I'm having a soft-tissue gum graft Thursday on my lower gums. Have any of yall ever had this done. How badly will it hurt, how long should I wait until I should try to eat, can I talk since I'll have stitches in? Please don't say " Go ask your dentist" I asked him and he told me not to be worried. Thats all he said. Thanks guys =] (link)
well leagely your dentist has to supply you on the day of the surgery a after care plan that will answer all of those questions for you. one good word of advice though if you smoke dont do it while you are healing, it will slow down the process.


does anybody know a good brand of men's deoderant(stick, not spray, please)? (link)
my husband uses degree, it smells sooo good, like hes wearing cologne, and its cheap and works.


okay i used to eat a lot.. and im not fat at all im actually really skinny because i play sports. But now i havent been eating a lot like i used to im eating very little. I dont eat breakfast and at lunch i only have like one little thing and then at dinner i only eat a little but i feel full. I dont eat any snaks in between meals.. is this normal?

i rate 6's (link)
it is normal, but not healthy by any means. what is it that you are eating when you do eat. also it is necessary to eat at least 3 meals a day for your matabisilm to have something to burn, even when you think you have energy it is nothing like the energy you will benifit from eating healthy meals. also you can eventually gain weight from not eating because you have no energy there for you do nothing but sit around and have no energy to burn, so i think i would at least try and make what you do eat spread out more througgout the day.


well my x boyfriend loves to talk a lot of crap about me and laughs when i get hurt but some of his friends tell me he still likes me but i do not know whato think please help me sincerly confuse! (link)
well first of all i hope that if he does make you feel sad and treats you mean that you wouldnt think about getting back with him. i hope you think more of yourself than to put up with that kind of behavior. i wouldnt care if he said he wanted to marry you that is not how you win a girls heart by being mean, you deserve better.

i was told during both of my pregnancys that intercorse is very safe all the way till labor, and in some cases it can help start labor. i was advised though that anal sex and use of dildos or vibrators is harmful. hope i helped.


Hey, for Pyschics in my class we're doing an Egg Drop Project. It's where you take an egg and drop it from 30 ft. And the egg can't break. The only thing we can use on our egg is sticks (that are smaller than popsicle sticks), 1 balloon, and 1 rubberband. (Or 2 rubberbands/2 balloons) And the egg has to be raw, and nothing can be at the bottom of the drop to help it. My question is, does anyone have any idea how I could design this, so that it doesn't break? Because if the egg breaks I'm pretty much screwed.

K thanks. (link)
um, i dont know if this would work ,but it sounds like it would, get the egg inside the baloon, (it can be done) then blow it up a bit, but not all the way, then tie the sticks in an x shape where the end of the balloon , secured by the rubberband, that should help it not fall so fast, i hope it works, let me know.


For my English class, I'm supposed to select three current issues, and talk about each one. It's a research essay, where I'm going to need a quote for each issue as well.

The problem is...I'm not into current issues at all. I don't read the news, and I'm not properly educated. The examples she gave us were: racism, poverty, the war in Iraq, domestic or foreign terrorism, international relations, obesity, global warming, the national debt, ect). All of these political things, I would NOT be able to talk about. I know nothing about them. So I'm thinking of picking easier topics, such as racism...and maybe 2 others. I can think of Same-sex marriage and Abortion to write about, but I don't want to do either of those. Does any one have any other ideas on easy current issues that an uneducated person like me could write about? It doesn't have to be 'school appropriate' because I am out of high school and in college. I just have no idea what issues are going on in America, except for of course the war, but I don't want to write about that. Thank you very much for any suggestions. (link)
i think racisim will be a really good one, what about teen pregnancy, illiteracy, crime statistics, the recent hurricanes, the recent michael jackson case, verdict, maybe just watch the news a couple of nights and youd be suprised that you might actually find it is very interesting, and youll probley find your answer in minutes.


