I'm trying to figure out if Ozzfest concerts are similar to Jimmy Buffett concerts at the Tweeter Center.
Will the concert goers be able to party, B-B-Q, drink, etc. in the parking lot before the show ? (link)
|
Try calling this number for Tweeter Centre admin Telephone: 508-339-2331 or e-mail customer relations at this address
Email: tweeterguestservices@livenation.com
They should be able to tell you the parking lot policy regarding tail-gate parties etc. As for drinks they have a policy about that if you hit info and then policies at www.tweetercentre.com
The staff will know everything about how the Ozzfest events are unfolding and certain things like that. The promotor of the event is Live Nation as no doubt you'll need that info too for them to help you at the number above.

I haven't been having much more then one meal a day lately, simple because I haven't been very hungry. Well, now I've noticed when I actually eat a real meal, I get really sick. I get a stomach ache with horrible dirreah. What should I do? (link)
|
Go to an emergency room and get yourself checked out. The doctors will figure out why you cannot eat and why if you eat you have the runs and puke etc. You run the risk of becoming totally dehydrated or worse if you don't.
I've been in your shoes. They'll likely prescribe you an antacide or a drug like ranitadine to help you keep things in, give you an IV of fluids, gravol like they did for me in the same scenario and keep you for observation.
I cannot diagnose you and nobody here can or should even try or suggest something. However, I do know this kind of issue can be serious especially if it's ulcers or a galbladder issue which it can be that is causing this. That was my case though. You're different.
Bottom line if you cannot eat and just vomit everything and have the runs all the time you need medical attention from an emergency room asap.

this sounds stupid but if you have sexual intercourse (like the penis going into the vagina even a little bit) but the guy doesn't finish, are you considered a virgin? like if you were one before. (link)
|
Intercourse is considered to be penis in the vagina. It doesn't matter if his penis was in only a tiny bit or that he didn't finish you're not a virgin by the textbook definition.
|
maybe this is anodd question, but anyways... my boyfriend and i are verymuch sexualy active. and he is always asking if i would bewilling to give him head... i personaly think its nasty, but i do love him a lot, and i like making him happy, and i know that wouldmake himhappy.. i havedone it before.. but im not exactly sure how to do it, like do it well.... how do you do it,how do you do it well and so he will really enjoy it??
(link)
|
If you feel something is vile and you don't like it or want to do it than don't. Never do anything especially of a sexual nature with anyone to make them happy or to show you love them etc. You might regret it.
Tell him that it's nothing to do with him but that you find the idea of oral sex rather nasty. Be honest about it if that's how you truly feel. He will understand and if he doesn't well... you may be with the wrong guy.
The thing is if you want to do this and certain things about it disgust you flavored condoms are an option. We cannot give you any how-to advice etc here for good reason--it gets people banned.
However, I will say that he's the expert on his penis and what he sexually responds to or likes. Ask him about it and let him guide you along.

i NEED to go to this concert on oct 23 that is on tuesday a school day of course
it is by my favorite band in the whole world and i haven't been to a concert yet so i dunno how i can convince my parents to let me go it is by 7:30 and ends by like 10 nish i think the place is only 6.90 miles away and takes approx 20 min to get there (i mapquest the location) it is downtown baltimore
and the tickets are only 20 bux
just so u know the band is The Academy Is... the Sleeping with Giants Tour!
i am 14 and rele need advice (link)
|
Have you ever been anywhere downtown on your own or with a friend? This is likely the sticking point with your parents and not it being a Tuesday all that much.
Unless you know the subway system and have streetsmarts being alone downtown after or before a concert at age 14 especially if female is a concern.
Some venues actually have lounges for parents to stay in during the concert. I would look in to that if the band is playing for a teen audience and not an adult one to see if the arena is doing that for parents and just seating the teens in the arena.
The tickets are $20 right? Why not have a friend who wants to go approach your parents and offer to buy tickets for you as well so you'll be with people you know and have a ride to and from?
If it's from 7:30-10:30 that's fine or should be if it's 20 minutes away and you can always do your homework from 4 until the time you leave.
I would talk to your parents but see if friends are planning to go so you can sit with them and be driven home or ask one of your parents or someone older ie a brother/sister/cousin relative to go and be responsible for you.

