Bwahaha, I've returned.

Yeah, that'd be the same freak FunnyCide and Napalm350Z used to talk to.

I'm older now.

I'm smarter now.

Yet for some reason, I feel like coming back to this place every once and a while. Hmmmm...

I think I might have OCD. I think I might have OCD. Just making sure you know I think I might have OCD. What are some of the symptoms (did I spell symptoms right?) of OCD? What are they? (link)
Well, you start repeating yourself. Just to make this clear to you, you start repeating yourself. And, just because you like repetition so much, you start repeating yourself.


I haven't started my lawnmower since last fall. Is there anything I should do to it before I start it up again? (link)
Make sure it's full of gas. And, if need be, prime it by pressing the little button on the side.


hey i'm 13 and i'm a Christian! i would really like to know more bible verses for i'm going through so much (parents are like yea...and my friends are failing me...and i have like 2 major issues of being easily angered and jealous, i'm praying about it too) so if you know any bible verses that might help me with the above or just any good ones tell me!! thanks soooo much *i rate* (link)
I like this one, because though it's harsh, it really means a lot about being angry and jealous:

"Likewise the tongue is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."
-James 3:6

Hope that means something to you!


I'm installing a fence on my friend's property and the posts have to be rammed into the ground with a tool that wears your hands out. Is there anything I could do to keep from getting horrible blisters? (link)
Sure, wear gloves that are soft inside, and that fit well and don't move around much when you ram into the ground. As for the person posting this... Have fun ramming posts into the ground tomorrow.



Arkansas?


Hey everyone, I was wondering about warts. i have two bubbly-like things, one on my ankle, one on my knee. I'm mostly likely sure they're warts, I can't go to get them checked out. DOn't ask. But I but this thing, it was like 20+ dollars, like the most expensive wart remover thing there was on the shelf, it was supposed to freeze the wart off, but it hasn't been working. Anyone have any experinces with warts or know any information on how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance. I rate well. =) (link)
It'll sound stupid, and you can rate me down if you want, but putting a small peice of duct tape on a wart has been known to help a lot of people lose warts. Yes, you heard that right, duct tape.


im nice and a sweet guy and all, but i tend to get real mad about little things. i punch holes in my walls and break all kinds of stuff in my room and i even put my head through a window once over a real dumb reason. so what i wanna kno is if i should look sumthin up to calm my anger or to get anger management? (after all im only 14) i just want to stop myself before i end up doin sumthin crazy (link)
Ever gone to church or read the Bible? I'm not going to get sarcastic with it and all, but trust me, if you really know who Jesus really is, you won't have to manage your anger, you might not even really have it that often. But otherwise, focus your attention on other things, and don't do something stupid over something relatively small.


Ok there is this kid at my school and he likes me but he is just EW!Well he always tells his friends all theese stuff like I want to touch her ass and all and his friend tells me.Well I have told him over and over that I dont like him or get lost and all I started out rejecting him really nicly and all I didnt want to hurt his feeling but now I just cant help to be mean.. He is really nice and all but he is ugly and to nasty for me he alway can find 1 word and turn it into something sexaul (link)
Understandable that you'd hate him. If he's a pervert, ignore him and don't even say anything to him even if he starts in on it. Maybe he'll really get the message then.... Just don't say a thing at all to him and never respond to his perverted antics. That should get him off yoru back.


so im going to this party soon..any ideas on how to spice things up with a guy friend of mine without getting turned down? like little hints for him to hook up with me? (link)
It would help if by "spicing it up" you meant that you wanted sex or just a date.... But since I'm the Christian guy, I'll assume the latter. If you want a date with the guy, just tell him, even if he's shocked, he should get the message and if he likes you the least little bit, he should understand and accept, and you can work things from there, I don't really know what to say about later on. As for the former, I'd advise you don't have sex until you're married. But as I said, I'll stick with the assumption that you want a date.


Hey! I my classmates make fun of me and talk behind my back cause of my weight limit i mean i am a little over weight and i try to keep in shape. Why is everyone so mean to me? I never do anything mean to them? I dont get it? why do kids have to be so mean. (link)
A lot of times kids like that want to make fun of other people's problems because, in turn, they probably get made fun of because of other problems they have themselves. Of course, they don't realize that what they're doing is hurting the other person just as much as it hurts them. Just take it like it is and move on, I wouldn't set them as an example to pattern my life after and leave it at that.


