| Intestines are really really long. How do they fit? :? They probably fit because of the way they are 'folded' into the body. It's like that one analogy with the backpack and the rope: if someone just bunches up a 30ft rope into a backpack, it won't fit. But, if someone carefully coils it, it will f... |

| I am wondering if we have any hypochondriacs here. I myself am not one. I am not really worried about having any diseases or mental disorders too much. Also, by hypochondria, I'm including people who are trying to find the disorder that fits them the best even if they don't worry about having it; t... |

| My friend has Borderline. It must be hard to live with. Hey, Neant. How do you live with it? I was hoping you could give me some advice that I could pass on to my friend. This may or may not be true of, or of value to your friend, but there is considerable controversy as to the validity of borderli... |

| LOL, actually, I've never even *seen* Farscape -- I don't think we get it here. The name was an product of my twisted mind that resulted from the incredibly annoying way that most people in the area I live pronounce my real name. Oh well, so much for being original :roll: . Thank you all so much for... |

Rats cannot vomit.
They're also color-blind, though I don't think the two things are related  . |

| Well, I think it's time for me to get up the nerve to introduce myself. I guess you could say that I am semi-diagnosed with AS -- the psychologist I am seeing finally decided that I "probably" had it. :roll: I'm not sure that an official diagnosis will really change anything -- when I first read abo... |

| I'm not sure whether this is exactly palilalia, but after I've spoken with someone, I very often find myself repeating the sentences over and over in my head. If I'm on my own and lost in my own head (which is a large percentage of the time) it is incredibly hard to keep from repeating them under my... |

| Are you Canadian, by any chance? We generally use university to refer to the "higher level" post-secondary schools (bachelor's degrees, masters, Ph.D, etc.) whereas college usually refers to community colleges or trade schools. There are probably exceptions, though. I gather that in the U.S., colleg... |

| I'm not well up on Eating Disorders but I believe most (and correct me if I'm wrong) anorexics and bulemics encur a lifelong struggle. I think success stories would have less sway with them often times simply because it's a matter of learning to see themselves as anything but fat and not always "ho... |

| Hello, I'm sorry to just jump in without introducing myself formally... But I just had to say that I was anorectic for many years (hardcore, details unnecessary), and am now 100% fully recovered (much to my own amazement). So it is possible, though unfortunately not as common as I would wish it. :oo... |
