Does anyone know if it is safe to go tanning while being pregnant? I am not positive and I do not want to hurt my baby. Thanks in advance.
it's not a good idea. there are a lot of things we still don't know about tanning, and to be on the safe side, use the jergen's natural glow lotion (works really well) until you have the baby :)

I don't have like a ton of really close friends. Like maybe 2-7. So for X-Mas, I'm getting my friends gifts, small ones, but gifts nonetheless. I want to know if I should give presents to the 5 or so close friends and ignore the rest or give gifts to all my friends? Then I am faced with what should I give to casual school acquaintances, if anything? Then that would make up most everyone I know, but I wouldn't want people in my homeroom that I don't know particularly well feel bad. And should I gender-base it? Like give gifts to all my girl friends, or both boy and girl friends or what? I need to seem generous and nice, but not snobby by not giving gifts to some people. And should I give presents to teachers? Thanks in advance to whoever can help me with this mess.
here's what i've always done in the past. i normally give candy or candy canes to everybody (no teacher gifts though), and then the friends that i do decide to get things for, i give it to them after school, or i go to their house and give it to them. just so that nobody else will see. that way, nobody's jealous. for now, just get the girls gifts, and if you have enough money for guys, you can do that too if you want. i am 16/f, and i normally don't get gifts for my random guy friends (though one of my best friends is a guy). i only really buy friend gifts for like 4 or 5 people each year. you won't have a problem if you give actual gifts in private, and that way you can carry around a bag of candy canes and hand them out at school. also, if you really want to give teacher presents, that is fine, but nobody really does that at my school unless they want the teacher to give them better grades. haha :)
I'm getting my haircut soon. I want to get my eyebrows done as well. I want to get it done on a school night, so my hair is done for the next day. Would it be a bad idea to get my eyebrows waxed for the first time when I have school the next day? I've tweezed them before, but never waxed. I just don't want them to be all red the next day at school.
Thanks.
just don't plan anything for that night. it won't show up the next day, and i've hung out with people who had just had theirs done like that morning and it went away fast. if they are red, you can put something cold on them to make it go away :)

What are some cool gifts that I could get my friends (female)? $10-20.
Things that you would want to get... more specific that just "clothes" or "candy".
Not money or gift cards.
Thanks.
in the past i've gotten stuff like this for my friends that are girls:
small candles/candle holders
little things of lotion or bubble bath from bath and body works
that nice bath and body works lip gloss stuff
jones soda (i know it sounds weird, but a typical "jones" gift consists of a four-pack of jones soda bottles and some stickers or earrings or something with a big bow)
picture frames with a picture of you and your friend
photo albums
small purse filled with candy and jewelry, or any of the above
much of this can be found at wal-mart or target :)
EDIT: i just thought of this, and i know you said no money or gift cards, but starbucks has little five dollar gift cards that you could attach to a smaller gift, like a picture frame or candle.
This is for either girls or guys.
What are your standards for someone you would date?
Sometimes I think my standards are a little too high, so I was just wondering about other people's. Looks; type of personality; color hair; height; style; family; beliefs etc. Not really your ideal person, but rather (Put bluntly) what MUST they have or be?
Thanks
well, here are my standards (generally): the first thing is that they have to have a passion for something. i don't care what it is, but i can't stand it when people just go through life without really making a difference in anything. hair color, eye color, and all that stuff doesn't matter as much to me. i don't go for "emo" or "goth" or "punk" guys at all. i also don't go for "jock" guys or whatever... i just like normal guys. they don't have to be "hott" or whatever- i'm certainly not a supermodel, but i'm cute, and i would date somebody who is cute. and i enjoy hanging out with people who are very, very open-minded. i would not ever date somebody who can't respect other people's beliefs or religion or whatever. there are some other things, too- i like artistic people, in general, because i am an abstract person. it is good to have high standards (i do, but this was only the major points), because you are less likely to get in a relationship just because some guy thinks you're hot or whatever.
f/sophomore. I know I shouldn't worry...But I'm beginning to. I think I did very well on my PSAT...like a 1500 or something lol. I'm in all honors classes and my reading/math state level test scores are high. Should I stress?
