Me and my b/f have been together for 3 weeks. out of those 3 weeks we have only spoken and seen eachother for 1 week. no were not avoiding eachother. before we got together he signed up to do this lincoln challenge thing. so he will be gone for 6 months.I have liked him since I was in 8th grade which was like 2 yrs ago and he has liked me for 3 yrs. He will be home on labor day for a break. should I break up with him when he gets back?

No. It would break your heart and his.

Just write to him at least three times a week and make sure he writes back.

Call him every night before you go to bed.

I'm sure he will miss you. Don't worry!

Good luck!

Last night my boyfriend got mad at me and said he was mad because he doesn't think I care about him. I love him with all of my heart and he loves me too. I just don't know how to show it. Please help.

Write a poem about how much you love him and then give the poem to him along with a card saying how sorry you are.

Take him to go see a movie and kiss him. (Well..if it's a romantic movie)

Write down all of the songs that remind you of you and him or just of him and make a CD of them all and give the CD to him.

Take him out to dinner and kiss him when you drop him off.

Call him every day or every other day and say, "Hey. I just was thinking about you. How are you?" and blah blah blah. Then before you hang up say, "I love you! Bye."

Hope I helped!
Good luck!

I know this is kinda gross but... i kind of fart... a lot! I have gotten a nickname...Frootlootsfartsalot. they call me FLFA for short. :(. To make matters worse everybody knows i am the farter!My mom says only men can fart but i cant help it! it feels good! I NEED UR HELP!!!!!
- Frootlootsfartsalot AKA FLFA

I'm not a man and none of my friends are and we all fart. So, it's normal.

Beans contain sugars that we humans cannot digest. The most offensive sugars, known as "flatulence factors" to scientists who research farts, are raffinose, stachiose, and verbascose. Foods with those sugars in them is what makes your farts smell bad.

Other notorious fart-producing foods include corn, bell peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, milk, bread, eggs, beer, and raisins. People unable to digest milk due to lactose intolerance will suffer extreme flatulence if they consume dairy products.

The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly smelly farts.

So, my advice to you is to avoid eating foods like the ones above.

in your opinion, is "pissed" a curse word? i am 15/f and my friends and teachers say it, and i was just curious. for example, "that really pissed me off."

Your parents may not like you saying it.

But, no, it is not a curse word.

Just be careful of who you say it around because some people freak out about it.

hi 14/f
im 5,5 and 125 pounds
is that fat normal
please help me
if i am fat
how do i get skinny?

You aren't fat...AT ALL.

No, I'm not just trying to be nice.

I'm serious.

Go to www.am-i-fat.com
I use it a lot because I'm paranoid about my weight sometimes and I agree with the person below me.

If anything, you might be a little bit underweight.

Can feeding ur cat grass help it? i heard it can.. what can it do to it?

Grass is pretty indigestible for cats and dogs because they do not have the digestive enzymes necessary to breakdown the fibre content ..which is high. Apart from fibre and water, grass also contains some minerals, vitamin A and sometimes vitamin D.

The nutritional value of grass for cats and dogs is very poor...so there is unlikely to be a basic instinctive nutritional reason why cats and dogs would eat grass ...unless they have a need for dietary fibre itself. Cats in particular are known to be obligate carnivores and have no requirement for nutrients derived from plant material.

It has been reported (but not scientifically proved) that cats and dogs will eat grass if they have a digestive system problem such as gastritis or nausea. They will also eat unusual materials if they have a nutritional deficiency, or if they are hungry and do not have access to food. On the other hand eating small amounts of untypical foods..grass, wood, leaves..can just be a normal behavioural trait and is not important providing the material eaten is not toxic, such as laburnum leaves or sticks. Grass is usually safe unless it has been sprayed with herbicide or insecticides.

