about
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
My two best friends are fighting and i'm in the middle of it. They want me to choose sides. What should I do?
Don't choose sides. It's as simple as that. Don't even get involved. Tell them that THEY need to work things out, and you don't want to be involved in this. Then, tell them to call you up when they're done fighting.

what can i do to get my parents to let my buy my own phone its really annoying how they keep sayin that i hav to wait till christmas and that its not that long to wait but i keep tellin them its ages]
i had my own money in my bank, enough to pay for a phone but then my mum took it out to pay for sumthin and now she wont give it back
my dad keeps sayin that hes gunna try and find alteratives other than buying me a phone, like getting my mums phone but my question is how can i get my parents to get m a phone before christmas
btw my dad doesnt trust me cause he think that i am gunna sit around a table with my friends texting them all day but i keep tellin him im not that stupid and i have a brain and stuff
so...... any help would be grately appreciated
thanks in advance
Honestly? The best thing you can do is wait and stop bothering your parents.
If they want you to wait until Christmas, just wait. Trust me, the world will NOT end just because you don't have a cell phone. Plus, waiting and not bothering them shows maturity, and will help your parents trust you more =]

is it just me or has facebook been acting strange these last couple days? like yesterday they said they were doing maintenance, and when i went on today, i couldn't even get to the actual site! it said:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
... does anyone know when facebook will be up again?
If Facebook says they're doing maintenance, that's what they're doing. You're right; it probably isn't just you experiencing it, but you just have to wait it out and let them fix what they have to fix. I'm sure it will be up soon.

ok so i've have a thing for a couple weeks with this one guy, billy. In the beginging everything was really fun a we got along really great, but ever sence we started hooking up, we cant seem to hold a conversation. When ever we hang out we normally just hook up cuz we have nothing to say to each other. When were in places were it is inappropriate to hook up we usually just talk to other people, or have horrible small talk. idk what to do, I feel like we cant get back to how it used to be
All you can really do is talk to him about it. I know you seem to have a hard time talking in the first place, but the least you can do is try.
Other than that, just make an effort to have a conversation with him. You have to try and make things work with him, things won't just automatically be perfect. Ask him how his day was, talk about your families, anything.
And maybe you can stop hooking up with him. It only will end up causing more tension and making things more awkward in your relationship.

ive been bulimic on and off for two or three years, and i want to stop completely so badly. any tips that could help quitting be a little easier?
Get professional help. This is the most affective way to beat your eating disorder. None of us here are doctors or eating disorder specialists, and that's really all we can suggest for you.

My sweet 16 is going to be in September and I'm having a really hard time choosing a theme. I'm probably going to invite boys as well as girls and I want the theme to be for both sexes. I want it to be an awesome occasion but also within reason (such as money). So can someone suggest any ideas for my sweet 16 please? thanks,
Michellemonster
How about like an era theme? Like the 50's, 60',s 80's, etc? 80's might be cool, not to mention fun.
For more ideas:

i got fingered by my loving boyfriend and we both had total consent but i feel guilty and so does he a slight bit, but we both loved it. what do i do to feel better and im feel more guilty than he does.
but what can he do also ?
He can stop fingering you. You guys can do other appropriate things like see a movie or go out to dinner.

i have really dry skin and i was wondering wat kind of make up would be best to use for my skin and wat kind of stuff can i use to make it not dry
The best would be no make up at all. Other than that, use a daily moisturizer.

Okay i am going into high school next year and my friends are starting to drink and smoke. i cont want to but i know i will not be invited anywhere if i don't. i know this seems like simple, say no, but the only way to keep my friends is to drink or lose them. i know it seems like these friends suck, and they do but i cant change groups. like idk, but idk i don't want to. i just don't want to sink to that level. if you are a teen, you know what this is. you cant just be like "no I'm not drinking" I'm only 13. I'm turning 14 soon but...what do i do?
If you don't want to do it, then don't! I'm 16 and I still don't drink, does that make me a loser? You CAN say, "No, I'm not drinking." It's no big deal. Stick to your morals, don't give in to peer pressure.

