Hi there Advicenators.
The last time I logged on here I was 21. Im almost 30 now. Wow I thought I was well put together at that time. I wasn’t. I was looking for validation in being right, or proving that I had the solutions to problems. I didn’t. It makes me think about all the times I went looking for answers online and who was on the other end of that answer. Was it someone like my 21 year old self who didn’t know anything? Be careful out there, friends, and I hope you get the answers you’re looking for.

Well, I am not that great of a singer, But I taped myself singing on my cell-phone today and I dont sound bad. The only problem is I can only sing really werid songs, And I sing to soft its almost to the point you can barely hear me. Is it possible to train your voice to get louder? Any tips? (link)
|
of course you can sing louder. anyone can be loud.
loud isnt the object though. you want to be able to sing with good tone.
when you sing try to sit up straight and just sing (from the diaphram) one note with good tone. if it comes out quiet keep doing it trying it louder and louder but remember to consciously keep good tone. try doing a scale as loud and as well as you can and then sing a simple song like the "do-re-mi' song with that volume.
eventually it will just be habit to sing louder than you do now. but dont just get stuck on one volume push yourself to go louder and quieter while still sounding good because singers dont just sing in one tone the whole time.
i hope this helps and good luck with your singing!

is myspace.com/kendrawilkinson the real playboy kendra wilkinson? (link)
|
you can never really be sure if someone is lying about who they are on myspace.
it proabaly is the real kendra it looks authentic enough (if there ever was an authentic myspace profile)
but just be careful who you add.
|
okay.... ummm ..... how do you work tinypic.com? i dont know if im just retarded but it is seriosly hard to work it..... well any advice?
plzz and thnk you
♥.Rachel (link)
|
not hard to work at all.
just click browse photos and upload once youve chosen a pic.
you can copy and paste the codes in your myspace account or use the URL anywhere.
the image code (the one that says this: [IMG]code[IMG])
wont work on myspace unless you do this:
delete the [IMG] things on the code and type
then it should work.
hope it works!

15/M There is this girl who i know used to like me a lot. Im not sure if she still does. I never thought i had feelings for her before, but now i realize i do... a lot. I was annoying when i talked to her a couple days ago, and now she wont pick up when i call her. Do you think i still have a chance with her or shld i give it up?i havnt called/txtd/ or IMed her for like 2 days now, when would be the right time to approach her and how shld i do it. (link)
|
this just happened to me except with a guy i like.
and what i would like more than anything is for him to come straight to my face and say "i like you" lol or somthing to that effect. just tell her how you feel. you have a 50/50 chance of getting rejected but she could also like you.
you dont know till you try.

okay so what is it? dramatic chipmunk/hamster/gopher/prairie dog/other/fake? (link)

So, like, my girlfriend broke up with me like 6 months ago. And I actually cannot get her off my mind. I mean, I think I actually still really like her which is all the worse because she doesn't want anything to do with me. We used to be friends before we went out and I really liked her for a fair few months before anything was said. So its like I went from having this fairly good friendship to a relationship to nothing. And, well, it still hurts.
I mean, I know why she broke up with me and everything, and her points are pretty fair (I was too clingy i suppose is the best way to describe it). But I only acted the way I did because, in a typically manly and ironic thing to do, I didn't want to lose what I had waited so long to get. I really cared about her, infact I still do. And given the choice I would go back and change what I did. But thats not going to happen, so I have to deal with it.
Now, your first thought might be 'wow, this guys pathetic'. Well, I don't have a particularly high opinion of myself either. But I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for what I can do?
And trust me, I have heard everything about it taking time, but 6 months and counting is far too long to wait in my opinion.
I mean, I really want to tell her how I still feel, but the thing is I havent spoken to her in literally 2 months and a random message from me detailing how I feel won't go down well I fear.
Because the thing at the bottom is telling me to, i'm 17/m and she is 17/f (duh)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks :) (link)

omg. this just happened to my friend. its only been like 2 months since thier break up but same idea.
girls like that probably werent even worht your time in the first place. but if you still like her the only thing to do would be to tell her. shes not just going to guess. but try not to tell her over myspace or the phone. its impersonal and usually has no good outcome. dont expect to be taken back though. if she wants nothing to do with you then she most likely wont even make an attempt to see reasonably. there are other girls out there too remember!
wellhope this helps good luck.

