What actually IS a thrift store and where on earth can I find one?
I'm English lol so I'm really not getting this and it would help if someone English could explain it to me...no offence if you are another nationality, but an English person will be more likely to be able to give me examples of these 'thrift stores' :)
When people don't want old stuff the places that wind up with it are thrift stores. Salvation Army? Goodwill? Ring any bells? These are examples of thrift stores. Personally, I think they rule. I got a brand new couch no stains or rips for a grand total of 45 dollars. Rock on thrift stores! Peoples unwanted stuff is cool.

I masterbate alot how can i chill out on doin it cause i do it alot
Well, you could just try willpower. But if that is anything like the willpower to not swear, or eat sweets it might not work so well.
When you feel the need to do it yourself, try playing a game. Tennis is good, you are hitting balls and running. Usually by the time you are finished playing tennis, you are too tired.
Go to the mall, it is inappropriate to touch yourself in a public place (you might get arrested)
Go to a friends house. Just make sure that they are not hot, or it may cause more problems.
If all else fails you could call your mom. That should stop the loving feeling.

I have been with my boyfriend for a year we've even planned on getting married, I'm crazy over him but i always find myself jealous over other girls exspecailly his ex. He wasn't a virgin when i met him and i was, so you know where the story goes from there. I cant help but think that he still loves her sometimes. I mean i dont believe he talks to her but i'm just so afraid of losing him to her. On top of that fear, latley i find myself argueing with him over stupid things, half of the time i dont even remember why the arguements started... I even told him i hated him( i was mad and didnt mean it) I think i'm pushing him away or going crazy... whats my problem?? How do i fix it?? Wht do i do about the ex?? The Jealousy?? plz help me i cant lose him........~luvlee~
Jealousy comes from insecurity. It sounds like you are having difficulty with his past loves. Since you are feeling insecure about your relationship you can try getting an alarm system. You can attach to him and whenever he stares or thinks an impure thought about another girl he will get zapped. Then you will be notified by email. I do not suggest doing this however because A. Its inhumane and B. He's not going to like being shocked like a Rhysus Monkey. So the only thing you can do is tell him about your fears and let him know that while you are picking small and unimportant fights, it is just because you do not want to lose him (Now understand that the last sentence did not make sense. Why would you pick fights if you did not want to lose someone?) Hopefully, if he is a good boyfriend, he can reassure you that he is with and committed to you. You cannot go around thinking that he is getting back with his ex. That only make both of you miserable. You are going to have trust him and learn to be ok with that. Oh and they actually don't make alarm systems for human relationships. But ooh the possiblities...

What is the difference between them? I have decided to put my faith into one of them cause i know they both involve Jesus and the Bible but how are they different?do you go to hell for being one over the other? do they worship the same god? and where can i get a bible? also is it true that luthern is based off the bible. I have ruled out Catholic. Also is mastrubating a sin? I will rate 5's for decent help.

There are similarities in the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran
church. Martin Luther, the protestant reformer who founded the Lutheran
denomination, broke from the Roman Catholic Church, but kept the parts of
the faith that were scriptural (based on the Bible). Later reformers did
not do this, which is why there are more similarities between them than other
denominations.
They both practice infant baptism, and communion as sacraments. Roman
Catholics have more sacraments than Lutherans do.
Lutherans also reject purgatory, praying to the saints, and praying to Mary as
unscriptural.
Their services are very similar in that they are both liturgical. There is a
set format. They both also have Bible readings, but a sermon that is based on
the readings as well.
Lutheranism is based on scripture alone. Roman Catholism is based on
scripture + Papal decrees + Church history.
Lutheran churches are governed locally, not from a big church hierarchy. You can get a bible from any bookstore.
Christians follow the teachings of, and about, Yeshua of Nazareth, commonly referred to as Jesus Christ. (Jesus is the Greek form of Yeshua which is normally translated as Joshua; Christ is Greek for "the Messiah" or the "anointed one.") Most Christians regard him as the son of God. They further believe that he is God, the second person in the Trinity. (The Trinity consists of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; three separate persons, all eternal, all omnipresent, all omnipotent, all omnibeneficient, who form a single, unified deity.) Most Christians believe that Jesus co-existed with God before the creation of the world, was born of a virgin, was bodily resurrected three days after his death, and later ascended to Heaven. Most conservative Christians believe that Hell awaits anyone who has not repented of their sins and trusted Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Church history:
After Jesus's death, his followers formed the Jewish Christian movement, centered in Jerusalem.
Saul of Tarsus, originally a persecutor of the Jewish Christians, reported having a vision of the risen Christ, circa 34 CE while on the road to Damascus. Adopting the new name of Paul, he became the greatest theologian of the early Christian movement. His writings, along with those of the author(s) of the Gospel of John, provided much of the theological foundation for what has been called Pauline Christianity, a movement that he spread throughout the northern and eastern Mediterranean basin. Paul's ministry was directed mainly to Gentiles -- non-Jews. Another belief system was Gnostic Christianity. They taught that Jesus was a spirit being sent by God to impart knowledge to humans so that they could escape the miseries of life on earth.
The Roman Empire recognized Pauline Christianity as a valid religion in 313 CE. Later in that century, it became the official religion of the Empire. From there the crusades and such happened and Christianity evolved (heh) into what it is today.
That last part about church history, I actually looked up online. My knowledge of religious history isn't that great. It's something I need to work on.
My question to you is what made you return to religion? You signed a former atheist. As a non-believer myself I am wondering why the change of heart.

