I am in this course called GIS and it is requiring us to do a project called road trip starting fro ma major west coast city ending in a major east coast city. I started from Portland OR then went to Salt Lake City UT, Santa Fe NM, Little Rock AK, Blacksburg, Virginia and Then ended in new York City, NY but I live in chicago. I know nothing about Portland or anywhere else and I want to be as specific as possible. can sombody please tell me something they love or hate about the states if you live in it to help me? Thank you (link)
| |
The best thing to do is to Google some review sites for each state. Or, go on to the state website. These sites are chalked full of fun places to visit for both tourists and locals, state birds, foods, flowers, etc., places to eat, and what locals have to say. For example, I typed Portland Oregon into Google and found this site: http://www.portlandonline.com/ Good luck! :)

my boyfriend wants to finger me but ive never been fingered before and i know him well so im sure he will be rough .. when he starts to make it hurt what should i say to make him slow down a bit?
and please dont tell me not to do it- or talk to him before. thanks! (link)
| |
Unfortunately, I am going to tell you to talk to him before. If the two of you are ready to be getting more intimiate you should feel very comfortable with one another. You should feel open to discuss what you like and dislike. Same goes when you're "in the act". If you don't like what he's doing..speak up. Tell him something simple, like "be gentle, or not so rough". Same goes with what you like, speak up so he knows. Most guys are clueless. If he cares about you, respects you he will completely understand. Just always remember to stick up for yourself and what you want--in any situation. :)

Here are some simple tips to help you:
-Try to get on a cycle of forcing yourself to get into bed at a decent hour similar to that of when you would go to bed for school.
-Turn off all distractions.
-Don't eat a big meal right before, or drink anything with caffeeine in it.
-Start your own dream.
It will take a few days, but you should start to get on track. :)

I got a camera around Christmas time and it's already messed up! The place where you put the batteries won't close and that's the only problem. I used to be able to put a hair tie around it to hold it and it was fine but now it got worse and I can't even turn on my camera for more than a second without it turning off. I took it to the place where I bought it but they wouldn't do anything about it. I can't get a new camera because this is the 4th one in 2 years.
My question is where can I take my camera to be fixed and about how much would it cost? (link)
| |
Well, from the sounds of what you have stated, you most likely didn't buy a warranty with the store you bought it with. However, all is not lost. Because you have not had the camera for a whole year, it is still under manufacturer warranty. Log on to our manufacturer's website for the customer repair or service number and they will walk you through the process. Even if it is something that they deem as being caused by your destruction they will offer a lower rate to fix it and you can trust they will do a quality job because they know their cameras best. Just make sure to follow all the right steps, insure the package when you send it, go to the store where you purchased the camera and asked for a copy of your receipt, and include a detailed letter of what was wrong with the camera and how it happened. Just be careful they don't try to give you a refurbished camera. But, you should be fine. Good luck. :)

I love go go music I listen to it on the radio all the time unfortunately I always have trying to find it on lime wire or the artist. I know alot of the old artist but it's harder to find the new ones. (link)
| |
Try doing a search on Yahoo Music, Launch, or even as simple as Google. MySpace is another good area to check, they always have new up and coming artists of any genre. :)

Is it okay if I can feel my tampon? I tried to push it in farther but it wouldnt go any more.
It's not painful, i can just tell that i have it in. (link)
|
In short, yes it is normal or natural to "feel" the tampon inside of you. There are several reasons for this:
When you first begin wearing tampons, your body needs time to adjust to it because in actuality you are inserting a foreign object.
Sometimes when the tampon is dry you can feel it inside, same goes when it absorbs a lot and becomes heavier.
Eventually, with time, and trials, you'll notice it less. Just make sure to always insert it by the directions (at an angle).

You know the "HOT or NOT" application on FaceBook?
Well... Lately a lot of guys have been adding me
and messaging me
I message them back, but mostly the conversations are just like hey whats up, nothing you, just chilling, thats cool hows your summer?
Like that.
But so far, this has happened with over 25 guys! My FB doesn't have any personal info, such as house or anything, but it DOES have my first and last name... and I would NEVER give out my address to any of them.
So am I safe? (link)
| |
While that is good you don't have too much person information about yourself on Facebook, there are still risks in chatting with others you may not know personally. Having your first and last name does leave oppurtunity for them to further find out more if they really wanted to. In addition, the network you belong to can give out information about you. For instance, your school, city, work, etc. Also, the other friends you do know in person on Facebook are an issue. These guys you are talking to can look at your friend's pages if they don't have their privacy settings heavily restricted and find out information about you based on what they may have on their page about you or similar to you. Be careful with what you post and to whom you speak with. I suggest not talking to so many people you don't know. You may want to edit some of your privacy settings/wall posts/pictures, etc. It's amazing how far some people will go to get what they want, so please be careful. :)

