I want to visit a close friend of mine, who's taking care of her mother who's battling cancer and going through massive chemotherapy side effects. What would be a good gift to bring the mother?

IF YOU'RE A MAN, YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO READ THIS, SO JUST FIND ANOTHER QUESTION!!!

Ok, so ladies, I have recently started seeing a new guy. We have had unprotected sex a few times, and a few days before we started getting it on, I was on my period. Once I got off my period, I noticed that I had more of a smell than usual and also an itch that just didn't seem normal. After my period had been done for a few days, the smell went away. I thought this was normal, but who knows. The problem is, I still have the itch. Can anyone explain to me what might be the problem? Why is my vag so god dam* itchy??? Thanks ladies.

I was diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes June 28. Before that, in 2006, I weighed 192, Feb. 07, 177, then 166 when diagnosed.
(Not sure why I lost, since I ate out a lot, and fast foods about 3x a week). I am on Metformin pills, 1500 mg/day. 4 months later, I am eating healthier, but not exercising much, and I am now 161 lbs. I am tempted to eat more food to get back to 170, as I have a medium frame, but not sure how without raising glucose levels. Any ideas folks?

This past week, I've become aware of two individuals:

One is a mom of three (you know the type, PTA mom, super sweet, volunteers for everything, helps out at church) who's been caught carrying on a long-term clandestine affair under everyone's nose; the last person you'd expect to be caught up in anything so tawdry.

The other is a widower in his 70s who was married to the same woman for 40+ years and built up a successful business with her help. He has a substantial estate and has a very loving relationship with his adult children who have always included him in everything. Now he suddenly decided to remarry without a prenuptial agreement or any kind of legal document to let his children know where they stand. He won't listen to anybody because he says he "trusts" his fiancee.

Can depression cause this type of behavior? Is it a manifestation of some other type of mental illness? This all reminds me of that lady astronaut who became unhinged recently.

I have been dealing with wisdom tooth issues- but after I heal up from this I am going to have to have periodontal therapy.

I have been so stressed out with the wisdom teeth and dry socket that I haven't had much time to think about the gum disease issue.

Now I am starting to get worried. They told me they could see I was already experiencing some bone loss.

I am only 27, my teeth LOOK to be in ok shape. I am just worried about losing my teeth now.

Can you tell me about your experience with this and/or what I can expect?

My son 18 mths burned his forearm on the underside between his wrist and his elbow about 3 weeks ago on our woodstove! :( Now, 3 weeks later, it has healed SO well so fast. However last night I noticed that a small blood blister has formed where the worst part of his burn was! This morning it was larger! It is only on the burned are, and only 1/4 of the area of the burned area which is about 1.5 in in diameter. Does anyone know why this has happened? I am going to go to the doctor here in a bit, however I was just wondering if there was anyone else whom as experienced the same situation before, and if so what they did!? Any comments very appriciated!!!!!!! Thank you :)

I am wondering if I should or should not get my daughter (8)vaccinated this year with the flu shot. Last year within a few hours after recieving the flu shot she was violenting throwing up. It lasted all night, every 15min intervals. She was so sick, I am afraid this was a side effect to the flu shot. I don't want her to go through that again, if this is how her body reacts to it. Should I take that chance? I certainly don't want her getting the flu either. Any advice, or info. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I've been thinking about getting porcelain veneers, but I'm afraid they might be too expensive for me. I wouldn't mind getting composite veneers if they were cheaper...even if they are of lesser quality. I don't know much about them. Any information about procedure and cost would be helpful.
