I was on this site before recording my first single. I will stay a member of this site. I am asking that each of you support me by visiting my webpage. I have posted music that I have written and recorded. Check out Wildside featuring Father Jah, and I want, created in memory of 2Pac.http://www.reverbnation.com/Venomtheonly1
I am open, honest, truthful yet also insightful and understanding. I am a Strong woman with morals, belief, and character. I value life, myself and life of everything, everyone and all. I am mature, caring, giving, straight up and real!
I am not harsh, rude, or disrespectful but I am going to tell you the truth because you are asking for that. If you want a lie or support that you know is invalid because you question it yourself, please don't get mad at me for the truth because that is what sets us ALL free!! Peace, Venom

Is there any way to take off the french tip nails you have done without just tearing them off.
B/C when I just tear them off it usually ends up making my real nail tear in the long run.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Any remedys, like soaking in hot water.
Thanks in advance
acetone polish remover. They have the one in a bottle which requires you to get a manicure bowl and place one hand in their for about 30 minutes to an hour, or you can buy the one in the tiny container which does one nail at a time. Get it from walmart. Don't pay money at the nail salon because that's all they are doing. The remover is only 0.97 to 2.99 based on the size you get, so why pay 10.00-15.00 for it to be removed?
Anyone know any good Graphic design software which can produce calanders?

Life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it.
WHY DO YOU AGREE?
I agree because God gave his only Son's life so that I would be blessed to have life, and I would never take it in addition to the fact that Jesus Christ gave his life willingly for me and the world so that we may live more abundantly. The Lord giveth and he taketh away. I am not the Lord, God or Jesus so who am I to have the nerve to claim to be one of Trinity and take my life when I said it's time to go or anyone else for that matter?
I also agree because I am grateful for every gift/blessing that I have been permitted and allowed to have by the Grace of God, throwing it away is unappreciative to the life he gave to me to have, which condemns me to eternal damnation instead of internal life.
On May 22 I was given devistating news that after an 18 month battle with cancer my 9 year old cousin would die in any where from 2 days to 2 weeks. This news devistated me and left me not only depressed but i found myself isolating myself from others. Images ranging from him laying in bed paralized (he became paralized from teh waste down) to him laying there thinking (his organs began shutting downa nd week 2 he was not responding to anything) On June 4 he passed away which just sent me more into a down hill sprial. More images poured into my head and again more after his funearl on June 7. Now i find myself seeing his face every time i close my eyes-- pictures of him in his casket or burning in fire ( he was cremated after his viewing & service)
now i'm stuck.. trying to start a new beginging without him in ym life but with no help
i wnot talk to anyone but my boyfriend about it- and he seems to avoid the topic because he doesnt know waht to say.
so what do i do?
hwo do i move on with life?
how do i wake up every morning withotu first thinking if it was a terrible dream?
life has to go on, the world wont stop for me.. so what now?
i need to learn to "move on"
i'll never forget his strength, his courage, or his smile
but im afraid that if i move on, i'll forget
and i just can't let it be tru ein my head
so now what?
i just need help..
experiences, spiritual guidence- anything
please help!
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. My heart truly goes out to you, as I have been there.
I understand completely. My grandmother passed away in 1998.It is now 2008 and I still hurt the way I did when the family found someone bold enough to tell me. I was very close with her. I used to live with her, and she was like my mother, more of a mother figure to me than my real mother.
Celebrate his birthday, every year. I let balloons go for my grandmother's birthday and I light candles all over the house. Her birthday is a spiritual ritual for me that will never be broken, because my 3 children also do this and will continue once I have passed. Also, why not start up a fund for children with cancer or help get donations to make a large one to funds or charities already started on his behalf?
Why not start a group for people to chat or talk about the ones they love so dearly and have passed away? Don't forget his life and let not his death be in vain - seriously.
Moving on is something that has to be done, as life moves on you must move with it, in order to sustain and achieve things in life that your cousin would've looked up to you for doing, but now he is looking down on you from above as you do it.
I have come to learn that those who leave us physically haven't left us spiritually or mentally. remember that. As a matter of fact, I still talk to my grandmother in my mind, in my dreams and when I do it, I can feel her right there. I have gone through some hell since she has passed, but as I go through it and come out of it there is a strength there combined with God's and I feel that it is her.
