Summarize the following:
Women kissing women has become more common in popular culture over recent years. If the woman is open about a past experience with a woman, there is a chance she would want to do it again.  You would need to gather more information, though, such as whether she liked doing it, who initiated it, and the context surrounding what happened. If her past or present includes girl-on-girl porn, that’s another dead giveaway. If a woman enjoys watching a woman pleasure another woman, there’s a chance she’s imagining what it would be like to feel that way herself. Start generically. Ask which celebrity she has a crush on, and see if she names a woman. Or ask directly which female celebrity she finds the most attractive, and why, and see how she responds.  Bring up issues in the news like gay marriage to see how she reacts. Such issues can be contentious, but broaching them can give you clues about her sexuality. You could mention that you are gay or bi to see how she reacts. Recognize that being bisexual can be a very confusing experience for some people. She might be very unclear about any of it, so resist the urge to label and seek bottom-line pronouncements. Just gather information. The best way to find out if a woman is bisexual is to ask her. Do this in a roundabout way at first, though, and if she’s giving you more signals she might be bisexual, eventually come out and ask.   For example, start by inquiring what she thinks of bisexuality. Or whether she’s ever found another woman attractive. Or whether she’s ever kissed a girl. If you show an openness and genuine empathy and interest in her experiences, without judgment or pressure, she may level with you. Don’t be over-serious. Ask in a casual, light-hearted way. A woman might be bi-curious, meaning she wants to explore sexual activity with a member of the same sex.  Such a person might be bisexual or they just aren’t sure. A bisexual person is clearly attracted to people of both sexes, not just in it to see if they are.   Of course, a bi-curious person could learn they are bisexual with more experience. Sexuality can be very fluid. Bisexual women sometimes get sick of being asked clichés. It’s always a good idea to avoid generalizing any group of people and to instead get to know her as an individual.  Insisting she must really be gay or implying that she’s bisexual because she wants to have a lot of sex with different people or insisting you can change her (and make her either straight or gay) are things to avoid. Don’t assume she’s bisexual because she doesn’t like or had a bad experience with men. Let her explain how she sees her own bisexuality. Let her define herself and her experiences. Make her feel comfortable talking about it. Tell her how much you respect gay and bisexual people and how many friends you have that are bisexual. Let her know that you think it is okay and that she can trust you Don’t make quick judgments about her. The bottom line is that, although there are some ways to get clues, there is no way to know for sure if someone is bisexual just by looking at them.

summary: Figure out whether she has had past experiences with women. Tease out her feelings. Go ahead and just ask her. Know the difference between bi-curiosity and bisexuality. Avoid saying things that might insult her.


Summarize the following:
Drink plenty of water and other clear fluids throughout the day. This can help you produce enough urine to flush out the crystals that can build up in your kidneys and form stones. For most people, drinking 3 litres (13  c) to 4 litres (17  c) every day is enough. If you’re not sure whether you’re drinking enough water, talk to your doctor. They can do tests to find out if you are producing a healthy amount of urine. Foods with oxalate in them can contribute to the formation of certain kinds of kidney stones, such as calcium oxalate stones. Try to avoid common foods containing oxalate, such as:  Rhubarb Beets Spinach Swiss chard Sweet potatoes Chocolate Tea Black pepper Soy Nuts If you have a history of kidney stones, sticking to a diet that is low in sodium and meat can help. Both salt and animal products can cause substances to accumulate in your urine that may trigger the formation of stones.  Try to eat no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Depending on your history, your doctor may recommend reducing your sodium intake even more, to around 1,500 mg per day. Limit your meat intake each day to a piece no larger than a deck of playing cards. Although too much calcium in your urine can lead to kidney stones, it’s still important to get calcium in your diet. To avoid getting too much calcium while still meeting your dietary requirements, opt for foods with calcium in them rather than using calcium supplements.  Foods with a high calcium content include many green vegetables (such as collard greens, broccoli, and kale), dairy products (like milk, yogurt, and cheese), and certain kinds of seafood (such as canned fish with bones).  Your body absorbs calcium more easily if you take it with vitamin D. Look for foods and drinks fortified with both calcium and vitamin D (such as some juices and dairy products).  If you’re not sure how much dietary calcium you should be getting, ask your doctor. They can recommend a good amount based on factors like your age, sex, and overall health. These supplements can help reduce the buildup of substances in your urine that cause kidney stones. Ask your doctor if they recommend magnesium and potassium citrate supplements for you. Talk to your doctor about the best dosage of these supplements. Urologists usually recommend a total of 1,600 mg of potassium citrate and 500 mg of magnesium citrate per day. Some supplements can contribute to kidney stones. For example, high doses of vitamin C and vitamin D can lead to kidney stones. Show your doctor any supplements you are or plan on taking to make sure they won't cause a recurrence of kidney stones. If your doctor approves a supplement, ask them for the correct amount you should be taking. A supplement may be healthy in small amounts but harmful in large doses. The best way to do this is to eat plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants can reduce your risk of developing kidney stones by reducing the amount of calcium oxalate in your urine.  Good sources of antioxidants include berries, apples, citrus fruits, artichokes, kale, bell peppers, and fruit juices (such as pomegranate juice).  Take care to avoid antioxidant sources that are also oxalate-rich, such as sweet potatoes and nuts.

Stones tend to form on the side where you usually sleep. If you have a tendency to get kidney stones on one side of your body, try sleeping on the other side for a while. If you currently have a kidney stone and you are waiting for it to pass, sleeping on the side with the stone in it may actually help. Once the stone is out, switch to sleeping on your other side. Maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent the formation of kidney stones. If you struggle with your weight, talk to your doctor or a dietitian about the best approach for losing weight and keeping it off. Kidney stones are linked to insulin resistance. If you are overweight, losing weight can help your body metabolize insulin more effectively. Depending on the type of kidney stones you tend to get, your doctor may be able to prescribe something to prevent new stones from forming. Some of the common preventative medications include:  Medications containing thiazide or phosphate to prevent the formation of calcium stones. Allopurinol to prevent uric acid stones. Antibiotics to prevent struvite stones.
summary: Stay hydrated. Cut back on oxalate-rich foods. Avoid salt and animal protein. Eat foods rich in calcium. Take magnesium-potassium citrate supplements. Ask your doctor before taking any supplements. Incorporate antioxidants into your diet. Change your usual sleeping position. Practice healthy weight-management techniques. Talk to your doctor about medications to prevent kidney stones.
