Sugar!
Sugar is actually a phenomenal way to combat a hangover because it helps "lift" you back up.
So, if you wake up feeling absolutely miserable—just grab some chocolate, a pastry, or whatever sweet treat you have on hand.

I’m not entirely certain how one would go about delaying ovulation without being on oral contraceptives. I suspect there might be some options available, but you really ought to consult with a physician—and honestly, you’ll likely need a prescription regardless.

Are you currently taking any oral contraceptives?

@ Bradley Barnes90
Didn't they teach you better than to mix those?
Anyway, you still haven't told me your typical intake... give me an example of what a normal day looks like for you...

@ Bradley Barnes90
What exactly constitutes "drinking heavily" in this context?
Are we talking ten shots of whiskey? Two liters of bamboo juice? Or maybe five beers?

@ rapidranger79
Do you smoke?

coastalrider94 said:Quick question—I can’t quite remember the name of that cream for yeast infections or Candida... is it Canesten? I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone know how much it goes for over the counter here?

One of the common ones is indeed Canesten, and if I recall correctly, you can pick it up without a prescription for roughly $5 or $6. However, my advice would be to see a doctor first just to be certain it actually is a fungal issue. Even if it is, you might find that using vaginal suppositories provides a more effective treatment than just a topical cream.🙂

Perhaps you're overthinking it. Sure, condoms that feel a bit too tight can cause some irritation, but that usually settles down within a day or two...

The fault lies with whoever denied me a decent meal to sustain myself.
To be clear, there is a fundamental difference between being at home and being stuck inside a military base where I couldn't even step out.

They have done me a profound injustice, and frankly, I intend to settle the score. Who? It doesn't matter—the transplant center will hear about it.

I’m curious, how exactly did they commit such a grave injustice against you?

Is this "great evil" simply because you missed a meal, or was it something more significant?
Were you left hungry for the entire day? Did you miss breakfast and dinner as well?
And what about those who chose not to donate blood? Did they still receive their meals from the base commissary?

So you're telling me this has been happening to her all along, and yet she isn't dealing with irregular cycles?
By "irregular," I mean her period doesn't follow a predictable schedule—instead of hitting every 28 to 31 days like clockwork, it might show up after 20 days one month and then vanish for 50 days the next, you know what I mean?
Honestly, it could be anything, and she really ought to see a gynecologist. I don't see why that's an issue; a visit to the doctor is covered by insurance, and if privacy is the concern, her mother doesn't even need to be informed.

Melissa Torres4 said:Of course she needs to see a gynecologist! 😲

I agree, ☕

but if I may try to offer some actual help here...
1. Is she currently on any medication?
2. Has this happened to her before?
3. Are her periods typically irregular?
4. Is there any possibility she could be pregnant?

My dad’s project won't be finished for another six or seven days—how on earth can they claim it will take a whole month?! (He's working with a private contractor, but still...)

I believe you can find an eye mask at Avon

I’m sorry, I didn't quite catch that. It looks like your message might have been cut short or was just a typo. If you had a specific topic in mind or wanted to start a discussion, feel free to lay it out. I'm happy to dive into a conversation once I know what we're talking about. kaže:
😕 😕 Can I ask a quick question? Does Yasmine start working right away, or do you have to wait until you've taken the 21st pill for it to kick in? I’ve heard they aren't exactly heavy-duty, so I was wondering if there's any guarantee that the first dose actually does anything.

How exactly does it work? Is it meant to provide protection as a contraceptive, or is its primary function to act as a pain reliever?

When I was on Cilest, I didn't experience any discomfort whatsoever—not even a single day of cramping during my period. With Yasmin, however, I do feel a bit of an impact. It’s definitely much milder than when I wasn't taking any pills at all; the actual pain isn't really there, but I do get that distinct sensation of pressure and bloating on the first day or two. That said, Yasmin seems to be better for me in almost every other regard, so that's how it goes.

Exactly. How is a support group supposed to assist the deceased or those battling HIV?

And what about this?

Anthony Miller13 said:Wouldn't it be more effective to invest in community centers, rehab facilities, or vocational workshops—essentially creating actual job opportunities for those in recovery—rather than just providing a room where they can continue using drugs?

amberorca192 said:I spent eight years riding hard, and absolutely no one in my social circle or my own family even realized what was happening. They couldn't offer any support because they didn't know I was struggling until the day I finally sat them down and said, "Look, I have a problem... I'm addicted to heroin."

I have just one question: if such a room actually existed, how would it truly help you?
Wouldn't it be far more effective to establish more recovery communes, rehab centers, or workshops—essentially creating pathways back to steady employment for recovering addicts—rather than simply providing a dedicated space where people can continue to use? From my perspective, the perceived benefits of such a room are limited to:
a) fewer needles left lying around in public parks
b) a cleaner environment, which might theoretically reduce disease transmission
But even those points are debatable, considering that once you visit such a room, you'll likely find yourself returning to it repeatedly rather than moving on.

amberorca192 said:Good grief, the level of superficiality out there is truly staggering. 🤣

I would appreciate it if you could provide some context or elaborate further on your point. I find that without a bit more detail to work with, it is difficult to offer a meaningful or constructive response. Please, walk me through your reasoning. 🙂

amberorca192 said:Look, even if we had universal basic income in place, I highly doubt people would actually show up for it. There's a practical issue here: the police. Since possessing any amount of drugs is a criminal offense in the States, it wouldn't exactly be wise to go out and get tested for substances in a public space that the cops are already monitoring. I'm just not sure how feasible that would ever be.

And just when I spoke my mind, I was suddenly labeled as shallow. Typical. ☕

Edward Green said:Are you smoking? Eating junk? Skipping the gym? Jogging on concrete? Speeding on the highway? Getting into a car with a drunk driver? Using protection every single time?

No, no, no, no, no, no, yes... goodness, I am absolutely flawless.🤣

The whole point of arresting users is just to harass them until they cough up enough information to help catch the big fish. Besides, the consumption itself is illegal under the law anyway.
And if the kind of user I’m picturing doesn't exist, then you're obviously implying that wealthy consumers are the ones out there. After all, to get access to high-end stuff, you either have to be loaded or become a "criminal." If I actually had that kind of money, I’d just buy my own supplies and keep a stash at home; I wouldn't need to seek out a dedicated space.
I still maintain that you wouldn't see much of a crowd in those types of establishments... especially once the police start patrolling the area.
