I cant go on dates with my boyfriend I can't go out in public unless I have my Mum with me I can't eat in public I can't be in big crowds of people without freaking out I can't attend concerts like other teens my age I can't go on holidays because i am scared to receive on a plane I can't receive on a bus or train I am afraid of not being able to receive home for some reason And when i do face my fears, i receive over them but not for good example- if i were afraid to receive on a bus, and i got on the bus, forced myself, within half an hour i cease worrying and relax feel really good about myself, 2 days later i go to receive on that bus and freak out again and again and again. It's a never ending spiral of anxiety. HOW ON EARTH CAN I BREAK THE CYCLE? I am sick of existing, i want to live.

Voting Question: How do i have the best Valentine's Day ever?
I want to have an AWESOME valentine's day with my significant other (im not gay. No offence to the gays). Every year its the SAME OLD, dinner and a movie, couples massage, or the adult stuff that happens at night that we pretend is more special because it's a holiday and there's Victoria's Secret involved, but in reality it's every THE SAME. I want to do something a little more EXTREME something that has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. Nothing too creepy though just something we can BOTH like. Something that can bring back that good old SPARK. Something we can turn into a TRADITION!!! Any SUGGESTIONS??

Resolved Question: What diagnoses do you think this is? It is a case study for my abnormal psychology class....?
Hi--I was wondering if someone had any idea what diagnoses this would be? It is not me, it is for an abnormal psychology class. I know it is a personality disorder, but I am pretty sure it is not Bordeline Persoanlity Disorder. Could someone please help? I am not sure what it would be! Thanks to every. Henry was a fifty-six-year-old machine operator who was referred to the employee assistant counselor. The supervisor noted that Henry’s performance at work had deteriorated during the past four months. Henry was frequently absent from work, had difficulty getting along with others and often had a strong odor of liquor on his breath after his lunch break. There were also rumors of Henry smoking pot. The supervisor knew Henry was a heavy drinker and suspected that Mark’s performance was affected by his chemical usage. Henry could not stay away from drinking. He consumed alcohol every day; during weekends and holidays he averaged about sixteen ounces of Scotch per day. Although he had been a heavy drinker for thirty years, his consumption had increased after his wife divorced him six months previously. He started smoking pot a year ago. His wife claimed she could no longer tolerate his drinking, pot smoking, extreme jealousy, and unwarranted suspicions concerning her marital fidelity. Coworkers avoided Henry because he was a icy, unemotional person who distrusted others. (HINT: PERSONALITY DISORDER) During interviews with the therapist, Mark revealed very little about himself. He blamed others for his drinking problems and pot usage: his coworkers for not doing their work and avoiding him, his wife for divorcing him, and others who he felt were out to receive him. He believed that he would drink less if the over problems from others had not happened. Henry appeared to overreact to any perceived criticisms of him. A medical examination revealed that Mark was developing cirrhosis of the liver as a result of his chronic and heavy drinking. Henry also has a reading disability which has affected which jobs he was able to hold and be successful at. 1) I don't know who Mark is---that is the way the document came 2) THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL! Of course you are not diagnosing this; it isn't real life, even if you have your M.D. degree, you can't diagnose over the internet.

Resolved Question: I really need some advice please :(?
Hey. I really need some advice. I don't want a diagnosis. But I need some help. I have always thought I had an anxiety disorder, but after more and more symptoms arising i'm not sure whether it's that or an eating disorder. Well, almost 3 years ago, after hating my body for years, feeling fat and disgusting for most of my childhood. I was on holiday with school, when I started to starve myself, yet the teachers found out and made me eat, monitored me eating. I wouldn't go in the pool because I was so afraid of people seeing my body. But in a workshop where it was silent, because of me not eating properly, my tummy rumbled really loudly, where the teacher made a hurtful comment in front of the class, making me feel fat, disgusting and worthless. From here I started avoiding silent situations and became quite anxious. This continued after I got back off holiday, where when I got back to school, I was becoming very anxious about my lessons and being in them whilst it was silent incase someone made a comment. Because of the fear of my stomach rumbling I began to control what I ate and drank. To start with it was quite minor, the things you thought would make your stomach rumble. This has no gone on for almost 3 years, i'm now in 2nd year college, still struggling. I live day in day out in a VERY strict routine. I only have a couple of safe foods/drinks. I couldn't list the food I don't eat anymore. It has been very frustrating because I can't eat/drink what I want, when I want. Almost a year ago, the thoughts of starving came back to me, where I began restricting my food, exercising more, I thought doing this would help me control my life more. After a few months i'd lost almost 40lbs. I felt fat, worthless, I became isolated, depressed. Since then I have lost every my friends, my social life, I stay home, go to college, starve, binge and purge food. (using laxatives or fasting/restricting). I have also been self harming for 4 months now, which sucks :/ I have gained 4lbs which is driving me insane, I can't bare gaining weight :( I also want to be really thin. So, if I am constantly controlling my food and drink because of the fear of my stomach rumbling which would make me feel fat and unpretty infront of other people, which has now made me lose a lot of weight, terrified to gain weight and the desire to be thin. Going to extremes not to gain weight and clip out more and more foods, would this actually be an eating disorder or still an anxiety disorder? Thank you.

Resolved Question: Pain in right side of stomach?
Woke up with extreme pain since 4am on the right side of my stomach and it traveled up to the right side of my chest. Not in my lower stomach so I dont think it's my appendix. I also felt short of breath and a little nautious. Took an Ibuprofen but I couldn't wait until it kicked in so I went to the hospital. They just did an xray of my chest and urine sample and blood tests. Everything came out fine but they gave me morphine while I was there so I felt good. I didn't think it would arrive back. The doctor sent me home and said to schedule an appointment with my doctor within 2 days. Doctor is closed for the holidays so I can't receive in until monday. The pain came back a little while ago and I took a vicodin the doctor prescribed. The pain is extremely painful and I just twist my torso trying to make it better but it doesn't help. Pressure on my stomach doesn't help either. Once the meds kick in though I feel fine. Has anyone had this experience before? Should I go to a different hospital if the pain comes back? I work tomorow and I can't afford to miss work. Thank you for reading.

