Ok so we are taking care of a dog (2 years old, Coon/basset hound mix...) She was abused and was always kept outside, been on the streets for a while, and was negleted. So now she is used to Peeing/pooping when and where she wants. We can't have this and my mom said that if she doesn't improve in her potty training, by THIS WEDNESDAY,then we're sending her back to the Animal Protective League. She pees/poops in the house about 3 times per day together.
We can't smack her when she pees all we can do is yell at her...but she still does it when she wants later, even if she was just outside. So should I use a water spray bottle and spray her when she does it and tell her no? Can I flick her on the nose? You've just got to remember that she was abused. And she doesn't like being outside on a leash, by herself with water, very long.
I REALLY DO NOT want to send her back to the clinic...so I need improvement by this Wednesday.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS OR JUST HAVE HELPFULL ADVICE!!!!!!! THANKS SOOO MUCH!
This is how I trained my dog. I timed the times he went potty (he, too, did it in the house). The next day, I took him out in the backyard on a leash, around the times he was used to going potty. I would wait with him until he finally did his business (I picked the same area in our yard, no other areas are allowed) and gave him a treat. I kept on doing that everyday, and now he is completely trained, and he only does his businness in the area of the yard I trained him to do it.
She won't immediately switch over to the yard, but she will begin to do it in the house alot less. When she does it in the house, scold her. When she does it outside, praise her, and give her a treat.

Hi, My mom is 100% careless, she gets me whatever i want, like anything, but i asked her tonight "Can i go to victorias secret to get bras and underwears?" she was like, THATS FUC*ING INSANE! I dont even wear that?! You'll get it when i start!" and shes 46, my sister, whom is 19.. turning 20 in january, she gets it with my MOMS CREDIT CARD! its redicilous! All of my friends wear their bras, but of corse, mine are from like, target, and the rest of my clothing is from abercrombie, it doesnt make sence! HOW CAN I TELL HER I DESERVE STUFF FROM THAT STORE!? and i already have underwear from there, my mom gave me her credit card when i was on a school trip in washington DC. and i got stuff in the mall, its pissing me off!
* what can i do to prove to her that i should be allowed to wear it?
* why do you think she wont let me?
* she wants my father to pay for it, just like everything else.
A lot of my friends dress in Abercrombie, and get their bras at Target, Kmart, Khol's: department stores, basicly. Do you want to know why? Their breasts still have chances of developing, and there is no point in buying an expensive bra that they are going to outgrow. Second, no one is going to see your bra, well, maybe the bra straps, and they won't be able to tell where you got your bra just by lookig at the straps. Third, Target has very cute bras, along with other departmnet stores. Don't think that because that store isn't really for rich people that it doesn't sell nice things.
As for the underwear. Victoria's secret is a store for sexually active (lol, I guess you never noticed the crotchless underwear lying in the drawers next to the cute panties. But your mom sure has!) women. Again, their are hundreds of stores that sell adorable underwear.
Give your parents a break paying for everything. If you really want stuff from Victoria's Secret so bad, why not save up some money? Or if you don't have a job, get one! After you have enough money (of YOUR own money) you will seem so much more responsible, and a lot more deserving to shop at that store. If your mom still says no, then she probably thinks you are too young to shop at that store, instead of it being a money issue.

I entered in the contest on sugarloot to audition for the Clique Movie, and I was wondering if I was good. I mean i'm confused because some girls on that website showed no emotion or interest in winning whatsoever and they are getting rated better. I really tried to act like a nervous Claire. Do you think I have a chance of winning? I can't take off my entry because already alot of people have rated this one and it would be a bad idea to take it off. What is your honest opinion about me?
http://www.sugarloot.com/entry/232143834
I think you over-acted a little bit. Try toning it down just a tad, it will seem much more natural. Otherwise it was good, and like the other person said, don't roll your eyes as much =)

So basically one of my eyebrows is smaller than the other, by...i dunno. not totally noticeable, but it bothers me. So there are these little hairs above my eyebrow (where the eyebrow looks smaller) but theyre lighter so you cant see them. Is there anyway I could darken them and then reshape my eyebrow? What about hair dye? Is that a stupid idea...I don't know.
Why not pluck them? I plucked a few hairs on my face, and they grew back darker. I don't garuantee this will work, but it's worth a try. And even if they don't grow back dark they will still grow back, so you can dye them. To dye them you can pretty much go to any hair salon, and tell them to dye your eyebrows.
~Maria, 16
alright so i'm planning on maybe dyeing my hair this weekend. here's some pictures of me:

they aren't the best, ha but most pictures i have i have sunglasses on and i thought it be better if you see my eyes.
so any coloring ideas? please don't tell me it looks good the way it is becasue my roots show and my natural hair color is darker than that. thanks soooo much =]
A darkish brunnette, like a beautiful chocolate color would really match you skin tone, you eyes, and your eyebrows.

