The FDA has published a list of medications that it recommends against throwing away with the trash. If someone were to find and ingest these medications, he or she could face serious health consequences. Many communities have programs that allow you to bring in unused medications so that they can be disposed of safely and properly. Call a local pharmacy to find out if they can dispose of your medication. In some states, although not all, they have an unused medication disposal program that the pharmacies themselves may use to dispose of outdated medications. Consider donating your unused medications to third world countries. There are organizations you can find online. Alternatively, consider contacting your local Emergency Rooms, occasionally they will collect usable supplies and medications for donation out-country. Call your local trash service - they might have household waste facilities that will incinerate the medication. Contact your local hospital or medical center who will place unused medications into their Bio Hazard containers for incineration. All hospitals have this option so there is never a need to toss or flush unused medication. If your medication is on the FDA's list of medications that should not be thrown out, and you have no other immediate way of disposing of them, flushing might be the best option.

Summary: Determine whether your medication is considered potentially dangerous. Look into community drug disposal programs. Flush if you have no other option. Finished.

A valid offer has three elements: communication, commitment, and definite terms. This means that you must communicate the offer in written, oral, or otherwise understandable form. Your offer must include a commitment to be bound to the terms of the agreement, and the terms must be clear and precise. For example, you may say to your neighbor, "I'd like to sell you my 2010 pontoon boat for $5,000. I am willing to finance it for you if you pay me $1000 per month for 5 months." The offer is made orally, there is a commitment (to give the boat to your neighbor in exchange for money), and definite terms (an exact boat and dollar amount are named.) An offer has to be considered fair by both parties to be considered valid. This may also be referred to as a "good faith" offer. Fairness is a tricky concept in contracts, but in general, it presumes that both parties will not manipulate the other or try to bend or break the terms through shifty tactics or twisting wording. Consideration in a contract is the agreement by all parties about what they are going to do or refrain from doing. Consideration should be fair and equitable. For example, if your neighbor agrees to buy your boat, her consideration is giving you money. Your consideration is surrendering the boat in exchange for that money. The consideration is fair, in this case, if the value of the boat is close to the price that is being asked. A fair offer will not provide conditions that are unlikely or impossible to meet. For example, you wouldn't want to stipulate that your neighbor must pay you $1000 per month, in $1 bills, for 5 months. While this is technically legal if your neighbor agrees to it, it places an unusual burden on her and may not hold up if the contract is challenged later. An offer alone is meaningless unless it has been accepted by the offeree. The offeree may accept an offer as-is, or she may change the terms of the offer. For most contracts, changing the terms of an offer negates the initial offer and creates a new counter-offer. For example, your neighbor may agree that she wants to buy the boat, but she might want you to finance it by accepting $500 per month for 10 months instead. This does not constitute an acceptance of your offer, but a new counter-offer, which you can now choose to accept or decline. If you plan on having a verbal or oral contract -- which most lawyers don't recommend -- taking notes at the time of making the agreement will help you if the contract is later challenged. Taking notes can also help you when you draw up the written contract. You won't have to rely on your memory of the terms because they will all be written down.

Summary: Make a valid offer. Think about consideration. Negotiate offer acceptance. Take notes.

The external sphincter is what controls whether you will go to the bathroom or not. Normally, you'll tighten this muscle without even thinking about it when you need to go, but you may find squeezing your anal cheeks together also helps. Clench until the urge to go to the bathroom goes away. Exercise tends to get things moving, partially due to the way it jostles your organs around. Instead, try to keep as still as possible to hold it in. Kegel exercises can help strengthen your anal muscles, which in turn can help you hold in your poop. To do these exercises, you tighten and hold your pelvic floor muscles and then release. To make sure you're using your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in the middle of going. Those muscles are the ones you need to work. However, don't make a habit of stopping your urination in the middle of going, as it can be detrimental. Just do it once or twice to get an idea of what muscles you need to use. For men, try holding for 3 seconds and then releasing for 3 seconds, working on a set of 10. For women, hold for 5 seconds, and release for 5 seconds, repeating for a set of 10. Both men and women should do a set of 10 3 times a day. This over-the-counter drug, commonly known as Immodium, can help stop you up when you have diarrhea. Take as directed on the back of the bottle, and keep in mind that you can become constipated if you us this drug too much. It's best to avoid this drug while pregnant or nursing. Kids 6 and older can safely take a kid's version of this medication. Another over-the-counter option for slowing down diarrhea is bismuth subsalicylate, also known as Pepto Bismol or Kaopectate. Take this medication in liquid or pill form, depending on your preference. It's best to avoid this drug while pregnant, though talk to your doctor if you're having an issue.

Summary: Tighten your sphincter. Avoid exercising or moving around too much. Work on Kegel exercises. Use loperamide. Take bismuth subsalicylate.
