At the dentist today, we were discussing whitening techniques. She said typically she would not suggest that a person of my age use any type of bleach on their teeth but I am an exception. She said I have unusually strong enamel and that it would be fine to use them for a couple of days.

She ran out of Crest Whitestrips Supreme (that you can only get at the dentist) so she gave me 2 top ones and 4 bottom ones. Can I use one of the bottom ones on my top teeth?

Going back to ask my dentist isn`t an option right now, otherwise I would ask her personally.

Thanks! (link)
I'd think it would be fine. It's the same stuff, just one for top and one for bottoms.


what are some love songs that are recent?? i would like it if there was a message that goes something like, i didn't know i would fall for you but now that i am, i'll never let you go or something along that line. if there's no new love songs like that, love songs in general would be good, too.


thanks. (link)
I dunno if it's exactly what you're looking for but Snow Patrol (cool band despite the odd name) has a song called Chasing Cars that is positively radiant.


I used to live in Missouri and then my dad had a job transfer, so we moved to North Carolina 15 hours and 2 minutes away! omgsh and i miss my friends soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom mentioned going back to Missouri to visit for a week or so. And i talked to her and said when are we going to drive out to Missouri to see everyone???? Then she goes well i dont know so we might not and we might. The only thing that is keeping us away from missouri is we are buliding a house and my mom helps out with the house.

How can i convince her to go to missouri? would it be cheap?
i need good arguments against the fact we cant go because i want to go SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.


THANKYOU!!!

No, it wouldn't be cheap with gas prices how they are. But it's possible. Just help her out and make her more apt to be on your side and then show her [in several ways] how much it means to you. Tell her. But remember it's not the end of the world if you don't go. She might not want you to go because you need to settle in and adjust.


I want to learn how to play guitar. i only have 300 dolars to work with. I want to know weather i should learn to play acoustic guitar or electric guitar first. And i have no idea where to buy it from do if you could give me an inexpencive brand name that would be good. Thanks

(link)
ALWAYS learn on acoustic. Or you will absolutely suck. Just go and pick up one anywhere, new or used, get someone who can tune it to tune it for you, restring it if need be, and then learn. Practice makes perfect, be sure this is what you want before you start. Good luck.


ok so my gf has to work at school every day of the week and i want to go see her, but the problem is i dont have a ride. so i thought about walking, but she is very against it, even though i live maybe 7 miles away. i am used to walking long distnaces and i am willing to do it so dont convince me not to on behalf of that, i just want to know should i not do it because she is mad, because she still really wants me to come, and maybe it would be a supirise (link)
I've been in this situation (or very close) only.. I'm the girlfriend. She's probably scolding you about coming because she doesn't want you to be under the impression that you have to do it. But (and I may be wrong) she does want to see you, and if you do walk it she probably won't be angry. She just doesn't want to be selfish.
And she's a good girlfriend for caring.


Okay, im natrually tan and i dont want to be at all! i wish i had light pale skin like movie stars have.
i use 50 spf sunblock but STILL i tan!
i know everyone wants to be tan but id just like to be a little lighter.. is there away to get rid of a tan or lighten your skin? (link)
Ah, not really. Lighter makeup would help to a certain degree and certain clothing colours will make you look more pale. I use Halloween-type makeup year round.. but I'm naturally pasty white and just trying to emphasize it. You could try it and it may work, depending on how tan you are. Ivory or Porcelain foundation may work.


I'am a 30 yr old male and she is 27 yrs old. I have been dating a girl who is bipolar and everything seems to be going great. I'am nervious about her condition. But I really want to know if this relationship will work and how I should handle the relationship. Thanks. (link)
If everything seems to be going great then it probably is. All you can really do is go with it, I mean.. what kind of lowlife dumps a chick and a perfectly good relationship because of her condition?


I have a friend whos going out with this guy i really like but nobody knows. I dont think hes really interested in her but he said he likes her. THe dont talk often or anything. I like him i'm not afraid to talk to him and i pretend i'm happy for them. Hes really shy around me and hes only talked to me a couple of times and i mainly have to start the conversations and hes only started in a couple of times. I realllllllllllly like him and everything but i'm afraid to lose my friend. I think hje would go out with me because my friend was in the same situation as me and they ended up going out. Hes really cute to (link)
Talk to your friend, then talk to him. Don't steal him, really, but tell her how you feel and then do whatever feels right to you. I suggest putting your friend first, it they're a good friend that is.


What could I do to get my hair a lighter shade without dye?

