advice

Does anybody know why I have an erection (but have been circumstised) and it`s very painful?? Anyone who has same problem - advice would be gratefully appreciated.

[As a female, I'm only guessing here, ok?] I take it you mean that the pain is round the circumstised bit when your penis fills with blood? This could be due to whatever is left of the fore-skin maybe shrinking and hardening so it doesn't expand properly. I would assume its restircting your 'performance', so to speak. I would recommend you go and see your doctor, or at least talk to him/er about it and what you can do. Always remember to keep the tip clean and check your balls for cancerious lumps.
Good luck :)

When I go back home on weekends, my parents get really upset when I want to take off in the evening and see my friends. They complain that they never get to see me and all this, and don't understand why I even want to keep in touch with my old friends anyway, it's nuts. So I'm thinking about going and staying with friends in their town and just not telling my parents that I'm there. I know if they find out they'd be really upset, but they guilt me if I don't spend every second with them when I'm in town. Is it wrong to lie to my parents about visiting my hometown, or a necessary evil to see my friends?

I think your 'rents are starting to suffer from Empty Nest Syndrom. By this I mean that you are [possibly] the youngest or an only child and they don't weant to let you go. Lieing in general is not pleasent, but I think maybe you can tell them that this weekend you are going to spend the whole trip with mates, and then next weekend you will spend the whole weekend with them. But make sure you carry it out!
Good luck :)

How do iFrames work?

They can work in two ways; either by putting text inside them, or linking to another HTML document. I personaly haven't managed to get the first way to work yet. There are lost of nice sites on the net that can help you. Just google it, by clicking the link Captin Scurvy posted.

Adendium: generaly you put them between the body tags. and example would be:
<iframe iframe src="/index2.html" name="dude" width="600" height="330" scrolling="yes" frameborder="0"> </iframe>, then all links the target attribute would point to 'dude'. better?

I previously asked...

I think so,,
Question Posted Monday March 01 2004, 8:57 pm

I think I do have depression because I was cruious on the symptons, and I seemed to match most of them... but you never know...

well I dont think It was depression I think I was just lonely and needed someone who cared.
I recently got hooked up with someone and Im happy reeeally happy seriously u gotta see me to believe it.. but when Im not talking to him or when Im not around him I get all sad and feel crushed up.. Im not obssessed I just wanted to be with this kid forever.. I've already said some strong things that I meant and I will always mean and Im posotive about each and every one of them! So please dont go all saying oh u shouldnt of said that its too soon or its too late or its toos trong or blah blah blah! sorry.. anyways...
its like Im happy around and with him and whenever I talk or see him Im happy.. but when I do the opposite "Not see, not talk, not hear, not with him" I get all depressed and sad and I go back to feeling lonely.. and people make fun of us they always say gow ith ur boyfriend or eeww ur ging out with him or her.. they are uggly and if we hugged inf ront of them at school they would laugh and I dont want to deal with their shit.. thats hwy we havent hugged yet we are sick of them!I was gonna hug him but people... everyone always says shit about us... everyone in the whole entire school knows now cuz of peoples big mouths!
Im not pointing any ingers or sayign any names... even though I can pick em out right away,, ehem (C)+(J)+(A)+(K)+(A) and some other people.... "The letters are the begining of their names cuz I dont wanna say their names on here..!! well I duno whats wrong with me.. but I duno..

I luv my bf sooo much and if he died Id kill myself or if he was dying I would stay by his side and just before he closes hsi eyes to fade away Id grab his hand hold it tight and stab myself in the heart..
Id rather die with him then be sad for the rest of my life

well I gotta go and thanks for ur help!
Bye..

(BRiTTaNY..)
*~Raven~*

I'm happy to help you, but next time, please be at least a little more coherent! Its quite hard trying to work out what your asking...

Anyway. If you love your new guy, then what does it matter what others say? I know its very hard to rise above shit-stirrers like that, but you sound like a fairly strong girl, so I think you could manage it. The best way to manage it I think, would be to not seem ashamed when random people at school come up and ask stuff; be proud of yourself and your love! Also formulate some good comebacks to the mean things they say:
Them- 'ewww, he's ugly!'
You- 'Not as ugly as you' *leave the area*

As for the being sad with out him, all I can say is, ahh! Young love... :D In other words its normal to be obbsessed with your new guy, but if your sadness/depresion gets very deep without him, I think maybe you should seek a chat with a proffesional, as it could be that you really are depressed, and you have just got this guy as a quick fix. Now don't start yelling 'thats not true!', that was just a caution, ok?

Also, that last bit worries me slightly. You are [probably] still young, with plenty of life ahead of you. If by some freak chance he was killed or whatever, please don't commit suicide! I'm sure you would rid the world of a bright and bubbly your lady, and no one likes to see life wasted needlesly.

