My name's Ammo and I'm here to give any help or advice on anything that I can. :] Firstly, if you were kind enough to come here and read up on me, I thank you.

I've been through a lot when it comes to relationships and life in general. I've seen and heard many things and have always felt it's nice to be able to share my experiences (both good and bad ones) with as many people as I can in the hopes that I can help others not make the mistakes I've made (and sometimes still make). Who knows, maybe there's a lesson or two I can learn from you as well.

I don't really use chat programs much anymore so e-mail would be the best way to get in touch if you wish to chat but if you really need to chat then I am able to do so via Facebook, Yahoo or MSN. I'm a very social person so don't mind anyone wanting to chat. ^_^

Hi.

I've hada similar thing happen to me recently and I've fond when you get different stories from everyone about what is going on it's time to go to the source to get answers.

You could try talking to her and tell her what you have heard from 'people' and tell her what you wrote above - that you don't want to get led on and to basicly ask her where you stand with her and such or you can just wait it out and see what happens.

Either way I know how much it sucks when you get hurt in things like these and every time you do get hurt it doesn't get any easier. Thing with relationships is that getting hurt (or at least the possibility of it) is all part of the territory. I'm afraid that will just be a risk you will have to take to get. Good luck though and I do hope it all goes well for you.

hay so theres this guy in the year below me and i have been out with him twice already, 1st time was 2 years ago and again last year for about a month.
he is my best friends brother and the other day i slept over her house and he and his friend were there hangin with us for a while. he kept touching me and flirting with me, sitting really close and stuff too. it didnt occur to me until they lelf (coz he was slepin at his friends house) and my friend said "omg i think my brother likes you you,eww!"
it didnt bother me then but now i cant stop thinking about it and im confused of what to do like would it be weird if i went out with him again.. for the third time, i dont know what my best friend would think cos it was a little weird with her when i went out with him again before. i also dont no if he likes me or not wat should i do??? talk to my friend about it first or will it be weird??? help!!!
thanx xoxo sal

Hello Sal. I can't say if he really does like you or not because I don't know him as well as you do since you've been out with him twice so it's more your department there but I don't see why it would be weird other than the fact you've tried to hold a relationship with this guy twice before and it's not worked out.
If you feel you need to talk to your best friend about it first then by all means do so just to get her opinion on the whole thing but personally although I believe everyone deserves a second chance (depending on circumstances) would going out with this guy the third time be any different?
I suppose it all depends on why you both broke up the first two times and who did the breaking up but if it's not just going to be a thing that lasts a month and ends up in another breakup then by all means go for it, especially if you do like the guy. You can try talking to him about it too and see what he says but at the end of the day it will be your decision to make.
Hope I was a little help, good luck. :]

i just got my braces off and now i wear a retainer. i am supposed to wear it all the time. but how would i kiss/make out with someone whike wearing it?

I don't think it would really make all that much of a difference to be honest. I wouldn't really worry about it too much at all, it should be fine. If someone is kissing you or making out with you I think they will be too busy thinking about the kiss and you than to worry about your retainer, sotry not to worry about it. :]

does any one know if its possible or if you can hack in to someones myspace cuz this guy has been in my myspace i know him aand he like changed my password and shit idk wat to do i wanna hack into his pweese help!!!thx

Hacking is illegal regardless what the reason you have to justify it and if caught it can get you into a lot of trouble with your ISP. Also, teaching someone how to hack is not a simple process and can take a very long time to explain and put into practice.

The best thing you can do is contact myspace and explain what's going on so they can hopefully fix your account and, if they keep records of IP addresses and who has logged in and out of accounts, they may take action against the person who hacked your account.

If you are still unable to get into your account you can try recovering your password and hope that whoever hacked your account and changed the password was not smart enough to change your e-mail address. Good luck in getting your account back and in busting the guy who hacked it.

Okay, so i just started dating this guy. But he's in rehab, like, 10 states away...And i really want to go to junior prom! I would probably just ask a friend, but my boyfriend...well, he can get really jealous...Im not sure about what i should do. Should i ask someone to go with me, and just have fun, or should i not go, so that he wont get mad. There is always senior prom.

