They most likely won't let you bring the knitting needles onto the plane. They wouldn't even let me bring on a nail filer (the fancy kind) back in June.

i have a question : this might seem wierd but can a 12 year old boy have six pack abs? thank for you help.

Any boy that has not gone through puberty should not be pushing a 6 pac. It's not good for you at that age. 12-year-old don't have the hormones they need to have those muscles. If you're working out at this age, you're just toning the muscles, not building any. I guess that's waht those people mean that are saying *natural 6 pac*. And if you push yourself too much by lifting heavy weights, it can cause damage to bones, ligaments, soft tissue, etc. that are still growing.

You most likely won't be seeing a 6 pac until you've reached puberty so don't push it.

For the SATs, do you have to define a word for the vocabulary section, and if so, how many definitions are there?

Well I've only taken the PSAT but on that I all I had to do was put in a word in place of another. But nope, didn't have to actually define anything.

I was cleaning my keyboard and I pressed a button that accidently muted my computer! I dont know what button but lime green text came up on my screen that said Mute On and now I cant hear anything. How do I turn it off?

Well my mute button is at the verrryyy top of my keyboard where I can control the volume and such. Look for it around there. It should say *mute*.

Where can you buy skinny jeans?

Do you mean jeans in small sizes? Or the actual "skinny jeans" that are tight all the way down? If it's the second one then Express has them. Just look around the mall and you'll find them in lots of stores though.

who sings the song mrs. jones?? the rap one..thanks!!

This question is exactly why you shouldn't listen to most people on this site.

Mike Jones sings no such song. Everyone that answered this question copied the first person who was OBVIOUSLY joking. Too bad they didn't notice that because now they look like queers.

Hi! My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting engaged lately, and he's asked me about engagement rings so he can get a feel for what I like.

I really like the 3 stone engagement rings (such as this one http://www.tiffany.com/expertise/diamond/rings/engagement_three_ring.aspx?ring=round&) and I was wondering... are those actually considered to be engagement rings, or are they more for anniversaries and stuff? On some websites they are under the engagement category, and on others they are under anniversary. What is your opinion? Is a one stone ring more appropriate for getting engaged?

Also, I really like the rings at Tiffany's, but it seems that they are a LOT more expensive than other jewelry stores. For example, their CHEAPEST ring with a "one carat" diamond is 10,000 dollars. Around how much do they cost at other places?

Thanks so much... if you can't answer both of my question, just give one of them a shot! Anything is better than nothing! :) THANKS!

Well for starters, yes, Tiffany Co. is more expensive than regular jewelry stores. It's like the Chanel of jewelry. You can find engagement rings from like 1,000-20,000 and other stores, depending on what you want.

Traditionally, most engagement rings are one stone but the three stones are considered engagement rings as well. My mom's engagement ring is three stone and came with another band that was all around diamond (she has a different one as her wedding band). So, if you like three stone ones, then go for it.

i want to get white etnies. would they look bad if i wore skirts and capris or no? thanks

With capris or shorts, you're good to go. But skirts, not so much. Those shoes, acttually any type of tenny shoes, don't work with skirts.

i have like a reddish brown hair, and i want to dye it brown with maybe caramel highlights .. not to dark brown or too light .. and im getting it professionally done .. when will it be time to dye it agian? will it last long?

It depends on how fast your hair grows. You can get root touch ups when your hair starts growing. Also, the color will last until it grows out and you cut it but it will fade. If you get it re-done when your roots come in, you won't have to worry about that though. They can also brighten the color and such when it gets dull. Your stylist should tell you everything you need to know.

I have a little mustache problem..
it's not bad...i mean i dont wanna wax because it's not that course.

I tried nair but it irritated my skin...and i dont wanna bleech it. Is there anything i can do???

If you use a cream, you might as well just wax it. Yeah, the cream doesn't hurt like the wax but like you said, it can cause irritation. Plus, waxing lasts a lot longer than Nair and since it's just a little mustache, it won't hurt that much.

This site gives you all hair removal techniques and information on them.

i am going to get more ear piercings (just on the earlobe.) can anybody tell me what they think of this:

RIGHT EAR: 3 in a row
LEFT EAR: only 2

i already have my ears pierced with one like the traditional pericing, buti kind of want moree

My personal opinion is I don't think that looks good. I wouldn't get it done like that. If I were you I'd either get the same amount on each ear; either 2 on both or 3. But, whatever floats your boat.

Have any of you guys seen the Butterfly Effect?

How would you rate it on a scale of 1-10.
And any personal opinions on the movie would be great.

10.

I loved loved that movie. Ashton Kutcher did such a great job in it and it's one of those movies that makes you wonder. Like, we all wish you could change our pasts but if we were able to change anything, it'd affect our future as well, possibly for the worse.

I had two assignments for the subject. For one of them, I recieved a Credit which is 60 - 70 marks. That assignment was worth 30 %. For the next assignment, I recieved a Distinction which is 70 - 80 (or 85) which was worth 70 %. What did I get out of 100? The reason I ask is because they say that I should only get a Credit overall for the subject and I'm just wondering if this is right??

Thanks.

Well I'm not sure what you mean by 60-70 and 70-80 so I just used 65 and 75? If that's right then your average should be around 72 if I did it right, which I think I did. and yeah, you get credit for your overall grades together.

15 Female

Last night I was at a party and made out with this guy (hes 18) four times. The thing is, that was my first kiss.. but I think I did pretty well. Anyways, he started with his mouth open which was sooo awkward, but then again we were both kinda drunk. Is it normal to begin with fullout french kissing.. no closed mouth kiss before?

Thanksss.. :)

UHHH some people that answered this are dumb. You don't have to start out with your mouth closed. You can go tounge first if you want to. It's not weird or not normal.

well theres this girl and she said she wants to kill me. what do i do. im scared he means it. HELPPPP!! we really arent friends but idk if she was jk or is serious. ive heard stoires like this b4 where people dont take it seriously then like, get killed. what do i do? (we are 13)

Well I wouldn't say just forget about her or even confront her because even though she most likely will not actually kill you, I do think she might be willing to hurt you in some way. 13-year-old girls can be crazy. Anyway, where do you see this girl? If you're in summer school or something of the kind, tell a counselor, teacher, or AP. If you just randomly see her in your neighbor hood, walk away from her; don't try to go up to her and say things like "I bet you won't kill me!" You see how that might make it worse? Also tell your parents about her or possibly the police. Tell someone that you're going to kill them is a death threat and is against the law if I'm not mistaken. It'll help to know why she wants to "kill" you.

What exactly is credit? How do you get good credit? Where does bad credit come from?

Credit is basically borrowing money and promising to pay it back. Nothing is taken out of your bank account (unlike a debt card) but you are sent a bill which you have to pay. To keep your credit good all you have to do is pay all your money back by the time it's due. Once you start sending in late payments or not paying, your credit goes down and you start to have....bad credit. And if that gets too bad then that's when you've but yourself in a situation where someone might not want to sell you a car, cell phone, house, etc. They look at your credit report (I think that's what it's called) and if you don't pay other people back when you're supposed to and have bad credit they think "I probably won't get my money either."
