ok there are all kinds of good diets and stuff but..the problem is that alot of the foods that they include are things i dont like!!
like salads when i have a salad it ends up being a soup because of ranch (im not a big fan of salads) && i dont like a lot of vegez!! does any one know i good diet that doesnt include a lot of saladz and a bunch of vegies??
(link)
someone else gave this advice-but it's good, i've tried it. do the special K diet. two bowls a day, and then one regular meal. I tried it once, but it didn't work too well for me cuz i don't like cereal, lol. but i know people it has worked for.
but on a sidenote-even if you don't like vegetables, you really need the vitamins and nutrients in them, it's not just about weight and how you look, vegetables help fight against disease and make you healthy, without them you won't live as long. So i suggest just going to the supermarket and trying as many vegetables as possible! just a bite, don't force yourself to eat something gross, but try to find something you can eat. Maybe spaghetti squash? if you put tomato sauce on it, it really tastes like pasta! also try tomatoes and green beans, and keep eating lots of fruit.

~ also: drink LOTS of water, and take multi-vitamins


happy new year first of all
this question is for the mac users. how do u resize ur pictures?
thanks
=) (link)
if you just want to make your pics take up less room on your computer, click email in iPhoto, choose your size, "Mail" will open, and drag the picture onto your desktop, that's what i do, but if you literally want to make them a different size, i guess just use photobucket and stuff.


does anybody know why adam brody and rachel bilson broke up?? (link)
I don't think it was a messy mean breakup or anything. They were together for two years and just sort of grew apart, which is sad. I think rachel is dating someone from n'sync, JC chasez or something. I hope they stay together on the OC though! they are an awesome cute couple though, so it's pretty sad.
I even named my puppies after them! Brody and Bilson (billie) lol, i'm serious, but yeah i hope that answered it, you can go on gossip websites and google and stuff for more


i just bought a usb cord that has two sides with like a usb so i can connect it to my laptop and to my dad's computer so i can transfer my files to my dad's computer.. and i plugged both sides in and nothing happened.. i wanted to put my music on my dads computer but nothing would happen.. what do i do? (link)
I've tried that before, moving my moms pics and music to mine, and i tried a usb, but i couldn't get it to work either! keep asking, maybe go to a best buy or radio shack and ask someone, but no matter what i tried, it wouldn't work. In the end what i did, and what i suggest for you is to either buy a flash drive(yes it's small so you have to do many transfers) or an external harddrive, those are more expensive but they are easy to use and are also great for backing up your computer, goodluck


my mom and dad just died. i bearly had the strength to write this, but i am sooo sad, what should i do? I feel like i should be dead to. please, help. (link)
I agree, you need to take the time to mourn them, there is no easy fix, no solution to bring them back and you need to accept that.
But when you consider suicide, think about this. Your parents were very important people in your life, they made you who you are so that you could grow up and be a successful, happy person. I believe that everything happens for a reason, ofcourse it's terrible that they died, but there is a reason why you are still alive. Your parents would never want you to kill yourself over them, they want you to move on with your life, remember them, but move on. You'll always be sad, and right now, don't try to fight tears, just let it all out.
I am not religious, but i do believe that there is a reason everyone is put on this earth, there is something that you can contribute before you die, some people live long lives, some live short, but that is not what matters, what matters is what they accomplished, and I know, even without knowing you that you are nowhere near ready to die.
Seek people around you who can help, who you can talk to. Don't push people away, they only want to help you.
Goodluck and be strong


Can someone explain the manual mode for an ipod? i just got one today for xmas. My cousin told me that if i put it on manual mode then i can delete all the songs out of my library and wen i hook my ipod back to the computer it wont delete them is that true? (link)
no, not really. you can either set it to manual or automatic. on manual, you plug in the ipod and then drag songs from itunes onto it. that way you don't have to put all your songs on it, and you can also plug it into different computers and get new music (however if you do thi, click NO when it says auto change, whatever to that other computer)
if you put it on automatic, then everything on your itunes library will go to the ipod, and if you import more songs, they will automatically go to the ipod every time you plug it in. but on automatic you can't connect it to more than one computer.
all of these settings are in preferences in itunes


Hey, I am really bored half of my friends left the city and some just went somewhere with family. Some of my friends are busy with other people i don't know. & I also don't like asking my parents for a ride to go somewhere. I dont celebrate Christmas, but i am really bored. & i have this thing, when im bored I CRY because NOTHING to do home at all. Do you guys have any advice what I can do to keep myself busy & NOT cry? I usually go on msn, facebook & myspace, but i want to do something better. Also i usually clean my room, talk a bit on the phone, watch t/v , eatt but i still end up CryyInn.

