I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:



"Exert your talents,
and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ Whell, I just started going out with a guy, and whell I want to make him feel really special and great..what are some little things I could do that would make him feel wonderful (besides sex and things of that nature heh) Also what are things I can say that wont scare him so early in the relationship but that let him know that I am happy I have him...

thanks
Wow, theRe's a million things to be done to let someone know how you feel about them! You neveR included youR age, but you could tRy coloRing them a pictuRe. It may seem a bit childish, but ya neveR know. I'm in my late teen's, and my *MUCH* oldeR boyfRiend thought it was the cutest thing in the whole woRld when I just took some little coloRing book and finished the page foR him -- he slapped that puppy Right up on his living Room wall. Also, tRying slipping a shoRt little note into his backpack oR schoolbook. And make shoRe to give him lots of hugs out of nowheRe. And if you weRe willing to spend a tad bit of money, you could buy him a cute stuffed animal, like a little beaR, oR Nemo! Let him know that you caRe foR him by asking how his day went and just actually get to know him. Question wheRe he was boRn, his middle name, fiRst kiss, feaRs, dReams, and so on. Best wishes to you; I hope eveRything woRks out! Hope I helped!! =D

When I was ill recently, I really relied on my partner, and he was wonderful at looking after me. I've told him how thankful I am and how much it meant to me, but I'd really like to show how grateful I am and am really stuck for what would be appropriate. Would a card or gift be tacky/inappropriate? I saw a book I know he'd enjoy, but it doesn't feel quite the right way to say 'thanks' for all that he's done.

Basically, I'm just looking for opinions - should I get him a small token like the book, or is it more appropriate to just talk to him about it as I have been doing?
I think the book would be just fine. OR you can take him out to dinneR, that'd be nice. And don't Rule out a nice gift basket. All of those things would be geneRous of you, but nothing matteRs moRe, and gets the point acRoss betteR than a spoken thank you. Goodluck deciding =D

♥[?]♥ I am so Pro-Life and the "N" word hurts me so much when people say it!! and I am like so oppinionated as it is, but i cannot just sit by and let people say abortion is alright, and/or let them say the "N" word around me! it hurts so much! any tips on what to say? or anyone feel the same??
thanks-

In most cases, theRe Really isn't anything you can do about it; you can't change someone elses peRsonal opinion, but you most ceRtainly should let them know that you find theiR speech to be offensive. You could also ask them why they said what they did, and why they feel that way. The best way to do this is if you believe that you can *both* handle a civil, imfoRative, adult conveRsation, tRy aRguing theiR points with youRs to compaRe and contRast. Goodluck! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ I found this awesome xanga that i just go crazy over! It has this song that i love! I have no clue what it is called! The person does not have a music play list! Does anyone know how to get the name of the song?? Please help! i rate high!
Simply visit http://www.google.com and enteR in a paRt of the choRus and add "lyRics" at the end. This ALWAYS woRks foR me! Hope I helped!!!

♥[?]♥ Me and my boyfriend love eachother to death. But we can never find time to ourselves we have talked a lot about exploring other places and getting away from all the hatred we see in our lives right now. the thing is i want to spend the rest of my life with him and i know i do-i just dont want n e one else to get in the way . . . . should i ask him to runaway with me or wait till' we are older and go through school then college then get married?
Wait. You shouldn't let anything inteRfeRe with youR education - *THAT'S* the most impoRtant thing. You can't do much of anything these days without a diploma [tRust me... I've expeRienced that fiRst hand]. And wheRe would the two of you even Run away to?? That seems a bit nonsensical, if you ask me. If you Really would like to see this Relationship last, you both need to complete school to assist the well being of youR futuRe. I know it may seem like hell now, but think of how much woRse things could get when you'Re on youR own livin' on a low cash flow - it's woRth it, it Really is, take it fRom me. I wish you the veRy best of luck!! I hope I've been of some help heRe. Take caRe, and know that you can always come to me if you eveR need an opinion.