My friend threw a party at her house in early may which i didn't attend because I was sick. Anyway, from what I heard, it was stupid/boring/not much/etc. She's throwing one Aug. 12 & she's asking for my help so I started by setting up a guestlist. What can I do to make this a really awesome house party? I really want her to be able to say that she had a great time at her party. So my questions are:
*Would it be better to have a theme? like dance party and decorate her garage with crazy lights & music or just a chill party... eat food, do some stuff?
*Should we send out invitations or is that too 3rd grade-ish? (I would probably design these)
*What kind of food/drinks should she plan on getting?
*What are some fun things to suggest playing/doing? I don't want to have to make people do anything like a little kid party but maybe some organization would be good.
details:
we'd probably have it in her 2 car garage. it'd be about 25 people there total. We don't have a ton of money to put into this... I do have a lot of hose lights and things like that. We're all 15/16.
thanks so much for all of your help!

This is what I would do.

For the theme question, no. Don't have a theme. Personally, I despise themes. They annoy me because everything has to match and all that crap, so it makes everything so complicated.

Set up a table in her garage with music and food along with some lights and music and let everyone talk for about twenty minutes after everyone gets there and while your waiting for the people to arrive.

As for the invitations, well, some of your friends might be stuck up and think invitations are "gay" even though it's pretty much impossible for a piece of paper to be gay. Whatever. Anyways, I would get everyone's phone numbers of who you are inviting and call them and give them the details and see if they can come or not.

The food.
Get a bowl of chips like the original, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and any other kind you want. Also, get a plate of celery and carrots with ranch and blue cheese dressing. Then get a bowl of candy. Put snickers, milky ways, hershy kisses, and things like that in it. All of the stuff I just listed..put that all on the table in the garage. And for dinner (if they are staying that late), I would just order two large cheese pizzas and two large pepperoni pizzas.

The drinks.
Get coke, water, sweet tea, root beer, and sprite.

Now, the games.
You can play truth or dare.
You can prank call people.
Just sit around and talk.
You can play spin the bottle.
You could set up a big tv somewhere and rent a movie that everyone agrees on and watch it.
You can go swimming.

Then, 10 or 15 minutes before the time people are suppossed to be leaving, start heading back to the garage and talk for a little while and get something to eat till everyone goes home.

my knee hurts. its the left side of my right knee. and like i would be sitting and not move it for a long time then, move it like straight and it will cramp up and feel like i pullled a muscle. but it doesnt hurt when i walk but cracks a lot. also like if you look at it, it doesnt look like anythings wrong with it, but like on the left side of my knee it hurts. its been like this for like a month

anything would be gratly appreciated

Arthritic joints make sounds caused by the loss of smooth cartilage and the roughness of the joint surface.
So, that would be the cracking sound that you are hearing.

From what it sounds like, you've torn your cartilage like I did a few months ago.

I would suggest going to the doctor and getting them to take an x-ray of your knee.

I hope you feel better soon!

Iam thinking about building my own advice column and I was wondering what should I call it?

Hmmmm.

Well, here are some ideas:
your name
(your favorite store)GiRL
(your favorite store)BABE
your favorite song
your favorite band
ilove you (bfs or gfs name)
(the state where you were born with all letters except i in caps)GiRL
(the state where you were born with all letters except i in caps)BABE

You can try adding things before and after the word(s).

Examples:
x0ox blah xo0x
xo0ox blah xo0ox
xox blah xox
x0x blah x0x
xx blah xx

If I put () anywhere, ignore those. Don't make them part of your advice column name.

ooow I have molars growing in behind like, my 3rd molar I think? well they're growing in on both sides on the bottom and they hurt really bad. i thought they were wisdom teeth but my friend said those dont grow in until you're like, 20.(i'm 13)theres like, a flap of gums that i can lift up with my tounge and it hurts. soo first of all, what teeth are these, and is it supposed to hurt bad?

Your friend was wrong.

Most people's wisdom teeth come in or begin coming in between 13 and 18.

If I were you, I would get them pulled now.

Call your dentist and schedule an appointment as soon as you can or it's going to continue hurting.

my boyfriend is a cousin ov mine.we have been together for one year and are mad about each other.just lately we have been arguing alot and he has started to get paranoid about us been seen together. im really scared of losing him. does he love me or not?

