I have a small bedroom. Does anyone have any
tips on how I can make it look bigger?

center the bed on one wall, and keep it clean, junk makes a room look smaller.
The less stuff you have in there, the bigger it will look, but the more plain it will look, also, so find a balance between the two.

do you know where i could find a job that hires at 14?

you could mow people's lawns, etc.
You don't have to be a certain age to do that, you just have to know how to use a lawnmower.

I recently bought a large potted plant.
The problem is with my cat. He now feels
that this plant is a good place to go potty.

He is an indoor cat and he has a litter box he
has used for years. Since I got the plant though,
he would much rather use it!

He is slinging dirt all over the place and
I am sure his digging in there isn't helping
my new plant.

Any suggestions on how to get him back
into the litter box without having to
get rid of my plant?

The cat goes potty in the plant, because it's in his instincts. That's were wild cats go, so he just knows that. Think about it, if you were a cat, would you rather go potty in gritty litter that sticks to your paws, or would you rather go on soft, moist dirt?
As for a solution, you can get chemicals that will make the cat not like the plant, but those might kill the plant, or you could just get rid of the plant.

ok .. so i'm a swimmer & have been since i think august??i mainly joined bkuz i thought it'd help loose those couple of pounds that i needed and just i'd be leaner. I'm most definitely leaner and i've definitely lost weight but where i wanted to loose it i'm not loosing it.it drives me nuts!!!and ugh i just can't stand it. i don't eat alot of junk just like 3 meals and then a couple snacks. so i dno but it's just my tummy and my inner tighs that is killin me!!please help =)

you have to gain muscle to lose fat.
I don't know about weight, but it will help you lose fat.
Swimming is the best sport to exercise, you have to use all your muscles to swim, but if you're trying to pinpoint a particular place in your body, you might be better off doing exercises everyday.

when i straighten my hair (on a daily basis), after a long day it flips and waves at the bottom because i tuck my hair behind my ears pretty often. but my birthday is coming up and i can ask for a chi straightener. i was wondering if they really are worth the money and would prevent my hair from "unstraightening" during the day? also, any recommendations as to which one i should get (in the chi line) would be helpful. (:

I don't know about the straightener, but really the only ways to prevent that curl from behind your ear is to use hair gel in that spot, or stop pushing your hair behind your ear.
I have the same problem! lol!

Hope I helped!

EX:This poem is about my good close friend moved yesterday...=/ im really sad so i wrote this i need your honest opinion and i want you to correct it thank you so much =]



You told me your moving miles away
I couldn’t say anything, left me speechless Didn’t want to get hurt, so I tried to drift away
I was scared, it was like me trapped in the darkness
She began to notice, and asked me why I’ve been ignoring her
I knew I was avoiding her but I denied and said her “I’m not “
I tried to act so cold like I didn’t care, and avoided her like she was a stranger
But the pain is getting stronger each day and its hurting me like I was shot

Time passes by, it seems like we don’t really talk anymore
But I thought about the good and bad times we had
Like we always talk to each other and talked about deep thoughts…before
But now we don’t, what happened?It was my fault for distancing myself from you I felt bad

So I wrote her a goodbye letter, and gave it her with my teary eyes
Trying not to be sad and pretending I’m okay
Tomorrow is her last day, and my mind was fulled with goodbyes
I couldn’t sleep, my heart was being so fast like I was being chased by a lion in railway


Last time I’m gonna see her, I told myself not to cry and say bye
When the bell rang, my heart was already pounding I couldn’t take it
My teardrops starting to come out and I began to cry
More than I thought, she tried to cheer up but she couldn’t so she quit

She left me behind, I was blaming myself for everything
I didn’t want to cry she turned back one last time
I regret everything I did and I’m still crying
It was like a rain, teardrops wont stop falling in school time
I found myself thinking….
One day, I’ll see my friend again and be happy again someday, sometime…

What Happened?

Though that was the truth, I fibbed saying “I’m not"
I acted so cold like I didn’t care
And avoided you like a stranger
But the pain grows stronger each day like being shot over and over.

Time passes by, it seems we don't talk anymore
I still think of our good and bad moments.
We would always talk to each other and talked about deep thoughts, before
But now we don’t, what happened?

So, gushing tears, I wrote you a goodbye letter
I gave it to you pretending to be O.K.
Tomorrow is your last day, and my mind was fulled with goodbyes
I couldn’t sleep, my heart was racing as if I were being chasing by a train

would drinking nettles tea help allergies?

probably, but another way to help with allergies is to eat honey that was harvested somewhere nearby where you live.

does anyone know where in new york, pennsylvania, new jersey, and surrounding states in the northeast coast can you find

japanese clothes?

thanks!

eBay!
I'm guessing by Japanese clothes you mean like kimonos and stuff...
If you want those really pretty and elaborate clothes, type in cosplay in eBay.

pl i know it might be in the wrong category but i am really sorry. k so my hair is really dry and poofy. so i only blow dry it becase its easier then making it curly or wavy with gel. gel doesnt work!!1 what else can i use thats not expensive on my hair and that would work well, and not leave my hair poffy? my friend told me about hair glue thats a product. ayone useed it? is it good? thanks for the help. dont wory i rate!.

