what are you guys opion of christians and other sprital stuff???>?? (link)
|
I don't judge anyone based on religion. I take a very liberal view of all things spiritual in nature. I do not go around saying things like "man, christians suck" or "man, Catholics are insane" or "muslims are evil" because to do so is just ignorant.
I also generally separate matters religious (the rules created by people and the ritual surrounding their ceremonies) from matters spiritual (issues of faith, interconnectedness, communication with God, etc).

well i have some of my friends going to my advice column and asking questions, which is pretty cool, BUT.. some of the questions are involving me and idk how to answer them! help! idk what to do?! (link)
| |
don't answer them... if you're not sure, or feel awkward, you're not obligated to answer.

|
does anyone know how to delete questions you asked off of your "Your Questions" list??? i really want to delete one of my questions so i need to know how!!!! (link)
| |
well, you can't. Answers you've made can be deleted, but not questions. If there's something in particular that you have a valid reason to want blown away, let myself or any of the other L2 mods know, and we can look into it.

hey ya i was the person who asked bout volleyball but i have another ques do u like do stuff individually in front of everyone or do u do it with groups like all together??? (link)
|
well, that depended on how many were trying out and how many coaches we had. If there were a small number of us, like only 2 coaches, then we'd both watch the players together, and have them go one at a time.
Larger numbers, you break down into groups - you still do a lot of it individually - or set up drills to be more like games. I think the scrimage situations are the most telling, though.

2morrow im trying out for my hs volleyball team (im a freshman) well i was kinda wondering like what to expect at a tryout esp. a volleyball one.... like do u have to run b4 it or like do sum sort of interview or do u jus go into teams and jus play while the coaches examine u???!!! (link)
| |
generally, we do a group warm-up and let the girls/guys (we've coached both) pepper for a while. Then we start the drills and panels - we run through basic skills: passing, setting, hitting, serving, footwork, and then we set up drills to look at game-play with short scrimages and things like that. Generally, we don't "interview" the players, but we make it a point to talk to them. Since tryouts were usually after a week of camp, we have a good idea of personalities and whatnot.

I just wanted to make note that I approved this because I just thought it would be nice for people to see something positive and gracious like this. I like knowing that people find this site helpful - and moreso that they are willing to say "thanks".
:)

alrighti've tried both uploading my picture to this site and to another site and putting the URL onto this one but either way the pic doesn't show up. what else can i do? (link)
| |
first off, what code were you using to try to get it to show up? nextly, did you get any sort of error uploading to here - if so, what was it? what site were you trying to link the picture from - this is important. Basically, give us some details to work with, if you would be so kind. Otherwise, there's no good way to help.

Does anyone know a quick way to get rid of poison ivy. I know Chlorine and Bleach help...but anything else?

Wash with soap, dry by patting, not rubbing. Cover the area with something like caladryl clear that also contains an anti-itch agent (benadryl, essentially)... and KEEP THE AREA DRY. Don't let clothes rub on the rash - any residual oils you have in the rash could potentially spread from seeping of the rash, especially if you are highly allergic.

ok well these girls i dont no keep instant messangeing me sayin that im fat and ugly because they saw a picture of me on my profile and they say all these mean things to me and im not the kind of girl who can take stuff like that and everyone tells me oh dont worry about them ur pretty and all that but i cant just ignore them they go to my school now too
someone please help me figure out something to do (link)
| |
In all seriousness - blow them off. Ignore them. Don't give them the time of day. They are getting their jollies off of irritating you. The more you let it bother you, the more they are happy and will keep doing it. Don't address them, don't ackowledge them. Blow them off.

Hey yall! Peroxide doesn't help make your black arm hair turn blonde I tried it over and over again and it doesn't work...what else do yall think will work, anything around the house? if not what can I go buy, where can I get it, how much does it cost, and in what cities do they have it in??? Plz and thx I appreciate yalls help! And I will rate yall! l8er! (link)
| |
you probalby used too weak a peroxide solution. Peroxide is an oxidizer - it is the active agent in non-bleach whiteners. It is found in hair products and tooth whiteners. What was the % of the peroxide you used? You can buy several different strengths form the store. And it degrades rather quickly, so if you used an old bottle, you basically poured water on your arm. Peroxide reacts with most anything, which is why old bottles of it aren't any good.

