Hello! I just move to a neighborhood and there are 3 little girls that constantly knock on my door and ask for food, band aids for boo boos, and to use the bathroom. We caught the smallest one in our car in the driveway trying to steal some candy and change out of it. She is about 5. My son gave one of them a bowl of applesauce and all 3 took turns taking bites. they did the same with some chocolate milk minutes later. They are outside and dirty from 8 am to 9pm on weekends and after school til dark. I asked the one girl why she couldnt go potty at her house and she said mommy wont let us in. After the little on stole from us I dont want to let her in though. She has been caught going in our garage and walks in our home without permission constantly. Please give me advice. This reminds me of my alcoholic mother when I was young. They are a family of 7 in a tiny 2br home. I have 3 of my own and cant care for them. What do I do?? thanks guys! (link)
first of all, CALL THE POLICE. if those children are being forced to stay outside and aren't getting enough food, this is neglegence as a parent and there could be something terribly wrong at the house. call the police and have them send someone over to check out the house.

second, always lock your car and house doors and windows so they can't steal, but if they need something, by all means, help them out. if they need to use the restroom, keep a close eye on them while they're in your house, and try to give them some food every now and again.

if you don't feel that calling the cops is good judgment, or that you could be wrong about your theory on why those kids are the way they are, go talk to their mother. if she seems like a bad mother on first impression and won't listen to you, THEN call the cops. they'll send a social worker over there and try to fix the problem or put the kids in a foster home. this will probably traumatize them, yes, but its better than being in a corrupt household.

good luck.


Iv'e noticed whenever i'm showering and shaving my legs i get dizzy and my body starts to sway back and forth like i'm going to faint..i become light headed i usually eat before i shower so i don't go into the shower on a empty stomach when this happens i get worried cause there's a possiblity i could faint while showering...

Why is this happening to me? Should i
tell my parents and my doctor? What can
i do so this doesn't happen anymore?

I know that most of you aren't doctors
but any advice would be helpful... (link)
if you stand up and bend over while shaving, it could be because your brain isn't getting enough blood flow from the awkward position your body is in. try to shave while sitting down, or prop your leg up on something. it may help.

take care


please some one tell me how to give a jickie my girl wants one but i dont no how (link)
you suck and kiss her neck, not too soft but not too hard, just enough so it will leave a red/purple bruise looking thing. every now and again, lightly bite her. its teasing but it feels good to girls. where i would suggest you do it is under her ear, under the jawbone. thats most girls' weak spot.


do u noe anything on baby sitting (link)
first off, depending on the age, you have to have patience. and a lot of it. usually, if its a baby or toddler you're taking care of, you wont need as much. but the older the child gets, the more annoying they get. second, keep them occupied 24/7 and out of your hair. put a movie in, or let them watch TV. if they're hyperactive and wont stop making noise, take them outside to blow off some excess energy. race them, throw a ball with them, and then give them a snack and then try the movie thing.

above all, be firm but fair. don't be too laid back, and don't be too harsh. if you're harsh, the child will hate you and tell their parents how mean you were. if you're too laid back, they'll take advantage of you. you have to find that solid, middle ground that is comfortable for both you and the kid you're watching.

good luck. :)


Who's better?
Britney or Christina (link)
in my opinion, britney. i was never really a fan of hers, but ever since her breakdown she's been trying really hard to get back on her feet, and i think that takes a lot of guts.


Is it safe to have sex in a spa? Can the water cause infections? Is there a greater chance the condom will break?
(link)
it might help with lubrication, it could cause bacteria to form in the genital area for both you and your partner, but i'm not sure about the condom breaking.

if i were you, i'd just do it in a bed :) take care, and stay safe.


There's this store that my mom always goes to. And I would describe my mom as a kids but not really; she asks so many questions and stuff that some people may get really annoyed, but it's part of the job right?

So at this store there's a make up section and she wanted to return stuff and the usual lady that works there didn't allow her to and my mom said that she didn't use any of it and the lady called my mother a LIAR and she seems pretty bothered by it and now I'm bothered by it. So in the end SHE apologized saying that she'll keep it and left! Unbelievable that she got..abused? and apologized!

