ask mackenzie





I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:

and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ i need help going on a diet and losing weight.
ive tried everything! lol
i excersize, go to gyms..dance..swim..a bunch of stuff..n it hasnt seem to work.
does anyone know a good diets/excersize plans that can help?
We'll staRt out with the obvious: exeRcises. A few good activities that can simply assist in poRpoRtioning the body in it's ENTIRTY would be anything that gets the blood ciRculation goin', such as jogging, jumping jacks, jumping Rope, and walking, and bicycle walking. Also, 'tis the season of wateR aeRobics, and they will woRk like a CHARM!!



And if you'd like to taRget youR tummie specifically, tRy doing a couple hundRed sit ups oR cRunches. I know, I know, I know.. 'a couple hundRed' is A LOT, but if you bReak it up into sessions, it's not that difficult, tRust me. I'm the Queen of lazy fuckeRs, so if I can do this, YOU can do this! :P



And to tone youR ass and thighs, do leg lifts. To do these, stand up stRaight, and slowly move youR leg -ONLY YOUR LEG- backwaRds. Like, say you'Re going to kick something, but kick BARKWARDS, and DON'T BEND YOUR KNEES!! Make sense???



To tone youR arms, take two dum bells [whicheveR weight woRks foR you.. even if 3 pounds]. Put one in each aRm, and stand up stRaight with youR feet shouldeR-width apaRt. BRing the dum bells up to youR chest with youR elbows folded out [like TaRzan pounding his chest-soRt of motion, ya know?] Then at a MEDIUM speed... extend youR aRms out to the side, and slowly bRing them back in. You can do two at a time to help balance the stRength build up and toning, oR do one at a time if it's easieR. THIS DOES CUH-RRRRAZZIIEEEEEEE AMOUNTS OF MIRCALE!!!!!!!!!! If you do it foR at least 20 minutes a day you'll see a GIGANTIC diffeRence in a week TOPS. I do them all the time; it's fun!!



Also, pRoviding you cut out the EXTREMELY unhealthy foods, such as WHITE bRead [substitute it with wheat], cake pRoducts, ice cReam, hambuRgeRs, and soda... [if you'Re used to consuming A LOT of it] you can see a MAJOR diffeRence the fiRst two weeks, ALONE. My fRiend did it.. and we weRe both shocked to all hell!


You can find lists of healthy foods at:

As you pRobably alReady know, it's best to eat SEVERAL SMALL poRtions a day. Say, have an apple and a piece of cheese, two houRs lateR have a few cRakeRs, and an houR lateR have one piece of wheat toast, and so on and so foRth, ya know??? Little intakes of food like that givs youR body time to digest it pRopeRly. You see how that's betteR than eating one oR two huge meals a day... because it takes too long to catch up, and it can not buRn the caloRies quick enough, and then just quits, adding body fat.


But of couRse weight loss takes time.... you just have to stay committed, and have the dRive to keep it up. TRy to keep youRself busy... and sleep as often as possible... these things keep youR mind busy and off food. I can't Really say how long it will take; I suppose that diffeRs fRom peRson to peRson. It Really just depends on how much weight you'Re looking to shed. I'd say you could lose 10 to 20 pounds in a month; that's veRy possible, though you DO NOT need to lose that much!! It is still my opinion you aRe at peRfect weight as is!!

Goodluck to you though!! Hopefully I've been of some assistance heRe!! :D

♥[?]♥ i want to stop watching porn on the internet i hate because after i'm done watching i feel like i'm worthless.
Awwwwwww!!!!! Just because you may watch some poRnogRaphy heRe and theRe does NOT make you woRthless; you REALLY shouldn't feel this way; theRe's no Reason to!! But if you want to stop, I can not change this, so the only thing I can suggest would be getting involved in otheR things. SpoRts? Babysitting? Full time job?? VolunteeR woRk? OR is it's an uncontRolable uRge, change the paRental settings to make those type of websites simply unaccessible.
Hopefully this helps you??
Goodluck on youR quest!! ;D

♥[?]♥ 13/f i like this guy but he's 16!! i don't know what to do!! we haven't really talked that much..but i know alot about him from his friends..i like love him so much!! what do i do?
If you can somehow dig up enough couRage within you to appRoach him YOURSELF, this would be the best way to go about it. If it's just impossible foR you to do so, just ask his fRiends foR his scReen name. And then you invite them to the movies one weekend, and tell them they have the option of inviting him.. :)

♥[?]♥ dose any body no how many stamps to put on an envolope that is going from NY to florida?/?/
I rAtE hIgH!1!1
Distance has no beaRing, Hun. It depends on the weight. I think a stamp is 37 cents these days?? Use the one, and then if it's exceptionally heavy, say full of some photogRaphs oR a 12 page letteR, put like two 1 cent stamps on it.

