I have an ATV that I like to ride on in the evenings. I really love ATVs, but I am having a really irritating time staying dry. Sometimes when I'm out it will begin to rain and I really hate to ride the ATV four-wheeler in the rain because I come home soaked. I don't want to end up having to wear a raincoat every time I go out on the ATV. I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, there was some sort of ATV device that could shield the area above me from the rain, but I'm really sort-of new to this ATV riding thing.

Is there something (preferably affordable) I can do to prevent myself from getting soaked in the rain while I ride my ATV or is it inevitable? (link)
hah, im really sorry to say this... but, yeah, you'll get wet no matter what. i've never heard of anything made for an ATV, but id just get used to getting wet, plus mud lets you do all sorts of fun stuff. just be careful on them, and remember your head protection.


I have an assignment based on a local attraction which I have gathered all my information for, I just can't arrange each segment of info into the right questions, it's really confusing me, can anyone help?

I need to focus on three questions:

2. What type of promotions do they use and why they are appropriate

3. How do they meet their customers needs?

I'm a sophomore in high school this year.
I like Spanish, and I'd say I'm pretty good with it. The problem is though that I'm a VERY shy person. Our Spanish teacher does a lot of speaking quizzes where you just spontaneously shout out answers and get graded accordingly. Well, I really don't like getting up in front of everyone to shout out Spanish words. I like to think carefully first, then collect my thoughts, THEN answer. But, I really don't have time to do that lol.
My question is, is there anyway to get over my stage fright? I'm very tired of getting Cs on all my speaking quizzes when I know I could do better. (link)
all you need to do is work through your fear. you need to remember that everyone else in the class is probably in the same boat, they are just dealing with it differently. just remember that by not yelling and screaming the answers, you sitting more in the open than if you would.



and for the record, the is a great idea of learning a second language. having learned french, being able to just come up with the right words instantly like that is a good way to show how comfortable you are with the language.


but just try, it is like anyother skill, you just need to learn it.


hope i helped. if you have anyquestions, just ask.


so i like this guy and i want to ask him out! im 16 and we go to the same school but i have no clue what to say!!

any ideas?

were should we go?
movies?
just hang out?

thanks

for starts, try to pick somewhere more in public, like a movie or free skate.

and for the asking, just ask. either it works, or it doesnt. what you could is say something like... "hey *insert name* do you want to go skating with me next tuesday?" its that easy, replace skating with what ever you want.


okay so my boyfriend and i go to different schools.
i have two of his sweatshirts. and he really hates not being able to see me all the time.
so he said he thinks it would be a lot easier if he had something of mine to remind him of me.
any ideas of something i could give him? ....not underwear/bras....
thanks. (link)
just something that means alot to you. he will see it to. doesnt matter how big or small. as long as it has meaning behind it.


15f

last year, as a freshman in high school, i had gym the period right after lunch. after the first few days of school, i realized that if i ate lunch, i'd cramp SO BADLY in gym. so, for the entirety of last year, i skipped lunch and instead ate a small dinner at 3 pm and another small dinner at six or 7. and the worst part was, some days i'd skip breakfast :(

so THIS YEAR, i know i'll be stressed out but i really want to eat breakfast and lunch. so i want some cute ideas for lunch. i tried googling, "teen lunch ideas" "lunch ideas" and "simple lunch ideas" and i came up with this list.

for the main: peanut butter & jelly with toasted whole wheat bread, turkey and mozzarella on whole wheat, and ham and mustard on whole wheat, nutella & banana on whole wheat? is that too fattening? nutella & sliced strawberries on whole wheat? is that too fattening?

sides: baggies of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, grapes), applesauce, celery & ranch dip, celery & peanut butter, crackers with cheese

drinks: small 8 oz water bottle? how do i make that interesting (i know like water flavorings, but do they work for 8 oz bottles too?) what else besides juice boxes?

so, does anyone have any other SIMPLE suggestions for lunch (or breakfast! i usually eat honey bunches of oats with orange juice, or toast with jam and orange juice)? i'm really picky and i will be forced to throw all the remaining garbage away. as in, no thermoses (no soup, no hot sandwiches) , and no "gladware" (like no salads). so it's pretty much only different sized bags OR pre-packaged foods (e.g, pudding, applesauce). what other healthy snacks are there?

