Hey all..

I'm going to Six Flags tomorrow in Springfield, mass
Does anyone have some suggestions for rides or anything??
I don't wanna wait in a long line for a ride that wasn't worth it
so...
Best rides?
Worst rides?
Any info
oh yea... and does the old man really go around the park??
he's cool lol

Thx!!!

Six Flags has really great rides. Since everyone has different opinions, I would suggest going to the website & going on a Virtual Tour.

http://www.sixflags.com/national/index.aspx

Go to their website & go to the 'Rides' tab. From there, you can pick either Thrill rides, Family rides, or Water rides. After clicking one of those options, you can go to a park & check out all of the rides. There you can see what you may or may not be willing to go on.

Someone was using my computer user the account the other day and did something to it, but I do not really know what.

Now when I am booting the computer, at the select user account screen, there is a little message below my name that says I have 5 New mail messages. I have no new emails on my email adress account, so I guess it is for the guy that was using my computer.

So here is my question. How do I remove that sign?

(I use a pc with XP)

The message is there because the user who went onto your account must have signed into their email instead of yours. Check your email again. The 'mail message' that comes up on the log in screen is from your Outlook Express email, not any other email service. If he/she did not use Outlook while on your account, then its for your email. It doesn't really matter though. Try deleting any new mail messages in your Outlook Express & make sure to check the spam folder in it also. It could be stored in different folders other than your inbox or could be in your deleted items. Make sure everything you want is either read or deleted & then restart your computer. You may want to empty your recycle bin also.

Okay, is wearing a cut-out swimsuit as a top with jeans completely tacky and unacceptable haha?

I like the look of it but I know it looks a bit slutty but I'm not sure if it's TOO slutty haha, I wouldn't be wearing it to a club or anywhere, just to be around.

I personally think it looks tacky, but if you're into it, wear it. You shouldn't really be concerned about what other's think. If you like it, then you should wear what you want. It's just not in style.

alright so i have my period and my boyfriend wants to have sex, and cum inside me what is the chances of pregnancy if we do this?

There is always a chance of pregnancy with sex. You can get pregnant if you have your period & you can get pregnant if you don't have your period. It doesn't really matter. There is always a chance. If you still want to have sex & feel its the right thing to do, make sure you use protection. There isn't a specific percentage. Its most likely always 50/50.

Sorry if this is long, but i need to explain some things before i ask the question...

So, here's the story. Me and my boyfriend, now ex, were going out for 4 months. Yet, he was just a real jerk to me sometimes. He treated me like i was just his normal friend. He wouldn't come pick me up or ask me if i needed rides to places. He asked me a couple of times to pay for things, and he would never start conversations. He would do things just to annoy me and at times, he was just plain mean. At first i wanted things to work so i told him a few times he had to change the way he acted, and the first time he said he couldn't change, and the rest he said he'd try but i never really saw a change. I was just fed up and gave up. Anyway, we're not together anymore, but he was my first boyfriend and I'm just scared that this relationship hurt me because now i don't have a great outlook on guys. I want to date again, but i want a good boy who treats me like the center of his world.

Is how my ex acted how all guys act? Or are there some out there that are better? Can anyone give me any hope for the future?!

Thanks! and sorry this was soo long =)

I think that should be a standard equation that should be used in text books. ex bf = jerk. Why? There are 1000 of girls out there [guys too] that feel the same as you. No, not all guys are jerks. Actually, many guys aren't. You just need to find your type. Go on dates & give them a chance. The best boyfriends are guys that were your friend ahead of time. Dating random guys you don't know can lead you into dating jerks. Get to them first & then decide. One bad ex bf shouldn't affect your future dating. Just watch & see who you fall for. Get to know them before jumping into a relationship.

14/f 102

I can't lose weight. No matter how hard I try. I want to lose maybe 10 lbs and even when I only eat 1000 calories, I don't lose any weight what-so-ever. The only way I lose weight is by eating 400 or less calories and that's just not enough food. I don't understand why some people can eat 2x what I eat and weigh less than me. Is there anything I can do to lose weight and not be eating less than 400 calories?! thank you.