Voting Question: Nightmares more like Fright-mares. Extreme Dream help needed.?
My dreams are not normal. Some of you might have seen my previous question which was not such a success about this. Im really wound up , confused , scared , stressed about this so please I need major help. Im 10years of age and quite easily freaked. This is every real. 1st Nightmare - It was the night I watched SAW 1. I had a freak-out dream about jigsaw and the jigsaw puppet after my best friends , relatives and pets. I kept seeing strangers and familar people gettting tortured. I found myself in a contraption with a saw. I had to kill everyone I loved to receive out alive. I woke up and saw a saw in my hand facing towards the dark hall where my best friends were standing and the jigsaw puppet sitting on my beanbag. I remeber shouting my dad and telling him but he told me I was dreaming and was to go back to snooze. I stayed up every night that night. Staring at my best friends with the saw in my hand. Then the jigsaw puppet moved and snatched my cat from her bed and help a saw to her neck. I screamed and shouted. I cant rember much more except the pain of when the contraption blew my head off when the sun came up. 2nd Nightmare - I have this nightmare quite often. It can change from the happiest of dreams to the dark eagle circling over me. But the scariest time was when the eagle actually grabbed me with its claws. Again I woke up and felt the peircing pain of the claws in my back. I had marks in my back the next day. I saw the eagle and heard its big wings flapping up over my head. I shouted my dad but again " Go back to snooze Tory , you're dreaming " I couldnt the pain hurt to much the eagle gripping onto me. But then the faintest of light poked through my window and the eagle disapperad and I flopped down onto my bed. The pain was still there as were the marks but I was petriefied. 3rd Nightmare - This is a recent dream. I was at my fav holiday destination where I met my teacher. Me and the barmaid were trying to talk to her but she got into the lift. We followed her. She went up a floor as did we and then went out. We followed her but she got back in the lift. I pressed the button but the lift only came down so you could just look the floor and nothing else. Then the barmaid pointed something out which I had not noticed. Cages. The lift came down a little revealing there faces but went back up again. every my loved ones plus unfamilars. We soon discovered they looked people up in the spare room of the lift everytime they discovered something new. It was strangers doing this , or it could have been the new employees. I woke up and saw my loved ones chained to my bedroom cabinet , bed , door windows everywhere. I screamed alot and then by sunlight they were gone. These are only my scariest dreams. There is nice ones aswell with doves and swans. Please can someone help. It will cease my discomfort. I have only watched SAW and AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. But this has been happening since I was 6!!!!!!!!!!!! And I watched SAW when I was nine!

Resolved Question: I have no best friend(stupid 20 characters)?
I am in year 9 at secondary school (for you Americans I took the liberty to Google what grade that is equivalent to: 8th grade) and I've just realised -nice of- that I've never ever in my life had a best pal. I haven't ever belonged to a particular group at school. OK, in England groups aren't as extreme as American ones (don't receive mad at me if every the American high school films are wrong, but from what I gather there are every of the groups such as jocks, nerds etc...) but there are tiny groups in the class, not named but just tiny groups, that everyone is in. Everyone in my class, and probably my whole school, belongs in a group. I feel really left out, not like suicidal or anything, but I would adore to belong in a group. I'm not as unpopular as I was in Primary school (everyone hated me there) and I nice of float around in the middle if you know what I mean. Before the holidays, I watched everyone open their christmas presents from their friends in their groups (I had nothing to do). It was really depressing. I had a few gifts from people that I had given presents to, basically out of politeness they felt pressured to give one back, but they were basically chocolate and things that don't take any thought. I never show my feelings to anyone, no one cares to be honest. I have a good sob in my room at night when no one can look me though. I try to be as friendly as possible and everything, I grin a lot and sympathise with people. But for most people, I'm not really considered a good pal. I haven't been to one party this year, I haven't been invited to any, there have been 20 or so parties and sleepovers (slumber parties) though. It's really awkward for me when we have to receive into groups or partner up with someone in P.E because I'm often left standing there and people reluctantly let me go in a three with them. I don't have a very good relationship with my parents, I don't rebel or anything but I just can't open up and talk to them about anything. My sister is probably the closest pal I'll ever have and she's leaving my home in February as she will be 16, and hates my family. So, what can I do to cheer myself and my life up? It's obvious I'll never have a best pal or anything and before you suggest going to a club or something, I can't. Thanks for reading my blabberings.

Resolved Question: Is it Unhealthy for a 14yr. old girl to have abs?
I'm fourteen, and I have abs (from working out not dancing or anything like that) and I was told that if you try to build muscle too young you can hurt your muscles. Is this true? BTW - I was actually told that if you try to build muscle on your arms you can hurt them. Is this true as well? (I'm not trying to build muscle on my arms I was just curious) I'm mainly concerned about abs. If you know anything about it please answer!! BTW - they are not like EXTREME abs they are just like a four pack, not extremely toned out either. Thanks in advance and glad HOLIDAYS to everyone!

Voting Question: How can I stop my anxiety attack? I'm freaking out!?
For the past year I have been having anxiety attacks, because everything is stressing me out these days - school, dancing, etc. I'll try not to go on about it, but I think it will help if I describe these anxiety attacks. I have dancing a few days every week. One of those days is Thursday. So during the day at school i'll be fine, but this bad feeling will always be at the back of my mind and it creeps ever closer as the day goes on. I have dancing STRAIGHT after school, so by the time it's last period, I start having an anxiety attack. There are two types. I may have either one. #1= Paralyzing stomach pain. *Extreme* dread. #2= Really really anxious and scared. Jumpy. Freaking out. Can not stay still at every. And I cannot cease talking. This always happens... I'm just so scared that we'll do something that I can't do (or am not good at) (at dancing). That is a huge fear for me. I also receive anxiety attacks about school if I have been away for long enough. Like I always have a minor attack after the 2 week holidays, but I am having a more major one right now because it is the end of the 6 week holidays. I have been away from school for 8 weeks however, as I got really really sick last year. It's Wednesday, 2PM and I have school on Friday. I am FREAKING OUT. I'm so jumpy. And I'm freaking out even more because I have dancing TOMORROW after a 6-week break. How can I cease my anxiety attack? Just breathing slowly does not work! Help! I cannot seek medical attention because I am 14 and my parents say to "just relax".

