Q: Hi. I just got my ears pierced (Yeah I know most people get thst done really young but I'm different) anywayz i read on the little leaflet thing that you have to keep the earrings they first put into your ear for 6months?? At the beggining of summer I want to know if it would be ok to just switch earrings anyway?? I got them pierced at the beggining of summer so the earrings wouldn't have been changed for 3 months

when i got my ears pierced, i had to keep them in for 6 weeks. it probably would be ok if you switched them- but make sure they're in for at least 3 weeks before you take them out and switch. i think you'll be ok. :]

Q: I need your help deciding what the ideal menu for a public dinner would be.

Not knowing what would be the best dishes to serve is making this an impossible task.

If you will tell me your favorite foods, or point me to your favorite recipes, it would really help a lot.

You can list as many things as you like. They don't have to be fancy things at all. I am all about the comfort food baby! :)

This will be a mixed group of people so I would like to have something for everyone.

Cooking for a banquet is not as hard as trying to figure out WHAT to cook!

Everyone will receive feedback.

Thank you!

P.S. If all that was a lot to digest, pun intended, here is a summary: Please list all your favorite foods.

chicken fingers
french fries
salad~any type
baked bread with butter
pizza
hamburgers
hotdogs?
any thing that makes you hungry! have fun, think of your favorite foods! :]

Q: So i got my hair permantly straightened and now i leave it down all the time and it bores me to death.

i tryed to bobby pin my bangs like big how everyone does but i part my hair and you can see like a line of no hair, i dont know if that makes sense of whatever. but i dont know what to do!

and how do girls get their hair so big from the top and so thin and straight from the bottom, can i do that?

my hair is
color: dark brown
length: up to boobs
cut/style: "bangs" up to my chin ( cuz i wanna tie it up with out anything falling down, it will bother me) and like layers

any step by step instructions that arent too difficult?
websites are fine, but i like it if its in your own experience

can i still curl my hair?
scrunch it?

my hair is the exact same way, except, it's naturally wavey. when i straighten it, i can never get a pomp, like bobby pinning it on top with a bump. i think it's how our hair is. my friend can do it perfectly. i still curl it and scrunch. it's easy. what i would do is have a friend help you when you do your hair, or get that one spot wet, and then put it up. i hope i helped a little. :]

Q: hey i know hollister has sales on clothes sometimes.but i was on their website and saw a lot of nice stuff on the clearance i was wondering if anyone was at the store reccently and saw a lot of stuff on sale because i dont want to order it all online and it might not fit..thanks a lot

hey- i was just there yesterday. they do have a lot of things on sale for like $16 right now! i got a few shirts on sale. otherwise, it's all the same price. i live in california, so i don't know about your hollister store, and if it's the same or no. :] good luck... hope you find something.

Q: o-k, i'm really confused... i ave my friend a really good present 4 her b-day, & she hasn't used it yet. it has been 2 1/2 months since i gave it to her. what should i do? it was an a.e. gift card, and it makes me kinda mad and forgotten. she was so excited too. ?!?!!? plez help!!!!
friend troubles.... :c(D

1st of all, calm down.. it's not the end of the world if she hasn't used your gift yet. maybe she hasn't had time to go to the mall. give her some time, and when she can go, she'll use it. if you really want her to use it, then invite her to go with you. that way she'll bring it and use it. sh ewill get something cute! it's for a.e. !
best wishes.... :]

Q: See .. the truth is..
I gave my heart away a long
time ago; my whole heart..& a heart don't forget
I never really got it back.. somethin' like that.

^^ ^^^^^^^^^
Anyone know what thys is from? i think its from sweet home alabama? but im not shure... and also if it is, is all that correct? thankss :D

yes, it is from that, i believe it goes like this:

The truth is I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart and I never really got it back.

i hope i helped. :]

Q: ive been having problems with my ankles for a very long time - they constantly crack and it can be very uncomfortable. then my shoulder started doing the same thing (after i had been training - and using weights) and now my knees hurt. my mom said she would take me to a doctor who specializes in joints but i am scared to death of needles and there is no way im going if they have to do any blood work. my mom said there may have to be blood taken. is anyone experienced enough with this to know if blood work is usually needed for this kind of thing?

i have had some of those problems before too. don't worry, all my doctor did was twist my ankle around, massage it, crack it a little, and i was fine, it was all better. no blood work was needed. i'm sure you'll be fine. i hope i helped! :] good luk!

Q: 14/f

Over the past three years i've cared a lot more about my appearance than when i was in elementary school. I've always been skinny, naturally tan, and a pretty face. But lately i've been around guys a lot more, and i've heard and witnessed what they want in terms of girls.

While i've always tried to be skinny, the guys i'm close with are always checking out kind of chubby girls, thick girls, not necessarily with good feautures on their face.

