Just like to here different opinions.

Actually other QUES may not answer here. This thread is where I answer questions. If you want to pose that question to the general Bruh Public you'd need to start a thread for anyone to answer.

What makes a Good Bruh is one who has knowledge of self, upholds all of the Cardinal Principles and lives the tenets of the Fraternity.

This is not a smoke and screens answer. You'd have to be Greek to understand my response. More importantly you'd have to be an Omega to understand what makes a Good Bruh.

I hope that answered your question. If you have any follow up questions please let me know.

Psoriasis is a persistent skin disorder in which there are red, thickened areas with silvery scales, most often on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Some cases, of psoriasis are so mild that people don’t know they have it. Severe psoriasis may cover large areas of the body. Dermatologists can help even the most severe cases.

LOL, naw I'm straight. I was always just mad at Blue Star for curing all the ailments of the world with one small container "jock itch, psoriasis, ringworm, common cold, cancer, anything that ail's you" and psoriasis was the one that I'd never heard before.

Liposuction.

I'd rather see you do it the old fashioned way though. Now please take my suggestions with a grain of salt because I am not aware of your eating habits nor your exercise regimen.

1). I'd suggest that you start eating different. Reduce your intake of junk and fatty foods. Eat less fried food, less sugary food and less breads and grains. Eat at least three meals a day but in smaller portions. If you do go out to eat put HALF of your meal in a to go container off the top. Drink more water, less sodas and other drinks. Eat fruits after 7 pm.

2). Maintain this diet for about three weeks. You should also take a short walk after each meal, if you can. Nothing to get you sweating but about 7 to 10 minutes. You should notice a difference in your weight, depending on your prior diet.

3). After three weeks and once you've stablized your eating habits, start a cardio specific exercise regimen. Don't workout with weights just yet. Just focus on cardio. Aerobics, Tae Bo, Ballet Sculpting, Step Classes anything that gets you moving, your heart beating and your body sweating. Keep you heart rate elevated for at least 30-45 minutes. Early morning workouts are better since they get your metabolism jump started.

4) Maintain the workout regimen for about four weeks. Then add in weights and what ever else you would like. You should really see some results after week eight.

Unfortunately there is no quick and easy way to lose weight. It involves a two part commitment. And this is where most people fail. The first, and most important commitment, should be to the food you eat. The second part is commitment to exercise. Most people fail because they try to make both changes at one time. Stablize your eat habits first, because that will ultimately dictate your workout needs.

If you can't let sweets, extra portions and late night snacking go. You would have to step up your workout routine. Most folks think that working out 30 minutes means that they can celebrate and eat anything on the menu. NO. You have to find out what your diet will be, what you truly can live without and then find a routine that fits your actual caloric intake.

Other tips would include, park far away from you building, make sure it's safe to do so, and walk to your office.

Two reasons.

1). I think I can give a valid and satisfactory answer to most peoples general questions. I'm not a smartie artie or a know it all but I've had my share of experiences. So far I've only had to look up two topics to formulate an informed response. Those two being Laura Ashley and Psoriasis. I'd love for anyone who has a question bubbling in their mind to ask me one.

2). I'm addicted to the internet. So I'd really like something to read when I log on. I remembered that someone did something like this a while back on a site I used to go to. I figured I'd try it here to see what kind of feedback I'd recieve. If I have questions directed towards me then I'd be able to have something very specific to respond to when I log on.

I hope that answered your question. If you have any follow up questions please let me know.

Taken from this week's HC thread...
 
When a man approaches a woman and says "you gangsta" what does that mean? :confused:

05-13-2004 12:12 PM

I have a question for those of you who have asked questions. Was my response appropriate? Did it provide you with an answer that was acceptable or did it seem as if I was talking out of the side of my neck?

You can answer here or send me a PM.