Much luv
~Mwah~

I don't really see any reason why you shouldn't go. Jealousy can be a problem but it is something that he will need to deal with because I find it unfair on you that you can't even go out with your friends especially when it's to the prom.

Talk to your bf and let him know that you really want to go and that you'll be going with a friend just as friends (if it's a guy) and nothing more. See what he has to say and basicly just work on it from there for you both come to an understanding. If he gets jealous and he knows he does then you can explain he has nothing to be jealous about or to worry about because you just want to go with a friend and just have a good time there and that's all.

hello-
I'm 15/f and this is kinda a weird question.
but most people i know are baiscally a "type" like more prep, emo, athletic, gurliy..ya know? and well i'm everything i listen to emo/rock/rap/alternative. i'm most def. not a girly girl but some days i'm a total girly girl. it just depends on my mood that day. and i'm just everything and sometimes i worry people think i'm a poser or something cause i'm just so unique. i mean i'm friends with total preps, emo's, jocks and etc. but i'm starting to think that maybe being so diverse is a bad thing. cause sometimes i have my emo days and others my jock and prep. and i'm starting to think being so many differnent things is making people think i wanna be something i'm not and maybe thats why i've never had a bf. cause woudln't a guy want a girl who she knows who she is? cause i don't know what i am cause i'm everything. and i don't know if i should stay like this or try and lean towards one direction...should i try and stick with my emo/rock side or my athletic side or maybe the guy of my dreams wnats me to be the girly girl. i just have no clue what to do and i just need some help. i'm so lost in life right now.

Hiya. You don't sound very lost to me at all to be honest. Maybe a little concerned but not lost.

I am 'exactly' the same as you (from a male perspective that is). I listen to every kind of music from pop to heavy metal to classical and I dress differnt every day. Some days I look like a goth and on others a skater and then the next I'd be told I'm dressed like a chav (I believe the US term for chav would be jock? I'm not sure on that one).

You sound like a very unique person because you don't follow trends or try to be like a group of people just to feel like you need to fit in. Those are the real people who are lost in life because they follow in the footsteps of a crowd instead of finding their own path to follow.

If you are happy with how you are right now regardless of everything else then by all means stay that way. You shouldn't have to change who you are just to fit in or make everyone else happy. I don't think it's why you've never had a bf. I mean if I were to find someone as unique then I'd be very happy. I can't give you a reason as to why you're single but if a guy will only like you or date you because of the way you dress or the kind of group you fit into instead of actually dating you for who you are then is that really a guy you want to be dating?

The guy of your dreams will just want you to be you because that's the person he will have fallen for.

If you need to chat more feel free to write. Keep that chin up - I don't think there's anything at all wrong with the way you are at all.

how old do you have to be to go on birth control? do you have to be registered with a gyno to start it?

I've known some friends in the USA who have been on birth control as young as 15 (maybe 14) so if you are in the US it may be the same unless it varies on a state basis.

As for being registered I am not sure of the procedure in the US but in the UK you need to talk to your doctor before going on birth control. But you don't need to register as such. The best option might be to talk to you doctor about the details or even ask in a chemist as they will be up to date on these kind of details.

i feel soo alone and i think every yr it gets worse. i mean i dont hang out with anyone and now out school i have a hard time finding someone too hang out with.

the people i were hanging out with i decided to distance myself from cuz they didnt treat me well or respect me and some of the things they were doing I dont approve of and want to be around. some people i used to talk to went to another school or dont talk to me cuz we either grew apart or because of last years drama.

i dont know why! is it because im smart? i mean im not dumbing myself down for people to like me and this one girl was like "who wants to be friends with people like that they're no fun" i hate it, i only have 3 more yrs and im just tired of everything. what can i do? im friendly and nice but still.

Hiya.

I know a lot of people and have a fair bit of friends but there's times even I feel extremely alone and lonely. I think it happens to everyone at least once.

Firstly, you're very right in what you said - you shouldn't have to change yourself for anyone to like you. If people can't accept you for who you are and the way you are then they are people not worth bothering with. There's nothing wrong with being smart either. Since when can smart people not have fun?! Does that mean theones who said that are stupid because they know how to have fun? :-/

Being friendly and nice is a very good thing. People like that stick out with me and I get along with people like that and I can open up to them more and talk to them. Friends do move on though and lose touch and stuff. I think the oldest friend I now have (who I admitI rarely chat to nowadays) I have known about 10 years or so. Before then all the people I used to talk to and were my friends have just gone. Old friends go and new friends take their place, it's usually how it works.

