Heyy everyone!
This is Lauren. I asked a few questions a while back. The most recent(besides this one) was about books. I didnt exactly get as many reponses as I was looking for. I took some of the advice. I took Shattering Glass, Cut, and A Child Called It from the library and read them. Does anyone know any other good books that deal with relashionships, dealing with abuse or rape, or any other REALLY dramatic books? I also LOVE a good mystery!
Thanks a Ton!

I have a 10 gallon tank and I have 6 fish. Little ones. I know that the perfect temperature to have in the tank is 74/76 degrees. Right now, since it's so hot where I am, it's up to 80. I've tried everything to get the temperature to go down to normal, icecubes, removing warm water and adding cold. The temperature will go down for a few minutes then it just shoots right back up! I have two questions: 1) Does anyone have any other ideas on keeping the tank cool other than what I've been trying? and 2) Is 80 degrees DANGEROUSLY high for my fish? They are regular fresh water tropical fish. I have 2 Neon Tetras, an Angelfish, a Honey Gourami and 2 Zebra Danios, if that helps any. Thanks in advance! (link)
|
i used to have fish and i had the same problem because i live in a very hot place too. at our pet store, they had a water temperature monitor and you set what temperature you want the water to be, then if it gets off, it adds cool/warm water to the tank so it goes back to the correct temperature. but if you're pet store doesn't have that, i'm sure five degrees wouldn't matter much. after all they are tropical fish and have the immune system to stand warm water. if that doesn't work and the fish react to the warm water, go find a fish that can live in 80 degree water, i don't know else to tell you! i hope i've helped.

my mom and my doctor want me on birth control, and its up to me what type to use..so i was wondering whats better, the patch -- or the pill..please help me make my decision! (link)
|
it depends on you're lifestyle. if you are a person who has a hard time swallowing pills, or doesn't have a lot of time to take something daily, the patch would be better because you only apply it once weekly. the pills sometimes can take longer to come into effect (depending on what brand you use) because it has to go through you're digestive system and it doesn't fully work until it hits the bloodstrem, which can take several days to become effective. the patch works more quickly because it is soaked up by the skin and immediately transfered to you're blood. i would say the patch, it's quicker, less hassle, and descrete. and don't worry about the patch falling off, it won't if you leave it alone. it'll stay on through showers and swimming. they only way it'll fall off is if you pick at it purposefully. but if you have concerns with the patch, you could always choose the pill. they are about the same as far as how well they work, there is just slight differences on how it becomes effective and how long it takes. i hope i've helped

i just took a dump before, and it was RED. I dont have my period, and it's not like i'm bleeding out my ass. the shit was red!! I'm like really freaked out, and i just want to kno if this is normal, and if it isnt, what should i do? (link)
|
red waste is NOT a normal thing, it can be a sign of a digestion problem that may be minor or serious. there could be internal bleeding, or a number of other problems. on the other hand, it could just be toxins from you're body comming out, or just red food die, but unlikely. i strongly urge you to go see a doctor as soon as possible. if it is a serious problem, waiting could make it worse, you're best bet is to get seen as soon as you can. i hope i've helped in some way.

Can anyone recommend any workouts I can do to tighten up my lower ab region? i'd prefer something i could do with free weights, or just no weights at all (link)
|
i answered a similar question and this was my answer. i found this workout in seventeen magazine and it worked for me!
okay, here goes.
bend over toe-touch-
1. stand with you legs wider than shoulder width apart. put your left hand on you rhip, and touch your right hand to you left toe.
2. stand up and extend you right arm as you twist your upper body to the right. Do the same move on the other side. Ten toe touches on each side equals one set. do three sets
twisting up-
1. sit with your legs wider than shoulder width apart and arms out to the sides at shoulder level. keep you upperbody straight.
2. gently twist to the right as far as you fan, bending y our arms to bring your chest to the floor. push yourself back up to the first position. do the same movie on your elft side. ten twists on each side equals one set. do three sets.
leg lift sit up-
1. lie on your back wit h you right leg straight out on the floor and your left knee bent. keep your arms at your sides.
2. sit up as you lift your right legs straight up until it's parallel to your bend left leg; hold on to it for two seconds, then slowly lower yourself back to the first position. do the same move with your left leg. ten sit-ups on each side equals one set. do three sets.
crossover sit up-
1. lie on your back with arms at your sides. bend your right leg, keeping your right foor flat on the ground.
2. sit up, keeping your right foor planted as you lift your chest toward your knee (use right arm for balance) then reach your left arm across your right thigh. switch legs and do the same move on the other side. ten sit ups on each side equals one set. do three sets.
v sit up-
1. lie down with legs in the air in a v-position, knees slightly bent. bend your arms, resting elbows on the floor.
2. sit up and try to touch the ground in between teh v, then return to the first position. ten sit-ups equals one set. do three sets
do this routine five times a week and you'll see results in ten days!

