Bring Petey back!! End bear harassment and bring Petey back to life! (Indeed)

I really am considering this. I mean, how is bear harassment amusing? It is such a serious subject. I don't know WHAT I was thinking.

I think that if I bring Petey back, things will be a little different.




How do you put on a bandana? (I.e. how do you fold it and attach it correctly etc?) (Indeed)

I don't normally wear bandanas, but when I played hockey we wore bandanas under our helmets to keep our hair out of our faces and such, so I am clearly an expert and all. Anyways:

1. Fold the square into a triangle (pull one corner to the corner which is diagonal from it)
2. (this is kind of optional) Fold the bandana at the flat side (the longest side now that it is a triangle) so that the bandana is not too big for your head (just fold it on itself about an inch)
3. Flip your head over (if you have long hair make sure it is all flipped over as well)
4. Put the flat, and longest side of the bandana (the edge you just folded) against your forehead (still flipped over) with the point facing towards you (this is so that the bandana isn't on backwards, just make sure you have it so the point will be at the back of your head, instead of in front of your face)
5. With the bandana against your forehead, tie the two long sides (which are now at the sides of your head) together in a knot at the back of your head, underneath your hairline (so it should go from your forehead, behind your ears and then under your hairline)
6. Flip your head back over and make sure the bandana is straight and everything.




My Mom is like, totally bugging me to wear makeup, but I really don't want too! What should I do? (Indeed)

Ask her why exactly you need to wear make up, because really - why? Just because that is 'what most girls do' doesn't mean you have to.

Tell your mom that you like yourself just how you are, and if she isn't ok with that, then she needs to re-think what is important to her.

When my mom bugs me about make-up, I tell her one of the following things (which are all true):
1) I'm too lazy
2) It is my face not yours and I don't want to
3) I refuse to do something just because it is expected of me
4) I don't like caking stuff onto my face in order to feel better about myself

Seriously, it is your face, tell her that.




So... You want me to kick that stuffed bear's ass? (Indeed)

We can together. TOGETHER WE FIGHT THE BEARS.

I bet you've been bear-harassed too and you just don't want to tell anyone.




What I feel that bear needs is a woman in his/her life. I happen to know a selection of single and attractive bears that he/she could hit it off with if he/she wanted. I feel that the bear is harassing you because he/she looks up to you and needs to have someone to be there for him/her. Please email one of the addresses below to contact a single bear who can really be there for the one bothering you, don't be tempted to email more than one at a time, cheating isn't cool.
lonesomesinglebearseeksyou@hotmail.com
im_an_easy_bear@yahoo.co.uk
im_better_bare_you_wanna_see@bearmail.com (Indeed)

I've transferred these emails to the bear, we can only wait at this point. I must thank you for all of your help.

Everyone should be aware of the horrors of bear-to-person harassment.

Bears are for BEARS damnit.

I'm sorry, I'm getting too emotional over this whole traumatic experience.




I have some friends who would be willing to take that bear out for you, if it continues to harass you. (Indeed)

I'll look into it. Usually I do my own hits but I mean, everyone needs a murder-break once and a while right.




Well my two best friends of all time are going to one highschool and we are all supposed to go to the same one. Then my mom changed her mind and is making me go o another one!!! I REALLY wanna be w/ my best friends and I dont have ne other friends going to the other highschool help!!!! (Indeed)

You can still stay friends while going to different high schools. It might not seem like it, but there is always after school and weekends. There is a pretty good chance that you wouldn't see your friends during the school day anyhow, because you may have different classes and lunches. Talk to your mom first and see if she is willing to reason with you and maybe change her mind because it scares you to be alone in a new school. If she refuses, remember it isn't the end of the world and that you will always be able to make new friends and keep your old friends also.




do you like pancakes? I like pancakes.

Do you like syrup on pancakes?

What about bacon? Bacon, syrup, and pancakes are tasty together. (Indeed)

I should have had all of these things yesterday, as it was Fat Tuesday and all.

I can have pancakes today though, if I wanted to not be lazy and make them. The sausages and bacon are out though, sadly.




what r u doin? (Indeed)

Bwah?

This confuses me.




what's it like for the jewish in the uk tring to stick to their food laws?




(Indeed)

Well, I don't live in the UK, but I would assume it would be the same situation no matter where you live. Unless it is some parts of Africa/Asia where they see the cow as sacred, because then you'd only be eating chicken I guess.

In conclusion - I have no clue whatsoever. If you are committed to your religion as much as you should be if you still consider yourself part of that religion, then you shouldn't be too upset about missing some non-Kosher foods.

Seriously I don't know.




I have really really wavy hair and I was wondering how to straighten it and keep it straight for the day without drying it out or causing it to break or start dandriff. Any suggestions? (Indeed)

If you want to make sure your hair doesn't dry out, try to go a few days without straightening your hair. So if you straighten it on a Monday, try not to straighten is on Tuesday and Wednesday. See what I'm saying? Straightening your hair will always do damage, but if you don't do it every day and very frequently, you can minimize the damage it does.

Also, look into buying home hot-oil treatments, they sell them at most drug stores that sell shampoos and hair products. A hot-oil treatment only takes a few minutes and it will put some moisture back into your hair.




Cats rock!!! (Indeed)

No.


They don't.

In fact, they don't even pebble.




Yaar! You suck, you really need to be here more. Dumb school. Who shall I get my "hOw 2 b A hO iN tW3vLtI3 EZ sT3pS" from now? SO INCONSIDERATE.

