about

I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.
I'm one of the very blessed.


I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.


Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.


Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.


I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

i was watching Family Secrets on TV and i saw something about a girl names Victoria whose parents left her in her room for 9 years and stuff. then they referred back to a girl, i cant remember her name and this girl was called a "Wild child" and she was forced to sit in a chair for like 13 years or whatever. can anyone give me a site with more information on her? also, what drives a parent to do something like that to their own child? The second questions doesnt neeeeeeed to be answered but the first one is important.

This link isn't to who you're asking about, but to something that happened in my neck of the woods not so long ago, in case you are interested.

I don't know what drives people to treat others that way. They are mentally sick is all I know.

my face is kind of fat right now. if i take 2 30-minute walks a day (leisurely pace) how long will it take to see results? will dancing help? how long should i dance & how do i keep that from making my boobs smaller?

Realistically, you won't loose your boobs- just the fat from your boobs. That isn't a bad thing! ;)

The walking is good so keep at it, and do add that dancing- it makes for a fun work out. Dancing will also help you tone up and gain a bit of muscle.

I don't know how long it will take you to see the results, but if you stick to healthy exercise and diet, I would guess maybe a month or so to notice a change?

From what I understand healthy weight loss is something like 4 pounds a week, so in a month, that's 16 pounds! It may not seem like much, but it is a noticeable difference.

are the beatles and the rolling stones enemies?

And that is why we don't believe what we see on TV! :)
As everyone has already said, there is no bad blood between them.

I have decided that it would be interesting to model, but im not sure if im 'worthy' enough haha.

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 115 pounds
Bust: A34 (ya, ya small boobs)
Waist/Hip: Not Sure (i'm size 3 in pants)

I know there are a lot of places in Toronto that i could try out, im new to all of this haha, if anyone has any info about modelling, let me know.

Listen, you can't go about it comparing yourself to others.
Look at it this way, what if Cindy Crawford wouldn't have started modeling because someone told her that models shouldn't have moles on their faces?
If you want to do it, then by all means do so.

Just because you are an A cup doesn't mean you don't qualify to be a model.

You know where the places are to try out, so get going! :)

In the middle of August I'm going to the beach, and I realized that during that week I'll be getting my period, lucky me. I'm on birth control pills that have three weeks of birth control and then one week of sugar pills. I heard that to skip your period for the month you can start taking the next pack of regular pills when you're supposed to start the sugar pills. Is this true, and does it really work?

If it is, I'll make an appointment with my doctor and everything, I just want to know if it can actually work. [And yeah I realize it might be unhealthy but I doubt one skipped period will kill me haha.] Well thank you for answering.

Since you already plan to make an appointment with your doctor, they would be the best person to ask this question.

I don't know for certain if it works with the pill, but I know that the Nuva Ring will stop your period until it is removed. I don't know if it is because of the hormone in the birth control, or because the ring is still inserted.

That bit of info may not be helpful, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

If you start your next pack of regular pills rather than taking the sugar pills, I would strongly advise you take the skipped sugar pills the following week.

That would be better for you than skipping the sugars all together. You don't want to risk having too much hormone coursing through your body causing you to be an emotional mess. :)

alcohol?
why do so many people drink it. i've tried it && i hate it alot. do people just not like it and drink it anyways or do they actually like it?
jusst wonderrring :) thankss for readingg

Personally, I like to drink alcohol while sitting at home and hanging out with my husband on weekends.

Some people just drink for the effect- to get nose-in-the-dirt drunk. (Well, they generally intend to get just drunk, but typically end up with their nose in the dirt...)

Some people, like myself, drink because they like it. I like to sip on whiskey. To me it just tastes good. That is my personal preference.

If you hate drinking, then don't EVER feel as though you have to. Drinking alcohol is not good for you, so you are doing your body a favor by choosing not to. :)

my friend ran away from his house today, walked for about 2 hours, then went over to my boyfriend's house where we both were. my boyfriend and him a tight friends. can my boyfriend get in legal trouble for letting my friend into his house?

cuz really, my boyfriend did good, because my friend was walking through some sketchy neighborhoods. he could've gotten shot or stabbed, or jumped.

Letting him into his home so he is someplace safe was the right thing to do.

HOWEVER yes, he could get into trouble for aiding and abetting a runaway if he doesn't call his parents or the police to notify them of his whereabouts.

hey i was wondering if anyone knew what hair color i can use without bleaching my hair

i have naturally brown/dark brown hair and i do not want to bleach it to dye it

i want colors like pink, blue, purple things like that

oh and i already tried loreals color rays and that worked really good but they do not have a wide variety of colors

thanks so muchfpr the help =]=]

Do you have any stores such as Sally's Beauty Supply in your area? Some place that specializes in selling only beauty products to the public... (I don't know if Sally's is just around here, or if it is all over...)

