Ok here's the basics. I help people it's my thing. I'll answer all questions. Even simple ones. I give my opinion sometimes but you can ignore it.=) Im pretty nice ask me something and I'll tell you straight up!
advice
So in a nutshell my spring break sucks.My parents both lost their jobs and we have had barely enough money to eat and get gas. We're in debt with so many family members and friends .On top of that ,my boyfriend broke up with me 4-5 days ago and went on vacation .so ive basically been a mental wreck.Crying as soon as I wake up because we barely have money to get by and because im missing my boyfriend who helped me with money when he could and obviously made me happy without money.I feel guilty because ive been using the gas in my car to pickup friends,go to the beach,drive around at night..just to get me out of the house so i don't focus on my ex boyfriend.What's something less expensive I could do to just get my mind off my ex and money? because if we had a lot of money it'd be soo much easier to be happy but we dont!
You can also try getting a job. Not only will you make some money, but you can meet new people and make friends with your co-workers. I actually met my current husband at starbucks before college and although we didn't date back then we ran into each other a few years ago and things just sparked. Look around and see what you can find! It may not pay the best, but at least its something. AND it's A LOT of fun!
okay, well i just got a macbook laptop and im still learning how to use everything. i have put msn on it and i want to show people my webcam. slight problem though, i dont know how to get it working. if its possible could someone give me step by step on how to get it working :D also, im pretty bad at using computers so make the instructions as simple as possible please.
thanks XD
Unfortunately there is no type of MSN for Macbook that supports webcams. I've looked everywhere and I went to the apple store. :/ But you can always use Ichat or skype.
Is financial aid available for graduate students pursuing a master's degree? Or is it strictly for undergrads?
I'm pretty sure it depends on the college or university? You'd have to give them a call and ask them?
I have really bad allergies in the spring when trees and plants bloom out. I take allergy medicine but I still get a stupid runny nose sometimes. I use a lot of kleenex tissues but my nose seems to get a little raw feeling after awhile. Is there a way to prevent this and stop it from happening or heal it up really fast?
I usually try to wet the tissue before I blow my nose and then I get some vaseline (not lotion) and I just rub some where my nose usually gets raw. Like under my nostrils before I go to sleep. By the morning it's usually fine and my friends stop calling me Rudolf. Hope this helps. :)
I was talking with a teacher of mine about genetics and she said that true African descendants always have brown eyes. I told her that I've seen many African-Americans with blue eyes though! She suggested that both of the person's parents were not black (like one was black and the other was white/caucasian) if the eyes were any other color than brown. She also said that contacts change the eye color and that may be why I've noticed "so many" dark-skinned people with light colored eyes (and, yes, I know about contacts...just saying her point).
So, is it really possible for a dark person to have blue eyes or some other light colored eyes (like green)?
I think green is possible but I doubt blue is possible just because if you think back to Africa before it was colonized everyone had brown eyes. Like in China.
the only issue is i dont think that torrid and deb (the two plus stores in the area i live) will have swim suits in the next few weeks and i really need one now were goin on a school trip to florida and were gonna be swimming at the hotel so i need to look really good and it needs to be affordable....im looking for any suggestions as too wear to buy and or if anyone knows when torrid or deb will be putting out there swimwear lines.......thanks in advance for any suggestions

My hair is always to greasy after flat ironing it. I use baby powder to clear it up, but that never lasts for long. I shampoo often and use a clarifying shampoo. I even clean my flat iron. But when I leave it curly, there's no grease. How to I keep my hair looking straight but fresh?
Also, I don't know if you use conditioner, but if you do, don't use conditioner before straightening your hair! It leaves it greasy and oily. Shampoo strips away excess oils and along with it some of your natural oil. Conditioner replaces it. If you have oily hair don't use conditioner unless you have to and if you have to make sure not to use it anywhere but the ends of your hair. NOT ON YOUR SCALP! You shouldn't do that whether you have oily hair or not.
So, me and my boyfriend have been dating for 10 months now. We're really good with one another, and he's unlike any guy I've ever met. We have a lot of differences, which is alright by me because I couldn't live without the guy. When we started dating, he was really into getting high. He does use it responsibly, but he wants to do it for the rest of his life. He claims it inspires him to write music, play guitar, and to be spiritual. I respect this. After a month of dating, I told him that him smoking bothers me (No, he didn't do it around me, I just don't support any kinds of drugs). He quit for awhile, but now it's awkward. Every time it gets brought up we get into an arguement. I'm just not sure what to do. His friends stopped talking to him because he stopped smoking, and he doesn't do what he used to anymore. It really hurts.. but I don't know if I could handle dating someone who does drugs. Can anyone please tell me what to do? Or if marijuana is really such a bad thing? Help please.
