I went to wal mart and got 2 things of non permanent hair dye.

The one brand is LOREAL Color pulse mousse. I got it in Iced coffee just to see what my hair would look like. I wanted to know if it really DOES wash out. i would hate to have my hair like that for more than a week. lol and i was also wondering if you ever tried it? What was youre experiences


One more question:
I also go CLAIROL Herbal essences Color flirt mousse. It says it washes out in 8-10 days. And i got black. It also says Sparkling low risk haircolor.I got the color midnight twinkle(black) I was wondering if anyone used this? experiences? yay or nay? lol

My worries are it wont wash out and will damage my hair. Although, they both say NO AMMONIA AND PEROXIDE.

PS. My hair is very very light blonde =]


THANK YOU SO MUCH! (link)
The Loreal lasts more than a week. My daughter did hers in the purple looking one the last day of school and if the light catches it right you can still catch a hint of the purple. Even right after she did it it was hard to see the purple unless the light was right. The effect it had on the shine of her hair was great. I liked the way it looked so much I bought her another bottle. I don't know about the Clairol mousse but it is probably the same type of thing.
Neither product will damage your hair but with hair as light as yours it may take a while for it to wash out. (My daughter has very dark brown hair. I just bought the iced coffee to do mine to see if it makes my hair look shiny like hers.)


why do people make their beds? no one goes into your room anyway unless you have people over
and you mess your bed up when you sit on it to do stuff and when you sleep you don't want it to be all neat, really, you dont need it since itll be all messed up anyway (link)
It is all about creating "order." For things to be in order things must be in their proper place, position and condition. While no one can truly determine what order is for you for most people for a bedroom to be in order one of the components
is a properly made bed. If the bed isn't made in a certain way the sense of order gets "offended" and it makes people who have a made bed in their scheme for an orderly bedroom feel uncomfortable. When I was a student I didn't mind disorder until it came time for me to study and then I would clean like a fiend until things were tidy because my mind was too cluttered with thoughts other than what I needed to focus on to study. Once I got rid of the clutter in my surroundings the clutter in my thoughts disappeared as well. It is just all part of being a complex living being. Even most mammals of the animal kingdom keep a tidy "home." Just watch birds clearing out their nest in order to get to the business of beginning and raising a family.


I'm staying back and on the day of step up day i cried its ganna stink.I don't know anyone in the grade that im going to be in next year so im ganna make new friends.But what if no one likes me what if they hate me and i dont have friends and have so sit alone........I dont want that to happen im ganna be myself every day but what do i do if they hate....and dont just say be yourself cause im gana be but.
help e katie (link)
I was going to answer later and go on to bed but when I saw your name I had to answer. I have my own Katie who is going into 10th grade. She has been lucky and has been in the same school since kindergarten and fortunately wasn't held back, even though she had some serious learning problems.

Do you truly know why you were held back? Did you not do your work or is there a learning issue that needs to be addressed. Just because no one has said you have a learning problem doesn't mean there isn't one. I have worked with lots of teens who find they have dyslexia, dyscalculia (math problems) or ADHD while in high school or college. If you can get to the right person to get help you could have a totally different outcome this year. If you did slack off then you need to do the work this year. If there is a problem repeating the grade isn't going tohelp if the problem goes without help.

Now for the social problem. I grew up in a military family and went to many, many schools before I graduated from high school. I even moved during my senior year and yet I had a great senior year. If you give people a chance to become your friend then you won't be lonely. Everyone is afraid of being lonely. If you make the first effort to be friendly then you will find yourself making friends fast. Just be nice and stay genuine. You don't have to give people things to make them like you. The most important thing you can give to a friend is just letting them know you care about them and will help them when needed.

Best of luck with the new school year. If you want further information on learning problems you can email me.


Hi, everyone. I'm a 15 year old male, and so is this girl I like. I honestly don't know why I am attracted to her. She is overweight, and that's just a turn off for me, like most other guys. But beside the few extra pounds (actually about 30), she's gorgeous. (or so I think) She had chestnut colored brown hair, and paleish skin in contrast. Her blue eyes are amazing. We sat next to eachother in biology all of last year, as the teacher never changed the seating arrangement. We talked a lot, and I'm very shy, so it was a change for me. She talked to me first, and from then on we became very good friends. She bought me a cake on my birthday & gave it to me in class. She laughs at everything, so I don't know if she thinks I'm funny, or not. But I love it. I love talking to her, I love her laugh, I love how random she is, how different, how uncaring of what people think. (dont get me wrong, shes not a geek or anything, shes in with all the right kids, shes just overweight). I couldn't tell if she liked me, but there's something about her that makes me want to be with her all the time. As I said, this would be awkward for me, because she is overweight, and my friends would definitely have fun teasing me/her over that. I don't know what to do, I asked her for her number & aim screename, so I have those now. Whenever I see her get online, I IM her. I told her when I was doing driving school so she could maybe sign up. I think I'm just confused on what to do. Why is it I'm so attracted to her? Should I tell her how I feel? What about my friends? (link)
You have gotten lots of good advice and you would be wise to take it. When I was in high school I was in your position only I am a girl and liked an overweight boy. I didn't let it bother me because he had so many wonderful qualities and not being conceited or anything I was considered to be pretty and felt I didn't have to prove anything by dating anyone considered good looking. Over the summer while we were dating he lost a lot of weight and became our school's football star. I was the envy of every girl at the school but my guy felt he was the lucky one because he had someone who loved him for who he was on the inside (and the inside if beautiful will probably always stay beautiful while the outside can change quickly. Think about it some of our top Hollywood stars like Nicole Kidman for instance can look drop dead gorgeous in one picture and be truly plain in another. Makeup can make up for a lot of plain.) A person's weight can change but a beautiful inside is truly a precious commodity. Show you are a man and date someone who is beautiful on the inside and who so obviously cares about you.