♥[?]♥ OKay... so is there any way at all to get rid of a cold sore faster because I've been sick for like a week and usually when I'm sick I get cold sores, well, I have one, I woke up with it this morning and my boyfriend comes home tomorrow. He won't kiss me when I have a cold sore. And he's been gone for two weeks. Any suggestions?
Well, I looked up some websites foR you that I believe you might find of some use:

- http://ms.essortment.com/howdoigetrid_rldk.htm
- http://www.online-ambulance.com/articles/doc/2/grp/Dermatology/pg/1/art/HowtoGetRid.htm
- http://www.couplescompany.com/Jungle/TED/herpes1.htm
- http://www.otan.us/webfarm/emailproject/coldsore.htm

Honestly, I wouldn't suggest tRying to foRce him to kiss you. You'Re muuuuuuchhhh betteR off giving it some time to heal up, and THEN doing whateveR it is you'd like to do. Cold soRes aRe a foRm of HeRpes; definitely something that should NOT be spRead aRound, ya know???
Anyways, hopefully those sites weRe of some value to you! :D

♥[?]♥ will anyone exchange pics with me?
No, don't be retarded. Try ASKING FOR SOME 'ADVICE' or getting the hell off the site.

Thank you, this is all.

♥[?]♥ If anyone wants to get their self rated on a scale of 1-15 on how hot they are (girls only please i dont judge guys) but yes you can answer this question and say your age/weight then ill give you my AIM sn and you can send me a pic..i rate honestly (pictures must be nude or almost, sorry =/ but other wise i couldnt judge you)
What???? Don't make me kick your head in, Kid..

♥[?]♥ hey where can i get a free online countdown...like i want to put in my my profile to count down till my birthday! i rate 5s!
You can find counteRs of all soRts, including biRthday counteRs at:

Hope this is what you'Re looking foR! :D

♥[?]♥ i am a christian, and i have a problem with sex, i want to do it, :-( when i think about it i cant get it out of my head. i dont know what to do. please help.
So what's the pRoblem EXACTLY? Maybe I don't undeRstand. I honestly don't know much at all about Religion, but is the pRoblem that thinking of sex is a 'sin' oR something?? I think you should woRRie LESS about what it's a 'sin', and woRRie MORE about what makes you HAPPIE. Also, sex is a natuRal and beautiful paRt of life. We'Re all human beings, and we all cRave it. Don't feel bad about this; theRe Really isn't any Reason to. And if it helps.. think of it this way.. you can THINK about it, as long as you'Re not DOING it, ya know?? Hopefully this has helped you in the slightest?? :)

♥[?]♥ Hi.
I have acne and whenever I wash my face, it feels tight and starts to get dry and sometimes flakey. What's this mean? Also if it helps I just started using this face wash.
Maybe I don't undeRstand youR question? Isn't it supposed to feel that way? That's how I feel afteR I wash my face.. Does this huRt you??? And did this only become so afteR you staRted using this new face wash?? Maybe you should discontinue it foR a week to deteRmine if it Really *IS* this new face was that's making youR face 'tight'. ARe you developing Rashes?? I Really don't know what to tell you. All I can suggest is if it staRts to huRt, buRn, itch teRRibly oR peel baddly.. you shouldn't use it any moRe.. Hope.. this.. helps?? :)

♥[?]♥ Who is mike jones? and why does everyone say their him?
Mike Jones????? I guess he's a RappeR???? I looked online, and came up with this:
http://whomikejones.com/

Uhm, I Really do not know why people say they'Re Mike Jones... but I'm RICK JAMES!! :D

♥[?]♥ what does the phrase.."skinning them alive" mean?
To peel the skin away, while the being is still LIVING. It'd be pRettie impolite to actually DO, to say the least. :)

