I've recently decided to join the workout center called Curves. I was wondering if anyone could tell me some more about the routine there and what the equipment is like. I checked out the website but I didn't see any photos of the workout equipment so I'm pretty clueless and I'd really like to go in with an idea of the place. (link)

I've never been there, but why don't you call them and see if you can do a "one-time trial" workout? Most fitness places will let you do that, or at least take a tour of the place.

I have fine, thin hair that is very straight and was wondering what the best choice of rollers/curlers would be for me. I really want to add some nice curl to my hair. I know there are some you leave in overnight and some that are heated but I'm really not sure what would be best for my hair and if there are any specific brands I should be looking for. Any suggestions? (link)
|
You don't say how long your hair is, but i've had good luck with the kind of curlers that are foam wrapped in cotton, and have wire ends (inside the cotton) that you roll up and twist the ends to hold them in place. I got them at the grocery store. My hair is fairly long, I wash it and blow dry it until it's just barely damp, then put the curlers in. I get the best results when I sleep on them overnight, but i've also put them in and then used a blow dryer to "hurry" them along a bit, but it still takes a few hours to get a good curl. I don't recommend the heated curlers for anything but occaisional use, they could end up damaging your hair.
After I take the curlers out, i lean over and shake my head, run my fingers through my hair a few times. Use some hairspray and your fingers to "scrunch" your curls in place. Combing just makes it too frizzy. Maybe a "pick" would be good (um, that goes back about 10 years, don't know if they still sell 'em).

for some odd reason after sex my boyfriend keeps bringing up this "hard wall" that hes hitting after he goes in a couple times. he says it hurts him really bad and that it doesnt go away.. what is this? is there a problem with me? (link)
| |
It could be your cervix (the opening to your uterus). In some women, the uterus is "tilted" in such a way that the cervix is pressed down into the vagina. But usually you can feel it (it doesn't feel good) when your partner's penis makes contact with it. I suggest that you speak with your gynecologist and let him know what's going on.

I have to make a fake business page in my Web Design class. I have no idea what kind of business I want to make a web site for.
We have to present it to the class, so I want it to be something interesting/cool/funny.
Any ideas? I'm so not creative when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks! (link)

Maybe this answer is too general, but the first thing that pops into my mind is a candy store. Who doesn't like chocolate and licorice and all that good stuff from childhood????

well my butt smells really bad. even like right after i take a shower its like that. i've already seen a gyno about it, and he said everything was fine. But do you think other people can smell it. me and my friends sometimes lay down on top of each other if we are like watching tv or something. so i have to put something over me to block the smell. i don't know if i'm the only one that can smell it though. plus, perfume doesn't completely cover it. and i tried putting some on everytime i smelt it, but that made me smell a little cheically from all the perfume. any idea what i can do?? can other people smell it?? (link)
| |
I'm not trying to be funny, but are you sure about this? Have other people noticed? Maybe this is something that you're imagining...I'ts good that you talked to a doctor about it; but you don't say specifically that other people have commented on it. It's pretty normal to have insecurities, everyone has something that they're self-conscious about. If you really want to get to the bottom of this (NO PUN INTENDED) then make another appointment with a doctor and tell them EXACTLY what's going on. It's a tough conversation, but that's what they're there for.

im unsatisfied with my life right now. i recently had a breakup with a pretty long relationship. he moved on fast. i want to move on. ive been thinking a lot and finding myself despirately wanting another relationship thats even more amazing. i keep thinking about it. i know it doesnt just come that easily. i feel like i wont be happy until i have a great relationship like my last. then again, every opportunity i have had since the breakup, i denied it. i cant fall for anyone else other than my ex. it just doesnt feel right and ive been wanting a relationship that feels perfect. i dont like my friends. i dont like where i live every guy in my school is gross/asshole. how can i be happy again? how can i distract myself from this thought? how can i find someone new if i dont like the people who i know?
ps. i dont like ( (link)

Time for some ME time. I know it's hard being lonely, but you need to figure out what makes you happy WITHOUT guys. Join a club, or a church, or any kind of group that you're interested in--music, books, gardening--whatever--or better yet, volunteer to help people who need help in your community. It might seem lame at first, but when you expose yourself to people who you don't know, and really LISTEN, you can come away with some pretty amazing knowledge. Get yourself busy with other things, and the right guy will show up, eventually. But don't make your happiness about someone else...you have to find that within yourself. Corny, but true.

okay. i have no idea like how to flirt. i'm terrible at it, i never really tried because i don't know what to say. how can i like learn how to flirt? i use to be kind of a tomboy before and i hang out with guys sometimes, but i am girlyish too. it just always feels weird if i would try to flirt. any suggestions? (link)
| |
Well, if flirting's really not your thing, try really listening to what they're saying to you. Smile. Ask questions. Just being interested in someone can make them feel awesome. When you see someone you're interested in the halls. be sure to smile and say hello. Be yourself, don't worry about the flirting. Good Luck!

