Well a bath with a tampon is ok, since you have to wash yourself.
But taking a shower without anything is ok too, and you must wash yourself down there every day.

so i giot my cartialge periced 2 mouths ago and i put in a 16 guage and befor it aws 18 how long will it take to heal and wwhat shoudl i do?

Usually, about three months if you don't mess around with it.
Just clean it twice a day, and don't play with it.
Meanwhile learn the English language.

okay so the boarding school I go to wont let me go onto myspace or facebook and it's really stupid. And the proxies I've been using aren't working.
I've you like badmarble headfrost and yobama.org works but as soon as I go to type in my screenname it automatically goes to another page trying to get me to buy a new house or something.
Could you just give me a list of proxies that work??? thanks.

I recently bought cowboy boots, they're not like full-blown boots, just casual, but I do not know what to wear with them.

This is what they look like:

So what do I wear with them [as in bottoms]?

Links appreciated, if not, thats fine.

Those boots are the sex :D
Look at these links for ideas :P

A cute pair of shorts :)
They always look good with boots

or even a classic denim skirt

A nice top with white skinny jeans is also a good look :)

I need to know the best way to reduce a hickey greatly.
I got it last night, and this morning I iced it. I didnt ice it like your supposed to do right after you get it, because I forgot and went straight to bed. I did this morning though, and I also did the toothbrush & spoon tricks.
What's the besstt way to get rid of one though? Actually theres like 6, and on one side of my neck it looks like a rash because theres like 4, but its obviously a hickey.
Alright Thanks :)

The best thing is green tinted cover up.
Seriously, also try to hold ice on it, and using the edge of a coin, rub the coin against the bigger hickeys.
The best treatment is time though :(

I have a samsung 5.1 mega pixel with a bunch of different features. But my problem is that the batteries never last long. I buy rechargables and the double A batteries that last longer than normal batterries. But they don't work. Ive charged my rechargeables like only once and they dont work. Even if I do get new batteries, they only work for maybe 10-30 min. without dying? Any suggestions for longer lasting batteries? My camera takes 2 double A batteries.

Well the same thing happened to my old camera.
I found out that this was cause my camera was getting old and draining all the power to stay turned on.

This could just be caused by the fact that your camera is old...
But I don't know if it is or not.
Otherwise I'd suggest what the person below me said :)

Okay, my next door neighbors have two kids. They are 5 and 9 years old. No offence to them, but I really don't like them. They are really annoying. Whenever we have a day off from school on like snow days or random hollidays where we don't have school on friday or thursday, they ALWAYS ask me to babysit. I have babysat for them like 10 times and I hate it. It keeps getting worse and worse. And it's not even that I don't like them, it's that I don't even want to be there and the day seems to get longer and longer since I have to babysit all day. We are not having school this Friday and I think that they are going to come over and ask me to babysit soon. Can anyone think of a good excuse to say if you dont want to babysit because i don't want to say, "I don't like your kids and I don't want to babysit. Sorry." Please help.

You simply have the right to decide.
Just say to them ''Sorry I have plans''
and if they insist on you babysitting, then tell them ''I have the right to do something/relax on my day off school too''

They're just assuming you're always there.

Once they see that when you have days off school, and you're busy, they'll leave you alone.

thanks for all your help!

Well a similar thing that works amazingly is Labello lip balms.

They have a variety. Some are coloured, some are normal.

I had the rose one for the past couple of months, and it works amazingly.

I was thinking of getting my belly button pierced for my birthday but I was wondering if weight gain would interfere in the healing process? My friend got hers pierced and she gained about 10-15 pounds [actually, it might be because she was prego. not sure] and it got infected.

Well I usually gain up to 10 pounds [water weight] and it lasts 2-3 weeks. Should i switch to another birth control pill and get this under control before I decide to get the piercing? Your thoughts/experiences please!

Generally, weight gain (unless pregnant) doesn't affect the piercing that much.
The healing would go ok as long as you clean it twice a day, and make sure it doesn't get ripped.
When you get it pierced though, I'd advise -this is from experience- you to get a bioplast barbell,rather than the normal one, because they're flexible, and it should be longer than a perfect fit, so when you gain water weight, it doesn't pull the piercing, and it can flex.

Like these:
http://www.bodyjewelleryshop.com/piercing_jewellery/bioplast_material_curved_barbell_jewellery_type.cfm

Later on, when it's completely healed, you can put in normal surgical steel or whatever jewelry.

I used to have a navel piercing, and since I knew I was gonna gain some weight over the holidays, I got it pierced with a bioplast barbell. It healed fine, and was ok. A friend who got the same piercing during the holidays, she put in a normal surgical steel one, and she gained weight (from all the Ben & Jerry's sleepovers :P) and the barbell was too small, so it kind of got embedded in her skin, as it started to heal over the barbell.

