Hello. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any sites where I could play Bingo, or any other easy and fun games where I can win actual money!! If that's possible, someone please let me know asap. I'm really bored! I'd appreciate it. I don't wanna play games for nothing. Oh and if it's possible I don't wanna have to pay for anything. I've already played games on www.pogo.com and I've tried www.bingo.com Thank you very much!!!! :)

You could try www.miniclip.com (cash games link) and games.yahoo.com

Those are the only sites I know...

=) Hope I helped.

I have average-sized lips....not big, not thin......but they're very, very pale pink. So pale you can hardly see them. And the edges are white, making my lips look really faded, and than they actually are.

Is this a nutrition problem or something? Is there any way to make them have more blood in them WITHOUT makeup?

And I mean using no makeup.

I agree with the previous advice. Eat more meat, things with iron in them, I guess...

If you want a quick way to 'redden' your lips a bit, brush them. Use your regular toothbrush and just brush your lips. It will exfoliate the dead skin and at the same time, make your lips a bit bigger and redder. Only for a while though because it goes away sometime later.

What's a comeback I can say to someone who said YOUR MOM? And if it's a comeback that I won't get in trouble by the teacher, could you write it in captials? thanks

If I were you, I wouldn't be offensive or anything like that.

Instead, I'd try my best to confuse them and make them go 'huh?'

For example:
"YOUR MOM!"
You say: "YOUR CHEMISTRY BOOK!"

I know it sounds strange, but that's how I won my 'your mom' battles. =) And your teacher won't really get upset that way.

Okay, so I haven't had my period yet and I think I'll have it towards the month's end. And my birthday happens towards the month's end. So here's the prob: my fam and friends will go on an out of town trip and we'll go swimming. Now, how the heck can I swim when I have my period? I don't use tampons but I heard that if you use tampons while swimming then there's nothing to worrry about. Is that true?! And I've also heard this thing that the "flow" stops once you're underwater so you don't have to worry. Is this also true or is this just a myth?!

Please do help me! This is urgento!

Hey,

I'm not really sure but when my sis used it and went swimming .. it 'leaked' =). It might be different with every person.

Maybe you won't have your period by then...don't worry. =) But the flow won't stop if you're underwater.

How about taking those pill thingies that delay your period? I'm not sure if I want to recomment this since you haven't had your period yet...Try talking to your mom and see what she says.

Happy bday in advance!

Kay.

15, 160cm, 140-something lbs.

I really want to lose atleast 15 pounds by summer time.. you know so I won't look .. flabby in a bathing suit. I want to lose weight in the tummy (I have a 'bowl full of jelly' haha) area and thighs/butt.

However I find it really difficult to stick to a plan, there is no gym that doesn't require a fee near my area, and my parents are too stingy to drive me (yet they tell me I'm fat and I should go do something that would help me get skinnier all the time lol). I also find myself snacking straight when I come back from school, argh.

Soooo.. yeah, what to do.

P.S Please don't tell me something like to drink something like ... 8 glasses of milk a day, because it's a lot... water is understandable.

P.S no. 2 - Is 160cm 5'3 or 5?

160cm=5'3

www.sparkpeople.com. It's a REALLY helpful site, you know... Requires registration and all that, and is VERY confusing. However it will help you reach your target in the time span that you want (no more than 1 kilos per week though).

If you're impatient and all that, try the Cabbage Soup Diet. You can lose up to 10 pounds in 7 days. Here's the link:

http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/

You basically have to make this soup, right? So ask your mom (you can do this too - it's easy) to make the soup. Now what you do is eat ONLY what's stated on the "7-day plan" page (the links are up above in blue, so is the recipe for the soup). Don't branch off to mini snacks. Just stick to the program, even if it's just eating veggies or ONLY fruit. And of course, you have to drink the cabbage soup during the day, as often as you wish.

There's a different 'meal' per day.
Day 1: Fruit
Day 2: Veggies
Day 3: Days 1 & 2 mixed
Day 4: Bananas and skim milk
Day 5: Beef and tomatoes
Day 6: Beef and vegetables
Day 7: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and veggies.

You have to drink the soup AT LEAST once a day.

If you're not too fond of veggies .. well .. I don't know. I hate to tell you to do situps and all that - I've been where you are right now, trust me, and the last thing you need is having someone tell you to do the impossible. Just give it a shot, check with your parents first though.

