Hi I'm 18 and sorry for my spelling.

Hmm where to start..alright I'm absolutely completely no doubt about it in love with my boyfriend I have been with him for over 3 years. And I used to dream about him all the time. But lately when I do dream it's about my best friend and not like innocent dreams they tend to be naughty dreams or just simple as we end up kissing, but he keeps appearing and I don't understand why? Is it because he has alot of the same traits as my boyfriend? (an I don't see my boyfriend often anymore he lives 2 1/2 hours away) is it because I miss my boyfriend? Because when my boyfriends in town spending time with me my thoughts about Andrew disappear and I don't dream about him then. And when I do dream about Andrew I feel so guilty even though I know nothing will ever happen between us and I won't leave my boyfriend. Thank you for helping or even just reAding this. Please no rude comments again thanks

That's pretty normal. If you see your best friend more than that's probably why. If you think you are really starting to have feelings for him then you should tell your boyfriend. Otherwise it is pretty innocent.

I have dark brown hair and have recently decided to FINALLY pluck up the courage to dye my hair red. Not Rihanna/kool-aid/ketchup red, but a natural dark aurburn-ish color. The problem is, I have thick, VERY dark eyebrows, they're almost straight up BLACK. They barely look natural with my own hair color anyway, so they will most certainly look awkward with red hair. My automatic first thought when I realized this was, well I'll just dye my eyebrows too... but I've never dyed hair before. So I don't know if that's safe? Or if that just won't work? Or if that will only look even weirder? Someone suggested I simply dye my eyebrows a slightly lighter brown, would that work? Any answer would be greatly appreciated, but especially if anyone else has ever had this problem.

I wouldn't suggest dying your eyebrows red or dark auburn. It looks unnatural and kind of weird. You should dye them a light brown. Do you know the celebrity Ariana Grande? That would be a good example. I had a hair color similar to hers and I just dyed my eyebrows light auburn. It's a really light brown with a reddish tint to it. Also, if you can afford getting it professionally done at a salon then you should. They know exactly what to do.

I saw an ad for "orbeez soothing spas":

http://www.amazon.com/Orbeez-47040-Soothing-Spa/dp/B0050JD7I8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332104607&sr=8-1

However, these are for children and I am a college student...these are $30 and I would be willing to spend around ~$50 for a better professional pedicure type thing.

Does any one know any similar things to this, where I can do at home pedis?
Thank y'all!

Try Conair. They have an at home spa. It costs around $20. You can check out their website or just Google it.

Although my one year anniversary with my boyfriend is seven months away, I really want to start planning. I'm a huge procrastinator, and I think it'd be better and different if I planned it all out and not rushed with it and save it for the last minute. My boyfriend loves videogames, guitar, and the Hunger Games. We used to sit outside when we were reading the books and read them together.

Anyways, I was thinking of sending him somewhere for a few hours in the morning so I can decorate his room. I was thinking of getting balloons and make a clothesline picture hanger by using string and clothes-pinning cute pictures and quotes! I also wanted to make a nice movie theater basket, with popcorn, drinks, and his favorite candies, and a nice movie he's always wanted to see. I wanted to get him a t-shirt or something as well. What do you think?

That sounds like a cute idea. He will probably like anything. However, since that is pretty far away you should keep your options open as his interests or what he likes could change. Either way, he will appreciate it.

I'm moving in a week and I want to give my boyfriend some stuff so he'll always remember me. What should I give him? I don't know what he would want.

You should make him a scrapbook. There's tons of supplies at stores like Michael's, Joann's, Walmart, or Target.

I'm a 31 year old working professional with a one year old. My husband is really good looking, charming, flirty by nature and in sales. A year ago he told me about this hot female client of his who hit on him. She asked him to meet him on the weekend at her cottage to pick up some contracts and openly hinted she wanted "more". He never acted on it, told me about it and even avoided her on BBM.
Yesterday I was on his phone and noticed her name in a text MSG. Ofcourse I read it. In it my husband joked that she could give him company on the phone until his next meeting. She told him not to text and drive as he could get pulled over. He replied "it would be fun if you pulled me over ;)". Then he said "..don't respond with "no comments" remember this is all fun and games"
They carried on a little and the text MSG ended. I think he's trying to close a deal with her company but Im still so mad about this since he iniTiated it with a person who already had bad intentions of cheating. I don't know if I should confront him or continue reading his texts to see how this plays out. He's still being sweet and loving with me.....but I'm still soooo mad! Advice??

