To Whom It May Concern
I was run over by the truth one day.
Ever since the accident I've walked this way
So stick my legs in plaster
Tell me lies about Iraq.
Heard the alarm clock screaming with pain,
Couldn't find myself so I went back to sleep again
So fill my ears with silver
Stick my legs in plaster
Tell me lies about Iraq.
Every time I shut my eyes all I see is flames.
Made a marble phone book and I carved out all the names
So coat my eyes with butter
Fill my ears with silver
Stick my legs in plaster
Tell me lies about Iraq.
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
So stuff my nose with garlic
Coat my eyes with butter
Fill my ears with silver
Stick my legs in plaster
Tell me lies about Iraq.
Where were you at the time of the crime?
Down by the Cenotaph drinking slime
So chain my tongue with whisky
Stuff my nose with garlic
Coat my eyes with butter
Fill my ears with silver
Stick my legs in plaster
Tell me lies about Iraq.
You put your bombers in, you put your conscience out,
You take the human being and you twist it all about
So scrub my skin with women
Chain my tongue with whisky
Stuff my nose with garlic
Coat my eyes with butter
Fill my ears with silver
Stick my legs in plaster
Tell me lies about Iraq.
-- Adrian Mitchell
Tell me lies about Iraq?
Iraq is safe and secure with .04% unemployment and a booming economy inside the ten square mile Green Zone Government...Fox news says so right here in America with Dann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity boasting about all of the wonderful contributions the Republicans have made to their Country in 5 years.

Reply:In Iraq it is customary for boys of a certain age, lets say 12, to take a beetle of a type of his choosing as a pet and name it 'Ernie'. Most boys choose the scarab beetle, however, it is not available. In it's stead they settle for a Beatle. Paul and John are equally popular. Arty intelligent boys go for George. Only infidels choose Ringo. But it doesn't really matter because after the fact they are all named Ernie.
When the boy turns 13 he creates a diorama depicting the boys favorite scene from 'I Love Lucy'. Ernie the beetle is caged in the diorama and the whole thing is set alight in the boys' familes' rumpus room. The family sings a rendition of 'The Boys Are Back in Town' by Thin Lizzy in three part harmony, then extiguishes the diorama remains with a gallon of Tab.
The boy is now declared a man.

My brother just punched me for a really stupid reason and my mom isnt doing anything, HELP! what do i do?
The phone was ringing and he told my friend i wasnt home and i was all like: "dont hang up im home!!" and he was all like 'f you' and then he punched my face (i have really sensitive skin and it will bruise)and my mom was standing right there in the middle of it and didnt do anything.
SHE NEVER DOES ANYTHING WHEN HE PHYSICALLY HURTS ME!! I dont want to call the police because i have enough to do with them with custody issues but i think he needs anger management?
he always beats on me when his life is going wrong which it always is, and he is way the hell bigger than me and older by only one year. What can i do about this? I'm serious about this, i feel like my life is in danger and there is no one out there to help me. My mom just shrugged it off, thats it and my face is frikkin stinging!!
WHAT CAN I DO? WHO can i get to come see him, im serious he has problems and i dont know why he takes his problems out on me but its horrible its like living in an abusive, negative hell
My brother just punched me for a really stupid reason and my mom isnt doing anything, HELP! what do i do?
take a crap in his pillowcase.
your mum needs a smack in the head, people like that shouldn't have kids.
also you should practise martial arts, after about 2 yrs your brother will be no longer a problem you'll own him.
in the mean time you need to think smart. Find something that you can have over him even if you need to create the situation yourself. then use that as blackmail to prevent him doing anything to you. don't feel bad about this as it is a nessacary defence an is no where as bad as what he does. Think along the lines ofsomething that'll really stuff him up if it got out like, he cheated on his girlfriend or something to do with his job (just rough ideas).
oh and don't forget your mum, she needs to be punnished as well, but focus on the task at hand first.
good luck mate.
Reply:A swift kick to the nads should do it.
Reply:punch him back...that will fix him..im sure of it
Reply:she abts u to fight back
Reply:Talk to your school's office about this and they will be able to find your brother some help. They usually try to help you before taking desperate measures that could get your mom or brother in very bad trouble.
Reply:call the police or punch him back or grab ahold of his balls and pull them he will b on the floor cryin , or run to a neighbors house, then u should all go to family therapy
Reply:dam!
dat mus suck
idk ummmm hit him back?
Reply:If your mom didn't care when he did it to you why not do it back, just as long as don't think he will do it even worse after that.
Reply:call child services or the police! immediately!!! or the youth help line.
Reply:Um, well first punch him back! Then tell you'r mom how you feel and to start being a parent and step in.
Reply:fart on his pillow he might get pinkeye
Reply:omg, hes ur brother, get over it, all siblings physically abuse eachother, parents dont care unless ur little, so just punch him back!
Reply:Take her aside and talk to her about how it wasn't fair to not do anything. My brother does the same thing.
Reply:Call child help or tell your mom.
Reply:He probably punched you because of all the DRAMA.
Reply:HIT HIM BACK!! or kick him...
Reply:theres a thing called punch him back..it doesnt matter how big he is...
and you should talk to your mother about this..if she doesnt do anything about what is she really good for and why would she let somebody hurt you like this.
Reply:wow ask your dad
Reply:Cut his hair while he is sleeping!!!!!! That's what i'd do.
Reply:pull a knife on him. do something to get back at him
Reply:You need to press charges on his ***. Your Mom needs to pull her head out of the sand and put a stop to that crap. It is not cute or child's play when he is doing it to hurt you. You tell your Mom to put a stop to it or else you will have no choice to go to the authorities. Take it seriously or she won't. And yes, she needs to be the one to put a stop to it, because it is her house.
Reply:pop his freaking balls :) i did it to my bro
Reply:Hire a bodyguard. Or at least someone to rough him up a little. Or, fight with a weapon. If he wanted fair he'd find someone his own size.
Reply:You need to call the police. If you have coustdy problem with coustdy issues will only get worse if anyone finds out you live with an abusive person and don't do anything about it. Press charges, let him know it isn't ok.
Reply:You can file charges against him and your mom and go live with another relative. Maybe that will straighten both of them out. Good Luck. Call 911
Reply:I feel sorry for you. Do you have any good cousin or friend you could go live with? My sister, when she was a teen, took one of her friends into our house when things were not going well for her at home. My parents were cool with it, and for me it was like having another sister.
Reply:Sit down and talk. You need to tell your mom how you feel. If she doesn't do anything, talk to an adult you trust like a guidance teacher. However, keep the fact that it's normal for brothers and sister to fight in mind. Also, you should talk to your brother. DONT hit him back! That can only make problems worse.
Reply:well first off u cant do much about ur brother
but there's definately something wrong with ur mom
ur brother's acting like this because he knows ur mom wont do anything about it and is use to the idea that he can physically abuse u
if ur mom did something about it in the first place, like most parents would do the first time ur brother hit u would've been his last
u definately need to tell an adult....either someone else like ur dad, uncle, aunt, grand parents
if not, then ur teachers
Reply:There is no way to solve this without getting the authorities involved if you're under 18 Honey. I suggest you seek the help of a school counselor and/or neutral family member. That house is dangerous and both your brother and mother are committing criminal offenses. I know that's hard to hear, but your mother's job is to protect you, and she's not doing that. Please seek help now. If you're both living in that house, a restraining order won't do anything, and you can't get one without involving the courts. Do it before you end up in the hospital. It will also force your brother to get some help.
Reply:find him a girlfriend,that way he will be too busy to worry about hitting you.
Reply:Find an older and larger friend who will take your brother and impress on him that if you get hit, he (your brother) will get hit twice. 2 for one. The next time it will be three for one. And so on.
If you can't beat them, find someone who can. Forget schools and counselors and lawyers - speak a language your brother can understand. A fist.

