okay, i'm not sure i'm spelling this right. but i have two cladder(?) rings. like the irish jewelry. with the heart, and the hands and the crown. well i have two. what exactly do they mean? i know its suppose to like signify that you're taken or single but what else? because for christmas my boyfriend bought me a necklace with a charm of the cladder(?) thing on it because he knows i always wear the rings.

The hands represent friendship, the heart represents love and the crown represents loyalty. If you wear it with the bottom of the heart pointed out from your hand- it means your heart is open and if you wear it the other way it means you are taken and your heart is closed.

what is tofu? is it expensive? and it does it have protein? thanks to any of the answers

BARFFFFFFFFFFFF and that comes from someone who has raw eggs frequently.

Besides- since it is soybean based that means the majority of protein content comes from- you guessed it soybeans. The problem with that is that soy protein is really a waste of money because the body does not digest it effectively and it really isn't a good protein source to begin with. Save your money.

O and did I mention-

BARFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Is it true that if you take vitamin c pills (1000% of vitamin c needed in one day) and you are pregnant that it can kill the baby because the vitamin c overpowers it?

Iam not a doctor- but I do know that since Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin it is VERY hard to overdose with it since any excess is just passed through the urine instead of being stored in bodyfat (Just remember ADEK which sounds like "Attic" when you think of the fat soluble vitamins which could be a lot easier to overdose on.) Might wanna ask a doctor though.

plz send me e mail in same add.

1.) The body hits its peak in growth from 18-22.

2.) No.

3.) No it isn't a disorder; just look at any gym where every guy loves to flex his biceps and shoulders yet never flexes his legs. We call it "Tanktop Trainer Syndrome".

4.) Do more Squats.

5.) I don't know what you're asking here. But I think you are asking about the hormones. Basically- especially with males; the body is a hormone pool from 18-22 and is beginning to finally come into it's adult form. Most people stop growing at around 22 or 23.

i'll be taking drivers ed in March. but i want to start in January which is when i turn of age to start driving education. i live in south lyon, Michigan and i dont know where i can take a course not far away. i dont want to go through school cause like i said i want to start earlier. does anyone know where i can start early but not far from south lyon Michigan? thanks

Here's a novel idea- Take out a phonebook and look under driving schools to see what is near you. Hell, Google even has a phonebook. Makes a lot more sense than waiting for an answer on here doesn't it?

You're not missing much with driving either- it's the greatest thing in the world for the first 2 weeks you're able to do it and then it becomes like anything else.

I'm 22/F.. I've always been thin, and a slow-eater. I have never been mindful of my weight or body image. I eat what I want, trying to have good nutrition, of course, but never skip on anything I might crave, like chocolate or ice cream.. I'm 5'6 and weigh about 117 (the last time I checked). This is considered normal for my body type, but i could afford to gain a few pounds. I know a lot of women want the opposite, but not me. Is there anyone who knows how I can gain a couple extra pounds/build more muscle while staying healthy? I do yoga fairly regularly and try to maintain a good diet, though it's sometimes difficult since I'm a student. Thanks!

Well the weight gain is going to come from increased resistance training (which yoga is not) and more calories. You sound pretty healthy and if you don't train with weights yet- start to now; it will compliment the yoga well.

Now most results we see (good or bad) come mainly from the diet. You can add calories slowly and subtly by increasing portion size- just eat more of what you have been eating and maybe add in more complex carbohydrate calories from pasta in particular. Also don't be afraid to use condiments such as mayo, mustard, ketchup with certain things and dairy always helps pack on a few pounds. In between a meal you can have a big peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread with a big glass of milk. Just add in the calories slowly; but don't be afraid to eat.

ok so i'm a freshman(girl) and this kid is a senior(boy). we are dating, although my father doesn't know that or i'll be dead. but anyways, my brother is a junior and he's tellin my parents he's a crack pot and a drug dealer, which he's not his friend is, so they don't like him. my mom is more leanent on this situation but my dad is horrible. the kid called the other night and my dad was like DON'T CALL HERE YOUR A SENIOR GET SOMEONE YOUR OWN AGE. and so yeah he hasn't called back. so he doesn't have computer so he told my friend that we needed to talk. so i call him up and we were talking about what to do with my parents and i said blow them off. and my dad walks down and gets on the phone and screams at him and is like I'M GONNA TELL YOUR FATHER AND SEE HOW HE FEELS IF YOU CONTINUE TO TALK TO MY DAUGHTER I ALREADY TOLD YOU ONCE NOT TO TALK TO HER. then he gets off the phone and is screamin at me and is like I DON'T WANT YOU TALKING TO THAT KID HE'S TOO OLD FOR YOU. IF THIS KEEPS UP I'LL EITHER BEAT HIS ASS OR GET HIS PARENTS INVOLVED. so my question is, WHAT SHOULD I DO?!!!!! i don't know because i really like this kid and he really likes me and i don't wanna end this but i don't want anyone getting hurt

You know that your dad was once his age at a time also and knows all about his game- senior in high school with a girl 4 years younger than him who would be infatuated that she has a boyfriend who is older....any clear thinking person (especially a father) can see that one from a mile away. My advice is to have some respect for your father and be thankful that he at least cares who his daughter associates with. Break it off; save everybody a whole lot of heartache and drama...you don't want to put yourself, your boyfriend or your father in any position that could be bad- especially if it could be avoided.

It's not the end of mankind...there's plenty of other guys in the world who are your own age.

is it unhealthy to have less than 750 calories a day if you still get all your vitamins?

Absolutely not. At least 1200-1500 no matter what you're trying to do.

