Very helpful tool :D

only search advicenators.com

advice

have you realized how short and [not] sweet your answers are to questions? just saying.

put a little more thought into them.

sorry, i just want it so that the person recieving the advice is like, oh ok.
sometimes i just try to say it as fast as possible and in the most easiest way. think about it, if you have a problem most likely you wont want to hear me ramble on and on. they just want a simple answer. and most people have thanked me. and sometimes i know the answer from past experiances and its easy to answer.
but i see what you are saying, ill try to do better! promise. and thanks, i dont know what people think when they get my advice cause no one really comments on them and now i know. and i will try to put a little thought into them.

hi, i'm a 15 year old 5'4 135lbs female.
i'm not too much over weight, but i have big hips and cottage cheese thighs and a stomach. i also have big lovehandles and even more fat folds but i'm not that fat i dont know whats wrong, i know my body type runs in the family on my mothers side for all women, but i cant figure out how to make it go away. i really want to start going to a gym, but i'm too young to have a membership of my own at my mothers gym, (or even a guest pass). this really makes me mad, and i want to go to somewhere like 24 hour fitness, or total fitness. my best friend is much bigger than i am, but shes also taller and weighs more, but she has a membership to 24hour fitness with her mom. i had a thought that if i can get a guess pass or member ship at her gym and go with her all the time maybe i could work all my fat and chubbyness off. i'm really not fat i just always feel gross and like i need to workout. i know that i get mad and angry alot and i do eat alot, but i always want to hurtsomeone or something, or break someone or something, i usually controll my agression and anger by working out or listening to music.

can anyone give me advice on what to do? should i ask my friends gym if i can join and go with her, or what should i do? how can i get rid of all my chubbyness? i really want feedback asap, because i dont like my body eventhough everyone always complements me on how nice i look...(usually they are looking at my butt or my breasts)


thanks a bunch!

the main thing you can do is to excersize/work out for 30-60 min three times a week (alternating days)
some recommened excersizes
-crunthes
-situps
-leglifts
-wall sits
there are more but remmeber to target your abs and thighs

i have a problem with really really dry skin. it usually happens every winter, but this year, it's just gotten out of control. i've tried changing my diet, i've been using face cream and moisturizer everyday. i've tried so many things, but it's just not working. does anyone have any ideas? i'll do just about anything. i'm so sick of my dry skin. it's embarassing going to school and having dry skin all around my mouth. please help!

wash your face often and put lotion on right after
that works for me

So i read a website on how to decide where to part you hair. and it said you can tell by [1] if your nose is angled/leans to the right, part it on the left and vice versa [2] part your hair on the opposite side of your "pretty eye." okay so.. my pretty eye is on the right, but my nose leans to the left. according to #1 i should part it on the left, but according to #2 i should part it on the right. so do i go by eye or nose? its like. when i part it on the right, my pretty eye is showing, but my nose is like ew! so if you look at me from center or left, im pretty. BUT if i part it on the left, my eye is ugh. idk! help? hahaha.

im sorry but your question made me laugh
what an interessting delema
my advice? either dont part your hair or just part it both ways
also try asking other people with your hair parted, see if they can notice, if they cant then dont worry about it

Hello a few months ago i had to paint some things around the house, and i was wearing my pants, that was pretty good pants, but i thought i was never going to wear them again, but now, i want to wear them, and i've got alot of paint marks all on them, and the paint is white.


does anyone know if i can get this off or not? and if i can, how?
thanks alot!

well it seems and im sorry to say this but i dought it will come off
and also if it doesnt look that bad you can still wear it, it will just show you your artistic side

sorry i had to capitalize for their grossness.

HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM?? our house gets them all year.. mostly in the winter but i dont want them anymore! this morning there were three that ran under my feet while i was on the computer and i was so grossed i had to go to another! its cause my computer is in the basement where rats/mice and other bugs come. woopee. are there any special sprays or traps for centipedes/millipedes? if you hae an answer i'll be so freaking grateful cause i couldnt hit those centipedes/millipedes that went under my feet but those looked kinda big.. wtf do they eat anyways to survive.

that sounds gross, i hate bugs
two things i recomend
1) go to this link
http://www.pestproducts.com/centipedes.htm
2)but sticky tape by the walls
oh and also go to like a home improvement store or hardware store and ask them, im sure that they can give you something

you give pretty good advice and i want you to answer this fo me. so like i know that eating healthy is the way to go but how exactly do i do this? like what kinds of food? and no sweets ever?

that just simply means that you have to eat following the food guide pyramid (do u know what i mean)
eat accordingly for example eat wheat bread rather than white
when hungry have an apple or carrot sticks
when eating lunch at school get a salad rather than pizza
and you can have sweets just once in a while
doing these simple things also improves your health!

Hi I am 16 years old female and I am going to start working at a coffee shop in January and I was wondering if anyone could give me a liitle bit of information I might like to know. Like personally I do not know the difference between like all the specialty drinks and I just don't want to look totally dumb when I go in for training so any advice would help thank you!

dont be embarrassed about that
its expected that you dont know much because you are a beginner
all i would say is listen to the boos or who ever is higher than you
and be friendly and nice
get along with the peopl that work there because it will make your work even more pleasent
good luck!

when i study i have trouble concentrating and always get bored or side tracked. what can i do?

thats happens to everyone
what i try doing is taking lots of breaks so i dont get bored
if you keep on studying then it gets dull
also study for major tests over time, it really does help
rest often and try not staying up as late

Ok well I made a lot of friends this year but i don't know if we're really friends because what happens is, a person and i will talk for a few minutes and then we'll have nothing to talk about and then we'll say ...bye.. and go our seperate ways.

And that goes with liek most of them.

Can you list a few things that i might tlak about to keep it going?

get them surprise gifts or like candy
maybe invite them to your house or some place else so that you have memories to talk about
also talk about something you have a view on so that you can keep talking about it
look around you and talk about the setting like "what is that guy doing?" that can start a conversation real quick and branch off of that
good luck :)

I found this one place but the movie keeps freezing. Would be more helpful if you could give me a link if you found a place. Thanks.

have you tried youtube?
maybe someone put it on there

Hi, I accidentally spilled like an entire bottle of rubber cement on my beige carpet. I didn't realize it at the time, and it's dried now. There's no stain, but the carpet is... crispy? I'm not sure what to do- should I blot with water? I just don't want to mess up the carpet in an effort to make it better- my mother would have a conniption fit. Thank you all!

rub it with ice
