My name is Laura and I'm 28 years old. I live in Illinois and work as a licensed veterinary technician. I am a runner, bookworm and obviously, an animal lover.I've been on this site since '05. I take hiatuses, but I'm never gone for good. I enjoy giving advice and I've made such lovely friends on this site that I couldn't imagine giving it up!
chat it up yo.
ps. here's my bestestestest friend.
I love him. You will too :)
advice
There's a folder with my ALL my music. Well a while ago, I was deleting stuff on my computer to free space. I don't know what I did wrong but now I can't open my music folder!!! ;[ When I try to open it, it says "the drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Sample Music.lnk' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again." Now all of my songs on iTunes won't work. =| I know all the songs are still on my hard drive somewhere, because when I searched for some songs, I found them. I don't want to have to seach for every song on my computer D: because I don't have every song in iTunes so iTunes wouldn't be a very good source that lists the songs I could possibly search for. How can I fix this? Does anyone know what I could do? x[
Well, the only thing I can think of is to go to iTunes, and try to import your previous iTunes library? Anyways, click that and go to:
File-Import-My Documents-My Music-iTunes-Previous iTunes Libraries and try and import that.
If that doesn't work, I'm sorry and I hope you find a way to get your music back =/
Also, this columnist is amazing with computers and can probably help you:

I need some advice in what to say to my parents. They are forcing me to play a sport that I dont want to play. Can you help me?
It's better to be honest with them and tell them exactly how you're feeling than to hide it or try hinting it to them.
Just tell them you need to talk to them, sit down with them, and go. Explain to them that you don't want to play, WHY you don't want to play, and that you feel like they're pushing you to do something you don't want to do. Don't be afraid, they're your parents, and they'll most likely understand =]

im a guy im 13. i like this girl alot and i told her last school year on valentines day in a love letter and i dont know if she likes me and i did ask her in the letter if she liked me but never said a thing. i talked to her this year and i asked her if she read it she said yesthen i asked her what she thought she said something but it was realy realy quite it sounded like a hamber siziling then i said say something even if its stupid which now i think was stupid but she laughed then i told her why cause
i didnt want to annoy her then now we hardly talk or never but every time we see ecother i look at her then the looks at me but she doesnt talk to me any more but she talks to this other boy alot but i think their friends cause every one thinks hes not straight and he agreed i think but her friends like sheild her away from me and my friends sorta do the same does me like me or does she hate me but to nice to say that.she smiles around me and if its sorta funny she laughs and shes sorta shy i think (i think)
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=532578
From there:
I'm going to start off by saying this: if a girl smiles A LOT when she's around you, she probably likes you as more than a friend.
The Top 5 other things to look for:
1. She laughs at your jokes.
- No matter how many times she's heard them, or how totally lame they are, she'll laugh at them. End of story.
2. She touches you (not sexually, get your head outta the gutter!)
- She plays with your hair, or fixes your shirt or something. Maybe she even holds your hand, that's a pretty good sign that she likes you.
3. She includes you in things.
- She talks to you even when she's with her friends. She makes an effort to include you, like by asking you things. Even lame questions like, 'What color should I paint my nails?' might be her way of trying to include you.
4. She makes an effort to talk to you/see you.
- She texts you just to say hello, she's late to class just because she wanted to hug you good bye, or she calls you just to see what you're doing.
5. She trusts you, and talks to you seriously.
- She tells you things that she might not normally tell others. Like, if she's in a bad mood and tells others she's fine, she'll actually tell you that she failed that geometry test, or her friends aren't including her lately. She opens up to you and isn't afraid to be herself.
Even though every girl is different, these are the top 5 things girls do when they like a guy. So, chances are, if she's holding your hand and texting you saying :" Hey whatcha up to? :)", chances are she's doing it all for a reason.

You'll start experiencing PMS. No, it's not some horrible diease, it's just a sign of your period.
Here are the major signs:
Abdominal bloating
Abdominal cramps
Breast tenderness or swelling
Stress or anxiety
Aggression
Trouble falling asleep (insomnia)
Joint or muscle pain
Inability to finish thoughts
Headache
Fatigue
Acne
Extreme tearfulness
Mood swings

my parents sent me to bording school so i wound stop haveing sex and i had sex at school and i have missed my period 6 weeks and i am getting lager i am pritty small what do i do i am 16
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=538566
Read that ^
The best idea, however, is to go see your doctor. Next time, please practice safe sex.

