Ever since I got my first tattoo 3 years ago, I have bee dying to get another. I know basically what I want and where I want it at.. but I'm having problems coming up with a design for it?

Basically, I want it to be in pink and black. I want a pink heart, and either inside it, around it, or next to it I want the words 'Everything Happens For A Reason."

So my question is, does anyone know of any websites that have really good examples of pics of tattoos, or maybe a website that will help you design them? I'm really bad at drawing things up & I want this tattoo to look awesome.. since I'm obviously going to have it for the rest of my life.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Try bmeink.com. It's got thousands and thousands of tattoos.

alright well my friend brad does peircings. and my friend sara wanted her tongue done. well brad is really good at it and i recommended him to sara. well last night he peirced her tongue but its a little crooked. i feel bad cause i reccommended him. usually its straight. but he kinda did it crooked. is there anyway she can fix it by herself?

Most tongue piercings are a little crooked. It helps the barbell to lay properly when the mouth is closed. A perfectly straight tongue piercing can be very uncomfortable for some people, and can even stretch the hole when the mouth is closed and the barbell is forced to lay sideways.

Don't feel bad about recommending him. If it's the only one he ever pierced crooked, then it's probably his best one yet.

what does it mean when people are like "touche" in french? its pronounced as "too-shay". and someone said it in a video. they're like "ah, touche". I believe its frenched but what does it mean.. and like how would you say it in real life? in what situation?

Also I just was about to eat this green jellybean, and i bit it and it was hard and i split it open and it looked funny in there... like hardish so i threw it out. it was also shapped bigger and differently than the others. it was also the size of 2 normal jelly beans. did i do the right thing? tho i kinda wanted to eat it, lol

Touche - a French term from fencing (a sword fighting sport). It literally means "touched." When your opponent scores a valid hit, in other words, touches you with the sword (epee), you would say "touche" to acknowldge the hit.

It is used two ways in every day conversation. It is used to admit that a point is true, especially when a person has succesfully countered your logic. It is also used sarcastically when you can't argue against someone's logic. If you imagine an argument as a sword fight, it might make more sense.

And as for your jelly bean... There is a rule to follow when any food seems not quite right. "When in doubt, throw it out."

in like a week or so i'm getting 2 teeth pulled in the back of my mouth. im scared shit because i don't know what to expect. when i'm under the anethesia will i feel any pain? will i feel pain after it's done? is there any way that the anethesia will wear off while they are pulling my teeth out? WHAT IF I DONT WAKE UP FROM THE ANATHESIA??

im sooooo scared i need to know these answers. if you had teeth pulled out tell me EVERYTHING.

Hey, I've had several teeth pulled, so first I'll answer your questions, then I'll let you know what I went through.

First off, you'll most likely get local anesthesia, not general. In other words, you'll get several numbing shots in your mouth instead of being put to sleep.

You don't feel pain with the anesthesia. If for some strange reason you do, tell your doctor immediately. He (or she) will stop and fix the problem. They'll also check to be sure you're numb before they start pulling. You'll feel pain a while after it's done. It takes the anesthesia a while to where off. They may give you pain medication afterwards, or you could request some if they don't offer. The tooth pulling itself goes very quickly. You'll be done long before it wears off.

For my tooth, they first swabbed topical anesthesia on the area so the shots wouldn't hurt so much. Then I got three very slow shots - one in my gum, one in my cheek, and one on the roof of my mouth. The one on the roof of my mouth was the only one that hurt, and the doctor warned me ahead of time that it would. Then the doctor gave me a magazine and left the room to give the it time to numb.

Then he came back in and wiggled my tooth around until he could pull it out. Well, by wiggled I mean he pushed and pulled hard enough to move my head around. And the sound it made was a little gross. But it didn't hurt at all.

Then his assistant packed it with gauze and something else. I was given a pain killer presciption for a week, and I only used half of it. I only even felt a dull ache, but the medicine made it easier to eat and talk.

Hey! On friday teh 13th, some of my freinds are coming over for a scary movie night. The thing is, I don't know some good halloween movies. Does anyone know any good HALLOWEEN movies? I want movies that take place during halloween... but scary ones that don't take place then are good too! PG-13 would help!

I couldn't recall if any of these were set on Halloween, but they are all very good.

RATED R
Psycho
Alien
Aliens
The Shining
Rosemary's Baby
Shaun of the Dead (more of a comedy)
Halloween

The best PG-13 movie I could find was Jaws.

