Hey. Is it true that guys won't have sex with girls if the don't shave their vaginas?

No. It is not true. It's a matter of personal preference from guy to guy. Personally, I don't care either way. And neither should you for that matter. It's YOUR body so do what feels comfortable to you, not what someone else thinks you should do.

I am from South Africa , Eastern Cape , Port Elizabeth. I have an organic complex formula for controlling algae in swimming pools. I have registered , manufactured and distributed the formula (Liquipool) with great success within the borders of South Africa from 2000. I would like my formula to reach international status. Who can I approach to manufacture and/or distribute my product Internationally?

This was the closest thing I could find. I hope this helps you at least a little.

There is this guy that I really like, and I think he may like me too, but my shyness is holding me back. I don't have any classes with him, so it's hard to just start up a casual conversation without sounding stupid. And none of my friends are his friends, so it isn't like I could casually join into a conversation. I wrote him a note once, but I didn't even have the guts to hand it to him myself, so I had my friend do it. I think Nick would like me more if I could show him that I'm not afraid to talk to him. I'm not really "afraid" of talking to him. I guess i'm just very nervous of what might happen because of it. (Like me sounding like a total dork) Any tips or anything...? lol, thanks!

I could give you all the tips in the world but in the end you have to just decide you're going to talk to him and that's that. Don't worry about sounding like a dork. It's a part of life. I sounded like a complete moron at least 25% of the time I opened my mouth around girls in school. Most of the time they didn't even seem to notice! So I wish you good luck and hope it turns out well for you!

I love fashion and want to start a trend or a new look at my school. I'm pretty good with fashion, but I can't really think of anything. Can anyone help me come up with something that will look good? Thanks!

Anything you wear will become a trend if you wear it with CONFIDENCE! I went to school wearing a pair of shorts I had turned into a shirt and at first a few people laughed but when they saw the work I did to it and how much fun I had wearing it the laughs soon turned to compliments and for one week people were wearing shorts for shirts. Then my school banned them. So do whatever you want, just be confident in your choice.

okay, 13/f

im on light mode. and some standard.

You who have DDR Extreme... you know the mission modes?

well i cant get past 12-16....

is there any cheats to get past it? i really want to get past it and my sister whom is on heavy cannot get past it.

Ahh good old DDR. While there are no cheats for the game it is actually much easier to complete the mission mode with a standard controller instead of the dance pad. If you're already using the standard controller then all you can do is practice. It helped me alot to think of my right thumb as my right foot and my left thumb as my left foot and move them WITH my feet while I sat and played the game. I hope this will work for you as well. Fair warning though. The challenges will get absurdly hard as you get further along.

okay.. for class Im supposed to be doing a fake 'newspaper article' for the "54th black infantry regiment".. and it has to be around the date of december 1863... and it has to be from the point of view of someone around that time, so I was wondering if anyone could help me try to start it. It doesnt have to be like, pages long or anything. Maybe a good-sized paragraph or so.
So I was just wondering if anyone had any information on that, and if you could help me or give me tips to right a good article.
Thank you in advance, and I'll rate high.

This should have most of the information you need.

I would like to write about a serious issue in my blog instead of just spamming. Could someone give me some ideas for things to blog about?

P.S I have already blogged about elections in Canada.

You have to write about things that interest you or you'll lose interest in your own blog. Anything you like you'll be able to write well about and your readers will never be bored.

is hydrogen peroxide(sp?) ok to use to whiten your teeth? and if so, how do you do it, whats the best way to put it on, how long to you keep it on, etc....

also, would it be better to use before or after baces come off(i obiously have braces)

thanksss

Do NOT use hydrogen peroxide solution on your teeth. Use a whitening toothpaste. They're specially formulated for just that. Whitening strips like Crest Whitestrips work very well also. However I do not recommend any kind of whitening until after your braces come off. The spots covered by the braces will not be whitened and this will lead to uneven coloring and spotting on your teeth.

does anyone know what the short stories, The Corn Planting and A worn Path is about??



Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you mean Eudora Welty's "A Worn Path". These sites should be able to give you some information about it.

xroads.virginia.edu/~DRBR/ew_path.html

www.enotes.com/worn-path/

kclibrary.nhmccd.edu/welty.html

If, however, you are referring to Sharon Hardin's "A Worn Path" then this is the site for you.

www.eiu.edu/~ipaweb/pipa/volume3/hardin.htm

Now for "The Corn Planting" by Sherwood Anderson.

17/f
I don't know what to get my boyfriend of 4 months for valentines day. I cant get him a shirt because I already got him that for his birthday. I was thinking chocolates.. but is that enough? If that's not enough.. should I make him dinner? Should it be all fancy with candles and everything? Or should it just be like eating dinner in front of the TV? Any other ideas for what I should get him? Thanks

What does he like? This would be much easier with some detail's about his interests and personality. In general though, anything you can do alone together is a good choice. Dinner is a good choice, especially if you make something he really likes. No need to be ultra fancy about it. If you'd rather not cook then think about what he enjoys most. Does he like sports? Get him something from his favorite team or player. Is he a music nut? Grab a new CD or make one of your own with his favorite songs. The possibilities are truly limitless.

