If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

I was made fun of a lot during school for my eyes and people would tell me to open my eyes and call me names..Do you think my eyes look slanted and how can I get them to not look like that without surgery? Makeup?

They do it because they're jealous.
Your eyes are awesome. They're unusual but work with your face very well.
People spend hours applying makeup to get eyes that look like yours - you should be happy you have the real thing.
Embrace them. and be happy you don't have a common face, like the ones who have horrible things to say to you!

ALL ANSWERS AND ADVICE WILL HELP SO PLEASEEEEE COMMENT!!! ;);)

Saturday I am having a big party for St. Patricks Day where there will be alcohol. Obviously. However, I have a bacterial infection down there... (NOT an STD) and today I was given Metronidazol (250mg) to take 3 times a day for a week to get rid of it.

But apparently you CAN NOT take it with alcohol. I guess it can make you very sick. So... should I wait until after Saturday to take it or should I start taking it now and then maybe stop Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then continue? I'm not gonna ask my doctor cuz she is near impossible to get a hold of and my dad works at the pharmacy I go to and he doesn't know I drink...

I Need Answers ASAP so I know if I should take it tonight or not!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right. Consuming alcohol with that particular medicine will make you extremely sick - it's what they give to alcoholics so they can't drink.
I know it's frustrating that a bunch of tablets can ruin a party but your health is more important here.
You can't start taking it, stop, drink, then start taking it again, because it just won't work - antibiotics take a little while to do their thing, that's why you get a course of them.
If you really want to drink, then don't start your course until Monday/Tuesday, because if there's still alcohol content in your blood, it can also make you sick when you start mixing it with Metro tablets (or metro gel).

How often is too often to masturbate yourself?

Everyone is different.
If masturbation is getting in the way of you living your every day life, then you have a problem.

Please, a direct answer to question, What is a painless way to committ suicide? Please no advise on help groups and please do not respond with reasons I should continue living.

Advicenators isn't the place to come for ways to commit suicide. We have younger users on this website, not to mention we can't go into any graphic detail about things which can be harmful to others.

It hurts to go to the bathroom and I've had this problem before 6 months ago, I went to the doctor and they had to look at me and then they gave me some powdered white stuff to drink. I'm not comfortable with a doctor lookin at me though. Now it hurts to poop and it stings
A couple of days ago when I try to poop there was kind of a lot of blood, but there isnt anymore, it just stings and hurts. What can I do to get rid of this pain?

We aren't doctors but a doctor wouldn't be able to diagnose you over the internet anyway.
The symptoms you have described could be caused by a number of things.
Make an appointment asap to get it sorted and stop suffering.

what if your webcam is on a laptop u cant return it or take it out

You could try getting it repaired. If not, just buy another webcam and plug it in your usb port, you don't always have to use the built in one.

My bf's birthday is coming up and I want to get him a scent that will just make me want cuddle up next to him or jump his bones lol like the sort of scent worthy of spraying on my pillow or on tshirts that I wear around the house to remind me of him. He's in his early 30s and I have no idea what kind of scents I like on guys so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

One Million by Paco Rabanne. My favourite smell on a guy so far. I got it for my brother as a present and my boyfriend liked it so much, he had to have it too. Everyone always compliments it (girls and boys) The lady one smells absolutely gorgeous, too! Definitely worth a go testing it. Let me know what you think.

y do people try to stop people when they want to die? its probably for a good reason that they do not want to live anymore

You only get to live once, so you might as well make the most of it and not end it prematurely.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I'll always remember that saying. and if anyone I know was contemplating killing themselves, I'd try my hardest to get them the help they need to survive.

Sometimes when Im at home, I cant see anything for a few seconds and then I can see again. It happens a lot everyday. Its been happening for a while and its gotten worse. I cant see anything but the dark for a few seconds. what is this?

sometimes when I stand up I loose all vision and get light headed. I do wear contacts. Why do I go blind sometimes?

Sometimes i got blind for a few seconds, like ill stand up and ill get this weird feeling in my head and i wont be able to see for about a second or two.

I get dizzy, cand black dots start to appear everywhere & then my ears start ringing & everything goes dark

I get it sometimes.. I will go dizzy, lose my vision and my head feels funny. I mentioned it to my doc because it started happening a lot and apparently, it was a sudden drop in my blood pressure.

Check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension#Symptoms

With all things like this though, it's advised to see a doctor, because there could be different reasons as to why it's happening to you. Get checked out asap to put your mind at ease.

Can anybody please tell me how i can get cheek dimples without surgery?

Have you seen cheek piercings?

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/74/acb601668f07ce8f0ff15f6e60d60da8/l.jpg

They make it look like you have dimples. Note that when you take out the jewelry after having them for quite some time, the "man made" dimples will stay.

Only thing you'll be able to do that's not as serious as surgery, whilst still getting the desired dimple look.

