I'm a cool chico, and I try to help others to love themselves. It's a rough world out there, but grawr, I can handle it.



Since this comes up so often, let's make this very clear: You can not pick and choose where you want to lose fat. Exercising your abs will make your abs strong - but losing tummy fat is dependent on your body fat percentage and genetics.

I'll make this as quick as i can. I have liked this guy for a while, but he has a girlfriend (who is a total bitch and VERY full of herself). SO in science class he sits across from me, and he started staring at me. I know that he had liked me last year. But now im not sure because of his girfriend in all. So he was like stsaring at me with his hand pressed up against his chin like he was admiring me or somtheing. Then he smiled and reached out to grab my hand, but then the bell rang and i kind of ran out. So what do you think he thinks of me? Would it be terrible if i tried to flirt back? Will he breakup with his incredibly annoying Gf? Thanks! (link)
There's absolutely no way to know his intentions. I bet he doesn't even know his intentions.

This has nothing to do with his girlfriend, I bet. He likes you. He wants you to know he likes you. But beyond that? Boy is playing with fire by giving attention to a girl that isn't his girlfriend, and that worries me.

You can try reasoning. Whatever reason is his level. That's assuming he's rational. I suppose we can't all have a positive relationship with our siblings.

I fear physical retaliation would just escalate it. Though, you could just balltap him.


i am 13/f and pretty self conscience about my weight. I mean im really skinny but i still feel like i weight too much. I also think that my butt is too big. is there any way to make my butt smaller without surgery? (link)
Your butt is the way it is. Love the body you have. We're all predispositioned to have a certain percentage of bodyfat distributed all over our body. Your bum naturally gets a good portion of it. Can't sit without it.

I'm not sure if anybody told you, but having a big butt is a GOOD thing. You'll appreciate it someday.


how do you make icons....do you have to have a specail program? is there a web site?
thanks (link)
You can make icons in something as simple as mspaint. Just resize it to 48 x 48 pixels (for AIM). The horizontal and vertical are in the bottom right hand side on the bottom.

Ok is it a complete turn off to guys when sisters that are 13 both ware matching outfits? thanks sorry me and my sis just got the same outfit!

~not twins but love the skirt!! (link)
What's better than a cute girl in a skirt?

Two cute girls in a skirt.

What's better than two cute girls in a skirt?

Having them be sisters.

Not that I've ever approached anybody nor seen anybody who has done this, but it's a positive motif, in my mind.


my computer speakers are working when i go on AIM - i can here the doors opening & people iming me & me iming other people, however they do not work when ever i try to watch any video clips or play the SIMS. it's weird, i don't here any sound at all, but if i go back to AIM they work! any ideas on why this is & how to fix it? thanks! (link)
If your away message is up, try unclicking the button that disables sounds.

It is possible that your sound card/hardware simply can't process more than one program's sounds at a time. Can't think of anything else.


I have to go for my first "girly" check up alone because I am having problems at school and they are being slowly sorted out but my parents know nothign about it but my health is going down. What I want to know is during this check up do they really look at your vagina and boobs and what do they do to them? Also do they do anythign to your bum? I am really embarrest andits happening in a month please give me some advice. (link)
Do keep in mind that I'm male, so I have no firsthand experience.

They'll probably feel up your breasts briefly. I thought this website might have something:

http://myvag.net/pap/

But. She doesn't have a specific entry on gynos in particular. Note the bottom, a finger or two in the Vagina while feeling for your ovaries. I don't think speculums are necessary unless they're checking your cervix.

They won't need to check your bum unless you're having issues with your bum.

Ah, found something useful.

http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/gynexam/a/GYNExam.htm

Oh, even better:

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/portal/files/portal/medicalinfo/femalesexualhealth/pub-gynecological-exam.xml

That seems to cover everything. Apparently, they sometimes check the muscles that separate the rectum and the anus. Just relax, okay? I'm rather familiar with my bum and it's not that uncomfortable if you just relax.

Of course, it's a little scary if someone's looking at your private areas and proding you in ways that you've never been proded before. Just remember that millions of girls feel just like you. If you have any specific questions, look up the vaginapagina community on livejournal.


ok there is this kid that i like and i kno him but he dosnt kno me! How can i make him notice me?This is eating me up inside

please help!

