I have $200 worth of money on gift cards to stores I don't even shop at. If I went to that store, bought an item with the gift card & later returned it, would I be getting cash back or would they put it back on the card ?
Most stores will return it on the gift card, unless it's under a certain amount of money, usually under $5.
Why would they give cash back, when they want you to spend money at their store?
Although, if you don't want the gift cards, and you'd rather have the cash, there is a website that trades 'em. Might want to look into that.

OKay so I wont take long I am senior and in the 12th grade and there is this new admission in my school he is in the 11th grade
he is cute and i kinda want to get to know him
but the problem is i am a senior.. and it would be really weird just walking upto him and saying HIIII and conversing
that sort of stuff cant happen
i mean you know i am fairly popular in school and my friends notice. and i know the 11th grade people quite well
and i dont want stupid stuff going around school
but
this guy is really cute and i really think he might just turn out to be my type
but i dont know how i get to know him!!!!!!!
Truth is: that sort of stuff really can happen. And you have to let go of your high school popularity, because truth be told, no one really looks at that stuff as much as we think. In the real world, one year from now, no one is going to care if you were popular, or if you were a geek. The only thing that will matter in a year is your happiness.
If your friends are true friends, they wont think too much of it that you are talking to someone a year younger than you, especially if he is a great guy.
You'll never know what kind of a person he is, until you give yourself a chance to find out.
As far as stupid stuff going around your school, what kind of school do you go to that does not allow seniors to talk to juniors?
How do you normally approach people in the same grade as you when you want to get to know them?
Do you have mutual friends you can have introduce you two to each other, I've always found that the easiest way to go. That way, if you are worried about what the school will think, you can at least say you didn't make the move to meet him, you met between mutual friends.
I really think you should suck up all this popularity stuff, and stop worrying so much about what other people think, and get to know this guy, because you may really regret it if you don't. Especially if you are going away to school next year, and wont get to see him.

i broke up with my ex cause he had cheated on me
i had no plans of going back to him
and i stopped talking to him completely
but then he keeps on calling me everyday and saying sorry
i dont know what he wants cause
he does say sorry and says he feels terrible for everything
but not once has he mentioned he wants me back
i miss him a alot and obv i want him to come back so u see its very hard for me to be rude to him and not talk at all
what do you think he wants?
he just wants to be friends?
or is he just lying cause he doesnt want me to hate him forever cause we have a lot of mutual friends?
or..
he does love me but is scared to tell me he wants me back?!
If he loved you, he wouldn't have cheated on you to begin with.
He just feels bad that he got caught, and wont stop annoying you until you accept the fact that he cheated on you, and you say it's okay, which to him means it's okay that he cheated.
He hasn't mentioned he wants you back because he doesn't. He's just looking for you to forgive his stupidity.
Sorry -- I'm a bit harsh, but once a cheater, always a cheater.

Hey!
I hope if it is not a problem if I write to you.
I really need help.
I am kind of attached to this guy.. before I knew this side of him, WE had an amazing time together ..thats what makes me hard to believe he could actually do something like this to me. I used to consider him my best boyfriend ever. He would do everything just perfectly :) and though ofcourse we were together barely for three months it felt a long time to me cause we used to meet atleast twice a week or even more often most of the times!!
Thats why it is so hard for me not to get over him .I dont know what to do.
Hey, glad you're contacting me again. It's not a problem at all, I love answering your questions..
I know this isn't information or advice that you want to hear, but I truly do not think this guy is good for you.
That sounds great that you had such a good time with him, but that makes me feel even a little more suspicious of him than before.
You had such a good time with him, he did wonderful things for you, he knew that you valued his companionship, and yet again, despite all of the great times you shared, he felt it necessary to see someone else behind your back.
I realize that perfect isn't perfect at all, but no girl, especially one that sounds as wonderful as you, should be dealing with a guy who has done her wrong. You've been together for three months, shared good times, learned valuable lessons, and now it's time to move on with your life, and allow someone who will love you more than you could imagine into your life.
Again, I know this isn't the advice you want to be hearing, but I truly DO NOT see anything good in him, and I believe you should try to let him go as hard as you can.
Contact me again if you need any help. (:

