okay, this may sound gross, but i really need an answer to this question. there is this guy i really like. we had this lady come to our school and talk to us about sex a few weeks ago. a couple of nights ago, i had a dream that this guy i like got me pregnant. the dream didn't leave out anything. in the dream, we were happy that it had happened. does this mean anything? i am not perverted and haven't had thoughts like this before, but this couldn't be helped. it was a dream. i am saving sex until marriage, but in this dream, it was happening in the present. i need some answers! thanks in advance! i'll rate 5's!

Just sounds like your slightly-more-than-standard dream, to me. You like the guy, so your subconcious goes and lets you live out a potential fantasy of yours, becoming pregnant through him (and therefore likely marrying him). It's natural, and in no way perverted (unless you're leaving something crucial out), so don't worry about it. Hell, a dream I clearly remember, even after ages, involved me proposing to this girl I liked at the time, her accepting, and then we fought off assassins for some reason. Dreams are often just wish fulfillment like that.

I'm a guy. Will running or doing other cardiovasuclar exercises be bad if you did it while wearing cold gear under armor inside a building? Thanks - will rate.

You're running around in a building wearing armour?
But no, aside from perhaps getting tired and hot faster, it shouldn't be bad. Just make sure to drink plenty of water, and not overexert yourself. I'm still not quite sure why you'd be exercising in armour, though, unless there's some interpretation of armour I'm unaware of.

my mom is always great to me, and does anything for me, except when shes around her freinds. they treat me nicley, but my mom makes a point of sending me to do things and making fun of me! i hate it. i cant just stay away from them. what should i do?

I'm pretty sure that she just wants her friends to think she's a good mother. You know, not too lenient or anything. If you really hate it that much, you can talk to your mum and ask her to ease up, or even try fighting back (although this could lead to an actual fight, so be warned). If this fails, try your best to avoid them (even though you said you couldn't :( ). You could also try joking with her friends about it, if they like you. "Wow, she's a slave driver, isn't she?" Complaining too much will probably annoy your mother, though. Your best bet is to hope that talking to her about it helps out.

Good luck to you!

i need help right now ! theres this toolbar called mirar at the top of my internet explorer and its says gay and lesbian stuff and my dad has to get on the computer i want it gone NOW !! i right clicked and told it to go away how can i get rid of it for good !!
ill rate 5's!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try these links first:

http://www.scanspyware.net/info/MirarToolbar.htm
http://www.spyany.com/program/article_spw_rm_Mirar.html
http://www.infopackets.com/channels/en/windows/gazette/
2004/20040525_how_to_remove_any_spyware_adware_toolbar.htm

Recommended you utilize them in that order.

This is what I'd do if I couldn't do as described in the links above, or it didn't work:
((Goto explorer and do a search for 'mirar'. Delete any files/folders you find titled that. Reboot your computer and run another search. If they're back, you'll need a more in-depth approach. Get Lavasoft Adaware: www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware . Run it. Go to http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm
Free, really good. After they're done, check for the Mirar files again, and delete any you find. Reboot and see if the toolbar is around.))

Hope you find success.

Hey everyone,
I want to create a calm atmosphere for my new room. What are some key elements? placement of furniture, and colors that can help me relax.

Oh and if anyone has any websites on stress busting you room I would appreciate it ! Thanks.

I've noticed that a lot of people have given you colour advice, so I'll try something different - incense can help relaxation, although particularly discount or thick ones can often be a little strong. Also, wooden carvings and other simple ornaments can help cultivate a calming atmosphere. If you have the opportunity to hang posters and whatnot, go for scenes and inanimate objects - portraits and photos of people can loom and intimidate in the darkness. Also, it'd probably be best to avoid sculptures/figures/whatnot of people. I have a lawn gnome up on my bookshelf, and now and again it gives me a bit of a chill.

Hope that aided you.

if an atheist lived an honest life according to his own morals, which were parallel to "god's law" would he be condemned to hell? because the bible seem to condamn all who does not believe in jesus and god to this hell. there fore if all one need to do was to believe to get into heaven, then why bother the pious behavior? similarly if pious behavior without faith earns one hell, then is this judgement really fair?

I think the real question is - if you're an athiest, then why would you be worrying about hell or heaven? If you're hoping that in case your beliefs turn out to be wrong, you might still get in, then you don't believe strongly enough. I suggest you just convert to whatever religion you feel the closest affinity to, and stop your worrying. If you're dead set on being athiest, and still worry about non-existent punishments, then just remember - even if you're a good person, you have to accept Christ and the Lord and whatnot, or you go to Hell. That's what it says in all the books.

(Of course, you didn't exactly state that you /were/ an athiest, but if you're weren't, then why would you be asking for advice regarding them?)

im making something for my b.f. for his birthday.. i need an idea of a quote i can put inside.. nothing to corny.. something that has some meaning.. any help ? will rate

"You mean an awful lot to me,
as I'm sure you know.
Perhaps this poem will make you see,
and my feelings show."
^ I originally wrote this in conjunction with the below, but it also works well alone.