Hope all that helps, and good luck :)

I've liked a certain guy for over a year, and finally let him know. I had my best friend tell him, but she told him in front of his friends. So, his friends started saying all this totally untrue stuff about me (like that I'm a slut & that I'm easy, even though I've never had sex w/ anyone!) My friend also told me that my crush likes someone else. I know I should get over him, but it's soooo hard. Any suggestions??

I think maybe you should try plucking up the corage to talk to your crush face-to-face and finding out if he really does like another person, and setting him straight on what his mates told him.

If it is all true then my best advice is to have a good hard cry, some comfort food and a night out with your mates :)

My husband has panic disorder and has suffered from panic attacks his entire life. He is on medicine for them now, but he is having a hard time holding a job. I love him dearly but am afraid if I stay I will never have anything, and I'm afraid of the judgement that will be passed on me by my family. I love him and don;t want to abandon him, am I crazy for staying?

No, I don't think you are crazy for staying. I also wouldn't be too concerned about what your family think of it all; if they want to be nattering old gosspips, let them!

I would ask why *you* can't get a job, do you have to look after your husband or children then? I would look for maybe secritarial work, part time, or somthing.

Good luck whatever you chose :)

Ive noticed my friends all around me are starting to get married. Sometimes I feel the pressure from society that its a womans role or duty to define herself as a wife and a mother...but somehow I dont think I am equipped with those feelings. I feel like I had a taste of what living with someone was like. I was with a guy for 3 and a half years--I loved him to death and I honestly think I couldn't have found a better guy or even imagine it, and somehow every morning when I wake up and have breakfast with the person, I dont feel good--it feels weird..the night before would be exciting and wild and fun but in the morning I feel like a domesticated housewife getting ready for the day and seeing my "husband" off to work. Maybe I have intimacy issues. I like spending time with people and having fun when I feel like it and I like being alone when I feel like it. I don't want to live with someone that has to be exposed to my moods 24/7, I am just not comfortable with it nor am I comfortable with their moodiness. Girlfriends are a different story. I think that as long as I find plenty of friends and activities in my life I will be okay...but I feel a little weird for feeling this way because I love being in love. I dont know..maybe its because every single person in my family is divorced...or maybe because relationships are so fickle nowadays and everybody seems to leave one another..I am probably scared of the investment. P.S.--At some point in my relationships when they last a long time--I always do something to sabotage it..its as if I really dont want it to last. What is going on with me? Are these real indicators or am I just jaded or is it my age? I am 25 years old.

I would have said it could be your age; you are still relitivly young, and possibly somewhere you brain is going, 'I shouldn't have to settle down yet!'. I wouldn't worry about it to much. You say you don't feel comfortable being exposed, and exposing otheres, to moods, so that might indicate intamacy issues as you suggested. I think it might be profitable for you to go to proffesional. *hug*

this time im going to bleed
i need to finish this deed
all this pain i kept inside
it will no longer hide
all this pain you put me through
now i say I HATE YOU
u tried to do the best for me
but why cant you see
im failing classes
i doubt any im passin
ive hurted for so long
i cant be strong
for this is my last
now ive passed....

Ack! This has good sentiments behind it but, the cliqué rhyming is terrible! It feels so forced, that it almost makes the rest of the poem not flow well. Just keep practicing writing from the heart....

[view]


is this a good poem?

i made it up:

once there was a boy
he lived by the shore
he played with a toy
man, he was a bore!

Its more a ditty, and a bad one at that. Just becuse it rhyms doesn't make it a poem. You need to try exploring your emotions and thoughts to create good poetry.

[view]


any have ideas for new poems?

Go for a walk to get some insparation, look deep into your feelings. Poetry is a profoundly personal thing and you should not ask for others' ideas.

a cat peed on my daughters play pen while in storage, how can I get the smell to go away?

Usually you can buy fabric spray that makes the smells go away, like Febrese [not sure how its spelt]. If its not fabric but plastic, you might have to just wash it down with a fragrent washing-up liquid.

I am very enamored with a guy. I am not sure what he thinks of me. He is going to prom with my best friend. He likes her very much but it is unclear whether she likes him or not. At one point, she was physically attracted.

I want to approach him but am not sure that is the best idea. What should I do? If I should, how do I do it?

I think you first need to ask your mate how she feels and if she would be comfortable with you asking him his feelings. Hopefully she will agree. Good luck though :)

[view]


Should I tell him I snooped? And should I be suspicious? I have no reason to think he'd cheating, but still, I wonder... This #'s were in his contacts list.

You should not be suspicious, but be honest and ask him about them if its really bugging you. The numbers are probably just work collegues or somthing.

