What can i do to decrease my stuttering?
im doing a presntation on monday,
and whenever i do them i freeze up, get really cold
and my nerves make my stuttering twice as bad as it normally is,
im in grade ten and you would all think kids at this age are mature, but their not, well at least not the ones here
my teacher wants me to do it, because he thinks the only way i can get better is if i actually take risks, which is true...so any thoughts on what i can do to calm down?
i dont just stutter when im nervous, i stutter all the time
yesterday i had a dream that i was in my socials class and this girl said something weird so the whole class burst out laughing

Head Size?? (Serious question)?
i have some questions about head sizes.

how are head sizes determined? is it only by genetics or are diets a factor too?

im only talking about the skull. not the neck or face, just the scalp from which your hair grows =)

soo tell me everything you know or any theory you might have about head sizes!! =)

are there plastic surgrey where you can change your head size? (silly i know)

so are the head affected by food or is the size purely based on genetics?

thanx for all your answers!

i am 49 years of age, but i am always told by people i know(and people i have just met that i dont look it(im not fishing for compliments, as i dont even tell people i dont know my age) anyway, they tend to think that i look very young for my age, which i am grateful for, and no one yet has said that i look older than 34! i have always tried to look after myself, my skin, hair, body ect, and all my life i have never gone over a size 12( even was a size 10 for quite a while. my height is 5ft 3inches. then i got married in april this year, and since then i have put on 11lb in weight!i nearlly died when i saw the scales!! this means that i am now 10 stone, but still fit nicely into a size 12. the problem is, thati have never been this weight and i feel fat. my husband says i look great and slim but im not convinced. others say that "yes" i have put on a few pounds but that it suits me and i am no where near fat! have i anything to worry about?

I've had large amounts of blood follow my stool each time I use the restroom. I'm not sure exactly how much blood there really is but the toilet bowl water is pretty much red. It's been happening for about a week now and I'm getting worried. Yesterday was the only exception as I saw no blood int he stool, however it has reoccurred again today. I saw a physician and he was unable to find any trace of blood with the equipment he had. He suggested I go see a gastroenterologist but the earliest available appointment is next Tuesday. I'm pretty anxious and scared and was wondering if this is a serious issue that should be taken care of sooner. Please let me know if you have any knowledge of this issue.

I am thinking about making an appt with my GP about my 7 year old son because he has some strange habits:
Constantly clearing his throat
constantly sniffing.
I know that he doesnt NEED to do these things, but he has been doing this for about 12 month..it gets worse when he is tired or nervous.
i am probably being silly and paranoid, but i'm starting to think its tourettes...does anyone else have kids with tourettes, and what are your experiances?

I know of people who have repeatedly told the doctor what is wrong and it doesn't get attended to until it is too late.

Well, it's 3 O'clock in the afternoon and the sun is going down very fast. It's very dark and I feel so bored.

Why do I hate these days and what are good ways to stop this? I hate this darkness.

Thanks.

Hi Guys-My mother in-law lives an hour and a half away. She has had 2 heart attacks, a stent put in her neck to avoid a stroke, has mild mental health issues and can not get out of the house to tend to her needs. She can no longer take care of the dishes, wash, etc. How does the state and/or medicare decide if a nursing home is right for her or not?

She does not have any other physical disabilities such as an inability to walk, etc. She lives in Southern NJ just outside of Philly.

Any sites, advice, etc. would be a huge help.

I got rigid lenses a few months ago. I have been wearing them sporadically -- I'll wear them for a few days, decide I can't take it any longer, and then not wear them at all for a couple of weeks. I am trying to wear them all the time now, though, so my eyes can get used to them. (Yes, the fit is correct according to the eye doctor and I am using the comfort rewetting drops the doctor recommended.)

My question is... will my eyes ever get used to these so that I feel perfectly normal? At first, it tickled too much to look up, so I was looking down all the time. Now looking up is easy enough, but it tickles the corners of my eyes too much when I look to the sides. My fiance says I am blinking a lot. I don't want to be the weird girl with funny eyes. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take to go away?

My mother is dying of cancer. Small cell lung cancer that has now spread to her brain. I was going to her house everyday and spending the night with her. We never got along and she mentally abused me all my life. She is all the family i have left. I had to stop staying there with her. I have a place with my girl friend.

Has anyone else has this annoying problem? I've had some stretch marks before... nothing that really bothered me to the point of annoyance. However, I have been yo-yo-dieting this year and I notice that I have pain where increased (darker?) stretch marks are.... It makes it really tough to get comfy! These are on my left side currently.. under and around my left ribcage and waist.

The aesthetic problem of these marks doesn't bother me, but the pain is really annoying! I went days wondering why I had this pain on my side.. rubbing it.. and today when I was showering I just looked down and bam... more stretchmarks on my left side=(.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? I would like to do whatever it takes to ease this pain and my mental stress caused by this AND the holidays!

Yes, I know yo-yo-dieting is horrible... and trolls need not answer. I'm fine with the way I look =)
