Hello.
I am 20 weeks pregnant with #1. I want to have a baby shower at about 30 weeks, but I don't know what to do!! I mean, i want to keep costs down, i was planning on having it at mum's. But apart from that, i don't know!! If i invited males and females, there would be about 40 ppl. If it was just females it would be about 15 people.
And should it be a lunch or an afternoon tea? And how can i do either of those easily? Bearing in mind that my family and i are health conscious and want to serve healthful foods.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Is it rude to go to a restaurant for lunch and get people to pay for themselves? Would they still be expected to bring presents then (I know that sounds selfish and rude, but i don't mean it like that).Baby shower advice/help?
Why not just have the shower at 2:00 in the afternoon, which would be after lunch and before dinner. That way no one is really expecting a meal, but maybe a nice snack available and cake. Someone should be throwing the shower for you so that you don't have to worry about these things! Baby shower advice/help?
You should be given a baby shower by your loved ones and not have to worry about planning anything. Normally baby showers are a surprise. I had four kids and got a surprise baby shower every time. So let your loved ones figure all this out and you relax and have a fun time. Good luck.
i think afternoon tea is the best time. you can get some suggestions at http://www.easyninemonths.com/baby_showe鈥?/a>
My Mom and my DH's mom and sister threw a baby shower brunch for me, we kept it to an all female guest list to keep it small. I am not a fan of large events but that is a persnal thing. For food they made a variety of delcious and healthy muffins , fruit trays and fruit kabobs, crescent rolls and a selection of danishes and we served coffee, tea and juices. It was very sweet and enjoyed by all who attended. Breakfast food seems to be more cost effective then lunches and sweets
Tea reminds me of sweet things to accompany it, I'm sure there a variety of healthy deserts, and fruit that could accompany it, A lunch is easy to design a healthy menu for also, sandwiches, veggie trays but is also likely to be a bit more costly depending on your decisions. I would recommend doing it at home/your moms so you can personalize it and enjoy more games and what not.
ok, so the traditional would be to just invite females, the women in my family are very good cooks. If your family is like that, maybe you could ask them to bring a food. However, if your family does not have get-togethers, you may have to take a survey on tastes and allergies for the people attending. Just to make sure that there everyone has a food they like or can eat.
As for time, mid-afternoon is perfect.
If you decide to invite only females,you will need less food and are able to talk about ';girl'; stuff. Usually if you invite men and try to talk about pregnancy or feelings the men get uncomfortable.
If you invite men, you will need more food. If you cant get your family to bring food, or enough food, i would suggest a catering service. some local services may give you a advertising discount. which means, if yo help advertise... like maybe on the invitations, they can give you a small discount.
Im glad if i could help in any way.

Usually a friend or close relative throws the shower for you. I'd go for an afternoon kind of thing. I don't agree with inviting males to showers, but that's just my personal opinion and the way I was raised. I come from a very traditional conservative family that does things usually by the book according to etiquette guides. Emily Post and that kind of thing. If you end up having to do it yourself (shame on your friends) I'd go for a cake and some hor 'dourves. If you wanted to go out, I would not expect others to pay for it, so something at home would be nicer if you are short on cash. Usually people play small shower games with little favors as prizes. Congrats.
First of all,it probably be best to do it at your home.Costs are a big issue but many stores have low prices for items. You might not want to invite males but nothing is wrong with that if you do. The baby shower should be in the afternoon around 1 or 2 o'clock.
Different stores include:
Big lots
Big 99 cent store
Walgreen's
Walmart
You should have at least a couple games. Maybe like 4,or 5.
Theres a few cool games, and here are a couple websites that include games:
www.babyshower101.com
www.babyshowercentral.com
www.baby-shower.com
The food items can be quite tough to handle but you could do these:
Pick up maybe some Fruit/veggie trays
Get some pretzels
You could pick up some Turkey,bread and things to make sandwiches
Some cheese,crackers and little meat cubes
Prizes for the games:
Just look around in the stores I listed
What is a popular thing is to do is to have family members help put it together. Or you can just do it yourself.
Well if you want you can ask anymore questions, and Good Luck!

Does anyone have any advice on how to help me get pregnant?
I have been married for two years and Im ready to have a baby so Im trying to get pregnant, if anyone has any ways to help me please let me know. ThanksDoes anyone have any advice on how to help me get pregnant?
yep, have sex. lol ok ok that was stupid. i'm ttc as well, with my 2nd child, and what i say can help you, is buy an over the counter ovulation prediction kit- what that does is you pee on a tester, and it tells you your two most fertile days out of the month, on those days you should have sex with your hunnie, and hopefully it'll increase your chances of getting preggo.Does anyone have any advice on how to help me get pregnant?
well proper diet and exercise is a good start..so being healthy..knowing your ovulation cycle will help to...that way to best time when you should try... number of times will also affect this to...but as always it's not a guarantee its a chance and you will have to try often enough to increase your chances.
You could speak to your doctor about it if you have one...the will have the best medical advice on the matter.
For my wife and I...we found that we were ready mentally and physically so now we have a son....hes 3 now.
So you need to be ready many ways besides chemically and physically..
and as i was told by others( siblings and friends ) you are never truly ready until you have the child there in your arms and then you still have lots to learn and figure out and all..
So good luck..and I wish you and your significant other ..happiness
Sorry to go out of topic but hmm... well, few weeks back when I was having my hair done at the saloon, I was reading the babyTalk (from the U.S) magazine.
They wrote a review and recommended this website to TTC (trying to conceive) ladies.
They will teach you on eliminating fertility issues even if you're:
late 30s or 40's
have endometriosis
have tubal obstruction
have ovarian cysts or ';lazy ovaries';
without resorting to IVF or IUI procedures or drugs like clomid, fertilid, preseed
Here's the link that you're interested:
http://PregnantMiracle.readthis.ca
well yes there are lots of tips that can help you, i am TTc myself and this site has been wonderful this is what i use
go to amazon.co.uk this is a great site type in ovulation predictor kits, these kits are cheap, you pee on a dip stick everyday after your period, adn if the test line is the same or darker than the control line then you are about to ovulate (usually within 24/36 hrs) this is when u should get jiggy with ur man as its the best time to conceive, as soon as u see that dark line, and do it everyday the line is dark and the day the line is faint, cos that would show that you have ovulated and the sperm should be there waiting for the egg, also i use a BBT thermometer, this shows u your resting temp u do it first thing in the morning, before u even get out of bed so have it at arms length, a shift in temp shows that u have ovulated, you can chart ur temps at fertilityfriend.com (or co.uk) lol, using both of these methods together will give u a great advantage on when to coneive instead of just guessing
i hope this helps

