Just out of curiosity if a woman had to choose, would you pick a guy who has straight rotten teeth or crooked clean ones?

I have recently noticed that some semi-famous persons who gets cancer use it for personal gain. either by writing books or doing interviews with anyone who will listen. This is also catching on among everyday people like you and me, I was reading an article the other week about a mother whos' child is going through chemo right now and they are in the process of writing a book about it. some even go as far as saying that cancer was the best thing to happen to them (lance armstrong).

So how do you feel about it? Are they writing the books for others or for profit?
Can anyone really say that cancer was the best thing to happen to them?


(I have been living with cancer for 19 years, not a "survivor" yet)

I'm very qualified with a lot of experience, but still haven't been able to find a job. I have been looking for work for about a month now, and am really getting depressed. I'm homesick and pretty soon I'm going to be broke. As a last resort, I went to a temp agency, but they suck and haven't found me a job yet. I've been sending out resumes daily. I've gone on interviews but haven't landed a good job yet.

I'm really suffering here. I'm crying all the time, feeling homesick, and getting SO discouraged about this work thing. I just started over in a new city and am having a difficult time adjusting. I think all these things are causing me to be depressed. What can I do to help myself feel better?

I am always told that I am a pretty girl. But like any girl i have doubts at times. When I lose myself I diet for a day or two...or just fell crumby for myself and put myself down. The other day (my dad owns a restaurant) and i asked him if i could take home a cookie and he said "do you really think you need it?" well i took that as your fat... I weigh 116 lbs. and i'm 5'3. then the next morning at work i was eating a plain donut and he said "you eat alot of garbage" . I really am not a big junk food eater. but a donut and a cookie once in a while wont hurt me. well these comments just make me feel fat and that everyone else sees a chunkers. what should i do? should i work out to start boosting my connfidence? and if so what are some good workouts that you recomend?

We've been together for 3 years through thick and thin, we've gone through a lot, we finished college together, and I recently bought a condo and am planning on asking her to marry me...but recently she told me she's been depressed for a long time, and it has nothing to do with me....she takes medication but all it does is make her all weird, like she won't talk to me when shes on her medication....I try taking her out and having a good time, she she says she's happy when she's with me, but she says in general she's depressed....I feel so bad, like maybe I'm doing something thats causing it? I want to help her, what can I do I really love her?

I've heard both sides of the argument about what's healtheir; Chocolate vs. Carob. I eat very healthy but cannot live without my Chocolate, and I would switch to Carob in a heart beat if I knew it was healthier. Does anyone know anything about this?

im a college student who makes about 500 a month before bills... which leaves me with almost nothing for groceries. the past year and a half ive been living off ramen noodles and frozen dinners and i havent had the time to work out as much as i would like. although im not eating much because i cant afford it, the foods i am eating and the stress are making me gain weight. slowly, but surely. i really dont think i can afford healthier foods. does anyone have any inexpensive dieting tips? it would mean so much =]

I got my first glasses at 16. I stopped wearing them. I went to get glasses again at 22 because I could tell a difference in my vision (lots, lots of computer work). The doc was a total jerk. "Look outside, can you read that sign" (huge letters, side of a semi) across the street. I said, "yeah". He said, "well you don't need glasses, but I'll sell you somem if you want. you want contacts, too? I'll sell you some". I was just shocked. I didn't have a spine them and paid (still in shock. I should have walked out). I went for another opinion. That doc (a family friend in my hometown) said I could use some glasses. Now I'm almost 27 and went to the doc again. 20/15 in my left eye (superb) but I could only see about half-way down the chart with my right. I see OK with both but get headaches and have problems driving at night (depth perception). This doc said wear glasses when driving and at work. Do you think he was being patronizing, or do you think I really need them?
