about

My name is Devin Lindsey or Vinny as my sister calls me! I am 17 years old and go to Bethel Park High school. I loooove swimming along with dancing, singing, and playing softball. I also run varsity track with is alright i supose too.


My favorite colors are orange, pink, and blue. I love to be crazy and have a good time

I've had a job working for 15+ monthes so I can answer alot about that

and I know alot about relationships in general so I can be helpful with that sometimes

especially with parent child relationships


I am a very observant person and tend to know more and care about more than most my age


and I really believe in volunteering to help animals especially at shelters. Usually its not their fault that they have to live their and its usually horrible cercimstances that bring them there and I feel terrible that they can't speak for themselves and people are too caught up in spending like $500 on this cute little pure breed puppy from a breeder just into getting rich instead of giving one of these dogs another chance at life (there are usually a handful of dogs under a year old so the i want a puppy excuse doesn't work with me)

My baby is named Lainey Mae... we got her from a shelter about 2 hours away from us when she was 7 weeks old. she is now 2 years old and the center of our family. unfortunately someone was cruel enough to go down and drug up and shoot (but luckly not kill) most of the dogs plus rob the owner (just like someone did at the shelter where I volunteer) and its now shut down

advice

i was just wondering what people think of glasses. do you find them nerdy or attractive? i have to wear glasses fullo time and i am wondering if contacts are the way to go or should i wear glasses but i dont want to seem like a four eyes freak. any inputs are appreciated.

i think it all depends on the person. although most people look better with contacts some people do look better in glasses.. and dont worry people wont make fun of you for it

she can get herpes even if hes never had an outbreak.. as long as he has it she can get it at any time

what kind of whipped cream should i use to make vanilla ice cream. it says to use two cups, but i'm not sure if using a heavy kind would be better than a light. thanks

use heavy and nothing low fat/fat free. fat free stuff is harder to use when you cook and doesnt always turn out as good

Okay, y'all...I am a fellow advicenator. I am just wondering why advicenators who have NEVER had sex or don't know what the hell the are talking about are answering sex questions. These people actually might just TAKE your advice...at least learn about what you're answering before you hit submit. Oh yeah, and for all of you who think wearing TWO condoms is cool...you are so wrong.

well just because you have never had sex doesnt mean you know what you are talking about.. like ive never had sex and yet i know 2 condoms or dumb because it means they will break easier. i know for a fact that i know alot more about sex then most of those 13 year olds out there screwing each other. on alot of the questions on here about sex wheither you had it or not doesnt really matter. like the ones saying i had sex 10 times this week without condoms could i be preggo? you dont need to have sex to asnwer that.

Ohk im 17. f.

i Have a sister that 13.

Im skinny and she bigger then me by like 2 sizes.

every single day she goes in my room when im asleep and takes my clothes and ask me if she can wear them. im still asleep when she asks me so i have no idea what im saying. She takes it as a yes and wears my clothes. She takes jeans, shirts, and even my damn uniform pants for work. today she went to the movies with her friend. her friend didnt have clean jeans so she gave her a pair of mine to wear. her friend is bigger then her.

When i see her with my clothes on i tell her to change right now and she does she throws my clothes in my room and doesnt even wash them after. She gets stains on my shirts and they dont come off. Well the jeans i dont have many pairs and when she wears them the strech out and i cant get them back to regular size.

I bought like 2 pairs of new jeans and she asks me everyday if she can wear them and i say No every time and she continues to ask me.

