I found out today I didn't get a promotion I worked so hard for. I am so disappointed and want to cry my heart out but I just can't and I don't know why. Never happened to me before.

I just got on Adderall about a week ago, and got over a cold. I drunk a lot of grape juice over the last 3-4 days and noticed that Adderall stopped working some days or didn't last long on others. I found out that the cause was the grape juice. So my question now is: What else will hinder the Adderall? And are there any foods or drinks that will help boost Adderall's effects on concentration? I know about caffeine and chocolate, just the other stuff that the doctor/pharmacists forgot to tell me lol.

I searched and read some questions on this subject but it wasn't exactly what I wanted to know. Should I use pre-shave? I saw it on a video :P. If so where can I buy it. And aftershave, I hear alcohal base isnt good. Shave up or down?

Have you or anyone you know gotten pregnant with this type of birth control???

All my life Ive had issues with these 4 things:
I absolutely cannot handle the sound of people sharpening knives, or forks touching teeth, or knifes scraping on plates. It freaks me out and I panic and my skin crawls. This is fine at home because I can block my ears, but not when we go out!
2nd - when I stress the veins in my right wrist start to - well not hurt - but i can feel them, and it feels gross, and that makes me stress more. I can fix this by running them under cold water, but again this isnt always an option when im out.
3rd n 4th - I hate touching certain things with my hands and feet. With my feet, I have to wear socks because I hate the feeling of even sandals touching the skin on my feet, and with my hands I cant rub them against hardly anything, except towels or pure cotton. If i do it just feels so wrong and i panic, and again have to run them under water till the feeling goes away.
Does anyone know what this might be? Am I going insane? Does anyone else get this?

Well, i would like to know your opinion on this. I want to know what are the chances of me having a blue eyed son. I have brown eyes, my father also has brown and my mother has blue eyes. And both my grandfathers have blue eyes. Its just curiosity. Thanks

I'm trying to lose weight. I'm sedentary most of the day (behind a desk). But I decided to work out 40 min twice per day M-F, and once per day on weekeneds.

Does that seem resonable and do you think I'll lose weight?

(I'm following a great diet plan)

My friend brushes his teeth 2-3 times a day (sometimes more but never less). He uses a Philips Sonicare toothbrush which is supposed to be gentle on teeth. He also grinds his teeth in his sleep, and uses a mouthguard at night. When he brushes, he does it with his Sonicare for at least 20 minutes, sometimes a lot longer. This time does not include the flossing and rinsing. All in all it is usually at least an hour long ritual. He mostly uses regular instead to whitening toothpaste because it's less harsh on enamel. He claims if he doesn't brush his teeth so long, they become gray. He does also complain sometimes about his teeth being sensitive, and his dentist has reccomended using Sensodyne toothpaste. When you take into account how many times a day he brushes, and for how long, it's about an hour of scrubbing on those teeth daily, when most people spend maybe 10 minutes brushing a day. How can I convince him this is harmful? I need reputable sources.

I have an area that is red and sore in the *lips* of my vagina.
I lost my virginity and he used a condom and it caused a yeast infection. I was treated for the yeast infection and now the sore area is red and painful. This morning I took a qtip with alcohol and put some on the area.
It burned and had blood on it.
I am on my period right now and I have been tested for any diseases and they all came back negative.
What could be wrong...? It could also be because of the frequent shaving I do.

a large and in charge woman is, to me, way more attractive than a skinny boney type woman.
