Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

There is this great book out called the fat to muscle diet, it is old, and in paperback. You can probably find it on amazon for a $1.00 or so. In it is excellent advice about nutrition and many recipies. Basically, in order to loose weight and get healthy, your meals should be well balanced. Yours and your mom's I mean. There should be some protein, carb, vegetables, fruit and fat in each meal. Protein being most important because that will "stick with you" and keep you from getting hungry between meals. Proteins are eggs, meat, chicken fish, stuff like that. You can get protein from vegetables and legumes like beans, soy, hemp powder and whey poweder, a dairy product.) A woman should eat at least 6 oz of protein per meal. About the size of a deck of cards. (chicken, meat, fish) one small serving of a carb like rice or potato, and as much vegatables as you like, two cups is even ok, and if still hungry, some fruit, and for a fat, you could use the salad dressing, or saute (fry) the veggies in some olive oil. Use as much spices as you like for flavor. AVOID fried foods, processes foods, baked goods, candy, and especially soda. Drink water, lots of water.
Then get your mom some "dancin to the oldies videos by Richard Simmons. He has helped many many very very overweight women find the courage they need to keep moving. Any kind of movement, even waving her arms, for a woman your mothers size, is an improvement. Anything. Just spend 30 minitues a day doing it, and I guarantee, it gets easier every day. she can work out at home in front of the TV with a DVD. there are lots of them, and some are easier than others. I really like DanceXFitness with Kenn Kihiu, but your mom is not ready for that just yet. In time though, I highly recommend it.
You are a great kid for being so concerned and wanting to help. She does need your help. Don't give up. You can both accomplish this. Encouragement works best.
Good luck to both of you.

I have recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis back in April of this year. I presume this has been going on since I was about thirteen. I have a horrific time focusing in school, and my grades show that. I'm going to be a senior this upcoming school year. I used to get B averages, but since the start of my junior year I'm down to C's and D's in my core subjects. On the other end of the spectrum, I do beautifully in electives as my lowest elective grade was a 96.
It's a little late to get educational help. I feel gypped and I lack anything to blame for it. I am severely disinterested in going to community college. I understand that community schools are not bad schools, however, I just don't think I would be happy going there.
I took the ACT back in June and received a 22, which I'm not exactly gloating over, but I expected to do a lot worse.
Talking to my guidance counselor will get me nowhere - she's not very reliable. My mother went to college in the 70's and pushes the idea that the only criteria for admission is grades, the people you know, and the money you have.
Help is greatly appreciated. :) (link)
|
Not sure I understand your question. Are you saying you would prefer a four year college over a community college? But you are somehow being pushed toward community college because of your low grades?
If that is the question, then here is what I think. Your mom does have a point the criteria to get into college. It is true for most college, but not the ivy leagues ones. The ones that students compete to get into. In those your grades would be a BIG factor. But there a many small private colleges that MAY accept you. You would even have a greater chance of being accepted by one of the state colleges or universities in your state. The cost is much less too. About 1/3 of what it cost to go to a privage college. Of course you still have to be ACCEPTED. And they will take a look at your grades, your academic progress, your extra cirricular activities and stuff like that.
You shouldn't rule out community college completely. One semester there, where you can get a feel for what college is like, and if you get good grades, you can switch to a four year college the next semester, or the next year.
If money is an issue, then doing community college for the first two years will save you and your family thousands, and thousands of $.
HOpe this answers your question.

okay hear is how it goes my father broke him back and his neck when i was younger. he also has sleep app. just this week he has fallen asleep in the kitchen 3 times and hit the floor. he hardly sleeps.. today he was just walking around house like a zombie would walk a few feet then start bending over falling asleep. i told him over and over again to please go lay down and he wouldnt. i dont know what to do. i know hes on meds. my mom divorced him and he and i moved to missouri. where we have no family. he doesnt have many friends. im pregnant and getting married on the 15th. i have been stressed out and this just doesnt help. any ideas? oh yeah and my fiance and i moved back in with my father to save some money. (link)

