how much is it to rent or buy a tuxedo?

Well it depends on the tux and where you rent or buy it! So renting a tuxedo would be around $50-$100 and buying a tuxedo would be around $150-$450! Hope I helped :)

to reach my weight goal i need to lose 8 pounds, but these last pounds just won't come off! what is a good way to lose weight?

You could do some cardio exercises such as running on a tredmill or around your street, jogging, and you can play sports too! Keep on eating healthy and doing crunches/sit ups everyday! Hope I helped :)

Sorry- here is a lame-o love question, but I need an answer quick. There is a Sadie Hawkin's dance coming up on Friday (today's Wed.) and I REALLY want to ask the guy I like. All last week we talked, flirted and jumped around the actual asking of the question. General consensus seems to be that he likes me, but last Friday my best friends scared him away, because they don't like him. Now we haven't really talked for 2 days, and I'm scared he might not wanna go with me anymore. Should I ask him anyway?

Yup, you should definitely ask him! Just tell him that your friend didn't mean to scare him away even though she did! That's all you gotta do!! Hope I helped :)

hey...theres this guy who I just met but he goes to the school in the town next to mine...anyway...we hit off really well bc weve only talked for about a week N I like him N he likes me...last nite I was talkin to him on the phone N he said that he was 18...I was suprised bc he doesnt really look like 18 N then he asked if I had a problem with it...I said no bc I think age doesnt matter...but Im only 14 N he was askin how my parents would feel if they knew...then today I was thinkin bout it N now Im kinda worrying...but maybe its just bc I never liked an 18 year old...I kno this isnt really a question but Id just like to hear oppinions of wut ppl think bout age differences...or if anyone has been in this situation...thanx!

I think age differences are alright it's just an 18 year old is legal so if you and this guy get caught together just holding hands, he can go to jail because it's considered sajitory rape (sp?) It's alright to like this guy but just watch out because guys that age only want sex from girls your age! That's my opinion! Hope I helped :)

Ok, there is this boy at school that I think I love and I want him to be my boyfriend but he thinks he's to young to have a girlfriend, Well I kept on trying to tell him in secrets and notes that I love him and I want him to be my boyfriend, But he just wouldn't listen, so then I would start saying it out loud that I love him and stuff so everyone could here but now he is getting anoyed and now I dont know what to do and I realy need advice on what to say, and I dont want to ruin his and mine friendship!

Sweetie, guys hate being annoyed! What you did by shouting across the room that you love him made him realize that he might not wanna go out with you! You can't just make him go out with you! To fix this situation, just talk to him and tell him that you are sorry! Hope I helped and good luck :)

I know this is long, but PLEASE READ! I need help! Thanks you very much!

Hello, I'm a 14 year old girl, Freshman. Last Saturday I went to the Homecoming dance and I danced with this guy... lets call him John, 14. (I knew nothing about him!) We had a great time and he asked me out... I said yes...
Well I went back to school and everyone found out! All the other guys that like me (who are my friends) seemed mad and sad at me. One of of my friends... Dan... asked me to go with him to the dance a few weeks ago, but I didn't because a lot of other guys asked...
I felt bad today because I figured out... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... or so guys liked me all together... I feel so bad... everyone seems mad at me... and I cryed today at lunch in front of all those guys... (they tried to cheer me up)
Also today... one of the guys... Tim... gave me a letter saying he loved me and he cried because I was going out with someone else and I felt so embarrassed... and sad... also Dan told me he loved me yesterday trying to get me back... he wants me back....... (he said, "Will I ever get a chance to go out with you?).... that also made me cry....

I have no idea what to do... Tim wants me to break up with John and Dan wants me, but I'm going to the movies this weekend with John (maybe) and I was planning on kissing him.....

PLEASE someone help me... I'm so confused...

