What is that band that women wear around their legs called? The cartoon character Betty Boop wears one with a heart. What's the purpose of it? (link)
The elastic band is called a garter, it's purpose is served by holding up a stocking.


I am 16 years old and a female. I don't know how to cook, I stopped after I burnt some eggs one morning. I haven't had the courage to go back in the kitchen. So when I do go back, I kind of forgot what I am suppose to do( I know sounds silly). Please help me with what I need to do to become a good cook. (link)
You have no idea how many mistakes I've made like that, except they were much worse. Once I almost caught the oven on fire, after leaving a pizza in there with the wrong temperature. So please, do not let this discourage you. I myself, am a very good cook and I still make little mistakes here and there. I'll give you a website that should help you --

If I don't eat sweets or drink sodas will I really see a difference in my weight? (link)
Yes, this will make you lose weight. However, switching to Diet Soda can help you lose weight, in itself. The sweets are bad for you (lots of sugar, carbs, etc.), so I'm afraid I can't find a substitute for that. Here's a tip: You can eat just about (excluding sweets) whatever you want, as long as you eat it in small portions. Close your hand and make a fist, and however big your fist is, that's how big your portion should be.


I like a guy he is a blonde surfer type of guy. most of my freinds who are black all tell me that surfer guys only like whit girls with blonde hair and as i am colored they said he would never in a million years go out with me. Are they telling the truth? (link)
As far as all guys who are sufers, absolutely not. Unforunately, there are some who do only like those girls, and they're jerks in my opinion. If they're racists, they're jerks.

Luckily, there are many guys who are involved in inter-racial relationships. So please, do not let this discourage you, with this guy. Or any other guy, and remember, if this is true for this one guy -- he's just a jerk. And you deserve better than that, so I wouldn't even worry about it, if that's the case.

Good luck with the guy, I wish you the best of luck!


mmmk, so i have really chinky eyes and i have no idea which colors look best on me without making my eyes even smaller....by the way, my prom dress is colored dark green, if that helps.

thanks in advance! (link)
I don't know what color your eyes are, so I can't tell you exactly what would look good on you. However, a smokey eye will fit anyone. You could do it in black or brown, for a softer tone. And here's a trick to make your eyes look bigger and wide open -- white eyeliner. A girl's best friend.

And by the way, if you would like me to give you a more detailed answer for your eye color. I would be happy to, and you can post it in my feedback if you would like me to do that.

Here's some info for black eyes -- "Use Covergirl very black eyeliner, then for Shadow, there are these really great Covergirl shadows that come 4 in one compact (at any drugstore) get the one with the colors "Dusk, Evening Shadow, Metro Sparkle, and Streetlight." then on your eyelid, start with Dusk and then just fade up and end with Street light. It will really make your eyes pop, and you will get tons of complements! Good Luck!" This is from Yahoo! Answers, I thought it would be helpful to you. :)


if your bf of one year physically hurts you..like kicks you in the leg..punches you in stomcach..throws you on the ground..pins you down..grabs you by the jaw..you get the picture..well anyway if that happened to you..and you have been together for a year and nothing like that ever happened..what would you do? would you forgive him? after how long? would you make him get help? i mean..we've all done really dumb stuff before...

No, please, I urge you to get help. Tell you parents, one of your friends, go to the police, etc. I know, you don't want to believe your boyfriend is a bad guy, and even if this never happened before -- it's happening now. And it will more than likely continue to happen. I don't know you personally, but I don't want you to get hurt. Or anyone else who's going through this type of abuse.

No one deserves this, and please do not think you do. Many fall into to that trap, and never, is it true. I definitely recommend getting help, there is national abuse hotline, if you would like me to post it here. I can look it up for you and edit my answer, and do so. If you would like me to do that, please post it in my feedback. And I will be more than happy to do that for you.


When you get to be in your 80s do you start to get more negative and criticize more and get more sensitive. (link)
This depends on the person, and what type of personality they have, etc. However, it is very common in older people to get that way, but then again, people act like that at my age. :)


What do i do about my bf???!!! (link)
Tell him to take a hike, and break up with him. He's only a jerk, that doesn't deserve you.


he cheated on me. hes with the girl he wanted and wont leave me alone and still bugs me for liking guys. hes really jealous and annoying! is it because he still cares about me and loves me?

