my boyfriend is 21, and his birthday is in a few weeks. he suggested that he would like an ipod for his birthday but i told him i didnt really have the money for one like mine, i have the 5th gen nano, but he said the shuffle would be perfectly fine since they're only about $40. i'm not a fan of the shuffle myself since it doesn't have a screen. that just seems like it'd be a pain, so i was looking online and came across the Phillips Vibe. has anyone used this mp3 player and liked it? or have the shuffle and dont mind not having a screen? i feel like i personally would want a screen just to make it easier, but the shuffle or the vibe would be more in my price range. my only concern with the vibe is that he is not too technology savvy, so i would probably be helping him download music and put it on the player, but i have never used anything other than itunes and wouldnt even know where to start. is the vibe compatible with itunes? i obviously want to get him something he will use and enjoy, so any advice or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I would get him the shuffle. If that's what he said he would be fine with than that is what you should get him. It shouldn't matter that you don't like if it doesn't have a screen because this is a present for HIM, remember. If it doesn't bother him, than don't let it bother you.

Hi, so yes, I am fifteen and I do smoke. I've been smoking for about a year now. I got my first period when I was eleven years old. So I've had it for about five years. I always had it every other month for 6 days up until recently. As of three months ago, my menstrual cycle has been acting a bit odd. In August, I got my period unusually late. In fact, almost three weeks late. The next month, September, I got my period when it usually comes. It was pretty heavy, but I didn't think much of it. After it ended, about three or four days later, it came back. Much lighter, but it was still obviously my period and not just post-menstrual spotting. Both lasted 7 days. Now this month, October, I got it a little earlier than usual. It was the same as last time, a little heavy, followed by a lighter period two days later. About a week after that, it came back very heavy with horrible cramps and nausea. My body has been extremely sore since it started. I am still currently on it. It's been three days.
Also, I don't know if this is related, but I am sexually active. And I have been since July. Although, since my boyfriend is in college and I don't get to see him too often, we don't have sex often. Only about once or twice a month.
Thanks! (link)

Smoking does not affect your period and neither does being sexually active. What can is stress, anxiety, a change in your eating habits (such as a diet), or a change in your exercise routine. Usually your period can change weeks from month to month, but it isn't a regular occurrence. Now for the heaviness and lightness of your period, that could be another issue. What I suggest you do is you go to the doctors. It may be nothing or it may be something, but it's better to get checked out, especially since this has become a routine problem.

I have liked my friend for almost a year now and I think I really love him. I want to let him know how I feel but I am afraid of jeopardizing our friendship. I don't know what to do. I am 17 and he is older than me, but we don't judge each other by age. I am a girl and I am 17. Thanks in advance for advice. (link)

Honesty is the best policy in my opinion. Just tell him how you feel. Don't make a big show of it by going anywhere romantic. Just do what you two normally do and tell him you have something you'd like to speak with him about. Just know that if he doesn't feel the same for you that you may have a harder time staying friends than he will. If he does say he doesn't feel the same let him know this in no way has an effect on your friendship and that you would like to remain friends if possible. If your friendship is strong this shouldn't jeopardize it. And you never know he may feel the same for you and hasn't said anything because he is concerned for the same reasons. You never know unless you try and you don't always want to be looking back wondering "what if".

Are there any long term side affects to doubling up on birth control (link)
| |
First off doubling up on pills won't protect you better. The only reason to take two at once is if you missed a dose. If you find that you keep forgetting you should find a way to remind yourself. Second, the possible outcomes of doubling up is that it can cause weight gain, possible depression, dryness of the eyes, blood clots, high blood pressure, and you could get headaches. Now you may not experience any of these symptoms or may you may have one or two. It depends on the person.

So at school there is this girl that I really like. There are no other girls like her. Toward the end of the year, I talked to her more but did not get to ask her out to somewhere. It is summer and I cannot stop thinking about her and I cannot wait until I see her. So for one month I am at a class prep program. This girl that I do not know starts talking to me and being nice, I kind of like her but she's not really my type. It is pretty obvious that she likes me. I am scared that If I really start liking her then I might forget about the girl at my school. I like both but the girl at my school I REALLY like. What should I do? As you can see my name TheLonelySoul, I don't get any attention from girls so I am not used to a girl coming to me and stuff. I am usually the one sitting alone listening to music and not talking. I am, M/15 (link)

I say go for it with this girl from your prep program that likes you. I understand how you feel about the other girl, but what if you go back to school and she doesn't like you like that. You may have passed up a chance with a really great girl. There's no harm in going on a date with this girl from your prep program. See if there's anything there. If not then you can try for the girl at school. I say don't give up on an opportunity now for one you may not get later on.

