does mylie cyrus lip synce? on her show, it doesnt look like she does, but in clips from her concerts on tv, it looks like she does.

haha, Definitely.
She does. Big Time. I've tried to tell my little sister this.. but she's just like "No Wayy she's amazinggg"

I have no doubt she recorded her songs, that's her voice, but in concert I can strongly say she does not sing.

How can my friend get a pizza grease and sauce stain out of her white feather bed?

If its just plain white, bleach it. .. otherwise you could use carpet cleaners (resolve works) or a baking soda+water paste. put that on it and let it sit for a while. then work at it.

is there anyways i can get myself to fall asleep? i am up sometimes like 2 hours after i lay down and its like 3 am! no naps...
please help me :D thanksthanksthanks

try doing more during the day. more physical activity will make rest more needed.
spend less time sitting on the computer or in front of the TV and instead go out and run, ride a bike, walk, go to a gym, go to a party/club/show, do yard work... just during the day. don't over do yourself though.
also try going to bed earlier.. I know it sounds pointless. but just go to bed a couple hours earlier and listen to music or read a book to slow down your mind.

Hope I helped

I bought a 1GB MINI SD Card for my phone (Nokia 6165) to hold & play music on my phone. It came with a similar (but SLIGHTLY bigger card) that says "MINI Adapter" on it. I wanted to sell these since I have no desire to use them. But I wanted to know if these cards could only be used for my phone or could they be used for other electronics out there. Basically, I just want someone to enlighten me on what these are & if they can only be used for my phone or if they can be used for other electronics out there, etc.

No, they can be used with other devices.
things like SD cards and USB cables and basically all kinds of wires/cables/plugs/jacks.. they use universal sizes. so you could sell those to someone else. or put them on eBay or whatever.

1) does putting lemon juice in your hair actually lighten it?
2) how is that possible/how does that happen
3) how many lemons would you need to buy
4) how do you apply it
5) how long in the sun
thaaaanks

Yes it does.
It has a chemical property similar to hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol that lowers your susceptibility to sunlight. I want to say it weakens melinin. but I think thats the wrong.... thing. .. basically it magnifies the sunlight on your hair/skin.
I wouldn't buy lemons. get lemon juice. or Hydrogen Peroxide. (Lemon juice will attract bugs. my friend tried it.)
... to apply it.. I don't quite know. just make sure its even. and dont get it on your scalp or the rest of your skin.
a good couple of hours in the sun will do it.

Warning: this does damage your hair. so don't do it often.

I have given up entirely on acne medicines, pills, you know the list.

I dont have much at all, it's just that it's persistant, and i mean P-E-R-S-I-S-T-A-N-T. any thing, proactive, benza-clin, tazorac, even along with a long line of antibiotics does not help at all, and im talkin after 2 months use. And my face just laughs at prescription stuff.

So lately (during summer) i've been using 40% rubbing alcohol almost every 3 hours on my face. and i've had positive results.

1. Do you have any idea of any long term effects of this use, like wrinkles (i am a guy, but who wants wrinkles?)

2. Why is my face so sensitive to the sun after i use rubbing alcohol.

rubbing alcohol will make you sensitive to the sunlight just because of the chemical properties of it. it does something to the chemical make up of your skin to raise your susceptibility to UV rays.

I've got some advice that probably sounds crazy but Its worked before. Try washing your face with just soap and water.. I'm not being sarcastic. soap dries out your skin without that sensitivity to sunlight. (then use the rubbing alcohol at night or when you wont be outside)

I've also had a problem with this. Proactive was a joke for my face. but Clearasil worked for me, give it a try if you haven't already.

You can also talk to a dermatologist about small diet changes.

My boyfriend is out of town, so I'm spending time with new and old friends for a change. Well, I'm quickly beginning to remember why I stopped hanging out with people. Guys always make plans with me, but then I get left for other people often.

I'm attractive, but I feel like I don't have the personality to match. I can be a little boring, I'll admit. I don't want to change who I am, but I do want to be able to relate to people better. My parents always question why my plans get changed so much, I hate admitting to myself that I'm not as wanted as I used to be. People used to love being around me, I was so outgoing. Now, I'm just so annoyed by many people that I can be a drag to be around. How do I get the old me back?

oh honey I am in the same boat.
I suggest going on vacation. or just out to your local dance club/bar(age permitting) or find out when there's local bands playing. Local band shows are always a great way to meet new people.
I'm not saying get new friends. just Meeting new people seems to be theraputic in a way. and when you're out, let loose. don't be a whore. but just let your guard down talk to strangers.
I have learned a hell of a lot from strangers. People I will never see again. So I could be as crazy as I wanted. or chilled or pretend to be different for a while.
Just getting out of the house and around new people works wonders on building personality. it gives you stories to share when you get back home and chat with your friends. And you get pretty comfortable with meeting people.

