hey i give advice ...and like i wana make my page HOTT any one got and advice to add like icons and cool boxes or pictures or music or something thx
Whatever you do, follow this list:
1. DO NOT have a prompt come up whenever someone comes to to or leaves your page. It's annoying as hell.
2. DO NOT play music. We used to ban for that, I think. And it's nothing but an annoyance as well. 95% of users do not share your taste in music.
3. DO NOT have a moving or flashing background. This will hurt the eyes of someone who views your page. It will distract them and they will not read your page.
4. DO NOT have a background that interferes with the text. If someone has to highlight the text in order to read it, they won't.
Keep it simple. Have a picture you like, most likely of yourself. Have a nice layout. Make sure the text is easy to read on the background. The main thing that makes your page memorable is not the design, but the quality of your advice. Keep that in mind.
All I did with mine is make the background black and the text white. I edited the HTML a little bit to throw a few more lines into the profile that aren't normally there as well.

This is from Jwilliams35@mail.com
I just wanted to say thank you for your advice. I thought I was being a little conceited when I wrote my query, but I thought "What the hell? I may as well ask." I appreciate frank advice.
It is true: intellecutals are not smarter than anyone else, they just think they are.
Honestly, when I submitted my question, I thought it would be answered by professional advice columnists. My bad. How naive I was!
Thank you for setting me straight. I now realize that I am different from most, but not smarter nor deeper.
Take care, and thank you!

My mouse is obese. I don't know what to do--I put her in an exercise ball and she just sat there (I don't think she knew what to do). I don't want to give her less food because I'm afraid she'll starve. What can I do to make my mouse lose weight? note--I've tried gerbil wheels on other mice, but they sometimes get caught and die so I'm afraid to use it.
Yeah, I had a pair of rats that were really fat. The trick is to change their diet. The food I fed them from the pet store consisted of things like sunflower seeds, dried fruit, etc. etc. That's not all I fed them, though. Sometimes, in place of that, I would give them something healthier: Sliced fruit, chopped vegetables, etc. Rats will eat pretty much anything and I don't think mice are much pickier. So stray from normal food and give them a healthy treat.

I have a problem: I am a lonely introvert, and I try to get out and make friends. But my problems is that most people only want to talk about superficial things such as house, car, kids, job, and shopping. While I know those are what most people care about, these topics bore me to death. I like deeper conversations about philosophy or literature. I don't mean to be conceited, but it's hard to find smart people to talk to. Why can't I find anyone on my level? Should I dumb myself down to fit in? Any comments are appreiciated. Thank you!
There is a difference between "smart" and "deep". Philosophy and literature aren't for "smart" people, they are for people who think differently. Those are more of the spiritual and mental sides of thought, as opposed to the physical. I love a good philosophical debate myself, but in my time in school I have failed 3 classes.
Just because you think you are so intellectual, does not make you smarter than anyone else.

whats a good place to have sex where there are no parents?
In a place that is not your house or theirs.
Seriously, if you still live with your parents, and are worried about being caught, you are probably too young to be having sex in the first place.

I'm 16 and I'd like to try out for the school musical, but I'm really nervous. what should I do to have a good audition?
Two things:
1. Practice, practice, practice.
2. Most of the time, they are not only judging how well you memorize lines, but how you present yourself and how confident you are.
Just remember that even if you say lines wrong or sing slightly off-key, if you show that you have confidence and can learn easily, you could get the part anyway.

Hey I love your site and pics! And I was just wondering if you could help me out! I have this guy in school who i like andhe likes me too! But he says he can't have a gf right now! Should I wait? And what do you look for in a girl? Your hott by the way! (( lolz ))
A perfect example of the type of question I hate to answer. The things I do for my stalkers. *sigh*
I don't know if you should wait because I do not know you or them. I'll pretend that question was not asked.
What do I look for in a girl? The number one thing I find sexy is intelligence. Yeah, I know, it sounds cliche and all, but it's true. If I can have a full-blown philosophical debate with a girl for over an hour, she ranks pretty damned high on my list. And if she can prove me wrong (which very rarely happens) I will fall in love with her, right there.
As for body type, I don't like skinny girls at all. I'd rather have someone closer to my own weight, maybe a little more. I weigh 128 lbs. (Yeah, I know, I'm freaking tiny.) I, for some odd reason, find it attractive when there is a noticeable amount of fat around the stomach area. Not noticeable as in it hangs out their shirt and they can't see their own feet, but more like that I think it looks cute when I can see it if they lift their arms up to stretch.
I like a playful girl, one who will tease me a little bit; but, at the right moment, can be quite romantic. I'm more of a romance kind of guy myself. I love the feeling of kissing a girl's neck and feeling her melt into my arms. Nothing better than that.
Also, she must play DDR. (I may or may not be joking here.)

