Q: I mean is it all like "unholy"? I know that black magic is like witchcraft but whats white magic? Will it get you sent to hell? I have been thinking about this since I read "Jays Journal". Also are spells considered witchcraft?
I\'ve been going to church my whole life and all magic is considered unholy. Practicing witchcraft is a considered a sin. Yes, spells are witchcraft.

Q: So, I am about to have a baby and someone mentioned that there are a bunch of places that will send you baby stuff in your mailbox if you just ask for it? How do you do this? Is there a list of companies that do this, or do you just have to write everyone and hope they send you something? LOL!
The best way is to contact the companies and let them know how much you like their products. Most of the time they will send coupons and samples.

Q: So my boyfriend & I recently discovered we both had chlyamdia. I got it cured. But my boyfriend on the other hand, hasn't yet. He went but they sent him somewhere else, anyways we were messing around we been using condoms since we found out but I was messing around & I was teasing him & didn't think anything of it but I just licked the top of his dick (the head) & just remembered you can get chlymadia through oral. I didn't think about it, but it was literally just a lick. Not a suck or anything. One lick! Lol he didn't cum or anything. Is there a chance I have a chlymadia? Please answer asap!
I'm no expert, but I did a little research. According to my research, the chances are less than 10% through full on oral. So for just a lick, your chances are pretty much non-existent. Especially, since you already have the treatment meds in your system.

Q: Hi, I am 17 F and last year I had a massive fall out with the girl I had been best friends with for 10 years. I was properly horrid to her and she was horrid to me as well. The argument went on for months and she started to turn the whole school against me until I had no friends. Over the summer vacation we all got over it and came back to school better but we never really talked again. Any way I started to notice that she was getting thinner and thinner and suddenly she wasn't in school any more. I asked the teachers where she had gone and it turns out she had been batteling with anorexia nuvosa. It started to get really bad and she went downhill majorly. She is now in hospital and has been given 3 months to live because she is so thin. I feel terrible because I didn't support her when she clearly needed help instead I was angry with her. It's my fault she is going to die because I ignored her and was mean and I don't know what to do. I am not allowed to go see her because she has been sectioned. Please help
Let's be clear about one thing- This is absolutely NOT your fault. I am absolutely sure that she would tell you that herself if she could. She would not want you to be burdened with this guilt over something that even she could not control. Write her a letter to let her know how much you valued her friendship and let her know that you are thinking of her. Send her things to remind her of the good times you've had together. Little things like this will mean a lot to her, just knowing that someone is thinking of her.

Q: hello! sometimes i hear people talk about having a bachelors degree and i know it has something to do with school but i thought a bachelor was a guy who doesnt get a wife? can someone explain since the google just made me more confused than before. :(
I did a bit of research and it seems the exact origin is unclear. The best answer I found is this: The word bachelor is derived from baccalaureate. The term baccalaureate originated from the 17th century Latin word baccalaureus, meaning "student with the first degree. I hope this helps.

Q: Does anyone know how to make smothered pork chops so they turn out nice and moist like they do in a restaurant? I don't know what I am doing wrong but mine are always dry! Help! Before my hubby gives up on me! :)
My smothered pork chops always get rave reviews. The trick to juicy pork chops is- Don't trim the fat.and don't cook it on high heat. My recipe is for South Louisiana style smothered pork chops. Smothered pork chops may differ from region to region.

Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Set side. Chop a large onion and saute it in a couple tablespoons of olive oil until caramel colored. Sss chops to the pan and brown on both sides. Add equal parts chicken broth and beef broth, just enough to cover the chops. Cover and cook on medium until really tender. More broth can be added as needed. Uncover for the last 5-10 minutes to allow excess moisture to cook out. The end result should be succulent pork chops smothered in onions.

Q: i feel like i cant poop why ?????
Sometimes certain foods can cause constipation or lack of high fiber foods. It's also a side effect of some medications. Not drinking enough water over an extended period of time can cause it as well.

Q: My boyfriend has a friend that is gay, and they hangout ALL THE TIME. Last time they hung out alone his gay friend took advantage of him being drunk and they pretty much had sex. Well, my boyfriend is STILL friends with this boy. Is he bi, and just not telling me?
There's a good chance that he's at least bi-curious. If his so-called friend really took advantage of him, I don't believe he'd maintain their friendship. It's more likely that the alcohol lowered his inhibitions enough to allowed himself to be seduced into trying something he was curious about. As for him not telling you the truth, he's probably having a hard time admitting it to himself.

You have to decide whether or not you are willing to stay with him while he figures it out.

Q: I wanna cut my wrists,and all because my boyfriend doesn't love me anymore,I need help because I know it doesn't make any sense.
Suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem. I know it doesn't feel like it now, but he is so not worth it. You need to move on and live your life to be the most awesome person you can be. Some day you can look back and say, his loss.

Q: So me and my boyfriend were on our scool email chat and he tells me that he is going to see his ex-gf from like 3 years ago, this weekend. I am super paranoid and jealous. His mom hates me and suggested that he go to the thing that she will be at, and said "Katlyn will be there". I trust my boyfriend but I don't know this girl and I'm worried. Also she will be going to the same church camp as him and I am even more worried. Am I being overly jealous or paranoid? Or is this a normal reaction? Thanks
I wouldn't consider it overly paranoid. Your feelings are perfectly normal, but if your boyfriend is truly trustworthy, you don't have anything to worry about. On the other hand, if you can't trust him, then he really isn't the kind of person you should be with.

