Q: i have an nano ipod. and i use itoons to put my songs on it and i have to pay for it. which sucks. does anyone know anything i can use to get songs for free???
yes, just download Limewire. search for it in google and it'll show you the website. Has pretty much all songs, all you have to do is search for it, let it download, then drag it to your iTunes playlist (: instead of paying 100's of dollars for music.

Q: i have been with my boyfriend for almost a year but im starting to have major feelings for an ex boyfriend. i know its very bad of me but my boyfriend now just isnt making me happy anymore and i dont know what to do. my boyfriend lies to me about everything so im to the point i dont know whats real and whats a lie. hes lied about smoking (twice), going to a party, going to school, and to as stupid as how much he spends on something. i just dont understand. he tells me hell change but hes said that since day one and it continues. also on two occasions he didnt go to school once i found an earring and the other time i found an ankle bracelet. i asked whose it was and he told me he didnt know. i told him i thought he was cheating on me and he got all mad and said he wasnt. im just not happy anymore. i love him to death though. but my ex boyfriend and me have been talking the past 3 days and im not sure whats gonna happen but hes making me so happy. ive been smiling nonstop and hes making me feel whole i talked to him yesterday from 1:30 pm all the way til 5 am nonstop. on the internet and phone. i just dont know what to do. i dont want to hurt my boyfriend but in the same sense im not happy. but i dont wanna rush it with my ex boyfriend either. please help me
If your current boyfriend loves you as much as you love him, he shouldn't have a problem with just being friends and eventually just accept it as long as he knows you're happy, but then again he shouldn't have started lying in the first place either (if he loves you). If you really aren't happy with him, I think you should definitely break up, especially if things aren't progressing. But also keep in mind to leave space between the time of breaking up, and the possible getting back together with your ex. Tell him straight up that you love him, but just can't take his lies anymore or wait until you can trust him again, it would take too long and it would be better as friends because you wouldn't have to worry about those things. If you're also okay with the idea of him having a new girlfriend, then I think it's time to move on,,

I hope I helped :)


Q: Is there any food from the McDonalds menu that is SLIGHTLY HEALTHY: such as a salad, that comes with the monopoly stickers?

I know that mcDonalds is just very unhealthy overall, but what are the healthiest things on the menu (that come with the stickers?
Only the french fries come with stickers. I believe large drinks do also

Q: i want to dye my hair a shade of red. now like a bright vibrant red, but one thats darker and closer to a brownish color, if you know what i mean. http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/9411/dsc02095oa1.jpg
thats what i look like. its not the best picture of me, but the lighting makes my skin tone show up right, along with my eyes.


so basically, my question is should i dye my hair? and what shade. I really want some kind of change in my hair, besides a haircut.

I think a good shade of red/auburn/brown would look good. I wanted the same thing so i bought Loreal Color Pulse in "hot mahogany" a temporary dye before i chose one i really liked. Just so you don't dye it permanently a color you don't like the result of, i'd say try that :)

Q: This question doesn't even relate to the Rolling Stones, but you've seen their tops; they have the tongue!
My realy question is, can you roll your tongue?
I want to survey how many people can and can't. Answer this if you can or can not.
If you are an 'expert', can you tell me how? How long does it take?
I'm taking Spanish 1: Do you need to roll your tongue?

Thanks so much!
Anything will help; and you might get a points!
Me, I was born already knowing how to roll my tongue. I thought everyone could but actually many of my friends can't! I managed to teach some. To roll your tongue, fold your tongue back so the bottom of it is touching the roof of your mouth. now keep trying to blow out, but in a way that hits your tongue. It sounds complicated but after you know how it is not. Just know that when you're trying you have to somehow use your tongue muscles to help roll your tongue, it's not just the blowing out that does it. hahah :)

Q: I'm thinking of going natural. No makeup or lots of hairspray.

-Would that make my skin texture better? [My pores look huge around my nose, not on my nose.]

-Would it make my acne go away? [My old acne]
For some reason I'm not getting new acne, it's just these red bumps on my face that have been there..for weeks. Anything I can do to get them to go away? [No proactive, please.]

I also want healthier hair. It's damaged I'm sure. It was bleached. I use "Pantene Pro-V Restoratives." Does it really work? Any products or any tips for anything will be helpful.

