im not one of those skanky smelly stank *** women who smell horrible down there. i actually clean myself very well, i know the dos and the donts and never have a foul odor. my normal everyday odor is very light and natural. i bathe i take care of myself and i never smell fishy expect...when im on my period, and i bleed a lot..ican go through a lot of pads a day because of how much i bleed...its not an issue im healthy its just what my body does...but it doesnt matter if i bathe in the morning with some vinegar and baking soda, in an hour i can still smell fishy. and then once my period goes away, the fishy smell is gone.

i just dont know why i smell fishy for those 5 days and then it goes away. other women when they are on their period dont smell bad....so what could this be? because i never smell fishy only during my menstrual cycle...

should i be worried?

what does it mean if the fabric softener compartment is full of water that just has just been sitting there for months?

it doesn't really bother me because I haven't been using fabric softener. but because I have skin allergies I would like to know if this interferes with the machines rinsing ability? or is the rinsing valve separate from where the water takes the fabric softener/ if so, then that's fine with me. all I care about is that my clothes are being rinsed out or else its a trip to the doctor again! those damn skin allergies...

my 18 year old cousin confided in me that she is dating a 26 year old guy..its legal period..but her parents are very protective of her. bla bla. I didn't say anything. ive always been a loyal girl. until I was hanging with her and this guy and he asked me to leave and then so did she, I felt knd of ditched so I went to my grandmothers who is known to keep secrets. she agreed she wouldn't tell. over the holidays, I confided in my mother now that I felt hurt about being ditched and I felt lonely and like nobody gives a **** about me and as a woman to woman I figured she would keep the secret. it is legal after all...well she ratted me out and now my whole ******* family knows. the police may get involed and I look like a rat but I was confiding in two women that I thought would understand, obviously I cant trust anyone. to be honest, my cousin isn't even in my life anymore because the last time I saw her she yelled at me and disrespected over something that didn't have to do with this but I don't tolerate disrespect. so to be honest ive just been doing my own thing, I don't call her or anything but her mother comes over to my house today tryng to get the truth out of me...and I don't say nothing. then she flips on me and screams at me for no apparent reason...and I stood up for myself. I don't tolerate disrespect. nobody is going to disrespect me. so basically im left here, I called my mother, she said I had to tell, and im telling her you ratted me out...telling my grandmother that she also rat me out. and im here looking like the rat.

I honestly feel awful and almost like I don't give a ****. I have my own problems. the only thing that would be a problem is that my cousin doesn't use condoms, but u know, like I said it is not my issue..i haven't called my cousin, I don't appreciate my aunt trying to get the truth out of me and flipping on me...she is legal..and I now realize that I cant trust anyone!!!

what should I do...they don't even want my cousin home because of this...they want to blow it up into a big issue..its bad!

if i have something to return but don't go to the exact same location rite aid I got it at it, will they still accept it? and if they don't sell it at that exact rite aid but return it for me anyway, what happens to the merchandise? do they just throw it away?

did my laundry in an apt. complex and my clothes weren't sopping dripping wet but they definitely were wetter and heavier than the norm. I heard this has to do with a sock in the pump or something in the way of spinning. do you think this would interfere with the rinse cycle? I want to know if should rinse the clothes again because I am severely allergic to soap residue. if its just a spin issue I wouldn't mind because it wasn't wet to the point where I couldn't put it in the dryer but ive heard that if it is spin issue it could also have meant that it didn't rinse out properly. any help would be appreciated! thanks!

i dropped a plastic earring back down the drain. tried to get it out but its just too small to bother I just want to know could this harm the water supply? it it toxic and this becomes the water we drink and use, so I just want to know?

long story but I want to know if it will come out in the stool or if it will be digested or stick to my ribs? im a little worried. ive eaten some food and drank some liquids

our downstairs bathroom sink is clogged and going down very slow. thinking of all the things we put down the sink, chemicals, soap scum, etc.. is it safe to drink the water and use the water for external purposes while we wait to fix the sink? afterall it is the same pipe isn't it? so if its not flushing how is the water clean?

AT AMERICAN APPAREL, CAN YOU EXCHANGE SOMETHING WITHOUT THE CREDIT CARD YOU USED TO PURCHASE IT?

i someone had a shirt that they threw away in the garbage, then months later wanted it back and decidd to buy the same item again, what is the possibility that it could be the same one you threw away? don't people take stuff from the dump and then sell it back to the original store or return it even if its theres? whats the possibility?

I know this sounds a little stupid but I was cleaning my shower with hot water (very hot, my hot water in my bathroom is almost boiling) and I was cleaning some guck off my shampoo/body wash bottles with the hot water and I was wondering if it melted a bit. I cannot see anything visible to the eye but I was wondering if it melted and it got inside the bottle into the soap. I know it sounds silly but Im not a scientist andi want to know

if you find barely used items at the dump can you resell them to the company that its from and make money? if you find beauty products that have never been used how do you recycle them without going to a landfill?

I had some beauty products that I didn't want anymore and didn't feel like going through the process of donating it (I know I should have)

but they were pretty much full, I just threw them in with the regular garbage. I want to know if it goes direcly in a landfill or if the garbage truck takes it to a sorting station to recycle?

I really just wantto know, I feel bad for the environment but now its too late

i turned 21 recently and didn't receive a card from my godmother who is close with my mother. lately my mom hasn't been speaking to her much lately because of her fathers death and stress with the family. I can tell my godmother is annoyed by it. she did speak to me and told me she was sending me a card but I never got anything. I know shed only send 100 bucks which isn't a lot but for a broke girl like me wholl be living on her own, I use those kinds of things for groceries or even the occasional shopping trip. 21 is a big deal, isn't it a milestone? I also received my Ged after years of struggling with eating and anxiety disorders.

I feel kind of hurt that she didn't send anything. am I being a baby?

so my mother is a hoarder and since its spring I decided to help her out and get rid of old things she hasn't worn in years. I would have given it to other people but they were so worn out I just decided to throw them out. I threw them down in garbage bags down our apartments trash chute. I forgot some things and I was out of bags so some articles of clothing I actually just threw down the chute without a bag. call me inconsiderate but I was just trying to do my spring cleaning.

anyway, my mom being the hoarder she is, found out and went to the compacter room and took back all of the clothes. she wore the 2 articles of clothing I threw down without a bag. I told her but she doesn't seem to care.

were clean people, wash our sheets every week, we are not dirty except for all the clutter in her closets. so I was wondering if we could catch any diseases from this?

i know all about not adding too much detergent to your laundry, I added less than the recommended amount but when the rinse cycle came, the water was sudsy. I live in an apartment complex so it could be the washers in the building old and worn out, or it could be soap in the towels from the previous wash (my mother always adds I feel a little more soap than you should). anyway, I couldn't afford to put them through again without any soap to rinse them, do you think this is okay?

i washed my clothes Friday but didnthave time to dry so I hung up my clothes. then Saturday they weren't dry yet so I decided to wash them again and then dry them. I never use too much soap, the recommended amount or less. but do you think there is residue in my clothes from washing them two times, using detergent each time?

i just found out I am pregnant but ive been eating a lot of tacos, that's what ive been craving. I make them by using old el paso refried beans and eating them in the oreta cornshells. I justfound out that they both have partially hydrogenated oils in them. should I be worried for my baby? The other day I scarfed down so much of it before I read that it was bad for you.

i was eating some bread and accidentaly ate a tiny piece of plastic that the bread came in. how long will it take for my body to digest it and pass through? should I be worried?
