Not much to share about me here. I'm just here to help people out if I can. :)

For our one week of Winter Break, me, and my parents are going to California to visit my relatives. I want my best friend to come along.
She needs a place to stay for Winter Break cause her parents have to go to court [long story]Both our parents work for airlines so we'll fly for free. We'd stay at my g-ma's house [ so no hotel fee] Me and my bff have tried to go on several vacations together and my dad usually says yes but my mom ALWAYS says no. She gets mad when I ask and starts screaming. She said having my bff come along will just put stress on her.


How can I convince my mom that my friend should come to California with us? [ I need a resonable answer, that would be put in a sweet way. My mom can get very agrumentative and mean]

First thing, before trying to convince your mom of having your friend over, why not try asking her what about having your friend come along puts more stress on her. This is a hard thing to talk to parents with especially the younger you are because your parents don't look at you as someone that you would not know what you are talking about. If she starts acting out on you when you bring it up, you need to learn to walk away from her at that time. Then when things feel they have settled between the two of you, you could try approaching her once again but this time asking her what about the situation gets her so upset? In truth I can't beging to konw what your mother is thinking but it is clear that unless you have that information you aren't going to even be able to argue your side and really be able to convince her. Now as for your dad, it's obvious that if you get her on board, he's open to the idea. I know that you might feel it hard to do, but you have to keep yourself cool if you attempt to bring these things up to your mom, that will show a little bit more maturity on your part. That might help your cause.

hi i have been with my gf for almost 1yaer sex was great all of the sudden for bast 2 monthe i can't prefor as i use to. i use to long for 50 min but now only 5min or maybe less and im only 22 years old.

I'm not so sure that I would be able to answer this for you clearly. If you haven't tried this already, it does help your performance if you happen to masterbate before being with her. I am not so sure about how adventurous the two of you maybe, but it would be worth a try to change what you might normally do. One thing, if you don't usually use foreplay, why not give it a shot. You could have your girlfriend tease you and let you become unaroused, a few times over, and you should see a bit of a difference. I think it might be just that you are getting used to what the two of you normally do. I can't be sure it will work but it is what I have to share on the subject. Hope some of this helps you.

My teacher is giving me and my class WAY too much homework and I think it is really un nessary. She is giving us 7-11 pages of homework per night! All of the pages have really hard questions on them and with all of the things that need to be done I would say that this is too much homework. She is really strict also. One time she sent some boy in my class down to the office just because he wanted to go to the bathroom while she was reading! How should I tell her that she is giving way too much homework?

This isn't an easy thing to do. One thing you would have to take into consideration is, what class is it? What I mean by that, is it one that is suppose to try to prepare you for high school or college? Another thing would be, how much material is to be covered in the time you have left for school. It might be hard but for some reason she believes you should be doing that much work. As for how strick she is with that last thing? That no one can really help you with, if it actually is like that maybe you could get a group of students together and share those thoughts with your parents and have them bring it up to the teacher. This is all I have for you, sorry if it doesn't help too much.

There's this guy I get to see once a week, and I don't talk to him or anything. (we talked once on the phone) During the week, when my mind wanders wherever I think about him. Actually, I think about him A LOT. Like in that one period of time that I get to see him, we both look at each other, kinda like flirting...well, you get what I mean. I have a total obsession with him, but I have to wait till I'm older to go out with him. I love seeing him, but when I don't see him, it drives me absolutely crazy. What can I do about this obsession???

Obsession is not a good thing in most situations. I would say just try to hang out with friends to get distracted. If you can't go out with him but like being around him maybe if you are at least friends you could get him to come out with you with a group of people. I know the feeling because I've been there before and that's the only thing that helps get over things.

I was wondering if their was a site that would shoe you how to use HTML coding in blogs? My blog http://jessetk.blogspot.com/ can have HTML coding edited into the template. So far all I have is a section I put in for blogs I like and a hit counter at the bottom.

This website gives you some of the basics for you to learn a bit more if you are just starting out: http://www.w3schools.com/

How do make links for xanga. Like on your weblog entry, say that you want to put "Jay's Site" in your weblog and you want it to link right to the site. How would you do that?

When you are writting a new entry. You have to go click on edit html. Its a button on the top left of where your entry is. There you will have to actually make your own link. name you want to give the link. In your example: Jay's site. You may need to switch the way the slant line goes but that's what you have to do.

Ok well I've liked this boy for some time now. Like 6 years. I just dont know what to do I think he likes me but not sure. We were best friend but we both went to new schools this year and well we kind of arnt that close anymore. I still get that butterfly feeling in my stomach everytime he calls me or I see him but I just dont know what to do. I'm way to chicken to tell him I like him or to ask him our so dont even think about telling me to do that. Also I dont have anyfriend that are close to him to tell him. I just dont know what to do so please help me!!! I rate 5 for good answers!!!

