Certain things actually have gotten better with time, and one of those thing,at least in the U.S.,is smoking.
In what aspect of modern life have attitudes changed in recent years? can you compare and contrast these changes, and also describe the old attitudes and new ones?

Alright, I used to drink Captain Morgan and Diet Coke all the time. I used to drink a lot of it. After a while, I started not feeling so well. I would start getting sick to my stomach. I stopped drinking it for a couple weeks, then started up again with just the Captain Morgan. I drank it straight with no soda. I would also have a few shots of tequila afterwards and get buzzed and drunk.
I decided to have some soda with it again last night, and I felt ill. Why does mixing the Captain with the Soda make me ill, but the liquor straight makes me feel good?? I just don't get it.

My cholesterol is 5.4, which i know is only slightly high. I'm a 24 year old male, thin/med build, 11 stone in weight and 17% body fat. I eat quite healthy, i intake between 30-50 grams of fat each day and I rarely eat junk food. I get drunk once every week. I do 2 or 3 1 hour sessions of boxing training per week and 2 sessions of weight training. I was getting heart palpitations/fluters a few months ago so I went to my G.P. for blood tests and realised my cholesterol was 5.4. My triglisterides and levels of something in my liver were also slightly high. Before the initial blood test my diet was shocking, i was eating McDonalds or KFC every day for lunch and eating 1-2 curries each week. For the last 4 months I have improved my diet and exercise drastically and take a cholesterol lowering drink each day (Benecol) but my cholestorol has stayed exactly the same. I don't understand this. Does anyone know how I can lower it? Do you think this could cause me problems later in life?

I am 18, 5-7, and weight 137pounds, and am very happy with it. But I am afraid of keep on getting taller and taller, which I am very worried about. I know this has a lot to do with genes, and i know there isn’t really a way to stop your height. But if anybody knows of a way in which you can stop your height, please tell me about it.

saying that. I get so upset when I see people using them just because they are lazy. I saw a woman in one and she was wearing high heels. Give me a break. What is everyone's opinion on this? Am I asking for too much? I must have one to shop and most of the time cannot find one.

He had surgery last week and is thin to begin with .
I think it is part rebellion and part pain.

He is ready to go to the hospital for dehydration based on what he has refused to eat or drink for two days.
He over-heard me and now ate 1/2 sandwich and 8 ounces of water. He may be on a roll because he does not want to go to the hospital. I do not want to drag him out if he is having enough now.

WHAT AMOUNT OF H2O AND FOOD IS THE RULE?

I'm trying to decide if I want corrective eye surgery, and if so what type. If you've had it or know someone who has, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

As a kid, I was never the one that put their finger in their eyeball. I always hated the thought of it. Now I'm thinking of contacts. Is it really bad and gross to put them in? I'm also scared they will fall underneath my eye. Please share your experiences.
