Q: Ok, so i woke up today a week before christmas and i have a really bad sinus infection!!! My family members had it last week, but i heard it can last around 2 weeks. But thats not all, I have a temperature of 102 my feet are freezing, and i have no voice, does anyone have anything to help?
sorry to hear you have the sniffles :( what i would suggest is getting a neti pot! Which is pretty much a little cup wiht a tube on the end, and you put it in your nose, and rinse out your sinuses. You can probably find one at your local drugstore, heres some directions on how to use it.

1

Fill the netty pot with lukewarm water. Most netty pots are shaped like a small watering can.

2

Add ΒΌ tbs. of table or sea salt to the water in the netty pot. Salt will help dry out your nasal passages and will help prevent infection.

3

While leaning over a sink, tilt your head to the side and insert the spout of the netty pot into your nostril. Pour the water into the nasal passage so that it flows out the other nostril.

4

Tilt your head to the opposite side and repeat step 3 for the opposite nostril.

5

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the salt-water solution is gone.

6

Exhale through your nose and blow out any excess fluid.


Hope i helped!!

Q: my friend was afraid to say anything to her parents i would as well she told me she masterbated for along time but she started to have well problems and she didn't know what else to do and could it be possible she ended up having an std germ or something on her hands plz and thank you!! ;)
It's not possible to give an std to yourself. If she happened to be touching another guy down there who DID happen to have an std, and then she touched herself, then its highly probable. But unless she touched another person in there happy spot than i highly doubt she has an std :P

Q: me and my girlfriend after 7yrs together broke up and she left me for a wanted felon. been split up now for 6months but i tell her i still love her alot but she never says nothing back just the other day she told me she is madly still in love with me and she dont no why but what ever she does she cant stop being in love with me she says i treated her like shit but in all reality i responded to her when she would say something to me and im the bad guy. what would u say u think shes just playing head games because she nos im still in love with her
Hm. A wanted felon eh? Well, I can see what you're saying about the headgames, let me ask you this, is she broken up with the felon as well? Maybe she broke up with him, and therefore is using you as a fallback? Not to be the bearer of bad news or anything. I just dont want you to get hurt ya know? If shes still dating the felon, and she said this to you, she may like you said be playing head games like a jerk. But if shes broken up with the felon, then she might be using you as a fall back. I wouldn't take her back if I were you. But thats just me, and If you really do love her, and she loves you, I suggest that you sit her down, and have a talk with her. Ask her why she thinks you treated her like shit. If she really is just bullshitting you than im sure she wont want to talk. BUT, if she does agree to talk, watch your back, him being a felon and all. You don't want anything bad to happen ya know? I hope i helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to holler!

Q: I need advice on what to do in my situation. One of my school loans automatically took my payment directly out of my account without me authorizing it causing my rent check to bounce. My landlord wants the money in cash by monday but i will not have it available to me until thursday. I have no one i can borrow from. I dont know what to do. Will i get evicted if i cant pay it until thursday? Help!
Hi there, sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle. What I suggest that you do, is you have a good talk with your landlord. Give him or her a buzz on the phone, and explain what exactly happened and that you'll have the money by Thursday. And I'm almost positive that you won't get evicted, its only 3 days. I could be wrong, and your landlord could be a complete a-hole Ha, but I'm sure that he or she will completely understand if you like i said, just give them a buzz and say Hey, something came up, and I need a 3 day extension. Try to be as polite as possible, and I'm sure that you'll be completely fine :]

I really hope I helped!

Sincerely, Sam.

Q: Hello,Hope you can help ,Well im a young teen my mother i love her ive notice i talk horable to her and raise my voice .. Ignore her but i love her she forgives me she buys me every thing i ask for some times she cant a fored it and i go ahead and get fussy again i tell her im sorry ive told her i loved her ..Christmas is near i asked for a pro camara ..She said it cost a lot i got mad She told me ..She can by me a reguler one .. I refused and said then dont buy me nothing ..she got mad .. But just the other day i heard her talking to my dad saying that maybe next year i felt terrible i told her ..Mom i dont want absalutly nothing this christmas huged her and left she came toi me and asked she didnt under stand me i was crying so i had to repeat i said its because youve done so much but my sister told me she got me a camara for christmas ..Am i a bad daughter What can i do to stop being so mean so stupied ?
(I tend to do it a lot ) Thank you
I don't think you're a bad daughter, I don't want this to sound rude or anything because that isn't what I'm implying at all, but I think you need an attitude adjustment. Not in a bad way. You even said yourself you feel terrible about the things you do after you do them. Maybe that's a sign saying that you shouldn't do it at all, because it hurts your conscience. And I promise, you'll ( again, i don't want this to sound bad) straighten out as you get older. I used to be the same, and I mean the SAME exact way. It fades with age. Just remember next time, if you feel bad when you do it, why do it again? Just think before you talk, and everything will work out just fine. Oh, and you're not stupid either :] I hope I helped!!

Q: Okay so I had sex with my boyfriend over the weekend and he was pretty rough and what not which is usually fine but the next morning when i tried to pee it really hurt. Since then, my pee has been a slightly weirdish color and slightly smelly and it hurts even when i'm not doing anything. I also have an opaque discharge. The discharge happens on occasion, I'm pretty sure i'm just prone to yeast infections. But it usually just itches, never burns. Help? It's kind of embarrassing so I dont want to see a doc unless I have to
What it sounds like to me is a urinary tract infection. Which is pretty much a really bad bladder infection. Its pretty much when your...well, pee hole, haha, and the tube where the urine comes out gets inflamed and sore. Go to your obgyn or family doctor, and get checked out, they can give you a medicine to clear it right up. it can happen from rough sex to be honest with you.

