If there was a food that made your skin wrinkle sooner, made your body and clothes smell bad, stained your teeth, reduced your sense of smell & hearing, turned off people of the opposite sex, cost thousands of dollars a year, and pretty much guaranteed a cancer diagnosis, you wouldn't eat it, right?

Then why do people start smoking? I work with a lot of recent college graduates, and was surprised to see that so many of them are smokers. Their older coworkers (who kicked the habit long ago) just shake their heads & wonder...

I can understand why people who are addicted to nicotine have a difficult time quitting, but why would someone voluntarily *start* a habit they know has no positive benefits?

OK i've been on medical leave for 5 weeks. My leave expired 6 days ago. I had carpel tunnel surgey on both hands 8 months ago and it was returning. I was aslo starting to have severe panic attacks on top of other various health problems. The hr guy said i had to have my doctor to state that I couldn't do my present job before i could be transfered. The only option i had then was to take a lower paying job. I just couldn't have went back through the workmans comp light duty torture thing at the time and asked for medical leave. It was granted but i didn't go back in the date i was supposed to due to anxiety, depression and other things. Am i fired or do i have any recourse given what i've wrote here? Thanks in advance

My mother just burnt her hand because she accidentally put on the wrong stove heat where some bowls were sitting. She grabbed the bowls, but they were so hot she burnt her hand badly and dropped them on the floor. It is really serious, she can't bend her hand, what should we do??? She is probably going to the hospital soon, but until then, what can be done???

I'm not fat but I have really fat cheeks. How can I get rid of them? Are there any exercises I can do? I not willing to do any kind of surgery or medical procedure. I just want a simple way to get rid of my fat cheeks. I also have horrible bags under my eyes. I'm only in high school and they are so bad. I've had them my whole life and I hate them. They are so bad that I can't even put any kind of concealer on them. I look like a tired old woman. I've tried home remedies like puting potato skins and cucumbers on them but it does nothing. Does anyone have a simple solution that actually works?

I've been wondering how sanitary a bar of soap is compared to using soap from a soap dispenser or pump bottle. Also, for showering, should each person have their own bar of soap and/or bottle of liquid soap?

I take just one pill, as directed, but it still makes me extremely groggy, tired, and forgetful. What ingredient does this? I'm supposedly taking the non-drowsy version!

I'm attempting to write a story and one of the characters in it doesn't feel pain. I remember reading about this somewhere but it was a while back, so I no longer remember. So, how does one feel any sort of pain? Is it from nerves? A certain gene? A DNA sequence? Any help would be appreciated.

My left ear is plugged up and every now and then my jaw hurts but I do not have a cold or sinus infection . This has been going on for close to a week now. it does not hurt so I do not necessarily think I need to see the doctor. I would love to hear some ideas as far as home remedies. I already tried blowing my nose and holding my nose and blowing. Please help, this is really annoying!!
