It's a long story so bear with me.

My best friend, Jake, is dating Maggie. Her parents despised Jake and demanded that they break up. Jake's parent's doesn't like that he's a senior and she's a freshman. They told their parents they would, but ended up dating in secrecy.

Maggie's parents are getting divorced and she is moving with her mom to Michigan during summer. With all the pressure and stress, Maggie cheated on Jake with his friend by making-out with him. She admitted it to Jake and he became furious, but he still wanted the relaitonship to work.

Jake came to me seeking advice and told me the whole story, even though he promised Maggie he wouldn't. He also told me how Maggie is becoming depressed and slit her wrists. Another time she took 15 Advil simultaneously and threw up, but Jake took them from her.

I've been Jake's best friend since we were five years-old. I really want us to stay friends, but at the same time, prevent Maggie from doing anything irrational

Why is it that teenagers (especially 15 year-olds) care so much about weight? Seriously - go to the diet/exercise categories and see what they're worried about!

Why not just figure your BMI and be done with it?

Note that a muscluar person is going to register a higher-than-true BMI. This test only really is accurate for people with moderate muscle mass.

My mother has this growth on her leg. it itches her very badly. We have tried many kinds of creams to relieve the itching thinking that once she stops scratching that the growth will go away. The creams only work for a short while then the next time i visit her the growth is double the size as the time i was there before and not her itch is soo bad, that you can see the gut. She refuses to go to the doctor and thinks it is not serious. She once had this same growth on her neck but it went away but the one on her leg seems to be stubborn.

Does anybody out there know what this fungal looking growth may be, where it may have come from, and the best trreatment?

My husband and I were using a condom and it broke. I was on about Day 14 of my cycle. I just had a miscarriage and D&C in January. I can't physically or emotionally handle a pregnancy right now, so soon! I should have used a few backup methods and counted my days. Lesson learned.

I took Plan B 3 hours after the incident, and the 2nd pill 12 hours later. I've heard that it works really well before ovulation, in preventing it, but that there's really no data that supports Plan B working effectively if you're ovulating that day or had just ovulated the day before.

Does anyone have any experience or insight? I have learned my lesson and won't put myself in this position again, but I don't know how I'm going to survive the 2 week wait because this feels devastating to me. I feel like my life is ending and I'm really scared.

Thank you for any answers.

I've been feeling burnt out by a lot of work recently. What do you (personally) do when you want to recharge? I usually take a bath & read magazines in the tub, but I'm looking for some more ideas.

the question may sound silly and easily answered, let me elaborate.
first of all, over the past few years ive been getting brutal heatburn/reflux/indegestion from a lot of things, especially drinking alcohol. I almost always feel something is 'stuck' in my esophoghas. (btw, i have taken every otc and even tried nexium for a month - no help)
I seem to get far sicker far easier from drinking than my peers. I consider a 'hangover' to mean ive been vomiting for hours. I realized that most people i talk to rarely become ill from drinking. I sometimes get bad hangovers on nites that i drank but never got drunk. i also rarely vomit while imbibing, its always the next morning. what gives?
please spare me talks about quitting drinkjng altogether...i like my drink and want to be able to have a social cocktil without it feeling as my guts are being ripped up!
I dont have health insurance and am not in a postion to pay for a doc.
