about
I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.I'm one of the very blessed.
I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.
Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.
Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

later this week i would really like to go take my driving permit and i was wondering what kind of questions will be on the test? i live in massachusetts and i've looked at many websites so could i get some questions please. when u do get a driving permit does it mean u can practice driving with a parents?
When you get your driver's permit, you will be legal to drive with your parents, back and forth to school and back and forth to a job. At least that's the way it is here in Kansas.
Now, if you are wanting to get access to material to study for your written exam, the best place to go will be your county's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). There is usually one located in your county courthouse.
If you don't have a way to get there, just call up the DMV and ask them to send you the book you need to study for your test.
I don't know how things work in Massachusetts, but in Kansas, the state is required to send you the booklet to study.
what's the deal with like.. getting pregnant during your period. or you cant get pregnant when you dont have your period.... i dont know ive heard so many different things please clarify!
As far as I know, though you have certain times during your cycle where you are most fertile and times when you are least fertile, you can get pregnant at any time.
If you are sexually active, always protect yourself against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Okay i shaved one time and i go realli bad razor burn so i let it go away and my hair wetting kina long... well i went over to my friendshouse nad she said we were going to a water park teh next day so i hopped in her shower and shaved like halfway down from were my hair started(like not even to the lips down there u know) ... so like i came home today and shaved the rest and now its realli itchy and crap and like its down there bye the lips and i was wondering if that is just razor burn or could it be like a std for my friends razor or somethign!!!!! but i didnt go all the way down there with that razor and thats were it itches!!!! and theres lil red bumps were it itches...... and liek it itches right on the inside of the lips and thats it......so is it just razor burn or what
I'm not really sure, but sounds like you may have a case of razor rash. When you shave areas of your body that has delicate skin, that happens. Little red bumps etc.
But I'm not an expert on that stuff, I'm not a doctor, so maybe it would be best to ask your mom or someone about what's going on.
I don't know about wheather you can catch an STD from a shared razor, but I suppose anything's possible.
It may be a good thing to check with your family doctor and make sure that you are ok. They are the best people to give advise on questions such as yours.
ok i am going to be a freshman and im not even going to try and hide it. i am very freaked out. my older sister says its no biggie but seriously i am a very sesitive person and i cant really handle getting teased or picked on without turning red or becoming insecure about whatever whoever happened to tease me about. and i am going to get lost (we dont get our scheds until the first day).
so does anyone have any advice about what to do on the first day or what NOT to do on the first day? advice with bullies, teachers, or red facedness will be greatly appreciated and rated.
Hey, I know how you feel. The first day of your freshman year can be scary. It's been 14 years since that day came for me, but I haven't forgot the experience! But of course, I don't know how big your school is. My school was quite small. My entire graduating class was only 36 students.
Teachers? They are a little harder than junior high. They have to be. The curriculum is tougher for sure, but not too tough if you are a decent studier. They will be cool with you as long as you pay attention, care about your studies, and don't be disruptive. (That means passing notes, talking with your neighbors, and general trouble causing.)
Bullies? Oh yah, they suck big time! The biggest mistake you can make with a bully is giving them the satisfaction of knowing they got under your skin. If they know they bug you, they will keep on doing it! Either ignore they exist when they pick at you, or if they make jokes at your expense, just laugh and say, "yah, that's a good one! I'll have to remember that for future reference!" Hee, hee... that spoils their fun, considering bullies get their kicks out of rubbing other's noses in the dirt. (It also helps to keep your books held close to your body, so's to disallow any opportunity for a bully to knock them to the floor as you pass by.)
Red facedness? Hey, don't get embarrassed by what some jerk says or does something rotten to you. (though I would hope that doesn't happen to you)They are the moron who should be embarrassed for not knowing how to properly behave in public (yah, kinda like a 3 year old lol), whereas you are merely minding you business as a responsible student.
As for classes and schedules, everyone in your freshman class will be as lost as you are! After your first week (at the latest) you'll know that place and your schedule like the back of your hand.
Okay, well, please only answer this question if you actually know what song I'm talking about.
You know the song 'Boys of Summer'? I think there's an original version by The Ataris, but I know that there's another version of it, like a club mix, sung by a girl. My question is, what is that song called? I tried typing 'boys of summer' in Morpheus, where I usually download my music, but I get the regular version.
"I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun..." Man that is a good song from back in my day!