ve been on a few roller coasters in my life, and other rides too like the tornado ,the swings all kinds of thing.. mostly when i was little. Everytime i went on any ride i HATED it. so i havent really been on anything since then and now im 16. Ive still been terrified and i couldnt remember why i was, so just recently my friends convinced me to go on the fribeee.. this was my first time on it. I went on it and i remembered the feelings i get and why ihate it.. It really upsets me because if i could have one wish right now it would be to love rollercoasters.. people look like they have so much fun and i want to be apart of that fun. When i go on them i get those butterflys but i love butterfly feelings dont get me wrong but i get them so much that i cant take it.. and then my legs start to shake uncontrollably and i feel stiff.. and mostly i just feel like i completely lost control of myself.. usually when im on i wish i could stop the ride.ive even tried screaming but nothing.. HELP (link)
|
The fact is your friends and or parents have always put you on rides THEY like or chose.
They may feel comfortable with certain coasters or rides that you don't because of having been on them so many times in the past and forgetting any negative experiences.
What you should do at any amusement park you are going to is to look at the park map. On it all the rides ought to be listed (unless this is a fair) with information on how tough the ride is or not.
When it comes to coasters you want to get on the wooden track ones first before doing others. Why? This helps you get used to the speed and the bumps and the knocks.
Then try the wooden log coaster that most parks have where it goes up and splashes down hard into water. Then try steel coasters with only 2 loops as you can then build up to 6 loops and scarier stuff for you.
Definitely check out a park map or even website for the amusement park you are going and use it's rating system from 1-5 usually of how tough a ride it is and actually watch people on it to see what it does.
As far as butterflys, a little bit of fear that's expected but not the type you describe. Tell you what, if you tell me what amusement park you go to I can then bring up the web site and see what rides (as I'm a junkie) might be good for those scared of certain things to do first before moving up to bigger things.

like you know those babies on sesame street, well actually in elmo's world, that just sit in the chair and say nothing while elmo tickles them or something? assuming they still make new episodes, how can i get my baby brother on the show? hes 2 years old turning 3 in 2 months so i dunno if he can do that.. or is there any other way he can be on the show? thanks! (link)
|
Your brother needs an agent to be booked to work on any show or movie. Tell them that you are interested in having him appear on an Elmo's World episode and they should know who to call. Sesame Street and Elmo's World are both taped in New York, NY.
You might also care to call or write the Jim Henson Company which produces Sesame Street and Elmo's World about how to have your agent approach them about said segments.

I'm trying to come up with as many creative reasons I love my girlfriend and I need ideas please. I'm trying to come up with 365 reasons I love her. Our 2 year anniversary is coming up and I thought that I'd make a cute little book with 365 reasons why I love her. I know this is something personal and I obviously know why I love her, but I just thought some cute creative ideas from someone else would be nice too. But please help me out and share your stories. Please be creative in your answers and give it some thought. I'm already to 240, so I only need about 125 more to go. Haha.
ps.
i'm a girl, and im 16
if that helps anyyy
pleasee & thankyou (: (link)
|
You have a great idea with said book and a list of reasons why you love her. Let's expand on it. Instead of all the reasons you should design 365 coupons andd put it in a booklet.
The person would then redeem them for cuddling, massage, dinner and other romantic or special things you can come up with and also list reasons you love her on each coupon. She'll remember this more as for each of the days in the year she can randomly redeem any coupon in the booklet when she sees fit.
You might want to make the coupon book and instead of listing all these reasons right a heartfelt poem, letter etc. about why you love her and put that in. That is more meaningful than lists of reasons. Make it personal rather than impersonal.

