Hi there. I saw that you recommended to someone to go on garmentfashioner.com for good deals on clothing. Have you used them before or heard any feedback on the quality and/or reliability for them? It looks like they are an importer and I wanted to see if anyone had feedback about them. Thanks!
Well no, but they have reasonably priced clothing and appear to come in good selections of sizes and various designs. Most online stores, like gojane.com for example, take 1-2weeks to get the order to you ( I have used gojane); and there's no mailing or shipping on Sundays for anywhere, so keep that in mind. Most ARE reliable but I haven't checked that particular one out right down to the roots if you know what I mean ;) So I have no experience with that website, sorry. But I'll share as much as I know with you. If you really want to get the clothing etc. in as quick as possible (If you want it for a certain occassion or in-time for a birthday gift or something), use Fed-Ex. They take only a few days (normally) to deliver you what you wanted, but it's more expensive. UPS takes a lot longer, like a week or two. But if you don't get it in the day after you order it don't worry, because once it took me THREE OR FOUR WEEKS from gojane, so I never ordered from there again! They're not the greatest, so I don't advise you to go out of your way to buy from that store.
So bottom Line: Yes, I'm sure they're reliable to some extent to at least have a website, because I've never been to one that scams you, clothing online stores aren't ever like that most of the time. But if they take a long time, remember that it's just any regular online store and they can only be so convenient for you and others because they are probably flooded with emails of orders in their inbox everyday for clothing. So good luck! Hope I helped.

13/f i'm takin voice lessons this summer and for an assignment, we need to sing a song with a story. any suggestions? :)
thanks
lotsa luv,
liz
Have you ever listened to any of Carrie Underwood's music? If not, go to iTunes and look her up. Or google lyrics, here some great songs by her that tell a fantastic story.
~ Jesus Take the Wheel
~ Don't forget to Remember me
~ Before he Cheats
~ I Ain't in Chacotah anymore
Jesus Take the Wheel tells a story about a girl who is a Christian, but starts to lose her faith in God, so one night on Christmas Eve she almost hits another car... but then she asks Jesus to take the wheel and save her and her daughter's life.
Don't forget to remember me tells a story of a girl who is just moving out and leaving to college and her and her mother are both going through a pain because of it.
Before he cheats is a story where her boyfriend cheats on her and she explains what happens through her experience.
I ain't in Checotah anymore tells a story about how her life changed since she was famous and before she was famous etc.
Maybe YOU could write a song about something that happened in YOUR life. Because those end up being the best...
Maybe right about this...
- A past relationship
- Something or someone you miss
- Or a dream of yours
OR EVEN SOMETHING CHEESY AND WEIRD!
Hope I helped,

so i like this guy alot. he's really nice and sweet and funny and he likes me a lot too. he told me this about two days ago, then broke up with his girlfriend to ask me out. he hasn't asked me out yet, and i dont know what to say. i really do want to go out with him, but there hasn't been one girl he's gone out with that he hasn't cheated on.. so what would make me any different? should i talk to him? he's a really great guy but i'm just not dowm with the cheating thing.
Here's the deal:
If he's cheated in past relationships he's more than likely to do it again. If he likes you, it's probably nothing personal because he's been with so many girls and has cheated. I don't think you should go out with him, I think you deserve better. EVERYONE does. Because once you get passed the looks... it's the person behind them that you have to deal with in the relationship. So have fun being single, because it doesn't always last long until a nice guy comes along! Because if you DO go out with that guy, then break up with him you might not have as much of a chance as going out with a NICE guy. Hope I helped, good luck!

what song is this? i know its by jewel, but i dont remember the name of the song. and i dont want like a website where i type in the beat of the song, cause i dont know the beat, thats why i need the name of the song, to learn the beat on my guitar. this is the guitar tab for it..
------0---1---3--1--0--1
--3---------------------
-2-2----2--2---2--2--2--
0-----------------------
------------------------
------------------------
thats just the veryyy beginning of it, but that took me like 20 minutes to type out haha, so if you need more to tell what song it is, i can add it to the question.
thanks so much!
I think it MIGHT be Intuition by Jewel. Not sure though, so go to iTunes and check it out or something.
Can someone come up with some good techno songs i want more of them

