Can anyone tell me a quick way to wash cabbages, greens, fruits, etc clean with no dirt in it?
I haven't did it for a long time so I forgot and I didn't want to tell me dad when he told me to. Last time I took an hour and he yelled at me because they STILL had dirt in it. I was soaking them for hours and they still had dirt, or that I couldn't see them =( it makes me feel realyl bad when my dad scolds me
Hi.
Soaking them doesn't usually loosen the dirt which is why it might not have worked. With fruits and such you can normally just wash them under a tap of running water and that should do it. Things like cabbages is more complicated though because there's leaves and dirt can be deep inside where you wouldn't normally be able to get to.
In large restaurants they usually have a hose attached to their taps which make washing vegetables and such a lot easier because of the pressure from the taps it loosens and washes away the dirt more easily. At home though it's not the same and whenever I have to help with the cooking (or cook myself) with things like cabbages or lettuce I seperate all the leaves (since no-one I know cooks them all attached as a bunch anyway). This way you can wash all the leaves and make sure that there's no dirt on them.
My mom makes a dish using spinach which again can take a while to wash if you wash all the leaves. Since she has to cut them up into small pieces first anyway she does this first and pops them all (cut up into small strips) into a bown with a mesh bottom. This way she can put them all under a tap of running hot water and give them a good and thorough wash all in one go (instead of doing one leave at a time).
Hope this was helpful. :]

im still in love with my ex bf. im the one who broke up with him but its only because i was having major issues w/ myself that i wish not to state here. we started hanging out again about 3 months after we broke it off & things were going good until my "problems" came back & i was so confused 7 i said a lot of things i didnt mean. & we stopped talking. then a month later he asks me to his prom & i accept. so then im thinking he wants to get back together so i kind of ask him about it. then he goes into things like i kept jerking him around & hes not really ready for a relationship again yet he kissed me. i told him i cant go to prom cuz that would be too awkward. but i screwed things up with the things i said to him but i cant get him out of my mind. what should i doo????
-Coree
Hi Coree.
These things happen so don't beat yourself up about it too much. We all go thorugh this sometimes and I myself have been there a lot of times. It was hard to actually tell my ex at the time exactly what 'issues' I had because it was hard to actually put them into words.
The only thing I can really recommend though is that if you want to save your friendship with your ex then you explain you had some issues you needed to deal with but you are now over them and are ready to get back into a relationship if he wants to try again. If he doesn't want a relationship then it might be a good idea, next time he tries to kiss you, to tell him you can't do that because that would just cause problems (on the one side he doesn't want a relationship and on the other he's kissing you?).
First and foremost though you need to try and resolve all these problems that you have been going through. If you have not actually resolved them and put them to rest they will only come back to mess things up again and again. This should be your first priority. I know you love this guy but getting into another relationship with him will do no good if these 'problems' will just come back to throw things back to square one again. Try and deal with them first without and distractions and once you have conquered these problems you can move onto trying to see where you stand with your ex and perhaps try to fix things between you or at the vey least at least still remain friends if nothing else.
Good luck with everyhting and I hope I was able to help a little.

Well i dont know if this goes here but i dont think anyone be be that upset about it anywho i've been grounded for a while now and so i have not been on the computer but i cant seem to remember any of my passwords i mean i tried all of the ones i had before and none of them worked i cant remember my yahoo or myspace or anything how can i find my passwords
Virtually every mainstream site where you need to register and such have a recovery option to reset/recover your passwords. IF you had set your recovery e-mail (for, lets say, myspace) as the one you can't seem to access (yahoo mail)then I think that'll be the first place to start.
On the Yahoo mail site you'll find the option to recover your password Hopefully you'll be able to retrieve it and from there you can do the same with myspace and all the other places where you can't get access because you've forgotten your passwords.
I keep a hard copy of all my passwords (I write them down and keep them hidden in a very safe and secure place) so whenever I need reminding of a passwords I can look it up. Since it's not stored on my computer all my accounts are safe if my computer decides to have a breakdown or if someone manages to somehow hack my system.
Try using passwords that are easy to remember but also hard for others to guess and remember to always use a mix (words and numbers) as this makes it a lot harder for anyone trying to use dictionary attacks against your accounts.
Hope you manage to get your accounts back.