Q: It's in New Jersey. Is it a good pre-med college? I would like to become a dermatologist. Where is it ranked in comparison to other universities in the nation? Like how Harvards number one, where is Richard Stockton, and what does it take to get in? How much is tuition and is it in a safe neighborhood? My brothers are in universities in the top 50 and I don't want to go to a college unless its a good one, at least in the field I want. Thanks soo much.
If i were you, i woulc check out stanford's dermatology program, its pretty awesome

check it out :)

Q: i just got a little white male kitten today.. and i need some names. i want something silly.. not like snowball or any generic white cat name. one of my friends cats name is george w brooks because her last names is brooks and then her dogs name is buddy bo bongo. i want silly names like that=] any suggestions?

Q: does anyone ever get the feeling on certain areas on your skin that it feels like its stinging. ALOT. like when you touch it, it hurts like theres cuts there. but there arent any cuts at all? it happens to me sometimes, like yesterday it happend on my foot and it hurt alot. i tried searching for it but i have no idea what it is. thanks
have you stepped on a piece of glass? or was it on the top of your foot. scan your foot again, looking for glass or any other tpye of sharp object, and then if not you should seek dermatologist help

good luck!


Q: Ok so my boyfriends bond is being lowered which is obviously good but does that mean that he might be getting out sooner or what? i dont want to be getting my hopes up if it means something bad. thanks in advance.
it doesnt techically mean that hes getting out earlier, it just means that they reviewd some stuff after trial ..if he had one. id assume he did. and they decided that the bond was a bit overstimulated.

Q: My boyfriend just got an Xbox and NCAA football 09. We played it today a little. He's not really that great, he just knows the controls and obviously knows more than football than I do (like what play does what, what you're supposed to do on a third down, etc.). I've looked online for some basic instructions, but all I can find are cheats and that crap. I do know football well for a girl, but not for the video game, haha. I don't want to let him always beat me, just because I don't really know how to play! I'm sure that'll get old for him too after a while.

So I just want to know about the plays, general info about football, and just how to play the game better.
http://football.about.com/od/football101/l/bl_glossary.htm


thas everything you need to know about football.

im going to show you a picture

http://www.troypatriots.com/fpd_full_screen_running.jpg


i'm gonna explain whats happening in the picture.

as you can see, the front line, has 2 wide recievers thats WR the lines that are coming out from teh players, is where they are supposed to go, when your playing ingame on xbox, your always the quarterback, so you have to check wehre your wr or your tight end is going on the very left side after your wr, you have your tackle. after the tackle you have the guard, then the center, who snaps the ball to the quarterback you have another guard after that, and then a tight end.
your two runing backs are lined up behind the quarterback. wide recievers generally catch passed balls and running back get the handoffs.

hope i helped!!
I'm a girl too by the way :D
good luck

Q: We just got a black lab/boxer mix. He is a great boy, very friendly and seems perfectly healthy. We just got him 4 days ago, and at first he wouldn't eat or drink and now he is a little more settled and he is eating and drinking normal amounts.
My problem is randomly in the house he will pee clear, and its a lot. Like he just lets loose, he doesn't lift his leg he just stands there or he will keep walking. It has no odor, and it looks like water.
Do you think he is drinking to much, or something else? He plays fine, only cries when he is not being pet, he doesn't cry or anything when he pee's. Please let me help me, what do you think??
puppies pee generally isnt yellow like most older dogs' pee. its just like with babies, theyre pee isnt as yellow as ours is because they havent had all of the caffine and sugar we have had. as your dog gets older, his pee will darken. most likely its not clear, its very, very faint yellow. as he gets older it will darken out becuase of the natural toxins the body produces. if you think its a problem, dont take my advice for it, and take your pup to the vet. but im highly sure im correct.

Good Luck!

Q: Hey guys, I'm F/17 5'4 and I have big thighs. It really bugs me bc it makes me wear a bigger pant size, but then the pants are to long and to big in my waist. In skirts and shorts I wear a 5-6. But with pants its a 7-8 and they are big on me but my legs but they are still kinda tight on m legs, if I would go any bigger I would need plat forms!!.
So what are some things I can do to make my legs smaller.
I'm in tooons of sports, gymnastics, cheerleading, basketball, track, could that be it??

But Wouldn't squats make my legs even bigger? any help?? THANKS!!
Hey, cheer up. Its a great thing that youve got big thighs. Your in tons of sports, so theyre not "big" as in fat. theyre mostly all muscle. Stand up, and try to pinch fat on your thighs or feel right above your knee cap to the left if you have that muscle bulge, its a good thing. what i would suggest is go to a gym, if you have one of course. and if they have a thigh machine, its where you set your legs in it and move them back and forth, it lets you burn fat on your thighs, if you have any at all.

hope i helped :O)

Q: i'm really getting into photography and stuff
i need a new good camera thats under like 300 bucks preferably
it has to zoom pretty far, and i'd really like the color accent feature
and does anyone know how i can get like underwater cases?
any cool features would be cool too
This camera is a bit over 300, about 343 .But its one of the best cameras out there. Nikon is a great company.

Q: How do you get people to ask you questions on here?? I don't know how to do it? and nobody has asked me anything yet.
Did you create an account? Because if you didn't create one, you can't answer questions! And if you do have an account, they just have to ask you if they come across your profile and ask the question.

Q: Female - 16

Hi, in my art class at school we are using clay and it really dries out our hands. If I put it on my face where I am oily would it dry it out and make the blemishes go away? What else might happen?

Thankss
no! dont stick that clay on your face. it will clog your pours and make your blemishes worse! and you could totally breakout in something! good luck!

Q: Does anyone know how to find out who has visited your Myspace profile? Because I think there is a site for it but im not sure. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