You only weigh 102 lbs. That's probably why you are having trouble losing weight. The less you way, the less calories you burn in most cases. 400 calories is not enough to even function for the day. You can go up to 1200 calories & still lose weight, as long as they are good calories. There are a difference between good calories & bad calories. For example, lets say there is two people who weigh 110 lbs. Both people have a meal that is worth 500 calories. Person 1 has pizza, fries, & a coke while person 2 has fish, corn, salad, a baked potato, & a lemonade. Obviously, person 2 has the healthier meal, even though they are both worth 500 calories [not really, just saying for this situation]. Person 1 has much more grams of fat in their meal compared to person 2's meal. See the difference?? Don't be so concerned about how many calories you actually intake. Just be concerned how many of those calories are good calories. It would be better to eat 1500 calories a day filled with cereal, oatmeal, fruits & veggies, salads, fish, meat, pasta etc. rather than eating 1000 calories a day of pizza, chips, cake, & cookies. 10 lbs is not a huge amount of weight, but will be a lot more difficult for you since you only weigh 102 lbs, which is barely anything. Here's a website-

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

Fill in all of your information & it will give you an idea on how many calories you should intake daily. Drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated & exercise a few times a week. Make sure you don't skip meals & if you're hungry, eat. Don't let yourself starve. Just have a bite of fruit & veggies or crackers.

alright so me and my boyfriend have been dating about like 6 months and we wanna move up a step. he wants to finger me which im fine with..but my only problem is the whole discharge factor...i get it alott. and i dont want him to be all like eww..so is there anyway i could get rid of it before it happens. thanks in advance (:

No, you most likely can't. Even if you made sure you were clean & stuff before he did, it will most likely keep going while he's doing it. He shouldn't be grossed out. It's a girl thing & basically happens to everyone. It would probably be extremely uncomfortable if there wasn't anything. Just make sure you have good underwear on.

i like junk food too much to lose weight for long =[ i always eat way too much in a day. but i want to lose weight so bad. especially from my face. TIPS PLEASE.

To lose weight, you need to be committed to diet & exercise & be focused. Obviously you aren't, because you say that you want to lose weight, but don't have the power to. This doesn't mean you will always be that way. Right now you are just more interested in the taste of the junk food, rather than your weight or your nutrition. You can get over that though. After the food passes your taste buds, that is when it becomes important. Why would you want to put fat & empty calories in your body?? It doesn't help your health & doesn't give you the nutrition you need to keep your energy up. I'm not saying you can't eat any junk food, but junk food should not be an every day thing. Once in awhile is fine. You're allowed to indulge a little. A lot of junk food is not good for your health & you will gain weight from it eventually. To lose weight, you need to stay focused & realize that once your food passes your tastebuds, that's when it counts. You probably would much rather eat things that taste good, but it isn't necessarily helping your nutrition & giving you energy you need throughout the day to remain healthy. If you're focus & determined, you can lose weight. Also, exercising is important. Try running/walking a few times a week. To not eat as much during the day, watch your calorie intake. Here's a website-

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

Just fill in your information & it will give you an idea on how many calories you need daily.

today i was working out at the gym...i had done some weights and i got onto the tredmil to run and i started to walk at a brisk pace and the left side of my chest felt like it siezed up and i dont know if it was a muscle twitich but it looked like i could see my heart on the side of my chest and it as beating like crazy and i felt like i was going to pass out and my let arm went numb and my hand cramped up...i rested for quite a bit ,sat down and then had some water and went outside and got some air....it i am still feeling kind of faint and my hand is still cramping and my chest feels like if i breath to hard or in to much ( like a deep breath) it will do this again?? any ideas what this could be?/

None of us are doctors here & those symptoms seem serious. I would suggest going to the cardiologist. You probably should have went to the ER to get checked out. Those symptoms most likely deal with your heart & blood pressure. Obviously you were exercising, so you could've pushed yourself too far. You should take a break from exercising until you go see a doctor. If you really want to exercise, maybe do light jogging or walk at a brisk pace. You should probably avoid weights for a few days, just until you know what happened. If you feel any worse, you should go to the ER though. Those symptoms are not ones you leave alone & not get checked out. It seems like you just over-did it.

is hookah bad for you? I smoke it every week.