This Is A Question For Anyone Who Has Been Raped.
To anyone who is reading this has been raped i would really like to hear your stories.
If anyone thinks this is a too personal thing to ask dont critisise.
Thank you to anyone who answers. (link)
| |
If you've been raped, then you need more help than we can give you here. You need to speak to a trained counselor. You don't say how old you are or any other details, but you need to go get professional help, now. Call a rape crisis center in your area, they're in the phone book. Know that you didn't do anything wrong. Please, PLEASE talk to someone who can help you. There's nothing you can tell them that would shock them. Good luck.

you know leg ups, where you just go up and down on your toes and it tightens up your legs over time? well can that tighten my ass up too. i wanna look good in my bikini in the summer so, yeah.
gracias!

Get down on all fours, then lower your elbows to the ground. Lift one leg in an "L" shape, the sole of your foot flat as if you could push against the ceiling. Keep your back straight and relaxed. Pretend that you're balancing a book on the sole of your foot. Push that book towards the ceiling in sets of eight. Contract your butt muscles as you do it. You should feel it pretty quickly in your gluteal muscles. Don't bring your knee lower than your hip, keep a straight line with your leg and back. Do a set of eight slowly, then another set of eight quickly--just little pulses. Wooohoo, you will FEEL it! Add a few reps every day. Keep your neck relaxed and in a straight line with your back.
Repeat with the other leg!!
K-sorry, guess I wasn't responsive to your question. So, my answer is no; doing the up and down on your toes isn't going to help your butt. If you can't FEEL the exercise in the muscle you're trying to work, then you need to do something else. So give my suggestion a go!

I'm a twenty-two year old female. I'm pregnant with twins right now. Well I've had strept throat the past couple of days and I haven't been able to eat. My husband was just shot in Iraq so he's been home and for the past couple of weeks he's been laying with his head on my stomach every chance he gets, and he knows exactly how much my girls kick and move. Last night he got me really worked up because he said that they weren't kicking and moving as much as normal. Is this because I haven't been able to eat really? I'm afraid to go to the hospital again because they always tell me I'm way too paranoid. Thank you very much. (link)
|
Oh honey, you're in a very tough place right now. I feel for you. You don't say how far along you are, or if you know for sure that you have strep--did you get a test?
Being paranoid is the right of a mother-to-be. You need to do whatever it takes to put your mind at ease--talk to your doctor. Make an appointment, tell whoever that answers the phone that you are pregnant and sick, and that you need to see a doctor right away. Think about everything that you want to ask them, write it down in a list and take it with you. There are no stupid questions, especially with babies involved. Get the answers that you need to put your mind at rest.

We have three computers in my house, all of which are in the same room. I find myself becoming distracted because they are in the basement where my sister plays with her friends and watches movies. I can never get any work done because I'm always focused on something else. I've decided I'm going to save money for a laptop, but I know absolutely nothing about what kind I should get. I'm really into photography and music, and I don't play games or anything. I can't afford a mac notebook or anything, but I'd be willing to pay a reasonable amount for a decent one. Any ideas of what would be good for me? Im 16/f btw. (link)
|
Since you say you're into photography and music, that makes a big difference in what kind of computer you should get. Programs that deal with music & image manipulation require a lot of ram and as much processor power as you can get.
I'm a Mac person, always have been, but yeah, it's expensive. And laptops are always more expensive than desktop models. But at your age, you really need to think about getting something you can grow into--hopefully something you can take with you to college. I will go so far as to tell you to get a Windoze computer, with as much ram and processing power as you can get. This will allow you to persue your music and photography interests as well as writing term papers, etc. Sorry, but I'm really not the right person to guide you as to what brand of computer to buy.

