alright, this doesn't happen EVERYTIME, but sometimes when i pee, i feel like i have to go again, so i do, but nothing comes out or needs to.
it's just a weird feeling cus i keep thinking i need to go, but i really don't.
so, is this a problem or just minor? (link)

It sounds like you could have a urinary tract infection. I would need more details, but it's a posibility. This can be treated easily, preferably by your doctor (with antibiotics), or you can go to the drug store and get over the counter medication for this to see if it helps (AZO Cranberry tablets, for example). The symptoms of a urinary tract infection include: a strong, persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation when urinating (doesn't have to happen all the time), passing frequent, small amounts of urine, blood in the urine or cloudy, strong-smelling urine. If you have any more questions, just sent me a message.

I'm 17 (female), My boyfriend is 18. The problem i'm having is things are starting to get boring and our love is falling apart. We don't fight, but it gets boring and I feel that our love is weakening. He's lived with me for the last 5 months because his mom had to move and...long story lol. But he'll be living with me here till I turn 18 then we're getting a place together. We have internet at the house again and ever since we got it back, he plays games, I get on myspace and yahoo and talk to people and that's how the day goes, then we go up to my room and go to sleep. I don't know if it's that we need time apart, or time together. We still laugh and have fun when we're together, but we barely go places together, when he wants to walk, i'm tired of sick and when i wanna walk, he's tired or sick. What can we do to make things right again? (link)

Do you spend time away from one another? It sounds like you don't have anything to talk about because you spend all your time together, or in the same house. Try going out with your friends every once in a while and doing things with your boyfriend that requires you to leave the house. You could have a date night every week where the both of you spend quality time together. I think you guys just need something else going on in your lives so you have something to talk about and share with one another. I hope this helps.

my boyfriend and i want to get a pet duck and ive tried like looking for breeders on the internet and i cant find anything. help please on where we could get one? we live in omaha, nebraska =] (link)
| |
My boyfriend and I had a pet duck. We found them at our local flea market. At first we only wanted one, but we didn't want to separate them, so we ended up getting three! They are so cute, but are VERY messy and hard to clean up after. Make sure you have plenty of room outdoors to keep it. We started out with a smaller cage, but they grew to full size within 5 months, and we ended up having to buy a large pin to keep them in. Once they learned to fly we decided to let them go. They will stay close by as long as you keep feeding them. We were lucky and had a pond in our back yard, so they had water close by. Getting a duck in the summer time is a good idea. We got ours when it was cold outside, so we had to keep them inside until they were old enough to adjust to the cold temperature. Make sure if you keep them inside that you put towels down under the cage and if you place them in front of a wall, make sure you cover the wall with news paper first because they are hard to clean up after. I recommend looking around first to see where you can purchase duck food because you have to get it from a special place. Make sure you start them out with the starter duck feed (made for young ducks). When they get older you can also feed them cracked corn. Also, they need a special duck feeder for their water so they never run out. I will include a link that has a little more info if you're curious. Let me know if you have anymore questions! Good luck!

I have a Razr v3 and T-Mobile. This morning, it accidentally ran through the wash and it doesn't work anymore. The little circle that shows if it has water damage is red. Will T-Mobile let me get it replaced for a new Razr v3? (link)
| |
I did the exact same thing to my phone a couple of days ago. I thought the water messed it up (because it wouldn't turn on), but my friend has the same phone, and I took their battery and sim card to see if the actual phone still worked, and it did. It may just be the sim card or the battery that is messed up. I'm guessing that since you said that the circle was red that means your sim card is messed up? I know that if you have water damage to your phone and you want to switch it out for a new one that they will charge you full price for the new phone, or give you one at a discounted price only if you sign a new contract. Your best bet may be to get a new sim card (assuming that yours is messed up) and see if your current phone will work with that. If not, try e-bay or a flea market. They may have the exact same phone at a cheaper price. Just make sure it's unlocked before you buy it. I hope this helps and good luck!