Resolved Question: How should a Christian dress?
The issue of clothing, decent Christian, has a wealthy and canonical literary tradition. Many of the holy fathers and teachers, who have written about how to look like a devout Christian, believed this, it would seem, a private matter, a matter of having a value of the whole Church. 81 According to Rule 6 of the universal Christian church excommunicated, if put on some clothes not as a general custom. Today it is a statement of principle, taken literally, can distort the idea of exactly what nice of clothes the Church considers a pious and acceptable. On the one hand, some adherents call modern Old Believers not only to worship, but also to work, store, etc. walk dressed in ozyamy, homespun coats, caftans, sundresses, etc. But much more common in the other extreme, when a "general custom" made fashionable designs. Therefore, we must carefully careful reading of the biblical words of the prophet: "Uboitesya on behalf of God, Zane, close the Lord's day. Yako Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and consecrate narechennyya ours. And on the day of sacrifice of the Lord, and avenged before the Prince and to the home of the king, and to every obolchenyh in apparel alien "(Zephaniah, ch. 1). What nice of clothes felt alien to the Orthodox Church Fathers? Saint Ephrem the Syrian (in word 82) teaches us not to dress in multicolored robe, and wearing modest clothes. Because we need only cover, but not heterogeneity. "Reason (smysl. - Authors.) DRC clothing veil be alone is one flesh" (Book of Nikon, abbot of the Black Mountains, word 37). Everyone should wear clothes befitting to him in rank and gender. Helmsman In the book, we find that Gangrsky Cathedral in 11 rule commands put out his wife if she donned male attire (even if it is done for the sake of abstinence), but does not preclude Christians to wear bright clothing. This should avoid the luxury not to tempt the faint-hearted brothers. Some for the sake of fashionable and luxurious clothes are high costs, and such exhorts St. Cyril of Alexandria, saying that, carried away by the colorful clothes, they are deprived of the divine attire. This also applies to those clergy (Book Nicon, abbot of the Black Mountains, the floor 37): If a bishop or deacon wears bright clothes, ornaments, we must correct him, if he does not hear - to bring the ban and eruption. Helmsman (l. 602 ob.) Contains the instruction to novopostavlennomu priest, which states: "Clothing wear long before glezna or from markings or utensils from the mundane", ie clothes to wear long, up to the ankles, without worldly medley and jewelry. Certainly prohibited wives dressed to open the shoulders, chest, etc. In the book of St. Demetrius, Metropolitan of the Serbian (Ch. 39), this custom has been validated as Latin, and therefore heretical. Old Believers are always serious about the traditional dress, especially the clip of prayer clothes. The temples can still be seen of men in coats and boots, below the caftan them wearing a shirt worn outside, belted with woven or braided belt with ornaments, embroidered prayer or memorial inscription. Women, especially in the choir, dressed in sundresses, and shawls, stabbed below the chin, with a shawl color may vary depending on the holiday (eg Easter at will wear red, and the Trinity - green). Old Believers, who for one reason or another do not have such a dress, wear clothing honestly, in no event shall not expose or shoulders, or hands. Custom slaughter handkerchief below her chin with a pin and distributed to every old-. However, in the south, particularly in the parishes nekrasovtsev, a handkerchief tied to a node that looks like a custom novoobryadcheskih congregation. Pondering this distinction, some staroobryadki interpret the custom to tie a handkerchief on the site, as a sign of Judah noose, a symbol hristootstupnichestva that has no basis in religious traditions, but is typical for national interpretation. In nebrachnyh bespopovskih agreement on how wearing a headscarf, it is possible to distinguish virgins. They wear a handkerchief so that it lies on its back edge, and the relax of his wife wearing headscarf "in the corner. Old Believers usually avoid wearing a tie. Despite the abundance of traditions, written instructions on the clothes in a little Old Believers. Perhaps only in the Red statute focuses on the appearance of his wife not only in the temple, but on the home prayer. It argues that ungodly wife bower of the cross, if it at home wearing only a shirt (except for three cases: when she goes to bed, or rises from snooze or wash in the bath). Failure to observe this supposed to severe punishment. Overly strict relation to the appearance of a Christian, to his clothes, even created a division in bespopovskom Philippov's consent, when, due to advances in clothing (wearing a cap with a leather visors, fashion hats, high collars have blacked boots and coats) are separated from the other fellows filippovtsy Orel .

Voting Question: Why can I only get down to certain weight when I'm sick?
My average weight is between 115 and 120 pounds (I'm 5'5 and have a tiny build). A few months ago I fell sick and it dropped down to 111. I had never weighed this little before, and I managed to maintain the weight with little exercise and dieting, even though I usually gain weight easily. Well, the holidays came along and I gained every the weight back. I could not lose it with extreme dieting or exercise. I just became sick again, and again I lost the weight. I look/feel SO much better at this weight, I feel so much lighter and energetic. Why is it that I can lose the weight through illness and maintain it with little effort, but if I gain it back it is IMPOSSIBLE to lose through diet and exercise?

Resolved Question: Bird needs socialized and has started plucking feathers...please read details.?
I know people have asked about bird plucking before, but I would still like some advice...Here goes... Our Green Cheek Conure at the place I work has recently started pulling the occasional feather. He only pulls one or two a day, but I know he has already pulled at least one blood feather. His pulling isn't extreme, but I'm worried it could become a habit...He has NEVER been a plucker until a little less than a week ago. This is also when my second quarter of school started, which leads me to my next question... Chico has been a brat since we got him. He used to fly at people and screech when they got in his cage as if he was going to attack them. He warmed up to me, and will now tolerate people, but he still has a few people he is not a big fan of. He is still much better now, but he is still not a huge people person. He behaves when I'm supervising, but I know he's a little bugger when I'm not. Anyways, I think the whole plucking thing has started up because I am working a lot less than I was over the holidays since school started. I don't think anyone else ever gets him out because he is not very friendly towards them...so now that I can't play with him as much, I think it is bothering him. =( So my question is, what can I do to receive him to warm up to other people? I always pass him off to other people when I can, but what about when I'm not there? Should I just beat people until they suck it up and interact with him more? I am torn because I'm not sure if I should interact with him less because he is so overly attached to me, or if that would only stress him more at this point... Help...? I know they need social interaction, but we can only have one conure at a time, so I can't receive him a cage mate. I tried a mirror a while ago, but it freaked him out. Trust me, he lets me know he wants attention. I'm not forcing him to interact with me. He comes up to the door of the cage and "chirrups" and drops food on my head and hops around (a trick I taught him) until I let him out. =)