"I hope you find much happiness,
and play with lots of glue.
my rhymes are known for crapiness...
I bet you think so too!"

^That may only apply to me, though.

"Remember, the greatest gifts you can give are love, the acceptance of love, and the affirmation of love."

You could also put this link in there:

It's sort of cute.

My Best friend in the whole entire world might be moving. I mean FAR away. Like I live in Ky and she might be moving back to Michagan. I don't have any other friends. And it really hurts me cause I am afraid that she will move and I will never see her again. The same thing happend with my old friend Allison. She moved and I haven't herd from her in a year. I don't know what I am going to do. I have no friends but her. Please guys help me. Cause I am so hurt... 13/F

Make sure you get a phone number, address, and, if possible msn/e-mail/etc. Phone her, write her letters, and keep in touch any way you can. If you remain good friends, you might want to think about visiting her in her new home. I've found you can still remain friends with someone as long as you keep in touch, but it has to be fairly often.

Good luck.

My birthday is coming up, and I'm having a little "get together" with my bestfriends (about 7 people total). I need ideas of what we can do that isn't really loud (my mom will be home). Games, stuff to talk about, anything at all to keep us from getting bored. I want to have a good time! ..Any ideas?

I gave this as an answer for another question, but it's a good one for all occasions, I feel:

-Get a hat and put a wide range of subjects on paper, and ut them all in there. Take turns drawing them - you have to talk for a full minute, no pausing, on whatever subject you draw. This game often leads to just normal conversation about a subject, when you find an interesting enough one.

If you have a yard, you could also buy a whole lot of small soft items and have some sort of weird rubber snow ball fight.

On that sort of topic, although I'm almost definetely sure you won't like this. You also probably don't have the means. - if you have a forest or fairly big yet dense spaces around, places to hide, etc, and some easily squishable berries, you can make glove guns (finger of a glove taped to a short length of hose), load up on the berries, and have yourself a shootout. Awesome fun (especially in a forest where you can hide in trees and set up ambushes and things), but it can be painful. Hell, ignore that whole last bit and just get some of those laser tag game sets. >_>;

My Friend stayed with me last night and we were so bored out of our minds....there isnt anything to do! Can yall tell me some things to do so next time it wont be so boring? A few things that might help you: we are female, 15 years old...i dont think theres anything else yall NEED to know...please and thank you!

Board games! Or, I don't know, a movie.
-Truth or Dare.
-Video games? Maybe?
-Get a hat and put a wide range of subjects on paper, and ut them all in there. Take turns drawing them - you have to talk for a full minute, no pausing, on whatever subject you draw. This game often leads to just normal conversation about a subject, when you find an interesting enough one.
-Get a hat, put a bunch of thumbtacks in it, and take turns eating them? If that doesn't entertain you, then that's probably a good thing. Don't do this.
-Draw pictures/write stories, if you feel so inclined. Maybe you could give each other subjects.
-When all else fails, play strip poker and record it and sell it for money. But you probably shouldn't do this either.

I'm planning on buying movies next weekend because I have none! I love scary movies and chick flicks and comedy's. What do you recommand.

p.s. no rated R's

Scary:
-Alien movies (As in, the Alien quadrilogy)
-The Butterfly Effect. I didn't find it that frightening, but it /was/ damn cool anyway.
-Predator 1 or 2.
-Alien vs Predator? I don't really see this as very scary, though.
-The Village.
-Jeepers Creepers 1 or 2.
-Thirteen Ghosts.

Comedy:
- Adam Sandler's Eight CRAZY Nights - sort of gross/weird in some cases, but very very funny.
- 50 first dates.
-Dodgeball.
-Hot Chick.

Some of those Scary ones might be R where you are, although I don't think any are here. Particularly the Alien ones.

I dont know what i should get for my mom for christmas..I know its bad but yeah. She likes the western deal, and candles. Can you give me some ideas????

Candles as suggested by the other answers would likely be well received, and things like bath bombs/bath salts are often a big hit with mothers ;).

Or you could get her one of those ten gallon hats.

I know that your boobs look bigger by the tissue that is in them. Is there anyway that you can lose some of that tissue without having a breast reduction.

http://www.drdonnica.com/faqs/00006738.htm

"In general, women who are overweight (especially women who are significantly overweight) /may/ be able to reduce their bust size through a general weight loss program."

The article goes on to state that exercise may not have any effect at all on bust size. However, it seems that aside from exercise (which only has a small chance of working, and less if you're not overweight), there's not much you can do.

Does anyone know of any cute little DIY (Do It Yourself) gifts i could give to 14-15 year old girls? I'm already making them a customized CD and i thought i might make some chocolate covered pretzles...does anyone have anymore ideas? I've tried to google this but its difficult!

