I am having trouble, I'm babysitting for my neighbor. This one baby is very weird! She like poops every 5 mins. I do not want to change her diaper(that white thing that goes on her butt so she doesnt poop or pee in her pants). I am in the middle of watching a movie and she keeps crying. She has a brother too and he does the same thing(they are twins). It is crazy madness I tell you! So please help me and answer me ASAP! Tell me what I should do !!!! thank you!

Call the mother or if they left the pediaterican (sp?) number call that. They can tell you what to do. That's the best I can do sorry. ♥ good luck

Well, this is probably one of the most random questions I personally have ever asked. I love Panera's French Baguette (sp?) it's basically a long loaf of french bread. It is by far the best bread ever. But, getting to my question, I buy the bread when it is nice and fresh so it's warm and soft. After about 2-3 days, the bread gets hard. Is there any way to prevent the bread from getting hard? I had to put it in the microwave just to make it soft enough to bite into! I can't bite into hard things because I have braces and they might break off. But can anyone tell me as to how I can keep the bread from getting hard and virtually unedible? Thanks!

Maybe you can get a bread box. A bread box is simply something you store bread in to keep fresh. I also have the same problems with a type of walfes. What you can do is put it in a toaster oven for about 5 minutes before you store it. It should stay pretty crispy. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

ok, this will be my 2nd vday with my boyfriend and i want this one to be extra special. i bought him a bunch of candy already, might buy him a cd and i'm baking him cookies. anyone know any cute ideas for vday? please share...thanks

What your doing so far is good. I'll just tell you a cute idea that works a lot. Get him a big chocolate (I've been butchering this with all the v-day questions...can't remeber how to spell) kiss. Then on top leave him a little note saying something like: "If I could give you a kiss for everytime I thought of you there would be no chocolate left in the world. So I got you the biggest one". Or if you want it to be about an actual kiss you can say: "A kiss is just a kiss unless it's with the one you love. So this kiss is the biggest one to my ONLY one." Yeah there kinda corny but sweet. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

I'm a really shy, boring, ugly girl. Don't say I'm not ugly, believe me, I look awful - frizzy hair, horrid skin, big teeth - you'd be sick if you saw me. I don't have a life. I don't ever go out or have fun anymore because the friends I have are so immature and I don't really like going out with them because they always end up bullying me or asking random guys out for me, it's so embarrassing, and the boys say something like, "No way, she's a minger". I can't make more friends because I hate talking so much and I feel sick just thinking about it. I have 2 best ever friends in the world but I moved house and I can only speak to them on the phone, I want to move back because I hate it here - but my mum won't budge. I really want a boyfriend and I'm lonely but I'm so ugly and boring that no guy would ever be interested. Why is it I'm so ugly, what have I done to deserve this? I hate being me. I don't know what to do because I can't change the way I look and I've always been shy. I'm 14 and never had a bf, and I know I'm not the only one who hasn't but I feel ready. No boy would ever like me :/ I don't really see the point in life because I never have fun, every week is the same, and my grades are slowly going down at school because I can't sleep at night any more. I just want to feel loved.. sorry if that sounds pathetic but that's what I feel like. They say there's someone for everyone out there, but I guess some people were made to be single. I don't want to be single, and with Valentine's Day coming up I feel even more depressed. Also if you can help, I really need to 'let myself go', like I want to have fun but I get worried I'll look stupid so I don't do it, how can I stop being scared of everything Sorry I have so many stupid problems but please help :'(

You need a confidence boost. Guys don't like girls who are always hard on themselves. Talk with your mom and your real friends' moms. See if you guys can get together sometime because it would deffienatly help you to see some people who can listen to you. Maybe your school consuler could help you with the low self estem. To get a guy just be yourself. Go up to him and ask him with confidence. You will find someone. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

P.S.- Use this quote from a song. One of my best teachers who left to be a school guidence consuler had us listen to a song that had this in it on her last day. It helps me and it can help you:

"Now can't you see life's easy if you look at things in another way in another point of view"

Good luck with everything!

well i have a friend and these are her problems: B.O., dandruff, doesnt brush her hair OR teeth, has a big belly AND doesnt know about any of this. how can i help her without being really mean???? please help! ill rate 5s for answers that dont piss me off!

Everyone has said it, but like invite her places like a salon or give her a make over. The big belly is something you have to live with and can't pester her about because some people are just big. But you should just invite her out one day to get everything done. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

It's winter time and I'm very white and I can't stand it!! A lot of people I see in my school are super tan because they go tanning and stuff! I want to go, there is this place up the street I can go to but I don't want to look like a weird o going in there not knowing what to do or anything about it...I got some questions if anyone can help out, it'd be great! How much does it cost usually...I know you have to keep going back and stuff how much does it usually cost! And also how long do you have to keep going back?? And any other useful info! Oh yeah I know it causes cancer or w/e...I don't need a lecture about that lol kk

I know you don't want a lecture but if this was my mom and she saw this question she would cry. April 11th 2002 (maybe one). My aunts last day on earth. Tanning salons. No sun screen. She was probably a teen like you, not a care in the world. March 2nd 2002 (maybe one). The last day I ever saw her. Do you want to know why? Because she didn't want my brother or me to see the effects it does to your body. But i have a picture. Skinny everywhere. Yellow skin. The pain drove her crazy. She would call for my mom, grandma, grandpa, uncle, and even my dad, brother, and I sometimes. You could tell she barely had much more time in her life. Give me a one I could care less. I just want you to know what it could do. It's your saving grace. Use it wisely.
Oh about your feedback you didn't offend me at all. I just wanted you to know the facts so you don't get hurt.

