They've always said they don't want any of us to smoke but they always do it around us, increasing our chances of becoming addicted. They say if I don't like it then I can move out (i'm 18 but going to uni next year which is why i'm still at home) or leave the room (even if it's a communal room such as the kitchen). Sometimes they smoke cannabis and even though they know I know about it, they don't think to keep it away from us. My clothes stink all the time, even if I wash them myself and it's affecting my confidence as i'm scared others can smell it too. PLEASE HELP! This has been an issue for several years now. Reasoning doesn't help. Also, just to add to this, I don't have a problem with other people smoking around me, its just they're my parents and as well as their health issues, i'm thinking about my brothers and sisters. If people were just smoking in general and I didn't have to live with it then I wouldn't care. And the house is our own so I can't take it to a landlord unfortunately. And also, I would move out but i'm saving for uni as i'm going next September and I don't want to have to worry about the rent of a flat as well as university funds. And just to confirm.. I'M A GIRL not a boy. And yeah, I don't have to go to uni but if I want to get to where I want to be in life then I do. I didn't ask about oppinions on it, just the rights behind it and where it stands with parents smoking around their children. Remember, there's not just me, I have a 12, 14 and 16 year old siblings too.. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120164707AApowPX http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120164707AApowPX Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:47:07 GMT AND does marijuana cause acne? both cigs and weed consume my life and money. and i think one of them is the cause of my acne... any suggestions? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120160605AAQAoVl http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120160605AAQAoVl Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:06:05 GMT Am I being reasonable, or unreasonable? I have been with my boyfriend for a year now. I'm 24, he's 26. He is amazing, i love him alot. Before we started dating, I told him all the reasons why I'm not casual relationship material. I'm a practicing christian, I rarely party [maybe twice a year], and i'm looking for 'the' relationship- to have kids, get married etc. He said he wanted a serious relationship too, and after a little while of being friends we were a couple. Here's the thing. He was a Pothead at the time he met me. I didn't know it until one night when we were on a date and I asked him, because a friend of mine suspected he was. He admitted to it, but said he was quitting, because he wanted to when he turned 25 anyway. he was completely done with it the first 3 months of 'us'. Then he occasionally [maybe once a month] smoked with friends. I told him very rarely was ok, but i can't be w/ someone who has a habit. We had our ups and downs...[the usual- where you're learning about e/oth and how to get along] I stayed at his place for a few months [out of necessity, it wasn't something i wanted to do] and now I've lived seperate from him for a couple months. He is smoking again. I'm heartbroken over this, b/c i saw how happy and confident he was when he stopped- he had no anxiety, he was feeling and looking healthy. Now he's anxious again etc. [but denies it of course. i see a definite difference though] He asked me the other night about getting married [not official proposal]. I told him i can't right now because of this smoking thing. I told him my feelings on weed- i'm not a hater..i have probably 3 friends that smoke it and that's their choice. I have smoked before, but for me it's something that happens once a year if that. his idea of 'occasional' and mine are very different. I just told him i don't want it part of my life. If i marry him and he smokes it's about me too, not just a personal choice of his that wont affect me. He's taking it personal- that i don't love him and accept 'who he is'. i LOVE who he is, i just hate the substance as a regular thing. it would be the same if it were opposite, and he got drunk all the time. I want to be with him, but only want a marriage if/when he isn't doing that b/c frankly i don't see myself married to someone who smokes weed every weekend especially because we want children. I should think it would be a good thing.....you know, that he can enjoy this time to hang with his friends and smoke on the weekends/ every few days. Then when he's over it we can marry. Why is he pushing the marriage thing though? HE is the one that wants it badly, but i told him i can't accept weed. Never have, never will. Why is he pressuring me so much? am i being unfair? He knew this about me from the beginning. He likes my morals, says he doesn't want to date someone that smokes but expects me to accept it on the regular! I'm pretty much a believer of moderation for anything- i hate addictions. It's just hard. He is a christian too, but we differ on this. And I don't mind occasional beer [in moderation]. Weed is illegal for one, and bad for your lungs. Plus, i know that the parannoia and anxiety don't happen often with beer. yes the illegal part scares me also. I think he could hold down a good job, but what if he loses it, and then needs another asap but can't get one b/c of weed? that could be bad if we had a baby or something. as i said, i'm not a hater and i love being with him. but i can't just give into his pressure and MARRY him like this. I see marraige as something for us when we are both mature and don't have anything like this in our lives- he isn't there yet. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120154842AAPYXT7 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120154842AAPYXT7 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:48:42 GMT I have been smoking for over 6 months and in order to keep my girlfriend happy i decided to quit i have just about a weekend, how? what do i use to keep me busy? i am 13 btw http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120152441AA2UiLm http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120152441AA2UiLm Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:24:41 GMT I have been with my boyfriend for a year now.

