Q: ok so i got the code to upload a pic under a pic on myspace but now wen i paste the url and click post instead of the pic appearing the dots do...
help.

Make sure you add the quotes around the url and close the brackets. Brackets are these: < >. Don't forget the one at the end, that's usually what causes the dots.

Q: ok so i just started sleeping with this guy. But there is one problem! He is never able to cum during after ANYTHING! i've tried a couple things to make him cum, but they just don't work. Is there something wrong with what i may or may not be doing or is it all him?

Maybe he's gay?

Q: What are your opinions on Gauchos (the pants) ?

The word gaucho sounds alot like the word GAUCHE which means tacky and akward.

gauchos are tacky and akward.

Q: Is O.K. if I have a medium/light flow and I use a super tampon to last me all day? From say 7:00 in the morning to about 9:00 at night? I've been forced to do this before and the whole thing wasn't even soaked yet...
Is it O.K.?

You're keeping it in too long.

Q: I like this guy at school but the problem is he's black and my granny is really prejudiced and he asked me out and i said yes so we are going out but my entire family wants me to break up with him just becouse of the color of his skin what should i do?

Honestly, they can't stop you. Who gives a fuck what your racist granny says.

Introduce him to them or something and show them that he's educated and polite. Which I really hope he is.

If worst comes to worst, say you're meeting a friend at the movies and meet him there instead.

Q: hi what kind of a camera is that in your pic??

Canon Rebel f2.

Q: 13/f. My mom brought me to her hairdresser saying how great she is. Well I've always wanted my hair down to my elbows but someone ALWAYS talks me into cutting it differently so I've NEVER had hair and longer past the sleeves on a short sleeve shirt. And I had sidebangs also, and my hair looked fine the awy it was.

Then she cuts my bangs across my forehead!! Relaly short! And she angled my hair and it looks TERRIBLE. My hair isnt even past my SHOULDERs now.

Everytime I look in the mirror I start crying, And I cant believe I let my mom talk me into this. I'm crying as I type this, I hate my hair so much. I can only wear my hair with a headband because I can't even pull it into a ponytail. And it looks horrible with nothing in it.

I donteven want to look at my self, I'm completely disgusted with it.

I dont even want to go to school tomorrow. Because some of my friends insult everything I do, so I try to avoid them but they still manage to insult me. I dont know what to do.

I need to know how to get myhair to grow FAST also. It cant be a ponytail because my hair doesnt work with a ponytail right now.Any shampoos that work REALLY WELL PLEASEE give me the name and where to get it. I want to get it today if possible, so nothing i have to order on the internet. I wanna start using it as soon as possible

Sounds like what happened to me last year. I asked for bangs and a trim, and ended up with a mullet up to my chin. I cried and cried and yelled and told my mom i'd commit suicide if she made me go to school. I bought hoodies and wore a hood to school for the next month, i'd say how much I hated it, and when I complained about it, my friends went along with it. After a few monthes I tried to be confident about it, when I was confident and showed it off, people seemed to actually like it.

Moral of the story, unless you plan on paying for extensions, you've gotta deal with it. Act confident about it, say how much you love it. The confidence (even if it's fake) will rub off on other people and they'll grow accustomed to it.

Q: im sorry to ask, head really hurts, just need to make sure,.
whats a plot?
whats a theme?
thanks,.

I'm assuming you're dealing with literature homework.

The plot of a story is the sequence of events (rising actions, climax, falling actions, etc.), and the main storyline. What it's about.

The theme of a story is the "moral" or "lesson" learned from the story.

Q: What are the Warning signs of Miscarriage:
If you experience any or all of these symptoms, it is important to contact your doctor or a medical facility to evaluate if you could be having a miscarriage:

Mild to severe back pain (often worse than normal menstrual cramps)
Weight loss
White-pink mucus
True contractions (very painful happening every 5-20 minutes)
Brown or bright red bleeding with or without cramps (20-30% of all pregnancies can experience some bleeding in early pregnancy, with about 50% of those resulting in normal pregnancies)
Tissue with clot like material passing from the vagina
Sudden decrease in signs of pregnancy

^^all that stuff has happened to me.....

Recurrent Miscarriage (RM): Defined as 3 or more consecutive first trimester miscarriages. This can affect 1% of couples trying to conceive.

Blighted Ovum: Also called an anembryonic pregnancy. A fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall, but fetal development never begins. Often there is a gestational sac with or without a yolk sac, but there is an absence of fetal growth.

