i'll answer any questions you ask =)

i was watching tv and i saw this commercial to lose weight using the sauna belt ..like you would put it around your stomach and you could lose inches.. i was wondering if anyone has ever tried this sauna belt before and if it acutally worked and where can i buy this and how much does it cost?

i saw a magazine article on this. it doesn't work. it makes your stomach look smaller, but idk if thats what you wanna do?? at least its not the thing you should do. i'd stick to exercising & watching what you eat.

ok i took a driving class thing in my high school. now what do i do? im sixteen. do i enroll in a driving school somewhere and they teach me stuff? then i take a road test right

you have your permit?? for all states its different. you should probably ask your school what you can do next. i juss took my permit & go for my drivers test when im ready. some schools have drivers ed (like yours) & then you can go to the dmv to get a driver to teach you what to do er the could be another class you have to take.

I was out swwimming yesterday and I went over to myfriend's place. I had just put on my jeans and I sat on their couch. When I got up, there was a huge blue stain on the couch. I had read something about just flipping it over so I just flipped the beige cushion over but now I'm feeling really bad about it because that stain would never come out.
Should I tell my friend?

yes definately tell your friend. i did something like that once & they were actually mad about me covering it up..not the stain. you want to be honest & plus you want them to be able to fix it. if you juss leave it there, it'll stain & sit there longer cause they won't know about it. soo yeah definately let her know.

What can boast your metabolism....???????

Also does green tea even work?

i heard that if you eat 5 small meals a day, rather than 3 big meals, that can boost your metabolism. it also depends on your age. if you're younger, it'll be easy. if you're older, it might be more difficult. here's a website-

Is it safe to buy stuff from eBay?

hmm..idk about that. some stuff yes, some stuff no. i'm not exactly sure what you mean by safe. sometimes there's people that aren't fair & rip you off, but sometimes there's people that don't & do a good job. the best thing to do is before you buy something off of ebay, make sure the person selling it has good references. check their comments. a lot of people who bought things from them, leave comments & stuff & they're rated. if they have bad comments & low ratings..then yeah you might not want to buy from them. the owners of ebay check to make sure there aren't people ripping people off, but of course some don't get caught. so yeah, check that. if things seem a little weird, don't buy their stuff. i think you'll be able to tell. if you do get ripped off, you can make a report & get your money back.

what is g-unit?

uhh i think you are talking about the rap group?? haha =) yeah it's a bunch of rappers that put together a group to make albums & stuff. you probably heard of 50 cent & yeah he's in it. a lot of other rappers are, but if you don't know who g-unit is you won't know who they are. if your question is what does it mean..i heard the g stands for gorilla unit. yeah idk exactly. think of it this way- a group of rappers formed together to make a 'unit' to make music. here's a website-

Alright i got my tongue pierced like 5 or 6 days ago. And today it finally went down like major (the swelling) then out of nowhere the bottom is very very swollen.

Is this normal??

Thanks

i don't have my tongue pierced, but i heard of that before. i think it's somewhat normal. i mean think about it, you jammed something metal into your tongue, soo it probably will do that. swelling stays for awhile, especially with a tongue piercing. if it doesn't get better, er even gets worse, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go back to the place & ask about it.

I was wondering if there was a code to get the scroll boxes on myspace pages. Like, you type stuff in it, and you can scroll it when its on the page...or, do you have to have a certain layout? Thanks.

you can get a certain code for it. try this-

www.whateverlife.com

they basically have every myspace code possible.

Whenever someone posts a photobucket photo.. it doesn't show.
Sometimes it does but it doesn't work when
they copy the little code on photobucket... it's the right code but for my computer.. the picture just doesn't show.

And when I view source.. it's just a link to photobucket without the image.

What's wrong with my internet?

i don't think its your internet. photobucket is a private account. what that means is if you make a photobucket account, it's for you to view only unless you give someone your direct link. if you're looking through pictures on photobucket (using the search bar) & if you click on a random picture, it will take you back to their photobucket account. if you see it's loading & it still isn't showing, it means photobucket doesn't interact with your internet er your internet is too slow. try this-

www.tinypic.com

it's basically the same thing. if it does the same thing with that website, then hosting sites (such as photobucket & tinypic) are too fast for your internet type. if you notice it with more sites too, then you should get your computer checked out. if it only did that with photobucket, then you shouldn't worry about it too much.