Me and my boyfriend seem happy with each other. Like he always talks about us being together forever and is always making future plans. I like that bc that is that the kind of realationship that i want, but he lives about 40 min. away from me and the seeing him thing isnt really a problem (i dont want to see someone everyday, i get kind of annoyed by that) so that isnt the issue. I am just worried about him doing stuff behind my back... like he checks out other girls INFRONT of me and talks about them near me too. He says wow their hot and stares them down.. stuff like that. So that kinda scares me. I talk to him about this, but he says that he isnt gonna ever do this to me and that he likes me too much to go for any other girl. Should i belive him? (link)

you know what... guys do that... even married guys... because, while we may be married, we're not dead. We have eyes, we see hot chicks...

i'm going to be a freshman, and just got my braces off, and my teeth are kinda yellow. i heard that some of the teeth-whitening products don't really work & are too expensive. what should i do?! i can't go to highschool looking like this! please help! (link)
| |
Whitestrips tend to work the best. There are some generic strip-like products, that while not as good as the Crest stuff, still work decently. The brush-on stuff generally isn't that hot. Look for coupons for Crest if you go that route.

my eye has been twitching lately!! ts gotton worse!! like its my eyelid, sometimes my eyebrow, and below my eye...not all @ once but its only in my right eye...u cant see it but i can feel it..i told my mom but she didnt really think nothin of it...wat does this mean?? (link)
| |
Often, eye twitches are from stress and/or lack of sleep.
|
|
you see, i am a female brunette and i have hair on my legs/arms. I would like to lighten my hair so it is less visible because i don't like to wax/shave because hair grows back even darker/thicker. So what products can i use to lighten my hair? Are there any home remedies so I wont have to go to the store? (link)
| |
hair bleaching, such as with dilute peroxide, is what you're looking for. There are many cheap products to do this that you can find at drugstores. Be careful if you attempt to use just any old bottle of peroxide in your house, as you can burn your skin if it is too high a concentration.

how much more likely are you to get cancer if you drink diet soda?? (link)
| |
there are no good correlations between diet pop and cancer. There were some poorly executed studies that purported that nutrasweet would cause brain tumors, but that report has since been totally thrashed in scientific circles.
|
I recently went to doctor for my back I have been having shooting pains and such. I am almost positive I have the disease. They have to test me for Bone disease, Muscle Disease, Cancer, and Brain Tumors. Anyways, does anyway know how to dull pain without Ibuprofen? I have growen immune to it. Please Please Please! Fibro is extremely painfull!!!
Thanks!

I am surprised they haven't tried putting you on something like Vioxx. You need a prescription for it, though. If Ibuprofen isn't cutting it for you, then likely nothing over the counter will (maybe naproxen if you haven't used it much, but I'm personally not a big fan of naproxen). Either way, this is something you really should consult your doctor for... make sure you tell him that ibuprofen just doesn't seem to work - ibuprofen can also cause stomach lining damage over time if you take too much of it - thus things like Vioxx were developed.

Can anyone either explain (or refer me to a website) which explains the theory and logic beinh the HTML hex code color names?
I know that is has something to do with shade, saturation, hue... something like that. I looked for something online but couldn't find anything.
I don't want a listing of all the colors and their codes. (link)
|
HTML color codes are not saturation and hue... it is RGB. They are hex codes, being from 00 to FF. so 000000 is white (no color) and FFFFFF is black (all color). The number, in hexadecimal, is the level of each of the three colors.
There are a lot of web pages that not only list "safe" html color codes, but display them for you, too. Just search on "html color hex codes". I believe someone else has already listed one such site for you in their reply.

I have dark hair around my bellybutton and when I wear a two piece swimsuit, you can sorta see it, and it bothers me! I don't want to shave it! I dunno why I have hair THERE... any advice would be greatly appreciated! (link)
| |
they make hair bleaching kits for bikini areas. I'd look into one - probably get one cheap at a local drugstore.

This question is more for the older ppl here, but if u know the answer, let me know whether u are older or not!
When I get older I'm looking in2 becoming like a news anchor person, or something along that lines. When I go 2 college, wut kinda degree would I need 2 get? I assume a certain degree in communications, but does any1 know if there is a certain degree in particular? Plz let me know! (link)
| |
You are looking for a degree in telecommunications. Schools like Ohio University are well known for their T-Comm program with many local and national news casters being graduates from the program there.

MY ankles are sorta big and have muscle around them i guess cause they can be skinnier...and then it just keeps getting bigger and then my calves are HUGE..and i hate it, any advice? lol all i want is a thinner lower leg i guess. (link)
|
don't use your legs anymore and let your muscles atrophy...
yes, I am kidding...
if your calves are muscular, then there's not much you can do, beyond going out of your way to stop using your calf muscles so much... I know someone who flipped out over her legs being "too big" so she started working out, lots of exercise and she played competetive tennis... her legs got bigger, not smaller, because it was muscles... lots and lots of muscle.
I'd analyze what activities you perform and what other members of you family have for leg muscles and go from there...