Please help me with my sister?!?!?
Please help!
My sister has weird anxiety issues.
She can't do stuff with her hands like putting on make-up or building things, etc. She doesn't ever understand technology.
She feels sick when she has to talk on the phone. She doesn't like telling good friends about her problems.
She's uncomfortable doing stuff she doesn't know how to do already, and she just won't do it if she doesn't understand.
Tonight she has a make-up party to go to, and she's terrified because she doesn't like the feel of lotion on her skin or of putting make-up on in front of people.
She feels down about herself all the time and we don't know what to do.
What's wrong with her and what should we do about it?
She's really getting on my nerves and I can't stand her panicking anymore!!
Please help me with my sister?!?!?
I kind of led a sheltered early life and so many things are hard for me to do on my own. If she really dosent like wearing makeup, then let her go without, it wont kill her not to wear it. as for the party, give an excuse not to go or have her go and just watch the other girls and socialize. this is very hard to do, but I manage to do it if I have to go into one of these difficult situation. If anyone asks why she is not joining in, have her tell them she has a severe skin problem and has a bad allergic reaction to many lotions, cremes, etc. that should make them leave her alone.
as for the other things..... I dont know.
good luck.
Reply:It sounds like a form of Obsessive Cumpulsive Disorder (OCD) I have it too, but not to that extent. She should go see a doctor about this.
Reply:There is something seriously wrong with her, and her phobia is severely impacting her daily life. You need to get her to a doctor and a psychiatrist for a full evaluation - therapy and medication could help her manage and eventually cure her condition.
Reply:well my friend has anxiety issues and she takes medicated pills for it. but when she forgets to take em...prepare for a meltdown...
Reply:take her to a doctor and see what they say about it.
Reply:tell her to go see a doctor. or a shrink....was she sheltered as a kid??? maybe something happened to her in the past that caused her to panic all the time now. i have a friend like that, but her parents never let her do anything as a kid, so now, she's like afraid of the world......either way, i'd get her to see a doctor. ....good luck :D
Reply:Your sister has problems, i know you probably try to get her to do stuff, but she won't. You need professional help, help her find it. Be supportive, and understanding
Reply:TELL HER YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
AND TELL HER YOU LIKE HER CLOTHES SHOES HER SKIN HER HAIR THE COLOR OF HER EYES ETC.............
THATS ALL MAKE HER FEEL HAPPY ABOUT HER SELF
Reply:she should go to the doctors because its seems that shes aphobic to a lot of things.... and its not normal..... so she can be treated.
Reply:Sounds like she definitely needs some help. I would start with you family Physician and see who he recommends she be referred to. If you can't afford it or don't have medical insurance you can try your local County Health or local Mental Health Clinic for help.
Reply:You could begin helping by being her sister, being loving and more supportive. Anxiety and OCD, which is what it sounds like your sister suffers from, can be very debilitating, crippling to those who suffer from them. She should know she is loved no matter what and also be seeing a good doctor, there are many medications that help relieve these horrible symptoms. Good luck and God bless you both.
Reply:First, tell her not to feel weird. The brain is an organ and it too can get sick, just like your lungs, your tonsils, your liver etc. The problem is that when our brains are sick they cause very weird effects. Most behavioral conditions can be attributed to an imbalance in neurotransmitters (serotonin is a big one). There are various medications that can help with this. But first she has to get diagnosed properly so she must see a psychiatrist. Then she can get proper medication. I know it sounds bad and most people don't like the fact of 'being on meds' but remind her that diabetics do it all the time, so do people with blood-pressure problems, etc. She's not cuckoo or anything. She just needs a little stabilizer. When she does finally get better she can think back and realize how senseless her fears were. But right now she won't see that. Good luck!

BCG vaccine reaction - lymph bump in neck?
My baby developed a major reaction to his BCG vaccine - 6 weeks after injection, a hard bump that became soft and squishy. I know that this can happen and is not a big deal. Yesterday it came to a head and is "oozing" clear liquid. My pediatrician on the phone said to just keep an eye on it, keep it clean, etc. Now we noticed a bump under the skin on his neck. Could this be his lymph nodes swelling in response to the bursting ulcer? We'll see the pediatrician on Monday, but I would love to be reassured that this is not serious. Thanks!
BCG vaccine reaction - lymph bump in neck?
Yes it could well be due to the ulcer, but you are doing the right thing in getting him seen by an expert...good luck.

My roomate has hiv and i was wondering the possibilties of contracting it.?
I've always suspected she had contracted hiv but now that i know for sure i am worried. I put alchohol on the toilet seat before i use it. I spray lysol on the phone and computer incase i have a cut and she has a cut but in the past i have slept on her bed and she sweats in her sleep and so do i. But i dont sleep there while she is on the bed. And the scariest ones are that before we knew i borrowed a pair of herr most used running shoes and i got a blister. i know her sweat was dried up in them so that worries me. and also another scary thing is she has scraped my arm before and she has long finger nails. I wonder if sometimes she doesnt wash her hands after she uses the restroom or scratches her skin when there can be dry sweat or something. Please, i soung ignorant because i am about this and i am a major worrier. If anyone knows any possibilities of any of the thing being able to contract it form please let me know whatever you know. thank you so much!
My roomate has hiv and i was wondering the possibilties of contracting it.?
HIV Facts:
1. Contagious through bodily fluids including semen, vaginal fluids, blood, or breast milk. Saliva and sweat don’t count.
2. HIV cannot live when exposed to oxygen and needs to be spread internally from person to person.
3. Can’t get it from doorknobs, kissing (unless if you drink 2 liters of someone’s saliva – but yeah right, that’s a lot!), or toilet seats.
4. Can’t be transmitted through mosquitos.
5. If she scratched you, then all she got were your skin cells. Even if you had HIV and she didn’t, she can’t get it. So you’re fine there.
6. When you had a worry about her shoes, she only sweats in her shoes and even if she had a bleeding blister it would be exposed to air and thus not transmittable.
If you really think about it – HIV is not AIDS. AIDS is the stage where people get their T-cell count so below average that the die from COLDS or FLUS – you never die from AIDS itself. Some people have HIV and never get AIDS for 50 years without medication. AIDS, when you get to that stage, has 100% death rate, but it’s actually pretty hard to catch. Which leaves room for a very dangerous theory – in order to destroy the human race, you would have to make a disease like HIV but make it easier to catch. HIV is not airbourne or from person-to-person contact. The main way to catch it is sex, but only if you bleed during the process or semen enters the body internally. Sometimes the blood droplet is microscopic, so you don’t know if you have bled or not. Some people have unprotected sex with HIV patients and don’t’ get it. Some people are unknowingly immune to the disease or jus tnever happen to contract it. Don’t worry so much. Unless you want to have sex with her or drink her breast milk or blood, don’t worry. You can share food with her.
I hope this helps your understanding!
Reply:uh, dont have sex with your roommate?
Reply:the likely hood of u contracting it slim.But, keep doing what ur doing just in case.
Reply:I would move out, it's not worth even coming close. I'm sure that she would do the same if it were the other way around and I would think that she would be understanding. you don't want to live as a paranoid person!
Reply:You are not going to get HIV unless you starting having lots of sex with her. Contrary to popular belief, the HIV virus is very frail. Exposure to light, bleach, etc. will annihilate it. It cannot survive out of the body for very long.

Who else thinks the NHS is beyond a joke??
My son is waiting on a bed on the Dermatology ward, he specialist wanted him in on Friday as he has a serious skin infection, yet there are no beds as some of the beds have what the NHS call decanted patients in them, ie patients waiting to go home from other wards. So in the meantime we have to wait for the phone call and my son has had no treatment apart from his normal eczema creams.
Who else thinks the NHS is beyond a joke??
Sorry I can not agree at all!
The NHS are world class when an emergency is put in front of them. My sister had a brain haemorrhage and they saved her life, she ended up in hospital for 1 year 1 month and 24 days and in all that time she received top class care from dedicated nurses, doctors etc.
You have to realise that not all "non urgent" cases can be treated when they are supposed to be, as emergency's come up all the time.
I appreciate its your lad and I hope he gets better soon, but please, give the NHS a bit of slack, people only ever slag them off, you hardly ever see people speak well of it.
Looking after 60 million people is not an easy task!!!
Reply:yeh it is a joke because too much money is spent on people needing treatment through their own fault like alcoholics,smokers e.t.c
Reply:For £75 a month you can join bupa if you feel that hard done by.
Reply:I really hope your son gets better soon.
However, I used to have a low opinion of the NHS until I moved abroad and became seriously ill. I then realised how lucky I am to be a British citizen.
Reply:We don't have it here in the USA but I can tell you our system is badly flawed as well, it costs so much $ to have health insurance that many can not afford it.....I pay over 200 in dollars......(about 100 euros I think) and have a 15k deductible. And still have to wait a month to see a dr.....so it sucks here too.
Reply:I do not agree with your criticism of the NHS and is a typical response from a small minority who demand instant attention and complain from the rooftops!
Your son is plainly not an urgent case and like many other organisations, you must join the queue and wait. When your son is seen he will get excellent care.

I would also like stuff you can go to any store to buy !
I`ve got zits on my chin and .... need help?
Try Cetaphil at the drugstore or Target..almost anywhere. Don't touch the area with your fingers. And keep your hair clean and off your face. The teenage years are horrid! My daughter still uses the Cetaphil and she is now in hers 30's. She started at 12 using this cleanser and it worked without drying the skin out. Don't wash but maybe in the morning and then at night before bed. Make sure you use a good skincare system also. Moisturize for oily skin ...it's out there...try Arbonne website. It's made from essential oils and you will love it. Best stuff out there...I should know, I've tried them all.

Reply:Try tea tree oil. I use a mild moisturizer and I like to mix in a little bit of tea tree oil before I put it on my face. Tea tree oil works good as a spot treatment too. It smells quite strong at first, but the scent fades after a few minutes.
Reply:Differin, it a acne medication that works great
Reply:Use zink it total works

Reply:I have no acne usually, but when I do it always occurs on my chin. Toothpaste works wonders, but just as a warning: don't leave it on too long!

Reply:Wash with Cetaphil, use the bar form for dry sensitive skin becuase the oily skin formula cleanser has oil in it %26amp; you don't want more oil. Then get panoxyl aqua gel 10% benzoyl peroxide cream. I have severe oily skin %26amp; this keeps my face clear from Zits.

