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. [:

sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ So, I'm in 8th grade (im a girl) and recently I geuss I have begun to be really good friends with a 5th grader (boy) (i go to a SMALL Catholic school in the middle of no where). Now I like him much more than a friend, but i dont know if it's wrong to like him more, or what i can do about it?.
Well.. I don't think that having a thRee oR fouR yeaR age diffeRence is a big pRoblem whatsoeveR. HOWEVER... I think foR RIGHT *NOW*... that age diffeRence is too big, because it sets you both at completely diffeRent matuRity levels...

♥[?]♥ what brand of mascara works really well?
I Reccommend Maybelline's 'XXL' - second most amazing pRoduct I've eveR come upon - it always looks stupdenous on me... it adds volume, and lifts to cuRl! AnotheR good one is Maybelline's 'Sky High CuRves'! Goodluck deciding. Hope this helps!!

♥[?]♥ What is the biggest beauty secret?
PeRhaps that the POINT of make up... is to make it look like you'Re weaRing none at all; to give a "natuRal beauty" look. HoweveR, peRsonally.. *I* don't choose to go by this Rule, and neitheR do many otheRs.... it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence!!

♥[?]♥ How can I get people to ask me for advice?
Just make youRself known. AnsweR many questions as appRopRiately as possible. And if you have AIM, oR something close to it, add a link in youR pRofile!

♥[?]♥ Hey im doing an upcoming talent show for skool and the only song that i can think of doing that is easy enuff for my friend is Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana!!! I want a song sumwere around Nirvana, Sum 41 and The White stripes...plz help!!
Thanx in advance =)
Ooooooooh, White StRipes would be soo cute!!! How about GReenday?? "Good Riddance" would be Really adoRable!! OR "BoulevaRd Of BRoken DReams" even!! THAT would be a Real cRowd pleaseR! OR how about "WondeRwall", by Oasis?? If you haven't heaRd it, you ought to! It's a REALLY teRRific song as is, but it's a gReat one to spRucin up if you so choose! Also, something by Jewel would be good. I know if you'Re male you might feel that peRfoRming a piece by Jewel would be too feminem, but I stRongly disagRee!! And don't foRget the eveR loved Red Hot Chili PeppeRs and OffspRing!!! I wish you alllll the best of luck!!! Hopefully this has been of at least SOME help to you!! Take caRe; I'm shoRe you'll teaR it up out theRe!! ;D

♥[?]♥ If you cut all white foods from your diet (such as sugar and bread and all carbs) will you loose weight fast and still be healthy? How long would it take?
Well pRoviding you cut out white bRead and soda... [is you'Re used to consuming A LOT of it] you can see a diffeRence the fiRst two weeks. Seems bizaRRe, but my fRiend did it.. and we weRe both shocked to all hell! But of couRse weight loss takes time.... you just have to stay committed, and have the dRive to keep it up. TRy to keep youRself busy... and sleep as often as possible... these things keep youR mind busy and off food. I can't Really say how long it will take; I suppose that diffeRs fRom peRson to peRson. It Really just depends on how much weight you'Re looking to shed. I'd say you could lose 10 to 20 pounds in a month; that's veRy possible. Goodluck to you!! I wish you the best!! Hopefully I've been of some sort of help heRe!! =D

♥[?]♥ I wrote earlier about a little boy getting hit by a truck...
His splean is brussied ? is that bad????
His lungs might be brussied! is that bad???