I don't think it's ADD because I have that along with OCD and I don't think I act all that strange. I know she she has autistic nieces and nephews, so maybe it's hereditary. Before she quit smoking weed she seemed more normal and able to follow a conversation then (I'm dead serious but I'm not saying it's right or wrong. That's was just my observation). Recently, I began noticing some strange personality traits. Not only does she appear to have a short attention span, she can't maintain eye contact, she mumbles and fidgets alot, she's usually introverted but when she speaks she says really random words/phrases that don't make any sense, and she has child-like interests. When she was a senior in highschool she hung out with freshmen that were really into the candy kid/rave scene and would act ten year olds. They would take ecstasy, but were against weed. I can't understand the logic in that (No offense to ravers. I'm sure there are some that don't act stupid). Another thing I noticed is that she can't seem to follow/understand conversations regarding philosophy or the meaning of life (but not everybody can I guess). She's been a pretty good friend for the most part, I'm just wondering if these could be signs of autism or if I'm just over-analyzing her character. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120144037AAzeKaP http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120144037AAzeKaP Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:40:37 GMT 1. He lost his job 3 months ago where he worked as a mechanic for his dad. His dad ended up firing him and he currently collects unemployment. a. he stays home with our daughter during the day when i work. He complains about having to do so. I know he genuinely loves her and is a really loving father and plays with her, but is bothered by the challenges of caring for a 2 year old all day. b. Since he lost his job, he complains about his life whether it's his job or watching our daughter all day. 2. He has a drinkng/marijuanna addiction, and yes he always has, but I thought things would change after we had our daughter. He has tried to quit both, but has always failed. 3. We have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and have been married for 2 years, together 4. 4. I work at a law firm 30 hours a week, before he lost his job i worked about 20 hours per week.(which he doesn't acknowledge or ever express appreciattion for.) 5. His childhood friend, Jason, has been staying at our house about 4 times a week because his wife kicked him out of his house with two kids. Jason is also an alcoholic and pot head. a. I feel Jason is mooching and interfering with our family and his depression is making my husbands depression worse. I feel like it is me against them. 6. For about a year my husband tells me I'm bitching at him when Im simply talking to him, as I would a friend. he thinks its bit**ing, I think im talking about anything and everything with my partner, even if it doesn't directly concern him. For example "OMG our daughter got into the rolaids!!! OH NO" and he thought i was implying it was his fault she got into them. I was genuinly just shocked. THIS IS CONSTANT! no matter what i say, he thinks its nag or bit***ng at him. In my mind I know i am not. I feel his low self esteem and depression is causing him to feel simple comments are direct shots at him. 7. The whole time we've been together, but much more so recently he lies about little petty things. For example: a. Yesterday, I came home and the bathroom reaked badly like cleaner. I asked what happened, and my husband replied, he cleaned it because all kinds of hair came out of the drain and it was gross. Later I noticed puke on the side of the tub, I asked who puked in the tub? and he said, Jason did. So I asked why he lied about cleaning the bathroom. He said because I didn't want you to be a b***h to jason about it. (which i would not have done, especially if he asked me not to say anything). He was upset and yelled "You never stop bit***ng do you?" and left our house to drink all night. b. Another time, I left a cigarette on the dresser, no one was around to smoke it except for me and my husband. I asked im if he'd smoked it (as it was our last one) he replied, "I don't know where you lost that cigarette, you must have done something with it." I know exactly where i left it. He was the only person there since i left it there, and it sounds petty, I know. But thats exactly the point, why lie about something so little and petty, I really wouldn't have minded if he told me the truth. 8. Besides the joy my daughter brings into my life, I have been very unhappy for about a year, but especially recently. Please help. ANY substance abuse that effects your life negatively is called additcion. Pot, for example, may or may not be a bad drug/plant. It depends on the user and if it affects their life negatively or positively. pot and alcohol affect my husband's life negatively BTW this question was asked by my friend.