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but I'm going to guess that you 1) want to know if he feels the same way; and 2) let him know how you feel. As for both of those, people in general say a lot more of what they mean with what they do than with what they end up saying. With that in mind you can fairly easily tell how he feel about you, as well as give him hints, with actions when you two are together. Such an example: if you know him not to be one of those people that touches everyone, not sure if you understand, but he does it with you. That's a pretty sure sign his into you. Now what you have to be careful aobut, is if it's a sibling type of care for you or more than that. So it also is the way he touches you or in the reverse to give him the hint in the way you touch him.

Hi guys,
My dad was wanting me to ask my friends something, so I figured I would ask everyone on here. If he gets rid of the AOL account we have, he's wanting to know if I will still have my Aim, and actually be able to go on it. He doesn't wanna have to pay for both AOL and sbc yahoo dsl. If someone actually knows about this, please let me know. ASAP. Thank you so much!

The screenname you will use for AIM will be the same you use on AOL. If you haven't used AIM before the password for it will be the same as your AOL account. Yes, you can keep the same screen name, no worries on that one.

How should I ask my ex out becuase according to friends he still likes me and I want to take him to prom ... I'm very shy though so it can't be something very blunt

This all depends on how it ended in the first place. If things ended well and you two still talk and are friends then I don't think it will be too difficult. But if you were the one to let him go, then it's probably not a wise idea to ask him out again. Do you guys still do things together at times or in groups? You could maybe talk to a mutual friend to see if you could find out what his plans are for that dance and possibly help you "nudge" him into asking you out. Mutual friends are a very good person to talk to about these things. If he still likes you and he had ended it, is what was bothering him about the relationship resolved? If not, it's pretty safe to say you should try figuring that out before trying to go out with him again.

okay so my best friend and i have known each other for 3 years and weve been best friends for atleast a year and a half now we have a new friend and weve known her since september but i have a problem. whenever we hang out someone is always left out and its always me. i love my friends and i dont want to blame anyone especially our new friend b/c she hasnt done anything wrong but im like being forgotten and pushed out i never hang out w/ them anymore and they always hang out now its like our new friend has taken my place and then they made this big deal about it today and it really made me mad bc they were like were not leaving you out but they are im not in there profiles anymore on aim and theyre in each others i feel like they dont care if im theyre friend or not they never ask me to hang out anymore and if they do im always the last one asked. im not like a wet blanket by any means but im not insane either i have a good head on my shoulders and our new friend had the nerve to tell me today that she has more in common w/ her than i do and thats why theyre such good friends i dont want to be forgotten plz someone HELP! (thanx sorry this was so long!)

In short, there is nothing you can do about this situation. You may have known someone a long time but that doens't mean that someone else down the road might have more in common with them than you. It may be difficult for you to realize what is going on but at the same time you have to accept. Each of us have a purpose when we have friends, and in time it changes. Maybe your best friend's needs have change and this new friend is what she need at the moment. Just try not to think of it much, I am pretty sure it's goign to be a bit difficult. It is hard for any friend, of that length, to just have walk out of your life.

I like this guy a real lot where when i think of him it seems like I escape from reality. Well a few weeks ago 2 of my friends told him that I like him and he told them that I'm just a really cool friend. well ever since then he has been hanging around me more, talking to me more, making jokes, and helping me when I've had problems. My friend says that he's been spending a lot more time with me than he used to and it does seem that way. all i want to know is what he really thinks. can anyone help me?

Could it be that he just is trying to be a better friend to you? Or maybe he's seeing how far he can go without "hurting" anyone. I say that because even though some people don't try they end up hurting someone in such situations. I mean when one person likes the other but it's not mutual. If he knows that you like him already, why not ask him what he thinks? He might actually tell you.

okay so i have an ibook g3 but i want to sell it to get the g4 how do clean out the system so its like new to Sell it..Thanks.

I'm not quite sure how it would work for you but the best way to not allow people to have your information is to delete the partitions on the hard drive and then reinstall the operating system and applications. I usually work with windows so not sure how it would work.

Everytime I try to play videos that are in the internet. It keeps on playing like a slide show and the picture looks kind of blurry and the sound is sometimes wiry. Is this normal on a slow internet connection. I don't even know if my internet is highspeed because it says it is but I think it's still slow.

If you can try to select the rate of transfer. When you go to click on a video, at times, it will give you a choice of kb/s or dial-up and cable/dsl connection. If you do have cable or dsl, and it's giving you those problems try it at the dial-up because it will send things at a slower rate. The other reason for that to be as it is, would be that their are a lot of people looking at that one video so it'll be a bit slow. If it's blurry, that would be because of the "window size." If you see it blurry in full screen mode, try using it at the regular screen mode.

okay. like. i guess you could say im skinny. or normal. but in my opioionn im fat. i always pinch my stomech or w.e and its gross. i have thoughts about being annerexic or belimic. and i dont want to be annerexic cause like i love to eat. and if i could like perge or w.e i sware id be belmic in a heartbeat. and its like i cant stay on a diet im tempted too easily and i exsersize but i mean im sick of the fat on my stomech and i dont do any sports. what can i do. i know my thoughts arnt "healthy" and i want to change it. but the fat on my stomech has GOT TO GO.