I won't rate low because you didn't answer all my little questions in here.

I just want healthier looking skin and hair. :]
Thankssss.
If you've been wearing concealer or some sort of blush, your skin will definitely be better off without it. For your skin I reccomend using "Oil Free Acne Wash" by Neutrogena, and St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Once a week you could also use a face mask to help with your pores such as Clear Pore Cleanser/mask by neutrogena. And I'm pretty sure that Pantene shampoo will help, but you might want to try the Tresse'me brand, it's good.


Q: hi! you answered my question before about my first day of school outfit (the blue & brown polo, and jean skirt) and i've changed my mind about the outfit i want to wear, and i want your opinion on it :]

shirt: its this but in maroon

same skirt as before:
http://store.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=648&itemID=46122&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter=

but i'd wear this cami under the sweater:
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=Dressy+Tops&product%5Fid=2029331385&Page=6#

its that cami but in brown.

and brown flip flops. i'd also wear this long brown necklace that i'd wrap around my neck twice. here is a picture of me in this outfit so you can see the necklace:

let me know what you think :] oh and i'd also wear gold earrings.
I think that would be a super cute oufit for the first day! I lovee the hollister shirt and the gold neckalace =) perfect outfit!


Q: I am getting a hamster in 2 days and I was going to get a Dalmation hamster but I would love to know any other breeds people reccomend that I could find in a pet store. Thanks!
Personally I reccomend a black bear :) the pet store people told me it's the friendliest kind, and they're really cute too!! :)

Q: Which is better and easier to use: Windows Movie Maker or Adobe(I forgot what's the specific name of the program, though)?
Also, please try to give me the different features of the two... Our class is making a film for our project and I need to learn how to edit soooo bad....
Thanks in advance!
For just a film project I say you should use Windows Movie maker, it's simpler and WAYYYYYYY easier to understand while Adobie Premier, is a proffessional editing system used to make movies, but does require loads of learning how to do. If you use windows you'll pick up on everything alot faster. It still has cool effects though, and you can add in voice overs or music if you wanted to, but not at the same time considering its pretty simple editing. If you're making a video that's going to be over the top with editing then use Adobe, but I doubt it.
Hope I helped :)


Q: 14/f. i'm going into 9th grade, which at my school is the last year of middle school, and i think i know what i want to wear for the first day of school, but i don't want to look like everybody else. this is what i was planning on wearing:

skirt:
http://store.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=648&itemID=46122&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter=

shirt:
http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_297743_-1_12628_12552

it is that but the stripes are light blue & brown. and i'd wear brown flip flops. i'd also straighten my hair.

what do you guys think? i don't want to look like every other girl there, so if this isn't a good outfit, then any suggestions will really help!
hey, i'm going into my freshmen year too and knowing how people are, that's probably the exact sort of thing everyone would wear. I like to mix up my style , it helps create a different look. Try going into your closet and layering shirts/ tanks seeing what looks cute. Always add jewelery too :) neckalaces, earings are nice. (Hair down=small earrings, hair up=bigger earrings)If you ask me accessories complete an outfit, so a belt would be cute too. I think you should definitly wear the skirt tho :)


Q: hi im 13/f and i am really confused i went out with this guy for like a year.during that year he never once kissed me,never asked me to call him and we never held hands or anything but after a year he broke up with me.i dont no the reason but he did. i still have really strong feelings for him.so a year passed by and he is in a lot of my classes.in one class he sits right next to me and lately he has been talking to me a lot and flirting and he even likes to sit under my desk during class while we r watching a movie.he even told me to call him and gave me his number and walks with me to my next class,he invites to hang out with him at lunch at school, lately i feel like closer to him then i have when we were going out,why is hes doing this
cuz if he likes me still why did he break up with me?if he asks me out do i take the second chance cuz i really like him alot? help soon please
t.l.h.
The reason he broke up with you the first time might've been because the whole time he was too shy to make a move and was just waiting for you. I think it's good that you've gotten another oppurtunity, so maybe you should be a little more flirty with him, and if he asks you out, try holding his hand first, things like that

hope that helped,

Q: There is this girl that is always saying "hey" to me when I come into my reading class. Does this mean she likes me?
It probably means that she likes you.. well depending what age you are. Try saying hi to her sometimes. Or, pay attention if she says hi to everyone, or just you!