^^and that sounds exactly like what i saw. Can someone please help me. What should i do now?

Please see your doctor, that's the only advice anyone on here can give. Hope all is well.

Q: okay so im blonde. and people sometimes serouisly think that im dumb - just because im blonde. and it kinda pisses me off at times cuz they treat me like im just stupid. and im not. i get A's and B's on like everything and get pretty upset if i get like a ac or lower. and still even if i tell people that im smart, they just think im stupid. what should i do?

You have to just deal with it. Once everyone grows up it'll stop, all the stereotyping will stop.

Prove them wrong, act, talk, or dress more mature. Get glasses, for some reason they make you look instantly smart.

Q: how do you become popular. like full out popular.

Eat a lizard for five dollars during your lunch hour.

Q: Alright. So there's this worker at my community (complex condominum (sp?) And he works here every day, whether washing cars, or watering the plants. He looks 25-30, and he's a gangster hispanic/latino. And I'm a 15/f. Well, I just find him ABSOLUTELY weird and suspicious! OMG...It happens every time. I walk outside to take the trash out or to get the mail, and he is watering plants (today). Of course it's obviously inappropriate for a 27 year old guy to talk to a 15 y/o other than saying hello right?...well he said hello, and as I was taking the trash out, he stopped watering the plants (he had a cigarette in his other hand) and he came up to me REALLY quickly and drunkedly (sp? lol) said "let me get this for you" and he opened the door to the garbage disposer. I know it seems "OK" but the way he said it was SOOO weird and evil and...it was like he wanted to "get" to me or something! It was in his eyes ;_;...and as I was getting the mail, I noticed him spying on me. I don't trust these kind of people...and i don't know what to do. He works here every day. Now I know the kind of advice that is going to come to me; "Tell your parents". But I don't want to do that...because I don't want any trouble. Any tips on how to avoid him if he gets too close?

If you have a feeling he's suspicious, he probably is. It's human nature to sense out those kind of things. When I was younger, I was always so creeped out by my mom's new friend, he made me so uncomfortable, he was so nice though, I didn't understand. Turns out he was schitzophrenic and literally insane.

Tell your parents, see what they say. If he makes you feel any more uncomfortable you could probably talk to the community supervisor or something like that.

Or next time he talks to you just tell him to get the fuck away from you.

Q: What is a real good hair conditioner that is sold?

Hands down, Pantene Pro-V.

Q: I'm going to a "freedom" themed party on friday, as its the end of our exams, and i need a costume idea - any suggestions? The theme is pretty "free", haha, any interpretation would be fine!
Thankyou!

Have you ever heard the phrase "free as a bird"?

or butterfly?

or basically anything with wings. If I had wings, i'd be free and going wherever the hell I want.

Also you can wear anything american-themed but that's kind of tacky.

Q: when people write 'yew' is that like 'you' or is it like 'yoooohooooo!!'

sorry, but whats it mean?

They mean 'you'. God knows why people do that, they think it's "cute" to sound illiterate and uneducated.

Q: is it hard to start becoming a vegitarian?

It depends on the ammount of meat you consume. For me, it wasn't hard, because I gradually gave up meat in steps. I cut out red meat about 3 years ago. I was then eating chicken, pork, and fish. After a while I started eating less white meat, until finally I gave that up as well. After that, for about a year, I was a pesco-vegetarian until finally at the end of last year I stopped eating seafood too.

Now that i'm a full vegetarian, I have no cravings for meat at all. At first it was kind of horrible to go out to dinner and see people eating chicken fingers (they were my favorite), but now I don't think anything of it. Plus, imitation chicken nuggets satisfy the craving when my family and friends eat real ones.

The hardest part about vegetarianism is going out to eat. My family goes out to dinner atleast three times a week, and it's a bit of a hassle to find a place that serves vegetarian options.

Q: Okay, Beyonce lost 22 pounds in 14 days by using this diet consisting of lemon juice, water, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. And Jared Leto (30 Seconds to mars) lost 20 pounds in 10 days by the means of this diet as well. And one of my cousins tried this diet and she lost 18 pounds in 10 days.
I'm guessing that since my cousin tried this diet, it works. Has anyone tried or heard of thie fast/diet? I really want to try it. But how can you manage to live just off that and plain water and nothing else for ten days without fainting or something?