♥[?]♥ All throughout my life I've broken every set of headphones I've ever owned. I really dont know what the deal is. They always seem to lose connection on the right side. Does this happen to anyone else? Anyway, I kind of borrowed some headphones from my sister and now Ive found that I've broken those too. .. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks to all who answer, I rate.
Well if theRe's not a pRoblem with the wiRing, theRe's not much you can do to fix them. The cheapest and easiet Route would simply be puRchasing new ones. Anyhow, I'm soRRie this keeps happening to you. PeRhaps it's the way you caRe foR them? Maybe you'Re too Rough? OR maybe it's just bad luck. Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ well ok well i broke up with my bf b/c he two timed me and so i broke up with him of corse but now i still like him and he is going out with one of my bestfriends but i know he dosent like her because he told my other bestfreind and i still like him and my bestfreind said he still loved me but should i trust him if we do get back together?

i rate high!
thanx!
It would be extRemely unwise of you to go back to him. He's alReady been unfaithful once, why on eaRth would he be any diffeRent this time. And neveR buy the line that they've "changed", because once you take them back, you'Re telling them you appRove of theiR infedility, and that should neveR be acceptable. Use youR head heRe, Hun; pRotect youRself. Goodluck - hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ ok well my friend is at my house and he likes this girl well that I just found out and he was talking to her on MSN and then I said something then all of the sudden he said of sry that was my dumb bro and wouldn't even say he was here with his best friend(girl) so I'm super pissed at him and omg iunno what to do I feel like he'll stop being my friend just that is a bad sign for everything plz help...

You Really shouldn't take that so seRiously. I can Relate to the jealous and unpleasant feelings, but the woRst this could pRobably do is test youR fRiendship. How good of a "fRiend" could he possibly be if he's willing to ignoRe and hide you foR heR? I think until that point, it doesn't seem like theRe's any Reason to get offended quite yet. I hope eveRything woRks out foR you! Best wishes!! =D

♥[?]♥ *female* i had major cramps today i felt like i was gonna puke and i had several cases of *ahem* diarrhea *embaressed* is there anything i can do to get rid of this PAIN the next time it occurs? thank you so much please don't make fun of me i'm sure this happened to you atleast once in your life. if it hasn't, consider yourself the luckiest person on this site.
You have many options heRe: It's well known that RegulaR physical activity helps Reduce the cRamping in some women, so theRe's an idea. You could also tRy taking a waRm bath and using aRomatheRapy. Applying a heating pad on youR loweR abdomen oR back should do wondeRs. If you don't have a heating pad, you can make one by simply filling a sock with Rice and heating it in the micRowave foR a few minutes [must sound silly, but if the cRamps get bad enough, it just might be woRth it]. Also, many women staRt taking pills aRound the clock fRom the time the cycle staRts, until it ends. Any pain killeR will do, but I Reccommend IbupRofen, ExtRa StRength Advil oR Midol -- it's also best to take medication will a meal, that way the Risk of stomach discomfoRt is slimmed. Feel betteR; hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ Does anyone have any tips for getting lip gloss to last about 6 hours?
Well, 6 houRs is a long time, and no matteR what you use, you will pRobably have to Reapply at least once duRing that time peRiod. It would be a good idea to make shoRe the lip gloss is long lasting, fiRst of all. I apply lots and lots of lip gloss, and use it oveR chapstick, and this usually lasts quite a while. I do know that theRe's a penicl called a "NatuRal/Nude" lineR, and I heaR that it woRks wondeRs. HoweveR, I have neveR tRied this, so I can't Really Reccommend it, but I think it's woRth a shot, but if not... the chapstick woRks wondeRfully too. Goodluck; Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ hi i'm a 13/f and im in the 7th grade. and we got our 4 and a half week progress reports today and i got a 67 in science. the teacher only took a few grades and mine jumped from a B to an F. i usually get all A's and B's and very few C's. i don't know how to tell my parents because they have really high expectations of me! Help!?
Tell them exactly what you said above. Just let them know that you did youR best, and it's only a pRogRess RepoRt, and youR actual RepoRt caRd should be betteR. Goodluck deciding! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ OK, so theres this guy that i REALLY REALLY love. he likes this other girl, but he has no chance with her. someone told me that they were tlaking to him, and he said he might ask me out or that other girl. i REALLY like him and i might have a chance with him, but the thing is i dont know how to get him over the other girl and start to have more feelings for me. in the hall when i walked past him i saw him blush. what should i do?!?!?!?
StaRt to Really keep in good touch with him; call him eveRyday, say hello to him when you see him at school, ask him to go to the libRaRy to study with you, and possibly tRy inviting him to the movies? Just make shoRe you'Re putting youRself in the spotlight enough foR him to be dRawn to you, and soon he'll foRget all about that otheR ho. WhateveR you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ How can you tell if your bi-polar?
It's best to have a doctoR diagnosis this..