"Research suggests that a session of hookah tobacco smoking (tobacco molasses) which lasts 45 minutes delivers 36 times more tar, 15 times more carbon monoxide and 70% more nicotine than a single cigarette".

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hookah/AN01265

That should give you a general idea.

what does hugs means to you when you hugging your friends?
and whats the diffrence and meaning between friends giving you regular hug and friends giving you tight hug and they lift you up?

Interesting question. I think it all depends on the person. Sometimes hugs are just casual between friends, nothing more. Sometimes they are a sign of flirting. It really depends on the person, their feelings, how they act around you, & their personality.

i cant stand highschool anymore im in 11th grade and i would do absolutley anything to leave.. i was thinking maybe of doing a foriegn exchange program for 11th grade .. is that possible?? if so can someone give me the info on it??

idk why but 10th grade was impossible for me i had too many nerve problems with my stomach and stuff it was bad.. caused me to start cutting classes and never going to school. dont get me wrong i was once a straight a studen im smart.. i just cant apply myself when theres things standing in my way and distracting me.. im really scared for 11th grade cause i know for a fact im going to do bad with my nerve problems.. i want to do something like get homeschooled or go away to another country or something just so that i can have a change and not have these nerve problems its been really bad and i think if i had to go through it again for another school year ill end up dead.. you have no idea what ive been through this year.

someone help me please its august and im like crying everyday thinking im one step closer to school

First of all, you should really relax. School is stressful, but it shouldn't affect your whole life. Its summer. You need to forget about it & enjoy yourself. You may be going through a few problems, but you only have 2 more years of high school to go. Do you want to go to college? If so, you need to just deal with all of the stress & your problems & work through it. For the exchange programs, I think you have to be a senior only. I haven't heard of juniors being apart of the program. If you want, you can go to your school's guidance counsler & talk to them about it. They will have any extra information on it you need. If you can't join the program in 11th grade, you can still get information about it for your senior year. Homeschooling is also a definite option. You have to be sure you want to do it though. You won't be able to see your friends as much & would be home a lot obviously. Your parents would have to call the school & ask for homeschooling information. Every state is different, so it would be the best option to check with your school. They could also give you a list of tutors. If changing schools isn't an option, you should arrange a meeting with your guidance counsler anyway. They can help you with any problems you may be having. That's their job. It could be very helpful. Good luck!

i am so confused. i have this friend hes a boy. i am 15/f. i know i have time before i can find my true love but still. liek when im just friends with this boy i have so much fun and i just like like him soooo much. everytime. but when i date him i cant stand him. please help.

You basically answered your own question. When you date him, you can't stand him? Obviously then he isn't your "true love", at least not now anyway. There's nothing wrong with you guys being friends. If you like him more as a friend, keep it as that. He probably just isn't your type to date.

My Best friend recently joined advicenators.com. She's an awesome person and devotes her life to helping others, but the only one she really needs to be helping is herself. She has so many problems to be 17. well i guess if your going to help me help her your going to need to know everything. She's anorexic. She only weighs 97lbs and she's 5in. 5ft. obviously that's not healthy. But she claims not to be anorexic. She says she doesn't eat when she's stressed out and she's alwasys stressed out.What should i do?

Having an eating disorder myself, I would suggest you talking to her about it. Don't confront her saying she has a disorder. Anorexia is a mental issue just as much as a physical issue. Just because she weighs 97 lbs, does not mean she has Anorexia per se. I would ask her & explain how you concerned you are. You might even want to talk to her family/friends, just letting them know you're worried. Don't force it upon her though. People who have eating disorders can most likely deal with their own issues themselves or need to be seen by a doctor. Keep an eye on her eating habits & go to someone close to her if you are still worried. She really needs a friend right now.

my docotor put me on the pill but honestly i'd rather have the rash over this sore throat it hurts so bad. he put me on the pill though its 500mg.