Do meals made in slow cookers use a lot of electricity when they cook for 8-10 hours?

It depends on what brand you have.
A lot of them heat up and then are just so well insulated that as long as you don't take the cover off it just maintains temperature without electricity. Some cheaper ones just suck more electricity than sluts suck dick. Normally the instruction booklet will tell you. Otherwise you could call/email/check the website of the manufacturer.

Is salt water good for getting rid of blackheads and pimples?
Any other good home remedies to get rid of them?
thanks

Yes. It works as an exfoliant.
or even washing your face with salt in whatever facewash/soap you use.
but do it sparingly, it does dry out your skin.

I'm taking Ballet classes this summer, anyone who takes ballet can then give me some REAL AND GOOD tips and websites.

Help me (tips and websites) to learn how to do a proper pirouette and fouette and how to get really at good spotting turns without getting dizzy. I use to do Ballet from like 6-9 but I stopped because I couldn't afford it anymore and I lost all my ability.

the trick to spotting is picking a point on the wall you're moving towards. something relatively high. and just focus on it for as long as you can. then when you've spun too much to look at it, SNAP your head around to that same spot. I find that it works best if there's a word. Like, I'm in Color guard. and when we practice dance we're in a hallway (yeah our school hates us even though we had the highest score in our division in the country. but thats another story.) anyway. hallway. and we move between doors. so I always look at the 'Exit' signs and read them each time I turn... if there's nothing to read. make a sign and hang it on the wall.

for more tips. I would go to your local library and check out a book or two.

Have Fun!

i apologize in advance for the length.

i'm 17/f. i don't like drinking. i don't find a point in it. my mom and my sister drink all of the time. it makes them do ridiculously stupid things; typical when you are drunk. my mom has done things like walked into doors, broken valuable things of hers, fallen down the stairs with my cat in her hand, and so on and so forth. my sister is only 19, and she drinks almost every night out of the week. her and her boyfriend broke up over her heavy alcohol use. now, my boyfriend is starting to become a big alcohol user. when i try saying something to them, they say i'm preaching to them, or i'm making everyone mad by preaching to them. what can i say? i'm so sick of everyone telling me i'm preaching to them. i don't like the people they are when they are drinking, and either is my dad. my dad's not even talking to my mom anymore. i need advice on what to say. i don't want to cry about the way things are around my house anymore. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks :)

First off I'd like to say that I'm proud of you for not being into drinking. I'm not either. I find it to be vile aswell.

I hate to tell you that there is not much you can do. You can continue to tell them that you don't like what they're doing. Talk to your dad about it since he seems to be agreeing with you on the subject. Maybe you can talk him into getting everyone else to accompany the two of you to a family psychiatrist. That is a good idea. see someone who's trained to bring families back and settle differences. Really work at getting there.

Until then, Keep a level head and hang around with people who stay sober. Talk to your boyfriend about this problem and explain your family situation with alcohol. and tell him that you wont tolerate being around him when he is drunk. I'm not saying break up with him. Just don't associate with him while he's been drinking. He'll get the message.

Good Luck

Hi everyone. Does anyone know how I can get gum off my shoes? It's not on the bottom; somehow it got on to the side. If it helps, they're leather, I think. I would think so because they were expensive. Anyway, this happened in May & I went into my garage & found them in there today. The gum isn't hard since its pretty hot out. I picked most of it off... If anyone knows what I can do, please let me know. Thanks!!

well I was going to tell you the ice cube thing. but you've heard that
but also
I've been told that peanut butter has something in its oils that will get the gum to seperate from whatever it's clinging to. I haven't tried it, so I don't quite know how much you need. I would assume just enough to get around the gum. But It does work. My sister used peanut butter to get gum out of her hair once. (of course she had to wash it afterwards but thats a given.)

What can i do to stay away from fattie foods, and keep myself from eating when im bored?
I would like to loose around 5 lbs
Also i eat really fast, how can i slow down a bit?

to stay away from eating when you're bored, find things to do. Clean your room, go swimming, ride a bike, walk...(choose something active and you'll be killing two birds with one stone. stay away from food when unneeded and lose weight)

To slow down eating, half an hour before a meal, make up a small bag of popcorn. Sound crazy? Yeah I know, but Popcorn has little to no nutritional value and still fills you up. So when you're eating, you already have it in your stomach, so you're less hungry and will eat slower. :]

what are some thigs i could do to have me stand out bfrom everyone else...in a positive way?

be yourself and not ask other people's ideas or care what they think.
(I know that sounds rude, but honestly, Thats all thats going to work unless you want to stand out to the guys and just make yourself a slut... but I don't recommend that.)