Bad brows need help and advice?
I hate my eyebrows they are uneven and one is higher than the other and one is kind of thicker than the other and i told my mom i wanted to get them waxed but she doesn't really want me to. THey look horrible and i get embarrassed any way of fixing them easily or talking to my mom about getting them done?Bad brows need help and advice?
tell her that they bother you and make you unconfident and talk her into getting them done or have her give you tips.Bad brows need help and advice?
u could try and just pluck em till there even....
or try to convince ur mom to get them waxed: you could say that u would pay for it of 1/2 of it. or that u get embarrased and it would boost ur self-esteem
WAT U CAN DO IS TELL UR MOM IF U CAN CLEAN UR EYEBROWS AND NOT SHAPE THEM...MY MOM NEVER WANTED ME TO DO MY EYEVROWS AT FIRST SO I JUST CLEANED THEM...
You could mess waxing up doing it yourself the first time. Try tweezing one at a time, if you can't talk your mom into it.
I get my daughter's eyebrows waxed. It's pain for about 5-10 minutes and then beautiful. She's twelve.
It's tough being a kid and being embarrassed and self concious about stuff like that.
Have you had a heart to heart and let her know that you are embarrassed by them? Explain how it makes you feel. If you get made fun of because of it, let her know. What reason has she given you for not getting it done? It only costs between 10 and 15 bucks. Generally, you can get it done in any beauty shop. Next time ask while they are cutting your hair.
She could even wax them for you at home if you trust her not to mess it up. If they are uneven, it may take a trained professional.
You could do some research, try some girls magazines websites where they give girly tips and they'll tell you how to do it. Tweezing is definitely the best. Waxing hurts a lot more and doesn't last as long.
wax
Nu brows by Anastasia and castor oil overnighnt. Gonna help.)
You can tell your mom that you are embaresed and try to persuade her. if that doesnt work then pluck them with tweezers.
you don't need parental consent to get them waxed. it's very inexpensive, under ten dollars. you can get this done at any hair salon, even the cheap chain stores like great clips, etc. if it really bothers you, get them done by all means!
If you can't get them waxed, you should probably shape them yourself with a pair of tweezers. Draw on the shape you want with a white eyeliner, then just pluck the hairs that aren't white. Make sure you pluck just one hair at a time to check your progress. Plucking too many hairs can look just as bad as having too thick an eyebrow. Smooth a calming lotion on afterwards, but expect redness for a while anyway (don't do it just before you're leaving the house.)
just tweeze them. you can even them out yourself. its not that hard. just make sure you dont over pluck.
Find someone you know who has great looking brows from waxing, then find out who she goes to for waxing and go to that person. It will surprise you how nice a professionally waxed brow can look. Be careful who you go to though. There is a difference between getting brows waxed and getting brows styled.
1] go to google, and check how to pluck [ or shape ] brows
2] shower or bathe first
3] get a good magnifying mirror, clean tweezers, and good lighting.
4] pluck 3-5 hairs on one brow, then do other side [ so they stay even ]
5] pluck under, and between brows only - not on top
6] apply cold compress for 15 min after done, then witch hazel or toner [ not astringent ] to close pores
I know alot of girls who are in middle school or high school that get brows waked also try plucking them but just tell your mom it does not cost that much and it will up your confidence
Ps be careful when plucking that not too much is plucked
Shar! Ur Eyebrows look pretty! I dont tink deres anyting wrong wit em!! If dey bother u dat much dough maybe we could see if there's a place we could go get them done :)
I tink dey fine dough. U pretty!
Dearest,
Tiff Tiff
let em grow back full then got wax once ifmum will say yes then just keep up shape youself after ,,job done in the mean time use eyeliner pen to even out your brows same colour of course

You will def get good answers there.
oh yea..you can just copy paste your question on there
Hope this helps! good luck :)Boyfriend help advice from boys and girls pleaseee?
Ok, honey you are beautiful and that it true. All you need to do is be in an environment where there mostly everybody rather than just girls and just guys. FYI everybody likes something different from a everyone else. For instance, I like people who would wear a rain coat at their prom when it's raining while everyone is soaking wet and doesn't want a rain coat 'cause they think it's stupid. Surround yourself with positive people with good personalities. But, before you jump think '; Do I want a guy to like me for me? '; And if he does, then God bless him. Everyone is unique is their own way. These things take time, but, as I always say you never know when you're gonna get something. Hope this helped, blessings!
Try going to the movies with some of your girlfriends on like Friday.
Then you will probably see some guys there your age.
Just start talking to them and alll. Then if you become friends with them. They have guyfriends.. and so on ahah.
Hope I helped!

