We just moved from Oregon to California and we have all this winter clothes. I think we are haivng a garage sale next week. The problem is, I don't know how to price my items! They may be used, but they are in excellent condition. We have many different brands from gap to abercrombie to bcbg! How should I price my clothes??-I paid good money for it!

You came to the right person! I go to yard sales every weekend and I'm an expert at it..hehe :) I usually get abercrombie t-shirts for $1..I know it doesnt seem like a lot but thats really how much people pay..Of course, If it has a tag on it..It could be worth about $5.If you have pictures of the items you are unsure of or can give a better description..Message me, because I know how much people are willing to pay.

ok well i have been going out with my boyfriend for about 9 months now and i really love him. he has only had sex with one girl. but many times. they broke up long be fore we got together. so just say i lost my virginity to him do you think he would have any kind of std from having sex with just that ONE other girl.?? like do u think theres a chance of him having an STD, from that one girl and then having sex with me and then all of a sudden i get it??? thanks i rate HIGHHH

It only takes one person to pass on an STD so no matter how many different people he did it with the chances are still high.If you are really concerned dont partake in any sexual activity or if you must a condom is your only protection against STD's

I have AIM downloaded to my computer. It has aways worked fine. Now whenever I click on the icon to launch aim nothing happens...? No matter how much I try restarting. Then once in a blue moon the window where you type your username and such comes up, I fell it out, and it says "connecting" and then "Aim service cannot be reached, check internet connection". The internet is working fine, only Aim isnt working. What should I do?!

Try going to the start mesnu to get to the program.If that doesn't work, maybe your version is outdated.If you don't want to download..go to www.aim.com and click on aim express.It won't have all the features of aim but you could still chat with people

I met this guy online and i really like him...he is really sweet and he asked me out...i said yes and i havent told my friends yet. The thing is they might think it's kind of wierd or strange that I met a guy online that I have never met before and actually talked to him..because they think that you shouldn't do that. Should I tell them or just keep it a secret to myself??
Thanks a lot!!

The best thing to do is break the whole thing off.Many older guys go on the internet and pretend to be something you're not.Stop talking to this person you don't even know.Something bad can happen if you give him information.There's a reason your friends don't think it's right:IT'S NOT SAFE! Talk to people you actually know or be friendlier with your aquantinces.Seriously,talking to a stranger is not a good idea.

Ok this guy really likes me. He asked me out today. I didnt want to hurt his feelings by sayin no so I said I dont know. And he started crying. I felt soo bad. What should i do?? He's 15/m and im 13/f. Please help. I rate high.

I think you should at least give him a chance unless something bad has happened between you in the past.Tell him you are very sorry,you were just unsure and offer to go out to eat or to a movie with him.Some people don't handle rejection well.He probraly is just sad because you wouldn't even give him a chance.Who knows? Maybe you will get to like him, so go for it!

I forgot to get something for my mom because i didnt know it was mothers day - what should i do!? I cant make her anything special or buy anything.

Wash her car.Bake something for her.Put together a mini scrapbook.Tell her to take the day off and you will do the work.If you have younger siblings,get them under control so she can relax.Tell her to go to the pool while you take care of everything else.Basically let her relax, but don't overwhelm her with a huge gift,she probraly just wants to get a load off and rest.

I am completly fed up!this has been the most boring summer ever.I realy need some ideas about things to do.I am tired of computers. Think of something for me to do that has nothing to do with the telivision or the computer.I will rate 5.

If you like kids see if camps need a junior counsler.I did it last summer and I found it to be really fun and the time passed so quick.I loved that job so much I tried out for it again just yesterday and made it.So, I'm happy with that!Or if you are at least 14 (depending on what age is required) you could work as a bagger at your local grocery store and get paid minimum wage.(they raised minimum wage about a dollar! so you'll get more money!)If you are creative you can make something really unique and sell it.Form your own daycamp with a few friends and have some little kids in your neighborhood attend.
Hope these come in handy,

My mom and I started going to church recently. I totally believe in God and I am 100% Christian. However, my dad was baptised (sp?) as a Morman, and neither of my brothers go to church. My brother A, isnt in to the whole believin in stuff type, hes more i'll believe it wen i see it. And Brother B just doesnt go to church. So my question is will my family all go to Heaven, or will my brothers go to Hell? I'd love answers asap please.

Sorry if this doesn't help, but I don't believe in the whole heaven hell kinda thing.People just say things like that to scare you.I can't blame brother A,maybe he's like me and thinks that you don't need to be told by the bible what to do.He probrlay rather make descisions for himself.Why doesnt brother B want to go?If there is heaven and hell,they will go to heaven as long as they are good people.There are plenty of good people who don't go to church, so as long as they aren't bad then there's nothing to worry about.

ok.. well theres these kids in some of my classes... theres alot of them and when theyre not all there its not so bad but when theyre all there (just one class) its bad. i sit in the front row and all they do it sit behind me and make fun of me. they always claim that i smell and they make jokes about it. theyre like the "popular" type so this is cool to them. i know i dont smell though. they just say that because that room has a weird smell coming from the vents. im not one of the popular kids so they do this to make fun of me. its no fun and i hate that class. trust me though, i dont smell, i thought maybe i did at first when they started but i put on stronger deodarant and i sprayed perfume. its definitly not me. how do i get these mean people to stop tourturing me?