Q: i feel so weird because im 15 and i havent had my first kiss yet. is this normal?
Totally normal! Most people that have gotten their kiss any younger than that probably didn't even really like the person they kissed. So you have the oppurtunity to recieve your first kiss from someone you actually like, not being dared to or pressured.

Q: My male hamster died in march and my friends male hamster died in May. she recently got a female hamster and says that the girls are more energetic and sweet then males. I always thought boys were nicer than girls? I would like a girl better but I want to get the nicest gender. What should I choose?
I personally think you should choose a boy hamster :). The girl ones, being energetic, will bite sometimes and be mean while the male ones aren't. They also sometimes try to jump out of your hands. So i personally don't mind a slightly lazy hamster :)

Q: i tend to fall back on grades because of my organization skills. how can i be more organized?
Always keep a binder with separated subjects to keep homework organized and you might wanna try writing down a schedule/ like a planner for homework/ days of tests/ etc. Hope this helps.


Q: ok so here is the deal. i shave down there region. but i always get razor burn and ingrown hairs. is there anyway to prevent this from happenes. becuase i just dont like my boyfriend looking at it after i shave becuase i think it liiks ugly. please help. oh yeah i am 19
Everyone pretty much answered your main question. But to make the razor burns, etc, diminish/disappear for now or if it continues put some "hydrocortisone cream" on the burns it'll help loads. You can pick it up at any drug store/Savons etc. yup hope that helped!


Q: Hi,

I recently bought some clothes from the Hollister at my mall. I am a 17 year old boy and think the clothes are nice.

When I got home and showed my 13 year old brother the clothes I got (a polo and a sweatshirt) he started screaming at me and said that only posers and gays were Hollister.

I know quite a few people don't like Hollister and quite a few people do.

I am wondering what people think of boys who wear Hollister?
I disagree with alot of the girls that gave you advice... personally I think hollister is unoriginal because you see a zillion people wearing the same exact outfit. So I really don't like guys that wear hollister/abercrombie. You're brother just has his own point of veiw just like everyone else. Here's how it is generally: girls that wear hollister/ abercrombie like guys who wear hollister/ abercrombie. and girls that don't.. well i guess they don't. But whatever, wear what you want as long as you actually like it and aren't wearing it just cause it's Hollister, or whatever brand.


Q: ok. i am so VERY shy!! and i hate it. well most of the times. i mean sometimes i dont mind being shy but other times i hate it!!! so how can i like not become shy1!?!?!?!?!like for my sport that i do EVERYONE is so loud and stuff and im like not. so i feel left out. and im not very outgoing like how do i become more of that tooo? lol i dont know if you can change that... but i was just wondering.
The reason your shy may be because you're scared of what others think if you were to be outgoing? All I can say is just talk when you're in groups, give your point of views, and don't be embarassed to do something spontaneous! Just always be yourself though, don't change for anyone.


Q: are there any stores that sell hollister and abercrombie for less cuzi im on a tight budget! please help if you know any stores! =]
You might want to check out stores like TJ Maxx and Ross, I know they have stuff from Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle. If that's not convenient, find a second hand store near you! Loads of clothes like that for super cheap :)


Q: i was always a diligent student. not a slacker. well, ever since last year, I feel too incredibly lazy to work. it's not really even lazy because i can go outside and work out and do stuff like that, BUT, i can't do school work anymore and i don't like it. i get super distracted, like more than usual. i read things, and i don't understand them. and it's only with school. i don't know. it's mot really a good thing. it's like school isn't even a priority. and i don't want to be a slacker. i got ok grades last year. but, i want to do even better! could i have ADD? i don't know. any advice would be helpful
You sound incredibly like me. 8th grade year I just stopped working and got lazy with only my school work. If i didn't get something, I never took the time to try and just left my homework incomplete. Actually most days I didn't do any homework whatsoever, I did it during my classes and in the morning and school! A really horrible habit to break. Now I'm going into freshmen year hoping to change all that. You might have ADD, because I do also. What can I say? Tell your parents so they can set something up if it really is ADD. If not, try to set your mind to your work by keeping super organized and writing things down, it helps. If you need any more help please ask!