I've already asked a question on this but this a bit different..
In a week from today I'm meeting 3 guys I basically WORSHIP at a meet and greet. I have no idea how I'll react but knowing me I'll freeze up, be barely able to talk and then walk away thinking 'DAMN! I WISH I HAD SAID BLAH BLAH BLAH'
I even want to work up enough courage to ask them if they would let me take a photo with one of them.
What are ways I can stop myself from freezing up, stuttering and just being so scared of making a fool of myself I'm already doing it by trying to avoid it? (link)
|
If it is a meet and greet the standard proceedure is that a line is formed with all the fans ad that they sit down for autographs and pose for pictures. In a scenario like that limit yourself to "I hope you are enjoying yourselves in our city. I'm glad you chose to play here."
Get your photo, article signed and you'll look fine. You seldom get a chance to say/do much else at a meet and greet if you can even get close to them because it's always a timed event.
If it's a backstage meet and greet than it's a lot different. The general rule (I've done a lot of theatre) is that anything told to you during a meet and greet or backstage is private.
You should ask them about what they've been doing in town or while offstage, their interests, new projects etc. Don't produce anything to sign or gush about them or their music as everyone does that.
The celebs I've met backstage have always told me more and spent more time with me if they were treated like normal people. They'll likely give you an autograph anyway and offer it first.
As far as a photo goes tell them "You must get sick of doing this but would you mind posing for a picture. It would mean a lot when I look back on this moment."
That should work. I've met a lot of musicians, actors and worked for a bit in a theatre and always noticed how people reacted to their fans at such functions.
They were more apt to brush someone off completely after the "I love your...." type questions and "Would mind signing this" and go back to what they were doing.

Last night I attended a local theatrical production and encountered a first-time situation for which no one had a solution.
The problem is that this is an intimate theatre with only about 60 seats: no one would be further from the stage, or any other patron, than about 25 feet.
One of the patrons had an incredibly strong odor about her person. This was not just one's run-of-the-mill body, tobacco, or food odor, but was
akin to a mix of human body odor, skunk, stockyard, and cat urine. The odor was overwhelming to the entire theatre, there was no safe haven.
No one wanted to be seated anywhere near this patron. The cast as well as everyone in the audience (except the offender) was visibly irritated and suffering.
Is there any proper way to address this situation? As a patron should I have made a comment? Should the management of the theatre have taken any action?
What could be done in the future if this patron returns?
Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely,
(contact info removed, please don't identify yourself in questions.) (link)
|
I know that certain airlines have a policy about offensive body odor and actually do pull people off the plane for it if there is complaints and concern it will offend or cause discomfort to others.
There's an A&E show called Airline where this happened and showed someone where they could bathe and even handed out free clothing and booked them on another flight afterwards. They always took the person aside privately.
When it comes to theater the general manager or FOH that evening could approach the person privately and tell them the same thing, offer a refund and tell them that numerous patrons and members of the cast expressed concern over it.
If it happened again you could deny entry with no further explanation. The back of most tickets in theaters or arenas tells them the management can refuse entry for any reason or with no explanation if they feel the patron's conduct etc. could affect other's enjoyments or if it affected operation of the show or safety of others.
Print this on fliers, posters, (should be on back of tickets already if not have it added) and you should be covered. As long as that's written somewhere or the policy of the theater already nobody can say/do anything as far as I have learned and know of.
The only time I know you can get yourself in trouble is if it was proven you turned someone away because of race, ethnicity, size, orientation etc etc. Correct me please on that last one if any of that is incorrect.

why do they explain sex to little kids as 'birds and the bees' it just doesnt make any since... (link)
|
Great question. I have a feeling that the terminology is derived from the fact that birds and bees are both involved in pollination so somebody took that metaphor and ran with it. It's also a term meant for "everything reproduces" including some plants etc.
Some people just use this whole metaphor and others like it to dumb down certain things for younger ears when they feel a kid isn't ready for certain details. That's my educated guess.
I would be interested (I tried to) if anyone does find the first usuage of the term as it relates to sex to see if I was close in hazarding the guess.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mum and she's not a bad parent but...
Well it's just us, and she has barely any friends and no one to vent out anger onto. So when she's feeling angry (Which isn't very often don't worry) she vents it all onto me. She'll yell at me for the littliest things, ground me and send me to my room. If I try to defend myself...she hits me.
She's been angry lately and I'm scared she'll hit me. She's been saying threats like one day she'll grab ahold of my throat and won't stop until I pass out and I'm getting scared to just do anything. I get really apologetic and apologize for the littliest things.
I can't talk her out of it because any word that comes out of my mouth she yells at me and gets even angrier. She seems to think that because she's the adult and I'm the child I don't get an opinion or the right to say something.
What do I do? When I tell my dad he thinks I'm just saying it because Mum and I are in a fight. I don't trust teachers or councillors and I don't want my mum to get into trouble. (link)
|
Unless this is a swat on the behind to keep you in line (which it certainly isn't) no parent by law can hit or abuse a child or threaten them like she has with the comment on choking the life out of you. It's a verbally, mentally and physically abusive situation and she can get in a lot of trouble for this.
You ought to talk to your father and tell him what she has been saying and doing to you. Explain it all and hold nothing back and illustrate exactly the difference between normal arguments versus the abuse. Document it on paper (dates/times/scenario/reasons for) and keep that as evidence to back up your case.
If dad won't listen approach other relatives, ministers, friends parents, grandparents etc. with the allegations until somebody takes you seriously and gets your mother and yourself the proper help from mental health personnel and the proper authorities.
Don't sit on this. I KNOW you don't like teachers, prinicpals, guidance counselors or trust them as far as you can fling them. All kids hold this belief. However, these people truly aren't out to get anybody. They will listen and you need to tell them what is going on as they could be your only defence or life line.
What if mom got in a rage and did in fact choke you or cause you to pass out and or expire? Nobody ever said soing the right thing and telling people was easy.
It needs to be done for your safety and to improve your life and help your mother eventually learn to be a loving parent and see what she is doing is harmful. The authorities will start the ball rolling on that.

