Okay me and me sis have started a band yet we dont own any instrument or know how to play. But i can feel it in my soul that im am destined to be great.i need to work up 170 dollars by next month or my guitar that is the cheapest one i could find will be sold. any suggestions to make money. i will try to rate you .
stay away from oommpa loompas!

well you can obviously get a job but if you're not old enough you can do stuff like mow lawns, rake yards, sell stuff to stores (obviously stuff that you never use, like...old video games, toys....), or maybe a garage sale.

one hint of advice is to ask friends if they have any guitars or instruments that they are willing to sell. i got my first bass for 50 dollars from a friend, and the amp for 45 from another friend.

i'll try to stay away from oompa loompas

i need to know how to tone up my body, manly just the tops of my legs and my stomache, but the thing is i only have 2.5 weeks! please help me and tell me wht i can do, with only that amount of time! ill rate high!! thnx! let me know ASAP!!

well you should get a schedule with a rest period in it so that you don't over stress your muscles. i'd just run a mile every day except sunday, and do anywhere from 75-300 situps/crunches every day except sunday. it doesn't need to be sunday that you rest, but one day that is the same every week. after a week or two, you should start to run longer, maybe two miles, and do more situps. you don't need to diet, but do try to watch what you eat. try to stay away from stuff that you can't stop eating, like for example once i have a few lays original chips, i go through the whole bag. make sure that while exercising you get AS MUCH WATER AS YOU CAN, because you will become dehydrated especially if it is hot out. if you do get dehydrated to the point where you are not feeling right (dizzy, nauseus) stop and get water in you immediately because you do NOT want to get heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

oh and one more thing, once the 2.5 weeks are up, you shouldn't stop exercising. i assume that you want to tone yourself for school, which is good. but if you don't keep exercising you will put on what you lost. hope i helped

im going to warped tour tomorow and last year wen i went the bands were signing sutographs and stuff like that and i was wondering if anyone has alreadi went and knos if good charlotte wil or will not be signing autographs

i doubt that GC will be signing autographs, because after shows they are asses. when i saw them with less than jake and the disasters, a bunch of people wanted autographs and they just like shoved their way out of the crowd into their car. i got less than jake autographs though, theyre nice guys. i chose not to go to warped this year because bands like GC, NFG, Simple Plan, and other pop bands are there this year.

I hate basketball. well i don't hate it i just dont like it very much. Everyonr says I should play even our school's coach but i don't know. im 5'7 so they say ill be a good rebounder or defender??? but i cant shot! i miss everything! should i play?

you shouldn't be forced to do anything you don't want to, especially when it comes to being on a team and having to commit so much of your time on something you dont like. if you want to get better, just work on your shooting, keep your elbows in and make sure you have a clean follow through rather than just dropping your arms.

Come on, y'all know who's better. CAROLINA ROCKS MY SOCKS!!! But what do you think? Tarheels or Blue Devils?

ok im going into 9th grade and im trying out for varsity...we already had one tryout and i didnt do very well i dont think...i need to be tougher going to the ball....any suggestions??? im a fast learner and im willing to work hard! leave your AIM sn if u can help and also leave advice!!

well for your situation, it helps to not just run straight at the ball, but to run at it with a little angle in your body. keep your line of movement straight, but make the tackle with some slant in your body so you're not facing directly at the ball, just a few degrees to the side of it.

my AIM is njdevilsfan304 if you want any more advice.

i play soccer and want to try for extreme legue but like i dont know If I am Goood enough for It or not Plz help aBBz

well i don't really know how good you are, but i say go for it. the best players in the world wouldn't be known if they hadn't taken chances and tried out for a team. even if you don't make it, at least the coach knows who you are and then you have credibility and the coach knows you are persistent and have good work ethic when you try out the next year. i don't know what extreme league is, but if it's like Premier divisions, the teams are not that hard to make and there are usually two teams, the elite and the premier teams. you should be able to make one of them. good luck, and remember always try your best especially at tryouts.