Okay, you retards below me. Did she ask if her child would be mentally challenged? No. If you have such a big problem with it, then why the hell did you answer this question? Actually what you said wasn't even an answer! I have this girl in my neighborhood and her parents are cousins and most guys say that shes very pretty and I know that she is not at all mentally challenged so people below me, stop freaking out about that.

Yes, he loves you. I think he's just nervous of what people will think of you two. He thinks people will say what the idiots who didn't answer your question below me said. Which, unless we have that messed up people in the world who walk up to random people and freak out about you guys being cousins, then he should stop worrying about it. Sit down and have a talk with him. Ask him why he keeps starting all these arguments and ask him why he cares if people see you both together.

Sorry if the idiots were rude to you.

I'm babysitting this demand child. How can i get her to shut up?! Omg. shes so annoying. please help

You can try the following things even though I doubt half of them will be any help:
Tell her to shut up.
Get her a really long movie that isn't boring.
Threaten to call her parents.
If they have a computer, tell her to go play a computer game or something like that.
Say, "If you can beat me in the quiet game, I'll give you five dollars."
Let her listen to music on a CD player.

If I were you, I would go with the threatening to call her parents or the quiet game thing.

If you say, "(the kid's name), can you quiet down for a little while please. I have a very bad head ache." and if they don't shut up, you could walk out of the room and get the phone. In the other room, pretend to be talking into the phone to her parents and just say random stuff. Well..not as random as saying, "I LIKE SHRIMP!" But just say this,"Hi Mrs. and Mr. (Last Name). It's (your name), your babysitter." Then pause for a few seconds and continue, "(The annoying kid's name) keeps yelling through the house after I have kindly asked her to stop." and wait about 30 seconds. Then say, "Okay. I'll tell her. I'll see you soon. Bye" and go back to where you got the phone and put it down. Then walk over to the kid and say, "Your parents said that if you don't stop, you're going to be grounded for a week."
Hah. I doubt you want to do that but I bet it would work!

Good luck!

What can boast your metabolism....???????

Also does green tea even work?

Do some type of aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, swimming, stationary cycling, aerobics, etc.) on a DAILY basis for 30 to 60 minutes, preferably in the morning. When you are active your metabolism will soar.

Do an additional 15 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in the evening, five days per week.

Incorporate "intervals" into most of your aerobic sessions. Intervals are a powerful tool to help boost your metabolism. Intervals means adding a brief stint of 1 minute aerobic activity every 10 minutes into your regular exercise routine.

Tone your muscles with weight training six days per week. Toned muscles supercharge your metabolism. This should be done just after an aerobic exercise session. You should exercise each body part three times per week. For example, work on the lower body on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the upper body on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This can be accomplished at a gym or at home with a few sets of dumbbells.

Do not skip meals. Always eat breakfast. Skipping breakfast sends the message to your body that you are starving because you haven't had food in 18+ hours (dinner the night before to lunch the following day). As a protective mechanism, your metabolism slows down.

Look for ways to be active. Park as far from the store as you can rather than looking for the closest parking spot. Use the stairs rather than the elevator, etc. Look for the hard way to do things.

And yes, green tea works if you drink a cup a day.

um. this may sound strainge, but i am trying to raise a baby mouse that i saved from being fed to my freidns lizzard. as soon as i saw it i fell in love. i'm not sure how to raise it though so, if you could give me adivice? thanks so much!

Mice are exceptionally timid but if you will talk to it after you bring it home and place it in a cage of its own, it will gradually become accustomed to the area and will petting, handling and talking you should get the mouse to be very tame.

As an older mouse will not adjust and become tame as easily. When the mouse gets to know you and trusts you it should climb into your hand and upward on your arm. You will have to be very careful and have a method of capture if it crawls from your hand or arm to the floor as it could get into a small area and you might not be able to locate it. A box would be a good thing to have in an emergency to capture the mouse. You would put the box down on the floor and when it goes to explore it you could just pick up the box or whatever container you have for capture and place it back in it's cage. You might want to try rewarding it with food when it comes to you and remember the more you handle it the easier it will be to tame the mouse.

