about

My name is Devin Lindsey or Vinny as my sister calls me! I am 17 years old and go to Bethel Park High school. I loooove swimming along with dancing, singing, and playing softball. I also run varsity track with is alright i supose too.


My favorite colors are orange, pink, and blue. I love to be crazy and have a good time

I've had a job working for 15+ monthes so I can answer alot about that

and I know alot about relationships in general so I can be helpful with that sometimes

especially with parent child relationships


I am a very observant person and tend to know more and care about more than most my age


and I really believe in volunteering to help animals especially at shelters. Usually its not their fault that they have to live their and its usually horrible cercimstances that bring them there and I feel terrible that they can't speak for themselves and people are too caught up in spending like $500 on this cute little pure breed puppy from a breeder just into getting rich instead of giving one of these dogs another chance at life (there are usually a handful of dogs under a year old so the i want a puppy excuse doesn't work with me)

My baby is named Lainey Mae... we got her from a shelter about 2 hours away from us when she was 7 weeks old. she is now 2 years old and the center of our family. unfortunately someone was cruel enough to go down and drug up and shoot (but luckly not kill) most of the dogs plus rob the owner (just like someone did at the shelter where I volunteer) and its now shut down

advice

my friends and i are on a basketball team but it seems like they dont care if we win or lose. how do i tell them to step up their game with out sounding like a bitchy dictator?

well what my dad did for my sisters softball team is promised them a pool party if they won the rest of their games. maybe you can talk your parents into having a movie night with them or something and tell them if you win they can come over and your parents will throw a party

in november i got my haircut and the beeotch who cut my hair cut it to my chin. now its grown out down to my shoulders. since then i have been curling the ends out with a round brush and now when i wake up their curled out and i have to brush them that way or it looks bad. how can i make them straight without using a straightner?

well if you blow dry your hair and brush it often during the process it should get pretty straight. also you can try several products that help straighten your hair (either shampoos or gels you use before blowdrying our hair) i use panteen pro V like smooth and straight or something and it helps a little with me. also you can try using those big curlers that will just make your whole hair curl under.also my hair seems noticeable straighter if i let it air dry but brush it several times throught the time its drying

hi
i was just wondering what way i could get hollister & abercombie type of rips in my pants. like me doing them my self?
thanxx a bunchhh

if heard that first you use sand paper then you use a cheesegrader over that.. ive never tried it (i jsut buy them that way from those stores) but ive heard it workes well. i would try it on an old pair of jeans first that you dont wear to make sure

like i have super thick hair. and its pretty long to it takes me like 1hour and a 1/2 to straighten it is it bad to straighten your hair like twice a week? what does it do? my friend told me that she straighted it like twice a week and now it is easier to straighten. is that true?

i would say its accually easier to straighten it if you do it less mainly because the more moisture in your hair i guess you could say (not dried out) the straighter you hair is and less frizzy it is etc.. it may become faster because you are doing it more but you will get better results by doing it less and it should be easier

i would try switching your straighter if you are having a realy prob. like my hair is semi think and a few inches below my shoulder (well before i got it cut a few weeks ago) and i had my hair straightened easy in 15 min (my hair is a lose wavy curl kinda deal)

i use a helen of troy straighter too if that helps

do they hurt alot? do you have to go to the place with your hair full grow or shave kinda or trimmed? how do they do it like whats the process?

it depends on how well you take to waxing and pain.. to me none of that stuff hurts. the way i would few it if it hurts to tweeze your eye brows this will really hurt for you and if tweezing doesnt bother you than you should be fine


i believe when you get it waxed the hair has to be about an inch or so so if you trim it you still shouldnt have a prob

Do crunches/sit ups really work? I have heard that they do and also heard that they don't do anything. Can someone please tell me if they work & if so, what they actually do? I'll rate 5s. Thanks!

Also, what are some other tummy-toning exersizes? Thanks In Advancez!

if they are done correct they work great! they tone the muscles in your upper and lower abs depeding on what kind you do.

and push ups if done correctly (hands straight down and in line with your shoulders) work your abs more than your arms

also yoga is great for your stomach

ok i take modern, and as you may or may not know, its basically ballet without any shoes. I have a problem though. I cant turn because my feet always get stuck. Ive tried putting powder on them before i leave my house but it doesnt work. How can i make my feet tougher and easier to turn on? thanks
-a desperate dancer

try putting rozen on your feet

also wear half sole foot thongs/sandals (what the girl is talking about below)

also maybe if you moisturize them alot your feet may be greasier and easier to turn in. also try oil on the bottom of you feet (either bath oil or cooking oil)

Okay so I'm wanting to get something new. I was thinking about getting some side sweep bangs and having my hair cut into layers.

I've been cursed with very fine hair and I'm looking for something that would make my hair appear fuller and thicker and something that is easy to maintain as I don't have alot of time in the mornings.

If you have any suggestions PLEASE post some pictures that I can bring in to my stylist.

