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. [:

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

♥[?]♥ What is the best age for a girl and a guy to get married?

And what should be a good age difference?
This is an opinion question.


I think two people should wed when they'Re deeply in love with one anotheR.. AND.. when they feel the can handle it. Soooooo many things could get in the way oR cause it to be postponed [such as school, health issues, and so on], so it vaRies fRom case to case.


And I think the age diffeRence doesn't much matteR, as long as they aRe happie. Soo many people live theiR entiRe lives having neveR found tRue love, so I believe once you have found it, it should not be denied, peRiod.


♥[?]♥ ive got all these fruit flies. i think they've nested somewhere in my room! wat can i do?!? how can i get rid of them?!?!?

Have you tRied to uninstall it, and then reinstalling it??? I would think that would fix the pRoblem, but if not... go to:
- http://www.jayloden.com/aimfix.htm

That site will detect and Remove any viRus youR AIM might have. Simply visit the site, don't botheR to Read the cRap, just click DOWNLOAD. It will download in a few seconds... it's 100% FREE.. and it will NOT ask foR infoRmation of ANY kind.. and it does NOT download any of secRet, unwanted cRap oR spywaRe, I PROMISE!!!!!! Save it to youR Desktop, and once it's downloaded, SIGN OFF of AIM, and Run the pRogRam. It will take a few seconds, and then it will tell you if anything has been Removed.

If this doesn't fix youR pRoblem.. then I have noo idea. I *DO* wish you the best of luck though!! Hopefully this will fix youR pRoblem!! :D

COCAINE: A bitter, crystalline drug obtained from the dried leaves of the coca shrub; it is a local anesthetic and a dangerous, illegal stimulant; the primary psychoactive ingredient in the coca plant and a behavioral-affecting drug.



"What Are the Short-Term Effects of Cocaine Use?
Cocaine's effects appear almost immediately after a single dose, and disappear within a few minutes or hours. Taken in small amounts (up to 100 mg), cocaine usually makes the user feel euphoric, energetic, talkative, and mentally alert, especially to the sensations of sight, sound, and touch. It can also temporarily decrease the need for food and sleep. Some users find that the drug helps them to perform simple physical and intellectual tasks more quickly, while others can experience the opposite effect.





Short-Term Symptoms of Cocaine Use:
- increased energy.
- decreased appetite.
- HUGE weight loss in SHORT amount of time.
- mental aletness.
- increased heart rate.
- increased blood pressure.
- constricted blood vessel.
- increased temperature.
- dialated pupils.


The duration of cocaine's immediate euphoric effects depends upon the route of administration. The faster the absorption, the more intense the high. Also, the faster the absorption, the shorter the duration of action. The high from snorting is relatively slow in onset, and may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking may last 5 to 10 minutes
The short-term physiological effects of cocaine include constricted blood vessels; dilated pupils; and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Large amounts (several hundred milligrams or more) intensify the user's high, but may also lead to bizarre, erratic, and violent behavior. These users may experience tremors, vertigo, muscle twitches, paranoia, or, with repeated doses, a toxic reaction closely resembling amphetamine poisoning. Some users of cocaine report feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. In rare instances, sudden death can occur on the first use of cocaine or unexpectedly thereafter. Cocaine-related deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizures followed by respiratory arrest.



The Long-Term Effects of Cocaine Use
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive drug. Once having tried cocaine, an individual may have difficulty predicting or controlling the extent to which he or she will continue to use the drug. Cocaine's stimulant and addictive effects are thought to be primarily a result of its ability to inhibit the reabsorption of dopamine by nerve cells. Dopamine is released as part of the brain's reward system, and is either directly or indirectly involved in the addictive properties of every major drug of abuse.
Long-Term Symptoms of Cocaine
- Irritability
- Mood disturbances
- Restlessness
- Paranoia
- Auditory hallucinations
An appreciable tolerance to cocaine's high may develop, with many addicts reporting that they seek but fail to achieve as much pleasure as they did from their first experience. Some users will frequently increase their doses to intensify and prolong the euphoric effects. While tolerance to the high can occur, users can also become more sensitive (sensitization) to cocaine's anesthetic and convulsant effects, without increasing the dose taken. This increased sensitivity may explain some deaths occurring after apparently low doses of cocaine.