Note that i am very shy.

thankyou (link)
Eye contact.

And if you get any chance, any chance at all to make a random comment, make it. Gotta create opportunities.


I have a few questions, here. Thanks in advance!

I've tried eating fruits for a meal (Like apples), but minutes later, I'm hungry again! This doesn't make sense to me. Why does this happen?

Also, I don't like many veggies. Are there any vegetables that actually TASTE GOOD? I can't stand broccoli.

Last question! If you want to lose weight, is it REQUIRED to decrease the intake of carbs? I'm a very picky eater, and most of the food I eat has carbs. (link)
Carbs is just the latest buzz diet. Carbs is part of the equation, but the bigger equation is input and output. Eat a balanced diet and you'll be fine.

I could never take to vegetables. Yet, I love brussel sprouts. Try mixing veggies in with other dishes. Randomly putting corn or peas in with rice.

Apples don't have much to them. You can try tricking your body by drinking a lot of water, thus making yourself "feel" full. I'm sure there's another way, but that's the first thing that comes to mind.


This probably doesn't fall under fitness but I have so much flab under my chin and neck...I have like a double/triple chin and neck! Does anyone know how I can get rid of this? (link)
There's no such thing as targeting areas for fat loss. Our bodies are simply made to distribute fat in a certain way. Thus, if you have your energy consumption higher than your energy input (exercise/exert more than you're eating), eventually your body will decrease it's fat level.

In other words, you don't need to do any neck exercises. General weight loss will take care of it.


omg my keyboard is soo messed up!! my y=z, mz shift and 2 is ", mz 6 and shift is &, mz seven and shift is /, mz eight and shift is (, 9 and shift is ), and 0 and shift is =. Theres even more wrong!! God i hate it! How can i fix my keyboard?? (link)
Whenever that happens, I unplug it, plug it back in, then restart.


What does "When In Rome..." supposed to mean?? (link)
If you're visiting a place (like rome), you are supposed to assimilate to the local culture (like the romans). This originated because Rome was at one time the center of Europe's civilization.


I had a pimple on my nose and started to pick at it and now it is somewhat opened and red. Any ideas on how to get rid of it quickly? (link)
Oh please, masturbation has nothing to do with pimples. What's next, are people going to start claiming we'll grow hair on our palms?

I've popped dozens of zits and I've never gotten scars. I'm sure it's not good for you, but those phrases are far overrated.

Next time after you pop a zit, dip a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and dab the spot. That'll sanitize it and prevent irritation or infection.

But right now? Quickly? Leave it alone. Maybe it was just timing, but I stopped getting zits when I stopped washing my face with all that harsh stuff. I just rinse my face with water in the morning and that's it. But maybe that's how my skin is, or has become. Soap hasn't touched in my face in years.


I don't even know if I should be worrying about this...but I've been at a new public middle school for four months now. I have eight friends that I hang out with, and the rest are people I say "hi" to. I'm a really shy person, and I know that's part of my problem. How do I get those people that I just say "hi" to as my true friends? And I'm afraid that I ever try to hang out with these friends they'll think I'm weird or something. I keep getting nervous that I'll never really gain these true friends. I don't want to be forever that new girl that nobody knows or cares about. Please help, I rate fives. (link)
Communication amounts to.. expressing something, and listening to somebody else express themselves. Of course, I'm in college and haven't really figured out how to get people to open up, let alone get myself to relax.

Ask people about things you have in common, make mental notes of things they're going to do eventually, or interests they have. Be genuine. Not everybody needs your interest, or is worth your interest.

It is the most repeated phrase for a reason: Be yourself. Be honest with yourself and other people. If you're honest, anybody that puts you down is an asshat.


hey im the person that asked the question about the computer ..If you see something, uncheck it, then check the registry for similar entries, and then finally go smite the program that's loading.


what does that mean? (link)
To run around msconfig, it's a requisite that you have a basic understanding of what each program is. How do you do this? Same way I learned. Poking and proding, trial and error.

