14/F

So I'm going on vacation for two weeks and I'm trying to pack light...I was wondering, do I really need to bring shaving cream for my legs/under my arms?
Any opinions are helpful.

you don't really have to. i wouldn't, but then again, i don't really use shaving cream that often anyway.

i was watching tv with my b/f haha and someone was pregnant and had morning sickness. someone asked what that was and i told them, then my b/f jokingly says yeah you would know, first hand experience. and i said no?? what? he said dave! (ex bf who pretty much used me) and i said no! again. i know hes joking and all but do you think he means something more by it? and my bf now is kind of shy so it was odd for him to bring up, but im totally not like that i mean in terms of doing anything sexual, im not a slut and ive only gone to 2nd what do i do

oh, my friends and i tease each other all the time like that. he probably doesn't mean anything more by it, he just means that you would know about morning sickness if you had gotten pregnant, but you didn't obviously. just try to forget it if it makes you angry. but he didn't mean anything by it, from what i can tell.

but what is a "name" meaning and "symbol" meaning???

haha, i had to read the question again to remember what you're talking about. the "name" meaning is the unit that is .1 grams... so since a gram is the base unit, the unit that is .1 X base is deci. so decigram would be the answer. you just do the same thing for each one. and like for 10 meters, you choose which unit is 10 X base unit. that's deka (sp?), so it would be dekameters. as for the symbol meaning, it is basically the same thing, except you have the little abbreviations. so do the same thing as in the exercise before, but then change the answer to the abbreviation. like meters is m, centimeters is cm, grams are g, et cetera. i don't know all the abbreviations, but you can look them up if you want.

has anyone heard of people saving other people in a burning house and moved furniture with superhuman strength b/c of adrenaline or something?

yeah, it's a psychological thing. if your kid is pinned under a car, would you sit there and watch or would you try to get the car off of your child? my mom told me about people who have had that adrenaline rush and can do stuff like that.

Ok well I haven't had a mosquitto bite in 5 years so i don't know if thsi is normal but it is as big as those tamagotchi thingies!

I have no medication at all and I'm goign to the carnival tommorrow.

How can i make it better and fast?

first of all, i envy that you have not been bitten in five years. use benadryl spray, and don't scratch it. mosquito bites are normally not a big deal though. i have like ten at any given time. it's normal for them to be like a little bigger than a quarter.

I have to make a video for a school project. none of the people in my group have like actual video cameras which sucks so we're using my mom's digital camera. We're making it in parts divided by each scene. ok so the last time I tried uploading a video from this camera to the computer and putting it together on windows movie maker, i had to convert it from quicktime to windows media player. so, what is the best FREE program to do that and maybe also to edit the video so i can take the parts and make it one big video? the last time i did this i used some random website which made the video bad quality and the voices were off from the mouth. so what's the best thing to use? thanks

to convert the videos, use media-convert.com. it's always worked extremely well for me. windows movie maker will probably be the best program to use for free... you could try searching at download.com but you probably won't be able to download the full program if you find a better one.

whats a biological clock

it's distantly related to google.com, a close cousin to urbandictionary.com, acquainted with dictionary.com, and best friends with go look it up.

i have all this work to do for biology and i dont understand what they are asking and how to solve it. can anyone explain what they are asking and solve some if you can??thank you!

1. Give the SI Base Unit an symbol for:
a. mass
b. volume
c. length

2. Give the Relationship Between These Quantities:
a. 1 decaliter= ? liters
b. 1 hectometer= ? meters
c. 1 milligram= ? grams
d. 1 decigram= ? gram
e. 1 centiliter= ? milliters
f. 1 hectogram= ? kilogram

3. Give the Relationship Between These Quanities:
a. 1 dam= ? m
b. 1hL= ? L
c. 1dg= ? g
d. 1 daL= ? hL
e. 1cg= ? mg

4. Write the "name" meaning:
a. 0.1 gram=
b. 0.01 meter=
c. 0.000001 liter=
d. 100 liters=
e. 1,000,000 grams=
f. 10 meters

5. Write the 'symbol' meaning:
a. 0.001 L
b. 0.1 g
c. 0.01 m
d. 10 m
e. 1000 g
f. 1,000,000 L

this is just metric conversion. no calculator needed. i'm not going to answer your homework for you, but here's the way the metric system works...
kilo (1000 X base unit)
hecto (100 X base unit)
deka (10 X base unit)
base
deci (.1 X base unit)
centi (.01 X base unit)
mili (.001 X base unit)

google metric conversion. all you do is move the decimal point. here's an example... say that you have to convert 10 kilometers to meters. because there are 1000 meters in a kilometer, you move the decimal point to the right three places to get 10,000 meters in 10 kilometers. if you're still having trouble, call a friend.

ok i am not sure this is the rite category.... but i wanted to know what happened to nicole richie that made her loose that much weight? ppl say its gastric bipas and others say liposuction and people said that they deprived her from food AS WELL AS drugs in rehab..... what really happened?!

you can only get gastric bypass if it's sort of an emergency, so that's not it because she was never overweight. i'm thinking that it's drugs, and she was anorexic too. in rehab, they can't starve you or anything.

