What happens if I accidentally swallow phlegms and muscus because I couldn't spit them out? (link)
|
So long as you get it up and out of your lungs
is the main thing. Nothing bad will happen if you swallow it. :)

I am 24 years old and my period is about 10 days late. It never has been this late before. I am trying to think of any other reason beside pregnancy. One thing I think it could be is it that for the first time in my life I started to drink coffee this month. I have been drinking a few cups a day. Could this be cause???? (link)
|
No, what you eat or drink doesn't affect
your periods.
If you have gained or lost a ton of weight,
or started a very demanding exercise program,
that may cause some differences. Stress &
worry can cause it to be late also.
If you have had unprotected sex lately, Get
a home pregnancy test or see your doctor.

My ex boyfriend and I were going out for ten months. I moved to a different state before our nine month anniversary, but he came down and stayed with me for august. he went home and after that everything started to become really weird. We started fighting more and we just broke up. But we thought we were going to try and work it out after we had some time to ourselves, he said that he wanted to be with me still and that he wouldnt date anyone else. But then I kept hearing things from other people that he was seen with other girls, and one of my friends said that one of HER friends had been talking with him since school started and they liked eachother. Now, the other day, what happens, he says he wants to see other people and gets a girlfriend. But he's still telling me that he loves me and cares about me and misses me and wants to be friends until we can "work it out and be together". I'm just really confused, I told him that I can't trust him anymore, that it will probably never work out. And I don't get why he's saying that when he's the one who chose to have a new girlfriend. So, if anyone has any advice on what to say to him or how to get over this mess it would be appriciated. (link)

Find a guy where you live. I know that
isn't the answer you are wanting but,
your guy friend is right. You can't go
dates living in two different states.
You don't want to be sitting home and
pecking on the computer while your
friends are out on dates.
If its truly meant to be, you will
try again someday. In the meantime,
you don't want to let time pass you
by. Remain friends, but date others.
No reason not to trust him, he was
honest with you. :)

My dog : http://i35.tinypic.com/e0llc8.jpg
She's only 8 months, and i know you have to discipline/train a puppy so i was just wondering if there's an effective quick solution to her problems. She's very hyperactive and when we leave her alone she barks, cries, poops/pees on the carpet, and most importantly: she destroys anything in sight of her. At night we have to keep her in the cage, in the day we have to keep her outside. I hate it, especially since we're close to winter. Me and my dad are most likely going to fight about this. He's already yelled at me for what she did last time (She tore of some of the old couch from the basement). He told me next time it happens he's going to take the dog away:(
So, anybody know any nice effective training methods to stop my dog from biting and chewing things she shouldn't? She's already ruined a whole bunch of my teddy bears >. (link)

What's a hydro? My friend had some white pills and told me to snort them/eat them I'm like uh..what are they? She's like they're hydros. So what exactly is a hydro for? And what would happen if you did snort/eat them? (link)
|
I have to agree its probably hydrocodone
since it is in pill form. It is a narcotic
pain reliever and can be habit forming.
Never take something that isn't prescribed
for you.

Ok so my parents split up about 3 years ago. My mother got together with this other man about 2 years ago or maybe more. Ever since they have gotten together my mom has changed alot. i mean alot. she acts different around me and my two younger brothers. she has becomed im ashamed of saying it but a pervert. she will make out with my stepdad in front of us and be all sexual talk wtih him. i mean i would never be sexually talking to a boyfriend in front of her! thats really akward. and they act like its normal for them to be touching all upon eachother in fron of me and my brothers. i try to discuss with them but they just ignore me. it really bothers me and it kind of effects my brothers also. they tell the whole world that my mom will be having intercourse with my stepdad in front of them.
is this normal or not?
because to me it really isnt.
advice on how to discuss it with them is needed.
thanks (link)
|
No it isn't normal they are doing this in
front of you. A kiss or hug is one thing
but talking about or doing sexual things
in front of you is really not at all
necessary.
Talk to them about it. Do not wait until
they are going at it. They won't listen
then.
Just tell mom you find it embarrassing and inappropriate. Tell her you are happy they
are so in love, but that you really don't
want to know about their sex life. You might
also let her know that your brothers find it something to gossip about.

