this is completely random but why is it when you search directions on google maps the time to get there always changes. you will put the same addresses in and everything but each time i come up with a different time, its always a few minutes off but still shouldnt it be the same?

Im not 100% sure but i think things like google maps and mapquest know when there is construction and things that might make your travel time longer so that may change it. Thats my guess. If not, maybe its just a glitch or something. Computers arent always completely accurate.

whats the easiest way to get birth control pills? I live in new jersey. I was wondering if there is any way to get them for free without my parents knowing. I am 18 but i'm still living with them because I'm in high school. If i had a doctors appointment to get them and used their insurance could they find out? Or could i get them at like a planned parenthood? And which ones do you guys recommend? My primary purpose for it is birth control, but i've heard it also can do lots of other stuff that I want to take advantage of. I want to have less difficult periods, increase my cup size a little bit, and have better skin (i break out sometimes). Oh and one more thing... you have to take it at the same time every day right? What is a good time to take it? I don't want it in the morning because i have to wake up way earlier during the week than weekend and i want it to be not so noticeable when i take it. Thanks so much! sorry it was long!

I live in PA and here planned parenthood only gives them for free until your 18. once your 18 you have to pay for them. its like 30 dollars a month. Your doctor cant tell your parents because your 18 now and its doctor patient privacy but i dont know if they would know from insurance.

I have a sadness in my heart and I don't know why I cant seem to feel more positive about myself. I wanna be a great mother to my children but fear I am not strong enough to endure all. I love them more than anything in the whole world but that just isn't enough I fear. I don't want to fail them as a mother, I want to be a better person for my partner and I feel lost because I am not happy with myself so how can I make someone else happy. I feel he does not want me anymore. I feel so judged and hate it. I am tired of being so anxious about everything I want peace of mind. Sometimes I want to just live in a bubble and never leave. Why do I feel this way? What is wrong with me? What are steps to improve myself for my family.I have no insurance and unable to seek professional help so I am turning to the web for any suggestions. Thanks

Every day I wake up, I have to think about a reason why not to commit suicide. I am married with children. I love my wife and my kids, but, the only reason I havent' commited suicide, is because I feel guilty about the financial burden it would cause. I have a spinal chord disease and every day is a struggle with unbearable pain and constant medication. I feel my wife is getting tired of me and my illness. My illness has caused me to lose my job and my home, I am bankrupt, I don't have a job or an income. What do I have to live for???? I just don't know what to do or what purpose there is to my life. I really wish God could just give me the strength to do it, so that I don't continue to suffer anymore. My relationship with my wife has deteriorated to the point where she doesn't respect me and, she's probably cheating on me...I wouldn't blame her if she is....Who wants to be with a cripple??? No one does. I really need to hear the right words, so that I can just get it done!!! I don't want to live anymore, but I just don't feel like I have the stregth to go through with it. I need to find a way so that I can do it without feeling guilty. Can you tell me how, please?

Dont do it. Please. You are upset right now and cant see all the pain it would cause all the people who love you. My father tried killing himself twice over his wife. It made me feel like she was more important to him than I was and I wasnt enough to make him want to live. You dont want to do that to your kids. I know you dont. So please just read what I have to say.

God brings these tremendous struggles our way so that we can turn to him for help and live through them and become stronger people. im not trying to sound all god like but seriously, try turning to god. do you belong to a church? if you do, try going and talking to your priest, minister, rabbi, reverend or whoever it would be for your religous denomination. if you dont belong to one, find one. churches are always welcoming new members and attending might help you feel closer to god and that you truly do have a purpose.

also, i dont know if you have talked to your wife about this but if you havent, try it. she may not realize your feeling this way and when she does she can help you see how loved, wanted, and cherished you are. Go out and spend a day with your wife and kids. Think about all you wold be missing out on in their lives if you werent here. They would want you to be there. For everything.

Your right. Of course no one wants to be a cripple. But unfortunately, it happens and all you can do is make the best out of your life. Millions of people in the world are crippled, whether they are born that way, have an accident or like in your case. due to a disease. But millions of those people go on and do wonderful things. dont let that make you want to end your life.