Ok.. well junior prom is in two weeks, and I don't have a date. I'm a girl, so I don't plan on asking anybody, and if anybody was going to ask me, they would have asked by now.
I was just going to go with a few friends but trying to find a dress and stuff... I just realized that I really don't want to go. I mean, the only reason I'm going is to say that I went, but I have a feeling that I won't enjoy it very much (especially without a date). And I don't know if it's worth the money if I'm not going to have fun, especially because my parents can't afford it.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to not go, because then I'll be sitting at home on Saturday night while all my friends are at prom and I'll be sorry I didn't go... but if I go, I won't have fun and I'll just be miserable.
I don't know. If I had a date, it would be okay, but I don't think I'll have fun without a date. What should I do?
You DON'T need a date just to have fun. I've been to plenty parties and get togethers like these where everyone turned up with dates (most of which they got just because they were desperate and didnt want to look like they couldn't get a date) but I had an awesome time - and I wasn't drinking either. :P
As for the dress, they can get pretty expensive so it might be a good idea to have a look into seeing if there's a place near by where you can rent a dress instead of having to buy one right out. Also, just because something is very expensive doesn't always make it look pretty. Shop around and see what you can find and you may find something that you can buy without breaking the bank and still look stunning.
Never had prom or anything of the kind over in the UK until recently so technically I never went but if I had the chance I'd have taken it. As you said it's not goin to be nice you left at home and more to the point it will be something you'll regret later and all for what? Just because you had no guy ask you? Having someone ask you is nice but going with friends can be just as nice - it's what you make of it really. This'll be the only junior prom you will get so make the best of it and above all, have fun. :)
Hope I was able to help and also don't forget to let me know how it went. :)

on this web can you be friends with each other or can you at least chat?
I see no reason why not. Most of the advice givers add their personal contact information on their profiles and would only have done so if they don't mind being contacted so that's one way (to e-mail them that is - adding them to things like AIM, Yahoo and MSN should probably be done after emailing them to ask them if it's okay first, just to be polite).
There is also the IRC (internet chat relay) chat roomavailable to chat in (use the chat room link on the left under get advice). You should be able to find all the nicely detailed information you need there. :]
If you need further answers just let me know.

hey im 14/f
theres a guy i like and sit with at lunch who has been making fun of me all year, but in a "flirty way". for example if i drop a french fry he'll call me "ketchup fingers" (haha i love his sense of humor).
but sometimes he can get really ...frustrating, like one day he'll joke about me being a lesbian (which im pretty sure i'm not cause I like this guy :p) or comment on how short my skirt is (which it isn't), etc. it's really embarassing and it hurts my feelings because one of his friends who doesnt sit with us told me he likes me (i dont know whether to believe him or not because of how much he changes, but on the other hand over the entire year he has pretty much proved he likes me)
so should i get over him? he likes me (i believe), and i like him, but he's being totally disrespectful and i am a big believer in a thing called R-E-S-P-E-C-T
thanks in advanceee
Hi.
Most guys just lack common sense - it's probably not anything personal against you I think it's one of these genetic things from way back. Anyway, if you like this guy then by all means do something about it because, as you said, he likes you too. The way he acts might explain that too.
However, the thing with guys are if you're subtle most the time they just will not get the hint. You have to spell it out for them. The fact you want respect is a good thing - I like that. Every girl should do too. So, if you want to actually approach him about the whole do you like me thing or if he finally does tell you he likes you then you'll need to spell it out that some of the things he says are out of line. So he needs to show you some R-E-S-P-E-C-T or he can go find someone else. :] Liking someone is a nice thing especially when they like you back but if they have no respect for you then, I dunno, to me it would just seem a waste of time and effort. It'll be somthing you'll need to take up with him somehow. Or, if you want, just tell him you do think he's funny and stuff but he' borderlining on what's funny and what you find disrespectful so if he's not careful he's goin to end up having you hate him instead of liking him. I'm sure that'll be a hint even he won't miss. ;]
Good luck and sorry if I wasn't much help here.

