My friend and I want to cheer next year REALLY badly. There's a couple of things.

One, we have to go to camp to have a chance at the squad, and we need $600. how do we get $600 in 3 or 4 months?

Two, most of the people there are experienced for at least 1 year. I have no cheer experience. Any thoughts to improve/learn?

Three, the thing we do have going is that we've been dancing for 10 years. We thought that might help. How can we incorporate that to help?

Four, we have no experience, like I said, just dancing. How can we learn at no cost?

Any other advice?

Thanks! (link)
Well you dancing for ten years is a big plus! Cheerleading is definately about precision, tight moves. So work on the general things that you see cheeleaders do. Can can kicks, splits, flips, roundhouses. Things of that nature. A good show to watch is dallas cowboys cheerleading camp shows on CMT channel. Also there are instructional tapes that you can get at the library so you don't have to pay. Money? I will go with the same carwashes etc. But also try checking with the cheerleading camp to see if they have any ideas! Good luck! You will be great! Much Love!

I have a Motorola RAZR cell phone using Verizon iNPulse (prepay). Just recently my phone has been acting up. The screen fades, freezes, and im unable to see anything. My girlfriend has a Motorola RAZR as well but it was set up using a family contract plan. She now has a Envy2 and no longer uses the RAZR.

I'm wondering if I'm able to switch her old contract phone and switch it to a prepay phone using my prepay account. I tried using the verizon site to do the switch but her phone has a longer DEC: # and won't allow me to enter all the numbers.

Answer to question 1. I do believe you can use an env2 with prepaid service call *611 to be sure or check online at verizonwireless.com
Answer to question 2. Esn numbers come in 3 formats. DEC is all numbers I do believe 11 digits. HEX has letters and numbers together totally about 9 digits. Then MEID which will start A000000. Any of those should work but prepaid you might have to call custiomer care to change phones or get replacement options. Also make sure your friend doesn't owe money on that phone and didn't report it lost or stolen hope that helps! Much Love!


my so thinks its funny to pull his pants down and show his privates to his friends, including to the little girls his age. we have tried grounding him but that doesn't seem to work, we even spanked him bare bottom since he likes to take his pants down so much. we are trying to teach him good behavior, but he doesn't seem to listen. what should we do. (link)
Well firstly take a breath because he's not exhibiting violent behavior at his age. It can be one or both of two things. 1. He has questions about sex and his body and he is trying to express those feelings. Keep in mind he's 7 and his frontal lobes are not fully formed. Frontal lobes take care of reasoning and planning skills. Or he's looking for attention fro you guys as parents. Don't feel bad!just try having the sex talk with him. I know scary but think of it as an opportunity to inject the values that you would like for you to have in him. Also keep in mind we live in a world where sex sells. He's being hit with sex everyday on TV in school everywhere. Have that talk with him and try it again if you already has before some1 else does and then you're on Maury show trying to figure out if he's the father or worse! Much Love!


ok so i asked this question a few months ago (http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=557281.) . if you dont wanna read it; basically my bff and her bf had been going otu for 2 months and he obv didnt like her as much as she liked him, he was tagging along everwhere, he had a boring personality, and she acted much more not herself around her friends when he was around.

see, shes still going out with him. my other best friend and i (this girl is her best friend, too) confronted her a few weeks ago because we just couldnt take it anymore, we hate this kid soo much. and you were right. she said she was really happy right now and she didnt want to mess things up, but she listened to what we had to say and let us sound off. shes a great friend and we totally let it all out, uncensored, and she understood our opinions, didnt think we were jealous.

thing is its been nearly 5 months and im ready to rip my head off. i havent had one on one time with my bff in months, since early february. (and i have no classes, lunches, whatever with her in school). its partly because we're busy but partly because her weekends are filled with boyfriend time.

im happy shes happy but i cant standd this kid. hes rude in the way that he ignores us (her friends) when we're around, ive given up even trying to make conversation with him because it gets nowhere. there are no positive qualities in him whatsoever. and this is really damaging my bffs and mine friendships. what should i do?

thanks so much, i really apprecaite it, and sorry for the length:) (link)
I was in a similar situation! I hated my bff's boyfriend because he was an a-hole to her and a liar But here's what I found out no matter what I said as her friend she had to see the situation 4 what it was on her own. Basically there's nothing you can do but be her friend and be there for her and it super sucks! To you ole boy is not the truth but something he is doing feels right for her and really its not his responsibility to make sure you guys as her bff's are happy just your friend. So try planning a girls day w/out him and try to keep it going so you can spend time with your friends w/out males.that will help! But in the meantime its a grin and bear it type situation. I'm sorry honey! Much Love!