okay so I have been dating this guy for the past three months and I recently found out he was cheating on me! He told the girl he made out with that he was single and that I was just his friend! I found this out cause i incidentally talked to the girl.I really got angry when I found out he had been lying to me all this while and I immediately broke up with him. when i confronted him about the whole thing he had to accept it but then for the first five hours after confrontation he was all like "i cant believe i could lie so well.." but after that he said sorry and kept on texting and calling me up! he wanted me back and told me he was very sorry and all and he actually spoke to some of his friends (who i know too) about the whole thing and how he really feels sorry about everything. he told some of our mutual friends to call me up too ..should i trust him again and go back to him or not????
People make mistakes all the time, but these kinds of mistakes should never happen. He was proud of himself of being able to hide something from you so who knows what else he's hiding, or going to hide in the future.
I believe he's calling mutual friends, and apologizing because now he feels lonely because the chick he made out with was just a makeout session to him and now she's gone but so are you.
I know you must really like him, if not love him but I would try to seperate myself from him.
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
If you need anymore help, I'll be happy to support you through this.
Good luck --- there's guys who don't cheat, and every girl deserves one. (:

Alright I'm a 19 year old male,and I've known this girl for a lot of my life. In the past two years we've realized that we have feelings for each other. Due to a series of complicated events she's actually been dating another guy for almost two years living with him for more than one.
Their relationship has always been tenious at best as he is abusive and controlling (she told me herself I've had to take her in to the hospital for the damage he's done) Unfortunately whenever we do get together (I've been living in another city for a while now) we end up kissing, telling each other how much we love each other, I've never had sexual relations as I won't condone cheating more than we have. Sorry for the long story, just on new year's I finally told her that we should be together but due to the vast distance and her lack of place to live if she leaves her boyfriend the only option is for her to live with me in a new city, basically should I ask her to move in with me? Thank you in advance for your help.
To begin, there is another question you must ask yourself before you ask if you should move in with her, and that question is: What do you plan on doing with the rest of your life?
Have you talked to her about her leaving her boyfriend? If she wanted to leave her boyfriend, she would have done so already.
How do you know she isn't going to cheat on you, when she's cheated on her boyfriend with you?
I think that you need to spend more time talking to her about what she wants to do about her boyfriend before you move her into your place. If she means a lot to you, you need to sit her down somewhere and explain to her the rules and regulations of living with you. She needs to know that if she is to live with you, no more contact with her boyfriend.
It sounds like you are responsible, but do not forget about yourself in a situation where you are also helping and loving her. If this goes wrong, you are going to need just as much help as you will give her so take this seriously.
Moving in with someone is very different from meeting them at a pizza place everyday. There are habits and problems they might have that you don't even know about and that's something you'll have to get used to.
To answer your question: Yes, you should ask her to move in with you, but only after explaining to her what your worries, rules, and regulations are.
Good luck, hope all goes well.

ok,so i've lived in this house with my parents for years but it's embarassing to say how messy it is but for the great or good i will it has multiple piles of clothes in every room due to my sister having to move back in with us which we didn't expect but my sister had a baby and now the baby has to live here as well but the house is a total disaster and i think has contracted alot of health problems i now have to clean this whole place alone.my mom my sister has to care for her child and well let's not start on my dad.so excatly where do i start!?!thank you for ur help -ch
Start with one room at a time. Clean all of the trash in that room, don't take anything out of it unless it's trash, and take it straight to the garbage. You don't want anything to accumulate in any of the other rooms. Bathroom would probably be a good start, it's small and you could get it out of the way.
This is going to take some time if it is completely trashed, so make sure to remind your family what you are doing and ask them to try to keep the rooms you've gone through decent. Next, if your sister is living with you, her nursery, or bedroom to keep it easier for her to spend time with the baby. Next, the kitchen.
When I clean, I always do trash first, then clothes, then the small stuff (papers, toys, ect).
Good luck to you, wish I could help. I'm a master cleaner.