Say you had so called friends mybe one real one and one accompliance with that person you d not like so much and they were talking about girls they thought were pretty and you weren't included but they all were would you still consider these people your friends?
To be honest I'm not actually sure. I think it's more do you consider them friends or not? Everyone is different and me personally - I don't care what anyone thinks of me in the least. They either like me or they don't but little things like how people feel about how I look (like if I'm nice looking or not) I pay little or no attention to. I've had some friends say I'm hot and others say not say anything but it's okay because I wouldn't say they are all hot myself either. You can't please em all and to be honest everyone has their own version of what's pretty and what isn't.
I think it's really up to you on what you think about these friends but personally I think it's a bit vain for them to add themselves on this list their making up. :/ Don't let it bother you because I've no doubt that you're very pretty, maybe a lot more than they could ever be. And I'll be willing to bet anything that there's a lot of people out there who think that. :]
To answer your question more directly by the way... I find it very hard to trust people. I have very, very few people I can honestly call a friend. I've a few friends who I trust with my life and my secrets and then I have people I just know and talk to every so often or I hang out with. If some friends did to me what happen to you I'd be glad that at least they were honest but me being me I'd have probably said, "Oi, why ain't I on that list - I should be in 1st place before any of you and any those other people on there!" :D Might not be true, but it's what I'd have said to see what they have to say about that. If they were people who I trusted and were my real friends it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. If they were just people I knew I just wouldn't care because at the end of the day what they think wouldn't make a difference to me one way or the other anyway.
You're pretty - don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. :]

You know how if you type something on like the search bar on google and say you put "L" then a whole bunch of words that you were looking up with the letter "L" drop down?
How can you get rid of every saved thing you typed and how can you make it stop saving that?
And is there away to delete the websites on the drop down list on the adress bar?
There is indeed a way but I'm not sure how thorough it will be so you'll need to test it out (I can't because my machine is recovering from a huge crash and I need all the addresses saved in my drop down bar).
Firstly, open an internet page and then go to 'Tools' and click on 'Internet Options'.
A box will pop up - from here, under 'History' change the number to 0 and click on 'clear History'.
Go to the 'Content' tab and under 'Personal Information' click on 'Auto Complete' and in the new box that pops up uncheck the box next to 'Web Addresses' under the 'Use AutoComplete For' heading.
That should do it but if it doesn't work give me a shout and I'll see what else can be done. :)

Sorry if this isn't the right catergory....
I'm an 18 year old female. I've been on and off dieting for a few years now and nothing seems to be working the way I'd like it too. I lost elevn pounds last summer but I gained it all back as soon as School started again. I've been considering diet pills and since I'm old enough to buy them now, I think I'm gonna try them. I have afew questions though.
1.) Can anyone tell me the risks involved?
2.) I heard that once you stop using them, you gain all the weight back, but if I work ahrd enough, will the weight stay off?
3.) What would be the best and most effective for me?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'm not sure how effective diet pills are but please do bare in mind if diet pills really did work there would be no overweight people in the world at all. It is something you have to remember. Simply taking a tablet will not help and since there are so many variations they all come with theirown way to take them, theirown side effects etc.
First thing you have to remember about dieting is that once you do lose weight you can easily gain in back by letting go again. It doesn't work this way. The idea is to get into a healthy routine and to stick with it. Obviously you can spoil yourself every so often but the key is not to overdo that.
1. Risks are various but most common I know about are dependancy. However every variation come with their own side effects so I strongly advise you speak to someone either in the store before purchasing your chosen ones or reading the instructions you get with them very carefully. Also, before you undertake any kind of diet you should normally consult your family doctor - if you are going to be using tablets then I strongly advise you do this as well.
2. This can happen whether you use tablets or not. If you suddenly stop your routine you will gain the weight back because you suddenly got lazy and such. This all comes down to how your body works so again, this is something you should bring up with your doctor.
3. This all depends on the tablets you choose and buy. Some accelerate the digestive process whereas others claim to burn your stored energy off (fat). Depending on which you choose you should start off with eating healthy (joining a reputable gym and then speaking to the staff there about a consultatiopn would be VERY good way to do this). They will be able to advise you on what kind of foods to eat and what to avoid (basicly the idea is to reduce fat intake and stop the unhealthy snacking) but also exercise. This is where the gym membership will pay off - they will show you what machines you need to use and how often so you work on the parts of your body which need work.
Overall I think as long as you are wanting to lose weight for yourself then by all means do so (it was why I started because I wasn't happy with how I am). But do it in a safe way. Last thing you want to do is end up causing your body more harm than good. Speak to your doctor as well as get all the professional advice you can and then go with what you feel right.

