I expect it's heat rash. I'm afraid I get it there too - it never completely goes away, even though I'm careful not to roughen it/overheat it as somegirl1122 describes above. It certainly doesn't sound like cancer at all. It might just be an allergic r...
Walking in a forest park or whatever's available in your area - take a picnic, go with friends or the dog, take your bikes, whatever... Bowling, go-karting or other group sports. The library - try to find a new author you can get into (I like cri...
Does your healthy diet include enough slow-release energy foods? We tend to avoid them because they can make us fatter, but if you exercise you need them - not the quick-burn stuff like sugar, but the slow relasing stuff like brown bread, brown rice, p...
Yes, I like it when it says 8:08. I guess we just notice it when it forms a pattern that appeals to us.
You could ask: What things about being Jewish make you proud? How does being Jewish makes you different to your friends? How is it different from when your parents were your age? How does a Jewish teenager today feel about the Holocaust? What do you th...
I agree with you that there are times when laws are immoral. I would say that the basic premise should be to follow the laws of your country at all points except for the rare occasions when they are immoral. That might mean that we accept illogical or ...
I like ty's answer. Prayer is talking to God, in the Christian tradition. A good friend of mine used to use her daily cycle-ride to work as a time for prayer. She was a busy mother and that was her moment of free space in the morning. Another guy to...
Rebecca.
The government of any country SHOULD be, and in properly democratic countires actually IS responsible for the welfare of its citizens, and should also look to the welfare of the wider world in terms of poverty relief, fair or unfair international polic...
I agree. Making vegetable-based meals, when the veg has been grown locally, is cheap and yummy! I make quick and easy stews (based on tinned tomatoes, I have to admit) and then just throw in whatever fresh veg I find cheap in the shops or have growing ...
I was one of Thatcher's Children! She was voted in as Prime Minister of the UK on my 9th birthday, the day before I flew back from the US to spend the rest of my childhood and teens in my native UK. I certainly admired her as a child. My parents respec...
You can use them anywhere in the Eurozone. They don't expire (lol). The Eurozone is France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, Greece, Malta, Luxembourg, Portugal and Slovenia. That does leave 12 other countries ...
Live the dream, yes... Let other people live the dream too, please! That includes caring enough about them, and the future of the world, to recycle, but also to reduce and reuse too. Don't know what they mean? Try this funadvice question to find out mo...
As other Christians are making it clear, the idea of 'Original Sin' being born into each child is not a recognisable Biblical doctrine. It's been a big thing in the Catholic church for a long time, but I do hope that even there it's beginning to fade o...
Well, amblessed and I looked at this from my British Christian perspective a bit, by funmail. Firstly, the British press, in agreement with my own experience of British cities, points out that this was an area with a large Muslim population, not a 'Mus...
It was a bit of a land-mark year in many ways! I found this website but there are plenty of others: http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/1967/
Yes to all the above but I hate panty liners! They waste your money and spoil the environment! Wash every day, change your panties every day, accept a bit of discharge... Don't be ashamed of being a woman.
I agree with Nerd (as usual). You don't spend the whole of your life falling in love with the same person. But you can love, and be in love with, that person all your life. I think you are noticing that the 'falling in love' period is ending, but it do...
Yes, I know the feeling and it's got a proper scientific name - it's a known phenomenon which is not particularly worrying. I hope someone else can tell you the name, but all I can say is not to worry about it too much - it's a nasty feeling but not a ...
You can buy the remedy from a pharmacist in the UK, so I guess you can in the US too. Home remedies can be a help but don't usually clear the infection completely, in my experience. Eating or even smearing on natural youghurt (with the 'friendly bacter...
Some friends left the UK for the US and another friend made them a jokey reminder of all the foods they would miss in the US! It was a glass case with the sign 'break glass in emergency' on it, and it contained classic British foods (BIrd's custard pow...
Call one of her friends, someone you know well. Explain the situation and ask her for help. She will understand your concern, and will have an adult's view of what may have happened/what should be done. In the meanwhile, I'll pray for you and your m...
It does depend. Someone could be caring and gentle to all. That would make them 'friendly' and even a friend to everyone at some level. I have met some people who are that caring and kind. However, if by 'friend' you mean someone who knows you truly...
If you were 13 or 14, or even a bit older, I think you'd more or less have to put with it. But at 20 you could be living in a different state, in a different country, or at least in your own home. So I think you do need to negotiate a bit more freedom....
