How many people here look to get more than one answer to their question(s) or try to get as many as they can. And lets say you get only one answer and that answer is the right one do you wait and see if you get any more responses or are you happy with just that one you got. (link)
|
Wow. You think a lot.
-Yes I'd definitely wait for more responses. We like to keep our options open.
-I usually post my question in public. But if it's a question which I think my fav columist specialises in, I'd post my question to him/her and if he/she can't help much, I'd post it in public. No columnist here and in fact, no one is a know-it-all.
-If that private question wasn't well answered by my fav columnist at the 5th or Xth time, I won't mark them down. I just won't ask them for further advice on the similar type of questions.
-I don't act like the problem I posted never existed. Frankly speaking, I am someone who doesnt forget my problems easily. I'd put their advice into practice and slowly and gradually, I'll solve it bit by bit. But I won't forget the problem and pretended it never existed. It'll become like a memory for me. And a really good memory if it's a problem that I've managed to overcome.
Sometimes it's a good thing to remember the problems we've faced and solved. It boosts our confidence and makes us feel proud of ourselves for overcoming them.

how many crunches a day should i do to get a flatter stomach? will i loose the size of my breasts? cause that is out of the question. andhow many sets should i do? any adivice at alll will help. thanks so much (link)
|
60 crunches a day should be enough. But do space it out. Do 30 in the morning and another 30 at night. Keep at it everyday if you want a flatter stomach. You must really tell yourself to perservere for at least 10 weeks. Motivate yourself by telling yourself the toned abs you'll get at the end of the day.
And no, you wont lose the size of your breast. If you do, then I don't think you're doing crunches in the right way at all. The size of your boobs will be affected by things like push ups, swimming, etc.

Yes. How does it feel when you pull out a sticker that is stuck to your arm?

My best guy friend has this friend that's a girl that I highly dislike. They weren't friends from August til now. I think they're starting to be friends again, which really sucks for me. The reason he stopped being her friend in August was because she would keep bringing him places far away, like theme parks, etc. Then she'd leave without him knowing. I always went and got him, even when it was about 2 hours away. Why he wants to be her friend again I do not know. :/ How can I deal with this? For some reason it bothers me very much, to the point where I cry every night, hyperventilate and what not. I have told him, so what else can I do? Thank you. (link)

The reason why you are reacting so strongly could be either
1) You are a highly possesive person who doesn't like to share your good friends with others
2) You could have fallen for him
It is very difficult to differentiate between 1) or 2) and I can't tell you if you're 1 or 2.
First of all, accept this reality: It is very difficult to make people do wat we want.
Actually I was thinking, why are you so upset with the girl? Cos you didnt say much bout her except bout the theme park thing and quite frankly speaking, it isn't such a big deal. I don't know, perhaps there are other major things for you to get upset with.
Since you've talked to him bout it already, you should just leave him be. As you've said before, he did stop being her friend for a period of time. That means he must've doubted their friendship. I guess he went back to being her friend probably cos he wanted to give her a second chance. People can get soft-hearted at times.
If she's really such a bad person, then eventually he'll come to realise tt. Everyone will. It's just a matter of time. If you've done all you could (such as bitching bout her and telling him how vehemently you reacted) to prevent him from being her friend and yet he still continues to hang out with her, then it really means that you should give him a break. Just let him realise what a horrible friend she is by himself. Sometimes people need to be slapped in their face before they know what pain is. Also, maybe you should give the girl a chance? Maybe she isn't such a bad person?
She might have been inconsiderate for doing that theme park thing to your best friend but maybe she has her reasons for doing so? Like she probably couldnt find him and got strayed from him while playing in the theme park?
Don't get yourself so stressed up over this situation. You are only making yourself miserable. Him making one more friend doesn't make him less of a best friend to you. Sometimes, we gotta let go and not be so possessive. There's really no harm done to you and his friendship when he hangs out with her right? Everyone has the right to do what they feel is correct. So let him be, don't get so agitated. Since he's your guy best friend, then I'm sure you two share the same beliefs in what constitutes a good friendship. So let him be. Once he realises that the girl's not a good friend, he'll leave her sooner or later.

what does "(sp?)" means :S sorry i just don't seem to get it lol
(link)
|
It means that they aren't sure of the correct spelling.
Eg: reading
readding(sp?)
But sometimes they've actually spelt it correctly but just aren't sure of it.
(sp?) = (spelling?) = (is my spelling correct?)