Is there any way to get her to stop asking me to wear my clothes all the damn time. She has more clothes then i do. she just doesnt wear them.

ill rate good if you give me good help.

just sit her down and tell her she cant wear you things no matter what you say unless you personally hand them to her.. and if she does borrow them she is responsible for any stains or stuff like that and her friends cant wear your stuff. like make her sign a contract in front of your mom or someting. thats what i do with my sister who is 12 even though we are the same size.


if its something yuo really like maybe make her pay for it upfront like say you payed $50 for a pair of jeans make her give you $60 then if she returns them clean and nice then give her all her money back and if she doesnt you keep the money (extra for aggravation)


or if you must lock your closet so only you can get in there and no one else

i was thinking about getting limewire. can anyone give me their opinions on it??

thanks!!

i think its great as long as you are downloading music. if you use it for games it can give you viruses but from all the music ive downloaded in the past couple of years and i didnt get any viruses. the only bad thing is its slow even on really fast comps.. well the downloading part isnt slow its slow when you accually load the program

I really want to loose weight.
But i cant be motivated.
I dont know how. i mean i have pictures of hott guys on my walls, but no room for really pretty girls with nice bodys. And adding them onto my wall would make me feel bad.
I have all the stuff needed to workout, or atleast most of the stuff. I have a treadmil,one of those hudge balls, and a workout mat. I have a 10 minute denise austin workout DVD. And i have this DVD of the girl Michael Gillian who one "the biggest loser"(tv show), which is maybe an hour. And we have no Junk food in my house whatsoever..
But I have a problem with working out..
My mom cooks dinner at 5:00 and your suppose to wait about 3 hours before you work out after eating (right?). That mean Id have to work out at 8:00ish, but i sleep need to go to sleep at 9:00 to get a good amount of sleep, and your not suppose to workout and then go to sleep are you?
So yea, i need help./

you dont have to wait 3 hours to eat and you can go to sleep right after working out. i ussually hit the gym right after i eat dinner and im fine. try just putting a dvd in and walk/job on the treadmill while you watching the dvd.. it will really make the time fly.

I just had a volleyball tournament recently. Well, I got a few injures. I can't extend my left leg without my knee hurting ((Could y'all tell me what's up with that? I skinned it pretty bad)) and I think I cracked my tailbone. And my muscles are real stiff. Can y'all tell me what I can do to relive this pain?

lots of ice and heat. try to take long baths and go into hot tubs. also try massaging the area and streching it as far as you can without extreme pain. the faster you get it moving the faster you can recover

ok can you get pregnant by being AROUND sperm. not actually having sex?? like if it was on a surface er in the shower. like if you use the bathroom & theres sperm er anything??

thanks

no unless someone was like mastermating in the shower at the same time you were in there and somehow it got in your vagina

[view]

this may seem like a dumb question but i heard someone talking about it.

lets say you use a public bathroom & you're a girl. if there's sperm anywhere near the toilet, on the seat, in the toilet itself, is it possible to get pregnant?? if you were juss using the bathroom??

thanks!!

no onces the sperm hits the air it dies within a few seconds so by the time the person before you leaves the stall the sperm is dead and if it were alive it would not have enough time to go from the toilet to your uterus.. it would have to be like unplanted up more

Hi. If a person has sex and then gets her period a day or less afterwards, does it mean she can't be pregnant? A friend of mine is really freaked out right now, and I'm trying to calm her down by telling her that she can't be pregnant. Thanks.

most likely but not always.. some people get their period while they are preggo the whole time. although it is rare you can have extremely light periods or just bleeding from pregnancy.. there is a like 98% chance she isnt pregnant but it is always possible.

I'm 13 years old, and a really tiny person, and I think it's good for me to start exercising---now don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm fat or anything, but I just think it's a good idea to move my muscles. But I hate sports of all kinds. Is there anything I can do at home BESIDES push-ups and sit-ups/crunches?

uhh yes and know.. those are your best options.. but really not many. do you like yoga? i know yoga is really good at working your stomach muscles and yet its relaxing. personally i dont think you need to work out.. (im guess you are a girl) most woman dont need to really work out until after they have children or once they get into their late 20s early 30s. also your body is prob not ready yet for adult workouts so make sure you talk to your doctor or a trainer to see what works best for you and your body.

