kay so i REALLY wanna be on the drill team (dance)
and i have dance class everyother day for about 2 hours. tryouts are in march. and almost do the splits if i stretch really well. but you have no idea how much i wanna be on the drill team. ive already started stretching 30 minutes to an hour a day. the thing is im not very flexible cuz im fat (but im on a diet and doing pretty good) yet im self confident and i know i can do anything if i put my mind to it and in this case my mind is set on getting on the team. so my questions are: do you know type of things we will need to preform when i try out? do you sites for better stretches? any advice possible would be great.
thanks(: (link)
For Dril team I'm not sure but I do know it is recommend that you flood your body with water atlest 48 hours before (drink lots of water- it helps with flexiblity and reduces injury)

also I hope your not drink soda or watch out for those "special diet items" that help you lose weight fast, very dangerus espeialy for dancers


I would also say gets lost of rest before, and relax right before (I know it's imposible but give it a shot)

and when performing remember to BREATH (I know it sounds silly and you may have been warned about it befor, but when ur there at the "judgment table", it is so easy to forget evrything.

other than that, you'll have to find out on your own, find out what will properly repent you and your talent.

hope this help

I'm learning this song for a christmas concert i'm doing soon, its pretty much in latin except for a few verses,but the only one i really know is this

"let bells be rung and voices sing on this festive day" (which is the first english words they say)

I'm not sure what the song is called but it's latin and the beginning of the word is "Reso" i think. after reso, i don't know the word, and thats the name of the song.(it's also repeated through out the whole song)

So my question is, does anyone know the name of that song? haha,thank you! (link)
I don' tknow the Song but I can help you ou tin the the Title
"reso" (as far as I know means to enfeeble or to weeken)

if you send me the rest of the title I might be able to tranlsate.

hope this helps

okay so i usually wash my face around 3 times a day. once in the morning, once when i get home from school to wash off all the oil and makeup (i don't do this every single day) and then at night before bed.
is this too much? should i stick to just twice a day? because i heard that washing too much can irritate your skin and i don't want that! let me knoww what you think. (link)
It shouldn't affect your skin, I usaly twise a day, When I did acting, I had makeup on all the time, and I washed it 3 to four times a day.

just maybe not a thoughro srub.

hopes this helps.

Okay, so I had an optometrist appointment today and my vision kinda SUCKS. There's no doubt that I need glasses and we're getting a second opinion on surgery for wandering eyes. So, because those pesky little pupils seem to have minds of their own x] contacts are out. Doctors orders. I don't mind that though.
Soo I need help finding a pair of frames that I'll actually wear. Glasses just don't look good on me. I've had them before. I don't want a plain old plastic pair, or teensy tiny metal rims. I want something DIFFERENT. Liike, shazaam!
A girl at my school has sort of like Steve Urcle glasses, but she can actually pull it off.
So any tips? What would match me?
Ohh, the pictures are sort of outdated, but you get an idea at least :]

Mine glasses are kinda squarish and small and I like that,

Oh btw I would not recomed the ones with half frams around the lends, (the clear glue around them can break fairly easy; but I don't know if they still make them but a warning still the same)

I hope this helps Sinerly

Sorry this is kind of a long one! I thought I graduated from a College X in May 2006. They let me walk at graduation, etc. It turns out I actually hadn't graduated--I was 3 credits shy. After "graduating" I moved twice in three months (long story) and eventually started a full-time job in October 2006. It wasn't until around Nov when someone asked me if I got my diploma that I realized I hadn't. I got some transfer credits I had from high school sent in, and my degree was conferred in May 2007 w/o me taking any more classes.
Here's the problem: I started the job I'm at in Oct '06, telling them I finished my degree before that. When I found out that wasn't true, I...didn't tell them. I was scared they would fire me on the spot for "lying" on my resume. Now, almost 2 yrs since I started, they're randomly conducting a staff-wide "audit" to be sure everyone has their credentials, and they may notice the discrepancy b/w my transcript & resume. I feel my options are: 1) Come clean now and hope they understand, knowing full well they'll probably fire me. 2) Submit my credentials and hope they don't notice the discrepancy [I'm pretty low on the totem pole...how hard will they look?] and 3) Quit my job, and be honest with my next interviews about my graduation date but hope they don't ask if I ever told this first job what happened.

So that's it...that's how I screwed myself. Any advice? Anyone see any other options? Thank you! (link)
I would be honest with them telling them sorry for the mix up and you'll accpet their desision.

iff you have a desent boss, he/she will at lest here you out and weight it in consideration.

son't try to hide it friom them, it may back fire and blow up in your face.

