About chaos



It's another crazy year in my world of entropy. I am engaged now and very excited. It will be a little while before we can get married due to money constraints, but it will happen.
I like things simple. I hope to give honest and useful advice. I don't believe in giving answers just to get good feedback. 98% of all questions put in my inbox will be answered. The only ones I don't answer are those too young to be here or too obscene/disrespectful. I don't know everything, but I think I can help a lot.

You are 13. You aren't supposed to good at relationships yet. Just go and have fun. And be positive. Others cannot love you until you love yourself.

This may sound like a stupid question but... What does the expression "having something stuck in your craw" mean? And what are other ways of wording it?

"Who peed in your cornflakes?"
"Boy you got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."
"You certainly have a chip on your shoulder."
"Your panties are in a wad."
Basically it means that whatever is bugging you needs to be dealt with because it isn't my fault is the loose translation.

i love my X but he has a gf now.. we were together for 8 months and i broke up with him and left for vacations. after i came back he asked me back but for some reasons we never hooked up again and fought. he started dating this girl and now they are together. when he was with her he used to call me but i never answer my cel because i was angry at him. about a month ago we saw each other at a party and he was with my best friend the whole party taking about me, he said "i would leave my gf just to be with her, i still love her." and more.. we talked but not much because i was too nervous to face him. we chatted and i asked him if what he had said was true and he said yes after that we didn't speak again, he didn't do anything neither did i. about 3 days ago he saw my best friend in tennis and they talked. she said "i always believed that you and alex would end up together" and he said "me too".. he always has in his nicks about past love and first love quotes like "i would never love the way i loved you" "it's so hard to forget about you" .. in his profile (wich he updates every week" he has "single" in his status. my parents were getting divorced, i was dealing with bulimia and my mom found out and gave me a hard time, i was feeling very low about me at that time but now i want him back. i think i'm losing him because he has on his nickname "now a love story is coming to an end" ..PLEASE advice me because i DO love him but put yourself in my position and tell me exactly what would you do!! remember that putting myself out there IS REALLY HARD.. PLEASE..advice me!!

These things happen. Start talking to him, but be sure he has broken up with the other girl or you might be wasting your time. Remember that good friends and boyfriends stick with you when things are going downhill despite how ill and crabby you are. Try to be thoughtful of his feelings and what he needs from you even when you are needy too.

I have a weird discharge, it smells a little weird but it smells good to me. In my underwear its stained yellow and its a little crusty whitish. But the significant thing that ive noticed is that on my genitals there is whitish stuff. Like in my inner lips, theres white chunkish stuff, and the closest thing that i can relate it to is cottage cheese. i heard this is an infection, and theres no possible way i can go to a doctor/gyno right now. And sometimes i get this feeling in my vagina thats like a cramp, but INSIDE my vagina like theres a knife stuck in it. It only lasts for about one second but it happens like 3-4 times a day and it stops me in my tracks. 1) Is this really an infection? 2) How do i treat it without going to the doc?

It is probably an infection.

You really need to go to the doctor, especially if it is the first time.

A friend of mine has his girlfriend's birthday all planned out. Well, almost. There is one point where he doesn't know what he's going to do. This is what he has so far:

Wake her up a 7:30 in the morning; give her 30 seconds to grab anything she needs then take her out to breakfast. After breakfast he's going to take her back home so she can get cleaned up, take a shower, and all that good stuff. Breakfast will probably take an hour so she should be ready by 11am. Then, he doesn't know where he's going to take her. But, at 5pm or 6pm he's taking her to an early dinner where he's giving her her gift. After dinner, at 7pm he's taking her to his fav. local band's show who she's gotten pretty interested in. After their show, him and his band are going on stage and sing her 2 fav. songs to her; Vindicated by Dashboard and Hanging by a moment by Life house. All of that should be over at about 10 or 10:30pm. When it's over, he'll take her to her house where all her friends are waiting for her. We’re gonna party it up through the rest of the night and may be a lil into the morning ;).

But anyway, he still needs to figure out what he's going to do with her from 11am to 5 pm. That's about 6 hours lol. I want to tell him to take her to an amusement park but I don't know if 6 hours will be enough for that. Any suggestions?

Holy crap. That is too much. If he's up for it, you could take her to a couple's spa to relax. She is going to need down time if he is getting her up at 7:30 and home at 10:30. I don't care how young she is. Even a nice quiet picnic or a canoe trip (be sure he has extra suntan lotion in case she didn't think about it). Think relaxing whatever it is. Or a short easy hike (tell her to wear high socks and shoes. Let her know that she will be out for the day so that she can have an extra outfit for the evening. (Or take her shopping).

I don't think he is going to get her to forgo the shower before breakfast. No matter what. So be prepared. Tell her she has 10 minutes. That would be a lot more generous.

Whatever you do. Let her sleep in the next day.

I'm going to the beach in a week and I understand that when you shave your legs, it stings really bad once you get in the ocean. Does Nair sting? If so, are there any other alternatives?

