I need help finding a dress or a casual outfit to wear to my cousin's wedding.

I would prefer buying it online over buying it at a store.

It's an October wedding in Minnesota, so it will be cold out... :S

Any ideas?

this dress is really nice, but since it will be cold, you could wear a (hopefully faux) fur wrap around your shoulders :)

try this site, they have casualish dresses, but not too casual.

It hurt f0r a sec0nd and I sat d0wn f0r ab0ut 7 mins and it didn't hurt any m0re s0 with my stupidness, I g0t up and played again f0r ab0ut 5 mins. After that, practice was thankfully 0ver. It started t0 gradually get w0rse as the night went 0n. Well that was ab0ut a month and a half ag0. Its still hurting! I s0metimes jus rand0mly starts hurting when I'm walking! I have an ankle brace. It d0esnt hurt when I d0 track, s0metimes ballet & s0ccer. Is it 0k? Why is it still hurting? What am I d0ing wr0ng?

Use Ice, and don't put pressure on it, should be better in a week or two.

Als0 please d0n't type like this because it is s00000 ann0ying t0 read.

It might seem ''cool'' but it isn't.

Lately, I've noticed my skin is breaking out terribly.
What are the best facial soaps/scrubs/washes you've used that helped clear up your acne?

Any at home remedies?

Thanks =]

clearasil washing gel works well :)
it is a blue gel and kind of foams when you wash your face.

also try egg yolk mask, it minimizes your pores :P

can someone teach me how to use the computer without the help of a mouse?

erm to open start menu (im assuming you have a PC) then you press the windows flag key and use arrows to browse through the options and press enter to select something.
If you are on a website or MSN/AIM etc use the tab key aswell

It isn't very easy to explain..IF you need more information ask.

IF you want to dye it like that at home..it will not work out well...unless you are amazing at dying it yourself... I suggest going to salon.

For my photoshop class we have to make our own movie posters from a book we're reading. I'm pretty much done except I can't find a celebrity to fit one of the characters. Does any one know any male celebrities with curly long hair, or that had curly long hair at one point so I can get a picture?

Help would be very much appreciated.

Adrian Grenier has almost long curly hair. V. hot :P

I have a thingy on my DVD burning program that says erase disk, does that mean that if I burn something i dont' like, it can erase the whole thing and i can burn something on it again?

It depends on the disc that you use, you should read the information the box.

Some discs allow this but some will erase date but you will not be able to burn things onto it again..and some discs you cant erase at all.

Hope this helped somehow :)

i really want to download some songs from the internet for free so i found this webstie yourmp3.net and i think you can download as many songs as you want for free, right????

one more ? how do you download the song onto your mp3?.....do you just put your mp3 in the computer and presh the "download" button........if not what do you do?????

its free..but illegal.
You click on the song you want and then it says ''DOWLOAD'' right click on that, choose save target AS or something similar to that..then choose the folder on your computer(such as my music or whatever) click ok and the song should start downloading...then you will have to copy/open the song in your music program that you normally use ;)

me and my boyfriend have been having sex for 3 weeks almost 4 times a week, i am now feeling dizy, fitgued, feverish, and my boobs have been killing me and are getting bigger. Im not sure if i am sick or i am getting pregant. When will it be a good time to take a pergnancy test so i can see if i am [my age is not important u will just judge me anyway.]

Age is not important to me :)
But I suggest taking a pregnancy test soon(ASAP) because you have been having sex a lot( not in a negative way :) ) and condoms aren't 100% safe ( if you have used them)
So I think you should take the test, and if you are pregnant, consider what you want to do...if you are under 16 you should talk to your parents(even though they might kill you)
If you are over 16..or 18 then you can do things for yourself, but please take the test and if it is positive talk to someone you trust, and who can help you. I don't want you to ruin your life :(

If it is negative, I suggest using condoms & the pill in the future( if you don't use both) and always be careful :)

I hope this helped somehow.

I have these like white scratches on my car...and when they are wet, they kind of fade away...why is that?
And is there any way to get rid of them without taking them to an autoshop (i'm 16...so i don't want my parents to see it)

err I don't think so, unless you have car tools at home..
I suggest taking to an auto shop BEFORE your parents find out...

im having a party next saturday for my 18th. Alot of people are going to be there i have to look so cute and i dont know what to wear or where to shop. I want to look sexy but also cute. If anyone has any ideas it help thanksss

a dress like this?

or browse through other dresses here:

I suggest a cute dress, heels or flats, natural make-up and a cute hairstyle :)

I think that would look great, if you don't want to wear a dress, try a top similar to this:

http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028386&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442162170&bmUID=1189880703855

try a glam top with skinny jeans or shorts?

I hope/know that you will look great anyway :)

I have to do a school project on a controversial/ethical subject and I wanted to choose something other than the death penalty or abortion. I have chosen to do underage drinking. As part of research for the project we have been asked to gather different points of view about the topic and I decided Advicenators would be an ideal place to get some of these opinions/experiences.

If you could take a few minutes to answer these questions/give any additional infomation then it would be very much appreciated.

Did you drink when you were underage? (I know that the legal age varies in different countries, so just go with whatever the legal age is where you are). If so, how often? Where and how did you obtain the alcohol? I'm focussing a large section of the paper on the use of fake ID/asking older friends etc to buy alcohol for you, so if you have any experiences with that, then please let me know in as much detail as possible.

Thank you.

I drink at concerts. The people at the bar at concert halls don't care what your age is as long as they make money. All I had to do is say ''Can I have a stella artois'' and they say sure, and give you the beer.

Also The suspicious 24/hr shops and so on, they sell anyone alcohol, as long as they make money, the don't care either.

I hope this helped somehow..?

ok so this morning my computer said "low disk memory space. click here for options" and so i clicked on it and it lead me to like some disk cleanup thing so then i clicked on clean up but now my paint on computer is gone! and so is my internet explorer, all thats left is my aol explorer. i have no idea what it did! i thought it was just gonna clean up a few stuff i didn't know it was going to delete my stuff! i'm freaking out right now can anyone tell me how to get them back? i'm sure there could have been some other programs that got deleted too. & no i dont think its a virus cause it was windows that requested a disk cleanup. please help!

''run'' couldn't find it because it is NOT there anymore. I suggest looking in your recycle bin... if the programs are not there then you have to download them again...
if they are there, select the things you want and click restore all items on the left of the window.

hope this helped..? :)