♥[?]♥ Im gonna buy my boyfriend some stuff for his birthday, but then i also want to make him something creative. I have no idea what to do! Can someone please help me???!?!
FoR the stoRe bought gift, if you do not alReady have one in mind, tRy keepin' it simple. SpRing foR a cute wRist watch, some posteRs, a leatheR jacket, nice cologne, a gift caRd, take him out to dinneR, a DVD, if he dRives... definitely go foR a *GAS CARD*. Those aRe pRicey, but you also neveR mentioned youR age, which kind of gives me nothing to go on heRe. And if you wanna get cReative, how 'bout you just go to the paRk?? BRing a blanket and some music! And pack a picnic lunch, which doesn't have to be difficult : tuRkey sandwiches on slice bRead, gRapes, pRetzels, twinkies etc. And make shoRe you bRing a cRap load of bRead to feed the duckies!! -OR- anotheR suggestion... MAKE him something to eat, if you'Re up to the challenge. You could tRy stuffed chicken bReasts with potatoes of some soRt with a fResh gaRden salad and sundaes foR desseRt! And to be cute, you could always make him a posteR -- use maRkeRs, photogRaphs, quotes and so on. Bottom line, it's the thought that counts, and whateveR you do I'm shoRe he'll love!! Just be cReative and have fun!! Hope I helped!! Best wishes!!

♥[?]♥ Hi! I need to make a webpage for a class through either Microsoft FrontPage or Notepad, but I wanted to know do you need a FTP program to view the webpage? I'm trying to work on the webpage but its not viewing correctly. Thanks in advance!
Nope, you absolutely *do not* need MicRosoft FRont Page installed on youR computeR to simply view a website made by FRont Page; 100% shoRe about that. I've done many sites with FRont Page, so I have a lot of expeRience. I'm soRRie to heaR you'Re having difficulties?? I hope you get eveRything stRaightened out. Know that you can come to me if you eveR need assistance oR a second opinion. Goodluck!

♥[?]♥ ok can some one please help me here
my gf keeps getting her ass smacked by dudes and its realy getting me pissed off anyway should i beat the liveing shit out of the guys who are doing it? or just tell them to stop?
Stand up foR heR foR shoRe! You should always tRy to avoid a fight if possible, but if one seems to be aRRousing, that's *YOUR* call whetheR oR not you decide to pRoceed. Goodluck deciding. =D

♥[?]♥ Ok heres the problem. When im out with my friends i tend to sweat a lot more than i do when i'm just sitting at my house. Is this because im nervous? I obviously use deodorant so i dont have to care about the smell but the problem is it always leaves sweat marks like you know it goes through your shirt and you can see it. I tried putting tissues under my shirt to stop it from being noticable but it did nothing! Please help!!!!!!
This is a big pRoblem foR me also, so I know how you feel; I've been theRe, and it's not good. I Reccommend using an anti-peRspiRant deodoRant, followed by RegulaR baby powdeR. The anti-peRspiRant of couRse helps to Reduce sweating, oR at least is said to, but in ouR case... neveR does. Then with the assistance of applying baby powdeR Right oveR the deodoRant, the poRes undeR youR aRm close, theRefoRe, moRe oR less tRapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS woRks foR me, but theRe *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the ass, so I usually make a point of caRRying some soRt of jacket. HeaRing that, theRe's this pRoduct people aRe talking about on this site, and even adveRtised on television called CeRtainDRi. Now, they say it can be puRchased at Wal-gReens, RiteAid, CVS, and WalmaRt, howeveR, EVERY SINLE TIME I've been to the stoRe looking foR it, I neveR seen it on the shelves. NatuRally, this leads me to ask an employee wheRe I can find it, and they *always* tell me they've neveR heaRd of it, and they do not caRRy the pRoduct... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'what now?'. But whateveR you decide to do, goodluck fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!! Hopefully I've been of some help; know that you can always come back to me if you need anotheR opinion. =D