Your father has not been a good role model or for that matter a good father. he should have exhausted all efforts to find out what was wrong or at least get well enough to function and not become a burden to his daughter. You and your husband to be have to work as hard as you can to move out. If your dad is in pain all the time from his injuries, then he could be addicted to the pain meds. Well I know it is hard but people live in pain every day, and still manage to function. I see a tragedy coming. You can protect him from himself. It is time to get your own life and try not to repeat what he has done, and be a better parent. There is a hard road ahead of you, and you can't be takin' care of him and your baby and your husband and yourself. Your dad has to find his lowest point himself, then climb out on his own. It will mean more.
That is my adivce. But I do wish you and your new family all the best in the world.

ok, so like Ive posted before, my fiance and I are getting married in December.
We already live together, and have all our house furnishings, so i dont see a need to register...
But we would like money from our guests to help pay for the honeymoon.
is there a nice way to put on the invitations that we want money instead of girft?
any help is greatly appreciated.
steph2k10 (link)
|
YOu can register with a travel agent, and ask that they put money towards your honeymoon. They give the travel agent the cash, and get a card or certificate to give to you on the day of your wedding. The travel agent collects the funds and by the time you are done, hopefully your honeymoon is paid for in full.
SO first thing is you have to register with a travel agent, choose your honey moon trip, and then the travel agent should be abel to help you with card inserts you can put in with the invitations.
This is very popular today.
GOod luck and Congratulations!!!!

Do you need medical insurance to use planned parenthood?
20f. (link)
|
No, you do not need medical insurance. They will ask if you have it, because they would like to bill your insurance, but it is not required.
|
|
thanks for the last advice it really helping i can move again =] but I have another question how long will I have to waite to have sex again??? (link)
|
Well, when you absolutely don't feel any more pain or discomfort. If you look and see any kind of scab, then you'll want to hold off longer. Because that is a sign that you are not completely healed yet, and have to wait. You don't want to knock it off and then get a bacterial infection in there. There is a lot of bacteria in that area.
But if you are healthy, then 7 days should be long enough to wait. Good luck

I applied for fafsa online but im not sure i need to do next plus i need to apply for other grants but i dont know y i cant figvre out how to apply foq them n i need to get info on.good grants im.eligible for... i lost my dad at 8 n he was a veteran if that.helps n i had a.heart surgery last year ...so if u could help id?appreciate.it (link)
|
The fafsa form is used for both State and federal grants. For private grants, you can go to a website called fastweb.com. Register there. They will ask you all kinds of questions and your answers will help them find private grants that you may be eligible for. Like your father being a veteran, or your having medical issues. Also, when applying for private grants, many of them have three requirements. One Good Grades, Two, Financial need and 3, volunteer work. So if you have not done any volunteer work yet, I suggest you find some this summer.
Here is another tip. If you apply to attend a State School, rather than a private college. Much of the college costs could be covered by financial aid, public and private grants, and small student loans. It is the private schools that have such high costs, where students graduate with high amounts of college debt. So look into and consider State colleges in YOUR state. Hope this helps.

myself and my boyfriend broke up 3 weeks ago. we had a great relationship for the 8 months we wore a couple,and he left me for his ex cause his ex would not let him see his son who is 4.she cheated on him 9 months ago an they broke up now her boyfriend dumps her an she wanted my fella back he alwayes said no but then she used the child saying if you love your son you will take me back 4him. any way she guilted him an he took her back.but he told me he loves me and is doing it for his son.. but he rings me every day and we meet up as often as we can..when she is not around. or if he can get away.we do NOT have sex or anything like that we talk an kiss an cuddle an he takes me places like for dinner or cinema its like were a couple but wore not he is with her.he says he in love with me an that he loves her like the mother of his child. and he feels the love he has for her is not enough. but he feels he has to give it a chance with her.I keep telling him he is not giving anything a chance if he is seen me two. but he doze not wana stop seen me.when we are alone in his house I alwayes say would you not be worried about her coming home and he says he doz not care about that but if she findes out he wont see his son again..I dont no what is goin on? he is not using me for sex as we dont have sex so its not that but I would like to hear from men on this one two. what is goin on why is he keeping me around?? why doz he call every day and wana see me as much as he can? I believe he loves me but is there more to it?? please help!!!!! (link)