Any good new sites or any advice please help, Also if you are not going away ober the holiday please share what you guys do & if you have facebook id like to add you if u dont mind =] THanks for taking your time to read this . (link)
get off the computer, seriously you're wasting your life away. go for a run, if it's too cold then go to the gym, you'll meet friends there. pick up a hobby, an instrument, a sport, anything, and you'll feel happier, myspace and facebook and msn isn't life, it's just the internet and you should put a limit on how much you use it.
goodluck

please look at her eyes .
do you know what i can do to have small eyes like dat? like really small cute eyes like all you can see is black lol thanx (link)
her makeup just looks like that because she's got tons of eyeliner on, you can try that, just rimming your upper and lower lids with black liner all the way, btu also keep in mind-she has a professional makeup artist, so when you do it, it might not turn out as well and could end up looking more slutty or punky
but try it out and just play with your makeup to achieve a good look


Well yea here is my problem, i have a boyfriend lets just call him henry, and we have been going out for almost 2 years and he is ready to settle down with me and have a family but and we have been promised to each other for a long time and he is ready to settle down but i am only 16 years old so wat do i do ? (link)
no matter how much you love this guy, i don't suggest settling down and starting a family yet. you're too young to map out your whole life yet, you need to meet more people, experience more life, a sixteen year old-no matter how mature you are-is not mature enough to start a family. you may not like this advice, but I really suggest taking your time, finish high school, think about college, and meet other people. You may love this guy but that doesn't mean that there isn't someone out there who is perfect for you. I just think you need to slow down and don't jump into this or you will most definitely regret it.


So, for Christmas I had every intention of buying my boyfriend of five months an iPOD shuffle. [The new one, the one with the clip.] I pawned my alto saxophone, and got $150 for it. I gave my parents half of the money that I had gotten. So I had $75 left, and had an extra $35 to spend. I bought the shuffle for $80 and I had $30 left over. So, I wanted to get him the FEAR computer game. Which is $30. I have enough money for it, but my sister & mom are getting mad because they don't think I should be spending that much money on him.

He bought me a $70 pearl necklace and is buying me more, we made our price range $110. Everytime I ask them to take me to the store to buy it, we'll get into a huge argument about spending too much money, but I want to buy it for him. What can I say to defend myself?

Thanks mucho.

(link)
I somewhat agree that thats a lot to be spending on him, but if you really like this guy and think it's serious, then just explain to your family that it's a sacrifice you are willing to make and that this relationship is really important to you. try to make them understand that it is your money and you are in a mature relationship now. goodluck


Well since Christmas is coming up soon, and new years too. I want to throw a party. I’ve got everything planned… but I have 1 little problem-

You see, I met these 2 girls last year. Amy and Laura. Well, I did something really stupid.
I like both of these girls as friends, but then this year, we separated into different school classes. Amy and I have classes together, but then Laura doesn’t see us at all in school.

Well, there are some things that Laura has done, that Amy didn’t like. So pretty much, Amy hates Laura, but Laura still likes Amy.
Now here comes my stupid thing- I told Amy that I didn’t like Laura either! I don’t know why I told her that.

But whenever I do see Laura in school, she thinks I like her, and I do! So we talk to each other, but then whenever Amy comes, I have to lie and tell her that I don’t like Laura.

Well, My problem is… I don’t know what to do about the party. Should I invite both girls?? If I invite Laura, Amy will get mad and will hate me because I lied to her. But if I don’t invite Laura, she’ll find out about the party, and will hate me because I didn’t invite her. I’m really stuck in the middle!!!!!!

I don’t know if I should tell Amy that I’m friends with Laura, but then risk my friendship with Amy. Or just keep lying to Amy?

HELP!