-Thanks-

Read the question that is labled "Dead Little Boy:'(!?!" for more info!
Well OF COURSE it's BAD!!! It's CERTAINLY NOT GOOD, BUT it's betteR than death. My cousin bRuised his spleen about two months ago playing baseball. He was in the hospital foR about a week, and home schooled foR neaRly thRee months. He's fine and dandy now though, so hopefully this child will be okie-dokie! Hope this bRings you some closuRe! =D

♥[?]♥ i have this background i want to use, i found it online on a background website. what do i put for the link because there isn't a link for it, so i can have it as my background on here
To be honest, I'm a bit confused on the question. HoweveR, I'm going to tRy to help you as best as I can fRom what I got fRom the question. Now, theRe *IS* a slot foR the PAGE backgRound *AND* SIDE BAR backgRound. They can be found on the page titled "Column Settings". To get the backgRound you want, simply open up the website wheRe the backgRound is on, and pRess the button key oveR by the Backspace button titled "Print Screen SysRq", oR something to that effect. Then paste it into Window's paint pRogRam. Then simply cut it down so that only the background you want is on the scReen, you get what I'm saying?? Next, save the image, and upload it on a website. By this, I mean go to.. http://www.photobucket.com and RegisteR an account. It's 100% fRee of cost!! then it will pRovide you with a URL that you can paste into the BackgRound slots on AdvicenatoRs. If you wish, I will do this all foR you.. and put it up my photobucket thingy, and always keep it theRe, so you will always have it. I'd be moRe than happie to do so, but it's pRettie simple, so I think you should be able to handle it. Goodluck to you! Hopefully I've been of at least SOME help heRe!! AIM: SiMPLYxGiRL =D

♥[?]♥ can you please help. me and my boyfriend were in a 3 year relationship but he was really nasty to me he hit me and i use to sell drugs for him i know im stupid but i was so scared of him any way i sucked up the courage to break up with him and i did but now he rings me and follows me i told him i was gona ring the police and he sed he would tell them i used to sel drugs unless i go back to him should i go back i dont want no trouble with the police and also ive already bin in trouble with them once because of it.
Jesus.... Definitely *DO NOT* go back to him! He's *obviously* a complete waste of a life!!! I doubt he could even get you in tRouble with the police anyhow. He'd pRettie much have to *pRove* you WERE indeed SELLING the dRugs.... And him being the little immatuRe snot mongeR that he is... the police will pick up on his ways IMMEDIATELY.. fRom just his body language and vocabulaRy; the authoRity is NOT stupid... and they see that kind of cRap alllllll the time. If you feel youR life is tRuly in dangeR, you definitely need to have a RestRaining oRdeR place on this fucktaRd... I wish you alllll the best of luck!! I hope eveRything woRks out!! Take caRe and know that you can *always* come back to me if you eveR need a second opinion. =D

♥[?]♥ this is driving me crazy...all my friends have bf's besides me..yet im not the prettiest girl in the world..but every where i go someone says something about their bf's or how they hate being single..and i am 15 and never had a bf...can someone help me?
You'Re only 15, so theRe's no Reason you should woRRie about it. You have PLENTY of time still, and it's definitely NOT uncommon foR people to have been thRough the same thing. But be it 12, 17, oR 20... it's not as big of a deal as you might assume. I know *TONS* and *TONS* of people who aRe aRound 20-21, and have still neveR even held hands with someone. HoweveR, if theRe's someone you know well and may slightly like, and you figuRe he just doesn't feel the same, then you *DEFINITELY* need to confRont him on this. Just be bold, be honest, and go foR it. It's the *ONLY* way to know FOR SHORE if he likes you oR not; you can *ASSUME* he does all you want... but you'll neveR know exactly how he feels unless it's coming stRaight fRom his lovely face. And if you'd like to spRing foR new guys entiRely, just tRy going up to one and giving it youR all! Just RemebeR to always be confident, and to SMILE, SMILE, SMILE! See, I have NOOO pRoblem appRoaching people, because I believe that I can do anything, so I just push my feaRs aside and go foR it!! I'll walk up to some man in the mall and tell him flat out, "You'Re hot"... and it always gets us talking. Why does it always get us talking?? Because confidence is sexy, and even if he's involved, oR not wanting a Relationship with you specificly, any man who is a QUARTER of a man will speak with you foR just having enough guts to go foR it! So, now that that's coveRed... go get 'em, TigeR!! I have complete faith in you; and I think you should too. Go get 'em, TigeR! =D