I believe he loves you too dear, but he is being manipulated and well, sorry he put himself in this position. Yes she is using his son to control him, but he is the father of that boy. Wish that we all had childen with people who would not then use those childen to manipulate us. But this has been going on for many many generations. Is he telling the truth to you when he says he loves you and not her? Sure. But they are a family or what passes as a family today, and to that little boy, it is all he has. And of course she has him where she wants him and don't be surprised when you find out that...gee, they are having another baby???? Count on it! And of course he didn't mean it, and he loves you, but he is only human. There will come a time when that little family of his will be torn apart and the child(ren) will suffer.....Don't let yourself be part of it. You won't like yourself for it. We all make choices in our lives. Good ones and bad ones. We can learn from them. But why should a small child, who didn't ask to be born, have to learn from someone else's mistake.
Bottom line.....those two have a bond that will NEVER go away. This child, this boy. No matter that he comes to the realization that she is only manipulating him and he cuts all ties with her and finds someone who is more honest and sincere like yourself....a lot of heartache and pain is going to come down on everyone involved before that happens. Do you want to be a part of that? You may win, but you won't like yourself for it.
He made a mistake in his past by getting this girl, who he does not love, pregnant. He has to pay for that mistake. You don't have to. I know that you are young and all things seem possible, but believe me, this is an impossible dream. Find someone who does not have any baggage. You'll be much happier in the long run. He is NOT the only person that you will ever have these kinds of feelings for.

Really Long. Is this product legit?
http://www.boticaperu.com/cerebrum.htm
other information:
Cerebrum is a combination of plant extracts that have two souyrces of knowledge, the ancient knowledge, and modern scientific findings.
According to such sources as well as testimonials, Cerebrum improves learning capacity, memory, mental brightness, speed of reaction after a stimulation, which are significant factors of the intelligence as a whole.
How it works? well it is a very difficult question and honestly the mechanism isn´t known. But there are findings that give some light on it. For example, is has been found that Black Maca, the main ingredient, reduces the enzime Acetylcholinesterase by 45%. This enzime has the function to cancell acetylcoline, which is a biochemical risponsible for adequate functioning of certain brain capacities.
Its anti stress and anti depression properties help in this matter
Rosemary, another ingredient seems to helps brain irrigation. Carnosic acid, which is found in rosemary, substantially stimulates the activity of Nrf2, promoting the growth of neuritis. Some studies shows memory improvement and brain antiaging activity due to its anti oxidation effect.
Calahuala (also known as Calaguala, Callahuala, Kallawala), increases blood supply to the brain; also increases the electrical impulses in the brain. It seems to protects against brain cell degeneration, and to promote repair of damaged brain
cells.
So it can helps to improve brain skills as weel as to protect it from aging and degenerative illnesses.
It varies from 24 hours to few weeks to feel improvements. It depends on each consumer. In some rare cases some sllepiness can be felt on first weeks of consumption, it may be considered normal. In such a rare case, we suggest to intake only by night time until this effect naturally dissapears.
It has not been extensivelly meassured about ratios of improvements, but 10 - 20% are a reasonable improvement to be normally expected.
Cerebrum is our ultimate product to improve brain functioning, but we are always seeking for new improvements, nothing at this moment yet.
what do you think? (link)
|
This product does not look legitimate to me. I take a lot of vitamins and supplements and herbs. I have never heard of this one. I have hardly heard of the ingredients that are in it. If you want some excellent advice on which food and herb supplements are good for brain function and longevity go to www.earthclinic.com
There is tons of research there and many testimonials on what works.
Hope this helps.

i am 14 and i met this girl at a place i go to hangout we started to talk and were flirting a lot and we were having a lot of fun then after we left we started texting and we got really deep saying that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and i really felt that way i know i could grow old with her but for some reason in the pit of ny stomach i think she is just saying that stuff please help me i don't know wether to take her seriour or what should i confront her and tell her?? please help (link)

