The name is Leah. I live in Cincinnati, OH. I really love to give advice! I have been here since November of 2004. But prior to joining here, I was always been seeked for advice. Still to this day, my primary concern is always helping someone out in need.

I am likely not the best columnist here, but I can quarantee I am very dedicated and concerned when I answer a question. If I answer a question you're not satisfied with, I will ask why, so I can try my best to change my answer. I only give people information that I know; not information that I might know. And if I notice a columnist giving you a wrong answer, you'll know I'll be correcting their response!!

I do allow everyone and anyone to ask a question. I may have listed favorite categories, but I really have no preference. I do love making new friends!! It's no problem to contact me by e-mail or IM. I do have a Myspace, and I will gladly give it out if asked! If you ever need advice, if you feel like ending it all, if you feel like no one cares, I am here!! Talk to me.. I will listen and I will help you!!

It has recently come to my attention, that my cousin has been taking 5-10 tylenol a day. He has started acting really weird, and complains of his foot being numb. Is it possible that by taking 5-10 tylenol, he could be overdosing? If he is, what should i do?

Regular dosage for tylenol is 1-2 pills every 4-6 hours, unless more is needed with permission by a Doctor. If he has no permission from a Doctor and is taking that many, tell him to stop immediately. Overdosing can cause short-term or long-term symptoms. Like for short-term you can have temporary numbness and some dependency (can be long-term) and for long term liver damage and breathing problems. And overdosing for long periods of time can build a higher tolerance from the tylenol.

What you should do is immediately tell him to stop, give him many glasses of water, get him something to eat to decrease effects, and contact the Poison Control Center. This can get really serious if left tolerated!

I got my period on thursday, it was heavy on thursday and friday. and medim on saturday. then, yesterday (sunday) i didn't have it at all except for a little late last night. Then today I had absolutly NONE of it and then at 9:45 pm I got some... and it was like medium. Is that normal? Does it mean I'm still on my period?

That's what happens to me sometimes. and yeah, it is normal. Periods can flow at different times and at different rates. Today you can have heavy flow and tomorrow barely any at all. It's pretty normal so don't worry about it. It may mean you are still on your period. Periods can end at any time. You can barely discharge anything but it may not necessarily mean you're not on it anymore. You can only be sure if you haven't had any discharge for a full day.

My period is 2 weeks late. I have had it for 4 years now so it has kinda got normal, and i know they can come late but 2 weeks!? Is that okay? or is it bad?

That's totally normal. Periods can be a couple weeks late or a couple weeks early. It happens to all girls and usually it's for no reason at all. But sometimes factors such as stress, poor diet, and lack of exercise can make periods late. Also, being pregnant can stop the cycle.

hello! i am totally obsessed with getting the new sidkeick 3. I read every blog about it everyday and every website. I don't know, it's the first electronic that I REALLY want. One problem: i only have 60 dollars. and asking my parents to buy it for me is out of the question!!! The only thing I can do is work at my dads store, and i make 50 dollars a week!! It will take me so long to save up for the sidekick 3, and it comes out july 10th! I just want to buy it as soon as i can!( but i definitely dont need to buy it on july 10th) SO: what are some fast ways to make money. DO NOT SAY GET A JOB SOMEWHERE CAUSE I'M TOO YOUNG. (my dad lets me work at his storre cause im his daughter) also, no babysitting cause i put up like 5 flyers in stores around town for me babysitting but no ones has called and its been 3 days. please i'm desperate!!

You can do some quick jobs around your neighborhood like cutting peoples' yards, become a house cleaner, like go to house-to-house offering to clean people's houses (quick, big money), and also get your parents into giving you allowance. Like offer them a week of dusting, doing dishes, cleaning or whatever for $40 or whatever how much is a good deal to you.

And about the babysitting thing, when I put fliers up I didn't get a call until two weeks later so it takes time on that. Don't worry - someone is always interested in looking for a babysitter.

for my past few periods..right after my period is over..my discharge gets an unusual odor..like dirty fishtank water..yes i know it's gross..and it's really strong..no matter how good i clean with soap in the shower..my discharge will start to smell a few hours later..i know it's not good to dousche but i'm wondering if maybe thats my best bet? thanks!

This could be caused from wearing tight clothing. Usually wearing really tight jeans could lack the entrance of oxygen to and from your body, causing really bad odors. What could probably help is wearing looser jeans, but it would be better wearing other sweat pants or light shorts. Also, silk underwater (and any kind of tight underwear) can cause this as well. Use light, loose cotton underwear to help reduce the odor. Also, there are feminine care products designed to control the odor and discharge like Vagisil creams and powders (containing starch and baking soda that is proven to dramatically reduce odors and discharge). If none of this works, contact a gynocologist.

