I've wanted to get laser eye surgery since I first heard about it. I have pretty bad eyesight, but I didn't get contacts until I was a teenager. Every day I think about how amazing it was not to have to deal with contacts. I can look up information about the procedure and the risks and stuff myself, so what I'm looking for here is information from people that have been through it. What was it like? How much did it help? Tell me all about your experience (or the experience of someone close to you) and whether you think I'm making the right decision. Thanks already. (link)
Hey,

My aunt had the process, and it worked great...she was able to get rid of her contacts and glasses...the first few days are a little blurry...but after that...it is great...I would recommend it to anyone...that wants to get rid of the glasses...


For homecoming dance (this saturday) I got a really nice dress. the only problem is that it falls three inches past my feet. My mom says if i dont figure out how to shorten it or grow anoter few inches before saturday, she'll let my sister wear the dress instead because she wants to wear it now. Which isnt really fair since i was the one who found.

But anyway, is there anyway to shorten the dress by a few inches? I really need to know before saturday. please help!! (link)
Hey,

If you want to shorten the dress in a temporary way, so that your sister may be able to use it at a later time....go to a craft store or walmart and get some bonding tape, you just fold the dess up to where you want the new hemm and iron the tape on...it only takes minutes...then later just pull the tape off, you can use a warm iron if the fabic is delicate...the tape cost less than $5.00, then it will be back to the old size for your sister...


i heard that you shouldn't go to bed with wet hair..

Hey,

I need some hair tips i have really thick fizzy hair i mean really bad i cant even where it down my hair is always in a ponytail someone please give me some tips as how to leave my hair down and make it look good (link)
Hey,

If your hair is just Frizzy, you may want to try some oil treatments or heavy conditioners to add some weight to your hair...and talk with a good stylist that can suggest some things to make it less frizzy...if it just has alot of static..rub a few fabric sheet over it...and then comb it out....it works wonders...


is it a bad idea to use pads when you are cheerleading? thankss.. (link)

I have very bad eczema on my left hand and a little on my right hand. It flares up, I treat it with Demovate Steroid Cream and it goes down after about a week and a half. Three weeks later, just as my skin has healed, it comes back. This has been happening for six months and I need something that will get rid of it.

My doctor is referring me to a Dermatologist but I was wondering if there are any natural or herbal remedies for eczema I could try or anything I could do to prevent it? It feels like my hand is on fire first, then it's SO intensly itchy I can only run ice all over my hand constantly to help it and when it goes, my skin is wrinkled and prune like, scabby where I scratch in my sleep and the skin peels away.

Please help me if you can! (link)
Hey,

Let me tell you about this...it really, really works and is worth the process, because the cure last for months and months...

You find some black walnuts, still in their green shell, they are about the size of a tennis ball, you boil two or three of them in plain water and make a tea. Let the tea cool and soak your arm or you can take a bath in the tea, not in hot water, luke warm warm..hot water inflames the skin..you will want to soak the arm or take the bath for at least an hour....pat dry and use olive oil as a moistuzizer....this process will clear up your skin for months at the time...and cost only a few dollars..you can find the black walnuts by calling your local farmers market...trust me..it works...and the each time you do it the process last longer....and is milder the next time...


so i don't know why but i've all of a sudden broke out really badly in random places on my chin, cheeks, and forehead. i really don't know why because i use a clearasil pad when i wake up, clean and clear cream cleanser and aveeno non-comodogenic moisturizer in the afternoon, and a clearasil pad and invisible acne treatment stuff before i go to bed. but it still gets worse. what's the deal? HELP!!!

P.S. pro-active is NOT an option for me so don't suggest it. (link)
Hey,

One of the best things that you can do, is to take an egg white and put it on your face like a mud mask..let it dry and wash it off with a warm wash cloth...no soap...rise with cool water...pat dry...you will be so surprised...it works great..


ok so when i was younger and had chicken pox i scratched them so now im 18 and i have marks on my face from scratching. they look like holes in my face. does anyone know how i can make them look less obv other then just putting makeup over it. (link)
Hey,

Many adults have the same problem, the best thing to do is if it really bothers you, go see a plastic sur. most of them can use a laser to remove the scar...it is quick and easy and you won't need to worry about make up all the time...call around and ask what they advise...good luck


I got a couple of pumpkins for my porch a week or so ago, and they slowly got little bits taken out of them day by day. Then, yesterday I caught a squirrel munching on them. I would really like to put a bunch of pumpkins on the porch, but don't want to have a bunch of moldy pumpkins with holes all through them on my porch.

Anyone know of any way to deter a squirrel. Hopefully without poison or a pellet gun. (link)
Hey,

GO to your local hardware store or Radio shack and get one of those electronic pet devices that run them off with sound waves, it works, last for years, is safe and cheap...