Have more confidence in yourself. If people don't like you to hell with them, you can find other friends. Not everyone will like you because everyone is different. Text, call up, email or message some of your old friends you have not spoken to in ages because you lost touch. When you're back at school make new friends and arrange to hang out or go to the movies in a nice group or something so you can all get to know each other outside school. It will all be a way to try and make some new friends who do appreciate you and more importantly - accept you for who you are. :]

well here is the promblem me and this boy have known eachother for like ever since we were born and we use to be ma cool and always hung out until one day i moved real far away and i kinda forgot about him, since he is such a family friend i heard more and more about him and then all of a sudden theses feelings for him like i fell in LOVE with him so i started talkin to him again and then he was acting or does actually like me so my cousin thats like his BFF tells me that he dows like me and so then i started talking to him but all he was talking about was doin it wit me and how it will takes us to another level but also he said we could never be because we live 8 hours away but i cant seem to get over him and i really want to so please he also seems to be on some games so PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!! im 14 female and hes 15 male

Hi.

In a way he's pretty much made it clear that the distance will be a huge problem (commitment at so young an age can be very difficult because there are always distractions around - but then thatcan apply to any age).

From another guys perspective it sounds to me like all he is interested in is sex (not anything new considering his age). The taking you both to a new level sounds like a pathetic way to try and tempt you into agreeing and is like saying if we do this it will prove you want to be with me. Not quite that but the same kind of principle (in other words its a lot of bs).

I think all he's intersted in is sex and that's it. He's already made it clear that itwon't work because of the distance yet said it would take you both to a new level (which seems just a way to try make you think that it's for the good of you both when what he actally means it's just for his own good).

You will get over him but like all things it will just take time. I'm generally a good judge of people from knowing only small things about them and I think this is a guy you can do without. There's plenty guys out there and there is always someone better out there even when you think you can never find someone better.

Good luck in what you decide to do and if you need any more help just let me know.

okay well this isnt really about computers. my friend has a sony ericcsson w800i and i have tha w810i. she sent me a picture message but when i went to open it the following alert came up:Download failed, comunication error, please try again later. now ive been trying and trying but the same message keeps coming up, how can i open it?

I don't have that phone so I can't help you on the technical side of things but I've had the same error before (or at least very similar error) and it might just be the message/picture was not downloaded properly to your phone so it's corrupted. If this is the case you may have to ask your friend to send it to you again. You could try calling customer support to ask them if there's a problem with your phone getting picture messages to see if they can fix the problem.
From the sounds of it though my guess would be the picture was corrupted during the transfer from your networks server to your handset so your only option might be to have your friend resend it.
Sorry I can't be more helpful on this.

Or i think that's what it's called, at least. I got one as a bday present. It's from the Body Shop. Smells great, blah blah, BUT how do I use it? How much of it should I use? & how often?

Thanks in advance!

The stuff you refer to is fragrance oil (perfume oil is the same thing really).

You need an oil burner to use the oil. It's usually a small pan with a candle holder directly below it (at least the one I have is). Usually the idea is to fill the top pan with the oil of your choice and pop a candle (the small tea candles usually) into the bottom tray and light it. The oil will slowly burn and smell up the room.

The best place to get this would be to check out Body Shop (they do a range of them) but many places do the oil burners and a lot of places, you may find, actually sell them a lot cheaper than in Body Shop.

k so ths isnt really sex but w/e. wrong categ.

hows fingerin done? im cluless bt ths stuff bt curius at da same tim.e

14f if it matters.

Quite basicly, fingering is when someone will stimulate and insert their finger/s into your vigina. This doesn't necessarily have to be someone else doing it though as most girls use fingering (themselves) as a form of masturbation.

That's really all there is to it. Hope it helped.

Ok.I'm basically not skinny. I've tryed EVERYTHING to get it to go away. I've done dieting, but I keep on braking them, and I'm already in about 1 thosand sports. So I'm thinking about only eating lunch and a little dinner everyday, but I don't know how bad that is for me. Like for lunch, a salad, orange juice (which is nasty), and for dinner maybe only an apple. So should I do it or not? Plus, I need to know if I should do it or not, what should I do?

