About MaxwellsSilverHammer



I am a 20 year urban planning student from New York. I go to school, and work, way too much.

I'm a level II mod on this site, so if you have questions regarding the site I could be of good help.

As for my crappy advice: it is crappy. If you listen to anything I suggest you will most probably find yourself running through town naked, or something equally hilarious, because I am a sadist.

And of course, I will hit you with my guitar, and then steal all of your intelligence for my own personal stash.

(My avatar, that is just above, was made by Draak, it is Thor's Hammer, or Mjolner.)

P.S.: Storageanddisposal is actually 12, and Fern sucks.

i know there are like excerisizes to make a guys penis bigger, but are there any to make your breasts bigger?

Doing exercises will only reduce fat content in your breasts, making them significantly smaller if you do it enough, and make your pectorial muscles bigger, which will make your chest bigger but not your actual breasts.

How much weight would you say is healthy to lose over like a week or so?

Depends on your weight, but if you go over 5% of your current body weight then that's probably too much.

You would be cooler if you were today's featured user AND your page views was the same as your user number. It's close but no gummy cigar.

But you see, my featured user status has resulted in a massive spike in my popularity, only draining away from yours. JEALOUS?

And, build a strong enough rope with which to hang yourself, because you suck.

AND WHAT?

i have to read a book for english and i cant decide on what to do.

the only main requirements are that it has to be atleast 200 pages (no more than 300 please) and at our reading leve (10th grade)

my favorite book is the giver but i cannot read that because it is too short and i like books along that line.

i like more true to life kind of books with relatable characters and i dislike things like harry potter and lord of the rings

any suggestions? please if you name a book give me a little background info on it!

Well, in the 10th grade I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Scarlett Letter, "The Crucible," One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, "Death of a Salesman," and The Great Gatsby. (I can't italicize book titles here, so assume the ones not in quotes are.)

The two in quotes are plays, and still too short. I wouldn't really recommend The Scarlett Letter, because I sort of hated that one. Huck Finn wasn't bad, but if you're looking for a solider book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is your book.

The setting is in an asylum, and it follows the battles between the ward patients (led by the rowdy new patient McMurphy) and the head nurse.

It's about 250 pages, but I (someone who doesn't really like to read that much) can certainly say that it's a captivating novel. You might not be able to relate to the characters exactly (since they're adults in a mental ward), but it provokes feelings of empathy for them, and from what I've experienced in reading it has roughly the same effect.

I was recently with my boyfriend for 5 days straight all alone, and we had sex many many many many times...and we of course knew that there were possibilities of having a baby.

I was wondering if the number of times you have sex in a period of time increases your chance of pregnancy...or if it just doesn't really matter?

Well, let's pretend that each time you have sex there's a 1 in 10 chance you get pregnant.

If you just did it once then you'd have a 1/10 or 10% chance. But if you did it four times you'd have a 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 chance, or 40%.

So mathematically speaking, yes, you're more likely to get pregnant.

But biologically (which is probably what you meant) speaking, having sex more often won't create some change in your body to make you more likely to be pregnant.

I'm a trumpet player, and I went on vacation for spring break this week. Now I'm back, and I can hardly play a thing. My chops are way out of shape, and its never been this bad before. Just wondering if there were any suggestions that could help me get back in shape quickly. Like by Monday...??? Please let me know if you can help me.

Try to do exercizes on the trumpet, like simple scales and gradually increase the tempo.

When you feel like you've gotten your flow back, try to play your music again.

For no reason at all, I keep blacking out. It happens very often and I don't know why. What should I do? My mom told me its because I need to excersize more...is she right? Please Help.

Low blood pressure, an empty stomach, standing too long or taking hot showers are all things that can result in blacking out (and a combination of any of them makes it worse).

If you're blacking out a lot, see if it's because of one of these things, and if it is, change it (except low blood pressure, you can't change that without pills).

Me and my boyfriend were just talking and stuff (we've been together for a lil over a month) we went out before in the summer and that lasted almost 4 months but anyways he told me im the only girl he ever loved n stuff and how much i mean to him and he told my best friend one of his wishes and its nothing gross or anything but idk is this a weird wish for a guy to want?

he wants to marry me when we are older... like 6-7 years from now.

Is that weird?

Yes, it is.

Lots of boys and girls can be very quixotic when they're dating, and especially if it's the first. They have this "together forever" notion, meanwhile half of them break up in two weeks.

If he doesn't say anything to you about it, then I would just ignore it. He'll probably realize he's being silly, or someone else will tell him. But if he shares this desire with you, tell him that's it's not realistic.

