your right to be mad about her talking sh*t about your friends. Gossip is a big no-no where friends are concerned.
If she looks like shes even going to open her mouth and start her crap....cut her off and tell her that you are not interested in hearing her if she is about to say anything bad about your friends. Tell her, I don't know what your deal is, but I don't like hearing you tear my friends apart, and if you have a problem with that, maybe we shouldnt hang out anymore.
Chances are, she probably will not stop. Shes got in it for your friends...who knows why...jeaslousy maybe? Life is hard enough without having to deal with petty ass people who drain all your energy away.
good luck

this is a cool way to get ideas^

there are millions of kids all over the world who feel the same way you do...like noone at home really loves them...or even likes them. many kids have felt this way before you and many will after...not to minimalize your problem...not at all...but just to reassure you that your not alone.

this is temporary. you will be able to leave as soon as you turn 18. take atvantage of the free room and board and plan your escape!

much luck

losing someone you love is never easy. never. is this your first time losing someone? I have lost someone i loved very much too. The only thing that made it easier, was time. In July it will be one year since I lost my dad. I cried alot in the first six or seven months. I missed him and still do. But it is easier now...I still feel like something is missing, but I'm glad its over for him because he was in so much pain near the end.

just know that your best friend is in a better place and she will always be with you in spirit. Talk to her out loud if it makes you feel better. some people believe that the spirit remains behind...they say a dream of them is actually a visit...if it makes it any easier to deal with.

i'm so sorry for your loss. it will get easier.

i promise.

hugs and kisses

Lookie here Lookie here...

try to sell your mom on the fact that its really good excercise...I am a mom to five...and the tramp is great to get the heart rate up and tone your legs and thighs...

yes...like with many activities there is a certain risk involved...but most accidents are caused by carelessness and having more than one person jumping at once...

good luck and tell your mom what good excercise it is!

Love

sounds alot like anxiety.

does your heart beat hard and fast?
do your hands actually shake?
do you ever feel like your throat gets tight when you try to speak?

I experienced an anxiety attack like that before for the first time when i was 13 and it was fine as soon as I finished(i was doing karaoke...in a crowded restaraunt) after i sat down...my legs were trembling.

It was defintely more than just nervousness or fear.

It was much more than that.

But I have learned some ways to handle situations like that...they are not 100% effective but they do help.

1. Breathe deeply...inhale very deeply and slowly through your nose with your mouth closed. Hold it till your lungs fill completely with air. Exhale slowly through your mouth...and do a couple of times until you feel some relief.

2. If you have to speak in public and it can not be avoided, while your standing there at the podium...focus on one person in the crowd . If you have a focal point, I find that you don't get as flustered and lose your place.

not much you can do really...relaxation helps.

good luck...and I hope your speech is flawless

Louise

I'm just gonna tell you the truth.

It may not be what you want to hear.

Right now your age difference is enough to prevent a romantic relationship between the two of you.

Legally...he is an adult. You are not... and having or pursuing a relationship with him may cause him problems.

Why not pursue a friendship with him instead? In a couple of years the age difference wont be such a big deal...and by then you will have some history with him and already have a base that is friendship. Which is what all healthy adult relationships are based on.

Or you could go ahead and flirt and call him and maybe go out--and maybe you'll have sex--maybe he'll dump you after he gets what he wants--and you'll be bitter--and he'll avoid you--and it'll be a big mess.

whatever you want...depends on your tolerance for bullsh*t...how much can you tolerate??????

good luck and much love

Louise

having surgury hurts! and she's probably frustrated that she can't just get up and do what she needs to. also whatever they are giving her for pain might be changing her personality a little bit. this is temporary...make it as easy for your mom as you can. you know her...what does she like? straighten her area a little...make sure she has what she needs within arms reach. tell her its perfectly ok to call you whenever she needs something and try to be cheerful and helpful... and instead of waiting for her to yell at you to do something...try to anticipate her needs and go ahead and do it so she has less to stress over.

before you know it your mom will be feeling better and she will appreciate your maturity and helpfulness. trust me...i'm a mom so i would know.

keep your chin up and dont piss her off...ok?

love louise

are you packing it to take with you for lunch? if you are...just pack the salad in a little tupperware and the bread in a ziplock and make sure you bring something to spread it with...that way it'll be fresh for ya!

louise

honestly it really doesnt hurt when you actually get it done.

its AFTER you get up the next morning that you will be uncomfortable.

just make sure you rinse and gargle dont play with it have plenty of advil popsicles ice and you really cant eat much either.

good luck
Louise

thats messed up.

don't lie. it will just make you lose all credibility.

lesson learned...never never put anything in writing. if you must express yourself through writing--get an account at livejournal and protect it with a password.

i'm sorry that your privacy was invaded...its embarassing as hell...be more careful in the future...

