    Well, food poisoning GENERALLY occurs 24-72 hours after eating the contaminated food (this is what my doctor told me). The best thing you can do is drink plenty of clear fluids. Drink gatorade since you'll be so dehydrated after all of that vomiting. You'll need to try and eat something. Saltine crackers and those Nilla Wafer things are great. Clear broths, you can dissolve a bouillon cube in some water, that will give you a little something. Chicken flavored Ramen Noodles are good (and cheap!!!) for upset stomach. Drink ginger ale. The ginger helps soothe your stomach. If you're a tea drinker, try drinking some peppermint herbal tea. By the way, this is coming from someone (me) who gets the flu VERY often. I have a terrible immune system.

    2 years after my rape incident, I talked to a cop because I wanted to put in a report, so just in case it happened to another woman, I would be on record. I started asking random questions. One of those questions was, if one person is completely sober and the other very drunk, is it consentual? The cop said it absolutely was not and the sober person could be charged with rape if the other party reported it. He said the only way it would be consentual, is if the drunk person consented BEFORE drinking. (I say person because it could go either way, as women do rape men...though not nearly as common)\ Daligal, I am so sorry that happened to you. Regardless of what you want to call it, that guy was completely in the wrong

    god, i know.... the number of men I've slept with is absolutely humiliating... I would NEVER tell a guy I wanted to date my number. In fact, only one person (outside of the internet forums) knows the real number.

    Eva, is this common for rape victims? I always wanted to ask, but was too embarrassed because I thought it would make me sound like a psycho... but ever since it happened to me, it's been a recurring fantasy...

    omg, eva... I know exactly what you mean.... same here... it's terrible isn't it? A vast majority of the men I've slept with have been because I was just sick of them pressuring me and I wanted to get to sleep. Same deal as you.

    Wow, I'm shocked at how many of you have been raped, too. I was raped when I was 14. 2 guys. Both in their mid-late twenties. GHB was involved. I sort of knew the one guy. They threatened me so I never reported it. This leads to my question: How many of you DIDNT report it? Every day, I feel guilty for not because I'm so afraid these men will do this to other girls.

    I hope I'm not repeating anything, but have you tried counseling directed specifically to this issue? I think you need professional help with sorting all of this out. I'm not married, never have been, but in my opinion, if you're not 110% certain you want to marry this woman, now is not the time. I'm not saying to break up, but I'm saying put off the wedding--for now. I think having that date set is freaking you out, especially as it gets closer and closer to happening. She sounds like a great girl, and she'll give you your space to sort things out, which is fantastic. Is she dead-set on getting married in March? Could you postpone it without her freaking out?

    I don't know... from the outside, it looks sweet... but thinking about it... it's kinda creepy that he found your address without your consent... who's to say he won't just show up randomly? There was a thread about this a while back... english girl meets australian guy online. guy becomes obsessed with girl. guy moves to england. girl has boyfriend and no romantic interest... different but similar...

    I've always NEEDED my mother's validation. Disappointing her is my biggest fear (I know, how awful is that?) Anyone other than her, I could care less about whether or not they care. Even my dad, I care to an extent, but not anywhere near how I care about my mom's. She's always pushed me and pushed me. Everything I did... everything I've accomplished...none of it has been QUITE good enough. She'll praise me but then will be like "you did SO great, I'm so proud of you! But you could've done much better"

    Yeah, shikashika, in my opinion, I think it's deeper for him than just the sex...from how he described it anyways... it could be loneliness, wanting to boost self esteem, feel wanted, simply to hold another person.... thinking detaching himself and not letting himself get close to a woman emotionally is going to make everything easier....

    I sort of went through a similar thing last year, except I'd sleep with these guys because I thought it would cure my lonliness and that they'd want more than just sex... not one of them did. And everytime, I'd get so hurt. I stopped by simply not putting myself in the position to hook up (i.e. frat parties) and I weaned myself off of it... You need to open your heart up to women. You'd be surprised at how many really care. If you think, though, that this is more of an addiction, have you considered therapy? I don't really know anything about sex addiction, but I do know they have support groups (if it's that bad). I just hope you're being safe about it when you do hook up. A random night of sex is not worth catching something nasty. If those girls will hook up with you right away, they're probably hooking up with a lot of other guys too.

    ughhhh YES... just absolutely bawling...my ex loves country...whenever i hear country in general i feel like poop. There's certain songs, though that I instantly tear up. I was watching the OC the other night, it was the episode where Summer meets Seth at the airport. She gives him a hug and he says "My baby's back!!" I started crying sooo hard... my ex said this to me everytime i'd see him (long distance relationship)

    You know, it all depends on the brand... my doctor told me it's very unlikely you'll gain a significant amount of weight JUST from going on birth control. She said if you do gain weight, it's likely to be in your breast region. When I went on it, I don't recall gaining weight... except, of course, my breasts grew
  15. jengh
    Did she recently start taking birth control pills? I know when I started mine (Yasmin), my breasts increased about a cup size.

    watching my cats clean each other is getting me all sentimental and sappy. How's that for pathetic?
  17. jengh
    you have no idea how badly....
  18. jengh
    ooh, i bet it was all cheery and lovey-dovey!!!

    too funny... that would make very cool and unique wedding favors.. or shower favors..

    He seems to accept your sexuality and I think that if you told him you were into him, he would be very flattered, not appalled or anything like some homophobic men would be. The fact that he makes comments like that on your myspace leads me to believe he MAY be interested. If anything, curious... Have you hung out with him outside of school? Why don't you invite him to watch a movie or (I see you live in San Diego) go to the beach... see how he reacts to that...

    I understand. And talking about it on here is a great place to start. It will help you open up better to people you don't know Feel free to get my IM names off of my profile if you'd like to talk more. I'm online a lot. I'm more than willing to talk with you.

    hey, there's nothing wrong with looking that way, but if you'd like to look more girly, PM me and maybe I can give you a few tips. I'm pretty girly without going overboard.
  23. jengh
    there is nothing that makes me angrier than being stood up. at least send a freaking text message. then you can try and make other plans. so inconsiderate.
  24. jengh
    I realize it's SO hard to talk to someone you don't know, someone in "uniform", as you put it. These people are TRAINED to deal with that though. They won't prod you, they let you speak your mind when you're ready. I think it would do you a world of good... Again, I am so so sorry for what happened in your past I can relate to a very small degree.

    the fact that he intentionally sought THEM in particular out would drive me crazy. Ugh