Help please http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120115734AAAN3TM http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120115734AAAN3TM Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:57:34 GMT I'm asking this question on behalf of my sister, who is 27 weeks pregnant with her first child. During all of her pregnancy, she has smoked pot and let her doctors know, so that she could find out all the information on it. She has just quit so that she and the baby will test clean when he is born, but has concerns about DCF showing up on her doorstep and trying to take him away. I know my sister, she is a good person, and will be a good mother. The biggest problem is, is that smoking pot is the only way that she has been able to eat with puking, and now that she's stopped, everything she eats comes right back up. We live in Florida...anyone know the rules and regulations on this? She is thinking about just doing hitters so she can keep the food down and after he is born, she will not be doing this in front of him, nor will she allow others. Please don't answer if you're just going to tell me how stupid my sister is and how she is hurting the baby. There's no scientific proof that it does any damage. Take that shit else where. Well, thanks for reading the full thing. I said not to answer if you're going to be hypocritical. My sister has talked to the doctor about getting something to help her eat. He said there's nothing. Who am I to judge on my sister for smoking pot when I do it just as much. It doesn't make you a bad person OR a bad parent. Get over it. Pots not that bad. not hypocritical...if you're going to criticize, is what i meant. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120114348AAmYN9Z http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120114348AAmYN9Z Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:43:48 GMT Ok, so I quit smoking on June 18th. I had smoked for 5 years, less than a pack a day. It wasn't really difficult at all for me to stop, but since then I have noticed that I tend to eat a lot more. I even eat when I am not necessarily hungry. And it is always unhealthy things like candy or salty & sweet foods, like chips and cookies. Occasionally I will force myself to eat yogurt or something like that instead. I knew I would gain weight after I quit, most people do. I have gained a total of 13 pounds, and this last month I gained 5 of the 13, which means I am gaining more and more as time passes. What can I do about this? I have increased my physical activity, I ride between 2 & 4 miles each day on my exercise bike. I don't have time to do anything more than that, like join a gym. I would love to but I work full-time and go to college so it is nearly impossible. Maybe you know of some foods I can use to substitute for the unhealthy ones? Or maybe you know a complete different substitute for the food all-together? Any help would be great. I have bad genes in my family, as far as weight goes, and I would really like to avoid gaining as much as possible. Thank you! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120105608AAETgNn http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120105608AAETgNn Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:56:08 GMT I am on day two of quitting cold turkey, I haven't had many cravings at all but I have a high stress job and I allow myself to bum one off someone if it's an emergency and I can't take it anymore, today I'm thinking about having just 1, I refuse to buy any because I will be completely cigarette free by Dec. 2.

I am super excited but still really nervous and somewhat in denial. I told my mom and older sister the results and they are super supportive and excited, when they found out they took me to lunch and Babies R Us to get some neutral baby clothes which was very exciting. My last period was on October 16th so I will be 5 weeks tomorrow. My mother made me an appointment with my ob/gyn and I've started taking prenatal vitamins. I still don't feel like I'm really pregnant. I mean I have all the symptoms but I've heard women say they KNOW when they're pregnant. So my question is when will it sink in that I'm really pregnant and when will I feel pregnant? Also...when will I start showing? I am about 5 foot 1 and 115 pounds. My pre pregnancy weight is 104...at the beginning of october so i've gained quite a bit of weight but it also comes from quitting smoking marijuana and cigarettes i'm assuming. 3 more questions! What should I expect at my 8 week appt? How should I be eating? And what are the chances of miscarriage? Sorry for all the questions...but you know! Thanks so much!

