hey i think i might be overweight. i'm 5'7 and weigh 105 lbs. my bff said i'm a beanpole. but i think i culd lose weight. help. (link)
|
I'll be blunt: you are really damned skinny. You are skinny as hell.
Stop worrying about your weight. You do not have a weight issue.
If you are truly concerned, start a regular, well-planned work-out routine - and set your goal to NOT lose weight. Your goal would be to build muscle tone. Not muscle bulk, either, but tone - well defined muscles. And that requires eating very healthy.
Stop worrying about your weight. You don't weigh very much at all.

well i joined advicenators like a while ago, I seemed to be doing reelie good until recently cuz mi ratings and evrything went down. wut should i do? should i give up? (link)
|
ratings go up... ratings go down...
you pay too much attention to the ratings...
Everyone pays too much attention to the ratings.
Stop worrying about the ratings. They are meaningless. What matters is that people come here for advice, for help, and there are people who are here to offer their help.
Don't worry about the ratings.

I have this sisgusting red thing on the lip of my eye. My mom said it's a "sti?". How do i get rid of it! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
(link)
| |
it is called a stye. It is basically a zit IN your eyelid. Try applying a hot, wet compress to your eye. If it doesn't go away on its own in a day or two, you'll have to get an antibiotic eye ointment from your doctor.

PLEASE HELP THANKS! (link)

If you're having sex this often and wondering about things like this, my first question to you is, "don't you have an ob/gyn??" They are the experts in this, you should really go see one. While the people on this site mean well, no one here is going to be able to help you appropriately. Go see a doctor.

I am trying to find an acid free box to store my big wedding dress in, but I just can't find them anywhere. I looked on the internet and found some great boxes from emptybox.co.uk. but buy the time I have it shipped to the United States from Europe it is going to cost about $200. I can't find any place in the U.S. that sells anything like it. Does anyone know where I can buy an big acid free box? (link)
|
I believe my wife's wedding dress was prepared for storage at a dry cleaner's. The box is also purged with nitrogen (an inert gas) and sealed with an outer plastic wrap. I would check with anyplace that does laundry / dry cleaning services and see if they can help first. As far as I know, the boxes are still just cardboard - perhaps there is an acid-free lining inside the box?
I believe that the price for having her dress cleaned and packed in the box was over $100 (USD), and that was in 1996.
If you want, pop me a note directly, and I can try to poke around the area and see what current costs are for this, or what just a box costs. It is probably shipping costs that is the worst part for you.

my mom has weak gums and my dentist says that im likely to inherit the "weak gums disease" thingy too. since im still young(only 14) im trying to strengthen up my gums, any food besides milk that i should try to eat to strengthen my gums? please help thanx! (link)
|
I'm not sure that there are really any foods that strenthen gums - it's not quite like teeth, where calcium and fluoride strengthen them - gums are soft tissue, whereas teeth are more akin to bones.
However, regular flossing and making sure to not over-brush your teeth will help keep your gums healthier. You might consider using a mouthrinse on a regular basis to kill off any bacteria that could infect or erode your gum tissue.

Hey Hey You guyZ- well i have a really high metabolism- and after every meal i eat even if its a big meal i feel hungry again- i eat alot even all my friends say i do- im 5"5 and weight 103- any suggestions on gaining weight? or will i gain weight as i get older and my metabolism slows down. Ive tried protein shakes but they didnt work-:/ (link)
| |
in all seriousness, try working out on a regular basis - even if you just do a few simple things with free weights. Building muscle mass means weight, and not only that, but tone and form. By jumping on this early, you stand a better chance of maintaining your metabolic rate as you age, and not have to worry as much about gaining fat as much as you will losing muscle.

okay, i play the guitar and whenever i go to play a chord like an E chord or an E m chord my wrist clicks especially if i play any notes up that far on the guitar neck it doesn't hurt but it's just weird. and whenever i do that hand motion for 'come here' with one hand where you move it back and forth.. it clicks really loud. is there something wrong with my wrist? or is this normal (link)
|
with regards to the guitar - you might take a close look at your posture and how your arm is positioned. You might need to wear the guitar up a little higher to reduce stress on your wrist and tendons.
While it doesn't hurt, it isn't helping your wrist, and can lead to long-term wrist problems. The popping is probably tendons - and right now, they are probalby not terribly stressed... but as time wears on, so do your tendons, which causes inflammation - and that can lead to long-term joint problems.
You don't need to spook yourself over this, but just be aware of it and think if there might be a way to adust your arm to reduce the stress on your joints. Even though there is no pain, you want to make sure that it doesn't become painful.
Cool?

