Health Risks And Dangers Of Using Anabolic Steroids

Sunday, November 29th, 2009
Dane Fletcher asked:

It seems that the media is overwhelmed with warning us about the inherent danger that comes with the use of steroids, but also can’t help glorifying the people who use them. We are constantly being reminded that steroids can kill you. But when it comes to all of the different bodybuilding magazines and websites, they have chosen to show a more positive aspect of steroid use, and the muscle you can gain from it. The truth can be found in between these two aspects of steroids. The following are some aspects of steroids that are very important for bodybuilders, and anyone else who is planning on taking anabolic steroids.

Finding a Source

Steroids that you buy from people at the gym are usually known for being fakes. Sometimes they are even expired or toxic due to manufacturing faults. Unless you have obtained your steroids from a physician, it is more likely than usual that you have bought fake products.

Using Needles

For those who have very little experience with needles, it’s going to have to quickly become a familiar process. The procedure requires research, practice, and also courage. It takes guts and skill to be able to stick an inch of needle into your own body’s tissue without getting an infection.

Gynecomastia

Many of the bodybuilders who use anabolic steroids sometimes might receive breast tissue growth. This will result in embarrassing bumps near the nipples, which are usually known as “bitch tits”. These develop because of high estrogen levels, which is corrected by very expensive surgery.

Legal Issues

Unless you’ve been visiting another planet for the past few years, you’re no doubt knowledgeable of the recent chain of busts, which have led to the destruction of many suppliers and sellers of anabolic steroids. This means that suppliers and users all over the market are turning in their contacts and client information so that they can cut a deal and receive a less harsh punishment. Some shops are still operating, but they are now illegal. So unless the idea of being sent to jail or having to pay a large fine is appealing to you, buying steroids, even from someone you know, is not the best idea in the world.

Steroids have become an unavoidable aspect of top-level amateur and professional bodybuilding competition. But for the normal people in the gym, they are not seen as a sensible or responsible decision. It’s important to think about the possible consequences while going through the decision to use, and also to initiate your decision having gathered as much research as you can. There are no re-do’s when it comes to your health, not to mention the law.

What are the Signs of a Cheating Girlfriend?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Daniel Hartman asked:

When you are in love, it’s the best feeling in the world, which is why it’s so terrible once you realize that it might have been betrayed! Many of us find that our significant others are cheating and the revelation is something that can lead to a number of different changes in our lives, but first you have to catch them. When you are looking for the signs of a cheating girlfriend, you’ll find that there are many things that you should look for, and while on their own, they are not necessarily conclusive, you should be very nervous if you recognize some or all of these.

1. Suddenly dressing up more.

If you have been with your girlfriend for a while, there is a good chance that you have grown used to seeing her in her normal, everyday, beat around the house clothing. There’s nothing wrong with this; it means that she is comfortable with you and that familiarity is something that has grown between you. If you notice that she has suddenly started looking a lot sharper, it might be a cause for concern, so ask her what’s up.

2. Cut off phone conversations

If you walk in on her unexpectedly while she’s on her phone, she might suddenly break off the conversation, or oddly enough, start talking louder, as if she is saying that she has nothing to hide. Both of these things can tell you that she is hiding something, and while it might be totally innocent, you might find that in the end, it is not. This is suspicious behavior, so think about how often you see it.

3. Covering friends

If you have a lot of contact with your girlfriend’s friends, you may find that one of the signs of a cheating girlfriend is that they start covering for her. She’ll head out to hang out with them unexpectedly, or you might find that they are calling to let you know that she will be late. In any case, you’ll find that the increased contact with her friends mean that they are telling you what she wants you to hear.

Discovering that your girlfriend is cheating can be an extremely terribly thing to see, but keep in mind that it is a common one. Though there are plenty of standard signs that your girlfriend is cheating you, remember that mostly, it will be a change in attitude and behavior.

Knowing What the Mother of the Bride Should be Doing

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Joe Silla asked:

#1 goal is to make sure that the bride’s wishes are carried out the way that she wants them to be.  The mother of the bride is there to help her to make sure that what she wants and what she needs happens. 

It is very important that the mother of the bride allows for the bride’s tastes, desires and needs to be provided for.  This does not mean that they can dictate what happens, but rather should insure that what does is what the bride wants.

As one of the largest role players, here are her responsibilities:

-    The Wedding Attire.  The mother of the bride should help to find the perfect dress for the wedding, including undergarments and accessories.  Not your tastes, but hers should come through.

-    Guest Lists.  The mother of the bride should help to organize guest lists, coordinating with the mother of the groom.  If the mother of the groom does not contact her, she should make the first attempt. 

-    Help the bride and groom determine their wedding budget.  While she should not do all the work, she should help them allocate where money is going and what are the important aspects to consider.

-    Out of Town Guests.  Those guests that are coming from out of town on the bride’s side of the family should be well taken care of by the mother of the bride. 

Arranging accommodations and transportation for them is her responsibility.  Often this can be minimized if a block of rooms is available to guests at the local hotels as needed by the mother of the bride.