HI.
i really need ur help. im having a baby shower for my sister. what kind of games can i do. and also what gifts. I have no idea and its coming up. please help.
thak you (link)
| |
Hi! My cousin just recently had a baby shower and when the invitations went out there was a note inside for everyone to bring a pack of diapers for a diaper raffle. The people that brought diapers wrote their name on a little card folded it up and placed it inside a hat. Later a name was drawn and that person got a prize. It's a great way to get a collection of diapers for your sister. Another game that we did was each person took a large piece of string and thought about how big around the mother was and tore it off at that point. Then we compared the string and the one that was the closest to how big around she was got a prize. We also did some crossword puzzles and a "unscramble the words". It was timed, and the person who got the most correct got a prize. I've been to other baby showers before and I remember playing a game where you blindfold them and let them try some baby food and they have to guess what kind it is. You also said what gifts... I assume to give to the winner of the games and not your sister? You could give them lotions or shower gels from Bath and Body Works (like maybe the travel size and not the full size). I've included some links with some games and other questions you may have. I hope this helps. Message me if you have anymore questions.

Try eating healthier. Don't stop eating less, just cut down on anything that is unhealthy. In order to lose weight, you should eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a few small snacks (about a handful ) in between. Try eating lots of fruits and veggie's. For breakfast, you could eat a healthy cereal (like special K or cheerios) with non-fat milk, then for a snack you could have something like a small bowl of grapes. Don't drink any soda, just non-fat milk and plenty of water. Don't eat anything fried. You said that you wanted to eat very little, but not nothing... why don't you try eating strawberries, grapes, oranges, apples, or bananas for one or two snacks, and something like broccoli, celery, salad with non-fat dressing, carrots, etc. Don't starve yourself. Also, make sure you exercise. Make a routine of walking everyday. Do crunches, and sit-ups, and if you can, go swimming and do laps around the pool. If you keep doing these things, and don't give up, I'm sure you'll reach your goal. Make a plan for yourself, and stick to it. Set up a monthly goal (write down what exercises you're going to do each day and set up meals and snacks you could eat). Post it in your room as a reminder. I hope this helps and good luck!

okay, so heres the deal. i always know when im about to get a sore throat, i feel my throat acting weird a few days before, and i get chapped lips. well i got that sign yesterday and its a little worse today, but im not totally sick yet. i have something important to do saturday, so i need something to stall my sore throat until late saturday or something. ive been drinking alot of orange and grapefruit juice for the vitamin C and ive been using chap stick for my lips and everything. i need something to stall/eliminate this cold or whatever it is, so please, if you know anything that will help let me know asap. home remedies are great also! early answers are appreciated
THANK YOU! (link)

When I get sick I take vitamin C in pill form (up to 1000 mg a day) and take airborne. Airborne (if you havent seen the commercials) has vitamins and herbs that help fight off colds, and you can take both even after you've gotten sick and it will help you get over it faster. You can buy both at your local drug store or grocery store. I hope this helps! Feel better!

Alright this is kind of a weird question butttt is it a serious problem that whenever I pee it's been burning? This has been going on for about a week now. I'm on birth control and have sex if that helps? Right now it hurts a little and feels like I really need to pee when I definitely know I don't need to. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Should I go see a doctor? helppp =[

It sounds like you have a urinary tract infection. It's nothing to panic about, but you should see a doctor so they can properly diagnose it. You can try drinking cranberry juice or taking something called Uristat that you can get at walmart (it's made by monistat). Some things that can cause or irritate urinary tract infections are having sex (because it allows bacteria to get inside you) and taking bathes. I would make an appointment with your gynecologist so they can clear it up and make sure it's not something more serious. Here's a link for you to check out, and if you have any more questions just ask! I hope you feel better.

Alright so, my boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and we've started having sex. We usually use condoms, but I was wondering.. how effective is the "pull-out method" i know a lot of people think it should be shunned but, i know a lot of people who have done it a lot and have had nothing happen. What do you guys think? (link)
| |
Please keep using condoms. I've had so many friends get pregnant that way. They try it for a little while, and nothing happens, then they get pregnant. If you're not ready to have a baby and go through all the heart aches then keep using protection. Try using birth control pills if you want to have sex without a condom. Please don't "usually" use condoms. Have you thought about what you would do if something happened and you DID get pregnant? And if you decided not to keep the baby... there is just so much to think about and it's really not worth it unless you're ready for a child. I hope this helps.