Part of the reason I chose to help others is because she helped me and others so much and I refuse to allow her death be in vain. Death is viewed as negative because of the pain involved, and that's so understandable. There is also a positive within it to. The first positive is that there is no more suffering, sickness or pain. The second positive is that you have the ability to help others who are going through this. As you help others heal, you are also healing yourself too. The dreams that you are having, really compels me to encourage you to seek counseling now rather than later.
I am praying for your strength to carry this tremendous load up the mountain placed before you. Keep climbing, you are going to reach the top one day. Never forget his life because he will live on inside of your heart, soul and mind. Remember the good times and look forward to better times! my email address is sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. FEEL FREE to email me at any time.
i am making a big mistake! so i mae a rule for me to not eat after 7pm, but its not working ! and tonight it is currently a little after 930 an i just had 3 donuts!
I am scared, I need to loose weight , but its really hard for me.
What are some inexpensive ieas/foo?
xox Please and thank youu.

That's great that you have mentally told yourself not to eat after 7, now stick to it. I went to Beverly Hills Weight Loss clinic a couple of years ago, as I used to weight well over 300 pounds, and they told me not to eat after 6. I did lose the weight but gained it back because I didn't have enough will power and I put the matter over my mind. I eventually lost over 100 pounds with more to lose but I did it on my own.
This is what I did -
Drink 8-9 glasses of water a day.
Started Yoga and Kickboxing.
Begin to focus more on my mental, while loving me more.
Read books to keep my mind from thinking I was hungry when I KNEW I wasn't.
NO Pork
Chicken, lamb, turkey
Cut back on beef intake (once a month) only as a reward as I love steak. "smile"
Always eat a green veggie with lunch and dinner
Try not to fry anything, try baking and grilling
Try eating in a saucer instead of a plate. It makes you eat less but you still visually see a full plate (even though it's a saucer)
Need breakfast (who has time, right?) breakfast bar, granola bar, boiled egg - slice of WHEAT TOAST, something simple.
Need to eat 6 HEALTHY Small meals a day to speed metabolism.
Hope this helps.
I cant stop eatin

im gettin realy sa about this , but i cant stop its like addiciting in some weird way
and when i see other girls skinny , i dont feel good at all , and it brings me to the ice ream..
help!
I can relate with you. When I find myself getting depressed, upset, or angry I WANT to turn to food, but because I once weighed much more than I do now, I decide to turn to celery, fruit or other raw veggies, and munch on that. If munching is what you do to calm yourself, do it, but be selective in what you munch on.
Instead of turning to ice cream, try ice milk or sherbert or frozen yogurt. As you allow yourself to vent in your own way, you are also being healthy while doing it, which will make you feel better about yourself as you see the weight coming off.
Try walking to relax and calm yourself too. Instead of viewing it as excercise, see it as relaxation to meditate later on. Also, once you are done with walking, come home, light some candles, take a hot bubble bath, and let it all out (even if it's crying) once you get out and dry off, leave the candles on and eat something light and healthy. If you are old enough, have a glass of wine, with some relaxing music (Jill Scott, Erykah Badu or whatever you like) and relax a little more and reward yourself for changing your lifestyle. Read a book on healthy eating or snacking for different healthy food choices and ideas too!
By doing this, you are losing the weight relaxing PLUS meditating your mind, body and soul, so that you can calm down and stay healthy.
Good Luck in Loving Yourself...
My boyfriend and I are thinking we may need to break up, but we want to stay friends...*if* we break up, I'm afraid it may not work out with friendship, but he says he'll be my friend no matter what...I want to be friends with him too, but I don't know how I'll be able to deal...any advice? Thanks!
I have to agree with xxkelsxx.
I tried being friends with someone that I was deeply in love with as he was deeply in love with me too, but we couldn't get it together so we opted to break up, and be friends.
He had another woman and I had another man and it caused drama in the new relationship, causing that one to break up too, because the ? of how can you 2 still be friends when it's so obvious that you 2 are in love still.