Usually a friend or close relative throws the shower for you. I'd go for an afternoon kind of thing. I don't agree with inviting males to showers, but that's just my personal opinion and the way I was raised. I come from a very traditional conservative family that does things usually by the book according to etiquette guides. Emily Post and that kind of thing. If you end up having to do it yourself (shame on your friends) I'd go for a cake and some hor 'dourves. If you wanted to go out, I would not expect others to pay for it, so something at home would be nicer if you are short on cash. Usually people play small shower games with little favors as prizes. Congrats.
First of all,it probably be best to do it at your home.Costs are a big issue but many stores have low prices for items. You might not want to invite males but nothing is wrong with that if you do. The baby shower should be in the afternoon around 1 or 2 o'clock.
Different stores include:
Big lots
Big 99 cent store
Walgreen's
Walmart
You should have at least a couple games. Maybe like 4,or 5.
Theres a few cool games, and here are a couple websites that include games:
www.babyshower101.com
www.babyshowercentral.com
www.baby-shower.com
The food items can be quite tough to handle but you could do these:
Pick up maybe some Fruit/veggie trays
Get some pretzels
You could pick up some Turkey,bread and things to make sandwiches
Some cheese,crackers and little meat cubes
Prizes for the games:
Just look around in the stores I listed
What is a popular thing is to do is to have family members help put it together. Or you can just do it yourself.
Well if you want you can ask anymore questions, and Good Luck!
Oh and Congratalations
First relationship advice?!? HELP? 10 points!!?
I like this guy and he likes me. I want to date him but if i do, what kind of things should i do? DONT say anything nasty or inappropriate coz ur just wasting ur time. Im young and i kno im not supposed to but i want to get a bit of experience and learn from these mistakes im going to make. So any advice?
How was YOURS like?First relationship advice?!? HELP? 10 points!!?
You question should be what should I NOT do.
Talking to much is annoying to a guy
Asking questions about his family is out
talking about anything political or religious is out
talking about other guys is out
Asking a lot of personal questions about him is out.
Putting a lot of expectations on him is out.
Dating is just a interview to a possible relationship its the time to see if you as a couple are compatible. You do fun things laugh and frolic. Be yourself because that's who you really are.
I think my first real relationship of any kind was in 5th grade. She was next door and I played with her just like I would a guy. Sports cruzing the neighborhood looking for secret places, riding bikes. As to the sexual part I had already had plenty.. As time when on I had many girlfriends and soon we drifted apart..First relationship advice?!? HELP? 10 points!!?
Guys are after one thing You, That aside, you need to establish a relationship based on honesty and communication. If you don't know each other what else are you going to do? Sex will not make up for not knowing him or him knowing you. I tried that lasted a few months was fun, but had not basis. Wish it never happened would have been better without that one. Now it.s look for a relationship all else will follow. Date him and get to know him you to be friends, then lovers just because your close don't mean you have to have sex even if most guys think that way.

Need help/advice for trying to conceive?
My husband and I are trying to conceive baby #2. Problem is I have a different cycle every month. I may have 25 days between periods one month and the next month be 28. This month in particular I started 30 days in between. Anyone have any advice or knowledge on when would be a good time frame to conceive with such different days every month? Thank You all in advance for the info or advice. :)Need help/advice for trying to conceive?
My doctor told me this
From the first day of your period
Add ten days
Have sex every other day, five times(different days)
This should cover most people time
You can always add days at both end to make sure
every other day, to get good strong swimmersNeed help/advice for trying to conceive?
just have sex every other day from day 10 until day 18 (alot of people actually ovulate later then earlier).
Try taking your basal body temperature (BBT) everyday from day 1 of your cycle (ie your period). BBT is your body's ';resting'; temperature. Best when taken 1st thing in the morning, at approximately the same time every morning, before you get out of bed. Then chart your temperature every day. When you see your BBT spike, it means that you have ovulated/are ovulating.
As a rule of thumb, 3 to 4 times intercourse per week will help you conceive. After intercourse, rest your buttock on a pillow for at least 20 minutes to allow as much semen as possible to stay in your body.
Good luck!