Hey um well i was reading your advice column and i thought some of it was really good so i wanted to ask you a question. I am 15, 155lb and 5'3".
My question is ever since this summer i ahve started to sweat more and i am now even though its winter and really cold. i used to never be a problem but even when its warm i ahve to wear a jacket or black tshirts so i was just wondering if you knew of anything i could do and maybe it has somehting to do with my weight?

ps right now im working to lose weight so if you have anyideas that could help that would be great.

Some of the column was good? You should have just said you loved all of it :-P I am j/k

Could have something to do with weight; diet and exercise causes major change to our bodies- especially when you're just beginning and it isn't used to the stress that is put on it. Homeostasis is tougher to maintain when you're starting out. Wait it out and see.

Eat right, exercise and live healthy and you're on your way.

If seems like everyone wants to be thin. Does being skinny mean your heathy. I mean there are thses girls that pig-out on junk food and are lazy, but there skinny? WHAT THE HECK!!! I'm having weight problems and I jsut don't know what to do. I can get up put on shorts and tennis shoes and have lots of engery - but I don't know what to do with that engery. I know what your thinking just go to a site to get some exercise moves. I guess i'm spazing. Any enercise tips, opions about skinny is heathy?, or something to jsut make me feel better - Thanks. =)

I can tell you that being skinny or muscular doesn't automatically mean healthy. They don't always go hand in hand. I know plenty of guys who are bigger and stronger than me who eat great but they just have a lifestyle that doesn't necessarily make them healthy; they'll smoke, do drugs, not do any cardio etc. I try and stress to everyone who comes to me that your no.1 goal should be to live a healthy lifestyle and STOP thinking about becoming Pamela Anderson's stunt double; that all comes later on down the road. You can have a killer body; but without it being a healthy one you're just going to see it all go to waste- if you don't have your health then you have nothing. Make the lifestyle changes before making the physical changes is my best advice.

Hey im starting to workout cause my bmi is a little high. So I need some ideas for some music that I could work out to. I like all kinds of music so any ideas you have would be great.

Depends on what you're into. I personally listen to some twisted shit when I train lol. To give you an idea; I'll list a few and if you like metal then you will like these:

Kill the Assholes- Stormtroopers of Death
Angel of Death- Slayer (If you're easily offended don't listen to that)
Jihad- Slayer
Sergeant D and the S.O.D- Stormtroopers of Death
Your head is mine- Unleashed
Reign in Blood- Slayer

Those are a bit intense, but they get you pumped lol.

I have a biology ISU due soon and its worth 15% of my mark. Im doing a project on diets and how it affects people. I got some people doing different diets for me to see which one works out the best. The thing is i could really use a website that explains what happens to the body when you diet, in very biologic terms. If you know a website please help, thanks in advance

Send me an inbox question with the info that you need and I'll be glad to help you out.

I want to know if my 14 year old friend can talk to and visit with her 18 year old boyfriend, who just got out of jail and has not been convicted off any crime yet, but my 14 year old friends dad had my 18 year old friend arrested because they had been sexually active, then the dad dropped the charges and charges were picked up by the State, they are not 4 years apart in total age and we live in Oklahoma?

That's why its called Statutory- doesn't matter if someone presses charges or not; it's automatic. The best thing you can do is look it up in the OK state penal code or call one of your local police precincts as there are no lawyers or police officers from OK on here that I know of. Depends on the laws of your state; in one state this may be statutory rape, in others it could be something like sexual misconduct. Look it up and be on the safe side and don't base your answers on people who have watched a few episodes of Law & Order.

=D hey this is for the guys..
when you see a girl... do you actually notice what they are wearing and what makeup they used that day and how there hair looks?

just wondering.. because i know most people, probably including me... all try to look perfect for the guys.. but do you guys even notice?

[: thanks.

I certainly do.

I'm a guy and I just turned 18. I'm basically afraid of getting drafted, and so are my parents. They said they would do anything to get me out of it if I ever did get drafted, like move me to a different country or make me handicapped or something.

I just want to know how likely it is for a draft to happen.

Relax. There isn't going to be a draft, the anti-Bush liberal media just kicks shit around to push their own jealous agenda. One more reason to watch the Fox News channel.

And yes I know you still should exercise and eat right, I'm just wondering if its actually healthy, and what other kinds of teas there are like greentea? that help you lose weight,

No it doesn't work. Trust me.

Why do you like your boyfriend/girlfriend?
Just your honest opinion :]

Something more than looks, please.

Simple- She's Hot!

lol, no I am actually single.

2 days ago after school, i decided to do my homework on the desk right on the computer.(our computer is on a desk thing so you can write on the desk) well on the computer i had absolutatly NOTHING up. no internet, aim, email, AOL, NOTHING related to the internet. i also had the volume up on the computer. well while i was doing my homework, out of no where this man's face pops up on my computer screen. i swear it scared me like hell. i was sick to my stomach. i swear i felt like the face was staring at me or something. i really have no clue how this guy's face popped up.. and im still scared today. can anyone please tell me what the hell this was?? THANK YOU A LOT.

That's pretty cool. Careful when you look into the mirror from now on :-P

My advice- Don't watch The Exorcist.

my busdriver makes me sit in seat #2 on the bus because i "turned around". my busdriver said that its my permanant seat, no ands,ifs,or buts. its so annoying and i want to be with my friends in the back. i don't want to sit with the geeks in the front and when my friends come on the bus, they need to sit in the front with me. it sucks and i need help. i am not even turning around on the bus, its always the guys.

It's exactly people like you who make the job of a bus driver miserable. He is the boss of the bus, just do what he says. Grow up. Seriously.