We started back dating again, broke up tried to remain friends, but still couldn't, because of feelings. YEARS went by (college in different states the whole 9)and still weren't able to remain friends due to feelings, history, and things shared (good and bad) we ended up getting married and divorced, still tried remaining friends, still didn't work, ended up back together and are now considering marriage b/c we can't be friends. It becomes a cycle. Either it ends up positive or negative there is no in between. We are now back together again because we realize that we can't be friends and we aren't testing it anymore- it has been 17 years soon to be 18 years.
Good Luck in your situation and I wish the best of happiness with either decision you both lean towards, sincerely
I really like a guy. But my friend dumped him on the second to last day of school. I was so mad the way she did it. She just said, "We're over" I wanted to kill her. She also had a big group of girls with her when she did it too. I really like him. But i'm in 8'th grade, and have only ever had one bf before. Do u have any advice for me, so i can stand out, and get his attention. Cause i think he still might kinda like the girl that dumped him. I know of three other girls that like him 2. I need some advice, so i stand out more than them. Do u have any advice for my situation? Thanks
confused 13 year old
General Rule of Thumb: Don't hook up with your friends' X boyfriends. It could put you in a situation to be used to get back at her for dumping him OR you could be considered as a rebound.
So, before expressing your liking of him, please talk to your friend about it, first to see if it's ok to bend the rule of thumb. Don't just up and do it because it won't be appreciated.
Never change who you are to stand out. Be yourself. If you want to be noticed after talking to your friend, then ask him to notice you and your interest in him and take it from there only if you aren't ruining a friendship between you and your friend. Never see yourself in a competition when it comes to guys - only challenge yourself and be competitive with success in your life for your future.
okay i'm a cutter and my whole family knows it, but they think that i quit because that's what i told my therapist and so she told them that i quit, but i didn't. so basically, what i do is wear a bunch of bracelets but it sucks ass and it doesn't work all that well so i need a really good way of covering them up. i live in texas so it's like 100 degrees here every day so wearing long sleeves is outta the picture. please give me any ideas i just need them covered up! thanks in advance!
I wasn't going to respond to this but I have to or I will not sleep tonight and I will feel guilty. I refuse to do that to myself regardless of what you are doing to yourself.
I don't understand why any one would respond advising how to cover up cut wounds from inflicting injury to self. I also don't understand why you would post a question asking that type of question. It's hurtful and my heart drops to know that you are hurting yourself intentionally. Please contact your therapist and tell the truth also, please tell your parents the truth so that you can get the help that you really need to stop doing this to yourself. I am sure that you have reasons behind doing this, but can't you think of some other way to release what ever it is that's causing you to do this, serioulsy. Also, I am NOT trying to be a B or rude to you, I am just concerned about you.
Heal those wounds from the inside while healing the actual wounds you have caused yourself on the outside.
Praying for you and your family because I can't imagine what they too are going through as a result of this. Also, by not telling them the truth or your therapist you are also betraying trust of those that care so much for you to even seek and provide help. Please think about that.
So, what exactly constitutes a soulmake? Is it some quality like being so alike in so many things? Or is it some kind of able to tolerate each other's differences and faults and end up loving them/you for those as well as the pros?
Yes, it does involves the things in which you have mentioned in your question. It also consists of loving so deeply that it involves loving from your mind, your heart and your soul. In my opinion it takes TIME, to get to that level of feeling that someone is your soul mate or that you are their soul mate.
There's so much tolerated, encumbered, and sacrificed to obtain that type of love, and it comes with time because it's not always positive and these words I have just described are viewed as negative, but once these things have been shared between two it turns into an appreciation. A bond is formed which constitutes, understanding, trust, love, truth, respect,admoration, humility, humbleness, appreciation, communication,fidelity, honor, and submissiveness and intimacy on a mental and spiritual level before physical even comes to play. It also consists of being equally yoked,which is referred to in the Bible.
With a soul mate, you can feel their emotion as they feel yours. You actually know each other better or on the level of knowing selves. It's deep, and it's very hard to get there, it's not easy at all to find the person worthy of holding the title of a soul mate. Respect that it is the same for them too. Once and if a soul mate is ever found, hold on to them, and let NOTHING or NO ONE ever come in between it, because there will only be one person in life, who is an actual true real soul mate. It's not questionable once you've found each other because the both of you will know.
