Q: My family wants to get another dog. We already have a Bichon Frise and we would like to get another small dog, maybe smaller that a Bichon Frise. Does any body know of any good dogs, that work well with children, are cute, arent that expensive, and would work well with another small dog? My Bichon Frise is very sweet if that matters for anything. Thanks!

Q: Is it better to wash your hair in cold water or in hot water? Is it less damaging?

Q: I burnt my finger on the cooker around half an hour ago, ran it under the cold water tap until it stopped hurting and forgot about it. But it's just started to hurt really badly again. I put a cold compress on it and put some antiseptic cream on but it doesn't seem to be stopping the stinging. What can I do?

get an ice pack and keep your finger on it taking off from time to time to see if it still hurts without the ice. then when it does stop hurting then put a bandaid on it. well i hope this helps!

Q: today in lacrosse practice we were running up and down metal bleachers when my leg caught a corner. the cut is a little deep but my friend put peroxide on it and a bandaid. when i got home, i changed the bandage. now i just took a shower and put bacitraycin plus on it but it looks red around the cut. does this mean its infected? if so what do i do (besides see a doctor)??

put hydrogen peroxide on it twice a day and put triple antibiotic ointment or neosporin on the bandage before you put it on the cut. well i hope this helps and i hope that your cut gets better!

Q: ok i have a few very close friends and some not so.. But what i was wondering is... if i ended up on disney channel what do you think they would do? be jelouce? would they still want to be my friends? or just use me?
What would you think if you're friend suddenly out of the blue got excepted on a popular show?
+ concerned and worried

i day go for it!! if they really are your friends then they will support you no matter whatyou decide to do and if some of them do get jealous then just think, they never were your friends and its good to get rid of them because now you know them for what they really are. well i hope this helps and out of curiosity what show would you be on and what your character would be??

Q: Ok..i went sorta on this date last night with this guy i have been chatting on line with. My friend has met him so hes no harm. Well that whole night he would try to talk to me and i just didnt talk much. After the date..i got online and he didnt talk to me at all. My friend called me up a few min later and said i was really boring and didnt show my personality. Do you think this guy should give up? Or do you think he should let me have a second chance?

i think that he should let you have a seconed chance and if he doesnt then i dont think he is very forgiving so if he soes give you a seconed chance then hes good, if he doesnt then hes bad.
hope this helps,

Q: ok well i have this friend call her leah shes 15 and im 14 and the guy joe is 16. ok well leah had a boyfriend who was her age hit her forced her into sex and he did drug her parents found out and she has alot of regrets. well she met this guy named joe hes really cute and nice. he was supposed to come over but never did. leahs really upset thnking hes going to be like her ex she should give joe a second chance he was at the mall instead of coming over what should she do.

signed stuck in the middle

ok first of all i think that you should talk to joe yourself and find out whats up. and if you dont want to talk to him then you should have leah talk to him and, but he might not talk to her, so you should, he might tell you something important, and dont worry, i dont think that he will be like the other boyfriend that she did, i dont think many people could be that mean, well i hope this helps

Q: me and my family are fighting alot lately.. I have a really bad attitude! and I need help! please give me advice! FAST! I'll try anything!

ok when u feel like your going to blow up at your parents faces just walk to the bathroom and close the door quick. or go to your room. walk around and breathe, then if you have a pillow or something grab it and scream into it or just squeeze it this always works for me, and it will stop you from blowing up at your family and make sure you talk to them and tell them wat is on your mind. hope this helps.

ok well this wont make your hair stay curly forever but for the day or at least until you take a shower, this is what i use it is a Revlon strightener, i think that you can get it at Target and to make your hair really straight take a big clip and put most of your hair in it and do that layer and then take down a layer and so on until your done. i hope this helps.