A very important thing to bare in mind about diets is that if not done correctly they will cause your body more harm than good. The diet you are wanting to go on sounds very unhealthy in relation to nutrition that your body needs and you will endup doing more harm than good.

Diets are very hardto stick to - the longest I managed was a month but I hadto break mine because of an accident. I will give you a breakdown of the diet I was on and will be back on in a couple of weeks hopefully as it really made a difference tome personally:

Snacks: When I felt I needed a snack instead of going for something unhealthy like crisps or chocolate bars I went for fruit instead. Apples, peaches, grapes, bananas - any fruit helped get rid of that snack craving and was healthy at the same time.

Breakfast: It's not how much you eat but more what you eat that counts. I go for a wheat based breakfast and instead of sugar I use sliced bananas and strawberries and low fat milk. A drink to go with this would be either tea without sugar (if I needed to wake up, lol) or freshly squeezed orange juice.

Lunch: Sandwiches with a tuna filling and a drink of any kind (no drinks containing caffine like coke and such). Although it doesn't seem like much the tuna was very filling and when I felt like wanting something hot Imade toasties using the tuna. Didn't taste excellent but they did the job for me.

Dinner: A serving of vegetables along with a drink and either a grilled fillet of some form of fish or some meat to go with the vegetables.

Add with this a 4 days a week trip to the gym and I was well on the way especially since at the gym I had a personal trainer help develop a plan just for me.

The routine I said above was written up for me by a cousin who has a lot of experience with this kind of thing so I knew I was in safe hands. I would strongly urge you to seek the same kind of help from someone who can advise you professionally on what kind of a diet to go on. You could try your doctor who can recommend a professional you can talk to or visiting a gym may also help as they generally know a lot about this kind of thing (atleast here in the UK they do). As I said above, if not done correctly you will only end up doing more harm to yourself which is something you should certainly avoid.

Stick with it though and don't give up on yourself. It is really hard to stick with a diet but once you get into it you really will forget your on a diet and it will just become second nature.

very long sry >> my boyfriend is pretty amazing and i do like him a lot. he was one of my good friends before we went out. i like being with him, and he makes me happy. but lately he acts like hes only in it for the hookup. he doesnt do anything sweet for me, and girls are all over him, and i dunno, i just have a problem trusting him. to make things worse hes the player-type. i dont trust him very much...he\'s lied to me about things before, and he told another girl he was interested in her when i had confidence and trust in him in the fact that he would be faithful to me. he acted like it was no big deal but it was important to me. he tells me hes in love with me and i actually believe him even though i dont feel the same way. but ive come to realize that he doesnt act like hes in love with me. i dont want to drop him but i also find my mind wandering back to the guy i should be with, my ex. hes the sweetest guy i know and he makes me happy without even trying. im still in love with him and i cant just drop my guy for him, but that doesnt mean i dont want to. im worried about my boyfriends feelings and im also worried about my commitment to my boyfriend. but i really dont know what to do. i think im with the wrong guy, but i like him a lot and i like being with him...i liked being friends better though. and i also really love my ex. but i feel disloyal to my boyfriend because of that, especially because i got mad at him for basically the same thing. [telling the other girl he was interested in her] and i also get jealous really easily and idk if i will be able to handle seeing my current boyfriend with a new girl , because god knows they will flock to him if i drop him :[ oh please helppp lol:]

From what I have seen it seems you are actually not certain what it is you want. Firstly though I know you said you don't want to just drop your bf because of his feelings (and I'm guessing about how he wouldfeelif you did) but I must say that if you are with him just because you don't want to hurt him then it will not get any easier for you the longer that you leave it and will only make it harder on him also.

What had happen with your ex? Was it him who broke up with you or the other way around?

This is a sticky little situation and there's no real easy fix. You should take some time out to yourself to think about exactly what it is you want (or who it is you want). If you feel you are in a relationship which is not going anywhere then by all means you should move on because it would not be fair on your boyfriend or on you. It would be hard to see your boyfriend with someone else afterwards (I have been there myself too) but that is something that will work both ways - it may also be hard for him to see you with someone else afterwards too. It will just be something that will be unavoidable and you will need to try to deal with.