Hey yeahi am 13/f and I still like my ex-boyfriend 13/m a whole lot but like his ex-gf out of nowhere cause came back to our school and now he is acting all strange around me now that she is back but before she was here we were like the best of friends but now we have drifted apart and I have told him how i felt about him but he always changes the subject like he is avoiding it what should i do? (link)
well i myself wouldnt want to be around someone who just blew me off. sounds like he is still likeing this other chick. but hes 13 so who knows, to be honest he will probley like a new person next week. that is how boys that young are, and they really dont change all that much the older they get. so i wouldnt stress over it, maybe you should be looking to hang out with someone who will give you all the attention you want. good luck.


okay well lately ive really had the urge to have a baby. im 16 and ive been watching kids and playing with my niece ( 2 1/2) and it really makes me want to have one. i dont want one for the sex or anything i just want it for the whole thing pregancy, birth baby everything and going around kids makes me want one more and more. what should i do? i dont live it a kind of neighbor hood where that is really acepted and my parents would kill me if i had a child but i want one so bad like you have no idea what do i do? its not like i can even control these urges they are there



its not like i want to i do but its like this urge that wont go away its all i cant think about. and watching my niece doesnt help it makes me want 1 of my own more.


i know i am emotional stable and if i did get pregnant my family would help me support this child but i know its not how i was raised and there arent alot of teen pregnancies in my more upscale neighborhood but i feel like i cant live without having a child

i also do babysit and work with children (link)
well takes this from a mom of two. i feel the same way i love kids and i wouldnt trade them for the world. but when it comes down to it sometimes i wish i would of waited a little longer before i had them. its not only about wanting a child you need to beready for a child. you cant expect yuor family to help you raise a child, if you cant say that you can do it on your own, you are not ready for one. its great when you work w/ them, babysit maybe even for a couple of days. you get to give them back though, when they are yours there is noone to give them to. also if you enjoy having a childhood, like shopping, staying out late, having nice things, well then let me tell you once you have children, most of that goes away. you have to sacrafice for them, you will always be second, you will have absolutely no needs that come first anymore once you have a child, including, food, showers, any free time, sleep, money, the list goes on and on. that is something you have to be ready for and also realise that not all kids are the same you may have been really lucky and watched some children who were little angels, or slept all night. well not normal. would you be ready for a colicy baby who keeps you up for days, or a child with anyother special need, you never know how yours will turn out, and then if there are problems, you will have to dedicate even more of yourself. i hope you seriously give all this some more thought. to have a child it is not good enough in todays world to just want one, you need to know you can handle one and are ready for one, on your own.


ok well on sunday my boyfriend fingered me and now i've been having brown discharge. what could this be? i know it's not my period by i had that over 2 weeks ago and normally when i'm about to start i my boobs hurt and my discharge isn't brown and my boobs haven't been hurting. when he was doing it it felt like he was kinda scratching . . could that be it? thanks in advance! (link)
yes he could of scratched you and it could be just a little blood in your discharge from that, next time i wold ask him to be a little more gentle.


well i just got my period and everytime i go to tell my mom i get really nervous and start to like shake and i don't know what to do!!!


5's for any answer (link)
oh honey there is nothing wrong with starting your period. go talk to your mom asap. remeber she was young once, and im sure she knows it is about that time for you, she is probley just as nervous as you are.


what are sign of pregnacy
(link)
i think for everyone there are signs that vary, but here are some i experenced;
swollen and sore breasts, connstantly going to the bathroom, increased thirst, slight pains in my stomach, certain smells made me sick, nausia, tired all the time, and a really just hard to explain feeling i got i knew something was diffrent with my body.


i heard that giving compliments is the best way to meet the guy you like. what kind of compliment would be the best if you're giving it to a guy, and you're a girl? "cool shoes?"

anything that doesn't strike the other person as weird that i'm noticing their shoes or whatever.. please help! (link)
well does he play sports, if so, go to a game and afterward tell him how good he was, or notice a day he wears cologne and tell him how good he smells, just casually not making a big deal, and smile, my guy friends have told me that that is the # 1 way to get a guy to notice you is to smile at them alot, and appear happy and approachable.


Ok, I don't want any smartass answer but my friend ask my crush out. I know that guys hate it when a girls friend askes them out. But I couldn't stop her! I asked her what he said and he just said " I don't know." I really like this guy. But I don't want him to think I am a baby and can't do things myself. So what can I say? I really need. Help. (link)
if you get a chance to talk to him let him know you didnt want her to ask him, you wanted to do it yourself. then i would have a serious talk with my friend and ask her why she thought she had the right to do that.


O.K. I hate cleaning but thats how i get money.So how do i get to like cleaning? (link)
listen to headphones and sing your heart out while you claen, dance with the mop, and vacume, that what i do at home and it makes it so much more fun.


what are some healthy ways i can relieve stress? besides eating. I have a habit to eat everything in site when i am stressed. but i dont gain anything. maybe that is why. im 15 and weigh 90 lbs. so, i need a healthier way to relieve stress. what is a good way to relieve stress when i am at school? because i cant eat everything in sight at school. an average lunch i take in 450 calories. Not today! i was under a whole lot of stress and i took in about 900! so yeah. i need a healthy way to relieve stress other than eating! (link)
are you really keeping that close of an eye on what you are eating by counting your calories, if so i dont think you are at that point in your life where you need to be worring about stuff like that. you could talk to a councelous at school, they could advise you of activitys your school will allow you to do while in class to releive stress. and what is really stressing you out so much at school???