Well I'm not sure where to begin but it seems my past is always afecting every dream every desier and hopes that I have now in the present I was always told that the past is the past and it shouldn't. Be dug up but its always there kicking me in the teeth .I'm not a bad person.in fact I would give the shirt off my back to a complete stranger but people always take advantage of my kindness when I was 16 my mother devorced my dad and I was emancipated as an adult I was living on my own since then I'm 39 now my family has always treated me like an outcast I'm with a woman now we live together as comon law I talk to her about my feelings but I get no comfort just suck it up its ok but its not ok I regret everything that has hapend to me in my past and I can't let. Go of the rejection my family has brought on me maybe its my fault maybe I got what I deseve and just have to live with it the rest of my life and to think nobody understands or even care what I go through everyday I'm still crawling to the otherside but can't. Move forward because I'm in a box and I'm sufacating in my own sorrow is there any hope for me ? (link)

Yes, everyone says the past is the past and just leave it behind, but if you actually haven't dealt with the past it affects the present. You can't move forward if you haven't learned to accept your past for what it is. I want to give some advice to you and maybe you will take it and maybe you won't, but it's been helpful to me in moving forward. I think you should go and see a therapist. Talk to someone who can view what you're feeling from all angles. Someone who can give advice and the support you are looking for. I've had a therapist for a while and it's helped me tremendously. There's this stigma surrounding seeing a therapist, but it's nice to talk to someone who is completely an outsider from your life and who may see things in a way you never even thought about. Plus they can help you realize and understand where some of your emotions stem from and sometimes it's helps you to move on. Don't give up, there's always hope.

I am from Malaysia. Married with 4 kids. Age 40. Husband 47. I caught my husband 6 months after he was having an emotional relationship with one of his chat-mates. That person sent her photos which seems to be a mexican actress photos(not her real photos because i found out that she was from BENIN, west africa).I read some of her mail to my husband. I was extremely hurt and angry and i comfronted my husband. He appologised and told me that it was ended dec 2009.I have no choice but to accept but still hurt and couldnt forget what he had done.After that I secretly traced his working on the internet and found out that he already deleted all of the downloded site which link to the DATINGs site. I checked his mail and so far there are no suspicious email.The problem is he always goes outstation and i wont know whether he is faithful to me or not. Question is what should I do. Can I trust him. Pls advice.

All I can say is sit him down and talk with him. Explain your feelings. Make him aware of what is going on in your head. If you want your marriage to work there has to be open communication. Now, if you are going to forgive him then you have to let the past go. You can't forgive someone and hold on to it because you will never get past it. But just because he apologized does not mean you have to accept it and forgive him. He emotionally connected with someone else and in my opinion that is way more dangerous to a relationship than just sex. You can walk away, that is a choice, but it has to be a choice you make because it's what you truly feel is best.

Hey in 19/f and I'm 5'7 and weigh 144 lbs. I want to become more in shape, tone up my legs mostly and start eating healthy. The only problem i have is that i have no motivation at all to exercise. When i get home from work i'm always too tired and have other things i need to get done around the house. Can anybody give me any encouraging words of advice to make me want to exercise? Also is there a certain exercise routine i should stick to and how long should i do it and how many days a week? Anything would be helpful! Thanks everybody and i do rate.

I'm going through exactly what you are right now. The only piece of advice I can give you is that if you really want to start doing this, you have to mentally force yourself to. Make a commitment of how many times a week you want to work out and do it, no excuses. I think the best thing you can do is when you go home, the moment you walk through the door, put your workout clothes on. This will motivate you to go work out. This way you won't start doing anything around the house, or what I tend to do, sit down and not want to get back up. You are the only person that can make yourself workout, you just have to commit. I can tell you my workout routine during the week. It varies for everyone. I run after work every day, so 5 days a week. It relieves a lot of stress for me and surprisingly enough I have tons of energy afterwards. Biking is also a great way to ton your legs. I do sit ups in the morning and at night because I'm trying to ton my stomach. I have Billy Blanks taebo workout video and on days that I have free time on my hand that I find myself sitting around doing nothing, I will pop that video in and follow along right in my living room. Let me tell you that is one hardcore routine. You don't have to go to a gym to workout and I think that for me that's what helps make it easier to work out. I can walk out my front door and just run. I don't have to get in my car and go anywhere and I'm not staring at a treadmill as the amount of time scrolls by on the screen. I find that deters me from running more whereas running in my neighborhood I have no knowledge of time. I hoped some of this helped. Like I said before, you have to motivate you, find what works for you, and just stick to it.