Can there be something done about the lady or is it freedom...of speech? I just think that that's rude and while lots of jobs have rude workers, this is a store that many older adults go to and workers should be mature and patient too. And if the lady was like this to my mother, imagine how much worse she could be with someone else! (link)
go to the manager of that store and file a harrassment report. freedom of speech or not, that lady has no legal right to call one of her customers a liar, since she doesn't know your mother or know how she used the products she bought there. the manager will deal with punshing this woman, and he may even give your mother a refund, i'm not sure. but no, its not right and it is very rude. do what i said, and she'll be put to justice.

take care :) and its very nice of you to look out for your mother.


I got high... I know, stupid. My eyes were so red I thought I was going to go blind or something. So, why does marijuana make your eyes red? Does anyone know? (link)
it has something to do with some chemical in your brain. when you smoke weed, your brain releases euphorin, or "happy juice", which is the chemical that makes you happy. it releases a lot more of it when you're high, which in turn dehydrates your eyes. therefore, they turn red.

if you don't want them to be so red, try some eyedrops. visene works really well.

take care :)


I haven't had sex and im 15... Am I a freak? Cause it seems like all my friends are talking about having sex and I don't even WANT to until I am married.

(link)
you're actually not alone. i go to a public school and i talk to a bunch of kids there who have purity rings and want to wait until they're much older or married. the thing is, its illegal to have sex unless you're 16. why? i'm not sure. but you should stick to what you believe is right, don't follow your friend's ways if you don't feel right about it.

take care :)


Hello i have a big issue with my husband watching porn. I feel like im not good enough for him. He promised me up and down that he hasnt watched it since the last time i told him how much i disliked it. I recently just found out that he's been watching it this whole time and now i feel like i cant believe him. He's in the army and he wont be home for 3 months. I know its not a big deal to alot of people but for me it is and promises mean alot to us. I'm just so devastated that he lied to me.. What should i do? (link)
first of all, it was wrong for him to lie. you can hold him at fault for that however long you like, its your business.

but one thing you need to understand about men, especially since you're married, is that men get bored easily. he still loves you and i'm sure he finds you very appealing, but men like a little bit of flare, thats where role-playing comes in. i'm not saying you should do that, but try to be a little bit more understanding of what he's going through; he's in the army and he's away from you. he is also evidently not able to have sex. porn may be his only option out there. 3 months is a long time.

what i would do if i were you, is when he comes back, try to sprucen up what you do in the bedroom. maybe try some new things in the sack, or wear some new lingerie. turn on some nice music, light a few candles. make sure he's pleased. he'll really appreciate it, and on top of that, he'll be more attracted to you then ever before.

porn is not really a bad thing until he's watching it more than he pays attention to you, which i don't believe you're at that stage yet. but if you are, get on your computer and block all those sites. you can find out how to do that on a "how to" website. or if he rents videos, try to find them and return them asap.

another thing i should tell you, is that since he cares about your emotions, he probably didnt tell you he was watching this stuff because he wanted to avoid a conflict. but you should have a serious discussion with him about this, it could turn into more than a habit. try out a few of the things i mentioned and see if it helps. :)

take care!


could i get pregnant if i suck a dick? (link)
no, you couldn't. but you could be prone to certain types of STDs, especially if you swallow.

hope i helped. :)




I went to the gynecologist and took a pregnancy test, However I had sex the day before I took the test...I was wondering if I took a pee test if it would still give the accurate answer? Or would the results take longer than just a day..? (She told me it was negative) Today is the 4th of May and I still haven't got my period yet but the doctor also told me it could be because I am overweight...but the thing that concerns me is I never ever had an issue with my period being delayed except for one time and that is when I had birth control removed.

(link)
first response is the most accurate pregnancy test. you can take it 6 days before your missed period. however, since you had sex just a few days before your period, i don't think it would be very accurate. if i were you, just wait about 2-3 more weeks, and if you still haven't gotten your period, take 3 tests this time. and since you haven't ever been late due to your weight, it may also be because you're stressing about the possibility of being pregnant, or because you are, in fact, pregnant. again, wait 2-3 weeks and then take 3 tests to be sure.

take care :)


okay so i am really weird i guess because i only like having sex with my boyfriend when i am on top. he wants to be on top every once in a while...but it just feels so uncomfortable....

any tips?? (link)
alternate positions. makes things more interesting ;) you be on top for a little while, let him be on top for a little while, etc. or maybe try some newer positions. none come to my mind at the time, but alternating keeps the sex interesting and less....boring i guess? anyways, have fun and stay safe.