♥[?]♥ i have these excessive sweating problems under the armpits. i've heard this person say that you should apply babypowder over your antipersperant but that doesn't work for me at all and it makes that part look nasty cuz the stuff bunches up. anyway i just went to main drug mart *i'm canadian* and i only brought about 20 bucks with me and told them and they recommended drysol but they were all really expensive so i could only afford to get the mild one which says "aluminum chloride hesahydrate 6.25% w/v in anhydrous ethanol" and i don't know what that means. i sweat alot alot even if i'm not doing anything that usually makes you sweat so do you think mild would be okay to stop the sweating or should i get the stronger one? sry for the length i really need help on this.thanks in advanice
Hmm. I've been Recommending baby powdeR ontop of deodoRant on this site since my day one. I've had many people come back and tell me it has helped them tRemendously. *HoweveR*, what woRks foR *ONE* may not woRk foR *ALL*! So I'm soRRie if this idea didn't do much foR you. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS woRks foR me, but theRe *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the ass, so I usually make a point of caRRying some soRt of jacket. HeaRing that, theRe's this pRoduct people aRe talking about on this site, and I've even seen it adveRtised on television. It's called CeRtainDRi. Now, they say it can be puRchased at Wal-gReens, RiteAid, CVS, and WalmaRt, howeveR, EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been to the stoRe looking foR it, I neveR seen it on the shelves. NatuRally, this leads me to ask an employee wheRe I can find it, and they *always* tell me they've neveR heaRd of it, and they do not caRRy the pRoduct... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'What now?', ya know? But if you insist on sticking to DRysol, I say go foR the stRongeR one. Yessss, it may be moRe money, but I'm shoRe it will definitely be woRth it!!! If the pRoblem peRsists, peRhaps you should consult a physician, who can supply you with pRopeR medication. Also, he can give you shots that kind of close up youR poRes, so sweating neveR Really happens again. I'm not shoRe if that's an option foR you, but I Recommend asking him foR moRe info. But whateveR you decide to do, goodluck fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!! Hopefully I've been of some help; know that you can always come back to me if you need anotheR opinion. =D

Heyyyy!! Honestly, I've neveR tRied CleaRasil, but my best fRiend uses it, and heR acne is always at a minimum! I, on the otheR hand, use NeutRogena, and my acne is simply nonexistant. Of couRse what woRks foR one may not woRk foR anotheR, but I Recommend going with NeutRogena.... Hope this helps!? Goodluck deciding!! =D

I thought it was mean but i didn't comment. Anyways so now one of the uninvited people is mad at us because she actually did want to see ther movie. what do i do?
Apologize to heR.. even if you don't mean it... Next, tell heR she should have spoken up THEN!! What's done is done, and theRe's no going back and changing things.... so tell heR to quit whining! Hopefully this is of some help to you! Goodluck!!

♥[?]♥ In the commercial for the Lords of Dogtown what is the song that plays? I think the first part goes:

lest we all fall down before we're too late"
Heyyyy!!! I'm just letting you know I tRied foR neaRly two houRs to locate this song title and aRtist foR you, but I'm soRRie to say I failed. I tRied EVERYTHING I could think of, and nothing popped up. I'm soRRie I can't be of moRe help to you; I just figuRed I'd let you know that SOMEONE did TRY to help... Maybe next time you see the commeRcial, tRy to get moRe lyRics foR me to woRk with, and I'll see what I can do at that time. Goodluck!! =D

♥[?]♥ i'm with this guy that i really care about and well, i've never had a serious boyfriend before and well, i'm not exactly sure what to do about people spreading rumours and stuff. i haven't been telling alot of people but alot of people know i'm going out with somebody they just don't know who, and i'm not sure if i should just let everybody know so they'd all shut up and stop bugging me to tell them or not tell them and let them find out for themselves. thanks
Well you aRe ceRtainly entitled to youR pRivacy, so if you wish foR this to Remain a secRet... you definitely do NOT have to tell anyone. HoweveR, I don't see the big deal heRe. You can tell people WHO you aRe going out with, and STILL have youR pRivate life Remain pRivate!! Best of luck to you!! =D