Then stick with the medicine. It really clears a sore throat.

he just put me on the amoxicilon tonight.. because literally nothing is helping me ive been on antiboiotics painkillers, you name it.. ive even lost weight because i cant eat. what does the rash look like, and does it itch or what? because im paranoyed

Oh yikes. Okay the reaction does not occur with anyone, but I rarely get any allergic reactions & I got it. I took the medicine 3 times a day for a week & around the 6th day of taking it & got a nasty rash. It's pretty small, but very visible & itches really bad. It spreads also, so if you do get it, try not to scratch it. I would call your doctor tomorrow & ask. Are you taking a liquid or a pill? I took the liquid which was pink & kind of tasted like bubble gum. Don't stress out over it though. Doctors know what they're doing. If you do get a rash, you should stop taking it & call them. It isn't harmful, just extremely irritating. Amoxicilian cleared up my sore throat in 2 days though. Here's a website-

http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/pa/pa_ampirash_hhg.htm

You may want to keep taking it even if you do get a rash. Obviously call your doctor. The rash wasn't as bad as the sore throat, but still annoying. It really cleared up my sore throat though. You can also google it for images if you'd like, but just listen to your doctor.

so u dont think the amoxicilion is a good idea? my throat is just getting worse i dont know what to do, he put me on zithromax but it didnt help and he put me on tylenol and codine to help the pain and nothing is helping.

Amoxicilian reacts with the mono. Originally, the doctors thought I had strep & they put me on it. It turned out that I have mono, not strep, & an allergic reaction occurs when you take Amoxicilian while having mono, causing a horrid rash. It was literally head to toe & spread all over. So definitely avoid it. Did you try all the sore throat remedies? Gargling with salt water? Eating hot/cold foods? Using throat drops? I would suggest going to the doctor after the 14 days if it persists.

Where can I get a good branch of skinny jeans that arn't too expensive?
I checked Forever 21, but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

14/f

American Eagle has good skinny jeans. They are somewhat expensive sometimes, but usually they have a lot of good sales. They range from $20-$60 usually, but obviously you should go for the $20 jeans which isn't too bad. You should also try stores such as Weathervane, Macys, JC Penney, Urban Behavior, Pac Sun [a bit more expensive, probably $25 and up], Delias, Alloy, etc. Alloy is actually a magazine, but they have really cute skinny jeans & you can check them out online-

www.alloy.com

If you don't like buying offline, all of the rest of the stores are popular that you can probably find them at general malls. You can look on their websites to see if you like their styles.

Ive had mono for 2 weeks this comming monday and my sore throat has lasted for 10 days, and its so annoyingg, i havent slept a night all the way through since i had this as soon as i lay down to sleep my mouth gets super dry and my ears bother me. Im just getting fustrated, anyone whose had mono can you let me know how long your throat lasted and everything? my doctor told me i was recovering fast and i'll be able to go back out with my friends and stuff on saturday..

My sore throat only lasted a few days, but every case of mono is different. The usual time period is 10-14 days. If your sore throat persists after 14 days, you should go back to the doctor to see if there is anything they can give you. You may be recovering, but mono can stay in you for months. The doctor gave me 8 weeks. I've been going out with my friends/family regularly, but I get extremely tired. When you do go out, pace yourself. If you get tired, rest awhile or go home. Seriously, even though it is summer, mono can relapse & you could have it up to 6 months. You definitely don't want to miss school. Your body will ache too & your spleen could be enlarged. My spleen is enlarged & it used to bother me when I slept. For your throat, try drinking as many fluids as possible. Ice cream & ice pops really help. I would also suggest soup & jello. One thing though, do not take Amoxicilian. It's for throat pain. It totally cured my sore throat, but I broke out into a nasty rash all over me. So avoid Amoxicilian. Do not take any pain killers unless prescribed by a doctor. I was also told to avoid tylenol. You could schedule an appointment to talk with him/her though. Basically avoid medications unless they are prescribed. Mono is a virus that has to be worked out on its own. Rest & drink plenty of liquids.