Voting Question: How long needed to get in better shape for the Army?
Here's the ins and outs: I am leaving for BCT on February 9th, 2010 below an 11x option 40 contract. I am currently doing push ups periodically throughout the day and running frequently (every other day at a minimum). I'm also doing Aikido training ~4 days a week for 6 hours each session. I consider myself to be in fair shape - I'm a lean guy (5'9" 152 lbs) with a fairly athletic background (Lifeguarding, Rock Climbing Team, etc). Oh, and on a side note I am 18 years old and would have extreme difficulty attaining any nice of sports supplements at the moment due to my visiting family in the Philippines for the holidays. That being said... Concern A: My recruiter timed and counted out push ups for me on a practice Army Personal Fitness Test (basically, max reps using correct form in 2 minutes). I got mid-fifties somewhere, but these were at a quick cadence and were not every the way chest-to-floor. The research I've done has led me to believe that the Ranger Instructors I will encounter at Ranger School will insist on a slow cadence and a low drop for push ups to count, making the difficulty significantly greater. I've taken into consideration the time I have versus the goals (Let's say 60 push ups minimum below Ranger standards) and I'm worried that I will not be able to make the clip at Ranger School's initial push up requirement. In a nutshell: Is one month, Army Basic and Airborne training enough to take me from lets say 25 Ranger push ups to 60+? If this is not physiologically possible I will be forced to extend my time in the DEP (Delayed Entry Program), which will cause a bit of trouble for me. Concern B (much shorter): How long does it take for someone to receive into great (40 minute 5 miles over hilly terrain) running shape from a starting-to-run standpoint? The time frame is obviously the same as has been previously stated (Basic Combat Training, Airborne School, and 1 month personal physical training). Thanks a ton, and Merry Christmas!

Resolved Question: What Would You Do If You're Parents...?
I'm a 16 year old boy and go to boarding school and I've been on holidays at home for about a month and go back on Sunday night. My Dad is constantly in a bad mood. He gets mad so easily and shouts a lot. So as soon as he comes back from work he is driving me up the wall. My Mum was alright for the last couple of weeks but has been starting some extreme arguments since yesterday for no apparent reason. She always compares me to others and it really hurts. I respond quite badly because I just can't take it any more, I yell back. She always refers to how I got bullied because of my behaviour throughout the ages of about 5-13 (I was very badly behaved), so then I say that it was her fault for raising me like that (as I am now really popular because of boarding school) I have exams coming up and they are not glad even after I have studied for five hours. It just seems as there is nothing I can do to please them. Also, they send me to boarding school (and it costs a lot of money), they say they do it so I receive the best possible start, but my mum said today that she didn't want me at home. They constantly remind me that they pay money for my boarding school and that I better pass my exams. every this pressure is too much and I just feel like I want to kill myself. What would you do?

Resolved Question: I feel no emotion for a while, then extremes.?
I am tardy 20's, married with four kids and I work a full time job. Since mid to tardy last year I feel, unusual. I don't tend to feel any emotion the majority of time, then I will just suddenly have a mood swing, normally anger or guilt. It has arrive to a head for me recently when my wife and kids went on holiday. Normally when they are away, or I am away from them for more than a couple of days I feel home sick and miss them every heaps. This time nothing. I don't feel adore anymore, i don't feel glad or unhappy, excited about the future. I used to want to have sex with my wife every other day, now I don't want to be touched physically, especially not that way. she is a great looking lady who is often fending off blokes when we go out, not that we have done that for a few months, so its not like I find her hideous. I want to go out and do things with my family or mates, then when it comes time to go or when i receive there, i don't want to be there and i end up leaving straight away. I receive through my work day okay, I used to go running every day, now I feel fatigued a lot of the time and struggle to receive out anymore than 3 days a week. I feel lost, I have thought about hurting myself over the past couple of weeks, and the only reason i haven't is because of my kids, my 3 y/o son in particular, i want to look them grow up. I suffered depression about 5 years ago but worked through it and it seems completely different now. I feel my current state is hurting my wife and kids, and I don't want to hurt them. I receive really mad suddenly at silly things, then guilty that I am mad, then nothing again. That can every be in the space of an hour. I have nothing to be mad at, I have no reason to be unhappy. On the flip side I have every reason to be glad and exited about the future, but there's nothing. At the moment I am just going through the paces taking each day as it comes. I have mentioned how I feel to my wife and she wants to help me, but I don't know why I am like this, and i don't know what will make me feel better. Anyone?

Resolved Question: Is this easy enough so that just about anyone can understand it? .?
One has to be really aware and informed as to which healing route to take for depression bipoloar adhd and mental illness and that the druggs/meds treatment for these problems can be horrendous and you can go on for years with no improvement and have massive damaging detrimental side effects from meds/druggs Evaluate every of this info well –this info will keep you years of suffering ---years if you apply it .. 1.every treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so. That makes sense doesn’t it 2..it costs millions to test and approve just one treatment . 3.Drug companies Fund nearly every research and by virtue of this fact they need to recoup these millions and make a profit .they will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, --they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential or therapies where they cannot put a patent on it .And that has dire implications …..to you and your health . 4.— thus your doctor will not in the main recommend therapies which have not had millions of pounds developing them . And that has dire implications …..to you and your health . You cannot argue with these principles …..but there are very serious implications to your health and well being and the treatment being offered to you when you are sick . So serious is this problem that there is much loss of life because of it and suffering in the millions and for years –and we don’t think this is acceptable at every. This is a fundamental principle and unless you grasp this fully –you could /will have years of suffering ahead of you . This does not help you though when you are sick and suffering—not hearing about therapies which can help from a person you look up to and trust your doctor . These are just a few of the therapies which your doctor/ g.p. should be recommending for dealing with these problems. Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, Light therapy, Colour therapy , spiritual healing reiki, support. a holiday, edgar cayce violet ray, detoxing, karma therapy, decent nutrition , thyroid check, Getting to a place which personally adore or like, conducive work . Thinking good positive thoughts, laughter, looking at comedy, playing good uplifting music. Avoiding at every costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feeding upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air.. Positive affirmation . hugs getting plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs…earth energy therapy ,. Exercise like running walking climbing but something which you like Riding yourselves of every aspartame laden foods and drink and many additives receive back to a wholesome organicish diet . And you wont hear of any drug company patenting virtually any of these . What we need is funded research with an objective stance printing every their findings so that doctors can then recommend to you vastly superior therapies. Without side effects like these listed for some of the popular meds for the problems mentioned. sexual problems, drowsiness, snooze difficulties, and nausea. cause nausea, fatigue, weight gain, sleepiness, nervousness, dry mouth, and blurred vision.. If you cease abruptly, you may experience a number of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as crying spells, extreme restlessness, dizziness, fatigue, and aches and pains.

