always kayla
it seems like i've been answering these questions alot lately. here's some things you can do without a diet.
-sleep 9-10 hrs a day
-eat all 3 meals especially a good sized breakfast. studies show that you can actually gain/keep weight by not eating breakfast, because your body goes into starvation mode and doesn't burn calories
-eat every 3 hrs er so, healthy snacks obviously, fruit, veggies, crackers, etc. it may seem like alot but it helps your metabolism and helps you burn calories
-exersize daily for about 1-2 hrs. basketball and swimming burn alot. go for a light run/jog er 100 crunches er something.
good luck!

i rate high
you definately won't make a fool outta yourself. if he's your bf, he won't judge you by kissing. maybe the last person you made out with is the one that didn't know how to kiss, ya know? you could also talk to your boyfriend about it first. i don't think you have anything to worry about.
good luck!
I asked a question before about my nephews army themed birthday party and I had another question:
I am thinking about letting them have a water war with water balloons and water guns. But it's really hot and I'm not to thrilled with the idea of having to pick up all the pieces of balloons out of the yard. So, I was thinking that maybe I could offer a prize to the kid that picks up the most pieces. My question is: Do you think it would be rude to ask the kids/guests to clean up the yard, even if I turn it in to a game?
Definately not. Juss do it in a fun way. I think a prize would be good, because it could make such a mess. Maybe some of them won't even mind doing it. Good idea.
-hope i helped!
4 of the past 5 nights, I have been waking up in excruciating pain. This pain is in my knee cap. It's not something I experience when I first wake up in the morning, it's something that attacks during the night, causing me to awaken. You've got to understand and believe me when I say this - this is the most dreadful, awful, intense pain I have EVER experienced in my ENTIRE life, hands down, without a SINGLE doubt. To be perfectly truthful here, I generally cry when I'm physically hurting, as it helps me cope with any ailments I might currently be dealing with. However, crying over my sudden and harsh knee pain doesn't make much sense to me. No amount of tears, and no tantrum I could possibly throw would do this pain justice. I find that it only upsets myself more. In the past I have always be able to rely on my tears to calm myself, and now that I DO NOT have that, I'm unaware of where to turn.
I know that I'll NEVER have a proper diagnosis until I see a doctor. Problem is, I'm not covered by Insurance, as we just moved to a new state, and my father's job does not offer benefits. But who's kidding who; the REAL problem is that I am AFRAID to inform my family. I'm scared they might TRY TO take me to the doctor. I know this is what's best for me, but the doctor/hospital is my biggest fear EVER. I realize if my pain is THIS insane, avoiding the doctor/hopistal is plainly prolonging the inevitable.
I'm not really sure about what it is I am asking here. I suppose I would just like some opinions, suggestions, guesses, ideas, knowledge... ANYTHING you might have to contribute!!! =/
- I'm female; a few days away from 17.
- I'm not exessively large, but I guess I could stand to lose a few pounds?
- Again, this has ONLY occurred 4 of the past 5 nights, and ONLY during the NIGHT.
- I know that the weather can do some funny things to your bones, but the weather in Connecticut has been in the 90's for the past couple of weeks. Always humid and consistent. The weather has never had an affect on me BEFORE - at least not that I've ever NOTICED, so I'm skeptical that the weather is causing my pain. At this point in time, I'm not going to cross ANYTHING off as a possible cause.
- This is ONLY in my LEFT knee. ONLY in the knee cap ITSELF - not the entire leg, and the pain does NOT "jump" around.
- My sleeping position? Generally [and ALWAYS the case when I have experienced this pain] I have been sleeping on my RIGHT side. MEANING, my LEFT leg didn't have much weight to speak of resting upon it, understand?
- I guess it's important to add that I have a "condition" where my legs and feet randomly swell up like Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters..... This used to be insanely bad [not to mention highly disgusting] but ever since I've gotten the proper leg braces, that problem seems to be no more. Now, what CAUSES that random swelling? Salt. Basically it's where salt gets stuck within my body, causing it to expand. You might be thinking that it's the LEG BRACES that is causing this, BUUTTT.. I haven't been wearing them for the past three weeks. So the problem IS NOT the WEARING OF them. This has lead me to believe it COULD MAYBE [just as it "COULD MAYBE" be anything else]... but it COULD MAYBE be my NOT wearing them that is having this affect on me. But if this is so, why haven't I ever experienced this in the past??? Yet, problems have to start SOMEWHERE, right? But really, my legs have only been a problem TWICE [as far as swelling goes] in the past 3 weeks since I've neglected to wear my braces. Honestly, I don't believe the cause has anything to do with this. Also, when this swelling is present, it starts at my toes, and works it's way UP my body. It never has a chance to even REACH my knees, because I catch it while still in my foot.