Hi
you recently helped me in the situation to do with my friend and her 27 year old 'cybermate'. the parents now know although i hadnt told them . They contacted he police but, like you said , they said it isnt illeagle(?). My friend is now extreamly depressed and considering drastic measures if you know what i mean. Please help
Hi.
Yes, I remember you. With this kinda thing eventually people do find out so it was innevitable.
All you can really try and do is be there for your friend. It's so obvious to me that you care a lot about your friend so if she can't already see that I'd be very amazed. Tell her that you are there for her to talk to and that you do care about her and are worried about her. See if she will open up to you some more and hopefully stop her from thinking along the lines she is thinking.
If you honestly believe she is capable of harming herself though and feel you may not be able to stop her doing so you should have a talk with her parents in confidence and let them know you're worried about her but at the same time you don't want to feel like you're betraying her trust by telling them. Hopefully it will prompt them to try and actually talk to her and help her or at the very least keep an eye on her to make sure she's okay.
She seems fixated on this new cyber friend she had so in my opinion it's a good thing that her parents had got involved. If she is this depressed (and the things that happen to her in the past you had mentioned could be a possible cause of this as well) then she needs professional help with dealing with her depression. I'm not sure if her parents have even considered this or not but it's something they should very seriously consider since she seems to be in a dangerous state of depression.
Let me know how things go and feel free to write back anytime if you need to chat about this again. At the moment all I can really advise though is you talk to her and try and make her see there's the friends right there infront of her who care and love her too (like you) and not just this cyber friend she met. And if you honestly believe she may be capable of harming herself because of her depression I think it would be a good idea to have a talk with her parents (her mom would be a good choice - just try to arrange meeting her alone at your house or osmehting with your parents there if it will be easier for you or even get your parents to help by explaining what is going on).

Tomorrow I'm going to a rock concert with a friend. What should I wear, and how should I do my hair and makeup?
Also, what do you think I should take? We're going to be standing near the mosh pit, and I don't want to lose anything valuable.
Thanks in advance, xxx
Hey! :D
A rock concert? Any band that I know?
Let's see... the best thing to take would be a cell phone, and some cash for drinks and food (bare in mind at concerts drinks can be expensive) and a cash card if you feel you might need to get more money out. Also, with a cash card, if it's lost you can easily have it cancelled and get a replacement. That's pretty much all you'd really need to take as far as items go - try to avoid taking bags of any kind and such with you because it's a pain carrying them around and looking after them while your gettin down with the music. :D You'll obviously need a secure place to put your money and phone so plan ahead on this (especially if you'll be in the pit). If you have nowhere to put your phone you can always leave it behind but it's always a good idea to have it just incase you need it. I have a deep pocket on my jeans so I had kept mine in there. Money doesn't break so I just keep it in a zipped pocket for security.
As for what to wear just wear whatever you feel comfortable in. If you plan to dance/mosh then you'll get hot so keep that in mind too (as well as wearing a skirt in a mosh pit might not be the best of plans if you plan to go in the pit).
The only other important thing to remember is that you'll be standing the whole time (unless you manage to find a place to sit down near the front) so wear something you'll be very comfortable in.
Have fun at the concert. :D

