MY SLOGAN: TREAT YOURSELF!

Hi my name is Jen - I am 33 and married; a graphic desinger, a big sister, movie lover, horse rider, and board game nerd.

advice

I'm 16 and a serious over-talker, especially when I'm excited or nervous. People get very irritated with me, and I don't know how to stop. Please help me break this habit.

Before yelling out words, say them in your head first. That should slow you down a bit, and help you determine if it is even necessary to say. And pay attention to the tone of your voice. You don't have to yell what you are saying. I find that's what's annyoing when I am surrounded by a lot of younger girls, they are always yelling rather than talking. Also pay attention and listen more, rather then having a comment for everything.

my mom has been really stressed. she was suppoesd to pick me up after school yesterday and she was late. no biggie, right? but later she admitted she's forgotten about me. i'd like to help relieve some of her stress. any ideas?

It's nice to see some unselfish girls on this board. I must commend you for being so respectful to your mother. Tell her that you would like to help her out, and ask if there is anything you can do. Help out with housework, and surprize the family and make dinner. Just you offering help will relive her stress.

how old do you have to be?
can you be 13 years of age?

how old to do what??

tomorrow at my school is senior skip day and i know it may sound funny but what exactly is senior skip day?? cuz i know alot of ppl that are doing that and i don't know exactly what is

Umm...it's when they skip class...that means they don't come.

I saw this advertisement and it was for shards glass freeze pops and i dont know what is it so if someone could explain to me what it is and what it does and why it is so addictive that would be great

It's a joke.

Does anyone know any great sites where I can find very very very very funny jokes or comics so I can get a good laugh?

Hello,
I am going to be getting married later on this year, but I'm having a few problems that I hoped someone can help me with. My fiance wants a VERY small wedding, if he had it his way, no one would be there except the preacher, him, and me. I have a large family that I know would get offended if I didn't invite them to the ceremony. I want a medium-size wedding, but I'm on an extrememly tight budget as I am still in college and he just got out of the Marines. Do you have any advice that you can help me with? I want to have a wonderful wedding that both of us will like and can afford. Thank you!

Well marraige is all about comprimise. You need to find a middle ground that you are both happy with. If you have a big family, he has to realise that they will be part of your life. But you have to work with him, and not invite everyone and their brother. Invite only close family, not that cousin you meet twice.

For any wedding you need to start with a budget. From there you know what you can afford. There are lots of tricks to cutting your budget. For example for my wedding I pre-ordered all my flowers from Sams Club, a wholesale store and made the centerpices myself. I orderd my vail online for less then $40 and it was beautiful. I made my own headpiece. I didn't have live music at the cerermony, we used a tape player. I made my own invitaions. We didn't have a limo, we had a friend drive us. We had a closed bar. Think what is importaint to you and put your money towards that, and skimp on the simple things.

This is my answer. Can I have a 5 now?

Hi everyone,
OK, me and my friends had loads of stuff planned for this half term holiday but they've all cancelled on me! I always argue with my mum so I spend most of my time away from her, upstairs on the PC or in my room. Seen as my friends have cancelled on loads of stuff, I have nothing to do!
Anyone got any suggestions that don't involve going out by myself or spending time with my 'rents?
Thanks!!

Get a game cube and play Animal Crossing. You will be entertained for hours.

I want to get a doggie this spring! I want a small doggie that I can spend time with. Easy to train, and it likes to play and spend time with me. any ideas?

My sister has a Pekingese that is very well behaved and never barks. She carries it in her backpack all the time. My parents fell in love with it, and got one of their own. They keep their hair cut short, not long like you see in most pictures.
Here is a good example:

i have a fever and my throat feels like its bleeding and when i swallow it hurts really badly, my mouth also produces thick spit which is kinda nasty... if any of you have any advice as to how i can get rid of this please help. thanks

Sounds like Strep Throat. You need antibiotics, go see your doctor. Try drinking warm tea with honey to sooth. Don't drink anything too hot or cold.

every time i shave my legs, its like they dont shave. il go over them with a new blade and still when i feel them, theres like..stubble, when its like the second i get done after shaving! i tried altering the pressure i put when im pressing down and gliding teh blade but that doesnt seem to help either. i use shaving cream and ive tried many different kinds, and ive also tried baby oil, water (alone), and body wash and it still seems like my legs arent...Shaved! and then i end up getting razor burn anyways!! does anyone have any ideas what this is and why?!

Make sure you are using a good quality razor, especially if you been getting razor burn. And make sure to get it wet before you shave, and rinse it often. Use a shaving cream, not a gel. And don't use body wash or soap! That will make the razor burn worse. Take you time, and go over the same spot a few times until it is smooth. I also use a lotion every morning that is specifically used to soften your leg hairs. I can't recall the name, but I got it Target in the lotion isle. I am sure you can find it.

how do you make people want to be around you all the time?

That's a pretty general question. So the general personality traits would be: kind, fun, energetic, and confident.

I have a long haired domestic black cat. I also have beige carpeting throuout my home. He leaves clipms of hair all over the house and not even vacuming seems to work in pickking it up. I am sick of spending hours on my hands and knees trying to get it off of the floor. Any suggestions?

My mother use to have a rubber broom that was ment to be used on carpet. It was good for gathering up pet hair. I use a damp sponge to get cat hair of the furniture, but I suppose it would work for carpet as well. For any animal that sheds a lot, it's helpful to brush them everyday.

ok i know this is a dumb question but doess anyone know how to type in cheats for sims on a game cube? tahnks appriciate it.

Go to Gamefaqs.com

i'm like a tomboy. And i have my first boyfreind. But the thing is that he is shorter then me and i get picked on about that. But he is really sweet.

A lot of boys are short before adolecents. Then one day they will wake up and have grown two feet. I wouldn't worry about what people say, they are most likely just jelous you have a boyfiend. If he's sweet and you are happy with him, stay with him.

I am thinking about dating this Christian, even though I am not religious. Please dont tell me not to care what his religion is-because I don't. I just want to know other people's opinions on christians. I want to know how they act and how other people view them. Thank you!

I am a christian, and my husband is an athiests. If you can respect each others choices and don't push your beliefs onto one another, you shouldn't have a problem. You can't classify christians by the way they act. It's like asking how do black people act.

my cat bites (a lot) what should i do?

Yell no, push it away, and ignore for a while. Eventually your cat should get the idea.

"It's normal to be scared your frist time"

No! It's not normal. If you are scared, you are not ready! And no sex should not hurt, if he is gentle and takes his time. Please don't let him pressure you into something you are scared to do.