It must happen naturally and not be forced or rushed. I hope this helps shed some light on my opinion of what a soul mate is constituted of.
Ok so there was this guy that for the longest time i thought was really hot and we finally ended up talking the other day, and then he proceeded in asking me out on a date. The date went fine we held hands and stuff but didnt kiss. the only thing was i felt really confortable areound him and im not sure if that means im just confortable around him or if i just like him as a friend. Cause shouldnt i be nervous? (Im not sure cause ive never been on a one on one date haha) Anyways so now hes talking to me alot adn i feel like he likes me alot more then i like him, i want to tell him im not sure how i feel about him so that im not leading him on, but i want to continue to be friends with him and go out sometiimes...what should i do? and can anyone help me on weather or not i like him or not? Thank and sorry about the length
I don't think that being nervous has anything to do with like or dislike. It's based on personality and maybe your personality is full of confidence like internally thinking "I got this".
I remember my first date and I wasn't nervous at all, I was comfortable as well. Before liking someone for more than a friend, it is best to like them as a friend first, in order to become more comfortable. I commend you for the fact that this is your first one on one date and you maintained that confidence and respect by not kissing just yet.
It is possible that he likes you more than you like him and I feel that this is the most important factor to focus on. Tell him, that you are somewhat confused about where this is going and where you want it to go at this time of your life and that you want to remain friends, and see him occassionally to figure out your emotions and what you want out of this friendship, ask him to do the same, so that you guys are on the same page of developing a better solid friendship before a relationship.. hope this helps
Good Luck

Guys are very confusing.So i've been hanging out with this guy who i really like,and well i guess you could say were "friends with benefits" but all we've done is kiss for about a month now.He's a shy guy in school,but outside of school he's huge talker.We'll it feels like we go out,and i want to be his girlfriend but i don't know how to ask him like what we are without actually saying it because i don't want to be just a girl he gets with i'm tired of being that.So anyway,how can i ask him without actually saying "what are we?"
thanks :)
Most guys have egos - and so, compliment him and let him know that not only have you had fun with him, but you appreciate the time that you two have been sharing. You want to be positive and not negative - the words of I don't just want to be.. or I don't want to ONLY kiss and be a random chic.. don't come across kind of lowering the time that you two have shared as if it means less to you, this could push him away. Instead say words like, you need and want more from him because you have more to give to him.
Ask him if he has desires of being in a relationship with just the two of you, and let him share his opinions and desires with you. Also, prepare yourself to make a decision on what you want or will accept if he says he is not looking to be in a relationship at this time of his life, and that he enjoys what the two of you have been doing and that's all he wants.
Good Luck and remember that a closed mouth doesn't get fed. "smile" always ask for what you want, if you never speak up on it, no one will ever know but you which means you will never get it.
i'm a 16 year old girl..
my friend, who's also a girl and 17..well, she does the weirdest things that bother me. she calls me her best friend. let's just say that maybe she is.
well okay. this friend texts me about 10 times a day and tells me to "call her please?" okay, i call her. she spends 25 or so minutes rambling on about her problems, without giving me pauses in between so i could tell her about ME, and then, at the end she says "thanks for listening. bye"
i don't get it. i feel like she uses me.
another reason why i think she uses me is when i try and help her. i know it's hard on her..but her family's not too well off. they're having problems within and stuff. and well..i print stuff out for her and she kinda never thanks me. i insisted that i could help her out..and so now she acts as if its my obligation to print her stuff out and help her with homework AND listen to her problems.
also..i let her use my membership for the gym (my mom's) and she calls me and texts me sending me angry messages on when we could go already..acting as if its my responsibility to give her MY MOM's membership after I LET her borrow it for some days!
I mean, I understand she's older. But when things get to a certain point..they have to stop! Pretty soon, she might like start asking me for money or something. I don't know how to approach this situation. She thinks its my obligation to go to the gym with her when really its not. I'm just too weak to tell her. Am I exaggerating things? Cause I feel like she's using me.
First of all, you aren't weak at all. You are acknowledging that you feel used, this makes you strong - There are 3 A's - Acknowledge, Admit and Accept. I am not saying accept that you being used, but I am saying accept the fact that this is something you must voice your feelings about with her. She is older, therefore she should have some level of responsibility and understanding mixed with maturity.