- This brings me to my diet: My diet hasn't changed much within the past 4-5 weeks. I've obviously been cutting back on my salt intake. Other than that, I really haven't been over eating or under eating any. I eat until I'm full, and I then call it quits. I NEVER drink milk or soda; ONLY ONLY ONLY water, and A WHOLE LOT of it. The past week my Mom [who is the one who generally provides all of our meals] has been away on vacation. During this time, I've been properly fed. But to be honest, I've sort of replaced lunch with a package of Austin Peanut Butter Crackers, which are very high in sodium. If this IS NOT having an affect on my SWELLING, I severely doubt it's having an affect on my KNEE CAP. As I previously said, I am not willing to discount ANYTHING as of yet.
- I'm not involved in sports, and since I am new to the area, my friend count is a complete zero, so needless to say I don't really go anywhere. So no... I haven't hurt it during some crazy practice drill or anything. I know that I can hurt it anywhere, but don't you think I would have noticed the pain [at least a TINY bit] if I had pulled or torn something?? And if you think I might have done this, why does it only attack at night? Not even during the day in my long naps in the SAME sleeping position.. but ONLY at NIGHT. Is that just coincidence???
- This pain strikes suddenly, and ONLY leaves when I begin to work my joint like a mad man. I generally lay there in pain for about 5 minutes, before I gather up enough courage and willpower to begin extending my knee. Once it's fully extended and moved around for about 10-15 seconds.. the pain DISAPPEARS ENTIRELY!! I would NEVER know it even happened.
Can someone tell me.. is this a "common" thing? Does it ever happen to YOU? Know any possible remedies or temproray solutions? What do you *ADVISE?
I understand you are not a medical professional, but I would be ever so appreciative of some guesses here. Please, anything you've got. This pain is so intense, my body begins to shake violently, and I get the urge to vomit. :D It's just not a pretty picture. Last night I slept with a huge garbage bag at my side, as I expected the pain. Can I predict the future or what -- I'll be damned if it didn't happen AGAIN. =[
Thank you, all, very very much for ANY information you provide.
Mackenzie
My apologies on the length of this question. I was trying to the best of my ability to NOT leave any details out, clearly.
In case you're curious, you should expect a rating. It's the least I can do.. :D
that's very weird, because usually when you get some sort've muscle, bone, etc. related pain at night, its due to exersize like charlie horses, which are like causing your muscles to tighten up. People in my family have knee problems, but it's cause of their weight, and since you probably aren't too much over weight, that's probably not it. It might be something to do with nerves. The first thing you should do is go get an xray, to see if its with your bone structure, er anything in those lines. They'll tell you what to do from there.
good luck!
I'm an eighteen year old female, and I'm going away to college this fall. The college I'm going to is a rural college with a strong athletic bent, and not many... "geeks." I, on the other hand, am quite the geek, and I'm very into video games.
I seem to be the only person listed in my dorm room... But I'll be in a block of dorms with other kids who are high academic achievers, including a few from my old school. I've heard that video games are a great way to meet likeminded people at college, and I've been thinking about which game systems to bring with me.
My Gameboy Advance, my old buddy, is going with me no matter what. It's my favorite system and I'm a huge Pokemaniac. I've already decided t take Pokemon Leaf Green, Sapphire, Ruby, Silver, and Card GBC. I'm also bringing Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3, and Zelda. But if I find Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, which one of those two should I drop to put it in my game? And I'm also taking Tetris, Tetris Attack, and Tamagotchi... but should I replace Tamagotchi with Super Mario Land or Pokemon Red/Yellow??
Also, I have a question about which system to take.
I have two major consoles--a Playstation1 and a Gamecube. I have a Sega Genesis also, but it's too fragile to move around. I can't decide whether I should take the PSX or the GCN to my dorm.
The PSX is about six years old. Games I have for it: Spyro, Crash 3, Bust a Move 2, Megaman X4, Dance Dance Revolution Konamix, and two Nascar titles. I have two dual shock controllers and two DDR pads, one of which is glitchy.
I've had the GCN for eight months, but I got it used. I only have three titles for it--Pokemon Box, Pokemon Colosseum, and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. I NEED Box to manage my Gameboy Pokemon games, but SA2 is useless for multiplayer becuase I only have one controller. (I do have a GCN-GBA link for the Pokemon games, though)
Right now, I'm planning on taking the GCN and switching if I'm unhappy. However, due to DDR and Bust a Move on my Playstation, I'm reconsidering... Which do you think I should take? Keep in mind that it's a Playstation 1, not a Playstation 2.