Im going out with this guy i really like but when ever we talk on the phone theirs nothing to talk about. I dontknow wht to do it can get akward. Im not shy im far from that anyone would say that but its just i cant think of anything to say can you help?

Start a topic about something you both enjoy. Or something you don't. Just talk about something you have in common. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

13-Male----everyone says im the nicest person in the entire school,(as in i get snacks for the bb games and i open doors and stuff),but still everyone is mean to me. they pretend to like me when im doing something nice but right after that its back to the mosters once again. and just to say this isn't one of those situations where uc an say, just igrone them. its about 50 something ppl.It might be that i was really wierd like 4 years ago but it hasnt helped. It's gotten so bad that I can't even try to get a g/f. help meeeeeeeee.

Next time this happens turn around and ask the person who is being rude "why don't you like me?". If they make up something or say I do like you tell them you want the truth. Be forceful in your tone while you ask. Don't let them get you down. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

okay there are two girls who are really pretty who are in my grad(7th). but heres the problem, o dont know who to choose! both think im really funny but one has a popular bf but hes not that handsomeand i can tell shes losing interested in him. the other girl is free but has a crush on every "cute" boy in the class. there also both really popular. so my question is which one? p.s. i rate high for an answer that deosnt piss me off.

We get a lot of questions like these on this site. But that has nothing to do with this question.

Anyway which one can you see yourself with more? Go ahead 30 years from now. Pretend there is an off chance you will be with one of them. Which one do you see yourself with? That's the one you go with. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

tommorow at school we'll have to do a run for 12 minutes and i have a soar throat. if i run for that amount of time my throat will taste like blood and i dunwant to make it worse so what can i do to fix my soar throat?

Talk to your gym teacher or school nurse about it. They may let you skip it if it's really bad. If they don't let you skip it ask them if you can bring some water along with you. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

Do you think its wrong for a tenth grader to like a seventh grader even if the seventh grader is supposed to be in eighth grade? Im a female tenth grader and theres this male seventh grader thats hella kewl....what do you think?

Well it's not illegal and there's not a big difference. So go for it. Anyways if you love him then it's not weird at all.

A Valentine Dance is coming up and I'm nervouse to ask someone out. I usally give advice, but now I need some one to help me ask a girl out.


Nervouse

Try asking them out online or through a note. That way you don't have to do it in person. Some people say it's better to get over your fears but it may be easier to write down what you want to say. Or you can have a friend do it for you. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

I invited a friend to come with me on April vacation and my other friend is meeting me there with her fam! but now all our other friends are pissed! and talking behind my back and stuff calling me not their friend! What do i do?! I didnt mean to hurt ANYONES feelings!! i just chose my best friend to go with me.

Talk to your other friends. Say how it isn't your fault about your friend meeting you there. And explain why you chose your best friend to come. Promise them you'll chose more randomly next time so you won't hurt anyone's feelings. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

what does IM mean??? i've been told to IM someone... i'm confused!!! lol. is it some american thingy??? coz i'm australian.

IM means instant message. Instant message is like an e-mail but is recieved faster. How it works is two people who have "screen names" talk to each other live without having to wait as long as you have to in an e-mail. I hope I helped!

do you believe in soul mates?

Yes. If you don't get divorced during marriage or get divoreced and get together again I think you are pretty good for each other if not soul mates.

do you think it is weird that a 17 year old is going out with a 13 year old, even if they love eachother more than anything in the world?

I'm sorry but next year it's going to be illegal for you two to go out. Maybe even this year. There's only a 4 year difference so if you can wait a few years it can work out. My parents have a nine year difference. Just wait it out maybe life will be on your side. ♥ good luck

OK I'm really in love with my ex, but he doesn't love me. He flirts with another girl which causes me to get jelious, and I try to flirt with him but he doesn't wanna know and I feel my whole life is falling apart because of it my friends say i should be over him but all i can think about is him

Find something you really hated about him and laugh about it. Ask yourself how you could like a guy with that quality. Even though he probably has other qualties that are good just focus on that one. And find someone better or just someone else you can like. Also find an activity to do to take your mind off it. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

This site sucks. The moderators do a crappy job of filtering stupid questions, people reply with asshole answers with no reprecussions, and most of these people give crappy advice. Why cant the mods or anyone make this site worth comming to? Why do most of your guys's answers suck, and why do some of you have to be assholes?

Don't blame it all on the mods. It's not all our fault we're doing the best we can. And if you don't like the site no one said you had to be on it. There's a section in the FAQ that deals with this go there. http://advicenators.com/faq.php?f=83
The people that give bad advice and are rude get banned. If they're not banned already send an abuse report. Don't make all of us do you're work if you don't like something go tell advice_admin.

Would you share with me your words of wisdom? I'm 20 and I just want to hear from anyone the important lessons in life they have learned so far.
It could be about work, love life, spirituality, money matters, passions, dealing with problems, beauty routine/secrets, etc. thanks!

It's not what you learn from a person, it's the effect they leave on you.

Time is percious that's why it's given to us one moment at a time.

k so last year i was really obsessed with pink and i re-decorated my room so that it is all pink and like green (way more pink though) i really like the colors orange and yellow but my parents said that I can't paint my walls another color for at least 3 years! also i probably shouldn't get a different bed spread because for 3 years in a row i have gotten a new bed spread so i think it might be getting a little ridiculous! if you have any ideas of places to get good decorating stuff that is orange or yellow please tell me (and please be specific cause i rate really well!) thank you so much

I don't know if you have one in your area but a really good store is Dry Ice. They have every color so if you get tired of yellow and orange you can change again.