I this freind and we have been friends 4 years and just this past summer she has been always hanging with her other friend and just leaving me behind.

well i think you just have to understand that people make new friends, and though you shouldn't just ditch a good friend, you should start looking for other friendships as well. it's just a part of growing up really, branching out and expanding your horizons to other people and other interests. it's completely normal

So what do you all eat when you are fasting? I am having a difficult time cutting out meat and cheese. I can manage to do without the meat, but I didn't realize how much cheese and yogurt played into my life. Any tips?

you can try to eat things such as tofu. rather than just eating a hunk of tofu plain, you can do a lot with it. you can make a tofu burger, or you can go get a veggie burger or gardenburger and just not put cheese on them. i don't personally fast, but i've read articles about ways to use soy and tofu as regular foods.

Where can I get one of those yellow livestrong bands for lance armstrong?

a lot of groups sell those for one dollar a piece. i got mine from a trainer at a soccer camp. its good to see that you're looking towards the good cause that lance is doing.

i dont know whats wrong with me. my current b/f was my first kiss and ...other things. but hes told me about all the other times hes made out with girls and he suposidly liked me when he made out with one of them at his dads camp. i had liked him then too. but he doesnt go to the same school as me...and his best friend is always checking out girls so he always points them out to my b/f. i just dont know how to stop thinking about it so much. i know he loves me and he wants to marry me(we're 15 but still...)i dont know how to get it out of my head and when i think about it i cry...please help me.

well the majority of straight 15 year old guys today are going to be like that. just remember that if he really loves you like he says he does, he won't do anything more than look. its not bad to check out a girl as long as you don't actually do anything with her. i know it may be hard to understand from your point of view but it is absolutely normal.

I need an idea for a date. I don't know they guy real well, we've only talked 2 times. So i want to get to know him, and i'm kinda nervous that going to a movie would me akward. Please give me ideas.

you could go out to dinner, or just go around the town. i don't know how old you are, so if you couldn't drive then going around town would be a problem unless u want your mom to drive you and chaperone :(

just anything where you two will be able to talk freely.

im 13 in the 8th grade and ive never had a b/f. the guy that i like keeps on saying that he dosent like me.
is there something wrong with me?

nothings wrong with you, but you need to understand that not everyone is going to fancy you. just try to get over him however you can, or just be good friends with him.

last year i had 3 real bestfriends i mean we were like TOTALLY the bestest friends now this summer its like... rite in the beginning these 2 girls hate me now they call me a slut and stuff when ive nevr had sex and stuff! and they say i wear too much eye makeup(which i dont) and i dress slutty! so ive tryed to not put as much eye makeup on but then this one girl outta the group is like i dont care what u say im not gonna be frinds with u agen! and im like ok bitch! and were in this huge fight and then the last girl outta our 4 is like my neighbor so we gotta be friends... but that one girl is like saying shes gona make my life miserable and stuff and im totally confuzed!

if your friends are going to be like that and not change, then its time to find some new friends who aren't going to talk poorly about you.

During your first year of h.s. do u hang out with new friends or friends from ur grammar school cause idont have many friends from my grammar school and im worried that i wont have nayone to hang out with if i dont make friends ritee away?

well its a little of both. obviously you're going to still maintain relationships with your friends, but at the same time you should get out there and meet new people. i'm gonna be a junior now and i realize that 4 years of high school is nothing. despite the work, you will have tons of fun in high school and the 4 years will fly by, so take every opportunity to make a new friend. like i said, i'm only a junior but considering how fast my freshman/sophomore years went by, it seems like i'm going to be going off to college tomorrow. don't worry about whether you're going to be accepted by others or not, just be yourself and people will recognize that you're a good kid and you'll start to make more friends. these friends are the kids that you'll be telling your kids about someday, so find good ones.

how long should i wait b4 i tell a girl how i feel about her after she breaks up with someone she really loved.the only reason they broke up was because he was moving to another state. thanx
dan

umm i'd wait quite some time, because she most likely still has a LOT of feelings for that guy. your best bet to win her heart is just to be a good friend and support her, and don't try to rush things.

hey i was wondering if neone knew of ne good at home exercises 2 lose weight fast that works manly ur legs and stomach and some arms and some diets 2 go on ??? thanks

don't diet, just watch what you eat. there is a difference. diets can be the worst thing for weight loss because of the added stress that it puts on you, and stress is one of the biggest factors in weight gain. i'd just say run, do some light weight lifting for your arms, do situps, jumping jacks, and stuff like that. you don't need to go spend millions of dollars on stuff to lose weight.