How would you respond to the following statement:
Most advice is never taken. It follows that the practice of giving advice, while noble and compassionate, is best described as an exercise in personal exploration and growth.
Dr. Chad
P.S. Your early stuff was hysterical. Your serious answers are good, but they don't stand out. I liked you better sarcastic. Try to balance your choice of questions between the serious (like, should I sleep with my teacher) and the inconsequential (like, what should I be for Halloween?) I'm a fan. ;-)
I would answer that question with my actions. I am not going to advance my psych degree for I know that if I did, I would slowly come to hate my life and my patients who are so profoundly fucked up that they could never actually put into effect the suggestions I have given. It would be a waste of my good thought and their money. (which actually would be MY MONEY) Most advice IS never taken. Advice only reflects upon those who give it. If they are willing to spew wisdom, those who listen shall reap the benefits. Those who cannot think for themselves seek those who think outloud.
Which is why I choose to make fun of twelve year olds who cannot spell and don't know what to be for Halloween. If they do not take my advice it is because they are psycho. They want to run cursing around movie theaters and pretend to smoke to be cool. They can talk all kinds of shit behind others backs, yet cannot muster a simple "Wanna hang out sometime?" At this age most of them cannot tell the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground. If I can point that out to them while calling them hurtful names, yet still doing them good, I shall be happy. I am glad you are a fan. I like fans. They keep me cool when it is hot outside. However, in order to keep my rating high, I must every once in a while give answers that may not stand out. It may go against all I believe in (which isn't alot) but it is a sacrifce I give to the advicenator world dominated by those who threaten one's to smart asses.

hey guys.. well pretty soon my friend is having a keg party(drinking) and inviting everyone because her moms going to be out of town that night.. and i want to go but im scared that the cops will come and we all will get busted.. shes done a lot before and never gotten caught by her mom or anything but since its this big of a party im not sure if i should go or not it would be a ton of fun but i dont want to get totally screwed.. so let me know what i should do, thanks...
Are you 21? If you are not 21 (and by your question and terror of getting busted I would wager you are not) You can go, just don't drink. They can't bust you unless you are doing something wrong.

For the gals--
what stars do you dream about and whats the best part about them {physicly]? keep in mind im only 13 so i cant have mustaches or anything like that.
PS:have you ever heard of drake bell? I like his old hairdo.
I like Johnny Depp. Why, because hes quirky. He doesn't choose the go to roles to play, he does his own thing and is very artsy. He has talent that just comes out in everything he does. He is a complete person and not just a pretty face. He throws himself fully into things that he believes in. He doesn't have to be clean shaven, his clothes don't have to be in fashon, he is confident in who he is and he knows what he likes. You don't need better looks. You need to like who you are. When you like who you are, others will follow. Find things that you are good at and shine through those things. Don't worry about what others see you as. Change how you see yourself.

ok well i have this really hot niebor and we like to insult me like flirting. well one day i was on the porch at like 11 he just pulled up in his drive way.. he is 16.fence and he started to make these sex noises like he was fucking me .. but i just wanna no if that means he likes me
Sounds like he's horny...and he might have a thing for his fence. Or he likes to pretend that his fence is you. Just ask him how it was with the fence and say if he ever wants to hang out, you could see a movie.