Anyhow, if you go into a place like that, you can get a wide variety of colors for your hair.

I got from Sally's fuchsia hair color once upon a time, and I know they had WAY more colors to choose from than you could buy in a department store.

What would you do iuf you hurt someone's feelings (someone in your family) and you apologize but they don't want to forgive you?

Wow. That is a tough one. I know there has been a bit of that in my own family. So I know how much it really sucks, not only for the unforgiven one, but for the rest of the family who wishes hatchets would be buried.

The best thing I can think of is to let them cool off about it. When they have had time to calm down, then approach them again with your sincere apology and hope for the best.

It would be nice if we could just make them understand how sorry we are, but it just doesn't work that way.

You just kinda have to wait it out a while and hope they realize that there is not much one could do to deserve a family member not wanting to forgive them. They have to realize that holding a grudge about it just isn't worth it.

So really, it comes down to your time and patience to wait for them to come around.

I know that kinda sucks, but you don't want to keep saying "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" because after hearing it so much, it will seem to them like an empty apology. Make sense?

I hope it all works out for you soon. :)

Sorry... gonna have to file an abuse report on you...

And maybe you should check out the FAQ to see how ratings are used? The link is provided below.

Ratings of 1 are reserved for really bad advice that is harmful, etc and the columnist should be banned.

The very least my advice was worth is a 2. But I don't rightly care what you rate me, I regret to inform you.

Hello:]! I just bought the Clairol Natural Instincts hair product. I want it to make my hair lighter, but on the box in the lower corner it says "covers gray naturally", and then in the instructions it says to add to the darkest, or grayest parts of hair. I am confused to whether it covers gray, or covers all of my hair.
I am 15, so I dont have gray hair yet. Has anyone used this, and can they explain whether it lightens my regular hair?

All of them say that. Originally, dyes were made for women to cover gray hair.
No worries, it will color your hair just fine.
Color root to tip- roots are the darkest because they haven't been sun exposed as much as the tips.

why do people like to have unprotected sex when they're not trying to get pregnant?? does it feel better...or give you more pleasure doing it without a condom???

Yah. I have living proof sleeping in his crib that the pull out method doesn't work... FYI. ;)

I think it is lack of education, or "act now, think later." I think it is more the latter, or else we wouldn't see so many "could I be pregnant" questions on here. Then again, that falls under the lack of education department.

anyone who can offer any advice thank you very much :]

Why are you so willing to ruin your body? It has to last you a life time... Are you really that desperate? Come, now.
You should try a healthy diet and exercise regimen...

signed,
~i need help?~

Well, considering your mother is the parent, and not you, you have to do as she asks. Period.
Explain to the guy your situation, and reschedule for next weekend.
That simple.
Like someone else said- FAMILY COMES FIRST.
This guy will doubtfully be in your life 5 years from now, but your family will be there for the rest of it.

i'm a ballerina, and i'm thinking of bringing this kind of muffin that has 6 grams of fiber in it for a snack tomorrow, but I'm concerned that the fiber might make me have a really bad urge to poop/have diahhrea or something.

Will 6 g of fiber have this effect?

Fiber rich muffins won't give you the trots or anything unless you eat a bunch of them. ;)

No worries, ok?

Something weird is goin on most of the time now when i sit on i can feel the inside of my butt rumbling..Like its hungry or something haha its just rumbling even when i eat its mainly when i sit down! what is that! its scaring me! could it possibly be my butt just growing Please helppp

Well, that is quite strange, isn't it?

I would say this is something you should bring to your doctor's attention. Rumbling butt just can't be normal... I know I've never experienced anything like that in my lifetime...

ok i know this sounds a little weird and its going to be long and i'm sorry about it.

for the longest time, i have been in love with Daniel Radcliffe. now i know that you think that i cant be i love with him because ive never meet him, but im pretty sure that i really love him. well ive thought about it, and i realized that im never going to be able to be with him. hes going to find another woman that he wants to be with, and im going to be alone. i never realized that im not the only woman on earth that likes him, and hes going to choose someone else. now the chances of me meeting him and us becoming friends and falling in love are like 1 to 5 trillion. and i FINALLY realize, that im never going to have him. i know that your going to say " its just a normal teenage obsession, you'll get over it" or " you cant really love him because you've never meet him "thats what everyone says. ive thought about other guys that i know, and i dont feel that way about ANY of them. I'm stuck on Daniel. can you please give me any adivce that you think will help me?

thanks to everyone!

Shelby

Everyone is right in telling you that you'll get over it.
If you can't get over it, then it is really an unhealthy obsession.