=)

Happy cabbaging!
Kay.

I am going to a school dance this weekenn (not my school, my friend's) and I will not know anyone there but 10 other friends that are going. Anyways, I went to one before and it wasn't much fun. How can I have more fun at the dance? I want to dance with alot of guys to ad have fun with them. I just want to totally break loose, go crazy, and not care what people are thinking. How can I do it?

Hey,

This reminds me of myself back ages ago. This is what I used to do. You don't have to do it but the words "crazy" and "not care what people are thinking" fits in the description below. Read on =).

1. I'd bellydance to the non-bellydanceable music - I don't know how to, but I do it. It's just too random and people start to notice you.
2. Do different dance moves: Johnny Bravo (the arms stretched out, fists, and arms moving up and down while you turn left and right XD), Willy Wonka move (the fingers intertwined and in a 'wavy' position'), the box dance, the chicken dance, the robot, um what else...oh, standing still doing nothing. =)
3. I'd be the first one on the dancefloor. Ok - where do the guts come from? Dare yourself to do it or ask someone else to dare you.
4. Dance close to a group of guys.
5. If you do all the goofy moves mentioned above, I'm sure people will start to join you and next thing you know, the entire dancefloor is doing the robot! XD

These are just suggestions .. I can't think of anything else to add. If it's too weird and crazy for you, then forget it.

Have fun though!

=)

ok so on friday my friends and i want to get a little buzzed before going to a dance. we are each going to drink one bear. then my mom is going to drive us to the dance. is she going to be able to tell that we were drinking? (by the way we look, smell, or acting?) please don't say I am too young. and any other tips on this please share!

Hey,

I'm back here for two reasons:
1. To apologize
2: To change my advice

I want to say sorry because I know I did something very inconsiderate... The word 'drink' just created this rush in me and I don't know why I gave you that horrible advice. I'm sorry. See, the thing is, I'm under therapy. I'm addicted to alcohol because I started drinking at an early age (6 ... don't ask) and it just got worse and worse. I don't want that to happen to you. I know what craving feels like and trust me hon, that's one feeling I don't want you to feel, ever. I don't want to confuse you with this. I understand that my rating will change and you might hate me forever for doing this, but I want to do my part. So here I am. I'm sorry.

Second thing, my advice. Even if you told your mother that the 'smell' is your perfume .. hon, she's your mother. She's not stupid, she knows you. She knows what you smell like. And having your friends there will just make things worse if you got caught. I know it's too late for this advice now and god knows what you drank and how it felt. I don't want to come to this site everytime thinking that I gave you the most harmful advice ever...You might see it as a "great help" but I see it as a criminal act.

I don't want to tell you not to drink or to drink socially ... In fact, I'm lost for words. I don't know what to give you as an advice. I guess 'don't lose control' and 'just because THEY'RE doing it doesn't mean that you have to do it too' will do for now. I hope my advice didn't make you do something bad =(. I know it's over, but in the future, please don't consider what I told you last time...Forget it, erase it, delete it from your memory card.

I'm sorry again.
Kay.


Note: I also apologize to all the readers and moderators. I'm sorry.

i need to color something gold.

i have a standard 12 crayola colored pencil pack.

can someone tell me how i would make gold... ?

specific directions.. like "put yellow on first, then smudge a little brown on top" or something.

pleasee & thankss.

Hey,

Alright. I've studied color theory and all about artsy stuff. Anywhoo. Right now, I'm holding my color wheel, and it looks like there is a solution!

It's quite simple really. Add a lil bit of black to your regular yellow. The more the black, the darker your gold. I will be close to this dried mustard color thingy. If you want, try adding just a tiny bit of orange.

So your three colors are:

Yellow
Black
Orange (possibility)

Experiment on a piece of scrap paper first and see what you come up with with and without the orange, different intensities of black, etc.

Hope this helps!

God I love it when people ask questions about art!

what is the 3-d symbol on top of the parthenon? i can't really see it that clearly on all the google images. please dont just say "try googling it." thankss.

If this helps:

All I know is that it's a frieze there with a bunch of figures. I'd go search in my Art History books but I'm too tired and still got a poster to finish up for tomorrow!

But I found this:

Frieze

The most characteristic feature in the architecture and decoration of the temple is the Ionic frieze running around the exterior walls of the cella. Carved in bas-relief, the frieze was carved in situ and it is dated in 442-438 BC.