MY FAVORITE!!!
Ok I'm gonna burst now. I haven't had enough sleep at all for the past few months. My room's in a very bad position. The road is just right in front of my room and the moment cars whiz by, I wake up, esp if they are huge trucks or buses.
In fact, my whole house is in a very bad arrangement. I live in a single storey house and all the rooms are exposed to the living rooms, kitchens and my neighbours. My neighbours can actually look into our rooms. So whenever any noise is made in the living room , kitchen or by our neighbours, it gets heard in our rooms.
I'm going crazy. My eye bags are very horrible and I look awful. Someone please help me! My dad and my sis seem to be able to sleep through all these noises but both my mum and I can't .
Please don't tell me to use the white noise machine or white noise because I don't think it'll work and besides, I don't intend to get one. Leaving the radio on doesn't help either. I actually got kept awake because of leaving the radio on. Anyone can help me to change my attitude towards such noises and for good ness sake, sleep properly at night? I don't think anyone's in a worse predicament than me.
Scientists say that it's easier to sleep in rooms with a bed with no clutter around it, painted a light blue or a light green with few paintings. Don't let your room get complex and messy. Stay away from caffeine and sugar during the day, it will make you too hyper. And sugar gives you nightmares. Hope I helped!
k, so i plucked down there for the 1st time today because i read about it on here. but then i thought..omg..what are the coincedences? what will happen when the hair grows back? how often should i pluck? because my skin is all irratated so its the only thing i can do.
Nair causes burns so DON'T use it!
Just shave with skintimate
Every 3 days you should... or 4 or 5.
Probably wait 4.
Ingrown hairs can happen which can lead to boils.
But I didn't get any, so don't worry.
You might get infected
Hope I helped!
Consult a doctor
My mom has been sick with a mild cold for about 4-5 days to a week. She's 45. Then all of the sudden last night she almost started vomitting. But she was having diarrhea. She had stomach pains earlier this evening, and had a terrible head ache. I gave her a bag of cold string beans in replace of an ice pack. Is she okay? What's up? I'm scared and worried! I value her health! So much! She had a tempurature of 101 degrees earlier...
Now it's 100.6 degrees. But it took hours too get down. I pray that she's ok. Is something seriously wrong?
Camile Tea helps
Get her to the hospital anyway... you'll regret it later if you don't. And remember to watch out for her and pray for her.
Other than that there's really not much else you can do.
ok i have 2 questions what is the difference between head and a blowjod and can u get aids from giving head or a blowjob??
Let me start out by saying, giving head and giving blowjobs are the same thing. Same process/procedure.
You can get herpes, aids, any STD because you have it in your mouth. If you get herpes it never goes away; EVER. They haven't found a cure and I don't know if they will...
Anyway,
The warts are caused and stay forever. On your genitals, throat, WHEREVER! You can't control where you get it. Condoms break, don't have sex if you don't want a kid, or you're not ready, or you're just not prepared etc. There's this girl that has herpes in her throat so she has a sore throat for the rest of her life. Worth it? Nah!
okay so lately i have been having dreams like i had one dream that (im 13/f btw) i went to the kitchen and made instant pudding and when i woke up, there were like three dishes of pudding sitting on the table. and ill have a dream that i went outside to the shed and when i wake up the light will be on and the door open. my mom says she never hears anything and i think i might be doing stuff in my sleep. what can i do???? i dont want to hurt myself or anyone else.
You're probably just sleepwalking. I do it too! Before the first day of 7th grade in my sleep I took out all my glow sticks and birthday cards. Then I woke up in the middle of the night and found glowing stuff under my blankets and old birthday cards from years ago! The glow sticks were meant as pencils and the birthday cards meant paper in my dream! Once I even slept walked and told my dad I wanted to watch the Patriots game with him. One time my friend got up in the middle of the night to tell her mom she was going to sleep. LOL! But if you do dream of something harmful, and do it in your sleep, SEE A DOCTOR BEFORE THIS HAPPENS! You could be put on medication.
I am adopted, and i want to know the WHOLE story of my life. I have talked with my family all about my twin brother, and they tell me he died. They dont give me details, saying in that time nobody talked about things like that. Every time i ask them, they spring new things at me, and it doesnt make sense anymore.
i want to know my real mom, my real dad, my twin brother. I want my parents to send a post-card to my first daddy. but my 2nd dad wont do it, coming up with excuses.
i dont know what to do. I feel so rejected.
Maybe it's because they're not nice people and they don't want you to get hurt. They might think it's odd to recieve a post-card. They may take it offensively thinking, "Oh this is their way of saying HAHA I HAVE YOUR CHILD!" Type of thing. Don't take it personally... things will be okay. You're not alone! My sisters that were twins died 15 years ago, I never met them I'm only 13. And there's not a minute of my life I don't think about them. Eventually when you get older you'll know your background etc. because right and purpose comes with age and responsibility.
My boyfriend and my one month is tommorrow but i have no freaking clue what to get him. I mean i really dont know where he shops and stuff because we have been only going out for a month now and i hardly to get too see him because we go to different schools. Soooo i need your help. Tell me what some of you girls got your bf's for your one month or something. Ang guys tell me what you guys wanted for your one month or just a present. Thanks :]

