I had an operation on my wrist last week and though I feel fine I'm still getting tired fast and generally not on top of the world. I want to start running again - how much longer am i going to feel like a little old man?

Sounds weird but let me explain. I've never smoked cigarettes in my life but my mom and a lot of family does so I'm exposed to second-hand smoke pretty often. Lately I've been really stresed out and every time I feel stressed and can't handle things, I take a deep breath and have a desire to wanna take a puff of a cigarette, like that will relieve stress. I don't know what that is, like if the second hand smoke has caused a slight addiction if possible or what, just wondering if this is possible and if anyone's had that.

This usually happens after a day at work. The drive home is about 30-40mins long with traffic and I always drift off and my biggest fear is getting into an accident.

I am very concerned about this now because today I drifted off and bumped into someone's truck. I woke up in the nick of time and said "oh Sh!t" and braked!! Thankfully, They let it go but my car does have a small scrape and crack in the bumper now :-( but it could have been worse.

Are their any remedies I could do to stop this from happening??
My day usually consists of getting up at 6am, getting ready, eating small breakfeast, then leaving for work around 7:20am. It takes about 30mins to get to work. I get their usually about 7:50 or 8am. I start at 8:30am. I am a teacher so I am moving all day. Finally my day ends at 5:30pm. Sometimes I go over to my parents which is about 5mins away from work. Sometimes I catch a quick catnap and then I leave to head home at 630. I go to bed usually at 1130 or midnight.

Okay...I am thirteen years old and I just feel different. Like, the other day in gym we had to run two laps, and I couldn't breathe once I finished. My lungs felt like they were caving in, and I was choking on this mucas stuff. (I know it sounds gross.) And I have been eating A LOT! Like today at lunch I ate a whole sandwhich, a whole orange, cheetos, and a juice box and I was STILL hungry! And then since I got home from school (which was at 2:30) I have had two soft pretzels, a hot dog, two full cups of sodas, a whole steak, two helpings of rice, and three helpings of green beans! Also, when I stand up I get real dizzy and I can't catch my balance. And sometimes when I sit down for a half hour my back begins to REALLY hurt...like hurt so bad that I almost cry, but don't. There is no possible way that I can be pregnant because I am only thirteen and I am waiting until I am married...so what is it? Now I am getting worried because it has been going on for about two weeks. What is it????

quarrels, danger of disease, decreasing wealth, gaining an evil reputation, indecent exposure, and ruining one's intelligence."
Digha Nikaya 31.


Buddha never tired of sharing that every action produces consequences. Drinking alcohol may give some pleasure in the moment, but getting drunk always leads to those 6 unfortunate outcomes !!
Does this mean that a Buddhist never drinks a little alcohol occasionally ? No. Only Monks and Nuns can never drink alcohol.
Each person must ask him or herself this question: "What does this alcohol do to my mindfulness ? (how does it affect my thinking ? do I ever become irrational, impatient, or irritable ? Do I still, while drinking, think completely rationally and intelligently and demonstrate love and compassion and understanding toward others) ?

Can I drink alcohol and continue to be very alert ? or does it negatively affect my thought processes and emotions ?

I have this reaction that really annoys me. Whenever someone around me sniffs their nose (aka if they had a cold), I suddenly feel a large amount of mucus run down the back of my throat. It almost feels like the germs from their nose just immediately went over to me. But it doesn't even matter if they're close to me; as long as I hear a sniff, I feel the mucus.

Is this normal?

I am taking Nourish vitamins by Healthy Hair Plus (http://www.healthyhairplus.com).
These are taken twice a day and contain 40 mg Niacin, 400 mg folic acid, 6mg vitamin B-12, 600 mcg Botin, 92 mg Panthonenic acid, 30 mg chlorophyll, 100 mg iodine, 20 mg zinc oxide, 10 mg manganese gluconate, 30 mg PABA, and 4 mg of each of the essential amino acids.
I have been advised to take Biotin, which I bought in a bottle with 1,000 mcg in each vitamin capsule, and it says to take one per day.
I have also been advised to take a Vitamin-B Complex vitamin daily.
Someone said that prenatal vitamins are great for hair growth.
I take a multivitamin daily as well.
I have some vitamins from hairtopia (http://www.hairboutique.com), too, but I have replaced them with the vitamins from healthy hair plus.

I fear that I might be taking too many vitamins and I would like to know what would be the most beneficial combination for healthy hair!!!!!!
