I am drinking all my drinks (except water) through straws to stop potential staining from caffenated drinks.

I brush my teeth three times a day but dark drinks play havoc with them and I'd like to keep them as bright and white as possible and can't give up my coffee for anything!

Does anyone know if this tactic actually works?

I have recently moved from Los Angeles to a small city near San Francisco, as my fiancee got into Stanford Law school and we wanted to be together while is is studying. I am working remotely for a studio in L.A. so am at home all day every day, often without a car.

I would love to get lasik surgery on my eyes. My husband and a good friend have each had it done, with very good results. However, they were farsighted, and I am nearsighted. I understand that the process works better on farsighted people. Is this true?

I am an artist and my near vision is very important to me. I'd love to be able to see in the distance without contacts or glasses, but I'd hate it if I hurt my perfect near vision in the process. Does anyone have any information or personal experience with this?

I have exercise enduced asthma. My triggers are exercise, smoke, and things I am allergic to like dust, trees, grass, etc. Recently I have been noticing when I run I get hives.
Basically I was wondering if the two are connected, am I allergic to exercise?

A friend of mine was advised to take a carritine supplement to help with scar tissue and I'm wondering what carritine is (I had never heard of it before) and how it reduces scar tissue?

thanks!

My daughter asked me this question that I thought I'd pose to you:

Can you predict ahead of time who would have postpartum depression? Is this an inherited disease, or something no one knows the cause of?

My neighbor's daughter has "fluid in her lungs", and I don't know what that means! Is it a chronic condition or disease, or "just" an infection? How long does it last, and how is it treated? Is this common?

I have Pudendal Neuralgia. I am 25 yrs old and a full time student and mother of two. I have been going through a lot of pointless medications that are getting me nowhere and no relief. I am trying to find out as much information as possible and trying to find a medication or a group of medications that will actually work.

I don't think I could be a surrogate for anyone because I know I'd grow attached even if I was in no way biologically connected to the child. Carrying a child is so intimate for me!

But many women offer this service, and it can pay up to $20,000 in the form of expenses and other financial concerns. Women use the money to pay their mortgages, to educate their children or to take vacations!

Could you do it? Would you do it?

Would money be an incentive or the chance to offer a child to a person who couldn't do it themselves? Or both?