The farthest right tab has programs that launch on system boot. These do not show up in the startup folder. Look at the location. Does that look like anything you've installed? If you have a virus scanner, you'll see it. If you have a firewall, you'll see it. If there's anything that strikes you as something you've never installed, unclick it, and it will not boot on startup.

Sometimes there's just programs we like that we don't want booting on startup. Fine. But if there is something malicious, like GATOR, GOTO the location given and simply delete the folder. I don't trust windows add/remove program, as not everything is registered there.

I won't even get into touching the registry.


ok. i dont know how to make out. and i need help. dont try to pull off that, use your hand/or go with the flow crap. becuase i need to know what the flow is first. give me the full out instruction of this. i rate HIGH.

--lover939 (link)
You can threaten me all you want, I'm still going to answer however I was going to answer in the first place.

Making out is a facilitation of physical affection. The centerpiece is hot LIP-ON-LIP ACTION. Which begs the question of how you get started, which is probably your question.

Drawing from personal experience, that initiating kiss is probably the hardest thing to do. Everything else before and after is easier. On more than one occasion I've felt breast before kissing a girl. Something about knowing she doesn't mind me touching her breast makes me feel secure that she's not going to reject me.

The majority of my first kisses with girls (which lead to subsequent make-out sessions) were while we were sitting. Typically there is either a movie before, or playing at the time. There's that look in her eye.

How? Shit, half the time I just told myself to do it, and then did. Other half, I got pounced. Woo hoo.

Okay, lip on lip action. What's there to it? I consider it kind of a medium of communication. Kind of like how I touch a girl's palm while we're holding hands or just touching each other's hands. Someone does something. The other reciprocates. Very basic communication. Other times, it's erratic, two people competing for physical dominance. I'm still talking about lips.

Of course, that brings the tongue into play. Tongue domination typically happens during heated moments. But, it gets old and tiring fast. I much prefer using tongue for darting swipes of the lips or licking really strange parts of a girl's mouth. I'm an odd person.

Eventually, lips break and may wander to other exposed areas. Cheek, forehead, neck, maybe up the arms and back. Sometimes fiery, sometimes slow and doting.

Where do hands go? I still haven't figured that out. Sometimes I cup her face. Sometimes my hands are in hers. Sometimes they're on her breasts. Sometimes they're on her ass. Sometimes they're on her tummy. Sometimes they're running through her hair. Sometimes they're just clutching her back for dear life.

It's my opinion that as soon as lips or hands start slipping UNDER clothes that it goes from making out to Heavy Making Out, which can even lead to Petting and of course Heavy Petting.

Like it, love it, go out there and kick some ass. This answer is done.


I was just always wondering..how do you know if your actually bipolar or not? Im not sure if i am cause once in a while i can be really happy and the next minute im really depressed where i want to cry about nothing!? i dont know if im actually bipolar or just in a desperate need of attention?! please help. any websites would be good. (link)
I know there's a lot of literature on it, and I mean a lot, but I don't believe in bipolar anymore.

Why?

Because then it's suddenly an excuse.

Even when I was at my worst, there was a REASON I was the way I was. I just don't believe that everybody has some sort of "chemical imbalance".

Unfortunately, not everybody can find the perspective to acknowledge what COULD be bothering them when their emotions go astray. It's so easy for me to say, "Listen to what your body is telling you and figure out what's causing your emotions", but to actually have the poise to do it is another.


this is my second computer that i have and my dad will not buy me another. okay so heres the deal. my computer probably has spyware and i dont know how to get rid of it. i have ad-aware SE and i use it ALL the time but yet it still doesnt get the junk away. im getting scared cause i dont want to lose computer. does anyone no what i can do to have my computer work better and that i dont have a messed up internet?

ill rate high if you truly help me (link)
Nobody told you to open msconfig.

GOTO the run prompt, type msconfig. Farthest right tab is a list of all the things that spawn when the computer boots. Look for anything odd. If you see something, uncheck it, then check the registry for similar entries, and then finally go smite the program that's loading.


hey um yea i dont really know how to put this but i have ike really big labia and the hang out and my friend has what we call a "butt crotch" but is something wrong with me or is that normal?? (link)
There is no anatomically correct "size" for your labia. Some have prominent inner labia, like you have. Others seem to have "no" lips at all.

You are normal.