In order to acquire your driver's permit at the age of 15, you must first take a test at the dmv to determine whether or not you're prepared to drive. Is there anywhere online that I can find the questions that will be on the Texas driver's permit test so that I can properly prepare my daughter and narrow down what we're studying to what is absolutely essential?

Thank you.

Well, I started here, at the DMV site - http://www.dmv.org/tx-texas/practice-tests.php

And the first link is to a practice test - http://virtualdriveofamerica.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=VDT&Category_Code=TX-TEST&AFFIL=DMV

Also, the second link there is to a driving handbook, which you can download as a PDF to spare yourself a trip to the DMV - http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/ftp/forms/DLhandbook.pdf

What can I use to prevent kidney stones! I get them regularly ! I have minimal daily pain to my left kidney and less to my right kidney and urinate at least 1 stone per 2 months out of my system with great pain when it struggles to get thru my penis !

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_Stone#Treatment

"Preventive strategies include dietary modifications and sometimes also taking drugs with the goal of reducing excratory load on the kidneys:

-Drinking enough water to make 2 to 2.5 litres of urine per day.
-A diet low in protein, nitrogen and sodium intake.
-Restriction of oxalate-rich foods and maintaining an adequate intake of dietary calcium is recommended. There is no convincing evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of stone formation.
-Taking drugs such as thiazides, potassium citrate and allopurinol depending on the cause of stone formation."

This sounds pretty odd but I have scars on my breasts from ingrowing hairs. It used to be only a couple here and there but now it's become an obsession - if I see an ingrowing hair I just HAVE to get it out, and obviously that breaks the skin and it causes scarring, as breast skin is delicate. Before I was always happy to get my boobs out when with a guy (as they ARE good lol) but now I'm so self-concious! What do I do? And is there anything I can use to make the scarring fade?

The best thing for you would be to see a dermatologist. They have a cream for everything, and likely for that.

If all the stuff you said is happening all at once, then it sounds like the marriage is going to fall apart on its own soon.

And that may be for the best, no one wants to be in a loveless marriage. It'll be just as bad as a turbulent one. The person your mom is seeing now is probably "bad" because he's the first for her outside the marriage. If your parents split up, then they will probably find better people for each other, not like the guy your mom is seeing now.

I am 17 years old and have had braces for the past 3 years. My teeth are no where near being fixed even though my ortho says that he'll have them off in 4 months (by Grad) but I doubt he will because they were supposed to be on for only 2 years. I had two teeth pulled out and the gap for the large part is gone but now my teeth are spread a little farther apart (you can't notice). I was also supposed to get my overbite fixed and that has only improved by 20% over the past few years.
So I need a little bit of advice on this:
1. Do guys care if a girl has braces? Please be honest on this. I want to know if this is a factor to support me taking my braces off.
2. So he hasn't been able to fix the gap in 3 years, will he able to do it in four months? What's the point in keeping them on for now if they won't be fixed by May anyway. My ortho doesn't act like it's a big deal, "Oh we'll have it done by Grad" but he doesn't understand that I spent the majority of my high school career in BRACES and that's not how I wanted to be remembered/remember myself.
3. So should I get them taken off?

I can't answer your first question, but to your second, I will tell you that people don't remember you by your braces. They become very unnoticeable and people don't really care about them.

To your third, I wouldn't suggest that. If you want to, you can tell your dentist, "do whatever you can by May, and then that's it, no more." Or whatever month you want them off by. But if you've had them for a few years, a few months won't make a difference, and if you want them off before graduation you might as well wait as close to it as you can to have them taken off.

hello. im a muslim and ever since 9/11 i know there has been a lot of sterotypes on muslims. Very bad ones. i had a lot of racism especially during that year at which i was 10 years old. people would stare at me and my sisters and be like go back to your country. now i want to know what are peoples views on islam and muslims?

Depends on what part of the country you go to.

I'm from a big city in a liberal area of the country, and you wouldn't have a problem here.

But my answer may not be applicable in other parts of the nation.

This might sound weird considering the fact that most girls want big boobs...but they really arent my thing..

I am 13/f so i cant really have surgery...

but is there any way to stunt the growth of my boobs...they are allready big.

If you have the weight to lose, you can attempt that.

You could also work on your pectoral (chest) muscles with weights, and that will change your bust, but not the actual size of your breasts (but together, it will make them appear smaller in comparison).

Those are the only two ways of doing it without surgery.