carly

do crunches every morning. i say to start of, do 20 at a time, then rest for 30 seconds. that would be one rep, so do three reps. do three reps in the morning, and three reps at night before you go to bed. also before you go to bed, eat a nie big salad. what most peolple don't know, is that salad pushes everything out of your stomach into you're intestines so hardly any of it sits in your stomach and becomes fat. if you eat a salad at night, your stomach will be flatter near your lower abbs. once you get used to the 3 reps of 20, boost it up to 4 reps of 30. and once you get used to that, do 5 reps of 50. just keep doing it in the morning and at night and eat your salad and you should be just fine! good luck!

Alright well i bought some sunless tanner yesterday cuz im going to to a club tonight & i want to be tan! i've never used it before so does anyone have any tips? like i want it to look even & not orange or anything! thanks! i rate high! (link)
|
exfoiliate, exfoiliate, exfoiliate! take a shower before you tan and use a good exfoiliant to get off all the dead skin cells. dead skin cells soak up tons of tanner and that's the main cause of streakiness on you're skin. then once you've dried off, apply lotion to ALL of you're body. that way you have a nice pallate to work with and the tanner goes on smoother and looks better and has a lesser chance of turning orange. to put it on, use a dab about the size of a dime, you want it put it on in small amounts. if you use something like a dab the size of a quarter, you might not get it rubbed in all the way and it could streak! so once you've got it in you're hand, work it on in little circles all over the place. once you get to your ankles, feet/toes, knees, elbows and hands/fingers, mix the tanner with an equal amount of lotion (if it's a foam, just apply another coat of lotion before you use the foam). you need to go really easy on those areas, they're really sensitive to tanners and most of the time thats where oranginess and that fake color turns out. doing your back can be a problem sometimes so ask a friend or you're mom to help you with that. with you're face, apply enough to cover you're forehead then rub it in. then apply enough for your cheeks, then from there get all the other little areas like your nose, chin/lips, eyelids( i know it usually says 'stay away from eyes' but just put it on you're lids or else you'll have to add tons of eyeshaddow to cover up the difference in color.) so once you're completely done, wash you're hands off really good with soap and water, then pat dry with a towel. wait for about five-ten minutes (depending on the product) for it to dry and presto you're done! good luck and i hope it looks really awesome for you! have fun tonite!

Ok today i was talking on the phone with my boyfriend and he said that today it was like diffrent because he didnt know like he didn't want to talk to me. I said maybe its beacause we talk all the time together he said yea i think your right then he said i spend alot of time with you i like spend the most time with you out of all my girlfirends. Wait stop right there is that bad or good it sounds like he dosnet want to talk to me or be with me. !!
Help
(link)
|
of course not! to me it sounds like you just spend a LOT of time with each other. i say take a break from being together all the time (still go out of course, just not as much) so that gives you both time to relax and do you're own thing for a while. he'll respect you for giving him space and you'll both feel more comfortable together when you're together. good luck!

Is there a way to get less hair on your arms and make them lighter without dying them? I dont want to buy anything so plz help! (link)
|
i don't know of any way to make them lighter without buying something. i guess you could use lemon juice but that really doesn't work as fast or well as you can plan. there's several lotions that i know work well because my mom uses them, but they lighten hair quickly. or you could try using "a touch of sun" that you just spray where you want it to go, and put a blow dryer up to it until it is dry. repeat several times if necessary. or if you REALLY don't want to go buy something, here's something that my cousin used and i think it worked for her.
mix together lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, and a tad of clorox bleach (or any type of bleach it doesn't really matter). make sure that around half of the mixture is lemon juice, then one fourth is hydrogen peroxide, and then another fourth bleach. put this on your arms for about five minutes then wash off very well with water, then wash again with soap. good luck, hope this works!

i really need help. I want to break up with my boyfriend cuz im tired of him hurting me and feeling like he doesnt care about me. but... I dont want him to hurt himself / commit suicide. Im talking to him on AIM now and he says i should see all the blood and that it hurts and he doesnt want to live. I havent even told him that i want to break up with him but i think he figured it out.
i want to break up with him but i dont want him to hurt himself. But i think he already has =\. What can i do? I know i should tell somebody about him hurting himself, but i dont really know what to tell them...?? please help me! (link)
|
first of all i would tell his parents or a counselor. they can really help. and if this guy is unstable you shouldn't be with him, he could be dangerous. break it to him gently and be really sweet about it. give him a big hug and a waterbottle that's decorated with little bows and ribbons and stuff that says "best friends" and "love ya like a brother" and just little stuff like that, then fill it with candy and write him a letter saying how much you care about him as a person and how much you really want to help him. that was he knows that even though you broke up with him, you still care. check up on him a lot so he understand that you want him to be better and that you understand too. i hope it all goes well! good luck!