Q: sometimes i love the way i look and sometimes i feel disgusting. whats wrong with me?
You're a normal teenager

Q: Just a minute ago I was recording some stuff on my phone. It's 10 at night and I was in bed, lights off. I listened to the first couple then I made a new one but I listened to it and the voice was very deep and it sounded like when people try to hide their voices it was really creepy and I get scared very easily. I can't turn on my light because my mom might see it so I'm freaking out pretty badly and I didn't listen to the whole thing cause it was too scary. Was happened? I was talking normally and it worked the records before that one. The only backround noise was the radio but it didn't effect the other recordings at all. Please help, thanks! :)
Sometimes when the batteries are getting weak out can cause out to drag, making voices sound deeper. If it's a cassette recording, the cassette may be old or defective.

Q:
Like homes that have ppl check up on elderly people. Cause my great grandmother fractured her neck and fell on her face today. This is not the first time she has fell. She broke her hip before. And she lives in a different town from most of her relatives. We live 30-45 minutes away from her city and she lives by herself. I think nurisng homes are bad and I've seen some people in there. My great grandma is 95 yrs old and she has problems with remembering things too. Is there homes that can have people check up on her?
In-home caregivers may be a better option. Given your grandmother's advanced age, she'd probably qualify for 24 hour care. Many people find this preferable to nursing homes or other assisted living facilities because your loved one gets to stay in their own home and they can control who cares for them. If they don't like one caregiver, they simply request a new one from the agency.

Q: Im 18 male and i crosdress in the most girly things my sister has . Of coarse i do it when she is out with her freinds. I wear her panties bras and dresses . I usally end up masturbating and eating my own spearm does this make me gay .. i dont like guys i like girls but i also enjoy wearing thier clothes
I know that this must be very confusing for you. Dressing in female clothing doesn't make you gay. It sounds like more of a fetish, which is perfectly normal. If you're lucky you might be able to find a girl who either shares your fetish or is willing to accept yours. The two of you could use your fetish to spice up your sex life.

Q: okay i had sex for the first time with my ex boyfriend while he had another girlfriend...i loved him and probably still do but it won't work out...the last time i talked to him he told me he wanted to be with me and so i met him that night and of course we had sex but it's been 3 weeks and i haven't talked to him...How stupid was i for giving in so easily?
He was just using you and he got exactly what he wanted. You made a mistake and it would be stupid if you let it happen again. If he really wants to be with you, make him end it with the other girl first. Don't disgrace yourself by being the other woman. You deserve better than that.

Q: My husband migrated to Toronto Canada 6 years ago. He abandoned me and found a new love. I found out that he already has a daughter with the girl who is living in Manila Philippines, where I am. He cancelled my immigrant sponsorship 2 years ago, took my money, and sponsored the girl as a common law wife to migrate to Canada to stay with him. How can I ask him to divorce/annul our marriage if he is avoiding me?
Depending on where you live, there's probably an abandonment clause. Just file for divorce on the grounds of abandonment and the divorce will be granted and he doesn't have to sign anything.

Q: okay well me and this guy had been going out for 8 months. Between these 8 months we broke up 3 times.
One night me and him were hanging out at a baseball game and i was pmsing so i was really moody. i had heard rumors about him and a girl but he denied everything. while we were at the game she called him they talked for a while and then got off. after the game was over he left and my cousin ((his best friend)) the one playing in the game told me he((my then boyfriend)) was going out with the girl who called him and that a week before they all went to the movies together and that my ((then)) boyfriend made out with her. i was really mad i tried calling him and getting ahold of him for like almost a month he never called. finally he sent something saying he was trying to make this girl stop liking him so the girl he was supposivley with told she'd fake go out with him. soon they're were pictures of the two of them on her web page and remarks like " me and my wonderful boyfirend' what really gets me is that just a few days before we stopped talking he told me that he never wanted to loose me again. he denies him and her going out still. but they go to the movies and leave each other messages like i miss you terribly and me and you are hanging out friday. idk what to do i still have feelings for him and we have been through soo much! why would he do this?? what should i do should i talk to him or leave him alone till he says something to me?? is he a cheater?? HELLPPP! tell me everything you think. this whole thing drives me crazy. thanks

This guy sounds like he wants to have his cake and eat it too. He's stringing you both along. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't be messing around with some other girl. I think you already know deep down in your heart what you need to do. Unless you want to share your boyfriend, you need to dump this jerk. If you two are really meant to be together, he will come to his senses, drop this girl, and come crawling back. Make him prove himself to you before you take him back.

Q: but it is wierd because i get cramps alot.and i have "the features" but i feel like i will be the only one without my period in high school next year!but i am going to play like 6 sports on high scool and if i dont get it by then will it be because of the sports?

Some girls don't get it until they are 18 years old. But my guess is if you are having cramps and other signs, you'll be getting it very soon, probably before school starts. Don't worry about sports affecting it. Exercise is actually good. Girls who stay active usually have less cramps.

Q: ok i've heard some stories about girls having sex for the first time....and then it not being possible becuase it hurts to bad cuz the guy is...too big i guess?

does this happen and is it something that i should worry about?

cuz im a virgin and i just want to be prepared i guess.


thaaankks.
It really depends on your body. Some people churt alot and some don't hurt at all.

Q: This is strictly for the women on advicenators to answer. i am a male (21 years old) and I know it is typical of a guy to ask the question i have (in the title), and even more typical to be worried about it. i am not huge, nor am i claiming to be asking for a friend. i am average, maybe more, but i am thick. to make up for the lack of size, i give amazing oral until whomever i'm with reaches orgasm. my question is this; would a girl prefer a guy who is average but can really 'eat', or a guy who is well above average and only 'eats' about average? ( for those women who don't know, average length for a man is from 6-7" )
It really depends on the woman. Some women aren't in to oral, though I can imagine why. I think technique matters more than size. I mean it's no good no matter how big it is if the guy doesn't know what to do with it. It sounds to me that you know what you're good at, so stick with that. I doubt that you'll get any complaints, if you're as good as you claim to be.