I just settled in a new city and my son thinks it's time I began to date again. I'd like to know where the good men are, the ones who are kind and considerate, who have good jobs and have, or have had, families of their own in the past. I don't want married men; I don't want abusive men. I don't want to go to bars because I'm afraid all I'll meet are guys who hang out in bars, and I already have one alcoholic ex-husband! I have a good job, make good money, and am a darned interesting and intelligent person. Where should I go to meet "my kind" of guy? (link)
|
It is very difficult to answer your question, honestly. You asked "where" should you go to meet your kind of guy, and I'm like..wat?? Are you asking whether you should go to new york or whether you should freqent cafes, antique shops, etc?
Whatever the case, no one can tell you where to meet "your kind" of guy. Of cos, everyone loves a kind husband and hates a violent one. In every place and country, there will be a good (or maybe unequal?) mix of good and bad guys, and it all really depends much on luck/fate whether you can meet the right guy. I'd say don't push it, just go on doing your daily stuff and if you meet a nice guy, grab him. Get to know him more then. Socialising and widening your circle of friends is key.

ok im about 5'8" and i weight about 170. how can i lose that weight? also i want to get more muscle mainly on my arms because i really dont have arm muscle. i would really appriaciate the help. (link)
|
Hi I'm a girl, but my guy friends said that push ups build up their arm muscles- spider style push ups. You should know what that means right? IF you dun, inbox me=)
The best way to lose weight and tone your body is swimming. It broadens your shoulders as well.
Try to do specific exercises that will tone up the flabby parts of your body.
Eg:
Badminton - tones your arms and legs
jogging - tones legs mainly
sit up - gives your abs
|
|
ok. if your so called "BEST FRIENDS" never called you, always stood you up with phone calls, and made you feel like you weren't their friend, what would you do? (link)
|
I won't hanker after them. If they dun wanna talk to me, hang out with me, share stuff with me and treat me with respect, I'd try to salvage the situation first. I'd try to find out wat's wrong.
But if the problem lies with them and not me, like for eg, if they've found new frens to hung out with, I'd just leave it. No point hankering after them. Try to find out what's wrong first and don't get mad or too sensitve bout it b4 knowing the truth.
|
|
Do you think the reason people only dwell on comments that were made to them because the comments made to them is on the topics they are sensitive about and not on the ones they are NOT sensitive about. (link)
|
Definitely. Why would someone be bothered bout something that doesn't bother them?
Like if you aren't fat, but people tell you you're fat, you wont dwell on it. You'll just forget the comment cos you're not bothered by your weight.
But if you're conscious bout let's say your nose, you'll deff care bout what everyone has to say bout your nose cos you're insecure bout it. And since you can't give yourself assurance, you turn to listening to the others for assurance or opinions.

Today for Christmas, I got $110 and I already had $80, so now I have $190. Well I was thinking of buying this Coach purse for myself: http://www.coach.com/content/product.aspx?product_no=3337&category_id=460 in the brass/khaki/camel color and I was wondering if its a waste of money for $138? Anyone who has it please tell me if it is worth buying and if it has good quality. Please dont say ask my parents to buy it for me or ask anyone else to buy it for me because they sure bought a lot of expensive things for me for Christmas. Thanks!
~Merry Christmas! (link)
|
I don't have that purse. But I can tell you that 138 bucks is way too ex for a coach purse. I would save it up first and think carefully if I really need to spend it right now.
Buy things that you really need and within a reasonable price.

Ok i have naturally straight hair. So my way to scrunch it is after i take a shower i towel dry, brush it out, put mouse and gel all over my hair and put it up into 2 tight buns and sleep with them. The next morning i take it out, blow dry a bit and add more mouse and gel and hairspray.
PROBLEM: it only stays curly for like 1 or 2 hours and then it starts getting straight or slighty wavy and it loses that "wet look" .. i want my hair to last for a WHOLE DAY at school. Any advice? Thanks!! (link)
|
Tie your hair way HIGH up into one big ponytail
Use curlers instead.
When you're done, your head should like it is balancing a pineapple.
Do what you do in the morning, and you should get curly hair that stays longer.
|
|
Ok I dont mind if people (mother, fathers, sisters, brothers, etc) have their own opinions but I dont like them forcing them on someone else (meaning me). Any suggestion(s) on how I not get upset when someone (meaning a family member) does that to me? (link)
|
Don't flare up instantly when you sense that they are forcing their opinion on you.
Think bout this first.
1)Why are they forcing their opinion on you? Is it for your own good?
2)Or are they just being narrow minded and refusing to take a more objective view on the issue?
If its (1), always listen to them. Parents are, most of the time, correct.
But if its (2), you should really stand up to your own opinion and stick to it. You don't have to get mad at them. Reason with them and be persuasive. If they still refuse to budge, leave it. Don't continue the conversation if voice levels are starting to rise. Walk away when you start to get really mad and go cool down.
You have to keep telling yourself: No one other than yourself can force you to change your mind. There's no need to get upset. If you get upset, you'll be unable to think rationally and when you flare up, your folks will think that you are incapable of handling your own affairs; and it'll convince them even more that they should handle your life.
If they're being downright unreasonable
*keep cool
*reason it out
*leave it to them to accept or reject
*carry on with your beliefs
If they're correcting you to make you a better person
*keep cool
*try to compromise
*understand where they're coming from
*improve yourself