After breaking up with my girlfriend (first girlfriend ever I might add) during the end of summer, I turned to pot as a remedy. Well college rolled around, and I smoked ALOT from the months of August through October, and recently quit at the beginning of November. I have been experiencing a lot of paranoia, depression, and anxiety ever since. Even around my closest friends, I seem to become self conscious and anxious and even around my family sometimes. I just tend to stay in my basement and not want to socialize or do anything anymore, and I used to be a fun loving kid before this. I'm 18 years old and i'm a freshman in college. Anybody know if these are normal symptoms and in they will pass in time? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120081545AA3HAXI http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120081545AA3HAXI Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:15:45 GMT Quitting Smoking :( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120080913AAxGjPK http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120080913AAxGjPK Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:09:13 GMT What I mean is, even if you dont eat more than usual.

I didn't think I was ovulating so it was more to get used to the whole thing. THEN he changed his mind and decided he wanted to wait until after the holidays. Then I looked up my ovulation days and it turns out I was most likely ovulating those two days. What are the chances I may have conceived? This was last week so I cannot take a test. I have no symptoms, should I right now? Also I usually have a drink and two smokes a night (it's my strange ritual...I don't smoke all day but have two before bed) and didn't stop this until I realized I may have been ovulating. Now I am not doing either but if I were pregnant, should I be greatly concerned?

Drinking started for me about six years ago. I'm a binger. I don't stay drunk but when I go it's twenty four seven for about a week. A few months ago I started combining tobacco with the buzz. (Black and Mild) When I stop it takes three or four days to get my steam back from the booze but lately I've noticed something very different. After the booze is gone I periodically start getting like anxiety attacks or something. This never happened before the nicotine. It just seems to go on for longer and longer amounts of time every time I chain smoke those little cigars and then quit. Is that the tobacco hell I've read about all my life? Don't start with the AA thing. I doesn't work for everyone. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120061210AA8lPbM http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120061210AA8lPbM Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:12:10 GMT i am wanting to quit smoking but i dont want to take any medication or use nicotine patches. i have been smoking for at least 8 years. how have you quit smoking without using any medication? i've tried cough drops, jolly ranchers and cold turkey, but so far nothing has work. any input would be greatly appreciated http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120030808AA0B7bz http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120030808AA0B7bz Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:08:08 GMT More and more people seem to be not smoking, quitting or refusing to even try or start any solid proof? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120025516AAkC8DN http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120025516AAkC8DN Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:55:16 GMT i fill that my girlfriend is falling out of love with me we have two children and one on the way i don't know what to do last night she sead she wanted to take a brake we have been together for four years she sead that she still want's to be with me but she can't wate for me she and i got in a fight about 6 months ago and hit her and i went to jail got what i deserved i know i have moved out of state and quit doing drug started going to school agin she is also doing things she has never done befor she got ride of the kid's last night i was talking to her on the phone and she hug up on me i called her back a little later and it sounded like she was haveing sex i also thought i heard a man in the background i know that there are things that i have done wrong and i'm not there to please her sex wise i think she is cheating on me what do you think she has always been a good girl dosn't smoke drink party i'm scared that have been bothering her i have been she is always saying that i am abcesed with her i don't know what to do do you thiink she is sleeping with someone she got ride of kids sead we needed to take a break and sounded like she was haveing sex and i heard a guy i don't really think she would do that to me but i did hert her and i have been gone for awhile and if she did cheat on me and i found out about it do you think i should forgive her for it i love her and i miss her and she is the best girl i have ever been with i we were high school lovers this is the first time we have ever taken a break http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120020806AAM5yAr http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091120020806AAM5yAr Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:08:06 GMT I mean, just going to night clubs to dance & hang out with some girls. Without drinking of course! And did you ever go to any concerts & what type? I'm pregnant & a legal adult. I quit drinking, smoking, pot & alcohol all at once. It's staying that way even after the baby's born because I want to be a good mom & breastfeed. But I want to check out some of the clubs in the city when I'm old enough... just go in & see what it's like & maybe dance a little.Do you think this is okay? I won't go to concerts because if anything happens it's harder to just leave & I like metal ones so I don't want to risk getting hurt... I'm considering working at a liquor store in town; I'm friends with the owner's son who works there & they offered me a job when I'm old enough. The work itself is easy.

