    nausea

    Does anyone know of an herbal supplement that is supposed to help with nausea? After I came home from Haiti (coincidence maybe), I have spent the week feeling like I have awful diarrhea and resisting the urge to run to the restroom. I feel a little nauseous too. I was not sick on the trip and...

    Swing!

    I bet there's already a thread on this, but I was too lazy to look past the first page. Any swing dancers out there? I finished with some East Coast lessons that lasted a few weeks and now I'm finally learning Lindy Hop. It's such a great way to have a good time and unwind from my college...

    Is a Piggyback Ride Flirting? Kinda iffy?

    Question for the guys. I hope no one will take offense. I'm only asking out of modesty. Does giving a piggyback ride to a girl, especially a hot girl with a larger bust, turn guys on? In case you are unfamiliar with the term, a piggyback ride refers to a way of carrying someone of either...

    California parks and attractions

    Hello Californians! I was counted among your number once, when a wee young'un. Say I was, hypothetically speaking, to spend a week traveling from Los Angeles to the Oregon border. Say I am interested mainly in national parks and historic attractions. What ought I to see? :wave:

    Silly Avatar Request

    So, this sounds real cheesy, but I'm looking for some kind of love type avatars (the little thumbnail internet pictures like you see on forums), maybe holding hands or something. I'm still trying to get over a lousy break-up from nine months ago. I thought it would help me to start a journal of...

    Weird ex-boyfriend

    This post is 15% fever-induced delirious rant, 10% pleading question, and 75% pointless musing and observation. Funny how dating brings out both the best and the worst in people. My ex seems to have two faces. For most of the period that I was dating him, he was a real sweet, uplifting guy. He...

    Healing

    I've been holding on to this pain for so many months. I feel that God is gently urging me to move on. All that I have asked for such as comfort I have received. I have tried to be "patient in affliction." I praise God for His patience with me. How now do I accept His healing? It is so hard to...

    Confidence

    About five months ago my boyfriend broke up with me. When I finally learned his reasons, a large part of those reasons were that he thought I did not have enough confidence and was too easily discouraged or too negative. These are things I have struggled with for most of my life. And with the...

    TOO Selective?!?!

    Sometimes I'll wonder if I'll ever find anyone. It took me 19 years to find someone I found worthy to date. And after I'd known him for about 9 months he decided he didn't want any relationships at least during college, and broke up with me. We are friends now and have been for 3-4 months...

    wedding night

    What do you / did you look forward to most on your wedding night? If you feel comfortable, please state your opinion in a post to the thread as well. I am curious about the gender breakdown.

    Anger

    I have tried hard to be patient with one of my close friends, but I've nearly reached the snapping point. I met him about a year ago at church. He developed a crush on me, but I wasn't interested. After some weeks I became friends with another guy at church who was also in my classes. I DID...

    Question for guys

    Hypothetical scenario, unless you can answer from experience: If your girlfriend is unattractive, are you disappointed by her appearance? Do you ever wish she were more attractive? Do you ever look at other girls and wish you were with them instead? Do you lie to your girlfriend and tell her...

    need to have a conversation with my "ex"

    I'll provide what background to the question I can, though I don't know if it will help much. This summer my boyfriend broke up with me, telling me it was too early for him to be in a relationship because he didn't intend to get married anytime soon. We'd been in a pretty low-key dating...

    exceeding joy

    I am really filled with joy this week. God is SO good and the ways He has been working in my life in the past month or so are just overwhelming to me. He is such a very real presence, a constant voice of guidance and comfort. I never have to feel alone. It is all the more amazing that in the...

    This hurts

    I don't know what it is about guys and faking friendship. But it really hurts. And I wish they would stop. The last guy I had a crush on apparently also had a crush on me. And we both got over it after a while. But we used to IM each other often, and though I still tried to IM him for a while...
