Q: im a witch and i m trying to be a christian, i just went to this teen revial {aquire the fire} and felt all on fire for God, and then i just played 'light as feather w/my coven. am i stupid for trying to do both? do i have to be one or another? can i be both? so confused....

Aww, I wanted to go to Aquire the Fire but I didnt end up going. But to answer your question, you cannot be both! In the bible God says you cannot worship two things at the same time. Either you worship and serve him, or you worship the other thing(In your case, being wiccan). It's your choice...serve what you want..but you cant do both. I will pray for you and hope you decide to become 100% christian ! good luck..

Q: You said you were on the south beach diet/low carb diet or something like that and lost a lot of weight? well i want to lose weight fast and it sounds like your diet is working so my question is if your on a low carb diet, doesnt that mean like no break,pasta etc. so wat do you eat besides that??All i can think of is fruit and yogurt. Also, do you eat like pizza or sandwiches/hoagies, since its only a little bread?Do you like eat ANY junk such as brownies/cookies/candy? thanks

No bread rice pasta potatoes. No junk food a all. No fruit!(Until after two weeks) No Yogurt! (Definatley no yogurt) No pizza, No sandwhiches. Nothing with sugAR. YOUR main food will be meat. chicken, turkey, burger meat, bologna, ham, sausage stuff like that. If you want a sandwhich you eat like the meat wrapped in lettuce instead of the bun. I suggest going to this site www.lowcarbcafe.com to have all your questions answered on this diet..theres even a cookbook! You lose 8-13 lbs in the first 2 weeks and 1-2 lbs a week after that. good luck..if you need more help aim me at ilinerobsession

Q: what are some ways to show your significant other that you really care about them thats not sexual or extreme?

Give lots of kisses, and hugs...and tell them you like them a lot/love them !!

Q: i was looking at someones page and i saw that at the bottom of the answer it also showed a box and the rating. how do i get that for my page? thx!

Oh, if you want it right under the question then yes you have to have a paid account to do the little code thing. So if you do get the account, you can ask me how to do it and i'll help you

Q: i want to lose about 5 - 10 pounds by summer which is a month and like 3 weeks away. How can i do this in a healthy way?

Cut down on your sugary foods: Bread, Rice, pasta, potatoes. Junk food, soda/pop, etc. I suggest reading into the Low Carb Diet, atkins or south beach. it may seem hard at first, but it really isint. I've lost 20 lbs and have done it for 3 months ! And you lose up to 10 lbs in the first TWO WEEKS! If you need any low carb info you can always ask me :)

Q: is masterbation a sin? if so then how do i stop?

As a christian, and my belief yes it is in a sin. God says in the bible that your body is not your own, it is Gods. You shouldent be using it for immoral things like that. I have verses ecept I cant think them at the top of my head, but if you would like them ..send something to my inbox!

Q: is there anyway u can naturally make ur breast bigger with out stuffin a bra?

i rate high

Nope, they grow on their own. They usally stop growing at about the age of 18, so! Dont worry about it because eventually they will grow..and, the boob-pills dont work!

Q: i am like deadly obsessed with the tv show the oc. tonight it said on my tv guide that it was coming on(like it does every thursday) but it didnt and this president bush thing did. did this happen to anyone else? whats up with it will it b reschedualed? please answer this is an emergancy!!!

When the President Bush thing is over, most likley they will air all the shows that were cancelled because of it, and one of the shows will be the OC! There is awlays re-runs if you dont catch it tonight !

Q: I've got an interview tomorrow and I need something impressive to wear. Normally I would wear slacks and a long sleeved collar shirt but what should I wear now that it's so hot? Thanks, I rate. :)

A skirt, not a mini but a not-too-long one. Something classy but still cute and "in". And just a cute top! You should go to Kohls or Forever 21...they usually have stuff like this..and for cheap too!

Q: Helloooo I am 16/female and Korean..except I'm kinda preppy..actually very preppy..most of my friends are white..Anyway, is it weird that I only have crushes on WHITE GUYS? Is this normal...or am I racist?? I don't think I'm racist because I do have Mexican and Black friends..I just am only attracted to white abercrombie-type guys...Why??? It's not like they would go out with me though because I'm asian...so if there's a white guy out there, please answer and tell me why won't you go out with me?? I will rate 5's for honest but non-critisizing answers..also I want to know why I know have crushes on white guys!

Thats just your style. Thats who your attracted to so dont worry about it. Your not racist, we all have different things we look for in guys..and you just happen to like the white guys more. dont worry so much over it!

Q: on AIM, when you put your cursor over someone's screen name, it says "Service, Warnings, Online Time, Capabilities" right?