I think you should take PS, because DDR and Bust a Move are really popular, and maybe those games will help you meet people.

My ex boyfriend and I still have feelings for each other. The only reason we broke up was because of an Instant Messanger Misunderstanding since someone always goes on his screenname. Well, he has a girlfriend who he only likes as a friend (which I think he got to make me jealous.) He and I want to get together but I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt? So should we keep ourselves a secret, should we tell his girlfriend about us, or should I just tell him its not a good idea? We really like each other. So any advice would be great. I'll rate 5's for Helpful advice.
Ex boyfriend situations are tough to deal with. If you guys really do have strong feelings for each other, tell his "gf" about it. If you guys think that the feelings are juss kinda there, because you guys were in a relationship before, tell him it isn't a good idea. You could get hurt again, but seeing that you guys broke up for a misunderstanding, maybe not. You won't know until you try.
good luck!
whats the difference between going out with someone and hooking up with someone?
going out with someone is like going on a date with them. hooking up with someone is kissing/sex, etc
Okay, I'm about to go to college for the first time. Way back at orientation, I signed up for my classes and all was good. But recently I found out the Spanish class I signed up for was cancelled. So I signed up for one of the remaining periods, the only one I could take. Problem? I'm #11 on the waitlist. Is there any hope of getting into that class, which I need to take for my major, or do I put aside taking it, and sign up for something else, which might be something totally unrelated to my major and uninteresting to me? Please help, I need to decide soon! Thanks!
That's a tough one. I would try staying on the wait list, because there could always be people dropping out've it, so there could be a chance. It seems like 50/50 to me. If there was a way you could sign up for an extra juss incase, do it.
good luck!
Hi I'm in the 6th grade but anyways well wen i'm in skool there is this boy who whacks this chair against my chair, calls me stupid all the time, hits me and kicks me and all that crap and yet hes nice to me but i just dno if thats a sign of flirting and him wantign to get my attetion or just him hateing me and we are friends he sed it himself...plz help i'm just real confused
That definately is a sign of flirting, and i was in that situation. A boy liked me, but was doing those exact things, but it turns out i never knew it was him saying "hey i like you" until the next year. He's juss trying to get a reaction from you, and attention from you. That's all it really is.
good luck!
hey well im really depressed all teh time. and i want to quit school. and im just so sick of everything! im just stressed. can somebdy give me advice on what to do?
i think what you should do is relax and try to find things that make you happy. If you like shopping, plan to go shopping every so often. For some reason icecream makes me feel a lil bit better. You shouldn't think about quitting school, because you'll regret it so much when you get older. Trust me on that one. My aunt quit school at age 16 and now she's in her 40's. She wanted her degree in college so bad, that she actually went back to school for it. She's busy all the time and is having problems with her family. Even if you are depressed, stay in school, because you don't want to regret anything. Stress gets to me too, but i juss think about ways i can make myself happy and not try and stress myself out. If you do quit school, stress will get to you 10x worse in the long run. Sometimes everyone juss needs a vacation.
good luck!
My friend just apologized for blowing up at me and getting really pissed off. She said it was totally her fault and i forgave her right away because i wanted her back as a friend. Things went okay until my sexuality was brought up. She acted okay about it and said whatever i decided was okay but she wouldn't support it. Now whenever i talk to her she barely says anything and it really hurts. I thought she had forgiven me but it's almost like she said all that just to get it off her chest. She even said that this next school year she planned on making no enemies so i guess i was first on the list for her to apologize. I dont know what to do. She's really confusing me and i feel like i'm just annoying her. What's happening?!?!?
if your sexuality juss changed, er juss came out, then that's why she's probably acting different. she's probably used to something, and when that changes she reacts differently. i think you should talk to her about it and explain to her what a good friend she was to you, and that you don't want to lose her as a friend. No, you can't force her into a relationship, but sexuality shouldn't change one either. I don't think you're annoying her, but if you really think so, talk to her.
good luck!
on a myspace page, how do you get the "home / search / browser" etc to say different things? like this: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=18038427&Mytoken=20050811194108
go to the edit profile section in your myspace. itll have stuff where the colors are, so where the colors are that says home/search/browser, etc. the words will be there next to it. change em and save!
good luck!