im 16/f and i need tips for fighting other people like i mean fighting other girls. (link)
|
well you should try not to fight.
but i know (from experience) that most girls suck at fighting.
try this: close your hand and make a fist. dont just scartch and pull hair. be aware of whats around you. stomach is sensitive and a good place to start. avoid faces and the temple/head area unless you want to potentially really hurt someone bad.
well anyway..if theres a certain person you want to fight try to use and alternative method to solve your problems fighting should be your last choice.

Okay, so I got a haircut and decided to get actual forhead covering bangs. The stylist did it well but the bangs were really poofy. I asked her about it but she just said my hair had natural "body". What can I do to make my bangs more... "whispy"? (link)
|
there are products you can use for poofiness.
i use pomade by kenra. catwalk has a taming thing i know. go to like rite aid or something and just look theres alot more than i know of =]
good luck!

Ok, so Im really laid back and stuff like that. I dress the total opposite. Like, I'm a cheerleader or something. My freinds even call me emo and goth alot but I am ok with that. I need tips on how to look punk like Avril Lavigne. You know, hair, clothes, and make up. Please HELP ME!!!! (link)
| |
her hair is my favorite. its long straight and reddish brown with lots or streak or blonde, red, and dark brown, and black in it. if your parents will let you go to a salon and show them a pic of avrils hair and they could probably easily do it for you
|
Well ive been getting sick of my dark brown hair and my mom wont let me dye my hair. So maybe if i got a semi-permanent(sp?) hair dye she would let me.
*What brand should i get?
*Will a light shade of brown work with my dark brown hair?
*How long does it last?
*If i dont like it how do i get it out?
Thanks in advance. :]]
BTW- PLEASE know what your talking about =D (link)
|
there are alot of brands you can choose from and alot of them are good but try to get ones with no ammonia. idk about you but the smell makes me sick and it burns your scalp when you leave it on.
a lighter shade of brown would work with your dark brown hair but it might make it red. that happened to my dark brown hair when i tried to dye it lighter. so try to find a color that has no red in it instead go with golden browns. unless of course you want red. its up to you they both look good. semi permanant will last i think up to 2 months or maybe more. or thqts how long it lasted for me. once you dry your hair after dying it and you dont like the color you can shampoo it out it takes quite a few times to get any of it out. dishsoap is really strong and will strip it out but unfortunately will strip out any of the good stuff in your hair too.
ok i hope this helps good luck

im thinking about getting a haircut soon. i like the scene(i know scene is a lifestyle and all that, so i dont need a big explanation on how scene isnt a label or a clique, thanks)/edgy type hair styles, but not super scene like spiked in the back, things like that. kind of a toned down scene, if you know what i mean lol. this is a picture of what my hair basically looks like now.. http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h261/Briana1254/?action=view¤t=l_b52455dd1c105982194267225c95ffb3.jpg
specific pictures or websites if you could, please!=] i dont care what the hair color in the pictures is, because im not dying my hair or anything. i want to keep my bangs basically like they are. i dont really care about the length, just not like boy short.
thanks! (link)

you can show this to oretty much any stylist and they'll know what to do. or just tell them you want layers and they'll probably know what your talking about. you can spike this one or let it lay flat.