Well when I put my cursor over my best friend's screen name, it says all of those things, but the last thing says "Comments: BFF"

She said she didn't put it there, so how did it get there? Is there a way to give certain people secret messages when they hover over your screen name? If anyone knows, how? Thanks

You put it there. You put it under "Comments" somehow. I bet you were just playing around with AIm one day and found a place to put comments. I remember seeing that option, butI forgot where. So no there are no secret messages through aim. So yeah..hope I helped..

Q: ok so i'm in 8th grade which means it's my last year in junior high. as we all know, it's an awesome part of your life and for the end of the year (school year) i wanted to throw a party of some sort but i'm not sure whether to have a normal little party with friends, a pool party, go all out and invite practicially everyone in my grade, or what. when and where should it be? any suggestions?

I think you should go all out and invite everyone in your grade. It might be a little pricey but if everyone pitches in like $5 to get in, you might be able to do it. Rent out a place where everyone can have 1 last time to say their byes, get numbers, addresses..whatever...good idea! Have fun and good luck in high school!

Q: this is really weird but ..im always afraid to sign on aim because im afraid someone will say something really mean to me and ill get upset for weeks. I over analyze convos on AIM wayy too much and I think if someone says anything like hi instead of hey or um i think they hate me!! what do i do? I love talking on AIM but Ive had some bad experiences and now im paranoid!

LOL. Ohh me too. Because "Hi" seems like "I'm mad" or "I'm sad". Well ignore your thoughts. Go on aim, and just talk! AIM wont bite haha. If you ever start thinking someone hates you...just tell yourself that thats really retarded and keep talking. sooo idk if I helped a lot...but if you want...you can IM me on aim // ilinerobsession // and we can figure out a way to fix it lOl!

Q: I have a friend and i dont know how to approach the situation os asking her out, and i wanna be friends with her first. We talk on a messenger and stuff but no verbal conversations at school or anything id love some advice please help.

-Nab-

Well, start talking to her at school! Like if you see her, just say "hey" and start a convo. it might be kind of nerve racking, so crack a joke about something you said on the interent that was funny. Just to kinda get you guys relaxed, and just talk! And pretty soon you'll be talking at school, too...and the maybe...if you click..you can ask her out. But right now, focus on trying to talk to her at school. good luck.

Q: 13/f nd i have had my period for a while now but its been a while since i got it and my mother and sister had it twice since my last time and im havent been sexually active since before i started getting my period????wats wrong with me? is it normal?? please help me i rate high♥

Yeah periods are irregular for the first few years. So dont worry about it. some months you may skip it, some months it might only be 1-2 days. It all depends on how your body reacts. But periods are ireggular normally so you shouldent worry.

Q: Im 15 years old and me and my boyfriend are haveing sex with out a condom and the other night he went in my twice can i still get pregnet even if im on the pill????

Yeah. Pills are still not 100% effective, so you should take a pregnancy test 2-3 weeks after you have sex. No birth control method (pill, condom, etc.) is 100% guaranteed so be careful still!

Q: ok me, joan, & laura all skipped our electives today. i need your guys help!!! idk what to do
ppl know laura did because her 2 elective teacher called her other teachers to see if she was absent! i feel very guilty & regretful. i told my parents already. but mostly all my grade knows we did because joan is very popular! so what do i do about my rep? what do i say to people taht give me odd looks? what do i do when my teachers+principals ask me questions??? I NEED YOUR HELP ADVICE-ISTS

Its just skipping class, why will people make a big deal over it? You told your parents already so thats good. Your rep isint ruined because you skipped class...so dont worry worry. If teachers/principals ask you...tell the truth or lie. your choice. But honeslty, what is the school going to do? Hit you? So you should just be like "Yes, we skipped class." And to the people that give you werid looks...just be like "What are you looking at?!" Your making this too much of a big thing when all it is, is skipping one class.

Q: its my day off from school. i dont really feel like going to hang out eith friends i just wanna chill home. can anyone give me some funn sites.

Q: Okay so theres this guy that I really, really like, and I know he likes me too.. The only problem is, I know he's going to ask me out soon, but every time I get a boyfriend, I freak out and think that they don't like me and I get convinced that they're only staying with me to be nice, and I really don't want that to happen with this one.. Any ideas on how to stop freaking out and just let things happen?? thanks so much!

haha I do the same thing, its really lame, because it totally makes the relationship mess up. I would just try and not to worry about it, because think about it would you stay with some guy for a really long time just to be nice, no probably not because it would suck for you. And usually guys are more selfish, they aren't going to stay with you only to be nice cause then they aren't getting anything out of it, a guys not going to stay with you if he doesn't want to. So don't worry about it and have fun!