Heyy I just bought the LG Keybo 9100 today (March 22 2009) from Koodo. I got the 50 minutes & 50 texts. Does that mean it starts all over again on April 22nd or April 1st?

Thank you in Advance (link)
Either 4/23/ or 4/22 depends. Call customer service and they can tell you


right so i finnaly broke it off with my asshole "freind" (im 17 and a guy) he annoys me so much i hate HATE HATE!!!! him... he never took no for an answer i was allways wrong, even when i proved him wrong he started calling me shit. he's still trying to argue with me even though i told him to bite the big one.

apparently "im one in a million, his best friend" the bull shit sick list goes on and on... how do i tell him to leave me the f*** alone and then make him actually do it. he's like a super strength magnet that wont piss off when you want him to god damn he makes me mad
(link)
Tell him 1 last time to as you say leave me the fuck alone. Say clearly I don't want to talk to you. And then stand by your word and don't do it. Just because people call you doesn't mean you have to answer it. Or could it be that you really don't want that and maybe after you think about it some, you won't be so mad anymore. Real friends are hard to comeby is all I'm saying so make sure if you tell him to piss off you are really sure that's what you want! Much Love!


alright well, this is about my boyfriend and im not him so i will just state the problem to you as well as i can haha well me and my boyfriend have never had sex. we were dating for 3 months then broke up. we are back together now but the week after we broke up he said he wasnt attracted to hot girls anymore. like he said a girl could have been naked in front of him and he wouldnt have got hard. and this is not like him at all because he has had sex plenty of times before we started dating. then the other day when he was eating me out he said all he wanted to do was have sex but he couldnt get hard. this has never happened before and it started all of a sudden right after we broke up. could he have Erectile dysphunction? or an STD? or is it because he was having so much sex before but had none for 3 months? i dont know what it could be but im trying to help him out here (link)
Its one of a couple of things. But really to know I would need to know why you guys got back to know.He's not feeling you anymore, he had an off day and lil guy didn't want to cooperate, drugs like cocaine can make it difficult for males to get an erection at times, I've seen X give the same effect. Too much sex in the same day can also do it. About the STD's get checked and use condoms!


I am 20/f my father moved out a year ago and things didnt end on a good note. I am in a very HAPPY 3 year realtionship. My sister just moved out and i live at home alone with my mother. I do not have any friends that I go out with so the only times I go out I go with my bf and his friends which isnt a problem because i like his friends. I just watched a movie called I Love You, Man. Its about a guy who doesnt have any friends and his fiance is woried he may become too clingy. I have that worry. I worry that I will drive my bf away or I will make him dislike things about it. Because of this worry or fear I tend to sometimes be emotional and cry infront of him. I do not like to let him see me cry I want him to never see the empty sad side of me. Me and my sister don't really ahve a friendship and me and my mom have NO realtionship. She is over clingy because she has no one, even though she has friends who want ot go out with her she doesnt want to, she just wants to be with her daughters and will ask me and my sister for permission to go out. She annoys me, she eats with her hands, chews really loud talks with her mouth full, IS CLINGY and always wants a phone call morning and evening to know where we are who we are with and what we are doing. I am afraid she may be the very reason I feel so UCK! When i was young i never went out much, my motehr didnt let me, I tried to join sports teams so i could get out and she wouldnt allow it. I blame her for not having good friends now and I just want to move out and live on my own, especially now that I have seen how happy my sister is, Im jealous. I am also going to school in september to work with kids and hopefully that will help. I need advice on how to fill my Empty hole. I speak to my boyfriend about this situation so much I don't want him to worry about me or our relationship. I don't want to talk about it with him anymore, there is nothing he can do. I don't even know what my question is. I just want opinions and thoughts on my situation. Please just tell me whta you think I should do!!!!! (link)
Firstly, Calm down and take a deep breath and let me and you process this. Your mom, your sister, your boyfriend yor dad, all these people all I hear about you is a negative emotion or feeling. So what makes you feel good and I mean you! Not any of the above people you! For example, when I am the happiest is when I sing karaoke! I know silly right! But I do it for me because I love it. Its absoutely ok for you to be you and take some time for you where you can turn your phone off and in that moment you are your only responsibilty! Its ok! If your empty how can you truly give love to your bf? Or your sister or your mom? Its ok to take some time for you! Take some time and think about your life and what you would like to do with your life! Become responsible for the way you feel! Its ok and that I promise you! And next time you talk to your bf, try not to cry but explain how you feel and ask him for a solution. Men are very solution based! If he loves you he will help you with a solution so you feel better. And maybe try and help mom feel the same way, so she will try and have a life outside you but know she loves you. And maybe try and help her with the chewing thing cuz yea.... But Much Love, take time for you! And that's an order! :)