You would have to have freshly shaved your legs for it to be a problem. If its bugging you, slap on some aloe. (without alcohol)

My BF and I have been going out for a month. And we kiss and W/E outside of school, but past couple of days we have been doing little kisses after 4th. we both feel kinda uncomfortable cause all my friends go AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW really loudly n obviously when we do and its really annoying! i've told them to stop but they dont! have can i make them?! i rate ^^

Option 1: Hide waterguns in your pocket. The next time they do that, mutually open fire.
Option 2: Ignore the brats.

my best friend has a girlfriend and i'm not use to him having a girlfriend .I keep geting pissed off i try not to show it but ,my friend cobly can tell when i look away or don't speak to any one . She (joc) asked me if i would get mad if they went out and i said no i was lying it does ,and we went to the movies the other day he begged me to go becasue his girlfriend couldn't go unless i did. So i went and his brother went his brother is about 16 almost 17. And we well we just started making out and tyler got mad ..and i don't know why i didn't say anything when him and his girlfriend kiss or hug or do that kinda stuff ..i don't know what to do know and oppitons ?

There could be a few things going on here. He might have been shocked that you were making out with someone you barely knew. Or he could actually be jealous. I would ignore his protests until he dumps his girlfriend if you are wanting to date him. Why don't you ask him what is his deal? And you might come clean about the fact that you are a little bit jealous too.

(I wasnt quite sure where to place this question, so I just chose here)
I have been dating a guy for about a month and a half now, and he is about to graduate from highschool. We dont know eachother very well, which is why I am about to ask this. I got invited to his graduation party, which is a bit less than a month away now. Problem is, I have absolutly no idea what to do for a gift. I dont know what types of things you get for someone who is graduating, this is the first time I've had to deal with having to get a graduation gift. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!

Money. You need bunches of it to go to college. It can be a little or a lot stuck in a card. It's what I got, and I really appreciated it.

my period is coming up real soon, and every single one of my friends have told me that tampons work wonders. (by the way i have only had my period once before and im 13) but my mom thinks im not ready, and i feel ready, i have tried one of my mom's tampons, there regular, and i got it in like half way, and i asked her for the beginners teen easy slide ones, and she claims that i am to young to start it, and 2 of my best friends already started putting tampons in by there 3rd period. can someone one give me advice on if i am to young? or jus keep practicing with my moms? ill rate

I think your mom is probably more concerned about toxic shock syndrome. Tampons can only stay in a certain number of hours before this happens. So you shouldn't sleep in them for example. And your period tends to be irregular for the first few times. You are supposed to use the right tampon for the right level of flow.
Using a tampon has nothing to do with having sex other than it would break your hymen. Which isn't a big deal. This is probably why it's hard to use your mom's tampon.

i have these HUGE addiction to coffee and diet coke. it'd be ok if i wasn't 14! i think i'm not growing as much because of it, but i need the morning shot to make me awake. i need to be taller but i also need my drinks! help?

Drink less and less of it every day and replace it with water or something without much sugar or caffeine. When you finally taper off, you will still get a headache, but it will be gone in a few days. Water can actually keep you up because eventually you have to dispose of it.

Ok My Boyfriend Of one week and one day completely hurt me today on the bus he didn't sit with me and he usually does and when I aksed him about it he said I don't know why I didn't sit with you and then I asked why he didn't call because the day before he said he would call at 7:30 and didn't and he said I was playing soccer and he told my friend my hands were cold which I don't know if that is true and he told my guyfriend I was shy I mean how I am shy if I talk maybe nervously but I talk and I held his hand and today as I got off the bus I didn't tell him bye like usual because I didn't know what was wrong and I came home pratically in tears PS before we were going out he squeezed my butt tried to touch my boobs ETC I am confused whats wrong and how can I make it right sorry it was long PS my uncle told me to play hard to get even if he is my BF would this work I mean maybe he doesn't like me saying are you mad at me ETC maybe I should back off and let him come to me not talk to him for a few days








I would encourage you to have something to do as well. Don't pester him about why he didn't call. Maybe accentuate the fact that you missed him sitting by you on the bus. Not why didn't you because its more accusatory and doesn't tell him that you enjoy his company, but are desperate for attention.
And if your hands are cold, rub them together before you hold his hand. Lots of people's hands are cold. Cold hands, warm heart.
You are just insecure. Show him you can live without him and he'll be back. Sounds like he just wanted to touch you to see if you were real.

yeah i know..well i just asked him..and he said he'll think about it i have to use up my mins till i get a new phone..so i gotta figure a way to get rid of 67 mins..he said it should b gone in another 6 weeks or so...since i had 122 when i started back in mid- march..n the most ill have to pay is prob all for the phone..and nothing else till i get a job most likely..not sure..thx anyways

67 minutes would be about 7-10 minute conversations. It sounds like you have been pretty good about keeping track of your time. Just hope for the best.

im looking for some help/advice as to why i always have to buy things in large amounts. for example i cant buy just one pen i have to get 4 or 5 at a time its the same with everything. if i go to a store to buy one thing i buy at least 5-6 things that i dont really need but buy anyway. any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Write down a list and stick to it. Keep telling yourself you are going to only buy things on that list. Don't go when you are anxious or in a hurry because that makes it worse. Especially don't go to the grocery store hungry. If you find something you think you want that isn't on the list, tell yourself that you might get it next time if you still want it. Sometime you want it really bad and sometimes you forget. Then put it on the next list.
It takes a little discipline, but if you only have a certain amount of money to make it through a week, it becomes easier.

