Period Boat Camping Vacation! Help Me!?

Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:30:24 +0000

I’m thirteen and this will be my 3rd period.
I’m going to be on vacation camping with my dad.
We will be going out on a boat all day for some of the days, and I really don’t know how to deal with it on a boat as I will be swimming and going watersporting, there isnt really anywhere to change a tampon…
another problem is that as you dont know what time of day your period starts i might actually be ON the boat when it starts with no tampon inserted + will still be expected to go swimming.. not swimming is not really an option..
Also, where we are staying has a sceptic tank system so you cant flush tampons, should i just put them in the trash, also can you just put pads in the trash?
We also will be going trampolining, can i go on my period?
- does your period stop in water? how long after being in the water does it start again?
i need urgent help im really worried
how to deal with a period on a boat in front of people if it does leak?

please please help xxx

please help with economic question!?

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 05:03:01 +0000

Say you are watching your favorite television program, and a commercial comes on. A soothing voice begins to describe your imaginary vacation in the lush, tropical paradise of Timbucktoo (a remote island in the South Pacific-fictitious of course), while pictures of rain forests and secluded beaches flash across your T.V. screen.

The commercial begins to describe your daily itinerary while showing you the “gentle and friendly” native peoples of Timbucktoo, performing native dances and other activities to the delight of the tourists.

You begin to think (sadly enough!) about macroeconomics. You wonder about these “gentle and friendly” people of Timbucktoo living on an island thousands of miles away from anything out in the middle of the South Pacific, and you ask yourself why the people of Timbucktoo would desire tourism to come to their peaceful and secluded island? What could they possibly do with that added aggregate income (generated by tourism) when they are out in the middle of nowhere. What could they possibly spend their money on? What about the pollution and the noise? The hustle and bustle, the crime! And what about their peaceful and gentle way of life? Is it worth sacrificing for more income?

Please help with this Macro-Economics question?

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 04:49:28 +0000

As we have discussed, increases in GDP and aggregate income do not always mean the level of well-being and happiness increase as well for all citizens of a society. With this in mind, please explain your thoughts or insights regarding this hypothetical commercial.