I have minor acne and i wear make-up 2 clean it up.My dad says not 2 wear it but i do any way.All my friends say im so pretty and so do random people. i dont think im so preety.I dont care if my friends think im pretty i want this 1 boy jay to think i am.He only likes this 1 girl jasmine who is hawiin and japaneese and so pretty.Does the acne have any thing 2 do with what he thinks of me????

it probably doesn't. if it does, then he's really shallow. appearance seems to be a big thing since you guys are teenagers & what not & that's understandable. believe your friends. they wouldn't lie to you about being pretty, but you do have to realize that everyone has different opinions. since you are a teenager (im guessing) the acne thing shouldn't be a huge problem since you're taking care of it. most teenagers do have acne. i never had it myself, but almost all my friends have it. if it becomes more of a problem, you can always go to a dermotologist. i really don't see acne as a big thing. everyone has it one time er another & as long as you're taking care of it it shouldn't be a problem. if he's judging you by your acne anyway, you wouldn't want to date him to begin with.

how can i get over a guy that i was really starting to like? because now he has a girlfriend and hes loves her so really there is no use..

plus i feel bad because for awhile i was kinda using my cousin without even realizing since i liked their neighbor and hes always over at their house.

but i always want to hangout with my friend because i know there will be a good chance that i will see him! this needs to stop..how can i help this? hes all i can think about..sadly.

plus if i do see him do you think it would be better that we didnt flirt because he always flirts with me still so should i like not totally blow him off but not flirt so much? kinda playing hard to get.

i just need tips/advice!

thank you

it's good that you're backing off because he has a gf. there are plenty of girls that will keep trying for a guy no matter what. i think that's really disrespectful to his gf, so you're doing the right thing. the only way to get over it would be to date around. meet new guys, hang out with them, etc. you should play hard to get, because he does have a gf. if he flirts with you, that's his decision. don't be a true flirt back. that situation could be kind've not so good. you're right though. don't totally blow him off. you might even want to tell him that you do like him, you're trying to get over him, & that you still want to be friends. why?? yes he does have a gf, but you want to be honest too. maybe he really likes you & not her, but thinks you don't like him?? you never know. the best would be to talk to him about it & decide from there.

Okay, so I'm thinking about getting highlights tomorrow. I don't want them like, covering my head, but I want a few layered into my hair, y'know?
What's the price range for a few reddish highlights?
Also, I've never dyed my hair before and I'm kinda worried that my awesome natural hair color will be altered by the dye. Should I be worried about this, or no?

my cousin is a hair dresser & depending on where you go it can really range. i'd say the average cost around here for highlights would be up to $25-$50, not including other costs. if your hair is a darker brown/black it probably wont change too much. if your hair is really light er even blonde, then it might but that's not for sure. there's always a chance of your hair color being altered. i never actually had my hair dyed before but talk to your hair stylist before. i'm sure he/she can give you the full details.

How do I tell what is acting interested in a girl and being annoying toward her? I work with this girl at a college we both go to and she went back home for the summer. I really care about her a lot and, if this isn't love, what the hell is? I call her about once every three days, I try to show I care, but not up in her business all the time. What do most girls like as far as calling and stuff like that? Also, what are a girl's signals? They claim they send them, but I have no idea what they are. Thanks, ladies.

girls are..interesting i guess?? haha =) since i am one i can probably help you out. okay i constantly talk to my bf about this type of stuff & since we've been together for awhile hes getting the hang of it. there is a huge difference between calling a lot & calling not enough. since you aren't dating, i think it's fine that you call her once every 3 days. if you do start dating, obviously you want to do it daily. you can tell by her tone if you're annoying her. if you call & she says hey! how are you, then yeah shes glad you called. if you call & she says hi & you have to guide the convo, you called at the wrong time. i don't think girls hide things that easily. like if she doesn't want to talk to you, she'd probably let you know directly er indirectly. depending on her personality. girls each have different signals. there's usually the strong flirts where you can tell er the shy, hard to get ones. a lot of my friends play with their hair when they like the guy er laugh a lot, especially if he's making a nonfunny joke. a lot of girls go and touch his hand er shoulder er something. i'm definately not saying all girls do this. it's juss what i would do & so would my friends. you might want to start talking to her about this if you're planning to get into a relationship. good luck!

