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.

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/Shopbop/media/images/products/johna/johna1000111409/johna1000111409_347x683f.jpg&imgrefurl=http://pearlsandpants.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html&h=683&w=347&sz=30&hl=en&start=4&um=1&tbnid=gXDPclWGP9snXM:&tbnh=139&tbnw=71&prev=/images%3Fq%3Danchor%2Bclothes%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official

the light blue shirt?

thanks in advance. (link)
anchors are a popular design so you can pretty much find them anywhere. forever21.com is a good website. and at the mall places like buckle and wet seal have similar things.


AHH i've been trying to get this song, some of the lyrics
"so if you see me coming you better back down cause i've been waiting to smack you around."
and
"well you should have stayed home, you should have known better"

PLEASE help

i'm getting braces this week and i'm really nervous about it.. will it hurt? what will they do exactly? and also i hate the orthodontist and people in my mouth... im really scared!! (link)
first of all
CALM DOWN!!!
i hate the dentist and all that business too.
i bring my mp3 player or cd player and ask the if i can listen to music while they are cleaning tightening drilling or whatever. they always say its ok. so when you get braces the process is uncomfortable at best. it takes a while and you have to deal with tightening and stuff. right after you get them your mouth will be really sore its kind of painfull to eat so stick with liquids and yogurt and soft stuff. after about a week your mouth feela normal except you have braces and your jaw will be a little stiff. then theres the tightening. after you get them tightened they will be sore all over again but that process is quick and by that time youll be an expert on the mouth pain thing. you might have to use headgear or rubber bands. if you do USE THEM! they speed up the straightening process alot. after you get your braces off it feels so good! your teeth feel smooth and your jaw feels really loose.
so anyway this was kind of long but i hope i helped!
good luck and dont worry!


Ok well my race, Vietnamese (I don't know if any other Asian race does this) does this thing when we're sick and I'm not sure if it’s supposed to be safe or not.

When we're really sick, we lay on our back and get someone else to put like lotion or something on our back and get this special spoon (Asians use to drink soup with) and scratch our backs really hard and stop when it's so red with like dots that looks like it's going to bleed.

I frankly don't think it works nor is it safe. Wouldn't scratching your back mean damaging your skin? But we're potion lotion on it so...

But it's red as if it's going to bleed. Doesn't sound good to me.

And if Caucasians see it, they'd think our husbands whipped us or something!

I asked my mom how in the world is it safe. Did the doctor suggest it to her? She says no but everyone of our race does it as a custom.

Now, just because everyone else does it doesn’t mean you have to do it, right?

I remember the one time I was sick and my dad did it for me cuz he said I had to and it hurt like HELL!

My mom says that if it hurts then it's working and makes you feel not tired anymore.. That doesn't even make sense. Of course it doesn't make you feel tired anymore, you're in pain!

What do you think of this? If you're a nurse and telling me this or you're advice is partially from a professional, please add that in.

Thank you. (link)
no it doesnt sound like it would help at all.
what it sounds like to me is when you have like a sore tooth and your dad or brother (or mine anyway)says here give me your finger! and then they smash it. it takes your mind off the pain of your tooth. i have never heard of this custom my mom had a vietnamese family living with her for like almost a year and shes never heard of it.


okay so my mom blcked myspace adn xanga from my labtop :[ does anyone know how to unblock them ? and also i use to go t oxangas adn fine cute quotes. and now i cant .does anyone know soepace instead that have quotes it ? thank you sososososoososos very much! (link)

i guess if you classify me im 'scene'
this year at h.s
i want new hair
im tired of the plain old full bangs layered hair thing.
any ideas on how i should change my hair? its a bit lower then shoulders i make it straight daily, i have it one solid color currently because i hated my blonde hair. (link)
well if you currently have the layered hair and bangs haircut then youll probably have to wait for it to grow out. do you want like kind of normal hair or like different?
here are some links to pics that i found they're cuts that would be easy to convert from the hairstyle you have now. some are kinda crazy and some are more normal. its fine if you dont like them too. hope this helps!