I think you have that feeling in the pit of your stomache, because you know that it is way to soon for you two to feel that way about each other. Sure it can be somthing that you both secretly hope will happen, but you are smart enough to realize that it is too soon to KNOW beyond a doubt that you want to spend the rest of your lives together.
Some people have just awful lives, and when they spend some time with a member of the opposite sex, and they experience feelings that they have never felt before it can be WONDERFUL. But true love takes time. (I know, sounds corney, but it's true) That doesn't mean that you two can't get to know each other better. Tell her that you are interested in getting to know her better and that you two can talk about spending the rest of your lives together after you have been together for a while. Tell her that you would like to plan just a week or two ahead, and not much further.
Also, you may not be ready to even go steady with one person exclusively. At this time in your life you should be meeting lots of people and each one should help you to grow and help you to learn about yourself and about what kind of person you do want to spend the rest of your life with. You need to get to know her better. She could have some bad habits that you find intolerable, or a family that will hate you. You never know. Just tell her you want to take the time to get to know her better because you respect her to much to lead her on.
HOpe this makes things a little clearer for you

ok lets say you get pregnant wile on your period. example. you get pregnant on your 3rd out of a 5 day cycle. does your period stop or keep going? (link)
|
When you period finally comes, it means that the egg that was in your uterus, waiting to be fertilized, was not, so now your body needs to shed it and the blood it was storing in preparation for pregnancy. So medically you are NOT SUPPOSED to get pregnant while you have your period. But our bodies are all different and ANYTHING can Happen. And it is possible for your period to continue once you are pregnant, at least for a few days, until your body has created more estrogen, then starts to prepare for pregnancy and childbirth.

I've been seeing this guy for like 6 months and I am sure that I really really love him with all my heart and that he loves me too. About a month and a 1/2 ago, he was put in juvie and it tears me up because I haven't been able to contact him. I've tried, but nothing works. I know I can write him but I don't know the address of where he is and I'm afraid to ask his mom because his sister hates me and I'm afraid she might too. Is there any way I can find the address of the juvie?? I'm a 16 yr old girl. (link)
|
I don't know what state you live in, but in CT, the department of justice has a web page. You can find out which prisons adults are incarcerated in, but most likely they won't give you the name and location of where a certain juvenile is being kept. But the website should give the addresses of all the Juvie locations, then you could just send a letter to him c/o that location. I am sure that he will be happy to hear from you. But please consider that this boy could be headed for a very hard and difficult future, and you will have a lot of heartache if you go along for the ride.

All stories start with "so i met this boy..."
and mine is no different. We met about a month ago I guess...like 3 weeks ago and we've been talking. We've been out a few times, he is the best friend of the guy that is dating my best friend. It works out because we all double date all the time. So we've been on a few dates by ourselves too and I like him a lot u know its like nice hes the kind of guy I'm looking for and he told me Im the kind of girl hes looking for...
At the same time he has a big flaw. He is too conceited. Well deep down he isn't, but that's the attitude he gives off because he's actually really weak inside. (he confessed this so its not like I'm my opinion) So its an ego issue with him he will NOT make advances on a girl that he thinks doesn't like him. At the same time hes the type to get bored with a girl that throws herself at him...its hard. I am the type that will play hard to get, but mostly because I AM hard to get. I don't get into relationships that easily, and I also don't hook up. The thing is I feel like we are stuck because I'm not one to go out and ask him for attention, and he barely texts me because I don't give him too much attention. So we both like each other but are stuck...nothing is happening. We haven't kissed yet or anything and that was because I didn't want to. So what should I do in this situation...
((and please Im not really looking for "maybe you should move on because hes not the guy for you"))
THANKS! =) (link)
|
What is important if you want this relationship to grow is how you make him feel when you are together. You say that he is conceited but that this behavior really masks the fact that inside he feels inadequate. You are correct. That is what conceit is all about. But you sound like a sensible person and I think you see something good in him and worthwhile. The best thing you can do is make him feel important and special when he is with you. (and you can accomplish this without getting intimate) People will forget the things you said and the things you did, but they never forget how you make them feel. And you are right throwing yourself at him is not the answer, to many girls do that, so it is not special and does not make him feel special. You could try asking his advice about something, tell him you value his opinion, (that is a real esteem booster) Tell him you like the way he handled some certain situation. LEt him know you have confidence in him. This is going to make him feel better about himself, and also tell him that you see the best in him. He will gravitate towards you. And he will soon learn that he can be himself around you. That is what makes for long term relationships that become stronger and stronger with time. Don't forget mutual respect. You respect him, but he must also respect you.
Hope this helps