How can I keep my cool when dealing with a rude coworker? (link)
| |
So many people go through this same situation. We aren't always going to like everyone and like how they treat us. In a work environment and dealing with a rude coworker, the best thing you can do is to keep your distance. In addition, keep the relationship strictly professional. Sometimes it's hard not to lash out a comment back when they are rude to us, but that just allows the coworker to futher his rudeness. If you don't respond and ignore it, it decreases and then eventually stops. Also, when you have to interact with him, only discuss work related issues. I know sometimes it is our common nature to try to get on the rude coworker's "good side" so the habits will quit, but really, if you show them you don't have that kind of relationship, they won't try. And lastly, but most importantly, if the rudeness continues PLEASE speak up. First, sternly let your coworker know you don't like their ways and would like it to stop. If you have already done so or don't find improvement then take further action. I know it will seem like tattle tailing, but these are the kinds of issues that need to be brought to management's attention. I suggest going to your group's boss or manager before directly doing to HR, but if your boss doesn't do anything, then proceed to tell HR. For instance, the coworker's rude ways could be direct HR and Ethics violations. You have a right to speak up. Also, make sure to say if you are at fault as well. For example, if you make rude comments back, tell them "I'll be the first to say I say them right back, but I feel like it's gotten to a point that's enough..." Best of luck. :)

how do u say no to sex? (link)
| |
Although some may argue that it is not, it really is as simple as just saying NO. Say no to the other person, and say no to yourself. You know what your limits are and what you are comfortable doing. Sometimes we convince ourselves sex is so much less complicated than it really is. It is a big deal though. You need really think about all the aspects that come into play with having sex (Pregnancy, Reputation, STDS, etc). You get stronger every time you don't give in. People will respect you more if you say no. Just because everyone else is "doing it" doesn't mean you do too. Be an individual. Our integrity and dignity are one of the very few things we will always have in this world, and we often sell it for way too cheap. Stay true to who you are, don't let anyone tell you different. If someone you tell no has a problem with that, walk away, you don't need that. :)

What do you say to someone who you love dearly when a member of their family dies? I'm sorry doesn't help I know that, but I feel like all I'm doing is just being next to him, not really helping. (link)
| |
You're right; in a situation like that "sorry" doesn't really fix what has happened for them. The best thing you can do is just to simply express your condolences and lend your support. At the same time though, it is important to give that person their space to think and mourn. Let them know that you respect their need for healing time, but that when they are ready, you'll be there to lend a hand, ear, shoulder, whatever it may be. In addition, sending a sympathy card and/or flowers is also nice. Often times it is also nice to bring a homecooked meal by for comfort. Time is the only true healer. When they are maybe ready to "get out" of their grieving stage, try to take their mind off of the tragedy. Do something silly or fun. Make them something. Etc. Just be supportive. :)

I am starting college this fall and I need to know what kind of supplies I should buy. I know I'll need my textbooks, pens/pencils & paper, but what are the other necessities for an English writing class and a Math class? Answers from people who are already in college would help. Thanks in advance. (link)
|
Well, usually for the first day or so the professors aren't going to hound you if you don't have all your supplies. Usually they will provide you with a syllabus that dictates all of that to you. Each teacher and class will vary. But to be ahead of the game, keep these things in mind/get:
-A daily planner or organizer to write down due dates and assignments
-Highlighters, sticky notes/tabs to notate important points in readings
-note cards to make flash cards
-Blue Books and a variety of count scantrons
-graphing calculator
-a five subject spiral for taking notes
A quick tip: Avoid buying any small item supplies at your school book store; they are usually way over priced!
Also, try looking for textsbooks online at places like Textbooks.com or Amazon.com for lower prices!
If you are going away to school don't forget your dorm supplies as well. :)