I've known my "sometimes friend, Tiffany" since 7th grade. I'm now 24, our friendship has been on and off throughout the years. But we have never had a "falling out" and just stopped talking, changes of locations and lost of phone numbers, different directions in life, ect were generally the reasons for our lack of keeping in touch. But if we did happen to run into one another or what have you, it was like we never were apart.

In March or April of 2008, I had come across her myspace page and emailed her, we started talking and hanging out pretty regular.
She had a little boy and was coming out of a really bad abusive relationship with the father of her son, and having problems finically and finding a babysitter, ect. So I stepped in a helped her as much as I could; I would watch her son-pay free, gave her money if she really needed it-never expecting to be paid back, let her use my apartment if she needed a place to get away from it all.
Would pick up the tab if we went out or had dranks. . (I know how this sounds, but no, this was not a lesbian relationship of any kind! This is just my personality and I have been very fortunate to have had a wonderful career in the Marine Corp, so when I can help someone, I like to go above and beyond and I know I appreciate a friend like that. So I helped her when I could.)

Anyway, off the bat I noticed that she was a big time slut and it always bothered me that she "needed" a man to feel complete.
Also, she's one of those people who, when they get a little male attention her (friends) take a backseat.
EVERYTIME.
I use to feel like that so I understood and I thought I could help her get some that self esteem back.
However, recently, like the last year or so, its become a concern of mine for her son's welfare.
Not only dose she sleep around who whomever is around, she moves them in ASAP with her and her child.
Tiffany has had between 5-7 live in "boyfriends" aka scum bags who sponge off her for a little while then move on. And countless other males that will "stay" with her from time to time and who she lets watch her son.
She obviously dose not know these people.
I don't have any kids, but I would think that your child comes above everything else and their safety should be number one.
(If her son wasn't a factor, I would have said goodbye to her a long time ago. She lacks in values and morals and is not someone I want as a friend. Its always all about her and no one else matters.
I'm not attached to her son or anything, but its still not right.)

Just recently, she met a guy where ever and two days later he was living with her, needless to say that lasted maybe a month or two.
He (not surprising) was cheating on her, he "broke up" with her and now, she's found someone else to replace him. Its a pathetic, unsafe cycle that she dose not acknowledge or even think its a problem.
Which is beyond fusterating!!

Back to her little boy, I'm scared that something is going to happen to him.
My mother was also a young mom, who always had a new face around my brother and I. And unfortunately I was molested by a few of her "boyfriends". I grew up angry, confused, very untrustful of men and resentful of my mom, who still dose not know.
I do not want anything to happen to her son. All because of her selfish wants and low self esteem and worth.

If I bring it up, Tiffany and I always get into an arguement where she physically wants to hurt me.
Whether she and I have a friendship or not, is no longer my concern, I want to know if I should just mind my own business-bc she dosent get it or what can I do to keep him safe, if anything????

(link)
if she won't listen, make her listen. tell her your story and how it affected you. tell her that even though her son is not a little girl, the same thing could happen to him because the world is full of sick "scum-bags". if she still refuses to listen, what i would do if i were you is try to let the boy stay with you as much as possible. maybe let him sleep over sometimes, take him to school, just as long as it doesnt interfere with you and your daily life, because clearly, he isn't your problem to deal with. just when its convenient for you and your family.

but if you're still in a tough spot and tiffany gets upset because of all the time you spend with her son, call a social worker. tell him whats happening at the house and explain the living conditions of this child. he can help get the kid a better home or knock some sense into your friend.

thats all you can do. nothing more, i'm sorry. if you've tried everything you can and nothing seems to work, then just walk away. as i said, this kid is not yours. he's not your problem. tiffany isn't your responsibility. maybe once you're not around to help her everytime she needs something, she'll realize that she needs to stop these teenage ways and grow up.