If all else fails, talk to a therapist. Try going on medication. If you cant afford it, there are tons of free resources like hotlines, chat rooms, and even meetings. Here are some examples:

everytime i eat or drink something my lips turn red. they dont hurt or nothin but look like im wearing lip stick or have d.s.l lips lol. whats this from? does it happen to anyone else? thanks:)

yea it happens to me too and i dont know why either. im sure its nothing serious but ask your doctor out of curiousity next time you go. its probably just because of sensitive lips or skin or something like that.

i have his address and all, im just not sure how to write it out, so many numbers.
here is my example of what i have written, but its been changed of course.

TzT smith, John Rm 000
W co 1-50 infantry
9999 5th armored division rd
Building 0000 555 infantry bergade
Fort so-and-so, Gorgia
00000-0000

is this about right? should something be changed? please help

write it out just like that. yea it looks real long but thats how its supposed to be. army base addresses are like that because there are so many different people, divisions, companies and so on so they need to make it like that so they can identify the person its going to easier.

does anyone know how much blue wave vodka costs? how strong is the actual blue raspberry taste in it?

i live in PA and its about $13 a bottle. it tastes ok but if i were u i would spring like 3 or 4 more dollars and get schmirnoff or bacardi. both of them taste better than blue wave. blue wave kind of tastes like cough medicine to me.

i couldnt believe my eyes. there i am talking and laughing with my boyfriend telling him his room was a mess i start putting things back in his underwear draw but suddenly i see a bunch of papers so i start taking them out and lauging at his handwritting suddeny i see a letter all the way at the bottom all folded up real tight i open it up and there it was a letter written to an ex it said Dear evette i miss you, i miss the way you smile, i miss the way we'd talk when we'd stay up i miss hearing you snore(yeah i know) i miss your voice your eyes and talking to you , i miss you so much i really do.. those were some of the things i read i confronted him and he got so nervouse he ripped and threw the letter out the window. i felt so bad i wanted to cry. after i kept searching to see if id find something else turns out he told me he wrote the letter before he met me but how was i to believe him.i found another papper this one said dear ivette with the date august 19 2008 ... we started dating september 16 2008. that girl goes to the same school we do. and it hurt so bad.. i dont know if i shoud believe he wrote that letter on that date.it hurt so bad.why would he keep something like that? weve been together for 1 year and 7 months i found that in january after a year of being together. when i confronted him about keeping the letter he said he didnt know it was there should i believe him? after all him and that girl messed around for 2 years but he says she was nothing but a nasty girl(if u know what i mean) he tells me he hates talking about her but its funny how she brokeup with him on a summer of july and we went out on september when he met me in school..i mean maybe he was so hurt he wanted to show her he can de much better. but a guy whos trying to get back at a gir he wouldnt last with her for very long now would he? at least not 1 year and 7 months. did i mention he has 2 tattoos of me and is planning on getting a third i dont know i am so confused was i he's rebound? yet he fell in love with me? i feel hurt what should i do? hes 19 and im 16 and i do love him but im devastated.hes going to college soon and iljoin him in 1 year if all goes well i love him so much yet i am so confused please help!

i think you should believe what he says. it sounds like you have no reason not to. the letter was dated before you guys got together and maybe he didnt know it was there. it sounds like hes pretty into you. i could see how it might be hurtful to you because thats your boyfriend and you dont want to think about him loving someone else. but i would just take his word for it and leave it at that. theres no use in getting your self all worked up over something thats in the past. good luck!

Anyone Belive or know if you go to heaven and if your married or a couple and something happend one of you. You not be with that person or not be married?

well in my opinion, when you go to heaven you would still be married or with that person. i think that when you die and go to heaven, you would still be in love with the person that you were in lvoe with before you died. you wouldnt stop loving them just because you died. and you wouldnt start loving someone else in heaven. thats just my opinion tho.

do pot and cigarettes smell similar? in what way are they different scent-wise?

