I always feel sleepy when I have to read, even when I already have enough sleep and when I'm not tired as well.

Are there any reasons?

What do you use in the shower? For those who just use the bar of soap...how does that get the dirt off your body?

This is a weird question - but once a while ago I was in the gym and I was showering and the showers at my gym are circle style - so all dudes have to stand in a circle with the showerheads coming out of a central pole.

So this dude comes up and showers right beside me and he's soaping himself up and then he pulls back his foreskin and begins washing it slowly with soap suds.

I've never seen another dude ever wash his foreskin out in a public shower with other guys around. This guy seemed to take forever washing under his foreskin. I couldn't help but stare from the corner of my eye at his cleaning routine.

Have other guys noticed this? Is it ok you think for a dude to clean his cocksock in the showers?

Thanks! I thought it was sort of strange.
Because most dudes at the gym only take a second to soap up their privates.

Lately I seem to have more earwax than usual. The weather has been yo-yo-ing lately and my sinuses are going crazy? Is it possible that my sinuses are somehow affecting the amount of wax in my ears? How often should you actually clean your ears? and how do you know if they need to be flushed?

I have heard that earwax buildup dulls your hearing or can cause ringing. I have heard the same thing about headphones though and I do listen to my ipod alot. Could my ipod usage be causing more earwax somehow?
Or maybe it's my job. I'm a csr. I spend all day on the phones with a headset on.
I'm so confused. Someone help.

Are there times when you know you need to start a simple task but avoid doing it because you know once you start it will take you hours upon hours so you can perfect it, but then you constantly worry about the task not getting done? Sorry that was a long and detailed question.

I have been having some really bad chest pains that radiate into my neck, jaw and arms (usually the right arm). I looked it up in the medical encyclopedia (I have no insurance) and it said that one possible cause could be angina. I have since noticed that my blood pressure goes up in direct relation to the pain. The more it hurts, the higher the blood pressure goes. When I'm not having the pain, my blood pressure is normal. Does anyone know what may be causing this and/or if its life threatening? With no insurance, my options are severely limited. Any Ideas???? Thanks.

Aside from ENT's, do any docs ever do cultures anymore or do they all just throw one broad spectrum after another at their patients when they suspect infection.

My sister-in-law has recurrent sinus infections and they put her through so many different antibiotics without ever doing a sputum culture. She believes that this has given her C-diff along with many stomach problems. She did not know well enough to take probiotics with them and the doctor made no suggestion to do so.

I had a swollen lymph node that my doc threw amoxycillin at, which didn't help and then another kind and finally Z-pack(100 bux for 7 pills). They did nothing, fortunately my tummy is ok.

They are all about positive high frequency energy and spirituality. Anyway my question is this. I have mastered how to think and act positively myself. My problem is that I cannot bare to be around negative people. I attract plenty of positive people in my life. There are some really gloomy people and alot of my immediate family (mother and sister) are really negative. They always complain and give their selfish stories about how life is so unkind to them and nothing is ever their fault. My reaction is to avoid these kind of people at all costs and if I am forced to interact with them my patience with them is very very low. I have heard people like this be described as emotional vampires as they basically suck the higher positive energy out of you walking away from you they feel better about themselves for a while and you are left feeling really low and annoyed. How should I deal with these people? I mean I dont want to cut my family out of my life.
