I am around 157cm and I know I posted this question before but everyone mistook me for a dude so i guess I should have stated my gender. I am a 14 year old(gonna be in a few months (: ) female but girls around me are sorta above 162cm and I feel so bad. Apart from keeping a good posture, what else will enchance height? Will jogging 3 times a week like 2km help? I am quite despo as I have not grown much taller since I was 12 years. thx for reading.

It seems a pointless exercise, you place your dirty hands on the tap to turn it on and then after washing your hands you place your clean hands back on the tap, that has the germs from your hands before you washed then, to turn it off . Surely some of those germs are then back on your hands?

Firstly to anyone who wants to warn me about the dangers of fad diets - thanks for concern but i do know all the dangers and i wouldn't use one long term so please don't warn me! i will listen to my body and stop if i need to.
so my question is that i want to lose a few pounds by friday. i know i can't lose that in fat by friday but i can lose water and bloating and maybe tone up just about enough to squeeze into jeans. what i need to know is if any of you have managed this? And how? what food or drinks did you eat to aid de-bloating and losing superficial weight (i just made that term up hope it makes sense!). any tips much appreciated. i'm willing to do anything that will combine to have some sort of effect however small.
just to boost confidence for a stupid party
thanks

In Aug. of 2005 my Dad had a massive stroke. He needs to be feed through a feeding tube and sometimes by hand sometimes he can drink his coffee by himself but it takes a long time. It is easier to hand feed him and supplement with insure through the feeding tube. He has a urine bag and wears diapers,he wears hospital gowns and he is paralized on the left side. He is blind in his left eye and deaf in his left ear. My brother and sister in law are taking care of Dad at home so he is always clean and no bedsores. He can talk but people who don't know him can't always understand what he is saying.Dad will be 90 years old in March. I love my Dad very much. I want him to get better or just go home to be with the Lord. Dad is a good man. Could he be hanging on because he knows how much his three children ( we are 60,58, and 56 years old)
love him? Could we be keeping him in the condition he is in?The visiting Dr. tells us that Dad will never get better but then we have been told many times

When you are in a hospital bed, it measures something, one of them being a percentage. Do you know the percentage of what? Thanks

About 5 years ago, I went through a very rough patch in my life. People to whom I was very close & loyal did some things that were, in my eyes, betrayal. Later they realized how it looked from my side & stopped. It hurt badly nearly daily for a few years, but I mostly pushed it out of my mind. Now, out of seemingly nowhere, every rare once in a while I will have some bizzare, vivid dream that leaves me agitated for half the day. Something must be unfinished in my mind. What should I do to put this to rest?

My dad over the past three years have had alsorts of problems with his bowels. His faeces have either been constantly runny (which turned out to be a side effect to his medication). He has had unexplained pains which the doctors have looked into but can find nothing wrong.

He now gets a shooting pain in his tummy if he puts any pressure in the area and he is only able to pass faeces the width of a pen. He was ment to see his doctor this morning about this but he cancled as he is terrified they will give him a Barium Meal. Hes had one before and it made him really constipated. He fears that if they give him another it will kill him this time.

Can ANYONE please help me?

ANY ideas would be helpful or any doctors who may know what the problem is? None of our doctors seem to have a clue???