Suggestions would be to look for excersizes that would concentrate on the area you are not happy with at this time. I did try a quick search on google.com and came up with the following website: http://www.prevention.com/topic/0,5768,s1-2-67-1-0-0,00.html Why not look on there and see if you might be able to follow any of their suggestions.

Hey was up my name is Lissa and i am 14 years old. And i need some help, well my parents are getting a divorce and ever sense they were going to get one i have been like the second mom and dad for my brotha and sista. I always have to babysitt and whenever i want to go out with my friends i have to make sure my brotha and sista have a place to go! I mean come on my parents arn't even thinking about me all they do is think about themselves. And when i do go out with my friends its like they don't trust me they always call me and it's like i babysitt all the time and you trust me 4 that but you can't trust me with my friends!!! Im so tired of this what do i do to help this situation get any better??
Love Lissa Honey

Dear Lissa Honey,

First of all, being the eldest, kind of puts you in the place of hleping your parents out by taking care of your younger siblings. It sucks but that is how it goes. As for them not trusting you when you go out with friends, that I can't be certain as to why they are doing that (as in calling you while out all the time) but you do need to make them aware that you need some time away as well. What kind of ground rules are in place for you when you go out? Maybe if none, it'd be a good idea to work some kind of ground rules with them so they can let go a bit without having to worry unless you don't stick with the rules.

I'm pretty sure i'm a christian. But i sometimes doubt God and if he's there or not. Does this mean that, if i like... died tomorrow, i would go to hell. Am i not allowed to doubt God? It seems like the only people who are considered religious are the ones like "i'm sure he's real b/c i've read his word and i believed it" but... i'm a very doubtfull person and i can't just believe things like that. Does this mean i'm not going to Heaven?

Religion is a touchy topic to some. I don't believe that you would be denied going to heaven because you have doubts. At times it is good to question things. The thing that you have to conclude for yourself is this: do you just not believe in God or is it that you don't believe in any entity that would be omnipotent (all knowning)? You being doubtfull I'm sure comes from a certain place, for that no one can tell you that you are wrong. I believe that if you are true to your religion, whichever it may be, that you will be allowed into heaven.

okay i have this game sierrra acrchitect for my comp.

i had it installed and it worked just fine until lately so i tried unistalling it and now im trying to reinstall it and it wont work! like i press install and either nothing happens or a box blinks up real fast like its starting to install but then goes away right away! what can i do or what can be the problem? i dont have anything else running at the same time besides my anti virus!


ps it works just fine on my other comp that has the same anti virus running but this comp is nicer and i want to use it on here and i meet all the requirements for it!.

The question is how was it uninstalled? Did you use the CD to select uninstall? Did you go through the control panel to do so? The best way would be to put the CD in and then select the remove option, most games have that now. Then before you try to reinstall the game, restart the computer, and install just as before. Sometimg the operating system makes a difference too. Do both computers have the same operating system?

Basically, I would say that around school I am pretty popular with all of my girlfriends and i hav eno trouble being myself and having fun. HOWEVER, once i get around boys I quiten up so much more and i get all nervous like a little girl! I don't know what's wrong with me because I used to be fine but some of my girl friends can be a little too loud and overpowering...HELP! x x x

In your question you said this is sometlhing that you've realized more so recently. Might it be because of how your view of boys has changed? If it is something like that, it's a confidence issue, if I had to guess. The only thing that will help or improve your shyness is by putting yourself more and more in situations with guys. Slowly you'll start to see the change where you become comfortable and can just be yourself. Let me know if it works for you.

hey... heres my problem. theres this guy that im crazy about. he likes me too. so he says. and he acts like he does online. but not on the phone and somewhat does in person. i cant tell. and im pretty unconfident in myself cuz my bf broke up with me a while ago. and i was in love i thought. and for some reason i feel like i need so much reassureance. you know. it sux cuz i like him adn he likes me. he says he wants to ask me out. but in person. and when i went to school with him(he lives 30 min from where i go to school) as a guest he just introduced me as a friend. and never asked me out. we were together alone for a long time and he never did. i almost cried when i got home. i was so excited adn then it was broken.what would you do. and how do i know for sure that he likes me without questioning him like no other
signed confused lover

You can't be sure of anything. One of the things that I like to share with people is more of a quote: Actions speak louder than words. If he can't be as he is with you online all the time, i'd say don't trust that he does feel that way for you. If you need reassurance like that and he doesn't realize it, then you have to tell him. If he already knows and doesn't do anything about it; as hard as it may sound, you're going to want to move on before you get hurt more.
