im 13/f, how can i make some extra money for back to school shopping besides babysitting? (link)
|
hey.
First , you could organize a car -wash in your neighborhood, you could start a small dog-walking buissness, you could do it the old-fashon way and sell cookies or lemonade. You could try mowing lawns. But there are alot more jobs and you could do all of the above. JUST KIDDING (but you would make some big bucks:)) For the prices you could have, lemonade, 50cents, mowing lawns, $5.00 per. lawn. car washes, $5.00 a car. the dog walkin, $1.00 a mile,(or like 50cents small dogs, $1.00 med. and 1.50 for a large dog) or selling cookies at a dollar a bag (put like 5 cookies in a bag, homemade though)

Sorry, it's long but please read anyways!
Okay, so in 8th grade, I met some of the best friends I've ever had, and in was in 7th that I met my very bestest friend in the world wide world. Basically, 8th grade was like the year we knew who we were friends with and we loved each other and were crazy and it just felt like one big party. (drama included) Not trying to brag or anything, but I had ALOT of friends. I could go to like 5 different groups of friends and fit in perfectly.
The problem? I'm going into high school next year and everyone has said that you will loose alot of your friends from middle school. This is almost definitely going to happen especialy because we are like all really different. I really want us all to stay friends. It's almost as if I can't imagine life without my friends. I know I'll make new friends and everything but does anybody have any suggestions of how I can stay in touch will them and not loose them completely?
By the way, I am pretty busy after school with cross country and horseback riding and stuff.
Oh and please do not say "if they are your true friends, you wil find a way" because I just want suggestions. Thanks! (link)

hi.
ok so the problem is that you dont want to loose your friends?? Seriusly, even though you dont want me to say this i will, true BFF's will find a way. I have a best friend since kindergarden, and one from pre-k, nad we have stayed friends for almost 6 years and gotten into like one fight. BUT you could have little get-togethers and call eachother alot, or if you and them have IM screen names then you could all talk to eachother. I know this suggestion stinks but i really think that maybe you could (MAYBE) form a little club or somethin. My ratings have been really low lately and i'm thinking my hardest so please try this!!! I might just delete myself if i dont get a good rate!!! :'(

my dog just died today. she got hit by a car. my dad was really close to her. everyone is so upset. i cried, i also felt really bad because when i would get mad at brittany (dog) i would yell at her and tell her i hope she died. but it seems that everyone is more upset then me. is there any way that i can get them to calm down?i know this is tragic but we cant all go crazy. everyone has a time when they died.
love kayla (link)

Hi.
Try to find another dog that was like Brittany and see how your family reacts. I'm not saying get a new dog to compare the dog to Brittany, just get your family a new four-legged- friend;) I'm truely sorry about what happend.

I lose my temper a lot when i am babysitting. I am making good money, but this girl is so annoying. I dont get that mean, but I just want to tell her to SHUT UP. I try to be nice and act interested in what she is saying, but she drives me crazy!
Does that make me a bad babysitter? (link)
|
Heyy.
No it does NOT!!!!!! But you could report to her parents about it and maybe see what they say. Try calming her down by (MAYBE) playing a game of go-fish or a kids board game. Stay calm and just dont loose your cool. (i've lost my cool a few times and there were serius consequences.)

