How much do u think i would lose if i stoped eating for awhile, and drunk nouthing but water? (link)

You're entire life.
You can die from that.
It can't be done long-term. You put your body into starvation mode. When your body thinks it's starving it doesn't "eat" away fat right away. It breaks down your muscle tissue--the muscle tissue is actually one of the first things to broken down and used. You're left with fat deposites then until you body, eventually, eats away at them. Then you're left a skeleton.
Muscle gives your body definition. It gives you those hot muscular legs that men like. It gives you a nice round booty. It gives you uplifted breasts. It helps to flatten your stomach even after you've eaten. It helps you to exercise, move better, and have a healthy heart.
Sure, you'll lose weight but you won't be trim. You'll flab at first because your skin will sag where the deteriorated muscle went away from. It'll be harder to tighten that skin up without a proper amount of muscle, just so you know.
Muscle burns fat. It burns fat while you sleep too! Why would you want to get rid of such a nice thing?
Bones aren't sexy. They just aren't. Nobody wants to look like an ugly bag of bones.
Your skin will also not be as soft. It will toughen up for many reasons. You'll lose the fat stores underneathe it, eventually, and that will reduce the moisture within the skin cells. Your skin will also thicken though to help keep you insulated because you will be cold from having a slowed metabolism.
Oh, I guess I didn't mention that. Your metabsolism? The thing that burns off calories and turns them into energy? Gone. Forget being able to eat after awhile. It can be hard for the body to even recover from that. Expect some nasty ulcers in the beginning when your stomach acid overproduces and begins to eat away at the lining.
It's not pretty.
Be smart and restrict your calorie intake in a healthy, well-balanced way. Something between 1500 and 2000 calorie diet should be OK. Exercise to help firm up and gain some extra muscle. Yeah, muscle will weigh more than fat but it is smaller in size so you'll get firm and tone, which is what is physically appealing to the female body anyway.
Be smart and take care of yourself.

In my daughter's school there is a swimming unit in gym class and both boys and girls have the class together. Is this appropriate? Even though its just one piece suits allowed. I assumed they would be seperate. Daughter is in 7th grade by the way (link)
|
Appropriate for this day and age? Yes.
Appropriate for your children? That's up to you. You are the parent.
If you don't want your children exposing themselves to the opposite gender in tight swimsuits then make a decision to change the situation. Speak with the class instructor and principal about your concerns. If you are strongly against your children being in this situation (and there is nothing wrong with being against such situations) then pull her out of that class and let her learn to swim with you or in a different setting away from school. It's perfectly acceptable to no just "go along with the program" like other mindless parents. If you disagree then do it strongly. This is how people begin homeschooling their children. There isn't anything about swimming that you can't teach her or that you can't hire someone to teach her in a more appropriate setting.
You must take into consideration something though. If you have ever taken your daughter to the beach and she has been in a swimsuit then there is nothing there that hasn't been seen before then.
If you allow her to watch public television programs or popular movies then she may have already see everything there is to see about the other gender, by the way. Click on MTV sometime and just marvel at what they are feeding the youth. That isn't entertainment--that's selling sex.
If you want changes made then you have to stand up for them though. By changes, I mean the entire society. Sure, one person isn't going to change an entire school-system but if enough people join together and say, "Y'know...I was thinking...I really don't like this...let's change it," then it can be done long-term.
Over the past few decades we have really hurt our children. They're more sexually promiscious than they were. They are more open to drugs, alcohol, violence, eating disorders, and homosexuality. They are likely to be obese, depressed, and suffer many marital divorces. Has our society improved? Yes and no. In some respects we are flushing ourselves down the toilet.
So, is one swimming class going to affect your daughter? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends what she has already been exposed to. It depends on who the children she will be swimming with are, personality wise. It depends on her personality strengths. It depends on your parenting skills. It depends on proper child-parent communication. There is no pinpoint answer.
Decide for yourself if it's appropriate and do what you feel is best. Make the changes. Improve your child's life in many ways.

