I went through the Mark Twain Cave in Hannibal, MO and they turned out the lights to show us what pitch black really was. The tour guided then told us that if you were left in there for 2 weeks that you would go blind. Is this true? If you think it is true, why?

My girlfriend recently told me she has herpes(don't know which one, just herpes)...She's on Valtrex & I'm really ready to take the relationship 2 the next level(and so is she lol) but since she told me that i've had 2 rethink how and if i should go there with her...She told me she has herpes in the genital area but i don't know about the mouth...People have told me if i do it with her, 2 wrap it up of course...But i was wondering even with a condom can she still pass it 2 me lets say in one position more than another...For example if she's on top and she's really "lubricating" as oppose to standard missionary where her fluids wouldn't stream down to my genital area...And what about her breasts...She recently gave birth early this year and had been breastfeeding. Is it possible 2 pass herpes through the nipples? They tell me that it can come through the tiniest breaks in the skin and i figured the nipples...yeah...I'm so confused about this stuff...Jus wanna stay clean but love my girl

I had my third child December 3rd of last year. I got on Depo in the middle of January. About a week after my shot I started my period. I got a second shot 11 or 12 weeks later. I have been on my period the entire time with only about three weeks total when I have had a break from it. That's 8ish months. What is the deal? I used to have very regular periods, 4-6 days and a 28 day cycle, like clockwork. I'm tired, drained and depressed. Other then that... I'm great! :) Trying to keep a good attitude, but I need some help.

I'm 21, 5'7 and about 147 lbs. I'm in the healthy range for my height, but I would like to lose about 10-15 pounds. I have a small pouch and a couple spare tires. I've tried counting calories but I'm so bad with numbers. A couple people have said that if I lost 15 pounds it would make me look anorexic, but I was about 125 (and still at the same height) before I started birth control and I wasn't anorexic looking.

I would like to do some more exercising but I don't want to bulk up. I'm naturally big boned. I deliver pizza which requires a lot of walking (especially to the barracks) and climbing stairs, but I want something to do that will tone the area I need and lose the weight.

I won't eat any kind of seafood or soy. For some reason protein shakes don't agree with my system. If anyone has some good ideas, please share away. Thanks

For you who have genital herpes for a long time (>7 years), does it get mild, and how less (if any) contagious is it compared to when you just had it?

My stepdad is going through a really hard time. His son has been battling cancer for the past couple years. He can only eat liquid food through feeding tubes and has recently had most of his tongue surgically removed. Yesterday we just learned that the cancer has spread to his liver and lungs and will not be curable. The doctors are saying he has just one year to live. This is devastating news for us all.
How now can I help my stepdad through this? Is there anything I can do? How can I show him my support ?

In short, my mother is dying from lung cancer, now spreading to other parts of her body. She is a shadow of her former self-having lost nearly 50 pounds in 3 months time. She can barely breathe, barely walk, barely talk now. She is racked with pain throughout her entire body and we are prepared to put her in hospice. My biggest fear is that she will die a slow and painful death from this and I am sure she wishes more than anything she had NEVER picked up a cigarette and continued to smoke from the time she was 15 until now, and she is 74 years old.
My point is this: If you are young and you are currently a smoker, do yourself the biggest favor in the world--stop. Don't get so addicted. STOP SMOKING. If you are currently a smoker and have smoked for many years, it is not too late to stop either. I could just die thinking about the pain my mother is going through...no one should have to go through this. IF YOU SMOKE--PLEASE STOP NOW--It just isn't worth it.

I'm 14, 5'9, 120 lbs, really small boobs, and got my period 1 year ago. My problem is, I have tons of 'hair down there' and its growing more & more, so now I have some on my inner thighs, in between my boobs, about 15-20 really small hairs on my boobs, and some on my stomach. I'm really scared! I just read on the internet that thats some characteristics of something called hirsutism or high testosterone. So now I'm really worried. What should I do/ what medicine should I take/ anybody have advice??