sorry if this is nasty to anyone, but i am concerned about my health &' i need everyone's advice, thank you if you do so.
It started the night before last, it started burning down there, and it is a really uncomfortable feeling. it felt like i had to go pee but i really didnt. i was running in and out of the bathroom wasting tampons because i was trying to get it to go away, by trying to go pee. i would only pee alittle bit but i kept having to do it. i've had this before, i guess it kinda went away. i'm having the feeling right now, and i hate it alot.
i had it the night before last, and last night. i could hardly go to bed, it finally just stopped but i think it will come back tonite. :[
anyone know what this is, and how to mabe fix it?
(link)
|
its a bladder infection. ive had it before and it hurts!!!! you have to go to a doctor they'll give you a cream for it or tablets that you chew. theres nothing you can really do by yourself except for not move a whole lot.
hope you feel better!

Okay, iw as driving today and sitting at a stop light, and there was this old field, and in the field there were these 2 animals, at first I thought it was a squrirel, but when i looked twice, it was like the body was this kitten, but like really really tiny baby like 2 day old kitten, but it was fuzzy and it had an abnormally long tail, the tip of its tail was fuzzy and so was the tip of its ears. im in central california, does any body knwo what it was?

I am a 13 year old girl who is 150 pounds and 5'7. I know I am of normal weight, but I have a stomach I would like to get rid of. I'm trying to lose 15 pounds and I heard not eating bread rice and pasta will help you loose belly fat? Is that true? What foods can help you loose belly fat? What exercizes can I do *besides crunches* to lose my muffin top? How long and often should I do these exercises (link)
|
well theres not really much you can do besides crunches. try doing them with your legs up in the air or on a chair or something and doing them side to side. it helps with fat on your sides and your abs. do some cardio like running and stairs. and if you stop eating all the bread and stuff it will help because theyre all carbs and no nutrition. but you have to excersize. not eating them wont make fat magically dissapear.
good luck!

So there's this guy who i've liked for a year now. I told him I liked him a month ago because I thought he liked me too. He didn't really respond. So now it's summer and we don't see each other. I should get over him, but I really don't WANT to. It's fun thinking about him, and he also never really gave me a response, so there's a possibility that something could happen next year. Is that okay? (link)
| |
well if hes just totally ignorign you then i would forget him. if hes not willing to pay attention to you then hes not worth your time and worry. but if you really still like him then next year when you guys meet up then make something happen talk to him and stuff. he already knows you like him so you have a head start and a whole year!

im a 17 year old female and im dating this girl and i really liked her .. i have for a long time.. i asked her out twice but ashe turned me down.. now she asked me out na di said yes.. it has been two weeks sice we started dating but i hate talkin on the phone with her.. caus eit gets so boring you know.. but i love hanging with her and holding her im my arms.. why do i get bored on the phone? (link)

when your together you talk about things around you because you both experience the same things. but on the phone you dont know whats happening with eachother. this happens with me and my bf alot so we just text eachother now and call only when we need to. lol. but dont worry its not cause either one of you is boring =]]

Hello:]! I just bought the Clairol Natural Instincts hair product. I want it to make my hair lighter, but on the box in the lower corner it says "covers gray naturally", and then in the instructions it says to add to the darkest, or grayest parts of hair. I am confused to whether it covers gray, or covers all of my hair.
I am 15, so I dont have gray hair yet. Has anyone used this, and can they explain whether it lightens my regular hair? (link)
|
ive used this many times. its like the only ne i ever use besause it doesnt have ammonia and it smells good. lol. so anyway its just saying that it covers gray if youhave it. you can apply to your whole head if you want to since your hair is all one color and has no grey patches.
hope this helps!
|
okay you know how you have pictures as your cations below your other pictures ? well can you explain how to do that.
i went on layout sites & got the code & i insterted it in my cation & the picture i wanted i got the URL code for that too. well when i do all that & update the caption the only thing that shows up is 3 dots...

On myspace, i see people commenting themselves on their pictures and stuff. But when i try to do it it says you must be someones friend to comment them, and so then i try to add myself it says you cannot add yourself as a friend. So how do they do it? (link)