Were can I download it for free? Including its games.
Thanks a lot in advanced yall!
You can download mame from it's web site at mame.net but games are not as easy to get hold of as a lot are still under copyright protection.
The best thing to do is to perform a search for mame roms and see what you can come up with. I know there's a good number of sites out there that make mame roms available for downloading (some charge a small fee and others are free) of games that their perspective copyright holders have given permission to be freely distributed.

dear ammo,
thanks a lot for replying to me. i have posted few questions already and i added the one u send me as well.it was too long so i seprate it.actually im quite new to this site i never used it in my life but i dont have any thing to do and there is no one who can guide me so i just search in google.well what happened is me and my bf love eachother a lot.but sometimes we used to have some little fights but will be ok by tomm or day after but this time i was already 2 weeks we didn't talk so last sunday when i asked mid of night he told me that we are broke up already im too shocked.i dont want to loose him in any cost.when we had a fight he hit me but that was not too much and because of me he did so.i feel guilty because he already told me please don't act like this leave me alone for now but i was so angry i was bugging him that was my mistake but i really love him and i cant imagine of breaking up with him as he told me already.but i know everyone will say its stupidness to stuck but i just want one chance to prove but he dont talk to me at all now if i keep on going to talk then he say go away, leave me alone n stuff ...i don't know what should i do ...as you told me write a letter i did wrote mails so many times to him but it is not working.we are in same room in his house with his family.please suggest me but don't get tired of my mail....but i dont wanna loose him what should i do ..
thank u so much for your help
Hello.
I'll try help as much as I can. Firstly, there's never a good reason for hitting your girlfriend so I think doing that he was out of line.
I think the best you can really do is either write him a letter (since he's not getting your mails becuase he's not at work) and just leave it on his bed for him with his name on it. Alternatively, it seems that he just needs some time to himself to sort his head out and such so it might even be a good idea to just leave him to it. I know you're afraid of him breaking up with you and stuff but at the moment it seems the more you try and get answers from him or talk to thim the more you are just pushing him away. I'm sure he knows you do love him and need him but maybe just give him some time to get his thoughts together. It will hopefully make him see a little more clearly and he will come to you when he's ready to talk about it all.
If he has decided already that he doesn't want to be with you then by ignoring you he is being selfish. He should make his intentions clear. Do you even have anywhere else to go to? Like any other family you can move in with for a while? If you do I think it might be a good idea even if it's only temporarily - until he decides what it is that he wants. Doesn't any of his family talk to you? I assume they all know what's going on but haven't they spoken to him about it all or spoken to you about it and tried to be supportive towards you?
Write me back if you'd like or if you want to feel free to e-mail me if you want what you say to be kept private. You'll find my e-mail on my profile.

yeah, so in this magazine, i saw this ring, from their website, and it looks just like a chanel one, and so i was like whoa i have to have it, but when i went to the website, it didnt have it. i just got this magazine on april 23rd. do you think they just didnt update the website or something??
It's a possibility because some web sites can be very slow in updating especially when some companies have a third party company on contract who update and run the web site for them. Either that or the item is not yet available to buy but has been advertised as an item that's coming soon.
I think the best thing to do though would be to either give them a call (if they have a customer support helpline) or alternatively e-mail them and ask them about the ring and if it's available as well as any other additional information you require (sizes available, price, item code etc). This way if their site has just not been updated yet you can still buy the ring if you want instead of having to wait.