Reply:Have you first tried products like Neutrogena, Clearasil, etc? They have salicylic acid in them which helps to clear your pimples and eliminate them. Personally, a good one is Oil free Acne Wash by Neutrogena. If you have tried salicylic acid and it hasn't worked for you, then try something stronger like benzoyl peroxide. That's the ingredient they use in Proactiv. I have used Proactiv and it worked for a while and then just stopped and it got too expensive for a high school student, so I decided to try something else. I now use Acnefree, a product from University Medical. You can find it stores like Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, or even try a free kit, but you pay for s%26amp;h at acnefree.com. It has a three step system similar to Proactiv, only difference is there is more amount of benzoyl peroxide in Acnefree. It is very affordable, max $20. If you are starting anything with BP, make sure you start off slow to get your skin accustomed to it and then gradually increase the amount of medication on your face.
Remember that every product does not work on everybody, this worked on me but it might not work on somebody else. But the important thing is to try things out otherwise you will never find anyting that works for you.
A good home remedy is lemon juice with cucumber juice, mix it up and spread it on your face.
Reply:well use baking soda and water
or apple cider viniger
or lemon
or almond oil
tooth past doesnt work for me either but i find this stuff does, and water really does help even though it tasts gross lol wash your face when you wake up in the morning and when you go to sleep. hope this helps :)

Reply:Screw all those answers before me. toothpaste is NOT a good answer. I have a nice home remedie that made my skin clear up a lot! What you do is take a teaspoon of ground cinnamon (dont add sugar!) and mix it with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Lemon juice is very healthy for the skin. At first, it may burn like hell, but its sooooo worth it! (IT may burn baddddddddddddd) but it works so good. Try it and let me know how you like it. my skin sounds a lot like yours. this remedy made my face much less oily!

Please answer honestly....?
Lets just say that your 12 year old daughter tore a small patch of skin off your 9 year old daughters face in a fit of rage. She is grounded from the phone and computer. When people ask you in front of both daughters what happened, would you answer honestly? Would you embarrass your daughter more? Why or why not?
Please answer honestly....?
Maybe the 9 year old was the one who started the fight. Don't purposely try to embarrass your 12 year old daughter just because you think that your 9 year old is better or more whatever. She probably feels bad enough without you her mother treating her like crap. Like shes nothing!
Reply:I'd answer honestly. At 12, she should be able to control her rage, and not lash out at someone younger, smaller and weaker. It's getting what she deserves. She has to deal with the consequences of her actions.
Edit: I'm sorry, but nothing that a nine year old could do would warrant physical assault from her sister. Violence is violence, no matter which way you paint it. She should still have the mind to control her actions or accept the consequences. There is no excuse (especially "but she started it!") for being violent towards another person.
Reply:Just say they had a spat.
If they want to know more tell them "you have to ask them about it."
Reply:I would just say "it's a family matter" and leave it at that. It's nobody's business - and your kids deserve their privacy - even if what your daughter did was wrong.
Reply:I probably would not tell them anything, I do not like everyone knowing my personal business.
Your daughter needs to know what she did is very wrong and that she is at the age where she can control her rage, no matter how mad her sister makes her.
Reply:dont embarass her more. It could have been an accident and telling people and making her feel worse could cause her to act out even worse. Its no ones business to ask personally, but if you want to tell people something, then just let them know that it was an accident.
Reply:I wouldn't go into detail, I would simply say that the girls got into a fight and that it was an accident. Personally, I think you're being way too easy on your daughter. Ripping a patch of skin off of someone is not a small deal. Grounding her from the outside world and the TV for a month as well would be better. But that is just my opinion.
Reply:no, i would say she fell and scraped her face or something. you don't want everyone to get the idea that you can't control your kids or that they hate each other...
Reply:I would just say to people that she hurt her sister and not go into specifics, im sure she already feels bad about what she has done and her feeling humiliating in front of other people will only give her bad self esteem
Reply:I'd answer honestly but just say that your two kids got in a squabble, no details. You don't want to lie about it.
But seriously, your 12 year old should be punished more than just from the phone and the computer. She shouldn't be able to hang out with friends for a while either - that is really awful that she hurt your 9-year-old that badly. If it was just a scratch, no biggie, but a small patch of skin? eeks.
Reply:First off, your 12 year old needs to be grounded from more that just the phone and computor. She needs to be grounded from everything and make her *** do chores. That is totally unexceptable. If I were to have done that to my brother when I was younger, I would have gotten my *** beat and grounded for 2 months. I don't encourage beating a child, lol. That was my father though, I hate him. Anyways, she needs to know that it was wrong, i'd embarass her to the fullest. She deserves to know what she did was wrong and if it happens again, that is what would happen.
Reply:tell the truth to see if they see if they see how stupid it sounds and looks.
they should also get beat not taking away computer cuz thats not how you punish someone.
my mom spanked me and stuff and that fixed me right up.
you have to learn how to discipline your kids!!
Reply:i can see why your embarrass i mean i would i think you you have to decide to tell or not and i think it is a bit personal but if you want to tell you will just have to get used to the embarrasment
Reply:I would answer honestly.
Reply:whoa ur daughter tore a peice of skin of her sisters face when people ask tell ur daughter to tell them if she is there if she isn't u cna tell them then she will know for sure wat she did was wrong
Reply:It would depend on who the people were. If they were total strangers or just acquaintances, I would feel that it was none of their business.
If it was family, I would have probably told them right after it happened. What can I say...I'm close to my family.
And I'm in shock that you say this is your 9 year olds fault. Regardless of what this child did, NOTHING deserves physical abuse. That is absolutely absurd to even think. That is basically saying that if you say/do something wrong, you deserve to be physically hurt....That's not what we teach children!
Reply:Be honest. The older sister screwed up more, but if both made mistakes, both have to learn from them. People knowing about their mistakes is part of that process.

I have a visible lump under my middle toe on my left foot and a non visible lump behind my left nipple?
Im a 16 year old male, between average and obese in weight (If that is in any way important...) The toe lump is on my left foot and is under my middle toe, on the first part, not the end of the toe, sorta under the bone. The veins go OVER the lump, its hard to touch but I cant slightly move it...It isnt sore at all, I only noticed it because it looked odd. I have a flashlight on my phone and when held to one side of the lump It is very white, when done to normal skin you just see a pinkish red glow, but for the lump it is very white, as if its a pocket of hard liquid? Maybe? (fingernail wide and probly like 5 -8? cms tall). Now the nipple one worries me a bit more, I first noticed it when I got friend punched on my nipple and it hurt a bit (not ALOT), it came and went in about a month...its back now. its just like a lump, it only hurts when bothered. It kinda clicks if squezzed a bit, at times it isnt noticable when touched, but others it is. I couldnt really describe how it feels..
I have a visible lump under my middle toe on my left foot and a non visible lump behind my left nipple?
The lump on your toe really needs to be looked at. It does not sound like a joint problem. You may have accidentally injured it at one time, possibly broke it and that is how it healed. The spot on your nipple also should be looked at. It may be just scar tissue from the pinch, but it should not hurt. It is possible for men to get breast cancer. Don't take these problems lightly. They could be simple to solve, but you never know. SEE MD.
Reply:Have you told your parents about these lumps? If not, please tell them and get to the doctor as soon as possible. They may be nothing but it is better to be safe than sorry. It is not unheard of for a man to get breast cancer. I am not sure what to make of the lump on your toe. Just get them check out.
Good Luck,
Quin
Reply:geeez....ask a doctor
Reply:See doctor,men can get breast cancer.And the lump on your toe may get bigger and make it hard to move toe later.And be harder to remove if bigger.Could also cause more problems at later date,when you get older.Find out what it is.
Reply:gawdd please go to the dr.....best thing to do
Reply:it is normal for some males to have a small unseeable hard bit in the nipple area (you seem to have it exactly where i have mine) however its important to know exactly what it is, therefore you'd be best going to a doctor for reasurance. when i went to a doctor for the same thing i was assured it was a normal part of puberty, but it helps to be checked out just the same.
the clicking and such may be explained by the impact you had rupturing a few veins, which may make it a little bit sore.
the foot lump sounds like it may be a ferruca, or something similar. if you can, try slowly using a pin to pierce the surface ( just take the top of the skin off, dont bluntly puncture it) then try squeezing around the area. sometimes dirt can be trapped underneath the skin and cause mild infections, which would be similar to what you describe.
overall i'd say you'd be best seeing a doctor for reassurance, but for now you shouldn't really worry too much about either of these.

Reply:it is normal for some males to have a small unseeable hard bit in the nipple area (you seem to have it exactly where i have mine) however its important to know exactly what it is, therefore you'd be best going to a doctor for reasurance. when i went to a doctor for the same thing i was assured it was a normal part of puberty, but it helps to be checked out just the same.
the clicking and such may be explained by the impact you had rupturing a few veins, which may make it a little bit sore.
the foot lump sounds like it may be a ferruca, or something similar. if you can, try slowly using a pin to pierce the surface ( just take the top of the skin off, dont bluntly puncture it) then try squeezing around the area. sometimes dirt can be trapped underneath the skin and cause mild infections, which would be similar to what you describe.
overall i'd say you'd be best seeing a doctor for reassurance, but for now you shouldn't really worry too much about either of these.

