about

Hey! First off, i'm going to start by saying I came here on this site to give people advice. Some people actually don't know the real meaning of advice. They think its the answers they want to hear. But i'm not here for that. I'll give you advice, and it might be something you don't want to hear. But deal with it! You may take my advice or not, its completely up to you and you are not gaurnteed a correct solution.

Ok so now that's clear, I'll talk to you more about myself. Hence the username... I play volleyball. It is my passion and basically my life since I've played for about 7 years. Most of my friends say i'm 50/50 tomboy and girly girl. I LOVE sports!! I play volleyball all year round, and then I go to the park during free times to play some soccer, football, hockey, basketball or baseball with my friends. But then again, I could be inside trying on my new Sephora makeup i'd just gotten, or reading the latest Seventeen magazine or even arranging my clothes for school tomorrow.

You can ask me just about anything and i'll be happy to answer it. You can count on a full and detailed answer.

Oh and another thing... I love getting feedback! Even if its a negative comment. It tells me what I need to work on or even what I did correct.

BODY EXERCISES AND WORKOUTS! my way or the highway

advice

I am going on vacation for a week and my neighbor has offered to water my garden and vegetables while we are gone. She is an older lady, not elderly but older. She lives next door, but we have a lot of land so it will be a hassle for her to come over and get out the hose, then roll it up again...but she offered and I need the help so I accepted.

My question is, I want to do something nice for her in return but I don't know what. I was thinking maybe a gift card to a grocery store or Wal Mart, but how much $$ is appropriate? Thanks for your advice!

Well my family and I went on a vacation for 2 weeks and they watched our dog, and we paid them about 100$. so I would say around 50$

Hope I helped!

I play travel basketball and I sprained my foot dancing. The doctor says I wont be able to play basketball for a while. I have a really big tournament coming up and Its a couple of days after my foot should be healed. My question is, should i participate in the tournament or should i lay off and wait until my foot is fully healed? please help!

It depends on if your foot is ready. I would say lay off of it but if you think it is already healed, go for it! If you still dont know, why dont you go to the tournament and play, but if your foot starts hurting, sit out. I found a website how to take care of your foot. http://www.ehow.com/how_6399_treat-foot-sprain.html

I hope I helped and you will feel better! Good luck on the tournament!

alright, so i have been a veggie for about five years, and i didnt notice anything wrong. but in the past two years my body has been acting different. a year and half ago i was diagnosed with anemia. i had lower and low iron, and i had to take pills so i would have energy. i've been taking blood tests every 4 months since, and they say i've been getting better. Also i've really noticed, with in the past two years, hair loss, or thinning. i never really had thick hair, but it's gotten to be so thin and you can see it on the bathroom floor, it's really gross. it'll fall out when i brush it, wash it, blowdry it, straighten it. anything. i use heat protector aswell.

so my question is .. has anyone gone through this as well? mainly the hair thinning part. and who should i go talk to? when i talk to my mom my mom says "cause you dont eat" and i do. i eat a lot. and my doctor says "we'll run some tests" but we never do. is there a certain doctor that i should see? thank you.

I am not sure if there are alot of "hair" doctors, but I searched it up on google and I came up with this: http://www.hairsite.com/female/docdirectory.htm
check it out. What I am confused on is what does it mean " you are a veggie"? Is it because you dont eat enough veggies??? I say go to another doctor but is a "hair" doctor, then ask him what can i do to help myself? Maybe eating food that have iron in it? or maybe just healthy fruits and veggies?

I hope I helped and that everything will go Ok!! :D

I am trying to train up for the cheerleading squad... How can I do that? Running around the neighborhood is not a good option right now, but in the house we do have some free weights and rubber bands. I just want to be stronger and more ready for the practices. Can anyone help me?

Lifting weights will make your arms stronger... so that will definitaly help.
Heres a site that will help you. http://cheerleading.about.com/od/healthandfitness/
Try doing a couple of push-ups, sit-ups, jump roping, wall sits ((pretending to sit on an invisible chair against the wall)
here's another site that might help: http://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/shoulder-exercises.html

Okay, 2 Q's...

#1: What is this Garnier Fructis stuff and how does it work?

#2: My hair is about shoulder length and layered. I can wear it curly or straight and flipped out. I can pull it into a ponytail, but I can only braid it about an inch, and half of the hair had fallen out anyway. My hair is golden blonde and it usually cooperates pretty well. My question is this: What is a formal way that I can wear my hair? At least nicer than a ponytail.

Any answers will be great. THX!

#1. Garnier Fructis is a shampoo/hair spray company.
I use it and I think it works great!

