How can I control my excessive snacking? :( It's really bad?

If you keep piling up your fridge with these sort of snacks, then you'll keep eating them, simple as that. I used to have a snacking problem, like it felt as though my mouth was so bored when it wasnt eating. Or another way would be keep yourself busy. Like when im on the computer typing something up, both my hands are at work so i cant eat anything. Or buy sugar free gum, since it has like no fat and it keeps your mouth busy.

Have you had a friend who talks about themselves for most of the conversation every single time?

OMG YES!! everyone does this to me. whenever i catch up with a friend they just talk about them, like the whole time. they talk about their jobs, their relationships/sex lives, their family, their feelings etc. thats totally fine, i mean i love listening to people, but when i try talk about me for w little while, it's like they cant handle it, and HAVE to start talking about them again. its frustrating and yes draining is like the pefect word. its happened to me since i was a kid, my best friend did it, and even my teachers! my teacher would just walk over to me and be like "my son is moving out, i have bills to pay, and im stressed" and then im in at lunchtime having to talk to her about it more. same thing happened to my mother, and it used to drive her insane too. theres not much you can do to avoid these people, except perhaps watch out for the early signs when you get to know them. how often they mention themselves etc.

Is my grandmas house haunted?

Whenever im in a room alone i have this SUPER creepy feeling someone is watching me, and i dont get that anywhere else. At night i always hear things moving around and my grandma says its probably just mice (she lives in the country) but i dont think mice could make these noises. One time everyone was in the family room (on one side of the house) and i was cooking in the kitchen, (in the middle) and on the other side are the bedrooms, and i kept hearing doors open and shut and footsteps and i thought my sister was home and just got up but it turned out she wasnt home and nobody was in there. Cold drafts are also common. Is her house haunted?

What to Expect about a baby born at 37 weeks 4 days but measuring smaller?

My dr said that he was going to induce me next thursday (37weeks 4 days) but as of right now the baby is showing that she weighs 4 pounds but the ultrasound tech at the hospital said that her head was really low iin my pelvis and they couldn't get a good measurement of her head so they don't really know if she weighs more then 4 pounds or not and she is also measuring 33 weeks instead of 36 weeks 5 days. I was also wondering if she would maybe have to stay in the NI CU if she did weigh less then 5 pounds. ultrasound tech said she was doing her practice breathing and moving really good. besides me going into preterm labor twice there hasn't been anything wrong with her, she has always been active since ive FIRST felt her move. but with this pregnancy as with my first the further along i am the more it seems that the more they get behind in some measurement. my first started to have inter uterine growth restriction at about 16 weeks and she started showing that she was 2 weeks behind gestational age then it was 3 then it was a month. so far this baby has show to be 2 weeks behind and now she is showing 3 weeks behind. I also got pregnant with this one when i was on birth control which i didn't miss a day of it. but she is now starting to follow the same footsteps as her sister. I also had my first baby at 35 weeks 3 days and so far i have went a week past that but im really nervous about having this baby in the Nicu too. I spent 3 weeks in the NICU with baby number 1 because i lived almost 2 hours away and i couldn't think about if i left it would take me 2 hours to get back to that hospital if there was any kind of emergency.

How do you deal with a psychotic mother?