how do I know if the poem I wrote is really a poem? I think it's pretty good, but it's more of a short, flowy sounding, deep story. It doesn't rhyme or anything and i'm wondering if I should consider it a poem or a story? (link)
|
There are many different types of poems.
Eg:
Sonnet
-14 line poem
-follows strict rhyming pattern
Free verse
-unrhymed lines with no regular rhyming pattern
But to most people, poem-illiterate people especially, they know poems to be short phrases/lines where the last word of line 1 rhymes with that of line 2, last word of phrase 3 with that of phrase 4 and so on...
I know of the existing types of poems but I don't classify my poem as a limerick, sonnet or whatever shit.
A poem to me is simply something which
-is catchy
-is bout 10-14 lines
-not necessarily has to be deep
-not necessarily has to rhyme
If I were you, I'd consider it to be a poem. =)

i have sooo many blackheads on my nose.. can anyone give me some really good products to get rid of them? and where do you buy them? thanks so much!:) (link)

I use Biore Pore Pack. I get them from Watsons and Guardian. Does your country have these outlets? Or you could try walmart.

Ok well my friend just got a new chocolate phone (green), and today at lunch she said- do you want to see my new phone, I said- I don't care about your fucking phone, she got mad at me. and I knew she just wanted to show it to me to rub it in my face. She knew I wanted one. She's that kind of a person. ok so now she's pissed off at me because of that, stupid I know. Ok do I appologize or what I would like to do is punch her in the face. (I will to) what should I do. (link)
|
Oh yes, my favourite type of question.
I don't see a need to apologise. She needs someone to slap her out of conceitedness. I'll talk to her as per normal when she's a nice friend and all; but if she starts getting on my nerves with her bitchiness again, I'll just say "Mm. Ok." and continue to talk bout other stuff.
Or, I'll roll my eyes at her and talk to my other friends. Don't have to get mad at her. She'll only get happier cos you're showing your jealousy.
Or, you could be humourous bout it.
For eg, like when she waves the phone infront of you, take it away from her and say "hey great gift! thanks!". Just keep taking the phone away from her and pretending to keep it in your pocket if she keeps waving it or flashing it infront of you. It'll irritate the crap out of her. Guaranteed.

I got my hair cut really short, about as short as the hair in the middle picture right here:
http://www.mirage.halland.net/stargazer_frisor/sgw104-39.jpg
I have very thick black hair.
I'm trying to get it to cup in towards my face, like the middle pic, but I go to sleep and it falls out of shape in the morning completely. Whenever I go to sleep, my hair always gets completely messed up. It always gets contorted in all different directions and it takes me an hour to get it back the way it was the night before.
So I tried flipping the edge out, like in the picture on the right....and it still comes out in the morning.
I've tried everything- I've tried blow-drying it on rollers, a curling iron....my hair still looks all screwed up in the morning. Weird thing is....when I got it cut, the hairdresser just blow-dried it and it DIDN'T fall apart in the morning.
Does anyone know what I can do so my hair won't fall apart in the morning?

It's usually most difficult to tame your hair at or near shoulder length.
If your hair's naturally curly, you'll have to put in more effort in making it cup inwards.
Here's what you can do
-There's a technique to blow drying your hair so that it stays cupped. When you use a hair-dryer tgt with a comb, you can't just move the hairdryer over your hair without pausing at a region till it dries almost completely.
You have to keep the hair dryer at a particular spot for a while before moving on to the next.
-Use a brush instead of a fine teeth comb. A fine teeth comb introduces static electricity which causes your hair to jut out in all directions.
-If it's still messy in the morning, tie a half pony tail and tame the other half of your hair. It'll be easier since you're dealing with a lesser amount of hair
-Wet the ends of your hair only and comb thru it inwards with a brush.
Occassionally hand-comb your hair inwards
-Try not to wear collared shirt cos it'll tend to make your hair jut out even more.

im only 14 years old and i've been thinking about sex a lot lately. but see i haven't even gotten my first kiss yet so i'm like really screwed up (link)
|
Haha. Hey girl/dude, you're screwed up just cos of that? Honestly, you've got to widen your choice of activities.
You can masturbate to curb your sexual urges. Besides, it's healthy. No one here can assure you when you'll get kissed or when you'll do it. There's seriously more to life than just kissing and sex. Cliche but true. You can go talk and gossip bout it with your friends bout this. It'll make a nice gossip topic.
And btw, it's really hard to help you with this question. How would you answer it if you were the one seeing it?

im not sure if this is in the right catagorie or not.. sorry.. well i just recently got a tatoo and i was just wondering, what do i do if people start talking about it because im worried they will because of what it is.. ((its a playboy bunny and its on the back of my shoulder..)) (link)
|
Hey that's original. And I kinda like it. People over at my place here like to tattoo dragons or chinese words. *yawn* -boring-.
You got the tattoo that you wanted so come on! Aren't you excited bout it? And hey, you've got yourself a new fan - me!- So cheer up!
If people talk bout it, let them. You can react by smiling nicely and being humbly-proud bout it. Or you could be non-chalant and cool bout it. There's no need to be sheepish bout it cos you're entitled to do what you want. And your school mates know that.
I hope I've helped. =)