ok. my mom made me go to see a therapist when i was about 9 or 10, and he diagnosed me with depression. ever since them i have been going to a counseler every other week. ive been on an anti-depressant for maybe 4 years now, and nothing has changed. im always depressed and i feel hopeless. i really just want to die so i dont have to deal with all this crap, but i would NEVEREVER kill myself. i just wouldnt be able to do it. i just cant handle the pain and sadness anymore. please help me! i know there is nothing that will fix this, but i need suggestions. i really want to stop hating my life!! (link)
| |
Have you talked to your therapist about this? So many people have depression. In some cases depression is caused by a chemical inbalance in the brain. Neurotransmitters in the brain called serotonin and norepinephrine may become imbalanced and medication can be given to increase the levels of the chemicals in the brain. Maybe the medication you are taking just isnt' the right one for you, or your dose isn't adjusted properly. Certain medications increase the amount of serotonin OR norepinephrine, not both. Tell your therapist and he can fix this. You shouldn't have to suffer. 9 or 10 is a pretty young age to be diagnosed with depression. Did something happen when you were younger? Most teenagers go through depression and eventually it gets less and less. Hormones have a big part in it too. What are some of the things making you sad? Is there any particular thing that makes you hate life? Also, is your therapist good? If he's not helping, maybe you should try a different therapist. Certain things also can make you happy. Chocolate has certain chemicals in it that actually stimulate the brain. Try to smile. Smiling trigers the brain and it helps a lot. Find something that makes you happy and focus on that. Whats your home situation like? Is it a good environment for you? I'd like to help you if I can. I've been through the same thing you're going through now, and I'm 21 now. My life is completely different and I love life. Just take it day by day and learn to appreciate everything. Don't ever take anything for granted. I hope this helps.

I really like fruits. I make LIME-enade (like lemonade but with lime)every day and drink it.
For the first time this month my dad noticed and yelled at me because he said drinking one glass using a whole lime a day is bad and that it's just like drinking vinegar, it'll like shrink your organisms and then you'll have trouble eating and digesting food, something like that.
I thought it was good for you though because of the "you should have atleast 3-4 servings of fruit a day".
Sometimes my friends have those drinking contests and who and drinks the most wins. I like to make it healthy by making them drink PURE LIME juice without any sugar or water at all.
But after what my dad told me, I'm not sure no more: is it good for you or bad? By the way, this is what and how much I use for my one glass of LIMEenade a day: One whole lime, SQUEEZED, water filled to the top, and sugar. (link)
| |
Limes can be both good and bad for you. It's not good to drink or eat limes/lime juice in excess (as with any food). Also, the sugar isn't good for you either. I don't think it is good to drink limenade everyday, although limes are very good for you. Here's a website you can go to that will tell you the benefits etc. of consuming limes. Pay special attention to the "precautions" at the end. I hope this helps.

so i downloaded a song by them it was supposedly called, 'my blue heaven'
but when I found it on iTunes, it was completely different!
it's really acousticish and
the lyrics go something like this:
"well show me show me show me how you do that trick. the one that makes me scream, she said
the one that makes me laugh
she said and threw her arms around my neck.
and
"I promise that I'll run away with you.."
i really like this song, but what's it called and is it really by taking back sunday lol?
(link)
| |
I think the song you're looking for is called "Just Like Heaven" and Taking Back Sunday did a remake of it. It was originally done by The Cure. I hope this helps.

for spanish class i have to do a project related to the day of the dead...
and i have no clue what to make! any ideas??? basically anything related to skeletons and stuff like that works too...
thanks SO much for any ideas! (link)
| |
You can definately make a fake alter. Here's a website to give you a little more of an idea of what to include. You could also make a spanish dish and serve it to the class (pan de muerto). The second website includes some crafts you could make, under the crafts section, (like the sugar skull). I hope this helps and good luck on your project!

i have a news-type article due tomorrow for my jornalism class and i have to do it about a fairy tale (i know its kinda wierd right?) anyways i cant think of a way to write the article. i mean i can write it but how do i start it out? how can i make it sound like a real news article? (link)
| |
You could write it about Snow White, and just be like "Today, snow white was found poisoned to death. There is no evidence of who did it, but evidence shows that the apple she was eating was poisoned", or you could try "Live from channel 4, breaking news has just taken place outside fairytown land (or where ever she's from). Snow White was found poisoned to death and there is one suspect at this time." (then describe the witch) and you could add "if anyone has seen the suspect, we urge you to call 1-800-crime stoppers." ha ha Try something like that. I hope this helps.

