Q: 23/f my holidays were ruined.... when my chritmas tree fell................on me. i was rushed to the hospital but they were unable to get out all of the pine needles. i do smell like a car freshener, but the pain where the trunk hit me wont go away. i have been recomended for a therapudic setion to get over the terror but i couldn't pay for it becuase of the hospital bill, so i decided to use my computer to ask before i had to sell it..... how should i get the pine needles out? and, while im at it, how do i stop smelling like a car freshener...... and which pain reliever should i use?

Well you should take a shower and use asprin-trix. Or ask your doctor for Highdacodon. Its a pain realever and it works like magic. Also were LOTS os calone ( Even tho car freshener smells good)

Q: Ok, well I heard this one person say "I think he was hitting up on me". What does 'hitting up' mean?? If it helps, the person who said it was a guy in high school, a junior I think. He might have been joking around or something like that though, because it kind of sounded like it, but I couldn't tell. Anyways, all I wanna know is what it means. I rate.

Hitting on you means like he likes you or he was flirting with you. He was trying to make some sort of remark as for you to to hook up anf be b/f and g/f

Q: My friend cuts herself. And it really scares me she talks about killing herself sometimes. Like she thinks no one would miss her. Sometimes I wanna kill myself too but I realize how many people would miss me. But she doesn't seem to realize that. She doesn't cut herself often like she only did once but I am just scared it might become a habit. What should I do? And its not that serious enough to tell anybody yet and she would get really mad if I told anyone. I don't plan on doing anything until it gets worse like i see marks on her arms. What should I do to keep her happy and keep her not thinking about killing herself? I'm so scared right now please help me! I rate High and leave comments too!

Well I know she would get mad but you need to tell someone. I would rather have a mad friend than a dies friend. You need to tell someone fast. Also when she is talking about killing herself talk abput all the good times she had and all the people that would miss her. I think she needs to get counciling!

Q: This is so embarrassing but i feel like my breath smells really bad all the time... i brush and use listerine twice a day and still cant get rid of it. Is there any good products out there or any suggestions on what to do? I don't think gum would help that much.
Thanks

Well some people are just that way. You can try by useing a spiecal tooth paste givin to you by your dentist. just ask him for it!

Q: How do you ask a guy out without making it seem like your completly stupid? Like, how do you make it come up in a conversation? because I'm talking to this boy online, and I really like him, and we're awesome friends, and I want to know how he feels about me. How do I do it? None of my friends will do it for me because they say thats "cheating"

Well first of all it is not good to date over the internet, But if you really like him then You should start my saying like are you interested in oneline dating then ask "how do you feel about me" Most guys like it when the girl asks them out. But to be sure you should get to know him as best as you can!

Q: f/13
what are some good ways to get a guy to like you? i need some real good ways. what do guys like about the girls they like. How can i get guys to like me? i rate really high! PLEASE HELP!

Well one way you can get guys to like you is by like going to dances and make lots of friends. Also you should like maybe sit with them at lunch or something. Guys like the type of girls that talk back to them some times. also be funny and tell jokes. I like the way my g/f treats other people. She acts really nice and she always helps me when I am in a probablem

Q: I was at a friends party. We started playing 7 Minutes In Heaven. Well, my best friends BF, who we'll call Phil, was there. Well, I had been crushing on Phil for a long time and they dared me to make-out with him for 7 mins. Well, I made a dumb move. I did it. Well, later, when my BFF, who we'll cal Diane, Diane asked Phil back out earlier that night and he said yes. Well Phil told Diane he ust kissed me on the cheek so she wouldnt get mad cause he reaaaallly likes me. Well, she broke ^ with him. she was gonna sk him back out but he spilled: EVERYTHING Well, she called me, totally pissed. And I have tried everything apologizing trying to talk to he. She hates me. WHAT DO I DO?! ~*~ Alyssa ~*~

Well what you should do is tell her that Phil didn't tell you that they were going out. Also you should make phil tell her that too.

Q: Im 14/f. Theres this guy I have been talking to online for about 6 months, I know him from school and first started talking to him when he liked my friend to set them up. Well we've been talking for a while, and he doesnt like my friend (never did) and he recently said he wanted to talk more at school and asked me why i never said hi to him in the halls. And yeah... I've fallen for him. Hes really smart, and although he is a lot shorter then me hes got a great personality. But theres one catch, he smokes weed. Not just once in a while. A LOT of weed. 1. Do you think hes interested in me (please be honest) and 2. Is it ok to go out with a potsmoker (does it taste bad kissing.. etc.?)
Thanks!

well most pot smokers dont like anyone. They use the gf/bf to get them weed. Also ya it is bad me might start asking you if you wont some. and it taste SUPER BAD when you kiss and he will have it in his close and it will smell realy bad