Research it. :)

I'm 18. I'm a female. I need some NEW music to clean my room to. I'm used to Owl City, Jason Marz, Rihanna, the Beatles, anything popular... Just list some stuff you think I'd like or just some stuff you love! I'm open to anything.

The Rocket Summer. My all time favourite. He's amazing!

it was my baby sisters birthday and so i wanted to look older and more like my mom so i wore a little mascara to school but then my mom saw it when she picked me up and got really mad, and said that we would 'talk' about it adter the party and im really scared. i want to tell her why i did it but i feel like she is going to think its really stupid...so to get to the point...i dont know what to say, how to act, or what is going to happen. what do i do?

Mothers don't like to see their daughters grow up too fast - it's natural.
There's no need to lie about it - just simply tell her you wanted to look more like her for a special occasion (your sisters birthday)
Don't worry about it, hunny. It's just a mothers way of looking out for you.

I love to wear lip gloss, but I don't have any money to afford it(I'm too young for a job), Is there any way for me to make my own lip gloss, like with sugar or something?

You can make your own, if you have bees wax/containers/oils for flavour and scents lying around your house!
It's really easy to do, you just melt all your ingredients together (in a microwave for example) and pour it into a pot and let it cool. If you do have the above items in your house, I suggest getting an adult to help you.

If you don't have the above items in your house:

Have you got any vaseline? A quick application to your lips leaves them looking very soft with a lovely shine. Same as cocoa butter.

Have you already asked who takes care of you for some lip gloss? What did they say? Is it the fact that it's too expensive (because you can get much cheaper ones!) or the fact they say you're too young? If being young is the reason, what about settling for a nice flavoured lip balm? They still make your lips have a nice shine to them and they smell/taste great whilst keeping your lips nice and soft.
Perhaps come to a compromise - for example, if you do the dishes for a week, you are allowed lip gloss/balm..

Let me know how it goes. :)

If your gf is away at college and has guys of one her friends sleeping in her room with her and her roommate and she cuddles with him would you look at it as cheating or something to be mad/hurt about? Or if they slept in the same bed? Guys and girls opinions are good

Cuddles aren't really cheating in my eyes - however, you need to address to her that it's making you upset that she's seeking affection from other males. Could just be that she doesn't realize how you feel about it?
I think it's more the fact that you aren't there to see exactly what is going on, which in turn arouses suspicion.
Talk to her about it - and if she isn't willing to stop something as simple as cuddling up to other people in bed, maybe you should reconsider your relationship.

I have a brand new laptop, from first day the web cam is blurry I played with all the options and and played with the lights, nothing changes the blurry factor, got an other suggestions?
Thanks Man

Might be stating the obvious here, but is there a little protective film over the top of it which needs peeling off?!
Without knowing which laptop you have, I can't give much help.
Could it be that it's just a low quality webcam?
Google the model of your laptop and see if there's any info about the webcam spec, or see if there's an info book which came with your pc which might help you out.
Let me know how it goes!

what is a cute nicknames for a boy named matt

My boyfriend is called Matt, so I call him things which we've used as an inside joke, such as Maffew, or Mashu, as his baby nephew likes to call him!
It's always more fun/personal when you come up with something yourself :) Have fun thinking!

If my hubby is sad or scared or upset he wants me to hold him and calls me mommy. We've been married for almost 13 years and we don't have any children. Is it normal for him to act like this ? He's 35 years old almost 36.

Have you actually asked him why he calls you it? There could be some psychological issue here, but I don't want to start throwing around a diagnosis when infact, it could be nothing at all, like a silly joke for instance, or the possibility of him wanting children?
The fact he wants you to hold him sounds normal - many people like to be comforted in a time of need, but without knowing you 2 personally, the "mommy" issue will have to be addressed by a professional.
If he has trouble talking about it with you, see if he's willing to talk to a therapist.

What does it mean when my gf urine blood ?

Thanks for inboxing.

I take it she's not on her period?
Blood in urine can mean many different things, ranging from the food she's been eating (has she had beetroot?) to something which will need medical attention (like an infection for example)
Is there a lot of blood? Is it dark red/bright red? Any pains anywhere? Any chance she could have contracted an STD such as Chlamydia?
Your girlfriend will need to see a doctor because as you can see, the list is endless as to what it could be.
She will need to go asap, because she may need treatment.
Let me know how everything goes in feedback - I hope she's okay soon. :)

please im goin to have sex today and i need to know how to put a condom!!

Do you have the box it came in? If so, there will be an instruction leaflet inside, if not:

I just need adive on what to do if ur 15 nd u dont wana have sex and wana be a virgin

Be strong and don't let people pressure you and give in.
If it helps, get yourself a ring/bracelet, which signifies your purity. Everytime you look at it, it will remind you.