If you really think he is cheating or has the potential to, you should be honest with him and talk to him about it. A marriage is about honesty.

My boyfriend says 143 to me, I find that insincere, true or false?

Yes, it does. It's normally used online though like slang.

16 female
Yesterday when I was driving my jaw popped idk why tho. And it was a sudden pain that only lasted in the moment. Now today everytime I eat/open my mouth my jaw keeps popping what is this?

Also my parents jaws pop when they eat sometimes so idk if that has anything to do with it. But how do I stop this!

It could be something called TMJ or your jaw just could be out of alignment. If it keeps popping, you should see a dentist.

I want to get my little sis The sims 3 pets for ps3 and I am wondering..

When you play do you control the sim with the analog buttons or do you have to use the green thing and hover over things and click?

I think you can do both. You could always return it if you don't like it.

I'm not sure whether it's windows live or microsoft live but someone suggested I look into it for building my website. I wanted to know which is better, easier, more convenient...Dream Weaver or the Live one...I want to be able to build a website, be able to put videos (not youtube) on the site, blog etc... Thanks.

There's pros/cons with both. Before I explain that, I'm pretty sure Dreamweaver costs money whereas Windows Live is free. If you are planning to get a Macbook or any other Apple product ever, obviously Dreamweaver would be the better option as Windows Live is only for PC's. Windows Live only has HTML whereas Dreamweaver has HTML and Java. Windows Live does not have E-Commerce, Flash animation, templates, site backup, or video/audio multimedia. Dreamweaver does not have web analysis.

This guy I talk to in one of my classes.. well, we aren't exactly friends, we're more like awkward classroom friends. So I have a big crush on him, and idk how he feels, really. I've read positive signs from him, like him trying to get my attention a lot, staring at me with a small coy smile (especially when he walks right by me), occasionally mimicking my body language, etc. He's this geeky/nerdy/loner type who tends to keep to himself, but the more you're comfortable around him the more he talks to you. This guy and I sit right next to each other in one class (coincidence) and we're kind of isolated from the rest of the class, from where we're located. but he kind of gives mixed signals, like in the beginning of the period he's like energized and tries to interact with me a lot, and then at some point later he still interacts with me but just doesn't appear over zealous. and then usually by the end of the period we're not talking, really, and it's just awkward tension, and he puts his head down on his desk

So basically, today, him and his friend (one of the few others he talks to in the class) had to get random drug tested, and about 15 minutes after they came back, his friend (who sits right behind us) was smiling really big and said that this unattractive, "funny" guy wanted to ask me out on a date, and at first I was surprised cause this guy has literally never talked to me, and then I responded "stop!" in a sort of playful way, cause it was obviously a joke, and I didn't know what else to say. And my crush looked at his friend at the same time, and I don't know what his facial expression was, as I was sort of afraid to look at him after such a romantic allusion (this is how inept I am in this area).. but I heard him make a few groans, and I didn't say anything cause idk if they were directed at his friend or something else, not related to me. also, he put his head down (he does that a lot, though) afterwards, for most of the rest of the period. And now that I'm thinking about it, could this have just been a prank by my crush's friend because he wanted to push his buttons, or could my crush have told his friend that he thinks I like him, but doesn't like me back, so he was just trying to mess with me instead? cause the guy that my crush's friend referred to (the unattractive guy) wasn't even aware of this situation.. and I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me like that, either. WHAT DO I MAKE OF THIS SITUATION?

We're 18, btw

Guys can be very confusing. That doesn't change with age by the way. It's 2012. You no longer need to wait for a guy to ask you out. Honestly, if he is a nice guy then just tell him you like him. If you feel like he's going to tell his friend and make fun of you or something like that, then he's not worth your time and you should move on to someone more mature. You said you guys are 18 so I'm guessing you are going to be graduating soon? Some of my closest friends in high school don't even talk to me anymore. You just grow apart. You don't want to miss any opportunities.

I'm hoping for some exercise advice. I'm about to start a second part-time job. It it only temporary, but it will leave me with virtually no free time during the week to work out. I could get up super early and work out but I have trouble sleeping and am really bad at waking up early. So my question is, how do you think I can find time to exercise enough during this extremely busy period of time?

It's important to exercise yet it's important to work. However, you can definitely find little ways to get some exercise in. You don't need to go to a gym if you don't have the time to. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Ride your bike to work if you're able. Buy a set of at home weights. Go to thrift stores and see if they have any home exercise equipment. There's even work out videos on YouTube. p90x is a great program. It's a bit expensive but cheaper than a gym membership and really works. And you can do it at home.

