I made out with this guy a little over a week ago and just found out today that he had mono a week or two before that. Is it possible for me to get mono and how likely is it that I will get it?

i went laser bowling the other day (i hate it, but it seems to be the only way to bowl these days)

and i noticed that under the black like the skin on my hads had weird white blotches all over. it coverd all of both my palms and on to the edges of the fingers and hands.....

i tried washing my hands... no dice.... i tried scratching it, and again, didnt help... the skin still had the white blotches.

since it is only on my hands, im hoping that i just held soemthing weird recently... but if thats the case, i dont get why it wouldnt wash or rub out... hmmm weird

so, do i have cancer? or am i so white that i glow under a black light?

Ok. This is embarrassing to say. But in relation to the post about my weird eyelash hair pulling habit and sometimes my eyebrows ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmxKuD9tYljaiYCYowQqZu7sy6IX?qid=20070226222206AAioOZm ), I realized that I also do something in my sleep a lot.

In my sleep, I find myself...... pulling out my pubic hair. It tends to itch down there a lot, so my way of relieving it is pulling out the hair..... I have NEVER told anybody that I do this. It's downright embarrassing and I've tried to stop. I really have. But I do this IN MY SLEEP!

I've had these weird "OCD" habits ever since I was really young... re-checking, random blashphemous thoughts, the need to keep things, pulling dead skin on my thumbs, etc.

Does anybody else do this?? (I'm mostly talking about the pubic hair thing...). I feel like I'm the only one. I think it's part of this weird Trichotillomania thing I have...

I had surgery Monday 2/19 and recovered at parents house until thursday. Well at least once a day since Friday I have found myself having no other choice than to lift my 3 year old which weighs 48 pounds (he's tall). I am a single mother and if he falls asleep in the car, when we get home I can't leave him in the car. I have to pick him up and carry him inside. It is going to be almost impossible not to lift him occassionally. I wonder if anyone knows how worried I should be regarding my recovery from hernia surgery which was open surgery using mesh to fix two hernias and try to bring stomach muscles in closer as well. I don't have follow up with surgeon until this wednesday 2/28.

I am on wellbutrin and zoloft which has helped some....but I still sometimes wish I was dead because I look around at people and sometimes I hate them & wish Osama would blow them all up, and other times I look at them like I just will never fit in with them

I guess it doesn't help that somehow I got mixed up in a fundamental Christian church, and they are pressuring me to give up everything I love (basically anything that doesn't feed me spiritually...like secular music). Their lifestyle is so drastically different from mine, but they have taken me in and want me to be a part of them....I don't know what to do

I've been so sad lately.. My mom went (even more) crazy and took off to arizona even though I moved from the east coast to the west coast to be here for her. I just feel so f-ing let down by everybody! How do I snap out of this self loathing I feel? I just want to be happy...being sad and depressed is not how I want to live my life. I just want to hear from people that feel the same way.

nicotine lead and tar arent naturally found in tobacco straight from the ground. homegrown tobacco that was dried and cut is way(ok, at least) better than a pack of cigarettes from the store.

she tolerates cheese, etc. I have tried soy milk it has the same effect as does Lactaid, matter of fact Lactaid gives her a rash that literally burns her skin in a matter of moments after having a BM. I am now using pediasure and it seems to be working, it seems she is constipated with pediasure. Any suggestions on alternate drinks I can give her to produce a happy medium and give her the benefits milk holds for a toddler?