Attention: anyone know about ancanthosis nigeria? I have signs on the inside of my legs and can't get rid of i
After years of seeing this possible ancanthosis nigeria on the upper inside of my legs, I can't seem to get a doctor to get the right meds to rid my body of this unsightly outbreak. I've had this for many many years now. Am borderline diabetic. Dermatologists I've seen all come up with a different diagnosis... I'm tired, I need a referral to a doctor who knows for sure. Please send a name, address and phone number; i'm desperate. Having look on the net, i've seen pics of ppl with same like skin conditions but again have a hard time getting the right meds from doctors. Being 1/2 Native American, I've been told as late by a NP that its my "native genes" showing on my regions (groin, underarms, and back of neck and ears). UN-BELIEVABLE. Would appreciate your feedback asap. Thanks.
PS. I have been told it related to diabetes... help me pls.
Attn. Ancanthosis Nigeria , Diabetes? Help me pls.?
Acanthosis is a sign of severe insulin resistence/ obesity. It is helped with weight loss, insulin sensitizing medications such as metformin and you can use a 2% salac lotion to the areas which will help fade the areas. However, You should absolutely have your insulin levels evaluated both fasting and postprandial. you need to see an endocrinologist. Type II diabetes can be very damagingh without symptoms until it is too late.
Reply:If you are a boderline diabetic, it may not be acanthosis nigricans. On the otherhand, if you have had diabetes for years, you can't still be boderline. If it is truly AN, there is no cure for it. Your diabetologist/endocrinologist will be able to suggest better ways of dealing with it. Maybe she/he will be able to refer you to a specialist dermatologist. Anyway check out this site I am giving you. There are many more like this.

It is acanthosis nigricans.It is harmless.Sometimes due to diabetes,obesity and also familial.With treatment it is difficult to remove the pigmentation.

I have trichotillomania. It has gone and come back several times in my life.?
First when I was 11, the second when 18 probably went for a year. The thing is, I didn't decide to stop and stop(although I decided to stop several hundreds of times). I just eventually stopped, my life improved and i just stopped doing it(at the time I had a bald patch of about the size of a small mobile phone). So, it's all grown back now. But it still feels the same, itchy under the skin hot and uncomfortable - the urge is still there it always has been. So, the habit is gone but not the urge, i want the urge and the odd feeling that part of my head has, needs to go away not just the habit of pulling the hair out there. Does anyone know lots about this and can help me?
I have trichotillomania. It has gone and come back several times in my life.?
I think I have it too, I pick my eyelashes and eyebrows. Sometimes I end up with huge gaps on my eyelids, it's disgusting. Lately I've pretty much stopped and I'm just waiting for them to grow back, but I get the urge all the time. I don't think it ever goes away. You should try this site www.trichotillomania.co.uk there's heaps of information, sufferers' stories, treatment ideas etc. Good for you for getting your hair back!
Reply:I would recommend you see a therapist or preferably a psychiatrist. You may need medication to help with this. It does not mean you are crazy.

Exchanging intimate pictures with a love interest. Curious on response from females.?
I have been exchanging pictures with a love interest met at work (over cell phone). Initially casual, pictures became a lot more intimate from her. Although I did suggest more "skin" just for fun, she followed through in greater details. Now, she is backing off. Still flirty, but no more pictures since. What is your take on it?
Exchanging intimate pictures with a love interest. Curious on response from females.?

Reply:If you weren't sharing she feels like she don't have to share anymore... one sided is no fun
Reply:dude go for it, she wants you and shes waiting for you to take control now! She threw the bait and not you have to bite it!!!
Reply:well did you have her send you pictures or did she send them herself?
Reply:She probably feels a little ashamed or think you will just see her as a sex object when she wants to have your respect as well.
Reply:Maybe she is embarrassed that she sent them to you in the first place. Maybe she decided that she didn't trust you were not showing them off. I know for me I would NEVER send those kind of pictures to someone. Men like to show off and that could ruin her image.
Reply:She probably thinks your going to share them with others or she just lost interest .....
Reply:cell phones are not a good way to take pics, what happens if some one should get hold of that phone.
Reply:maybe she realized what she'd been doing, and thought it might ruin the relationship you guys had before. or maybe one of you sent a pic that she thought was a bit too risque for her tastes and just decided that it would be better not to entice your hormones too much, jsut give her time, if she wants you bad enough, the pics will prolly be back... :)
Reply:I think she might have gone to far with the more skin detail, and is just backing off for a bit. No worries though, continue the relationship, and have fun.
Reply:maybe she just got bored of doing the pics because u probably didnt send any back
Reply:I think that intimate pictures are something that ppl do when "caught up in the moment" and it may be an "impulse" action...not very well thought through. Perhaps she is rethinking her position and actions. I'm sure that she is interested, but she probably is wondering what you think of her skin pics.

After you've waxed, have you ever had a skin problem? like a burnt mark?
Ive waxed my tummy for over a year and stayed with the SAME wax brand during the whole time and never had an issue.
About a 6 months ago I waxed and around my belly button and I followed directions as usual and It hurtt so bad when pulling it off, then I noticed a RED PATCH (where I waxed) wasnt going away, it got worse, went to the DOCTORS and he was shocked, it was like I had been BURNT, my was skin shrivvling. I still have the SCAR, have you heard of this???
I phoned the company and they were shocked too after asking 100 questions. They said sorry and sent out a $20 money order. Do you reckon its their fault and if so, do you reckon I let them off easy?
After you've waxed, have you ever had a skin problem? like a burnt mark?
I have had similar problems, maybe the wax was too hot and i burned myself or maybe i took off a decent chunk of skin with my eyebrows, but after a home waxing job I once had a scar under my eyebrow for at least 8 months. I hate to say it, but if it was a home waxing kit, it was probably an error on your part. It's easy to forget how delicate skin is and you probably injurered your skin and then it got irritated or infected.
Reply:Quit waxing. Be natural. Shave.
Reply:sounds like u were using a hot wax method??? Wax too hot before you applied it? lol i actually have an active question looking for a brand for waxing my chest because the razors are rippin me up and i don't want to have to get it professionally done when i can do it myself.

What make up should i wear for evryday? (pic INCLUDED)=)?
All MAC Cosmetics:
You have very pretty skin, so you don't need a lot of heavy foundation.
1) MAC Hyperreal: light weight liquid that has small amount of shimmer for a dewy look
2) MAC Blot Powder: Loose: Dust over face to set foundation
Eyes color can be anything! Hazel eyes are so lucky! You don't have to worry about color contrasts. Be careful of the undertones. If you are too pale, dark yellow golds will make you look sick. Too gray in color, and you will look sickly. Here is what I recommend.
1) Base: MAC Paint in Bare Canvas (fleshtone color), will hold your eyeshadow and not crease
2) Base: Naked Lunch: from lash line to crease: A very pretty neutral shimmery peach. Will go with ANYTHING!
3) Highlight: Shroom: Pretty pearl shade, light shimmer, use on browbone
4) Crease: Soba: Really pretty light-medium brown. Blend in crease.
5) Liner: Engraved Powerpoint Liner: non-smudging eyeliner that will glide on. Use on top and bottom.
6) Zoomlash Mascara: You eyes will look so much bigger with this! Best Mascara ever! One coat will do ya.
7) Cheeks: Bronzer! Don't go for the orange look, use a neutral brown. MAC Refined Golden. Dust on temples, cheekbones, and jawline. Will sculpt the face and give you a healthy glow without the attack of the Oompa Loompa.
8) I would play up your lips! Try MAC Lipglass in Prrr. Beautiful peachy pink. Line your lips with Oak lip pencil and then put on the Prrr. Will work EVERY time!
Hope this helps
Reply:A simple lip gloss would help.
Reply:it really all depends on what you feel like wearing that day but some mascara, lipgloss is what you would wear everyday and if you wanted to dress it up some eyeliner and eyeshadow =D
Reply:eyes- dark brown eyeliner and black mascara (try maybelline products)
face- first wash it, then apply a lotion (i use clinque, its yellow).
cheeks- apply some bronzer on the apples, forehead, and chin (but just a hint!)
lips- dont over do, just a lip balm and some pinkish lip gloss
hope this helps
Reply:You have a pretty face. I don't think you really need makeup.
If you wanted, the basics are: dark eyeliner (for pale skin), and warm neutral eyeshadow colors for dark hazel eyes. Since you have brown hair and eyes, it is suggested that your makeup is warm-colored. I highly do not suggest dark red, or dark lip glosses/lipstick. It's all up to you though.
Reply:u have got a good face...well i thnk u will need just abit lite ..very lite eyeliner...abit of concealer and very lite lipgloss or lipstick in pink....just apply these and there u go for ur everyday work...
Reply:Eyeshadow:
Try different browns, especially chocolate tones. Browns and dark greens with copper or gold highlights are also a great choice.
Apricots and taupes are good choices for highlighters.
Dark purples, plums and metallics work too. Coppers and golds will make a really glamorous evening look for makeup tips for green eyes. I personally really like the way deep purples look with dark green eyes.

