I just happened to remember a bubblegum I used to get, back in the 80’s.

What was special about it was, it had a flavored liquidgel center that would burst when you bit down on it. I also recall that it had an unusual shape to it, similar to a sofa throw pillow. I can’t remember the name of it, or if it is still made.

(I had the recollection today, as I discovered Wrigley’s has reintroduced “Hubba Bubba Bubblegum,” which was also originally from 80’s era. http://www.hubbabubba.com)

So basically could you get any type of disease if say for instance you cut your tounge and it started to bleed last night or for that matter you lips, and the next day the bleeding stopped, however, you still have a open cut on your tounge and lips, but their not bleeding. Could you still get any STD, HIV, AIDs or anything if she has the same problem, but she isn’t bleeding aswell and we start to make out? french kiss..etc?

Is AIDs only caused by the exposure of blood to blood contact? And if so, why would you be in risk of getting AIDS by a blow***, if your **** is perfectly ok and doesn’t have cuts and not bleeding but she may have maybe have bleeding gums or a possiblity of a cut on her tounge and lips, but again not bleeding, do any of those scenarios give you a chance of AIDS? Or even if she wasn’t bleeding when she was giving a BJ, can you still get AIDS? Or maybe any STD?

And if two people are not infected with AIDS & STD, can blood to blood contact get you it still?

I really want to quit smoking!!! At least I want to want to quit smoking…(any smokers know what I mean by that so don’t judge if you have never experienced this addiction.) So I have tried gum, the patch, cutting back, and cold turkey. I have tried working out more than usual, eating candy, and even ******* on flipping carrot sticks whenever I normally have a cig during my daily routine. I don’t even drink alcohol anymore or eat high fatty foods which is a major trigger for a smoke. I even tried an anti-depressant that is suppose to help. I have failed miserably each time. I end up smoking more it seems.
So I know the more you try the more successful you’ll be. That relapsing is a part of recovery…
Anyways to get to my question… Has anyone out there had first or second hand experience with hypnosis helping a person to quit smoking? I’ve heard from people it works… But how effective is it really? Is it a drastic change in your behavior, or does it just kinda get you jump started? And how much is it usually, (how much per session, how many sessions) ? Is it worth the money?
Thanks for any advice. I want to be free from all of this….
So just to let all of you who have never smoked, (or had a problem with addiction) using will power to quit is easier said than done, and not just for the obvious reasons. Drugs impair the part of the brain that gives you will power. It can make it close to impossible not to pic up a cigarette when you need one. I’m not using that as an excuse by any means. And quitting cold turkey does work… just keep that in mind.

Gum Paste is the stuff that you can put over cakes to make them look really nice and not so droopy. If anyone watches Ace of Cakes on the food network will know what i’m talking about.

I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled, the bottom were fully impacted requiring them to cut my gums open. The surgery was 20 hours ago but when i look in the mirror at the extraction sites i just see two slits. Does the blood clots fill up the hole or are they much deeper in? I ask because i dont >see< any 'clot' just a cut in the gums with darker red deeper in. Could perhaps the clot be deeper inside the hole do clots usually cap off the extraction site up to the very top?

Also I was eating cut up pieces of scrambled egg and i noticed little yellow bits rather deep in the whole. i havent started the rinsing yet, i start tomorrow, but will th erinsing remove the food bits from the hole?

Hi. My dog is a 7 month old American Eskimo (Toy-Miniature cross). When he was about 5 and a half months old his vet found that he has a heart murmur. She said Buddy’s blood sounded thin and he got put on vitamins (which he has been on for about a month or so). I wonder if it is safe for him to be neutered and have a tooth removed at the same time. His one baby fang has yet to fall out but is starting to show signs of causing gum disease (but luckily did not cause problems with his tooth alignment). The vet he saw yesterday (who was Buddy’s original vet, but who we had to switch from due to Buddy having anxiety problems after getting his microchip) said that it sounded faint. Both vets have seen Buddy several times in the past since we first got him. They will be doing an ultrasound when he is under to check his heart out. The vet thinks it should be ok to go ahead with the surgery, but I still am anxious because he is my baby.
Buddy was perfectly healthy when we got him. He’s a highly intelligent dog and very active. He gets lot of exercise playing with my fiancé’s parents dogs in their yard and we take him for several short walks every day (like 5-10 minute walks) as it is winter here and his paws get too cold if we go for longer (we did have booties for him, but he burried the two for his front paws in the snow and we couldn’t find them). He loves it outside though and has a nice warm coat.

Buddy did experience diarreah for a few weeks when he was about 3-4 months old. After 3 fecal exams (and more vet visits), trying to switch food and take away food and treats (didn’t work), it was a culture and sensitivity test that showed that Buddy had an overgrowth of the one organism often found in dogs guts that doesn’t usually make them sick (it did show up on the 2nd microscope exam which is why we got the culture exam done) and something like salmonella, so he was on two antibiotics for a little while.
The vet thinks he had caught the bacteria from another dog in our apartment or from my fiancé’s parent’s dogs who Buddy played with almost every day when we take him there. We want him fixed as one of their female dogs isn’t spayed and is 2 yrs old and Buddy is sexually mature (he’s been humping since he was 3 months old and only the unspayed female not the other dogs and he commonly gets errections tho not as often now). His vet said he was sexually percoisious lol. We are lucky that Bailey didn’t get pregnant when she went into heat a few months back.