Use of cocaine in a binge, during which the drug is taken repeatedly and at increasingly high doses, leads to a state of increasing irritability, restlessness, and paranoia. This may result in a full-blown paranoid psychosis, in which the individual loses touch with reality and experiences auditory hallucinations.
What are the medical complications of cocaine abuse?
There are enormous medical complications associated with cocaine use. Some of the most frequent complications are cardiovascular effects, including disturbances in heart rhythm and heart attacks; such respiratory effects as chest pain and respiratory failure; neurological effects, including strokes, seizure, and headaches; and gastrointestinal complications, including abdominal pain and nausea.
Cocaine use has been linked to many types of heart disease. Cocaine has been found to trigger chaotic heart rhythms, called ventricular fibrillation; accelerate heartbeat and breathing; and increase blood pressure and body temperature. Physical symptoms may include chest pain, nausea, blurred vision, fever, muscle spasms, convulsions and coma.



Medical Consequences of Cocaine Abuse
- cardiovascular effects: disturbaances in the heart rythm
- neurological effects: stokes, seizures, and headaches.
- respiratory effects: chest pains, heart failure.
- gastrointestinal effects: adominal pain, nausea.



Different routes of cocaine administration can produce different adverse effects. Regularly snorting cocaine, for example, can lead to loss of sense of smell, nosebleeds, problems with swallowing, hoarseness, and an overall irritation of the nasal septum, which can lead to a chronically inflamed, runny nose. Ingested cocaine can cause severe bowel gangrene, due to reduced blood flow. And, persons who inject cocaine have puncture marks and "tracks," most commonly in their forearms. Intravenous cocaine users may also experience an allergic reaction, either to the drug, or to some additive in street cocaine, which can result, in severe cases, in death. Because cocaine has a tendency to decrease food intake, many chronic cocaine users lose their appetites and can experience significant weight loss and malnourishment."

"GiRl Talk" is basically like 'TRuth OR DaRe'. You just do silly things foR points; like dancing with a bRoom... pushing a dime acRoss the flooR with youR nose... and so on and so foRth. It's PERFECT foR sleep oveRs. :D

♥[?]♥ i've liked this boy since i was five, and now i am 15. but the problem is that the boy duznt even noe im alive. im right under his nose but he haznt even realized. i dont noe wat do anymore. i cry every night b/c ive tried everything i could think of. its kinda like he's that guy that all the grlz like but he duznt understand that im not like those other grlz. i am actually the one that really cares. ive been in a corner since i was five watching him and now, i dont know what to do. i heard about this website and ive heard good things so if you can help me out, please, i would appriciate it! should i tell him that i like him? or would that sound desperate? i dont wanna be like those other grlz. i wanna hug him b/c i care, not just b/c he's popular. please help me. love, tiana
Aww!! This question Really touched me. I can tell you Really caRe foR this guy, so I think you should just flat out tell him how you feel. Just set aside youR feaRs, and go foR it! Also, I think that if you weRe to bReak the ice and tell him you like him fiRst... you'Re wayyy moRe likely to get an honest Response foR him. You can do this; I have complete faith in you, and I think you should as well. :)

♥[?]♥ ok, my girlfriend's dad died the other day (they were on vacation in Qubec with her, her dad, her mom, & 2 friends) & so she was very upset & so she broke up with me. I understood & said it was ok. & so I bought her a card (witch I'm gonna send once I get her address from her friend) & I'm afraid to call her & everything cos I don't want to talk about it & that'd be the only thing we'd talk about.

but what I'm asking is if I should wait for her to get over it all & maby go back with her, or if I should just move on?

more about our realationship, she lives about 45 mins. away & I haven't been able to see her much & I haven't been the best boyfriend since I'm going through some really hard times right now, but I try

I'm 14/M & shes 14/F

thanks
You tRy... that's all that can humanly be expected of you. That's veRy commendable infact, many people would be fine just letting theiR Relationship fall apaRt, but I can tell you Really caRe about this giRl.


Losing a paRent must be haRd; I suppose I couldn't even IMAGINE what she must be feeling. I think it would be a lovely and kind heaRted gestuRe to send heR this caRd. And I know you might not want to talk about it, but maybe it would do heR some good?? Just make shoRe you let heR know that you'Re always theRe foR heR. Honestly, theRe's absolutely nothing you can say to heR that will give back what she has lost, so just let heR know that heR and heR family will be youR thoughts and pRayeRs.


And as faR as youR Relationship goes, if she still wants to put it on hold, then unfoRtunately that's that, ya know??? I don't think you should hang on eveRyday hoping she will change heR mind. And I don't feel it's faiR of youRself to pass something else up that could be tRuly gReat just because you'Re waiting aRound foR heR. That's wondeRful you love heR enough to do so, but it's simply unfaiR to youRself, and i'm shoRe you Realize this. When and if she changes heR mind and is Ready to pRoceed with the Relationship, THAT'S the time to think about it. The way I see it.. if it's MEANT TO BE.. it WILL be... in due time...


I wish you all the best. Hopefully I've been of at least SOME help heRe.