I heard you could do something with lemons but yeah.. (link)
Yeah. Lemon juice and sunlight, but don't count on it looking great or lasting long. Still, if you wanna, then try it. You could always still dye it.


Say if you wanted to dream about something specific, like a person or a character what are ways you could do that? Like what do you think about/do in the day so you can dream about something you want to at night? (link)
You can't control what you dream.. and I may be incorrect in what I am about to say but I find that what you think about while you're awake and as you drift off to sleep sometimes influences your dreams, because you think while you're asleep, which is why people say "sleep on it" when they want someone to think about something.
Also a good technique for remembering dreams is starting sort of a "dream diary" where, after you wake up, you write everything you remember. And eventually your ability to remember dreams will improve, that is; if you keep it up.


Im a lesbain and for 5 years i have been trying to find someone in my area for sexual realations is this wrong? (link)
To some people this is `wrong` and to others it is perfectly acceptable. The way I see it, everyone has different ideas of what is right and what is wrong. If it doesn't feel wrong to you, then do it.


i'm 17/f. my boyfriend (19/m) used to live in my house because he had severe family problems living with his dad. he lived with us until he graduated high school, and he moved away yesterday. i dated him for 3 years and i'm so upset. what are some good things to do to make me feel better? (link)
Keep in contact(?) and just chill out. Things have to improve eventually, somehow.


i don't know what to wear for my sister's graduation...
they said dress fancy but obviously not steal the grads' thunders by looking more fancier than grads
but i do have this nice black cocktail dress that i barely wear, but just have for occasions like this, should i wear the dress with heels or just go casual in jeans or shorts? help plz, thanks~ (link)
A nice skirt and blouse would go well in either case, so that's you best bet. And that doesn't mean you have to look like some stiff buisness woman. Be comfortable.


my brothers are ruining my computer!

my brothers, play these games, that i know have viruses because my protection stuff, tells me. and i try to tell my mom, and shes like whatever dont worry about it. i dont care if it breaks, then they cant go on it. but HELLO. what about me? i mean i hardly go on, but on rare occassion, i like to. and that tottaly isnt fair that there breaking it, and ruining it for everyone.

Block the particular sites and remove whatever you've gotten on your computer ASAP.


i have these wierd bumps that are lining the top o my mouth nd my tounge also has them and has become swollen...my neck in the front has also become swollen..any idea about what it could be? (link)
Not sure. It could be several things, your best bet is to see a doctor.


my boyfriend gives me compliments all the time, and they're always sweet. i'm completely unused to getting compliments and i rarely ever give them, and i can't think of anything to say. any ideas of serious compliments that don't sound to corny or rehearsed. i just want to be able to say something. everytime i try it comes out sounding bad. plz help me with ideas. (link)
Just say whatever comes to mind. The more you worry about saying something back the longer it's going to take for you to find the right words. Some people don't even use words to compliment. Compliments are understood by their actions. If he compliments you then it means he appreciates you and you don't have to stress over not knowing what to say back. (: Hope I helped.


are there different ways to give head that are more pleasurable to guys? like different techniques or ideas? i want my boyfriend to really like it haha. thanks =) (link)
Just be open and unafraid to experiment and you're good. You might get better as you go but people rarely start out bad. Lol. Ask him what he wants. Be open and communicate.


14/f

Every day for about a week I've had this watery poop that just sort of explodes out when i let it, it's not individual turds, but not really diahhrea-like either. It's like a watery stool. I eat a lots of fruits and vegetables and I drink a ton of liquids. Could that have something to do with it?

I've never had this before, so I need to know what's causing this. (link)
Yeah, you just need some more fiber. Stuff like bread and pasta. And if you like cheese, that should help alot.


I'm getting my first car soon, and my mom said I have only $2,000 to pay for it. So..I did some research and found a car. Here's the info about it:

-1992 Toyota Corolla
-131,000 miles
-$800
-Air Conditioning
-AM/FM Radio
-Cassette Player
-Automatic Transmission
-Manual locks & windows (not power)

The seller also got a new starter and a new battery for the car. Should I buy it or keep looking? (link)
Look around a little bit more and then decide, but act fast. Figure out what you wanna do.


I am 100% addicted to soda, my doctor has even confirmed my caffine addiction. However, I really need to stop drinking it for volleyball and just my own personal health. I'm in very great shape, but I feel the soda slows me down in conditioning. So, I would like to cut the drink out of my life.

I've tried so many methods, but I always give in and drink even more then I started with. I drink about three a day right now. Any ideas how to quit? (link)
Have you tried the flavoured carbonated water?
