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

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to put Microsoft into a format where it looks like a newspaper. I already know how to get the colums, I just need to know how to get the header part with the lines and stuff. If anyone knows what I'm talking about please help me!
Thanks
~Ank

there is a certain microsoft just for newspapers and newsletters and what not. its called microsoft publisher and im sure you can download a 30 day free trial of it somewhere. it is very handy and easy to use. i used in it school for a project and that was the only time i have ever heard of it!

if your pee is really yellow does that mean you dont have enough to drink, or is it the other way around?

i believe the yellower it is the more of either a colored beverage with nutrients or food you have had. like if you just drink tons of water it tends to be clearer. i dont think it has much to do with how much you need by color alone but i would say the darker it is the more you have had

last night after dinner my mom told me that she had something to tell me. she told me that she gave birth to me and my identicle twin sister. she told me that she couldnt keep oth of us because she was only 18. she didnt want to give both of us up. so she put my tiwn up for adoption before she was even born. i never knew about this only my mom and my grandma knew. they didnt want to brag about it to anyone. my dad knows about it also(my biological dad, he stayed with my mom through everthing and now theyre married!) so my mom told me that the couple that adopted my twin sister had died in a car accident and my mom was notified. and in their will they didnt give my twin to anyone. all it said was ask jennifer who she wants to live with. so jenny told the lawers that she wanted to live with her biological mom. so the lawyers called my mom and told her and my mom said yes. we get to meet jenny on saturday. im really nervous tho, because i dont know if we're alike or if were different and i dont know what to talk to her about. if anyone can give me advice i would be very happy. also im nervous if shell like hate me because my mom chose to put jenny up for adoption and not me. omg im so scared.

i think youll be alright

twins share a natural special bond and dont really get jelious over each other.. they would rather see others suceed and there is an extremely good chance that she is much like you because of your genes and you cant change that even parts or your personality. you just have to understand at first she may take things out on you because she has just lost her only parents she has ever know and shes going through a rough time. just treat her like a sister basically. the more you treat her like extra special the more shes going to get mad because she will think that you think you are better than her which it seems like you dont want to happen. just be open to her like she was a new friend you were meeting

please keep me updated on how things go it seems so interesting!

how do i get bigger love handles?

by gaining weight.. that is were most girls weight goes first

are there any cheap concealers or liquid foundations that dont bloch and stay on for at least a few hours? i have been using trublend but it blotches on my face and comes off before school ends.
please help! ill rate 5s

i use maybeline i believe.. its either that or covergirl... i own them both but i believe i use maybeline more but either way they are both fantastic.. i but my makeup on at 6 am and after haivng a hard track practice my foundation is still on! and i have horrible acne and this stuff is really breathable and doesnt make my acne worse!

I'm doing track and field. Yesterday was the first day. I'm not much of a runner, I do the field events, but yesterday all we did was run. Now my thighs are killing me. I have track again tomorrow and we're going to run the 100 meter most of the time. How can I stop my legs from hurting? How can I prevent them from hurting?

do alot of stretching it really helps prevent pain. to get rid of pain try warm baths, ice and rubbing the pain.. that did the trick for me at track when we did stairs which is crazy painful!

Do belly (navel) rings look bad on overweight people? I want to get a belly ring but I am overweight so I am not sure how good it will look. What do you think? Thanks

well i think to a point. if you are a little chubby i think they look alright but more than that i think they look bad

hey guys. i really like pac sun but the clothes are too expensive. does anyone know a store with the same brands at a lower price? it can even be an online store. i dont mind. =]

every once and a while they carry them at places like macys and kohls. like i was at macys the other day and they had roxy bathing suits

heyy.. i want to be a singer or a model.. people say that i should get an agent to like set me up for different record labels and modeling agencies and stuff

i wanna try both and the one i get more successful in, i'll do.. but my question is.. do you have to get seperate agents.. like a music agent and a modeling agent or do agents just help and set yu up with all that kinda stuff

and how can you get an agent?

well most of the time you only need 1 agent and it is very hard to become a model unless you are between 5'7 and 5'10 and perfectly skinny because taller people are harder to find and they are the only people to do runway stuff. you have a better chance getting a record label. before you get an agent though i would say record a single. its pretty pricy (like $200) but an agent is going to cost you more than that anyways

im graduating 8th grade this year and i need a dress. what are some stores that have pretty dresses for someone like me. like size-wise. and nothing too innapropriate. i dont kno what stores to look at! thanks ;]

well first off i would try macys

delias also online may have some cute dresses and hollister has some fancy skirts that you can buy a cute skirt with

there is this new store called body central that opened at my local mall a week or two ago and it has the cutest dresses ive ever seen but they may be a little too dressy here is the web site

Everybody has something their good at right? Some people are good dancers, athletes, public speakers, etc. I feel like I need something to be dedicated to. I love to be creative and i like to paint. I know its an advantage to know what you want to be, but i don't know of any realistic jobs where I can be expressive and creative, and make decent money. I'm only 13 but i would like to set a goal so when I get to highschool I'll be ahead of my game. I take as many art classes as I have time for. If someone could give me some career ideas, that would be awesome!

iterior designer
fashion designer
grafic designer
interior painter
muralist (if that is what its called)
own your own botique
art teacher
work with children (the are creative)

what are some really good mascara that is cheap (likebelow $10) that i can find at the store that seperates your eyelashes and makes them thicker/longer ?

i use estee lauder and it works great for me. its around 10 but im not exactly sure how much it costs because everytime i get it it comes in a free gift but i believe if you spend $25 there now you get it in a free gift along with a whole bag of stuff

how to help teen daughter not to raise her voice to unacceptable levels when we talk.

i say stay calm and accually listen to what she has to say. i tend to raise my voice when my parents think they are right no matter what and dont let me get my feelings out. i think parents need to be more civilized and realize that they arent always going to be right

Hell advicenators,

I was just wondering: what are your thoughts on starting school/letting your children start school a year earlier? Do you have any own experiences with this? Is there any cons; and what are the pros? Anything you shoúld think about before making the decision? How do you think your life would be different if you did/ didn't start a year earlier? Any opinions you have on this would be appreaciated.
Love,Alyssia.