my fiance and I have been trying to have a baby now for months and we're having a very difficult time. I just can't seem to get pregnant no matter how many times we have sex and how many times he ejaculates in me. I have even tried pretty much doing a headstand to keep the "stuff" inside of me. can anyone give me tips on how to get pregnant? what tim e of the month is easiest to get pregnant? Like when do most women ovulate? I WILL RATE HIGH! PLEASE HELP! (link)
|
The best advice I can give is to see your
doctor. He/She can give you all the information
you need. I will add that if you were taking
the birth control pill before you made this
decision, it can take a while to get pregnant
once you stop taking it.

Im a female, and I have had sex with 3 people, one small medium and big. I dont know whats wrong with me I cant feel anything when penetrated. I dont get tingles I dont have anything it just feels like rubbing. I can feel clit stimulation so.... whats wrong? how come nothing happens? Im very in love with the man Im sleeping with and still nothing. (link)
|
You are absolutely normal! Orgasm comes from
stimulation of the clitoris. Not from
penetration. The males pelvic thrusts can
stimulate you during sex enough to cause
orgasm. It helps if you have a lot of
foreplay before actually having sex.

I play guitar and I have been trying to write lyrics lately. They all sound horrible though because they are so corny.
They also just sound like I've written a story. In most songs parts of them don't really make sence and they arent written like a story.
I've looked on heaps and heaps of lyric and song writing websites but none have been any help to me :S
x (link)
|
There is nothing wrong with songs that tell
a story. Just change the lyrics that don't
fit the story.
As an example, Springsteen tells some great
stories. I realize his style may not appeal
to everyone, but take a look at some of his
lyrics. :) Great stories!

To start, my brother and I are extremely close, considering I'm his LITTLE sister (by 2 years) and he's sixteen. Our close relationship is the reason I am asking this, not because I'm being a nosy little sister.
Ok, My brother, sixteen, has a girlfriend who is seventeen. They claim to be "in love" and I have no doubt they love each other, but I don't know how long it will last once my brother knocks over the first dominoe by telling my parents.
My brother, recovering pot addict, bipolar, extremely OCD, and a little schitzophrenic has gone through quite a lot over the last 4 years or so. He's had his ups and downs, usually dragging the rest of our family (2 younger sisters age seven and eight, My dad, My mom, and me) down with him. He'll have these random angry moments where he slams doors, punches walls, gets out of a moving vehicle at a stop light, and pretty much breaks my moms heart. He always ends up just running out the door.
Recently, he's received his license. Scary, right? I'm afraid he'll just lose it one of these days and drive off and leave me here to help the rest of the family get through it. Well, a week before he got his license, my dad's girlfriend had to move back to Florida, because she was unable to sell her house and couldn't find anyone to move into it for her. Keep in mind, this woman is literally my dad's dream girl. They are absolutely in love, but hesitant to marry because they've both been cheated on by their "significant other".
Anyways, so she had to move back, and my brother started manipulating and bugging my parents to help him buy a car. I think this is very self-centered, but all he wants is a car. So that caused tension between my dad and my brother (they live together).
Now, on top of ALL of this that has happened, my brother goes and gets his girlfriend pregnant. Ok, I'm sure he didn't mean for her to get pregnant, but it happened, and neither of them want an abortion. Also, his girlfriend has been being sexually harrassed and repeatedly raped by her own father for the last 5 years.
My own father is completely against the idea of my brother and his girlfriend ever having sex, so as you can tell, if my brother tells him, my dad's going to rip his head off.
My brother is planning to tell my mom first because he absolutely hates her, but she is always trying to "connect" with him, so she is very leniant with him. He thinks that she'll help him out, but we really don't have the space or finances for a child! He's just not understanding the consequences of his mistakes!!!
I really don't know what to do! I know he's going to wait until he's off probation (about a month) to tell, so we only have a few more weeks of happiness left before the screaming and anger starts all over again. I don't think I can handle another one of these outbreaks, I really don't, but there's nowhere to go to hide from it all. While all of these outbreaks occur, I usually just hideout in my room for a few weeks, but I know that this one could last months! I don't think i'm ready for this mentally.
Please help, I don't know what to do! The fighting will go on between my mom and dad about what they should do about my brother, and between my brother and them. I can't handle it! Please help me! There's no escape from the constant despair lingering in our household! Any advice is accepted! (link)
|
Please don't take this the wrong way, but
I think your brother is to immature to be
anyone's father.
First of all is he sure it is his? If she is
being raped by her father then it could be his.
Gross I know, but it is possible.
The mother of this child needs taken out
of her situation. If she doesn't leave
I fear for what SHE may go through at home.
Someone needs to call Social services and
get her out of there.
If for some reason she stays, her child will
probably be abused the same way. What a mess.
Since both your brother and his girlfriend
seem to have many problems of their own, I
think if you have any say at all, you should
encourage them to at least consider putting
the baby up for adoption. This is just to
much to bring a baby into.
I think your dad may be upset at first. He
will get over it though. I think you need
to steer his thoughts to the environment
his future grandchild may be living in.
That may get him working with your brother
on a solution to this, rather than just
being mad at him.
Best of luck to all of you.

