you gave someone the prawn idea for revenge, and said you knew a lot more evil things to do to people. could you give me some more cool ideas?

*cracks knuckles*
Ok, lets get it on.
It depends who you're trying to get back on, and you have to tailor your prank to suit the target. First of all, try and be funny, rather than just malicious- that way they wont get any sympathy off anyone else. Lets see... I found out the other day that carp can survive chlorinated water for about a week. You can buy one from pet stores so if they have a pool you could really ruin their day. Sign them up for junk mail, but be specific. You want free samples of embarassing products which aren't sent in unmarked packaging- try the internet. Put little tiny stones in the hubcaps of their car cos the noise will drive them crazy. Write messages on their lawn in paint thinner. Cancel all their credit cards (its easier to do than you think, all the major ones have specific numbers to call).

And just for you, since you asked so nicely, here's one I only heard yesterday. Apparently if you put a condom in a petrol tank it sinks down over the exit valve, stopping the car. His car will go start/stop/start/stop and it'll drive him crazy. The best thing is that condoms break down in petroleum, so by the time he takes it to get fixed, the problem will have 'mysteriously' disappeared. Meh, or just stuff sugar in there, whatever works.

hey im a 17 year old girl i have a boyfriend how is to much with me but i think hes a woosse... in the way that if im not with him every minute of every day he gets bitchy... if i ask for a night off he bitches... cryies you name it... he does it.. and it just makes me feel bad... and he wins... i feel like im in jail... he says he dosnt mind but the next day he says i hated it and makes me feel bad like i dont what to do... hes driving me insane... and when i try talking abt it he just makes me feel bad... i need help

Everyone else's advice on this had been great, but i have one tiny suggestion. Next time he's clingy or wussy just look him straight in the eye and say.... "Man, you are a total wuss/girl/man- bitch. Grow up a little."
Trust me, insult his manly pride and he may wise up a little. If not, go with everyone else's advice and dump the pansy.

What are some good revenge things for evil people?

Find something they own and use often e.g. a car, and bag, a favourite item of clothing. Buy yourself a packet of fresh, frozen prawns. Take a prawn and place it in or around the item, somewhere they wont find it (ie, under a car seat, in the lining of a bag or jacket). After a few days the prawn will begin to go bad, and stink like you wouldn't believe. Hopefully they wont be able to figure out where the smell is coming from, until they smell is irremovable and their popularity has plummeted. Hope that works, if not, I have a whole bunch, so ask me a few more questions.

im gonna be going on vacation..and i was just wondering if theres any way to regulate your period..i mean who wants to go on vacation while meenstrating? sometimes my cycles get screwy...i just dont want to menstrate while i go on vacation

My girlfriend uses the contraceptive daily pill and one of the main reasons (apart from the obvious) is that it means she has a level of control over when her... stuff... goes on. I'm not that well informed (this stuff scares me) but i know that you can use it to stop menstruating when you don't want to- she had exactly the same problem as you (holiday) and solved it that way.

How long does a pimple last? like on average how many days/weeks is normal

I'd say three weeks is the very limit- any longer than that and its probably a boil rather than a spot. About a week sounds average.

My room is purple. I have a couple things hanging from the cieling an a really cute bed spread. I want some more ideas on how i can make it more decorative. Like what kind of stuff i need on my walls mostly. What colors i need, and stuff like that. i have carpet now, but i want hard wood floors. shoudl i get a light colored wood, or a dark? shoul di put a rug over it? a small on in the middle? or just leave it uncovered? I have no idea what to do i just want my room to be really cute. Please make any suggestions, i could use ANY help that you willing to give weather its a little thing or big.-->ME!

It depends what sort of purple your room is. If its a ligher sort of colour then a lighter wood floor would be ok but if its a darker shade then wooden floors, especially lighet coloured ones, might look a little odd. Bare wood floors can make a room look big and airy but a bit impersonal, so a rug might be a good idea. I hope that helps, 'cos i'm not so hot on interior design, i only speak from experience.

i have a tooth in my mouth that is loose and when i wiggle it and smell my finger, it stinks. kinda embarrassing. IS THIS NORMAL?

If the tooth is loose then it may be an infection in the root, in which case you need to go see a dentist. However it may be that there is a cavity in which a piece of food is stuck, which is causing the smell. Careful flossing can get rid of this, and then continue to floss afterwards. (But watch out, if there is food stuck it may have caused a slight infection, which may bleed and hurt when you floss, but the sooner you get it out the better).

how do i create a budget and stick to it, so that i can save up money and get the things that i want?

You need to balance you incoming against outgoing for a start. First take your income (all the money you recieve monthly, say) and from that take away ESSENTIAL payment eg. bills, insurance, food, welfare etc. This will tell you how much money you have to play around with, and then you can set realistic limits on your spending without worrying about having enough money to make ends meet.

yesterday i was watching tv and i changed tha chanel and it was porn!! i didnt even bother to change it and i wanted to watch it and im 15/f is that normal?!?! i got really horny and i wanted to call my bf to come over! whats wrong with me?!?!

Honestly honey I wish my lover was like you. Porn does nothing for her at all, but my ex used to watch it lots, so its a personal thing. Don't worry about it, and bare in mind that any right minded bloke would LOVE that you liked it.

i want to gain more confidence and have an attitude that gives the impression that i don't give a damn what they say! anyone have any advice that would help me obtain this attitude?