How much do tanning salons cost to go?? Thanks!! (link)
at most you can get tanning packages where it is like $30.00 a month for unlimited tanning, i would be careful though, not to go to much, and make sure it is a clean place.


someone please help me i dont know wut to think..me and my bf have been going out for 2 months and now all of a sudden hes been talking bout this gurl name brittany(shes my friend)he asked me wut her last name is and he wants to c her myspace and all that.well normally when we r talking he says i love you before i do and wen he has to go he says i love you to me first,but today he didnt say i love you first,and hes talkin bout my friend brittany, but he sed the only person he will ever like and love is me and that will never change. and i think im thinking he kinda likes her but normally i would never think that cuz me and him are in a deep love relationship and we both love eachother SOOO MUCH but i dont know what i should do.what should i do,think, or say?someone please help me i never felt this way about him b4!someone please help A.S.A.P.(sry about it being soooo long)i rate very high (link)
well it sounds like you need to talk to the both of them, sepretly though. if you guys have been together for only 2 months, theres probley alot you dont know about him. how old are you by the way. im asking because when you are young it seems like there is no one else in the world that you could ever be with than the one you ae with, when in reality two months is not a very long time to know someone well enough to say there is no one else for you, get what i mean. i not tring to be mean, belive me i felt the same way once, there is just one thing you need to know about young men, they tend to like more than one girl at a time, its kind of like an oppertunity thing if one comes up theyll snag it. does your friend talk to this boy, without you around. does she ask about him. i would just sit back and watch, if this girl is a good friend she shouldnt step in on your boyfriend, and if she did she probley wasent a good friend anyway, and he starts spending time around her, or acts like he wants to i would say it is time to find a new love of your life.


I move around alot, bouncing from Dad to Mom to Dad and back to my Mom ... once again I want to move back to my dad's but it is so much different this time here are some of the major reasons why:

1.My dad's Cancer, I feel so horrible not being there taknig care of him
2.My depression; Up here I thought I would be happier but I'm missing so much of my life that is going on down there my depression meds aren't working anymore becuase my depressions getting worse
3.All my friends are down there ... I can't make friends up here, I've been here for 6 months and I haven't made one friend ... I jsut don't want to becuase I only want my friends from CT I know everyone who is reading this is prolly like "If you try then you'll make friends don't give up" but I have tried and ... I just want you all and not some fucking Redsocks loving, black people hating, homophoboes that are up here

I know thats only three things but here are the reasons why I'd stay up here:

1.my mom's feelings

I just can't do things to make others happy anymore if it makes me depressed ... I'm growing up, I'll be gone off to college soon and I just rather be a happy person going off bymyself knowing I have friends right back at home then going and being depressed and not remembering social skills to make friends becuase honestly ... ever since that bastard Adam "hypnotysed" me under his spell I have lost all sense of myself and I have been trying to get it back since I broke free ... I just want to be happy

Please Help,

i say follow your heart, have you talked to your mom about why you want to move. since your dad has cancer i think it would be a good idea to spend as much time with him as possible. i understand about the whole friend thing, when i was young my parents moved me away from the only place i knew and i was resentful for a long time, i am still in that place and now that i am an adult i have learned to adapt, but it is hard as a young adult to sart all over with trying to make new friends, i think you should go where you feel comfertable.


I plan on becoming sexually active soon. I am currently on birth control and we plan to use that AND a condom as protection. I was wondering if anyone knew the percentage of the effectiveness if both protection methods are used together? I know the chance of getting pregnant is really slim, but if anyone knows the actual percentages for the typical use of them (not totally perfect use), then I'd appreciate it. Thanks a bunch. (link)
well when i was on the pill i was told the percentage rate was 97. condoms when used correctly are about the same, now with spermicide, that would be tripple protection, maybe not necessary but better to be safe then sorry. it is supposed to kill sperm on contact so if you did all that i would say your percent would be 100. i comend you for being so careful, and not having an unplanned child, if everyone was as smart as you , i think the disease rate would be cut in half.