-    Wedding Gowns.  You will select your wedding dress first, but you need to immediately tell the mother of the groom what style and color it is so that she can match or coordinate hers with yours.

-    Wedding Ceremony.  The mother of the bride will need to insure that all the direction for the wedding is given and understood.  Where will people stand, sit and how it all will happen are just a few of these concerns.  Insure that the receiving line is set up properly as well.

-    Hostess.  As the mother of the bride, you are the hostess of the reception.  Have someone help you to plan and execute it.

Filipina Lady Dating — Online Dating Scams

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Filipina Eyes asked:

As a online dating webmasters, I get emails asking me how to detect a scammer. It is tough. When a member joins a site, they don’t put in their profile, “hey, I’m joining so I can try to scam money from other members”. Only after they try to commit the scamming deed do we know their true intentions. When that happens, it should be reported to the webmaster.

The following list was my guideline when looking for online dating love. Each person’s judgment varies and ultimately are responsible for their own decisions. The following has no guarantees, but if it works for you so be it.

1. Don’t send money to a person you are getting to know. During the getting to know each other stages, money should not be a topic. My wife never asked me for a dime during our courtship. Only after time invested in getting to know each other and marriage was discussed did we talk about expenses. Major financial decisions should be reserved for when the relationship is beyond the get to know each other stage and is heading for marriage. Only you can decide when that is.

2. Time is your ally. Most scammers do not like to exchange a lot of emails when their main objective is to get money. They want to get as much money in the short amount of time they can. In other words, they usually are not into long courtships, not unless that courtship includes you sending money on a regular basis.

3. Template letters or emails is usually a sign. If an email seems like it could of been copied and pasted to send to anyone, a red flag should be waving in front of your eyes. If they are not at least addressing some identifiable information about you when replying to your email, be careful.

4. Chatting — this is not the case for all, but I have to address it. Most scammers want to get you in an intimate conversation as soon as possible. They love to invite you to chat knowing they can pull at your heart strings in real time and learn if you are a mark or not. Personally, I would want to exchange several emails and even letters before chatting. There may be one exception to this, but I would still limit my time. If I suspected the person’s photo may not be who they say they are, I would want to chat with a webcam, but only do so for 5 or 10 minutes. Again, I’d rather invest time to getting to know each other by email or letter and if the other person is interested in you, they will also want to equally invest their time.

5. Endearments — why would anyone be calling another person, honey, sweetheart, lover, etc, within a few emails or within a short amount of time? First, it is disrespectful. When I was courting my wife and if I would of called her sweetheart after only a few emails she would of walked away. She doesn’t care for that type of arrogance and would take it as an insult to the Filipino culture. Respectful Filipina ladies are aware of the stereotypes and any man who tries to exploit another lady based on misguided cultural believes is not a gentleman. The same goes for ladies. If they are calling you honey, sweetie, etc, within a few emails or while chatting early in a relationship, I would be careful. It is not appropriate or the right time. If you are calling someone sweetheart early on in a relationship and they happen to be a scammer, you just made their job easier. Use words that is appropriate for the relationship stage you are involved in out of respect for their culture and to protect yourself from being a mark for a scammer.

The above is not all inclusive, but may help those who need some guidance. With that said, there are no definitive rules when it comes to love or courtship. Ultimately, common sense needs to prevail and only you can decide what is and what is not appropriate for you. With that said, I still say: don’t fall for any story that sounds too good to be true, don’t send money during the get to know each other stage of a relationship (unless the expense is minor and you decide it is not a financial burden) and let time be your friend. If red flags go off but you are not sure, at least slow down, take your time and get to know each other.

I remember watching a 60 minute show about a guy who was being scammed. He lost everything, even his house. Whatever the girl wanted, he bought. Unlike some, I did not feel sorry for the guy. I sat in wonderment thinking how he could be so stupid. Maybe he could falter one time, but to continue to send money to a lady he never met was financial suicide. He was desperate for love. A recipe for disaster. If you are this desperate for love and your judgment is that poor, do yourself a favor and don’t look for love on the internet.

Where are scammers? — E V E R Y W H E R E. They are on yahoo, youtube, myspace, online dating sites, etc. Even the big boys, like youtube (owned by google), can’t stop them. Instead they ask that members report when a person uses their site inappropriately. On Filipina Lady I ask the same. Any dating site who says they never had a scammer is probably lying or they are super unaware. There are times that members will not report a scammer from embarrassment. It is better to report them. On my site I do ask that you provide some evidence of scamming. I have had people falsely report someone for scamming because they were rejected by that person.

Finding love should not be a fast food mentality. It took me and my wife almost a year before we knew that it was meant to be. Oh sure, my hormones was in high gear, but I knew that true love was about commitment, time and a lifetime of happiness. For me, it worked. Whatever time table you are on may not be the same as mine, but if you think you are in love within a few emails and a couple of chats, you may want to step back and assess your judgment. For me, years later, I’m more in love with my wife than I ever was. I wake up every morning knowing I’m with someone who loves me for me. No doubts, no questions – the love and respect is mutual and will last a lifetime.

Good luck and happy holidays to all.