♥[?]♥ About 2 hours ago I asked if I was going blind and I talked about my eyes and stuff. Well, I said I got a headache after that and it became worse. I layed down and I just woke up and the headache is just as bad. I still feel dizzy, and I feel like I'm going to throw up. Is this what migraines do? I took an Advil and it didnt help at all. Ugh! I feel horrible!
Sounds like a migRaine to me. I suffeR fRom MANY migRaines a week, so I've found a couple ways to ease the pRessuRe. Make shoRe youR haiR is flat on youR head... no up-do's and stuff; they pull youR haiR cuasing tugging on youR skin, which makes it woRse. Also, stay in a QUIET, DARK Room. If you have not yet noticed, migRaines aRe tRicky; theRe's sensitivity to noise, ASWELL AS sensitivity to silence. If you feel just as bad in the daRk as you did in the light, tRy putting on a soothing c.d. *veRy* low, low enough to wheRe you can baRely make out the woRds being said -- that helps me a TON! AnotheR thing, foR many people, they meditate. It pRobably seems silly, but I've tRied it befoRe. [with as many migRaines as I get I'm willing to tRy ANYTHING!] Just sit calmly and take small slow bReaths, while pictuRing a scRibbled on chalk boaRd. PRetend youR headache is the white chalk scRibbles, and pictuRe youRself eRasing away the headache. AfteR saying that, I Realize it DOES seem a tad bit odd and off the wall, but it's completely up to you whetheR the headache is bad enough foR you to ResoRt to that oR not, but give it a chance; no one has to know. ;D And the most IMPORTANT thing to do... apply ***stRong*** pRessuRe to the spot that is pounding, whetheR that be the temple, the side of youR head, the top of youR head, between youR eyes and so on. Apply pRessuRe and hold it down foR about 30 seconds. AfteR that, you will notice an immediate diffeRence. And as foR medicine, I've tRied eveRything!! I've noticed the best medication out theRe is extRa stRength Advil. Now Advil pRoduces a special migRaine Relief pill stRictly foR migRaines, and I've found that it usually does not help me, but sometimes does it just might. All in all, I'd Reccommend sticking to RegulaR extRa stRength Advil. I'm soRRie to heaR you'Re not feeling well, and I wish you luck! Hopefully I've helped heRe. Take caRe, fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!!!

♥[?]♥ I want to get a skateboard but I don't know how much it costs. I want a good one but not professional or anything.Does anyone know how much those would cost and maybe a link to a site to see some pictures of a board?Just something good that will last.Where could I get one?Would Target have a good one?
I wouldn't Reccomend puRchasing one at TaRget, SiR. You can get one of *MUCH* betteR quality else wheRe, say an actual skate shop. Yes, it would be a bit moRe expensive buying one at a skate shop, but tRust me... it'll be woRth it! Why spend a whoppin' $50.00 on a cRummy boaRd, when you can spend $220.00 on a WAY BETTER boaRd? PeRhaps you don't have that much money laying aRound the house, but you could always woRk foR it. It's tRue that you might have to wait longeR, but tRust me; it'll be completely woRth it!! And to Raise money, tRy mowing some lawns -- that can eaRn up $20.00, sometimes up to $65.00 dollaRs peR yaRd, depending on the size and slope. You could make a couple flieRs, and post them up on the bullentin boaRds of youR neaRest couple of gRoceRy stoRes - fRee adveRtising, that's what it's theRe foR. And peRhaps even put an ad in the papeR. Goodluck deciding! Hopefully I've been of some help heRe. Take caRe!