So my boyfriend and I had so ruff sex 2 days ago and nethier of us have anything but now it stings to pee and you can see where i am a little ripped.
how long will it take for this to heal and is there anything I can do to make it stop hurting? (link)
|
Vaseline comes to mind and mostly everyone has that in the house. But to speed up healing, you could try Neosporin, which will also help with the pain because it has the consitency of vaseline. (petroleum jelly) Even better if you have some vitamine E capsuls, break one open and spread on the injured area two to three times per day. And just before bed, and you could wake up with much less irritation. It should heal in three days even if you don't do anything, but if the pain on urination does not clear up in three days, then something else is wrong.

Hello,
Earlier this year my husband's physician recommended that he stop working and go on disability. I am blessed to have a work from home position that is stable and I make $42,000 a year. We have two very young children, and I am 33yrs old. My husband is 11 yrs my senior. In the past we have tried to get life insurance and disablility insurance for him but no one will touch him. In a nut shell, my husband has quit his $55,000yr job and is tryin to make preparations for us to leave the state where we are currently to somewhere cheaper. Sounds like the solution...... except for a few important things. The heart condition my husband has can render him an invalid or worse sudden death. The place he has decided to move does not provide a support system for him if he gets sick, or me if I need help with the children due to his hospitalizations. His twin brother has the same condition so I know how bad it can get. A "house" was provided for us but it will cost nearly $10,000 to make it habitable. I am the only one working and we have limited savings. THe move alone will cost us $3000. I am pissed that my husband made this decision and expects me to be the MAN but he still wants to make all the decsions. Besides, I don't want to leave our home and support system but without him working I cant afford to maintain our home on my income alone. I thought the man I married was the kind that would take care of us no matter what and I have found out that he isn't. He told me that he does not want to work untill he gets sick and I feel like under the circumstances he does not have the luxury to stop. If he does our children will be at risk. Poor neighborhood, bad school system, as well as a mother who is bitter and resentful of their father. I don't know what i should do - My parents have offered that we move in with them but for me, it means ultimately - divorcing my husband because he refused to sacrifice for his family. He accused me of wanting him to work until he dies, and truthfully speaking I think he should work untill he gets sick or they fire him because he cant do it anymore for the sake of the children. (that is what we are supposed to do) I love my husband and I don't want my children to be without him but under this stress and pressure I feel I should leave and start over for the well being of my children and myself.
He does not know I am having the feeling about divorce because I truly dont want that to happen I truly do not know what to do............... (link)

Hi honey,
I feel bad for you, this is a lot of weight on your shoulders and it must not seem fair. But life is not fair.
I am on your side though. Right now YOU are the only source of income. You need to keep that job. The kids need to stay in the home and schools that they have for stability. The kids have to come first. Your husband is being very selfish. He isn't the only person who has been given bad news about his health. He is just the only person who is thinking only of himself. He would be much happier in the long run if he made the sacrifice. But enough of that. He needs to apply so social security disability. It will take a long time and they always turn you down the first year, but he could end up winning and that will be a source of income for you. You need to keep you job. DO you have health insurance? If so there is another good reason to keep you job.
THe other thing you need to look into is the make homes affordable federal act. DO you own your home? if so, then qualifying for this program will lower your mortgage payments for you.
go to www.makinghomeaffordable.gov There is an application there, see if you qualify.
I think if he can refuse to do things, then so can you. This is america, you have rights. REfuse to move. Don't ask for a divorce, just refuse to move and see what he does. How can he manage without you. Don't expose your kids to his miserable mother. Stand up for what is best for the kids. I know it will be hard at first, but in the end he will see that it was the right thing to do.
You can manage. I left my miserable lazy husband, (didn't even have the excuse of being sick) when my kids were 1 and 5. They are now 19 and 23. I made it on my own. And i didn't even make close to 42K when I left him. It is too bad that he is sick. It is no ones fault, but moving to where you don't have the support you need and the financial stability will just make things worse. He just wants to feel sorry for himself. He needs to suck it up.
Here is one other thing, not to bring up bad news. but if he passes on, you will be eligible for social security for the children. That is always the case when a parent dies before the kids are 18 years of age. So that may be some comfort in the future.
And here is one very important point. There is NO WHERE cheaper today. The economy sucks everywhere. That home that has been offered to you does not sound like a bargain. Tell him to go on ahead and fix the place up for you guys and you'll follow. He'll be back in no time.
YOu have to be strong here, because he is not being strong. And by strong that does not mean to feel sorry for him. Sure you can say that it is such a terrible thing to be struck down with poor health, but you have to think of the kids and the future and what is best because he is not thinking straight. I hope you can pull this off. the first step is the hardest. But you sound smart and level headed. You should act on your instincts.
Good luck to you