One interpreation is that it depicts an idealized version of the Panathenaic procession from the Dipylon Gate in the Kerameikos to the Acropolis. In this procession held every year, with a special procession taking place every four years, Athenians and foreigners were participating to honour the goddess Athena offering sacrifices and a new peplos (dress woven by selected noble Athenian girls called ergastines).


Another interpretation of the Frieze is based on Greek Mythology. This interpretation postulates that the scenes depict the sacrifice of Pandora, youngest daughter of Erechtheus to Athena. This human sacrifice was demanded by Athena to save the city from Eumolpus, king of Eleusis who had gathered an army to attack Athenes. [2]

Good luck, hope I helped!

what are some appopriate songs that can be played for something like a graduation? like, finishing middle school/junior high isn't really like you're graduating, but it is the end of your middle school/junior high years. so what are songs that can be related to that? new songs would be really nice, but it doesn't have to be. it should also be more fast songs than slow, since i already have some. but if you have any songs that you think will be nice to play in a graduation-type occasion, that would be good.

thanks!

"The Wall" by Pink Floyd too, hehe.

I worrying so much, about love life, famliy, career, friends, will i be myself when i move away. i worrying what others think about me, i'm worryed right now! How do you stop worrying?

Well, I'm not really sure about your age and I don't want to guess, but I can tell you this. For now, just live your life. Don't worry about what's coming tomorrow. Your future path will be clearer as the days go by, don't worry about that.
And I can also tell you this: expect change. People will change, situations will change, almost everything will change. Maybe that's what you're most afraid of at the moment: facing change with no one there to support you and guide you through it.
Also, don't worry about what others think of you. No matter what they tell you, you rock. You don't need others to tell you what you are or what you have to be. That's a decision you make and there's nothing in the world that can stop you from doing that.

=)
Stay strong! Don't worry =)

hey guys! ok here\'s the thing...my whole life i\'ve been avoiding dating guys becasue i keep thinking that i want a serious relationship one day and im a bit young for that now...(im 16) plus i have so many trust issues...i keep thinking that somehow..someway im just going to end up getting hurt...and something is going to go wrong! btw im the type of person who doesnt want to get hurt...well everyones like that but i try to stay from it as far as possible...and i also dont like hurting people...sooo...

so i've never went out with a guy before..never dated..never kissed...etc. (and im not allowed to date well no one is here ...but everyone does it anyway...and i dnt mind that so its not an issue)

yesterday i was asked out on a date for dinner by a guy who i barely know! like we've seen each other like twice and we talk online a lil bit and then he asks me online.. you see im not sure if its a date but im taking a hint and thinking it is :s
and we've planning on seeing each other again and hang out an everything because we're in different skools and stuff... so ya..

guy: hey r you free on thursday?
me: it might be a bit difficult for me to go out on thursday...but friday sure :d
guy: ok cool i want to reserve you on friday
me: haha you have a reservation on friday :p...what time?
guy: loool would you like to go to the inter. i have dinner invetations for 2 people
me: cool from who r the invitatoins?
guy: my dad's
me: cool....wat time?
guy: i don't know i'll see...wats your number
me: *number*
guy: kk i'll see and call ya

so anyways i think hes a nice guy and it would be nice to get to know him...but the thing is ive never been on a date before!!! so not only am i nervous but im seriously having second thoughts here....i told my friends i dnt want to date and theyre like then cancel it with him and go on a group outing next time...but part of me wants to go on a date...i dunno im getting pulled on two sides here!! help ppl...any advice would be much appreciated! :D . so should i go and have dinner with him or just say i cant today im sorry i owe u one ..then we go on a group outing to a movie or something...

Hey dearest,

Give it a shot. Honestly. What do you have to lose? If you feel like he's being pushy or you know, whatever (you know how guys are like in where you live), you can always give a certain friend a call *cough cough* and ask her to come pick you up and take you back home.

Go out on the first date. Have fun. And if things don't work out, don't think of it as a heartbreak or 'he stole my first date'. There's no such thing as stealing in this world. We all steal. It's too common these days that even dictionaries will stop posting that word in the index...Just go for it. Obviously, the dude has a reason why he asked you out. Go and find out! XD

Best of luck though. Let me know what happens.

Kay.

so you have information on the unsolve mysteries? im really interested i just need to no if its aruguable or not though. what kind of information do you have?