There is a way to talk to someone respectfully yet tactful. You are also correct, that pretty soon she most likely will ask you for money. It took me a long time to realize when I was being used, because I never had many friends, and so I just took it until one day a huge bottle fell from the sky and hit me right in the head! LOL seriously, I woke up and asked myself these questions.
1. Is this friendship beneficiary for me as it is for them?
2. Do I feel respected or used?
3. Is there anything that I can get from them? Would they loan to me or allow me to borrow if I asked them for something?
4. Do they listen to my problems and help me through them or do they just disregard what I am going through, only speaking of themselves- which is a sign of selfishness
Call her up, and talk to her or meet up with her and talk face to face - explain your idea of a friendship, your expectations,your needs as a friend, and allow her to discuss her views,upon doing this, you both can come to a mutual agreement of if this friendship works for both of you, or if it doesn't.
Good Luck!!
OK so I am male/28 I've been with my BF for a year and a half (we're gay) and 3 nights go we had a massive argument.
In the heat of my rage I threw the contents of a glass of wine in his face, and then I made a run for it for the sake of my own safety.
We havent spoken since then, even though i have written him a long msg on facebook and told him we need to talk. He has taken most of his stuff and the only times he makes contact is to say something spiteful on SMS.
We live together and so the rent is our joint responsibility. I just about afford it on my own, but i wouldnt really have much money over to life the life I used to. My question is, should he continue to pay for the rent cos he choose to move out? If so, for how long?
Also i'm still not 100% sure that is definately over but the more time passes the more sure it is looking.
Please give me advice. THanks
It depends on who signed the lease. Also, if you signed the lease too, and he bails on you, it becomes a civil issue, seriously. You would have to continue paying the rent and take him to court for his half of the rent not paid but it will be payable to you and not the landlord. I am really sorry that you got stuck with the short end of the stick. I would be more concern about the rent and the money than the relationship it self.
If he has bailed out on you once, he will do it again. Many people including myself have gone through this before, and the positive thing is to take this as a learning experience.
Morally he should continue paying for the rent but you and I both know that he isn't going to, so you will have to handle it legally with him. You may take him court before hand to get a judgement against him to force him to pay for half of the rent - it depends on the state laws of where you are. Most likely your best option is to stay there, get a second job, pay for the rent, wait until the lease is up, keep receipts, and copy of signed lease with both names on it, and take him to court.
I have to make a cd for class with 6 songs on it that have something to do with the European Enlightment. They have to be contemporary songs that relate to the Enlightment. If possible, explain how the songs relate. Thank you!
Many of the Beattles songs were reflected upon as enlightment.
I also find some songs by Linda Ronstat to be enlightning. Ex: Wind beneath my wings, and The way we were.
Man in the mirror - Micheal Jackson
Black or white - Michael Jackson
These are just a few to give you an idea for start.
Good Luck
okay so im 18f and when i was younger i used something on my hair that wasnt supposed to be there i ended up damaging it and now i have bold spots. i need something that would make my hair grow. i have alot of bold spots like where my bangs are at and its pretty embarrasing can you recommend a product that will help me grow my hair back and do you know the price? thanks alott!
hair has different tectures based on race. Your race hasn't been advised so it's kind of hard to answer the question in regards to over the counter things to help.
I will list some things that I know of that helps with hair growth. I am black/Panamanian and my hair texture is long, kind of straight but sometimes curly based on the humidity. Hair Mayo, and Mane and Tail products, also extensive condition treatments (that you get under the dryer with) - alfogee treatmetns, and also, try Dr. Miracle products. I would also see a dermatologist as well as a hair dresser in reference to the hair growth. I am not too sure of the price of the items I recommended but I am sure you can do a google search on these items and their prices.
I hope this has helped. If you are questioning why I have listed these products, it's b/c my mother owns 3 beauty salons.One in KY and one in TN and one over seas. I have been around hair products and breakage for as long as I can remember and I also use the products myself for my hair to maintain it's healthiness, at one point it was to continue growing it.
