handbags

most ladies keep themselves in check when they are single as to attractive 'em guys and once they have them they can eat all the midnight chocolate cakes they want without having to worry whether their thighs are too fat to enter their lucky brand jeans

while for most women it is a shift of personal responsibility. taking care of family adds to stress which adds to the stomach

while for most ladies it is just pure laziness no excuse

[quote author=*Toyinrayo link=topic=249630.msg3778043#msg3778043 date=1240620616]Hmmm, good point. Aggression does not solve anything.

But a child who continues to misbehave after so many counsellings and talking to nko?

Abeg, let him learn the hard life in boot camp and come come back to the luxurious life at home. Let him know the advantages he has.[/quote]if after the FCP and he/her doesn't seem to change i will get him/her screened for ADHD so i know where i stand. but no matter what i wouldnt still send them to the boot camp. i don't think that confrontational approach to teen problems is inappropriate. i think that BC fail to model the pro-social behavior and development of empathy that struggling teens really need to learn.i think dont they are effective in getting to the root of the teen's problem and fixing it over a longer period of time.

I hope you live in Nigeria!!!

I will try the behavior based and family focused counselling this one is more one on one, personal growth is developed which i think is better that the "YES SIR" every time of the boot camps things   i like the family-centered programs.

boot camps to me is just too aggressive and don't work and if I'm sending my teen there to deal with issues i don't think more aggressiveness is going to help

i will only allow them to go to boot camp if only they are entering the military

shorts

haba but still using some animal waste for cloths lawd i pray n hope i never get to wear those cloths oo

[quote author=*Toyinrayo link=topic=249630.msg3777833#msg3777833 date=1240614066]What scares you?[/quote]those military like structures they use there and it is usually a hostile environment. and i feel like it doesn't solve anything especially behavior like problems and they are usually short term(like 30days) so i believe that the short term of it is not long enough to make lasting changes in them. and they do not have long-term follow up nor support that is needed for troubled teens and parents. a teen who is hostile will only learn that that the louder you scream, the more action you will get. i rather try other alternatives

kind of scared about those camps

jealousy and possessiveness

good times with the one who truly loves me

was that really difficult to figure out?

that is just pure generalizations. flirting is not attached to any particular profession but on the type of individual.

funny how others would do anything to look and appear younger and you are here looking for ways to looker older. hmmmm as they say different strokes for different people. my dear, there is nothing wrong with looking younger than your age you are probably one of those with baby face AKA forever young. the same with me, i wouldn't advise you to do anything that would make you look older cause sooner or later you probably be looking for ways to look younger as it is the current trends.

so accept your baby face and enjoy it while it lasts. don't let those silly comments get to you. or try to dress more mature.

WHAT IS GENITAL HERPES?


Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak.  Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.

HOW COMMON IS GENITAL HERPES?

Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Over the past decade, the percent of Americans with genital herpes infection in the U.S. has decreased.

Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of eight). This may be due to male-to-female transmission being more likely than female-to-male transmission.

HOW DO PEOPLE GET GENITAL HERPES?

HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.

HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called “fever blisters.” HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF GENITAL HERPES?

Most people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their infection. However, if signs and symptoms occur during the first outbreak, they can be quite pronounced. The first outbreak usually occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted, and the sores typically heal within two to four weeks. Other signs and symptoms during the primary episode may include a second crop of sores, and flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands. However, most individuals with HSV-2 infection  never have sores, or they have very mild signs that they do not even notice or that they mistake for insect bites or another skin condition.

People diagnosed with a first episode of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks (symptomatic recurrences) within a year. Over time these recurrences usually decrease in frequency.  It is possible that a person becomes aware of the “first episode” years after the infection is acquired.

WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS OF GENITAL HERPES?

Genital herpes can cause recurrent painful genital sores in many adults, and herpes infection can be severe in people with suppressed immune systems. Regardless of severity of symptoms, genital herpes frequently causes psychological distress in people who know they are infected.

In addition, genital HSV can lead to potentially fatal infections in babies. It is important that women avoid contracting herpes during pregnancy because a newly acquired infection during late pregnancy poses a greater risk of transmission to the baby. If a woman has active genital herpes at delivery, a cesarean delivery is usually performed. Fortunately, infection of a baby from a woman with herpes infection is rare.

Herpes may play a role in the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Herpes can make people more susceptible to HIV infection, and it can make HIV-infected individuals more infectious.

HOW IS GENITAL HERPES DIAGNOSED?

The signs and symptoms associated with HSV-2 can vary greatly. Health care providers can diagnose genital herpes by visual inspection if the outbreak is typical, and by taking a sample from the sore(s) and testing it in a laboratory. HSV infections can be diagnosed between outbreaks by the use of a blood test. Blood tests, which detect  antibodies to HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection, can be helpful, although the results are not always clear-cut.

IS THERE A TREATMENT FOR HERPES?

There is no treatment that can cure herpes, but antiviral medications can shorten and prevent outbreaks during the period of time the person takes the medication.  In addition, daily suppressive therapy for symptomatic herpes can reduce transmission to partners.

HOW CAN HERPES BE PREVENTED?

The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes, is to abstain from sexual contact, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.

Genital ulcer diseases can occur in both male and female genital areas that are covered or protected by a latex condom, as well as in areas that are not covered. Correct and consistent use of latex condoms can reduce the risk of genital herpes.
Persons with herpes should abstain from sexual activity with uninfected partners when lesions or other symptoms of herpes are present. It is important to know that even if a person does not have any symptoms he or she can still infect sex partners. Sex partners of infected persons should be advised that they may become infected and they should use condoms to reduce the risk. Sex partners can seek testing to determine if they are infected with HSV. A positive HSV-2 blood test most likely indicates a genital herpes infection.

hope this helps

Just imagine the stretch marks on octomom

i didnt think her own stretch marks were even that big sef like you'd expect 4rom som1 w/8kids in there

@ post

gosh i hate stretch marks, if i was forced to choose between stretch marks and cellulite i will definitely close my eyes and choose cellulite.

I'd suggest before you make this into an In-law family affair, first talk to your wife about how you feel about this situation. tell her how you feel like. that she should contribute or at least try to help in the family upkeep. she might never know that you have issues with doing all those things you listed, so she may think you don't complain so maybe you don't really mind. so talk to her and see if an amicable solution will be sort out before you bring the whole family into this.

that house is funny

@ oyb

try what the ladies here suggested. have a big and taller bookshelf and if possible lock it so he wouldn't be able to scatter it
