are farts and burps the same except different ways of expelling gas? but people think farts still grosser bc they come from the butt. is this true?

Yeah they are the same, just out of different places ;]

And people can say it's disgusting, and as true as that may be, every human does it. We all poop, pee, burp, fart, etc. HAHA! =]

what objects should i keep credit cards away from? to prevent it from being demagnetized? i think cell phones are one right?

I would say magnets, but I would hope that was an obvious one ;]

Pretty much anything that has a small amount of radiation, like cell phones, microwaves, radios, toasters, etc.

do sweatshops produce converses and nikes? would i be a bad person if bought converse shoes? everyone has them but i dunno

Yes sweatshops produce converse and nike.

Look at it this way:

Shoes [not the expensive ones] are a necessity. You need to have them to go places. Sure, you can buy from other companies, but really it doesn't matter. It's not like you're the one forcing the people into labor.

i am SO confused rite now.
so this kid told my frend he likes me, and he flirts w/ me a lot. but then his cousin met me & hes askin me out now. i really do not know what to do. HELP!

You know you don't have to date either of them unless you want to. But I certainly wouldn't date his cousin if you just met him.

If you had to chose, chose the first guy ;]

What does it mean when a guy always looks you in the eye every time he talks to you, he always sitts by you at lunch and he agrees with whatever you say?

He's definitely interested. It's not love, however.

Here's some other ways that guys show they are interested:

1. They don't call you "sexy". They call you "beautiful", "gorgeous", "amazing", etc.

2. They make an effort to hug you. They might high-5 instead, but it really depends on the guy in question.

3. They DO find any reason to touch you in some way. Mostly it ISN'T in a sexual way. Its more of just an excuse to remember what you feel like, I guess. Its hard to explain...

4. He is always smiling around you. If you're feeling bad and he's around- he'll be smiling because he knows that he's there to help you- and that's like brownie points for a guy if they can help a girl out. That, like the above, is hard to explain.

5. He'll tell you things about himself that he normally wouldn't tell everyone. He opens up to you. Guys don't get a chance to do that when pressured to "be manly".

6. If you have a feeling that a guy likes you- you're probably right. Guys aren't the best at hiding it- and girls are even better at figuring these type of things out.

I will be 14 on Septemeber 29th and he is 15.

Alrighty, well, I went out with this guy and we were madly in love then he began to like another girl so he broke it off & dated her, he said he still liked me then...So they just broke up a few days ago & I want to pursue a relationship with him again.I know to give him some time, which I still am.

We are going to go swimming together soon, and I want to know what to say to him, how to ask him if he still likes me ext ext...

I'm thinking about just asking him over MSN because he might be more honest, but I'm not sure...

Asking on MSN is like taking the easy way out. No offense but it's a bit cowardice. If you want to show him that you're a confident person, asking him in person, just in general conversation, will give you better results. He'll see you're brave enough to ask him in person, but like you said, I would give it time. Maybe not ask him this time but next time?

Does anyone have any home remedies that you can make at home. For example, acne remedies, something to make your hair softer, something to clean under your nails, etc.

Thanks!

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=507367

There's a long list of home remedies for acne. I don't know about anything for getting your hair softer or cleaning under your nails.

Alright I normally never ask for help nor advice or opinions. I met this guy and we have only been datin for a short time.issues came up to where he would have to leave where we live now to go to arkansas an i didnt want him to go so i offered him to live with me we did agree it was soon but neither one of us wanted him to go he talked to his dad and decided to stay..

anyways to the point.

My question is how do i really know if he is happy staying here?

Well based on what you've said, I can conclude that we have no idea what he's thinking.

If he made the choice to stay mostly without your persuasion, it may mean he's happy to be staying there.

If he was dead-set against it, and you persuaded him, he might be happy, but he could be upset about being there away from his dad.

If you really want the truth, ask him. That's really all you can do because we, like laura said, are not psychics.