Do i moan when my boyfriend fingers me? (link)
if you feel like moaning, then moan. if you don't then don't. :)


I feel like all the nicknames for my boyfriend are too common and so I thought I wouldask you if anybody could help me with a list of cute names to call your boyfriend? No matter whether it's one name or 100 I thank you for helping me! Thank you (link)
i don't really understand the whole "petname" thing. whats wrong with the names our parents picked for us?

anyways, off topic, you should find something attractive about your boyfriend that you like. guys usually like it if you call them "daddy" or some shit, because it makes them feel like an alpha male. but going on about the attractive thing, heres an example: my boyfriend has really pale, clear skin, so i call him dollface because he reminds me of a porcelain doll. or if he kisses you a lot, call him pucker. XD idk. just be creative with it. come up with a name of your own. don't rely on "baby" and "honey" or "sugar". those are all cliches and old and gross. does he hug you a lot? call him "teddy". is he always making jokes or laughing? call him "bobo" (as in bobo the clown) like i said, have fun with it and be creative.

orrrr....as an afterthought, you could call him by his own name :) that works everytime.


Okay, not sure if this is the wrong category....but what ever. So I'm 16 and he's...14? Yeah, we met...3 days ago? Wow, oh yeah by the way when I say met I mean, he added me on myspace 3 days ago.
So it goes down like this, I was bored and feeling lousy because of some stupid unrelated problems to this...and I get a random friend request from some guy. I accept and right after I accept I get a IM, we start talking about random stuff after we introduce ourselves, and then somehow we start talking about our past, we both had pretty crappy child hoods, blah. And we have this long constant conversation, he made me feel so comfortable and happy I started thinking wow, this guys really cool. Then I had to go after what...4 straight hours of talking to him through IM?! Geez anyways, right before I logged out I went to check his profile since I never got the chance to, and I see he put me on his top. I'm the second one? Already? Wow, the second day, I get home from school a bit excited to log in and hope he was on, why? I don't know...He IM's me, we chat things are going nice. Since him and I go to different campuses for school he asks me when he can visit, I asked him why'd he'd want to visit. He said to see what it's like. Hmmmm....I didn't believe that was the main reason then again...So well after our long convo' again, which I was feeling depressed he once again made me feel better and he's telling me to stay happy. Hm, I've come to find that I like him...alot. This has never happened usually it takes me a long time before I can like like someone and with him in just one day I started to develope feelings for him? Wtf?! Am I a weirdo? The other thing that bothers me is the age, I'm 16 he's 14...How could I like a 14 year old? Am I a pedo'...Gosh, He's not the best looking guy but I do like him alot, but I'm not sure if he likes me. Though I get the feeling, say...Intuition?
I'd like to bring up the idea of hanging out in person but...I don't know how. Or when, I'm also shy and concerned about rejection...I know this all seems so sudden only 3 days and I'm already frekin' out? Why?! I don't know!
I've only had 2 boyfriends, not because I'm ugly or anything and I'm not being conceded but there are always guys after me. I just don't listen to them because I'm not one to be from man to man and toss the word "love" around. Not saying that I love this kid. Just that I like him very much! :)
So yeah, I'm sorry if it's like very long...Thank you for any and all help! (link)
from what i've read, it doesnt sound like you like him. you like the attention he gives you. you mentioned you both had crappy childhoods and you had unrelated problems to these, and so you're excited that he's adding you and IMing you and putting you on his top. i dunno what his deal is, but if you really did like him, you wouldnt be asking why you do, because you'd know. and also, you wouldnt be so iffy about the age difference.

but if you really do like him, i say 3 days? so what? you think romeo and juliet started liking eachother after 18 years? nope. and age is but a number, girlie. i'm a junior and i've dated freshman thinking "screw you people who look down on me, i like this person and you can't break my vibe." dig?

anyways, take care.


I've been in a long distance relationship for 9 months. We're recently broken up, and I showed my boyfriend fake pictures, and only JUST showed him my actual self a few days ago. I was terrified to tell him, but he actually took it MUCH better than I thought he would. He was a little upset at what I did, but said he still loved me, and if I 'work with him a little bit' by showing him more pics of my real self & maybe getting a webcam, then we could get back together.

We both have strong feelings for eachother, & I (stupidly) ended the relationship because I knew I could never meet him since I sent fake pics. But now, he knows what I really look like, and accepted me, so a relationship is possible again.

This is my only problem. I've only showed him shoulders up pics of me. I'm not fat..but curvy. He's a tall, lanky guy, VERY skinny, he only weighs 120 lbs! But, I weigh more than that, & I'm scared to show him pics of my whole body. He's been asking for 'bikini'/full body pics & for me to get a webcam, but I honestly don't have any bikini pics, because I hate my body. I think it's too curvy, and it's my #1 insecurity.