I really want a boyfriend.All the boys say how ugly I am and that they'd never go out with me! I have brown hair and blonde highlights, brown eyes, a few light freckles, I guess you could say I'm thin, why don't boys like me?? there are girls at my school who look just like what I described and the boys go NUTS for them. It's because they're cheerleaders. I don't want to be a cheerleader, but i want a bf. Should I become a cheerleader?? Can anyone tell me why boys hate me???? I'm not mean to them at all!!!
(link)
You shouldn't be concerned about your looks as far as getting a boyfriend, only shallow guys look for the bared-skin and thin-bodied cheerleaders. One day you'll find someone who likes you for simply being you, and that's who you'll need to go out with, not a bunch of losers who are only looking for the "popular" girls.


I have many friends that live in Belleville, Illinois. They all miss me when I am in St. Louis, Missouri. I go to Belleville with my best friends father and all of us are really close. I go there maybe 1 to 2 days every week. Maybe every other week. Should I leave my friendships behind over in Belleville? I hate missing them so much and I have went out with a couple of them. And of course I still have major feelings for a few of them. I want to forget the past and go on with the future. Hard part is that I dont know if I want all of them in my future.Can you help? (link)
No, that would be wrong to leave friendships behind you, that wouldn't be being a friend yourself. If you must, communicate by e-mail, letter, Instant Messanger, whatever.... But try to keep a friendship going, you're only hurting yourself by dropping them, unless they are bad influences in your life, then by all means, stop being with them. But if they're good people that you want to keep in touch with, by all means, find a way to do so.


here's my problem..i've had this HUGE crush (i dont even like calling it a crush, i think i love him..but no one thinks it's possible so whatever..)anyway, ive had this huge crush on a guy fro about 8 years (i've known him all my life) but we're not really tight friends. (thats not my problem) The thing is, i've never tried to hit on the guy or anything cuz i wanted to respect his GF and all..They've been together 7 years (since 4th grade)and during all this time i've liked him..and i know he really loves her, but they just broke up 3 weeks ago, im gonna let him get over her cuz i know he needs time (c'mon it wa 7 years!!) but then after that? will i ever be able to replave his first love, his gf of 7 years? its gonna be terrible he's gonna be comparing me with her..and i cant compete with her and what they had. What am i going to do? When he first gottogether with her i decided to get over him..and i've been trying ever since..but it didnt work =( seven years later, here i am, still in love with him..so please dont tell me to get ver him! it wont work..please help me, please!! (link)
If you love him and all, and you're willing to show him love back and give him the best you can, and he accepts that even though you can't compete, great! If he doesn't, well then he's too shallow and it probably would never work out. Give it a shot, let him get over her then make a move and see what he does.... A quote from MFS once: "Love is a two-way street." You can't just go on without giving and loving someone else just because you want love back, it never works. And it does just the opposite - if you love him, and he doesn't love you, well then too bad for you, you can't just keep trying to get it back. So go on, give it a shot; if it works, Alright! Have fun with your boyfriend and the best of luck to the new couple. If it doesn't, well, good luck next time. But always just move on when someone doesn't work out for you.


Okay, so I'm 14 and I RALLY like this guy on my bus, he's 18 though. He told my friend that he thought I was hot, and I mean he is SAWWOOOONNN!!! I haven't talked to him much, but should I even bother? I mean, I doubt we'd go out, too much of an age difference but should I try to get to know him and stuff? HES SOOO HOT!!! (link)
Too much of an age difference, and it's also a matter of maturity. He's probably a lot more mature than you are (not calling you stupid by any stretch of the imagination, just as far as all that stuff). Besides, you're going on the fact that he's very attractive. Is it worth it going after people just because they're attractive? Not really, considering he could be the biggest jerk on earth, but you don't know that. Pick the person you want to spend your time with wisely - A good friend is always a good choice, or at least someone you know that sets good standards. You can get to know him if you want to, he's bound to blow you off because of your age, but being friends with someone who's a lot older is cool, I just wouldn't hold my breath for a relationship.


I am finding i am getting more and more friends, but i have some very close friends in two different groups, and once group hates the other and the other dosent like some of the people in the other, but not all. one of the groups is "popular" and the other has a pretty low status, but that dosent really matter to me.Both of the groups only wants me to hang out with them, and refuse to get along... i feel like i fit in with the "popular" group more, but i still love everyone in the other group! one of my friends has had this happen to her and she likes the "popular" group better,(her name is haley) and wants me to join her... i wont leave my best friends tho (twins) and the group only mite accept one of them, according to haley...
PLEASE HELP!
(link)
Maybe you could use this to your advantage and bring this to their attention... Nobody deserves to be in an "Unpopular" group and nobody deserves to live in a "Popular" group (er, a popular group that looks down on everybody else. That's sad.). Maybe you could bring the two together, personally I'd go for the "Unpopular" group since I don't want to be "Popular" (though I can be if I want to) myself. Just do what feels right, if you really like your best friends best, you'd take their side. As for "Haley," if she's too low to accept that you want to be with your best friends, too bad for her, she'll have to do without you until she realizes her fault. Of course, maybe she isn't that way, I dunno; but do what feels right.