i have adaware i and run scans about everyday and at the status.. it says open quarintine list and i have a little over 1000 ..so if i delete them all.. would they mess up my computer.. do you think itll be a good idea? suggestions please

well on my comp the dont.. just because if your comp starts getting weird you can tell what it is.. like the ones that are quarentined are the ones you need to watch out for.. i would have your comp delete them from the system not just delete them off the list.. and if you can try to talk to a friend that works will comps or something and he can tell you which ones to delete and which ones to keep. if you want to be totally safe dont touch it because you could release the virus into your comp

hey i'm 13/f and wondering if anybody has a good plan for the mostly abs (i'd like to get a four or six pack maybe!) and i'd also like some muscle in my legs and arms... any ideas?

tons of crunches and pushups.. believe it or not push ups really have nothing to do with yours arms its like all abs (your arms have to be directly below your shoulder dont put them out in front of you) all try do squats, jogging, if you have the oppertunity go swimming.. it really helps you all around (swim laps at least 15 per time) also if you can join a gym.. although it is unsafe for most younger teens it can really help you out if you know what your doing but the equipment there is strictly for your look and not for stregth( my trainer told me that because you dont use most of the muscles that the machines work on)

also you are still im puberty and until you are done with it it is very hard to build muscle so dont be surprised if you dont see and only feel the results for the next few years

i have read coloumns in magazines saying if you excersise too much it is damaging your body. is this true? i excersise at a gym for about 4 1/2 hours each week. i also do 30 mins of cardio at home. am i doing too much?

yes it can be harmful but yours isnt harmful at all! they mean really if your burning more calories than you are eating its unsafe. like i went to the gym 1 hour everyday plus had 30 min of gym class everyday and i didnt even burn half of the calories i ate in 1 day. like 15 min of cardio workout you only burn around 100-200 calories max and the average person eats like 2000 calories a day so you are doing just fine. the only time when you have to worry is if you are doing more than 3 hours a day.. thats when it starts getting unsafe especially if you are a woman under the age of 20 with no kids

Hi... I'm a 18 year old female.. and I have a question for hopefully someone who can give me a helpful answer. I got a year supply of birth control from this place called family planning.. and alot of it expired.. but.. I didnt realize it until recently.. And I know that i took a months worth of expired pills... but ive had my period since that.. But i was told that if you have unprotected sex right after your period.. the chances are really high... So pretty much my question was.. When you take expired birth control does it make your body think that your not going to take it anymore... and then you release eggs again so that the chances of getting pregnant are higher??

Help.. Please...

well it prob still works as long as its not too too expired and you chances of getting preggo like directly after your period is really low because it takes about 5 days for the egg to come. i believe your most fertile day is around day 19 depended on the length of your cycle

Hi! Ok, I really need ideas of what my class can do for fundraisers! I'm in 8th grade and we're trying to raise money for 8th grade graduation & our trip to our state capitol. We need to make more than the meager cents we get from bakesales, car washes, and ballgame concession. Does anyone know of any ways we can make money? Time is running out! Thanks!

maybe you can hold a dinner and a play night. like have a play going on while parents and relatives and what not are served food. my friends church does it and i think they charge $10 a person and have it go on for 3 or 4 nights

also try a chinese auction.. and have local busineses donate baskets

my dog is a 1 year old bichon frise. he has been scratching himself non stop to a point where he rips his face up & he bleeds. it's not flees (we asked the vet & he takes medicine). the vet suggested hypoallergenic food, which we ordered. my dog has been wearing a cone for the past 2 or 3 weeks (so he won't scratch) but as soon as you take it off, he does. what else can we do to make him stop scratching the way he does or what could be wrong with him? i don't want him to wear a cone or scratch for ever!

edit:: you said your groomer used good shampoo but you cant always trust that. especially if you go to like petco to get it done. they go more for glamor over like how good it works


did you try giving him a bath? my dog was scraching alot lately so i gave her a bath and it solved all our problems.. we think her skin was just really dry from the weather and she started to peal. also i think they make dog moisturizer maybe you can try that
