What are some good techno songs?
(link)
|
I've always loved Sandstorm by DJ Scribble. It was in DDR and, despite not really diggin' the game, I loved the song.
And I believe he also made the song (the name of which I'm not certain of) Fat (or phat?) Bass. It was in one of the Blade movies.

Okay I've been doing crunches a lot to work on my stomach area but I jsut noticed that like if i look down at my stomache the uppers sides(like under my chest) go in, and the middle sticks out more down below. Is that bad? or does it mean i'm working my upper abs more than my lower?
Helpp i'm kidna freaking out.

Chances are you're just working the top muscles. But if you think it's that odd, go ask a parent or someone who plays a lot of sports or exercises a lot.
It shouldn't be anything to worry about though.

Do Nair-type products make hair grow back thicker? (link)
|
Nope. Hair body hair (other than hair on your head) doesn't grow back thicker.
But, if you're like me, my leg hair starts coming back after a day or two. So Nair, Veet or any diplitory creams don't work that well.
I go to a salon, get my legs waxed and the just shave when the little hairs come back. My legs have been hair free for 5 days now.
As for underarms, I totally suggest waxing. Salon professionals do it quick an easy. But it can be pricey depending on where you go. But your underarms look so nice. None of that "shadow" you get from dark roots and such.

A dog scratched me all over my arms and it looks like I cut myself and the scratches are really noticable and I really have to wear short sleeves or I will die out in the sun. I don't want people to think I cut what can I do to make the scratches and the burns from them go away? (link)
|
Haa haa. As I look at my arms I see the same thing. :)
Unless they are directly down the vein in your arm, I don't thin anyone will make a suicidal connection. But Neosporan (spelled wrong I'm sure) should be able to help if they are bad scratches.
But don't worry. They don't last long and anyone one who sees them and wonders will either ask and see your honesty in your answer or won't ask and in that case don't matter.

I have been having a lot of discharge lately and idk why.. I got my first period in May, actually I got it twice in May..I never got it in June, and haven't gotten it yet this month. I know your period is supposed to be irregular when you first get it. but do you think this discharge means i'll be getting it soon again? Or something else? I'm a virgin, never had sex or anything except I have masturbated before..but idk why all of a sudden I have been getting a lot of discharge. Help? (link)

Vaginal discharge ‑- a mixture of secretions and cells ‑- is not only normal, but it's also necessary to help keep the vagina clean. (In fact, it's the same as the natural lubrication you produce when you're aroused.) In general, discharge is slight right after your period, clear and stretchy right before ovulation (midmonth) and thicker and whiter during other times of the month. But no two women are exactly alike, so it's important to be aware of your standard output. Also, keep in mind that the color and consistency of discharge can be affected by other factors such as age, hormonal fluctuations, medication and infections.

I'm 16 and I have thick black hair right around my nipples. I've plucked them out once before awhile back but of course, they came back. The hair is about 1.5 to 2 inches long and its kind of embarrassing. I was wondering if this is a common thing amongst females and if it is, is it common for the hair to be thick and black? I don't even have black hair on my head, I have brown hair. Also, I have a hair line right down the middle of my breasts and I usually just shave it and of course if I don't, it will grow back and be visible. If anyone has this, how do you deal with it? Thank you. (link)
|
It's common. Just keep plucking them.
Some girls get the coarse hair around their nipples and it doens't mean anything is wrong. Dont' shave it though. It may cause in grown hairs, which can be painful.
Call a spa and see if waxing is an option. But I just shave and pluck. I have little blonde hairs down my chest and I just shave them. No biggie.

Okay, there's this Buy It Now item on Ebay, and it comes with a Slim PS2, 2 controllers, 86 games, and all of the cords and memory cards needed to make it work. It comes with everything and everything is in New condition never tooken out of the box. The Buy it now price is $210.00 and $19 shipping. Is that a good price? (link)
|
Call Game Crazy or Game Stop.
A lot of PS2 games are REALLY cheap now. Games did go for $50 a pop, but now can be bought for $5. So call your local game store (tell them in advanced that you have a long list and would like the sales price for as many games as they can give at this time) and ask them. Only give them so many though. They may be busy or just not want to go through so many games.
But most are willing to help. Just don't take advantage of them on the phone. I've had that happen to me. They said a few games and it ended with about 50. And yes, I know you have 86, but break it up. Tell them you need 20 game prices now or as many as they can give you with the time they have.
They'll be happy that you are concerned about them taking time to help you and being able to help other customers in the store.

(I'm sorry if this isn't in the right category. I didn't really know what to put it in)
Ive had my period for a little more than a year now, and I got it on sunday, and have had it for about 4 days, and yesterday it stopped. But the thing is, I got it again this morning. Do you think maybe it just wasnt finished yesterday or something? I don't think it will be more than 2 days from now that it will stop, but I'm still kind of scared that something might be wrong. thanks a ton :] (link)
|
It just got really light. Nothing should be wrong. It happens to me every so often. Once I only had mine for 3 days. I always get mine for 5 days.
It's normal. No worries.