this is REALLY long...sorry
I like this guy named Kevin, and i have for a while.
i have liked other guys, and had a boyfriend, but always had a crush on this guy.
We are pretty good friends, and we are coworkers
one day while working, i was like "hey, kevin, did you know i used to like you?"
and i said that because i didnt relize until a few days later i actually still liked him, its kinda a long story...
anyway, his jaw like, dropped, and i ended up asking him if he ever liked me, and after a really long and confusing answer, he was like "yeah, i did, it happened, its done" or soemthing like that.
So, i ended up telling him a few days later i still liked him, and he was like "okay" cause i kinda told him in this note i wrote him lol.
i was talking to him online, and i asked him what he liked about me before
he said " i dont know really, a lot of things, your looks were one of the things i'm sure...and the fact i can talk to you and it not be akward at all...that and a lot of other things"
so i said "okay, so what happened? my looks went bad and you cant talk to me"
and he said "no, i just cant trust you"
a few months ago, we made out, andi told a few friends, someone over heard, told a bunch of people, and too many people found out.
and someone told him i said he was a terrible kisser, plus,i have a fear of making out with guys with braces because i cut my tounge on this guys ones...
so thats what he means by he cant trust me...he says i critizes him too much because he still thinks i said he was bad, and because of the braces thing.
so, i flirt with him a lot, and he flirts back, and yet he says he doesnt like me anymore because of the trust thing...
then today, i was flirting with a lifegaurd at work (we allwork at the pool) and he got really pissed off
he was like "this is what i mean by the trust thing"
and i was like "you made it clear you dont like me, why do you care?"
and he said"because, if you really liked me, you wouldnt do that"
there was a lot more, and much more back story, but here is the question:
should i just try and gain his trust back somehow, and not flirt with anyother guys, and just focus on Kevin?
or should i tell him that since he says he doesnt like me, i dont want to be pressed on him all summer if there is no chance? (link)
| |
I think that if there is no chance then why bother???? If he doesn't like you OR trust you then why bother to still like him? If you REALLY like the other life-gaurd then go for him instedad of Kevin. But if think you should still like him then go right ahead, if you still like him then why were you asking me??? (lol)

does the scar stay on forever.because I poped a white pimple on my face and this white stuff came out and the pimple turned redder and the scar started going away little by little then it just stayed there... (link)
|
hi.
No. The scar may stay a couple of weeks (possibly a month) but you could try rubbing a type of scar medicine (maderma for kids or whatever) and then if the white stuff comes out again ask youer doctor about it.

is it safe to give my dog frosted flakes or cheerios? (link)
|
Hi.
You can give a dog cherrios (not honey nut cherrios but, plain) but i wouldnt try frosted flakes because they are flavored and have lots of sugar which probably isnt the best choice. But try to stick them on dog food because if you keep on giving them people food then they wont eat their dog food, so people food for people and doggie food for doggies
THANKS for asking!

I have two cats that are a little over a year old. a while ago one of cats have started peeing and pooing right outside the litter box. (they are indoor cats).
my question is, can you train a cat to go in the litter box even though they are over a year old? And if you can. How do you train them. I got my cats after they had been trained by another lady.
thanks for the help. (link)
| |
I would suggest getting another litter box for the cat that was pooping and peeing outside the box. Cats like their own territory, so getting another litter box would probably be the best choice.

How can I, a female under the age of 16, help abused, neglected, homeless, etc. animals? Every shelter that I;ve heard of requires you to be 16 to voulunteer and I cannot adopt another pet. (I've asked, pleaded, begged). I'm thinking of raising money or donating supplies and setting up boxes at random places around my community (continue with what my girl scout troop started) Any advice or suggestions? (link)
| |
i am also under the age of 16. i LOVE animals too. You can't volenteer there but you can always donate old blankets, boxes and dog food to the SPCA or have a fund raiser and donate the money to the SPCA. I love what your doing and think you and you are doing a great job.

Ok i am a 15 yr. old female who loves to be active. I usually run cross country but i decided that i would take a year off. But i have realized that i am gaining a little bit of weight and i don't like that. I am used to being quite thin. I play soccer and i would like to improve my skills there. But going out and playing soccer all day isn't going to cut it. I also have a short attention span. I do 250 crunches/situps every night. What would be an appropriate workout for me to do everyday. Something else i need to keep in mind is i have to work part time. (link)
|
Go to your local gym and see if you could get in a quick workout everyday. If not jog around your block everyday(at least try to)ond and most likely you'll lose all that xtra weight
|
Okay like over a year ago i taped all these pictures on my wall like 200 or so.. && i took them off && the wall looks awful..Painting isn`t an option && i don`t know what to do && to put those pictures back up would take a LONG time. I don`t really have money for posters.. So if you have any ideas please help.. Its horrible && i hate it..I doubt theres much to do but i just thought i`d give it a shot;;
ALso i have tons && tons of construction paper maybe i can put that up && then like draw or write on it..I can do grafitti good so maybe that would be okay.. (link)

