Is my cat going to be able to smell my two, pet, water frogs, both smaller than a silver dollar if they're both contained in a plastic aquarium with a lid with only breathing holes? (link)
chloe wont be able to smell them, she can't smell through water. but she will be able to see them angel, remember those chinese hamsters you had. she might not have been able to smell them through the plastic but she could see them. and when a cat sees something moving about their first instinct is to find out what it is, if it's edible, and if it's tasty. so i'd say seal the lid shut, and don't let her near em if you can. k lovey?


What exactly does "crunk" mean?

I assume it means getting drunk, or high...but I am really not sure.

Guess I am getting old! (link)
it's like rappish stupid music.
when people say it, it's like a joke.


How do you clear the memory card? I tried to take a picture, and the screen went blue, and it said "the memory card is full." I uploaded pics from the camera on the computer, but it still said that. (link)
go to "review" then push the delete button, then go to down "delete all"

then after that, FORMAT IT!!!!!!
like this: go to menu, then go to the very last one, settings, then go down to "format!"


does anyone know where i can find a cheap stopwatch. or maybe a timer. or a cheap watch.

thanks (link)
ebay.com or a cvs/rite aid or another pharmacy


Me and my boyfriend are planning on having sex soon. Neither of us have ever done it before, so we have no idea what you are supposed to do without getting hurt. I am 13 and he is 14, do you think that it to early, even with protection?? Any advice would help. (link)
omg. you're too young. last year you were 12. you're a little kid! you sure don't seem married to me...


My boyfriend && I have been dating for a while now. And we recently started having sex.

I was wondering how [during sex] to show him that i really care && love him besides making eye contact and telling him. I really love his kid. He means so much too me.


Thanks (link)
You love his kid? Wow.

kay so about a month ago i cut my hair prettyyy short. and now i want my hair back!! is there anything i can do to my hair to make it grow faster? please helppp!!!! (link)
people might say that you cang get shampoos that make your hair grow faster, but those dont work. the only hting you can do it straighten it, because that extends it a bit


my boyfriend of a year has just recently taken up karate. he has a real job until 2 and his classes are from 7-8:30 sometimes 9. it takes up so much time that we barely see each other anymore. i think the karate is pointless because he is 19 years old and he's only doing it because he envy's his best friend who has a black belt. my boyfriend has been doing it for 2 months now and he's not even a white belt. how can i tell him enough is enough and quit without him getting angry? (link)
you can't control him or tell him what to do. the choice to quit would be his not yours. the martial arts are also something that some people that once they discover them they fall in love with it. my friend's dad owns a kung-fu school and i can say that kung-fu is something that once i started it i didn't want to quit. to me there is no being finished with it, as there is always more to learn. and i think maybe your boyfriend might be in that boat. have you asked him what he sees in the class? all i see here is you demeaning it and talking about how it's a waste of time, but not talking about how he feels about it.

and two months in karate isn't enough time to earn even a white belt. the difference between adult's martial arts and the martial arts for kids is that all kids start off with a white belt and are given "upgrades" in belts as time goes by regardless of skill. a kids class may feature a whole rainbow of belts. white, blue, green, yellow, purple, red, brown, and black. whereas an adults class may only have white, green, brown, and black. thus making it so that progression has to be earned based on skill and how much you learn. and in many cases two months is still just getting into the beginner's stuff. and for many adult classes progression isn't gained until one does some sparring matches, or tournaments with others in his skill and weight bracket. so as to prove that skill and ability are what moved him up, not how long you've been there.

i have been a black belt in suai-chow kung-fu since i was 14, i have been training in it since i was a kid, and i am nowhere near the level of some of the teachers and stuff. because skill takes a long time to hone and learn and two months in a class is just the tip of the iceberg. it takes at least four years where i come from to become a black belt and then within that belt are different degrees of your skill. i am only a first degree belt, my teacher a 7th degree, and some of his friends who come around are 10th degree which in the form of kung-fu we practise is the highest level of skill.

perhaps you should sit down with your boyfriend and discuss with him how his not being around makes you feel. but at the same time learn what it is that really makes him want to take the karate classes. if you tell him to quit he's just gonna do it more. and if you try to boss him around he wont listen. but if you sit down with him, tell him how you feel, find out how he feels, and try and talk it out like civilized people things should turn out for the better. heck you might end up taking karate with him, great excersize right there.


I have a very slender figure but I feel so out of shape. The only excercise I get is dance class once a week. My parents have tried to put me in sports, but I just don't enjoy them. Plus, it is hard for me because I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was wondering if somebody could make me an excercise plan that targets the biceps, stomach, and thighs. And keep in mind that I'm trying to build muscle & tone...not loose weight. Thanks so much =) (link)
For biceps, try 2 pound weights. After, try 5 pounds and keep on adding weights. Also, holding a lot of things and helping people picking up things place to place is a good thing. (My right arm has more muscle than my left!)
For the stomach is doing 60 sit ups a day. Then after a few weeks, 100 and then add 10 more after 100 until you feel comfortable and you see some difference.
Running might be a good thing for your thighs.


So my schools starting next week and i actually managed to get a locker this year. The problem is, because last year i shared a locker with a friend, i cant remember my own lock combo. I had the lock the year before last year when i had my own locker, but after sharing a locker with my friend, i completely forgot it! i just remember the numbers are all even and im pretty sure theres a 14 in the middle and maybe 36 somewhere.. is there any way to find out my combo or will i have to keep guessing or buy a new lock??? please help o_O; (link)
Do you have a piece of paper that has the code somewhere? Ask your mom if she knows. If not, try guessing and you should get it (it'll take a long time though, but worth it


I lost my desktop wallpaper. It won't show up and I can't locate it anywhere on my computer. I didn't delete it.

