    PCOS, BCP, and hair loss

    Hi, folks! So...one of the symptoms of my PCOS for the last 3.5 years has been hair loss. It used to be that my hair would fall out in handfulls when I'd been off my birth control pills long enough for my testosterone level to go up, but it would stop as soon as I went back on the pills. For...

    Can't sleep...

    I've been having trouble sleeping for most of the year. There have been medical reasons for it, but those have been taken care of. I'm still not able to sleep without medication, though, and I don't like that. I've been to doctors, I've tried all the tips that are supposec to help a person...

    Ancestry.com

    Does anyone know how reliable the information in Ancestry.com's One World Tree is? I hesitate to automatically add the matches they give me, because I've DEFINITELY found some links that ended up not being correct. When I first joined the site, in fact, I just accepted every match that looked...

    Frustrated!!!

    I really need to be back on some kind of medication for my depression, but I keep running into all these dead ends when it comes to looking for providers. Either the contact info I find is wrong, or the provider in question doesn't do medication, or something else. It's like God doesn't want...

    How far back?

    What's the farthest back you've been able to go in your family tree? I won't make you give me sources, but let me know if it's mostly speculation, or if you're sure. :) So far, I've gone back to the 1600's, and I'm pretty sure everything's correct. I still have a lot of work to do, though.

    Humidity?

    I'm getting more and more interested in nature/wildlife photography, and I plan on taking my DSLR to the zoo to practice as soon as I have one. I was wondering, though, how I can protect my camera from the moisture and the humidity in the rainforest house? I don't want to skip it, since there...

    Foggy head?

    Does anyone else feel like someone poured molasses over their brains? :) Kind of a funny image, but that's how I feel most of the time. I can concentrate fine...it's more of a physical sensation, and it seems to be worse when I'm ignoring how I feel emotionally.

    Tax question

    I'm about to do my taxes for last year, and I'm wondering if it's okay to deduct what I spent tithing. I don't think the idea of tithing is to get tax benefits from it, but on the other hand, I don't want to ignore this if it's something God doesn't mind me doing. I'm going to talk to Him...

    Question about AG church and tongues

    I'm not sure I should be posting yet another thread about speaking in tongues when it seems like there are dozens here already, but since my question is pretty specific, I thought I'd go ahead and ask. Ever since I came back to church as an adult, I've been going to Assemblies of God churches...

    Digital Photo Quality

    Since I'm going to be going digital in the near future, I've been reading up on various digital photography subjects. One thing bothers me, though; it seems like no matter what you do, when you move photos from your camera to a computer and save them, you lose quality. I'm also seeing that...

    Question about creative/entertainment careers

    Do you guys think that people who are in more creative jobs should focus their entire work on God/Christianity themed stuff? For instance, should an actor/actress ONLY do Christian movies/tv shows? Should a Christian artist ONLY produce pieces that involve Him in some way? I'm asking because I...

    Pentax K10D?

    I was wondering what you guys thought of this particular camera. It gets pretty high marks on dpreview.com, but the one thing that customers tended to mark it down for was image quality. We're not talking horrible ratings; maybe a 4.5 rating instead of 5. Image quality is one of my main...

    Money, and the lack thereof

    Quite a few of us at the "young adult" stage of life are just getting started on your own. Since money can be tight in those circumstances, I thought it might be a good idea to share some of the little tricks and tips we have for keeping our expenses down. Feel free to share as many as you...

    Digital Rebel Question

    I've (almost....maybe...probably...hee hee hee) decided that when I get a digital SLR camera, it will be a Digital Rebel. I'm currently seeing two difference versions out there that I'm considering. One is les expensive an dhas around 8 megapixels, and the other is more expensive and has 10...

    Age

    I know that asking someone how old they are can be kind of an awkward (and sometimes totally inappropriate) question. How do all of you feel about that? I'm mostly speaking of people that are around our age (20's and 30's). In a way, I wish people would ask, because I look a lot younger than...

    Okay, I'll play, too

    In advance, I reserve the right to not answer anything that's too disturbing. :P

    Paxil

    I was just put on this one; it's the third drug I've tried and I'm not noticing a huge difference so far. I've been on it for less than a week, though, so I think it might be good to give it time! Anyway, I'm only taking 10mg a day; my doctor has me cutting the 20mg pills in half. I'd be...

    It's just not going well...

    I'm having the worst depression ever right now. I've had it for five years now, and it's never been this bad. I'm not on any meds right now, but I'm starting on Paxil today or tomorrow. I don't feel like there's any hope or help for me at this point. Intellectually, I know that God doesn't...

    Keeping your own identity?

    One of the things I'm most worried about when it comes to marriage is that I'll lose my own personality and identity in the relationship. So I'm wondering...how did you guys maintain your own lives while sharing them with your spouse? I'm especially curious to hear responses from wives...it...
