I've been losing alot of weight lately & I hate how it's leaving stretch marks. Any pointers?

You can try using Vitamin E cream or cocoa butter to help reduce the visibility of the stretch marks.

my friends and i listen to rock music, but they always no the new songs that are out, but i never do(bad radio stations). is there a website or something that has all the new music on it???

The only website that I know of is a station from where I live that plays rock music, which is 95.5 WBRU (http://wbru.com/index.php). You can see what songs are playing at the exact moment and a playlist of songs and such. You can always try searching for 'new rock music' on Google and you'll find some new songs.

Does anyone know what song they we're playing in the last episode of the O.C. season finally when Marrissa shot Ryan's brother because its a really good song and it's bugging me that i cant remember

"An Honest Mistake" by The Bravery

I'm pretty positive this was the song. Did it have the lines "Don't look at me that way. It was an honest mistake."? If so, than this was the song playing during that scene.

Is 13 old enough to wear makeup? I mean like light makeup, not really heavy makeup cuz I'm 13 and I want to, but I'm not sure if it would look weird on a 13-year-old?

Yes, you're old enough to wear make up and it wouldn't look weird, unless you put on too much and such.

Running and doing lunges and squats will help tone your thighs.

In the center of a jawbreaker, it's just a small version of the actually jawbreaker, basically. If you crack one, you'll see.

hey i was just wondering how i can get a background that i saved onto my column as a background.. it says but im just confused haha thankss ♥

You need to upload your background image to an image hosting site such as http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.tinypic.com. Once you upload it, you'll get a new URL for it. Go to your Column Settings and paste the URL into the 'Page Background Image (URL)' section and in the 'Sidebar Background Image (URL)' section and then submit your changes. Your background will then show up on your column.

can someone give me a site for layouts on the groups pages on myspace?

You can use a Myspace layout generator such as http://www.pimpwebpage.com, http://www.mygen.co.uk/index.php?page=create, and http://www.strikefile.com/myspace to get a layout. Createblog also has a few premade layouts that you can use.

On Xanga, how do I swtich my Modules [the boxes with my 'Interests', 'Expertise', 'Subscriptions' and so on] to the right side of my daily entries?? Is it on the MAIN page of the 'Look & Feel'?? I have a layout; do I find it in there instead? And if so, how do I change it? Any USEFUL help is great.

I guess I'll bride like the rest of the herd...
"I RATE HIGH" hah.

Thank you!

There's a code that you can use that will switch the modules to the other side. I do know the code but if you just do a Blogring search for 'HTML codes' and click on an HTML code site from a group, I'm sure you'll find the code. If not, then try going to http://blogring.net or http://www.createblog.com and search for it there.

Hey Id like to try a new look this summer but I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone know webistes with cute hairstyles, and websites with different ways on how to do your makeup? If you have any pointers please leave em. My hair is thick and a little wavy. I have lightly tanned skin. Thanks so much, I rate.

Cover Girl's website, http://www.covergirl.com, has some make up tips and such. There's also a generator that picks out what colors would go best with you and so on. Just click on 'Tips & Tricks' at the top of the site. As for hairstyles, you don't need an actual website that has lists of hairstyles; just look in a magazine such as Cosmo Girl or YM and there are pages of the 'latest hairstyles'.

Is wearing a blue jean jacket with jeans too much denim like if i have like a colorful shirt under it? like if the jacket and jeans are close to the same color?

No, wearing a blue jean jacket with jeans is not too much denim. I know a lot of people who do that and it's not too much denim.

When I was younger I used to be really skinny because I stayed with my cousins a lot and we were always swimming, running around, or riding bikes. Since then I've gained a lot of weight cause I haven't exercised much. My stomach is flabby and my thighs are kind of big. I want to tone down before school starts up again in August.. so does anyone know any exercises I could do? I'm not saying I'm fat or anything but I've gained about 20 pounds in the past year and I just wanted to tone down some. Thanks. :)

I also have another question about this. I love to dance & I have about four movies that have dancing in them. Does dancing help tone you down any?

Yup, dancing will definitely help tone your body. Any sport or activity that involves you to move around will help. As for exercises, you can run/jog, run in place, run in water, ride a bike and do squats, lunges, leg lifts, side leg lifts, and so on to tone your thighs and legs. For your stomach, you can also run/jog and do crunches and sit ups to tone that area. Eating healthy also helps.

ohk my Q' is what do you have to do to be able to do the crossed out letters on aim ? cause i wanna put it in my profile ! thnx

If you want your text to be striked out in your profile, just right click in the space that you type in, hover to 'Text' then to 'Font' and then a window will pop up. There is a section for 'Effects' and just check the 'Strikeout' one and hit 'OK' when you're done.

ok. I asked out my sister's boyfriend's brother and he said yes. But when i told my sister we were going out, she hated me. She's going to keep beating me up until we brake up. So what should I do? i really love this kid and he's soooooo cool. What do I do?? help!! ASAP!!

How does your sister have any say and part in this situation? Just because your boyfriend is your sister's boyfriend's brother, it doesn't mean that you can't go out with him. You don't have to do anything; just stay with your boyfriend and tell your sister to stay out of your love life. If you love him, then that is all that matters, really.

Sorry, this isn't an "advice" question exaclty, but more of a question about Advicenators. I would just appreciate knowing if anyone else has this same problem or not:

My Inbox keeps spazzin' out. One minute I will have 1 new message. Then the next minute I will have 3, and then back to one. So naturally I check my Inbox, and it is empty, yet it always says different.

Anyone know why this is? Does anyone have the same troubles?

This used to happen to me when I received private questions until I blocked them out. When someone asks you a question and decides to delete it after it's sent, you'll still get that (1 new) message. The (1 new)(1 new) message is probably just a glitch in the coding. Don't worry about it.

I was wondering which whitening system would be best, Crest or Rembrant? Thanks!

I've been using the whitening system by Crest after I was told that I don't have to wear my retainer anymore and it has been working really good for me.

are there any home remedies that can get rid, or help treat pimples. I have some of that perscription stuff...but I'd like to try something new. I rate high. Thanks!

The only home remedy I know that works is using toothpaste. If you apply a thin layer of toothpaste over your zits, then it will dry it out and reduce the redness of it. There are other ways but you wanted 'home remedies' so there's one.