Hey.

Well, there's this book I have that categorizes the different 'mysteries'.

Mysteries of
1. Crime and Intrigue
2. The Deep
3. The Skies
4. The Mind
5. Science and Discovery
6. Ghosts and Ghouls
7. The Wild

I guess you tell me which cat. you're interested in and i can narrow it down from there. If you want examples of each let me know.

In face, I'll do that now XD.

(Number one for cat. 1, etc..)
1. Evita, Jack the Ripper, etc.
2. Atlantis, creatures of the deep, Loch Ness monster, etc.
3. UFOs, black holes, how birds migrate, etc.
4. predictions (this one's freaky..), power over pain, voices from the dead,
5. spontaneous human combustion, curse of king Tut, secret of stonehenge, the face of Christ,
6. faces on the floor, spirits (good n evil), pleas from afterlife, etc
7. Bigfoot, Bermuda triangle, El Dorado, etc.

Now these are just some of the ones I picked from each cat.

Think about it and let me know so I can tell you more.

I'm so glad you asked me this qu! =)

Just started my 1st period.The week before I got loads of discharge,sometimes gooey sometimes mustardy kind of textur,and I hadny been able to get to sleep - is that because my body was preparing for it?

Any tips?

Yeah, I'd think so. Just keep yourself warm, drink tea, you know, all that stuff. The texture bit is perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.

Just remember to keep yourself warm, k? Especially during wintertime...if you haven't experienced cramps yet - i hope you don't ever get to - that's totally normal too. It's different with every person, in fact.

=) Best of luck!

[view]

so like, how most girls "mistake spotting for their period" is that because its kind of a lot of blood? its too early for it to be my period and it was like spotting earlier and i got tired of going to the bathroom and wiping like every ten min so i put a tampon in and it was in for like 7 hours maybe? and i took it out and it looked filled (it was only a small one). could that still be spotting? or do you think its just my period? its not bright red blood like it normally is though, its more pinkish and brownish. i am having little cramps though. im 15 so it could just be irregular i guess, but i havent ever had a problem with that before. so, spotting or period?

Hey,

I think it's your period.. if the tampon was filled, then ... you know. It starts slow then gets all heavy and 'river'like XD.

my boyfriend is a REALLY bad kisser. i mean i'v kissed people who were bad before, but my boyfriend is really bad.Like he shoves his tounge down my throat literally. i mean im not going to dump him over this. i juss want to be able to kiss him. How do i fix this? thank you for any help.

Hey,

Let him know. Offer him 'kissing lessons'. It will also help him to 'improve' if you tell him you're not dumping him over it. It will make him see that you're serious about it and he'll improve.

Tell him that you're concerned about it because it involved 'us' and not just 'me'.

Best of luck and smooches.

I`m making a cd for my music class to represent my "personality" & it has to have 12 songs that show me but i want them to be songs i havent heard so i can get into new and different kinds of stuff. any reccomendtations?

& i like these songs:
you're not alone-saosin
seven years-saosin
lost without you-blink 182
& etc. so can anyone name g0od songs like that?
or any good rock, emo, screamo, alternative bands/songs? thanks.

How about:

"Gingerbreak Coffin" by Rasputina (maybe relates to your childhood, when you were different from the rest of the kids - it does with me)
"Lebanese Nights" by Chris De Burgh (if you've lived a war - i have)
"Airport Song" by Guster (if you've moved recently or live in a place you don't like)
"Coin Operated Boy" by The Dresden Dolls (for girls: if you've had a breakup recently and want a boy who's not real [coin operated XD])
"Colored People" by DC Talk (if you're against racism)
"Stupid MF" by Mindless Self Indulgence (this is confusing to explain ... I guess it's addressed to people who're annoying and need you to tell them the same thing 5 times for them to understand! if people like that piss you off, this song's for you!)
"The New Zero" by Rasputina (if you're the new kid at school who's rejected and wants to go someplace where she will be accepted)
"Lazy" by Freezepop (if you LOVE sleeping and hate getting up early in the morn - this song literally makes you fall in love with sleeping!)
"Message in a Bottle" by Police (if you're someone who wants to reach out to the world for help and to give a message)

Again, check the lyrics of these songs. They're reallllly meaningful! You'll get the message across like that *snaps fingers*.

Best of luck!
Kay.