I'm not sure if its always a good idea, besides the fact most schools don't let it. now im figuring your talking about kindergarden. i teach preschool and we have a number of 2 year olds in 3 year old preschool and thats not a problem but starting kindergarden early is not always a good idea because most children arent socially ready for kindergarden till they reach the age of 5 and only a teacher could tell you if they are because parents don't neceesarily know what to look for. like there is a kid in my class who is more of a loner and keeps to himself and may not be ready for kindergarden but after he leaves school his mom may never know how he was because hes more socialable.

some of the pros are that they are going to be older and ahead of their peers and for whatever reason if they ever need held back they wont be alot older than everyone else.

i think the cons are you are not nes. mature enough to be where you are and you can't make your brain mature faster when you are younger things come when they come and sometimes the longer you wait the better. like with reading they have done studies that most kids arent ready to read till they 11 and they were forced at the age or 7 and that is why they hate it now.

if i started a year earlier i think i would have lower grades and be not as prepared for highschool as i am now

Today I went to the salon and I wanted to dye my hair into a brown color. My hair was orginally black but after the stylist was done, it still looks black. The stylist said that since right now there is no sun and itz cloudy I wouldn't notice the color until itz sunny. The thing is I sort of notice that in the light itz a little lighter at the roots but the rest still looks black. So my parents are really pissed off at me cause they are telling me that I wasted their money and they said that it still looks the same. Will it look lighter when itz sunny?

it will look lighter in the sun but i would give it atleast a day. sometimes it changes a little like when i dye my hair dark from for the first day my roots look blonde even though my hair isnt naturally blonde at all. if your unhappy go back to the salon and they should be more than happy to fix it but some have rules you have to go back within 24 or 48 hours so make sure you check!

I'm about 5'4" and I weigh 180. Now every night my weight flunctuates and goes anywhere from 174-181. I plan to go gym...which I will start monday but I really need advice on how much weight I need to lose...n how much lbs is healthy to loose in 1 month. I checkd my BMi n it's like I'm obese...n bout 135-140 is the highest normal weight I can have. That's like 40- 50 lbs I want to loose. Now I don't plan on jus losin it in one month cause I'll get bulemic//eatin disorder. I'm planning to stay in the gym for at least 1 years and stuff but I really want to lose the weight in like 3-4 months. How can I achieve this? How much lbs is healthy to lose in 1 month? And is 135-140 my perfect score?

well it depends on if you are male or female. either way on celebrity fit club they said the max you should lose in a week is about 2-4 pounds but i would say 10 is the absolute max and you should only lose that much once or twice. i would say setting a goal or 20 pounds a month seems okay but i would check with a trainer at a gym first

I'm in high school. I heard something about a GED that gets you out sooner..what is that? How does it work, does it look good or bad for colleges, is it free, everything. :)

I'm feeling generous with ratings btw.

well its basically ment for people who drop out of school athough i guess you could get it while your in hs and its basically a hs diploma and its prob not free but im not sure.

and i would say it looks really bad for colleges because its kinda or people who are just desperate to get a hs diploma.. like alot of teen moms get it and stuff

now you would have to look more into a specific college and ask people who would know more about the GED and college thing. i only know who mainly gets it and what it is so i think that mainly explains how it looks but you never know

This is just an example. If I eat 2000 calories a day, and I burn off 2500, does that mean I've lost 500 calories, and 1/7 of a pound?

Or, if I eat 2000 calories, but I require 2200 daily, does that mean I've lost 200 calories?

Which of those two ideas is the correct one?

edit:: okay i see what you are saying. well 1 i didnt deserve a 1 because that is only for harmful advice but anyways it is better to eat 2000 then work off 2500 because by eating your body is working faster and you will lose more weight that weigh. cutting calories will not help you lose weight in the long run.. maybe a pound or 2 at first but it your matobolism will slow down because of the lack of food and you will gain it back plus more maybe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

tech. they are both right but not nes. true just because youve burned those calories or not have eaten them doesnt mean you loose weight. accually counting calories is bad like special k bars for example they have just as much sugar as about 4 oz of koolaid which in reality is really bad for you compared to what you can eat for 100 calories or whatever it is. and eating under 1500 calories a day can accually make you gain weight. cutting calories in the end never really helps you loose weight esspecial of you are teen if that is what you are wondering

so I got a 2nd hole on the lobe of my ear 6 weeks ago, and it's time for me to finally take it out.

but I try to remove the backing, and it's being stubborn && won't come off!

are there any tricks to help me get it off?

thank you in advance!!

i have had the same problem too.. basically you have to keep twisting and pulling and it will come out there isnt much you can do. just be careful that you dont rip any skin