No, I'm afraid this is the case of "Wanting to have his cake and eat it, too." Just as ygsgirl, explained. I would forget about this guy, and move on with a good guy who will not cheat on you, and treat you as you deserve.





okay for valentines day if u have a boyfriend is he your valentine no matter what? or does he have to ask you?
and if he has to ask you to be ur valentine, is it stupid to ask him?
(link)
Since he's your boyfriend, he's already your valentine. See, if some asks you to be their valentine, they're asking you to date them and be their sweethear. So no need to ask, he's already your valentine. :)

Happy (early) Valentines Day!


My boyfriend and I have been dating for 6 months now. Everything is going really well, but I have one concern: he's a Republican and I'm a die-hard liberal. Because I have this knowledge, I avoid any type of politial discussion with him. My friends are convinced that this will lead to our demise, but I don't know. I love him very much, we get along so well, and he makes me very happy, but I sometimes feel like I'm hiding my feelings about certain subjects from him. This is not like me at all; I'm a very opinionated!

I'm wondering if I should end it before we get in too deep because of this, or if I should just stay with him and allow whatever happens to happen.

Thank you all in advance! (link)
I think first, you should talk to him about this. See if he has a problem with you being a liberal, while he's a republican. In my opinion, I think if you both really like/love each other, then being a republican or liberal shouldn't matter. So my advice, is that you should break up for that being the only reason.

And remember the saying, "Never discuss politics with friends!"


ok this may be stupid but what does it mean when someone asks you: do you wanna be ma valentine?
??? (link)
It's another way of asking someone to date, just on Valentines Day -- it's more romantic and sweet.


I just took one in the internet, it was timed and it only consisted of 40 questions.
I got 110.4.
is this good, or bad?
avarage?

can some one give me the ruberic breakdown of the scores to average/belowaverage etc? (link)
110.4 is considered above average. So yes, it's a very good score. Here's the breakdown --

Anything below 100 is considered below average. 100 is considered average.
101-120 is considered above average.
120 and up are considered genious, and high intelligence.

Well i always say oh my god or jesus christ when i'm mad and after finding out that it's disrespectful I don't knwo what to say when i'm mad like if I hold it all in I will go CRAZY mentally and have a mental break down. I need something to say when i'm mad and don't say oh my gosh because GOSH is like being girly or saying it when you're shocked so i wouldn't say oh my GOSH when im mad (link)
Here are some subsitutes --

"Oh, my goodness."
"What the flip."
"Oh, crap!"
"Oh, fudge!"
"Darn it."
"Shoot."

i made a forum on advicinators but now how do i tell people on this sight to go to it? like can i put it in a question and post it or can i even put it in a private question or is that considered "advice whoring"? i really dont know. but i love talking 2 people and my computer wont let me connect to that chat room for now im working on fixing that though. could i post a link to my forum in the chat room or is that also not okay?
(link)
I do not recommend posting it as a public or private question. Because to be honest, no one really likes it when others do that. So I have a really good idea for you, or it's what I have done -- You can write it in your column, being as it is your very own advice column. And explain that this is your forum, and post a link there. And you can also post it as your website, in your column, too.

i like this guy who is a friends bro and i wont see him any more after b-ball season and i dont know how to tell him that i like him in like 2weeks seeing him maybe 3days a week even though i do have his emai
(link)
Actually, I have to disagree with the person below me. I don't think that it's you do not like this guy, I think you're probably nervous. I've been that way many times, knowing how much I like someone, but just can't seem to bring myself to talk to him.

I won't bore you with my story, but I went through something like this before, myself. And I finally brang myself to talk to him, face-to-face and tell him completely how I felt, and it worked out great for me. It was one of the best things I have ever done. So I definitely recommend talking to him, when you see him and letting him know how you feel.

Trust me, you'll regret it if you don't tell him. I wish you the best of luck, and I'm sure everything will work out for you. :)


this question is kinda for girls only.

ok so this is kinda gross but lately i have been discharging alot, i usually do but not this nuch.

why is this happening? (link)
No need to worry, this is completely normal. Sometimes we will have a small amount and others we'll have an excessive amount of discharge. This varies from period to period, and sometimes when you have irregular periods. Which are also, completely normal.