(i used to live in the same state, but my parents couldn't pay the house anymore so we moved) but i have been staying at my uncle's this summer. anyways, what are some songs i can leave her telling her that i will never forget this summer and that i will miss her when i'm gone? i prefer something soft. no loud guitars or screaming or anything like that.

thanks in advance!

Laura below me took a lot of my suggestions ;]

But here's a few and I'm sorry if there are repeats!

"So Much Love" -The Rocket Summer
"I Need You" -Relient K
"Must Have Done Something Right" -Relient K
"Run To You" -The Rocket Summer
"The Best Thing" -Relient K
"I'm Taking You With Me" -Relient K
"My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend" -Relient K
"Getting Into You" -Relient K
"You'll Always Be My Best Friend" -Relient K
"At Least We Made It This Far" -Relient K
"Nothing Without You" -Relient K
"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" -Relient K

And basically anything by Maroon 5. Those are all love songs. =]


Yes, I realize this is only from three bands, but they are the most amazing ever. I promise you'll love them =]. These are soft rock, generally.

Hey,
Can you please help me if you know any of this [4 questions]. i'll probably read this right before school tomarrow. My test is on domain, range, translations[i get most of that]. and it's on functions like f(g)=, g(f)=,f(f)=, g(g)=. and it is on getting the inverse of functions. alright i need help with the following:
heres an example:
find the inverse.
f(x)= 2-x/3+x
i got -3/2x, and if that's right, how do i check it because i need to know that for the test.
also i have an algerbra question:
how do you divide 2/(3/4). it's like a fraction in a fraction. i tryed to solve that and got 8/3.
okay, and if lets say we have f(x)=1/(x+2).
how do you translate the numerator onto a graph? [logically explain please]
and now one more question.
okay, let f(x)=
1+x x

I took Pre-Calc last year, but I barely remember most of what you're asking.

To find the inverse of a function, you have to solve for x. So you get x alone.

Take the (3+x) and multiply it by the "y". In other words, take it to the other side.

Then you get "y(x+3)= (2-x)"

Then multiply the y(x+3) out, and you get
xy+3y= (2-x)

Then send the"-x" over to the other side, along with the 3y.

And at that point, you have:

xy+x= 2-3y

Then factor the left side, and you should get...

x(y+1)= 2-3y


Then divide both sides by (y+1) and you get..

x= (2-3y)/(y+1)

i am 20 years old and i have never madeout with a guy and i am still a virgin and everything. I have kissed a guy but no tongue action. ITs not that i am ugly or anything, it`s just because i havn`t really found anyone or whatever. Sometimes i am kind of embarrased because i never have but do u think guys care if i am a virgin or whatever or do they prefer that because then i am sort of like untouched or do they think that i am a loser because i am still a virgin at 20 and still never madeout with anyone???
Plz Help. Thanks!

Let me put it this way:

The guys that matter will find that to be the biggest turn on.

The guys that don't matter will call you a prude and never talk to you again.

Don't change yourself just to get a guy.

Personally, I find that rather attractive ;]

well im no lesbian but me and my friend are quite bisexual.
so I was wondering if I can get an std from her.
like idk if she has anything but I know that when she had sex recently she let the guy cum in her.
&& all we did was like
-makeout
-finger
-eat out
-69
so any possible way?
anything will help.
please and thank you.

Any time you engage in any sexual activity, your risk spreading STDs.

Please be safe from now on.

how do you get people to ask you questions?



thanks:)

Well if your whore yourself on here, that will get you banned.

But...

If you answer a lot of pool questions [those asked to everyone] like me, you'll be seen more frequently and people will start to notice you.

Don't just answer the same questions over and over. Step out of the box and try to help people you might not normally help. But that doesn't mean answer questions with "I don't know! lol Hope I helped!". It means if you put forth an effort, people will notice that.

Okay. Since apparently you're smart and and actually care about your school work, I thought I use a second opinion.