First up, blues. Any color of blue doesn't do green eyes justice. I would recommend avoiding light blues, dark blues and even some colors (purples or pinks) with blue undertones.
Pinks are also a hard color to judge. Some can look really, really good and others can look really, really bad. This is usually a matter of trial and error.
Silvers are not a good choice either. Leave them for the blue eyes.
Eyeliner:
Unless you really like black eyeliner, it's usually a color to avoid. Try steely grays or chocolate browns. Use gold or white to open up the eye if your eyes are small.
Lip gloss and maybe some Mascara would look nice also.

What make up should i wear for evryday? (pic INCLUDED)=)?
All MAC Cosmetics:
You have very pretty skin, so you don't need a lot of heavy foundation.
1) MAC Hyperreal: light weight liquid that has small amount of shimmer for a dewy look
2) MAC Blot Powder: Loose: Dust over face to set foundation
Eyes color can be anything! Hazel eyes are so lucky! You don't have to worry about color contrasts. Be careful of the undertones. If you are too pale, dark yellow golds will make you look sick. Too gray in color, and you will look sickly. Here is what I recommend.
1) Base: MAC Paint in Bare Canvas (fleshtone color), will hold your eyeshadow and not crease
2) Base: Naked Lunch: from lash line to crease: A very pretty neutral shimmery peach. Will go with ANYTHING!
3) Highlight: Shroom: Pretty pearl shade, light shimmer, use on browbone
4) Crease: Soba: Really pretty light-medium brown. Blend in crease.
5) Liner: Engraved Powerpoint Liner: non-smudging eyeliner that will glide on. Use on top and bottom.
6) Zoomlash Mascara: You eyes will look so much bigger with this! Best Mascara ever! One coat will do ya.
7) Cheeks: Bronzer! Don't go for the orange look, use a neutral brown. MAC Refined Golden. Dust on temples, cheekbones, and jawline. Will sculpt the face and give you a healthy glow without the attack of the Oompa Loompa.
8) I would play up your lips! Try MAC Lipglass in Prrr. Beautiful peachy pink. Line your lips with Oak lip pencil and then put on the Prrr. Will work EVERY time!
Hope this helps
Reply:A simple lip gloss would help.
Reply:it really all depends on what you feel like wearing that day but some mascara, lipgloss is what you would wear everyday and if you wanted to dress it up some eyeliner and eyeshadow =D
Reply:eyes- dark brown eyeliner and black mascara (try maybelline products)
face- first wash it, then apply a lotion (i use clinque, its yellow).
cheeks- apply some bronzer on the apples, forehead, and chin (but just a hint!)
lips- dont over do, just a lip balm and some pinkish lip gloss
hope this helps
Reply:You have a pretty face. I don't think you really need makeup.
If you wanted, the basics are: dark eyeliner (for pale skin), and warm neutral eyeshadow colors for dark hazel eyes. Since you have brown hair and eyes, it is suggested that your makeup is warm-colored. I highly do not suggest dark red, or dark lip glosses/lipstick. It's all up to you though.
Reply:u have got a good face...well i thnk u will need just abit lite ..very lite eyeliner...abit of concealer and very lite lipgloss or lipstick in pink....just apply these and there u go for ur everyday work...
Reply:Eyeshadow:
Try different browns, especially chocolate tones. Browns and dark greens with copper or gold highlights are also a great choice.
Apricots and taupes are good choices for highlighters.
Dark purples, plums and metallics work too. Coppers and golds will make a really glamorous evening look for makeup tips for green eyes. I personally really like the way deep purples look with dark green eyes.

Post-Dermabrasion?
Sorry if this question is repeated... can't see the first positing. I had a dermabrasion procedure on a scar on my left cheek in the middle of March. The area is still slightly discolored (light brownish). I can no longer tell whether it's still in a stage of healing or is done healing and I'm left with some discoloration around the site (sun damage?? I was so careful!). My plastic surgeon mentioned the possibility of bleaching cream without actually seeing the site (he told me over the phone). I'm really nervous that will make the site LIGHTER than the rest of my skin.
.. One more thing.. my left eyelid is still a little swollen. Does anybody have any idea how long it takes for the swelling to go away? The doctor kept comparing the procedure to something similar to being burned. Any advice would be great, thanks!
Post-Dermabrasion?
I am no dermatologist, but my wife and daughter had this procedure done to reduce acne scars. The dermabrasion can be traumatic to the skin, After three or more months, healing should be complete. I would suggest going to the dermatologist to get a professional, personal opinion about further treatment, certainly before you try the bleaching cream.

Have a lymph node in my upper jaw that popped what do i do?
Is there anything i need to be concerned about if a lymph node popped under my skin.
What happened is that i was rubbing where this bump was under my skin right at the intercection of my jaw bone and the bottom of my ear lobe.
it popped and then my whole body started sweating and i got kinda shaky for a little bit. heart racing and all that called the hospital but they told me that they couldn't tell me anything over the phone about it. the last time i went to the emergency room about anything it cost over 6k?....meh anyway if anyone has any answers it would be great.
Have a lymph node in my upper jaw that popped what do i do?
did it pop or sewll up? if it just swelled up that means ur getiing sick or you have a cold. i just went to the doctor for a swollen lymnod. they go away naturally
Reply:Well, to start with, you can't "pop" a lymph node.
Maybe a cyst. I think you had a mild anxiety attack.
Reply:First off I'm not in the medical profession at all....jmho.....
You should seek medical attention promptly. I wouldn't be concerned until u say tht you started sweating and got a bit shaky.
What's more important??? Money or living??
Sometimes it's worth the peace of mind.

What do you think? funny? It's long but stick with it. Pun intended?
One of my favourites.
So, do you WAX?????
Only a woman can laugh at this. No one else would dare! Hope you enjoy!
This has to be one of the funniest and most awful scenarios I have ever
heard of... Bless this woman!!!
All hair removal methods have tricked us with their promises of easy,
painless removal. The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair, and now.... The Wax!!
My night began as any other normal weekday night. Come home; fix dinner;
played with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my
mind for the next few hours; "Maybe I should do the hair removal thing for
the month?"
So I headed to the site of my demise; the bathroom. It was one of those cold
wax kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in
your hand and then they get warm and you peel them apart, press it to your
leg (or wherever else) and hair comes right off! No mess, no fuss. How hard
can it be? I mean, I'm no girly, girl, but am mechanically inclined enough
that I can figure it out.
*YA THINK!!!*
So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each together,
stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, I get out the hairdryer
and heat it to 1000 degrees. Cold wax my r e a r end (Oh, how this phrase
haunts me!).
I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull.
OK... So it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do
this!!!
Hair removal no longer eludes me!! I am She-Ra, fighter of all wayward body
hair and smooth skin extraordinaire!!
With my next wax strip, I move "north". After checking on the kids, I sneak
back into the bathroom for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop
my p a n t i e s and place one foot on the toilet.
Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of the
bikini line, covering the right half of my 'you know what' and stretching down to the
inside of my b u t t cheek (Yes, it was a long strip). I inhale deeply and
brace myself....
RRRRIIIIIIPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
I'm Blind!!!!! Blinded from pain!!!!!!... OH DEAR GOD !!!!!!!!!!!
I'm making noises that only dogs can hear .
Vision slowly returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half
of the strip. S**T!!! Another deep breath and RRIIPP...
Everything is swirly and spotted . I cannot breath or speak - I have
forgotten how ..
Do I hear crashing drums?????
Wait a few minutes and I'm back to normal (nearly) After all this I want to
see my trophy !!! - A wax covered strip with my hairy pelt that has caused
me so much pain, sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my
triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip!
There's no hair on it!
Where is the hair?? WHERE IS THE WAX? Slowly I ease my head down, foot still
perched on the toilet. I see the hair... The hair that should be on the
strip. I touch. I am touching wax. S**T!!! I run my fingers over the most
sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair.
Then I make the next BIG mistake . . . . . .
Remember, my foot is still propped up on the toilet. I know I need to do
something, so I put my foot down.
DAMN!!! I hear the slamming of the cell door.
V? Sealed shut!
B u t t?? Sealed shut!!!
I penguin walk around the bathroom, trying to figure out what to do and
think to myself, "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off."
Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand
into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax covered bits and the wax should
melt and I can gently wipe it off, right??
WRONG!!!!
I get in the tub - The water is slightly hotter than then that used to
torture prisoners of war or sterilise surgical equipment - I sit.
Now, the only thing worse that having your nether businesses glued together
is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub.
In scalding hot water!! (Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax) So, now
I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub!!! God bless the man what convinced me I
should have a phone in the bathroom!!! I call my friend, thinking surely
she's waxed before and has come secret of how to get me undone. It's a very
good conversation starter, "So my b u t t and who-ha are stuck to the bottom of the tub!
There is a slight pause. She doesn't have a secret trick, but does try to
hide the laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is
located.
"Are we talking b u t t o c k cheek or is it covering - you know -
Everywhere(cringe factor 20000 at this point) ?"
She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and
she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.
YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!
I should be the 'b u t t' of someone else's work-night jokes.
While we go through various solutions, I resort to scraping the wax off with
a razor. Nothing feels better then to have your girlie goodies covered in
hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water, and then dry
shaving the sticky wax off!!!
By now, the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I slip
into glazed donut land. My friend is still talking with me and my hand
reaches towards the saving grace...The lotion they give you to remove the
excess wax.
What do I really have to lose at this point. I rub some on and OH MY
GOD!!!!! The scream probably woke the kids, scared the dickens out of my
friend, but I really don't care!!
"IT WORKS!! IT WORKS!!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and
she hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice, to
my grief and despair...
THE HAIR IS STILL THERE... ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I shaved it off. Heck, I'm numb at this point.
Next week I'm going to try hair colour . . . .
What do you think? funny? It's long but stick with it. Pun intended?
OMG!!!!!!!!! I actually know women who've tried this....no wonder they all have that look on their faces when I ask how their night went....LOL.....
You'll have to excuse me, I need tissue's for these tears of laughter!!!!!!!LOL
Ta very much for the joke......LOL