Sorry I am not much more help on this but I hope you manage to sort out what it is you want. The choice here really is yours and what it is you want because you can't really have it both ways. I wish you the best of luck in your choice.

Ok well I tried out for play at my school and I got one of the lead roles. I was soooo nervous for the audtion and thought I did horrible, but I guess I didnt do as bad as I thought. The problem is that they're making me audition again. I have to read for the part that they cast me as and I'm scared that they'll take my part away from me! So if anyone has any ideas on how I can rehearse or keep my nerves down then that would be great...thanks!

Be confident in yourself. You would only have got this far if they thought you had done good, as you said.

A good way to bring your nerves down a little is to practice talking to a group of people. Try practicing infront of a group of your friends or even infront of your family (just ask them if they can help you with your nerves by watching while you run through a few lines infront of them).

Hopefully that will help a little with your nerves. Other than all I can suggest is practice. Try reading the lines infront of a mirror as well, that will also help. When your out there just concentrate on the job at hand and try not to worry about anything else otherwise it will all be on the back of your mind and will get in the way. You'll do fine. :]

I have a video project due monday and I need to know fairly urgently what a DV device is so I can copy my video to the camera. What is it?

A DV device is a digital video device like a digital camcorder. These allow you to record video which you can then connect and transfer the recording to a PC for editing using the firewire port.

umm i know this might be gross but i need help. on some clothing i wear i sweat sometimes..and i get stains under the armpit area. but what i dont get is i use deoderant and i keep trying to use more and more to prevent it but on some fabrics it just doesnt work. this stinks because im embarrassed to wear my favorite clothing because of this. can anybody help?

Sweating isn't really something that canbe prevented completely but everyone is different. Some people sweat a lot and others hardly do. One way to overcome the not being able to wear your best clothes is to wear something under them that you wouldn't mind being damaged by sweat stains and to change/wash them every day as it may prevent the stains from staying.
If you feel that you are sweating way too much then I would suggest seeing a doctor for advice. There is a condition where a person can sweat in extreme amounts and is a disorder of some kind I had read about many years ago now. Although I doubt it is anything like this it may just be something to look into.

thank you that has helped theres just still 1 part of me which thinks or knos the police could go back on what they said especially if ashleys mum is complaining, im from the uk by the way! My parents no about this and say the same is a hard situation try not too worry because ashleys mum is going to be made the fool! im just worried the school may think im really bad now and will look at me as though she shouldnt be in this school etc. ALso the police may say as we didnt check steph and emily hand bags how do we know there wasnt something in there ( even though the police arnt aloud to do that!

Hi again. Sorry for the delay in my reply but I had a word with a friend of mine who has studied law about the situation with you as I thought it might help.

As I had suspected, here in the UK if you are caught shoplifting in a group, even if onlyone person was responsible the police will usually hold everyone in the group accountable and punish everyone equally. In this case I think you and steph had got really lucky the police didn't do that. As for ashleys mom teling the police you were doing it too and soon, it will come to nothing now at all. There is nothing at all the police can do about it because quite frankly there is no evidence against you or steph (you was correct about what you had said about the handbags too - they would need a warrent to search them). Even if the police now do think there might have been something in your handbags it will all be speculation based and that will be avery, very weak case for the police to play on it's why I know they just won't do anything now to you or steph about this incident. If they do decide to suddenly try to blame you then you can seek legal help because they would be very stupid for even trying to make anything stick on you or steph.

As for ashleys mom - your parents are very right, she will just make herself look very foolish (she already has to me, lol). The school can't judge you by something like this especially just by going by ashleys mom. I really wouldn't worry about it. You won't get into any trouble at the school and trust me they won't be telling you to go to another school. If, and that's a very big if, they do this then ashleys mom can be taken to court for making false accusations against you and the school can also be taken to court for forcing you to leave for such a pathetic reason (especially when its all lies based on some angry shoplifters mom). Seriously, you have nothing to worry about. If you are still worried about the situation then tryhave your parents visit the school head to have a word personally with him/her to have a chat about the whole situation. If the head knows your side of things and what is going on he/she will surely understand.