What advice would you give to singles over the age of thirty to help end their relationship drought?
Help me to research my next book on singles! What kinds of places are best to meet other singles? Is a change of attitude the solution to finding a partner? What are some tips for reducing commitment phobia from prospective partners? How did you overcome your single status?What advice would you give to singles over the age of thirty to help end their relationship drought?
Think outside the square! You may have an image of someone that you think is just right for you, but if you open yourself up to more people, you may just be surprised how happy you can be. I married a man completely different to my 'wish-list' guy - we have very little in common but we compliment each other and things never get boring. Changing what you are looking for does not mean settling for less, it means opening your eyes to a wider range of possibilities.
I met someone at work, but if you are looking for someone caring and nurturing, volunteer somewhere; if you want someone who shares your politics, join an action group; if you want someone who cares for the earth, join a community garden project; if you want someone sporty, join a sport club.
Don't go into a relationship with an image of how you want things to look - that is way too much pressure - enjoy the person for who they are and the relationship (in whatever form it is supposed to take) will follow. Plus, because you are not trying to get someone to be a certain way and you are just having fun, you naturally are going to be more attractive, to them and yourself.What advice would you give to singles over the age of thirty to help end their relationship drought?
Well....I don't have commitment phobia, but I do have marriage phobia....so I have no wish to ';overcome'; my single status....I want to stay single, as a middle-aged, divorced woman with two grown children, AND I want to have a committed relationship with a man around my age. The man I'm with seems to be that man....
I would say and quit looking and it will come. Also, find a hobby--something out there you are passionate about to take your mind off of relationships. There is more to life than dating.
well first u need to discover urself then go out more with ur other friends who r single or go out to clubs alone n dress really sexy get a make over n dont look the same all the time
make sure u have a different look for every occasion .
For me, I meet people at work, networking through friends (get the word out that you're available!), or at some community events, concerts, parks, etc. As a woman, church is not a good option since the majority of the congregations seem to be older women.
I also think we do need an attitude adjustment. Good men are hard to find at any age. But as we get older, there are fewer of them to go around since their life expectancy is less. I often get asked out by people young enough to be my son. I am healthy, look young, feel young and act young. Plus men can be mature at 25 and immature at 60. So why am I hesitant? We need to think outside the box and ralize that society is starting to appreciate older women now. Remeber - 60 is the new 40.
try web sites like friends reunited dating or match.com or others like those. they are cool and as well as meeting prospective partners you can make some good friends. I met may partner this way and so did a friend of mine who has since married her bloke. good luck
You need to go out ---more ---painful as this can be--- bite the bullet but do things that you enjoy ---no point in getting bored ----remember life is too short and being 30 plus does not last long. Always be very polite to people around you and to casual acquaintances ---there are rules on social etiquette good rules--- its about being kinder and just more loving and caring---look after yourself re nutritious food and being fit--- body image is important and you will have more energy. Put more effort in to your work (employment). More than is required. Partake in activities that are exciting. With a lot of energy and such excitement who could resist you!!! if things are still dull shopping therapy is good and just so much fun.Give away the things you have you need refreshing, a new exciting you not at all dull colourless and boring
i'm not over 30 but i have family members in this situation. if you've joined clubs, travelled the world, moved, made a new set of friend, go out to different places, changed jobs and you still can't find them then try the internet.
Take a risk and ask. It takes courage to put yourself up on the chopping block, but just do it anyway.
TO SPICE UP THEIR LIFE, FIND NEW THINGS, FREEKY THINGS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.
Trust me on this one, all you need to do is go out with some friends and find the guys that are with their friends. Don't try any type of internet thing where they match you up with a random guy in your area. Another good idea is to ask one f your friends to set you up on a blind date. thats always fun and maybe your even meet your dream guy. hopefully this advice works!
yes as many here have said, join to a club or a physical activity, swimming, team sports are the best...
or start a class, drawing, sculpture, tango ufff!! even cooking you would be amazed of the treasures you can find in these can a places.
Good luck!
I don't give advice.
Been in drought since 98 can you help me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze
Sorry. I'm trying to get over my 50 year old drought.
Good luck with your book. I'll buy it for my daughter.
Whatever you decide to do, follow your heart and listen to God speaking. This is how I allowed myself to fall in love again. I let go of the fear and found a wonderful friend, lover and, finally, husband. It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been totally open to the voice in my heart, my conscious, my guide.
Start doing activities that help other folks like community activities, stuff with church or helping the poor, meals on wheels. You will find a great person by doing these things and it will give you a great feeling knowing you helped needy people.
well my husband met in a way that normal people don't met we meet one another I was walking with a friend girl of mine I was walking her home one evening and he was at his girl friends house at the time washing his car and he spoke to us and we spoke back and by the way I was pregnant with my son, but I could tell by the glear in his eyes that he was looking at me in the way he shouldn't have been I never say this man again until about eight months after I had my baby he had to make me remember the first time we saw each other we were at a night club he took me home and wanted to kiss me ,but I told him no not on my lips,but he could kiss my cheek and he walked me to my door and we saw each other again about a year later and we exchanged numbers and started dating and we got married two years later and we are working on 20 years of marriage this July.
get out do something
The advice that I would give them is that you should tell them that you know that there is someone in the world that is just right for you go out there and find your one true love.
ummm
Just go get out there, go to every party, every outing, if your not out there you cant meet anyone!!! try new clothes change a hairstlye, so many thing you could do, its finding the confidence to do theses things that are hard, but you would be surpirsed that if you did meet someone your confidence would sore, and your life will take a huge turn for the better!
so try change one thing about either your hair or clothes or go to a party you normally would not go to!!! it just might work.....
One great place to meet men is the grocery store or laundry matt, believe it or not. Attached men would never go there. single men hate gorocery shopping and hate doing laundry so if they are there chances are they are single. The change in attitude is knowing that yes it will happen but not when I want it too when fate says it will. So I stopped looking for a partner and just lived my life the way I always did. Then on the internet I met a friend and we have been friends for 2 months and then he started to really like me, we will meet soon and we just enjoy each others humour and laugh a lot, keep it lite and before you know it, you got him or her. Life is too short to be unhappy, live and laugh and then if it shows up love like life will be over tomorrow. Love answering these questions. Take care and good luck with your book Heather
Try to find ur answer in this lines
I m sure u will be satisfied with it
Look i guarantee that v will have tough times.
and i guarante that at sum point 1 or both of us will want to get out.
But i also guarante that if i dont ask u to be mine, i will regret it for the rest of my life.
Bcoz i know in my heart u r the only one for me.
I wish I could answer your question. I'm 52 and I've been on a drought run for 5 years. The older you get the more you realize the good ones are gone. That sucks, because I like sex just like everyone else does.
Grocery store and hardware stores. Single events, and places where most singles go to have fun and hang out.
find a guy or girl who is living in sub-continent he will surely give you a chance for prospective partnership.People are very loyal and mostly honest there
A Church Singles group with two leaders: A husband and wife that can be a great example of what it takes to be in a relationship without the commitment phobia.
i believe you have to get out there and feel good before you find someone special you can find nice guys anywere guys knowwhen you are feeling good and positive about yourself thats when they want to appraoch you more.
Go to the closest bar and get hammered. You are sure to find someone drunk enough to take home with you....even if you're butt ugly.