I am super excited but still really nervous and somewhat in denial. I'm 15 years old, I turn 16 on the 26th. I told my mom and older sister the results and they are super supportive and excited, when they found out they took me to lunch and Babies R Us to get some neutral baby clothes which was very exciting. My last period was on October 16th so I will be 5 weeks tomorrow. My mother made me an appointment with my ob/gyn and I've started taking prenatal vitamins. I still don't feel like I'm really pregnant. I mean I have all the symptoms but I've heard women say they KNOW when they're pregnant. So my question is when will it sink in that I'm really pregnant and when will I feel pregnant? Also...when will I start showing? I am about 5 foot 1 and 115 pounds. My pre pregnancy weight is 104...at the beginning of october so i've gained quite a bit of weight but it also comes from quitting smoking marijuana and cigarettes i'm assuming. 3 more questions! What should I expect at my 8 week appt? How should I be eating? And what are the chances of miscarriage? Sorry for all the questions...but you know! Thanks so much!

My Summer Love Good Morning Chapter 1 As I lay In my bed. Waking up to a loud alarm clock. As piercing as my mothers yelling. Dragged myself out of my queen sized bed. To slap my alarm clock off. I look out my window. No rain today?, I thought to myself. I took one small step to open up my bedroom door. The house was so quiet when It was just me, by myself. You could here a pin drop. My mother works full time as a teacher at a small College. I’m not sure where my sister is. I’m sure she’s still at her friends house. Finding my way down the stairs that border the walls. Twisting and turning. They seem like they’ll never end. As I walk into the small kitchen I find my boyfriend reading the newspaper. “I didn’t know you stayed!” I said, as I jumped in his lap. He grinned. “Of course I stayed. I wasn’t going to leave you all alone? What kind of boyfriend would I be.” “I would of understood.” “I know you would have. But your so cute when you’ve just woken up.” He said with a smile that broke my heart. His hands around me always felt right. I don’t know what I would do If he ever left. “So.. what are we going to do today?” I said. His arms still around me. “Hmm we could walk the beach. Come back to your house. And maybe smoke a little bit of this.” he said while pulling out a twenty-five dollar bag of weed. “Sounds good to me” I said. There’s something oddly comforting when I smoke with him. We ended up spending a little bit more time than we should of on the beach. But I enjoyed each minute of it. We drove back to my house. The sun was just setting. We went straight up to my room. Still no one but us. I giggled to myself as I jumped onto my bed as he just sat on it. He pulled out the bag as I grabbed the pipe from under a dark corner, under my mattress. “Would you like to go first?” I said handing him the filled pipe. “Aren’t you somethin‘”. He smiled. After smoking most of the weed we had. I heard a door slam. “Shit!” I said under my breath. Jumping off of my bed like a acrobat, to the window to let the smoke out. Garrett was already on his feet. “What do you want me to do?” he said with a voice that was as calm as his mood when we were high, just moments ago. I couldn’t speak. I was terrified if my mother found out we were smoking. All I could squeeze out was, “ come with me.” I said while intertwining my fingers with his. We left my room, walked the down the stairs. Still pulling Garrett beside me I looked in the kitchen. Vacant. Turned towards my living room. And there was my sister Jane, sitting in front of the television. “Jeeze Jane. You almost gave me a heart a tack!” Jane smiled that charming smile. “ Sorry sis. Oh Hey Garrett.” she said while getting up and hugging us both. “ Hey there sport!” He said while picking her up. Jane looked up to Garrett like a big brother. “ So how was Synthia’s house?” I asked my sister while we all walked into the kitchen. “Great! We stayed up all night making bracelets!” she held up her wrists. There were four on each arm. Two were identical. The bracelets were both blue with a peace symbol on them. I could tell that she took a long time