I'm going to be a senior this year, and I was supposed to get AP calculus with a very hard teacher, Koski. But, the counselor made an error and gave me statistics instead. Now statistics is an extremely easy class and I can certainly pass it with flying colors. But, I dont know whether I should change it to cal. You see, I can risk my GPA and actually get koski's class. Or I can take this as a sign and just stay with the schedule I have. After all, isnt senior year suppose to be the best year of hight school?

College has nothing to do with the reason why I wanted the calculus class. I already have a university close to home paid for, one which I am being forced to go to. This would only be for my personal gain, to reassure myself that I can do it. So my question is, should I take this AP class (along with the AP english that I already have) or should I just relax and take things as they are?

If you want a challenge, take Calc. Sometimes taking the easy route isn't best. There isn't much more to my explanation.

I'm taking AP Calc this year, so maybe if you need help, if that's what you're worried about, you can come to me ;]

Thanks for inboxing me ;]

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for about a year and a half.
me-17 female
him-17 male

i want a guys opinion prefurably.
im completely in love with my boyfriend this has been the most amazing time of my life being with him. I wanted to get him the most amazing ring in my eyes. i would die for one of these well not literally but anyway.
a promise ring the Claddagh ring!
its amazing.
i want to give him this promise ring just telling him that i will always love him and be his forever.

my question is for guys or i guess girls if you guys got that ring would you like it and wear it?
and what would you want it to look like size wise and everything please give me links to pictures or something.

he doesnt normally wear rings or jewerly.

If he doesn't normally wear rings or jewelry, he probably wouldn't like it. The only rings I will ever wear are class rings [high school and/or college and my wedding ring].

Ask him if he would like it- but generally, the Claddagh is for girls unless you're Irish.

I'm not sexually active. By the way. I'm fifteen..
But recently, and this is so embarrassing haha but, I found these bumps just above where my vagina starts. Like, in the pubic hair "region". They looked like whiteheads so my first instinct was to pop them, and when I did they popped just like a zit.
It wasn't really near my vagina, if it was I wouldn't have tried popping them. It was like in the middle of my pubic hair.
I'm not sexually active, so what could these possibly be?

Hmm. Do you shave in that region? If you do it might be because of that.

If not, well I'm not really sure, and none of us can really diagnose you.

I suggest you go see your doctor about it. It could be nothing at all, but it could also be something serious.

Heyy my boyfriends birthday is in september and i pretty much have it all planned out.

I'm gonna give him a $50 gift card to Hollister (it's pretty much all he wears)
And i'm gonna get him some chocolate covered pretzles cause i know they're his favorite.
Then I want to take him to south street in philly cause it's his favorite place, and while there I can take him to go get a philly cheese steak cause that's his favorite food!

Do you think this sounds good?
I would LOVE to hear your ideas and suggestions!
Thanks everyone!

Sounds perfect to me. If those are the things he loves, he'll really enjoy it ;]

And food is always a plus =]

Im a normal 17 yr old girl. I know rape is wrong, and I would never want to be raped, but I have recurring sexual fantasies about being raped or beaten during a sexual experience. I most certainly don't want that hapening in real life, but I continually have these fantasies which turn me on. I am worried that I am "sick" or weird. Are these types of fantasies normal?

What is normal to me is not necessarily normal to you. To me, it's not really normal, but I can accept the fact that we are all human beings and we are all flawed.

If you think it's wrong, then direct your thoughts somewhere else. If you don't think it's wrong, since it's just thoughts, well then be as you are.

I'm 16/female.

I have an amazing boyfriend with some serious trust issues! Every time I turn around he's moping around telling me not to ever talk to another guy, even if I don't even talk to them! Last year and now recently I've fallen hard for this one guy from Band. He's a total sweetie, but I have problems talking to him in person.

What do you think I should do?
I really don't know what exactly I need help with...
I just want to know if you were in the position, what would you do?

:/

If your boyfriend is being really controlling of you, and you've talked to him about it, I would just dump him.

You shouldn't feel like you're married when you're a teenager. Sure, you shouldn't just go around and play the field either, but if your boyfriend is completely against you talking to any guy whatsoever, well that's just wrong.