Hi
First things first - get the site off MySpace and get your own domain.
By all means have your own myspace pages linking deep into your own domain as part of your strategy.
keeping exclusively with myspace will ensure that any PR you do is for MySpace and not your site!!
As others have said use forums, blogs etc to create links with RELEVANT content.
To make sure you are seen one of the most important factors about any SEO strategy is CONTENT, CONTENT and more CONTENT.
If you are forced to stay on myspace then GET RID OF FLASH - search engines hate it!!
Any pages you promote - ask them for a return link
good luck

Hi www.myspace.com/gigsinyourarea
I'd advise you stick to the free methods for the time being. They may be a little costly in terms of time but they don't dent your pocket.
Articles: this is a good way to advertise since it allows you to write a detailed report or review about your product or just use some really catchy copy. You can write these yourself (cheapest) or hire a freelancer (costs but perhaps easier). To boost sales a good idea is to put your link at the bottom of the article or in the body of text. This way people who are interested in your products can go straight to your site. Be sure to use keywords in your article to help search engines find it. A good site to post on is ezine articles (its what i use).
Blogs: pretty much the same as above. Keep them short and sweet. Good if you update your products regularly as you can post any new developments or whatever. Again use links. Blogger is a good site for this but there are many others.
Forums: they can be time consuming but offer you a captive audience and basically an niche market of customers since the forums are usually very specific. Simply search the forums, find the best one and start posting. Get yourself known and use your profile as the promotional tool, placing your url in their so forum users can go to your site.
SEO: search engine optimisation - a fancy term which basically means using keywords in your website and other tricks to ensure you rank high in the search engines. Its a really competetive method and not as free as it sounds with programs and other tricks to ensure that your sight is optimised. To be fair the above methods are more promising.
Online communities: sites like facebook have tons of traffic going to them daily and numerous options for advertising. As you know people waste hours on these sites so where better to place ads. Not only that but they have groups where discussions are held (groups that you can set up, control and use to push your site). Even your profile can be a haven for advertising your site. As usual you want to have links in whatever you do. I know i harp on about this but if you miss an opportunity to place a link then you will kick yourself.
Emails: pretty good to allow people to know about upcoming events or your blog page. To build a list you need some way to get people to give you their email. The online communities and forums are good for this. Perhaps you could create a landing page with a email sign up form. Whatever method you use make sure you don't overdo it. You don't want to scare off customers by emailing them too often so keep it to important changes or updates but make sure you do it often enough so they don't forget about you.
Finally i give you the paid for method.
PPC or pay per click is a cracking way to advertise. Basically you look up keywords related to your site then you go to a company such as google adwords or adsense and you bid for these keywords. Bids can be from $10-$50 per keyword and it can get very expensive. When you have bid on the keywords succesfully though whenever they are entered in an appropriate search engine then your link will appear in the sponsored links section (other SE's may have different areas). This makes sure lots of people see your link but its a competitive market so you may have to pay top dollar to get anything half way decent. Again expense is the issue here and unless you have a budget then this may be the wrong method for you.
I hope this helps your business and the best of luck.

Dating advice help pls
I really like this girl. We went to the movies recently and I paid for her ticket. So over the weekend she's going abroad and she told me she'd message me.
And her message said ';I will miss u';. It's driving me crazy thinking - help, how do I make her like me more? Or fall for me. I really really like her and I don't want her to think I'm freaky (By telling her I like her - so cliched) And it's different because I'm a girl too. Btw I'm the more butch kind I guess. Usually it's supposed to be me making the first move get what i mean?
Helppppp! Do you think she likes me? Dating advice help pls
wait till she gets back and tell her you like her and see what her response is go for it girl or youll never knowDating advice help pls
Sorrry, you will have no power over other people's emotions or behaviors.
Go where you want to go, be who you are, and there, you will find the person who probably is doing the same, almost seeming to have been waiting for you all along.
Enjoy that person's company. There's the one for you!
say : i'll miss u too XD (the XD is included in the message)

Healthcare job advice or further education HELP?
I am currently an EMT-B. I am in school for nursing, but I have a two year wait to start the three year program at Oakland University. I have been unable to find a job as an EMT and am looking for suggestions of helpful certifications I can get to help open up the career field. I really just want to jump into the healthcare field ASAP and am having a hard time getting my foot in the door. I have considered phlebotomy, medical assistant, massage therapist, practical nurse, nurse assistant...Any help is GREATHealthcare job advice or further education HELP?
do the practical nursing. it is most closest to being a nurse and the pay is very decent compared to the others you have listedHealthcare job advice or further education HELP?
Is there not another school you can go to other than Oakland U so that you don't have a 2 year wait?
Some hospitals hire EMT's to work as technicians.
Large companies sometimes hire EMT's to preform insurance exams for employment.
I would think an assisted living would also hire an EMT.