Okay I am going to say my biggest fear....I am afraid of death. I'm scared of dieing. What can I do to stop thinking about it??
A lot of people do fear death for various reasons. You'll hear a lot of people saying how they aren't afraid of death but I can guarantee you that most of the time it's all ego talk.
I've been dead before (for a very short time) and it's kind of made me not be so afraid of it. I think the only real fear I had was not being able to say goodbye to everyone because of how sudden it was and how close it was to being a permanent goodbye as opposed to only being dead for a very short time.
Think of it this way, there is nothing youo can do to avoid it. It's going to come eventually to everyone no matter how immortal one thinks they are but if you sit around fearing death all your life you will eventually see that all this time you was so afraid to die you had forgotten to live. Life has a lot to offer and we don't always have forever to experience everything so make the most of your life and don't (or at least try not to) worry about death.
Death has a lot of fear attached to it for example how people fear if it will hurt or not when the time comes. If they will be forgotten or remembered by the poeple they love. If they will have done everything in life they want to do before it happens. All these things are a worry a lot of people have, associated with death.

This weekend I am going to a couple parties and am going to be drunk at all of them. I'm debating over whether or not I should hook up with some people. I would like to, but I don't want to worry about the "aftermath". It's with mostly people I don't know, and I'm not going to have sex.
Should I do it or not? What in your opinion are the consequences?
I'm not sure what you mean by hooking up (since your version of hooking up is probably different to the version here in the UK) but either way you'll need to be careful your not so drunk that the person you're hooking up takes advantage of it. Then there's making sure that the person your hooking up with knows what the score is i.e. you're not after a one nighter and you're just after some fun while at the party.
I think other than that the only problem you might have is people talking which isn't really anything you can do about. You might get people saying how you was all over one guy at one party and another guy at another party etc, etc, etc. I'm sure you're all too familiar with how people can talk because they have nothing better to do, hehe.
It's really up to you either way though but personally I'd say go out, drink (to a safe level obviously - even with me being older I still only drink to the point I am in total and full control unless I'm in a big group of people I can trust with my life) and just have fun. :D You don't need any hook ups to have fun but if you must then just be certain they also know what the score is otherwise you'll have them causing endless crap (you leading them on, them wanting more etc).
Have fun! :D

4 days ago she started to feel sick the same time she ate a meat lovers pizza, and now she always throwing up and sick, all the signs or being pregant, but she gets that 3everytime she eats meat. so is she or does she just have food poison btw, a comdum brokke in her about two weeks ago though she is on the pill and the condum had spermicide
If she was on the pill she should be relatively safe but I would first suggest a home pregnancy test to make sure.
As for the throwing up, she wouldn't have that kind of reaction from just meat if it was food poisoning. It might well be an allergic reaction of some kind so I would strongly suggest she takes up a visit with her family doctor to determine what it could be. She could also explain about the condom breaking (you offering to go with her may make her feel more comfortable and there's nothing to really worry abouot because rest assured the doctor will have heard it all too often before already).
Hopefully everything is okay and it's just a reaction to something she is eating or a tummy bug of some kind but a visit to the doctor is very much recommended to make sure it's nothing more serious.