Resolved Question: Girl problems, suicidal thoughts, help me?
This is going to receive a little complicated but bear with me. A girl, we'll call her Mary, who is in my year/grade at school (we are both in year 12) was dating a guy, we'll call him Bob, at the end of 2008. He had to move away and their goodbye was anything but smooth. This triggered depression in Mary and it has been affecting her ever since. Mary told me she has loved me for three years (even when she was with Bob). I was fucking retarded and waited until last September to ask her out finally. We went out and were extremely glad together and were planning to receive married and be together forever. There were occasional arguments at the beginning but overall it was fantastic. Around about November we had a pretty big battle over pretty much nothing and she dumped me. We got back together a week later because our adore was still strong for each other. These stupid fights kept happening and each time they did, she would break up with me and take me back a few days later. This summer has been amazing, we had almost no fights and were both very glad. She went on holiday two weeks ago and on her way back stopped in to look Bob at his current home. They had dinner together and i gritted my teeth and sat by at home waiting until i could call her. She told me she would be back by 8:30, I called at 9:30 and she told me she was at a park with him. I was worried but she seemed to just avoid the subject. She told me once she was back that he had kissed her, and she let him because she thought it would fix her depression. It didn't, and now Bob thinks that he's taking her away from me. She then told me that she loves Bob more than me and was only ever with me because she was lonely. This enraged me to the extent of yelling at her, when i am normally really sweet and affectionate. I ended up dumping her in my rage and, only after i had done this, explained that she was lying about what she said because she wanted me to cease loving her so it would hurt less when she dies. That was on Wednesday, it is now Saturday early morning. We had planned on going out Saturday night to try to receive back together. We had phone sex tonight, but she seemed distant and as if she didn't care anymore. She said she was okay when i asked her so we finished up and she left, as she did so she sounded hurt and upset. i then received a message from her saying "I bailed on him and played piano instead :) xxx". I asked and found out that this message was meant to be sent to Bob. This enraged me once again and I flared up at her. She then told me, once i had yelled and abused her for a while, that she was talking about ditching someone else during a study lesson at school today. My heart feels torn in the extreme. I told her i was afraid of this happening again and that I would hurt her more and more. We have now once again separated. I feel like sitting in the car with a hose in the exhaust and the other end in the window. Any advice? I adore this girl deeply with every my heart and it is literally killing me to lose her.

Resolved Question: What's your opinion on the start of my story? Is it written alright?
It's a fantasy, and heres just a tiny part of the start........ \ tell me any or every of your thoughts. thanks. Hilary Finch wiped the sweat off her face and took a big swig from her now warm drink bottle. With a sigh she fell into a green plastic seat. It was hot, and the student’s at Beatrice Paxton’s Ladies College were suffering from the hottest autumn day on record. Even though the heat was extreme and autumn had only just begun, they wore long, grey skirts and white shirts, with socks that were more passable as stockings. The lavish school was one of the best in the city, so therefore uniform was strict. And although the privileged girls were saved from the unbearable heat, working in the spacious and air-conditioned classrooms, they still alerted their uniforms to receive any fresh air to their skin. Some students weren’t as lucky. Hilary’s hair and clothes were soaking with sweat. Outside on the grass yards, her and her classmates were enduring soccer practice, and the coach was not giving into their whines and complaints. Mistress Barlow, who preferred just to be called Coach, had wiry red hair, a plump body and piggy face; she was one not to be messed with. “Alright!” she screeched across the yard, throwing the soccer ball to the ground. “One more drill and you can go! You’re every pathetic and I don’t want to waste any more of my time. Line up!” Hilary groaned again and stood up. She was contemplating on not doing the last drill at every, but when she eyed the ball in the middle of the pitch, something seemed to awaken inside her. She lined up in the order Coach gave, next to her best pal, Greta Holiday, and waited for the whistle to blow. with another glance at the ball the whistle sounded and Hilary was bounding forwards. The soccer ball in the middle of the field was waiting for her and for her only. She glared around quickly at her opponents, her eyes darting from Greta to the relax of the team; they were only just leaving the line when Hilary shot past. Her long legs and lean body bounded forwards, leaving her long golden pony-tail to fly along in her wake. She was already halfway towards her pray when she listened out for the others behind her, ready to clip off anyone that was close, but they had stopped and she could hear their gasps for breath and amazed voices – still, she wasn’t going to cease. When Hilary reached the ball she bared her teeth once and pounced on it. Silence followed... “Whoa! Whoa! Girls, did you look that! Miss Finch here has finally listened! Now that’s the determination I want next sport lesson! But girl, You were meant to kick the ball.” Mistress Barlow was taken aback. Finally her students were beginning to take not of her pep talks and coaching… Hilary was sprawled out on the ground trying to catch her breath. Her chest was pumping difficult and the black and white soccer ball was clutched tight. The other class mates wandered slowly towards her, wiping sweat from their foreheads while some were heading straight to the change rooms. well...... thanks :) It starts off like a normal life. So iguess that was a compliment haha thanks :) It starts off like a normal life. So iguess that was a compliment haha If I want to write. I'll write.

Voting Question: How can I stop my anxiety attacks? Please help, i'm freaking out!?
For the past year I have been having anxiety attacks, because everything is stressing me out these days - school, dancing, etc. I'll try not to go on about it, but I think it will help if I describe these anxiety attacks. I have dancing a few days every week. One of those days is Thursday. So during the day at school i'll be fine, but this bad feeling will always be at the back of my mind and it creeps ever closer as the day goes on. I have dancing STRAIGHT after school, so by the time it's last period, I start having an anxiety attack. There are two types. I may have either one. #1= Paralyzing stomach pain. *Extreme* dread. #2= Really really anxious and scared. Jumpy. Freaking out. Can not stay still at every. And I cannot cease talking. This always happens... I'm just so scared that we'll do something that I can't do (or am not good at) (at dancing). That is a huge fear for me. I also receive anxiety attacks about school if I have been away for long enough. Like I always have a minor attack after the 2 week holidays, but I am having a more major one right now because it is the end of the 6 week holidays. I have been away from school for 8 weeks however, as I got really really sick last year. It's Wednesday, 2PM and I have school on Friday. I am FREAKING OUT. I'm so jumpy. And I'm freaking out even more because I have dancing TOMORROW after a 6-week break. How can I cease my anxiety attack? Just breathing slowly does not work! Help! It feels like my airways are closing up, but I keep breathing faster. Sometimes my anxiety attacks receive so bad that I receive physically sick (which is what happened last year, because I was anxious about my recital).

