I'm supposed to dance in competition at the end of September. Any chance that's going to be possible? Really, seriously need to compete. Have to pay rent, and eat once in while, too.

Hey,
Just wondering if there are any other brands available. Hopefully name brands. I have tried a couple of knock-offs and they are just awful. Can't even stand the taste of them. They were the kind from like the dollar store where they have "fake" ones of everything.

I just need to know if anyone knows of any other ones that are the "real" kind. Please tell me the brand and where to get it.

Thank you.

When I was probably 10 yrs old I plugged in my radio by holding the prongs together. I was shocked of course. I remember seeing myself from up high, like I was floating on the ceiling and the light was very dim.And I was watching myself holding this plug into the socket.
My father was sitting on the couch back to me. I could see myself trying to call out to him, but no noise was coming from my mouth.
Was I dead? I never thought of it this way until I met a man who has died over 6 times, and he explained every one of them to me. One time he was in a car accident, and he watched himself sitting there, waiting for the ambulance. He was pronounced dead upon the arrival, but revived in the ambulance.

I just started walking for about 40 min. in the morning before work. Right after I feel good, so I take my shower and get ready for work. But by the time I get to work, I'm so exhausted I can barely drag myself in the building. Then I feel real low-energy all day. I sleep real good at night though, but feeling so exhausted all day is killing me.
I'm hoping this is temporary since I just started and I guess my body is still adjusting.... what do you think?

A long time ago the doctor said not to take Halls cough drops, becuase I have a heart condition know as Cardiomyopothy, basically weakness of the heart muscle which causes the heart to fail. I don't remember why they said I can't take it, but I have a bad cough and it is the only thing that seems to help with me. Does anyone know why they would tell me not to take it?

2, Half a tin of soup (average 90 calories) with 1 (or maybe 2 slices) of wholemeal toast with light (i cant believe its not butter) spread

I was in a very abusive relationship for 5 years. I got out of it though 5 years ago. I never recieved any counseling and have been wondering should I? I never really talked about it with anyone. Once it came out in the open it seems like everyone just brushed it under a rug to keep it hush hush. I still am afraid to home by myself and sometimes to even go outside alone. Can it still affect you 5 years after it all ended? I don't know if I could even receive any counseling for it. Anyone have any ideas.

Because I don't want it in all the time anymore as it annoys me sometimes. I wanna be able to leave it out overnight and stuff but I was just wondering if I take it out for too long will it close up...(I've had it pierced for about a year now.) Is it the same as earrings so you can take them out and just leave them and they will go back in easily and stuff like that?

Thanks.x

I have history of anxiety but in the past 2 weeks i have been having anxiety attacks almost every day - they feel like asthma - like I am not getting enough air and next day my whole chest hurts and i cant swallow because of it.
Peppermint, chamomile, st Johns worth are not working as well as exercising (i do it all the time anyway).
I dont want to go to the doctor -its just too expensive (in the past i had to pay over 400$ a month for visit to get prescription and pills for that month)

When people get older, they start losing more brain cells. They also forget many things. I've heard that puzzle/word games can solve this problem. Is it true? If it is true, what are some other things to keep memory alive?