So i got my period 5 days ago, and i used a pad along with a tampon the first couple days and while i sleep because im completely paranoid about bleeding through. Anyway, i woke up this morning, and i havnt used a pad all day today. And i just looked at my leg, and i have a weird rash on the inside where my pad was rubbing against my leg? Is this bad, should i be worried?? How long do you think it will last? Is it just irritated skin or is it something else?s (link)
|
Actually, I noticed the dreadful maxi pad rash when I wore certain types of pads. I dealt with for some number of years before I finally discussed the issue with my husband one evening. He had seen my pads before and had touched a clean one to feel how soft it was. His very first response when I was telling him about the maxi pad rash was that he didn't think they felt soft enough for such a sensitive area.
So, I switched brands. I tried all of the kinds I could (except scented versions). I prefer winged pads, which I've read to avoid to deal with less rash issue--common sense though because there's less pad to be touching the body, right? I want wings though!
But I couldn't find a solution is my point. I couldn't find a pad that didn't irritate me and I refuse to go on tampons for health reasons (they are such nasty, evil things--steer clear!) Then, one day, I was looking through a vitamin site and read something about a new brand of pads that said something about no rash being associated with them. Why? They lacked chlorine bleach! They were whitened without bleach!
Bleach? On your vagina? OUCH! No wonder we have rashy problems around such a sensitive area! No wonder we get a pad rash!
So, I purchased a pack of the chlorine-free pads and wow.
I can't say anything negative about these pads.
I love them.
They are softer. They are more comfortable. My period has actually been shorter since I made the switch. I can't believe they aren't all made this way.
You can purchase Seventh Generation menstrual pads from their website. I prefer to get mine from VitaCost because they are cheaper there. They cost about the same as Always brand and are 10xs better, in my opinion. I don't have to feel irritated or rashy so I'm happy.
Seventh Generation Pads on Vitacost (they also sell pantiliners and tampons that are made without bleach additives):
http://www.vitacost.com/productResults.aspx?ss=1&Ntk=products&Ntt=seventh%20generation%20pads
And if you're just curious as to why I say to avoid tampons...check this out:
http://www.xomba.com/are_tampons_supposed_hurt
I hope you find a good solution so you don't have to deal with the rash any more. Chemical sensitivies can show up any time, any where so don't just throw this away as being a one-off thing. Chances are, if it is in relation to the bleach, you will experience this again and again if you don't change something, you know?

I want to buy a shirt that says Spoiler Alert on it. I don't want it to be ugly or anything and I want it to be like a t-shirt. I'm thinking some cute font for a girl.
My friend has one and I think it's funny because he's always accidently telling everyone how TV shows end like LOST. He wears it a lot and everyone loves it.
I have a bad habit of explaining the whole movie to someone and then they don't want to see it because I've, of course, spoiled it. I want a t-shirt too.
Is there a place online to get them? He says he got his online some place. Anybody know? (link)
|
If I am reading this right you only want it to have the "Spoiler Alert" text on a t-shirt as the design?
I looked around but didn't find a whole lot. CafePress has this section of Spoiler Alert shirts that is pretty darn cute though:
http://shops.cafepress.com/Spoiler_Alert
If you're looking for something more specific then let me know and I'll look around. I tried to find something fairly plain and not specific to movies but I can look if you'd like.

If my boyfriend just touch my vagina with his panis and the liquid is fell into my cloths and on my thies than three should be any possibility of getting pragnent. He is only touch my vagina not pussing and his penis is not going inside me.
(link)

Yes.
This is how babby are formed.

I was on wikipedia and it says "requires that at least two personalities routinely take control of the individual's behavior"
Does that mean 2 personalities other than the host?
Or does that mean the host AND another personality?
Thanks! (link)
|
The "host" is the main personality that is active most of the time. Many times the body is actually named by each personality and is only a shell for the personalities to live within. It's like..."Suzy, Joe, Mark, and Samantha live inside this body they refer to as Katherine." Each personality can control the body when they are actively out. There is usually only one personality that is active at a time.
MPD usually has many, many personalities. It's actually pretty uncommon to only have two. Each personality is strong in one respect--like there might be one that is very masculine, strong, and aggressive. Another personality might be very meek, shy, and childish. Another personality might be very sexually promiscuous.
If you consider the "host" to be the main personality that is active for most of the time (the one that most people interact with at first) then, yes, you would count that personality as 1. ANY personality counts as 1. I have 1 personality. My husband has 1 personality. Someone with MPD might have 8 personalities all total.