Another funny story, so post your comments, please. Just wanted to make everyone laugh!!?
All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of
easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and
now...the wax.
My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home,
fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would
ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull
the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of
my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No
melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand,
they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or
wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard
can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined
enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)
So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each
other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks
in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax,"
yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it
tight and . . . . . . pull. It works! OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad.
I can do this!
Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward
body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.
With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I
sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting
championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.
Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right
side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my vagina and
stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek. (Yes, it was a long strip)
I inhale deeply and brace myself.........RRRRIIIPPP!!!!
I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!.... OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half
the strip. CRAP!!! Another deep breath and RRIIPP!! Everything is
swirly and spotted. I think I may pass out...........must stay
conscious...Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to
normal.
I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has
caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel
in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip!
There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet.
I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip. I touch.
I am touching wax. CRAP! I run my fingers over the most sensitive
part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair.
Then I make the next BIG mistake.......remember my foot is still
propped up on the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my
foot down. DAMN!!!!!!!! I hear the slamming of a cell door.
Vagina? Sealed shut! Butt?? Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do
and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head
may pop off!" What can I do to melt the wax? Hot water!! Hot water
melts wax!!
I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in,
immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe
it off, right???
*WRONG!!!!!!!*
I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture
prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit. Now, the only
thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is having
them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...
in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.
So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I
had cement-epoxied myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who
had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the
bathroom!!!!!
I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some
secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation
starter - "So, my butt and who-ha are glue together to the bottom
of the tub!" There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret
tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She
wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or
hole or who-ha?" She's laughing out loud by now.....I can hear her. I
give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of
the box. YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's
night.
While we go through various solutions. I resort to scraping the wax
off with a razor . Nothing feels better then to have your girlie
goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water
and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!! By now the brain is not
working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to
need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.
My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving
grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.
What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on
and OH MY GOD!!!!!!! The scream probably woke the kids and
scared the dickens out of my friend. It's sooo painful, but I
really don't care. "IT WORKS!! It works !!" I get a hearty
congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I successfully
remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and
despair....
THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts.
I could have amputated my own leg at this point.
Next week I'm going to try hair color......
Another funny story, so post your comments, please. Just wanted to make everyone laugh!!?
LMAO. I'm in the computer lab at college, and trying to make a scene as I stifle the laugh. I think I may need to go outside, but first...
Is this a real story? If so, wow I feel your pain. But not to that extent. I've been in a waxing experiment gone wrong situation myself. Yeah funny story. The sad thing is there are so many who do go (almost) that far to shave.
Reply:Oh yeah..it's finals week here, and I go home to two kids. That was perfect to relieve some stress. If you have more feel free to email them to me. HAHA
P.S. I didn't get kicked out of the lab for laughing, but I got quite a few looks. WORTH EVERY ONE! Report It

I too am naive in the ways of waxing, i generally shave or use immac or just keep on wearing tights (pantihose)or trousers until i cant stand the heat any more and have to defuzz, then you are left with hairless milk bottle white appengages that you are too embarrassed to show off anyway, until you decide to apply fake tan.................big mistake, unless you pay to get it done properly, or are an expert in beauty therapy, with extreme patience and the nouse to wash you hand afterwards you end up looking like someone has liberally sprayed your legs with cold tea, like you have been wading in paint, espedcially the knees and the palms of your hands.

easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and
now...the wax.
My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home,
fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would
ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull
the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of
my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No
melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand,
they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or
wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard
can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined
enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)
So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each
other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks
in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax,"
yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it
tight and . . . . . . pull. It works! OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad.
I can do this!
Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward
body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.
With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I
sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting
championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.
Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right
side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my vagina and
stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek. (Yes, it was a long strip)
I inhale deeply and brace myself.........RRRRIIIPPP!!!!
I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!.... OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half
the strip. CRAP!!! Another deep breath and RRIIPP!! Everything is
swirly and spotted. I think I may pass out...........must stay
conscious...Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to
normal.
I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has
caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel
in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip!
There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet.
I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip. I touch.
I am touching wax. CRAP! I run my fingers over the most sensitive
part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair.
Then I make the next BIG mistake.......remember my foot is still
propped up on the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my
foot down. DAMN!!!!!!!! I hear the slamming of a cell door.
Vagina? Sealed shut! Butt?? Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do
and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head
may pop off!" What can I do to melt the wax? Hot water!! Hot water

Hair and make-up ideas :D?
I love the hair idea and I bet brown will look really nice on you. You are a very cute girl, remember when wearing make up don't over do it or you will look trashy...try to blend it well with your skin tone and use eye colors that will make your eyes stand out. Don't wear your eyeliner too thick though because that is the main thing that will make you look trashy and outdated (like the 1980's).
Reply:k dont change ur hair at all. thats the first thing i noticed(in a good way) so dont change it its very pretty. really u dont need a makeover u look like u just had a makeover and im being honest

Hey, does this sound good so far???
Hey, how's this sound so far??? It's called the Reinvention.
Chapter 1:
A Perfectly Normal Day...sort of
MINDEE FAIRFIELD rested her chin onto her thin and delicate palm, staring out her school’s window in Beverly Hills, daydreaming. Her teacher, Mr. Barkley had been rambling on and on about the book they had just finished; The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Mindee herself had read the book in middle-school, and had done a seven hundred word essay on it too. Mindee looked around her classroom, pass Mr. Barkley who was rubbing his greasy button nose, and pass several of her classmates who were all, conveniently texting under their desks. Mindee turned back to her window. It was almost better to daydream then waste a class period texting.
Beep! Beep!
Mindee shook herself out of her second daydream, and turned her head around. Where had that noise come from?
Mr. Barkley walked around the classroom, pausing now and then to snatch iPhones and Motorazrs from students’ clutch. He stopped short at Mindee’s desk, glaring at her.
“Yes, Mr. Barkley?” Mindee said, casually.
“Ms. Fairfield, you are aware that your cellphone is ringing, correct?”
Mindee’s face turned a bright shade of red. How could she have been so stupid? Having it on during class, especially during Mr. Barkley’s!
“Hand it over, Ms. Fairfield.” Mr. Barkley said, impatiently.
Mindee reached into her desk and pulled out her Coach cosmetics bag. Inside the hidden pocket, Mindee pulled out the sleek black iPhone and checked her messages, quickly.
“Ms. Fairfield...” Mr. Barkley said, tapping his heinous brown loafer shoes on the linoleum.
“Okay, okay, hold on...it’s from my Mom?” Mindee said puzzled.
“Let me see!” Mr. Barkley ordered. In one swift movement, he snatched the phone away in and was examining it in his large hand.
“Okay, you’re off the hook this time, Ms. Fairfield. But only because it’s an emergency.”
Mindee rolled her eyes and slid her phone back into its pouch. It was a text message from her Mom, asking Mindee to have the text message relayed to the Secretary, excusing her from school at twelve-thirty, so Mindee could see her off, before she left for Minneapolis to shoot for her movie, When the Sand Runs Out.
Mindee glanced at the clock. It was almost twelve-fifteen. Fifteen more minutes until this dreaded class was over. Mindee sighed. Mr. Barkley was going on again about the book, and what F. Scott Fitzgerald was trying to tell readers...blah, blah, blah. Mindee pulled out her compact mirror from her cosmetics bag and glanced at her flawless reflection. Fair skin, dark brown curls, green eyes, and a perfect smile, obviously inherited from her mother’s side. But what Mindee wished, was that she had blond hair and sea green eyes, like the beach girls in California and Florida. She was tired of people telling her she looked exactly like her mother.
Mindee’s father, like her mother was famous. Wade Dashiell Evans was a screenplay writer. He had written over seven Oscar nominee movies, and even got one himself, for his innovative writing for ‘Torrential Rains.’ Mindee hardly ever saw much of her father. Usually he was at his studio from morning until usually the morning the next day. The only time she saw him, was for holidays. Lynn Fairfield’s schedule was usually flexible. She only did big time movies that were somewhat close to home, and only took out-of-state and out-of-country movies when she was certain that Mindee’s father was home. It was a wonder how her mother got to be a big star.
Mindee looked back at the clock and smiled to herself. It was twelve-thirty. She gathered her books into her navy blue hobo sac and stuck her cosmetics bag into the sac, haphazardly. She stood up from her chair, pushed it back in, than gestured to the door with her head to Mr. Barkley who nodded.
“Hey Mindee, where are you going?” Keely Henderson asked.
Mindee turned around slowly to face her. Keely was probably the snootiest girl at her school. She always wanted to know more about Mindee’s ‘fabulous’ life and her ‘fabulous’ parents. But truth be told, Mindee hated girls like Keely...like Keely.
“Mindeeeeeee, you know I don’t like secrets.” Keely said, forming her bee stung lips into a puffy pout.
Mindee rolled her eyes. “Yeah well, I don’t like you.”
Keely started laughing hysterically, her hand over her heart. “Now that was a good one. Call me later then.”
Mindee was surprised that Mr. Barkley could see people texting, but not see people talking.
Honk! Honk!
Mindee’s attention was toward the window now. A long sleek black limo had just parked outside their window, and honking.
“Mom...” Mindee said softly.
“Is that your Mom, Min?” Keely asked, standing up from her chair. Her red-gold tendrils bouncing at its fullest.
“Sure.” Mindee said. She finally had the courage to turn the knob and walk out.
Hey, does this sound good so far???
You have a lot of areas that need improvement. Spelling and grammar are but two. Punctuation is another. You also have a bad case of what I call JKRowlingitis. This is but another version of The Clique and so many of those other unrealistic teen girlie books out there. Which is very apparent in the use of terms like red-gold tendrils and bee sting lips. That is not your "voice". I would be willing to bet you a new computer that in your entire LIFE you have never said "Mom, can you take me to the beauty salon? I need to get my tendrils cut."
Sorry dear, but people just do not talk like that except in these novice type teenage books. There is really nothing original about it whatsoever. Unless you have some massive ideas for how to make it original, I don't see it really going anywhere.

