how do u get rid of the cellulite on your legs? mine isnt that bad it just bugs me and since swim suit season is coming up i dont want people being like eww look at her! so what kinda of exercises or medicine can get rid of it? thanx a lot! (link)
hey. Everyone suffers from a little celiulite, but that doesn't meen you have to take this assualt on your legs. You can try creams and pills but lets face it, if they really worked don't you think everyone would be using them, or wouldn't you have to pay top dollar for this magical elixar? No they don't work. What will work though is excersise! Get down on all fours, face forward. Now lift you leg up high! Stretch those toes to your head. Do this with each leg about 20 times. It should only take a few minutes. Do this every day untill you see an improvement.Also if you have access to a gym, or someone who has excersice equipment do some leg strength training. If you do all this for about a month you will see a diffrence. By the time you put on that bathing suit you'll have people asking you whats diffrent about you. Oh and remember cut back on fatty foods.

hey there. What your doing is not bad at all. More than likely everyone you know masturbates. It is not a bad thing at all. Stop feeling guilty, i masturbate and i am proud of it. It makes me feel good, relieves stress and when i am with a partner i know what i like better because i have touched myself, so i can tell me partner what is good and bad. If you only masturbate while stressed that is a problem. This might sound crazy but try masturbating more often. This might actually relieve the stress that you have, and then you won't feel like you only do "it" when there is a problem at work. Engage in adult movies or pictures online, there is nothing wrong with that. Especially for someone your age. And above all Do Not Feel Guilty!!! It is not a problem, you are not wierd, dirty, or going to hell becuase of it. Enjoy having that personal time.


My boyfriends parents just said he could have the basement as a room to hang out in. He gets minor water leakage in one corner. We are going to move all the storage into the garage. the walls are already painted and in good condition. We are just going to use this room as a hang out. Any ideas or themes? Don't forget its all cement and has cement poles in there. Only 2 windows too.

Thanks!!!!! (link)
This sounds like the coolest space ever!! Ok here are some ideas. You were talking about making a themed room. Well here is one idea, ask me later if you want more ideas. Do you two like movies? Well if yes find some old movie posters at a thrift store/flea mall and put them on those ugly posts to make them stand out with style! Get some long bright red curtains to put on those windows. Tie them to the side with gold rope with tassels (to give it the old movie theatre look). Again go get this stuff at walmart or thrift stores to save money. Then get two old pieces of furniture. Somthing with like one or two drawers. Decoupage the tables or watever they are with magazine clippings of movie stars. The decoupage stuff should only cost a few bucks at wally world. Set up your tv/home video system in a good spot, along with a cool thrift store couch. I think you could take over from here, just look at the room and see where you can add little touches.


umm i almost have a 100$ and i wanna buy a pet my mom doesnt like reptiles or any thing that smells and my nana dont like anything that makes alot of noise that will make the dogs bark and my friend is guna make her chinchillas have babies but that might take awhile so should i wait to get a chinchilla or i might be able to get a guinea pig but i dunno please help!!!
ill rate high :) (link)
hey, i wouldn't get a guinea pig! I'll tell you why. Guinea pigs require a lot of attention. They can be very lonely creatures if they don't have a companion. The person with the guinea farm, well thats why they are so much fun to that person. They all have friends! They take an extrordinary amount of care. Guinea pigs cages need to be cleaned just about every day. It is not healthy for them to be arround their own garbage. They also require special diets to keep them happy and healthy. Fresh produce and grains! That adds up to a lot of money. As far as chinchilla's go. Again a bad choice. They can be very nippie (bight a lot). They to have very special diets etc etc. Try to stay away from larger animals and rodents. Go for somthing like gerbils, mice, or even rats. HAHA HAAH Yeah thats right rats! They really have a bad reputaion. Rats are actually ideal pets if you can get past all the yucky rumors. They are actually very clean animals. They are constantly preening themselves. They are easily trained (they actually learn to come when called)They adore people when purchased as a baby, are cheap to feed and easy to take care of. You won't be sorry.


My boyfriend, Linds, and I have been together for about a year and half. Well, I still like him and want to be with him. But, there's a problem. There's a guy in my Physics class that I tend to flirt with ALOT and he flirts back. I know that I don't like this guy; I'm just extremely attracted to his looks. He's not a bad guy or anything, he's actually pretty sweet and nice but Linds is so much more than that (hott too! :D). I always tell myself that I'm not going to flirt with him before class but of course I do.


Well, this past weekend, we were at the same party that Linds wasn't at and we almost kissed. I stopped myself and I'm glad I did. I don't know how to stop this and I don't want to ruin such a good thing with Linds. I have no idea what to do. I try to stay away from him but it never works. Any help with this situation is really appreciated, thanks.

