kai! kim

happy you went to see a doc instead of doing it yourself

good 4 ya, nxt time be more careful w/buds

this is just sad especially considering the special circumstances she is in. she should just be allowed to give birth, the baby probably have been through had times in there. no prenatal care, just malnutrition foods she been fed in there.  the baby is innocent and should be given the right to live regardless of the sins of the mom. the blood of that child is in their hands if they decide to go ahead with their planned "execution".  Lawd, i wonder sometimes when people will ever learn. now the life of other person is danger all due to some reckless mistake by the mother

i only do the baby type of styles on them usually do it by myself or family member or a relative i know their hands aren't painful, so their hair wouldnt hurt

Listen to her, ”To have a successful marriage, a woman must respect her husband. She must carry him along in everything she‘s doing, as a partner in progress. Besides, she should minimise the number of friends she keeps. A married woman who keeps so many friends may soon be eased out of that marriage. Above all, she must be prayerful. She must stand in gap in prayers for the husband and the children.”

Siena:
What's wrong with a lady retaining her surname, as a middle name?

That would only trouble her man, if he's the insecure sort, who feels his wife must erase every trace of her pre-married life in order for him to feel he's truly married to her?

thank you jare

see a doctor right away if possible and I'd suggest you try not to remove it yourself using any tools like tweezers or wood cause you may end up pushing it in further and although it may not hurt now, it will if it goes anywhere near your ear drum!. the doctor has a special syringe that can be used to pull this out and it shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes. and he/she will check with an otoscope to make sure the entire bud is out

You could seriously damage your ear if you do something that doesn't work.
Better to be safe than sorry

cant stand the "raw food diet" seen people who tried it and they look like a walking stick ready to be broken at any time

for those "interested or curious"

What is the Raw Food Diet?

The raw food diet is a diet based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, nuts, dried fruit, and seaweed.

Heating food above 116 degrees F is believed to destroy enzymes in food that can assist in the digestion and absorption of food. Cooking is also thought to diminish the nutritional value and "life force" of food.

Typically, at least 75% of the diet must be living or raw.

What are the Benefits of the Raw Food Diet?


Proponents of the raw food diet believe it has numerous health benefits, including:

    * Increased energy
    * Improved skin appearance
    * Better digestion
    * Weight loss
    * Reduced risk of heart disease

The raw food diet contains fewer trans fats and saturated fat than the typical Western diet. It is also low in sodium and high in potassium, magnesium, folate, fiber and health-promoting plant chemicals called phytochemicals.

These properties are associated with a reduced risk of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. For example, a study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that consumption of a raw food diet lowered plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations.

What are the Guidelines of the Raw Food Diet?
What can I eat?

Unprocessed, preferably organic, whole foods such as:

    * Fresh fruits and vegetables
    * Nuts
    * Seeds
    * Beans
    * Grains
    * Legumes
    * Dried fruit
    * Seaweed
    * Unprocessed organic or natural foods
    * Freshly juiced fruit and vegetables
    * Purified water
    * Young coconut milk

At least 75% of food consumed should not be heated over 116 degrees F.

What cooking techniques are used?


Specific cooking techniques make foods more digestible and add variety to the diet, including:

    * Sprouting seeds, grains, and beans
    * Juicing fruit and vegetables
    * Soaking nuts and dried fruit
    * Blending
    * Dehydrating food


What equipment can I use?

    * A dehydrator, a piece of equipment that blows air through food at a temperature of less than 116 degrees F.
    * A good-quality juice extractor for juicing fruit and vegetables
    * A blender, food processor, or chopper to save time
    * Large glass containers to soak and sprout seeds, grains, and beans
    * Mason jars for storing sprouts and other food


Side Effects

Some people experience a detoxification reaction when they start the raw food diet, especially if their previous diet was rich in meat, sugar, and caffeine. Mild headaches, nausea, and cravings can occur but usually last for several days.
Precautions
The raw food diet may not be appropriate for certain people, such as:

    * Children
    * Pregnant or nursing women
    * People with anemia
    * People at risk for osteoporosis - A Washington University study found that people following a raw food diet had lower bone mass. Bone turnover rates, however, were similar to the group that ate a standard American diet.

Considerable time, energy, and commitment is needed to be healthy on the raw food diet. Many of the foods are made from scratch. Some ingredients may be hard to find, such as Rejuvelac (the fermented liquid drained from sprouted grains), sprouted flour, date sugar, young coconut milk, carob powder and Celtic sea salt.
People must be aware that certain nutritional deficiencies can occur on the raw food diet, including:

    * Calcium
    * Iron
    * B12 – The Journal of Nutrition study found that a raw food diet increased levels of homocysteine due to vitamin B-12 deficiency.
    * Protein
    * Calories

Critics of the raw food diet say while it’s true that some enzymes are inactivated when food is heated, it doesn’t matter because the body uses its own enzymes for digestion. In addition, cooking makes certain phytochemicals easier to absorb, such as beta-carotene in carrots.

Another critique is that the human body has changed in response to eating cooked foods. Some of these changes are that are jaws and teeth have become smaller, our stomachs have shrunk, and our small intestines have grown longer, lengthening the digestive surface area.

According to other alternative diet theories, such as macrobiotics, Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine, a raw-only diet may not be appropriate for people living in colder climates or for people with certain constitutional types.

@Sissy

Would you recommend perming and putting braids in for kids around 5/6?

Won't it damage their hairlines faster?[/quote]i would put braids on them at that age, i think the hair damage depends on the type of braid you put on them and the caring for it . as for the relaxer, it depends, some will advise against it and tell you to let them go natural while others will be for it. IMO, it all depends on how manageable and maintainable their hair is. however, i do think the chemicals are too strong for little children scalps. i would rather buy one of those blowdryer with a comb on the end of it and use it to straighten her hair after i wash it. keeping a moisturizer in handy. and keep the relaxer at bay at least till they are older and keep doing the braids. i like CHI flat iron
