  1. I would recommend going to a Korean place. They always do a better job than fancy spas. Whether or not it will hurt completely depends on your hair. If you have dark, thick hair it will likely hurt alot. It may also bleed and it will probably be bumpy for the first few days. If you have fine, blonde hair like me, it won't hurt at all. You'll just have to try it to see how it feels for you. You can always pop a couple tylenols before your first time in case it's horrible.
  2. If you got Cal1 then you can just as easily get Cal2. Yeah, it's more advanced. But it doesn't have to be any harder. What is your strategy? I don't know how it works at your school, but at mine they offered about 10 Cal2 classes, each taught by a different professor. But the midterm and final were written by one specific professor. Usually it's been that same guy who's been writing the exams for the last few years. So: 1. Find out, by asking other students, the math secretary, or even a professor, who is actually writing the exam. (Or get hour hands on previous exams, and check who wrote them. It should say on the question booklet.) 2. Instead of attending the class you registered in, take the class taught by the guy who's writing the exam. Usually the questions on the exam will be almost identical to the examples he gave in class. So take really good notes, and photocopy the previous notes you missed from other students. Don't just look them over - memorise them! If there are any of the examples that you don't understand 100%, go to your professor and make him explain it to you. Don't worry about being annoying. The objective is to ace the class, not to be liked! 3. Get your hands on previous midterms and finals. This is the MOST important part. They don't change much from year to year, so you should be walking into the final having memorised the previous finals for at least the last 5 years. Then it will be a breeze for you. (Sometimes your school's copy center will have them available for all students. Sometimes you have to work harder by asking you classmates, asking people who took the class in previous years, or there will sometimes be underground stores where you can score them. Trust me, they are out there and you MUST find them ) In my Cal2 class, there were several of us who got 100%. The exam was so easy for us, we finished it in less than 1/2 hour (instead of 3 hours). And that's not because we're smart. It's because we had strategy and had memorised the previous final exams. More than half the class got C or less. Not because they weren't good at math, but because they didn't have a good strategy. Of course, you should also do the questions in the book. Don't just do the ones that are assigned for homework. Do every single one, starting at the first question in the chapter. It will take time, but you need to do that. You can't just start at question #15 because it was assigned... you won't get it. If you've carefully gone through all the questions, attended classes, took good notes, and studied your notes - and you still don't get the material, hire a tutor. Some teachers are just really bad at explaining and graduate students can do a much better job of helping you understand. Good luck!
  3. I just had to brag. It's so beautiful. A heart with lots of tiny diamonds - late Valentines Day present. sigh
  4. yeah, I wouldn't recommend getting surgery for asthetic reasons.
  5. Don't get the generic ones: link removed
  6. I think some of the posters on here have been rude. She has a low sex drive and that's perfectly normally. It doesn't necessarily mean that she's on medication, that she's not interested in you, or that she has any other kind of problem. That might just be who she is. Wanting sex twice a week doesn't make you a bad person. But the way you ask for it might. Are you pushy? Do you insult her for not wanting it as often as you? Do you tell her she's boring you or make her feel unsexy? If she means alot to you and you're determined to make the relationship work, I would suggest counselling. If you want to be with her, you may have to tone down your needs.

    head engaged?

    Yeah, I have the blue veins in the side of my belly too. I'm envious of you still fitting into old bras. I tried on an old on yesterday and couldn't even do it up.
  8. I want some too! I didn't even know you could take suppliments so I was eating lots of walnuts, omega3 eggs, and sardines (in moderation). I'm going to try to find the suppliments.