Reply:You have some spelling and mechanics issues that really bug anal retentive me. One sees PAST someone, not pass them.
There is nothing to indicate that the message from her mother is an emergency, yet the teacher lets her off the hook...as a teacher, I'd say that's unrealistic.
Mindee's father, like her mother, comma, was famous (parenthetical)
It's an "Oscar-nominated" movie or screen play, and he had even won once.
Usually he was in his studio from morning until usually morning. Huh? Doesn't make much sense. He must sleep at some time, and two usuallys?
Then you have Keely almost swooning about the mother/movie star. People at Beverly Hills High don't care about movie stars. It's everyday for them.
It's a pretty good start, I don't know if I'm too old for it, though. Don't read a whole lot about high school aged girls, anymore.

Usually he was in his studio from morning until usually morning. Huh? Doesn't make much sense. He must sleep at some time, and two usuallys?
Then you have Keely almost swooning about the mother/movie star. People at Beverly Hills High don't care about movie stars. It's everyday for them.
It's a pretty good start, I don't know if I'm too old for it, though. Don't read a whole lot about high school aged girls, anymore.

This is my life, my sadness, told in real story format to help me get over the pain?
My partner had the idea of me writing down my story (of how I was beaten) for myself and for other people who share(d) my predicament. It would be very kind if you could also write some ideas on how to get over this. I will not be seeing a psychologist for quite some time, because I had very bad childhood experiences with them, please do not suggest it.
Tears
The tears were running down my face. I couldn’t believe it. I wanted to go back to my own little dream world a world where he, the man who I thought loved me, hadn’t hit me for one of the most trivial reasons known to mankind. He wanted sex, I didn’t. What was he, a caveman? Couldn’t he understand the word no?
I had screamed, begged, and cried, and now I was standing in the shower, being weak, and tears running down my face. Or, in reality, one couldn’t refer to them as running anymore. What was really happening could only be compared to pouring rain, the tears were pouring down my face. Or was it the shower water? I ran my tongue across my bottom lip. I tasted the salt, it tasted like sorrow. Deep sorrow and so much pain. I felt the sobs rake over my body, but I couldn’t hear them. Had the water made me deaf? No, it was the numb feeling. I could feel the bruises, but most prominent were the bruises on my heart, the ones that made every breath feel like a knife stabbing at my insides.
Do you remember the little mermaid? Not the Disney version, I mean the real folklore. In that brutal version part of the witches curse is that the little mermaid has to take every step and feel like knives are making their way into the soles of her feet. That’s what I felt like…many tiny knives making their way into my heart. With every breath more pain came. And with more pain, came more tears. I felt like I could never be clean again. I hadn’t even been able to turn the water hot enough. I could feel it scalding my skin, but it didn’t hurt as much as the bruises left behind on my heart.
Sighing deeply, I closed my eyes. “One, two, three, four, five,” I counted loudly to quiet my inner voice. All of a sudden I wrenched my eyes open, heavy breathing- his eyes. His deep blue, cold eyes were starring into mine whenever I closed them. The tears that had ceased began anew. Stronger this time. If the past minute had been pouring rain, this was a tsunami of tears. Maybe I would drown in tears I thought, no hoped to myself.
Bastard.
The word flashed through my mind. But I love him. Came next. But he doesn’t love you. Tears…more tears. Why won’t he love me? Because I’m horrible, I thought. Because I bit him, because I didn’t sleep with him. If I really loved him, I would have done it. I knew that this was true, but why didn’t I love him? He was kind to me. He beat you, and he was kind? Stupid girl. Yes, stupid girl. Stupid girl for provoking him, for biting him, for letting him hurt me. Even more tears. If I tell someone he’ll murder me. If I don’t tell someone I’ll murder myself.
The water was making me dizzy; I turned of the water and walked to the linen closet to get myself a big towel. The water was dripping between my shoulder blades, but my back was hurting, so I didn’t feel strong enough to simply wrap a towel around it. The heat had made the mirror in the bathroom useless, so I walked up the one tilted on my armoire. I knew what I would see, but the gasp still escaped my lips. Bruises, a split lip, more bruises, my cheek, where he had boxed it was a deep purple from the burst blood capillaries. Slowly I lifted the towel; the ribs not only hurt when touched, but also looked like they had been hurt. When he had touched them, touched was most definitely the wrong word, when he had abused them I had felt it. And now I could see it. It scared me more than I had thought. More tears started their tsunami approach, but none of that scared me as much as my eyes. They were dark and swollen from crying. And when one looked closer, when I looked closer I could see the hurt, the tumult going on inside my horribly muddled brain. The thoughts flying around as if they had been shot out by a pin ball machine were jumping from one end to the next. From conclusion to problem, and back again to start anew.
Pyjamas. Yes, finally, a practical thought. I went over to my closet, rummaging through the mess. Picking up the most comfortable thing I could find, my grandmother’s old dressing gown. Barefoot I stumbled into the hallway, going into the kitchen to find myself some chocolate. I needed to be soothed by something, needed it or else I would collapse. I wanted my mommy, but in a way I didn’t. I was glad to know that both of my parents were gone for the night to meet with our landlord and that my baby sister was safely parked at her babysitter’s house.
It didn’t take me long to find the chocolate, along with some tee, and a heating blanket. Walking on my tip toes I went to my bed…and just sank down on it. Setting the tea down carefully, looking at the picture of Audrey Hepburn hung high on my wall. Audrey, the role model in every situation…a woman that had in a way helped me to get through any phase in my life. When I was sad I’d pop Breakfast at Tiffanies in the VCR and have a good long cry at the, “I don’t want to put you in a cage, I want to love you,” part. Love, there we had it again. How would Audrey handle love? Audrey was married three times, she didn’t handle it very well. I wanted one love, one final love that would last me a lifetime. Nothing less and nothing more, but of course that is quite a lot to wish for.
But, this isn’t about Audrey Hepburn. This is about Katie Alee. Normal girl, also known as a complicated wreck. That’s me. And I worried about what Audrey would do, but I didn’t’ know what she would do…I only know what I did. I cried. Fell down onto my bed and sobbed away. If that wouldn’t be embarrassing enough, I sobbed words, and they were, “I want my mommy.” I sobbed those words like a mad woman also known as a toddler. Over and over again. “Mommy, mommy, mommy, help me.”
It took me a while, but at some point I moved on to asking god why he was doing this to me. I had never truly believed in god, maybe a goddess, but never god. Here I was, after minutes, though it felt like hours, of crying for my mommy begging god to tell me why I was being punished like I was. Was it because I didn’t go to church? Was I a bad girl? Was I a bad person? Yes, I had decided. Yes, I am. If I wasn’t, the universe wouldn’t be punishing me.
After that phase I sat up on my bed, drank the tea that had gotten cold by now, ate some chocolate and begged to let it work. Now, looking back on it I realise that I did a lot of begging that night. Begging for happiness and begging for answers. That would be all the begging for one night though, because what I did next would be the action that I’d regret for weeks, maybe years, to come. I stood up. Went back into the hallway, crossed over to the living room, and got the phone. Then I went back, slipped under the cool covers, and turned on the comforting heating blanket. Seconds later I was feeling warm on the outside, even if I was even colder on the inside. I dialled. Even though I didn’t like the girl I was calling very much, I knew her number by heart, because it is the number one calls when one feels alone and afraid of the world. Her name was Faith Conn and she lived about 10 minutes away from the house I had lain on the floor of just hours ago.
It rang.
She picked up, answering the phone on the third ring in that horrendously sweet voice of hers. My tongue needed to be untwisted, but I did it in time and told her who was calling. She sounded surprised, but pleased to hear from me. We chit chatted about school and our grades for a few minutes. She asked me about how I was liking honours classes, I told her that it was a challenge, but also a challenge that I craved and needed. All of a sudden she asked me how my day had been and the sobs started again. I do believe that I scared her a lot that night. Everything came tumbling out. Every fear, every move…everything I did and everything that he did. She was silent. Then she coughed, said, “What an asshole, leave him,” and that was it. My world was crashing down around me and all she had to say was that?
Next, “Why didn’t you want to sleep with him, though. You two always look so in love?”
My throat twisted again and I felt like throwing up.
“Katie?” came her question out of the receiver.
I was numb, “Because, I wasn’t ready, because…I didn’t want to, because,” every one of my “becauses” were running into one another until the tears and the sobs started and every sounded obscure and stupid and unbelievable.