I don't believe in anything but still feel I need a spiritual playground to frolic in... What should I do???
You don't need to follow an organized religion to be spiritual. You don't have to believe in a deity of any sort, nor follow any rules created thousands of years ago. Create your own guidelines, and adhere to them. Study other religions, take what you like, and create something you can grow off of.
I really dislike the concept of following an organized religion, because you are not expressing your own beliefs, you are following the beliefs of others. Just because a book says it doesn't make it true. Just because a friend says it doesn't make it true.
Some religions don't bother with any sort of deity; they are just simple guidelines to help you live a fulfilling, positive life. Find one and build off of it. Also, do not let others sway you with their religious beliefs. If you listen to others beliefs, you won't be creating your own individual opinion. Don't listen to anyone who tells you there are consequences for not following their particular religion. You are not going to hell because you don't accept Christ, no matter how many times a Christian tells you so. The very thought that someone could be so close-minded as to think that what someone else told them is the absolute truth, and that anyone who says differently is wrong, makes me sick.
I think that no one knows the right answer to whether or not there is a higher power. Anyone who says differently is just telling themself that in an effort to make themself feel better. I guess some people think that if they repeat it to themself enough it will evbentually become true.
Enough about me looking down on religious fanatics. You have my answer. Use it as you will.

ok i know this isn't exactly sex related, but it's close enough. today i was putting on deodorant, and accidently got some on my chest. as i was going to rub it off, i notice that my right nipple was a different texture than my left-it felt like, rougher. also, the area surrounding it felt almost numb. is this normal?? i've never noticed anything like this before, but then again i don't often feel my chest that often, so i don't know if it's normal or not. any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks so much
(I'm assuming you are female, so this is probably strange and/or creepy coming from a guy.)
In a word, yes. Yes, it is normal. For a lot of people, either their nipples or breasts (or both) don't quite match up. Either one is misshapen, one nipple sticks out more than the other, maybe one goes inward while the other doesn't, lots of things. If you're still young and developing, chances are it will fix itself. If not, it's really not much to worry about. You're not "weird" or "different" or "deformed".
Check again later and see if it's the same. After some time they might even out.

ok....i no its right before christmas...but is it rude to dump my boyfriend... i mean i don't like him anymore...im worried about breaking up because im worried he'll do stuff to himself...he said he would try suicide if we ever broke up....but at the same time im not happy! PLEASE HELP ME!
Heh, I agree with those who said to go through with the break up. Anyone who is stupid enough to commit suicide after a break-up, especially in their teenage years...well, let's just say it's hard for me to shed a tear over it. Do you really think that kind of mental instability could produce a productive member of society? Granted, not everyone who has any kind of mental problem won't succeed, but it's the extreme cases such as this that make me hang my head in shame for the human race.
Most likely, however, he is using that as an excuse to keep you from breaking up. 999,999 times out of 1,000,000 that is the case. He thinks that he can control you, and keep you with him, with empty threats. Prove him wrong. Show him you know the game he is playing, and that you can play it better.

is there anybody whos in tae kwon do or martial arts that could tell me the order of belts.. i know its white orange yellow then green... and does white really count?
I believe it went like this, in the class I was in: White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, Black. Between each color belt, you would receive a belt of the same color with a stripe of the next on it. For example, after your blue belt, you would receive a blue belt with a red stripe.
Black belts have different degrees; first through ninth, I believe. I heard about a tenth that was just an honorary title, but I don't know if anyone has one anymore.
Don't take my word for it, though. I dropped out of Tae Kwon Do just before I qualified for my green belt. This is just from memory.

I have been dating my boyfriend for an entire year on Monday. He is a great guy, and I want to be his forever. So he didn't present me with a ring on a one year anniversary. In fact, he didn't get me flowers, but he did take me out to our favorite place for a steak.
Two things:
1)How do I get him to send me flowers? I mean even Wal-mart hand delivered by him would be fine. Freakin' weeds even. I sent him flowers as a joke on April Fool's day addressed as to me from him. It got his attention, but alas no flowers. I actually asked him before dinner "No flowers?" And then dropped it. I have bought myself flowers. I have placed them all over the house (just grocery store flowers). I am now ready to send myself flowers with a "from your secret admirer" note. His mother keeps cut flowers sometimes, what's his deal? Do you have any other ideas to get him to send them/bring them to me?
2)When do I start getting annoying with the "I want to get engaged." hints? I was thinking Februrary if I don't get it by my birthday (Jan. 7).
So maybe that's totally annoying, but I am just frustrated. I guess I am just getting old, I don't know. We do talk about "when we're married" stuff so it isn't terribly far, but I need some suggestions.
Most of us guys really don't know what you want us to give you. There are so many questions on this site just asking about it. I think if you bring up the fact that you would like flowers, and even go so far as to tell him what kind, you would see them a lot more often. Say something like "Hey honey, you know what would be nice for my birthday? A dozen blue lilies. I'd like that." Yes, be blunt and outright tell him. It saves confusion, hesistation, and he'll know exactly what you want without having to ask himself "I wonder if she would like this?"
About being engaged: I see you two have been dating for a year now. I understand the feeling of wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone. How old are you? Have you ever been married before? Me and my ex talked about what we'd do when we were married. Obviously, we were young and stupid (and still are) but to be completely honest, age sometimes doesn't change that. You can be older and just as stupid about love.
My suggestion, from a point of view of a total stranger, is this: Wait. I'm sure a year feels like quite enough time to decide, but you can never be really, ultimately sure about someone until you live your lives to the end. I'd say it's a bad idea to become engaged with someone you haven't been with for more than two years, but if you really feel that strongly, then go through it. And if you're waiting for him, don't. You don't have to go through with the whole cliche "Will you marry me?" bit. "Hey, you wanna get married?" "Yeah, ok. Let's go buy you a ring."
Anything more, you know where I am.

