does chi straitner ever go on sale?


what is the lowest price it has ever gotten?



which oneof chi straitners would yoo recommend to me?

-It mostly depends what store you're looking in. Usually online stores have sales.

-I got mine for about 120 dollars

- I got the chi turbo and it worked good for about 3 weeks. then it broke.

Instead, may I reccomend the Conair Infiniti Nano Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Straightener. it's cheap and works wonders. MUCH better than my old chi and much cheaper. I bought mine online here:

i have this huge crush on this guy lets call him adam. i knew that he liked me back cuz one of his friends told me so i told my best friend lets call her mary about it. then a few weeks later i noticed her flirting with adam when i wasnt there i could tell that adam wasnt in to her cuz he was trying to walk away.i asked her if she liked him and she denied it so i let it go then a little while later we had this dance and she couldn't stay away from adam. i asked her again if she like him and she said no again i wanted to make sure that she really didnt like him so i told her that i like this guy named zach and then i saw her flirting with him too then after awhile i noticed that she always happened to be flirting with the guy that i liked at the time or atleast told her that i like them.i think that she is a copy cat and she likes every body i like i dont want her to ruin my relationships in the future by flirting with my boyfriends so what can i do??
i dont want to hurt her feeling either..
thanks,
clueless

well, I have had the same problem with my best friend :) the solution is really simple; just don't tell her who you like. My friend did this thing where once I told her who I liked, she would say she liked him to and said that neither of us could have him since it wouldn't be fair. nonetheless, she would be dating him in like a week. Annoyed the crap outta me. but eventually, I just called her on it when she did it. Like, she'd be flirting with some guy I liked and i'd be like "dude I liked him first" or something :D eventually she got the message. Goodluck!

I guess this is the right category for this?

But anyway I don't know if anyone knows this or can answer this, but I figured hey friggin shot in the dark why not? Ok has anyone at all ever heard of this movie (I don't know the name, any of the characters or even what the hell it was about, but I'll tell you all I can remember):

Ok so there's this realllly fat chick (it might have been a dude playing a chick, but I'm not sure) and it's basically just about her being rude and mean and a big spoiled bitch. I know in one scene it's Christmas and she gets black slippers, but she freaks out because she wanted blue ones and she goes crazy and curses and flips out and throws the christmas tree on her mother. Then later on in the movie she ends up being pregnant and gives birth by herself on a couch. Then she tries to eat her baby. I think it was made in the 70s.

It sounds insane because it was, lol. It was on one night late about 2 or 3 years ago and I remember finding it hysterical and wanting someone else to see it besides me so I know I wasn't crazy and made the whole thing up. But I have no clue what the name of the movie is so I can't even find clips online or something. If anybody has any idea it would be much MUCH appreciated =). Thanks !

oh wow that sounds like a weird movie XD ok, um this is what I found:

Okay...so all of a sudden, i've become annoyed by every single thing that my best friend does. she's seriously the best friend i could ask for, she's honestly such a good person and just a sweetheart... but lately, she's just been getting on my nerves. we've been friends for years and i don't know what the hell has come over me. its not anything she does..its just her in general. her personality, the way she talks, the things she say are all driving me crazy. i feel so much anger and frustration towards her... and now shes just torn apart because she can tell i'm pissed and she has no clue why. she actually started crying the other day because she feels how distant i've suddenly become from her. what the hell is wrong with me?!?! every idea she has, i shoot down. everything she says i prove wrong.

i guess the main problem i have with her is that she just never uses her brain and does/says all these dumb things, and i've always thought it was funny all these years and now i'm just seriously pissed off and annoyed can't even stand looking at her anymore.

if it was any other problem, i could talk to her, i have no problem telling her when i'm mad at her, we're very very close and very open with each other. but how the hell do you tell someone you're mad at them because of who they are???? because they don't ever use their brain????? has anyone else ever felt this way, and do you think it will go away or will it just get worse? because it's been going on for about 2 months and now it's just gotten horrible and i can't even take being in her presence. is there any hope for our friendship???