ok 15/f..if that helps. im not a slut ((for lack of a better word)) right now, but i kinda want to have a slut reputation. I know that sounds totally bad but I kind of do. I don't mind being called a slut or being known as one either, is that bad? or what? (link)
|
To want to viewed as promiscuous and having multiple relationships at once with a lot of random people is nothing healthy to want to aspire to. The term slut (see Webster's Dictionary) is also a term for prostitute.
Why in the world would you ever want to be viewed as being on par with one or called one? It isn't logical. It's not healthy for you mentally to even be thinking these thoughts. If you want to aspire to be something or be viewed as something by others do something good for that attention and not resort to acting out this idea or fantasy.
I could understand the curiosity about what that lifestyle is like but not as something to aspire to, want to be, fantacize about. Girls who are called sluts or are sluts have a multitude of problems so don't follow their lead.
No offense, but I think you ought to discuss this kind of thinking with a psychologist or liscensed therapist to see where this idea and desire to be viewed as a slut or have the reputation as one comes from or what greater meaning it may or may not have in terms of how you view yourself and or sexuality.
I'm saying this having met a lot of people with mental health issues and thoughts that you are thinking and expressing here as it's just not healthy thinking.

My boyfriend keeps having dreams of me cheating on him and I haven't and I told him I never will and I won't
but I heard dreams can be the opposite of what they are
I just want to know why hes having these cause its confusing
He gets them like a whole lot
one time he had it 5 times in a row. (link)
|
Whenever someone has a discussion with me that leads to the topic of dreams I like to point the following out. Dreams are thought pictures based on fears, happiness, what we want to achieve.
Its all based on your thinking as your brain never shuts off so wen you dream you have dreams of whatever has been at the core of your thinking all day while you sleep. He's experiencing this because he has a deep rooted fear you'll cheat and won't let go of it.
You need to tell him firmly you would never cheat and even if you wanted to (which you don't) you would have moved passed him long ago. Reiterate how important he is to you and talk about your relationship.
If he cannot see this than maybe you should move on as he will drive you nuts over his insecurities. You both need to talk and find out where this junk started with him or if someone cheated on him before. You have to work through it as these dreams, thoughts, fears he's voicing need to be dealt with.
This isn't a weird situation but it's not a typical or normal one to deal with. Once you've started talking about your relationship everything should be fine and he'll let go of this insecurity.

i'm a 15 year old girl and i've recently had sex. i still care about the boy i did it with. in fact i think i love him. he's still there for me, all sex has done is make us closer than ever, but it's driving me nuts cause i can;t tell my mom. i want to, we used to be really close, and this is a huge thing, but she would be furious, and i don't think i'd ever see my boyfriend again and i couldn't live with that. what do i do? (link)

You can always tell your parents about anything including sexual activity. They might not be happy about it at first but most parents would rather be in the know than have their teens sneaking around and or getting pregnant accidentally.
This way she will be in the know and can ensure you get on a good form of birth control plus condoms to be safe. She would be happier knowing this and getting you birth control and keeping you safe than you possibly becoming pregnant.
As hard as it may be to tell her you should. That's why your gut is nagging you about this. You have to remember that she was your age once and likely had sex at your age or a bit older. She has a lot of wisdom she can impart to keep you safe and from making blunders.
Talk to her and tell her this and that you want to work on your relationship as you want to be close like you were when you were younger and not be holding on to secrets.