But this is just my experience :)

Good luck! :D

Hi everyone!!

im getting a little sick of the usual picture comments on myspace and facebook. (you know, "wow u look pretty"... ive said that a million times!

so i was wondering, what are your favorite comments?
just anything cute that youve seen.

Thanks so much!

This is one I used recently.

(f*ck) you're the sex. *drools on keyboard*...
Jealous...*drowns in drool*

I don't know what your personality is like, but that one is very much like me :P

Actually, Im a girl but..I think I like girls too.
I think im a bisexual. I really like this girl (I think she's straight), like i keep thinking about her, but don't know if she likes me. When I sort of look at her, it feels like she's looking at me too. But the problem is, I really can't see well, so I don't know for sure. And I'm really scared to tell her if i like her or not because Im not really confortable if she knows that Im a bisexual. I'll have to add I walk like a boy and is a tomboy, but my behavior is not different from a girls. I really need help, should I go and tell her? I would tell her, but Im scared how she'll treat me after I tell her and Im really not into it when people tease bisexuals. By the way, Im 13 years old.

Well basically, there's no such thing as bisexuality.
You're either straight, or gay/lesbian.
And since you're only 13 this could be a stage of confusion.

Most people discover their sexual preferences when they are 16 or older.

At the moment you just sound confused.

heyy :) (sorry its so longgg)
okay. so i met this guy (lets call him jamie) at the gym and what happened was jamie and my friend chris were talking and they kept looking over at me, so i walked over and started talking to them and introduced myself to jamie and then after a few minutes left because i had to go run. Well after that i went into a diff room and jamie was there, and so was chris (me and my friends were there too). so then i was like okayy well why dont you guys give me some tips on what to do for abs, and chris was like do the bike thing and i was like ohh okayy, who wants to show me ? and chris was like jamie will show you, so jamies like yeahhh ill show you.
so i was like okayy ill do it with you. so after that we stopped doing it and i was tlaking to my friends and he was talking to his, and then i was like okayy i have to go. so i said bye to my friends and left with my friend. and just as i was leaving jamies like what i dont get a good bye ?! so i stopped and turned around and i was like come here :) and hes like what ? and i said come here. so he came over and i was like jamie, whats your email. and he gave it to me. so then i said bye and left. (the whole time we were in the room he kept looking at me) well i added him a few days later to not seem desperate, and my friend added him as soon as she got home. they tlaked and he was like ohh well i find it weird how the girl who asked for my email didnt even add me :( and then he told her to tell me to add him. then he told her that i was cute. i added him and we were talking. and we were supposed to hangout, and hes like okay if i have my car ill txt you right after my game. school ends at 2:32 and the game couldnt go longer than 5 im pretty sure. so i msged him but he didnt get back to me, even though he said he would? im really confused because he acted and sounded interested in me, and then he doesnt msg me?
help please :)

Well I'd answer this question, but is it really really confusing with ''then I was like okayy and then he was like okayy so like he said''
Better punctuation would be appreciated.

Ok, so I want a small "corset piercing," except, i want five on my stomach, that way, when laced, its a star. anywho, they aren't really permanent, so i want to get it for a special occasion. i don't want it to look too red or anything either, so when's the best time to get it? like, the day of the occasion, the day before, right before or the morning before (assuming the occasion is in the evening)

I agree with the people below.
Definitely on the same day, as close to the event as possible.
One thing that you should be careful with is that you don't lace it up too tight.
A friend of mine did that, and she pulled the rings together so tight that they started ripping out through out the day :\

Good luck :)

is "kinky" considered a cuss word?
like if you said it in front of mom or dad what would they say?
or in front of a high school teacher?

Well I was talking to two of my guy friends and they said something and I replied ''ohh kiky'' as a joke, and my teacher who was listening to our convo at that moment(this was in class) just laughed.
Once when I've said kinky in front of my parents, they just gave me a weird look.
I'd be careful about using that word.
If your parents are conservative and old fashioned, I wouldn't use it.
Also if your teacher is strict, oldish.
Young adults wouldn't really mind though.
It all depends :)

Does anyone know the title to the song at 1:47/1:48 on this video.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=c6q2dRTwp_Q&feature=related

I've heard it in movies and stuff like that, but I't not an easy song to look for, at least for me. Thanks :]

Well to me it sounds like ''my name is'' by eminem.
That's what the music sounds like.
It's hard to tell.
Sorry.

Well one thing you should check is that you're not logged on to aim on a computer.
If you're not, I suggest you make a new account.
