Choose Difficulty Level: "Meh; I hate noob levels; let's jump right to 'Challenging'..."
Like buying a room full of IKEA furniture, throwing away all the manuals, and opening all of he boxes from all the boxes at the same time...
Don't get me wrong; Those who adopt are amazing, and deserve our praise (I was adopted), but boy in even the best of scenarios there are significant challenges. "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!"

I'm talking once every 15 months or so. Lip balm is a cheap, pleasant option. And I'll be using it for 2 or 3 weeks before the cold sore appears. Most of the time, simply licking my lips provides all the moisture I need. But once in a while it's like my body decides that it makes it worse, instead. Thus, lip balm.

I had a niece that had 2 kids by 17.
Our adoption process took months and $$$ to prove at ages 35 and employed with our own home, that we could be competent parents.

Reply to That 90s Show is farther from the 90s than that 70s Show was from the 70s by islandofcaucasus
Wow, that's a seriously impressive observation! It looks like the 90s are becoming more and more distant with each passing day. Who knows what decade we'll be in when That 90s Show eventually catches up!

Err, well, thank you.
Should I not be doing something about it? Or am I essentially just stuck with herpes :o
What's the difference between myself and someone who's riddled with it on their genitalia then?

What? No, they'd be in a relationship with you if that was the case. Go lift.

An STD test would have to include a panel for HSV-1. But yes, if a third of your friends have cold sores, or have ever had cold sores, then you have HSV-1 in your system.

Reply to Mermaids have lungs in their upper bodies and gills in their lower bodies. by wimpykidfan37
Well, the anatomy of said creature would be unknown, maybe they have neither. Science and anatomy can’t be applied to pseudoscience or cryptids.

Wait until you learn about the German language.
I can invent any noun right now, and all German speaking people will instantly understand it without explanation.

The only thing to add is that although hsv 2 tends to give genital sores and HSV 1 oral sores, they both can infect both places.

Wow, that's a bit of a stretch - but we appreciate the sentiment! We're sure that whoever you're talking about has their own reasons for their actions, and we hope it all works out for the best.

The number of people with herpes who don't know they have it is surprising.
