If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

advice

i have a job interview for a makeup company on monday, and i have no idea what to wear! help! pics would be great

Smart/casual wear never fails for a job interview.
*Fitted blouse and trousers (maybe add a trendy waistcoat)
*Fitted blouse and skirt
*A fitted dress which isn't too revealing and is an appropriate length
Also, I read an article about people who wear plain/dark colours to certain interviews. That is a no no. People are more likely to remember you if you wear a bit of colour and it puts you and the person interviewing you in a cheery mood!
Don't be afraid to add accessories (large belts to put around your shirt/jewelry etc) but remember, DON'T over do it.
As for your hair, don't have it all over your face, people like to actually see who they're interviewing!

Good luck!

So I wrote a song, it's a rough draft and very far from perfect, but I'd like some opinions/advice, even a little criticism to make it better. Not comfortable posting it on the site but if any columnists are interested, please leave your email> Thanks!

I'd love to hear! laurarocket@hotmail.com

ok heres the story.
i started having this "stomach ache" on sunday, and it has been the worse thing i have been through, i swear. One night I was in the bathroom every 15min, diarreha. Now, ive had it for almost 7 days, constant pain, i want to throw up every once in awhile. And now, it's mostly when i eat, about 1-2hrs later, im in horrible pain and i have a harder stool. I've been hearing that this is a stomach virus going around. All I know is that I am sick of this, I would like to be actually eating again and enjoying my life without constant pain and running to the bathroom. I've tried pepto, idioum, anti-dirreaheal pills, like everything! My mother refuses to take me to a doctor because she thinks it's just the stomach flu, which i heard can last like 3-6 days? And I am in 4-H and am going to take my horse to the fair this coming week and I am going to be very active. So I need this stomach ache to go away ASAP! I dont think what I am eating has affected my stomach pain, I think it's viral. But please please please please please! I need some help like now!
Thank-you!!!!!

This has lasted 7 days. By now, you definitely should be seeing improvements in your health. If you aren't, it's REALLY necessary to see your doctor.
It could be this stomach virus that is going around your area, but since we aren't doctors and can't physically see you to give you a diagnosis, noone here will know for certain.
Since you've had/may have more diarrhea, it is very important you drink plenty fluids, since most of them are being lost.
In the mean time, make sure to rest and try to get as much sleep as possible. Stick to the more plain foods (potatoes, bread, crackers, soup if you can) so it doesn't upset your stomach more.

Your additional information states you've had surgery and are on anti bacterial pills. Yes, this could be a bad reaction to the medication you are on and this could also be a reason for the hives. So really, there is no way for anyone here to be sure.

For the sake of your health, please, go to a doctor.

I hope you feel better very soon.

Whats the difference between a person being nice to you, or a person showing interest? How do you know if the guy is just talking to you or if he might be flirting?

Generally, a person who shows interest will try to get into your personal space. What I mean by that is, they will try to make contact with you whether it's "accidentally" (brushing past your arm for instance) or being flat out obvious about it (hugging, trying to hold/touch you at any opportunity). You will also notice more eye contact, smiling/laughter, more speech and that person mimicking your body language.

do you think its trendy to wear colored mascara.. like purple or green or N0T?

If YOU like it, wear it. I, personally, think it's nice and something different than the usual black :)

lol, this is kinda embaracing, but, i have a hemoriod, its not that big, kinda small actually. but my question is, how do i get it to go away?!!?!?!

Just leave it. If it's small, it shouldn't be a problem and will start to shrink within a week or 2. Infact, they're really common and anyone can suffer from them.
If it's itching, you can get creams to help. Other than that, make sure the area is kept clean and don't do anything that might aggravate it :)

howwww do you give a hand job and/or a blow job?

We can't offer you advise on how to perform on Advicenators, because it is a child friendly site.
I've included search boxes for you, which won't show up on your address bar if that is why you didn't Google it yourself.
and remember, only do it when you're 100% ready and never feel pressured.

Whats the best way to get rid of static electricity in your hair? Or to stop it happening in the first place?

There are plenty of anti static hair products, so next time you're shopping, definitely have a look.
Here are some things you'll most probably find around your home which can help out for now:
*Rub a dryer sheet through your hair (sounds weird, I know - but it's proven to work).
*Good old fashioned hair spray to tame those unruly strands.
*Body lotion (a tiny bit, mind!)
*Use conditioner if you don't already.

Here are a few things to think about:
*Do your clothes have anything to do with your static hair? Or detergents?
*Is your hairbrush making it worse? It may be time to find a new, better one with natural bristles.
*Do you straighten your hair? Is it worse after straightening? If so, try not to use them so much.

Static hair is annoying but hopefully, you can pinpoint the reason why yours is happening and if not, find suitable products or home remedies which work for you.
Good luck!

okay, i got my ears peirced a week ago today..and they still kinda hurt. they sometimes itch a little bit at the bottom of the lobe. and whenever i turn them, they kinda hurt..like kinda sting, and kinda pinch. i wouldnt turn them, but the lady that peirced them said that i have to or they'll grow over or something. and after i turn them, they hurt. my mom said it's probobly because im sleeping on them. but whats really wrong with my ears?