I hope this helps.

I probably wouldn't even ask this, but I told my best guy friend what I did, and he told me that what I did was very wrong to the point that even a Satanist would have problems condoning all of my actions.

It really has messed w/ my head since he said that, so I wanted your opinion on if you think I did the right things or not in this instance.

I was in college this past semester, and had 19 hours worth of classes. I also was working two jobs, one of them on campus for the housing dept., one off campus. I had been engaged to this guy I'd been w/ for 5 years from back home, but it was long distance by then because he didn't go to college. I had gotten pretty bored w/ him, and I had found a friend w/ benefits on the side, and the more that went on, the more I felt like I need to break off the engagement, so I did that over Christmas break.

Well, about 3 weeks before the semester ended, my ex fiance showed up and surprised me at my apt. He had a gun, but he didn't threaten me w/ it. He said that unless I got on his Harley w/ him and ran away, he was going to kill his self right then and there. I did call my little sister and I told her that I was running away w/ my ex-fiance, and she was the only person I would call while I was gone. I told her to tell our parents for me, so they'd know I was ok, but not to tell anybody else. So then I left w/ him, and we headed out west. The plan was that we were going to Vegas to get married. We were on the road for like 4 weeks, and the longer I was w/ him, the more I remembered why I had broken up w/ him to begin w/. We were somewhere in west Texas, I forget the name of the place, and he had gotten really drunk at our motel room and passed out. I looked in his pants pocket and got his wallet, and I slipped out the door. I used what cash he had to buy a bus ticket to Dallas, because he didn't have enough cash on him to buy a bus ticket for anywhere closer to home. On the way to Dallas, I ripped up or cut up everything from his wallet because I was bored, plus I didn't want someone to do identity theft on him, ya know? So when I got to Dallas, I found this strip club and asked if I could dance there for one shift to make money for bus fare, and the manager was nice enough to let me. (I had worked in strip clubs where I go to college at before.) So, I was able to use that money to finally make it back home. When I made it back home, I found out that I had fired from both of my jobs when they didn't hear from me, and also that I was on academic suspension because they had given me F's in all of my classes when I didn't show up for finals. Also, when I didn't show up to move out of my dorm room, they cleaned my room out, so I lost everything in there. In short, I lost my whole life on that trip. But still, in my mind, I did the right thing b/c he would've killed his self otherwise if I hadn't have left with him. I can rebuild what I've lost, and I've already found one new job.

The thing that my best guy friend has the biggest problem w/ was that he said if I was going to steal my ex's wallet, then I should have also stolen his gun and thrown it away or pawned it so that he couldn't use it to kill his self when he woke up and saw that I was gone. I really didn't think about that at the time, and now that it has been pointed out to me, I am a little bit worried about it.

So, did I really handle things as badly as my best guy friend said? (link)
First of all I would like to say there is nothing, i repete NOTHING, that you can do that can't make admends for your wrong.

I will tell you why you fell like crap, it is beacuse as humans we can't change the past, Satan knows that so makes us dewell on the past so we can not make changes in the presdent for a better tomarrow.

I would advice you to turn to God, he is there for you, and his Son, Jesus Christ can help ease your pain because he has suffered everthing that we can exerpince so he may know how to help us each person indivuealy.

I wish you well, as a little orphan name anni said, "the Sun will come out tommarow" and it will. things will go right, you have to put your trust in God, and belive you can change.

I hope this helps

so i'm fourteen years old, my birthday is in december, i'm verrrry mature for my age. i know whats right from wrong, and stuff like that. i just got out of a relationship that was basically based on sexuall things like handjobs, blowjobs, fingering, and stuff. me and my ex boyfriend (16) would do stuff everyday we hung out. it was okay and stuff but idk it made me more mature. i am now in a relationship with a boy that has been my friend since late july ish? i have kinda liked him since late july, but he had a girlfriend till mid august, and i dated my ex boyfriend from late july to late august. anyways, my "new" boyfriend was basically my bestfriend, and i feel really comfortable with him. i kinda want to have sex with him i'm just scared, and i think it's too early, but i still want to. i'm just scared about what would happen, and if i went to the doctors or something they would ask me and i dont want to tell my mom, because i really dont have a good relationship with my mom. i am definatly scared that somehow if one of our parents found out what would happen because my mom and his mom are good friends. he is 16, turning 17 on october 25th. also, we are in a long distance relationship (live about an hour away) but we try to see eacother every weekend beause he has a camp where i do. i need advice about what i should do, and basically a lot of information about sex. :/ (link)
like memtion before, with sex comes reponsblity (no I did not take that from spiderman), just for the record I have known many people who had engaed with such pratices, and they later regreted it, my addvice if you truely care about him, saty away form sexual stuff in general. there are far worst things that can come from such act then just getting Pregenat. (I don't mean to scare you, I just wanted you to know what I have seen, and I don't want you to go through the same things as my dear friends)

but as always the choice is yours

may you find what you are looking for.