so i guess the title for this question wasnt a very nice one haha but it got you reading it. well i do love my boyfriend to death we have been dating for 6 months. im 16 hes 15. theres just a few small problems. everything will be going fine, then sudenly a few weeks ago he wanted to take a break. all the lovey dovey stuff stopped n he really didnt seem to care about me anymore. well now we are back together and all the lovey dovey stuff has started again. he says he loves me more than anything. thats what he said before the breakup too. most days he is great and i love him so much. i couldnt imagine being with another guy. but some days he is in the worst mood and he will practically ignore me. i really try to help him out and i put up with so much stuff just for him. he is very outgoing so its not like him to be quiet and i always think its something i did. but he gets in different moods all the time. is he bipolar? he acts completely normal other than the mood swings and is captain of the football and lax team. hes popular and a really funny guy. but he also has told me that he hears voices in his head. he doesnt act like its a big deal and yesterday a voice told him to jump off a building. he obviously didnt listen haha but he doesnt act like his mental problems effect him much but the break and his mood swings make me think maybe they do. i dont want him to start listening to these voices in his head or go crazy one day. and i dont want his bipolar watever you want to call it mood swings, to effect are relationship either. i know he has suffered from depression and possibly still is. but he acts like hes the happiest guy in the world. you would never guess. does he have schizophrenia or bipolar or something else? any advice? (link)
Maybe he is a tad off...hopefully he's not goin to that extent just 2 get u 2 leave him alone. At least tell him 1rst that you are worried about him so when u do go tell someone a counselor or cool school teacher he won't get super defensive. But don't be afraid 2 say something to him about how he is acting and let him know you are there to help.


Theres dis guy he said he loved me we was hangin out everyday for like a month then he stoped talkin to me he called me like 3 days ago which was the first time in like 3 months he did dis stuff b4 we would get close then he would stop talkin to me then he would get a gf then when he broke up wit her he would call me im in love wit him should i keep talkin to him it hurts every time he does it makes me cry wat should i do Thanks 4 any advice (link)
Sorry my dear but no he doesn't. He didn't love the other girls either. He's just having fun! Guys will say they love you just to keep you chasing after them and keep you from messing with someone else because then you might actually have a man treat you right and then you will have no time for him. Honestly he's got you locked up 2 where he knows he can say he loves you w/out any regard to your feelings and still go out basically slutting around.Why would he change his game plan? Guys like that don't have any idea of what they want out of their own life let alone a relationship. When a man loves you not only will he profess it to you and any1 that will listen but also try and protect you, make sure no1 hurts you and provide for you even if its just a trip to the store. Or him giving you the last of the fries because your still hungry. But really is this the way you want to be loved? I don't think so and I'm betting that you deserve better. He will not treat you the way you want unless you teach him! Next couple times he calls you don't answer him! Then see how he starts acting! Try it! Much Love!


So theres this guy I recently met from my biblestudy group.
When I first met him he was really cute and was always looking at me,
But whenever I catch him he looks away.
When the group was over, He started talking to me, and asked me for my number, so I gave it to him and he texted me that very night.
I texted him back and we talked for a bit, he asked me if I was going to group next week and I told him I was, and he said great.
So I saw him yesterday at the group, and again he was always smiling at me, and when we went around to pray (pray circle)he stod right behind me, tapped my shoulder and kept trying to make me laugh. which he did. He gave me playful pushes and when we were outside, talked to me quiet a bit. after it ended he texted me somtime after, then told me he had to tell me somthing, and I asked what, he said He thought I was 'really' cute. (whats up with the lines? 'really'?)
and that he really wanted to tell me that. he gets irritated if I dont text him back right away and is like, fine iggnore me :(
and I'm like.. I just texted you back.
and he's like no i was just kidding..
I told him he must attract all the other girls and he said no he doesnt,
(but he could be lying.) but he said I must, and That I would have got his attention.. I dont know, Maybe hes just a player.
I dont know if he just started talking to me beacuse I was paying attention to this other guy whenever we go and he's always trying to get my attention.. is it beacuse he likes me, or do players do this all the time? PLEAASEE HELP ! (link)
I can tell by your question you've been hurt by some1 b4 and also that he's diggin you. Now how to find out if he's a player, watch his interactions with other girls in the group and watch how they react 2 him. If he seems a little 2 close to one of them, he could be. But honestly you won't find out if he's a player until you hang out with him outside church group and spend more time talking 2 him. If he is he's gonna try and hide it. So its all about if you're willig to spend the time trying to find out.