    Yeah, you're so strong, BTR. You've been through alot over the past few months and you have so much to be proud of. I'm totally keeping the option of pain meds open. If I decide I want them, it's just a 5 minute ride to the hospital.
  10. I can relate with everything you said about her. Sometimes I like to have them noticed and I'll wear a push-up bra with a low cut shirt and enjoy showing them off. But that's only on occasion. Other times, it's weird because I'll be wearing professional clothes and a good bra and my mind is a million miles away from sex - like I'll be thinking about a project at work or about my child and being a mom, or something completely non-sexual - and suddenly I become aware of the fact that some guy is staring at me, picturing me naked and doing dirty things and I feel violated. This summer, I was dressed pretty, yet respectable and walking down the street. These two drunk bums yelled out as loud as they could, "wow, great boobs. Oh yeah baby, those are awesome!" There were at least about 20 people who heard them and turned around to look at me and I just kinda smiled back. Then I went home and cried. The worst part? I was about 4 months pregnant and, even though it wasn't yet noticeable, I was so infuriated that they could disrespect an expecting mom like that. But I've been dealing with crap like that since I was 12 years old and started to grow breasts. Your gf probably has too. She might not have a "problem in her head". Think about what it's like to be all sexual and bouncing all over the place 24/7. The novelty wears off, trust me.
  11. When I moved away to a different city, my best friend insisted on following me a year later. Well, I was willing to have her around. But it was completely her idea. So I got us a nice apartment and even found a bed, other furniture, and a job for her! We were only 18 so we were talking alot about what we wanted to do with our lives. I wanted to travel but she wanted to go to university. So we made a deal that we would both apply to university and if either one of us didn't get accepted, we would go to Japan instead. We were both accepted. So I decided I wanted to take one big trip before school started. I went to Brazil for a month. While I was there, she went home for a visit (very far away). While she was at home, her parents convinced her that she was a crazy nutcase (which was true, except that I can honestly say she had never been so healthy as when she was living with me. She overcame her depression and her eating disorder.) So she decided to stay home and not come back to live with me. She actually took the liberty of calling our landlord while I was in Brazil and telling her that we wouldn't be needing the place anymore. So I get back from Brazil and I have no home and my friend is not coming back. The worst of all? She insisted that I box up all her belongings and send them out to her, and she even demanded that I reimburse her for all the things we'd bought together (furniture, dished, etc.) Man, what a psycho. I guess it turned out well because I still went to university and now I have a degree and a job I like. But still, what a loser she was.
  12. Check out this thread with lots of good advice from moms:
  13. What does he do there? I'm so jealous. I'll trade jobs with him if he wants!
  14. darn it - you've put radiohead in my head!
  15. Try eating the same kinds of things you're eating now, but a bit more of it. Don't reintroduce junk food of any sort into your diet. And keep up with the regular exercise. Perhaps you could replace some of your cardio with weight training.
  16. We're all lost. Embrace it. It can feel quite liberating.
  17. It doesn't sound like you're making that clear to her. Responding with "what's in it for me?" kinda sounds like you're trying define the terms of some kind of prostitution deal to me. The next time she makes one of these comments, look her straight on and say "sure, will you buy me a house?". or just tell her to go to that hot place where the devil hangs out.
  18. I dated a guy for about a month who worked in a casino. He was a jerk. That's all I have to contribute
  19. Are you sure? Male prostitutes are hardly praised where I come from.
  20. yes, he's coming today!! Woohoo! He will be staying with me here for the next 2 months, and after that we will go stay in his city together with baby. I am so, so happy to finally have him here to take care of me and give me affection and you-know-what. Yesterday I got my hair done and I got a pedicure (I figure he'll rub my feet more if they look pretty). This morning I used my special-occasion chanel soap so I'd smell good for him. There's cheesecake and 3 huge steaks waiting in the fridge for us to enjoy together. Today is such an exciting day for me. I'm like a little kid on the first day of summer.
  21. My boyfriend has a crush on one of his professors. I have a crush on an executive who works in my office. We laugh about it together. It's all good. If jealousy is going to prevent you from having a healthy relationship with her, however, you might not want to pursue it.
  22. As long as it's caught in time, cervical cancer is easily cured. I've known a few women who had it, including my mother, and none of them ever went through chemo, let alone died. It was simply burned off in an almost painless in-and-out procedure. As long as you're getting regular PAP tests, the HPV virus is very unlikely to kill you. I'm glad this girl informed you that she has the virus. The fact that she knows about it means that she gets regular check-ups and is concerned about her health. The fact that she told you about it means that she is honest, courageous, and cares about your health. I wouldn't let her get away. She sounds great.
  23. That's what I thought too. But then I'm very sensitive and sometimes tend to be a drama queen and work myself into a frenzy over insignificant things. I'm glad most of you tend to agree that this is an important event and I have reason to be bothered. thanks for sharing your experiences guys