Well it sounds like you are not ready for a serious relationship. I know thats the last thing you probably wanna hear, but hey keep all options open. If you can avoid this guy thats great, but what happens when another cute , hot fun, flirty guy comes along? See where this is going? Theres nothing wrong with getting out of the relationhip and just having a good time. Maybe thats what you really want right now. You can find others who want the same thing. Do yourself and this guy a favor, son't string him along. End it now, be honest and hey don't be apologetic. Its not your fault you wanna be care free. And you haven't done anything wrong! Good luck


Aright well just 3 weeks ago...my b/f broke up wit me cuz he thought that i cheated on him, when he was the one that slept with sum chic that he met ova the net...so basically he's blaming everythin on me! So anyway...ever since he broke up with me ive been kinda wantin to go bak out with him, but i kno that if i do all he's goin to do is hurt me again! I mean i guess i still kinda love him in a way...but i hate him at the same time,cuz of all the pain that he has put me through...i don't even talk to him anymore! so like i said before i wanna go bak out with him but then again i don't! Please sumome help me!

Thanx,
lost and confused! (link)
Run away!!! turn away and never look back. Listen i have had the same thing happen to me! It sucks, i mean it relly freaking sucks. My guy cheated on me, then spread a rumor i cheated on him etc etc. He's a jerk ok. Plain and simple. This guy desn't care about you, and if he does its only once and awhile! Love and respect yourself. Don't settle for him. Start dreaming of a man that loves you more than life itself, someone who would smack some hoe off his lap before he ever hurt you. It can happen i promise that. Just snubb that piece of garbage, and feel sorry for the stupid girl he's with now.


I am in a long distance relationship. I have opened up a serious conversation with my boyfriend, as he has in the past as well. We have discussed what we both want but lately it seems he is hiding something and I am not sure if it is just my own insecurity or if he really is hiding something.

we had made plans, as he recently got a promotion and had to cancel plans but has told me that we will be making plans soon again. he hasn't done this in the past to make me believe he is cheating but i think i feel as if something may be wrong. i have not got closer as i wanted to him when we last saw eachother. i brought this up to make sure we are on the same pg. as we both want as he did agree to what i had to say but sort of ended the convo. do guys not like to talk about it and just let it be or should i reask him why he did not watn to further the convo?

i have a lot of friends that seem to believe long distance relationships don't work but i do like this guy and i think we both are taking it more seriously than just a talk here and there. he is 32 and i am 26 and we know what we want as we are getting to know eachother and keeping in touch as much as possible and i do trust him. sometimes though it is hard not to ask if he is cheating? i guess i cant really believe i am writing this. i am secure with him and i think i may be an idiot and keep talking to this guy to really get to know him and stop assuming things. i have learned from the past but i think asking too many questions can be a real turn off. anyway...thought would like some advice.

hey, thats a tuff one. But not too tuff! Listen the next time you see each other set aside a nice day for you two. At some point in the day, try at lunch or dinner make him sit and talk about what is going on. Tell him exactly how you feel again! Then find out what he agrees with, and what he disagrees with. And find out why. Tell him this conversation is absolutely necessary to keep the relationship going (this might help get his attention). If he refuses to open up, i would suggest taking a vacation from each other. Life has a lot of good and bad things in store, and if you can't communicate (or he doesn't want to communicate) than the future looks pretty bad for both of you. It is common for guys to want to hide their feelings. Maybe he is insecure about somthing, maybe he has a complaint about the way the relatrionship is going but is scared to say? Or maybe he doesn't even know. Thats why you have to make him listen to how you feel, and demand (politely and gently) and answer from him. Hope it works out!


Well, back in November, my boyfriend and I broke up, the night before Thanksgiving . He had broken my heart once before at Homecoming night, but I forgave him. Well, the other day, I gave him a hug, and I realized that I missed him. But the only thing is that he has a girlfriend now. He is 14 almost 15 and I'm 17 almost 18, but to me age doesn't matter. Well, then out og nowhere, I started talking to best friends brother, who is 15 or 16, but from what I know, he hates my guts. I don't know a lot about that situation but his brother and him hate each other and anyone who is friends with his brother, he hates, which I am his brothers best friend. Then, I ran into my other ex the other day and we exchanged numbers. We talked last night and come to find out that what I had assumed came true. He asked me when we were going to get back together. Last time we went out, he "said" that his father was making him break up with me because I was too young for him. He was 18 and I was around 14 or 15. What should I do? (link)
Hey, no worries. This right now might seem to be real tuff to deal with, but it doesn't have to be. First of all, don't worry about that guy that broke your heart. He's old potatoes! Anyone that has ever had their feelings hurt by someone usually still has some feelings toward that person after the relationship is over. A lot of times thats because people feel like they somehow caused the problem. Just don't hang around that guy, he will probly do the same thing to his new grlfrnd. As for this other guy. Get rid of him to! Who wants to be involved with someone who only listens to their father, and doesn't even think of the way you might feel? And as far as his age, his dad is right! If you care about him, don't let him go to jail for you! It sounds like a no win situation, but its not. Find someone who is close in age to you, who won't break your heart or stop seeing you because they're parents don't want them to get in trouble. Good Luck!
