I don't judge. I've seen a lot, and the things I haven't, I'm always open to listening to. I want to make a difference. advice
Um when God died, came back..i dunno but there's three days to it, Does anyone know what month and the three days were? I really need it for an assignemnt and i don't know how to look it up.
Hey,
It's April. Because, Easter is the day of Jesus's ressurection.
XOXOKAT.
hey.
okay so i have just recently gotten side bangs and during the school day i notice that they start to get greasy and kind of separate. it is pretty gross. any way, are there any tips or products i can use to prevent this from happening? thanks in advance! =]
hey!
aw, this used to happen to me all the time, too.
what i did was
a)stop conditioning my scalp every single day. it will make your head oily. like, condition the lower part of your hair, but use it sparingly with bangs/scalp area, if at all.
b)don't touch your bangs, just flip your hair :P
hope this helps!

whats the worst time to flush a toilet when someone is taking a shower? in the middle or beginning? :(
hey,
i can't really tell whether this is a question of opinion, but it dosen't matter what time if you still want it to get really cold/hot. it works at any time.
personally, though, middle. because
a)the person's gotten used to the warm water, and then it changes.
b)there's probably shampoo in the person's hair if you time it right :P
ahaha hope this has helped
xoxokat!
i rate this website ok
hey,
are you actually asking where you get the horses? haha, i think you got confused on where to write the title, sweetie :P
but yea, just check in your phone book for local horse-seller peoples. either that, or riding services and farms. they'll have some great reccomendation!
hope this has helped, and good luck on writing these things out next time ;)

16.f. 146lbs. 5'4.25
okay.
so ever since 4th of july, i've been binging NON-STOP.
i only gained 5lbs, so i dont' know if thats a good thing or a bad thing.
anyways, i want to loose 10-15lbs. i have no specific weight-loss date. maybe before the year is over.
what should i do to stop myself from bing-eating. its not like its an eating problem. i can go a day without doing it. its just when i'm home alone i start to eat alot.
what kind of foods should i eat?
fruit, veggies, whole grains, dairy, lean meat?
i've been starting to drink 8 glasses of water per day as well.
thank you for the help.
hey,
okay, so i can be proud to say i'm over the whole binge eating stuff, too! :)
what i did, was definitely drink water for one thing.
chew each bite of every food you eat, thirty times each (at least), and take a drink of water between every bite. it sounds excessive, but it really worked for me; i dont pig out as much!
this will make you feel more full, and you wont feel like havign to chew this much all the time :P
also, it's escencially a thing of will power. really ask yourself, "do i need this?" and think about how it will be in the long run. it's like being timed for a mile; it totally sucks while running it, and you feel like giving in and stopping (or in this case, pigging out), but you're really proud and relieved in the end.
really, try to take this advice, it sounds dumb, but it will work wonders!!!

ok im not annorexic so dont get any ideas, im totally just curious. do you get used to the feeling of being hungry? do you always feel hungry .. or does it go away eventually? and do they not eat AT ALL, or do they just eat like a couple hundred calories a day .. again im only just curious.
hey
first of all, they are hungry ALL the time. sometimes they just drink tons of water, to make their stomach feel full, but the achey feeling stays. so yea, basically their stomachs tend to hurt alot, and they're always weak if it's a really bad case.
the hunger will not go away eventually. as your stomach shrinks, you will still crave food, only you wont be able to eat as much of it. this would be because your stomach is getting used to the smaller amounts of food. it will still feel hunger, though.
all anorexics are different. i've heard a story of a super model who flipped, because she 'binged' and ate 11 grapes. so pretty much they eat very little to nothing. then, if they do eat stuff, they end up working out.
it all depends on the person. but anorexia is just a bad idea in the first place. once the person starts eating again, they gain EVERY bit of weight back more quickly, because the body hasn't been used to food.
either that, or they get very very very sick. and fatalities are possible, too.
hope i've helped at all!

hi im sam. im 10 and i shaved my arms and i reallllly regret it. how can i make the hair grow back normal again? i picked a ranom category
hey!
well there's no way to let it grow in completlyyy normal, but with time.
i'm assuming you used a razor, so it probably left stubble. if you're allowed to, try to wax the arm hair. this will actually allow complete new hairs to grow, which will bring them back normal.
that, and use ALOT of lotion. that will make the stubble or whatever you don't like, seem less visable.
but hold it out for like, a week or maybe two. the hair should come back normal?
hope i've helped.