Ok... So this nasty girl that goes to my high school told me to charge her ipod [that she stole from someone] well she does a lot of drugs and forgot to ask for it back before the end of the school year. So i sold it.. considering she originally stole [like the piece of shit she is]i didn't think it really mattered. But next year she's going to the same h.s what should i say to her if she remembers that i still have it? (link)
well seeing that she originally stole it then i guess its not her call what you do with it.
but you say she does drugs and stuff is she going to remember? the truth is always good even for people you dont like though.


i have limewire but then i saw that you said
that once you have limewire you can download limewire pro
but doesnt that cost money? (link)
limewire is a file sharing(stealing) program.
limewire is a file.
search for limewire pro under programs and then download it and delete your old one.
all your music should automatically transfer.


anyone have tips? im fat and need to lose weight so im starting to run. problem is, i live far from the park and so can only run on the road in my community, which is bad, right? because it puts stress on your knees and its better to run on grass?

anyone have tips for a couch potato? how to slowly build up and be able to run a mile in under 8 minutes? (link)
treadmills are good. but are kind of expensive.
running once every day wont make your knees fall out from under you. even if you are out of shape you would have to have really weak knees for them to be damaged. ive said this before, any added weight to your excersizes is added burned calories. try walking around with ankle weights for a day and during your running. that really builds up leg strength. and dont just run do different excersizes. like situps and stairs. WEIGHT LIFTING MAKES A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM A FAT LOSS PROGRAM. seriously. try lifting light amounts of weights. carrying like 10 pound or even 5 pound dumbells while you run is good.
anyway theres more but this stuff will get you started.
good luck!


Can i download limewire for free? if so, how?

Thanks! (link)
once you have limewire you can download limewire pro from limewire. hahahaha.


is blockbuster better than netflix? (link)
well it depends on what commercials you watch most. lol.
what one is cheaper and what one has more selections?
i honestly dont know but i do blockbuster.


Latley I've been so obsessed with - and depressed because of - looks. And I finally figured out my reason for feeling so bad. A guy. Pathetic, yes I know. I want this guy to be so proud of me that he wants to walk around the mall with me under his arm so he can show me off and people can envy him. I want to be his main pride. I want him to feel so lucky I'm his. So I've been killing myself dieting and searching for the perfect look. Now I have 2 questions..

1) How do I prevent this from happening EVERYTIME i like someone? I would like to be able to have a crush without hating myself..you know?

2) What makes a guy proud to show you off? Is it all about the nice ass and skinny body? Or is it looong curly beautiful hair that gets other guys attention?

I know he thinks I'm pretty (atleats I think so, otherwise he wouldnt even bother talking to me right?) so its just a matter of making him feel like he's got something others want - ME!!!

How do I do this? (link)
this happens to me too.
its ok its NORMAL. i freak out and then i have to tell myself to CALM DOWN.

just focus on the good things and work on the not so good things to make them great.

for example i thought my legs were fat and then i would run a mile and to me they would look 100% percent better after like 6 minutes of running.
lol. chances are you dont even have a problem with your looks. if he thinks that your good enought then you are. and people in the mall you see walking alone will automatically be jealous because you have someone and they dont. so there! ha.


ughh i want to get my nose pierced sooo bad. ill be 17 in like 2 months and i wanna get it done for my birthday, but my mom is sooo against the idea. i told her i just want a tiny little pink stud. she just thinks its horrible. its just nose its not like i want a tongue piercing or anything! how can i convince her? thanks!! (link)
if you have your ears pierced you can show her how well a job you do taking care of them.
i wanted to get my eyebrow pierced a while ago but my mom is like yours.
well parents are wierd so if they are against something it will pretty much stay that way.
i was reduced to begging and pleading and i offered to pay for it and any following face infections i get from it. my mom garunteed me i would get one. blag! i didnt! shows what they know!


i grew up with this guy, ryan. hes 6 years older than me and recently married with an almost 2 year old daughter, grace. grace is my goddaughter.

ryan and his wife, to say the least, they are amazing. i can call ryan at 2:00 in the morning and he'll listen to me.

i should state the fact that my life at home isnt all that great. dads been a cop since he was 19 and tends to snap in an instant. sometimes on me, throwing me across the room, sometimes at my brother, during a fist fight.

i keep ryan and his wife updated. they are both willing to come pick me up if i need them too. mom and dad know this and therefore hate ryan. his wife currently left the state on vacation and hes by himself. he called me and was like "im bored. talk to me. my wife left with grace." so i was telling him what happened when i was on vacation, and mom walked in and was like "who are you talking to?" she started freaking out. his number isnt saved in my phone because when they check the call log, they'd see his name. they freak out when i talk to him.

yea he is 6 years older than me, but we are friends. hes married and totally dedicated to his wife.

why are they so retarted about me talking to him. is it because he knows more than he should, thanks to me? in so many ways their family has saved me. i live for my goddaughter. and ryan is willing to talk to me when i feel like shit. why cant mom and dad just see this? (link)
well all parents are going to be overprotective of thier kids no matter what. however you say that you guys grew up a good majority of your lives together. your parents should see that he has done no harm in the past and probably never will. parents are unreasonable at best. you'll never know why they dont like him unless you ask. maybe they do have a good reason maybe not. talk to them and just lay out yours and ryans friendship to them. theyll see sooner or later that you can do things on your own and that you can make your own decisions.


