times and always love the thoroughness of the responses. Maybe someone out there knows something about the criteria involved?

All I know:

Lives in Florida.
32 yrs old.
Worked only once, for about a year, about 10 years ago.
Is unable to work.
Wife works F/T - supports him but it is not enough to live on.
No kids.

Wish I knew more to offer up but this is all I have. I am sure I speak for these people when I thank you kindly for your assistance.

last week i noticed a rash forming right along my collar bone. the area had little red bumps and was very sensitive. since i've never had a rash there before i freaked out and applied a heck of a lot of aloe vera gel; then the rash subsided. but yesterday, i noticed the same little bumps on my shoulders. what could this possibly be? i hardly ever wear necklaces so i doubt that i'm having a reaction to some type of metal. i haven't started using any new products on my skin, either. and to my knowledge, i don't have excema. this is very strange to me but i don't want to visit the doctor for a minor rash. has this happened to anyone before? if so, what do you think the cause was and what did you do about it?

I started taking the diet supplement, Hoodia Gordonii. I was wandering if anyone has taken it and if so, did you get good results from it or any results at all? I've read success stories, but I wanted to hear from someone that wasn't trying to sell the product.

a previous question on habitual lying reminded me that a habit is formed by repeating it 40 consecutive days...but sudenly i'm not sure. When is does something considered a habit? (is it same as addiction...? or is addiction a cause or an effect of habit?) Is there a scientific study to prove this?

I gained like 5 pounds over the holidays (went from 105 to 110; I'm 5'4) I'm hovering at 108 now and I seem to be stuck. I run 4 miles a night at an incline and lift weights and eat around 1200 calories a day, but my body seems to be stuck at this weight. I would really like to get back down to 105, and it's only 3 little pounds! Any suggestions?

I need simple strategies, with at home workouts (if any). Also, the food should be simple. I'm a great cook, but am terrible at following recipes. It would be easier if someone could spell out simple recipes, or tell me what to leave out...or what to add in. Please, SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY. I need help. Thanks!

So I would like to know some good options for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Also, I like to take food to work to snack on - what are some good options in snacks so I can stop eating peanut butter cups and Jolly Ranchers all day - I like crackers.

About a week and a half ago I had gotten a cold sore, and after I told my boyfriend, he still kissed me, until I told him it was contagious. Four days later, he started having getting a canker sore under his tongue and a sore throat. Now his gums are swollen and it seems what appears to be that his taste are missing on a part of his tongue. I can't help but to blaim myself for what's happening to him, but just to be sure that it's only cold sores that is the matter with me I've planned to get myself checked as soon as possible. I've never heard of a cold sore doing that much damage, but can it be possible. By the way this was his first occurence with a cold sore, and I am aware of them being part of the herpes simplex virus, but not to be so harmful.

I'm looking for an SSRI to treat social anxiety disorder, GAD, and PMDD. I've tried Zoloft but the low dose did nothing and the higher doses gave me nasty side effects. I need to try something else and have come across Paxil, but can't figure out the difference between the regular and controlled release. Does CR treat my illnesses more effectively? Or what?