They smell nothing alike. Cigarettes are hard to describe but i guess kind of maybe smell more like a fire but with chemicals. Pot smells like a skunk. Not similar to each other at all.

I'm trying my hand at theater/acting. I'm getting an agent. Would getting my belly button pierced hurt my chances of making it in the acting business?

I dont see why it would. And if it did you could always let it close. But if your serious about acting, maybe you should hold off on doing it until you get an agent and ask the agent their opinion. Good Luck!

Okay so recently Ive been talking to this guy (I'm fifteen, so is he) we'll call him Mike and he's really nice and funny and sweet and sincere, you get the idea. Well for the past month or so we've just been hanging out as friends, flirting a lot, and a tiny bit of physical stuff. Well I've started to really like him. He's awesome and I think he likes me too. But see theres this like senior girl who likes him (kinda creepy, yeah) and her two friends who are also like okay buddys with me were talking to me about it. They said that Mike had sent their friend (the one that likes him) naked pictures of himself, like no pants... Ew. I asked one of Mike's really close friends/my friend if this was true and the friend said "I knew they were talking but I asked Mike and he said he never sent them." Now I think I can look at this one of two ways. 1. It's true and Mike lied to his friend, and the two girls (who said they actually saw with their own eyes the pictures) are right. or 2. The girls are making it up because they know their friend likes Mike and they know I kinda like Mike so they want to get me out of the picture... I REALLLLLY hope its option two. But I don't know what to do!!! So here are my questions; which option do you think it is, or do you think its something else? and also, what if it is true??? That is something that would really bother me... I don't know if I could look at him the same... And third... How do I deal with all of this???

Dont believe anything until you see it. You will get thru life alot easier if you dont follow "he said she said" drama. When you see it with your own eyes, thats when you start worrying about it. Until then, dont let them get to you and dont worry yourself over it.

Okay, this is going to be long and very confusing.....
so yesterday my so called "best friend" katie gave me a lecture about my boyfriend ryan that i have been going out with for a year. She told me that we, ryan and i, both need to move on. Ryan is in college and he has been for about 2 months now, i'm 16 and im a junior in high school. We both can make this long distance relationship a sucess because we see eachother every weekend. But you know, to make a relationship work and be stronger you have to fight. Well, she went off on me because i was telling her about a fight that ryan and i had. something little, meaningless, just a argument. and she went off on me saying "Laura, you need to just break up with him you guys fight way too much, the only reason why you guys are still together is because you guys are afraid you wont move on and you wont find someone new. trust me laura, i've been in the same situation". its really none of her buisness to tell me to either break up with my boyfriend or not... right?
then i went out driving with my mother and my boyfriend texted me freaking out "Laura, i make you upset all the time? you go to katie every night because you're upset? you've been mad at me ever since i left for college? Im an asshole? laura you need to talk to me, you know i'm always here for you no matter what" i couldnt answer because i was driving, i get home and i finally answer him. "Listen, i always go to katie when im upset about you either not being home or if were in an argument and i ask her how i can just get us to stop arguing... ive never called you an asshole behind your back ryan, i love you, shes bullshitting us" he replied... "then why is she telling me to break up with you?" i went apeshit. i texted her like "Really katie? you tell me to break up with my boyfriend and you didnt get your way with me then you go running to ryan telling him to break up with me? are you fucking kidding me?" and she recently cheated on her boyfriend that also goes to college (by the way katie is also a junior in highschool, 16) over the weekend. she was very drunk, but thats never an excuse. not only did she cheat once, she cheated twice in the same night, so i threatened her that i would tell her boyfriend andy that she cheated on him. she called me screaming calling me a bad friend because i promised her i wouldnt tell him or anyone. i find this not fair at all. my boyfriend got upset that someone would try to ruin our relationship and make him and i fight for the first time in a month. no relationship is perfect.
well, i ended up not telling her boyfriend, she got scared that he would hear about it before she told him so she called him explaining everything that happened. he understood and said :this better not happen ever again this is your last chance, i love you too much to let you go" so her and i were clear at that point. we were talking and videochatting like we usually do.
well around 11 at night last night, my boyfriend IMed andy (katies boyfriend) and he said "yeah well bro im sorry to tell you this but your girlfriend cheated on you saturday night with cris and justin...." and all andy said was "i know, but i didnt know about cris?" well... he called her freaking out, she only told him about justin. at about midnight i got a call from her but i ignored it, i didnt want to deal with her at the moment, i knew she was gunna scream at me for telling ryan about her cheating on andy over the weekend. well....she texted me saying "Laura, i really dont see this friendship working out, sorry, pc"
her reputation in school isnt the best, everyone hates her for no apparent reason, and everyone would tell me not to be friends with her. well now i see why...
i replied "hahaha alright katie, whatever you say, dont come running back, pc."
then she went on and on how i shouldnt of told ryan and how it was my fault that ryan went to andy and told him about the other guy and everything when i had little to no control over ryan talking to andy.