I'm really passionate about singing, but I know I have a long way to go.
Here is my YouTube account:
http://www.youtube.com/user/lisaxbexloco
If anyone could suggest some songs to sing, so that I can be more open to other music styles...I would appreciate that greatly!
Hmm...here are some suggestions I think you might sound good singing:
When it Rains: Paramore.
All Around Me: Flyleaf.
Colors: The Rocket Summer.
Fences: Paramore.
Thunder: Boys Like Girls.
Honey: The Hush Sound.
Tired and Uninspired: My American Heart.
I also think your voice would sound good with this new artist I found. Her name is Charlotte Sometimes. Try her song "How I Could Just Kill A Man".
Good Luck!

i get really oily skin, is there any home remedies that could make it better? I have bought som products but is there anything else i can do? Because once it gets oily, it is just attracted to dirt and i end up with pimples all over my nose
Well, I don't know of any home remedies, but have you tried Oil Abosorbing Sheets? I think they're by Clean & Clear. Anyways, they work really well, and they're small so you can take them everywhere with you.

I'm looking to get a small(ish), inexpensive pet. Preferably one that's not too much to maintain, and also won't be too smelly.
Obviously I know if the cage or whatnot is cleanred properly that shouldn't be too much of an issue, but you know what I mean.
I live in an apartment (well, private house), so noise is also a factor.
Also, if you suggest a fish, maybe suggest a certain kind instead of just "get a fish". Like name or what color it is and what not. And also maybe let me know the price range and what they eat.
Thanks! =)
I would suggest a fish, too. Only, I suggest a Betta Fish. I've had a few in my day, and they're really easy to take care of. Not to mention they're pretty =]
Here are a few websties to help you out:

I am 21, female, and in a committed relationship. I love my boyfriend... but everytime he tries to do something special it reminds me of my ex who was abusive in many ways. I keep on finding ways that he is like him. I don't want my fiancee to think I am crazy but I can't forget what I went through. What should I do if anything...??
Lost in Texas, Suz
I would talk to your current boyfriend about it. See what he has to say on the matter. Then, I'd try to focus on all the things about him that are different from that of your ex. If you focus on all the good, hopefully you will eventually forget about the bad.
Good Luck =]

Im going on a vaction to cuba with a bunch of friends and im supposed to get my period the day we leave, so i will have it the entire time were there. I was wondering if there is any way to make it start even a couple days early so that the worst part with be over when we go.
You can't make it start earlier without starting some form of birth control. But I'm assuming you don't want to do that...

okay, so i havent had my period since MARCH of this year.
and i ususally get them every other month for 10 days.
and its really heavy, then all of a sudden stops.
but i havent had it in so long, and every year i go on vacation and i get it there. wether i just had it or i havent had in a long time.
i dont know why.
but how can i have a light period.
or not have one at all for a week.
or shorten the cycle?
wihtout meds?
You can't make your period lighter.
You can't delay your period, either.
If your period is really bothering you, I suggest seeing a doctor. None of us here ARE doctors, so we can't give you any other solution.

Okay, well, me and my boyfriend had sex, but he didn't have a condom, so he just pulled out. Is there still a high chance of me getting pregnat? Any answers would help, thanks.
ANY TIME you have sex, there is a chance of pregnancy. Especially when your boyfriend isn't using a condom:

Im confused IDK what I should do for this new school year..I usally shop at like hot topic for tops and macys for bottoms..but this summer one of my friends were alot of prep clothes and she got alot of guy and me and here are like the same in looks...do guy prefer girls like this....another question I have is
what should I were
scene clothes
or american eagle...clothes
If a guy likes you for what you wear, he isn't worth it.
Wear what YOU want, and what YOU are comfortable in. Just because everyone else is shopping at Hollister doesn't mean you have to. If everybody else was going to jump in front of a train, would you follow that trend, too?

i need a new myspace headline. currently, mine is "be young, think smart, stay true, and just follow your heart". it's from an ataris song.
i don't want to use "live, laugh, love", but i like that whole attitude- the live-for-the moment, have fun, etc. kind of stuff. my friend has 'hakuna matata', which i love. so, anything cute, short, and simple is fine by me. any ideas?
"It's funny how you find you enjoy your life, when you're happy to be alive.
- From a Releint k song ;]
"Let go of what kills you and hold on to what keeps your breathing."
"When the sun shines we shine together."
"Get off yuor feet and make this count."
- From a Rocket Summer song.
"If home is where the heart is, then my home is where you are."
- From another Relient k song.
"You live you learn, you crash you burn."
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about getting out there and dancing in the rain."
"When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, give it a 1000 reasons to smile."
I'd suggest listening to more songs and finding a line you really like ;]
