Question 1

do frats encourage or just condone partying?

Accepted Answer

Both!: It actually depends on the fraternity, but many of them are "clubs" that pressure young adults into excess.  Drugs, alcohol, partying, dangerous/risky activities are typical of most fraternities.  That's not to say that they are all bad or they should be abolished. Many also do a great deal of positive things for the community. They are just usually linked to outrageous partying!

Question 2

conmon age for stroke?

Accepted Answer

Elderly . . .: Old age is typically defined as 10yrs older than my/your current age. So common age for stroke is in older folks. However, a recent study suggests that risk for stroke in younger patients is increasing due to great risk factors as we are not taking good care of ourselves. These risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity & smoking, etc. Go see your family doc.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worry: Asbestos is a risk only after repeated exposure. A single event isn't anything to worry about.

Question 4

i am starting to get off oxy condone and i am diagnosed with severe chronic migraines is there any conditions or symptoms i should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Depends how long you: have been on oxycodone .If only for your hip surgery, then that's fine. If much longer, if you had been taking it for months, then psychological withdrawal may be challenging. Look for your migraine triggers, and avoid them, including dietary triggers (foods that start it up), and lack of sleep, stress, and other things that you want to watch out for. Also, choose treatment that makes sense 2 you.

Question 5

1 or 2 condoms?

Accepted Answer

No added protection: New, undamaged, good quality condom when used properly can be quite effective against unwanted pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Doubling up is not likely to offer you any additional benefit beyond what the condon is intended for, just costing 2x as much. Also, it is likely reduce the sensitivity and thus pleasure associated with relation. I am glad u r using it. Good luck.

Question 6

how to use condom?

Accepted Answer