I have found in my years of observation the best looking guys care little about the looks of their girlfriend whereas the homely guys have the highest standards. When an ugly guy dates a beautiful girl it really helps his standing but it never hurts a handsome guy if he dates someone who isn't considered pretty.

Good luck and I hope you make the right choice.


How many miles away from Columbia, South Carolina is the Eiffel Tower in France? is there a search engine on the internet that can show EXACTLY how many miles from south carolina in the us is from the eiffel tower??? any search engines? Note MAPQUEST DOES NOT HELP! please i need this for an assignment! (link)
Call an airline and find out how many miles from your town to Paris. Then it shouldn't be hard to find out the distance from the airport to the Eiffel Tower. Since the only way a human can get to the Eiffel Tower is by way of the airport (unless you fly or sail into another airport or port) this distance and solution would probably work for a teacher (when I taught social studies it would have worked for me.) Or you can go the old count the miles on a world map route.


Hey everyone..I was just wondering if anyone knows of some good songs to practice the various model walks to...I already have the following:

1. Beyonce- Crazy In Love
2. Kelly Osborne- One Word
3. Beyonce- Deja Vu
4. Kool And The Gang- Jungle Boogie
5. TaTu- All The Things She Said
6. TaTu- Not Gonna Get Us

As some of you may know.."Techno" songs are probably the best to practice to. But I cannot think of any more. So if yall know of any songs with a good steady *not too fast* beat please let me know! Thank You!!!! (link)
What type of modeling are you wanting to practice? I know this sounds odd but there are several kinds: high fashion, Miss America style, pro-am and the list goes on. All of the pageant models I know use Supermodel and Let's get Loud as two of their favorite songs.


what is dyslexia? my bro says he had it in like 1st grade or whatever and he had a hard time in school with spelling and whatnot but now can read better. isnt dyslexia when the letters in words get switched around? (link)
Most people think that dyslexia is when letters and words get mixed around but this is just not true. Dyslexia simply means having trouble reading. I have worked with people of all ages with dyslexia for several years and I have found these people learn in a different way. They are typically very smart but are not being taught in the way that works best for them. I have had great success with dyslexics by teaching them how to focus and then helping them use their strengths to learn to read.

For anyone in any language to read a word you have to know three pieces of information about the word: What it looks like (spelling) what it sounds like (pronunciation) and what it means.

When a dyslexic reads he sees the word and then his brain shows him an image of what the word means. This is relatively easy for a word like cat. Even a word like elephant can be easy if he has ever heard the word used to describe the long trunked animal we call an elephant. Where the dyslexic has problems is when picturing the meaning of a word like "was." His brain wants it to make sense and will use its ability to see things three dimensionally to find something that makes sense. Often the word becomes saw. Is can become Island or I. (Everyone does this to some extent from time to time. I know every time a see a sign in our town that says Sicily's Plaza my brain shows me Sicily's Pizza. Of the people I know everyone has done this.)

Too bad the words that give dyslexics the most problems are the words teachers spend the least time on. They typically just tell a student to learn the sight words. These few words make up over 60 percent of our written vocabulary. If when we teach reading we would spend a lot of time on these words making sure a student thoroughly understands what they mean then there would be few instances of dyslexia. In schools that do this there a very, very few cases of dyslexia (usually 10-20% of students are dyslexic).

Your brother would probably find that with a little of the proper guidance he wouldn't have any problems with reading at all. One of my clients who struggled in 9th and 10th grade is now going to be the number 1 Junior in his class at the US Naval Academy.

Best of luck to you and your brother. If you want more information you can find it at www.dyslexia.com