My iron has black stuff on the bottom and it keeps rubbing off on white clothes but it won't be wiped off. Any tips for getting it off and any idea why it's there in the first place?! (link)
Hey,

Happens for a number of reasons...best thing to do is to use a peice of very fine sand paper to rub it off, run the warm ( not hot ) warm iron over a few peices of wax paper and you should be good to go..


I DESPERATELY need a way to clean out my closet and my room, and keep it that way. Right now its SUCH a war zone. Clothes fill it, just laying in a heap on the floor. They all need to be cleaned and I need an organized way to do this. (link)
Hey,

The best way to clean up a big mess like that is to pack a couple of suit cases like you are going on vacation..sit then in the hall way and put every thing in a box (s) . sort it and any thing that you don't use often throw out any thing that you want to save put back in the box and store in the actic...put your good stuff back in the room...


My boyfriend and I have been having sex only for a few weeks now. He's been enjoying it very much and it doesn't take him long to 'cum'. I see no pleasure in it at all. It doesn't hurt any longer, it's just...blah. Why is this happening? Is this on my part or his? I was a virgin before him and I thought sex was supposed to be amazing when you're in love! (link)
Hey,

I agree with the others...take time to learn what turns you on....if he is having fun, you should be having fun too...it's not all about him...

Hey,

Most guys are bent...so don't worry about it..


Hi, I am a 21 year old Canadian female. If you remember the last question about my friend who couldn't get her bfs penis into her. She went and bought some sex toys and she is using them to try and penetrate herself. The first time she used a vibrator with no batteries and worked her way in, but there was quite a bit of blood. The second time she used her bullet(vibrating ball) on every part of her vagina getting herself nice and relaxed then she used the vibrator along with it and she still found lots of blood that seems to come out while penetrating. How long does it take to penetrate? Is all this blood a bad thing or does it mean that her cherry isn't fully popped. How will she know when it is? She is very worried. Advice please?
Thank you. (link)
hey,

I agree she should go and see a doctor...it could be nothing...but that does not sound normal

I really want to get him something really special, memorable and just something he'll really appreciate.

Thanks in advance![: (link)
Hey,

Get him a ring with a nice inscription,the ring does not have to cost a lot and he will think about you every time he sees it on his finger...


My bf has a real mean streak in him when it comes to gay people. Well he told me one day that every time Queer Eye For The Straight Guy came on tv he felt like throwing his boot threw the screen. He also said he wanted to hurt Boy George every time one of his songs came on the radio; and when I told him I liked Will and Grace he gave me the dirtiest look. He doesnt just put down gays either he also makes derogatory remarks about women; that we are inferior to men and that they are smarter. It's also the WAY he says these things too; with so much hate in his voice. This one time I jokingly said women were smarter then men and he yelled "prove it"! And then he pulled out a chain linked puzzle. He said if I was so smart I could figure it out under a minute. I couldnt and he yelled "SEE"! Should I break up with him? (link)
Hey,

Honey take it from granny, if a man is too worried about gay guys, it normally means two things 1) he is gay 2) he is insecure. A real man is not worried about what goes in another persons bed, just his own....The best thing to do when he starts this bull is to say, is to tell him what grany says...and granny knows...it's one or the other...


hello i'm 14/f i havn't started my period this month. i am a virgen. i'm really scared and don't know what to do. is it possible for you to skip a month? please tell me if this is normal. i'm rally scared because this has never happened to me. thanks please help! (link)
Hey,

There may be a few reasons, have had a lot of stress, weight lose or changed your habits alot, as far as exercise...or are you around a different group of females,most females that are around a certain group of females will change their pattern and began to have a period at the same time of the month...if it does not correct in a couple of weeks, go see a guyno...


Does anyone know a really good way to get rid of pimples & zits? I am having the breakout of the year for some reason. I did the toothpaste thing. It didn't do too much except dried out my face so bad, I'm peeling. Also, I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide. I know, pretty tough, huh? Well, thankyou for any suggestions. (link)
Hey,

One of the best things to use will surpise you...Take an egg white ( the white Only ) and rub it over your face, let it dry and wash it off with a warm wash cloth...it really works....do this every other day....it will blow your mind how fast and well it works...


It has been about three years now, and I cannot get over my ex boyfriend. I don't know what to do anymore. The last couple of weeks were perfect. I thought I finally got over him when we stopped talking for a while, but we started talking yesterday and I realized that I'm not over him. He hurt me so many times. He did really messed up things and I need to get over him. And I feel as though I'm getting there until he calls or messages me. I already locked up all of his things and through away memories. I need to get over him, what else do I do??
:( (link)
Hey,

I have been there...you just have learn to love him in your heart in a way that you can and know that if things are meant to be he will come back to you...you will know it...just take one day at a time and things will work out for you...there in no on and off switch for love....