Has anyone got any really FUN ideas of what we can do at Halloween if it rains so heavy we can't go out? We are 15 and 16 year olds but we're not up ourselves or obsessed with being 'cool'; we don't mind being a bit silly and childish! I'm thinking something scary as well though. Do NOT suggest movies because we'll do that at the sleepover part and do NOT say 'ooh have a party turn some music on and have a blast you're 16 gurl!' because a. that is patronising b. that is boring c. all my friends like different music and d. that has nothing to do with Halloween.
One suggestion, my favorite game of ALL time. Hide and go seek in the DARK. Use blankets to cover all the windows lock all the doors. The only rule we used to use was you cannot leave the house and you must stay on the same level (if you have a 2 story home) You can choose to use or not use flashlights. It is up to you.

What exactly happens in the movie Hide and Seek? I want a fairly detailed and comprehensible answer (so anyone who wants to say 'wel dey hav a scari tyme n its rli rli CoOl lOl yu shud WaTcH iT OMG haha', don't bother answering) as I am a wimp and want to avoid nasty suprises. I'm watching it at Halloween and no I don't mind if you ruin the plot/movie/ending...that's the whole point of this question! :)
Rather than giving you the plot of a scary movie...I would rather give you advice on watching a scary movie (because I used to be a wimp too and I used to have nightmares after watching them) I am doing this for two reasons. 1. You are not always going to have the plot for scary situations. You should learn how to deal with them and thus making yourself less scared (the whole give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish)
2. I always used to ask that same question. You know what people did? They LIED. They told me lots of stuff that never happened and I ended up not knowing what was going to happen anyway (and then I was mercilessly taunted for asking)
So.. Keep in mind that these movies are not real. This concept revolves around the supernatural. There are no such things as ghosts. NO matter what Jennifer Love Hewitt trys to make you believe. She just wants her show to not be cancelled. There is no scientific proof for ghosts. Seeing this movie will not hurt you. You will walk away and be fine. Years from now you will not be hiding in your room because you saw it. These movies are meant to be entertaining, they are meant to scare for the sake of fun.
If you start to feel to scared or uncomfortable, get up and go to the bathroom. You had a lot of soda, so naturally you would need to potty. If you have already used this and start to feel too scared again, look off at a picture on the wall or watch the other people watch the movie. This may help because they are probably scared too. Think about a cute boy/girl. Nothing is scary when you are thinking about making out with Amanda/Jack. This last coping strategy is my favorite....
Focus on scaring everyone else. At a particularly intense part of the movie, reach over and grab one of your friends. Scream AHHH and make them jump. It is funny, and makes watching a scary movie easier. So I hope that while I did not tell you a detailed play by play of the movie that I did help you in some way and you will be able to watch it and have a good time. Which is the point of the movie.

My mobile phone is being really stupid, taking days to recieve messages and if I send a message it'll be at least an hour before the relevant person gets it. It is about 4 years old now so I'm assuming it's just that it's old, but could there be any other reason why it's doing thing? Everything else is working fine on it atm.
Your phone may no longer be that compatible with all of the new technology that is out there. They don't make it to last nowadays. Your phone has had a long run. Pat it on the battery pack and let it retire. There are plenty of other phone options out there. Many of them come with a new, FREE phone. So just look around and see what you like. You have had very good phone luck!

Hi I am an advice columnist. I need some help. I am at a friends and I was at her neighbors house. We were tumbling and I knocked over one of the nice lady's pot holders. I broke the pot and I have scratches all over my legs. My friend got me out of there as fast as she could. I feel so bad. What do I do?
Write her an I'm sorry and offer to replace the vase. Hopefully she will be understanding and accept your apology. Apologizing and making amends is about all you can do.

Ok so my friend told me that when you get your peroied that your boobs get bigger. It that true? Thanks for all you help :)
Starting your period does not make your boobs bigger. For some women their breasts become swollen and tender before they start. This is temporary and painful. Starting your period is one sign that your body has entered puberty and that you are maturing physically. Your boobs will start to grow, but because of puberty and your genetic makeup, not your period.