im really confused.im a catholic and bieleve in everything it teaches.iv been baptised and confermed too.but i also beilieve in abortion.i think women should have the right to choose if they want.is this a sin? does this mean im goin to hell? pleaz answer. (link)
|
This does not mean you're going to hell.
Not all Catholics believe every last little bit of doctrine.
In fact, what many forget is this little thing called "Primacy of Conscious" - it basically says that if the Church says one thing and you really believe they are wrong, then go with your heart.
Yes, it creates a grey area that many don't like to address, but you're not alone.
I, for one, am Catholic. Personally, I would not choose abortion, and the point is moot for me (hell, I have 2 kids)... but I also don't think it fair to remove the ability of someone else to make their own decision. I will not stand here and say, "NO YOU CANNOT HAVE AN ABROTION! YAAARRR!!!" because that's just stupid. It is not my choice. It is not my life, and not my decision to live with. I will not choose for someone.
You're not alone. It is not a sin - and even if it were, that's what the whole basis of our religion is - forgiveness. So really, don't let it worry you.
Feel free to spew me a note if you want to talk more about this. ;)

Just so everyone knows, putting this in the subject of your question not only does not affect our decision to delete it, but it only serves to point out to us that you have already asked the same question before and it was deleted.
Asking the same exact question two or three times, only putting "MODERATORS, DON'T DELETE THIS QUESTION", does nothing but serve to annoy us more. (link)

but... but...
I RATE!
OMG!

My boyfriend and i had sex the first time last week. Now we are doing it w/out the condom. He says that he has his cum under control and he knows when it is comming out. So he said that when it comes out or feels like it he will get out of me and wipe it off. He said w/out cum you can not get pregnate b/c with cum it has the sperms. Now is this true or is he lying to get me pregnate. Please help Me!!!!!!! :*( (link)
|
He is full of shit.
He cannot control it, in fact, semen seeps out the entire time as his body's way of lubricating the penis and cleansing the glans. That semen is loaded with sperm. By doing what you just described, you are running a very high risk of getting pregnant.
Your boyfriend has no clue what the hell he's taling about.

I lost my voice about a month ago when I went to a singing camp. I had basically overused my voice. Usually I am asked to sing at weddings and such, so my voice is important to me as a way to earn money and express myself. However, after my voice came back after losing it, it has changed. It almost seems for airy, or not as strong. I feel like I forgot how to sing in a way. This has never happened before. I can still sing, but it wasn't as good as it was. Any suggestions on how to build my voice back up to its full potential? (link)
|
While people seem to be giving you rather vanilla advice so far, mostly about really common singing practices, I have to say this:
Have you been to a doctor yet?
It seriously sounds like you've paralyzed part of your vocal chords. That is a HUGE deal. You should NOT be trying to sing right now. Go see a doctor as soon as you can and make sure you haven't permanently damaged your voice! Please - I'm being quite serious. Lessons, drinking water, etc... none of that will help you if you're larnyx is physically damaged. Go see a doctor.

Alright, in Microsoft word, how do you change one word (lets say the word "red") to another word ("blue") with out going through the whole thing and retyping ever single word? When you add something to you dictionarly, can it be deleted? (link)
|
#1) Edit -> Replace... -> Enter text for Word to find, followed by text for Word to replace that text with. Have it go at it. Done.
#2) I don't use Word's built-in spell checker, because spellcheckers are proven to make people lazy at learning to spell correctly, and they often don't work very well... THAT SAID: Yes, you can edit what has been entered into your personal dictionary:
Go into Tools -> Options -> click the Spelling and Grammer tab... then Custom Dictionaries... from there, you want to modify the current one. Should be pretty straight-forward, but they did bury it waaay the hell in there, didn't they? ;)
Hopefully, you should be good to go.

This connotation of the word "shady" means devious, up to no good, or illegal.

I am a mother of young children . You probally dont have any , I hope not . Anyways you are young so I'll see if you can help me ; WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY CHILDREN TO LISTEN TO ME ? I have to tell them to do something like a hundred times by then I just get mad . Thanks AAWE (link)
|
Well, hate to tell you, but really little kids have minds of their own and think it is fun to disobey. I've got two boys, ages 2 and 4... they are punks ;) It doesn't help when the older one is just as stubborn as I am ;)
We will sometimes try bribes. Sometimes threats (take away toys, turn off TV, etc)... sometimes nothing works. Sometimes it unfortunately takes a little swat to the butt... but usually it just takes us being patient with them, realizing that they are just little guys, and they will test their ability to assert themselves at every opportunity.
Good luck.

It has the highest risk of infection and injury of all the common piercings. At least where I live, you cannot get such a piercing under the age of 18 without explicit parental consent (aka, they come with you).

what does bipolar mean? (link)
| |
Bipolar is a disease of the mind that can manifest in many ways. They used to call it manic/depressant, but that was too narrow in scope. It essentially means sporadically changing mood swings from one extreme to another. It is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and is easily treatable. Some people have very mild cases of it and do not need medicated, while others who are more extreme very much need medicated.