If you can leave me some details in my inbox I'll come up with a few more specific ideas for you.

I want to learn how to make my own clothes. I don't really know how to sew them though. I can sew already made clothes. Like I can sew a hole together hem pants and kinda can take in a thigh. Can someone teacher me how to make my own clothes? Websites would be nice too.

If you're still in school many schools offer sewing classes or at the very least home economics. If not, then you could try these sites.

www.sewing.org

sewing.about.com

sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/sewingclasses/index.pl

www.sensiblesewing.com

www.loders4sewing.com/CREATIVE CLASSES.htm


Hopefully at least one of these will prove usefull and good luck!

for losing weight:
is it better to run/jog consistently for a long period of time,
or to take short breaks in between?

Jogging is better than running for losing weight. With that said, it is better to go as long as you can safely go. Your legs will burn, your breath will get short, and you will get thirsty. Bring water and drink plenty of it, especially in hotter climates. I have seen over 40 men in the past year suffer heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and mild to severe heat stroke, from dehydration. You MUST maintain your hydration so drink water, even when you're NOT thirsty, if you're doing any outside work. So remember to push yourself, drink plenty of water, and you will lose weight, gain endurance, and feel great physically and mentally.

one more thing, could you tell me, say if I was round there, and he wasn't smoking it, but the room was searched and stuff was found, what then? thanks for your help.

In that case you have plausable deniability. If you didn't know it was there you may still be taken into custody but if you're charged with anything you won't go to jail simply because they would have to be able to PROVE that you KNEW the drugs were in the room. Not an easy task I assure you.

OK, im trying to lose weight around my theigh and ab area, so i was wonderin what diets actually worked, and i was hoping peole could give me like what to eat and not to eat and stuff..thank you very much, ill rate high for any useful info

Here for your viewing pleasure *TA-DA* The World's Best Diet!

I'm sure you've all heard the popular diets.

Don't eat meat!
Don't eat Carbs!
Eat less!

They are all wrong.

I'm sure you remember the food group pyramid from your elementary school days. Try to follow that as much as possible. Your body NEEDS all of those groups to be healthy. Also eat smaller meals but MORE of them throughout the day. I eat 6 or 7 small meals every day. Eating fewer meals slows your metabolic rate, while eating frequent small meals will increase it, thereby helping you burn fat faster. A healthy exercise regimine is also needed. Nothing fancy just do as many push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, and jumping jacks as you can and go for frequent walks, jogs, or runs, whichever you're most comfortable with. Remember to push yourself when exercising and if possible get a workout partner to keep you motivated. I hope this helps you.

How do I impress the girl I like very much?
How do I ask her on a date? Please, I need help with the whole girl thing.

Just be yourself. If she doesn't like you for you then she isn't good for you anyways. Who knows maybe while you're being yourself to attract HER attention you might be noticed by someone else and end up liking them more!

Im a christian.
But i feel like, i need to do something to make my prayers heard. Or something its really hard to explain, i almost feel like i have no connect with god.
How do i become a "better" christian?
i suppose thats what im asking.

If your church has a choir try joining. I'm no great singer but I sang in the choir when I was in the Army and it helped me so much, especially when I was feeling lost or afraid. At first I only sang on stage with the whole choir and it felt great to be up there singing His praises, but then I started singing or even just humming the songs everywhere! In the barracks, during training, even during live fire exercises and it really made me ,and some of the other men, feel more energized, motivated, and dedicated.

I just got my car serviced and they told me that I needed to replace my brakes, front and back. I asked them how much it would cost and they told me about 450 dollars. Well that is a lot of money for me because I only work part time and I rent an appartment. Does anyone know if they are trying to rip me off or is this the normal price that they charge to replace brakes?

Check for a Just Brakes location near you. $99.88 to replace pads and shoes, machine rotors and drums, and check the balance of the brake system for any other problems. If there ARE other problems they can fix those as well at a very reasonable price. If you can, get a list of all the work you need done and drop it in my inbox or e-mail and I'll see if you're geting a deal or the shaft.

Preferably someone in the UK answer this please, as I need to know about the laws here - if I am in the company of somebody smoking marijuana, am I breaking the law? Basically, I don't smoke it but sometimes if I go to my friends' rooms (I'm at uni) they will be. It doesn't bother me. But if they were found out and the room was raided while I was there, would I be in trouble too?

Wrong place at the wrong time. If you were there you would be taken into custody, tested for marijuana usage, and they would find it in your system because of second hand smoke. If you'd rather not be put in prison I would recommend hanging out with your friend only when he isn't using drugs, or better yet drop him completely.