14/f

i absoulty hate my dad. omg. like. i cant stand him. hes so anoyying, i mean, ive always hated him, and i tired telling my mom, and she tried to fix it, but it didnt work. anyways, i spent like forever cooking this one thing, and hes like it taste like shit. and im like omg. and my mom was like focing him to eat it. and then, he never listens to me, like i always told him to take my dog out with the leash. but he never listened, and my dog ended up dieing, because of him. if he would have listened to me, it wouldn't of happened. and hes just so stupid sometimes, anything i do, is never good enough. & then for like all of 7th grade, i like failed all my classes, just to see what he'd do. and then i decided that was stupid, because im smart, and the quicker i can get out of the house and away from him, the better. and all he cares about is my brothers, and there stupid sports. but, when i was in cheerleading, and beauty pagents, he never even wanted to go. i mean yeah sure i know that would be boring for a guy, but still. anyways, my point is, how do i ignore him? or what can i do?

First off. Don't say "like" so often. Makes you seem like a stereotypical overdramatic teen.

But anyway. ignoring him will only make it worse. I know I sound like a lunatic saying this. But its true. when something annoys you, and you attempt to ignore it, you notice it more. whereas if you just say "Ok. my dad's an asshole, but he's my dad. I'm going to love him anyway" you'll find out more to love about him. Kind of like in school how there's cliques of people who don't like eachother. I'm the person who is friends with the people like you, and with your mortal enemies. Because once you look past whatever prejudice or thoughts against them you have, you find so much more. and you can really learn a lot from different people.
In the long run, it will really help you a lot to give people a shot then give your best to get them. ... Just try. For instance, instead of "telling him.." try asking. and ask for an opinion, and when he's rude, just tell him that you don't appreciate remarks like that. and be just all around polite, He will start to change his ways.

Good Luck!

Ok Well I don't know what it is but it's like a pimple that's not pussy or a bump and it's the size of my thumb.

It's on the side of my left legs above my knee.

In 4 days there was like a red ring going around it (like how a nipple has that dark ring around it).

It's been a week and now it's kinda dark kinda liek a purple and red colour mixed.

I don't know if it'll stay or go away..I'm ogign swimmign in 2 days so i hope it goes away cuz it grosses me out and my head keeps shouting MOLEY MOLEY MOLEY!

It could possibly be a boil, an infection just under the skin. or an ingrown hair. run the hot water a while and wet the tip of a paper towel. Its hot, so only do as much as you can stand. but put the hot corner on it and hold it there for a while. Put a drawing saave on it (icthamnol ointment) or get something from your doctor or pharmacy and cover it with a band aid.

i have really oily skin and when ever i put anything in my hair it breaks out. Anyone know any ways to get rid of zits or any not oily hair products for frizzy hair??

try switching to an anti frizz shampoo instead of the syrums for the time being. also, blow dry your hair in small sections from root to tip using a large round brush. When you're done, do the same thing using the cool setting, this closes the cuticle on your hair, seals in moisture to reduce frizz. Don't straighten it as often. Irons Kill ends.

as for the acne, clearasil works AMAZINGLY. and its non-oily. I would know I have the same problem. (not even Pro-Active worked for me. its pretty bad lol)

well, the guy I like is exactly one year younger than me. I'm going to be a sophmore next year. Should I be ashamed? I'm afraid everyone at church will think I cant get a guy my own age. But, I really like him...I think he might too...advice?

Honey, one year is Not a difference at all. I mean, take a look at all your parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and family friends, and friends who got married. most of them have more than a years difference. my grandparents have four years between them... there are people with more than ten years difference. It makes no difference.

hii!
im getting my nose pierced in 2 days =]

i got a question,
i read online that it could fall out while your sleeping and the hole will close up, so this one girl said it helps to put a little baindade over it so it wont fall out, but i was thinking that it could get an infection cause bacteria will be trapped and the area wont beable to breathe.

what do you guys think?

--ashley

I have never had a nose piercing. but I'm sure it wouldn't fall out while you're sleeping. but If you're worried a band aid just during the night will not do anything as far as causing an infection. Band aids are made to be breathable. and it would only be for a couple hours out of the day.