please note: i am not trying to lose weight but i don't want to eat unhealthy foods. so you can recommend some things that are not exactly the healthiest things in the world as sides because i do get sick of plain fruit really fast, unless i add nutella.

i love cold sandwiches. and i don't want to buy ingredients that spoil quickly and you have to use them up really, really fast. cause then i have to eat the SAME thing for 5 days straight to avoid it going bad and i get sick of it. and i want some crispy snacks because i want to cut out chips from my diet, and i don't think pudding is the best choice either. i'm a chocoholic but i can live without it. what's a healthy alternative for fried potato chips that's CRISPY (besides crackers and cheese)?

thank you so much. (link)
for cold samies, just get a block of white cheddar and maybe a block of... edam or havarty, those hold really well. for the meat, you can freeze it if you want, but usualy you can get at least a week or more, and if you have the time, go shoping two or three times a week and get other stuff. one of my favorit samies is just mayo and a good cheese, if you really want, cut up some yellow onion and add that, it is perfect... just bring mints. lol.

breakfast, i make eggs. i dont drink milk, so cereal is out the window. it means getting up earlier, but it can be worth it.


my perfect lunch really only is a samie, lets say: edam, lettuce, tomato, mayo and some onion for a kick; then a salad with an italian dressing: because it is a vinigar based, it holds really well, fridge it at night, but it will be fine; and water or sugar free juice. Eating healthy can also kill the cramps. its when you eat greasy food that you get cramps. playing hockey for 10 years showed me that, if i were to eat Mc.Donalds before a game, i would get cramps, but if i ate a chicken dinner and veg or something, i would be fine.


for the crispy snack, why cant you bring containers? because they really are the "cats ass" in lunches.


So it started last year, I was introduce to this guy named MP, and well it started off nice we would text back and forth and wouldnt stop, well he asked my out, and well we went out for about a week, but the thing is that at school he didnt come up to me at school or talk to me at all, like he is so enexperience, he really never had a girlfriend and well i have had many boyfriends in the past, so i broke it off, and well over the time we would talk occasionly, im really good friends with his sister, and i talk to her but not about him, bc he doesnt talk to her about girls. so i really want to ask her about MP< but idk.... well anyways this year has started and were talking i think again, like in june i was his first real kiss, so i dont know. i dont know if im waasting my time our not. how do you knwo if you are wasting your time?
so this thing has been going on for like a year, but this is his senior yeah and my sophmore year, so yeahhhhh, i dont knwo if i should just move on (link)
do you like him?


Cause you are right, he is unexperienced. everyone has to start somewhere. But, im guessing he really likes you, and just cant show it, well he doesnt know how to. try talking to him?


When you wax..down there..do you like wax the entire thing? Like i hear people do bikini waxes but aren't those like only the inner thighs right near your vagina and all that? Like can you wax the entire thing? (link)
yes, and do it, most guys prefer that. it is, well... sexy. makes it easier for boys want to go down.


I've only dated a couple of guys- enough to get me started I guess... anyways, now I'm more "interested" in guys I guess, than I was before because I know a little bit of how things work. There's nobody I have an ABSOLUTE crush on, but there are a few guys that have caught my eye. I was just wondering, how do you initiate something with someone? I've only been asked out by guys, and I'd like to start taking chances myself and take my own picks. But it seems awkward, like what if they don't take the hint? I don't want to make it so methodical like: flip your hair around him or, wear his favorite color and talk about his interests... I mean, I want it to flow and not seem like work. Any advice? (link)
Well, trying being your self. Don't get someone to like who you arn't. that will end badly. Just, hang out with him. dont go out of your way to hang with him, that might seem creepy at first, but when you get the chance, spend time with him.

He will get the hint, and if he wants, he'll jump at it.


just don't push, it is a HUGE turn off. be your self and everyone wins.