Well i have asked questions alot on here but I'm really need some advice.

okay there is this guy lets call him *Kyle* and I have had a crush on him for like 3-4 years and i finaly got up the guts to tell him how I feel Well he told me through a friend that he didn't like me. I thought I was over him. Well now he is like just WEIRD! Like a week ago he gave me a peice of paper that is the same as the paper that I used to tell him (he even folded it the same) and like when I walk into a room he doesn't take his eyes off me. and when we are around his parents he always has his head down. Then today we were having a convo with a group and saying how you shouldin't have afairs and no more than 1 gurl friends and they were saying the towns where we live for examples and he said my city. (at the time id didn't hit me) well I am the only one that lives in town that he said. he has done alot more hints than just those but maybe you could tell me.
I totally like him. because all I can do is think of is him even if I try not too. and when I think of him I feel as if im floating.

anyways could you give me some usefull advice? any1?

a very confused gurl

Well from what you've said, it seems as though he is starting to chnage his mind about liking you, or it could be that he liked you from the start and he was to shy to tell you, so he told a mate that he didn't.

I think you need to go and have a quiet chat with him, about why he is suddenly acting up around you. Don't faff around, try to get to the crux of the matter, and make sure that there arn't any of yur mates around [guys somtimes feel this need to lie about things if they think there is a mate listening who they need to show off to].

If he still says he doesn't like you, but continues to act oddly you couls try another talk or ignoring him, or playing back. It just depends on the situation. Use the feminin intuition!
Good luck :)

For my AS open book exam I have to write a paper on the development of the Modern Periodic table, including info on:

Early attempts at classification
Mendeleev
The discovery of gallium- unusual properties,metal vs non-metal, dative covalent bonding etc
Atomic Spectroscopy- relation to an understanding of atomic structure
UNILAC accelerator(sp)-as above
Changing work of Scientists
Synthesisation of elements
Isotope 174 of Element 114

I could really use a little help. I've written most of it, 924 words out of a maximum 1000 but I should do a little improving before it's handed in. The final deadline is Wednesday morning. Today is Monday and my chemistry teacher isn't here.

Have you tryed googling for homework help [yes, I know its not really homework, but you never know]? Other than that I'm not sure what help you want. Can you give it to a class mate or another chemistry teacher for them to look through it or maybe proof read it?
I remember doing that exam, and how hard it was with a broken keybord, so good luck!
PS, maybe you could submit this to MFS, him being a Chemist and all.

lately my friend and i have been getting in really stupid fights. i mean she expects me not to be affected at all when she calls me a moron and a bullshitter. she thinks everything revoles around her. like should i be her friend? personaly i am pissed at her. she called me a bullshitter and a moron when we werent even in a fight! and then she sayd no affence! but like why wouldnt i be affended by that?! i have really defensive friends and they look out for me in all, but i told one or two of my friends about this problem and i just realized that i dont want them to get into this. and she also said fuck u to me. i hadalready told her i do not like it when she calls me those things, and yet she still does it.

If rational talking doesn't solve this, then maybe you should tell her you don't want to be her mate any more. You shouldn't have to put up with this kind of behaviour from anyone, let alone a mate!
Good luck

Lately, my friend and I have been arguing about a stupid thing. I dont want her to be angry or upset with me anymore, i just want to be cool with her. Sometimes i think she even trys her best. But can someone please help me?

(especially jessica)

signed- crystal

If you want to clear things up then, yes tell her that you are fed up with arguning with her all the time, and why can't you be mates again? In a calm and rational manner. But be warned, she may not, for whatever reson, have the same inclinations for making things right as yourself. This would depend on what the 'stupid thing' is.
Goof luck.

Hey. Im getting a guitar for my birthday. And the sad thing is that i dont kow how to play one. Which means i need lessons. But i am lacking in the monetry department at the moment... so im gonna be a laxy screw and get them off the internet or summink.
Does anyone here use those online guitar lessons?? Do you reckon theyre any better/ worse than real live people lessons??
Any tips on starting out on the guitar would be peachy too.

Thanks n stuff...
~ Mordak, she who has moved your cheese.

I don't think anything can really beat human instruction, but i have seen some very good players who used 'tech-yourself' books. I've no idea what internet lessons are like, but I would expect you still have to pay for them, and they may not be that helpful. I would advise going to a music shop and asking about books, or internet tuiton there.

How do you know if you are gay? and just so ya know I'm a girl please tell me i need to know!

I am not personaly gay, so I'm a bit unsure. But all those I know who are gay say, you just know. After a while there is absolutly no doubt in your mind that you are attracted to the opposit sex, and amny say they knew they were gay at a very young age. If you are uncirtain, I would checkout some youth help centers, or GLBT centers. Usually these places have someone you can sit down and have a chat with about whats its like to realises, and they can help and support you in 'coming out of the closet' to people you know.

i have a boyfriend well two actually the first one i live with the second one is just a guy im trying to see if him and i can work or not there are things lacking with the one i live with so im not sure about the second one but he is pushing me and he promised he would not what should i do

I think you need to sit down with your curent and discuss with him what is 'lacking', not run straight into the arms of another. I also think you should be wary of any promises made by the 'other'. Good luck with what you decide.