Okay, well i like this kid named Ben. And i babysit his little sister, so I get to see him a lot. Well she knows i like him, and im almost 100% sure he likes me back. But, i was filling a myspace survey out and it asked if i was single, and i said yes and she gasped and i was like what, and she was like you and Ben. And i was like well i date someone that doesnt like me back, and that we arent really dating just because i like him. And she was like but he likes you. And i was like no he doesnt, and she says yeah he does, hes just not going to tell you because he knows im going to tease him, and so i was like yeah then how do you know, and shes like im his sister i think i would know more then you. So I want to know how do i get him to tell me he likes me? And do you think he told his sister he likes me? Because two weeks ago i was over there house and we were all sitting in the living room and me and Ben were kind of staring at eachother, and she was like he likes you. So i know he does, but how do i get him to tell me without being shy, or having me have to tell him i like him?

Sorry its so long. (link)
well if he already knows theres no point in not knowing if he does or doesnt like you. if it were me i would just ask him up front. cause obviously everyone knows already. but if you arent brave enough just flirt a little more now and then. force him to like you more than you think he already does.
hope this helps!


I have a small scar next to my nose for popping a zit. haha. its a little reddish/purplish, but not too bad. does anyone have a home remedy to help make this go away? (link)
just keep it clean. when your skin gets oily from the wear and tear of the day clean it up with facewash of any type. if you have time you can put ice on it to make swelling go down and make it look smaller and less red.


I'm not sure if its the way my hair is or if I'm not using the right product or because I wear hats while my hair is wet sometimes.
The problem is I'll go take a shower, shampoo, condition my hair usin Pantene Pro V Always Smooth (aka Smooth and Sleek), and then I'll let my hair dry, and it comes out soo unbelevably frizzy, and bushy and all wavy in all different directions. My hair is kind of long (its about maybe 3 or 4 inches long, and I have bangs in the front which cover one eyebrow, they split at around the other eyebrow).

I don't use any hair product other than condition. I cant see why my hair comes out thsi frizzy. I do wear a hat to bed most nights of the week, sometimes while my hair is wet so it flattens the hair out otherwise I look absolutly horrible, like I jsut came out of a bus wreck.

Can anyone tell me if myhair is damaged, needs product, or just needs help... (link)
wellll...do you straighten your hair? if you do that like everyday then its probably dried out. if you dont curl or straighten it or put any heat on it then chances are its just your hair type. straightening does help flatten your hair. and then theres producst you can use. i use pomade from kenra. its a smoothing thing. theres definitely more. ok i hope this helps!

p.s. ive been in a bus wreck. your hair cant be that bad. =]


So, I guess I can read and comprehend them, but does it not list which finger you should use for each one listed or does it not matter? Also, when it says to play a "D" note...how can you tell which octave? I know, octave probably is not the right term, but you get what I'm trying to say...hopefully! Thanks! (link)
guitar tabs..confusing. there are different kinds
simplest one..

lets see if i can do this right..

e----------15-------------
d--------------17---------
f------12-----------------

the letters would represent which string to hit.
the number would represent which fret to put your other fingers on.
so this would go f string on the 12th fret, e string on the 15th fret and then d string on the 17th fret. get it?
hope i helped somewhat!


you know that v thing on a girls back/ waist? its like, right above the butt. its sorta like these two line things. what are they called and how do u get them. some of my friends have them but i dont.

female
14 (link)
you can get these. i mean theyre really small and not really noticeable but its the muscles right there..some ggirls are thinner and they show more. i dont have them either so..whatever. lol
but if you really want them the simplest way is to lay on your stomach with your arms at your sides and lift up your torso. kinda like a backwards situp. do this for like 5 minutes everyday. there are some more intense workouts im sure but this is the the easiest.


ok
i have dar cirles under my eyes and
theyre nt that bad but there nt aractive either
i sleep enoughijus sleep late
but i wake up late too..
[is that the problem?]
how can i fix it ?
[perferably with out make-up]
thnx
[ (link)
i had this problem too. when your tired and your eyes start to get sore from keeping them open just dont rub them. and then when i went to bed i would get a cold rag and put it over my eyes. this reduces the puffiness like icing a sore ankle. when you wake up try again not to rub them with your hands get a cold rag and wipe your eyes and try not to touch under them.
hope this helps!