Okey, my friend told me to ask this question. She has been shaving her mustach for about a year now..and it looks really bad!! what can she do? she cant wax because she gets rashes and for some reason it doesnt even work..and she cant tweez because there's too much hair. And she cant colour cuz it still shows..any suggestions? (link)
I'm not completely sure, but maybe a dermatologist can really help you out in that area better. She'll just need to keep shaving, and hope for the best. But I'm sure that there must be some sort of medication for this, and I'm confident it will work. Just ask a doctor about this and see what kind of doctor she'll need to see to get it treated.


my friend is depressed. she always tells me her problems and itold her to get therapy bcuz it helps and ive been through it. but after i tell her this she always says "see thats why i cant count on you. you never help me with my problems" she always makes me feel so guilty. How can i help her? (link)
You are helping her with her problems. If she'd listen and understand, she would see that looking at the bright side of things actually does help. But it's probably just a stage of depression that she's in where she's somewhat narrow-minded, only thinking of things that are bad, and she just wants someone to feel pain too just so someone "understands" her. Don't feel guilty - You're only trying to help, and she should soon see. If she doesn't, well then that's the best you can do. If she dwells on her problems and you go along with it and talk all about her problems, she'll soon find herself even more sub-conciously depressed. Next time you have a chance, just take her out somewhere, do something fun, just to get it out of her mind. And if she brings it up, just tell her that you don't want her to be thinkin' about all her problems and that you want her to just go through the day and have a good time. Try that and see what happens, maybe soon she'll come to realize that she's not the only one with problems and that someone else has much worse problems than she does.


Ok well I was the one who asked the question about my boyfriend got shot and is now in a coma and might die! Well he did die! I slit my wrist one night I cry my self to sleep every night And I hate my life I used to be a prep but now I have gone goth I guess skipping classes and crying! I went to his funerl and saw him in his casket I just broke down right then and there I fell down on the ground and cried I refused to get up for about an hour and I went bye him like you all said and spent his last hours alive with him but it wasnt good enough he still died. I left the funeral and just went to his house (his parents were at the funeral) and went in his room and cried I swear I smelled him and saw him for 2sec then I just cried! What will I do? (link)
Don't go gothic on everyone, here, I know it's hard, like every death is. I know I may get myself into trouble saying these type things, but go to church and read a Bible.... Because Jesus loves you more than you loved your boyfriend and He'd be in more pain than you are if you died without knowing him. Just take it easy, don't cut yourself, and see how it works out that way. Maybe this is His way of showing you that you need Him.


i have the worst time getting up in the morning. I fall asleep around ten and TRY to wake up at 6:30. my alarm will go off, ill wake up, but then i go back to sleep till 7:15 and miss the bus. Can anybody help me wake up better in the morning? (link)
You just have to force yourself to do it for a while, then it will become natural (or at least it works for me).


Tonight I'm going with a few friends to see a scary movie. My boyfriend is going to try to come behind his parents back to go with me. This one guy that I know who really really likes me is also going, and I kinda like him. What should I do because I'd rather cuddle with my guy friend than my boyfriend. Help!! (link)
If he goes behind his parents back, get rid of him. That's not exactly an example of high morals. If you want a guy who'll stay with you, get a guy who'll obey his parents. If he doesn't obey his parents, what's to say he isn't going to cheat on you? I know that's an assumption, just food for thought on your part. If your "guy friend" has a better standard of morals (which is largely ignored in this country) than your boyfriend, go for him. But let your boyfriend down easy, don't just walk up and say "I hate you" then walk off.


hey i was woundring if theyre is anythingi can do to stop popping my knuckles , its just a habbit , i dont it all the time , and what dose it to to your hands? (link)
It's bad if your in some quiet place and start popping your knuckles, but the common misconception is that popping knuckles makes your knuckles larger. This is simply not true. It has little effect on your knuckles other than loosening them up a bit. If you do want to stop it, it will just have to take thinking about it and stopping whenever you do start it. There's not really many good ways to help that I know, but that's what it does to your hands.