no, not at all :) i'm a sophomore too. i took the psat this year and the sat when i was in the 7th grade (it was just a random program thing). anyway, i feel the same way as you about the psat- and when i took the actual sat three years ago, my scores were pretty good (for a 7th grader). don't stress at all, because if you think you did well, then you probably did. i know one kid that went in to take the psat and had to leave in the middle of the first part because he thought it was hard or whatever. as long as you don't do that, you will be absolutely fine. the best advice i've gotten about the sat is that you can't really study for it, and the more times you take it, the higher your scores will be. so if you take it every chance you get, then by the time it actually counts, your scores should be freaking awesome. hope i helped :) by the way, do you know when they release the scores for the psat? i haven't gotten mine yet. just wondering :)
at olive garden, they have these little timers that they give you when you have to wait for a few minutes for a table. they always say" it will be about 15 to 20 minutes" or something like that, and then, 15 or 20 minutes later, it vibrates and lites up to let you know that your tables is ready. and i was just wondering how those work.
it's not a timer. each device is programmed with a different number or "frequency" (if you want to call it that), so when they write your name down on the list, they put the number of the device beside it. when your name comes up on the list, they press a button that makes your thing light up. it's like a remote control, essentially. the time thing is just an estimate so that you'll have a vague idea of how long- they don't really time anything, and neither does the device. if you want to think of it as a cell phone that can only receive calls, then that would make sense too.
wellll
its almost christmas time
only 23 more shopping days left!
but the question is, how do you go shopping when you have no money!
im 15, and no one will really hire me for a job, i have to wait until im 16.
and of course i have no money!
i am trying to do odd jobs and collect momey for gifts
but i still dont have much
all my friends are asking me what i want them to get me for christmas, so i know they are all getting me something
so i have to, of course get them something too
what should i get them!?????!!!?
i mean, i dont want it to be cheap like a pair of earings or something
something they will be happy to get, but it cant be wicked expensive
ANY IDEAS?!
the best thing to do is either candy, or bake fudge/cookies or something and tie it into cellophane bags (along with a smaller gift, like a necklace). that way it wouldn't be just earrings, and the next time your mom goes to the grocery store, just be like, "can you get (ingredients for recipe)?" and that way it most likely won't be your money spent on it, depending on how your mom views things. for now, dig in the couch cushions. i make a lot of money from doing stupid stuff- one time my sister gave me five bucks for eating an entire lime, and another time she gave me ten bucks for doing the "soulja boy" dance in public at a cocktail party. i felt stupid, but it was worth it. also, go to target/walmart, and look at the clearance racks. target is really good for this stuff. they always have cute socks or notebooks and stuff for only like a dollar each. you can really load up on that cute stuff for not a lot of money whatsoever. also, you could burn cd's for people as well. just make a mix of your favorite songs and burn it to disc. it's better than buying everybody a fifteen dollar cd, that's for sure! also, those big boxes of movie theatre candy are generally cheap at target, and it makes you feel like you are giving somebody more stuff if you hand them a big box of candy along with whatever else. if you go for size of your gift versus price, then you will be good- big and cheap is key :)
My face..I don't know in my eyebrow area it's kinda like dandruff but on my face which I guess is skin falling off because it's dry.
You might tell me to moisturize my skin or put lotion on it but the thing is, my face is really oily AND really dry! =/
I do wash my face a lot but i reduced it to 3 times a day and it still isn't helping. I'm scared if I put lotion on my face it'll get even more oily.
It's really gross and distracting, some of it getting stuck on my hair and bangs, just gross.
Help please!
ohohoh, washing your face dries it out! don't wash it more than 2 times per day! and also, when you wash your face so much, it makes your face produce more oils (fact). that's because washing it dries out your face, and your skin overcompensates by producing oils. moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. it will feel gross but it's better than having a dandruff face. the oil is trying to help your skin so don't wash your face as much. natural oils are good for you- oils from your hands are not good to rub on your face. before you go to bed, don't wash your face as vigorously (if you normally use a washcloth, don't) and then moisturize heavily. when you wake up, it will probably be better. in the morning, wash your face (also not as vigorously) and then apply a little bit of moisturizer to the flaky areas. also, to help speed up the process, you might want to try an exfoliating facial scrub (but never in the morning), if you just happen to have these things lying around your house.
I have bought a new coat, i dont no wether to wear it to school or not on monday or wait until after xmas because my friends will go out and get it one very simalar which is very annoying as its really nice and different! I shouldnt have to not wear it on monday just because my friends will copy it as they usually do but I dont know what other way there is? Sounds very lame but its also exstremly annoying when your friends copy you, also when people compliment them on how lovely they look when you got if first grr?
wear it as soon as you can so that if somebody else buys it and wears it first, it won't look like you're copying them. i agree, it is annoying when people copy you, but you can't really do anything about it until they realize what a moron they are. but yeah, definitely wear it on monday. and if somebody buys the same one, then everybody will know that you had it first.
who's christina aguilera's husband? And is she pregnant?