Straight from google. >_>


Here are some ideas to make your creative juices flowing:
Personalized scrap book.
Personalized apron for girls.
Personalized draw-string bag for girls with some jewellery and home-made hair accessories.
A couple of 'coupon' for: one day outing, staying up late, one chore-free day and so on.
Customs for pretend play.
Doll accessories: clothing, blanket, towel, diaper.
Home-made wooden blocks, felt puzzle or personalized wooden puzzle.
Home-made bedroom decoration accessories or a bedroom makeover.
Home-made car mats for boys. To make one, get 1 yard of canvas fabric, seam the edges. Paint the roads, stores, stadium, and so on.
Home-made sock puppets.
Old toy make over. This includes: repainting an old bike and adding 'bells-and-whistles' to it.
Personalized treasure box.
Audio casette of your own voice reading aloud your children's favourite book. The other variation of this item is to tell a story using your child as the main character.
Homemade dolls and stuffed animals.

Personally, I think that if you're a good artist or writer, it can't hurt to write/draw up a little something about them, that they're interested in. If they like fantasy, you could have them in princess garb, or write a short story about their encounter with leprechauns or something.

In the end, the best ideas come from you saying 'what would /I/ like?', and then trying to figure out how to make it legal/appropriate/cheap enough for younger girls ;P. Like, I don't know. A bookshelf, but with fairy stickers? Just tossing out ideas, here. >_>

Also, if you have time on your hands, you can look up origami, and make them a whole mass of the things! ^_^

Well Okay... first of all let me say thanks in advance for answering this.. i would really like opinions on this and sorry if this is long.. but i will rate fives for anyone who gives serious advice... (15/f)

Okay.. so first of all theres this kid who im really good friends with.. and ive known him since second grade. He is my best guy friend actually. And i like him too. I see him every day in school like he will come over to me in the morning and talk to me and once i had put my books in his locker. and he brought them to me knowing that i needed them. and he always pokes me and stuff. once he linked arms with me and just stood there for a while. and then he put his arm around my waist once too and just stood there. And well my school sells carnations for thanksgiving.. and well i sent him one.. and he sent me one.. and like im the only person he sent one too. and sometimes when im standing with him in the morning he looks at me when he thinks im not looking and this is not just like once.. so ya.. im wondering if he likes me or just likes me as a friend and what i should do about it if he does.. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME

Personally, I find that most (but not all, so keep your chin up!) of those things could probably be interpreted as just being a decent friend. The tell-tale signs, in my opinion, are the carnation and the 'arm around the waist'. Also, if you're constantly catching him looking at you, there's probably little doubt left.

As for what you should do, the first thing you should ask yourself if trying to get involved is a good idea - you have to consider that if it doesn't work out between you two, you may have lost a good friend. Of course, many good friends will ignore/pay no attention to old 'relationships'. Secondly, you have to try dropping some hints to him. Do you do the same sort of things he does? Stare at him, the like? If so, then he might already have an inkling that you like him, and you can move on. If you have some friends you trust, who are also friends with him, you can ask them to scope him out for you, and see if he really 'likes' you. It doesn't hurt to be sorry, and if he catches on to this, it lets him know that you're interested.
Then, you can try asking him places, trying to set up situations in which you can talk more deeply, and generally getting more friendly. It's hard to tell, but if you're lucky, there'll be a moment when it's the /perfect/ time to tell him how you feel. And if you're right about how he feels, this could turn out to be very memorable.

Hope it works out,
erendor.

Okay,so i have dark circles under my eye,and i think i'd be so mmuch prettier with out it.how much sleep should a 13 year old get a day? i'm trying to sleep on time,but you know how it is..=/.Besides any kind of make up to cover it (my school has bad lighting so you can see all cover up..it sucks =O)how can i get them away as fast as possible?Do YOU know any products that are to treat this? =),please,any tips are much appriciated.
p.s - i rate to 5s :D
--As truely as always,
Fighting the dark cirles

At that age, you're looking at about 9-11 hours of sleep a day. This might seem like a hell of a lot, especially for those of us *raises hand guiltily* who stay up 'accidentally' until one in the morning, completely forgetting it's a Sunday night. If you're getting less than eight hours uninterrupted sleep every night, then you need to look into some sort of mild sleeping tablet, or, preferably, try drinking something lukewarm before you try to sleep. Keep away from books, and make sure all radiation-emitting (read: televisions, computers.) devices are off. If you stay up late thinking about things, then try this: Visualise all these thoughts in your head. Take them, and stuff them in a sack. Tie it well, and throw it off a cliff. Try not to think too hard about this, though.

I can't/won't give you any help on make-up suggestions, sorry, both because I'm ignorant of any helpful products, and in that my views on make-up are...slightly slanted.

do just animals go through cellular respiration and plants go through photosynthesis, or do they both go through cellular respiration. (im not asking if plants go through photosynthesis, i know they do, im just wondering if they go through cellular respiration too.) thanksss

Short answer - yes. Most (meaning about 99%, I'd imagine) of plants experience cellular respiration.

You've heard how plants take in CO2 and give out oxygen? How this is crucial for life and stuff? ;P
Well, there's your respiration right there. Glad to be of help.