Nothing is wrong. Your piercings are still very new, so they're bound to hurt. You get told to turn them so they don't get stuck, but if you carry on cleaning them as advised, that won't happen anyway.
Don't forget, the minimum healing period is 6 weeks - so give it some time and stop worrying! :]

how do you get people to ask you questions?

thanks:)

By answering ones from the pool frequently and letting everyone see your amazing advice.
Link to it on websites, tell your friends and get them to pass it on.

the site i bought it from was coastalscents.com

is that okay?

im da girl with the "my mom tripped on me"

Yes, it looks fine. :]

When all I'm doing is making out with my boyfriend, he gets hard. I mean, we're like laying together and stuff, but is that normal, for guys to get hard from just making out?

Of course!

I'm 13.. but there is this 16 year old which i knew. when i was depressed, i told her about my problems. but i really like her. she's really beautiful here is a picture: http://www.femaleemohaircuts.com/images/female-emo-hairstyle.jpg

but when i really like some one i start lying because i think they don't like me because I'm bisexual. but my parents (who hate emo's) told her i lied for attention. now she doesn't talk to me anymore. i want to tell her what i feel and that i didn't lie for attention.. i lied to get in her heart. i know she's 3 years older then me but.. I'm bisexual so just like i think different sexes are just difference in appearance, i think age is just a difference in experience in live. i want to tell her what i feel for her and even if she doesn't love me.. i just want to be friends again. but what do i tell her?

You tell her the truth in hope that she listens.
Write her a letter/message/etc explaining everything, including your reasons for lying. Let it be known you deeply regret what you did and it will never happen again.
What happens after that is up to her.
It's always worth a shot though, isn't it?
Good luck.

i randomly told my mom that i bought make up at an online store in the interenet and she immediately just FREEEEAAAAKKED OUT AND YELLED AND SPEECHED ME OUT

like what am i supposed to do shes making me feel guilty and like have doubts about my buying online

shud i continue to buy or is it really dangerous

she said there are identity theft online

is that true?

pleasae ansswweer all of my questions i know its all over the place but please. IM SO WORRIED

is there nothing to be worried about?

have you esperienced any of the identity theft online in ur credit card?

how about ..do you continue to buy online?
tell me stories or speeches on anything ADDVIIICCE

please and THANKS. :(

Haha, your mum is like my mum. She thinks if I buy things on the internet using her card, she'll be a victim of some evil scheme which will take all her money or steal her identity - despite the websites I plan to buy things from being 100% safe and very well known.
You should have linked to the site you purchased from, so we can double check for you. Without knowing which site you used, it's impossible to know if it's a legit site (although something tells me it's fine).
IF you want, edit your question and provide the website.
but to conclude - identity theft etc DOES exist on the internet, but it's not very common. You should always use trusted sites (chain stores/websites you KNOW are safe).

What's the name of these piercings

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb28/sarahmhmm/IIIPIERCINGS.jpg

Nostril (nose)
Labret (lip)

i have razer burn on my bikini area

how do i get rid of that?

Try not to shave that area again for a short while, so your skin can calm down.
When you next shave, make sure your razor isn't blunt, you are using shaving gel/cream/etc and afterwards, apply a soothing balm on that area (not inside). Have a look around next time you're shopping for the wide range of shaving products available. :)

Okay, well I recently got plugs. And when I put them on me earlobe hurt. But that's only because it was really hard to get them in, and it took a lot to finally get them in. Well, the pain started going away. But now, the INSIDE of my ears are hurting. My left ear hurts really bad. And when I touch it, it feels worst. And as for my right ear, it just hurts when I touch it. My question is could it be because of the plugs? If not, what is it? I don't want to tell me my mom because she's going to tell me to take the plugs off and I don't want to do it cause I went through so much just to get them. Please help.

It could just be tender and sore due to the stretching, OR, you may have an infection in your ear.
My advice is to stop stretching for the moment and see if the pain disappears. If it doesn't, you'll need to see a doctor to find out the exact cause for the pain.

Okk
this happened to my friend this one day
I dunno
It made me wonder

Okk imagine you have a boyfriend and have a couple of your friends with you to Six Flags :D

You go with your friends and your boyfriend to the rides you and your friends like. . .

Your boyfriend gets upset or angry because you always go only on water rides, he leaves

Would you chase after him and talk to him or stay with your friends and go on the ride??

:D

I'd talk to him before he left. If he's still being an ass about it, then I'd leave him to cool off and go on the rides with my friends. It's his fault for getting annoyed at something ridiculous like that in the first place!

hey lol]
ok so since about the start of the year my hair has gone really dry and i dont know what has been causing it
my new nickname at school is dog hair guy or somehting like that and its not annoying or anything but the chicks arent really going for it lol but thats not the only reason
i use swartzcopf shampoo and conditioner(two different bottles-on with shampoo one with conditioner) or what ever that brand name is, every morning but it makes no difference help on what it is and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated thanks

*Don't wash it every day. It strips your hair of it's natural oils, making it dry.
*Might sound weird, but for the next few washes, don't use shampoo. Just use conditioner.
*Don't use straighteners etc.
That should help you out.

how did you get the google link search bar under your about me on ur page ?

Sorry it took me a while to reply and thanks for your question!