Thanks!

someone recommended this haircut for me

exactly what things could i sell on ebay in which would make a lump of cash?

well my aunt sold all of my american girl doll stuff on there and i made over $180 on stuff that was just laying around

also beanie babies and old china sell well.
ive seen abercrombie bags sell well. like one that i bought new from the store yesterday for $24 was listed on there and selling for anywhere from $26-40 no lie.
i would try just simple things that you have laying around and test your luck. there isnt really a way to predict what will sell and what wont.

my sweet 16 is in august and i'm starting to run out of time! this is a special birthday as you know, so it needs to be good. i need ideas for what to do, under two conditions: nothing dancing, and nothing too expensive (thousands of dollars), ya know! give me ANY ideas you have because i can't think of anything and i'm scared i won't be able to do anything in time and it will be a dissapointing birthday. thanks! (btw, to help you out: i live near san fran, i do like music, uh... yeah.)

well what im doing for mine is I'm having a music/swimming party. like outside we have a stereo system and we are gonna play loud music and just swim all day them roast marshmellows and stuff at night.

you could also have a DDR party
or rent a room somewhere and just have a dance party with a DJ

what can happen if u suck helium out of a balloon?

well besides making your voice higher it can cause brain damage if you have to much if it!

thank you. but i have braces are they okay.

ohh yes you are fine as long as you keep your mouth shut. what the metal does is attract like and makes it shoot off the things basically and makes then really hot. like how metal chairs are in the summer. it could cause discoloration if you keep your mouth wide open but it should be a problem. also if you have your mouth open it may melt your bands but i wouldnt worry about anything

If your gonna say something about skin cancer don't answer or I'll rate you bad.
alright. tommorow I'm going to the tanning salon.
I've been there once before. =] [the tanning bed kind] However I have a few questions.
~ How long do you stay in for?
~ What do you wear in there?
~ Please include some additional information if you want a five.
~ Is it alright to go bowling afterward?

you stay in however long you want (anywhere from 10-20 mins (on 99% of tannings best levels 1 and 2 20 mins in the max you are aloud to do no matter what) ussually if its your first time in a while or you have fair skin they start you on like 13)
alls i wear is my underwear but i know people that wear their binkinis its basically the less you wear the better
Make sure you take off all your makeup and moisturize first for best results
makesure you have no metal on!
if you burn make sure its all gone before you go again
it takes a few times to see good results
and doing anything afterwards is fine although you may have a slight burn and maybe be a little sweaty!

I run track and my shins are starting to bother me. I have a big track meet tomorrow and I really need some help on wha I need to do to help soothe them. Thank you in advance

well you need to be very careful.. there is a chance you could have shin splits and if they are not treated correctly they could cause very serious problems.

what i would do is rest your legs.. take warm baths and ice your legs and hopefully they will feel better. but if you have a trainer see him/her immediately!

When I shave my underarm I somtimes get these bumps and they hurt pretty bad! What are they? Use Venus for my razor and soap. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be doing something else?

Its from shaving too much and the skin getting to dry and whatever


just if you can dont shave as often and try using something like conditioner(i know it sounds silly but it works) instead of soap and hopefully they will go away!

Hello.
I'm writing and englisg essay, and english is my second language so I would appreaciate some help.

Would it be;
a) blablalbla..my lover (whom I'm now going to call "blablabla")

OR

b) blablablabla..my lover (who I'm now going to call "blablabla")

??

Thaank youuu.

I believe the correct answer is A unless you are writing a very imformal paper then B would be alright. I believe they are both correct but A is the best way to say it

sorry i didn't know what catagory to put this in.

ok i'm 13 and i just got a straightener. i heard that if you use it too much your hair gets really dry and it's unhealthy...so for people that straighten your hair...how many times would be too much? like how many times could you straighten your hair in a week without it becoming unhealthy? thx!

EDIT::******************************

sorry i thought gets was gels im kind of out of it! its not really how many times a week you straighten it as it is for as long as you do it.. like ive straightened my hair everyday for the past 2 years or so and i say its not to dried out. as long as you keep your hair properly conditioned and get it cut regularly doing everyday shouldnt do to much damage.. but it depends on the straighter. like i use helen or troy. If you are truely worried don't do it more than 2 or 4 times a week.

its hard to answer this because it depends on your hair. like straighter hair would take it better than curly hair etc. if you can give me your hair type and whatever i can try to help you more

ok my dad wasnt home so i snuck a reeses peanut butter cup, even though i wasnt supposed to have one and i dropped it and my dog ate it...is he going to die? please help me i am so scared right now...hes a wire fox terrior, 1 year old and weighs about 18-20 pounds if that helps...please help me danielle

he should be just fine.. it takes alot of chocolate to kill dogs... the only main thing you have to worry about is his teeth because of the large amount of sugar and even that isnt a big deal. if you are truelly scared get him to eat or drink anything (to help delute the candy in his stomach) and brush his teeth!


ps there is no need to call a vet unless she is vomiting after 48 hours or so of eating the candy. he may vomit or atleast have a stomach ache but its a very minor problem and he will get through it