Two questions about pre-marriagal sex... first one, am I spelling it right? I just like to know how to spell things, sorry to waste your time. Second one, before Advicenators, I was always under the impression that pre-marriagal sex was just for the screwed-in-the-head potheads and the sluts/whores. But now I'm looking at these questions, and seriously folks, it's just insane how many people are saying "I've been with my b/f three months and we had sex last night, is that too little time?" or something like that. Are my thoughts on pre-marriagal sex wrong? Note: Smartasses get 1s and will be reported. Give me real advice. (link)
well premarital Sex is just that (note I' not being a jerk but giving a offical deffination)
"Pre"- meaning before and "Marital" meaning "Mariage", so the offcial defination (pertaining to Dictionary.com) "Sexual intacorse preceding marriage." with that I would say your thoughs on the subject was right, though the pratice is more embrased than before.

I hope this helps

What are some pagents that ARE NOT scams in Illinois, i looked on google, but came up with nothing. (link)
What kind of pagent looking for?

send me a message if you still need an anwser?


this halloween all my friends are going to get together to have a party, and of course we have to wear costumes. i don't want anything slutty, or anything really stupid either. like i was thinking of being maybe a cat? and wear like black leggings, with a oversized black t-shirt with a think black bow around my waist and then get cat ears and paint whiskers on my face.. would that be good? or any other ideas? and pictures too? (link)
I think it could work,

something eles you can get for your out fits (if you can find them) are black gloves giving a full effect.

you could even bring a ball of yarn to play with at the party (if you think it would be accepted)

I hope this helps

I'll let you know I if I come up with anthing eles.

so this december i'm turning 17 and i'm really excited for my party. i haven't had on in forever, so i want it to be really nice. of course its going to be a little cold outside, but people are probably going to end up going outside anyways cause i have a huge backyard. i'll probably invite somewhere between 20 and 30ish people [coed], and itd be in my basement. i have a bar, pool table, a tv, dvd player, foosball table and a dance floor. so of course i know that theres going to be music and dancing.. but what are some ideas for decorations.. i guess having a theme would be ok too. but any ideas? and what we could do too? (link)
well with it being cold wether, I would think a Summer theme or Haiwii Themed might be fun (with in reason)

you can have grass Skirts lays, flowers, and pineapples (or frute trays)

it will get their mind off the weather


heyy , im torii
im thirteen and im going
to a party with techno & RB music mostly
& i dont really know how to dance to it.. :/
and i was wondering if you have any suggestions
of dance moves and the partys the 14th so i need to learn some FAST id apreciate it greatly
& i dont exactly know how to grind if you can
exsplain that for me so its a little clearer

kthanks
T0Rii BaBiE (link)

To dance is simple first feel the rhythm then move with it. At your age and the party most the people probably won't notice how good or bad you are (unless you’re extreme). I subject that you keep it simple, as you work at it more you can go more advance,

Oh by the way; a little tip from a dancer, Drink lots of WATER 24-48 hours before you go to the party (it will help prevent minor injuries)

I hope this helps.

I have these two plastic bags that my curtains came in that have the little plastic hooks at the top that hung on the hanger at the store. i want to recycle them to hang on my wall and use them in some type of artistic way that will match my room decor. i have this bedding, http://www.amazon.com/iRock-Bed-Bag-%252d-Twin/dp/B0012LY6I8/ref=combo_pack_i_1, my walls are the blue of the comforter, my curtains are the green, all trim is white, one wall is completely collaged in magazine cutouts, and another wall has pictures of my friends and i and some shelves with a few peices of my artwork on them. what can i do with they two bags (put stuff in them, ect., what ever you can think of) to hang on my walls that will look great and match my room?
thanks so much! (link)
well With from what you told me about your room you may I have a few ideas that may or may not work (it's hard for me since I'm not really there looking at it)