I need to vent so bad right now. My mother is so freaking psychotic it's not even funny. But then again, she's Asian, so maybe that's what you would expect from these type of parents. But my mother takes the cake; I MEAN SERIOUSLY. So she called me at 5 to tell me to do the laundry, and she was like " If there's some quarters left, dry the non-black clothes. So I was like okay. But then I forget to leave out the black ones from the dryer. I'm sorry. I'll admit I was wrong, but it was an honest mistake; how bad could it be? Does it MATTER that your clothes will be DRY once leaving the wash? Who cares if it's black; I freaking washed and dried it for you. So then, I bring the clothes up, and then my mom starts her psychotic rampage. "THESE CLOTHES ARE TOO HOT, IT'S GOING TO BE WRINKLY! I TOLD YOU NOT THE DRY THESE CLOTHES! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WEAR THIS! IT'S TOO ******* DRY! LIKE TEA LEAVES! OMG LOOK HOW WRINKLY THIS IS" Seriously? What do you expect, mom? when you dry clothes, they get wrinkly. It's always like that. But then, she spends 10 freaking minutes telling me " I TOLD YOU NOT TO DRY THE CLOTHES; YOU NEVER FREAKING LISTEN TO ME DO YOU? I SPEND GOOD MONEY ON THESE CLOTHES AND NOW YOU RUINED THEM BY WRINKLING THEM! YOU WASTED MONEY ON DRYING THEM TO WASTE AWAY MY CLOTHES ANYWAYS! I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU NOT TO DRY THE CLOTHES!" What the hell? You did not tell me that at all. You told me not to dry the black clothes, which I did, and I'm sorry for. But out of the entire load, only 1 or 2 items of clothing were black... You mean to say that counts as the whole freaking load? You told me I could dry the clothes... And then she goes on to rant, "You always do this! You never listen to me! You're so spoiled... You can never do anything right.... I saw on the new.... someone your age was working at a sweatshop in China! Look at you, going to school... You are so blessed! You are spoiled! Other children are working, while you are able to go to school! And you're not even grateful! I tell you to wash the clothes and you can't ever do it properly... " But then she seriously starts to deviate... " I WISH YOU HAD NEVER BEEN BORN... MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU... I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK SO MUCH PROVIDING FOR YOU... AND FOR WHAT? YOU DONT DO ANYTHING AT SCHOOL; HOW COULD YOU? YOU'RE ALWAYS LATE TO SCHOOL!(Which, by the way, is completely untrue) AS SOON AS YOU TURN 18, I'M KICKING YOU OUT... YOU'RE SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME(Me, Me, Me, Me... If you hate me that much, you should have learned to use a condom... Abortion is always an option too... Or, you know, ABSINENCE... People need to know the consequences of their actions... If you really didn't want me to be born, there are many many measures you could have taken to prevent me, so don't give me that bullshit.)" But then she starts on about my father, whom I hate with a burning passion(He molested my older sister when she was 16; my mom knows this, I know this. She also knows that I absolutely abhor this man, and yet, she continues on to say " YOU LOVE YOUR FATHER SO MUCH? WHY DON'T YOU GO TO CHINA SO YOU CAN JOIN HIM? HE RAN AWAY FROM US... YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS HIM[Because you messed up while doing the laundry; you are obviously a wicked son who will go to hell now]! YOU MIGHT AS WELL GROW UP SO YOU CAN FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS! MIGHT AS WELL, RIGHT? YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME ANYWAYS! I SPENT 2600 DOLLARS ON A PREP SCHOOL SO THAT YOU CAN GET INTO A GOOD HIGH SCHOOL, AND YOU DON'T EVEN ASK ME WHAT SCHOOL I WANT YOU TO GO TOO?(Okay, 1st of all, this is my life... not yours... Choosing a high school is important to me, and it's my decision... not yours... Also... nobody told you to spend that much money so I could go to a prep school that I did not need or want...)" Then, she jumps back to laundry... From my choice of high school? Which was 4 years ago? "LOOK AT THIS SHIRT... LOOK HOW WRINKLY THIS IS!(Again, what do you expect mom...? I've been doing the laundry for 5 years now... I've done the same thing I've always done. I've never heard any complaints before. Also? Seriously? SHIRTS CAN BE IRONED OH MY GOD)... And then she goes back to folding clothes, and I think she's finally with her psycho ***** fit... until 5 minutes later, when she comes back with a freaking hammer of all thing, and smashes my laptop... because apparently" YOU DON'T HAVE SCHOOL NOW; YOU DON'T NEED THIS ANYMORE... YOU ALWAYS STAY UP UNTIL LATE AT NIGHT ON THIS THING... AND FOR WHAT? HOMEWORK? YOU'RE NOT DOING WELL IN SCHOOL ANYWAYS; YOU'RE LATE ALL THE TIME!(This is completely ludicrous; I have enrolled in all honors classes, and am taking three AP courses... While still maintaining a ~90 average... She knows nothing about me at all.)

Blacking out while on minocycline?

i've just started taking minocycline for acne on my face for two days. i also apply edpiduo cream on my face several minutes before i go to bed. i take one minocycline antibiotic when i wake up and another several hours before bed (since you can't lie down after taking it). i do eat a snack before each pill (my dermotologist requested i do so) and swallow it with plenty of water. this morning (the third day i will be on minocycline) i woke up with terrible stomach pains/nausea. i decided to get up after dealing with the pain by lying in bed for half an hour. i got up slow, looked in the mirror, saw i was extremely pale, and then blacked out. i managed to lie down before i completely lost my balance. once i laid down, the ringing in my ears was awful for several minutes. this has happened to me once before a while ago, but i wasn't on any antibiotics or anything. for now, i'm going to drink like a fish and still take the pill; however, if any new side effects occur, i'm calling my derm. i'm unsure wether the ringing in my ears (since that is a specific side effect listed on the bottle) or blacking out is from the drug, or if it's from some stomach bug. has anyone who took minocycline had this problem? thanks for your feedback!

Why Doesn't More People Believe In The Sixth Sense?

Nothing is beyond science. Science is the very definition of the way things work, it encompasses all possible reality. If magic were real, it would be science, as it would fit into some sort of system. If there was any scientific proof, rational people would believe in it. But they don't because there isn't. There are many possible expanations for what you describe as a sixth sense here, but I won't go into them.

I am trying to find a good hands on lesson plan on the concept of weight for first graders?

I am teaching summer school and it is first grade math. We are doing measurement this whole week and I would like to touch and do a very basic introduction on weight, however, I cannot find a good lesson plan that will work. Most lessons want you to have a balance scale, problem is, I don't have access to one. I thought about having various objects and having them guess which one would be heavier and then lifting them up to see if they were right, not sure how successful that would be. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Turkey stuffing, cornbread, bread, or sausage stuffing? which do you make?

I go between regular bread and cornbread stuffing. This year is cornbread and for the first time I am making my own cornbread instead of buying pre packaged corn bread. The recipe seems pretty easy and then I will break it up and add onion, celery, pecans, egg and broth. I never made sausage stuffing.