i heard that americans can shoot people if they are tresspassing on their property. if its true, i have a few questions:
1.can you shoot someone without warning?
2.what if you are renting the place? you just live there, and you dont own it. can you still shoot someone?
3.what if you are at your freinds house, and youre freinds not in? can you shoot the person trespassing?
thanks a lot. british fella.
hey,
no, i'm almost 100% sure this isn't true, even for americans. i think the only reason you'd be able to shoot someone is in like, self defense. and even then, you'd get in trouble, as far as i know.
hope this has helped.

i like junk food too much to lose weight for long =[ i always eat way too much in a day. but i want to lose weight so bad. especially from my face. TIPS PLEASE.
hey,
unfourtunately, what you eat is about 75% of a diet. the other 25% is exercise. that's why, if it were that simple, i would just say to exercise alot. but to do that, you'd have to exercise about 3x as much as you eat, and i'm sure you don't want to do that. haha.
i, being an old junk food addict, have found that it's easier than you think to stop eating all the junk food. you have to MAKE yourself stop and think "do i really need this?" don't give yourself excuses like, "oh, it's summer." or something, because you'll find yourself making tons of those. just don't let yourself eat junk food, regardless of the situations around you, and you'll find that it will become easier over time.
i know it's not the answer that you wanted, but believe me IT WILL HELP.
also, 'junk foods' aren't the only good snacks out there! graham crackers are yummy and very low in fat and calories. some other good options are (of course) fruits and veggies, salads (try to cut back on dressings, they're fattier than they seem..), cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, fruit snacks, fruit roll ups, and much more! see, it's not as hard as it seems!
also, try to exercise during the day, or when you get a food craving. maybe even exercise 15 minutes for every fatty food you eat. that will be an incentive for both ways; whether for exercise, or to let yourself have a snack once in a while.
you don't have to cut junk food out completly, but you shouldn't make it a habit to totally pig out, either.
i hope i've helped, and best of luck with everything!!

my step mom broke up and moved out of our house about 8 months ago. The split was really sad and rough for everyone in my family, but especially her. We didn't get along great when she lived with us, but now i try to see her every few weeks and we get along well. The thing is, she has lost A LOT of weight. She used to be average, but maybe a little chubby but she went on the south beach diet and stuff. I'm pretty skinny for someone my age (15) and she is skinnier than me! I'm really worried. When I'm around her she eats plenty, like icecream and fries and stuff, but why would she be so much skinnier than she was before the divorce? I don't see how she could be anorexic or anything, cuz she's like 50, but i don't know what to do. I feel really awkward talking to her about it, cuz i'm like the kid, it should be the other way around and it's not my responsibility to be the parent. But still, what should i do???
hey
don't immediately resort to thinking she's doing this on purpose or anything, she may be very depressed/stressed from the split, and massive stress can make you lose weight.
if you feel awkward about it, write her a note syaing you're worried, as much as you two didn't get along much before, and want to know if she's okay..
let me know how it works out! and i hope she's alright!!

do u gain weight when your on birth control? if so, how much?
hey,
it all depends on how your body reacts to this pill, but yes, in some cases you do.
once again, it's all on how you react to he medication, but you could gain from 1-10 lbs, if any at all.
hope i've helped!

Okay so my boyfriend says I love you. But we just started going out and I don't know if I love him too. But I don't want to be like I don't love you. But I don't want to keep lying to him. WHAT DO I DOOO!?!?!
13
hey,
wow, i've now learned that its not only in my case, that guys tend to say 'i love you' very quickly.
i honest to god don't know if it's because they develop feelings more quickly, or because they expect something from us, but i know this much:
don't say i love you, if you don't love him. and don't try to force it on yourself. this will end up distorting your view of the real thing, when the day comes where someone you really love, too, says it to yu, and you can say it back.
just, next time he says it, say "sorry i can't say it back.. i dont move as quickly, i guess." i mean, phrase it how you want it, but just apologize, and be truthful. then tell him that you still like him and all, but girls take a long time to be able to say that, because we get very committed. ask if he understands that it's not personal. he should understand completly.
if not, then he's probably trying to press things on you that you dont need to worry about at your age. if he seems to get bad about that, let him know your points, and why it's dumb for him to get mad.
if it hurts his feelings, tha's understandable, but once again, just explain why. it's an understandable, reasonable logic. :)
best of luck, and i hope i've been able to hlep out!