Ha ha I know exactly how you feel, trust me it's completely normal :) I go through the same thing with my best friend. It's like, they annoy you but you are still friends with them. What I usually do is just talk to her and explain that I need a break. She always understands because when we start hanging out again, our friendship is stronger. I don't understand it but hey, it works wonders for the friendship :D goodluck!

School is about to start(I know that is a no-brainer), and I trying to get back in shape for school and sports. I knew that I have lost some weight, but 2 pounds are a lot. And last year, I weighed about 103 and now I weigh 112, and that makes me a little depressed. Considering that I now have to wear a size 3 in jeans to a size 5. This is depressing for me. So, I am wondering what I can do to get my weight back under control and get back in shape.

Thanks for the help,

eat healthy and start running. :) also, I know running is a hard thing to stick to, but it's much easier to run with your friends! Go to a track with someone else and start running! Good luck!

My hair goes to about shoulder length. I'm looking for new haircut ideas but I don't want it that much shorter than it already is. I'm looking for a really cute but edgy look. If you can help with pics it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well I think you should go to your hair place and ask your haircutter about it. I don't know what you look like, so I don't think I should answer ha ha. I'm sure your haircutter would know something to do :D but also, layers make everything "edgy" ha goodluck!

What does the average broadway star make?
What are the odds of making it?

depends what play/movie/show they are highered for. There isn't really an "average" but I do know it's a lot. The chances are very very very very very very slim. The people that are famous for acting are famous because either, a) they devoted their life to their job. Literaly. or b) they "Know someone" who helped them.

I have long dark brown hair and I have sideswept bangs similar to this photo:

http://www.imageandstylenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/side-swept-bangs-6.jpg

I am sick of my hair in my face and flopping straight down, I can't get it to hold its shape no matter what I do, I've tryed straightening it, blowdrying it with a round brush, teasing it or back combing it, hairspray and bobby pins and hair clips but it just looks crap.
I'd really like to get a different cut but I dont want anything too different becasuse I am scared of wrecking it, I just want something that looks good and will hold its shape yet not too much of a drastic change.

I would even maybe still like to keep sideswept bangs but just find some way to keep the shape and keep it from getting in my eyes.

This was my problem too :o what I did was, I got my bangs cut short enough so that they could hang down without actually being "in" my face. Plus with them shorter, it makes them easier to manage :D goodluck!

Okay, so recently my family and I went on vacation to the beach and one night my parents and his dad were out at some dance club place and my sister was asleep in her room and so my cousin and I were laying on the pull out couch on our stomachs watching the TV. My cousin is an avid texter and so he was always texting but I noticed his foot started to touch mine really softly. At first I thought nothing of it and was like whatever, it's nothing. But then he would roll onto his back to text and go back to lying on his stomach and look back to where our feet were and then I would feel his foot on mine again. This happened a lot more than once too.

What does that mean if anything? + Should I ask him why he was doing that or let it be?

Probably just nothing. He was probably wondering what he was touching and that's why he looked back, then he was like "Oh it's just her foot" and forgot about it. Just tell him if it really bothers you and ask him not to do it again :] goodluck!

My friends and I are training for Cross Country. We do 45 minute runs, and of course that gets kind of boring, and it drags on forever.

The other day we played some games and it made the time FLY. We went through the alphabet and named movies that start with each letter, and we did a "I'm going on a picnic and I am bringing..." memory game.

Does anyone know any other games like that that we could play on our run that would make it less boring. I spy was kind of hard, and we tried the one where we say a word and we have to say the first thing that comes to mind. Those were no fun.

Thank you in advance.

Try this game;

My name is (name that starts with "A"), my husband's/wife's name is (another name starting with "A"), we live in (Place starting with "A") and we sell (Item starting with an "A")

and you go through the alphabet like that. For example;

My name is Alice, my husbands name is Andrew, we live in Atlanta, and we sell apples!

-OR-

My name is Betty, my husband's name is Bob, we live in Baltimore and we sell Boats!

it's pretty entertaining and it can get challenging :D just take turns and try to do the whole alphabet. Goodluck!!

