KEEP IN MIND TOM SAID IN THE NOTE HE THINKS SHE IS A SMALL, AND SIZE 5 OR 1
and HE EVEN SAID HE WAS JUST THROWING OUT NUMBERS TO MAKE A COMPARISON. HERE IS
THE STORY: Tom and Margaret were sitting in a diner. Tom noticed that Margaret was wearing an oversized coat:
Tom said (as he touched her sweater): "Size 10 body in a size 12 sweater.
Margaret: "Do you think I am a size 10?"
Tom said: "No. All I am trying to do is make a comparison that the sweater is bigger than your body. I could have easily said size 50 body in size 52 sweater or I could have said a size 100 body in a size 102 sweater or even size
300 body in a size 306 sweater. I am just throwing out numbers"
However, the next day when Tom saw Margaret he handed her a note that he had written: Margaret is not extra, extra, large, Margaret is not extra large, Margaret is not large, Margaret is not medium, and has never been medium. Margaret is small and has always been small. Margaret I THINK you ARE a size 5 and if size 5 would be considered a large size than I think you ARE a size 1.;
Margaret told her friends about the sweater incident in the diner and showed them the note Tom gave to her and her friends said to her that: (1) in the diner all Tom was doing is trying to show that the sweater is bigger than the body; and he does not think she is higher than a size 5; MY QUESTION: DO YOU AGREE WITH MARGARETS FRIENDS

Yes.
I also think Margaret shouldn't be too stressed as Tom is basically just showing that he doesn't understand Womens' sizes... and why should he? :)

I heard a lot that if you pull in your stomach or squeeze it in, it helps you lose weight (burn fat). Is that true? (link)

It's not exactly pulling in your stomach; what you want to do is tense your stomach muscles. The difference is that pulling in your stomach is sort of collapsing your abs. On the other hand, if you tighten your abs (think the way you would respond if someone was about to punch you in the stomach, or maybe when you try to breathe out really forcefully) you're actually using the muscle, so it's more like weight training. THAT burns fat.

I have come to the point where I cant write, concentrate, derive pleasure from anything, have difficulty remembering things, have blurred vision, eyes seriously hurt, sometimes have severe headaches, most of the time dont know what I am talking especially with my elder brother. I have nt got father and mother I live my elder brother and his wife since 6 years. I am 26/M an MBA had a successful career but now since six months things have been deteriorating. I cant bear it any more. Plz tell me the easiest way to commit suicide which hurts less and is quick and doesnt make much of a mess. (link)

It sounds as though stress and depression are your major problems. Guess what? They're treatable through considerably more pleasant methods than killing yourself. It's a waste of a valuable life, not to mention a kick to the gut to everyone who has ever helped you or loved you. Trust me; three of my friends have killed themselves never knowing how many people really loved and cared about them or how much better things could soon get. Suicide is never the best option, even when it seems like the only one. And now for an unpleasant (to you) answer to your actual question: there is no way to commit suicide that doesn't involve some horrendous cleanup for the unlucky and more than likely traumatized person who stumbles upon it... see, suicide's aftermath always involves a body. Do you know anyone who wants to clean up one of those? Also, it's never peaceful- your bowels evacuate, you might hemorrhage-it's all a nasty mess. And there's a distinct possibility that you'll survive but do permanent damage to yourself, so you'll have not only a painful experience but years of pain and difficulty. Even when you can't think of a reason to live, there a lot of great reasons NOT to kill yourself.

Ok so heres the deal. lately i have been feeling well out of it? idk but like suddenly things that happened five minutes ago seem very far away. I feel like my memory is going even though I remember everything ( or so everyone says ) I am going to recieve a neurological exam but my doctors don't think there is anything physically wrong with me. I have also been seeing a therapist and am on a new pill for anxiety but the problem isn't going away. am I just paranoid or is there really something there? i went through this thing a couple of months ago where I was getting heart pains and was convinced I was having a heart attack but that disappeared as randomly as it came. will I ever feel more like myself? (link)

If the "out of it" feeling came after the new pill for anxiety, that could easily be a side effect of the drug- it's a common one for psychiatric and neurological medications. If not, this could still be the effect of a change in your diet, a lack of sleep or overworking of your body--I've had the same feeling from a bad case of the flu. It could be a bigger problem, but unless it worsens, I'd suggest not worrying yourself too much about it.

The most general explanation of serious depression is just that negative feelings are affecting the way that you live. If your eating and sleeping patterns have been changing lately--and it sounds like they have-- there is probably a problem. Talk to someone. Even if this isn't clinical depression, it's a problem, and talking, keeping busy, finding new hobbies, etc. are ALWAYS a good idea to improve your mood.