is there a website that has fanmail addresses for famous people? aka actors, singers, bands, ect..thanksss (link)
|
You will want to read about Studio Fan Mail. It is the service that a lot of famous people use to send out autographed photos. These photos contain a pre-printed signature on them. Do not send fan mail, items to be signed etc. to Studio Fan Mail as all they can send you are the same pre-prints their celebrity clients pay to have sent out for them.
Here's a link with info on how to use Studio Fan Mail and which celebs send photos through them http://www.star-collector.net/studio.htm

After many people have told me that I should keep doing what I am doing, (posing as a 13 year old girl on chat sites, tracking and logging potential sexual predators), I have decided to keep doing it.
I even started a website about it, and I modeled it after, perverted-justice.com. On my site, I show the chat conversations and I give the predator's MSN screen name.
Some people have told me it's wrong to give out these people's MSN addresses. Someone even said I could get into a lot of trouble, or arrested for it. But shouldn't I be allowed to put potential predator's screen names up to warn people? They're the ones that started talking to an alleged 13 year old. What do you think? (link)
|
You can get in a lot of trouble for posting people's e-mail addresses, home addresses or anything that identifies who they are and or calls/implies they are a sexual predator or anything negative that could damage their reputation or cause havoc with their lives.
If it turned out they did nothing wrong or anything they could be charged for you could be sued for slandering them or even harassment.
Instead of posting e-mail addresses and names of suspected child predators let the professionals do their jobs and make an arrest or file charges by anonyymously handing information to the proper authorities.
Sites such as Preverted Justice and television networks like NBC and Chris Hanson's reporters on "Dateline NBC" all know to let the police do their work and do not act alone. They're always doing it with the knowledge and participation of the police as is AMW.
While you want to help the best thing to do is dismantle your web site. Be who you really are on the Internet and lurk in chatrooms and take details down if you think someone went over the line and is targetting kids. Give the info to the pros.
This is all best left to the cops to handle. If you see something suspect get in contact with them but to put up a web site and try to get justice in the manner you mention is asking for legal and other trouble for you and your family.

She made her last television interview the day before she died, and I missed it. Where can I watch or at least read her interview with Larry King on CNN?
P.S, dont suggest youtube unless the sound works, I just tried it today (link)

It's on CNN right now (9 p.m. EST) and will repeat at midnight EST tonight. For more info cnn.com/larryking

i stepped on a toothpick ,I know sound pathetic... but it got stuck in my foot about a quarter of an inch. my man took it out and there were no splinters left in my foots (it came out clean) but my foot did bleed for a few minutes. not like flowing blood but it did bleed pretty good for a few minutes. now it kind hurts (it was on the ball of my foot) and it hurts to stand on it and every now and again i will feel pain in my middle two toes? why is that?
also...my boss told me i need a tetnus shot and my teacher told me she doesnt think i do b/c it wasnt a rusty nail. My boss said any puncture wound. who is right? (link)
|
Here's an FAQ on tetnus shots http://home.wsd.wednet.edu/health/faqtd.htm You don't NEED one but that's the recommendation of your boss to stay safe but your teacher would seem to be correct as people only need them every ten years.
In my view unless you stepped on a rusted nail you should be fine with the toothpick problem. It hurts still because it hasn't healed. I'm not sure why your front two toes hurt though.
It's likely nothing or it could be that you are applying more pressure than usual on them to avoid standing on the ball of your foot when walking. Just a hunch.
If you're walking on your toes rather than your heel and whole foot that could be a reason. Check the FAQ out and then make a decision as I doubt you need it based on what I know.

when guys finger you or have sex with you do they hate it when your down there is hairy or do they not care? (link)
|
It depends on the guy. Both shaved and natural with pubic hair is fine. It's all about your own preference when it comes to that. Mature males know that pubic hair is normal, not gross at all and that shaving is fine too.
If a guy ever gave you grief over you keeping your pubic hair and never shaving down there than he's not the one to be given access to your genitals again. Kick any shallow type like that to the curb as all males who are mature are comfortable with both. Each guy has a preference but should be able to handle both.