I'm a 15 yr. old girl, and I just broke up w/ my b.f. All he wants to do is play WoW, XBox, and smoke weed. I had him over to my house, and I told him that I wanted to make out w/ him, maybe even more, if he'd just come to my room w/ me. Instead, he sat in my bro's room and played Xbox the entire time he was over there! I even tried walking topless in front of him while he played, and he asked me to move over so he could see his game! This was my first b.f-am I just that unttractive, or is he an idiot? Also, he gave me like 3 wallet size Sr. pictures when we started dating last fall-will they flush? I want to do something meaner than throw them away. Everybody else says burn them, but my house burned down when I was in 4th grade and my baby brother who was 3 passed away, so I hate fire.

It sounds to me like he either is trying to show you he doesn't care, or he's just being stupid. I think you should just drop him. If he doesn't care about you, you shouldn't care about him. Move on, and find someone who really cares about you :) chances are though, if he was just trying to make it seem like he didn't care, if you move on, he'll be really jealous. :) either way, it's a win win for you! As for the pictures, I think they will flush ha ha or you could get a friend to burn them for you in a tin can, and then put the ashes in a baggie and give them back to him. It's a great way to show them you've moved on. I'm sorry about the cause for your fear of fire though :( well goodluck hun! Really, I hope everything goes well!

ok, so where should i start? i kinda met this guy through one of my friends. we had texted a lot and he calls me every night (this has been going on for about two weeks). we have been on a few dates and everytime he presses me to go farther and farther.
the guy is 4 years older than me. i'm in highschool and he's starting college. he lives about 30 mins away and its kinda difficult to see each other. also, he kinda has a gf, but tells me that he never gets to see her...
sometimes he calls me his private stripper. so far i haven't done anything with him, but he keeps on pressuring me to do something with him. i'm a virgin and want to save myself, but its so hard because he always sweet talks me and i'm kinda a sucker for that! lol
is he using me???

Yes,yes,yes, and YES. He is only trying to get in your pants. I think you should start cutting of communication from him. Little by little. Or, of course, you could just lay it down for him. Just say no. It may be hard, but trust me, this guy is just a player and you deserve WAY better. Goodluck!

I have this uncle, who had a divorce. Then he met this girl. He is 63. This girl is 23. I have no problem with age differences. But this has gone to far. That is somewhat 40 years. That is nasty. I understand 20, or less, but 40, come on. He defentily does not look 60. He broke up with her for a 22 year. Myt uncle disguests me. My whole familly has no problem. I want him to be happy, but that happy, is to me just plain wrong. He also is verrrrrrrrry rich. These girls seem to like his money.He doesn't notice or get hurt. I am tired of seeing a young woman, that is only 2,3, or 4 years older then my sister who's 20. They could be my isters. That so nasty. I need peoples opinion on young + old = love/like relationaships.

I completely agree with the person below me. This may disturb you, but it's no one's business but his own. I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do but ignore it. It's not weird that all the younger girls are dating him. Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted...goodluck.

im going to sleepaway camp in 3 days and my period hasnt started yet. on the 1st day you have to take a swim test and if you dont you just get put in level 1 (not good) i tried using tampons before but i was so nervous after i took of the wrapper and looked at it i threw it away. how casn i either get out of the swim test and be able 2 take it later or fix the problem. if this helps we swim in a lake

I suggest you larn to use a tampon. The directions are on the side of the box and I know you're scared but trust me, you'll be glad. That way your period won't hold you back from so many things. Just go in the bathroom and practice. But if you REALLY don't want to, when you get to camp, try talking with one of the women counselors or swim directors. They should understand :] Goodluck!

Hey guys,
So I have been writing lyrics for a little while. I like to write based on life experiences and my music reflects who I am. I am not good with writing music to go with it, but I have an idea of how I want the song to sound. I have always wanted to make a demo, but I am not quite sure how to go about. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you so much in advance. Writing lyrics is my dream. I love it!!

Well, I always found the easiest way to figure out the music half was to confront someone who has a good music background. For me, that's my dad, since he is naturally "musically inclined" ha ha. If you don't have anyone like that, another thing to do is get a piano or a keyboard and sit down a play around with it. I say a piano because, to me, it is the easiest instrument to get the general sound of the song out. Plus it's pretty basic, low to high :) it's all set up so you can just play around with it! Goodluck!
