advice

Your advice is really good. But I find your column really hard to read. May I suggest a darker green text color?


I'll ask you a question here too, so we don't get in trouble for "chatting". Where did you get the sunglasses you're wearing in your default picture? They're cute =]

So I went to a pageant for my friend yesterday, and I don't know what it is but it felt like a calling for me, I want to compete next year. If you know anything or have been in one can you tell me what kind of things I need to work on, and what kind of styles I need to look into, because the categories are casual wear, and formal attire.

well i have been in pageants for about 3 or 4 years now and its hard to get it at first. BUT! you really want to work on your poise....stand straight and act tall, smile, not oo fake but not too weak. be a little bubley but not too bubley, and when you walk, walk with poise as i said, and a smile, like i also said, and practice walking like you gliding, like you flying almost, but of course your still walking.


as for styles, wear something thats cute and stylish, but not to showy, let your outfits show who you are, your style, etc. Let it also show you deserve to win.

I'm notr intirely sure what its called, but you know when you do project, and you need to print out like a page on the computer, and like people make the words and stuff, like in cool pretty colors. like they have something special to do it & stuff. yeah.. well i want something that i can like maybe download off line, to get, so I can do that.

Its called word art, as you probably saw, and its comes with any microsoft applications, WORD, POWERPOINT, EXEL, etc. its an 'A' that is bold and kind of tilted to the side. it is most of the time in blue, but you may be able to download powerpoint, if you dont have it, off the internet, and then that will give you word art.

Has anyone used any Neutrogena facial product or products and has it made things better for them or worse?

Please tell me which product(s) you used and your type of skin (oily, dry, normal or combination). I've oily skin and I want to know whether or not it will work on my type of skin.

Experiences please =).

Thanks.

well i have a tendesey to have acne and oily skin, and when i first started, i used neutrogena oil free acne was foam cleanser. I have to say it works ANAZINGILY, and it works the best, in my opinion out of all the neutrogena, and otehr products. IT realll helps, so does the cream cleanser, wait a minute, they ALL WORK!!


its an amazing line of products that work really well, and if anypimples show up use the on the spot acne cream.

I suggest you use it!

ok this is probably the most ambaressing question i've ever asked. but my vagina was itching for a while , so i kinda scratched very often. and now it doesn't itch anymore but that part ist really "worn out" like it's just hanging down there. it's really pissing me of! i don't even wanna have sex now since my vagina looks really weird now.
SO IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT????

well i mean this happens to everyone, and as embarrising as it is, iveha this too, not the sex part, but something like it. I decided to consult my doctor becasue even when it stoped it kind of felt weird[[and looked werd]] he perscribed me a cream which helped me sooo much. I also had a weird bump on it once, that went away but i looked''worn out'' as well, i didnt really know what to do so i just let it be, and about a weeks or two later it was fine, my advice consult your odcotr, and if he or she says that you cant do anything, maybe lay off the sex. Or just conitnue with it, becasue nothing is wrong with it. It rellly is kind of worn out from you scratching it so often, i know the feeling and look. But it takes time, so be patient.

Hope it helped

Hi, im 12, and theres this boy i really like. His name is Brian. He doesnt even notice me, or talk to me. I really want to make him notice me, but without trying too hard that he gets suspicious. I mean, my friend doesnt like him, but knows that I do, and flirts with him a lot. Its really annoying.... how do i get noticed, and make my friend stop flirting?


lonley...

well, its seems that this freind wont stop flirting, u cant just tell someone to STOP! its kinda odd, and rude, no matter how much it annoys you.

One way you can get him to notice you is to bump him in the halls, or just ask a random question to him. I do it all the time.


You can also act like the dominator. [[hes younger??]] well you can always just dominate and maybe be like at lunch, he and then push him over, and act superior, or bringup sumthing really stupid, thats also a convo starter.

Maybe call him a first grade insult, that noramlly gets guys all, wtf??? and i know this is my personallity, but maybe treat him like a little brother, and like call him hun, or blow kisses[[to everyone, becasue you dnt want to seem to flirty]]

my skin is clear and once in a while i'll get a few pimples. but i was just wondering what was a good face wash that will keep my skin clear and healthy. thanks!

well for most people it depends, some people use proactive and it works, and some use it and it doesnt. you really should try a few before just setteling on one. I DNT have clear skin, but it goes away. I normally use neutragena oil free acne wash[[ive tried them all, the foaming soap works best]]. other brands like clearasil work too, but like i said, before you go and buy a lot, try a few out becasue your skin may be different than other peoples

One of my best friends and I are going to Kings Island for a school field trip. Kings Island is known for its roller coasters... and she doesn't want to go on them because she is scared. She's been on ( http://kiextreme.com/coasters.php ) Top Gun, Runaway Reptar, The Beastie, Adventure Express and the Italian Job. She's just afraid to go on other, faster rides that have big hills and go upside down. Now I don't want to go to a park full of roller coasters and not go on any of the main attractions. I've been afraid of the rides shes been afraid of (but about 4 years ago) and I overcome my fears (though with my dad). Any tips on how to help her overcome her fear and get her on the ride?

well, first of all shes your friend, but you cant let her get in the way of having fun. let her know that in the begining. try to convince her to go on one of the smaller rides, see how she feels about it. if she enjoys it thats all it takes. but if she really doesnt like it, theres not much you can do.

Does it show that you're "idle" if you use AIM express? If so, is there a way to turn off being idle?