i have 2.83 in end of the freshman year is 2.83 GPA is bad? is like C or C+ im pretty much worried is my GPA bad? thank you (link)
|
Well, usually most schools run on a 4.0 or 5.0 scale. Having a GPA in the 2 point something range is generally considered a C average. Since you earned this during the course of your freshmen year, you still have great chances of bringing it up in the future. It will impact your future grades though keep in mind. Here are some tips for when you go back to school in the fall:
-write down assignments in a planner to keep track of everything
-take good notes
-review your notes a little bit each night
-take short breaks when studying
-ask questions if you are confused
-go to tutorials if offered
-get in a study group
-don't procrastinate
Don't worry too much about your GPA at this point. It's not ruined or anything. You have plenty of time and ways to improve. :)

alrighty this could be long so bear with me
well hello everybody, how are you?
i'm pretty good, except for one little thing
little bit of backstory here:
a couple of years ago *two, to be exact* i volunteered at a camp so i could get my 20 service hours for 8th grade *i ended up with like...100*. well i met this girl that was also volunteering there, and we became friends over the summer, and did some things as friends with a group until around christmas. then we sort of just stopped talking- we weren't mad at each other, we just became really really busy. so i saw her at random places throughout the last year and a half or so, but never really talked to her a whole lot
well fast forward to now, and i've begun to volunteer at the camp again- and guess who's there! yep, the same girl! and she looks beautiful and is just such a nice person, but i can't seem to talk to her- everytime i get a chance i freeze up and can't keep the conversation going (it doesn't help that she's in a swimsuit, either- she only works on pool days). so what can i do? i think she kinda likes me because she was trying to get the extremely annoying little 8 year olds to leave us alone for a while so we could have some alone time, but they wouldn't so we never really got to be alone...
so what can i do? i have her AIM SN but she hasn't been on in a while...
i was thinking about asking her to go see a movie this weekend or sometime next week...would that be a bad idea? i am just completely retarded when it comes to this kind of thing and any help is greatly appreciated!
thank you very much for you help/opinion
by the way i am 15/m and she's 15/f (link)
| |
Asking her to see a movie would be a great idea! Don't call it or date or anything like that though. Just be casual. Simply say something like: "Oh hey I've been wanting to see that movie ____ would you maybe like to go with me?" This way she will get the hint that you want to spend some more time with her outside of camp, but you aren't being too forward by just asking her out on a date. When the two of you go to the movies, check to see if she gives off any signs. See if she kind of dresses up, is flirting, seems nervous, laughs a lot, stuff like that. Even if she seems totally uninterested at least you will have found out this was rather than getting straight shot down. Or, hopefully, you'll see that she's interested in you too and you can build from there. Also, obviously before you do all this striking up small conversation with her will need to happy. For that, just keep it simple. Talk about the kids at camp, the whether, common interests, etc. This way, when you ask her to the movies it doesn't come out of nowhere. And one other thing, you could also try casually saying to her, hey I was on AIM the other day, but you weren't; I was kind of bummed, it would have been fun to chat with you. This way she also gets the subtle hint. :)

basically i suck at holding a conversation. whenever i talk to someone, i come up short for things to talk about. and when i do talk, its usually about something boring lol. so what im asking is for advice on how to create conversation and keep it going so im not boring. thank you! (link)
|
There are several things you can do to strike up a decent conversatiion and even more so, to keep one going and interesting. Starting with small talk/chit chat is good at first. When you are conversing with someone, try:
- telling them a fun story about an experience you've had
-find something you may have in common and branch off from there
-food is always a good tangent to go off on
-anything about pop culture
-ask lots of questions.(don't be intrusive, rather, curious/interested)
-listen (that is probably one of the most important elements)
-try not to think about it too much, just like it flow.
:)

ok so you know how people get made fun of and other stuff and then they get low self esteem and what not well how do you get a better self esteem ????like be happier with your self (link)
| |
Unfortunately during the course of almost all of our lives we are going to get put down, made fun of, etc. The key is to not let it get to you that badly. I know that is so much easier said than done. But, it is possible. Individuals that choose to pick on other people are simply acting out of severe immaturity and personal insecurities. The bad part is, the person getting made fun of let's it drag them down as well. You have to force yourself to stay positive. Compliment yourself. Confidence is a good thing. It can be very attractive to others. You know who you are and so do your good friends, family, and any other people you choose to spend your time with and sourround yourself with. Hard as it may be, brush off what the other people say. If you show that it is getting a rise out of your or affecting you, they'll continue. No reaction results in an end to it all. Going along with the compliment thing, I would suggest this: every day, write yourself a little "pick-me-up" note. Try writing it on a sticky note and placing it on your bathroom mirror or some place you go by frequently. Remind yourself of all your great characteristics. It's okay to have flaws, and it's even okay for others to point those out to us sometimes, but not if it is with malicious intent. In addition, next time someone puts you down or makes fun of you, compliment THEM. Don't insult them as well. You would simply be stupping to their level. Another suggestion would be to splurge on yourself. Go get a new hair cut, by a new fun outfit, have a girls day out with your closet friends, read a motivating book, find a new hobby. Remember, you are your own worst enemey in the end. :)