~katelyn~
a scrapbook of ur times together... but you've only been going out for a month so that might not work...
ask him what his fave movie is or fave band
u can get him a cd or a movie with a bouquet of roses and one fake one. make the fake one a twisted napkin in the form of a rose. a guy did that for me once, it was so nice. but anyways, attach a note with it that says "i'll be there for you until the last one dies"
I am doing a paper on how to raise money to build schools in Africa. What are some ways to raise the money?
1. Fundraising in school or your neighborhood
2. Do chores for neighbors, put up flyers about it etc. to send the money to the cause.
3. Babysitting etc.
4. Make a savings account and deposit a little every week for that cause and once you reach a yearly goal, donate it.
5. Create a website or blog to broadcast your cause, and people can donate but don't give out your address to ANYONE... maybe have them transfer it to a bank account or something.
So good luck and I hope I helped! Good luck with the paper.
hi i know this is really long buti just need to know!! im 16 and a soph in hs..i like this girl that im really close friends with alot and ive told her before how i feel and she said she just doesnt want to risk our friendship...i told her i would never let that happen but she said she didnt kno and now she has a senior bf of about 4 months and i really care for her..ive tried other girls but none compare to her..thers just something about her that keeps pulling me back...should i tell her and risk getting her away from her boyfriend and maybe with me or do i risk it and have the possibility of ruining a chance of her...ps we are supposed to hang out this comming weekend so should i do it now or after we hang out or when we hang out..thanks so much in advance
For now, all you can do is respect the fact she wants to keep your friendship, as it is. And I understand that it's really hard to see someone that you love, fall in love with someone else. But time is what you have to give the situation. Nothing really more you can do. Respect her space, and most importantly BE THERE for her when she's crushed or hurt by her boyfriend. To show how he didn't deserve her and tell her positive things about her personality and looks. Ask her to hang out more often, and as for that weekend you'll be seeing her, tell her how much you REALLY care for her and you will accept the rejection or acception because you want to be with her a lot of the time. But keep in mind, that she is not trying to hurt you, she wants to keep your friendship because she loves you (as a friend). And doesn't want either of you to get hurt, when friends become more than that it can hurt like heck when it's over.
So good luck!
So about a month or so ago, i tried cutting myself just to see what its like and i wanted to see what people get out of it. Strangely...i sortof liked it. I havent done it at all since the third or second day but i WANT to...
What should i do?
I was in the same situation as you at one point in my life, I liked it too. But you should really stop, see... I cut the TOP of my wrists because I was depressed but not so depressed as to cutting the BOTTOM. If you cut the bottom of your wrists, that's right where your vains are and can kill you. And I wasn't feeling suicidal at that point in my life and I'm sure you're not either so don't go there. They say your pulse of blood flows through there so fast that you can bleed to death. Some have experienced it by it squirting straight up in the air. But just be sure that you stop cutting yourself, and make sure it's just experimental cutting. If it's depression, then get help! But first see what's causing it and try to figure out why on your own before you go to any phsychiatrist. So to shorten all of this into a sentence :DON'T CUT YOURSELF!; It leaves scars on your wrists AND your life. And have you ever realized how if you stop doing something for a little while you won't wanna do it? Just make sure you don't do it anymore and you won't be interested.
Hope I helped!
What is personality? What does it mean? What are personality traits?
I don't really understand this..even if I use a dictionary.
Your personality is the way you behave in a social environment, by yourself, and how you handle situations. Personality traits are being pretty, smart, funny, relentless, boring, unthoughtful, weird, cool, hyper, talented etc. Personality is like the way you act. Like with your friends, are you the funny one? The smart one? The hyper or weird one? Whichever one(s) you are, that's YOUR personality. Like the class clown's personality would be funny, relentless, thoughtful, and clever. A smart persons' personality would be based on a lot of different things too! Talented, smart, etc. But just because you have a personality trait that has nothing in common with the other, doesn't mean you aren't. Are you unpredictable? Boring? Fun? Tired? Annoying? Those are more examples of personality traits.
I hope I helped

my "UnOfficial" bestfriend (we love eachother and would probably die for eachother, but have a "we-pretend-to-hate-eachother" kinda friendship, like we act like enemies but we're not) is my cousin. And her birthday is in 10 days, I need to buy her the perfect gift to say "I Love You" but it cant be anything cheesy like a picture-album because 1: we dont have any pictures together since we're "enemies" and 2: that would be too much since we're not used to epressing our care for eachother.
What could I buy/make her that would be REALLY heart-warming, but not too much?
Get her a CD or recording of either 1) You two during home videos dancing or singing or something funny when you two were younger. Or 2) some of her favorite music. Get her maybe a movie she likes, or take her for a walk along the beach? Something nice that tells her you appreciate her ESPECIALLY on her birthday! Get her a gift certificate to her favorite stores etc. Something home-made and thoughtful.
Hope I helped

Okay, I'm a 14 year old female.
I've been masturbating since the summer.
See, on here, I've asked many questions and I always recieve the same answer, "Nothing is wrong with you, it's healthy." And sure, you say my friends are doing it but want to keep it personal, okay. Well I DON'T want to masturbate. The thing is, I don't know how to stop without getting urges or having the temptation to do it again, because I've tried fighting that and it's not helping. Please, help me. I don't want to be the monster I am anymore.
First of all, masturbating does not make you a monster but try this:
Going online, like a virtual community?
Chatting online
Call a friend to hang out etc.
Go shopping
Go out to dinner
See a movie
Watch some T.V.
Read a book or a magazine etc.
Or even daydream!
Play a game like LIFE, Truth or Dare, or Monopoly
Even put on loads of make-up just to fool around or find a new look for the heck of it!
Maybe even do housework?
I Hope those suggestions will help you out!