I'm a junior in high school now. So there's this guy that had a major crush on me in 4th 5th and 6th grade (I wasn't interested in boys much back then, I thought it was embarassing), but we went to different schools in 7th and 8th, and then in high school we never had a class together until this year- we have one. He's changed a lot since then, obviously. He's very good looking and funny and smart, and he's a very good actor. But he's been in a realtionship with this girl for at least 3 years now... and her facebook says "married" to him and all- like it's pretty serious. This year I've finally been able to talk to him again, and he flirts with me- during class I got up to turn something in and he's like-"Jess? Jess forgot to turn something in, oh my gosh! *jokingly* Jess was cool, she was in my class in 6th grade, you remember that?" In front of everybody, and then later he gave me a hug and said- I used to have a crush on you, by the way *laughs* And so I guess my question is... I like him... but he's been with his girlfriend SO long. Is there even a chance for me? I don't want to try to steal him away, but I hate just passing him up, he's the guy I could be happiest with. It's kind of depressing... so what am I supposed to do? (link)
same thing i say for most relationship questions, talk to him. You are both mature people now, and can talk through things.

don't get to far into his words because it might be you trying to see only what you want, well listening.



just talk to him, keep talking to keep in un ackward, and that should help it all out.


Alright, first, i am sorry if this is really long but i have a lot to say. Okay, well i like this guy and he "supposedly" liked me. (we "talked" for a week over the summer.) Anyways, tonight i went to a party and he was tickling me and hugging me and picking me up...etc. Well, all my friends (which is a lot) told me they think he likes me because of the way he acts around me and he even told my friend he liked me. Well, later at the party (at the end) he comes up and gave me a huge hug. He was like "I'll see ya later, bye!" Then, after the party my friend told him that i really liked him and he told her not to tell me but he likes someone else and he is "talking" to someone else.I mean, i even admit, he was flirting with me at the party and then he just tells my friend right after that he likes someone else and not to tell me. I don't get it.
I really don't think he is a player. He really is a nice sweet sensitive guy and he dosen't have a "bad" reputation. I am so confused! He is always really nice to me and everything. I mean, all my friends were telling me that they hear he likes me. My questions are,

1. Why is he doing this?
2. Does he like me and the other girl or just her?
4. What do you think?
5. What do i do and how do i act around him now?
6. Should i still flirt or should i lay off?
Thanks! (link)
well, it really depends on age.

if he is like under 16 or so... i bet he has no idea where his heart is going. at that age you jump from girl to another.

firstly you should go talk to him. express what you feel, that is the fastest and best way to get answers.

talk to him first, if you dont get a chance, and he is there at a party or something, test it, just go sit or stand with him and gauge how he reacts, if is still happy, flirt back, and at some point ask if you can talk to him. if he likes you, he will for sure.


but, his age really would help. message me if my guess is off.


I am a 15/M i am ok looking but i am really small in height and weight for my age group. I am horrible about talking to girls that i like and dont know how to approach them in the right way. What are some flirting tips that i can use to get girls to give me a chance. (link)
most important, BE YOUR SELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

add a couple more ! to the end.

just be your-self and be nice. be playful, dont be mean, but... playful... lol, im only joking ways poke fun, only a little bit, and im sure you will go far.

works for me.


Usually on pornos the guy eats the girl out before having sex as foreplay, but do a lot of people actually do this or is it just for the movie? (link)
Some girls like it, some guys like it as well. depends on the people.

some will stop there even and make the oral the main part.


Hi, I am transferring to a new school this year and I don't know too many people that will be in my classes. Any tips on how to make friends/good impression on the first few days of school? Also any tips on how to overcome being shy if new people come and talk to me?
Thank You (link)
be your self man, the only people you can be happy with are people who like you for who you are. and being shy isnt that rare, most kids are. you dont know anyone, it can be scary, but just hold your head up high and say hello and see waht happens. I know it sounds hard, but there is nothing else you can do.


Good luck, and im sure no matter what kind personality you have, there is a group of kids perfect and waiting for you, just you wait.


umm this is kinda embarrassing. so im just gonna let it out...i always get a boner for like no reason..(im a guy)...ill just be sittin there and all of a sudden..ITS THERE! i dont like it. sometimes it can show. is this a problem? is it normal? im cinfused! >>ILL RATE (link)
