Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder or is there a standard?

deltadom33 asked:


What people commonly term beauty is difficult, we live in a world which is influenced by the Media and TV to define what beauty is? When the Great Plague happened Fat people were in and in Africa as they lived longer. In our society were food is in abundance. Thin is in.

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30

Favour is another word for Charm, Someone who is charming is hiding something.
Beauty is a thing that is temporary as it will last but a moment.
Even personality if someone is nice or hot? How do you define Nice you do not know who they are?

Jer 17:9 - Show Context
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Do we have to have a plumbline on what beauty is?

How early in your pregnancy can you start to get morning sickness?

pregnancy
Nikki W asked:


About a week ago, I took a positive pregnancy test. I figure that I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks along, but I haven’t made it to the doctor yet, so I don’t know for sure. For the past three days I’ve felt extremely nauseous. I thought it was too early to be getting morning sickness, but my friend says it can start pretty early. Have I come down with something or is it really morning sickness?
Thanks.

Is there evidence that pregnancy causes the mother to develop an autoimmune disease?

pregnancy
Amanda asked:


My grandmother and a cousin both developed severe rheumatic autoimmune diseases after pregnancy, when being previously fine before pregnancy. I have not been able to find any additional evidence of pregnancy causing an autoimmune disease to develop, but am wondering if anyone knows of a link between the two, either clinical or anecdotal.

I realize that pregnancy has effects on women who already have autoimmune diseases, but am trying to weigh the risks of developing an illness from being pregnant. Any additional information would be very helpful. Thank you!