Anyway, I do love him, & I realize if he can get over me faking pics, & he does like my face..then can my body really be a cause for him to stop loving me? I'm just scared he'll be unattracted to me, and won't want to tell me because he's too nice.

Basically what I'm asking is: 1. How should I go about showing him pics of my full body? Just send him a bunch then say I have to leave quickly? (I don't want to be there when he sees them, hahah) 2. Should I get a webcam if he accepts the pics the way they are? It's not really like I'd be showing my body on there anyway, he'd really only see my face. Thank you. (link)
you probably don't realize this, but guys thinks its waaay hot for a girl to have curves. really tiny, bony girls are a turn off because they have no curves and are flat on all ends (like myself). they also like for a girl to be open and outgoing about the way they look. so when you send him the pictures, work it! do some nice poses, wear you're favourite jeans or something to show off your legs, maybe do what he suggests and wear a bikini, something cool. this is a chance to get in touch with your body better. once you work at it and try to look nice in the pictures, you might notice "hey, some girls would KILL for boobs like these!" or "these jeans make my ass look awesome!" once he sees that you're comfortable AND pretty, he'll be so much more attracted to you. i promise, he'll like it better than any of those fake pictures you sent him. guys dont like fake chicks. all natural, beautiful women that just don't give a shit. :)

take care.


This has been a busy week for me and today I got ready to go for dinner, on the wrong day! I’m a hard working busy high school student and usually I turn down these things but I was like, “Hey why not! I’m anti-social and for once I’m going to give it a try.” But things didn’t turn out as planned and I couldn't get a drive home at all and spent like a long time getting dressed up! A nice lady working at the hotel offered to drive me home.

I was stressing for school and I have these entire deadline to meet this week and on the invite I thought it said today Tuesday but it's actually next week Tuesday and I just feel ashamed and embarrassed.

I'm forever thankful of the lady that offered to drive me home but I'll feel so embarrassed when i see her there again next week (she's a clerk). And I'm not letting my efforts today go to waste so I'll just re-wear the whole outfit next week.

But I've wasted 4 hours (almost 2 hours waiting outside for a ride in the cold) of my time when if it wasn't for my stupidity I could have gotten one of my projects completed! People make mistakes but, I just can’t seem to focus on anything because the only thing I keep hearing in my head is STUPID STUPID STUPID and I'm going to be haunted by it for a week and I just feel so humiliated! Is there anything at all that I can do to get away from this? It's so depressing. (link)
you need to learn to laugh at your own mistakes. call up the person you were supposed to meet, or mention it next week in a story: "yeah, so you wouldn't BELIEVE what i did last week! it was so dumb!" and just kinda laugh it off. yeah, people make mistakes. but the only reason you're so embarrassed is because you think this lady thinks its ridiculous. i promise you, she doesnt. she wouldnt have offered you a ride home if she didn't want you to feel any better. do what i said and just try to see the hilarity in it. i'm not saying its funny, because its not, but its the only way you'll be able to move on. poking fun at yourself helps other people know that you won't be kept down and you don't care what they think about you. its something that most of us wish we had, and we all could have it, but we're too busy worrying about the judgment of others.

just focus on whatever you're doing in school, and try to laugh it off. i did something like this yesterday and while my mom was yelling at me for being stupid, i was cracking up. :) you'll feel so much better, trust me.

take care.


Ok so a couple of months ago i was tryin to fix our cooker and when it was too late i was near enough engulfed in flames... Luckily i wasnt hurt or burned at all just my hair was a bit singed. My eyebrows were a bit burnt away and the hair on my arm was all gone pretty much. but thats all grown back now and normall. my eyelashes on the other hand! were burnt and kinda crispy so i usd to some toenail clippers and cut the singed stupid looking things off. my right eyelashes havee grown back to normall but my left eyelashs look wierd.
the left part of my eyelashes (furthest from my nose) have grown back normall. but the left half (closest to my nose) are still very short. Its not noticeable untill i point it out but its just a little wierd that they'v taken this long to grow nothing at all. Does any one know will they ever grow back? (link)
usually eye lashes take about 40 days-2 months to grow back. and if not, then go to the eye doctor and have them examined. they could probably give you a healthy growth formula that could help them grow back stronger and more natural looking. just keep to mascara for now, i'm sure you look fine :)