I recently lost my virginity about 5 days ago. I understand that i am supoosed to be sore or what not but how lng does that last? Also i have sharp pains in my vagina, if i go to urinate and apply pressure it will begin to be sore.... I dont have any discharge or outstanding odor just in pain what do i do? Do i need to see a doctor?? (link)
|
Your first time could leave you sore for
a couple of days. Sharp pains or any real
pain, however is not normal. Especially
since it has been 5 days.
I advise you to see a doctor as soon as
you can. It may not be anything serious
but play it safe.

hey i havent talked to you in a while.
im slowly recovering from everything.
but i have a major question.
i havent spoken to him in almost a month.
and one of my friends in FL added him on myspace.
which pissed me off.
everything is hidden, so he doesnt know that i know her.
and he commented her.
and she responded and such.
and its pretty much.
'sup. where in fl? so your a junior?'
that kinda stuff.
and she claims she added him because he was cute, and wanted to see other pictures though i showed her.
should i be upfront with him and tell him thats she knows me..so he can maybe perhaps trust me?
i just called him, knowing he wouldnt answer...and he didnt..and i dunno if i should even tell him.
but then again.. if he tells her something, and she tells me..and he somehow finds out that she knows me.. he's gonna be pissed..
should i be honest and just tell him? (link)
|
If shes in Florida and you guys aren't, I
wouldn't worry about it to much. Nothing
much will happen between them. It is pretty
rotten of her to pursue him though, knowing
how you feel.
Good thing for you to be honest with him
regardless.

okay so i went over to my friends house one day and we were doing makeovers, ha and i used this stuff called "avon magix face perfecter" and i really really want it now!! But i have no idea what store to get it at. help? Thanks in advance! (link)

You can find it on their website
or find an Avon representative in
your area. Ask your friend who she
gets her Avon products from. Get
a catalog for yourself! :)

I really do not want to take a lunch break at work, but my boss always insists on it around the same time each day. I always have a huge breakfast before work and have a nice dinner when I come home so in between I'm not really hungry and, to be honest, I'd like to get my work done while I'm there.
A fellow employee recently informed me that it was against the law for me NOT to take lunch, but I'm not really sure as to how true this is. My coworker said something about my boss getting a fine or something around those lines if I were to complain that he did not force me to take a lunch break. This sounds ridiculous to me. I'm an adult.
So, do I HAVE to take lunch at work or is it really against the law for me to work and not take lunch break? I definately do not want to get anyone in trouble, but I'd really rather work while I'm in the building. If all of this is true, then WHY do I absolutely HAVE to take lunch breaks each day? (link)
|
It actually is state law that they have to
provide you with meal and rest breaks. It
depends on the state you live in.
If you aren't paid for lunch breaks, and
don't take them, then they would have to pay
you for the break you didn't take. Most
employers aren't willing to do that.
If you don't want to take a break and choose
to work your break for free, you probably
could. IF your employer agreed. You would
probably have to sign something.
My advice is to take the break. :)
Here are the laws for some states, since
I don't know what state you are in. Not all
are listed but they are all about the same.

