can u plant flowers and plants beside each other in a garden?? or do the roots get all up on the flower? have u ever done this?? (link)
Sometimes; it just depends on the plant. If you're plant is going to be large, like okra, I suggest plant them farther apart.

Hey,

whenever I shave my legs I get cuts on my knees because I am really skinny and have kinda knobbly knees. My knees are really rough and bumpy with or without moisturizer and I cant get to the bottom of the hair when shaving without cutting myself.

Is there a technique or product I can use to get supersoft hair-free knees?

ty luv Rachel x (link)
I have that & I haven't found a REAL solution, but here is what I do. Straighten your leg so that you have more skins so it doesn't cut to the bone, and then shave sideways. like across the knee. that's what i do & it works.

When you post a bulletin in Myspace, some people have certain words bolded, underlined, and in italics. How do they make it like that? Is there a certain code or something? Thanks. (link)
< b > BOLD < / b >
< u > UNDERLINE < / u >
< i > ITALICS < / i >

Without the spaces.

I have aol and would like to erase some of my history (nothing dirty... all my history just takes up space and makes my computer s...l...o...w) but when I click the little green arrow and my history comes down but there is no "erase my history" button like there should be. does anyone know another way to erase history like ctrl alt something or ctrl + blank? i did it once before but I don't know how. thanks for your answers!!! (link)
TWO WAYS:
1. Click the History Icon at the top. [Clock with green arrow] Right click -> Delete the things that need to be deleted.
2. Pull up your internet browser. Click TOOLS at the top. [File-Edit-View-Favorites-TOOLS-Help] Then click INTERNET OPTIONS. It should then pull up under the tab GENERAL. Click CLEAR HISTORY.

Does Witch Hazel really help acne/pimples? I have a bottle of it but I don't know if I should waste my time. Has anybody tried it, and did it work? (link)
Yeah I have it too & it does.

all summer ive been on my computer and i cant get off of it.. im jus ttoo addicted. is there any way i can get off? i mean, i know i can.. i just get soo bored i just come on my computer. (link)
Think about your future. 1. It can seriously damage your eyes, from seeing that darn screen everyday. 2. You're losing your social skills. It's going to be alot harder to talk to people in person because you won't know how to act and stuff. 3. Set a goal. Say you're only going to have 2- 10 minute conversations on aim.. or you're going to only CHECK your myspace & not view other peoples & only leave 2-3 comments or just check your email and email 2-3 people back. Also, find ways to keep yourself busy. Drawing, painting, reading, watch movies, go to the movies, go outside, take pictures, re-decorate your room, make a scrap book, decorate coffee cans for fingernail polish bottles, (im assuming you're a girl) cook, make different drinks with blenders & fruit, make cakes, decorate your shoes with paint & permanent markers, talk to friends, play solitare, play cards with your brother or sister. ENDLESS POSSIBILITES!

I am a guy, 32 years, even though people say I look and act 25. On May 9 2006, I met this 21 year old girl when she came for a 10-day workshop in my film school from another university some 3 hours drive from my film school. She is in her 3rd year. She gave me the impression that she liked me, always hanging around me, and I started to give her my time. I really got to like her afterwards. She told me she had no boyfriend, as her previous boyfriend, who was a student in her school had graduated and left the town and wasn’t calling her frequently enough the way she wanted and they tended to drift apart. Time could not permit us to start sleeping together before she returned to her school. She told me she was not good with long distance relationship but we agreed to give it a try. We exchanged phone calls everyday, with me doing most of the calling, but then she beeped (flashed) me very often whenever she wanted me to call. About first week of June she stopped beeping (flashing) me like she used to, even though I continue to call her regularly. I wondered if she wasn’t as enthusiastic about our relationship like before. I’ve visited her once and she promised to visit me in my school but she doesn’t until I graduated from my film school last month and left the town. I once told her that it seems we are not as imitate as before and she says it is because she has doubts that I can handle a long distance relationship. When I promised to play my part right, she promised to play hers too. In the last 9 days, I have been putting up in a town some 45 minutes drive from her school doing some screenwriting and I visited her once. She keeps saying she would come visit me in return but keeps saying she is not sure when, until she told me today that she will not come for reasons best known to her. I still do all the calling, she still doesn’t beep (flash) me always claiming she is broke, even when she is from a rich family. However, whenever we chat she sounds as friendly as ever. I have not slept with her or even kiss her, although I am not eager to, because I truly love her. I wonder if all is well, or if I am wasting me time on her. (link)
It's pretty much seems like she's losing interest. If ya'll could meet more often.. or if you could do something big to prove you really love her.. Or ya'll could have romantic day/picnic at the park and you could make a move. If that doesn't work you should probably give up, or atleast talk it out. Tell her "I really love you, but this isn't working out. If we can't talk more often or see each other mroe often, we should probably see other people." There are other fish in the sea. :)

Keep them away from each other and teach them about how God doesn't like fighting. You're supposed to love; not hate.