So my boyfriend lives a few hours away and he says he's gonna send me my Christmas gift. It's just a few things he found that he thought would have some significance. I am completely clueless on what to give him. I don't want to get him something too much since it'd be through mail. So have any ideas? Thanks!
Make him a t-shirt! (:
It's inexpensive, but it's very thoughtful and significant, especially since it's from you.
He bought you things that have significance to you, so you should do the same. Buy little things that he would love.
His favorites:
- Candy
- Something related to his hobby (if he's a football player/watcher, get him his favorite team's key chain)
- T-shirt you make for him
- A small poster of his favorite music artist or movie or game
Just get small stuff that reminds you of him.
Add a picture of you in there with a cute frame just for him.

So this guy and I we work together,and we've been dating for about 3 months and well for the past 3 weeks we havent hang out...2 weeks ago was my birthday he said happy birthday to me and said sorry i wanted to do something but i feel terrible (excuse but he shouldnt feel like he had to do something you know) and the weekend before that he told me he still liked me (we went out on break together, we never do we ate and he paid for me) and the weekend of my birthday he asked me to text him to hang out after work but i didnt because i didnt want him to think that everytime hes free i could hang out and he always expects me to say yes to hang out i hate that.So fast forward 2 weeks later (we both only work on weekends) he kinda starts acting different but he still flirted with me so i was confused. There was a rumor going around work that he was bragging to people he had two options...and i heard this past weekend that he finally picked one...it wasnt me and he talked to me about it already( which he didnt). I have no idea he was also seeing another girl. He treated me like a girlfriend and i thought we were gonna go out.So I didnt hear anything from him, i wanted to address the rumor so I asked him this past sunday if we could talk and he said sure so after we were done our shift he looks at me smiles and says hey so what do you want to talk about I said i think you know what i want to talk about he laughs and says alright i think i know so we talk out front of the store and he goes alright well with the other girl i got with her like 2 or 3 times didnt think anything of it then we started hanging out (she goes to school with him) and he sighs and says she kinda gave me an ultimatium either keep getting with other girls or just her. He said remember when you asked me what were we and i said yeah he said well i said i didnt want to mess it up and stuff like that was because i was seeing that other girl too and i still wanted you too but i just didnt tell you. he then said i like you still i mean we can be friends then i said wait what does that even mean you still like me? he said its just she goes to school with me (i live at home i commute to college) shes just convenient shes there you know and your here and i said you only live 20 minutes away and he says yeah but it was a hassle not a hassle but 20 there 20 back and i get out of class late it was just too much. Then he said thats why i was trying to keep my distance and be rude to you not rude but you know...(but he wasnt until like this past weekend and he was still flirting with me) I said alright well i figured...i just wish i didnt hear it from giant first and he goes who did you hear it from and i said it dosent matter who it was but i know now. We then walk to our cars ( we walked right next to each other and we never do that, he alkways walks ahead of me)and he goes sorry i said you dont have to be sorry and he said i wanted to tell you before it happened i said wait you guys go out already he guys well it happened the other day and i said oh and walked into my car. So i had to ask him about it, he wasnt man enough to tell me, and when he says what do you want to talk about? it was like he wasnt going to tell me ever that he was going out with this girl just keep dragging it on. Its like so you still like me but you picked her because shes convenient...? And if she gave him an ultimatium that never is a good beginning to a relationship you know? So i feel like i won, and he picked the wrong girl. Im trying to get over him its hard, but im trying it stinks we still have to work together though. But i just cant help it that he still flirts with me and from the sounds of it likes me still..then is he he making the right choice by taking that ultimatium? like on the car ride back to school was he thinking i took it better then expected and maybe he made a bad choice? will he come back to me? i dont know...i was just wondering what you guys thought thanks!
Honestly, I don't even think you should waste your time with this guy.
He sounds like a total prick. He's not honest with you, he's telling other people he picked some other chick over you, he's not willing to drive to see you, you're too much of a hassle for him, blah blah blah. This shit just keeps on dragging. So, he's totally not worth your time.
I think you should just try to get over him, which I know is going to be hard especially since you do work with him. The other girl that answered your question is totally right, flirt with other guys like it's nothing. Make him feel horribly about picking Miss Convinient! And, when he tries getting back to you, tell him you found somebody at school, and he's more convinient, haha. (Just kidding!)
I strongly believe you will find someone who you like so much better, he's just totally not worth it. Let him bang other girls behind Miss Convenient's back too, no biggie. That's a low move to make on a girl "you still like too." A guy who likes a girl does not treat her like this. Run away as fast as you can.