Missing my dog and need some advice on what else to do HELP please?
My dog last Friday night runs up the street to see his little girlfriend, like clock work! Well this time he never came back. The next day I go around the neighborhood and show a picture asking if they have seen him and if they do where I live if so,
I am offering a hundred and fifity dollar reward.. I thought that was a nice incentive. The postman, ice creme man everyone possible.. Evey night sence then I call , look.. I've gone crazy I hear dogs bark every where, never realized how in tune I'd be ..
Ok so is there anything else creative I havn't thought of ? Anything..Also heres the kicker.. Down the street is a house and that very night I could hear a dog sounded like him.. 3:30 am. ???? Almost a week later %26amp; today I let my other two dogs out , telling them go find Pepper . They always go down there.. I still hear this dog he barks in a garage.. How do approach w/o looking suspect?Missing my dog and need some advice on what else to do HELP please?
well FIRST--YOU DONT LET YOUR DOGS RUN AROUND OUT FRONT LOOSE!!!! have you called the local animal shelter to make sure he wasnt picked up? i'd go to the garage and call your dogs name and see if it responds like he knows you and talk to it. if it is your dog i'd go knock on the door or ring the bell and confront them. if they still deny it- call the police. just dont be a dumbass and tell them you LET him out. say that he ';got out';.. if that is not your dog you may put up posters all over locally and hope someone sees him.Missing my dog and need some advice on what else to do HELP please?
You need to go the owner of the house that you think your dog is in the garage of. You must ring their doorbell and ask if they have seen your dog. If they say ';no,'; then explain what you have been hearing at night. If they still say ';no,'; then you need to tell the police. If you think that your dog is in that garage, then the police will handle it.
Please let me know how it goes! I REALLY want to know! You can email me at: pethelper4@yahoo.com! Thanks, good luck!
I think I would try the honest way. Knock on their door, explain your story and and ask if who you hear could be your dog?
Just pray.
Looks like someone stole your dog. You should walk him down to see his friend.
I'd approach the house and see if he barks when you call him at the garage. If he does, and anyone comes out of the house tell them what happend and then ask them if they've found a dog. If they lie and say no, tell them you think that is your dog and do they mind if you have a look at him. If they again say no, call the police. You have a right to get your dog back.
go to the local dog pound and spend some time with a neglected animal....stop feeling sorry and focusing in on your loss....an unfamiliar friend would help....and enjoy your attention....and if you think you hear your dog, contact the police and report what you suspect...a knock on the door could be your resolution.
What kind of dog is it? It is possible someone knew you had an expensive dog. they finally see it alone and get it. if it is the person down the streetwait till they are gone then look in the garage windows! Call animal control
Call your local animal control and report him missing. You can also tell them that you suspect he may be at a neighbors and let them investigate.
List him as missing on www.petfinder.com.
STOP letting your other dogs run loose. The same could come of them. If you're lucky enough to get him back, keep him safe.
Hopefully he didn't get hit by a car.
Go to the door, tell the people your ';pet ferret'; jumped out og your hands and ran under their garage door, and your Dad, who is the ';county sheriff'; will be pissed if you do not get the ferret back......and if your dog is in there, kick the guy in the knee cap.
I would go down to that house and knock on the door and ask them if they have seen Pepper. If they are nice at all, they will give you your little dog back. If they are not, get proof she is there and call the police. This is ridiculous. It's obvious that she wants to go home. I wish you all the best on this.
Go get her!

HELP! ADVICE NEEDED! Is Kicker ZX750.1 a good amp for 12'; L7 4ohm wired at 2ohm?
Dont really have much knowledge on car audio. I have 2 L7's and was thinking of getting one amp for each sub. Is this a good idea or not? Which amp would you recommend. I going to get the box built and my system installed by a professional but im just missing the amp selection and then its off to get installed. THANKS in advance.HELP! ADVICE NEEDED! Is Kicker ZX750.1 a good amp for 12'; L7 4ohm wired at 2ohm?
that would work really well and help u in th long run if one amp ever goes bad u have another and if you ran one big one it wold put more stress to it this will be very sufficient
make sure you power them correctly thoHELP! ADVICE NEEDED! Is Kicker ZX750.1 a good amp for 12'; L7 4ohm wired at 2ohm?
sounds perfect.
I run four L7's on four 850's
but either way works just fine.
you could also go with the zx1500 for both...
2 Kicker 12'; L7 are 750rms and 1500watts peak
the ZX750.1 would bump one L7 perfectly. but for 2 L7s i would go with the same amp i got. The KX2500.1. I got this hooked up two 15'; CVXs. This amp is a beast i wouldnt steer you wrong.
Go for it! Put one ZX750.1 on each sub!
Have Fun!