#2. http://www.geocities.com/mka_wonderland/
go to that website and click on hair. you should come up with many hairstyles!

I hope i helped!

I've been having this horrible pain, about 5 inches to the right of my belly button. It'll come for about 30 seconds, then go away. But it`ll hurt so bad it forces me to sit down.
(its not period cramps, it hurts much worse, and its totally different, plus I had mine last week)

And now, I feel faint, really hott, and super dizzy. When I was at the movies I was nauses (sp?)
What could be wrong? Please help, I feel horrible!

Did you eat anything like a popcorn seed? or an eggshell? If yes, I think its your appendix. Heres a website for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermiform_appendix
If its not your appendix, i suggest go seeing a doctor! I hope I helped!

k i was wondering if any of these things counted as cardio and helped to lose fat,cause these are things i could do like, before bed..

: lemon squeezes(like a crunch but you bring your knees up to your chest so you move your whole body)
: bicycles(lay on the floor and bring your right leg up and touch it to your left elbow,etc.)
: jumping jacks
: continuous backbends and handstands and cartwheels and stuff

i figured if i did that for like, a half hour/45 minutes every night (or morning, or wtv) i could get into better shape my say, next month.

thanks

The lemon squeezes,bicycles, and jumping jacks are good to lose fat. I am not sure if backbends,handstands,and cartwheels lose fat...:/
You could also try Jumproping, push-ups, wall sits ((back against the wall... just like sitting on an invisible chair against the wall)). All of those could help. :D

does garnier fruitis acutally make hair grow faster and cut down on the split ends and stuff? because i blowdry and straighten my hair a lot and my hair is getting unhealthy so does any garnier fruitis product make my hair healthier?

I use garnier all the time. If you wash it, dont blow dry it because overdrying your hair causes strands to dry out and break. Your best choice is to blowdry your hair 80 percent dry, and let the rest dry naturally. When you can, you should skip the blowdryer altogether.
I hope I helped!

I'm 16 and I'm fixing to have my 17th birthday (by the way, I'm female). I always have a party for my birthday. I'm having about ten people over and I need some advice on what to do for my party. I want something fun, but a little mature. I'm having it in my game room. It has a game table (like ping pong, air hockey, pool, etc), stereo, and tv. I'm inviting about 8 girls and 2 guys. Any suggestions as to things we can do at the party??

I cant exactly tell you. BUT i can give you some websites that probably will give you some ideas.

maybe a movie marathon?

When giving advice to someone on this website, i usually tell my point of view about the situation, and i also tell them the truth and what is right to do.But when i do that, i usually get rated a 1 or 3 because the people simply didn't hear what they wanted to hear. So my question is , how can we make people listen to what they are saying, and not just cover their ears and close their infront of the truth, and let go to hear what they want to hear. i have tried to help people alot, but they just don't seem to listen. i really want to help them, and i care so much about helping people and making them happy much more than i care about my ratings.So what do i do to make them listen to the truth?

Try making your answer short... most people dont like reading answers that are really long. Make it short and sweet. Dont go overboard and give them more than what they asked for. I hope I helped and that you will get more questions soon.

I have a friend she does nothing but drag me down and talk about my other friends. How do I tell her I don't won't to be her friend anymore?

First, think about what you are doing. Put yourself in your friends shoes and think about what her reaction will be. I suggest ((if she gets mad easily)) writing her a note, leaving a message on her cell/phone, or talking to her.
Tell her how you feel exactly and tell her that she isnt really paying attention to you, only to your other friends. I hope I helped! :D

Hey all. Well, I'm 14/f and I'm entering the 9th grade in August. I was thinking about playing volleyball in highschool, even though I don't have that much experience (playing in p.e. class), and they said that no experience is needed. I'm not sure if I should try-out because I don;t know if it would be best to be on the team in the 9th grade, or wait till next year, go to volleyball camp before the next season, and try-out in the 10th grade. I'm confused, and I don't know what to do. Could you guys help me. Also, what are they looking for, as of skills that'll get you on the team? Thanks.

Of course you should try-out! The saying is practice makes perfect... as long as you practice you should become a great player. What they are looking for is not only skills, but they are looking for attitude and confidence. In try-outs, keep your head high and have a positive attitude. Its your choice when you want to try-out. I SUGGEST that you join right away so you can practice more. But its your choice. Go to camps, and you can become a talented player. trust me. I play volleyball and i get nervous about camps and i always have 2nd thoughts... go and try new things. remember- a positive attitude, practice alot and you should get on a good team.