My husband and I seem to only ever have sex. I know that it's supposed to express love, but neither of us waited to marriage...we both slept around a lot. I do love him, and he promises he loves me, and not just my body. But it seems like, unless we're making love, we're not getting along. Is it possible to love someone with liking them? Seriously... I love him, but I don't like him because he's rude to me and not really abusive, but almost. So... what now? (link)
| |
I disagree with the other answer. I think it's very possible to love someone without liking them. Do you feel like you love him, but you're not in love with him? Honestly, why are you staying with him if all you ever do is have sex and he's rude to you all the time? It doesn't sound like you're very happy. I would suggest some couples counseling. Just sit down with him and talk about the reasons you don't get along, and tell him that it hurts you when he's rude to you etc. Tell him that it bothers you that all you ever do is have sex. Maybe you guys could make a date night a couple night a week and just spend one-on-one time together. Really focus on one another and get to know each other all over again. There had to be a point where both of you were happy together, try to reconnect and find that happiness again. I wish you the best of luck, and message me if you have anymore questions.

i was supposed to hang out with a friend tonight. like he was supposed to call me or just come on over. but he did neither. so i tried to call him later. but he didn't pick up. pretty much, he ditched me. what should i do? (link)
| |
First of all, find out what happened before you jump to conclusions. He could've gotten in a car accident or something like that, or maybe he just fell asleep. After he explains to you what happened (and if he doesn't have a good excuse for why he ditched you) then explain to him that you waited on him to call or come over and that next time (if there is a next time) that you would like him to call if he's not going to come. If he has no excuse for ditching you, then I'd suggest finding someone else to hang out with until he changes his ways. I hope this helps.

haha well what i think i shud do and what i want to do are totally different! i think i shud tell them the truth. but i dont want to. i dont really kno how they would react. ive never done anything this drastic before.i dont kno how any parent would react to this. i think if it was me i would be pretty pissed. i dont kno if i shud avoid telling them the truth and clearing his name just to avoid being grounded for a long time ya kno (link)
| |
Well, I'd go with what I thought was right, even though you don't want to. Since you know it's right to tell them the truth, then maybe you should have a talk with your brother first, because he is involved in this. See how he feels, then if he's ok with it, tell them the truth. They may not trust you for a little while, but explain to them that you lied to them because you didn't know what else to do, and now, after the fact, you realize that was a dumb decision and you want to tell them the truth, and that should make them trust you more because you had a chance to get away with it, but instead you chose to come clean. Let them know that you've learned your lesson, and that you're willing to take your punishment from them. Maybe you could suggest a driving class as your punishment lol. Your brother would know how they would react, which is probably the reason he took the blame for you. They may treat you differently, since you are a girl. I'm not sure if they'd be harder on you or not. Since this is bothering you, just come clean. That way you won't have to worry about this. You can worry about chores instead. :o)
|
|
no he doesnt live here hes in college now. he says he thinks its best they think it is him because they would freak out if it was me just because i am the youngest ( of 5) and the only girl. they r sort of protective and strict so if they found out the truth it wouldnt be good especially since i lied about it for this long, they would definelty be more upset if it was me. i feel absolutly horrible about him getting in trouble for it and taking the blame but at this point i dont kno which would be better i dont kno if they would be more mad if they found out now or later (link)
| |
I'm not sure, you know your parents better. I'm guessing you're 16, since you said you just started driving. Maybe you could keep it a secret for another two years.... I understand why you feel bad that they're mad at him, but it was his idea to take the blame. Since you already told him that he was driving, I guess just stick with your story. If you feel the need to confess to them, I'm sure you'd feel a lot better at first, but later on when you want to drive etc, you won't be able to because you lied to them. Talk to your brother about how you feel and see what he thinks. Since you have to live with them, it may be better to let them think it was him driving. I could pose an arguement for why you should and why you shouldn't tell your parents, but in the end, you're going to have to live with it. Are you going to feel bad about lying to them and letting your brother take the blame? If it bothers you that much, then maybe you should tell them. At this point, what do you think you should do and what do you want to do?
|
|
we decided to split the cost. i dont kno what i would be more scared of my parents or teh police! i dont think his friend would tell... hes not really like that. but they were pretty mad at him they cant rele like ground him or anything since he doesnt live here but they were pretty pissed esspecially since it was my car. it was about a month ago... (link)
| |
How much was the cost? Depending on how much it was, I think you should try to cover most of it, especially if he ends up taking the blame for you. Would they be more upset if you wrecked the car instead of him? If you let your brother take the blame, at least you'll get to drive again, but maybe you should be more careful in the future (maybe take a driving class lol). However, it could work out for the best if you go ahead and confess to everything. It's really up to you. Which do you hate more, telling your parents, or letting your brother take the blame for you? Maybe he knows what he's doing by taking the blame, or maybe he's just looking out for you, but really in the long run, it's up to you what you do. Just think long and hard about it. Does your brother live with you?