Something like that. High lights would look pretty, too.

do you know any songs that remid you of going back to school? or just highschool?
bahaha
thanks =]
Graduation Song - Vitamin C.
I always imagine it as graduating from eight grade, and going to high school. Because in my town, we only have one middle school, and three high schools, so depending on where your friends live, you might be seperated.

what base is a handjob classified as?
It depends. Some people believe the bases to go like this:
1: holding hands
2: kissing
3: oral sex, handjobs, fingering
4: sex
I consider the bases to go like this:
1: kissing
2: fingering/handjob
3: oral sex
4: sex
So people are going to say second or third, although my way of thinking of the bases is more common.

(it's kinda ong and confusing, but please help me)I babysit 1 kid at my house he's 6 years old! He is alot of work and eats alot i mean ALOT!we had dinner once and he had a plate full of mac and cheese,a plate of corn,a plate of chicken and fries! he is also very stuborn!he dosnet listen to the rules i set and makes mess's ,dosnt clean it up and he digs through my stuff and ask if he can have it!And he's family is very rich but i only get $2 an hour.the other dayi babysat him for 7 hours and i got 5 hours worth!how can i ask for more without sounding like a brat!
You should be paid at least minimum wage. Just (politely and nicely) tell the parents that you expect to get at least minimum wage for babysitting their child. Tell them that this child of theirs is eating all your food, which is a very good reason for them to raise you wage. Also tell them that he is disrespectful to your things.
It is important to tell them that their child is not being a perfect, little angel. Their parenting skills largely influenced his behavior, and it is important for you to hint to them that they need to discipline their child.
If they refuse to give you a raise, quit. It is not worth your time, and obviously you are not making a profit by letting him eat all your food. Its easy to find another kid to babysit.

i need advice on my best firend...
I was going out with this lad i liked but i best firend went out with him..!! and she was givin me a few tips on him.. but now were over and she thinks its all because of her and it anit and other people have started getting invode now and i think i'm gone loss my best firend..!!
What do i do..!?
I think what you meant to say was this:
"I don't know what to do with my friend.
I need advice about my best friend...
I was going out with this lad that I liked, but my best friend went out with him before me, so she was giving me tips. But now we're over, and my friend thinks its all because of her. It isn't, and other people started to get involved. I think I am going to lose my best friend.
What do I do?!"
See, writing correctly goes a long way!
Why do you think you are going to lose your best friend? Because she thinks that you guys broke up because of her, and others are getting involved and choosing sides. Did I understand that correctly? If I did, here's my advice.
Explain to her the reason the two of you broke up. Be honest. Then ask her why she thinks your break up was her fault. Comfort her. Tell her that you lover her, and still want to be best friends, and no guy is going to stand in the way of that. Hang out with her more than usual, especially in front of those people that are getting involved, so that they see there's nothing getting involved with.

Whenever i shave my underarms,
I use shaving cream & a razr,
I get all of the hair off but
about five seconds after I shave
red bumps pop up everywhere in
my pits. Sometimes they irritate
me and they itch and then somtimes
they dont. But they are UNATRACTIVE.
Why is this happening?
I get this too. The only thing that really helps is shaving the hair like you normaly would when its a bit long, 2-3 mm.
.. The space between each dot is about a millimeter, so that's about how long you want the hair to be.
Applying a lotion helps a little bit, but not much.
Shaving using cold water helps a bit, too.

Ok well I've seen random shots of this on tv. There's people ful dressed in full white with holes cut out for the eyes as if they're trying to dress like a ghost and there's a cross burning.
I see it in a couple of times on tv but maybe the most rememberable is in Kayne West's music video..I think it's called Jesus Walks?
What is that all about? is it a religion? Is a a tragic event?
Yes, the other person is right. It is the Ku Klux Klan. If you want to learn more about it:

I have a pain under my stomach, towards my right. When I wake up in the morning my lower back hurts on the same side where the front pain is. It will hurt for alittle bit, then go away but come back. Anyone know what this could be?
15/f
It could be something to do with your kidneys, but I'm not sure. It is close to impossible to diagnose over the internet, even a doctor will have trouble diagnosing you online. Why don't you see one in person? =)
okay my boyfriend broke up with me and i cried a lot, i was really hurt and then when i told my friend about what happened she was really shocked and sad and then she keep asking me if i was okay and she gave me a a lot of tight hugs and she said call me if you need anything and when we were chatting she sended me a couple of RnB love song that relates to me and also she send me a card online saying feel better and cheer up and she told me shes gonna buy me a chocolate when ill see her soon and after that she came to my house and bought me a chocolate and gave me a hugs what do you think about my friend?
Wow, what a great friend you have. Kind of made me realize what a lousy friend I am. =/
Make sure that you let her know how much you appreciate her, don't forget to do something nice in return once in a while.
Which holds a scent better...shampoo or conditioner? Also, which brand/scent happens to be your favorite and please include pictures. Would there be any good finds at a CVS type of store or am I better off purchasing elsewhere? Thanks!
Conditioner holds the smell better than shampoo: it is a lot harder to wash out, and most of the time people don't even wash it out completely.
In my opinion any Herbal Essences product smells good.