I had something else, but I have forgotten it. DAMNIT.

cUm BaK SU3N!!!!!11111eleventy (Indeed)

Oh god I am so sorry, I am disgusting and inconsiderate.

BUT NOW I AM BACK WITH A VENGEANCE AND BECAUSE YOU ARE COOL I WILL NOT VENGEANCE YOU (how the crap do you spell vengeance properly?)


The endeth.




13/f ..In my group of friends and in school, i am such a prude good girl but all of a sudden now i just wanna be a slut!! like i cant wait to go on vacation and pick up random guys. I really want a bf, to makeout,smoke, drink do all that stuff. Is this normal? I feel so weird because im getting all these urges and i dont know where theyre coming from! I feel dirty and like i wanna be like those girls in the movie Thirteen.. please help! im starting to do things.. i bought a thong, drank my moms wine and wanna do other stuff that i know ill get in trouble for! but i cant help it! what do i do?? (Indeed)

It's called being a 13 year old. The difference between the idiots in the movie Thirteen and every other normal person is the fact that they don't do those things they have the urge to do.

Yes, it's normal to feel this way (to an extent) but it isn't really normal to actually do these things. Don't fuck up your life on a whim of urges. Remember that you aren't obligated to give in to things you just feel like you could be doing because later, you are going to regret it.

Regrets suck.




In light of recent anti-Petey comments directed at Fern's advice column, I would like to propose this charter:

Article I:
A. Petey is a dinosaur. ROARRR!!
B. Petey is inherently cool and awesome.

Article II:
A. Since Petey is inherently and undeniably cool and awesome, those who do not agree with this and publically admit so will face swift punishment.
B. Punishment details are defined in Articles III, IV and V (below).

Article III:
A. There are three classes of offenses regarding the denying of Petey's coolness and/or awesomeness.
B. The aforementioned three classes are defined in Article IV.
C. Their respective punishments are outlines in Article V.

Article IV:
A. Class 1 offense - stating Petey is not cool and/or awesome.
B. Class 2 offense - stating that you hate Petey.
C. Class 3 offense - insinuating or stating Petey should come down from Fern's advice column.

Article V:
A. Punishment for Class 1 offense - Being poked in the eye, not once, not twice, but thrice.
B. Punishment for Class 2 offense - Public humilitation, being put up in the stocks for 72 hours whilst the townspeople have you at their discretion to do as they please.
C. Punishment for Class 3 offense - Death by guillotine.

Article VI (temporary): The previous five Articles are yet to be ratified by Fern. This article is stricken upon ratification.

MaxwellsSilverHammer (Indeed)

You are the greatest person ever.




me and my boyfriend just had sex and the condom busted and he said he nuted in me am i pregnant? (Indeed)

nuted? Ok well.

You could be. That doesn't mean you are, but that means that you have a decent enough chance of pregnancy. If this was just today, then you won't be able to take a pregnancy test to find out, as I think you need to wait 2 weeks before you can get results. You will have to wait enough time to see results on a pregnancy test, go visit a doctor or wait and see if you have your period. If you are extremely young and are sure you cannot handle the chance of being pregnant (aside from the fact that you shouldn't have been having sex if this was the case) then visit something like Planned Parenthood and speak to them.

You have a decent chance of pregnancy. You may very well not be pregnant, but you may be. You need to visit a doctor or a clinic (Planned Parenthood I think is what it is in the US).




Heyy! I can edit columns and I was wondering how I could make my questions one color and answers a different color. Where would I do that when editing my column? I'm editing the default one if that helps! Thank youu! (Indeed)

Alright well I've looked into it and I am thinking that perhaps we cannot. This would be because on your column settings, there is only one option for font colour, and I'm not quite sure that it is possible to override the '' command or add to it.

The problem is that questions/answers all fall under the '' variable. You can try putting a full text colour change (I would post the full thing but that might just mess things up here - I'm talking about the whole HTML tag that changes font colour) under either the variable or the variable under the section "Question/Answer Layout."

Give it a try, though I am not entirely sure this will work.




okay, i'm 15 i've been dating chris for over a year. he's a year older than me and my parents really trust him now and everything, and we've been having sex for like six months. he doesn't let me wear skirts and stuff like that though.

but i don't really want to be with him anymore, i'm really interested in this other guy brett, so i broke up with chris. but my parents said i couldn't date anyone else but chris because they trust him! i got back together with him now.
how can i get my parents to let me date brett..or should i stay with chris?

(Indeed)

Let me put it bluntly, because after I am going to just blabber away:
At this point, the last thing you need is to be dating anyone.
Now for the blabber. Your parents should allow you to make your own decisions, but since they won't, you need to tell them that it doesn't matter that they trust Chris, because Chris doesn't even trust you enough to wear skirts (that is a really bad sign, by the way). After such a long and intense relationship, you don't want to bounce into another one because you will find that how you feel about the new person will fade. Initially, you will have just compared the new person to Chris which probably made him seem great, when really, he might not be. Take some time to be boyfriendless, don't stay with Chris if you have reasons to break up with him, and don't distance yourself completely from your parents by dating someone that they don't approve of.
Be boyfriendless, spend some time with just friends, and show your parents that you are mature enough to make your own decisions.




I don't like you. Why do all of you white people have to cramp my style? (Indeed)

Do not lie.

You love to love me.

It isn't our fault that you have no style.




Why does SH fail in comparison in coolness to yours truly?

Is he even trying? (Indeed)

He is trying so hard, yet continues to fail.

Pity him. He is trying so very hard.

FAILURE.

Hawtt though.
