yeah i kno this prolyl is a stupid question
nyways
well my guy friends they most of them take me as a "sister"
is that better than being a friend?

Closer than a friend. Also an easy excuse for saying they are not romantically interested.

I am a 16 year old girl who has taken a babysitting course a few years ago and is certified in CPR. I don't have a lot of experience. I have only babysitted once before, not counting my younger sister. I babysat for a family that had a two year old and a ten year old.

Now I am babysitting for a family that has three kids: A three year old, and two 18 month olds. I only babysit for an hour or so, and the 18 month olds are napping, so unless they wake up, the only major responsiblility is the three-year-old.

My question is, is $10.00 an hour too much? I didn't ask for that much, the parents just gave it to me. I feel bad accepting it because even though I don't just watch TV when I'm babysitting, I play with the kids, it seems like a lot. But then again, I don't know much about babysitting rates, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Miya's figures are idiotic. 25 dollars an hour? She's not a freaking lawyer, she's babysitting for God's sake.

10 dollars is probably fine.

I met this nice Italian guy on Myspace,
and he wanted to know if we could talk
over MSN, so of course, I was like, sure.
He seemed really nice but then he wanted to
get on his webcam, so I said alright.
I've watched other people (non-sexually) on webcam.

Of course I had to tell him: don't strip or anything,
and he said he wouldn't, but then I guess he
changed his mind and took all his clothes off?
I felt weird saying "No" and he obviously wasn't
going to take "No" for an answer.
Oddly, I watched him but felt really nervous the whole time.

Not to sound like a dork or anything,
but I've never really seen a guy close up naked.
However, I was kind of disgusted with this naked guy.
I was also really scared, which is weird,
because most of my friends have actually
had sex with a guy and obviously they are
comfortable with even more than just looking at that!

Is this usual? Is it ok to feel a little freaked out by...male parts?
I am really boy crazy and I love guys, so why
do I freak out so much if I see a naked guy?
What if I'm a Lesbian?

And by the way, I won't be watching that
guy on webcam again so don't worry!

Guy "parts" are freaking gross, so in my book, it was a normal reaction.

What could it mean if a guy always wants you to flash him.. and he tells me things that he doesnt want anyone else knowing about? 16/f.

It means he thinks you're dumb enough to actually do it.

And because you actually had to ask, you probably are.

My girlfriend and I was having sex,and we didn't have a condom but I pulled out.But I busted on her vagina NOT in it but on it.What are the different ways she can be pregnant?Is it possible from busting on her she could be?

The different ways she can be pregnant? Uh, pregnant with a boy... or a girl...?

Dude, haven't you ever heard of precum? Pulling out is the most idiotic method of birth control ever thought up, because it DOES NOT WORK. Some precum has even more sperm in it than what you ejaculate.

In conclusion: morning after pill, anyone?

does anyone know when the writers strike will end and what will happen to the shows when it does end

because my fav show is heroes and because of the strike there is only 3 episodes left and this season only started in september

That's right, the writers and TV networks have released a schedule of how long they would like to go without money and new episodes.

If my sources are correct, it will end February 30th, 2008.

i really need to know.

DONT DELETE THIS!!!

It means the questioner is a moron and you shouldn't answer the question for fear of catching their disease.

me: i didnt do anything
him :exactly

what does it mean when i said"i didnt do anything? and he said exactly?

Somehow I never took away from the conversation that he was trying to make you jealous.

The only thing I took away was that he's a fucking idiot.

i was watching a episode of " friends" the other day, and joey was auditioning for a role in a movie. and the director said that he had to " not be jewish" and i asked my mom about this, and she said that there was something on a mans penis that joey didnt have but he said that he did...
can someone PLEASE explain this to me?!

Circumcision is when a male's foreskin is cut off after birth.

It's all the rage for white boys like me, not just Jews, well... like me.

Well, I base my advice on the typing ability and mental capacity of the questioner, so I believe that there is only one being that you can effectively "luv".

I say if he is old enough to carry a shovel he should.
He also sucks in school, I think he ll drop out from kindergarden.

What's more amusing? The question, or that people actually believed you?