I know this is long but please bare with me, here. I think it's a pretty simply thing, but I am not sure so I am asking. I don't know what to put this under..so the closest I could get was under families.

Anyways, in mid- March my dad had got a Nokia 6015i with a Verizon plan for him and my mom. He gave me his Nokia 1100 phone, which is pre-paid and I like it and all. I want a LG VX6100, I asked if I could be part of the plan as well, since I can basically have my own phone line on the weekends and all, because of the free nights and weekends. I can't use the cell I have now because it's pre-paid and I am only suppose to use it for emergencis (sp?) , or if I am outside or they can't find me in Wal*Mart or somthing. I think you get the idea. My dad said he would think about it.

My question is if I paid for the phone it self with my birthday money since it was back in late March and I stil have about 80 bucks in checks that need to be cashed. Could my dad put me in the plan? and will it make a difference in the bill plan my parents have? or no?..-Thanks in advance to those who answer

Here's the deal. You need to show that you know how to responsibly use your phone. You have to keep up with the minutes if you are going on his plan. He may be testing you with the prepaid one. Because if it runs out of minutes too fast, it will be obvious as to whether you are obeying the rules or not. You may have 80 buck now, but you need at least 40 bucks every month for as long as you have a contract. It will make a small difference in their plan most of the time, but some have pooled minutes.

I am 27 years old 3 kids and maried for almost 10 years.Ok this is the situation my ex from bak middle school is good frien with my sister and myself.WE started talking or a little bit like friens thats all.Even though i think he still cares for me more than just a friend.Now this the problem my huban found out that h calls me and we talked,and he thinks tht i hav somenthing going on with him.I try to explain him that nothing like that that we are just friends an he not understanding.He even thinking divorce because he thinks that i have somenthing mor than
just friend.I need help.Ihave tryed to explained him that it i nothing like that,that i will never o suh thing.He does not believe me.What could i do to making understand that love him an that he means the world to me.PLEASE HELP!


Have you introduced your husband to your friend? If you weren't keeping it a secret, it would not be perceived as a betrayal. Tell your husband that you are sorry that you didn't say what was going on and that you are breaking off contact.

I would highly encourage some one on one time between you and your husband to remind him of why you are married. Take the kids to the sitters and do something fun and romantic. Hopefully, your husband will forgive you and it will all blow over.

I wish this didn't mean that you wouldn't lose your friend, but isn't your family a little more important?

for english i have to gather information on adolf eichmann (involving the holocaust) and make a 5 minute presentation in front of the class with it. Its not the nervousness im worried about, its the fact that i cant bring cards or a speech up to read from..i have to know the information enough to talk to the class about it ..for five minutes! thats a long time. we can use the aid of a visual, but my teacher doesnt want us to just stick pictures on posterboard..she wants us to be more creative. Any ideas on what i can do?

Powerpoint? Eichmann the game? A short film with characters acting out a scene that might have happened under Eichmann? Someone posing as Eichmann being interviewed by a modern day reporter? Start thinking out of the box. Good luck.

15/f- I want to go on the birth control pills called Seasonale because they give you a longer cycle so that you have fewer periods a year, who wouldn't want that, right? well...my mom won't let me get them because she says i'm too young...and then she started giving me excuses such as "the doctor doesn't perscribe birth control unless you're sexually active" well...if i were sexually active, wouldn't i have wanted the pills BEFOREHAND anyway??? and i was under the impression that sometimes birth control is percribed to those with irregular periods to help regulate them. so, was my mom correct? and if she wasn't, how can i convince her to let me get seasonale? thanks!

Pills are a drug, and every drug has side affects. Going on the pill just to make it more convenient for you isn't a good idea. If you truly have problems with an irregular period and have had your period for more than a few years, then it might be a good idea.
And yeah if you were sexually active, you would want to be on the pills months beforehand. Pills are also very expensive and not always covered by insurance.
So your mom doesn't want you on the pill, and I think she is right about that. You are a bit young to be both on the pill and/or sexually active. She wants what is best for you even if you don't agree.

I sprang my ankle today...the pain is worse now then it was when it first happened....what are some things i can do to make the pain go down..i took some painkillers and put ice on it...and i have one of those wrap things to wear to school tomorrow but what can i do to make the pain go down...because even with the pain killers it still hurts very bad...
Thanks

You really need to see a doctor about it. You could need to do more than just ice and painkillers. Ice is your friend. Elevating your foot is a good idea too.
