My name is Laura and I'm 28 years old. I live in Illinois and work as a licensed veterinary technician. I am a runner, bookworm and obviously, an animal lover.I've been on this site since '05. I take hiatuses, but I'm never gone for good. I enjoy giving advice and I've made such lovely friends on this site that I couldn't imagine giving it up!
chat it up yo.
ps. here's my bestestestest friend.
I love him. You will too :)
advice
well im getting the iphone and i was wondering for the ringtones can you use the songs that you put on the ipod part of the phone or do you have to buy the ringtones?
You have to buy them, I'm pretty much positive. But there are sites, like the columnist below sugggested. Just make sure to check them out before you use them to make sure they aren't scams =X

my room is always messy and when i start to clean it i always get distracted and start doing something eles like going on the computer, i really want to clean my room up is there a way i can make it fun and get the job done
Turn the computer off, and keep it off until you finish cleaning. I like to listen to music while I clean, so you can try that.
If neither of those help, try cleaning it gradually. Like, picking up the clothes on the floor, then check the computer. Then make your bed and dust, then get a snack or whatever.
Hope this helps ;]

i have a friend that is belimuc and aneriox, i dont kno wat to do so i am asking for help...
Get professional help. We're not doctors, and we can't treat your friend. The best thing you can do is get help for your friend. Tell a parent, your/their doctor, or an older person you trust.
Good Luck.

I've heard that many vegetarians become sick after not eating meat for a long period of time.
What sicknesses do they get and what are the symptoms.?
Thankyou.
I'm a vegetarian [and have been for about a year], and I have yet to become seriously ill. My mom, however, is a registered nurse, and she worries. She tells me that the main thing to worry about it becoming anemic.

i am 14 this year and i am still 1.48cm,what do i need to do,to grow taller?
There's nothing you can do to make yourself grow. You just have to let it happen naturally. You're only 14, so you haven't reached your final height yet anyways =]

i had my period this month but is was brown then a little red then it went back to brown but its been like that for four days and i dont have any idea what that means what does it mean what do i need to do
I don't think it's as serious as one of the other columnists who just answered. I'm pretty sure it's normal and that you're fine.

Well since I moved to riverside me and my bestfriend don't see eachother alot! And it's a weird freindship now. And she's always pressuring me about when can she come out. And my mom keeps telling me she doesn't know. Is our freindship worth keeping??
Yes your friendship is worth keeping! Why wouldn't it be? Just because you can't spend time face to face with her does not mean you should stop talking to her. Good friends are hard to come by, don't lose one just because you moved.
It's not hard to have a friend who lives far away, trust me, I'm talking from personal experience here. All it takes it a little effort. Talk on IM/Facebook/etc, text her, call her on the phone, there are other ways to keep in touch besides visiting! Tell you friend that it's not a good time for her to come out, but you don't want to stop being friends. Explain to her that she doesn't need to come visit you in order to maintain your friendship.
Good Luck =]

my friend and i have been best friends for ever,but shes gettting on my nerves. she is so annoying all she does is talk about guys. theres even a i hate:blank club all my other friends hate her what do i do i dont want to hurt her and i dont wanna gove up are relationship tottaly i just want space...kinda for awhile ???
It's ok to want space from an annoying friend. I agree with the columnist below who said to tell her you need space. It's best to be honest with her. Let her know that you just want some time to spend with other friends, or to be by yourself, but you don't want to completely ditch her.

for like a few months now i have been having discharge from down there. I have no idea why. Its like a slimy discharge. I am not sexually active either. Does anyone know what this could be??? Thanks in advance!
Do you get it right before your period? If so, it's totally normal. Discharge in general, is normal. If it really is bothering you, you can wear a pantyliner. Or, if it gets really bad, you can visit the doctor.