Well think about it in the long run. Even if you can learn to live with it now will you be able to in the future? I mean sure 10 months is a long time, but years? And what happens when you have kids? Do you really want a stoner being an example of their father. Nothing against people who do use drugs but there is a reason drugs are illegal. They aren't good for you and you have no control whilst using them. If you really can't get past this and it's hurting you maybe its time to find someone who you can really share passion with in your differences. Not just learn to live with them. For example I when my boyfriend drinks and doesn't come home early to be with me. He hates fighting about me always giving him shit for hanging out with his buddies. Now he haves guys night at our house and I can come alone if I want to but I just like knowing he's in the house so I leave him alone? Do you see what I mean? there really is only a hot or cold with drugs though so maybe you should think if all this hurting and worrying is worth your boyfriend and you should think about where your relationship is going if anywhere? Hope I helped! :/ xxx
This is it. My depression this year has doubled (if that's even possible) and I really need to see my doctor about it, only that I don't like my doctor because I think that he is a dick. And most medications I've heard of requires you to be 18 and I'm only 16. I know that excercising is an alternatives but I don't have time to go out (and I'm not even loud to). I'm always busy with school work but when I'm out I tae alternatives like stairs, etc.
I don't know what I'm asking for, maybe on if you think I should talk to my doctor about it anyways. It's really hard for me to talk about because I start welling up and crying (like I am now), but I'm not talking. But if I had to, I don't think anything would come out.
And I want to keep it away from my parents but I don't know how because only they can take me to the doctors and the secretary would need to know what I need to see that doctor for. And that my parents are dumb because they think it's impossible for someone in our family to have depression and that they think that it would be something else.
Do you think you have a close friend's mom to take you? Or you can go to the doctor's with a friend's mom and just say you're meeting up with your parents or something then go to the doctor and explain to him that you're depressed and next time you come to see him you're just going to tell the nurse you have a "migraine" use a specific word. Otherwise when you really have one he'll be thrown off. Doctors are really sensitive about this stuff so don't worry. It's not like he can accuse you of not being depressed. Anyways even if he doesn't think you are most doctors just say you are MILDLY depressed. And doctors don't take talk about depression lightly so he won't just be like oh she smiled! She's not depressed! LOL. :) Also try to occupy your mind. When you have time to think, is usually when you get depressed. I know cuz I've battled with depression forever now. Go on online help groups. I'm part of many. They really make you feel appreciated and not so useless. You can call suicide hotlines. I know that sounds stupid but its actually all quite professional. I hope I helped :/ Feel better. And it's ok to cry! xxx
My brother weighs around between 210-220 pounds. I am helping him out so what are some good tips to lose weight fast within a week. What I am looking for is what foods to eat each day and how much of it. Also what excercises he can do at home to speed up the process. Also some ways to trick your body into losing more weight like for example if you excercise your upper body one day then excercise your lower body the next day, it can trick your body or something.
This may sound weird but go on bridal websites and they have meals on how to lose weight before your big day and examples and everything. (www.weddingdietplan.com) As for exercise just go for a 45 minute walk with him everyday. It's better to walk for 45 minutes than to run for 20. Start off on a FIFTEEN and I mean FIFTEEN minute run and then walk for 45 minutes.
I really am SO glad I ran into this Advicenators site and I think everybody gives pretty good advice. It beats the heck out of Yahoo Answers anyday, in my opinion! ANYWAY, I'm really curious as to how old this site actually is though. I know it is advertisted that there are some thousands of free advice columnists available here so I figure it must be a few years old or something.
Does anybody know how long Advicenators has been around?
Pure curiosity...

Hello!
I want to get a dog for my children to grow up with but I need a dog breed that is safe for kids and hopefully one that doesn't shed.
Is there such a dog?
Thank you!
Dogue de Bordeaux, LABRADOR RETRIEVER, and Newfoundland are probably the three safest dogs to go with. As for the shedding part, unfortunately all dogs shed, it can't be helped. However I found that short haired dogs seem to shed easier than long haired ones. I'd still recommend getting your daughter(if you have one) to play "barbie" with the dog and brush him gently once a day outside. Ideal if you do decide to get a short-haired dog because she won't pull at their long hair and because they won't shed everywhere. Have one room the dog can stay in during the day. My dog sleeps in the children's room at night so it's their duty to vacuum once a week. Getting a dog is a great idea. It teaches children discipline and a gentle nature. If you have any questions about dogs that are BAD with kids let me know! Safety first! Hope I helped! xxx
I know that this isn't a health forum or anything but if anyone knows anything on the topic, that'd be great. I have a freckle (it's been there FOREVER since I was little) it's in between two of my toes (on the toe next to my pinky toe) its brown, but I saw a tiny dark spot on it.. it's like dark brown. It's a very small portion but could it be skin cancer or anything serious? I know freckles aren't usually skin cancer but any advice?
It's probably nothing but dirt or dead skin because your toes rubbed together, but if you're really worried about it maybe you can just go for a normal health check and just mention it to the doctor. He can reassure you better than I can as I can't see it and I'm not a doctor. Although I doubt it is skin cancer because it's in between your toes and the sun doesn't really shine directly on there and your feet are always in your shoes which means nothing could have gotten on there and grown. Goodluck! Hope I helped. :)
does anyone know the name of the song that was popular in the u.s a few years ago that sort of sounded jamaican? it wasnt los lonely boys but it was something like them! they were a foreign band and had this hit song in the u.s!