I need some relationship advice, help?
my boyfriend just graduated from high school and I feel like we are not as close at all anymore. like when we talk its different, i feel like there's maybe something missing I've never been someone to be attached and ditch my friends for him, so this is new for me. what should I do?I need some relationship advice, help?
talk to him about how you're feeling. if things dont get better, break it off. :DI need some relationship advice, help?
talk about it...
did ya'll break up?
i feel the same way :(
did u break up?? if so u feel this way 4 th way u left it. if u r still in high skool u r stuck thr with all th memories tht th 2 of u had 2gether. if u didnt, u miss him and wish u could c him more often lik ur high skool relationship. u prob want wht u r 2 havin and miss it.
You should just talk to him and ask him if he feels the same way and go from there.
good luck
Time if flying by everyone these days. It's putting major affect on us. It's just because you're starting your future things are getting stressful. It will get better, you just have to settle into the new environment. If you two are really really close, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I hope I helped!
----Dear Bunni
I can tell that you love this person a lot. Haha,coincidentally enough, I dated a senior in high school.
Well, when people graduate, some of them become...different. No one really knows why. It could be the new atmosphere that they're trying to get accustomed to. Or, it just might be a maturity shock. It all depends on the person.
My advice? Try to get to know this 'new person'. But don't go to the point where you start ditching your friends for this guy. Get to know this person on your own time. You'll soon figure out if he's changed for the better or worse.
Talk to him. Nothing's ever gonna change if you don't make a change. If you don't do anything about it, then this is how it's gonna be. Talk to him, tell him how you're feeling. Maybe even write it out first, get all your feelings out without having any interruptions and then you'll know exactly what you want to say
But p.s. guys will come and go... but true friends will last forever. you may find one great guy right away or you may go through a hundred guys before you find the right one, but best friends are always there for you. Don't ditch them for a guy. It's not worth risking a lasting friendship for something that may end that night.
Bottom line: Talk to him. Nothing's gonna change if you don't make the change. Keep that in mind. Good luck and hope this helps :)
You shouldn't ever ditch your friends for a guy.. All you can do is talk to him and find out how hes feeling :)
Talk to him! Any relationship, friends, work or lovers should always have a foundation of communication. Otherwise it will all grow weak.
Remember that everything needs constant nurturing in order to grow. Any relationship that is destined to survive will need communication, understanding and appreciation as well as support and acceptance.
Best of luck to you both, you sound like a very sweet person!
email me
Just like everyone else said. Have a detail talk with him. He must have something to say. Believe me talking b/w couples do wonder and resolve things.
as we get older we pull away form different things and people, maybe he has al ot on his mind with collage or work just set down and talk it out.
I think you should try and talk to him..just to see what he feels about it. Relationships are all about communication..and compromise. Even if u r not the kind to be ';attached';, u still need to make sure u allow time for your significant other...
just sit down with each other and talk it out. Ask him if he's feeling the same way or what he thinks about the whole thing. Both of you as a couple need to be able to sit and talk about eachothers feelings and opinions because, trust me, letting it go wont do anything but make it worse. Hope this helps and i wish you 2 the best of luck%26lt;3
talk to him thats all you can do. Sounds like things ar coming to an end
I think u should break apart for ur college year still(sorta) go out but still meet new ppl at ur college and see if ur high school love is more loving than da one u meet at college! and tell ur high school love before u go to college about the meeting ppl and seeing if yall r the one! u'll never know ur college boo could be ur husband!!!!! :) and ur friends will love u for wat ur desision is (if there ur real friends) and u dont even have to ditch them just try to make things work! like at least once a week or twice ur friends can go out and one night u go out wit ur boo!
talk to him about how you're feeling. if things dont get better, break it off. :DI need some relationship advice, help?

Bottom line: Talk to him. Nothing's gonna change if you don't make the change. Keep that in mind. Good luck and hope this helps :)
You shouldn't ever ditch your friends for a guy.. All you can do is talk to him and find out how hes feeling :)
Talk to him! Any relationship, friends, work or lovers should always have a foundation of communication. Otherwise it will all grow weak.
Remember that everything needs constant nurturing in order to grow. Any relationship that is destined to survive will need communication, understanding and appreciation as well as support and acceptance.
Best of luck to you both, you sound like a very sweet person!
email me
Just like everyone else said. Have a detail talk with him. He must have something to say. Believe me talking b/w couples do wonder and resolve things.
as we get older we pull away form different things and people, maybe he has al ot on his mind with collage or work just set down and talk it out.
I think you should try and talk to him..just to see what he feels about it. Relationships are all about communication..and compromise. Even if u r not the kind to be ';attached';, u still need to make sure u allow time for your significant other...
just sit down with each other and talk it out. Ask him if he's feeling the same way or what he thinks about the whole thing. Both of you as a couple need to be able to sit and talk about eachothers feelings and opinions because, trust me, letting it go wont do anything but make it worse. Hope this helps and i wish you 2 the best of luck%26lt;3
talk to him thats all you can do. Sounds like things ar coming to an end
I think u should break apart for ur college year still(sorta) go out but still meet new ppl at ur college and see if ur high school love is more loving than da one u meet at college! and tell ur high school love before u go to college about the meeting ppl and seeing if yall r the one! u'll never know ur college boo could be ur husband!!!!! :) and ur friends will love u for wat ur desision is (if there ur real friends) and u dont even have to ditch them just try to make things work! like at least once a week or twice ur friends can go out and one night u go out wit ur boo!