Say to them 'If making fun of me gives you some kind of 'fake' confidence then do it because it's obvious you're insecure.Make fun of me all you want, all you'll be doing is wasting your time because there is no way your immature comments are gunna break me down'Smile when they tease you or laugh.Trust me, if they think that you find it funny when you are supposed to be hurt they are gunna back down so fast.

Hey, me and this girl were starting to talk one day, and shes kinda hott and shes complaing that no one will ask her out but like shes more higer on the popularity thing, and people r also saying that if i go out with her i will become more cool. we are kinda good friends, and every time were aroung eachother we like smile and stuff... so i was wondering if it would be to aukward.

I rate high!

Ask her out if you truly like her.If you're just in it for the popularity that wouldnt be right, but if you think things would work out between you and her go for it.

Can you get genital herpes without having any sexual contact?

Believe it or not, even if someone's cold sore comes in contact with your gentials that would be considered gential herpes.My science teacher just went over it and to my surprise, cold sores are a form of herpes.If you touch some type of herpes and it comes in contact with your genitals yes you are going to get it, so be careful.

Me and my friend want to give my REALLY nerdy other friend a makeover at my house. She's the sensitive type, so how do I approach it? She has a unibrow, HIDEOUS nails, she wears pokemon shirts and granny jeans, her hair is frizzy, heavy, and waist length, and she desperately needs makeup. She desperately needs a new look, so how do my best friend and i approach her and give it to her? What things do I need to change to make her not-so-nerdy (nothing like cutting her hair)? I rate 5's

Don't make it seem like you planned it. Out of nowhere be like 'OMG! Let's give eachother makeovers' except only give her one and when she offers to do you mention another activity.For 1.fix her eyebrows.Try some stuff to make frizz go away.Show her how to do cute hairstyles.Go to some stores that have cute clothes but if they are expensive go to the sale rack.Give her a manicure.Just try not to crush her confidence.If she says something isn't her style respect her choice because you can't change her but only improve her.

ok i have some acne. not a lot but some. and my friend will sometimes make fun of it. i dont think she realizes it, but she still does it. then when i ask her not to say it she just goes, "gosh i was just kidding!" now this girl is flat chested, and if i ever make a joke about that she completely refuses to talk to me for like a day. today something happened and i apologized to her 3 times but she wont forgive me! ive known this girl since second grade and i really dont want to lose a friend. help please!
*confuzed*

Wow, this is so wierd! I've been in the same situation so many times!Tell her,what's the difference? She made fun of something about you and you did the same.If she doesn't like being made fun of then she shouldn't do it to you.Let her know about karma-what goes around comes around.Maybe make a promise to eachother to stop teasing eachother.She's probraly really insecure because I use to be made fun of for that and I was really insecure, but to get out of this fight just write her a note and say if she honestly doesn't like it you won't do it again, but she can't do it to you either.

I am having a party in two weeks because its the end of the school year. I have this one friend who I just met this year. I really like her and I want to invite her to my party. The only problem is that some of my friends dont like her. They think she is annoying. I really want her at my party but I dont want to upset my friends either. Some of my friends said they wont come if she is there. I really want my new friend there but I also want my other friends to have a good time and come. What should I do? Thanks for your help!

Invite whoever you feel like.If it were your friends party it would be a different story but this party is all yours.If they don't like this girl..who cares if they don't show up?You like that girl and thats what matters.You shouldnt listen to what others have to say about her and then not invite her when your opinion matters most.If they are gunna leave you like that then they arent exactly such great friends.I would say invite her because it wouldnt be fair to the girl that you went by what other people say when those could be lies or exagerated stories.

lets call the kids jack and jill.

so ive been babysitting jack and jill every other weekend. jill is really good and sweet but jack is not. now there mom wants me to watch them everyday in the summer. and i dont want to! im only 14 i have a life! but their mom is really pushy and in your face.

what should i do?

Tell her you're busy and maybe schedule like 3 days for the week.She can't make you do something you don't want to.Tell her what you want not what she wants to hear.Sometimes I have to turn down jobs from the lady I babysit for but she gets over it.If you really don't feel like babysitting that much let her know that you aren't availiable as often as she wants you to be.

im 15 and a guy...i work out and all..and i dont excaclt yhave a six pack..but im not fat...and im self consious about my moles...i have a lot of them...and my nipples hang out a bit too...do people notice these things a lot?

To tell you the truth, in this world there are some shallow people who will care, but the people who are worth-while will like you for who you are rather than what you look like.You can always get your moles removed.To me six pack isn't really important.As long as you are in shape and healthy, that's more important.Maybe if you do more workouts you can tighten up the breast area so your nipples won't hang.

Is there a website where you can upload your picture and like see what different hairstyles would look like on you?

I dont know a site but I went to http://www.makeoversolutions.com/MOS/index.jsp and it isn't free so i just wanted to save you time by telling you that.
Also if you go to www.stellure.com you have to pay to get your own face on there otherwise you have to use a computerized model of someone.

i'm 13 and i'm only 5'1. i'm very self-conscious about my height so i measure myself everyday. why is it that when i wake up i'd grow half to a full inch from the night before when i measured but at the end of the day i'd measure myself again and it said that i shrunk again? this happens almost every morning, when will i stop increasing an inch and then losing an inch by the end of the day? how can i prevent it? thank u

you cant..i dont know why this happens but it just does..maybe from walking on your feet.i dont know lol.I'm 14 and 5'2..why would you want to be tall? You are still going to grow.you aren't even really short.Would you rather be tall and look down on people or be short and look up?And when you get a boyfriend or whatever your preference is he will probraly be taller than you and boys bigger than us girls are a good thing!