yes
was marilyn monroe a singer? or just an actress? or what is she famous for and when and why did she die?
wikipedia.org
seriously.
what does debut album mean? Whats debu anyway? AND what does platinum mean? like
"6x platinum"?
or gold or silver or please teel m!
debut means first. when you make your debut, that is the first time you like perform or whatever. platinum, gold, and silver are ways of ranking how many albums you have sold. i'm not sure about the numbers (hey, wikipedia) but platinum is the best, then gold, then silver. it's kind of a big deal.
what does a "stae of mind" Mean?
point of view, or a certain way your mind functions
Okay I don't even know what me and my friend were talking about but somehow Tom Green came up and she told me he died?! Is this true? I mean I know he had cancer and stuff but she told me she saw on Drew Barrymore's E Hollywood Story that he was dead. Uhmm can someone clarify this? Please?
he is still alive, says wikipedia.
So I already asked a question about if you can put youtube vids on your ipod, and I know that you can. but can someone give me step by step procedures on how to do it? Like I know you have to convert it from FLV to AVI or something like that... but I need to know how do I get the video off of youtube, onto my computer? And also I'd like a program that is very good, free, and doesn't have any spam or viruses. Please give me your best opinions. THANK YOU!
http://www.wikihow.com/Watch-YouTube-on-Your-iPod
there are also a lot of good articles about how to put videos on your ipod. my favorite conversion site is media-convert.com because you don't have to download anything. i followed the instructions from wikihow and it worked for me. so if you have any more questions, send them to my inbox :)
I know there are such things as heating blankets, but are there cooling blankets? Is there a website where you can buy them? If there isn't such a thing, someone should invent it, cuz I would so totally buy one!
well, you can get ice packs or freezer packs. if you want the hot/cold sensation all at once, then try icyhot (but that's for muscle pain). maybe you should get a portable fan to carry around with you? haha.
[I know no one can give me a definate answer, I'm just looking for a vague estimation]
I'm a little bit chubby, not obese or anything [I'm naturally skinny I just eat too much and do no exercise]
So I went from doing no exercise and eating like a pig all the time to having track practice for an hour and a half 5 times a week, and eating well.
About how soon will I start seeing results? I only started Monday, but I can already feel my muscles toning up a little.
i would say anywhere from two weeks to a month. like you, i used to do no exercise, and then i started doing practices for four hours outside in the texas/august heat five times a week. the main thing is to drink a lot of water since you are now exercising a lot- you don't want to get dehydrated. and track is a really great sport for getting in shape because it works all of your muscles, so when you do start seeing more results, it will be all over, not just in your legs (though it does wonders for your legs too). since you are practicing so much, you will probably have trouble not losing weight- that's what happened to me. i lost like eight pounds in the course of three weeks, and i just kept losing weight. i doubt you will have to change your diet at all to see results, unless you just really want to be the size of a pencil or something.
My dogs are small and I'm worried about the cold weather. Are they okay out there? I mean I went outside around 3am and it was freezing! I already have dog houses with their own heating pads, should that be enough? They aren't allowed inside at night.
i would say no, depending on where you live. call your local vet, and just ask them on the phone what is the best thing to do. it will be free if it's just a phone call, and they probably get questions like that all the time anyway. better safe than sorry!
To kind of sum this up, I'm doing a school project and I'm creating a book about the relationship between a little girl and her dying grandfather. It's a childrens book, about 25 pages, 3-4 sentences a page, illustrations, etc. I've decided to donate about 5-10 copies to the clinic where this man goes (he has a disease that's killing him). My mom said I should probably get it copyrighted, just in case someone would be cruel enough to steal it. It's a really good book and we're actually hoping to get it published. In the mean time I think it is a good idea to get it copyrighted for safety reasons.
My question is how do I go about doing this? Who do I contact? Does it have to be published and a published has to copyright it? Do I contact someone and they do it, if so, who?
Pretty much, if you have ever had anything copyrighted, a website, a book, anything whatsoever.. who do I contact and how do I go about it.
I'm 17/f but my parents can help me do this if I'm too young or something.
Thanks in advance!
anything you do is copyrighted- anything you post online, you turn in to your teacher, et cetera. this means that your work is automatically protected, so that somebody can't steal it. copyright isn't like a patent, where you have to apply for it and all this stuff. all you have to do is put on the inside cover "copyright 2007 your name" and you will be good. actually, you don't even have to do that. if somebody recreates your work or steals it, you can take them to court no matter if you put a copyright logo in your book or not. don't worry, any work you do is automatically copyrighted, and if somebody infringes upon that, you can take them down with no problems :)