im now a 10th greader in school and it seams like im always getting mad at something or someone and it end's up as me not talking or me hitting the wall... i was wondering what i can do so that i dont get as mad in school?
Everybody gets mad, you just have to learn how to control your anger.
Here are some tips:
When something makes you angry, don't lash out right away. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and count to 10. This will help you calm down a little before you do anything stupid.
Instead of hitting a wall, just breathe and think about it. If you get a bad grade, think, "Next time, I'll study harder and I'll get a better grade." Avoid thinking things like, "I am such an idiot!!! How could I do that?!?!?"
Talk about what makes you mad. Talk to a friend, or a school counselor about your feelings. Letting all of your anger and emotions build up is an equation for trouble. Find somebody that you trust, and talk to them. Make sure to stay calm. Just say something like, "It made me really mad when..."
It's going to take some time, but if you really work at it, you'll be able to control your anger and handle it in a much better way =]
Good luck!

My hair's blonde, thin, frizzy, and damages too easily. =( I dont know what to do with it, it's too hard to manage. Do you know any good products?? If you have any tips, that'd be really helpful too. Thanks so much =D
♥&Hearts;♥♥
Do you straighten/blowdry/curl it a lot? If so, cut back on that for starters.
Next, go to the store and in the shampoo/conditioner aisle, look for a shampoo and conditioner that says "Repairing". I don't know specific product names, but there are a few to choose from.
-Laura. (16-f)
im 13 and dont know what i can do for money
what kind of jods
ADVICE???
Most places LEGALLY can't hire kids to work until they are 15 or 16. So, you really can't get an actual job for a few years.
However, you can do some other things like:
- Babysitting.
- Mowing lawns.
- Walking dogs.

Me and my mother were in the mall the other day and we went into Hot Topic, And you know those little sex shirts that they have, well my mom bought one!, ya and she is over wight so it was kind of gross, But that was not the worse part, then i hear her and my step father haveing sex, for the theird time! one tims my friend was over to! My problem is that when ever i talk or see them its like mad awkward, i cant help but want to say whats your problem or mom how was your night? how to I handle this?? And i dont really like the way my mother is buying clothes that I should eb wearing not her. what do i do??
Talk to her about it. Tell her it makes you uncomfortable when she wears sexy clothes, because they aren't made for her age group. Just let her know it bothers you.
Maybe, you could go shopping with her to an age appropriate store. Help her pick out things that are more for her age and body.

Thanks :)
I'm very sorry about your grandfather.
Here are some song suggestions:
I Hope You Dance: Lee Ann Womack.
Here Without You: 3 Doors Down.
Bend & Break: Keane.
Safe and Sound in Phone Lines: A Change of Pace.
Fix You: Coldplay.
To Where You Are: Josh Groban.
Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion IS a really pretty song, like a columnist below suggested.
I hope this helps =]

I just a job this summer at a really small store. (i'm 15/f, by the way) There are 5 people total who work there, and it's a pretty close-knit environment. There's a guy who works there too, who's my age (well, he's 16) and in my grade. We've only known each other about a month, but he just told me that he liked me a couple days ago. We haven't had time to talk about it though, so he doesn't know if i like him or not. I think I do, but I'm not so sure. Sometimes he's perfect and wonderful, and other times he's just weird. (he's homeschooled, so that probably has something to do with it). Should I just date him and see how it goes? Or should I say that I'm not really ready for a relationship?
Do you like him? If so, why not give him a chance? Hang out with him a little more, and see where things go. It could be the best decision you ever make!
But, if you find you aren't really that into him, you can be honest and say you only see him as a friend. And if you DO find that you like him, let him know.
Good luck =]
-Laura. (16-f)

Alright, I really can't figure this out. And I searched the questions first too and couldn't find the answer...
How do you put up a full-size picture on your advice column here? Whenever I try, the picture is too big. Other columnists have these full-size pictures and I want to know how they did it...
Thanks =]
Upload the picture to:
www.tinypic.com
Then, copy the code that says:
"Direct Link for Layouts".
Then on Advicenators, click Profile Settings, and paste the code under the "URL of a picture of you" section.

Of first of all My bestfriend knew about us and my boyfriend...I dint think that she was happy but she told me...I was always with my boyfriend in a way....So my boyfriend and my bestfriend are fighting like "I was first planning it"!!I know my bestfriend has to understant I'm in a relationship and that confuses me I'm stuck in the middle when I'm wit them so.....who do I go out with?
Both!
Take them both out to dinner or to see a movie. This way, you're not choosing one over the other or leaving somebody out =]