All of my clothes I buy stretch so easily. It's because they're all made of like thin fabric. It's not like I need a bigger size it's just that if I'm wearing it for a long time my shirts seem to get baggy and stretch out. Is there a certain detergent(?) I can use to help them go back to there normal tight fitting size? I'll try anything. Thanks! (link)
I have the same problem. Usually I just buy shirts in extra-small and by the end of the day they still look good. Also I think if you use fabric softener it makes the tensile weaker (more stretchy)... just my guess.

Hello,
We bought a used 1998 Seinna minivan from Toyota with their Gold Extra Care warranty. A spark plug blew in the engine which rendered the engine useless. They estimate the damage to be over $6000 dollars. Toyota Extra Care say they will not honor the warranty because it does not cover spark plugs. We have talked to Extra Care Toyota Relations and the dealership who sold us the car. They to refuse to do anything for us. What recourse do we have? Is there anyone we could talk to in Toyota that can help us?

Thank you for your time,

Mark stinga

look dude it's a spark plug those cost mayb a dollar to buy. and replacement is easy as hell to.now if it was the plug that blew along with the wire, and maybe the fuel injector for that point it might be $40 for parts. you're getting ripped off. $6000 my ass.

your first mistake is taking it to a dealer. never ever take your car to a dealer to get it fixed. they love making you wait in line, and charging $70 an hour to make you wait. then they love to give you crap about some random part not being the factory part just to give you more grief. i want you to find a friend who is a mechanic, or learn how to take care of such issues yourself. a dealer will rip you off, it's guaranteed. find a trustworthy mechanic, he'll fix anything with your car, and charge you fairly. i learned how to work on my cars so i know i trust my mechanic (me) but some people don't know a crankshaft from a camshaft and need some aid with their car from another source. so to you i say find a friend or neighbor who can help you out and never deal with the dealer's run-around.


i havent even made out with a guy yet. like ive been planning on to, but i guess it just hasnt happend. a few times i got peer pressured into it, but i would back away cause i dont wanna everyone there watching. i just get uncomfortable. i just want it to be the right moment with the right guy. and im only 13. is that normal that i havent hooked up with a guy yet? (link)
Seriously, there's nothing at all wrong with that. Save your first real kiss for someone special. I did, and I was 13, and I don't regret it at all because I love the person still very much and even though the kiss was terrible, it was with someone wonderful. Ignore the other kids, they're stupid sluts. By the way, "hooked up" means you slept with someone.


What do most people define as "hooking up"? (link)
omg...i hate when people say hooking up! so many people have different definitions of hooking up...like me i would think hooking up means having sex...but some people mean it as kissing or making out...so it just all depends..sorry if im not much help


ok like i have big bags or circles i dont know what there called under my eyes. and people say to get rid of them you have to get some more sleep. but all i do is sleep. like i go to bed around 10 pm or 11 pm then i wake up the next day at like 11 am. i get like 12 hours asleep per nite or even more. so i was just wonderin how do i get them to go away? i eman there not bg but there dark. it makes me look like bad or like im on drugs or whatever so it like changes my appearance. sorry if this is in the rong category. so... does anyone know like what to do?? thanks (link)
You probably have allergies. I always have bags under my eyes. Then my mom gave me Claritan (you can buy it anywhere, walgreens, walmart.. etc) and it helps allergies & gets rid of the bags. It helps you breath better and stuff too. It's HARMLESS! I promise :]

Hey, is it ok to knit on a plane if your just a teenage girl who shows no threat? (this is on continental going from jamaica to america non-stop) (link)
Most likely not. But if you decide to bring it, put the needle WITH the yarn and stuff, so they know you're not meaning harm.

Is blow drying bad for you hair?

Is shampoo bad for you hair?

Why?

Thanks guys! (link)
Shampoo- good. It gets the oils and dirt out of your hair. Blow Drying- bad. Heat is not good for your hair. Here are some sites you might like: http://www.unilever.com/ourbrands/beautyandstyle/articles/blowdryingandbrushingtips.asp

Is it safe to buy stuff from eBay? (link)
99% of the time. You might get tricked and they could not send it, or send it late, or lie about the appearance of it. But you could prevent that by simply reading their ratings. (The person you are buying from.)
