Health - 20 January 2007

You know when you're in a conversation and you forget a word for something? Usually, it's a word you don't use that often. Well lately, I haven't been able to remember the easiest of words in conversations. It's been happening a lot, and I'm kind of worried.
Do you think this is happening because I've been overly stressed and full of anxiety lately?

I've been trying to find out at what age is eating spinach ok or alot less bad for you. From my research I have found out why spinach is bad for young children; oxalic acid, and nitrites. Oxalic acid is bad because it stunts growth, and nitrites because it is a poison that results after reheating spinach leftovers. For those of you concerned nitrites are only slightly poisonous. Nitrites won't harm adults, unless a lot, and I mean a lot of reheated spinach is consumed. All the sites I found said that spinach is only bad for young children. They didn't say how young is young, that's why I want to know. One site I found said that nitrites can be dangerous for children 6 months and younger. That’s the only source I found that mentioned any precise age. Only having one source saying that age, is not enough for me. If anyone else knows more about this please include your source/s. Thank you. ^_^

Take the recent case of Anna McHugh, who visited her GP after a failed intensive cycle of IVF treatment. She admitted that she was a little depressed and needed some help.

Four hours later she found herself admitted to St Pancras Hospital. Then, having admitted to the attending doctor that she had contemplated suicide, she was sectioned under Section 5.2 of the Mental Health Act and detained in a lock-down ward. When her husband tried to rescue her, she was held in a headlock while a doctor discussed her case with him...


Isn't this just so outrageous!? Why do we let such bastards rule over us?

Please, only answer if you have one, had one or have slept on one. My husband doesnt get very much sleep or good sleep for that matter. I've heard a lot of good things about this mattress and just want to know if it really is worth the money, and weather or not you wake up refreshed and alert.
We've tried the sleep number and we both found it uncomfortable, and sense we've tried regular spring mattress we're wanting to stay clear of them if we can. thanks

My mom likes to criticize my life and thinks that most of the things I do is not good enough. I'm in college and I'm almost done with my two year degree. I graduated high school a while back but haven't had any luck with a stable job as of now. How can I change her? Or at least how can I get her to stop criticizing me and just be happy with who I am?

Eczema has resurfaced on my skin time and again, but this time it doesn't seem to want to go away. In the past, I have gone to a dermatologist or the nearest drugstore and the creams usually work. I know that I should probably go see my dermatologist, but I want that to be my last resort. Does anyone know of anything that works?

I live in Colorado. Whenever there's a weather system moving in (high/ low pressure systems), I get a huge headache for a few days until it actually hits our area.

We've had weekly systems move in since before Christmas--so this is getting very annoying. It's not a sinus headache or anything related to allergies. It's just a splitting headache. The worst part, IB profin doesn't help.

How can I separate my body from being affected by the weather?

I am straight- always have been and always will be- I love women in every way. Women always say, even on this forum, that it is totally normal and common for heterosexual women to have some fantasies about other women. My question is, how common is it for guys, even though everyone will say they never do, to have any kind of same sex thoughts or fantasies. Do straight guys ever in their lives look at non-straight porn; I've heard mutual masturbation is common although I've never done it and don't have a desire to. I've never really been attracted to anyone of the same sex but recently I came across shemale porn on the web and I got off to it a couple of times. I'm 20, btw. I have a girlfriend, sex is great, now I only watch straight or lesbian porn, but I was just wondering is it normal/common to have some same sex fantasies, or experience like this? Guys never admit to this kind of thing or talk about it- I don't want to talk to them about it either but is it weird or totally normal