And now i'm confused. Should i try and make myself look more like what i want to look like, or what guys seem to want me to look like? Because as much as i'd like not to change, i want boys to like me. Help?

ok- just stick with the apparance the bast fits you. stay with who you are, and if the boys don't like your appearance, then ask them why they stare at fat girls all the time. do what you think is the better choice, i mean you've worked hard to keep your body in shape, so you should stick with that. the guys will get over that type of girl, and will like you again. don't worry. best wishes to you. :]

Q: i recently replaced coffee with green tea. will this benefit me in any way?

yes, it will. green tea is good for you, and it will help you in many ways. when you drink coffe, you stop growing, and you get really bad breathe. :]

Q: Hey =] I went of the American Eagle website and saw tons of cute bathing suits! do they sell them in the store to or only online? thanks in advance!

you can get them in the store, too. but only some. find your favorite one online, and find it in the store. if you don't then try another on just to see how they fit. hollister has a lot of cute ones right now, too. good luck! :]

Q: is there a site or something where you can download TV episodes WITHOUT paying. cuz i tried downloading in like iTunes and you have to pay. so, are there any free ones?

thanks :)

there's lime wire. it's free, but not safe.

Q: so theres this guy. and hes liked me since 4th grade, but i never liked him. But, now, he doesnt like me anymore and I like him. We're friends though. So I have friends that kind of "outshine" me. so whenever we all see each other in the hallway, they are funnier than me, and i think he likes them better. How do I get him to notice me? How do I get him to like me? Please answer, thanks.

hey, i had that same problem, then i didn't like him anymore because i like another guy. if you want him to like you then be yourself, and don't act like someone you're not. guys like that, or you could be funny, they like humor and sarcasim. if you want him to noticeyou, then wear super noticable clothes, not tiny, but super cute and hot. i hope you find more ways! :]

Q: So I have this friend. And shes the most popular in our "group". Shes really funny and popular and she knows it. What do I do about this?

Also, she used to be my best friend. But lately shes been hanging out with this other girl. All three of us hang out together sometimes. But theyre kind of mean to me, just in a teasing kind of way. They say I always have these "blonde moments" and they gave me a nickname for it. Anyway, how do I get them to stop teasing me, how do I get closer to Heather, and how do I make her stop thinking that shes the shit? Thanks so much.

o-k, well i have a situation like that too, but it's my friend who gets teased. i don't tease her but some of my SNOBBY friends do. i feel bad, so i talk to them, but they just go back andtease her more because she's short. like 4 ft. short. try to hang out with heather and her other friend at the same time, see what happens, its not like they're gonna ask you to leave. if they do, then walk away, or hang out with another person. if your friends tease tyou, then speak up, i know how that feels. my friend thinks she is the most popular girl in school, but she isn't. you'll find a way. i'm sorry if i didn't really help you that much. best wishes to you! :]

Q: what should i do? i didn't go to soccer practice for a long time, and i have a game today! i might be sitting out the whole game! what should i do? plz help me! :]

just try your hardest and you will achieve your goal. and score a goal.

Q: what hurts more...getting ur belly button pierced for your cartilige on ur ear?

i would say that getting your bellybutton pierced hurts more because it's a more sensitive spot than your ear. but your ear has more cartilige, but it still wouldn't hurt as bad.

Q: Ok I feel i have to be perfect. I have to get straight As and everything and yes I DO want to get straight As but my parents get disappointed when i get like a B on my test cuz everything has to be an A and Im find as long as my final grade is an A. This one girl (who Im slowly distancing myself from because shes not respect to me, etc) was like "OMG SARAH GOT A C ON A TEST?" I was like "Whatever, I still have an A"

But in my one class I got a B, so now I have to get another A to get an A for the last semester and my dad is really putting pressure on me and I DO want to get an A (I get upset if I dont) but this year has been really negative this year and I feel overwhelmed and everything. I just want to cry because my dad got sick, i really have no true friends or anything,and i feel lonely.

and i have talked to my mom about this and shes like "No we arent." Ack. what should i do?

well, pressure is hard on many people, so don't take it personally. talk to your dad, but that gets kinda scary, so just try your hardest and do your best. maybe see if you can get a reward for getting As or something. i'm a straight A student myself, and when i get and all A reportcard, my mom takes me shopping. see what you can do. by the way, what do you mean your dad got sick? :]

Q: what does the name lauren mean....or the word lauren in all different languages..
ex: in hawaian lauren the word/name means beautiful man?? any other meanings?

it means laurel.. which is an actress..... if you want to know, then go to dictionary.com or babynames.com
hope you have GOOD luck.

Q: I have this weird thing in my nose...its almost like a pimple but without a white head, darker, and more tender. Its like in my lower inner nostril..close to the cartilidge. This whole week the area has been hurting..it felt kindof like a bruise. Now its this weird pimple-ish thing and it still really hurts. What is it? How does it go away?

thta's simple, it's a blackhead type of pimple, no really, it's true! my friend gets those. the only way for it to go away is to let it go away on its own. don't pick at it (like you would) or anything, just let it be. it will go away in a few days. i know the yhurt, i've had them before. best wishes:]

Q: Ok well fat is fat but why do people count carbs and calories as fat too?

Because if calories, carbs and fat were fats in our body why don't they be called fat all together?

How many of each should you absorb a day? (not healthy but possibly what preps intake. Make sure when you tell me the amount of its how many you should take or how many preps take)

THANK YOU!

if i'm not mistaken, i think it's like 6,000 calories a day. carbs and calories r considered fat because they turn into fat. youshould only eat 6,000 calories a day.
