♥♥♥♥♥♥
The name is Leah. I live in Cincinnati, OH. I really love to give advice! I have been here since November of 2004. But prior to joining here, I was always been seeked for advice. Still to this day, my primary concern is always helping someone out in need.

I am likely not the best columnist here, but I can quarantee I am very dedicated and concerned when I answer a question. If I answer a question you're not satisfied with, I will ask why, so I can try my best to change my answer. I only give people information that I know; not information that I might know. And if I notice a columnist giving you a wrong answer, you'll know I'll be correcting their response!!

I do allow everyone and anyone to ask a question. I may have listed favorite categories, but I really have no preference. I do love making new friends!! It's no problem to contact me by e-mail or IM. I do have a Myspace, and I will gladly give it out if asked! If you ever need advice, if you feel like ending it all, if you feel like no one cares, I am here!! Talk to me.. I will listen and I will help you!!

so i like this guy, but he likes this girl and shes preppy but really ugly. what i mean by preppy is that she is a label whore. how do i make this guy realize we are perfect for each other?

I'd just get over him and find someone else. You can't make anyone do anything.

Only thing you can do is contact MSN, and will ask verification such as your name, your address and such.

And first, are you sure it has nothing to do with your cookies? Try disabling it and try again.

Hi I am 18 years old female. I have taken one a teen advantage, one a day womens, and now I am currently taking centrum womens multivitamin. And each one after a few hours my stomach gets terrible cramps. I taken them with food. I've tried taking them in the morning in the after noon and at night, but the same thing always happens. What i am asking is what is the best multivitamin to take for a sensitive stomach?
Thank you!

I had a friend who experienced this. She had nausea real bad, and went to her Doctor about it. He recommended her to take Flinstones vitamins, which she did. Now she is doing fine.

so i know its still its still possible for a woman to get her period if she's pregnant and that it just might be delayed. But does the period still come with cramps and being bloated and is it still as heavy? in other words, could a woman mistake that period if she's pregnant, with a normal period? or is it less heavy and not as long?

Periods while pregnant would look lighter and wouldn't last long. Heavier blood-loss could mean a possible miscarriage or you're not pregnant period.

19female.

i'm on birth control, have been for about 3 yrs now. i was put on it by my doctor. well just about a yr ago i was put on a medication for my anxiety disorder. i've heard that medication basically cancels out your birth control. is this true? wouldn't you think my doctor would have told me this when she prescribed my medication, because she is the one i went to for both my bc and the medication.

Your Doctor would have told you if it did.

And to my understanding, many psychotics, antianxiety and antidepressants don't cancel out birth control. I do know some antibiotics do.

For full assurance, I would call up your Doctor or Pharmacist. They'd tell you.

If your on the pill, use a condom and pull out before he cums what are the chances you'd get pregnant?

Very little chance.

I know this isn't about sex but i didn't no what to put it under lol.


So I think Obama should have never became president
I think hi is an idiot.

So i want to know people who did vote for him why you did what were your reasons?
Cause if you think hes ganna pay for your bills and provide for you hes not.

I just wanna know everyones reason for why they voted for him or why you didn't vote for him.
Also a lot of people including me, Think he manly won cause he is black and i think if that is true witch i think it is i think thats wrong.
My resons are because I think racism is wrong and if people vote for him only because he's black just means your being racist. Now you might note be but your basing your decision on the color of his skin i and i think thats horriable.
I bet if he was a white man he would not of one or he wouldn't of one for the reasons he did.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS OVENSIVLY IM JUST SPREEDING MY OPINION ON WHAT I BELIEVIE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE OR THINK.

I have nothing against Obama nor McCain, but Obama was voted only because the media liked him.. and I don't wanna write a novel on how or why.

I am more republican, and seeing Obama becoming president was a bad move for America. His, "yes we can" is false advertisement, because he just made our economy worse, and I don't think McCain can really make it better either. I voted for McCain, because I feel he would know more about the government than Obama.

I am not racist; I love people of all races and ethnicities; but really either of them can do a great job, they just need to make the right choices.

My opinion put simply. Too much controversy on this topic. I know some schools will have voting ballets so you can vote [but it won't count], yet it's tallied and is put into statistics like a real vote. Next time, vote. But right now, stop bitching about it.

I'm so beyond overwhelmed with my college work. I have a difficult major that requires a lot of studio time to build models and projects. That alone could easily take up my time but then I have to take the core classes too which have nothing to do with my major. I'm so exhausted because I don't sleep much because I'm up late doing projects and papers. Everyday from the moment I wake up until the moment I fall asleep I'm doing work stopping only twice to eat. So thats from 8am-11pm everday, 6 days a week.