how do you know if you are being annoying while texting? or know if the person is actually interested? how do you know when the person you're talking to doesn't want to talk to you? (link)
| |
Well, sometimes with texting and/or IMing it can be very difficult to discern whether or not the person actually wants to be talking to you. Simple because, the communication isn't verbal and direct. Usually though, if the person responds with condensed answers like: OK, Cool, Ya it gives the indication the person is simply replying to be polite. If they provoke a question on their own then you know they are really interested. Just to be on the safe side you can always ask "Are you busy", or "Is now a good time". Don't try to have an elaborate or important conversation with someone over texts because that gets frustrating and annoying. Use it for quick notes and you should be just fine. :)

My boyfriend's sister's graduation party is this Sunday. He and I have been together for about a year and a half so I know his sister pretty well. Its not like we're best friends or anything but we'll say hi at school and joke around when we're together and stuff. So she wants me to come. Im trying to think if I should just get her a card or should I get her a present? Even people's friends get eachother cards so i dont know if there's a need to get her a present. Any suggestions as for a yes or no, or even ideas for a present are appreciated =] (link)
|
Well, you don't want to show up empty handed. You should get her a card congragulating her and some type of gift. You could give her any of the following:
-Gift card for places she likes or for a salon
-Cash
-Something for her dorm if she's going away to school
-Some cute summer stuff
:)

I posted a question on here a couple days ago saying that I had this friend who I liked but we live extremely far away from eachother and I didn't think it would work out.. Well anyways I went to a boarding school this year and I met him there, we became instantly friends. I had an eatting disorder this past year and he stuck with me the entire time. We still kept in touch after I left school, and he wanted me to come visit. Well yesturday he was going to fly home he lives in Washington and I live in NY. So I left him a message on AIM, thinking he would get it when he got to Washington. Well his away message comes up, and it says "I love you Alyssa and I can't wait to see you" (by the way my name isn't Alyssa). So I guess he's had this girlfriend for a couple months, and he never told me. Now it wasn't like we were dating, but he told me he liked me as more then friends. And I drove 2 hours to go friggen see him, and he never bothered to tell me he had a girlfriend. I'm crushed yes, angry yes, but at the same time I just want to still be in his life. Like I want him to still talk to me and everything, and I still want to visit him in Washington. So I tried calling him and he didn't pick up. I assume that he is busy seeing since he hasn't been home in like a year or whatever. But I don't know if I should just move on, or still try and be friends. And please don't tell me do what my heart tells me to do.. Thanks! :)

Well you have every right to feel crushed like you said. That can be really devastating. He was dishonest with you and that's not right. If he cares about you and respects you and values your relationship (platonic or romantic) he should be upfront with you. In his defense though, maybe it was kind of like the "don't-ask-don't-tell-policy." However, even if that is the case he shouldn't have told you he liked you as more than a friend. Keep in mind that it is HIGHLY likely that you were occupying his time while he was at school and then he likes going back to his girlfriend when he goes home. I do think you should mention how you are feeling to the guy. Tell him that you feel lead on, mislead, and frankly, used. Let him know that you are hurt, but are respectful of the fact that he has a girlfriend and that when the school year starts you will be fine just being friends with him. After that, take the rest of the summer to allow yourself to heal from this and learn to deal with how it is going to be like when you go back to school in the fall. Then, when you are seeing each other again, make sure to keep it on a friend basis, constantly reminding him that that is all you are. I don't think you should visit him over the summer because that will not allow you to heal completely and can confuse things more. In the future, just be careful with who you open up to. :)

so, how do you get rid of a decent sized keloid on the back of your cartilage?
...without seeing a doctor? [expensive!]
will 'time heal all'? (link)
| |
Usually you get a keloid scar due to some type of trauma to a certain area. The keloid arises usually directly on or near the trauma. I suspect that since the keloid is on your back cartilidge, you maybe got that area recently pierced. If such is the case, you have to take the piercing out. That is the only way the keloid will stop growing and reduce its size and appearance. After you take out the piercing the keloid will go down substantially, but if you don't, it will continue to be there. :)
