What's better..

Ipod Mini that holds 1,000 songs
or
Ipod Mini that holds 1,500 songs

It's a $50 difference and I'm wondering if it's worth the 500 songs, and if anyone has one please let me know what types of problems you've had if you've had any

If you love music and know a lot of songs, then you should go with the Ipod MIni that holds 1,500 songs. I think it's worth the $50 because 500 songs is a lot of you think about it and you are sort of saving money if you go with the mini that holds 1,500 songs.

It's up to you, both of these minis are great but if you like music a lot, then go with the mini that holds the most songs.

The only problem that I can think of if you get an Ipod Mini is when your files corrupt and you won't be able to listen to the songs on the mini again and you might have to get a new one.

Aww, that really sucks. He probably didn't want to come over to your house because like he said, he hasn't been to a girl's house in forever. If he did come over, he probably was afraid that he may do something. You really need to talk to him and ask him why he changed his mind of coming over to your house. There has to be a reason. Your boyfriend seems really nice and sweet.

How do I download my pictures off my computer on to dvd disk

If you have a CD burner, put a black CD or DVD disk into the CD burner slot, and go to your pictures folder, and save them to the CD. That's what I do. If that doesn't work, then I don't another way, sorry.

I just got my report card this past friday. It said that my grade point average is 3.95 which is really good. but when i started look at what i got (A A-) it said I had straight A's, A-'s A+'s and I was confused. I get to see my grade a week before they come out, and my science teacher said i was getting a B- then, on the report card it said A+...i don't understand that..can someone explain?
TarA

The only thing that I can think of that can explain this is if you have taken a few tests after you say your grades before your report card came out, then this may have made your grade go up. Or your teachers just told you that you got a B- to make things difficult. My teachers do that all the time.

Okay, about a year ago I realized i had like pink/red lines on my inner thighs. i didnt think anything of it but now there are A LOT!! and there dark red and if u look at them at an angle it looks like ridges!! Please tell me what this is!!
*thanks* I'll rate!

Those pink/red lines on your inner thighs are stretch marks and everyone gets them if a particular body part of their's grows too fast and your skin can't catch up with the growth.

If you want to get rid of them, simple rub cocoa butter or Vitamin E cream over your skin, where these lines are and they will fade away soon.

for two years now i have been having white discharge my mum started at 16 and im 13 but i still think im going to start my period,
I go swimming every day which means i would have to where a tampon,where do you insert it, does it hurt and how often should you change it?
Also how long does a period last for and how often does it ocur, plz help thanx

Using and wearing a tampon doesn't hurt at all, you just have to get used to it but they are comfortable and you won't feel it. You insert it in your vaginal hole (the second hole) and you change it every 2-5 hours, depending on your flow. Every girl's period is the same but when you start your period, it will be irregular, meaning you don't know when it will come and how long it will last. Periods usually last from 2-8 days and they come every 28 days.

My friend IMed this to me.. i asked him what it meant.. and he told me to look it up.. except, it doesnt make sense.. He said its latin..
soo here it is:

Amor vincit omnia
Odi et amo


Thank you so much to anyone that can help!!

They are two different phrases, that's why this didn't make sense to you when you read them together.

Amor vincit omnia means "Love conquers all" and Odi et amo means "I hate her, I love her."

the other day i was on my advice column abd it said i'd been rated 9 times with an average rating of 5. today i went on it again and it said i'd only been rated 5 times with an average rating of 4.8. what happened?

Your ratings only count for 30 days and the ones that are older than 30 days aren't included in your overall rating. Someone had to have rated you a rating below a 5 in the past 30 days so that's why your rating went from a 5 to a 4.8. Check out http://advicenators.com/faq.php?f=25 for more information.

What are some good exercises/stretches that focus on toning your butt/thighs? I mean easy things, not complicated ones that I could never do. I already run everyday because of track, so is there anything else you can think of? Thanks a lot!

Some exercises that tone your butt/thighs are squats, lunges, leg lifts, bicycling, roller blading, and any other activities that tone your butt/thighs. If you want to know more, check out http://www.toneteen.com.

As for stretches, I don't know any that will focus on toning your butt/thighs, sorry.

hey my lips are always dry and i dont know why. i have to lick them all the time to keep them wet. they arent chapt so i dont need chap stick, but what should i do? i rate high

Try putting Vaseline over them. That always helps me. Or you can buy a regular chapstick that has a moisturizer in it and that will keep your lips from getting dry.

Hey does anyone know what that song is called with the little midget or chipmunk singing in the beginning. the "lonley, i'm so lonely: song. what's it called? i know it's by Akon but idk what it's called.
Also, does anyone know where i can find that music video if there is one?

The song is called "Lonely" by Akon and you can find the music video for it at http://www.musicvideocodes.com but if it's not there, I can give you the regular music code for it. Just let me know if you need it.

for around 2 years now i have had this white stuff in my knickers.. what is it and what dus it mean??
My mum started her period when she was sixteen ad im 13 so i neva thought i meant i was gonna started my period soon

That white stuff is called discharge and you get it because it's just another way for your body to clean itself. It doesn't mean anything but if your discharge starts to become heavier, then your period is on its way. Not all girls start their period at a particular age; some start early and some start late. You'll get your period eventually, don't worry. Just start wearing pantyliners so your discharge won't be a mess.

Ok, I think the name of the song is called Helana..Does anyone know a code I can get for the song NOT the video!Also, it has to work on myspace.
Thanks!

Well, here is the URL or code for the song "Helena" by My Chemical Romance: (I had to get rid of it).

If I have to delete it, since it will mess up my column, go to http://cdzinc.com/16K/rock/M_R/mychemicalromance.html and right click on the "PLAY~" next to Helena and go to "Properties" and copy the URL.

Or you can go to http://www.xanga.com/NuMbA1_MuSiC_sOuRcE, and search for a website on there under "Alternative Rock/Punk".

Then you just paste the URL into the music code or however you use it for your MySpace.

Ok I kinda like these to guys who are in the grade below me. I mean when I'm away them.. it's just my flirt meter goes off! And like I'm jelious when other girls are around this one guy. Is it wrong to like a younger guy? Is it stupid to go out with a younger guy?

It's definitely not wrong to like a guy who is younger than you and it's not stupid at all to go out with them. Age doesn't matter when it comes to dating; it's just that people make a big deal but if you like a guy, then that's what matters.

14+f ...all right.. well I dont like hugging people.. i just dont.. like after achieving something amazing.. or saying hello/goodbye... i just HATE giving hugs and try to avoid them.. like.. i dont know.. I think i'm just afraid... is there like something wrong with me??


-Anti-Hug Person

Nope, there is nothing wrong with you. Some people just don't like to give hugs and want their space and you're just one of those people, which is normal, don't worry. When you get older, this will change.

You should pack a pair of jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, capris, skirts, bathing suits, flip flops, a light jacket (in case it rains), and a few other things. It gets cool at night but it may rain when you are in Florida but it is warm also.

if you have sex (and your a girl) and you have a physical. you know what the look down there so see if everything is alright. can see tell just from looking that you have had sex? and how

Well, if you get a physical from your regular doctor, then they shouldn't look at your genitals but if you get a physical from a gynecologist, then yes, they can tell if you have had sex. When you have sex for the first time, usually, your hymen will break (or your cherry will pop) and they will assume that you have had sex. But you can always tear your hymen by doing other things too such as inserting a tampon in wrong, riding a bike, sitting wrong, and so on. But if you have sex and you were stretched out, then the gynecologist will know you have had sex. If they ask you, then you should tell them and they won't tell your parents without your permission.