Thanks.

it normally shows if your idle, most of the time it might not on your computer, but it does show it. You cant really turn it off, you just have to start up a conversation with someone, or do something to signify your being there.

We're now better off than before, but her parents are very against our relationship. To tell you the truth, they are the only hurdle left in this race, and it seems impossible to overcome them. Her parents don't allow her to see me or go out with me or whatsoever. What am i to do? I'm prepared to wait for her to get out of her parents grasps. Yea, i'm a teenager, 19 years old, this year. So is she.

your BOTH old enough to make your own descisions. she does have to respect her parents, and if shes living with them she should, but she really can make up her own mind....let her know by phone, and see what she says...any more questions on this ask me personally.

HI, I'm not fat, my stomach is just a little chubby. If I cut back on sweets and drink more water and do at least 100 push ups a day and run at least 10 minutes around a track, will my stomach be flatter in 2 weeks?

pushupd are for your arms, and running is more for you legs. try to do ab exercises, like crunches, and bycicles, acordians, or other things that help you abs. try about 40-50 of each a day, maybe twice, with about a minute rest in between. cutting back on sweets is always good, but wont neccisarliy make you skinny, its good and may help, but if your stomach is the problem ab works is the best bet. and drinking water is fine but also drink milk, fruit juices, and stay away from sodas INCLUDING diet, which are normally worse when it comes to sugars, try to eat healthy with good portions....and trust me, i run track! plus ive beeen doing this for about a month or two, and its really helped, so two weeks isnt enough to me. try maybe a month and see you progress, each week you should be able to see the difference, and if no difference, keep trying.

im new at my school, and i mean yano its great. EXCEPT this one girl. i really really really liked her in the beginning, like me and her could tottaly of been the best of friends. but, shes like really mean. as im finding out. like example today, i forgot my lunch money, i never ever do that, and always have atleast 10 dollars on me, so, today i was like, can i just borrow like 2 or 3 dollars? and ill promise ill pay you back. and shes like wellll, this is my lunch money for the week. [she gets like 20 dollars] and im like, ill pay you back tmrw, i promise. shes like well you might forget or something. and making these lame excuses. and i was like so mad. so i didnt even get to eat lunch. and i ended up passing out in like my study hall later that day. i was so mad. because i skip breakfast. i dont like it, i never will like it. and i can go usually just fine intill lunch.

so yeah. im still pretty mad. because the whole passing out thing, was pretty freaking embarrassing. and i mean, i saw she had a ton of money. she couldve spared me a couple of dollars. and its not that shes poor or anything, she lives in like the 2nd nicest development in my town. and i live in a really really rich place. and she gets her nails done every week and everything. so its not that shes poor. and she cant possibly think, that i wouldnt pay her back, since i live in a million dollar home + i needed 40 cents one day, and i asked the other girl at my table, and she said sure. and i paid her back the next day.

so shes obviously just selfish. or whatever.
how do i fix this?
we cant switch lunch tables..

and she was even telling me about her boyfriend in highschool [were in middle school, 8th.] and all she talks about is him, and how she says she finds it funny to hurt his feelings and show that she has the power?!!!!

like what the heck. yeah. I NEED YOUR HELP.
what do i do!?!?!?

well it was real rude of her not to spare you some money.. but dnt throw mayo on her shirt, thats no way to solve things. first of all you should at least eat a litttle breakfast, i hate it too, but i eat it.


a lot of people are like that, they dont liket o give people money. you might have to deal with her.

as for talking to her boyfriend, you maybe need to confront her, but do it kinda in a sutle but bitchy way to show her thats she was being a btich for not giving you 3 dollars thentelling ehr boyfriend about you.....

dont resort to the mayo, but proove a point, but if she asks you for money, give it to her, to show her your a better person and not a bitch!

how exactly do you grind, and get agirl togrind with you

to grind get up close to the girl, and just move you hips/sway your hips in a kinda sexual way, and do what ever with your hands, hold her around the waist, or hold her hand and guide her.


if your hott most girls will grind with yuo if you just go up behind them, you might get rejected but ya know. you can also tap on the girls shoulder to kinda ask her politely..right before you grind..hhaaa

In fitness magazines, I always see these women with this like on their abs. Ive been working on my abs alot lately and i just cant seem to get that line. Does anyone know what kind of workout your supposed to do to get it?

well i know i have to work out for track on my abbs, and there rock hard, and i dont have that line, but i do have that foof, the little rased bump in the middle of your stomach/abbs. but i do kind of have the line.

a few work outs are the acordian,crunches, leg lifts, leg push ups, bicycle, and one other i cant quite find the name.

the acoridan is basically this....

when you you lay on the floor, legs and arms in an I position, then you srunch up, but not totally, just to where your abbs hurt. do about 25 then rest then another 25.

we all know crunches, and leg lifts is when u are on the ground as an I arms at the side, and lift your legs about 6 inches off the ground for 10 seconds, do that a few times

for leg push ups, you need a partner, lie down and hold onto his or her ankles while she or he pushes your legs down[[in front and to the sides]] but you feet cant touch the ground.

the one i dnt know tha name of, you get ina push up position[[perfect position]] and instead of you arms out to the side put the together in front of you face, and hold it there for about 30 seonds....

do all of these for about a month or two, or maybe more...all the while you should run about 3-4 miles a week, this may also help you abs. it worked for me

hope i helped