I know your proplem I did the same thing a few years a go. What I did was take a buttiton board up you ca usually get a bulliton board at stores like walmart and target (or other stores like that). Usually bulliton boards are inexpensize.

I've been looking for a chihuahua for about a month now. I've finally found a breeder and picked out my puppy. I picked out a girl and she's white with light brown specks here and there. She's so beautiful but I cannot pick out a name. I'm picking her up in about a week and I need a name for her. I just can't pick one out. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. (link)
|
HI!!
I think that you should name her, Bella. Bella is a beautiful name and i think it fits the colors perfectly :)
|
I just asked a question earlier today about my white & light brown chihuahua. Here are the two names I have chosen.
1. Princess
2. Isabella (Bella for short)
What do you guys think? 1 or 2? (link)
|
hi.
I think 2. Princess is for those over-pampered dogs that are always snippy. No offence but i really think Bella is the best. :)
|
This may sound silly but, I just got a new hamster.. He is black and has a white line on his tummy. I was just wondering if anyone has any cute names for a black boy hamster that are unique.
Thankz! :) (link)

Hey!
I think you should name him Pepe ( like pepe la pu) and i dont think its that silly. :)

My son has a goldfish that he won at a carnival last year. It lives in one of those 1 gallon tanks that has a filter. Suprisingly, this fish has almost doubled in size and is doing very well!
My question is, we are going on vacation for 7 days and I don't want him to starve...
I saw one of those automatic pyramid fish feeders at the store. Do those work? It says on the package that it feeds up to 20 fish in a larger tank...would it be overkill if I put that in his tank?
(link)
|
Hey!
The automatic filters DO NOT WORK. Me and my family went on vacation for 5 days and asked the neighbors kids to come earn a few bucks and come to feed our cat. The first person was also going on vacation but since there are alot of teens then we asked our moms friends kids and they earned a couple bucks feeding the cat.
SO dont waste your money on the 'automatic fissh feediers' and just hire a kid from the sreet to come feed the fish in the morning and at night. Everything should work out.

I have a friend she does nothing but drag me down and talk about my other friends. How do I tell her I don't won't to be her friend anymore? (link)
|
You go to her and tell her that if shes going to drag you down, talk dirty about your friends then apparently, shes not your friend. Simply say, "Talking about the people you know are my friends and always draging me down is reallly getting me mad so i guess we arent going to be friends." And if sh tries to argue then walk away.
Thanks for asking!

1)okay so this girl first asks for my email add then my phone number,then one day i waved at her in school and she was absolutely shy and looked down the whole time.Now we are talking on msn.so does she like me?or is she just naturally shy and wants to be just friends?
2)But what i don't get about girls is that you know how some girls are outgoing and super friendly?So she may talk to you a lot and like you or maybe just talk to you cause she is just being friendly to you as she is to the other guys.So is their a way to know?I mean,if a girl talks to a guy a lot,does that mean that she's interested in him?cause it doesn't really make any sense for a girl to talk a lot to a guy since girls mostly mix with girls and vice versa, plus girls mostly talk about girls stuff which guys know nothing of,unless he's gay. (link)

Hi.
Being a girl i know about well, girls. Lots of girls i know talk more about what they did over summer then make-up. If the girl asks you for your e-mail and your number she might like you but she might just want to be friends and is being friendly. You can tell if a girl likes you if shes really shy around you and whispers with her friends and smilies at you. You can also tell if a girl likes you if, while shes talking to you, shes doing lots of hand motions. But this paticular girl i think just wants to be friends.