Is 18k gold better than 14k?

yes, gold (and gemstones) is judged in purity units of karats, so 18 karats is more pure. 18k has a higher percentage of gold than 14k and is therefore more expensive.

ok there are these shoes called crocs I think. they are those plastic type shoes that are like 8 dollars at walmart. people have told me they are comfy but i dont see it ... they are hard plastic basically. Are they really comfy? will they help me if im on my feet say, 9 or so hours a day?

crocs are actually made out of sturdy foam. they're not plastic, and if they are, then they're not real crocs. the real ones are like 30 bucks, and it's worth it to buy those. they last for forever and they're very comfortable. nurses and people that stand up a lot at their jobs wear them. besides that, they're great for the beach or lake, and you can get them in all different colors. they're also antibacterial or something- that's why nurses wear them. i have to stand up a whole heck of a lot at my job, and i wear them occasionally. they're as comfortable as tennis shoes, if not more. go to a store and try them on. if your friends have crocs, ask to wear them for a few minutes. they're really comfortable because they're made out of foam.

im planning on getting a 6 flags season pass but I really dont know how it works. I thought that you only have to buy the pass for 65 $ or whatever & you can go the whole 2007 year. But a couple of days ago when i asked someone else they said that you buy the pass just to get through the line quicker[i doubt it].
I really dont know what to think & i dont understand,so i just wanted someone[who bought it before] to explain EVERYTHING to me.
[the six flags website isnt working]
well thank you in advanced =]

the person you got your info from was wrong. i live in texas, so it might be a different price for you, but i bought mine the other day and it was like 80 bucks. you can go the whole 2007 year. actually, if you buy the season pass and only go twice, you are still saving money. it doesn't help you get through the line faster, you just get into the park at a reduced price. to get through the line faster you can buy a fastpass. basically, you can buy the season pass online OR you can wait until you get there and you're at the thing to buy your ticket, and you just say, "i want a season pass." then they take your money, and then they take your photo and get your name and stuff and make you a little card that you can stick in your wallet. also, they give you a little book of coupons for stuff like 10% off food or something. it's really handy.

Are you allowed to bring knitting needles on an airlplane? Why or why not?

no, they could be used as weapons... supposedly. they won't let you bring things like screwdrivers or nail clippers or silverware either.

15/f
Last night I was looking through a magazine and was reading an article on how to protect you skin from the sun and stuff. In the article it discribed different tyoes of cancerous moles. I've found two on my body (one on my cheek and one on my hip) and others that might be cancerous too that fit the discription and the picture it showed. I wanted to know if anyone could give me information about this. I haven't told anyone yet and I'm waiting until I get the information I need and If I really think I might have cancer then tell my family and go see a doctor. I was crying alot last night after I started thinking "Do I have cancer?" and didn't get much sleep. I'm really scared and need information.

go to a dermatologist. that is the only way you will know. but don't freak out... skin cancer is easily treated if it is caught quickly, like you have done. and honestly, it's probably not even skin cancer. they will remove the moles, and your insurance will probably pay for it. you need to go see a dermatologist anyway just to check on the moles. have they changed over a period of like the past year? that would cause concern. but it's really not much of a problem to get a mole removed. i know people who have had it done.

My son is 8 years old. He has a very good memory power. He now can tell capitals of all the 193 countries in the world.
Can yu advice me of any other items like above which he can master? Eg currencies of countries, etc.
Kiddly advice.
Regards
Anish

anything to do with math would be awesome! if he starts now, he will be so much better off. and it's a proven fact that children that take music lessons (like piano) at an early age do better in school, and in math in particular. so you might want to get him involved in music lessons too, if he wants to. whatever you do, never force him to memorize anything... i've been playing piano for like 10 years (i'm 15) and the only reason i've kept playing is not only because i love it, but also because nobody tells me what to play. my teachers always let me choose what to play, and when my mom tells me what to play, i want to smack her in the face. my personality is not conducive to such a structured environment. so keep in mind that as long as you don't pressure him into anything, it is good. he can also do like the united states capitals and stuff.

Try to bear with me, this might not make much sense.

When I look in the mirror, my legs and thighs look very nice and slim. However, when I physically look down at my legs, they seem fatter. Is it just the angle that I'm looking at them, that make them seem bigger? Or is the illusion in the mirror? Or are they supposed to look the same both ways, and I'm just crazy?

Basically, which view of my thighs is more accurate?

Kudos to anyone who understood that =)
thanks in advance

oh, i know what you mean! the more accurate view is the one in the mirror (thank god). if you have somebody take a picture of you, that is the same view you see in the mirror. it's the angle that makes them look different sizes.

I work outdoors very often, and have managed to acquire a very noticable farmer's tan. And it drives me crazy. Any tips on getting it to go away, or how to tan JUST the lighter part? Thanks very much!

-Kaite

it will definitely help if you go lay out in a swim suit outside for like 30 or 45 min a day for a few days. also, you can try jergen's natural glow lotion. i bought some the other day, and it's already working- i have horrible tan lines! haha. you could also go to a tanning bed, but i don't really have any experience with that. or you could wear a different style of shirt when you're working outside, like a tank top or wifebeater type shirt. that will help a little bit, but it won't completely fix it.

would you go out with a guy whos hot, nice and cool but he has a F or D in his classes?

personally, probably not... my parents, for one, would probably kill me. i'm in the top 10% so education is very important to me. and if he can't get good enough grades to get into college, what kind of future would we have together? sure, it would depend from person to person, but just with that information, no.