We live in a trailer and the hot water heater wont work. We replaced the heating element in it. We replaced the whole water heater it just wont get hot what else could it be?

If you replaced the water heater and it still doesn't work then something is wrong with the power going to it. Where did you get it from? You should just call up the place you bought it and ask an employee. They'd definitely know more about it.

Does drinking water and staying away from salty foods make your veins bigger?

I tried to give blood but they said my veins were too little. Then I went to the doctor to get shots and they said my veins were small and they asked me was I drinking a lot of water. Does water and non salty foods make your veins bigger?

Yes but some people do just have small veins. It wouldn't hurt to increase your water intake. It's very good for you.

Hi, 24/f.
Okay, everyone. I need the truth about Vibrams Five Fingers. Do you have them? Do they rock? Are they stupid/worthless?
I've been having issues with muscle spasms lately, and running shittily. I'm currently running in Asics about every other day, since August 2011, and have not yet been able to run more than 2 miles at a time before my body burns out in some way - My legs start getting tired, I'm dehydrated, one of my calves is randomly in spasm... My theory is that I'm working too hard for the shoes I'm in, and that I'm resisting all the cushioning, trying to run forward on my feet, and am not able to support that kind of running form in these shoes. SO.
I realize Asics to Vibrams is kind of a huge jump as far as cushioning goes, but...Would they help?
How has your experience been with these?
Thanks!

I have them and they are awesome. However, they aren't for everyone. It takes awhile to get used to them. You should go to a store that has them and try them on first. Sizing is a little different than a normal shoe. You'll have to keep walking in them before you can run.

I have an AIM account, I don't use it anymore, as I have switched to GMail. However, there is a little icon that pops up on my phone that my messages on my aim account aren't sending, I haven't been on my AIM account for about 8-10 years, I hate my voicemail icon, let alone an icon that I can't fix to make it go away. So, I go onto my AIM account and it says "suspicious activity has been detected, we are blocking the username for this purpose." So, I can't log onto my AIM account to be able to delete it so that the icon doesn't show up on my phone again. I tried changing the password, but I am literally blocked out of it all and I don't know what to do! Any help is appreciated!

Can you reinstall it? Maybe if you delete and install it again then you'll be able to log in. If not, try sending them an email. They can probably help you fix it.

my friend is always in trouble .. she gets bullied alot but she always says something back and gets into arguements and fights and stuff .. she always cries and stuff and complains that people make fun of her and i always tell her not to listen and ignore them cause all they want is a reaction but she doesnt listen .. what can i do?? to keep her out of trouble?? to not listen to people and what they say?

When someone is getting bullied, it is best to tell an adult before things get out of control. Whether it's a sibling, a parent, a teacher, a principal. Whoever. It can be anonymously. But it should be done. You are helping her out by doing this. No one should be bullied and getting into fights is not good.

Okay, the issue at hand goes somewhere among these lines. My group of friends is not quite extense, I've had issues with people in the past, which led me to find decent, healthy people. Our group consists of eight people, three girls and five guys. I love hanging around them and all, but sometimes my guy friends ditch me because they are not around, or sometimes our girl friend( one in specific ) would tell them they shouldn't go out with me and a bunch of girls ( to set an example ) or she'd get mad, at that point they cancel out on me and it drives me crazy. I feel like I have no friends right now and it's driving me crazy, Any advice on how to handle the situation?

I'm not sure how old you are, but these things happen a lot in high school. There's always drama and different situations, especially between girls. You have to drop it and focus on school, sports, a club, anything else. To be honest with you, I barely talk to anyone from high school. We all go to different colleges and have new friends. This stuff won't even matter after graduation. Be friends with people you care about but more importantly, who care about you. If they don't, move on and hang out with other people.

I want to buy this for my boyfriend, can some one please tell me if this is any good!

http://www.jbhifi.com.au/car-sound-gps-navigation/sub-woofers/cadence/600-watt-sub-amp-combo-sku-52575/

Looks good, but you should Google reviews on it. That way you can see if people generally like it or not.

i've been going out with my boyfriend for eight months and he recently found out that i cheated on him i know that was wrong and i feel really bad about it but he forgave me for it and were together but now it's like he can't trust me and he said we should forget about it but everytime we have a fight he brings this up how do i get him to trust me again and prove to him that i love him?
i'm 17/f and he's 19/m
thanks guys

You can't get him to trust you. It's something he has to do on his own. You guys should take a break. Admit what you did is wrong but explain how you feel about him and your relationship.