I'm moving to a new school, in a different state this summer. The teacher who had most influence on me, was my chorus teacher. Would it be gay to get him a thank you card, and tell him how great of a teacher he was? (link)
|
no, i think that would be totally thoughtful and nice! he would probably really appreciate it and it would inspire him to reach out to all of his students. and if you're afraid of what the other kids are gunna say...hey you're moving so that takes care of that problem right? lol, i say go for it, it sounds great. good luck!

i am getting an mp3 player but im not sure if i want a zen micro or an ipod mini. any recommendations? i like that i can get orange in zen micro when the closest i coould get is gold in an ipod mini. i also like that there is a sound recorder..but i dont think it has any games..which the ipod mini does. please help! (link)
|
i have a creative mp3 (the same company that prodcues the zen micro's) and i love it. with an ipod you HAVE to use itunes or a cd you buy to be able to put it on you're ipod. with a creative you don't. you can use microsoft media player, real player, rhapsody or the creative software that comes with it. you have a better choice of what ever program works for you so you don't have to mess with learning how to use a new program. the creative's are so easy to use and to work with, so i'd recommend getting that one, becides they're usually cheaper. and yeah, it has the sound recorder which is awesome cos if u hear a song on the radio, you can just plug it in and copy it to ur mp3! i hope it goes well. good luck!

you know those cute skirt bottomed simwsuits? can you swim with them and not have them float underneath you? (link)
|
i'm afraid not. the skirts are usually made of the same material as the swim suit and it's not heavy enough to stay down under water. if you really want it to stay down, maybe try putting a weight on the edge on the inside of the skirt. like maybe glueing a magnet or something like that to weight it down. that's really the only thing i can think of. i hope it works out! good luck!

Hey. I been dancing since I was 4ish-7ish but then I quit. I started going street/Hip-hop lessons now since April. I have a few dance videos but I still cant keep up with them or my dance school! Everyone else is prancing around memorizing all the moves when there is me forgetting the moves and really slow!! I'm not sure how to remember the moves and speed up! Any tips? And yes i do concentrate as hard as I can but i forgot them all even after 2 minutes! Thanks if you can help x (link)
|
yeah, once you quit dancing it's kind of hard to pick it back up. i've been dancing since i was 3 so i know exactly what you're talking about. i say work on ONE dance at a time, then you concentrate on it more and just get your mind set on it. taking notes sometimes works good for people too. keep a journal with you every 8 count or so mark something down to help you remember. i use shorthand so it's faster. if you still need help after memorizing it and writing it down, ask the teacher if you could bring in a casset tape or a cd so she could copy the music to it. a lot of times when i'm trying to practice dances at home, i can't really remember. but once i hear the music it kinda jogs my memory. and i usually dance a lot, i practice all my dances when i first wake up (so i won't be sleepy, which is another plus) when i get home from school, then i usually have dance later on in the day, then i do it right before i go to bed. that way through out the day i know i don't forget it and it stays fresh in my mind. and if all of THAT doesn't work, i'd say ask your teacher if you could come to any more classes so she can personally help you.
as far as the other dancers, forget them. all they do is intemidate you and watching someone else can also make you mess up or forget something. don't be so hard on yourself, i bet you do great! everyone learns at a slower pace than everyone else so it's totally okay! you have to work harder for what you want, but that means in the end all of your hard work will put you at top and hopefully in time you'll become even or surpass the other girls in your class! good luck! let me know how things go!

My boyfriend and I gave our virginity to eachother ( im 14 he 16) and the way we slept together was we snuck out of the house. I got caught and now I am grounded until June 18 now we got caught on April 25 and ever since then he was acting really weird like he didnt like me anymore and everything else but before april 25 we did it 4 times before that. and he acted fine but the thing is he didnt even get in trouble for sneaking out and hes acting really really really weird. like I talked to him about how he's changing and he said he doesnt know whats going on. so i asked him if he's still interested and he said "i guess so" then the next day i asked him do you want to be with me and he didnt answer then we almost broke up but we didnt and then i said to him i need you to be more affectionate and he said no. and hes not going to change or even try to.
This is very confusing but for people who understand me tell me. Should I break up with him? and what is wrong with him!!
I WILL RATE 5'S!! JUST PLEASE HELP ME!! (link)
| |
in my oppinion, from the very beguinning all he wanted was sex. now that you got caught, he sees that he can't have sex with you anymore so he's moving on to try to find another girl. i would dump him, but that's just me
