  • Someone who is very close to me is seriously considering to have a bariatric surgery done. I want to make sure that she has all the facts before she goes any further with consultations, etc. I am specifically looking for medical journals and research papers that can give me the scientific facts - not the version of facts that you see on commercial websites. Even if there personal experiences that anyone can share, please do so. I want to help her make the right decision If anyone can provide any s... Read More

    Westcoastgurl: I had a friend that looked into it. There are a few different procedures. One is the stomach stapling which cannot be undone. The other method I believe is where ...

    Oh yeah ... i recall its called gastric bypass... i guess i had forgotten the name bariatric. :) I'm kinda used to referring to it as stomach stapling or just gastric bypass sx.
    August 3, 2005 at 7:28pm
    Basically, the procedure means to shrink the size of your stomach, so you cannot consume more than about 5 tbsp of food at any time. From what I know, it is actually a bypass su...

    Saud, If you haven't been back in 13 years, those mosquitoes won't recognize you. Better invest in some good bug spray.
 
  • I feel that the more I am getting older, the more I am getting smarter, more independent, more picky and LESS patient....... This is great and all but I'm afraid one day I am going to not want anyone, need anyone and never will have anyone because I got so used to my way.... I don't know why, but i'm so lucky to meet amazing guys who make perfect mates but I dont want them, push them away...what if the day I finally want someone, no will be there anymore. Gosh I know I am rambling, its late and I'm in a... Read More

  • When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala went to show Himself to Nabi Musa (as), and Nabi Musa passed out because he was not fully prepared for the direct Light, did Allah swt appear as something distinct and defined, or was it Nabi Musa's (as) perception of what was already there that changed? Are there other accounts which hint at this? ""When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee." Allah said: "By no means cans... Read More

 
  • I think whoever is in charge of Reese's wardrobe should be fired. All of her outfits are horrible. They are not flattering at all. What is that red scrunchy tank she has on? And that horrible button down white shirt that looked like a chef's outfit.

 
  • Hey Salams, After free lancing for 1 1 /2 years, I was offered a chance to boost the sales for the M.A.C. Nordstrom on the 3rd floor (yes they have one up there nobody knows).

  • We have always been told by society since a very young age to have men pursue us. It's usually the guy's duty to ask a girl out. It's always the man that chases the women. Well what if there is a guy that a girl is interested in and wants to ask him out? Should she make the frist move? Or wait for him to come to his senses and ask her out....lol. I want to know how that works with desi/ middle eastern guys? Would you guys be flattered if a woman made the first move and asked you out? Or would you find her to be... Read More

  • hello, I dont know about you guys but ever since I was in high school i have had a problem thinking of what to take for lunch...any ideas? anything creative tired of the Pbj sandwiches as well as the kabab/keema sandwhiches and other regular stuff...no lunch equals a trip to the local fast food joint which is not the healthiest...lets hear some of your favourite lunches...

  • People tend to underestimate the power of soy milk. Soy milk contains MANY cancer fighting agents...especially for women. Women are suppose to drink on average 1 cup of soy milk a day. And if you think about it, it's not that bad...well anymore. They have like a million flavours. If you guys rae coffee drinkers, substitute soy milk instead of reg. or non- fat. Soy milk does the body good. :P

    December 18, 2005 at 1:15pm
    ie the soya beans that they are made from are genetically modified );
    December 18, 2005 at 1:13pm
    I'm a bit sceptical about soy products, especially as most soy products have been genetically modified. Check out: http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/soy.htm

    Hmm....I've tried soy milk and its not bad at all. I eat soy chunks though because of the protein. I'm a bit skeptical so I think I'll stick to the normal cow milk.....and get m...

  • This is a poem from Neruda's Residence on Earth. "Sonata and Destructions" After a good deal, after vague leagues, confusd about domains, uncertain about territories, accompanied by faint hopes and faithless companies and uneasy dreams, I love the tenacity that still survives in my eyes, I hear in my heart my horseman steps, I bite the dormant fire and the ruined salt, and at night, dark in atmosphere and fugitive mourning, he who keeps vigil at the edge of camps, the armed traveler of ...

    Whenever I've read this, I've wondered what Neruda meant by "my arm of stone defends me."