I have never been in this situation before but if I was, I would follow my heart and go out with the guy that I love and care for! I can see that this would be hard for you since like 10 people like you so you have to make a really important decision that will change everything! Hope I helped and I hope everything works out!! :)

The song is called "Over and Over" Here's a website that has the lyrics to it!!: http://www.lyricstop.com/o/overandover-nellyftimmcgraw.html and here are the lyrics to it!!:
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause it's all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it yeah I can't shake it
Nooo

I can't wait to see you
Want to see if you still got that look in your eyes
That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we got to spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same things
Over and over again
Ohh
But I think she's leaving
Ooh man she's leaving
I don't know what else to do
(I Can't go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again yeah
And I can't take it yeah I can't shake it
Nooo

I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath you took right in front of me
When you said that u would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keep playing in my head
Over and over again
Playing my head
Over and over again
Ohh
I think she's leaving
Ooh man she's leaving
I don't know what else to do
(I Can't go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

(Now that I've realizes that I'm going down
From all this pain you've put me through
Everytime I close my eyes I like it down
I can't go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo

Over and Over again
Over and Over again
Cause it's all in my head

Hey guys! I need some advice! Where do you get music to put on your column, and where do you insert the code? Also, I know where to get the cool looking page transitions, but where do I insert those? Somewhere where I edit my style...

Thanks everyone! =)

Love, liddylflirtx3

You can't have music on your column! But you can have songs that are just the melody of it that you can get at http://www.starlightmks.com! For the page transitions, just go to a HTML code website such as http://www3.buddy4u.com/view/page.php?u=html+.+help and just copy and paste the code in your Profile Settings in the big box by press Control + C to copy and Control + V to paste! In the code, you have to type in the name of the transition you want! The just press submit when you are done! If you need any help, just ask me because I'm great with HTML codes!! Hope I helped :)

The reason why your questions are always being deleted is that it had been asked numerous times in the past and it is probably inappropriate! You can read more of this in the FAQ's! Hope I helped :)

Nope, there is no specific time! You can get pregnant at anytime once you had your period! If the sperm gets inside of you, you get pregnant and sperm can live up to 7 days in your vagina! Hope I helped :)

OK so i'm at a new school and like i made this one fried ... lets call her susan. So susan invited me over to her house for halloween with some of her friends too. I don't know for sure but i've heard her friends talking about doing drugs and all (not planning it for halloween but talking about it in like the past sence) I'm pretty sure Susan doesn't do drugs or anything but i do think that she drinks. I don't do any of that stuff, nor do I want to. Do you think I should go to her house and take the chance? PLEASE help me... i'll rate EVERYONE!

I think you should go to her house because you'll meet other people there! Talk to Susan! Ask her if there are gonna be drugs and alcohol there! If she wants to know why, then just say your parents wanna know! That always works for me lol! When you're at her house and you see people drinking and doing drugs, then just leave! Hope I helped and have a great time on Halloween!! :)

Does anyone know of any website counters that can tell you who visited your site specifically (not just as # but like a screen name) Thanks so much. I'll rate you all.

I use Buddy Tracker for my AIM profile and it's awesome! Here's the website: http://buddytracker.us/homeBT.php. Also, you can use a Profile/Site Viewer from IMChaos but Buddy Tracker is much better!! Hope I helped :)

Ok so I had a big argument with one of my best friends and I cried a lot. Now my eyes are really sore, are there any ways to soothe them apart from cucumbers?

This happened to me a couple of times so what I did was I made two teas and then took out the two tea bags and cooled them down and then put them on my eyes!! It helped so much! Also, I once put a damp face cloth over my face and that helped too!! Hope I helped and I hope you feel better sweetie! :)

how can u get a popular guy to like u when u r very very shy???

You really can't except if you go up to him and start talking to him or become friends with him! Bump into him on accident and just say "Hey" or something! Your shy-ness will go away, trust me because I was just like you! Just be yourself and have confidence and in no time, you'll be talking to this guy! Hope I helped :)

On Xanga,How do you get music on your page?It says you have to have a url?Whats A URL and How do you get one?Someone please help!!

*Thanks*

A URL is the website code or code of something! For example, the URL to Google is http://www.google.com! To put music on your page, there is a music code that you can use that you can get from an HTML code website and then you just have to put the music code URL in the code where it says "URL" and then just copy and paste the code into your XANGA! ON XANGA, there is a music code journal that'll help you but I can't remember the URL to it! Hope I helped :) If you need any help, just ask!
