So far so good, it worked again today.
Nice. I pretty much do my hair the same way every day, and it seems to come out different every time.:confused: Sometimes it looks great, other times, not so much.Quote:

My hair hates me. It always does what it wants. Its like a separate entity that just happens to be living on top of my head *hums x-file theme* :alien:
I love reading about you young ladies' concern about your hair. When you get to be my age, your just glad you have hair and can afford color!! I read somewhere a few years ago that a "bad hair day" is a physical thing and that everyone has them due to climate and hormones. So once you no longer have hormones, you just don't worry about it so much. You buy lots of ponytail holders and worry about big stuff...like if your butt is big or you boobs will stay above your waist.
Hey guys!! :D:D:D
I'm just dropping by to see how's everyone doing?!
I'm pretty busy with my courses these days, I'm not online much, but I wanted to see how's life with all of you?!
Hope everything is good :D
Well, I say live for the day. My coworker is balding but I'm not going to worry about my potential balding until I get closer to that age. And about the boobs, well maybe one day I can afford an augmentation. Or maybe I'll get breast cancer and then it won't be a concern.Quote:

No matter what age we are, we all have our own silly little mini-tragedies, whether it's hair you can't manage or being the pilgrim instead of the indian in the thanksgiving parade (that was my personal kindergarton tragedy - and then to top it all off, I was an alligator in the Christmas play in the first grade!!!) So if we're going to talk hair and hair remedies, let's talk about them. We can worry about not having hair some other time.Quote:

But I do digress. I apologize if I offended anyone.
Not offended!! You're explanation is more than sufficient. In fact, they sound like words to live by!
Sorry bout you're not being an indian. I'm sure you'll get there someday!!:D
I had a similar and yet much less lofty situation. My best friend and I were huge fans of The Sonny and Cher show. We were young, early elementary and we loved pretending we were them. I always wanted to be Cher because I thought she was so beautiful but like you, I am whiter than white but my best friend is Native American and had that long black hair so I had no legs to stand on in the argument that I should be Cher. I pleaded my case by pointing out I was the taller of us so therefore, I should be Cher but that long black hair trumped height every time so I always had to be Sonny...but I was always Cher at heart. :p ;)Quote:

I like to think of mine as controlled chaos - there's only so much I can do then my hair does what it wants.Quote:

erm... im in a perdicament...
i cant hink of a better place to ask but...
ive missed my period, twice. im extreamly regular like 2-7th
ive been sick like everymorning
horrible cramps in my lower stomach...
i think i may be pregnet...
but i dont want to get a test because then my parents would know, and all and im not even sure who the father would be, i mean i passed out at a party and now here i am...please help me
christ steph. You really should get a test done.
i know im just scared. i was raised in a big wait until marriage home...and well my bf probably wont understand because he forbid me from partys and i went to that one anyways...i dont know. *sigh* can anyone tell me like the probability
We cant really give you a definite answer Steph. You really have to go see a doctor. Even try see one that doesnt know you or go to a womens clinic (do you have them in the states?) they'll run tests and give you advice. But if it turns out you arent, be careful. If you are, my thoughts are with you. But you must take a step. I would suggest getting someone to get you a home kit but that might not work out well for you as someone might tell someone else so.... I'm sorry if i'm not mush help but you need to look after yourself as see a doc.
This happened to me once. I was late once and started to suspect that I was and then I took a home test and it turns out, i was according to the home test. Then I went to a clinic and took a free test there, and got a negative result. But I wasn't convinced because i felt different plus, their test was el cheapo and couldn't detect a pregnancy that early on. So I paid for a blood test and got their confirmation that I was in fact pregnant. So, if I were you, i would go buy a pretty good test - they're coming out with some that can detect that hormone quite early on. You need to find out so that you can make some decisions about what you're going to do. You'll want to watch your nutrition, and go over your options. You don't want to just sit on it if you know what I mean. The sooner you find out, the sooner you can come up with a plan.Quote:

As far as my situation, I was extremely stressed. My now husband was less than thrilled and I made myself sick over it because I didn't know how I was going to handle it. I was at home on a very sunny Sunday afternoon at my desk and the oddest thing happened. I felt the world shift suddenly and this feeling came over me like everything was going to be alright. And i had a miscarriage. I think it had happened at that moment, but I didn't know until Tuesday.
Good luck steph - you're in my thoughts.
Edit: If you passed out at a party and you didn't know what was happening, is that not rape?? Who went to the party with you? If it were me, I'd want to know for a number of reasons. Someone needs a boot in their butt.
yes for the second time, but i am pleased to say my partying is OVER as of now. and yeah ill try. i didnt kow anyone, the one person i did know left and i was having a pretty good time, everyone was laughing and cutting up so i stayed..big mistake...thanks for the advice
Yeah...I was almost in a similar situation. I was at a friends house...er rather ex-friends house. But we were just hanging out...they were drinking, I was the DD. But anyways, my friend(not the ex-friend), comes over to me and tells me not to drink anything they give me. He said that he saw some of them with pills and that they were putting them into their own drinks. I found out later that it was one of those drugs that they people use to increase sexual awareness and then causes them to black out. They were taking some other kind of drug...but I haven't talked to them since then. And I've stopped partying as well.
Take extra good care of yourself. Go to a clinic and they can help you out. Like Shalot said, there are tests that can predict a lot closer now. So you might want to ask a friend to get you one or you could get it. Have you been under a lot of stress, or anxiety etc? Because I missed my period this month and I've also been feeling really weird, but I know I'm not pregnant because I'm not sexually active. Stress/anxiety(etc.) does crazy things to your body...
Good luck and my thoughts are with you...
Have you thought about telling your boyfriend??
well, again I hope it all works out to your advantage. Just find out so that you can make a plan. I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
thanks guys...your support means a lot, ill find out tommrow, a friend is getting me a test. :bawling: im scared but life must go on. thanks for yuour help...
Good luck to you Steph. I've been there myself, and it is really scary, especially when you are very young. I was 16 when I found myself pregnant by my boyfriend. My best advice is to confide in your parents if you find out that you are. I know this is easier said than done, but you may be surprised at how they react. My parents were irate when they first found out, but they would have moved heaven and earth to help me if I hadn't micarried in the first trimester. You are in my thoughts.Quote:

Good Luck, and Take Care, Steph!!
Has anyone heard from Steph today? I sent her a pm but haven't heard back. I hope she's ok. This is a hard time for any woman.
I've not heard from her yet, but I hope she will update us when she knows. That was actually why I was checking in just now. I hope that she is alright as well.Quote:

I'm concerned.
(Does anyone know a cure for muscular pain? my legs are killing me, it hurts so bad! :bawling:)
Leg cramps or just leg pain?Quote:

A hot soak in the tub might help too. Try to relax your muscles. Stretching should help as motherhubbard said.
Motherhubbard: I walk a mile and half everyday! More walking?Quote:

Granny5: that's a great idea. But if I wasted that much water my parents would skin me alive :sick:
So what about stretching?
Also, Magnesium is good for leg pain. At least that's what a holistic Dr. told me.
So ladies what are your favorite or signature perfumes/fragrances?
I just wear simple fruit and fragrances. (the really cheap kind) Violet and lilies are my signature scent.
DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats the smell I really like, but I'm to poor to buy it.:(
Lacoste Touch of Pink...it's not that expensive too. I love it :D
Clinique Happy In Bloom
Cool Water for Women
Sunflowers (this is an oldie but a goodie)
I like anything that smells clean. I am not a big fan of musks and I don't like thick smells like well, Spellbound for instance. And Chanel - I think most of those perfumes just are too heavy. Coco and Chance smell good but it's just too much.
