Why can't I remember my dreams? Is it bad if you can't remember dreams?
Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 12:21 am
I can never remember my dreams! When I wake up I can remember I had a dream and that I REALLY wanted to (for example) tell somebody about it but I cannot recall ANYTHING about it really. I know I've been dreaming but I can never remember them and it's frustrating. Is it because I don't get very many hours of sleep? Should I see a sleep specialist about it because my best friend said that her dad had to go to one of those before for something...

Why is my stomach growling all of the time?!
Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 12:11 am
I don't know what happened but for the past two weeks my stomach has been growling so loud and so frequently. I haven't changed my eating habits and I do eat fairly well so I really don't think it's that I'm actually hungry! It's getting on my nerves because it's embarrassing to have a growling stomach near my friends. What am I doing wrong?! Should I go see a doctor about a constant stomach growl or something?!

Should I remove my broken, black smashed toenail?
Posted Tuesday March 23 2010, 10:39 pm
More than 6 months ago I dropped something on my foot and it smashed my toenail place very good. It hurt REALLY bad and instantly bruised up underneathe the nail. It hurt for the first two weeks really badly and was difficult to wear shoes (had to anyway because of work). Well, it's been awhile now and my toenail has grown out quite a bit. This week it has start to detach from the toe itself (the toenail is still black/purple looking...nasty). Should I go on and pull/clip the rest of the toenail off or let it fall off in time by itself?

Is there a test for color-blindness?
Posted Tuesday March 23 2010, 10:39 pm
About a month ago my boyfriend figured out that I have problems seeing the difference in certain colors like red and orange. Since then I've noticed that it's more than just a casual-sometimes problem. I've noticed that I have problems ALL the time with these colors. Is there a professional test I can take to see if I have problems with other colors that I haven't realized yet? I read that it's extremely rare that girls have colorblindness issues but, apparently, it can happen. Should I see a doctor or something?

How do I tell my parents that I have an eating disorder?
Posted Tuesday March 23 2010, 10:38 pm
For about eight months now I've been not doing very well. I have been not eating very much at all and, when I do, I end up making myself throw it back up. I am pretty such I am anorexic. I've lost a lot of weight but I've been SO sick. My parents thought I was just on a diet because that's what I kept telling them over and over. I did very good at lying to them so I don't know what to do now because I'm seeing that I need help. My body is a wreck and I'm so unhappy with all of this. I want to be normal again. How do I tell my parents that I've been lying to them and that I'm really sick with this anorexia eating disorder?!

Is an electric toothbrush better than a regular manual toothbrush?
Posted Tuesday March 23 2010, 10:37 pm
I saw this ad on TV about a cheap electric toothbrush for $15 and I've been thinking about buying it. I heard that electric toothbrushes are better for your teeth for some reason but then my friend said that they aren't and that they will damage the teeth. I am confused and don't know what to think. I don't want to damage my teeth. Which is best for my teeth?

Why do guys go bald on their heads but can have beards?
Posted Tuesday March 23 2010, 10:36 pm
My boyfriend is going bald but he doesn't seem to have a problem growing facial hair on his chin. Why do guys seem to do that? My principal is REALLY bald but has a beard, too. Is that normal? Does their hair just stop growing on their heads and grow more on their face then?

Exercise
Posted Tuesday March 23 2010, 6:28 pm
My body has never known physical activity or healthy eating habits, until recently. I've lost 5 lbs in one week and I did it the healthy way, I ate and exercised. I think it's just because my body isn't used to this new lifestyle. Can anyone give me a good work out routine for the gym? We have an arm machine, elliptical, treadmill, weight machines, pretty much everything. I know that doing the same workout routine everyday causes muscle to form instead of burning fat, so if you could tell me two different routines to do that are about 1 and a half hrs long that'd be great. I'm aiming to lose 40lbs+ within the next 5-9 months. I'm 18F/219 lbs. THANKYOU!

When I take a shower should I use hot water? warm water? cold water?
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 11:14 pm
All of my life my mom had told me to take HOT showers to help get all of the dirt and germs off of me. I always try to take the hottest showers possible. Well, recently, I passed out (I sometimes do) in the shower and my boyfriend said it was because the water was way too hot to be in and that I should be taking warm-to-cool showers even. Who is right?

Why should I take vitamins?
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 11:13 pm
My Dad keeps trying to get me to take some vitamins he bought for mre recently. He says they will keep me healthy and give me the nutrients that I am missing in my diet. I don't think I need vitamins at all because I eat pretty good foods. I eat fruits and vegetables almost every day. Why do I still need to take vitamins?

I saw an article in the paper today that said something about there were dangers in eating or drinking High Frucstose Corn Syrup.

What are the best pads to use?
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 11:12 pm
I am wanting to know the best brand of menstrual pads I can use during my period. Price is no issue. I can't use tampons because my mom had cancer down there and so my doctor said I am high risk cancer and I shouldn't use tampons just in case. I don't have a problem with that anyway. I want to use the best pads though but I don't know what brand might be really good. Something comfortable and does what it needs to do (soak)! What is the pad brand?

Why are microwaves and microwaved foods bad/harmful?
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 11:10 pm
I have this friend that recently threw away her microwave after she read some book about it being really dangerous and harmful. I know that she has returned food at resturaunts with me when she found out they had been microwaved too. I don't want to sound stupid if I ask her what the dangers are but I am curious. I don't really have time to sit down and read a whole book about the harmful effects of using a microwave. Does anybody know why it's bad (brief me, as they say) or can point me to some quick information online (maybe even suggest a video)?

How to strengthen teeth naturally???
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 11:08 pm
I am getting older and finding my teeth feel a little loose now. I brush them every day but they don't feel like they use to when I was younger. I do not use an electric toothbrush. I haven't seen a dentist about this problem yet either. Is there a way to naturally strengthen my teeth though? Are there certain toothpastes or mouthwashes I should purchase so I don't lose my teeth?

I need to los the weight
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 5:50 pm
So for most of my life I've been fat. I just kept gaining weight. Fortunately, I've finally mastered the art of maintain my weight and at least not gaining any more. I'm 16, female, 5'3" and my weight on any given day is between 194-200lbs. I honestly wouldn't care much if I hadn't found out i'm prediabetic. I really don't want to get diabetes so I'm looking for some advice on how to eat better, exercise more, and just lose all this extra weight. I'm a busy person and I don't have a lot of time in my day so please keep that in mind but I'd like to los weight as fast as possible.
Also, I have some issues with motivating myself. Any advice on how I can make myself stick to a plan would also be appreciated.

Tips to tell someone who has just started their period?
Posted Monday March 22 2010, 1:38 am
My little sister has just started having her periods and I wanted to make a list of tips to give her to help her out. I don't live with her and she lives in a house full of guys (Dad & two older brothers) so it's pretty embarrassing and frustrating for her. The neighbor's have been trying to help her but they don't really take very good care of themselves so I'm afraid she's going to get lost with all of this.
What are some really good tips to tell somebody who has just started to have periods? What do you wish somebody would have told you? What have you learned throughout the years that you didn't know at first (but wish you had known or are glad you found out)?