my dad was recently laid off from work (he was the manager for the propane department of a co-op). he decided he wants to go back to the job he had before that, which was an EMT(emergency medical technician). the problem is that he left that job because he had a lot of depression problems when he couldn't save someone. should i still encourage him to go back to that job?
Rather than thinking about the ones he couldn't save, remind him of the ones he did. Tell him that there could be people dying right now because he is not there to save them. It's a depressing job, yes, but everyone who works in the medical field has to deal with that at some point.

i was talking with mii boyfriend tonight, and we were talking about having sex for the first time. he knows i'm afraid of the consequence, but i want to do it ! he suggested pulling out (if u kno what that means).. is that safe or not? is there chances of me getting pregnant? **ii rate high for good answers**
No matter what, unless he has a vasectomy or you are on birth control, there is always a chance of you getting pregnant. (And in some cases, even then.) Condoms are not 100% reliable either. My suggestion is to avoid it altogether unless you are fully capable of handling the consquence of a child, should that happen. If you want to anyway, do anything and everything to reduce the chance, but just realize you are not 100% protected against impregnation. Make him wear a condom and pull out, and you take the morning after pill, if you can get your hands on one.

Hey every1,
I'm here to talk about my friend, Emma. We were eating lunch today and she started talking to me on how she thinks she's starting to loose her memory. She's 15 years old, and I know you loose your memory of old age and stuff...but she's 15 YRS OLD! Emma was telling me how she see's a friend of her's, but everytime she see's her friend, Emma can't remember her name. And Emma was telling me that it's not just that one girl...there's more ppl that she can't remember their names. Also she was telling me how she forgets what she did in the past week. She kinda remembers but it's hard for her to remember. Like she can remember what she did in 3 days ago, but a whole week she can't really remember. I asked Emma if she remembered what she did 2 weeks ago, and she couldn't remember. Is she really loosing her memory? Should we be worried? Is it really worth going to the doctor? Please answer me because I have NOO clue.
~missc~
Well, I have a selective memory. I can name every person I have ever had even the slightest amount of a crush on, but without a mirror, I can't tell you what color eyes I have. I'll remember some things and forget others. We all have different mental capacities. So, don't worry. Unless your friend smokes a very large amount of pot, there is no reason for her memory to be dying.

My husband and I were talking the other day and he said that if he died he would not want a funeral. I was shocked. Of course he should have a funeral, it's a great way for family and friends to say goodbye. I feel it is more for the family of the deceased anyway. He disagrees, and is shocked that I would not respect his wishes. Who is right here? And if he did die, what are we as a family suppose to do? I would like the love and support of my faamily.
I can relate to his idea. Funerals cost thousands of dollars. Think about it: You are spending money on a dead person. Where is the logic in that? Perhaps he realizes the money can go towards something more productive. And think about this: It's not like if you don't hold a funeral, he will not be buried. It's very simple: SOCIETY HATES A ROTTING CORPSE.
Rather than a full blown open or closed casket service, followed by the procession to the graveyard, followed by the lowering of the coffin, you can simply have all the family and friends meet together in a house. That's basically what is done after the funeral anyway. It wouldn't be insensitive or thoughtless of you for not having a funeral; it IS his wish after all.
These are your options: Hold a funeral, spend thousands of dollars, and contradict your husband's last wish, OR follow through with his idea, hold a gathering at your house for mourning and recollection, and save some money. I know which option I would choose. Do you?

I've been having these visions in my sleep that it's going to become the end of the world by next Friday. I wake up in a cold sweat and see pink gay bunnys everywhere. Then all the sudden the damn rabbits start making out with my pillow. Then the frisky lil things take out bb guns and start shooting my TV. My house then catches on fire, causing the next house to burn up too (some how, i don't know how, though). ...and so on. Then the whole US is on fire. Our president, bush, thinks we're getting bombed by iraq so we go to another deadly war. Then china launches a gigantic nuclear fusion for the hell of it, and the world blows up.
But some how I manage to survive bc/ i can breathe in outter space. Then, I rule the universe! Muhahahaha
What should I do about these dreadful nightmares?
Your dreams are obviously fantasies. You will never achieve them. The universe is mine and you may not have it. But for a low* price, I will allow you to join my entourage of domination. Contact me for more info!

um hey one of my friends is having a party at this place where our friends go for dances. i love going there, but (the dances are held twice a month) i have no beat and no rythem and usually i dont dance because im afraid people will laugh at my poor skills. i also dont know what to wear. im pretty much broke and my mom is pretty srict about what i wear. if anyone could help me. that would be great! thanx!
I've never seen anyone make fun of the way someone else dances at those kinds of places. (Unless they were intentionally looking stupid.) Dance like no one is watching. You may be better than you think. And even if you're not, practice makes perfect, you know?