on the bracelets. “Well there beautiful Jane.” I said. She smiled at me, and then looked up at Garrett, who’ still carrying her. He smiled gave her the cutest smile in agreement. And she hugged his neck. Garrett smiled at me as he leaned in to kiss me. As our lips touched my heart raced. I felt Garrett’s free hand on the small of my back. Suddenly remembering that Garrett still had Jane I pulled away before I got carried away. Garrett stared at me with such a bewildered look in his green eyes. I struck a quick glance at Jane. He then remembered her presence. And with that we both relaxed. Jane then gave me that ‘feed me’ look. “What would you like to eat?” “PB&J please!” she said with eager eyes. Garrett then placed her in a chair next to the kitchen table. It turned put we were all quit hungry. When we were finished eating. Jane returned to the dated television set. I started gathering up the few dishes we dirtied and put them in the sink. Turned on the hot water and put some soap in the sink. And started washing. Garrett offered to clean right when we finished eating but I refused. It was kind of something I did. Not usually as a chore but as a break. Garrett just watched as I washed them. Almost finished with the last dish as my mother walked in the front door. Which made me jump. Garrett Laughed. I smirked at him. “Hey Momma!’ I called over my shoulder, Me and Garrett are in the kitchen.” My mom was fond of Garrett. Garrett had wonderful manners. And she very much admired that. I could here her foot steps. I washed off my hands. Turned around. “Hey babe, hi Garrett.” she said hugging me then Garrett. “Hey, Ms. Jackson.” She smiled at both of us. “Well love birds. I can’t stay here long I have to go back to work in about 10 minutes.” Oh did I mention that it’s 10:00 p.m. She’s always busy with She’s always busy with her work. Always studying. Day and night school. And she’s very stubborn. I’ve mentioned multiple jobs that pay better that she could choose from. But no. She thinks that something good will come out of her teaching job. A miracle. It’ll never happen. And she knows it too. She just doesn’t want to believe it. But I admire her for her stubbornness. It defines her. “Gonna be gone for the rest of the night Mamma?” “Unfortunately, yes, Honey.” “Jane?” She called as she walked out of the kitchen. “Hey Momma!” I heard Jane from the living room. Garrett intertwined his fingers with mine as he pulled me out of the kitchen as he lead me to the stairs. “Well mom I love you, and don’t work to hard. Me and Garrett will be up in my room.” “Okay Honey.” she said from the living room. “No funny business you too. You hear?” “Promise Mrs. Jackson.” Garrett called over his shoulder. I smiled. He pulled me to my room. Opened the door. And before sitting on my bed he shut the door a http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091119144954AA1Suno http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091119144954AA1Suno Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:49:54 GMT Hey all, Through the summer months I was cycling almost daily & was doing anything between 25 to 50 miles, I wasnt really paying a great deal of attention to my diet & nutritional needs whilst doing this. Now I have started at a gym exactly one month ago today, I have also quit smoking which has been for a month as well. I am feeling fitter & healthier as to be expected & its something I enjoy & dont see my training time as a chore. I do try to train hard & push myself each time I go. But out of interest I would like some advice, opinions, tips on things that will help me out, so serious answers would be appreciated. Or if anyone has followed a similar routine/plan and found it worked, didnt work, discovered something better etc. So heres my plan & diet: Monday: Rest Day (find thats best, as I have more time to train on the weekends haha) Tues, Wed: Treadmill or static bike 40 mins - 1hr cardio approx, followed by various resistance or free weights for about 1hr (3 x 12 reps @ various weights, pushing & burning on the last reps) Thurs: Rest Day Fri, Sat, Sun: 1h - 1hr 30 cardio (mixture of cross trainer/bike/stepper/treadmill). Followed by 1hr free weights/ resistance. In addition Im now eating