Is it illegal in EVERY state to be asked your hair color or your weight on your State I.D. and Drivers License? I am for certain that it is illegal in some states, but is it an American law that every state must follow?

It's not illegal in any state, some states just don't do it. Those that do not have found that so many people change hair color, weight, and other things so often that there's no point in having it on an ID.

I live in Florida, and my DL only doesn't have height, weight, or hair color. Just a photo, signature, DOB, and name. It wouldn't be illegal for them to ask if they wanted to, though. They just don't.

it's not like i want to know because i smoke pot, i really dont; i was just wondering because someone was talking about it..
but what's the difference between a bong, bowl and pipe??

thnx

Here's an article with some pictures and definitions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_smoking_cannabis

A bong is usually made of glass, but sometimes plastic. You fill the lower chamber with water (and sometimes ice).

A pipe is generally a smaller piece that is mostly shaped like a tobacco pipe. Pipes are usually glass or metal.

The bowl is the part of any smoking piece that holds the marijuana. For distinction, one would usually either "smoke a bowl" or "smoke a joint."

Teens as you know it are using more and more vicodin as drugs and abusing it. When they take it, and is the prescribed to them, what will the side effects of it be? Like sweating, sleepiness, etc

I am assuming that you are asking about taking the perscribed dosage. Here are the positive and negative side effects. Bare in mind that these can differ drastically from one person to another. One person might have many strong side effects, and another almost none at all.

Also, some of these side effects stem from long-term usage. If you would like side effects of a different nature, please let me know.

NEGATIVE

allergic reaction
weak breathing
seizures
clammy skin
severe weakness
dizziness
unconsciousness
yellowing of eyes or skin
unusual fatigue
bleeding or bruising
constipation
dry mouth
nausea or vomiting
decreased appetite
muscle twitches
sweating
itching
hearing loss
decreased urination
decreased sex drive
depressant effects on the central nervous system

POSITIVE

euphoria
pain relief
improvement of mood

Vicodin can also cause withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it.

I got my pallad expander on almost 2 weeks ago and whenever I move my tounge around my mouth the pallad expanders moves and goes up and down and its not in secure place. Is that normal or should I get it checked?

I seem to remember mine staying firmly in place, but that was a long time ago. Before you make an appointment, just call your dentist and see if you can explain the problem and get an opinion over the phone. It's cheaper and quicker.

Well I know I'm putting them in wrong. I can't even get all of it in, I get like half of it in. It's my first time doing this and I don't get why it won't go in all the way!!Please help!!!

It can be pretty hard the first few times, so I have several tips for you.

Try several positions, like sitting on the toilet, squatting, or standing with one leg up on the toilet (that's how I learned).

This is a silly question, but are you on your period? Dryness can prevent you from inserting your tampon all the way.

What kind of tampon are you using? For beginners, I recommend that kind that has an applicator. Hold it between your thumb and middle finger on the ridged part in the middle and insert it all the way to your fingers. With your index finger, press the end of the tube until it meets your first two fingers. That should do it!

If you need any more advise on this, I'll be glad to help!

if you get your ear peirced at the top which one means youre gay and which one means youre straight?

First, it really only matters if it's the lobe. Men (sometimes) pierce the right lobe to show that they're gay. When it's the top, it doesn't really mean anything.

Second...don't pierce the cartilage yourself, ok? They're are too many ways to mess that one up. Take it to a professional. You'll be much happier that way.

Every morning I wake up with deadly breath and a killer taste in my mouth. Even after I brush my teeth, it's still nasty. I don't know what else to do. Even when I brush my teeth before bed I have this problem. Any ideas on how to fight morning breath? (I had no idea what catagory to put this in!)

Bad breath can be caused by many unseen problems. If regular brushing, flossing, and using mouth wash aren't helping the problem, then it is definitely the time to see a doctor or dentist.

From a dental standpoint, chronic bad breath can be caused by an oral disease, most commonly gengivitis. Once you know you have it, it is easily treated with special toothpastes and mouthwashes and a strict dental hygene routine.

You may need to see a doctor if your breath is very bad. Really bad breath (like something is rotting) can be caused by a sinus infection that has descended into the lungs. It can also be caused by acid reflux disease and other stomach diseases.

So, if your breath really doesn't improve and is very bad, you will definitely want to see someone. Most likely, just a change of toothpaste and mouthwash is in order though.

Could someone please describe to me "Planned Parenthood"?

Do they offer abortions?

