Wet hair is not the culprit, running into a germ is the culprit, right? So I would be no more likely to "catch my death" in January snow naked with wet hair then I would shaking hands with a person with the flu.

I had my wisdom teeth (all 4) out Friday. I have had some pain and finally came back to work today and feel almost better. Here is the problem - i smoke. I smoked a cigarette yesterday for the first time since surgery. I didn't inhale (suck) very hard at all. I did smoke today too. Would I have gotten a dry socket by now? Am I in the clear?

Was thinking of buying and I'm wondering if anybody could tell me if they've used it and what sort of results they got with it.

Cheers.

For about 1 weeks now i have this dark spot in my eye.
Everywhere i look i can see it but if i take a closer look in the mirror i can't find anything.
It's not there everytime but when i see it i always think it's dust in the air or a bug but it's not.

What could it be?

O.k....so my Mom has alzheimers, is in the hospital for cancer, and getting a nutritiion treatment before she starts on the cancer drugs. They have an alarm on her bed so if she gets up, they can monitor where she is. However, they had her setting in a chair for awhile, just to get a break from being in bed all day. So the alarm is no good for this. And then we found her walking down the hall by herself. Another thing is, they don't ask her if she is thirsty. She does not know to eat or drink. You have to give it to her personally. And don't forget, she is in there for a "nutrition" treatment! Knowing her condition, shouldn't they do this on their own? Don't they legally have to? Should we be mad and demand this and stop being nice? And how can we remedy the getting out of her room by herself? I mean, shouldn't that NOT happen even once? What do you think?

I was curious about when you should end family nudity? I am 16 years old and my parents raised us in the nudist lifestyle and we often attend nude gatherings and clubs etc. But I am wondering if I should tell my parents we should stop. My cousin sister Courtney is13 who my parents took after my aunt died lives with us and is in the 7th grade and lately when she has been walking around nude, I have been feeling a little different. I dont know if I like it anymore. She is mature and developed now and I am feeling a little weird around her especially when I am nude also. Things are starting to happen. What should I do?

I have heard that the vitamins and stuff are mostly depleted by the canning preservation process. Is this true? Also I wonder how many unhealthy preservatives or chemicals there are in there.

It sure is easier though to pop open a can of vegetable soup as opposed to preparing something from scratch with fresh vegetables. Anybody with any knowledge or expereince with this?

Has anyone else felt that they wouldn't live until a certain time or know anyone else who has? If so are they still alive? Could this be ocd,depression,or anxiety?

Hey,

Ive tried finding information on whether certain moles can be dealt with in certain ways, ie cut out, shaved off, burnt off etc etc..
I have a raised brown mole a little smaller than an M&M just below my waist line that i want removed, but i really dont think i want it cut out. I want it removed purely for aesthetic reasons and Im pretty sure its not cancerous because ive had it since i can remember.

Its starting to really annoy me and its ugly as sin and i just want it gone!!

Anyone had similar removed?? How?.. Where?

thanks heaps!!

My grandfather is in the hospital, he just had his hip replaced and is in great pain. They were going to take him down for xrays, they sent a man and woman in to take him down to radiology. My grandfather started to explain very calmly and politely that he was in pain, and that they needed to move him VERY slowly, and the guy EXPLODED that he has been doing his job for years, no one was going to tell him how to do his job, etc The woman told him to leave the room.She also had an attitude, but calmed down when me, my mom and grandfather told her to be more patient. Its bad enough to be in a hosptal in pain without a--holes like this. If you work in a hospital, dont you know that people are in pain, or otherwise not at their best?This is not the first time something like this has happened. The nurses made a mistake with his pain meds and argued when questioned about it.

i have been examined before but the physician said to keep an eye on it, but not to worry. i have a nodule about the size of a dime on my left testicle. it's sore when touched, but hasn't grown that i can tell. should i have this removed anyway? what is it and will it or does it affect my sex and penis function?

I had a vasectomy a few years ago, after the discovery of this little guy, but the doc didn't say much about it being there.