does eating chocolate make people feel good? personally, it does not do much for me. i dont know if i even get happy doing anything. maybe i have an endorphin dysfunction?? (link)
|
Yes that has been proven, because chocolate has caffine in it, naturally. But it will depend on what kind of chocolate you are eating. You have to eat real chocolate, not something like Hershey's which is mostly sugar.
And try a dark chocolate. That has the most caffine and the best flavor in my opinion.

I really need to wax "down there." I'm soo tired of shaving because it grows back so fast and it's not even efficient at all. When I wear a bikini I have hair sticking out of my bottom and its so ridiculous! I just want it off. And was thinking a Brazilian wax to get everything out. But I'm scared as hell. I got my eyebrows threaded a month ago and I thought that was pretty bad. So I have a few questions:
1. Am I old enough?
2. What should I worry about? Like disease or infection? I'm scared that something bad could happen.
3. How badly does it hurt? Please please describe your experience.
4. Should I just do a bikini wax first and see how that is?
5. Would it be easier to listen to an iPod and blast the music so I don't notice it as much?

Are you going to do this yourself or go to a salon. I would recommend a salon. REally. Don't attempt to do it yourself. Find a salon that specializes in Brazilian waxes. Sure I guess you are old enough, but salon rules change from state to state. If you have too much hair then you have too much hair. Yes it will sting, but it is over in less than a minute. And you'll be so happy with the results. You'll WANT to do it again, and you'll be willing to put up with the pain. And you do get used to it. Your skin becomes less sensative. Brazilian waxes are common and a lot of salon's do them, and a lot of girls would never do without them. There are no long term side effects.

I heard of someone who their boyfriend had cold sores on his mouth and he ate her out. Then one day she saw sores on her vagina and they turned into the STD herpes. Is that true? (link)

Yes I believe that this can happen. Herpes is a virus. It lives in people. the more people the better. The herpes virus will jump at any opportunity to infect a new human being. So be careful.

Okay basically - I have always wanted to go to america.
Everything about it seems so amazing, and so much bigger.
I'm 16, and I am starting a job soon. I am such a determined person, and I want to save as much as I can to stay in america for a few months.
I do some family friends that live in Orlando..
is Orlando pretty good? Can someone give me some idea of what it's like there? What towns are nearby?
I either just want to go there for a few months and soak up the atmosphere, or maybe go there to study for Uni.Now I know a lot of americans, want to come over and study over here, in england and go to oxford - but I dont know. America seems like such an amazing place (but then again, media isnt always truthful) and I'd really to be in the performing arts industry - westend/broadway or street dance - I am very versatile.
But anyway, I just have this hunger for america,
so can anyone tell me anything about orlando? I'll probarbly go when I'm 17/18/ or 19 yrs
I'm 16 now, and really want to go

I don't know. Orlando is in Florida and it is very HOT and very crowded and lots of bugs. Lots of storms too. If you are into the ARts then New York City is the place for you, or Hollywood.
That is what I would recommend. there are lots of attractions in Orlando, Disney, Sea World, and those are great, but if you are going to be in the US for a few months, there all there is to do in Orlando is go to the beach, get a tan, do water sports.
There are more ART centers up north.
Hope this helps.