Does anyone know how to put on liquid eye liner? when i try to do it, it always ends up going into my eye or it smears! =[

I know how you feel. I use to wear liquid eye-liner but stopped because it would also smear or get into my eyes and cause irritation. But the best thing to do is put in the liquid eye-liner but put it on carefully and slowly, then let it dry before doing anything else, and don't put in a lot. An alternative eye-liner could be using the pencils (safer and easier), if that becomes an option to you.

ok, i know you can use tampons and go in a pool, but im not so sure if i should do that because my 'flow' or whatever has really slowed down. usually after a few hours, only like 1/4 of it has been used. i heard that you should never leave a tampon in when you're not on your period. but like i am, but just barely. is this still safe??????

p.s i really want to go swimming!!

Use the lightweight small tampons for small hold. They are still safe enough for little flow during a period. If you use them that same rules apply - don't keep it in for a long period of time (6-8 hrs), and still change them often, And whenever you are not swimming you can use the pantiliners. They are for regular use (vaginal discharge) or for light-flow periods.

Ok so i wear a little make up... you know cover up and a little mascara but i want to wear eyeliner and stuff. Heres my problem everytime i try to put it on i feel like i'm doing it wrong and i just stop. and i have really uneven skin and i never can get it all covered up without looking bad...can you help me out?

If you want to use eyeliner that you can easily put on, use the easy-glide pencils so it would be safe and easy to do. Liquid eye-liners can be a problem sometimes. Also, for uneven skin, I have the same problem! Just use a little concealer (not a lot b/c that just could make it worse) and make sure it's for all skin tones and not just one. Like the Loreal super blendable makeup.

okay so whenever im on aim it like randomly signs me off and then signs me on.. its been like this for like 2 weeks and i dont know what to do.. any ideas?

It could either be a virus, it could be connection problems, or just the AIM. First, try using a virus-protection program and scan for any kind of viruses that may be affecting the AIM program, or check your internet connections. Using dial-up could be a factor. Also sometimes even cable, or DSL modems could, on occasion, disconnect for just a few seconds and sign back online. [If none of those apply] try uninstalling AIM from your computer, and install it back again. If that does not help, use AIM express. Aim does mess up on occasion from server problems as well so it might just be AIM and not you.

what exactly is pre-cum. and what are the chances of getting pregnant? i realy dont think the condom broke

pre-cum is like clearish semem that you can barely see and it comes out before the whitish semen comes out.. and it also comes out right before a guy ejaculates.

Well there are still chances because there is such thing as pre-cum. You can't see it but it can happen. And plus with using a condom there is a chance of condom breakage.

im 15 almost 16 and i am still in a AA-cup bra.

mom is a A-cup, but my sister is a C-cup.

This is completely destroying my life! I have not had a boyfriend cuz' my breasts are tiny now I am old and nobody will want me.

what about breast enlargement?

are there any other wayz i can get someone to love me?

is surgery for enlarging my breasts my best way to get my life back?

i want to have a boyfriend before i get old! am i already too old? none of the boys will want me soon. i am almost 16!

Please HELP ME!

You still have time for your breasts to grow. The maximum could be up to 20 years old. However, you still have alternatives to make your breats look larger. There are padded bras and shirts out there you can use to put yourself up to a B cup. Don't worry about it! You have plenty of time.

Hello,

I'm 17 and I've had my period for four years now, so it's usually very regular. However, it was supposed to have come two weeks ago, and yet it's not here. I'm still having the signs of "PMS" that I normally have (cramps, nausea, etc.), which have lasted for over a week, yet there's still no actual period. I don't have sex, so I can't be pregnant. This has never happened before. I figure that if it doesn't come within another week or so, I may have to see a doctor. Can you possibly explain this to me, and should I see a doctor?

I've been through this before. Sometimes periods can be a few weeks late or a few weeks early, while still getting PMS symptoms anytime before, after, or during periods. Usually it's regular. But if it becomes a month late, then it would be great to see a Doctor then. Usually Doctors will tell you it can be caused by stress or pregnancy (which pregnancy doesn't apply to you) and will recommend an appointment for you. Good luck on that though.

uugh everytime i shave my bikini line i get really bad bumps. i used a new venus razor and shave gel, but they still show up. THEY DO NOT GO AWAYY. lol. what can make them go away? thanks

use shave gel HIGH in aloe, vitamins, and moisturizers. Also, after shaving, put aloe gel on the area, which soothes the bumps. Also, hydrocortisone cream can reduce the inflammation on the area.

I have a 2 year old guinea pig who is white and SO cute. He stinks up my whole bedroom and my mom wants to get rid of him. I love him and I just wanted to know if there was any special cages that they have or odor sprays. Also how much they cost. Thanks a bunch!

you can actually get pet shampoo and spray to reduce the odors in the cage. you can also get bedding for it that can absorb moisture from the pet. the shampoos and other care products are inexpensive (the ones I got for the guinea pig I once had was only 5 dollars each for a big bottle of shampoo and spray, and the bedding is cheap as well, it is only a few dollars for a big bag.

My throat has been hurting for a very lond time and I was just wondering if there was any special way to get rid of the pain.(other than medicine)

Saltwater can help (mixing salt in a glass of warm/cold water, chewing on icecubes for awhile. but if it is getting serious and has been with you for awhile, it can be potentially serious. try seeing a doctor if it persists or worsens after a day or two.