How long do hangovers last and is there anything I can do to feel better? (link)
|
Eat something along the lines of bread (to absorb the alcohol) and drink lots of water (to flush it out of your system).
Then take some asprin for the headache, if one follows.

i have a t-mobile phone and i want to have ringtones. people buy them online but i don't know where. also whenever i see it on tv its like oh and be charged 4.99 monthly. so is there somewhere tht i could get just one ringtone for a flat rate..
thanxx (link)
|
T-Mobile.com lets you listen to the ringers before buying them.
The most money they cost is $1.99.
Games and graphics are more though. Set up your T-Mobile My Mobile account. It's a handy litte thing.
You can even pay your bill online with a debit card or credit. And it's a one time only thing, so nothing automatically debits.

17/f I've been doing about 20 situps everyday and drinking plenty of warter for the past month to try to lose weight,but for some reason after I do the 20 situps my back hurts and I feel like throwing afterwards why is this? (link)
|
Sit ups can put strian on the back.
Ever seen commercials for the Ab Pro? All the comparisons are correct.
Personally, the Ab Pro (or as my friends call it, The Taco Folder) is fantastic. It's a great stretch and uses all of your muscles.
If you have the money, look into it. It's nice and worth the cents you have to drop.
As for the sick feeling, I'm assuming it's from the strain. I could be wrong though.
And go job with drink the water. Water is so important to a healthy body.

okay i am dark brunette and im thinking i wanna go blonde. okay is that a good idea? and im going to the beach and im gonna be swimming so will that ruin it?? thanx guys (link)
|
Good idea getting it done professionally.
You can't go directly to platnium blonde, though. You have to work your way there getting lighter every time you dye.
Ask your beautician and they'll tell you the drill.

i have been working out for a few days straight.lately, my stomach has started to hurt.could this be due to working out? (link)
|
You always need to take a break.
If you work out 3 days, take the 4th day off.
When you work out, you literally rip your muscles. And they need time to recuperate.
Also, drink TONS of water.
I've heard (but also heard that this is wrong, but my mom is a marathon runner and does this, and she also trains peopel for a team) that the average person should drink a gallon of water a day without exercise. Imagine what you should drink with exercise.
All that water may make you pee a lot, but you start to look and feel better.

14|Female...For about two years ever since I found out my dad cheated on my mom...my life has been completely different, i use to feel really confident about my body but now i dont, i feel over weight and ugly (even though im 89lbs)I also have really bad trust issues now..I dont want to be like this anymore I want the old me back, My mom says the best way is for me to talk to someone about it but I cant talk to her because I know that it will upset her about the dad thing and I cant talk to my older sister because she will think im just going through some teenage stage...my mom suggested I see a therapist but i dont know if I want to or not because it just seems weird telling a stranger my feelings...and also I know they cost alot of money so I dont want to just waste money if I am going through a teenage stage but I dont think it is just a teenage stage...Im just really scared I am going to do something crazy if I dont tell people how I feel. So my question is...should I see a therapist or not? (link)
|
Go see a thearapist.
Yes, it's weird. But they are there to help you. And telling a stranger something personal is easier than tell someone you know. Well, some of the time.
As for them being expensive; you're right. Most are. But you can find a local organization that can offer you the service free or cheap. Churches, school, and sometimes doctors offices sometimes have conselors or therapists who are mroe than willing to talk with you.
They will give you the best advice on life. Trust me. My mother cheated on my father many times and I, too, have trust issues. It's hard to give any sort of advice on that. Especiialy since I've barely worked through it myself.
But seeing a thearpist will be highly beneficial for you.
Good Luck. :)

My hair is brown with blonde streaks, but i want to change it for summer, please tell me how you dye your hair with kool aid and tell me how much it works i mean how well it works , like if it gives off a realyl good color, or is really weak ...and can you dye your hair with hawaiian punch? (link)
|
You can't dye your hair with Hawiian Punch. It can brighten your already dyed hair, but that only works for certain colors. Redheads use red punch, blondes yellow and I forget what brunettes use.
As for summer hair color, ask your local beautician. Most love talking about the newest hair styles and what's going on in Europe.
I never dye my own hair. I always get it done professionally. However, some girls may not be able to afford that. But even places like Fantastic Sams or Cost Cutters can do a great job. Just make sure you know what you want. Don't be afriad to talk to a few different people to get an idea. And if you can find a picture, even better. The more you can tell your stylist, the better.
Oh, and don't forget: Stop the stylist if you don't like what she's doing. They are working for you, not against you. So if they start cutting something to short or the color isn't like the color in the picture, tell them.

where can u buy breast enhancers (NOT over the internet? (link)
|
I've read almost everywhere that there is no way to make your breast larger without surgery. (Cosmo is actually the most recent place I read it.)
The only other option, aside from surgery, is to do push ups, strengthening the muscle behind your breast. Either that, or pregnancy since the breast expand to hold breast milk.
I have a small chest, and I hated it for a long time. Eventually, I just didn't care anymore about the size. I am proportional and I'd look goofy with larger breast. I just try to accent the main features of my body. I'm 5'8", so if I'm feeling a little down about my breast size, I just make sure my long legs look good. :)