She was silent, and from one second to the next her demeanour changed, “Alright, we’ll see each other in school,” and then hung up.
After that hang up, the first traces of real loneliness came tearing down on me. Who did I usually call when I was scared and alone? Him. Who couldn’t I call? Him. The Elvis lyrics came tumbling into my brain, “I’m so lonesome I could cry,” and I was. I felt like everything had left me, like nothing could ever help me again.
I got up again, this time to put make-up on, because I knew that my mother would come in to check on me as soon as she got home. This is where another battle started. How do I hide this? How? I goggled and goggled, until I found a promising side that was teaching girls how to hide hickeys. Well, this was a similar thing, it wasn’t a love bite, it was done in anger, but it had similar results. I layered the make-up on after cooling the bruises with an ice pack I usually used after dance class because my muscles would feel sore. I changed my white bedding to a very colourful one, because I was afraid that the make-up would be left behind on the linen. Laid back down, turned the heating blanket to a comfortable temperature, and stared at the ceiling. For hours and hours I didn’t move a muscle except for the one known as my brain. That muscle wouldn’t stop working. It was still making out every single scenario. Everything that could have gone differently than it had. At some point I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up whimpering.
Have you ever woken up crying? Probably not, it is not a very pleasant thing to happen. Now, I had the wonderful act of waking up crying at 4 in the morning. I felt like a bus had hit me, even worse like a bus had hit me and I would never get up again. I wanted to die. It was as simple as that. A stronger person than me would have probably done it, but as always, I was too much of a coward to just walk into the bathroom, get out the aspirin, and take ten. I knew that it would have killed me. I’m small I’m not even allowed to take the adult dose of medicine. Ten little pills would have been enough, but I didn’t do it. Couldn’t do it because I was too afraid of dying.
I wasn’t sure why I was crying. Yes, the images kept playing in my head, over and over again. His eyes, his cold, dark blue eyes making their way into mine…his hands, which were cold and sweaty, but most of all much too strong. Why couldn’t I be a jazz dancer? I mean, ballet was hard and all, but I did not give you the type of muscles used to fend of an attacker. So, there were the images and then of course the pain. Everything ached. I could not point out a single part of my body that didn’t hurt. My eyes hurt from crying, my hands from shielding myself, my face from the obvious, and even my teeth hurt.
Before my mind got a chance to start up again I swung my legs out of bed, wincing in the process, but still going on. Fantastic, was my first thought. He robs me of my dignity and of my ability to just do what needs to be done. He was making the usual act of just going numb a lot harder. This wasn’t numb, this hurt. It hurt like hell…
Padding back into the kitchen to make myself a sandwich, looking out the window to see that the parents had gotten home already. After I made the sandwich I went downstairs to the basement. Turned on the TV and smiled as the On Demand welcome screen popped up. I needed comedy, so Sex and the City it was. Four hours of Samantha’s lucid sexscapades later I was sitting there. I didn’t laugh at all. I was just sitting there, glad to hear some sort of noise. Afraid of the quiet, because I knew that the silence would be filled by my never ending sobs very quickly. I wanted to be strong, I didn’t want to cry anymore, didn’t want to think about what had happened, but the more I tried not to think, the more I thought, the more I cried.
He had always been hurtful. Had always hurt me mentally, once or twice slapped me, but I never thought about it. Sure, he was a real man…he was never gentle, he was like a boxing champion. Always rough. A man that always took that roughness for passion. I didn’t know what had happened to him in his past to make him so incapable of just being gentle. Of just holding me. That incapability to just hold me and tell me that everything would be okay. And now, now nothing would ever be okay again.
There’s a moment there, a moment where everything around you crumbles to pieces, where you won’t, simply can’t believe that something like this could happen to me. I was beginning to think that I had made it all up, it was a dream. Then I’d look in the mirror and see a monster starring back. I never did like blood, but in those quiet moments of despair I began hating it for what it did to a person. In a way it made me want to see more, it made me want to claw at my face… so that I couldn’t hide it anymore, if the wounds were open I couldn’t cover them, but on the other hand I knew that I had to hide them. No one would believe me, and if they did , they would say that I tempted him. The “poor boy” didn’t have a chance against the evil witch that I was.
So, I hid everything. I hid it all that first weekend, and then it was time to go back to school. I hadn’t spoken to him all weekend, which had made my mother suspicious. She asked me whether we were fighting. I said no, even though we were fighting, but it was a different kind of battle. He had won the physical part, but I was going to win with mental strength, I wouldn’t call him to beg for forgiveness, I couldn’t call. I knew that he’d deny it all.
I got on the ugly, yellow school bus the next day and sat down next to Bobby, because I knew that our friendly banter would take my mind off of things. It did work, at least for a little while. As soon as we were getting of the bus I saw him. Leaning against one of the lockers, right inside the corridor to the cafeteria. That was unusual, he usually waited in the cafeteria, not outside. He was smiling at me, waving, but in a way I could tell that something was wrong. As I walked in on legs that felt like jelly, I almost ran after Bobby, almost begged him to stay. But he just told me that he’d see me later and made his way over to Sam and Brian. My steps stopped in front of him. I slowly looked at his face and smiled, his face was a sarcastic mask.
“Got anything to tell me?” came his question as he pulled me into a quieter place by the guy’s bathrooms.
“No,” I whispered.
“Lied about anything recently?”
“No…”
“Told any friends that I beat you up on Friday…no?” came the sarcasm again, “We’ll talk about this later,” and he pulled me roughly to my locker. We stopped in front of the café. He swiftly kissed me on the lips, for show I suppose, a way to tell me that I’d better keep quiet. I quickly walked over to Faith and asked, “Did you tell him?”
She turned to me coldly and just said, “You’re a liar,” and then turned away again.
I will never forget standing there, feeling like everything had left me, and feeling the conformation, that no one would believe me- no one would ever see. I could feel the tears shooting into my eyes again and the felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. A quiet, “hey baby,” whispered into my ear. I took a step away from him, smiled with tears in my eyes, shook his hands away, and sprinted to the bathroom.
You lied… No I didn’t. Yes, you did. No, I almost screamed it. Alone again…I could hear my footsteps echoing against the tiles in the bathroom, as I walked over to the sinks and just starred at my face in the mirror. If you didn’t know the injuries were there, you wouldn’t notice them. No one noticed them. They don’t exist…
I starred at my face in the mirror until my eyes started to water from not blinking, until I couldn’t really see a face anymore, it was just lines…and lies. The first bell rang…and I made my way to English.
This is my life, my sadness, told in real story format to help me get over the pain?
I'm so sorry you had to go through that-my only advice- never blame yourself and pray to God for the strength to live with what happened somehow.

But he just told me that he’d see me later and made his way over to Sam and Brian. My steps stopped in front of him. I slowly looked at his face and smiled, his face was a sarcastic mask.
“Got anything to tell me?” came his question as he pulled me into a quieter place by the guy’s bathrooms.
“No,” I whispered.
“Lied about anything recently?”
“No…”
“Told any friends that I beat you up on Friday…no?” came the sarcasm again, “We’ll talk about this later,” and he pulled me roughly to my locker. We stopped in front of the café. He swiftly kissed me on the lips, for show I suppose, a way to tell me that I’d better keep quiet. I quickly walked over to Faith and asked, “Did you tell him?”
She turned to me coldly and just said, “You’re a liar,” and then turned away again.
I will never forget standing there, feeling like everything had left me, and feeling the conformation, that no one would believe me- no one would ever see. I could feel the tears shooting into my eyes again and the felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. A quiet, “hey baby,” whispered into my ear. I took a step away from him, smiled with tears in my eyes, shook his hands away, and sprinted to the bathroom.
You lied… No I didn’t. Yes, you did. No, I almost screamed it. Alone again…I could hear my footsteps echoing against the tiles in the bathroom, as I walked over to the sinks and just starred at my face in the mirror. If you didn’t know the injuries were there, you wouldn’t notice them. No one noticed them. They don’t exist…
I starred at my face in the mirror until my eyes started to water from not blinking, until I couldn’t really see a face anymore, it was just lines…and lies. The first bell rang…and I made my way to English.
This is my life, my sadness, told in real story format to help me get over the pain?
I'm so sorry you had to go through that-my only advice- never blame yourself and pray to God for the strength to live with what happened somehow.