♥[?]♥ any ideas on plucking your eyebrows w/ less pain?? plz hurry!! thanks!
I have "line bRows"; they'Re baRely theRe, so obviously I pluck them alllllllll away -- and it doesn't huRt me *ONE* bit! If you've neveR done this befoRe, I always Recommend *AFTER* a showeR one night, hold a *WET* and *HOT* cloth oveR youR eyebRows foR about 2 minutes -- the showeR allows youR poRes to open up, Releasing haiR a bit easieR, and then the hot cloth will loosen them up moRe, say if you dRied youR haiR befoRe doing youR bRows, ya know? This still will moRe than likely huRt some, but not *NEARLY* as much as it would have had you *NOT* used the hot cloth. It's kind of a bummeR that theRe's kind of no way aRound the pain at the beginning, but you just have to tell youRself that "pain is beauty", and it will all be woRth it in the end. AfteR youR done plucking them, oR even while you'Re STILL plucking them, the aRea aRound it tuRns a deep puRple and swells -- which is completely fine, and should be *GONE* by moRning, say foR school. AfteR a couple times of plucking them.. let's say ten.. you will have damaged the neRve endings, and the pain will just go away.. to the point wheRe afteR 30 times oR so.. you will have no pain at all -- like me; and that is a good thing!! PeRsonally, I think it's *DEFINITELY* woRth it, but that's just *my* opinion. Also, it's extRemely impoRtant to have good tweezeRs!! I *HIGHLY* suggest getting a slanted tip one; it's Really cRucial that you'Re comfoRtable with youR weapon - *haiR is the enemy*!! I took the libeRty of finding you some sites with tips and additional infoRmation; I think you'll find them useful: http://ak.essortment.com/eyebrowplucking_rdzs.htm ---AND--- http://www.ehow.com/how_2824_pluck-eyebrows.html . Take this slow, foR if you OVERPLUCK, you simply have to wait foR the haiR to gRow in again; and you can only fill in the mistakes with pencil, so take youR time. I wish you all the best of luck! Hopefully I've been of some help to you. Know that you can always come to me if you need anything else.. =D

♥[?]♥ I recently broke up with my boyfriend who is 16(I'm 14), because he didn't want a relationship and I did. All he wants is friends with bennefits. I told him I wasn't going to do that with him, and he said that was ok. He asked if we could hang out today, just hang out. so I said yeah, and I told myself that I wasn't going to do anything with him and then he came over, and the next thing I know, im straddling him (fully clothed) and making out with him. It got carried away and I ended up giving him a hand job. He thinks it was just friends with bennefits and I'm a piece of ass. I don't want that, and I want to know if I should just cut off all relations with him and stop talking to him, I dont need him as a friend. or a boyfriend. what do I do!?
Well, it IS tough to Resist sometimes, I DEFINITELY do undeRstand that, and I DEFINITELY do know how you feel theRe. It's kind of a simple answeR though, Kiddo. If you can't manage to Resist and show some self disipline but yet aRe still completely again a 'FRiends With Benefits' Relationship, then it's best to avoid seeing him entiRely. =/ Hopefully all goes well. :)

♥[?]♥ how do u get different backround colors and pictures??? please explian i'll rate high!!!
To get pictuRes you use the following code:
< img src="URL OF THE PICTURE HERE" >
Then you simply delete the TWO EMPTY spaces that will connect the < and > to the Rest of the code.

And to get a URL foR youR pictuRe, go to http://www.photobucket.com and SIGN UP foR a FREE account. Then you go to "BROWSE", and seaRch youR computeR foR the pictuRes, and click "SUBMIT", then simply copy the PROVIDED URL. InseR the URL wheRe I told you to within the code above.


To change the backgRound coloR, use the following code:
< body bgcolor=COLOR CODE >
And then DELETE the TWO EMPTY SPACES that will connect the < and > to the Rest of the code.

FoR coloR codes, check out:

Goodluck to you, hopefully this has been of some help. If you'd like fuRtheR assistance, know that you can always come to me, as I have a MySpace as well.

♥[?]♥ im turning 14 in a week and two days. i really want to start making my own money. i dont know where i can get a job. i have heard of some places around me that hire at age 14 like food stores, but when i go there its all older kids, and i wouldnt want to be the young one. any idea of where i could work and not feel too little?
Not a lot of places will hiRe someone at 14, Kiddo. The best thing I can suggest would be delieveRing news papeRs, and maybe doing some woRk at a libRaRy oR animal hospital - though they may see that as volunteeR woRk and you wouldn't be paid.. HoweveR, you'll neveR know until you ask! Also, you should check with any little local antique stoRes oR Mom & Pop pizza houses. Also, I know Wendy's and Subway hiRe at *15. I would say tRy theRe, but being summeRtime, I'm shoRe they don't need any undeRage helpeRs, ya know?? Aside fRom that, theRe's babysitting. TRy making a bunch of flieRs and distRibuting them on the bullentin boaRds at youR closest couple of gRoceRy stoRes; fRee advceRtising -- that's what it's theRe foR. HoweveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. Make shoRe you know exactly how to peRfoRm CPR on infants and toddleRs in case of emeRgency, and once that is all settled, you can add that to youR Resume. Call them cRazy, but paRents aRe moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you... Also, lawn mowing! BIG money to be had theRe; geneRally $10.00 - $45.00 peR GOOD sized yaRd. Happie Hunting!! :D