ok im 13/f/canada and i had sex like last week and we were completly safe and i thought i loved him but he hasnt called since and i just got back from cheer camp (im a cheerleader) and i met this awsome guy and he asked me out and now we r together but i still haveing feeling for the guy that i had sex with like should i stay with the guy im with or go back to the guy i lost my virginity to? plez hhelp me! (link)
Why is it you feel like you have to be with someone. At 13 you have so many important things going on. I have found that when a 13 year old is having sex it is usually an attempt to make up for something she feels like she is missing in her life. You can't make a guy love or even like you by having sex. This is the quickest way to get him to lose respect for you. You need to learn guys love sleeping with girls but they don't like to be with girls in a romantic relationship if the girl has a reputation for sleeping around. If you start having sex at 13 then what is it going to take to give you a thrill at 23? Personally as a person who used to work as a Biologist I know there is no such thing as safe sex, only safer sex. If a condom is only 80 percent effective in preventing pregnancy and a female can only get pregnant a couple of days out of a month then the odds of a condom failing and allowing HIV or Hepatitis through are way higher. You take great risks to both your health and mental well being when you become sexually active at a young age. You really need to rethink what is important in your life (if it is a boy who is important at this stage in your life) then you have some pretty serious problems. I can count on one finger the number of people I know who are with their boyfriend they had when they were 13. When you sleep with someone you give them a part of yourself you can never take back. At 13 I don't know of a single guy who is worth this gift. They are just in it for fun, don't become a plaything. If you continue acting in the way you are acting now this is the reputation you are going to get and finding a wonderful lasting relationship when you get older will be much more difficult. You don't want to be a teen mother without a husband and on welfare when you are 15. You really need to think about the future long term consequences of your actions. You will be far happier in the long run if you do.


This boy asked me to dance at prom (about 1 or 2 months ago). I said yes to be nice, but I really don't like him like that. However, he then tried to follow me around the entire night, always trying to dance with me the whole time. After that we never talked (which, not to be mean, but I was kind of glad about). However apparently his friend got my number from facebook & left me some message, then he called me back to apologize. Then I just went on facebook & under "Status" for his friend it says he is helping the boy try to get a girl. Obviously this is me, since the message was about some date. Basically now I want to know how to turn down this boy without hurting him, in a respectful manner. I honestly do not want to date him, but I am sort of a sensitive person, so I do not want to be mean myself. How do I go about saying no if he does call for a date? (female, 17 years old). (link)
In retrospect you realize you shouldn't have gone with him. If you aren't interested in him and he is interested in you it is not a nice thing to do. Ignoring him the entire night was not a nice thing either. When you are on a date, especially a prom where the guy goes to a lot of trouble it is your responsibility to stay with your date during the dance and dance with him. It sounds like he was doing what he was supposed to do. If I found my daughter treated a date this way she would have been in trouble for being rude (if the young man crossed a line then she knows she can be as rude as she needs to be to get the situation under control before she calls me to come and pick her up. When you go out with someone you are obliging yourself to act in a certain manner and to be attentive to your date until the end of the event. Your actions at the dance do not sound like those of a sensitive person and do in fact sound kind of mean. It makes me wonder if you just don't want to face the unpleasant task of letting the young man know how you feel. A truly caring and sensitive person will know the kindest thing you can do is to be honest and tell him you are very touched by his feelings but you don't have those kind of feelings for him and he deserves someone who is capable of caring for him in a loving and attentive way. He needs to be with someone who not only makes him happy but who is happy to be with him. Frankly he would be miserable with you and needs to know that.

I have been in your situation at your age and know it does no one any good to hide behind fake feelings of sensitivity. Give the guy a chance to find someone worthy of him.


i have diarreah all the time. whats wrong with me ? (link)
Without a whole lot of information I would say the most likely causes are one of two things:

lactose intolerance (go a few days without any dairy products at all and see if this helps. When you add dairy take lactaid or a generic equivalent. If this clears up the problem you have your answer.)

An allergy to the substance they use to wash lettuce and other salad bar items, including salads you buy in a bag at the grocery store. You can try avoiding these items for a few days and see if this helps. If it does then carry Imodium or its generic equivalent with you and take one or two before you eat salad. Most people with this type of diarrhea find they get an almost uncontrollable episode shortly after eating and will have trouble making it to a restroom in time. It can really catch you by surprise if you don't know what is causing it.

Best of luck and hope you feel better. If these two things don't help then you really need to see a doctor because there can be other more serious causes, fortunately the less serious causes are the most common.


If I want to become a physical therapist, do I major in kinesiology? If not, then what do I major in? I'm only a sophomore in high school, but I figured getting to know what I want to do early is better than waiting until the last minute. (link)
Kinesiology is a good major to go to physical therapy school but it isn't the most important thing you need. Most physical therapy schools want someone who has actually worked with and has references from a working physical therapist. The best way to get started is to meet a few physical therapists and get advice from them. If you know someone who is an orthopaedic surgeon they can help steer you in the right direction. I have taught several students who have gone on to become physical therapists and all did summer internships during high school and college to prepare. This makes it very easy to get a great recommendation. Your major isn't nearly as important as the experience. As long as you have the basic core courses recommended by the physical therapy college you will be just fine. I know physical therapists who majored in music but something that includes sports and kinesiology is probably your best bet. My little sister got her degree in kinesiology and found it to be very interesting but it is a little limited in job prospects if you don't get in to p.t. school. I personally like the idea of having something you enjoy to fall back on just in case you don't get into a p.t. program or find you aren't enjoying it if you do get accepted. I found I wanted to be a doctor up until the time I started med school and realized I would rather be home being a mother to my children. Now I enjoy working with children with learning disabilities and earn as much as many of the doctors I know. A wise person once told me all of the knowledge you need to be successful at a career can be found in one line from a song in the movie Flashdance. "Take your passion and make it happen." Best of luck in your future endeavors.