I don't know what to do. I'm on the edge of crying because I just can't take it and it's only September.

If I were you, I would look into making you part-time rather than full-time. If the work is too much, I would suggest that and/or go see your advisor for tha major and he/she can help you.

College is nothing but hardwork and sleepless nights, but you should never be that overwhelmed to cry. 6 days a week is way too much. Is there any way to cut it down by a day or two?

I am sure you can take some route, you always can, you just need to find the right resources. If you don't know your advisor, I would contact someone in your major department about help.

Good luck and I am sure you will be okay. Just hang in there =]

On friday 9/11/09 I was sitting on my couch web surfing and watching t.v. all of a sudden i started to feel tired and lightheaded. Well I thought ok let me put my laptop down and relax for a little but then I fot so dizzy it was as if I was on a fast merry go round ride. I got nausea and pain in my neck and just plain like I was dying. When the dizziness slowed down I went to lay down for a while but the room kept spinning. All of a sudden I got really hungry but still very nausea. I got a peice of bread as I tried to eat the bread I was shaking and feeling my lips and cheek numb and tingly and cold rushes on my face. I went back and layed down cause my head started to hurt really bad and fell asleep. Since then I feel lightheaded and headache and very tired. Also the following day all my musles on my left side of my body was so sore as if I was exercising. No cold sweets but I was very cold. I am still puzzled on what could have it been.

You can never be too sure whether or not you're having a heart attack.

If at all you think you are, or something just isn't right, I would definitely contact your Doctor or send yourself to the ER.

If this really is a heart attack, I would not delay. I would totally contact someone if I were you ASAP.

Hi i'm 18 years old female and I was wondering which birth control pill do you prefere? I have been doing research on Yaz and Sprintec. I really like yaz but it is really expensive compared to sprintec so I was wondering it it worth the extra money or is Sprintec just as good?
Thank you!

I never tried Sprintec, but only recommend Yaz if you have have moderate acne and PMDD; not mild acne and PMS.

Ingredients in Yaz would help with severe symptoms prior to your period.

I did take Yaz, and it worked for me. Only side effect I had was moodiness because of the hormones.

You will rarely find a cheap birth control. And if you need any budget help, a clinic may help you. I would maybe look into that and see what contraceptive they will recommend you for.

A famous clinic is planned parenthood. I'd try them, and see what they say. If you are insured, I would go to a Doctor instead. I wouldn't recommend getting one you may think is okay. A doctor would know more about what is right for you than you are.

I'd see someone before you choose first.

Okay so i got out of the shower like five minutes ago. I felt like a knot or a lump or something in the lip of my vagina. I don't know what it is. If i push on it, it hurts. Please help if you have any idea what it is. Im scared.

It could be a cyst or a boil.. they are both bumps that are extremely painful.

I'd keep putting warm compresses on it, and if it doesn't get better in a few days I would see a Doctor to check it out and give you antibiotics.

Don't be scared; it happens a lot.

so im making this cd mix for my friend and he lieks country and i like rap. and i know the song Over and Over again by Nelly feat. Tim McGraw. but are there any other songs like that with a rapper and country artist?? ?

Okay, so I have been not feeling right lately. I went tot he doctor, I had had strep, I was on meds, then I got off. I was still feeling bad, so I went back to the doctor, and they said it was just stress, but I have a hunch that it's wrong. Here are symptoms.
- Energy-wise, I have been about 80% energetic.
- I get horrible stomach pangs if I don't eat often.
- If I get up suddenly, I can't see anything: it's all black, and it goes away in about 20 seconds.
- Sometimes I feel nauseous.
- Once, I had a sharp, shooting pain underneath my tongue and down the front of my throat. It was really weird.

Any suggestions for what may be up? Or am I just crazy?

Thanks!

It stills seems like to stress to me.

The effect of sleeping, eating, energy, nausea, and brief blindness, would all seem like a lot of stress to me.

Just don't think it's all TMJ, either. Only a Doctor could tell you if you have it. If you ever need a second opinion I would seriously recommend going to another Doctor. That sometimes helps. Insured or not, that can always be arranged. Contact your physician's office for more informationm, or go to another clinic or practice.

I didn't know I was going to have to take a pee test immeadiately when I started my new job. I drank Wednesday night and I will be taking the test around 1-2pm today (Friday). That'll be around 37 hours since I last drank. That's enough time right? I've been drinking good ammounts of cranberry juice/water and taking cranberry pills to flush out my system. Also, I don't smoke weed but I'm around it occasionally and was on Wednesday. I didn't get close enough to inhale any smoke but I was in the room as someone was smoking. Could just being around it cause there to be traces of it in my pee? jw. Thanks.

