I have always been under the impression that "Indian" was a derogatory term towards aboriginals/natives.

Since, you know, Indians are from India.

Not as bad as the n-word for blacks, but I thought it was somewhere along the lines of calling a white person a "cracker" - disrespectful.

Or is it like the n-word, in that they can call themselves and each other Indians, but if someone else does, it's bad?

It's technically incorrect, but I don't think many people consider it derogatory.

Yeh, I guess it's worse when you refer to them as In-juns. That's probably what I was thinking of when I thought Indians was the derogatory slang.

In any case, I refer to them as Natives. Just seems proper.

You might want to ask her why she uses the term Indians. I imagine she would be happy to explain if your curiosity is genuine. The answer might be enlightening.

Added bonus if you start the question off by raising your hand and saying "How".

So bad, but I have to remember to rep this post later on.

I am dying to take up some old-lady habits. I really want to learn to knit or crochet. There are such wonderfully creepy little things being made now by younger knitters.

All groups of people, just like people themselves, have their good and positive qualities.

That said, personally, I fear aging more than I fear death.

OK this is quite a serious question I am posing. I am putting it in spoilers because I want only people who are willing to give me a serious response, because it is actually starting to worry me a bit. It's a medical issue. So yeh, if you can't give me a serious answer, either don't read it, or don't bother replying.

For almost two weeks now, I have been having recurring pains in my left testicle. The pain goes right up into the top of my groin. It happened about 10 days ago for the first time, and I thought maybe I had been hit or something and didn't realize it. Then a few days ago it happened again...I didn't really think anything of it, though, until it has begun to happen again today.

I know I should probably go to the doctor for this, but I am really scared about what they could possibly find.

Don't let fear keep you from getting this checked out. You need to go to the doctor immediately. It could be something relatively simple. A kid I knew in high school had a similar problem and it turned out it was "tangled", for lack of a better word. It happened while he was playing soccer. They did a minor procedure on him and he was fine.

But I don't really do any intense physical activity...aside from walking every day and going to work - which is not labour intensive at all - I can't imagine what could cause an injury like that with me.

Do the symptoms I ddescribed sound similar to what your friend had?

If something is wrong, its wrong. Not going to a doctor isn't going to change that. Don't be scared. A doctor might be able to fix it. Doing nothing can potentially make the problem worse.

Go to the doctor. It'll set your mind at ease just knowing.

Yes, but he had swelling as well. It can happen from having a hole in your boxers, or any number of things. It's not just physical activity. Get it checked. You'll feel better afterward.

A big part of my fear is that I still haven't switched doctors from that guy that suggested earlier in the year that I go on a diet consisting of a handful or two of berries every day.

I think this will be incentive enough to do it, though. I'll call Monday and book an appointment with another person.

Either that or go to an emergency center. I would for something like that. I wouldn't wait until the weekend was over.

Yes. Check it out ASAP. Waiting two weeks for an appointment isn't ideal.

Unfortunately with the wait times in Canadian hospitals/ER's, I'd probably be waiting 'til Monday anyways.

Plus I just don't have time this weekend...homework, work, etc. I'll call Monday for sure, first thing.

My two cats have been infested with fleas of late, so my girlfriend took them down to the vet yesterday and got them Frontline. Today, the white cat literally has dozens of little dead flea bodies hanging throughout his coat. The stuff is amazing.

Do you have to bathe them once all the fleas are dead? Or will the cat clean them out itself?

I've been brushing them out. The cats should do the rest. Since the fleas are dead, they pretty much just work their way through the cat's coats and fall out.

Well, I suppose since the fleas are dead, at least the cats will be getting a little extra protein for the next few days.

Was that too far? Sorry if it was.

Don't fuck around with pain like that Megs. It could be a...

...urinary tract infection, which could spread up to your kidneys, and then you're in big trouble. I had symptoms like yours about a month ago, and I got my ass to the doctor as soon as I could. It turned out to be nothing, but if it was something else, well... you don't wanna wait on shit like that. Book an appointment and get in as soon as you can.

Sorry, don't mean to scare ya. Just wanna make sure you understand the importance of having stuff like this looked at right away.