much better I think, Typically my diet consists: Breakfast: Porridge or shredded wheat with either Banana or strawberries. Mid morning: Wholegrain sandwich with just one filling (turkey, ham, cheese & salad), No sauces or dressings etc & a piece of fruit Dinner: Wholegrain Sandwich, packet of crisps, piece of fruit cereal bar. Evening meal (after workout): Normally have a tin of tuna as soon as I get in from my workout. Then I will cook something like poached eggs on wholegrain bread with baked beans or piece of lean steak with steamed vegetables or chicken stir fry in black bean sauce (you get the idea lol). Followed by, piece of fruit/ low fat yogurt Snack: piece of fruit/ rice cake I try to stick to that diet rigidly through the week & drink only black coffee (2 cups) and water (5 pints) & do not touch alcholol. However, on a weekend I will have one day were I will treat myself to what I want, so I may get a takeway (pizza,chinese,indian) and have maybe 8 bottles of beer (dont we all deserve that??????). Oh in addition, I work in a job that keeps me on my feet all day long & it involves me lifting, pushing, pulling heavy gear about & I also walk about 1.5 to 2 miles whilst at work daily Sorry its all a bit long winded, but I'd appreciate any advice you could give. Im mainly looking to tone & develop lean muscle, wouldnt want to be too big, prefer the athletic look personally.

I had a lot of friends growing up, but had just one best friend. We went all through school together, went on double dates, did everything together. Well, we decided to keep up with the trend and get an apartment together at college. So we did, and things went fine for a while. We both got real big into smoking pot and neither one of our lives was heading in the right direction. Then our apartment got robbed, and so we both moved back home with nothing. I got a job and started working and he moved in with his grandparents. A Couple of months goes by, and we decide to give being roomates another try. By this time, I had straightened my act up, quit smoking, settled down on drinking, and was doing fairly well for myself. He had not done likewise. He had progressed into more drugs and women. So he meets a stripper. He invites her to come live with us. While she is living there he starts dating a 16 yr old from our hometown. He tells the 16 yr old that the stripper is there for me. When the 16 yr old leaves, the stripper climbs into bed with him. I eventually got tired of the situation and left. He got angry with me and took a couple shots at me, and we had not spoken since. To make a long story longer, I ran into his grandparents yesterday, 5 years since all this, and they said he is still doing terrible, he just got out of the hospital from an extreme overdose, and he has 2 illegitamate kids. What should I do? There was no doubt that i was the positive influence in his life, and since i left, he is on an extreme road to a quick and young death. Should I try to get in contact with him and help him straighten his life out? I am married now with a baby on the way. Should I risk letting him back into my life?

Last time I smoked was 25 days ago. I have been doing awesome there and have been working hard to stay clean. Outbof nowhere I am told that my levels went from 20 to 50 to 51 to 60. That's the last I heard. I don't know why that happened but nobody there will believe a word I say not even the kids except for my friend from school and the other kid that this happened to. Everybody else just tells me to stop lying and to tell the truth but they don't understand that I am! It really sucks. Anybody know why this happened to me? Please be as detailed as possible and if you have a link to some site explaining the science behind this please share!

I was busted 3 times for it, i know i know i am an idiot! Well i paid all my fines (they were all misd. poss) and i have quit smoking. I never did any other drugs i know they say it is a gateway but it sure wasnt for me. Marijuana never got me anywhere anyway not anywhere good at least. Do you think this will affect me getting my license when i graduate?? I hope not!!! please help they say they look back 7 years and when i go to get my license it will be like 5 or 6!