Signed, confused!
(link)
talk to amy, tell her that your really sorry, you only lied because you didn't want to risk losing amy as a friend-this way she'll feel flattered. then say that you are inviting both, and that you'll spend as much time with her as you can and make enough space so that they don't have to hang out together


ok i need quick finger desserts for around 30 teenagers by tommorow night and i dont know what to do. help please (link)

im a small girl like physically....as in short
im 19 years old and me and my boyfriend want to have sex but the thing is we tried to before and his penis wouldnt go in. hes fingured me alot! but wen we tried to do it it wouldnt go in. and am also wondering if it would hurt when we do it because ive already been fingured.plz help (link)
when he fingered you, it's possible that he scratched something, which could be part of why it hurts. Probably he's just to big and your too small. I suggest getting a vibrator, it could help kinda stretch you out


Okk,well i didnt really know how too work this.And i didnt know were too putt it...But

your brother fingered you? are you sure you didn't mean boyfriend? please tell me whether that was a typo, or if it was really your brother, cuz my advice might change

they both look like smokey eyes so rim both lids all the way with black eye liner, then put gray or black on the top and smudge it, also put mascara on the top, it looks strange on the bottom

places like seventeen.com and other websites have tips on how to get smokey eyes, so google it and check some out


My dad has yelled and cussed since I was born. For example, last night his sister called and I went over to him and I had the phone in my hand. I said, "Dad? Do you want to talk to your sister? Here's the phone." And he ignored me, so I put it down and was walking up the stairs, and he heard his sister leaving a message. He ran over to the phone, turned to me, and yelled, "YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER IT?" And I didn't know what to say because I had asked him if he wanted to talk to her, but he didn't answer. I coudn't cry in front of him. I did once and he started screaming at me for it. Do I even have a reason to be upset for him saying that to me? I don't know. Sometimes I feel so stupid for getting upset over things like that and I don't think I have a reason to. I was trying to tell my mom something earlier and he walked by, glared at me, and said, "SHUT UP!" For no reason. He yells and cusses at me and my brother almost every day for no reason at all. I've talked to my mom before and she didn't do anything. The only time she's tried talking to my dad about it, he simply started cussing at me and her. He's okay one minute, then the next he's yelling like a maniac. I can't take this anymore. I'm still crying over something he said to me LAST year. Do I have a reason to be upset? What am I supposed to do? (link)
This is a really sad situation and you absolutely have every right to be upset, sensitive, and angry. Your father seems to have extreme anger management problems, he seems like an all around mean man. do you know anything about his childhood, such as if he was beaten or abused? that could explain why he acts this way, but even so, it is uncalled for and he shouldn't be yelling at his kids that way. I think that you should write your mom a letter, it's gonna be awkward, but it could really help. It seems like there are underlying reasons why your mother doesn't ever take your side. It could be because she knows something about your dad that you don't, it could also be because she is so worried about a divorce that she does not want to do anything that could upset him more. For now, you really need to let everything that your father says go.
please try to ignore what your father says, you really did absolutely nothing wrong, when he is cruel to you, you can be mad at him, but do not become angry at the world, it's going to take time for your father to change and right now you need to focus on your own happiness, which means getting out of the house more often, leaning on friends for support, and finding others hobbies that consume your time.
But please write the letter to your mom, it will really help, jsut be polite and mature, and if you choose to do that and need help with it, feel free to email me back and i will help you.

also, your brother is struggling with the same thing, so don't be afraid to open up and talk to him, he probably needs you as well


So, i just recently download imesh, which is just like bearshare...and i downloaed some songs, when i tried to open them in itunes it said it was "WMA protected" format..and then it tells me it can convert it to a different format more suitable for itunes..when it tries to convert it says it is unable to do so..I think i need the songs in mp3 format..Any idea how to conver them easily, or where i can get music for free adn suitable for itunes? (link)
I suggest downloading Limewire, it works really well and goes automatically into your itunes library.


I apoligize if this is in the wrong catagory..

I support PETA's campaign, stating not to wear real fur, leather, and wool. However, I do not know if some things that I own are real leather, or just fake leather. I do not own any leather clothing, but I do have leather binders for school.

I REALLY don't want to use real leather, so I would like advice on how to tell the difference between real leather and fake leather. However, they won't tell you on the product most of the time, so I can't do that.

Thanks (link)
for the binders- it is pretty unlikely that they are real leather, so that's probably just plastic. As for everything else, things like sneakers and belts may have leather . It's usually softer than pleather and smells less syntheticy. other than that, when buying things it's difficult to tell whether it's leather or pleather, but you know that if it's really expensive, it's probably real leather.