im going on vacation tomorrow and i will be seeing my old friends and cousins. i havent seen them in two or three years. when i see them i think it may be kinda akward and all. does anybody have ideas to mabye make it feel less akward? thanks for any ideas!!

the only thing i could think of is to talk about stuff that happened before. ya know, like inside jokes. you could also talk about new stuff. your school, sports, friends, family, etc. i think if you talk about situations that happened with each other (maybe a party er something you went to with them before) it would lighten things up a bit & make it not so akward.

Hi. My name is nickie. I'm 13 yrs. old and still haven't had my first kiss yet. There's this guy i really like and i'm goin to his b-day before the summer's over. I really wanna have my first kiss, and I'm pretty sure he likes me because we flirt all the time. Do you think I should go for it?

if the time is right, go for it. you'll definately know when its right. if you don't know then it probably isn't the right time. if there's a bunch of people around & he seems busy it might be a bad idea. if it seems right, then definately go for it.

sorry if its a little long.

Me and my best friend always fight. Like i know friends fight and stuff, but not like us. We are always yelling at each other. Well when we fight i just get mad at her but she gets REALLY mean. She will start sayin all this bad stuff about me and it really hurts my feelings. I dont think she understands that. Like today we got in a fight. she wanted me to go somewhere with her and i was like well im gonnabe honest and not make up a lie, i just dont really feel like going. Thinking that because i was telling the trush she would be like okay. But instepd she was like thats stupid your borring im gonnna invite someone elese your missing all the fun and like rubbing it in and all this stuff. I dont understand her and it makes me mad. I dont wanna keep fighing like this. what should i do?

this is a teenage thing. i'm guessing you're a teenager?? well anyways, friends (especially girls) do that a lot. juss try not to let it bother you. if she's your friend, she won't mean it & will come back & appologize each time. talk to her about it. you should tell her you really don't like fighting & if she values your friendship & wants to stay friends, she should try to stop & tell her that you will try too. if you are fighting that much, is she your friend?? it might be better if you guys didn't spend as much time together. maybe hang out with other people. another idea would be hanging out in a bigger group so you guys can talk & then talk to other people too. it might prevent you guys from fighting as much.

I really want to become a Professional Golfer and play on the LPGA (ladies pro golfers' association) tour some day. I am optimistic because my grandpa coached a girl that is currently on the Futures Tour, but also a little hesitant because i am afraid i won't be good enough. My uncle has a pro shop in Michigan, and has helped me a lot, but i don't seem to be getting much better. I don't play much, because i don't have time. Should i give up my dream, or keep going for it?
PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE!!!!

go for it. do you want to not do it & then totally regret it later on?? probably not. i'd say go for it. there's a really corny but true quote that is in like every classroom at my school- shoot for the moon, if you fall you'll land among the stars. yeah kinda corny haha =) i think it's true though. it's definately more worth it to try & see what happens rather than wondering what could have.

i have and appt. to get my braces taken off in a couple of days. Do you know if it hurts? and how long does it take?.. my friend said it takes an hour.. but mine is scheduled for 30 min.

hope you can help!

i never had braces, but my bf had them & so did my friends. they all told me, depending on the doctor, that it takes from 30 mins-an hour. no longer than 2 hours. they all said it hurt a bit but they also said it's definately worth it.

i need to know how to make my ex man jealous he made me feel and look like a complete fool . he made me hate myself and want revenge.

you could actual make yourself look like a fool by doing this if you aren't mature about it. the best thing would be to totally leave him alone & move on to someone else. since he made you look like a fool, he's probably expecting you to do the same back. don't give him what he wants. he's your ex isn't he?? it'd be a better idea to juss leave him alone. i think he'll look more stupid if he was the one who was a jerk to you & you were the bigger person & left it go.
