My FIL is an Asian and currently lives in an Asian country. He asked my spouse to bring him some sleeping pills that have no or minor side effects from US on the next visit (He refused to come here) He suffered a stroke about ten years ago and recovered fairly well. But he gained weight again in the past few years. He thinks the sleeping pill he is currently taking makes his body a bit imbalanced (physically - when walking)during the day. He also has minor prostatitis. I have no knowledge about sleeping pills at all and only took sleeping pills 2 or 3 times in my whole life long time ago. I remember one time the pill relaxed all my muscles and I fell asleep. When I woke up my muscles felt no strength. Another time when I took a sleeping pill, it made me hard to breath and then I fell asleep. I'm not sure if the "hard to breath" part will cause any harm to my FIL.

I'd greatly appreciate your help with names of sleeping pills, how they work, and their side effects.

Thank U very much.

My goal is to burn fat, lose weight, and tone muscles.

The following is my workout plan everyday:

60 minutes on stationary bicycle (fat burning program, level 5 out of 20 levels)

40 crunches, 3 series of arm toning 15 reps each, 2 series of leg toning 20 reps each

15 minutes on elliptical

40 crunches, 3 series of arm toning 15 reps each, 2 series of leg toning 20 reps each

Is this plan good? How can it be improved?
Thank you!

He was in the hosital for a week to find a antibiotic that would get his infection under control and I had to administer antibiotics through a PICC line every 8 hours. He just recently had it removed now they are saying in a month or 2 they will think about removing it. Im confused because I thought it was dangerous and needed to be removed immediately.

For a week or even longer, my mind, my memory seemed to be slipping. I'm only sixteen years old and I have no explaination of what's going on. I forget big things like how to do a chemistry problem and I forget the little things too like my usual routine. When I try to read a note or message, say passed to me by a friend, I would stare at it for a while until the small sentence would make sense in my head. I sometimes just stop in my tracks and try to remember why I'm in that certain room. Am I losing my mind??

Is it healthy? Unhealthy? etc...


My hypothesis, for example, would be that spicy food is healthy, since the spiciness could help cleanse the colon.

So I'm thinking about joining Bally's Total Fitness to kick start me new years resolution since i NEVER get to it. Anyways this girl across the street just got attacked by a guy and I think its b/c she runs around the neighborhood in spandex and is on the phone talking outside, so she caused attention to herself. I live near campus and there are always so many other girls my age (twenties) running. Anyways, should I join a club and end up paying initiation fee and $35 a month to join or should I just continue to try to run outside. I'm in college so I think $35 is a lot of money to spend every month. What should I do?

Ok, my bf has gotten into the habit of calling me Good Wine. What does that mean? He also told me he loved me for the first time two weeks ago and says it once in a while, but it's like he's testing. What's up with that? I never have to worry about gas becuase he fills my tank all the while knowing I have the money to do so, but he won't listen to me. He is a very considerate and generous lover and just the thought of what he does gets me going. Just the thought. He's also started becoming more open in the bedroom, most likely as the result of a challenge. Don't guys usually give their all the first year or so? When they decide to do more than usual, what's up? We were talking and he says to me "You'll see. Next weekend I'm going to wear you down." I told him he had said that before and was full of it. Long story short, he proved that he wasn't kidding within the next hour. So, why would a guy say and do these things if he's not serious? We are very casual, but still?

I've been working out for the past couple of weeks. I work out different parts on the days, but lately, Ive been switching it up. My question is, Is it ok to work out opposite parts on the same day? For example, benchpressing, then working out the back, or working the triceps, then the biceps? Proffessional answers please. Thank you.