When you go to pick up a mouse you will want to pick it up by its tail, don't grasp the end as you might harm the end by tearing the skin and its tail covering might come off. You will need to move quickly when picking up the mouse by its tail, so as soon as you have hold of its tail you need to lift it. Be careful as it might resist and bite you. You will want to take the mouse to the area where you want it by his tail and let it down, don't take much time in this movement of your mouse. When you want to grab it for some reason you might grasp fold of the lose skin over its neck and shoulders but just enough to keep it from turning its head and biting your hands.

I would suggest getting a cage that measures about six by twelve inches. You need enough room for an area to feed and water, a spot so it can take care of his daily elimination, a box that it can have a little nest, and you'll need room for it's toys. It will need enough room to play and run around without knocking over items in its cage area. Be sure to buy it an exercise wheel.

It is very inexpensive to feed a mouse and don't put out more than perhaps a teaspoonful of food a daily. It will eat mostly at night so you might decide to feed it right before you go to bed. If you put out perishable foods in the earlier part of the day and it doesn't decide that it's hungry until during the night you might have spoiled foods and endanger it's health. You can buy pellets for mice or even cubes of food or feed it some nuts, bird grain, seeds, brown bread or even bits of dog food. You can work out your individual feeding method with your mouse in just a few days.

Mice can get bite wounds if you have more than one mouse in a cage and these wounds can be treated with an ointment. It will groom itself a lot so it will clean the wound itself.

If your mouse seems at all depressed and has a discharge from its nose or has difficulty in breathing I would suggest checking with your veterinarian about medicine.

Sometimes a mouse will have diarrhea due to its diet, so make adjustments in its diet and if you feel it is necessary to consult your veterinarian you might want to bring stool samples.

Mice for the most part if taken care of properly will be very hard and have no disease. Just a little daily food, fresh water, and cleaning its area will make your mouse very happy.

Also, here's a book you can order about raising mice:

Is blow drying bad for you hair?

Is shampoo bad for you hair?

Why?

Thanks guys!

Blow drying is bad for your hair, but only if it is on high instead of low.
The reason why it is bad for your hair on high is because of the heat, which fries your hair.

Shampoo is good for your hair unless you wash it too much/often.
The only reason it isn't good to wash it too much/often is because it dries your hair out.

my friend has a drinking problem and she is only 14.any advice to get her to stop.

An alcoholic cannot stop drinking and get help unless they admit that they have a problem.

You can try Ala-teen and Ala-non.

You could also try going to a book store and buying one or more of the following books for your friend and giving them to her, but make sure she isn't drinking when you give them to her:
Ala-non's twelve steps and twelve traditions
Courage To Change
Addictions- A Banquet In The Grave
Anne Smith's Journal 1933-1939
Hope For Today
12 Steps To Loving Yourself
Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book

You can try telling her all the dangerous side effects of alcohol, but make sure isn't drinking if you do so.
Here are some of the side effects of alcohol:
-Blurred vision and coordination problems
-Cancer of the mouth
Alcohol also can impair vision, impair sexual function, slow circulation, cause malnutrition, cause water retention (resulting in weight gain and bloating), lead to pancreatitis and skin disorders (such as middle-age acne), dilate blood vessels near the skin causing "brandy nose," weaken the bones and muscles, and decrease immunity.
-Cell membranes are highly permeable to alcohol, so once alcohol is in the bloodstream it can diffuse into nearly every tissue of the body
-Cancer of the throat
-Alcoholics who do not quit drinking decrease life expectancy by 10 to 15 years.
-After excessive drinking, unconsciousness can occur and extreme levels of consumption can lead to alcohol poisoning and death
-Cancer of the esophagus
-The liver detoxifies (or metabolizes) alcohol. Continued, excessive use of alcohol can damage the liver is various ways including the development of a fatty liver. A fatty liver can progress to cirrhosis of the liver, a potentially fatal condition.
-Cancer of the larynx
-Damage of the stomach and lining of the small intestine
-Alchohol taken during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome.
-Alcohol damages the liver, the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract, and the heart.

Hope I helped!
Good luck!