It's called "The Boys of Summer" and the original artist is Don Henley. It was done back in the 80's.
Now, I'm not sure, but when I type "The boys of summer artist" into my search, I only get two different artists who did the song- Don Henely, the original artist, and The Ataris who re-did it.
So must be the Ataris who did the version you're searching for, or at least that's all I can find researching it.
Hope that was some help to you
ok so theres this guy Jesse. I went out with him in january and we broke up but since then he's always been there for me and told me when guys were using me and still cared about me for so long. in march/april we got back "together" but didnt like officially go out, because i ruined it by ditching him for another guy. after that he was still nice to me and we have been friends, but lately we've been drifting apart and i guess the distance has mademe realize that he was one thing in my life that was always there, left unappreciated. i realized that i really love him deep in my heart, and i cant lose him. i really feel like hes not the same anymore, he doesnt seem to care like he used to. i really hate myself for letting this happen and ive tried so hard to fix it. i sent him a page long letter that really showed how muchi cared and he just doesnt seem the same. i really miss him so much and i need advice.
I don't know if you'll like this, but seems like you broke this guy's heart.
The best thing I can think for you to do is instead of writing him a letter telling the way you truly feel, you should tell him face to face. That way, he sees that you are being sincere about what you say to him. He can see more in your face than he can see in a piece of paper.
But don't hate yourself over mistakes made. Just be sure to learn from them, because mistakes often teach valuable lessons.
I hope you get your guy, because sounds like he's a fine one.
how many shots of alcohol will usually get you drunk and how many beers would get u drunk? (minimum amount)
Well it all depends on your age and body weight and tolorence. I don't know how old you are, but I hope you are of age to drink if you are planning to.
Taking shots is a risky thing, because if you take too many too fast, you can really harm yourelf.
Unlike the person answering before me (who posts they are only 15), I am of legal age to drink. I am 28 years old, and I like to drink myself, but I can't tell you how much would be a minimum amount for you to drink to do so safely and wisely. I don't know anything about you to even try to give a good answer.
However, I will tell you, if you don't already know, that alcohol is a POISON and if you drink too much it can kill you.
so i have a real big problem..i dated this boy for about a month and it was real intense but then he just dropped me out of no where and i was hurt and i never fully got over him so then about a month and a half passed and i started talkin to my old boyfriend and we started dating again and things were going great and then he all the sudden popped up again and started talkin to me again and i know i still have feelings for him and he told dat he had feelings for me still and now i don't know what to do i don't know if i should tell him how i feel about him or just try my best to get over him and try to work it out with my boyfriend? i really need some help if you give me good advice then i'll give good rates
Well this is a tricky one.
I guess it all depends on how you feel about your current boyfriend, for starters.
And it also greatly depends on wheather or not this other guy is going to cut-and-run on you again. If that is a possibility, I would steer clear of him. You have feelings for this guy, and if he ditches you again you will feel all of that sadness and hurt again, and it may be worse than the first time. So you definately don't want to set yourself up for disaster.
However, if you think he REALLY means what he says about his feelings, and things aren't working out with your current bo, maybe give him a second chance.
okay, ive been thinking about what i am...straight, bi, lesbian. and i dont know.like i think i am bi but im not sure. i found out the other day that my ex is bi and that made me think alot about myself. like if i did anything wrong or something. but i dont know. i think i am bi. but i dont want to be, cuz if i am, then my friends and family would hate me. im only 13 an usually when kids are younge and say the arent straight, people usually dont take them seriously and say "oh your straight, your just saying that to get attention" well im not trying to get attention. im just confused.
Of course your confused. And I wish I had some brilliant thing to say to you to make you feel better but I don't, other than you are 13, so your hormones are kind of crazy.
I know this advice kind of sucks, but the best thing I can say is to give yourself some time to grow and mature. If you are bi or lesbian or straight will be something you will know for sure in the future.
Until then, I would say that this whole "bi" thing you are feeling may have something to do with your ex, or it may be just simple curiosity. Like I said, your hormones are crazy right now and they don't help matters any in knowing what you truly want.
I love kids and I want to have my own kids some day. But the thing is, my number one fear in the WORLD even over death is child labor. I read in a magazine, "On a scale of 1-5, labor is a 10." I know there are drugs you can take, but people still tell me you can feel the pain. My mom said when I was born it didnt hurt, but I dont trust her because I think she was trying to make me feel better. And what about the needle they put in your spine? Ugh, the whole thing sounds TERRIFYING. Help!