The vet said it was pretty faint and that he thinks Buddy should be ok. The vet has been practicing for a long time (same with Buddy’s other vet) and is the head vet at the clinic. I do trust his judgement on this but I just worry at the same time.
Thanks. I will make sure that they know he has the heart murmur when he gets his surgery (it’s in his file, but still). He will be 7 months on the 24th, and his heart murmur was initially diagnosed in early December. He is a very active dog but we have started to notice that he is eating slightly less dry dog food but more of his homemade supper and has quit growing as fast as he was. For awhile there the vet was just a little concerned that he was maybe getting a little bit pudgy around the ribs but now he seems to have lost that bit of fat. Both vets said it was faint (they are from the same vet clinic which has about 7 vets). His one vet (the one who initially diagnosed the murmur) thought he was anemic… that’s why he got the vitamins. He got put on prescription food (Medi-Cal Gastro Diet) and no treats when he was sick and he gotta better really quick. He did get sick one day but that’s cuz he had a bit of doughnut. He was fine in a day.
I would love to tell my future in laws to get their dog spayed but I do not want to offend them. They do license their dogs and the fee for her is double the regular fee. We have gotten Buddy all of his vaccinations, and he has taken some heartworm preventative stuff.

Don’t ask where we got him. I know better than to buy a dog at a store again. We had fallen in love with him at first sight and he’s been worth every penny. He doesn’t like going back to petland… though can you blame him.
His vet says his tooth needs to be removed as it is still not loose and we can tell the gum is starting to get irritated around it. He’s actually had the new tooth in for over a month. As for the murmur, the vets didn’t seem too concerned about it as it sounded faint but the one vet suggested we get the ultrasound done at the same time just to make sure.

I don’t know what grade his murmur is. All I know is that the vet said he would feel comfortable performing the surgery on Buddy.

I was sitting in the corner of a room with fish colored shag carpet and an atrocious scent that reeked gum disease. The air felt moist, like he was vaporizing Vaseline, maybe, thick and ill like thinned butter I could slice with my eyelashes. Jesus was standing across a fold out table with his arms crossed. His thin black hair was slicked over to one side, partially covering one of his beady eyes that were staring me down. Jesus Monroe. I don’t know much about him except that he tried to get a room in the hospital I was working at, but was rejected for reasons unknown to me. I was only working there part time as a nurse’s assistant, taking care of the old folk, playing Yatzi or watching T.V.
I’m slime. I **** myself. I have the most awful brown curly hair that I always try to weigh down with water, and thin stick-like arms that couldn’t intimidate a mouse. My name is Jeremy, I am seventeen years old.
I lived in Putnam, New York in a pretty nice neighborhood. My house was the small, light pink one on the corner. There, I stayed with my parent, Betty and Jim. I’m saying this in the past tense because I don’t know for sure if I’ll be returning. All I know is that I need to get prepared for an interrogation, because Jesus is creeping up before me.
“What’s your pleasure?” he asked.
I noticed he talked with a bit of a lisp.
“I’m not feeling much pleasure at all, Mister,” I said nervously.
I was scrunched up in a little ball in the corner. The room had no windows or doors, just a ladder that went up through a small hole in the ceiling. This was the kind of room you could go crazy with claustrophobia in. It was cramped and the walls were off-white with sleazy orange carpet that outlined the room like a stencil. The black fold out table took up about sixty percent of the space, leaving me and Jesus right across from each other, face to face.
“Do you have a story?” he asked.
“No, sir,” I replied.
“Tell me who you think you are,” he said, assertively.
“I’m Jeremy,”
“Nice to meet you, Jeremy, what’s your name?”
I looked at him confused, and then tried to smile as if he were making a joke or something.
“You’re no Jeremy. You’re Calendar Friend. Yeah, that sounds nice doesn’t it?”
I nodded.
“Mhm… and I am Jesus.”
“Hi…” I said quietly.
“Hello to you too. We’re cute together, dontcha think?” he said, “Yeah, I like you. Kinda skinny, though. Want some gumbo?”
“No, thank you,” I said, sheepishly.
“Okay, that’s alright.” He said as he climbed the ladder up through the hole in the ceiling, I suppose to get some for himself. I contemplated trying to escape, but figured it’d be too dangerous so I sat still and listening to him stomping around on the upper floor.
He returned after a short few minutes with a giant pot of thick, brown gumbo.
“Sure you don’t want some?” he asked, scooping the goop into his mouth.
I nodded yes.
“Just try it…” he said, trying to push some of the gumbo into my mouth with his hand.
I turned my head. Jesus acted insulted. He stood up and started pelting handfuls of scalding gumbo at me. It burnt my skin and I yelped with both shock and blistering pain.
“Do you **** yourself, Calendar?” he yelled, “Do you with you were someone else?”
“Do you ever feel you’re not pretty enough, not smart enough, or not good enough?”
“Do you ever feel you’re just filth?”
He yielded. He took a breath. He stepped away from me, crouched onto the ground and put his hands over his head.

My grandfather was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked and I finally get to go to Oahu in March and would love to see the army base that he was stationed at. Any information would be helpful.
Forgive me. It is a naval base…