If you know anything please help.
My youngest cat is aroung 10 months old and her right eye is foggy and red, this has happened before, but i just wanna know what it is. She is a very social cat but now she is very shy. this has just started today. If you know please tell me.
Here are some of the things that may be irritating your cat's eye:
Conjunctivitis. This is when the soft pink tissue around the eye becomes inflamed and irritated. Possible causes are allergies or a viral infection.
Blocked tear ducks are a common cat eye problem for longhaired cats, especially the ones with a squashed face as in the Persian cat.
Cloudy Eye - Loss of clarity or transparency in the eye indicates an inner eye disorder. Disorders that can cause a cloudy eye are Keratitis, Glaucoma and Cataract.
According to this website: http://hubpages.com/hub/Cat-Eye-Problems
"A special characteristic of the cat's eye is their exta eyelid, which is called the nictitating membrane. If this extra eyelid is visible then your cat most likely has an eye problem."
The LAST thing you want to do is use any eye drops unless prescribed by a vet.
Cloudiness of cat's eyes is often associated with a reduction in the transparency of several parts of the eyes including the cornea, the lens of the eyes, or the fluid media that is actually in your cats eyes. It can best be described as a film like appearance that has suddenly covered your cats eyes as well as an increased cloudy appearance in the whites of their eyes.
If the injury is severe the eye may be lost, less severe injuries can result in ulcers forming on the surface of the eye, so take your cat to the vet immediately.

I eat a lot of Clementine, and i'm just wandering if too much vitamin C is bad for you? and how much is bad? If not, what are the good things for your body of consuming a lot of vitamin C, thank you.
To begin: The person that answered your question before me is somewhat wrong. (Sorry)
As I'm sure you've heard, "too much of anything is not good."
To be honest, I do not think that the amount of clementines you are eating would cause vitamic c overdose, which can happen. Vitamic C, like all of the other nutrients in our bodies are stored for future use, they are not ignored or discarded. When we have a deficiency in these vitamins, our bodies start using the stored vitamin that we have been eating.
Too much vitamin C can cause:
1.Diarrhea: Vitamin C helps in the fight against constipation, but too much vitamin c causes diarrhea
2. Nausea
3. Renal Failure
4. Fatigue
5. Abdominal Cramps
6. Kidney Stones
7. Hindrance in Cancer Treatment
8. Indigestion: If a person has a history of heartburn or indigestion
9. Insomnia
10. Irritation of Esophagus: Like indigestion, too much of vitamin C can cause acid reflux, hence the irritation of the esophagus
11. Drowsiness
12. Decreased Vitamin B12 (dairy)- forms red blood cells and sustaining the nervous system
13. Increased Demand of Oxygen: If you take too much of vitamin C it can give rise to an increased demand for oxygen, which can result in added pressure on the heart.
14. Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining is called gastritis
15. Erosion of Teeth: If a person has been using chew-able vitamin C for a very long period of time, it can cause erosion of the teeth as well.
16. Deep Vein Thrombosis - blood clots in veins
17. Harmful to Red Blood Cells: Excessive amounts of vitamin C can be harmful to the red blood cells, as it causes the destruction of these cells.
This website is really good about explaining how much of vitamic C is too much.

