I have pretty long hair (waist length) and I take it down to sleep.

If someone had sex with an underage person (16 or 18 depending on your state) and they had a commitment with them, for example, a "spiritual marriage" (not a legal one) would you consider that a sin? By spiritual marriage I am going by the idea that marriage is not a legal institution, but a spiritual one, and God can join two people together without a binding legal agreement. Would if be different if they both were underage or if only one was underage? Discuss.

Makes you spit blood? What kind of exercise induced asthma do YOU have? They do give you inhalers - I have albuterol. I think you need to see a new doc....

Could be your medication - symptoms a certain # of hours after taking. Could be caffeine - from coffee or tea. Could be artificial sweeteners, preservatives, additives, etc. - keep a food diary. (I've been sensitive to both food colourings and peanut butter, alternately. I'm also sensitive to dairy and stevia) Could be a cluster headache - if the pain is that severe. They are recurring. I'm dealing with a bout of them right now, I think due to the stevia I had Could also be gluten, dairy, corn, or soy. And - finally - it could be eye strain. I get headaches when I wear my reading glasses too often, so I rarely use them.

Jakob is going through a rough time right now and could really use your prayers.

Ha... I read that wrong. Thought you said he was 3.5 years younger than you. I was like hmmm you are dating a 16 year old? And you started dating him when he was 13? I guess I am just really tired tonight.... To add to this thread: my boyfriend is 2.5 years older than me. Honestly never occurred to me about age.

but... weed is good. It's an effective medicine, a pleasurable substance, and a reasonably healthy way to change ones perceptions temporarily. And it's always amusing to do a good ole "Jesus and Cannabis" google search.

Most likely they are normal. Probably Montgomery glands. Caution: picture of boobies inside the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areolar_glands

.9999 will continue to get closer to 1 but never reach 1. This never made sense to me.

This is an interesting article I found on the Christian argument for breastfeeding in public: http://www.drmomma.org/2010/05/breastfeeding-in-public-christian.html I'm a big proponent of a woman's right to nurse in public however and wherever she sees fit (as in - I don't think you need to cover up with a blanket, I don't think you need to go to a 'private' place, and I can think of no environment where a woman should not breastfeed if she feels comfortable doing so).

We aren't talking "Roman Charity" here. Adults do not need to breastfeed and are not getting their needs met by breastfeeding as babies are.... Babies NEED their mums and they NEED to nurse!

Adult breastfeeding is basically a fetish and should only happen in private because it is a sexual act. If you sat staring at a woman's breasts, or if you took a video of a woman's breasts and followed her around just taking video of her boobs that would be wrong. Obviously. So why would you do it if she had a child nursing? The same way you should not ordinarily give extra attention to a woman's breasts, the fact that she has a child nursing is no different. You shouldn't stare.

You make me want to convert.

Hmm, interesting video. The sensory thing seems very mystical to me, although it kind of makes sense.

I am very thankful I live in a place that protects the rights of women and allows them to breastfeed in public legally - unfortunately not without some judgement, since nursing is resurging in popularity but still not the norm. The other day I was at an event and the woman I was talking to nursed her 2 year old. We talked for a good 20 minutes. As I was leaving, a guy I know walked up to me and asked, "Was that lady breastfeeding?" And I said frankly, "Yes, she was. It's no big deal." And he saw the facial expression I had and seemed to understand. He didn't know if it was normal or not because it was not something he had seen a lot, or been exposed to. And he wasn't sure how to react. "Is this lady doing something acceptable? Should we allow her this right? Should I say something?" are probably some of the things he was thinking about, but couldn't come up with answers with until he saw how nonchalantly I answered his question. He probably then thought: "Yes, this is normal. It's acceptable. It's her right." People who do not get to see positive models of motherhood - like nursing and tending to babies in a way that is not "private and secretive" have some weird ideas about breastfeeding. That it's weird, sexual, creepy, perverse, inappropriate, dirty, etc. I think this is mainly due to lack of exposure. People are afraid of what they do not understand. And when they feel some fear about what they are viewing (women nursing) they rationize their fear by making up silly excuses that only work superficially if not at all. It is very sad that you do not understand breastfeeding but it is even more sad that you will likely at some point in your life shame a woman who is breastfeeding or wants to breastfeed - whether it is the mother of your children, a relative or a stranger in public. And shame on you for that.

probably retin-a or differin... unless its an antibiotic or BC.

what is it?

#2 or #3, but I voted #3.