The best way to become confidant is to ignore the disparaging comments of those around you and the best way to do THAT is to learn to laugh at yourself. Recognise your own faults and failures, then realise they don't matter. Being able to use self- deprecating humour makes you seem confident and discourages people from being nasty to you in future.

i hurt my wrist playing volleyball about a month ago. my dad told me it was sprained and it would stop hurting in about a week or so. but my wrist has been hurting for a month. i can't do pushups or lift anything without it hurting. what do u think i've done to it? i rate high!

First of all if its been hurting that long then go see a doctor on your own, who may prescribe an x-ray. If it only hurst when you out weight on it then it might be a green slip (i think i got that right) fracture. If you really can't go to a doctor then maybe a wrist support would help. Any sports store oughta sell an elastic wrist supporter, which will ease the problem and might help it get better. Other than that, just keep weight off it.

I have bumps on my pubic area. Not alot but alittle.
when i pop them puss comes out is this normal is something wrong with me.

If you get spots or acne anywhere on your skin then its probably that (that shit isn't confined to just your face, it can be on any area of skin, worse luck).

I got an iPod for Christmas and I downloaded iTunes and everything! The iTunes works I can listne/download any song! But the prob. is the songs won't transfer to my iPod! PLEASE HELP ME!

Don't iPods come with software you have to install? Like, in the box? Maybe you should look through the packaging again and see if you missed a CD or something. Sheesh.

I realise its been a looooooong time since you asked this question but I just found out something that might be useful. Try reseting your iPod by
1.Plugging it in to charge then
2.Putting it on 'Hold' then back off
3.Holding down either Play/pause and 'Menu' or the centre circle button and 'Menu' until the Apple logo appears

I'm treated pretty badly at school. Like, people pick on me and call me names. I don't do anything to deserve such treatment, and it's been like this since Kindergarden. I have friends and all that, but a lot of people still threaten me and what not. Don't tell me to tell a teacher or what not because they already not yet fail to do a damn thing about it. I can't defend myself because I can't fight, and I don't like making fun of others. If there is any advice people could give me to maybe help me stop the torment, that'd be great.
Thank you for your time,
♥Shattered Soul in Shelby♥

P.S-Don't ask to be rated.

You said you don't like making fun of others and thats to be respected but if these people aren't going to quit then maybe they don't deserve your good will. Maybe its time to hit back? Not as in violence, but just ways to show you aren't to be messed with. Prank 'em- or find their areas of insecurity and mercilessly exploit them. I know it sounds harsh but they don't deserve better from you.

about a month ago..my neck was very itchy..so i started 2 scratch it..nd it got 2 a lil scab..nd i would always peel off the dry skin..and now its like really big!..and dark nd wont go away..i keep puttin my clearasil ultra 3 day acne treatment..and well iono..i juss kant stop peeling tha scab and it just gets worse! any advice?

It sounds like it might be impetigo- a mild skin infection. Even if it isn't your doctor will be able to prescribe antibiotics that will clear it up in no time. First thing though is to stop scratching- it'll only get worse and if it is impetigo its highly infectious.

My boyfriend lives with me, and he's always here (I'm 14/f), that's not the problem though. I just feel like he never really pays attention to me. He's playing video games, or he's on the computer, and I do so much for him, all I want is attention. How do I talk to him, or make him want me more, not even in a sexual way, but I just want attention. How do I tell him this without him thinking I want sex and without him being mad and have it actually work? sorry it's confusing, but I really need advice. I'll rate.

OK plan A is that you mention this to him, sit him down and admit you sometimes feel left out, but make it clear that its not sexual and you aren't trying to control him.
Plan B (and this is the one I'd do) is start doing things with him- find common interests and exploit them. If he wants to sit and play video games let him for a while but them drag him out ice skating or something. Eventually you'll hit on things you both love doing, so you're both having fun and spending time paying attention to each other.

I'm 5'7", and under 100lbs - unrealistically skinny, but unfortunately definite. The only problem is that my stomach is not as flat as it could be, any tips on gaining weight and stomach flattening?

A flat stomach is down to toning, so look to join a gym or do exercises to tone your abdominal muscles. As for gaining weight, don't worry to much about that, just eat sensibly. Go see your doctor, and he'll be able to tell you if you are underweight for your height and build, and whether you have anything to worry about.

okay. well there was this guy i met in west virgina went i went. and we really hit it off i was friends with his sister at first then we started talking and we like kissed and stuff. so i left and all and he was like i love you and i was all like i love you too.. i admit i still kinda like him but he is TOTALLY over me.. he is always telling me about who he likes or his new girlfriend.. i just miss him alot and i dont know what to do!?! PLEASE HELP!

Want him back? Get him back. Flirt and talk like you would with someone you've never been out with before. If that doesn't work, you'll know he's over you.

Why do so many teenagers need relationshp advice, when its blatently obvious all their questions get the same answers- (A) "Don't sleep with him its too early, B) Just be yourself and flirt with him C)He's bein a jerk, don't go out with him)?

I blame television. Not enough exposure to it at an early age. It has far more good advice to give than their own peer group.