In Britian we have male toilet attendants/cleaners sometimes in the Ladies'. I an used to having them around occasionally and don't find them a problem. There are individual stalls, after all. They do hang a sign saying: 'Male cleaner in attendance' on...
The examples given of 'Christian' atrocities and 'Muslim' atrocities are all horrific. People who take those religious labels have used them over many centuries to promote tribalism and a delight in violence. I hope that some peaceful Muslims here c...
I think so too. My kids don't need bananas so much that I'm prepared to let other kids have cleft lips to provide them.
Well, of course my boys came into the Ladies' toilets with me when they were little. When they got older (about 8) they didn't want to go into the Ladies' and I didn't think that other women would want them in there, either. So I sent them, usually tog...
Well, even though I like all the positive answers, I have a negative thought to add: The pesticides which are used to keep the bananas safe on plantations are badly misused (meaning that they are put on far too strong). This poisons the plantation w...
A cat, a soaring bird of prey (for the soaring, not for the meat) and ... umm... I've only evenr thought about those two.
It's pretty normal for girls at about your age to go throught the b*tchiest stage of their lives - I remember it very well myself and the only good thing I can say is that it doesn't last much longer. By the late teens I guess hormones are settling dow...
Well, in that case I think that he's taken appropriate action. I've been in a situation myself where I was able to love and appreciate the people of a church, and the work God is doing through them, whilst not being able to retain membership myself due...
Hello there, this is an interesting question. If I can take the liberty of answering some of the questions you asked the others, I hope I'll be forgiven. Please give your own, more detailed answers, too! Darwin came from a background of traditional ...
I don't think they can go in unless the government of the country 'invites' them, or at least accepts their presence, can they? I think that it would be a good thing for the people of Burma, but impossible in political terms. BTW, it's Anug San Si C...
Some of my schoolfriends in the '80s were Goths. In the '90s I had a friend living in Whitby, a place of 'pilgrimage' if you like, because of the Bram Stoker connections. My understanding of the Gothic subculture, therefore, is more what I have seen, a...
You can't stay friends with someone just because you feel sorry that everyone is prejudiced against him! You have a real reason to mistrust him. Don't spread rumours about what he's done, but I'd say avoid him in the future. It's nothing to do with his...
They'lll probably keep asking you to 'Say something' so that they can listen to your accent. Be prepared with some good, charming Irish lines!
Tell your mum you're scared and you need her. Not many mums can resist the truth like that...
Well, my 'WWJD' conclusions (so far) have not made me an out-and-out pacifist. All of your examples, filletofspam, are true and essential to Christian living. Ghandi was a wonderful example of a man who took those words at face value and showed their p...
I don't think your true feelings come through. I get a bit paranoid if I don't watch out. There is no real reason for me to mistrust people and fear for those I love, but with PMS that can happen to me. PMS doesn't reflect my true feelings at all (than...
Yes: Either + or Neither + nor.
Oh, and cats aren't like dogs. Tapping and slapping don't really make any difference. Pulling the item away might just work, but I suggest giving an alternative, as I said above.
It's Latin! Latin saying are often very worthy and serious. It seems to be something about crying out to obtain the justice you desire. That took a combination of my rubbish Latin plus an equally bad online translator. I hope someone with a better idea...
Men wore a sleeveless tunic over a longer-sleeved top, with tight leggings and soft boots. Women often wore a longer, fitted sleeveless dress over the longer-sleeved top, which sometimes had flared wrists or puffed sleeves. Rich people wore colo...
My sister's cat did this - she was taken away from her mother (the cat, not the sister) too young. It was just one of those things. We gave her one item of clothing which she was allowed to suckle (an old dressing gown my sister had grown out of) and n...
I've been fascinated following this discussion, which at first I thought was not too relevant to me. But the discussion between filletofspam and amblessed, both of whom I respect very much, has just triggered an old anecdote in my mind. It doesn't answ...
Mjax1979's comments are, as usual, bang on the nail. While Hitler would use Christian-type comments if it helped him gain power, his personal beliefs seem to have been quite different. What scares me is that many Christians were taken in then, and c...
We can interpret all sorts of things to suit our world view (I should know, I'm a Christian - lol). So I think the drawings may well be something that we interpret as aliens but which meant something different to the Ancient Egyptians.
My mother and grandmother brought me up to know the Bible and go to church. Having given me that kind of education, they left my choice of religion up to me. I think that in some ways they might have been surprised when I chose to give my life to Jesus!
Yeast infections itch, inside and out. Believe me, you really know about it when you have one!