Hope that helps. (:

Okay I made it official with this guy june 18th 2009, last year which in fact was the eptimone of my naiveness, and I was blind to everything as a girl I was easily manipulated etc.. I said yes I'll be your gf on that day, and ever since then weve been really tight like best friends and talk to eachother about pretty much anything including what's considered cheating in a relationship and what guys want from girls .
He says that every guy just want to have sex as first intention and then theyll get to know you
I disagree example: someone hit me up that I knew in elementry on fb I said how are you doing etc .. MY BOYFRIEND GETS MAD saying theres no reason to write to him unless you really want to see how he is.. the guy prob. thinks he can get you etc....
another example: my ex hits me up on fb and this is an old old ex and says whats going on and i write whats up with you . Boyfriend says: why are you writing back to him theres no reason to write back to him, etc.. * BUT this was strictly mutual I will never cheat on my boyfriend ever, I love him to much and its morally wrong a huge downfall .
I just don't think I can take him thinking that I will cheat on him , idk if its because he's envious or overprotective but it need's to stop
also Ever since Ive been with my boyfriend my whole personality changed as in im not naive anymore i demand more as a woman etc.. maybe he still thinks Im the girl he first asked out ?
idk:/ its killing me I dont want us to breakup over absolutely NOTHING . over what I might do , or what might happen .
My boyfriend is the same way. We live together so he watches everything I do (he's asleep right now). We've been together for two years and everytime I get a message from someone, a phone call, or a text he always asks, "Do you only love me?" insinuating that he's worried I might love someone else. Recently I sat him down and explained to him how crazy it sounds when he thinks I may be cheating or may love anyone else besides him.
The key to solving your problem is communication. You should sit him down and explain to him how much this affects your relationship. I'm sure he's not even aware of the fact that he's doing this. Look at everything he says from his point of view too.
Start out with something like, "As we've discussed, we are both very against cheating, and I really appreciate you for that. Lately I have been feeling a little pressure from you though, and I think you constantly think I might be cheating on you. This hurts me because I love you, blah blah blah."
This way, he realizes how his behavior is making you feel. Again, communication is key to solving problems in any situation. Let him know what is bothering you, ask him how he feels about certain situations. Remind him to be very honest because you really do want to make him happy and satisfied. Ask him what he thinks when you say hi to other people. Explain to him that they do not mean anything to you and you are just being curteous. You also have to ask yourself, "How would I feel if he were messaging an ex?" and if you feel comfortable, tell him why.
There is no reason for you to break up for absolutely nothing, but if you feel constantly watched and doubted, then that is something you may want to consider. Let him know how everything makes you feel, you both just need to talk about things face to face openly and honestly.
Good luck. (Update me if you have any more questions!) (:

I had an allergic reaction to a new birth control i was taking. I stopped taking it 2 days ago but I am still covered in hives. I have been taking a little bit of bendryl, but is there anything else I can do to make them go away? they're on my face too! and theyre just so annoying, i want them to go away quick!
Claritin 24 Hour Allergy, Claritin Hives Relief,or Claritin Reditab are really good ones that my sister uses because she is allergic to air, lol.
http://www.articlesbase.com/alternative-medicine-articles/how-to-treat-hives-449360.html
That website is very informational. It says Vitamic C should help. All fruits and vegetables contain some amount of vitamin C. Foods that tend to be the highest sources of vitamin C include green peppers, citrus fruits and juices, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, turnip greens and other leafy greens, sweet and white potatoes, and cantaloupe.
Other excellent sources include papaya, mango, watermelon, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, winter squash, red peppers, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pineapples.
Good luck! (:

Hi okay so first of all i live in Atlanta,Georgia and i wanted to know where i can buy water with 300% oxygen. I heard it's really good for your health but i can't seem to find it anywhere. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!
I've heard of only one brand and it's called Clearly Canadian Oxygen Enhanced Water
Oxygenated Water. It's 300% MORE oxygenated than regular water. As far as where you could buy that... I would say gas stations may have them, so I would check there. I believe you can also order it online.
Hope that at least gives you an idea.

