1. You're not obese; just slightly overweight. Assuming you're 5"3 and around 143 lbs., then you have a BMI 25.3. You're only obese if your BMI is 30 or higher. So that makes things a little bit better. : )

2. Here's my personal guide:

a. FOOD RESTRICTIONS: Eat several small meals about FIVE times a day. Make sure that when you have carbs (pasta, rice, etc.) that it's ONE OUNCE. That's about the size of a fist. SHOP AT NATURAL FOOD STORES or in the NATURAL FOOD AISLE. That means foods with little or no added sugar, no high fructose corn syrup (ever!), no trans fats, and no sat fat EXCEPT for dairy and meat items that naturally have sat fat. Your dinner is fine. Lunch: For your soup, make it CHUNKY VEGGIE soup (no corn syrup) and THREE Saltines. Breakfast: Is bad now. Try TWO egg whites and ONE piece of toast. Snack: Try a fruit smoothie that you can make with a blender YOURSELF with NO ADDED SUGAR with fruits like strawberries, blueberries, etc. You are alloted some chocolate. Try having one of those little Ghiradeli (sp?) chocolates when you have a craving. But just one, and one only at a maximum of once every two days.

b. EXERCISE: Walks, 20 min. after dinner and 15 min. before/after breakfast. Try some aerobic moves for about 20 min. or so after work (aerobic DVDs are available and not too expensive.)

c. TIPS: When drinking juice, have 6 oz. of juice and 2 oz. of water COMBINED to cut calories. Dancing. Go out dancing with friends, but bring a healthy snack with you since there is NO FAST FOOD ALLOWED, including McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Chili's, Applebee's, TGI Friday's, and wherever else. Also, NO ALCOHOL. I know you're like 17 and underage, but just making sure.

d. TIME FRAME: January 3rd to February 5th to be 130 pounds.

Good luck. If you ever need any advice on your diet or help feel free to message me.

P.S. Here's a guide to physical activities: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/obesity/lose_wt/phy_act.htm

1. She died in a plane crash in Camden, Texas, along with three other country musicians of that time in 1963 at the age of 30.
2. I don't understand your second question (but you can message me if you can re-word it).
3. "Crazy (Single Version)", "Walkin' After Midnight" and "Sweet Dreams (Single Version)".
4. Actually, I think LeAnn Rimes sounds a bit like Patsy Cline, just more slow-paced. I had to listen to both of them a couple of times, though, to see the similarity.
5. The original release date of "Blue" was in 1996, but was released again in 2003 in her greatest hits album.

That L.L. Bean one. It is so timeless and though it's $100, it will last you forever. Forget about going with almost everything you wear, it will go with everything and anything.

No, not always. The tip that you would've put on the table is included in the bill, then you have already paid the tip. But if the service was something special, feel free to put five to ten dollars for the waiter.

Merry Christmas.

No, she's not pregnant. If there was anything on your finger, it was dead. The mobility of sperm is impared after a few minutes exposure to air. Therefore sperm on your fingers will not be all the viable. She would also need to be fertile - which is about 4 days long in most women's cycles. You would also need a sperm to swim up into her cervix and locate the egg. In a normal conception the sperm have help by being ejaculated up and then have large numbers to locate the egg. The small amount of ejaculate does not have this advantage.

As far as I know, no. She attended Cold Spring Harbor Jr./Sr. High School in Long Island a few years after her role in "The Parent Trap", then attended Sanford H. Calhoun High School for a few months before resuming her acting career.

Merry Christmas!

Either or? Well, the second one is SO pretty. I actually saw something SIMILAR to it on the Gap website: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=13658&pid=498455

I know it's not the exact same one, but it is just darling and extremely similar. You can even check out Gap's other ones: http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5733

I would go with the one in the first link. It is so pretty. I might just get one for myself. : )

As for the first dress you had in your question, I don't know, but I think it doesn't look as nice as the second one.

Merry Christmas.

-Change your socks daily.
-Wash your feet everyday.
-Sprinkle baby powder/baking soda in your shoes in the morning.
-Keep your nails short.
-Breathable socks.
-Keep your feet COMPLETELY dry. That's the real secret to prevent nasty odor.

Happy holidays.

