39 AnswersCancer1 decade agoColon Cancer - Can someone who has had it or know someone who has it please let me know what the symptoms are?
I just finished watching Montel and there was this guy on there that had symptoms similar to ones I've been having recently and he was diagnosed with colon cancer. I'm 30 years old now but have been suffering from digestive issues such as diahrreah, stomach burning and other symptoms such as fatigue, feeling as if I'm almost going to faint and headaches for several months now. I am fixing to get some health insurance so I can go see a doctor soon, but in the meantime can anyone please let me know the symptoms for colon cancer and how common is it in someone my age (30 year old female)?
5 AnswersCancer1 decade agoAre burgers & fries for dinner really unhealthy if I'm trying to lose lbs (I'm planning on baking everything)
My Dad's boss gave him tons of ground beef and beef steaks and in turn my Dad gave us some. I know ground beef is not the best choice when one is trying to lose weight but I don't want to throw all this good meat out or have my husband eat it all by himself (not good for his health either). Are they really that bad for you when you're trying to diet, lose weight? We only eat them ocassionally, like once a month. I'm planning of baking the patties and the french fries in the oven to lower the fat in them.
13 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoI'm at my highest weight that I've ever been and am getting depressed because I can't get these extra lbs off?
I'm not extremely overweight or anything, but I know I am over weight. I just weighed myself and I weigh 153 and I'm only 5'4. I'd really like to lose between 20-30 pounds before the holidays roll around this year (I'm giving myself a realistic time frame this time)? I exercise 3 times a week only because this is all I have time for and my diet is not excellent. This morning I had 2 slices of leftover Pizza Hut pizza and 2 cheesestix for breakfast (terrible I know, it was a lazy Sunday morning), I haven't eaten anything else since then and don't plan of eating anything else till dinner which we have planned homemade burgers and fries. We don't eat stuff like this all the time just on the weekends when we're being lazy. We mostly eat home cooked meals during the weekdays Monday-Friday. Please help me with any weight loss advice you have. Thanks.
17 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoWhat's the fastest method for toning your legs? A way where you can notice a change in a month or less?
I bought Leg Magic and I've been doing it about 3 times a week only becuz I don't really have alot of time but I haven't noticed much of a difference. I've done it for over 3 months. Is there a more effective method to tone legs if all I have time for is 3 times a week and only about 30 minutes to be able to do it?
11 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoHow do you store and cook collard greens? (these are fresh, just picked ones that my landlord gave me)?

9 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoDoes anyone know if Principal Secret (skincare line by Victoria Principal) is any good for someone w/ dry skin
I just turned 30 years old and I've been having problems with really dry skin. I've also noticed fine lines around my eyes and the lines are really really noticeable in the cheeks area when I smile. :( I think they're so bad that I try not to smile too big anymore. I've been seeing the Principal Secret infomercials on tv and that stuff sounds really good. I also just got a brochure in the mail from them and am seriously thinking about buying some but I'd really like to get some personal opinions on it first. Has anyone tried it, specifically for resolving dry skin and fine lines? Did it work for you?
3 AnswersOther - Skin & Body1 decade agoIs it safe for me to drink coffee everyday (1 or 2 cups) if I suffer from stomach problems?
I like drinking coffee everyday, at least 1 cup in the morning but sometimes 2. I don't know if I should keep drinking it so often or if at all tho since I've been suffering from digestive issues for years now. In 2004 I had to have my gallbladder removed due to frequent gallbladder pains I was getting. Now since the surgery I've had symptoms typical of IBS (constipation and diahrreah however your spell it) but mostly constipation. Do you think it would be ok to keep drinking coffee daily (I feel I need it for the energy plus I love the taste of it) or should I stop until I can see a gastroenterologist for my digestive issues? O and just wanted to add I used to drink regular Folgers but now I drink the Simply Smooth kind since the regular kind was giving me sever heartburn.

4 AnswersOther - United States1 decade agoIs it possible to have a landline (not a cellphone, it must be a landline) in an RV / travel trailer?

3 AnswersLand Phones1 decade agoWhat should I do if my former tax preparer won't mail back my tax documents to me?
Ok I have had this lady do my taxes for me for the past 2 years. She has always done them at no charge since I qualified under her Free or Reduced program. The way we've always done this process is since she lives in another state now, she mails me an envelope with some helpful tax info. for me such as deductions etc. and also included is a tax organizer for me to fill in so that she can do my taxes easier. Well I received that envelope from her in my mail early February 2008. I filled it out and mailed it back to her with my tax form, documents and other receipts. After several days of not getting any response from her as to receipt of the items I mailed to her, I then emailed her to both her personal email and her business email. She never replied to either so I called both her business and home phone. Her business number turned out to be bogus and her home phone a machine always picked up. I left her a message and waited. She never called back so now it's April 14, 2008.....