can you tell me if i was being the better person in this situation or not? this girl was my best friend and i miss her to bits and pieces but im reallly mad at her for trying to destroy my relationship with ryan.. .can you tell me why she would try to do that? maybe she was scared if andy found out if she would be single and she wanted her best friend to be single too? ahhh help me outt please.

thank you for reading and thank you in advance if you answer :)

Your best friend sucks.
You did the right thing.

Shes crying about you telling your boyfriend about her cheating on hers but none of it ever would have happened if she wouldnt have stuck her nose in your business and told your boyfriends to break up with you.

Shes a crappy friend and she will realize that in time. Till then do yourself a favor and dont associate with her.

ok so i was dating this guy and he told he was going out with his friends and i was like ok and then my friends said that they had seen his truck out side his x girlfriends house and i didnt beleive it so i said ill go and see with my own eyes and sure enough it was his truck so i was crying and he told me that it was nothin that i did he just had the urge to cheat but he really loves me now im really confused cause i dont understand why he did that if you can please help or ever better email me at 2cute4u004@sbcglobal.net

Dump him. Hes no good for you. He outright lied and disrepected you and if you allow it to continue it will. There are plenty of fish in the sea and you can do soooooooo much better than that.

Oh and him saying that he jsut had an urge to cheat is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. If you stay with this guy, prepare yourself for a world of heartbreak.

Good luck.

this guy really likes me and i don't know what to do.i dont like him but i dont want2 hurt his feelings.what should i do????

signed
desperate girl

Just be honest. He will appreciate your honesty more than he would if you just led him on. Tell him you think he is a very nice guy but you think you would be better off as friends. Hurt feelings are a part of life and they will get hurt many more times in his lifetime so dnt beat yourself up about it. Good luck!

allright, there is this girl at school that i met a couple of days ago, she thinks im mad hot and really likes me, I like her to, but see, the thing is, shes 12 and in 6th grade, im 13 in 8th grade, i dont know what people would say or do if i went out with this girl.
Confused and need help

I agree with the other guy. 8th grade and 6th grade is creepy. I know its only 2 years but when your that young its weird. Its not like your 16 and 18.. thats not as bad. But at the point your at its weird. Stick to your own age for the next 5 years.

[view]


Yeah, so there's this girl in my school, and she's so annoying and we are not friends anymore because she was just being so mean to me and all. I made new friend's and this girl wants me to be her friend again, but my friends tell me not to. What should I do?

Do what YOU want to do. If you like the girl, be friends with her. If you dont, then dont be friends with her. But dont do or not do anything because of what your friends want. Its your life and you will get much further by doing what it is that you want rather than what your friends want. Good luck!

OH MY GOSH! What kind of dog is this and how big do they get hahaha I would love it if it stayed that small, but I'm guessing it doesn't :( Does anyone know? Thanks

It is definately a pomeranian. It looks to me tho that he might be a puppy. He has kind of a puppy face. Either way, this type of dog does not get big. Maybe 5-7 pounds at the most.