Voting Question: Extreme sensitivity to sunlight?
i have a pal, and she has a really big problem with being in the sun. Whenever she goes out in bright daylight, she says she gets headaches and gets really dizzy and it just makes her skin crawl. She cant handle it. It even got to the point where she forced herself to become nocturnal when she was on holiday, so she wouldnt have to deal with the sun coming through her windows. Its really starting to worry me. Whats wrong with her? im sure its not in her head, because she is really upset by it and wants so badly to like being in the sun, but she cant. Plus ive known her for a while, and shes not the type to fake something

Resolved Question: Lost all my confidence to move out?
I'm not prone to public outcries, but I guess I could really use some help. I'm really struggling with summoning the confidence to move out of my parents home. I've been waiting years for the opportunity for my Fiance and I to receive our first place together, and now that the apartment (and Him) are waiting for me, I've entered this weird state of inaction. He's been waiting a little over a month for me now, and I just keep making excuses on how and when I'll arrive. For weeks, I worried about my parents' reaction, and felt extreme guilt and responsibility for my mom's eventual displeasure (even going so far as worrying about her dying based upon my move). Her identity is BEING a mom, a very Old-World Italian one at that, and it just doesn't compute to her how someone who loves their family could move elsewhere (nevermind 2,500mi. away). She is a grade A guilt-tripper, and she knows just how to make me feel terribly guilty for wanting independence and the joys of adulthood and a wonderful, healthy life with the family that I am starting. But as legitimate as my concerns were/are about my family, I realize that it's only secondary to my real concerns. The truth is...I guess I'm really just terrified of what this move really means. It means so much more to me than just a place, or just living with my Fiance -- it means us really starting our life together, and so much new responsibility for me. The thought of me not seizing this opportunity is unthinkable to me -- it is what I truly want in my heart. I will go to him, and I am sure that I will feel so much better once I'm there. We managed a month together there once, and we were very successful (December). I would've still been there, if not for coming back here for the holidays. I don't know why I'm so worried now... I guess I've just spent weeks festering alone in my room, and I'm just being consumed by this complete lack of self-confidence. I am so afraid of going out into the world, and failing. I am so afraid that he'll suddenly become disillusioned to me, and find out that I really have nothing to offer him but adore (which despite the fairytales, just isn't enough for an adult, functional relationship). I'm afraid that I'll be unable to help run a household, to keep my job, and every of that. I'm afraid that I'm inept, that I can't do it, and I wonder what will happen to me. And on top of this, I have zero support or encouragement from my parents about my move. They adore me, of course, but they don't look how badly I need their positive thinking right now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need to help myself find my confidence again, and the strength to go back where I so belong. This partial life I'm leading now, without my future Husband and without the home we're making for ourselves, is so bleak. There is no personal growth taking place where I am now. I am growing backwards, after every of the confidence I gained in December.

Resolved Question: Does this seem fair? Are there any laws about this?
Im 18, in college full time doing a national diploma. I work Part-Time at a store, doing 19 hours a week. One of the girls is going on holiday between the 19th Jan and 27th... The hours they have asked me to cover will mean i'll be working straight for 20 days, without a single day off. And i cant take breaks in my shift either as we work alone (there is only ever one member of staff in the store at a time, company policy). That seems a little extreme. They're putting me below such pressure, that now ive said no, the manager is every shitty with me, so i feel i have to do it or i'll receive fired. Can they flame me? Is there a law about how many days you can work straight? Does this seem fair to you? Please help! Im in the UK :)

Resolved Question: Need a clever name for St. Patty's party!?
My roomies and I have a party for pretty much every major Holiday, and we have a habit of giving them rhyming names for the invites. (ex. pre-Halloween Beer Bash Extreme, pre-Valentine let your sexy s*** shine) We plan to have a St. Patrick's Day party (most likely it will be ON St. Patty's Day, since it falls during Spring Break) any ideas for names?

Voting Question: Please answer this question!!! Guyz....need serious help with my love life!!!?
I am 15 and well, that guy is one year senior. He's squint eyed.....so once....I unknowingly made fun of him...i repeat unknowingly....and well, from that day on, I notice him and vice versa!! I have interracted with him on fb quite some times but never in school! I really like his personality and stuff. I am totally mad about him!!!! I am good at sketching and so, I made a sketch of him and I was showing it to my friends. They circulated the sketch and as a result, the whole school got to know of it! I am definitely not a shy nice of person! When he asked me on fb if I liked him, I said yes! Then he was like ,"So, what next!?".....I ended up saying that we'll talk in school. Being the stupid stupid coward that I am, I didn't talk to him. Now, I like him more than ever and he comes to school after a few moths as their holidays are going on! What should I do?? I want to be with him! And I want some serious advice! Can someone tell me how to converse with him. He's the nice of guy who's extremely intellectual and smart. The usual flirting and acting dumb won't work here as far as I know! He's not on the average level. He really very very qualitatively attritioned...but that has its possess credentials!!!! Btw....just to let you know....I am not bad looking....I am kk....and well....I'm not fat or short....or anything of that sort!! I kinda belong to the popular group!.... Help....and well....I am from India....so, can't go extreme with the flirtin'! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Thanks for your help and time guys!!!

