It seems impossible to save enough money for a mortgage downpayment. how do most people do it and buy a house? Are there any shortcuts? (link)

Hi, I know how hard it is to save. I'm sure you have the best intentions, but then something comes up, and poof... the money is gone. Try getting together at least $500 and putting it into a CD account then make weekly/bi-weekly deposits. Sometimes its easier if we have someone we can be accountable to. Try asking a sibling, close friend you can trust, or better yet, one of your parents to collect the money from you regularly and make the deposits. If all else fails and you have good credit, try going for a no money down loan. Hope this helps.

I have very curly hair. I used to go to the salon and get it set with rollers then blow dried. However, last winter I discovered the wonders of a straightening iron. They're great. I simply wash my hair, appply some anti frizz serum (Frizz Ease by John Frieda works well). Next I blow dry my hair, just a crazy dry no brushing just make it dry. Then I take 1 section at a time and put it through the straightening iron and it comes out pin straight with a nice shine. I think the irons with ceramic plates work best. Good luck.

14/f I have been with my boyfriend since January. Whenever we go out, I can never eat in front of him. For instance, when we go to six flags together, I usually don't get anything to eat, just something to drink. Same with movies, mall, what have you.
Well. In about a month, we have a Semi-Formal dance coming up at school. This dance includes a catered dinner before they open the dance floor.
I'm afraid to eat in front of my boyfriend. I'm perfectly fine in front of most friends and whatnot, but I'm not the skinniest girl in the world so I think thats probably why I'm shy about eating.
Its not that I think my boyfriend won't accept me or something, because I know he's not at all like that -- but I still won't eat when I'm with him.
What can I do to resolve this problem?

A lot of girls go through what you are facing. It's going to be hard and it's going to feel awkward when you take the first bite around him. But don't worry, it get's much easier. I wasn't thin at all when I began dating so I was especially self conscious. I was afraid the boy would have a joke or something. But it seems like you know this guy pretty well. So just be confident in yourself and in the way he is and enjoy every bite. Start off with something small like another person had said. Share some popcorn at a movie theatre (it will be dark and popcorn is easy to eat). The next time you will feel more comfortable, and before you know it you'll be eating sloppy burgers together :)
