  • Phantom smells?

    For about a year and a half I have been getting these random smells come from nowhere. The scent lasts a few seconds and a lot of the time they are actually really pleasant and have been quite nostalgic and sometimes it smells awful or I know the smell but I can't put my finger on what it actually is. 

    Here are some things I have randomly smelt

    Ouch strawberry bubblegum

    2 different types of soaps with one being imperial leather

    tropical cordial

    cucumber

    banana smoothie

    millipede

    powdery mould

    yucky musky perfume

    cat feaces

    hot chips

    popping candy

    pink antibiotic liquid

    ginger beer

    fruit loops

    tutti frutti jungle chew

    licorice

    musk sticks

    vinegar

    toasted marshmallow

    cherry starburst

    This isn't all of them, just an example. I have been writing a list every time I smell something I recognise. I will be speaking to my GP but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced smelling things that aren't there.

  • Heaven, hell and religion?

    Why do many religious people worry about going to heaven or hell when in the King James Bible (the closest to the original bible) it specifically states- genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

    Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.

    Churches use heaven and hell as a scare tactic to follow their system and it just goes to show the bias in religion when they will read the bible recommended from their church and not get all their facts.

  • I don't understand why religious people are worried about whether they are going to heaven or hell when in the bible it Specifically states?

    That when you die you return to the dust in which you came and that you are conscious of nothing. And that you will remain that way until armageddon and judgement day. If you are accepted during the times of judgement you will return from the dust and live paradise on earth forever and eternity. I am agnostic and even I know that. So I think that people who believe that they are going to heaven or hell actually haven't READ the bible and are only believing in what their churches speak. The references to hell in the bible is talking about our earth and the suffering and devastation we are in, not a fiery inferno in which we suffer after we die.

  • Pregnant and desperate for help?

    I am 18 weeks pregnant and unbelievably itchy. I know it is normal to itch in the abdomen but I am extremely itchy on the top of my thighs, hips, back and side. Mainly on my right as well. It has been going on for almost a week and I have scratched that much my skin is burning. I went to the doctor and the hospital and got tested cholestasis and the blood tests came back clear. I should mention I have no rash. I have tried 2 different antihistemines, creams even a steroid cream prescribed by the doctor and nothing works. I am not sleeping because I am so irritated. Has anyone had this experience or have any idea what it could be. I am desperate for help.

  • constant dry lips, chapstick not working.?

    I have had dry lips for months now and are sore. I have been drinking a lot more water than usual hoping it would help and also with the dry lips I feel thirstier than usual. I first thought of diabetes but I am eating healthier now than 2 years ago and I have lost quite a bit of weight so I don't understand how it could be that. I have never had problems with my blood sugar levels even though it has been a while since my last test. Does anyone have any other ideas that could be causing this.

  • Help, regarding eyebrow waxing please?

    I had my eyebrows waxed today and I tried a different place to where I usually go. It is a company well known so I thought they would be good but now I am so embarassed.

Does anyone have any tips to help the hair grow quicker or something. I don't know. I can't stay in my house for 2 - 3 weeks. I don't know what to do. I would rather have bushy brows that what I have on my face at the moment.

  • 50th anniversary gift ideas?

    It is my Nanna's and Poppa's 50th wedding anniversary this weekend and I have no idea what to buy them. I can't afford a lot and the awkward part is that they don't really have anything in common. They are hard enough to buy seperate presents for let alone a joint present. If I had a bit more notice I would have had more of a chance finding something but I only found out about yesterday. Can anyone help me. I need to be able to give it to them on Sunday.

    I should also note they are both diabetics so chocolates are out of the question and they don't really like going out either.

  • Why don't people want to donate blood or their organs?

    I don't understand why people are so reluctant to donate blood or organs, how would you feel if someone in your family desperately needed a blood transfusion or they would die but no-one donated blood. 1 in 3 people will need some blood in their lifetime but only 1 in 30 people give blood. Just think how many people are dying because not many people are giving this liquid gold.

    I would absolutely love to donate but unable to and that frustrates me to no end. I wish I could give people a chance to live, why don't others feel the same.

    I am very fortunate that some people are kind enough to donate otherwise I wouldn't be here today and actually neither would my husband. It is such a precious gift.

  • How do some of you deal with Restless Leg Syndrome.?

    I have suffered restless leg syndrome for over 10 years, It is absolutely awful and I have major troubles sleeping. My neurologist said there is nothing that can be done but he did suggest some ways that may help a little. I have tried vitamin B6, Magnesium, calcium, Vitamin D and other vitamin and mineral tablets etc, I have also tried elevating my legs, bum, head etc. I have tried a bath with epsom salts (magnesium sulfate), I have tried sleeping pills and nothing helps. I have been told of some medication but I hear a lot of bad things about them and it causing augmentation.

    Does anyone else suffer RLS and how do you deal/manage it?