ok well i think i have social anxiety disorder because when ever people whisper i always thnk there talking bad about me and i always think that im getting negativly judged everywhere i go its weird then i get all self concioncion and then now i never go out and i always think my friends are mad at me and i dont know whats wrong with me...HELP!!
if you give good advice then i rate fives no smart alecs and
also im 13/f
You probably do not have social anxiety disorder. Do you have panic attacks? Are you so frightend that you cannot leave your house? These are symptoms of SAD. However, you do sound like you lack self-confidence and may be on the paranoid side. You also sound like you are more self aware than others your age. Why are you thinking that your friends are always mad at you? Do they show signs of being angry (meaning they are not talking to you, they do not invite you out with them, or you hear that they are mad at you)What have you been doing that they would get angry? If the answer is nothing, then you are probably just being paranoid. If you cannot find a way to to stop and it starts to take over your life, then you should talk to your parents or guidence counselor and possibly seek a psychiatic professional. However I think you will just be fine if you ask your friends if there is anything that you have been doing to get on their nerves lately. You can talk it out and make amends if it happens to be true.

Well then my cpu broke. i didnt see the rest of the chat. Well it ended up him telling one of my friends that he likes her and I was just about to tell him that I liked him right before my cpu broke. Now he likes my friend and I'm really sad. How can I get him to like me?
I need Advice fast!
I rate 5s for most people
Did your friend know that you liked him? Since things are still kind of wierd and up in the air, you might want to ask him again. If he still says no then tell him. You were going to tell him anyway. Good luck.

Ok well there's this guy at my skool who acts like a total retard...like all the time..he's mature looking but he acts immature. Well he likes me...and he's always going out of his way to get in my face and act retarded...literally..im not just usin retarded as a way to say actin like an idiot! Like I never even noticed him until he started appraochin me and,,at first I was like ewww...but now im so0o confused..it's like i cant wait till I get out of my class to "run into" him in the hallway....idk if I like him or what..like it's so wierd...i think about if he were to ask me out..nd my first reaction would be no..but then why do i think about him and want to see him??? I'm really confused and I'll rate 5's if you even try to answer my question! thx!
His acts of retardedness are probably an attempt at attention. I have known some very spastic people in my day and they are not always like that. I would assume that is also the case for this guy. You said that you hadn't even noticed him, he probably picked up on that and decided to get your attention in a different way. Now, it seems as if you have taken a liking to said retard. Attention is flattering and it makes you think. Now, if it is genuine interest then I don't know try mirroring his actions back to him. I mean next time he gets in your face and acts strange, do the same back to him. That may break the ice and start a conversation. Then you can ask him why he acts the way he does and find out more about him. Then decide if you want to go any further.

what does kiss me on my ego mean???
i rate
Ego has two meanings....
1. An exaggerated sense of self-importance. Meaning that they think more of themselves than they should.
2. In psychoanalysis it is the part of the psyche that is in contact with external reality. It controls thought and behavior.
So when they say kiss me on my ego, they are saying kiss my self-importance or kiss my conscious thought.
I think, however, that they used to term incorrectly. Therefore you should point at them and call them hurtful names. Now they could have meant Eggo. Which is a brand of waffle. In that case the correct usage would have been "Leggo my Eggo." The addition of biznatch or beyotch to the end is of course optional.

If you were asked to sign a prenup, would you sill want to get married to that person? I always thought that if you go into marriage with the thought of divorce then it will happen. Signing a prenup is kind of like saying "hey, if this doesn't go well then we can just get a divorce and all my money will still be okay."
You have to protect yourself. Even if it's saying right now I love you and I want to spend my life with you, but since I cannot predict the future and I do not know what will happen lets be precautious. It doesn't have to say anything about the strength of love. Today so many things go wrong and instead of working things out people just divorce (bitterly). I personally don't believe in marriage (not saying I never will) if I want to be with someone I will be; and I will stay as long as it's a healthy and enjoyable relationship. If said relationship happens to last the extent of my live time I shall consider myself lucky. If marriage should result and a prenup is offered, I would not take that as a statement of intent to keep what's theirs. I would know that it is just so if a breakup does occur, things will be less messy.
[***Edit*** It is not saying that if we fight we should get a divorce. That is why instead of just divorcing the couple should attempt to work things out. Do you automatically think about breaking up with a boyfriend everytime you squabble? I haven't. Just because it is an option doesn't mean that you should be thinking about it everytime. If you are, then you shouldn't be getting married in the first place. Now the solution is not a prenup (it is for some, especially if they have large amount of personal wealth) the solution is taking marriage seriously. One should not enter it lightly. Some have forgotten about this. People need to be smarter about their desicions, and not always take the easy way out. But for some, not all keep in mind, a prenup is a smart choice. If it is not for you, then that is a talk you must have with your potential life mate later.]