my boyfriend and i live in different states. we're both in college. we have eachothers myspace passwords, and a few months ago i logged into his myspace and there were all of these messages from this girl talking about these sexual things they did. he made up some reason for it n i eventually said ok i believe you(i never really believed him tho). he changed his password after that because he got mad that i read the message before he did. so he changes his password but i found out what it was and continued to log into his account without him knowing. i jus like to know hes faithful because im 100% faithful to him. he said they dont talk anymore. but the other day i logged in and there was a message from that girl! talking about how they went to the beach together! but he told me he went with his friends. my heart dropped. i have been so depressed ever since i read that. i cant tell him that i know about it because then he'll know i log into his account n know his password but i feel like hes cheating on me. we've been together for 3 years and we talk about living together and getting engaged..everything like that. im really scared i might lose everything, no matter what i do in this situation :[
what should i do?
hey,
first off, print out all of the messages you found. that way, he wont be able to deny it.
you cannot let him walk all over you like this. he's obviously trying to hide this girl from you, which means he's trying to hide other things (like what they do, or how close they are.) long distance relationships are very difficult.. and this is what makes them so hard.
you were a nice person to take his word, even when you knew he was lying the first time around, but if you keep doing that, he'll just know he can step all over you without you doing anything.
you need to talk to him, prefferably in person, but if no possible, over the phone, about this. tell him you have been hearing about him doing things, and if he denies it, tell him about the messages.
things in relationships should be in the open. i have to say, though, if he ends up doing something like this again, or lying about things he's doing, it dosen't sound like a healthy relationship, and you may want to consider the engagement for a while..
just make sure he's actually doing something. if he just went to the beach with this girl, that's not too bad, and you shouldn't have to worry.
so, get yourself some reassurance, and then do the confrontations.
best of luck, and i hope you're alright,and that everything works out!!!

I read an article in US Weekly about Hilary Duff's dieting techniques. A few years ago she did carry more weight as some of you might remember... but I never considered her "fat." But apparently others did and she did herself.
I weigh 130 pounds and am 5'1, while she was 130 pounds and 5'2 back then. It immediately made me sad... because lately I've been worrying if I am "fat" or "chubby." When I look in the mirror I see someone who certainly isn't rail thin, but not OBESE either. I honestly am not sure.
What are you guys' opinions? If you remember the "older" Hilary Duff during the Lizzie McGuire era, would you consider her fat? Please don't base your judgements on whether or not you are a fan of her, I just want to know what you think of her past appearance.

hey,
i never, ever considered her fat! and you shouldn't look at yourself like that, either. you are a healthy, normal weight, and should be happy at that spot.
the only reason she's dieting is as everyone else said, celebrities these days seem to be VERY concerned about their weight, and if they're not literally anorexicly thin, they'll be criticized and called fat.
do not ever base your own goals by a celebritie's body, it will not work, and is unrealistic. they can lose weight so easily because they have the money for personal trainers/procedures/ect.
you're perfect the way you are!

ok, you guys know how guys get "man-boobs when they get fat. anyways how can you get rid of them like what kind of workout can help get rid of them... thanx
hey,
if you're talking about the pecs area.. you will need to lose a little weight. also, do pushups every night! they're really wonderful for that area.
or, you could lay flat on your back, with your arms out like a t. hold a weight in each hand. then, bring the arms together infront of you. so basically, t, fold, t. and repeat.
mainly, lots of pushups will do the trick, but you WILL need to lose a little bit of weight to see good results..

what is beer pong?
hey,
it's basically a really simple drinking game teenagers end up playing alot of the time, at parties.
you take a table, and place a few paper cups at the end, lined up, or a few rows. then, you bounce a ball, or specifically ping pong ball, and have it land in a cup. then you drink that beer.
then, i guess the winner is decided by whoever drinks the most. i'm not sure if it's a consumption kind of thing, or the skill with the ball; i'm assuming it's both.. but yea. :P

If leaving a tampon in for too long can cause TSS, then why cant pulling one tampon out, and then imediately putting another one in not cause TSS? It's essentially the same thing, isnt it?
hey,
actually, it's not essentially the same thing. :P
this is because the only reason TSS is caused, is because of the blood being set, and bacteria forming. so, if you change the tampon every few hours, there's less of a chance for bacteria to form and make you sick!
XOXO