I don't really understand what it is. I looked at the website and it didn't make sense to me.

I've never been to a Planned Parenthood that offered in office abortions.

Mostly they offer counseling to men and women of all ages. They provide birth control in different forms (pill, patch, condom) along with counseling about abstinence, respecting yourself, and safe sex. They provide free condoms to those who need them.

For pregnant women, they offer counseling once again that includes whether or not you want to keep they baby. They don't encourage abortion, but they do keep the option open without pushing a lot of guilt on the mother. If the mother elects to keep the baby, Planned Parenthood will make referals to doctors to get the mother on her way. If the mother opts for abotrion, they will refer the mother to an abortion clinic as well as pre- and post- abortion counseling.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but I hope that helped a little!

okay I was just wondering,
how bad does it hurt to get your lip peirced?
Like really bad?
Or just like a pinch.

I'm pretty good with pain,
so I'm just wondering,
how much more worse or less is it from like your ear or something?

It really varies from person to person, but for me it hurt less than my ears (I nearly passed out) and more than my tongue (just a tiny pinch). I didn't keep it in very long because I couldn't get the darn thing to heal.

okay, i've been thinking about this a lot lately and there is a quote about good things coming to an end or something. what is the real quote?
is it 'all good things come to an end'?
'all good things end sometime'

help.

thanks.

I believe it's an English proverb, and it's "All good things must come to an end."

Does anyone know if there's a 3rd "I Know What You Did Last Summer?" Because, you know, in the 2nd one ("I Still Know What You Did Last Summer") at the end, when Julie is in Ray's apartment and she's on the bed, and the last thing you see is that Ben guy under her bed? I thought that since he was still alive, they made a 3rd one but I didn't see it at blockbuster. So does anyone know if they did?

There is a movie that was last scheduled to come out May 2006 called "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer." I guess it got pushed back.

But, it doesn't seem to have a whole lot to do with the first two movies. Check out IMDb's page for it, and see what you think.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469111/maindetails

Also, www.imdb.com is a great place to check any time you have a movie related question.

is it true that if you wax all the time that eventually your hair will stop growing?

For a very few people, it can slightly slow or reduce hair growth.

That's only ever happened to one person I know, and it's a barely noticable difference. It just gives her a little extra time between waxing.

For the rest of us, there is no difference whatsoever.

What does "When In Rome..." supposed to mean??

From wikipedia.org:

"The phrase "When in Rome" is associated with the proverb "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" which is used to advise people to adapt to the culture of places that they visit."

i'm considering getting my nose pierced... is there anything i should keep in mind? and how bad does it hurt?

Be sure to ask around a lot about the best place to get it done. And then check the place out for yourself. It should be clean and sanitary.

When you actually get it done, make sure that everything is individually wrapped. Your artist should take out new gloves, new train liner, new needle, new ring, from sterile packs.

Remeber to keep it clean. Your artist should give you a tip sheet with how to clean it, what to use, and how often. Leave it in until it is completely healed. You should be able to tell.

It will probably hurt. It depends on your artist and your own pain tolerance. Also, since you didn't say how old you are, you might need a parent's permission. Most likely the parlor will require photo ID for both of you. If the parlor doesn't require a parent present and you are under the legal age in your state, you will probably want to find another one, since one shady practice frequently indicates other unsafe practices.

One other thing to keep in mind is that you won't be able to wear it to work at a LOT of places. I worked at McDonald's for a while and even they made me take out most of my piercings.

Other than that, it should look really cute! Have fun!

I was just wondering..
Ive heard gross things about mcdonalds hamburger meat. Like I heard that they used to the cheeks of a cow for some of the meat. ew.
But does anyone know for sure what the meat is made of? ♥ Thanks!

It's hamburger, just like the preformed hamburger patties you would get in the meat case at the grocery store. McDonald's hamburgers are 100% beef, and the beef is purchased from the top suppliers in America. McDonald's even employs a third-party inspection team to check out the quality of the beef. If you chcek out their nutritional information, you will find this: "Beef Patty: 100% pure USDA inspected beef; no additives, no fillers, no extenders."

Also, do you mean cheeks like on your face or your butt? Face cheeks are just fat...like any other fatty part of the cow. And as far as butt goes...you've actually probably eaten far more cow butt than you realize, seeing as it is a legitimate cut of meat. Look at the labels on the meat packadges next time you go to the store. You are bound to find a Boston Butt in there, among other things.

I hope that cleared things up!