No blow dying would help, unless you use the cold setting.
Heat on wet hair causes breakage. for wavy hair, you could get a large curler, and use that, it works fine for me!

Hope I helped!

So, I had a chocolate, and well, they're horrible. Mine broke while still under warranty, so I got a new one free. Now I can get a completely different phone, but I figured I would just sell the free chocolate I was sent and never used. My question is, if I sell the phone I never used, would the person I sell it to have it with my number programmed in when they registered the applications? When I looked at the receipt, I noticed that the chocolate I had never used was registered to my number. If it is, in fact, programmed with my current number in it, how can I change that? Thank you very much!

I'll add on to the previous post:
No, your number won't be programmed into the phone, there should be a SIM card that you place next to the battery that basically says that it's you calling from that phone. Without the SIM card, the phone is just a phone. They did that because like for landlines, you have to have the wires connected from the phone box into the phone, or else the phone is just a phone, the wires give you service because you're paying for the service. For cell phones, they had to have something like that, or else the whole getting a new phone thing would be messy, once you didn't want your first phone, and you got a new one, the first one would still work, and so would the new one.
That might not make sense but, oh well, I wrote it.

Hope I helped

and this is what i want to look like...

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t202/SRH6306/untitled.jpg


I wish i looked like that how can I make myself look like that?

Please help!

work out, like do 25 sit-ups (not crunches), and work your way up each night, along with a few other exercises, you can find some online.
I don't know a fast way of losing weight, but good exercise and eating ONLY healthy foods (preferably only fresh veggies and meat, when factories process things, they add unnecessary fats, sugars, and preservatives).

Hope I helped!

Last night I kept going in and out and it was FREEZING but I rugged up, but I can feel a cold coming.

How can I prevent it? Without buying stuff of course. Like some home remedies or things to do.

You might just keep away from people for a while, and (sorry, you have to buy these) decongestants, like the generic brand of Mucinex.
Keep your feet and hands extra warm at all times.
I'm guessing you're in a cold place, because it's boiling here!
The less contact you have with public places (such as a public bathroom), the less chance you have of actually getting a cold.

14/f

I have a really bad posture. My mom says that my shoulder are rolled over so my shoulder blades stick out. i try so hard to keep a good posture so my back is straight, but i'm always slumping over.

How do i fix this?

Practice! Whenever you are sitting down, straighten your back up and push your shoulders back. After a while, you won't even need to think about it, you'll just immediately keep your shoulders back.

Theres this one song in the movie 'Click' with Adam Sandler that I am trying to find the name of. It plays when he is flashing back to his father. It seems like a sad emotional song. One of the lines is something like 'you've got me wrapped around your fingertips', and I tried googling that but the song did not come up. I also went on movie websites to see the songs on Click's sound track, and the song wasn't even there. Please help me find the name of this.

This site has a list of the songs on the movie, but I don't know which one you were looking for.

I want to use Sun-In, the hair lightener.
1) Does it work? How efficiently?
2) How much does it cost
3) Where could I buy itt
4) Anybody know any other hair lighteners that work well OR better??
5) Does using lemons work?
THAAANKKKSSS♥♥♥♥♥

1) Yes, it works, tanning with your hair exposed to the sun helps. The resulting color depends on how much you spray in your hair.
2)Sorry, I don't know
3) Just about anywhere in the hair care section.
4) You could just buy hair dye, like highlights. When I got highlights, the dye cost less than $5.
5) Not sure, you'd probably be better off using hair dye, there's not much difference in the price of a bag of lemons and a box of hair dye.

ok so right now i feel like my mom totaly doesnt trust me right now and it pisses me off because everytime i ask to hangout with my friends or something she thinks were doing bad stuff and i know that she thinks i did some bad stuff because the chcik i was hanging out with does that stuff but i'm trying to stop doing stuff and change my life but everytime i try it's like she just makes me want to do more stuff like that because she thinks i'm doing stuff and i know i shouldnt want to do bad stuff like drugs or alcohal but i mean right now in my life i feel like i can trust anyone like i barely have any TRUE friends and like i'm trying to change but people wont let me what am i supposed to do

Invite your friends over to your house when your mom is home (with her permission) and openly do stuff around her, and let her know that you guys aren't doing any illegal stuff or whatever.
