So here is what happens, everytime i go to juggle my soccer ball, even though i do stretch befor i juggle, i somehow manage to pull something in the very upper part of my leg. I have no idea why, or even how i manage to pull something. And no matter how much i change my juggleing way, i still pull something. I want to continue juggling so i can continue to get better, but i don't want to continue with this pain everyday.
So my main question is this, are there any certain stretches that i could do to help stretch out the muscle up there so i don't pull it everytime. Please somebody help me.

Has anyone heard how much longer this disgusting smoke will continue to linger? I find it hard to even have any desire to go outside, I was looking forward to the warm May weather. It cleared up yesterday for about 4 hrs, and then it was back again. I can't stand it anymore!

When an elderly lady died in the geriatric ward of a small hospital near
Dundee, Scotland, it was felt that she had nothing left of any value.

Later, when the nurses were going through her meager possessions, they
found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that
copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One
nurse took her copy to Ireland. The lady's sole bequest to posterity
has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the
North Ireland Association for Mental Health.

A slide presentation has
also been made based on her simple, but eloquent, poem.

And this little old Scottish lady, with nothing left to give to the
world, is now the author of this "anonymous" poem
... winging across the Internet.
Goes to show that we all leave "some footprints in time."


What do you see, nurses,
what do you see?|
What are you thinking
when you're looking at me?

A crabby old woman,
not very wise,
Uncertain of habit,
with faraway eyes?

Who dribbles her food
and makes no reply
When you say in a loud voice,
"I do wish you'd try!"

Who seems not to notice
the things that you do,
And forever is losing a
stocking or shoe.....

Who, resisting or not,
lets you do as you will,
With bathing and
feeding, the long day to fill....

Is that what you're thinking?
Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse:
you're not looking at me.

I'll tell you who I am
as I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding,
as I eat at your will.

I'm a small child of ten ...
with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters,
who love one another.

A young girl of sixteen,
with wings on her feet,
Dreaming that soon now
a lover she'll meet.

A bride soon at twenty --
my heart gives a leap,
Remembering the vows
that I promised to keep.

At twenty-five now,
I have young of my own,
Who need me to guide, and a
secure happy home.

A woman of thirty,
my young now grown fast,
Bound to each other with
ties that should last.

At forty, my young sons
have grown and are gone,
But my husband's beside me
to see I don't mourn.

At fifty once more,
babies play round my knee,
Again we know children,
my loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me,
my husband is dead;
I look at the future, I
shudder with dread.

For my young are all rearing
young of their own,
And I think of the years
and the love that I've known.

I'm now an old woman ...
and nature is cruel;
'Tis jest to make old age
look like a fool.

The body, it crumbles,
grace and vigor depart,
There is now a stone
where I once had a heart.

But inside this old carcass
a young girl still dwells,
And now and again
my battered heart swells.

I remember the joys,
I remember the pain,
And I'm loving and living
life over again.

I think of the years .....
all too few, gone too fast,
And accept the stark fact
that nothing can last.

So open your eyes,
nurses, open and see,
Not a crabby old woman;
look closer ... see ME!!

I would like to stop taking the chemical medicine and seek a natural holistic approach to controlling blood pressure. I have been on these pills (tenoretic) since October 2002. The side effects is a high price to pay for controlling blood pressure. I have heard that one will never be able to safely stop taking blood pressure medications. I do not want another substitute chemical as an alternative.

My husband and I have been in a very bizarre mood as of late. We haven't been sleeping very much, but not too little maybe 4 to 6 hours a night. We both feel sort of out of it like the world is distant. We've been both more hyper and happy and feeling more healthy in some ways and then in other ways we simply feel kind of burnt out and tired. He recently quit smoking and we do get drunk on occasion, but nothing out of the ordinary for most people. I usually have anxiety, but it's lifted a lot lately. We have changed our diet and started eating more fruits and veggies, but this feeling is very bizarre. I've felt this way before....I don't know. Could it be the weather?

I've never been able to fall to sleep fast. My mind just never calms down. I just dont know what I'm supposed to do when I lay down? Am I supposed to think about something to help me sleep? How do I relax? How do some people sleep in 5 min while it takes me an least an hour or two, sometimes four! Once I'm asleep I'm out cold. I just need help getting there.

Is my foot broken? On the top of my foot, about an inch from where my ankle meets my foot is a swollen lump. It hurts if a touch it in any way. I can walk on it (unless it is up the stairs), but I cannot put on tennis shoes. There is no discoloration except for slight bruising around my toes. It has been swollen for about 4 days, but I don't want to get an xray unless i absoutely need to.

Last Saturday (1 week ago) i was eating pizza when suddenly i had problems swallowing. I didnt finish my dinner.

I've had the same problem (swallowing) since then, plus added nausea. I've been to the campus doctor, who says it might be a viral infection and gave me non-aspirin stuff. I've been on it for five-six days (missed a few doses cuz hey, couldn't swallow anything) with little change.

He didn't tell me what to do for nausea though. I am going to my normal doctor as soon as i get home, but that wont be until next monday/tuesday.

Any ideas on why i suddenly had trouble swallowing? Any suggestions for home remedies for the nausea? It's hard for me to swallow anything, including liquids, so anything would help.

I mainly get the nausea in the early morning and it lasts for a few hours. I am not pregnant (just had period, on the pill, no bf, etc).

I ave IBS and GERD and take Prevacid.

Afraid to throw up, hate it. Anything to prevent it and cure nausea will help!

If I've heard one thing a million times, it's everyone passes gas. It's not that I don't believe it, but I have a theory about how it would be possible not to.

What if a person had a really efficient digestive system without a lot of bacteria that rotted inside them and produced methane gas? What if they also burped out all the air they swallowed? Would this prevent them form having to pass gas rectally? Is this even possible? Will somebody disprove my theory please?! Thanks!

Okay, so i started my first period yesterday. It was red, duh--but it wasn't really a heavy flow. But i was just wondering why it turned brown today. I mean the brown mens?? The sticky stuff you get before or after your regular period. So, is this normal? I mean I've had brown mens since Saturday up to Sunday..and as i said, i had my first menstruation yesterday (monday). i mean, it's kinda weird to end your cycle at once. i've only had the red one for like one day! so is this normal? does that mean that my period for this month has ended? or is it still gonna come back a little later this week>?