Resolved Question: am i developing an eating disorder!?
well just recently i feel really sick when i eat too much...like a few months ago, i got really sick after practially having been eating the whole day and then at night(i didn't make myself toss up on purpose it just happened) i ran to the bathroom and vomited...then two months ago it happened again, and that time i did make myself toss up because i knew that last time my possess body had rejected the food and so i figured that if vomiting made my body feel better i should do it(only did it once that month).this month after the holidays i ate a lot, but didn't vomit, but i felt bad that i had eaten so much and so i decided to eat less, but i just couldn't do it. i did it for about two days and the third day i ate a lot again but didn't vomit. then last week again i ate a lot one day and that time i made myself vomit on purpose because i felt that i had eaten too much that day. Then saturday my pal invited me to her home and we ate cookies and soda and when i got home my head was hurting as i am not used to eating so much sugar and so i vomited on purpose agian because i felt that i didn't need every that junk food in my stomach. then today i ate two bananas for breakfast and then had a big lunch that had a lot of grease and then like 1 hr later i ate like 5 cookies and a glass of milk and so my head was hurting again and so i went to the bathroom and well i did it again. and right now my mom made fries and i've already had two servings and now feel like i shouldn't have eaten it..but i don't want to vomit again because i feel that it's too extreme, but it makes me feel better....what can i do to cease this, and it really doesn't help that my mom keeps comparing me to my thinner cousins and keeps saying that when she was my age she was thinner than me....i really don't want this to receive out of control so i need to cease now, my side hurts every time i vomit. i've only vomited like 3 times this month, but i don't want that number to go up i'm 18, almost 19, girl..thanks! i am 5'1 and idk really know how much i weigh, somewhere between 110-120

Resolved Question: Going on a holiday in the UK?
I really want to go overseas, I talked my partner into going to the US, but really I want to go to the UK, have for a very, very long time. If I put up most of the $, I know he'd arrive. We live in Australia, so wondering how much it would cost to fly over, then stay in london for about a week, then Scotland a few days, then go to Ireland, where I have a pal I can stay with for free for about 4 days to a week. every up stay for 2-3 weeks, plus accomodation, food, flights, travel, rec. money etc. Anyone who has had a similar holiday, or lives in the UK I would adore to hear your comments!! Even without the flight cost, also I'd like it to be mid-yearish, I know it's peak tourist season, but I couldn't handle the extreme icy!! Thanks so much anyone who has any info, really appreciate it!! Thanks ;-)

Resolved Question: I'll tell you what happened. Give me some advice please?
WARNING: long and detailed A pal at work and I were both off on Valentine's Day so she asked if I wanted to hang out and we did. We went to her pal's home where we met up with more people. Total = 8. 4 guys 4 girls. The only person I knew was my pal so I just played the shy girl and followed them around. The guys decided to go the the hotel down the road (a big holiday inn) and screw around with the people and staff. Well, we got split up and me and my pal got something to eat and the other girls left before the guys came back for us. Then things got a little wierd. This one guy we'll call B starts chatting me up, asking if I knew his girlfriend, since we went to the same school (I later found out I knew exactly who she was). I said prob. but not by her name. He said he was pretty sure I knew her because I looked 'familiar'. Then he gave me and my pal a group hug and just started to generally flirt. I was okay with it because I was getting to know someone besides my pal, finally. Then the guys started playing extreme tag/hide-and-seek in the hotel. Two guys hid and the relax of us looked for them. After we found them and were heading back out he pinched my butt! No one saw it; only he and I knew what had happened and I didn't do anything except keep walking and he went ahead with the other guys. I was totally taken aback but I've had my bottom touched before so it's not like I'd lost my innocence lol. And he had been slapping my friends behind, too, so I thought nothing of it. Anyway, later I mentioned I was icy because we've had non-cease snow and every I had was a t-shirt and hoodie on. So he grabbed me and put his arms around me, rubbing my back, even burying his face right into my neck! I was really grateful but just a little uncomfortable because in the back of my mind I knew he had a girlfriend and I knew he wasn't just being 'helpful' because of the earlier incident. And earlier that day before he started flirting with me he asked me not to say anything to his gf if I knew her because she didn't know he was out today, or something (it's a little fuzzy), and they have trust issues (him telling a stranger [me] every this was a little wierd, too). I was thinking "No wonder there's trust issues." after that. There's more. When the sun started going down and the degree dropping around 5-6ish me and my pal needed to head back to the main highway to catch our ride. While we were leaving he said "What, no goodbye hug?" Ok, I'm a really friendly person and will give a stranger a hug if they seem nice, so even though this guy was totally border-line cheating on his gf, I decided I would give him a hug. Well, it turned into a VERY intimate hug. He grabbed my butt and gave it a few good squeezes and every like we'd been dating for years! But I am a girl, who happens to be single and has been for a while, so every this attention was very flattering and I didn't say no, when I could have. He's also quite good looking. So, for me it was the best V-Day I've ever had, despite being single for every one of them. BUT I'm having some internal struggles. He has a girlfriend complete with trust issues and every and he's feeling me up every day! It turned me on and out but I know it's wrong. And that night I found out who his gf is and she sits right behind me at lunch. She seems like a very decent person but the next time I look her it's every I'll think about because I know what happened! And he was almost 99.9% sure I knew her but he did everything except push his tongue down my throut so I'm pretty sure he wouldn't care if she found out. And even if in the future they weren't together anymore and I had a shot, I would know he's a player and could do to me what he did to her with me. I don't know how to feel. Should I tell her? I'm thinking I should just forget about it and savor the memory of the day for myself (even though that sounds really desperate of me, but you can't blame me for liking the boost in confidence or flattery). Do you think he would do it again if we ever saw each other again? [not likely] I would adore any advice on how to handle it. Guys: Was he just taking the opportunity to cop a feel? Was he actually interested in me or just my assetts?

Resolved Question: 290 pounds - can I fit into a plane seat?
ok so this may take a little explaining (or alot) i did my research and i found out that the average airplane seat is approx 17 inch wide. i am seriously overweight girl. i weigh 290 pounds. i have a tape measure and measured 17 inches, then i sat down and worked out how much wider was. i am around 3-4 inches wider than 17 inches so obviously i would be too big to fit into one of those seats. my mom wanted a break and if i'm honest so do i, so this holiday is pretty important to us. do you think by dieting and exercise (in 2 weeks) i can lose weight and be ok to fit into the seat? i know it would have to be extreme but is it possible? i cannot afford to pay first class or to pay for extra ticket. PLEASE help. it's so embarrassing and hurts my feelings very much.