Q: so. my best friend introduced me to a guy she dated about a year ago.He ended up falling for me, and then he got me to fall for him. and..we were in love. Seriously. The feeling is just to hard to explain. We basically did everying except sex, and oral sex. I look back on it, and it makes my skin crawl. So, he ended it with me about a month ago, and he let me down pretty hard. It hurt so bad, but then I found out what an ass hole he was. (He cheated on my best friend) I'm finally over him, but the problem is, sometimes, when I'm alone I can't stop thinking about him, and it makes my cry so hard. I just can't forget how he made me feel. I hate it because I'm dating someone else now, who is so great, and treats me so much better. I feel unfaithful almost. What can I do to forget him!? I'm 15, and a girl...obviously. Rarr! I can't handle this!

Well just remember how much of a dick he was and keep on saying i deserve better, over and over again. also talk to your best friend and ask her how she got over it

Q: okay i've been telling this guy i like him and he's been showing interest! one of my good friend's says he likes me because well she talked to him! and everyone in my class is telling me that he likes me! we are talking more and i aam getting to know him better! any ideas for him and i to move forward and maybe move into a relationship?! people say i flirt like crazy and especially him! what else can i do?!

Well maybe ask if you too wont to study together afyer school or something. Another good thing you could do is maybe invite him to places that you and your friends are going to be going later. And if everyone is saying that he likes you just ask him out on a date just the 2 of you

Well you need to tell the bf that he needs to get his lazy butt up and help with the baby. He can have this other girl but he needs to help you with the baby. Tell him to take him/her on weekends for something. Also maybe tell your friend what a great job she is doing helping you. And if the bf doesn't wont to help take it to court and at least make him pay child suport or something.

Q: Hello. Um, I have a problem with this guy who lives in my neighborhood. Everyday he harasses me sexually. I've tried telling the police, but they said without hard evidence they couldn't do anything. I'm sort of a feminist, so something like this shouldn't be a problem for me. But, I'm too afraid to tell my friends or family. I'm 16 and he's like, 25. So, I know it's illegal.
What should I do?

Well you need to tell someone Older than you, Mayde like a teacher or someone. And you need to tell someone FAST. cases like these can turn out into rape at the end. Also you can have the cops watch you as you go thew your day, at least that is how it is here. But if this guy is really bothering you you need to tell someone FAST!

Q: my exbf just broke up with me and now im looking for people. well i didnt know this till yesterday but i met his cousin and his cousin was flirting with me and i was flirting back. his cousin even knew i was his exgf but he still flirted but i didnt know so i didnt think i was doing something wrong. now i feel like im doing something wrong! can i go out with my ex's cousin?!?! im so confused and his cousin seems intrested in me and he knows a couple things i never told any1 bfore. is it right to go out with him? i really like him and i know he likes me so please tell me or should we just stay friends? i think my exbf would get mad but he broke up with me. kk

thnx

signed,

CONFUSED

Well if his cuz broke up whith you you can date anyone you chose. And if he jets mad tell him that he cant decide who you go out with. Also if you dont think it is right then you might not wont to go out with this guy. But you might just think its wrong because he is your ex's cuz. First you need to find out what you think is happening then make your move!

Q: Im going to get a root canal in about a few weeks and im REALLY terrified and scared!! I just went to the dentist today and they drilled my teeth, gave me 2 shots, put a dam on my mouth and pulled out the NERVES! The worst part was the dam adn the shots. Anyways I just want to know waht a root canal feels like and if it hurts on 1 - 10 and if you know any sites that tells about them. Please if you have had a root canal answer if you havent dont because I dont want the wrong information.

I would give it about a 6. But it onlt last for about 2 hours. After you get it you should feel that much pain after the first few days of getting it. Like most pain it gets softer and softer until you cant feel it!

Q: I just got spacers about 4 hours ago. I felt just a pinch when I got them on but now they hurt so much I cannot bite down. On Jan. 12 I will be getting braces. I am wondering are they going to hurt more then the spacers, and how can I relieve the pain. Thanks in advance.

Well for me they hurt a lot more. But before you go and get them tighted you can take some like tilanal or some sort of pain killer. That helps most of the time. Also with the spacers that will go away soon!

Q: what is a birthday suit?

It means that your naked they call it that because You were born naked but some people dont like to say naked so they say birthday suit

Q: ok well I don't know why (then again I do), but I feel numb.....Like my feelings... I like this guy, but he likes my best friend, yet, he wrote "I love you" on my planner.... SO I was confused about it.... I need to figure out y my feelings feel numb (that sounds odd) so if u could help I would appreciate it thanks

Shorty~

You feel like that because you might think that your not ready to like this person. Or you might feel like that because you like this person but are not sure. And the "I love you" Might just be a joke. you should ask him. And if you do like him then ask him out that might make the feeling go away!