Yeah, you're totally okay. They won't find any trace of alcohol or marijuana in the test.

Okay so it's been like a week or more that I started bleeding. At first it was barely any (i'm usually a very heavy bleeder) and now it's bleeding a lot. I am on birth control but it was working fine until now and i've been taking it right. It was also kind of brown at first and i'm having bad cramps now. Does anyone know what's going on? I'm confused about it because it was right on time the last time and if I'm been taking it right I'm pretty sure this is weird. Plus it's lasted for a long time. Thanks.

Girls experience weird periods all the time even when you're on contraceptives. That is actually normal.

I wouldn't worry unless you're bleeding a lot of blood (changing pads every hour), cramping very bad, and/or period is lasting more than 2 weeks.

But for now you're okay.

i am 13 an latley i have been watchin alot of shows on the t.v about pregnancy it sounds strange i no but i would really like a baby now but i wouldnt if you no wot i mean i wouldnt wont one as i am 13 and still live with mom but i would because it would make me feel like i had something of my own to love i dont wont to tell my mom this because im scared she will just have ago at me and wont understand

It's normal to think about having a baby at your age. It's a phase many girls go through. But a baby isn't like a doll you buy at the toystore. They need food, baths, clothes, shelter, and toys to interact with. You don't pull a string, for them to ask you for food.

Babies are very expensive -- thousands of dollars a year, and it gets worse with every year you go. Not to scare you, but you'll take up all your funds (even college funds) just to take care of the baby. You're likely just in middle school, no job, and no money. Is that really a life for the kid?

I really prefer getting a puppy or a kitten. Pick one up at the shelter because they really need some love and care, just like a baby. I am sure you can negotiate with your mom about getting a puppy. They can be pricey but very cheap compared to an actual baby.

How about consider for a kid when you're married, have a nice job (financially stable), and live in a nice house.

I know a baby seems like a solution, but it's only going to add to the problem. Please do this for yourself and your family, and not have a kid just yet.

So, I'm going into my senior year in less than two weeks. All summer, I thought, it's senior year, I don't give a crap about my classes and who I'm friends with and hang out with. But now, since it's starting soon and schedules just came, I'm getting a little anxious about that stuff and I'm actually caring. Also, I feel like if I don't have classes with some of friends I'm gonna grow apart from them. Uggh, I always feel like that little bit of time right before school starts is kind of stressful, why is that? Anyone else feel this way? Senior year is supposed to be somewhat carefree

Going through my senior year, it was the important year of my high school career. You have college to think about, it's time to bring up those grades, maybe get into some clubs or activities to spiff up your school record for college.

In some aspects senior year can be carefree. You're now who the underclassmen looks up to -- so be the role model.

I had no classes with my friends my senior year, but with the school's curriculum we had to take the same subjects as a graduation requirement; therefore we'd always meet before or after school socializing and helping out with each other's homework.

One of the things to keep it fun, is to attend your senior prom and homecoming. Volunteer in some activities during school. In my school, seniors were able to skip class to volunteer for activities that occured during school.

If you're thinking about college, it would be time to talk to your college counselor about applying and such. What you'll need, and what you can do to make your chances greater of getting in. Don't wait until the last minute, because I did. Don't make your senior year more stressful that it needs to me. Get your work in on time, and speak to your counselor once a month about college.

It's okay to feel nervous too. I did as well. But after your first few days, things will settle down, and you'll later enjoy the experience.

I hope I helped at least in some ways. It is your senior year; so make it fun! =]

Sometimes I am in a situations where I need 2 forms of picture ID. So I was going to get a state ID to go with my drivers license. I was just informed by the DMV though, that if you have a Drivers license you can't have a state ID...it's on or the other. So I am wondering, if you don't want to take your passport around, and you don't get a photo ID with your job...then what else are you supposed to use as a secondary form of picture ID, is there some legal ID that I just don't know about? Thank you for your answers.

You can always use your school ID, or some businesses give you an ID card there.

A lot of times [in my situations] they can tell you to bring 2 forms of picture ID, or you can give them your social security card instead. Ask the person responsible in that situation for alternatives -- they should let you.

Is there really a Michael Jackson movie coming out? Mom said it was coming out in October for only two weeks in theatres everywhere. Is she just pulling my leg since I totally love Michael Jackson or is it for real?

It seems to me there really is a movie coming out.