1. NAUTICA: Nautical themes and stripes. Don't go overboard! Subtlely add hints of nautical theme.
2. BRIGHT, BOLD COLORS: Go for big bold colors like bright yellow or cherry red. Just balance it so it doesn't look too blinding.
3. "FLAPPER" LOOK: Go for straight lines that de-emphasize your body's shape.
4. EXOTIC SKIN BAGS: Animal prints on big bags. Clutches will be a thing of the past.
5. HIGH-WAISTED PANTS: Go the high-waisted '40's chic look, not the mom-jean look.
6. MILITARY JACKETS: Head for that military look with cargo pockets and ties.
7. COLORFUL TIGHTS: Are they ever not a trend?

That's basically what trend alerts all say. As for me, I have stuck and will stick to my Polo brand sweaters, khakis and Top-siders. LOL.

I was in Borders and I browsed through it for a bit, and thought it was empty and shallow. HOWEVER, some others seem to think differently: http://www.amazon.com/Poseur-1-Rachel-Maude/dp/0316065838/ref=tag_tdp_sv_edpp_i
(Go down to the customer reviews of the book.)

I don't really read trash novels, but I do enjoy watching "Gossip Girl" on the CW. If you do like those kind of books, I think you should buy it. It's not too expensive and I think you read the first chapter or so in the bookstore, see if you like it, then buy it if you like it. That's normally what I do.

Happy Holidays.

I feel silly typing things down here, so I'll give you links:

Second link is pretty good. : )

Have fun! Merry Christmas.

I don't know if it was real, but one time my friends used an Ouija board while I watched, but nothing really happened besides the little thing moving around from the letters. I really think that seances are just scams, since I don't believe in life after death besides Heaven and Hell. Here's a Wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seance

I sometimes watch this show "A Haunting", and this one time, these people tried to contact a spirit using an Ouija board, then burned it, and then a medium said that made the spirit angry, then they had to get an exorcism since the spirit was so evil. It's supposedly "real", but I seriously don't think so.

If you want to perform a "seance" then on the link I gave, you there are various ways on how.

Happy Holidays.

Water. Gatorade replenishes electrolytes and energy, but is only really useful if you're running 6 miles straight, or just sip it to renew the electrolytes you lose when you're sick.

Yeah, actually, Slice of Heaven Pizzeria is a real place. I do only know of one in Portland, Oregon: http://www.sliceofheaven.biz/

On the contrary, "slice of heaven" is just a name that anyone can use. Like "What's on your slice of heaven?" is just a question that you can be asked just to describe your perfect pizza. It is very likely that the one in "Clique" is made-up.

I suppose you COULD make pizzas like this (satisfaction not guaranteed) by adding the ingredients like pomegranate seeds in the sauce. As far as I know, though, Slice of Heaven in New York is a fictional pizzeria. Note that ginko and pomegranate are not proven to upgrade you, so don't be disappointed.

Nothing's wrong. You just feel really sexually attracted to this guy. I DO suggest that you actually meet him though. Some people are more "sensitive" to sexual thoughts than others. It means that you orgasm more easily than some. Not abnormal. I hope you take my advice to heart. You'll never get in bed with him if you never meet him. : ) Merry Christmas.

Girls: Skinny jeans. Every clique wears them, and they're so stylish.

Guys: Button-down shirts. It's not a trend that I have at my school, but I wish it was since it's hot. Also Ramones T-shirts. I just like them. :)

I think that's a sweet gift. With guys, it mostly IS the thought that counts, not how much you spent on it. He'll be happy to see that you got a gift that means something special. Don't worry about it. Merry Christmas!

That's okay. : ) Here's a guide to grinding: http://www.ehow.com/how_2120480_grind.html

1. Shampoo and condition your hair normally.
2. Now towel-dry it. Do not rub it, but squeeze out the excess water and pat until it's damp. (But not dripping wet.)
3. Apply a mousse (or spray hairspray) to the roots of your hair.
4. Grab a chunk of hair, squeeze it (a smaller chunks = tight curls, loose chunks = loose curls)and crinkle it by pushing it up toward the top of your head. Do this until you're done with all of your hair.
5. Keep grabbing, squeezing and pushing until the hair is air-dried. (Or you can use a blow dryer.)

-Don't EVER EVER EVER brush your hair after. You'll looked like you got electrified.
-If your hair is fine or straight, use a curl defining product along with the mousse.

If you need to know how to do anything, always check eHow.com, which is a site that's good when you don't want to waste someone's time.

Hope I helped! : )

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)

Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.

Have a nice day!
Love,
missbananafontana