Resolved Question: Can't stop sweating, its really serious, please help!?
Alright I'm a 14 year old guy, I am perfectly fit and healthy, I've got no health issues whatsoever. Ever since around half-way through last year, (when I was 13) it started happening. By the end of last year it was pretty bad but I thought it might have been because I was unfit or something. Over the 6 week holidays I excercised extremely difficult, and nothing has changed. The first day back this year I sweated heaps more then last year. So obviously I figured it was something worse, and I looked it up and now I'm quite sure I have hyperhydrosis. Hyperhydrosis is excess sweating of palms, underarms and feet, and it begins in adolescence (usually). I'm 100% sure I have this. My palms sweat when I'm writing, my palms sweat when I'm using a mouse on the computer. My underarms sweat to the extreme, and my feet obviously do because my socks stink like crap :D So I told mum and we had an argument over it, because she thought it could have been nervousness. But as I said, I sweat when I'm just writing in a classroom. So she said she would take me to a docter if she wanted to, since I showed her what hyperhydrosis is and it matched my symptoms clearly. My questions are: what would a docter do to find out if I have it? What would a docter give me? Do I need to pass medical exams like blood tests? I'm hoping that the docter doesn't do any thing serious. Thanks for answering!

Resolved Question: I'm 15 & having anxiety attacks? Please help me?
For the past year I have been having anxiety attacks, because everything is stressing me out these days - school, dancing, etc. I'll try not to go on about it, but I think it will help if I describe these anxiety attacks. I have dancing a few days every week. One of those days is Thursday. So during the day at school i'll be fine, but this bad feeling will always be at the back of my mind and it creeps ever closer as the day goes on. I have dancing STRAIGHT after school, so by the time it's last period, I start having an anxiety attack. There are two types. I may have either one. #1= Paralyzing stomach pain. *Extreme* dread. #2= Really really anxious and scared. Jumpy. Freaking out. Can not stay still at every. And I cannot cease talking. This always happens... I'm just so scared that we'll do something that I can't do (or am not good at) (at dancing). That is a huge fear for me. I also receive anxiety attacks about school if I have been away for long enough. Like I always have a minor attack after the 2 week holidays, but I am having a more major one right now because it is the end of the 6 week holidays. I have been away from school for 8 weeks however, as I got really really sick last year. It's Wednesday, 2PM and I have school on Friday. I am FREAKING OUT. I'm so jumpy. And I'm freaking out even more because I have dancing TOMORROW after a 6-week break. How can I cease my anxiety attack? Just breathing slowly does not work! Help! Sometimes it gets so bad that I receive physically sick (which is what happened at the end of last year). I can't look anyone because I can't afford that sort of thing and my parents think i just need to relax..

Voting Question: Gaming addiction - serious. How to resolve, please help?
Hi every, Are you ever in that situation where a close pal is having a problem, you offer advice but that's not enough? Well it's arrive to that - I will be as brief as possible but I'm hoping for some input from anyone who can suggest a solution. I have offered my advice and I'm not repeating it here because I'm keen to know what everyone else thinks. I have a very good pal who's currently going through a divorce, is also in need of surgery that has a high risk of paralasis or death - and to top it every, her son is severely addicted to World of Warcraft. Gaming Addict background: Parents had problems and messy divorce proceedings commenced in 2007 (still on going), dad was 'mental' bully. Addict was physically active in mid-teens, in tardy teens had stable relationship and job, became a 'light' World of Warcraft player (early twenties), was made redundent (with payout equal to 4 months pay), spent big amount of payout taking partner on expensive holiday, she left him possibly because of addiction to WoW (World of Warcraft) and/or because of lack of motivation to seek employment. The addict makes payments directly to the broadband providers, mom pays phone bill. There are others living in the home that work from home and so phone line cannot be disconnected as they need the internet connection. Gaming addict current daily movements: starts gaming at 2pm, finishes at approx 2am. never goes out, does not have a regular intake of fluid or food. Does not look real physical friends or socialise, ignores the few friends he has when gaming. Makes minimal contact with mom. Mother tells him that he needs to receive a job and receive out the home - he becomes mad or says he will and then doesn't. mom's attempts to resolve: She is supportive based on the advice of the doctor prescribing anti-depressents and tries to maintain communication, but normally transfers to giving instructions to addict. mom also offers him dinner and cooks for him most days of the week because she is concerned for his health. mom prompts addict to do basic household tasks, such as taking the bin out or mowing the lawn, son says yes but does not do tasks. mom has successfully got him to a job centre when he's not 'raiding' and he is now on benefit to the best of my knowledge. Overall: This is an extreme situation, as much as the mom tries to do what's right and 'motherly', the addict is still playing every day and does nothing else. His one close pal (who also lives in the same home), emails the addict during the day and he ignores his emails. When asked why he didn't respond to his emails, he said that he was either 'on a mission' or 'couldn't be bothered. Any advice welcome, as are any questions. I'm asking this on behalf of my pal because she has enough to deal with as it is. Be assured that right now if the addict fell over and died, it would not bother me in the slightest - my primary concern is the mom/my pal. It is her that is being torn apart with the usual questions of "am I being a bad parent", "what am I doing wrong", "I can't be cruel to be nice", etc.

Resolved Question: What do you think so far?
I have started to write another story due to the fact it has been stuck in my head for ages. What do you think? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My sister Chloe was the best sister ever. I mean it. She always managed to stay glad and help out our mum, even if we didn’t arrive from the most stable of backgrounds. Let me put it this way, our real dad cleared off when I was a baby, about three or so months old. Then our mum married Alex, a controlling ultra-religious person who took ‘the Word of our Holy dad’ very literally. I respect people’s beliefs and stuff, but taking it to this extreme was just wrong especially when he always hit mum and Chloe once as well. She was fourteen when my story starts. I guess at school she’d be one of the popular ones if she didn’t spend her time with me. It was the Christmas holidays and we could hear Alex shouting at mum. He started tearing down the decorations Chloe had bought and set up, yelling about how we didn’t deserve to have a Christmas because, in his possess words, “Anna (our mum) was a rubbish wife, Chloe refused to obey him and me, well I was always following my thick older sister, which would most probably land me in jail.” We let him slope off to the Church, and Chloe went downstairs and hugged mum, who was now sporting a fresh clip. Chloe looked at me and I went into the kitchen to receive the first aid kit. I sat and watched as Chloe gently wiped the clip down with anti-septic, and sprayed some of that invisible plaster stuff on. “hear, we don’t care what Alex says. He’ll most probably spend Christmas in Church, and I still have some money left over from my birthday. That should be enough to cover some food, paper plates and napkins. I can also receive some leftover money for a few surprises. Kathy, you’re going to make some crackers, okay? Just skip the gunpowder please.” I smiled and nodded. Alex was right, I always followed what Chloe said, though she was definitely not thick.