well my ex boyfriends birthday is coming up and we decided we were gonna spend the day together after school or the following day together! weve been broken up for almost 7 months now! ya i know a really long time! but through it all weve been like best of friends and we talk all the time! and weve hung out twice this summer! well he does tell me he knows we both want to be together but it wont work right now because he is dating another girl but they arent going out cause she cant have a boyfriend! and even after being broke up hes like i love u and i always will! and just last night he said he missed us! and i still really care about him! but anyways for his bday i wanna do something really cute! i was already thinking about making him a cake and decorating it all cute and getting him a card! but i was trying to think of something else special i could do to show him how much i care! any ideas? thanks so much!
if you didnt get a card, get 1 of those giant ones! theyre sooo cute and fun. i think the cake idea is good too. the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. maybe you guys can go to a movie er something also. juss try different things you'll know he'll like.
good luck!

hi ive been using proactive for about 3 weeks. at first my acne was just around my nose, eyebrowns, and mouth. now its still there and alot started to form on my cheeks and forehead! This really depreses and upsets me because i thought this would work and ive been putting up with this for a while and im really starting to get really low self esteem because i see people with perfect skin and i just want that so bad. i dont know what i should do, i also tried on the spot neautrogena acne treatment, but it made me acne really red. Should i keep using the proactiv and just wait a little longer and see if it clears my face up? I dont know what to do, i have no more money i spent it all on the proactiv so i dont realy no what to do.
i dont have acne but i'd try clearasel. ive heard that it works and theres different kinds of products you can buy that arent too expensive. im surprised to hear that proactiv didnt work, but its probably juss because you have a different skin type. i'd google it er look at your local grocery stores, cvs, eckard, maybe in the mall, walmart, etc.
OH and also, i have a trick but idk if it works totally but it works for me since i never got acne. try not doing anything to your face. juss use water when you're in the shower. dont use any products and dont touch your face often. if that doesnt work, then go for something else.
good luck!
My mom and I have always been close but I'm fourteen now and we're still close but we get into fights a lot and it really bothers me. She's a preschool teacher so she gets summers off with me so we have a lot of time together. It's just, I hate fighting with her because, in her eyes, I'm always wrong. I mean, she starts to assume things and then when I tell her that that isn't true she get's even madder and saying "Well you said it once" or "Just drop it". It really really makes me mad. To everyone around me, my life is perfect. I get told I'm pretty and have the perfect body all the time, my family is "perfect", I'm not too popular, I have great friends...but no one sees behind the scenes. In reality, I'm really self-conscience and sad. When I'm around people, I'm the happy girl everyone thinks I am, but in my mind I'm sad. The fights take a toll on me. The way my friends treat me take a toll on me. I just don't know what to do. I really am happy on most aspects of my life, but I don't see why my mom has to fight with me. I don't think I deserve it. She doesn't know how it affects me and I'm not going to tell her 'cause then she'll get mad and say I'm selfish and think I'm always right, which I know I'm not. She's really cool a lot of the time but now we fight more and more and it's really starting to bother me. What can I do to help myself be happy and not let the fights get to me so much? What can I do when we fight? I want to be happy but these fights hurt.
Please help. Usually I give good advice to other people, but I don't know what to do.
-K-
i think what you should do first is talk to the people you love. they'll understand. definately talk to your mom first. maybe if you let your friends in a bit they can help you. there's nothing wrong with telling people how you feel. to become happier its up to you. do whatever makes you happy. maybe hanging out with friends, try hanging out with your mom more, shopping, eating icecream, etc.
good luck!
well...okay. One time i talked to this guy that i had never met b4, and he was pretty cool. and the more we started talking the more i liked him. And one of the things we talked about was his GF had broken up with him. And i thought well...maybe we could online date...after we get to know each other...and now i talked to him agian yesterday and he said hes found a new gf. and shes awesome and tall and stuff. And my ? is...should i still try to flirt with him and stuff to get him to like me? or stay there as a friend? or what??i REALLY like him too!!! HELP!
i wouldnt push anything on him, because that could push him away. i dont think you'd like it if your boyfriend had some girl flirting with him. juss let him know how you feel and let it go. only do that when hes single. dont totally give up but dont flirt with him. juss wait it out.
good luck!
heyy ya well im f/14 n wight about 112, i dont think im fat or nun like dat but i would like to tighten my stomach. i would love to have a lil six pack or sum like it hehe. well what can i do and about how long will it take?
itll prob take a few weeks, but eat healthy, and watch what you eat. no sodas er anything. try about 100 light crunches a day.
good luck!