I'm (almost) 21 f, he's 23. Long story as short as I can make it, we dated officially for about nine months in '05-'06. Our relationship kinda sucked, neither of us were ourselves (I was a scared creature in a new environment and he was medicated for depression), and he was emotionally abusive. I ended it after he basically pushed me to it. Somehow, we wound up in kind of an on-and-off friends with benefits relationship, and I was okay because I just wanted his attention. I tried to move on, dated someone else, and ran into my ex after 2 months. All the feelings were still there, and I pretty much ran back into his arms, but not into a relationship. (He's a recently admitted commitmentphobe (after I pointed it out, he said "...you're right.")) We had some problems. His family hates me for no reason, and he cared more about what they thought than about me. In light of that, I said I never wanted to see him again.
He contacted me a few hours later in tears. After talking for awhile, I agreed to be pen pals, so we weren't completely out of contact. We stayed out of touch for a week, until he called me, begging for another chance. I almost said no, but after he promised me his family would never get in the way of our friendship again, I decided to give him sort of a trial period. If he messed up even once in any way reminiscent of our past, he was gone for good. I didn't tell him about this plan. It's been a month and things are...really different.
He's taken me out, he's promising dinner, drinks, and some sort of impressive present for my birthday, which is coming up in three weeks, he makes a point to see me every day, even if it's just for an hour at the coffee shop between classes.
We're moving closer, and he's really turning back into my best friend. We're both much happier now that he's decided he needs me in his life. He's much more open, we're together all the time, and physically closer, too. We hug and cuddle and stuff again, and a few nights ago, he said "I love you." I responded in kind, but now I feel ultimately confused. I don't know where this leaves us now. Are we headed back towards a relationship? Do I even want to go that route?
I told him we couldn't be as close as we were, that too much had happened between us for me to be able to open up to him again, but at the same time I can feel myself doing it. I know I should have my guard up more than ever, but for some reason I don't, and I don't know what's going on. I just need an outside eye to analyze the situation, if someone can.
Thanks in advance. =) (link)
|
I think you need to use extreme caution.
You mentioned he was emotionally abusive.
That doesn't just change. He is actually
still using it. "He contacted me a few
hours later in tears." And you've gone
from pen pals to more in what seems a
short time, but I may have read wrong.
My gut feeling is that something isn't
right with this. I think you may feel
the same. I would hold off for a while
on getting really serious. Remember that
emotionally abusive people know how to
play with your head.