1) if the bags are reality flat (which I assume) you can put a notebook, one with a color that will complemt the room (maybe white or orange) in for pratical and decoritive uses

2) use one to put your jornel/diary if you keep one,

3) (I'm not sure if this will work, put a picture you like in it (from a magizen or yourown - you could even make a collage on some cardstock and put it as part of your collage wall

4) what ever you deside to put in it, try puting them in diffrent hieights, angles, and distences from eachother to see how they look together

for example x is your bag

x
x
_________
xx
__________
x
x

i'm 15/f.

i'm really sad about mostly everything in my life. i can't feel happy ever it's like nothing makes me happy. i'm so depressed i'm about to sleep with a guy i've only dated once which i know is bad but there's nothing else i can do. i feel like i have to give in to the pressure of just having relationships for sex because no one wants me for anything else. I need to stop being depressed all the time but i can't. I've felt this way for like 4 years. If i had the balls to end my life right now i would. but i don't. so i'm pretty much stuck here.

i've been on meds and seen shrinks and stuff but nothing works for me. please give me some advice that wont make me feel worse.

i am tired of people calling me ugly and insulting my body. how do you handle that kind of treatment all the time.
i have no friends. i cant keep a relationship for more than 2 months. i hate life. (link)
Where you are now, I once was, I was the fat slow/stupid kid growing up, I never could seem to fit in to anywhere. I hated life, I was always mad and/or sad. I became tried of it then one day I deside to stop looking at the storms in my life and see the sun. there is much good but you have to look for it.

if you are unhappy now, you'll be unhappy after sex, (or marriage, dating, graduiation, job, ...) it is what is known as the "I'll-be-happy-when Sendrum" You can't be made happy from such things, sure you may have a moment of enjoyment that comes with it but as you are probley awear it doesn't last long.

I'll give a few sujestion

1) find a hobbie, something you like doing (it could be writing, drawing, singing, running, walking, reading,...) just "DO" SOMETHING!
2) help someone eles. look for someone who could need your help, and then do it (maybe even do it with out them known it was you-- that always makes me feel better that I put a smile on someone's face and they have no idea who did for them.) I find when you forget your self you'll forget you sorrows.
3) Don't commpare your self with anybody, advoid magizes and say you should look like this or you MUST be like this. don't watch shows that belittle your'self
4) Pray to God (God is a loving Father and is always willing to listen to his children and their problem) just talk to him as if he was in your room.
5) (and this one is a big one) SMILE -- Trust me it works you will feel better if you just learn to smile!

I hopes this helps you
let me know If I can help more n any way

May you find yourfe

recently my friend's little sister died..2 years old and got strangled while trying to get out of her crib.. She got caught or something i'm not really sure how..But she asked me why would God ever EVER take a 2 year old girl away?

And i have no idea could any of you guys help me out on answering this question (link)
I know it is not easy to accept God's will, nor is it easy to understand why things happen the way they do?

I have some ideas that might help both you and your friend.

first of all in all the sripture given to man, a common verser is repeted over and over agian, That God is our Heveanly Father and if we "ask" we will "recive". if you want to understand God's plan one must ask him himself; God will anwser your (and your friend) prayer. talk to him as if he was really there (for he is). also it would be helpful if you understood that God tends for us to learn things and to grow from all experinces. seek to learn the lessons from this trail. Trust God knows what he is doing.

I know that God lives and loves each of us, we can return to him after our time here on earth.

I hope this help u andur friend.

best wishes

i am a 18 year old female and i have met these two people online. they are a couple and are interested in maybe getting together to hook up.. i have been feeling like i am maybe bisexual and maybe this could help me figure that out. the thing is i'm kinda scared to meet up with them just because they are strangers and all. but i have talked to them and they seem real and not creepy. i just need some advice on what to do because i really want to but something bad could happpen. please help. (link)

1st of all This whole bisexual and being gay/lesben, stuff that has been going around is blown out portion. Nobody I repeat NOBODY, is born that way, it goes against nature and God. it is a chose and a life style. nobody can tell you if you are "this or that" because it is not there's to say.

but getting to you question about wether or not to visit with them. Sometime I "gut" (concise, or anything eles you like to call it) gives us warnings only you can deterim it is our own imagination or actual "gut feeling" warning us something is wrong. it takes time to learn the diffrence. I belive that people can recive guidnce on their questions, ponder those question, seek counles from resepted people, Pray about it (if religous, or even if you are not).