The official word on LCD cleaning in Apple manuals is to use a solution of diluted isopropyl alcohol, no more than a 50% solution. Usually the rubbing alcohol you buy at a drugstore is either 90% or 98% pure

I mix 1 part water and 1 part 90% isopropyl alcohol, which works out to... um.. something just under a 50% solution.

Be absolutely sure to use a very VERY soft cloth. I use a piece of soft flannel. Do NOT use paper towels or anything more abrasive than an old worn out cotton Tshirt.

Absolutely do NOT use windex or anything with ammonia in it, it can etch the screen surface and can cause the plastic to go cloudy. You don't want that to happen!

BTW, there is a commercial cleaning solution called something like Klear-Screen, it's pretty expensive. It is a 50% solution of isopropyl alcohol and water. Just like I make, for a fraction of the cost.
good luck

WHAT CAUSES PERIODS TO CHANGE OR STOP?

period changes are usually a symptom of a physical or hormonal imbalance.

Changes in the amount of hormones released by the thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands, or hypothalmus may cause the ovary to delay or skip ovulation.

Without ovulation a period will not happen. However the same changes in hormones may trigger bleeding at abnormal times (in the middle of a cycle or several weeks late) or in abnormal amounts (very light or very heavy).

One of the most common reasons women fail to ovulate is body weight.

Low body weight may cause an absence of periods.

Excessive body weight tends to cause abnormal bleeding.

Sudden changes in exercise levels or in body weight may cause temporary changes in bleeding patterns.


Emotional stress and illness also cause menstrual irregularities.

Prescribed medications may also effect menstrual patterns by changing the interaction of the body’s natural hormones.

Sometimes the thyroid, pituitary or adrenal gland may screw up and produce too little or too much hormone.

Abnormal bleeding can also be caused by physical changes in the uterus or ovaries, such as abnormal development of tissue in the uterine lining or muscle, or ovarian cysts. Pregnancy or infection may also cause spotting or bleeding to occur

Drinking large amounts of fluid before or during exercise can give you a stomach ache. Drink a cup about an hour before you excersise
Drinking water during exerscising becomes more important as you begin to exercise for longer periods without stopping, especially if you are you are exercising in very hot and/or humid conditions. If this is the case, you should drink small amounts, two or three big sips,every 15 to 20 minutes when exercising without stopping for more than an hour.

hope this helps

Stop talking and wait a few days. It will come back. This happens to me every so often - last time was six days - but it always resolves itself

Can turtles learn to do tricks ?

YES. Just use your imagination, time, and treats.

When you grow or gain weight very quickly, such as during puberty or pregnancy, you can get stretch marks. As your skin is over-stretched, the connective fibers can break, and this creates lines on the skin. These lines usually start out pink or reddish and fade over time. Old stretch marks may become silvery or turn a color a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone.
Whether or not you get stretch marks is determined mostly by heredity, and getting rid of them isn't easy. In fact, experts aren't even sure it's completely possible. The first thing to know is that no over-the-counter cream or lotion can remove those lines. Stretch marks occur in the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, and common creams can't reach that far deep. Vitamin E and cocoa butter treatments can make your skin feel soft and supple, but they won't make your skin mark-free. You'll need to talk to a doctor, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon if you want to seriously reduce the lines.

Prescription creams containing Tretinoin, also called Retin-A, may help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks. These creams should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This type of treatment will not eliminate stretch marks completely, and it won't work on older marks that have already faded from red.

A French treatment called Endermologie claims to reduce scarring. A machine with rollers and gentle suction is used to massage and exfoliate the affected area. Again, this won't remove stretch marks, but it may enhance the overall appearance of the skin.

Laser surgery is sometimes used to lessen the severity of stretch marks, but the results are mixed. Microdermabrasion has been somewhat more successful in changing the appearance of stretch marks. Both treatments are expensive and should only be performed by qualified doctors.

sorry--