Good luck
I was suppose to get my period on the 4th. Its now the 6th. Can I be pregnant? I'm not on BC, so could my period just be out of wack since I'm not on BC
Have you been sexually active? Are you trying to get pregnant?
If you were once on BC's and now are not then it could be the reason you are late. If you were never on them, then maybe considering BC's will be good for regulating your period.
If you have been stressing or worrying about something, this also causes periods to skip.
If you have been sexually active without protection then you could be pregnant. I am going to first suggest that you get a pregnancy test to determine what the problem could be.
lets say youre in this situation. (its also mine..)
from grade 1 to 9, you had nearly straight As. you were an overachiever. your parents were proud of you. stress never got to you.
in the 10th grade, you were SOO tired of always getting the straight As and the stress got to you so much, that you just completely let yourself go. you always felt like sleeping, you would go days without eating..and days where you ate too much. you never felt like doing homework anymore and felt the need to look at the mirror and look perfect for a boyfriend more than doing work in school. you've found that you're losing friends and your grades slip slowly...to a point where you're getting Cs instead of the As you thought you would get in certain subjects. you only do what is easy for you and you dont even study for tests. you finished the year off...normally. average. not as the overachiever straight A for final grade person you used to be.
would you think this is depression? why would this happen to a person who has never done bad in anything..? all of a sudden? it just doesnt make any sense to me! I'm slowly getting better and hopefully will get back on track by next year. But I don't know what happened to me. What would you think?
16/f.
yep, I think it is depression. I can identify with being an over achiever. I did the same thing when I was in highschool. I was depressed because I was bored in life and got tired of being classified as a nerd, or a geek. I had little friends and so I went into a serious depression,too. First think about what has happened that has caused you go into depression.
I hope that you honestly sit and analyze what the problem could be, only you know what has changed in your life, to cause you to change your habits of eating, studying and making good grades. Most people go through changes every 7 years of their lives, the changes do effect their mental stability, causing depression from the chemicals released just as it does their physical state. .
Once you've identified when the changes started and what was going on at the time of the change, email me at sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. I think I can help you. I went through it as a teenager and my 16 year old son and 15 year old daugher did too.
is there any way to get rid of vaginal discharge odor?
You said vaginal DISCHARGE, not vaginal odor.
Discharge isn't good. If it's colored, you will need to see a doctor because of infection possibility. If you haven't been sexually active, you could purchase some norforms or a medicated douche even.
Sometimes before and after a period, women tend to discharge a mucous like secretion and it doesn't smell good but it's not foul like fish. Also, the vagina is supposed to cleanse itself out but I use douches sometimes to feel cleaner, personally.
Also, try sitting in the tub, to allow some water to get up in the area, showers don't do it. I think a woman should bathe every now and then instead of showers to help keep it cleaned up in there.
i am completely lost and confused. i first had a crush on a guy starting in may last year going till about juneish..or so i thought. turns out i dont' think i've ever stoped liking him. and he turns out to be one of my best guy friends. and i'm scared to tell him i like him and ruin a friendship. so please what should a 17 year old girl do about liking her really good basically best guy friend.
[and i heard he had a crush on me last year but i'm not sure if it was true or not]
tell him that you like him and that you don't want to ruin your friendship. Remaining friends while still in a relationship is something few are able to do, which is why there are so many divorces and break-ups today. It is very important to be best friends with the person you are in a relationship with. Being that you two are really close, then you both already know each other, you already know if the other is involved or not, you already know some likes and dislikes- that's a start to a great, nurturing, mature relationship.
Call him up, and say hey, you wanna go do something today? once he says yes.. go to the park and walk a little bit, hell, why not have a pic-nic and take that time to express how you feel about him.
Don't bring up the fact that you heard he liked you or had a crush on you last year because that was a year ago and you didn't pursue it then, which could lead to questions of why now? you feel me? so let's just avoid that period.
If he doesn't like you back on that level then you still have your friendship. If he does like you on that level, then go for it. OR you could just down load some songs on a cd for him and give him the cd if you aren't good at just coming out with it.
Listen to Floetry Live - Have Faith is the name of the song. They have another song called feelings, and check on Mary J Blige - A friend of mine.
Good Luck, and I hope that you two do get together, I think it will be perfect!