My friend goes on teen chat rooms and shes 13. She met a guy on there and they swapped addies . He said he was 19 while on the chatroom thn on msn told her he was 27 but couldnt say that on there.They swapped number and they talk all the time. She had a very had life and was raped at a young age. Shes always been fairly depressed since. No one other than me knows about the rape but know she trustin this guy of the internet an awful lot. She goes to him with problems and such . Im worried i dont see how she cant see this guy cant be right in the head to click ojn a 13 yr old on a chtroom. Im worried and will not tell on her.I dont know how to stop her talkin to him Please help!!
The reason he avoided giving his real age in the chat may have been because of the recent increase in police surveillance of chat rooms. I myself work for an agency that aim to protect young children online from online predators so I do understand your concern.
At the same time I also have to point out that someone with that kind of age difference talking is not illegal. You being worried is very much justified though because at the end of the day she doesn't know anything about him regardless as to how much he has told her. It could all be lies but on the other hand it might not be.
Online predators will target young persons who are depressed, stressed out and feel they have no one else to talk/turn to. They will try to gain the persons confidence and eventually from talking online they will move onto talking on the phone and then eventually, after a few months or so (or when they feel they have gained the persons absolute trust) attempt a meeting. Thus far this individual has followed the same m.o. as many others have done before.
If you don't wish to talk to an adult about this then I would strongly suggest you keep a close eye on your friend and what goes on with her and this new friend of hers. If you believe she is in danger though and that this guy could be any kind of risk to her I would suggest you do talk to an adult about this. This kind of thing was the exact reason the company I work for was formed and this shows just why it is necessary. :[
All this said, I do think I should point out that he may be nothing more than a samaritan wishing to genuinely help your friend. I've had friends as young as 12 and as old as 65 to talk to online and many (like the 12 year old I used to know) was like a sister to me because her older brother had passed away. This was many years ago but regardless my point is that it doesn't always take someone older to be a pervert. ANYONE is capable of being 'messed in the head' be it a 40 year old or a 14 year old. Either is very much capable. A perfect example would be one of my friends (who was 15 at the time) who had sent questionable pictures of herself to her online bf. When they broke up he started blackmailing her with those pictures.
Sorry for this very long reply. I believe if they both have nothing to hide and are not doing anything wrong then there's no reason to keep their friendship a secret but overall I'mafraid you know your friend better than anyone else so it may all come down to being your decision on what to do. Feel free to message me if you need any more help on this.

ok, there is a girl at school who always steals other girls' boyfriends and crushes. so, a boy at school told everyone is my class who my crush was and now that girl has started flirting with him and giving him little gifts. i don't want to be mean to her because we just ended a huge fight. what do i do?
This has happen to one of my ex's (who we'll call Sam) as well. When I had first met Sam I had met one of her friends as well at the same time (who we'll call Kim). Kim didn't like me apart from just as a friend but then when Sam told her one night when we were all out that she likes me Kim also said she likes me too. Sam even stepped aside so Kim can get her chance but I made it clear Kim didn't like me at first so was only saying it now because she knew Sam liked me. I ended up going out with Sam. :D
Thing is some girls will do this for attention or just because they want what they 'can't have'. Ignore her, let her waste her time. If this other guy is just a crush and you fear that this other girls stupid attempts are actually working then it might be time to take it to the next step so he knows you do like him? This is generally the thing with crushes though. If you sit back and do nothing then someone else will eventually come along. :[
Also I'd like to point out that if she's been doing this with other girls' boyfriends as well and they've actually fallen for it then those guys didn't deserve the gf's that they had.

16/f.
my mom recently kicked me out because i came home past my curfew. is she allowed to do that since im only 16?
im living with my dad right now but its really hard cause he doesnt have a good job and we can barely eat and i have to walk to school from a different city ever morning. it takes me like 40 minutes.
my little brother still lives with my mom and she gets child support for both of us.
i live in michigan, can anybody tell me what the law is about kicking a minor out.
can my dad collect a paycheck everymonth since he is not financially able to support me?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I'm not sure how the law works over in Michigan or in the US for that matter but I would think the police would not be happy with your parents kicking out a minor. Moreover, your mom shouldn't technically be collecting child support under your name when you are not even living with her anymore (that's illegal) and instead your dad should be getting it to help support you living with him.
If you are intending to permanently stay with your dad then it is something your dad should take up with the relevant agency that pay child support to have it straightened out as well as check up on what the law is about kicking out a minor, or you can try calling the police to have a check with them on the law regarding this. I've found generally they are very helpful - especially if you pop into the station to talk with them (if you call them ensure you ring your local station and not the emergency number).
Personally, I think your mom was in the wrong to kick you out, it's wreckless throwing a teenage girl out to fend for herself - regardless if you did have somewhere to go or not. I know she needs to discipline but this was the wrong way to do it. I really hope you manage to sort things out. *hugz*