I tried the instead soft cups about a year ago and thought it was a good idea, when i went back to the drug store the next month they stopped selling them and so i hvant used it. Now i am using nuva ring as birth control and want to track down instead and use it again. My question is...can i use my Nuva Ring and Instead soft cups at the same time? (link)
|
I know that the NuvaRing can be used with reusuable menstrual cups for sure.
I'm not sure why you would choose to insert an Instead Soft Cup when you aren't on your period. From my understanding, you are suppose to remove the NuvaRing the week you are due for your period. Correct? That means you would not need to insert them both at the same time.
Then again, many women choose to wear cupes to collect excess discharge or to help them become pregnant (probably not the case if you're using birth control though).
Darn! I wish I had kept the box of Insteads that I purchased awhile ago instead of throw them out. I so would have mailed them to you for you to use if I had known they would have come in handy for someone. I am unable to wear them so they were a waste for me :(
I have sent a message directly to the Instead SoftCups people and expect a response shortly. I wrote them once between and they were fairly prompt and thorough with their answers. I will update my answer when I know FOR SURE the answer. I may even copy the "doctor's" word-for-word letter back. It's better to get a certain answer than for me to take a guess, right? :) CHECK BACK SOON!

what are the chances of a condom having a hole in it?? i had sex with my boyfriend and i know it didnt break cuz i know what that feels like....and nothing has ever happened before.....but like im worried for some reason..... (link)
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
A male condom is NOT 99.9% or 98% safe! Not at all!
Try more like 88% effective on preventing pregnancy if used properly. The 90-whatever percentage they advertise on the condom packaging is actually for "perfection" in the use. None of us are perfect. There will be defective condoms. Some guys will be too larger or too small for the average condom. Even inadequate lubrication can alter it's effectiveness on preventing pregnancies. The 88% estimation is for TYPICAL usage--like for us normal, non-perfect human beings ;)
Take a seriously look at the condom before applying and once it is on the penis. Sometimes you can see some minor defects in the manufacturing like tears, holes, or rips. These will happen naturally since they are mass-manufactured. If you visibly see anything then try a new condom.
Check the condom after sex, too. Be careful when removing it and then look at it entirely for any more defects that may have been missed before. You can also try to lightly "squeeze" the semen from the condom while running your hand down it, slowly, after it's full. If there is a leak then you know for-sure that it has broken. This won't always work though.
Condoms also DO NOT protect you against STDs or STIs. This is a very common misconception and should be re-thought. Many young men and women end up with genital herpes after engaging in sexual intercourse while using a condom. Condoms don't cover the entire genital region so they don't protect completely. There is also likelyhood of improperly applying it to or removing it from the penis and increasing the risk of STD tranmission. It's too risky.
Don't engage in sexual intercourse with anyone you don't completely trust. If you get pregnant then you need to know that your partner will stand by you. If you don't know your partner well enough you could wind up with a life-long illness or unpleasant disease.
Be smart and be safe.
If you're ready for sex then you're ready for all possible outcomes of the act. Use a condom and hormonal birth control to help decrease the chances of getting pregnant. Try using some spermicidal foam as well to help cut down on the risk as well. Know that nothing will protect you from STDs so choose your partner carefully.

i mean like.. if someone says.. "do you put out?" whats that mean? a guy asked me at school when he asked me to the dance and i said yes to the dance but idk to this other question. Is it bad? everybody laughed? (link)
|
"Do you put out?"
=
"Will you have sex with me, no strings attached?"
It's an extreme insult. You should talk to the boy right away about this, and consider NOT going to the dance with him (hey, you might have more fun going solo anyway).
Being easy is not good.

my mom is always asking me to clean my room, well, because its always a mess! i hate cleaning it though! i always get destracted and can never get it done. sometimes a 15 mintute thing can take me up to a week.
anything i can do?? (link)
|
Cleaning your room really quickly isn't that difficult and you can make it fun with music and dancing. I found this article that suggests you start by putting things into piles by separating them starting in one corner. It can help cut down on making so many trips to the same location...like going to the laundry room again and again just to put up dirty clothes. Here:
http://www.xomba.com/how_clean_your_room_fast
It also takes note to ask for help if you need it. Ask your friends to come over, time yourselves, put on some good music, and laugh while you clean. Friends make everything fun and the time will FLY BY before you know it :)
If your room is stinky from the clutter sprinkle some baking soda down on the carpet, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then vaccum it back up. If you don't have carpets then put some pure vinegar in a few small dishes around your room and open your window to let it air out. The vinegar will take out some of the stinky odors and the window will get rid of the vinegar smell! ;) Voila! You'll be done in no time