Hey!
So yesterday i randomly friend requested this guy who is friends with my guy friend because i thought he was really cute lol and he seemed familiar. turns out we know eachother through some people and I have met him like once (but i dont really remember haha)
anyways we talked over messaging for like 2 hours and he seems really cool. I know this is a stretch but i maybe want to possibly go to prom with him or see if something happens (i know this probablly wont happen im not getting my hopes up) but i dont know if i should message him again tonight or wait? or how i should approach this? (link)
Well if he talked to you for 2 hours, more than likely he's feelin you. So my advice is don't msg him back 2nite, wait a couple days and see uf he hits you up. Now if not in 3 days send him a msg and say what's up. If the second round of conversation goes well mention something about your prom and see how he responds. Something like "yea I was online today looking at prom dresses" if he asks you how your day was! Much Love!


It's guarantee, not garuntee. I'm sorry to call you out, I just noticed it in a lot of your responses and even in your bio. Keep up the good advice though!

LOL! Thanks! Spelling not one of my things.


if you get dred locks and you dont want them anymore do you have to shave your head?
or can u just cut your hair a little and use a shit load of conditioner er something? (link)
You can cut them out to the level of your new growth. But you don't have to shave your head.


What are some good websites that would lead me to answering why gay marriage isn't legalized yet (in the U.S.)?

It's for a research paper that I am doing for my English class, and I am completely stumped as to what sites to go to, or use. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks!!! (link)
The bible! That's what anyone that is against Gay marriage would say to you. Go to religious sites. Although to some people being gay is a dirty thing it comes down to religious beliefs and quite possibly the belief that some have which is homosexuality breeds promiscuity which is also against a lot of religious beliefs.


my cousin died a few years ago and i wanna get a tattoo for him. i'm a girl and i want it on my upper back, like my shoulder blade .. and i want it to be small but how small can they make it? i want a cross with his name and maybe some dates but i dont want it too big .. any ideas? i just dont want it to be big (link)
Try drawing or having someone draw the tattoo design and show it to the tattoo artist he/she should be able to scale the size and quote the price for you.


So ive been liking this guy for 2 years now.But recently Ive decided not to waste anymore of my time on him.So my question is...how can i forget about him fast?? I like another guy and i wanna give it a shot. (link)
I've been there and it stinks! But you are on a good path. Take it slow with the new guy give yourself a chance to heal. But start going out with friends family and people that care about you and take sometime for yourself. I say that because new guy isn't garunteed either. So taking time to pamper yourself will make it so you will approach any new situation with confidence! Guys like confident women!


hey sorry for asking again but what do i talk about? because i would know what to say or either stop talking or start ranting on about something totally stupidd ;;
thanks ..loveboys (link)
Ask me anytime :) well keep in mind I'm 26, so my question what do you like to do and what do you think he likes.if I can get that I can come up with some good start up conversation type questions.


Okay before I start this I'd just like to say that I know this is bad, but I'm looking for advice, not for people to criticize me and tell me what a horrible person I am.

So about a month ago, this guy that I was pretty friendly with told me he liked me. I'd already known this for several months, but I guess I was hoping he'd get over it so when he told me, I panicked and rejected him. After I rejected him, things got weird between us and we basically stopped talking. I hated that because I really liked talking to him since he was nice and understanding and he never judged me, and I missed it. So two days ago I decided enough was enough and I told him that. And then we started talking about when he told me he liked me, and I don't know why I did it but I convinced myself that I liked him, and I told him that. Now I realize that I JUST liked talking to him, not him. But he still likes me, and now he thinks I like him back. And I don't know what to do, because I've already hurt him and I'd really hate to have to do it again, especially since this time he got his hopes up. He's really sweet, and I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to go out with him, but I don't know. Should I tell him what I did (and break his heart), or should I just try to live with what I did and give us a chance?

By the way, 16/f. (link)
Hey it happens! You gotta be honest! Otherwise he could end up poppin out from behind your car naked on rollerblades chasin you down the street screamin "It aint over" He will be upset but give him time and he'll get over it. But you don't do it to yourself! Its a waste of your time and his. There is no point in you being with someone that your not feeling like that. A relationship should be two people growing together and fulfilling eachother. If you continue you nor him will feel fulfilled and you won't move forward because you will continue to be focused on the fact you don't like him. As my homeboy would say walk away and charge it to the game. Much Love!