Hey, listen, it sounds terrifying to me too! I'm pregnant now and I have already decided I don't want the shot in the spine! It's called and epidural, and it will make you numb from the waist down. The reason I choose not to go this route is due to the fact I absolutely HATE having numbness in any part of my body.
As for the pain, I'm not sure what that will be like, but if you want to contact me in March, I will let you know what happens if you are still wanting to know.
I'm ygsgirl and you can check out my column to reach me to ask. My email is also posted there.
my whole jaw on the right side, like hurts to open my mouth. so i havent eaten for the past 3 days. & my ear like hurts really bad, to where i cant lay on it. & like it hurts so much, it makes me cry. & i dont usually cry, when im hurt. so yeah, it hurts really bad. so should i see a doctor? & does anyone know what that is? or have u ever had it?
I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you what it is or if i've ever had what you have.
I can guess it could be something like an ear infection, or it could be something like tonsilitis, or any other number of things.
Point being, you definately need to go to a doctor and have it checked out. Especially since you say you havent been able to eat for 3 days.
Don't try to guess for yourself or have others try to guess for you. If it's some sort of infection it needs to be treated with medicine you can have your doctor perscribe for you.
okay well i have this 'friend' who was always nice to me to my face but always said stuff about me behind my back . we got into a fight that lasted about 2 months then she said she wants to be friends agian . my mom told me not to be friends with her becaause of waht she does because shes a back stabber! anways.. im sick of her doing that because she is only mean to me when shes with her friend and she will start fights with me . today [ like 10 minutes ago ] i gave her a piece of my mind and told her that she hurt me and what she does . ik what i did was right. idk what im relaly asking just i needed to tell that to someone . sorry♥
First of, girls can be very wierd and very mean. I am sorry you are having to deal with this, because I know exactly what you are going through.
The only thing I can say is something you will maybe not like...
Your mom is right! You shouldn't be friends with a backstabber. If she is so two-faced, she's not really your friend, and doesn't deserve your friendship.
I'm glad you gave her a piece of your mind! That's good that you stuck up for yourself and your feelings. But don't subject yourself to people as low and thoughtless as a so-called "friend" who is kind to your face and cruel to your back.
I went out with this one guy for like, a year and a half, and never even kissed him. I just always thought of him as a.."oh were dating, but i dont want to "date him", kinda thing. So anyway, just a couple days ago, he called me up, and asked me to go out with him. (just to let you know, i dated him like, 4 years ago) Anyway, so i guess he still liked me, but i still dont think of him like that. I kinda said yes to the date, only cause i felt bad for him, but then i had to cancel.
How can i avoid things like this in the future? I really dont like him at all like that, and would rather remain friends.
So you just want to be friends. There's nothing wrong with that, and if he cares about you he will respect your feelings. I am a firm believer in being honest about how you feel, especially when it comes to relationships.
So if he calls you for a date again, you don't have to say no if you don't want, but don't say yes unless you make it clear to him that it's date to meet as friends. Friends go on dates, but not the gushy, kissy, hand-holding type of date. Friends go on dinner dates and movie dates, etc just to go out and spend good quality time with each other and do the things that friends do.
If he doesn't want to do it that way, then he really isn't worth being friends with in the first place.
Hope the best works for you and you have a long, healthy friendship!
I had recently go highlights and didn't like them, so I dyed my hair dark brown. but it came out darker than I expected and now my face looks a little pale.
What time is it best to sun tan?
Hair coloring usually fades after so many washes. So if you want to lighten the color without using more chemicals, you can try to wash it several times. The more you wash the more it fades.
Hope that helps
hey
theres this calender contest thing they're doing at my orthodontist, where you pick a month out of a hat and you have to make a picture for that month that has to do with the month and braces. well the only reason i'm doing it is because the winners get an ipod, and i really want one lol. i picked january, and i have NO idea what the hell to draw. anybody got a good suggestion?
thanks
That sound pretty cool that you could win an ipod!
The first thing that came to my mind when you said "January" and "braces" was a picture of a smiley with a big toothy grin and braces. And since January is a cold month, I saw visions of icicles hanging from the braces...
Hope that gave you some inspiration of sorts!
my one friend wants to help me with my imperfections..i mean she hasn't said it but i know she wants to.so should i be offended? or should i think its nice?