Fly away master?
what is the best diet to loose like 10 pounds on?
its quick, lets you actually eat, and no need for exericise?
thanks
Eat six to seven small meals a day, no larger than what would fit on the palm of your hand and no wider than the palm of your hand. Just try to avoid eating sugar or things like bread, potatoes, and pasta on the same day or twice in one day. So if you had cereal for breakfast or toast, have chicken and salad for lunch and a soup or steak and salad for dinner. Also try to eat more chicken than beef or lamb or pork. This is just so you can lose it faster. Eat whatever you want as long as you eat six to seven SMALL meals a day. To be honest though, I don't think you'll lose 10 pounds very quickly if you mix sugars and carbs and don't exercise. There is no diet that let's you eat anything and you don't have to exercise or everyone would be on it haha. Hope this helped! Goodluck! ^^

It's from a movie called Princess Mononoke! My absolute all time favourite Japanese based film. :) If you like that you should also try Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle! Hope I helped. :) P.S.! If you just liked the picture here is another one. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/Mononoke_Kodama.jpg
hey , so theres this guy thats been one of my good friends for 2 years. and we KNOW we both like each other. alot. but i've heard he still likes his ex. we would act like we're together, eve though we're not. when he liked me alot last year, he didnt want to ruin our friendship. but now since i want us to be together, i dont know what i should do. help please !
Well I was in the exact same situation! I really fell for my bestfriend and he had just broken up with his ex. I thought it would be okay for us to get together but he said he wasn't ready. Anyhow long story short I waited and waited for him to get over her and he waited and waited for me to tell me I liked him and now we're not friends and he's dating his ex again but everyone tells me he still talks about me constantly! Lesson here is don't let the moment pass by! Either way you might lose your bestfriend but the reward is way greater. You could be more than bestfriends, you could have a real connection! IF your friendship is strong enough than you'll still be friends if he rejects you, although from what you've written I doubt he will. Just be straight up and ask him "Hey so what's the deal? I like you and I wanna be together etc." Don't let the moment slip pass because you'll regret it! So maybe you'll lose your friendship but if your friendship is going to end so easily, especially when you both KNOW you like each other than it can't have been that strong in the first place... I really hope you're really happy and that everything works out better than what happened with me! I personally can tell you I really regret never asking him about it again! Goodluck! :)
K so im having a few problems losing weight ive been dieting for like 2 months now and have only lost like 5 pounds which is not good enough and i need to lose like 25 pounds and i wanted to lose it by christmas but obviously that isnt gonna happen so now im thinking by february 1st or mid march basically what do i do to kinda speed it up i have exercised but i just ended up overdoing it and hurting myself so i cant really do much exercising cuz my doctor told me to just relax for a few weeks so ya plz help me out
Try to, instead of dieting, eat 6 or 7 really small meals a day instead of three normal sized ones. It's easier for your body to digest and it speeds up your metabolism. The portions should be no bigger than the palm of your hand and the height should be also about the same as your hand. I know these portions are quite small hence you eat every three to four hours. Try to stay away from dairy products and move towards fish or birds that can't fly such as Turkey or chicken instead of pork, beef, duck, or shellfish. Dairy products are hard to digest and fish or poultry( the above mentioned) is leaner than the other types of meat. Also dancing is a low impact good way or losing weight. I dance for about two hours everyday. Just put on some of your favorite fast paced songs and just move around. It's a fun low impact way to lose weight. Five minutes everyday however is not going to do much. Also it's better to take a 15-30 minute walk everyday then run 5 kilometers twice a week. So try to take a walk every morning before breakfast or walk anywhere that is within a mile or two. Don't skip breakfast! It's the worst thing you can do especially when your eating like this. If the quantities are any bigger than the above mentioned you will gain weight so don't do this if you aren't determined to lose weight and think you will cheat! Goodluck! :) Hope you lose a lot! Anymore questions then you can just ask me!
Ok, dont think im crazy, or weird, but i have a problem. What do you think the point in life is???
I asked one of my friends, and they said to serve god. and i go to church and believe in god, but im not very religious (ok, well i am, just im 14, and to afraid to tell my parents i dont believe what they and the church (roman catholics) believe.)
I think i have an issue (like...mental, not LITTERALLY, but like depression ,or someting....my friends, even my bf said im bipolar, b/c i am happy, then all of a sudden depressed for no reason)
ANYWAYS, what do you think the point in life is?
thank you, and sorry this is a long Q. im just trying to explain myself!
well im a christian myself and I think God created us all with a desire deep in our heart to have a relationship with Him. It's not about religion and how you act. It's about your heart. I think if you talk to Jesus Christ everyday and learn about Him and let Him reveal Himself to you then you won't need anything else. The love and joy you feel from Jesus and God is amazing. You can only become this amazing person and Christ worshiper if you work with the holy spirit. If you want to learn more about my God my aim is StarryCloud28. All Im saying is I wouldn't trade all I've had to go through for any other life! that's pretty big I think. =] I hope you find your way!