Sorry if this is the wrong category. I CANNOT take this anymore! She is driving me crazy! When I say "bad things" about her, please don't hate on me for that, just please help me and give me advice. Ok, so she says she hates her life and is gonna commit suicide sometime. She's all happy about it too! She's like "yay I'm gonna die soon, and commit suicide! awesome! :DDDDD" I don't buy any of this AT ALL. The thing is, she has said things like this PLENTY of times before. Yet, nothing happens. I'm tired of her talking about things like that when she doesn't do anything. She just puts on this lil act! I do care about it. When I tell her and try to help her, she just ignores me! I talk to her on aim a lot... so I know she probably reads it, she just ignores and doesn't care about anything i say. She's like in-denial... She just disagrees with what i have to say, like if I say "you have many positive things in your life, you're just thinking about the negative too much that you're completely ignoring everything and you don't realize anything!", she just says "My life is stupid" or something like that. I just wanna scream "YOU'RE STUPID!" (no offense.) Her parents won't do anything about it. Her parents DO know about her "suicide" thoughts. It drives me COMPLETELY insane because she knows nothing about "suicide" and stuff. She has changed so much from 6th grade. I don't know what has gotten into her. Now, she says she's going to drop out of school cause she's sick and tired of everything and almost everyone in it. She just doesn't understand things. My friends is only in 8th grade! I don't believe her. She also said she was gonna die before her 14th birthday. Which is coming up on December 1. Something else that I don't believe, since it's basically impossible, is that she said something about "I'm going to die/I've been wanting to die since I was BORN"... She wasn't at school today. Now she says she won't EVER come back. Her parents don't do ANYTHING. They let her "jip" school today! I'm just tired of her. I'm sorry. I'm in fact helping her, and giving her advice at this moment. She doesn't understand anything! Like how life can be SO SUCKY but yet you should be GRATEFUL for even having a chance at life. Because you know she's hating life right now, when many innocent people have had their life taken from them. I'm so confused by her... I can't really explain/describe everything. I wish I could cause i could get better advice. I'm sorry to this this, but everything she says, I think it's complete BS!!! and it's driving me CRAZY! I'm getting so frustrated right now. Again, I think she doesn't understand the pain that other people have gone through. Then she goes and talks about things when she doesn't even "understand them correctly." It makes me wanna say "before you go and say stupid things, would you please at least get a better understaning of things and learn them correctly?!" *sighhhh* She keeps talking about stupid things like that. Like, "where are my poisons so I can suicide right now?!" that was no typo.... but I'm SO tired of her "happy joyful" act when you mentions things like that. If she talks about dying, she acts "happy." I don't buy it at all. I can't tell if she's for real or putting on an act. I think it may be both. I don't mean to sound like a bitchy friend either. Sorry for any profanity I may use. I'm not sure what to do anymore. Telling her parents, well that won't work. Giving her advice myself and trying to help her? I'm doing the best I can. I'm doing sooo much to try and help her. Her ignorance is getting on my nerves. x| Right now she keeps saying how "everyone's lives" and everyone will be better and happier without her. I know how she feels. Sometimes, you have to deal with things right? and wait for things to get better? I don't even believe in half of the advice I give sometimes, though I believe it will be able to help others. Please help! I don't know what to do! I'm going absolutely crazy and I'm getting so infuriated! =|.... thank you for any advice! Also, I prefer more experience people to answer this. No offense, but if I get short advice, I don't think that will help much unless you have something important to say in a short amount of words!! (link)
|
She certainly keeps your attention doesn't she?
She loves it. Since her parents already know
about it, and choose to do nothing, they will
be the ones at fault should she ever carry out
her threats. NOT YOU. Know that right now.
This will be tough to do but I think you should
be the one to start ignoring her. Maybe even
stop talking to her all together. She is feeding
off of your reactions to all this and it may
be the only solution.
Look, you have tried. The truth is you are not
a professional therapist. There is really not
a thing you can do to make her see things right.
Even if you were a professional you wouldn't
be treating a friend.
All you are getting out of this friendship
is aggravation & worry. You don't need that.
You can't allow her problems to put you into
a depression yourself.
You cannot save her, if she really even needs saving. I don't mean that to sound bad. I
simply mean if she is not putting on a big act for sympathy and attention. Which is possible. You and I though aren't qualified to make that call. We have to assume she is serious.
My advice is to stop hanging out with her and
talking to her on AIM. When she asks why just
tell her you refuse to hear any more of it. If
she stops, great. Hang out with her again.
BUT, the very minute she starts in again, leave.
Walk away, go offline on AIM, whatever it takes.
Do it enough times and she will start to take
you seriously. You have to stick with it and
not listen to it anymore.
Good luck.