Maybe your friend means no offense. I mean she's your friend, right? Maybe she has good intentions behind what she's trying to do.
However, if you feel offended, you should be straight up with her about it. If she's your friend she will understand that you don't like to feel as though she's singling out your "imperfections."
Just remember(and remind her) that nobody's perfect, no matter how much they try to be.
this guy really likes me and hes asked me out about 7 times. i dont really know what to do cause he reallt likes me but i dont think i like him. :/ wat should i do to tell him? plz anwser QUICK cause he just asked me out AGAIN!!!
Just remember: Honesty is always the best thing when you are dealing with your feelings. If you go out with him just because he keeps asking, then you are going to be unhappy in your relationship. Then you will feel bad for breaking up with him because he'd be really hurt.
You could tell him something like "I'm so flattered that you think so much of me, but I don't know that it would work out between us."
Since you say you don't "think" you like him, maybe it would be something that would work out at a future time.
:]
Hey everyone.
I recently met a really great guy named Collin about a week ago. Ever since we met, we've hung out together 2 times. He seems amazing & we talk on the phone every night. Problem is he's 23 years old & I'm 16. I know, I know - big problem. It sucks. I never thought my parents would ever make such a big deal out of something, especially age - since they started dating when my dad was 21 & my mom was 16.
Everyone in my family thinks it's a HORRIBLE idea. They all tell me it makes them feel sick that he's even wanting to be around people my age. He's in college & he's an all-around great guy that just seems to be interested in me. We're great when we're together & we don't push things on each other. It's just like a relationship where we have mutual feelings.
I have no idea where to go from this point on. Both of my parents said they don't want me to see him anymore. [I never in a million years thought they would EVER tell me I couldn't see someone.] I know if I sit down & talk to them, and try and change their minds, they may. I just have no idea what to say.
My eldest sister, whose 29 years old is super close to my parents, so she's of course giving her opinions on the situation, and they're all bad, like "She shouldn't see him!" & "I don't want to meet him - he's not coming to my wedding!" & all of those negative things.
Please help.
Although I will want to hear all of the reasons why I shouldn't continue a relationship, please give me some ideas to where I could continue it. I don't think I could end it right now, it just seems way too much for me.
Thanks in advance.
I do know that when your 16, age difference is a big deal. There's 7 years between the two of you, and that is a big difference in maturity levels like it or not.
I do think that if you want to continue to see this guy, you are right in the idea of talking to your parents about it. Find out their reasons for not wanting you to date this guy, and you can fill them in on your reasons for wanting to. Maybe you can work something out that you can all agree on, even if you can only see him as a friend until you reach such and such of age.
What your sister thinks is important to a degree. I don't think she has any business in trying to make parenting decisions for your folks. Her opinion is hers, but what she thinks shouldn't dictate what your parents and you decide is best for you to do in your life.
I started my period on the 6th of July, a Thursday, and everything seemed normal, red blood. Then on the Sunday, as instructed by my doctor, I started my birth control pills (for the first time). Since then, my period blood is dark brown, almost black? And I doubt it is just dried blood, seeing as when I wipe, the fresh flowing blood is the exact same colour. What's going on? Is it related to the birth control pills? If it helps, I still have my period at the moment, and it's showing no signs of stopping, and I'm 15 years old and have been having my period since January 13th 2005, not regular.
You could call your pharmisist and ask what side affects come along with taking this medication. They would know more than anyone about what medicines to to your body.
well im going to be a sophmore next year and i have absolutely no idea what i want to be. obviously i have a dream job, and mine is to become an actress, but in case that whole deal doesnt work out, i want to have another thing for backup. freshman year i just took basics and this year i basically am too but junior im going to really need to think about what classes i want to take because its going to make a difference in colleges and stuff. does anyone know of any quizzes i can take or any thing like that to help me figure it out? thanks!
I know there are several kids that go to college still unsure of what they want to be. So they wait until such and such a year of college to declare a major. That gives a little more time to figure out what you want to do.
There should be someone who works at your school that will help you out with all the things you need to figure out for college. At my school it was our school counselor. I would definately get in touch with them because they might help you tremendously.
I do say, however, that you should take some acting classes and such in school, since that is where your intrest lies. But just keep in mind, there are only a choice few that make a career out of acting.
