Hello, all! I haven't had much life experience compared to some people, but I can give you my view of things, and I'll do my best to give an honest opinion. Ask me anything and I'll answer as best I can!

Myself, I'm a Nursing Assistant finishing up some classes before I start working. My interests include cooking, martial arts, music, video games, gardening, acting, reading, and paintball. My girlfriend is slowly pulling me into politics, but she's drawing me in none the less. =P I love her so much!

im a 15 year old girl and im around 5'9" and 150 pounds.. is that average? i have a little pouch in the front that i HATE so im gonna lose weight soon but what would be the average weight i should be? (link)
Here's some charts that might be of help...

http://www.halls.md/chart/height-weight.htm

It gives averages of weight and height, but not weight vs. height as far as I can see... Google it and you should come up with something more.

Good luck!


my boyfriend recently cheated on me with my ex friend. well he admitted to it and asked my forgivness so i forgave him and my friend hasn't forgave or admitted. but two days ago she called his cell fone and left a message that told him to call her back. the next day i looked on his cell and he called her. wat shoudl i do? wat should i say to him and her? should i make her admit it and say sorry? (link)
Cheating is probably the worst thing that can happen in a relationship next to domestic violence. You know that he called her back, but he doesn't know you know. That right there could hurt him quite a bit, because he could take it as meaning you don't trust him. In a relationship, trust is one of the most important elements. If it doesn't exist, than neither does your relationship. Sorry if that sounds harsh...

Keep things simple and straightforward. All you really need to ask him is if he responded to the message, and ask him what he said. You don't really know what he said, but it could have been anything. Don't take the angry approach even though you're hurting. If the guy said that he was sorry, trust that he's sincere unless you have solid proof otherwise.

I hope this helps... I've never been cheated on, but I've seen others go through a lot of heck in relationships. However, people have tried to screw with my girlfriend and I before and that's what it seems your "ex-friend" is trying to do. Don't trust anything she tells you. You should probably just ignore her.


this is gunna be long im so pissed right now so im gunna ask you if you think this is not messed up. so jason & i were supposed to hang out 2day after his games and we havent hung out in like 2 weeks right? & we got into a huge fight over the phone the other day so i was hoping we are gunna hang out & last night he told me we are gunna hang out after his games today so dont make any plans so im sittin here and im waitin to go hang out with him he calls & he is like o well we cant hang out tonight cause i am goin out with the guys from the team to do somethin since we have been winnin and shit & im just like ok cause im just not in the mood to make a big deal about it..then he is like well i was scared to ask you b*c i didnt want you to be mad & all this & i said its whatever jason & he was like dont make plans 4 tomorrow cause i wanna hang out with you..anyway it would be different if he only did this once or whatever but he always does this and it pisses me off especially since we havent hung out in like 2 weeks and we got into that fight..so now im pretty much stuck here cause i waited for him to come home so we could do something..& 2morrow i think im gunna give him a taste of his own medicine and he wants to hang out ill tell him i cant cause i have something to do..i dont know what do you think about the whole thing? i dont know maybe its just me but dont you think if the plans changed he should have asked if i wanted to go or something? like maybe its just me but that seems like the right thing for a boyfriend to do.

Instead of looking for revenge, try talking to him about it first. Tell him that he's hurting you and explain why. If he doesn't listen to that, blows you off, or responds with something equally rude then it's time to: let him have it. If he doesn't listen to you when you tell him that he's hurting you he's nothing more than a jerk and definately not a good boyfriend. A girlfriend should never be "backup" or be paid attention to only when her boyfriend has nothing better to do. You're a person, you have feeling, and they aren't worth any less than other people's.

Yeah, it's kind of a messed up situation... Good luck, though!


Okay. This is kinda gross. My feet smell and it's a disgusting odor. It's really embarressing if you go to someone's house and have to take your shoes off. Is there a way I can control the odor? Please help!! (link)
You probably have athlete's foot or something. While most people think of it as itching and burning, there's smell that goes along with it too. I would get a anti-fungal powder spray for your feet from the store. Also, wear shoes that breathe well. Chances are that a reason for the smell is dampness and sweat. Keep your feet dry! If you wear boots all the time, switch to something cooler like tennis shoes, or only wear shoes when you need them. And make sure you always wear clean socks. =P

Those are a few things that you can do to prevent the smell.


okay I was talking to this guy I'm starting like a lot now, and we were talkin tonight. He called me baby and I asked him if he was callin me baby or A BABY. and he said he called me baby and I go why? Not like I mind, but I wanna know, and he's like because I wanted to.Thennn;; he said he was glad his yahoo finally worked because he was gettin mad because he couldn't talk to me, so mad he was gunna cry, and I go awe you were gunna cry just because we couldn't talk? I feel special and he goes uou are.... and he knows I like him... and I was like you need to want a girlfriend, and he's like I have to much stuff to do, and i'm always busy so I'd never get to see or talk to them so thats why I dont want a girlfriend right now...

and I feel so foolish for saying that... but I mean does it sound like he'd ever really want me for a girlfriend? or was he just being nice? what do you think? we've known each other since 2nd grade and now I'ma sophmore and he's a freshman ((He failed)) but yeah he used to like me and I didnt like him... sooo did time change things like did tables turn... me likin him... but not viseversa... orr does he like me? is there a chance??

please? thanks so much! (link)
I can't offer much... But here it goes:

You say he failed to pass to the next year. And he says that he has too much stuff to do. To me, that sounds like he's telling you he needs to focus on his schoolwork, rather than get a girlfriend like so many other guys his age are probably doing. Don't take that the wrong way, though. What he's showing is responsibility, and at his age it's pretty unique to see dedication like that. So this could very well mean that he's worth it! From the way he speaks to you, I would say that he does like you. His priorities for the moment seem to be school, but that doesn't mean his feelings for you are nonexistant.

Instead of just wondering if he likes you or not, try and find out, or show him that you care for him rather than just saying it outright. Remember: actions speak louder than words. Do things for him like offer to help him with his school work (since you're a grade higher he might appreciate that). Be there for him; but if he can't define what you and he are at the moment, then don't worry: just focus on being a part of his life.

Best of luck! ^_^


I'm a bit of a slob, and while re-organizing my closet (aka picking my clothes up off the floor), I found a whole lot of mouse poop. I don't really keep food in my room, and when I do eat in my room, it's not in the closet.

So how do I get rid of the mice? I keep my clothes in this area, so I'd rather not use strong chemicals. I also don't want to be picking up dead mice. So what's the most humane, safest way to get rid of them? (link)
Fist try finding out how the little buggers got in and cover the hole. If you're not into killing them, you can get a type of device at the store that sends out certain frequencies of sound which mice just love to hate. That should keep the mice away somewhat if you're not up for killing the little fuzzballs outright. If you have a small pet, like a hampster or something, I would recomend checking if this "sonic mouse repeller" would bother it before you turn it on.


ok well today i went to eat thai food for the first time and i loved it!! we had desert called sticky rice and thats like my fav now! but i want to make it here at home.. does anyone know how?? and my friend said its better with mango or something... can someone tell me step by step how to make it bc websites just confuse me... thanks (link)
The kind of rice that you're talking about isn't the typical kind you get in stores, so you're probably going to have to go to an Asian market. The type we use is a brand called "Homai," and the type of rice is Calrose rice. I'm not very familar with the recipies, but you should probably look into getting a rice cooker, as normal pans can easily burn the rice if you're not careful. And yeah, the stuff is awesome! Good luck!