How are we supposed to pay our debts with this economic crisis? Finances are getting tight and it's getting harder to pay our bills. The government will bail out business but what about the American people? If these businesses fall, like WaMu and Wachovia, what about people that have loans with them? Why are we paying back our debts to them if they no longer exist? (link)
|
Those lucky enough to have a job just
muddle along like they always have. I
think they will hammer out a plan to
bail out the banks soon. But people
still need to wake up. Learn to live
within their means.
The Government almost has to bail out
the banks to HELP the American people.
I think we all would rather they sink or
swim, but letting them do that would
cause even more problems.
Example..My husband works for Goodyear.
Last week (maybe still) banks froze
all credit. Big company's like Goodyear
and GM couldn't get into thier money
market funds. Those are funds they use
for day to day business expenses and
more important for us..payroll. They
had to get a quick loan for it and it
worked out...this time. If banks go
under, they wouldn't be able to get
loans. Big business and small business
will start to go under. More people
will lose jobs or take dramatic pay
cuts.
So, that is the ONLY reason they are
helping the banks. In the long run,
they ARE helping the people.
Now some will still lose their houses
or try to sell them and go to more
affordable places. The reason is that
banks were giving loans and credit
cards to people who really couldn't
afford them. They will now have to
pay all that back and it will be a
hardship for them. Money is still
owed regardless of weather or not
a bank failed. Those loans are bought
up by other banks or the government
will take over those loans if they
bail a place out. They may help some
people refinance, but the money will
still have to be paid back.

alright so heres the thing i had sex with my boyfriend aug 28th(condom broke) and 4 days after my missed period, i thought i got it although now im not sure if it was my period i mean it lasted four 4days it wasn't "light" but it wasn't "heavy either" and the first day was sept 14 i got it on to the 17 and now like this last week at school people said that " i was eating fast" like i didnt even notice it but it was happening all week and today i got acid reflex well i have never had that in my life so its just weird .. and my boobs are pretty sore .is it in my head? or could i really be pregnant? 16.f btw (link)
|
You had your period. I am 99% sure you are
not pregnant. Nothing you listed are symptoms
of pregnancy, except maybe sore boobs. Sore
boobs can happen anytime though so its not
a good sign of pregnancy.
Stop worrying. If you don't you may miss
your next period because of stress. :)

Whenever i use the internet, my internet goes down every 10 minutes not even kidding this is what the connection says. can someone help me?
Wireless Network Connection 6 (linksys)(unsecured)
Speed: 54.0 mbps
(as im typing this my internet went down)
Signal Strength: Very Good
Status: Connected
what does unsecured mean?
this is really annoying because when im on AIM it goes down at the worst times when im having a convo with someone, or even at the best times and i have to say "sorry my internet went down, what did you say?" then theyll tell me and itll go down again. its SO annoying! please help! and i've tried to "repair" it with that option and it doesnt do anything!

Do you by chance have a dial-up internet service?
I used to have and had the same problem.
Some providers kick you off every so often.
Mine was 15 or 20 minutes and then it would disconnect me.
The only solution is to get a DSL internet
provider. Its more expensive but worth it.
OK after I wrote this I see it says you have
a wireless connection. I suppose some could
run the same as dial-ups. Call your internet
service provider and tell them about it. See
if they have a solution for you. :)

Okay here it goes ( i posted asking for help but wouldn’t say what but now I decided to just say everything)..I have a boyfriend of 9 months as of the first of October he lives five hours away, well I kind of want a relationship here and lately we’ve been really disagreeing on things. i admit, i smoke marijuana but i really don’t think that its that bad.but yeah, i do it during lunch at school but have c's or higher in all my classes but one. My boyfriend hates it that i get high period. I want to stop for him but i love being high it feels so much better than sobriety and another thing i used to be bulimic but i stopped for three months but like a week ago i gave up and started throwing up. my boyfriend also doesn’t approve of this i know what i do is bad and wrong but its my body and my life. Its not i don’t want to be with him because he wont let me do what i want. I really want someone here. But you see every time we break up he gets emotional and cries and gets way too over dramatic. He’s tried to kill himself over me.=/ I don’t wanna break his heart but I want someone here. but yeah i really don’t know what to do about any of this on here so help pleaseee! (link)

You need a relationship closer to home.
There is so much going against this long
distance romance so get out of it. If he
threatens to off himself, then contact
his parents, if you can. Tell him that
both of you need relationships in the
real world, close to home.
While marijuana probably isn't the worse
thing you could be doing, it is still
illegal. You really should try and stop.
Not to mention doing it at school in a
no drug zone...you could get in a ton
of trouble if caught.
You do need to seek help for the bulimia.