However, it shows up when I log off/shut down for a few seconds.

Is there any way I can get it back? :(

And no, I didn't download it from any website. My boyfriend made it for me on my computer. (link)
While at the desktop, click your right clicker on your mouse. A listing should pop up. Scroll down to properties and click. A box that is called Display Properties should pop up and click Desktop at the top. After, you should find a link Browse in the box to click and you'll be taken to a group of folders. Go find the picture your bf made you and click it twice. Close up everything, and the desktop should be their.

Hope it helps!


i cant seem to find the right color for my eyes, since they dont really have a definite color. they change from gray to blue to green. i have a picture of my eyes here: http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/636/dsc00728lm5.jpg

thanks (link)
Your eye color is stays the same and doesn't change. Maybe where you are and the light fixture while you are in the room kind of changes it.

I think your eyes are a sky blue with a tad of green. You can just tell people you have blue to make an estimate.

Hope it helps!


i didnt get my period in july and i havent gotten it yet and it is really late. i havent had sex but i know my friend gave her bf a handjob in her pool while i was in it (and of course i didnt know till later that night) and she said that he cummed. is there any way that i could be pregnant from that? (link)
No. To get pregnant, you must get the penis into the vagina so he can release sperm to fertilize the egg.
It's just late and you don't have to worry. I got my period at least 2 weeks late. Wait a few more weeks until it'll come. If it haven't, talk to your mom or your doctor; there might be something wrong.

Hope it helps!


sorry if this is long, but i really need help. every summer, my parents encourage my sister and I to do math to get a head start on the school year ahead of us. my mom used to assign me pages of problems to do, and when i finished she would give me 100 dollars. (keep in mind, i'd been doing this all summer). at the end of last school year i asked her if i could do a french tutor instead of the math and still get the money and she said yes. well she didn't get around to signing up with a tutor until a month into summer (it wasn't like she was busy, she was just sort of putting it off). and then when she finally made arrangements the tutor asked her for a days that i was free and my mom didn't get back to him in time, so by then it was a month and a half into summer and i wasn't going to have a tutor. then i started working on math by myself, really hard!! i finished 3 units which is 119 pages of my text book. today i asked her if i could still get the full money if i did a little more math and she said no!!! i feel that this is her fault, and i shouldn't get punished for working my butt off doing math, just because i couldn't get started because she was too lazy to schedule a tutor for me. is there any way that i can reason with her without being rude, because i've been counting on that money to be able to spend on something i've been saving for for 3 months, and without it i'll never get it. help!! (link)
Stop complaining girl! Mother's are like that, and their a reasons. Yes, reasons that seem so stupid, so unfair, you just wanna hurt someone! Don't end anything in violence.

Here are some ideas to nogociate with your unfair mother.

Approach her when she's sitting on the couch or a table or in bed while doing something quiet (if she does) "Mom, I've been REALLY looking foward to that 100$ bet you've promised me and my sister that if we do our math, we'll get the money. You told me earlier in this year that I could do french and you'll do the same, but you didn't do the schedule and you weren't busy, not to complain." Approach her sweetly and make her calm that she won't yell at you that you are so spoiled.

Hope you figure out soon!


okay so today...i was talking to the boy i like, online..and he weve liked eachother for a while...and you know we'd kinda flirt and stuff...but yeah it was just friendly i guess. and then the other day he told me that his friend tricked him into saying he loved me and then today he's like, you wanna know something? and im like sure and hes like well today i said i loved you and i wasnt tricked and im like ooo and then my friend talked to him b/c i had to do something and then i came back and talked to him and then i told him i loved him too and he said that i shouldnt say it just because he did and im like i didnt i mean it
so yeah, i know i meant it...but it felt weird telling him that.
so my question is...
how do you know you love someone?
and being 14...is that too young to know what love is?
14/f by the way. thanks..sorry its so long. (link)
Yes, it's long and there's a lot of bad grammer usage; but that's okay.
Telling someone being in love is a difficult thing for many females across the world.
The thing is, when you are in love with a man, you can feel it. He makes you warm and welcomed. He's generous and caring. He knows what you like and know how to care for you. You guys can have laughs and can tell each other secrets and don't have to be embrarrssed.
From my perspective, you are too young. I'm 14, and I haven't even had a boyfriend! (LOL)
I think you shouldn't tell anyone you love that person until you are an grown adult. You only have 4 years of childhood so live it! Don't grow up too fast, because childhood is very specail to everyone and if you screw it up, you just screwed your future and it's hard to get back on your feet.
Go steady with the guy you like and you know what, in 4 years, you might not love him anymore. Go slow with guys and wait until you are at least 18; you'll feel so much better! Your age, you shouldn't even be loving a guy.

LIVE LIFE!

what is the best local home made cure for chicken pox? how many days does it take to wear out + my boyfrind got it once will he get it again
(link)
it is a fact that you can get chicken pox again, my sister had them 3 times, it is highly unlikly that he will get them again, there are a few "cures" but the best thing to do is to just let it run its course. apply aloe vera gel to any type of cut and it will help fight any infection and will also speed up the healing process. hope this helped! xx
