GOLDEN TOWNSHIP, Michigan - A man was shot and injured when his hunting partner mistook his elbow for a squirrel, authorities said.

Sikkenga was wearing camouflage clothing except for an orange hat, which he had covered with a hood after sitting down behind a tree, The Muskegon Chronicle reported.

His clothed elbow was all of him that was visible when his friend, Gregory Scott Wood approached from behind the tree and fired his weapon, which the Ludington Daily News described as a .17-caliber rifle.

Sikkenga was transported to a local hospital, where he was treated and released.

Police were investigating the shooting.

I started smoking a couple of months ago ... at first it was just with friends who smoke and then a little on my own, but not every day. Now, I go out to smoke a couple of cigarettes as soon as I wake up and take smoke breaks every couple of hours. I think I might be addicted, I really don't want to quit, but I don't want to wind up being a life long smoker and getting lung cancer. Would there be much harm in waiting a couple more months to quit? Could I be addicted this soon?

I have fairly muscular calves as it is and I would prefer that they not get any bigger. Normally I bike to keep my thighs in shape and this has not caused my calves to get any more muscle. However, I will soon be moving back to school and we are not allowed to store bikes in our dorms. I was thinking of picking up rollerblading, but I am pretty sure that will mostly work my calves.Am I right? Also, any other suggestions for working my legs that won't result in more muscular calves? I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

Does/did it make the battle harder for you facing many people who do not understand that many forms of mental illness exist, and are just as, if not more so in many cases, damaging a physical illness.


When most people who have never been born with, or pushed into mental illness, react to these illnesses the view those suffering as nothing more than drama queens.

I suffered from clinical depression for around three years. The things I felt during that time were some of the most unnatural body responses I think it possible for any man to feel. My anxiety in public often brought on severe panic attacks, and my massive suicidal periods left me hardly physically able to do anything.

It is sad that much of our society is still ignorant of what exactly mental illness is.

6wks ago, recvd time off work due to stress. Went to psych he diagnosed me Paranoid, almost schizo (if I don't take meds it will progress). Went to him for depression and stress!
Go back to work Monday, still nothing resolved. The meds help, but I am always tired, even moreso now. I don't believe I am ready to go back to work OR the diagnosis is correct.
I am becoming more depressed because I don't see any options. I have to go back to a stressful situation, even more stressed than before (due to diagnosis).

Co-workers will hate me if I take more time off, but I know I need it.

I have thought about ending it all because of the stress, but know that is weak. I am strong, still somewhere inside. I have no one to talk to, no one understands. I am not making this up, this is real. I am afraid. What should I do?

Ok, that super dreaded time of month has come along! I have my freaking period. This is my fourth one (hint, I am 13) and every single one I have hated! I mean really hated. This time I had bad cramps all night then all day. But I'm not worried about cramps, I just hate the flow. I am having problems this time because I want to try using a tampon but am having big problems. And I am scared because I don't want to have a regular period. I'm still young and waiting for that long gap between periods, my last 3 have been about 30 some days apart. Does this mean that I am regular now? Also, I need help learning how to insert tampons and what I can do to adjust to this horrible curse!!

It would help if guys could answer this because i doubt girls no what a guy goes through during masturbation. My question is that after ejaculation it feels good but i dont want to continue. Before it happens i just want to keep going but afterwards my senses come back and i want to stop its feels like snapping out of a hypnosis. Is it normal for your desire to disappear after you ejaculate? My desire for sex goes away until an hour or two.