I'm sorry I can't give a yes or no stitaion. but in such matters it is not ours to give. I'll leave with one finle warning, "beware what lies behind the masks".

I hope this helps.

This is the first time I'm having a serious relationship with a guy. Most of my relationships don't last for more than a mth, but this guy and I have been going out for 4 mths. I know its not a big deal, but 4 mths is an encouragement to me.

The thing is, How do you girls know if it is the right time to give "it" to him? I don't want our first time to be something that happened just because we felt really horny that day or whatsoever.I'd like it to be meaningful. I know my bf loves me a lot. But I'm just afraid.. what if the relationship won't last? I may be happy now, but what if in the near future it takes a turn for the worst, and that'll be when I regret giving my first time to him. (link)
The best thing I can say is this, Sex is something that needs to be within marriage. I know alot of people say today it's for anyone you love. but the Natural purpose of having such relationships is to have children. If you have no desire to have a family with this person, then that should be a red flag there.

Think about this question. Is this worth the risks? a lot of people say "it won't happen to me" I know of no one that have had it happen to them that didn't think that. such powers of nature should not be taken lightly. I have seen more missory and pain brought about by such reckless actions. lives that never will be the same after.

I sinserly hope this helps you out.

Okay I am so big. I weigh 186 pounds! But I'm tall so that helps. But the doctor says I should weight 145. What do I do. I am going to 4-h camp in ONE month does anyone know what I can do to lose my stomach and leg fat? (link)
this will help, to build off the others said, before each major meal/ and snack if possible, exercise (as much as possible- even if it is only 5 min, it will raises your mabilisim, and make food digest faster. if you like to munch, I recomined filler foods, (such as apples, carrots, cellery, .... these foods will hold you over till each meal.

also this will help, when exercing work the ARMS and the LEGS, they will build musles the fastest, which will help take speed up your mabilisim. also crunches and abb work. keep at it, its a hard prosses.

good luck

Okay...So I have this question for all mormons out there...and hey even if your not I want you to respond...Ive just done alot of studying about the mormon religion and am so confused...not at the facts or anything, but why, if truly knowing their background mormons would believe what they are taught. The religion contradicts itself in so many ways that it just cracks me up. Please know that this is not a bash towards any mormons out there. I love all of you, I just dont "get" you....So please, explain what makes you faith so strong? And Im one to respond to my answers so be warned that I will write to you again. Thanks guys!!??? (link)
not to critize others, but the LDS church really does not condrict at all. true not every members is "live" the way they teach, but I really haven't meet any religion that has. if a gunman who is cathloic (this is only hypothical) goes into a bank and robes it, will that make all cathloics theives? of course not.

if you were refering to doctrine belives not makeing sence, may I suject you take a step back as you would if you were a 2nd grader looking at collage level Algibra. the problem with alot that is out there on the latter day saints is that people today like living in an "instent" world. people want to know what they want to know,and not what they need to know. this probly isn't helping so'll explain. a baby learns to crawl then to stand, then to walking, then to running. what would happen if a baby trys to run before he learns to walk, it isn't going to work, the child will fall. it is the same with learn about the latter day saints.

with out know your question you don't understand, I can go no further. but I'll be happy to anwser any questions you do have.

O by the way, not all members are in the church because of there parents. myself being one of them. I am a member not because I was born into it or my parents made me to be part of it, I wanted to be part of this church because God has awsered my prayers through the power of the Holy Ghost.

I hope this helps you

okay, so this one night me and my friends were driving around and we were talking about how supposedly the end of the world is coming in teh next 10 yesrs. well i am very caring and a scared persona nd when i get so scared about something i freak out! how can i forget about this 'end of the world' stuff forgot so i wont ever remember it and i can live my life like i use dto all free caring having fun but enjoying life? (link)
regardless when it will come, I think you may have a misunderstanding on what will the "end of the world" be like. movies and fanaitcs today try to make the end of the world seem so dark, and terrible, but that isn't the "end" all such times are, are "transition" for something eles. when you cut you hair or fingernails, do they ever not grow back (were not counting age or illness), of course not, life will conutinue on, "death is only a door way we all must pass, the world as we know will die, but only so it may go through the door which death is the key.

it is not to be feared , but I aslo feel we should not be too egger t get there too, like a flower can not bloom till it's time, so it is with this world.

I give you my wittness, God will let us go into something were not ready for, including death. it is part of his plan, for us to gain experince.

I hope this helps