Also any Suave product smells very good, too, and you can pick out your favorite scent (I'll usually just open the cap and take a sniff right at the store. There's no seal, so no harm done, but just in case I don't do it in front of the employees.)
http://www2.dupont.com/Packaging/en_US/assets/images/19thawards/suave.jpg
As for where to buy it: Target, Kmart, any grocery store like Albertson's or Safeway, Costco, etc. I don't know what a CVS store is, at least I've never heard of it, so I can't tell you anything about that, sorry =/
I'm going to write a letter to my friend, and the only thing it'll say is "I like you." My issue is deciding which language to write it in. English? Spanish? French? Swedish? Portuguese? Haha, help me out. What would you think would be most "romantic"/ "cute"/ "whatever" if you got it?
Russian!!
I like you is:
Ты мне нравишься.
Prononounced:
TI MNYE NRA-vish-sya.
I love you is:
Я тебя лыблю.
Pronounced:
YA TIB-ya loo-BLOO.
But because this is so foreign, I don't know if you would want to use it. Out of the choices you gave, I would choose French because it sounds very romantic and beautiful.
Today I have a pool party to go to. And of course, I'm having me period. Normally, I wouldn't care and would just wear a tampon. However, I'm getting to the last few days, and my period is extremely light. What should I do? Should I wear the tampon? It would be kinda painful to take out. Or should I just skip it?
I am a really paranoid person, so I would still wear the tampon just to be on the safe side. And it will be very easy to take out if you are going to go into the water because the tampon will get completely wet.
i have this horrible pain right at the top of my right thigh, right where it connects to my pelvis.
whenever i try to walk, my right leg sort of collapses and it feels like jelly. and it hurts sooooooooooooooooooooooo badly.
what is this? a sprained joint?
None of us here are doctors, and even if there are doctors on this website, no one will be able to make a 100% positive diagnosis over the internet. I suggest you go to the doctor. If it gets worse/doesn't get any better go to the emergency room.
Whenever I'm in a car, I'll look over and they'll be a hott guy in the car next to me and he'll be STARING at me. It's so annoying! Guys always do that. And I went to Yankee Stadium and guys were staring at my ass and I wasn't wearing anything revealing! And like if there's a car in front of me, I'll be in the front seat and boys will turn around and stare me down. It's embarassing! Especially when I'm with my dad, haha. I'm only 13! I don't do anything to make them look either. Yet no one in my school even gives two looks at me. I don't get it!! Does this ever happen to any of you? I can't go a day without a random 15 year old guy flirting with me. It's kinda fun when I'm with my friends but when I'm with my parents it's like AH GET AWAY. Haha but if this happens to other people I'd love to hear about it...
Lol I know where you're coming from. I could be driving home from swim practice with my hair wet and tangled, my make up running, and they still "vroom" their cars and turn up the music. I think half the time the guys don't even care about me, they just want to show themselves off... to anyone. Luckily my dad never pays attention to these things, but my mom just says 'way to go'... which makes things so much more akward.
If you're with your parents then just ignore the guys. But when you are alone, especially if you're not in your car, please be careful. Walk in areas that have lots of people, never go down an empty street by yourself.
i love birds but i cant stop eating chicken b/c it tastes so good. is that bad? to eat your favorite animal? i know theres like species of bird but i like birds in general but still..
Lol, it's ok, don't worry about it. My friend has chickens (two of them are actual pets, the other ten are just kept for their eggs) and she still eats chicken.
So me and my friend made like a dildo or whatever, and we put a condom over it and used lube. As we were penetrating the dildo in our vagina, it would like STOP going in... it was like a wall htat was stoping the dildo from going in.. and when u would hit the wall, it was like really bad cramps. What is this wall??
its like 3-4 inchs in me....
THANKS
I highly doubt that is your hymen, because it is definitely not that far up in the vagina.
The vagina has a bit of a curve to it, and if you are in a sitting position the angle of the curb is increased. When you hit this "wall" try changing the direction the dildo is pointing. Lying on your back helps a lot too.