im a 13 year old girl. im really nervous that ill get my period one day in the middle of school. are there any signs that will let me know if im about to get it? (link)
|
There are lots of signs when you're about to start getting your period when you hit puberty. To be prepared make sure you learn more about your body so you understand why you make experience some of the signs and symptoms of beginning a period. This article seems to help explain a lot about periods and why you experience some of the symptoms listed:
http://www.xomba.com/signs_getting_your_first_period
From that, you can see that you may experience a different kind of discharge, mood changes, food cravings, headches, cramping, acne, and loss of energy. Every girl is different though so you might only experience one of those, none, or even all symptoms. Take care of yourself and you'll notice the symptoms won't be too bad.
Remember to also carry a pad around with you in your purse or pocket for just-in-case emergencies. Practice applying the pad to your panties beforehand, too, so you know what you're doing and how it feels to wear a pad (do not do this with tampons though as it may be dangerous to your health and well-being).
Talk with your mom and listen to what she has experienced in the past. A lot of times what she had experienced will relate to what you should expect, including the age she started her periods and when she currently expects them during the month. Relax for now and enjoy being period-problems free! :)

What do you say when a guy asks you out. I'm only thirteen, so things don't come naturally. Do you just say "yes"? But that sounds like when someone asks you to marry them!! I think too much about simple things. CAn someone help mee?!?! Don't call me dumb please because you're just stating the obvious!
I'll rate honestly. (link)
|
There are actually quite a few ways you can let this play out, especially if you want to play hard to get. A simple, "YES!" might be wise but make sure you leave the guy your phone number so he can call you. Here are some more tips on dating and accepting (or decling) an invitation to go on a date:
http://www.xomba.com/what_do_when_someone_asks_you_out
Make sure you read the answers for saying, "No!" too since you probably will run into that issue at some point. Being prepared is always wise.
Personally? I would go with the clear answer of, "Yes," and then ask the guy what he had in mind for a date and go from there. If he asks you out then he has probably already had date ideas in mind so see what he has to offer.

I need some good things to write in people's yearbooks. I want funny, sentimental, memorable. I will rate high for good answers.
Thanks. (link)

There are a lot of good suggestions when signing a yearbook for a school friend. Some of the suggestions are to be funny or stupid but that isn't always the best route to go. Remember that there will be class reunions down the road and somebody might actually bring out their yearbook to read off in front of the group. Here is a small list of good yearbook comment suggestions:
http://www.xomba.com/things_write_yearbook
I think the "be positive" suggestion is good. It isn't that hard to make a good comment about someone, even if it's, "I've always really liked your freckles. Thanks for being a nice kid to me and giving me somebody to look forward seeing. Hope you do well in college next year."
Be creative!

how long does a hickey last??? is there a way to get rid of it faster????? (link)
|
A hickey can last up to 10 days but usually only about 5 or so. It really depends on how hard your partner sucked and how much damaged cells there are in the location. Some really fast ways to get rid of hickeys are located at this site:
http://www.xomba.com/how_get_rid_hickey_fast
There are 6 ways listed, including using ice, combing the skin, moisturizers, and massage techniques to try out to get rid of hickies faster. Check it out, it's pretty helpful.
People usually like to just use the ice one. The combing of the skin might be tricky to do, but I'm not entirely sure. Make sure to wrap the ice in a cloth though so it doesn't stick the skin. I don't think there would be any harm in repeating the process all day (like 15 minutes with the ice on and then wait until the skin warms back up and do it again). Try it out and see what happens. A hickey is like a bruise so treat it like one and it should go away fast.

I have a major crisis.. i just got my period today and in a month i'm supposed to go to florida for volleyball nationals and i'm supposed to get my next period during that tournament :( the reason why this sucks is because
- i can't wear tampons. like i've tried at least 20 times and it just doesn't work for me. and there's no way i can get the experience now and be able to succeed wearing them in a month.
- the place we are staying at (rental home) has our own private pool and i can 90% guarantee that we will be swimming a lot.
- nobody on my team knows that i can't wear tampons, so it would be really embarrassing if i told them that i can't go swimming because i have my period.
so any advice??
btw- my mom won't let me go on the pill. i was thinking about asking my bff to get birth control pills and let me use them for a month until the tournament starts. do you think that will work? like if i started taking the pill asap, will i be able to skip my next period in a month?
also, is there any way i could make it come a week sooner? my period normally comes every 26 days, is there any way??? helppp i'm desperate. and please don't say "grow up and wear tampons" because i honestly can't use them and i won't have enough experience to use them in a month. thank you! (link)
|
Not using tampons is your best choice anyway.
Why?
Because there's no reason why you should shove a piece of chlorine bleach soaked, dried-out cotton piece up your vagina. The removal of this in itself is actually harmful to your natural sensations. Yep, densensitizing your vaginal area is probably something you don't want anyway ;)
I have dangers of using tampons right here (ignore my "2" rating...you can clearly see why it's inappropriate):
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=547596
Now, I do suggest that you might want to look into menstrual cups. They are easily insert, don't harm your sensitive vaginal walls, and can be worn at any time--even when you're not even on your period--safely. Here is some information I provided to another user when they were curious about the Instead cups:
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=533850
Mind you, my experience is a little different than most women when it comes to Insteads so don't just toss away that idea either. I would suggest the reusable ones for many reasons, including them being cheaper in the long-run.
Nobody would know that you would be wearing a menstrual cup. They can safely be worn longer than tampons. You can order them online or pick them up at various local stores. The Instead brand says that you can even have sex wtih it inserted. Lots of perks to this option, especially when it comes to your health.
Nix the idea about the hormonal birth control pills. If you're not sexually active then you don't need them, especially if your period is fairly regular. You don't need to be pumping your body full of synthetic hormones to alter it's natural balance, you know? Having your period on time isn't the end of the world and it can be dealt with appropriately. Just let your period do it's natural thing since it's usually on time and be darn glad about it :) you're lucky, trust me.