Does that even make sense?So basically,I have high self esteem but I'm not the most confident person in the world.I'm still confident,but not as much as I'd like to be.Any advice? 13/F (link)
|
Yep, it makes sense. You might think that you're a perfectly nice/smart/generous/cool/funny person, but maybe in social situations, you're afraid you might say or do the wrong thing? It happens all the time to good people. Sometimes when the spotlight suddenly turns to you, maybe you clam up??
My advice is to stay in the game. You'd be surprised how many people who seem to have it goin' on are thinking to themselves "Does anyone like me? Am I normal?" Maybe it would be helpful to take a small risk--join the debate team, take a public speaking class, get yourself some practice at handling yourself in front of other people. That will give you some practice at "thinking on your feet".

I just met this guy (literally, we met last saturday at my cousin's birthday party) and already he says he likes me. My first reaction when I saw him was that he was kind of cute. So we flirted a lot throughout the party, and I kind of led him on (I'll admit, I was curious at first.) However, by the end of the day I realized that he wasn't my type. He was a little too nice, and honestly, I'm a little concerned that he started liking me so much already when we just met! Now he wants my number, and he even asked me out on a date, but I refused. I appreciate the effort and everything, and I feel a little bad for leading him on. How do I break it to him gently that I don't like him like that? (link)
| |
So what's so bad about being nice?? Seriously, you might want to give the guy a chance. It's just a date, right? But trust your instincts--If you feel the guy could be a controlling "stalker" type, then tell him straight out that you're not interested. You don't have to be mean, but make sure he understands. Tell him that you're flattered, but you're just not interested in him. Although you're sure (since he's such a nice person) that miss right is somewhere close. That's about as gently as you can let him down. It's kinder to let him know right now, in no uncertain terms, that it's not gonna happen.

What do you do about a cut on the tounge?
(link)
| |
Well, if it won't stop bleeding, you may need stitches. If it's healing and just bugging you, go to a drugstore and get a product called Oral-B Amosan. It's an oral wound cleanser and will help you heal.

doies mac has like ..extended warranty to your laptops?? for example i have an HP and they offer 1 years warranty,,but you can pay like 100 dolars to get the warranty for 3 more years...and this includes if you accidentaly throw the laptop and it brakes , or if you have a probelm and they can't fix it they will give you a new one and , but the most important thing is that if you throw it on the floor and it brakes they give you a new one ..does apple has it ?? (link)
| |
It's called Apple Care. I'm not sure that it covers damage from abuse, but it does extend the warranty. I believe you need to purchase it within a set amount of time after buying your computer. The details are on the Apple website.

Can the gyno tell if you are masturbating? (link)
| |
No. And even if they could, they wouldn't care. Nor could they tell anyone else.
|
|
ok i masturbate like once every 2 days and i was wondering..can i pick up sperm from like anywhere and have it be on my hand and get pregnant. does sperm just like float around on surfaces? i know i'm probably stupid but help!! (link)
| |
No, but wash your hands before you have at it.

don't tell me i was too young or anything, i already know.
i had anal sex for the first time on Friday;
and now my butt, like 4 inches above my anus,
is red, itchy, painful, and bumpy.
it's like on my buttcrack, if you will
i know it's not an std, my boyfriend and i both went to get tested last Wednesday. [he's 16, if it matters]
it hurts when i poo also.
what do i do?
it's killing me. (link)
|
I know you said not to, but you are TOO YOUNG.
You say you've been tested, that's good. But this may not be an std. I'm assuming you had blood tests. That doesn't check for things like fungus or pubic lice. Gross, I know, but if it doesn't clear up in a few days, you'll need to go to a doctor.

i have been exercsing for a couple of days now and my legs have been hurting. can you recommend something for muscle pain preferably something that i can put in the bath- thank you (link)
|
I believe the correct spelling is "epsom" salts. You can get it at any drugstore, but it's cheaper at a place like Costco or BJ's.
You might want to try some gentle stretching of your leg muscles. What you're feeling is normal, if you haven't exercised in a while, your muscles will hurt a bit; but that will go away. Stretching before and after exercise will help to keep soreness at a minimum. Just remember, stretching should not hurt. Do a bit every day, in a short while, you will be able to stretch and work out comfortably.

I have POC and abnormal bleeding is the norm to me although I panic over it every time... well today I have started bleeding quite heavily, the blood is bright red and it makes me feel uneasy. As I bleed often, I have a fear of Bleeding to death, please, someone put my mind at rest :o( I am 35 and overweight too (link)
|
Make an appointment with a gynecologist. Right now. Tell him/her exactly what's going on, and that you're afraid.
Getting a checkup and talking to a doctor the only way to put your mind at rest. Ask his advice about nutrition; if you're anemic from blood loss, you may need to get more iron and other nutrients. Good luck!