Guys, what are things you hate that girl's do? Like if they're annnoying and if they check your cell phone a bunch or something. I just want to know all the things guys hate about girls. Like yeah, if that makes sense? Even girls can tell me! Like any things you know guy's don't like. THANKS :D
Well, I'm not a guy, but I've talked to 2 of my good guy friends, and from what I've gathered, guys don't like:
- Girls who obsessive over their appearance.
- Girls who are all over 3 different guys in one night.
- Girls who are annoying.
- Girls who don't talk, they just sit there.
- Ex girlfriends who are talking about how much they regret ever breaking up, etc.
- Girls who aren't interested in the guy's hobbies, likes, etc.
- Girls who smoke.
- Girls who call every 5 minutes.
Hope that helps.

i have a crush on this guy i have known him since second grade but he only gives me a hug when his freinds are around to tease me like he even said to his freind she always wants to hug me and he said watch and i try to ignore him when he says hi to me but i can't i like him too much.
from,
do not know what i am doing wrong.
Why don't you ask him about it? None of us here can read his mind, therefore, talking to HIM about it is your best bet.
If I had to give my personal opinion on the situation, I'd say that maybe you should ignore him for a while. Yeah, you said it will be hard, but the least you can do is try.
You're not doing anything wrong. You like him, big deal! Every girl has feelings for a guy friend at some point in her life, and it's totally fine. What isn't fine is him treating you like this.

okay this isnt a specific dream but every once in a while i have a dream of one of my family members die. so far my brother and his bestfriend (which is like a bother to me) have died along with my sister and my dad, but my mom and other brother and my grandma havent died yet. does anybody know what this means.is dream because i hate them but i dont know that i do.
Dreams are just...dreams. Yes, sometimes they scare us, but they're harmless.
Here's a cool website I found that tells you the meanings of your dreams:

Does anyone know a simple way to make a myspace layout of my own? I have tried to make one in word but that didnt work out too well, but I dont want to do it on a website because then i would have to make the image online. Anyway, can you please give me suggestions where to make one?
The only way you can make a good layout, is using a generator online. You really can't make one on your own unless you have a lot of HTML knowledge, which not a lot of people do =/
I suggest:

i have been fingered five times and my friends call me a slut but it feels good,so like leave me alonee. And now this guy wants me to have sex, should i? i am only 14. And i dont want my friends to start calling me a hoe! thats MEAN! but i kinda want 2!
from,
FFG [ fingering feels good ]
If you're worried, uncomfortable, or questioning it, then no, you should not have sex with this guy. If you don't want to be called a "hoe", don't take actions that would lead to others calling you it.

My best friend in the whole world is flurting wih my boyfriend.What should i do
Talk to your boyfriend and friend about it. I'd go to your boyfriend first. Don't make it a huge thing, just bring it up lightly and ask him what he thinks about it. Say something like, "Hey, did you notice so and so was kind of flirting with you?"
Then, talk to your best friend about it. Tell her it's bothering you, and that you'd like her to stop. If she really is your "best friend in the whole world", she'll understand and cut it out.

Okay, people told me that I could be pregnant by giving my boyfriend a handjob, and then an hour later I fingered myself like after he was gone. So someone told me I could be pregnant, but I also heard the sperm cells like die or something. Anyway I'm like freaking out. I guess I'm going to buy a pregnancy test, but I'm so embarrased to just go to the store and buy one.
You can't get pregnant from fingering yourself. I don't know who told you that, but they obviously aren't too educated.
I don't think you can get pregnant by giving handjobs, either. Though, I have no experience with handjobs OR pregnancy, so I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure that unless his semen came into contact with your vagina, you probably aren't pregnant.

My back is so sore what should i do?
First, lay down and rest. Try to put the least possible amount of weight and strain on your back.

How do i get better grades in math.
Well, you [obviously] have to give it a good effort. You need to study, ask for help when you need it, do all your homework, and take extra credit opportunities. You need to have good study habits, too.

Okay, I'm 15/F and he's 17/M. I met him through some friends at a basketball game in February, and although I've had a few boyfriends since then, a small part of me has always had a thing for him. He's really flirtatious, and I can tell he likes me. I even ran into him at a party, where he was drunk, and he told me how he felt about everything.. Saying he likes me a lot but I had a boyfriend at the time. Anyways, now, it's summertime, we're both single, and he's moving to Texas in August (we live in Indiana). We talk a lot right now, and we're actually really close. I like him a lot, but I don't want to get too involved with him, since he's moving in a month.
What do I do?
If you don't want to get involved with him, then don't. That doesn't mean you can't spend time with him before he moves, though.
Try to build a friendship with him, and just that. Keep it at a friends level. Make sure to let him know you only want a friendship. This will be much easier when he moves away, and you'll have some form of a relationship with him.

what if you ask someone out and he said something mean back would you still go for it.
No. It isn't worth it to go after a guy whose only saying mean things to you. Find somebody better.