Hello everyone!
So I would like to know, are there any websites that aren't like E-bay or Amazon where I can find cheap yet reliable ellipticals? No Craigslist or companies like Sears, Target, etc. Thanks in advance :) (link)
|
This site has a listing of pricing. You can purchase one for under $500, which seems to be a steal for a good one. I just clicked the Under $500 link and saw a decent sized listing of them:
http://www.allellipticals.com/
Other than that site, it appears that you're going to have to invest quite a bit of money for a reliable elliptical machine. They aren't very affordable or cheap for immediate purchase and I'm not finding many sites that offer a payment system.
I would say you might want to rethink the Amazon option, at least. I ran into a few of them where Amazon had an amazing deal compared to other companies and websites. I'm talking about Amazon having an elliptical for $500 while others were around $650.
GNC has some ellipticals you might be interested in:
http://www.gnc.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=elliptical&origkw=elliptical&sr=1
If your price range is $1,000 or more than just google "affordable ellipticals" and there are loads of sites that I've found. These machines are just not cheap and there are so many sites that appear to be rip-offs, to me.
Sorry I'm not coming up with much but I saw that this question is STILL up here and thought I'd try to take a good stab at it. I now know why nobody else has answered this question. I hope you are able to find something in the end but I wouldn't close up some of the options you have because many of them are good, reliable companies. WalMart and Target would even take the equipment back if you found you didn't like it, you know?

My girlfriend and I have been going out for about 6 months now,and she wants me to take her virginity.I want to do it but i keep telling myself to wait till im about 17.....but on the other hand i don't want to get drunk at a party sometime and lose my virginity the wrong way.What should i do? (link)
|
I don't think it's stupid to worry that you might wind up a bad situation and lose your virginity the "wrong" way. That's a very good worry for a teenager that is pressured with what the media is forcing down our throats regarding sex. The real issue here is this:
Losing your virginity to your current girlfriend when deep-down inside you're already feeling "iffy" about it is the wrong way too.
Lose your virginity when you feel it's the RIGHT time. Control yourself at parties and never drink too much to where you cannot comphrend what is going on around you. You can have a fun time at a party without getting plastered and waking up naked in a ditch somewhere. If you can't remember the party then why even attend? Just have a drink or two and when you feel drunk then stop. If a girl is all over you and you don't want sex then tell her. You really don't want to get into a mess of a girl claiming you raped her because she was intoxicated anyway.
Tell your girlfriend that you're not ready. Boys are usually the ones that want to jump into sex right away but this is sometimes not true. You letting her know might be a little bit of a shock to her but she will understand if she REALLY cares about YOU.
Simply say:
"I was thinking about the sex thing and I'm just not prepared for it. Sex brings on a lot of responsibility that I don't want to deal with right now in my life. I'm not ready and I'm not comfortable with it so I have to say no to this. It's not that I'm not attracted to you either...it's just that I know I'm not ready yet. If that bothers you then we're just going to have to part ways. I need somebody who respects me and can be with me without needing sex."
Really. The worst thing that can happen is that she breaks up with you. Sure, maybe you love her a whole lot but if she breaks up with you because you won't do her then does she REALLY care about you? No.
Be smart and be safe.
And condoms aren't going to protect you from everything either. There are still STD and STI risks involved as well as pregnancy risks. No 15 year old needs to deal with pregnancy or herpes.

In your opinion please tell me what you think the meaning to Keep The Change (You Filthy Animal) by The OverUnder is. I really can't find much on this song or band.