You really have nothing to worry about from anyone. You did the right thing by not doing what ashley was doing. This is her mistake and you and steph were just someone who were in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong friend.

There is something terribly wrong with my computer and i can't firgure out how to get it back to normal. I HAVE NO START AND ICONS! When i restart my computer all i have is a desktop background nothing is there!!!!! Someone please help me firgure this out! The way I get to programs is through the task maneger. And I dont even know how to get to all programs. Any ADVICE on how to get it all back would be helpful. Thank you!

What programs have you been able to get to so far? Also, what windows version are you using?
When you had last shut down the computer (before your icons and start bar vanished) what had you been doing and how did you shut down your system? Did you do a normal shut down or was there a system crash or any other kind of errors?

I've had this happen to me a few times but a simple reboot into safe mode had fixed the problem after which I had booted back into normal mode.

Is your mouse pointer still working when it gets to the desktop? If so then you may have inadvertantly hidden your icons on the desktop by accident in which case you could try right clicking the mouse to bring up the menu and selecting 'Arrange Icons By' and ensuring that the 'Show Desktop Icons' item is ticked.

i have already spoken to you about the shoplifting insidence.. and something else has happened since. The police phoned Steph and i, telling us although we were with ashley and the time we are still associated with her, said the police, so we have got off lightly this time with no punishment, but ashley is still getting the punishment of not being aloud in any of the town shops for 6 months and never aloud in the 2 shops she stole from again! Ashleys mum and her are not happy with this and are making a complaint dispite the fact the police office phoned up and told me and steph and our parents we are not getting the punishment. SO the police woman who was with us is talking to her sargent so the sargent could well change his mind and say we do not actually have any evidence we as we didnt check emily and stephs hand bags at the time( even though the police are not aloud to check handbags! they just checked stephs carier bag the same as they did with ashley) Ashleys mum is also informing the school about this and telling the head that we all shop lifted. She also said shes going to let everyone else know no so we look like fools! Im now left in a big mess knowing this what are the school going to think dispite its not true and everyone else meaning friends etc? i had nearly got over it and had put it behind when the police had phoned and said eveything is sorted but now ashleys mum is making this complaint everything is going to end for me and going to be a totall mess, i just dont no what to do, ashley even wrote a letter of appology to my parents which said what we did that day (lies). help please everything is going to get worse i can feel it, And her mum always seems to get her way she said shes going to fight until she does!???? :(:(

Hiya.

Wow, such a small little thing and she's taken it this far. I guess for her it's just easier to blame you and steph by saying it was all of you instead of just dealing with the truth that her daughter shoplifted and got caught by the police for doing it.

Laws are different in the USA to the UK and I am uncertain as to where you are from but I really wouldn't let this get to you. As far as the police are concerned you didn't do anything and they can't now suddenly decide you did do something wrong - especially since they have no evidence to say otherwise. I seriously doubt they will now suddenly decide to go back on what they said and decide to hold you responsible as well.

As for ashley's mom - have you spoken to your parents about all of this? About her mom calling up your school and such? It's very petty and stupid - the kind of thing that 5 year olds do in a school yard. From my perspective it has nothing to do with the school so the only reason she's doing it is because she knows ashley was in the wrong and just doesn't want her to look the bad one. You can also have your parents speak to the head of your school too, to straighten things up and make sure the head knows exactly whats going on (about ashleys mom being spiteful about the incident and is now just trying to cause trouble for you and your friend and that the head is welcome to talk to the police to get the truth).

Other than that for now there might not really be anything else you can do for the moment. To be honest with you though don't let what she's saying to everyone bug you. It really won't matter. People wholisten to gossip are people who will believe anything. Your friends and such won't listen anyway or will at least ask you for your side of things and if they choose to believe someone else instead of their own friend then maybe they really wern't all that a good friend anyway. My point is don't worry about it. People are always spreading rumours but at the end of the day ashleys mom won't be able to get away of the truth which is you and steph were innocent and ashley was shoplifting.

I hope everything will calm down just try not to let it all get on top of you. Trust me this petty rubbish really isn't worth it. You and Steph have nothing to worry about. If you need tochat anymore just message me again. :]