ok so i had a typical fan girl crush on a guy two years ago ( with the crush lasting for a year) whose in a band thats becoming huge. i had his posters on my wall etc etc. I had met him a couple of times in that year that i liked him. each of those times i got a not so expected reaction from this guy. Every other fan he came into contact with or talked to, he was smiley and bubbly. then he would get to me and just look me up and down, just staring. wouldnt say a word. then after minutes of just standing there without him even so much as smiling at me he will move onto the next girl happy as can be. Confused and annoyed i eventually gave up when every single time i met him he would do the same, even if i talked to him he wouldnt respond. just stare. so for the next year or so i slowly tore myself away from him and anything that reminded me of him. taking down his posters etc etc. Eventually over that year i matured and my fan girl days were long gone. however for that year, sucessfully over him, i would still dream about him on the odd occasion, and when i did i would deny 100% that i still somewhat had a thing for him.
So the start of this year I went to one of his concerts, and decided to completely ignore him, forget him completely and just pay attention to the other band mates whilst they were onstage playing. However, my sister was keeping an eye on me and mentioned that Andy(the guy) kept staring at me whilst he was playing. Two adults actually commented to me as i was leaving how he was focusing all his attention on me. I then was also showed videos from that concert of him just staring at me. still i chose to push all that too the side and deny that it ever meant anything. As he left that building, as i watched him leave, he just stared at me like he used to, no smile no emotion on his face.
So a couple of months passed and yet i was still having weird dreams and as always i tried to push them to the side, and hide my feelings. Then two weeks ago, they came and played and did a meet and greet. I went along as my friends wanted to give them there bands cd. I arrived first so i went and stood by the bar. i waited in veiw of the steps to wait for my friends. only to look over and see a security guard walk into a door in perfect sight of where i was standing. The band was warming up backstage and once again there was andy, just sitting there at the door staring at me, yet again. I was all dressed up this time cause i was going clubbing afterwards, yet still he was expressionless. This happened a further 3 or so times when the door would open up. and sometimes i wouldnt look just so he didnt think i was purposely there to see him. anyway, this time when he was on stage, he completely ignored me, he knew where i was and i figured it was like a 'test' if he looked at me then i would know that maybe in some bizzare way all those times he just looked and stared at me meant something. Anyway the band stopped playing and we lined up to meet them. My fan girl days are over so i wasnt freaking out. I talked to the other two band members like they were my best mates, wasnt nervous anything like that, in fact one of the other members was hitting on me subtly.
then i get to him, my other two friends were talking to him about something and he commented back to something they said, i added a comment in after him thinking it was funny, he looked straight at me and for the first time actually laughed. My other two friends didnt even notice or pick up what i said but he did. Then They walked off and i looked at andy....he gave me the biggest cheeziest smile i had ever seen. i was so shocked..like after 7 times of meeting him and him not even to briefly smile at me, then all of a sudden there was a massive smile on his face? when only less then an hour before that he was ignoring me or staring at me expressionless.
i couldnt forget that face of his from that smile. so anyways i kept having more and more dreams over these last two weeks about him again. Then i find out that his bands coming back to my hometown to play another gig..I just finally confronted myself and the fact that I DO have feelings for him in some way, and ever since then ive been crying and upset. i really dont understand. Im seeing him again in two days and i just dont know what to think right now.
I know this might be kind of cheesy, (I don't know what band this is) but when you go to their next gig, you should totally make a huge sign with his name on it, and flirt up a storm when he's around you. I think as a fan girl, you're overthinking this issue, and I think he may just be thinking, "Dang, I keep seeing this girl everywhere, but I cannot remember her name, or where I've seen her last, or blah blah," so he's giving you a dumb look everytime. You're a dedicted fan and I know my suggestion sounds like a bit over the top but there's nothing you can lose. He can either hate your guts because you embarrass him, or hate your guts for no reason like you've described. I don't think he dislikes you, or hates you, or anything like that but he seems so emotionless. Maybe he's playing hard to get, since he knows you're at his gigs all the time. Don't give up on chasing him around, it sounds way too fun to give up. Cheer up and have a good time at their show, and don't really think about him like you've been doing.
I am wondering if when you went to his shows and payed more attention to the other band mates if you were more happy and had more fun, if so, just try to do that again but bring a sign with his name on it to spite him, haha! (:
Hope you have fun at his next show, don't give up on being a fangirl, I like your attitude.