Obviously it's that someone has lied or cheated on someone else.
We'll say it's a boy singing about a girl, k?
"My broken record never skips a beat"
I guess he kept saying what he felt in his heart over and over and the person who ended up screwing him over says, "You're like a broken record!" not realizing that he was speaking what was on his heart.
"...then you come clean."
She was hiding something from him and then, suddenly, came clean with it all or he found out about the lies all at once.
"Call it what you wanna call it,
You never called me back..."
She broke up with him by not talking to him again. If you say you'll call someone to work something out and then you never call or never return a phone call then obviously you broke up with them in a pretty cold way.
"I won't try to fly so don't convince me"
Maybe he's saying he won't leave this alone so don't even try. He knows her secrets now and he's going to spill the beans. "Fly" would mean "leave" and he won't be doing any of that.
So, yeah...
Girl lied to boy
Boy is really upset
She said she'd call and didn't
Boy is upset from broken heart
Boy is mad at girl for the lies and not being herself and honest
He's not going to leave and will be telling all of the gorey details to ther other boys she's going to try to screw over.
Yeah.

okay, i have been with my boyfriend for like two years.
for a year now we have been having sex...quite frequently too
he has cum in me like every single time, but not once have i gotten pregnant.
why cant i get pregnant. does him smoking a large amount of weed have anything to do with it?
whats wrong with me :/
(18 y.o btw) (link)
|
Well, if you have unprotected sex for more than a year and have not gotten pregnant then it's possible you're infertile. Technically, you would be considered "infertile" because of this.
I know you don't want to hear this but in some studies weed is showing signs of actually damaging reproductive organs, especially in females. They're even saying it may alter the DNA structure within females. That would mean the DNA you have and will pass onto your child will be altered. It probably won't be altered to where your offspring will become superman. Keep that in mind. Alterations in DNA usually aren't very good.
New studies are being done on various things we once thought to be fairly safe to some extent. They are finding new things about tobacco use even that is downright frightening--and for YEARS we promoted such things! Just because somebody says, "Weed never killed anybody!" doesn't make it true. Please, keep that in mind. It is a serious thing. It has killed people. There are things we still don't know about it and things we're just finding out about it.
I have a lot of information about weed and pregnancy from a previous answer here:

Your body should be healthy before getting pregnant. A healthy uterus can sustain a healthy baby and you can have a healthy pregnancy.
Weed = not healthy.
That's just it. Seriously. It might not be 100% of your problems but it probably causes a lot of problems.
Smoking means a decrease in the amount of oxygen your body can take in and use. A decrease in the amount of oxygen your body has means things like sperm production dwindles. Your boyfriend may have an incredibly low sperm count because of this. Your uterus may be unhealthy because of this. I'm not saying it's only smoking weed either. Smoking anything is unhealthy.
I have some more helpful information on getting pregnant (kind-of like step 1 to getting pregnant, I think):

The threat of getting a 1 isn't very scary. A rating of a "1" is only used for harmful advice. If someone doesn't agree with you it doesn't mean the advice is harmful. Harmful would mean they are telling you to hurt yourself, you know? Saying, "Weed is incredibly unhealthy for you!" isn't harmful. It just makes -you- upset because maybe deep down inside you know it's wrong. Who knows.
If you give people a "1" who don't deserve it you're going to be reported to DangerNerd for abusing the site. Just giving you a heads up so you know to not act on that threat. Wouldn't want you to get into trouble for something silly like that.

Does anybody know any good websites for stay at home moms that can do jobs online? (link)
|
There are lots of online jobs you can find and they are definitely out there. Most of them require you to be age 18 and above though so keep that in mind.
Here are a couple of listings of real work at home jobs you can apply for today:

But before you get started you probably want to prepare yourself in case you run into a company trying to scam you (especially if you find something not in the above links). A lot of work at home jobs try to make you pay so much to actually apply or join the position. Those are not real jobs and they aren't going to help you make money usually. Sometimes the only way you can make money with those is by scamming other people. That isn't very nice, is it? It's true though. So, here is a link for you to read about work at home jobs and how to avoid job scams:

Also take note that just because you apply for a position doesn't mean you will get it. Real work at home jobs are just that--real jobs. They require you to fill out applications, have a background check ran, and maybe even multiple phone interviews before you're hired. If you don't get the position the first time around then relax and try some other places like you would normally do. There are tons of people looking for jobs on the internet so it might be a little harder to get a position if you're new to it.
Good luck!