NEED A PROFESSIONAL COSMETOLOGISTS ADVICE!! HELP?
Im trying to dye my hair from a recent dyed dark brown to a really nice caramel blondish. almost like bronze. But i do not want to bleach it. How do i do it. Should i use a 40 developer? and what brand to use i was thinking a brand called so color?.. Only answer if you can honestly help me without telling me to use bleach. because i know theres other options. even if its a more then a one day process i'll take it. thankss so much.NEED A PROFESSIONAL COSMETOLOGISTS ADVICE!! HELP?
I'm a cosmo, and YES you most certainly can achieve the color you desire without bleach. You don't have to necessarily use 40Vol, it all depends on the color. I'm guessing you're going to use a box color? Or are you going to Sally's or something like that and doing it with color and developer? Or, and I hope you can do this, do you have a friend that's a pro, so you can go buy good color at a professional beauty supply place?
At any rate, you should pick a color closest to the color you want to achieve and use a 20 or 30 V developer. I lighten client's hair daily without the need for bleach. Just pick a nice caramel/blondish, and depending on your method, lighten it with color.
Hope this helped a little, If i could see pics, it would really help :)

I love my guy, but he's abusive(both ways). I need advice on how to leave him, but I'm scared, please help.?
I know I seem stupid for staying in for three years,please don't judge me (he's been abusive for the past 8 mon) but I love him, and I feel like nobody else will understand me the way he does, love me the way he does. I feel trapped and scared. Any suggestions?I love my guy, but he's abusive(both ways). I need advice on how to leave him, but I'm scared, please help.?
ok do not call ur self stupid,
you leave when he is not there,go to a shelter do not look back. do not feel sorry for him , u say he understands u sweetie if he did don't u think he would know he is hurting u, sweetie u love him cause he is all u know . he is not and will not change, he will beg , and plead he will tell you he is sorry he won't do it again. that is bull they all say that.
Tell me do u have any close friends left,
How often do u c ur family. u probally don't much cause he has pulled u away from every one. cause he said he needs u there for him.
he don't want u to work cause u may find another .
tell me do u feel like if maybe you could do something right for once he will love u more and stop,
he is not will not. leave t.m . when he is work grab, clothes kids ,and what ever any money go.
do not worry about big things just go , and get to your local women's shelter they will help u from there, do not call friends or family , u can put ur life at risk if u do. once u do this do not go back he may kill u. sweetie they don't change I swear they don't just leave.I love my guy, but he's abusive(both ways). I need advice on how to leave him, but I'm scared, please help.?
Don't feel stupid, leaving isn't an easy thing to do. No one deserves to be abused. If you feel that you are not safe then it may be best to leave. Even though you love him, how could he love you if he treats you that way. You can go to your local court and file a temporary order of protection, restraining order, against him, This will help you to get out safely. The police can even help you leave or help you get him out. There is someone else out there, it seems like there isn't and this could be very difficult to get over. But you deserve a guy who will treat you right. Everyone deserves to feel safe and to be safe.
First off you need some support on your side. If you are worried he will hurt you physically then they you need to call the police non emergency # and they should be able to refer you to a shelter. If it is mostly mental abuse then have a strong friend who is able to defend you (in case he shows up) and help you pack up when he is at work so you don't get abused even more. Of course you feel trapped thats normal in a situation like this he is making you feel this way so you don't leave him. People can play mind games and turn things around and make you feel like the one causing the harm. After leaving if you feel you need to discuss the end to the relationship with him make sure you have support around you. This is not love if he is hurting you this way it's an illusion of love. I know it hurts but please... Find help quickly.
Honey, you've got to get OUT of there %26amp; NOW. I've been involved w/abuse %26amp; domestic violence. It is only going to get much WORSE as time goes by. Please trust me on this. There is something deep inside an abuser that makes them the way they are. Most of it started when they were younger %26amp; it just keeps boiling inside of them %26amp; they take it out on you. You're the closest one to them, that's why it's you who suffers. It's called ';displaced anger';. The ONLY thing that w/make it better is for them to get good professional help w/anger management, %26amp; it's NOT going to happen over nite. I would highly suggest you get a restraining order taken out against him which would protect you from him coming near you or contacting you in any way. IF he does, you have the law to protect you, %26amp; they WILL. Please do NOT take a chance of getting hurt badly one of these times or WORSE. YES, I DO mean it. You think it's bad now, don't wait around to see that I was rite %26amp; it does get worse %26amp; you get hurt badly. Go to the police %26amp; get that restraining order ASAP. You NEED to be protected, this is the ONLY WAY to do it. You have to take care of you, no one else is going to...all the best to you, %26amp; DO IT, you CAN...:)
Im sorry but he abuses you why are you still there? I also must agree with jordan this is not something i understand.
He can not love you and then abuse you, he wants to control you, that isnt love. Unless you want to be in a position where its too late to save yourself you need to get your family and friends( if he hasnt shut you off from your friends, family will always be there) involved so they can help you move out and away from this guy and then you need to report him to the police, because once your gone if you dont he will just move on and abuse another woman. Your family will support you. There are also womens shelters for exactly this purpose. Dont let it continue, know that you deserve better, know that no man has a right to abuse you in any way shape or form.
No one that truly loves you could do what he is doing and I know deep down you know it too you just want to believe that he loves you, he doesnt and he isnt protecting you and it isnt for your own good. Get help and get out..sooner before you have no later.
I hope this was helpful and you pay attention to what ive told you. Good luck you deserve a better life than the one you are living right now.
Ok I'm a woman who has been through a abusive marriage myself.
and all I can say to you is anyone that has never lived through it won't understand what it does to you.My thing was he would threaten me with my mom and two younger brothers. I was young and stupid and I now regret it everyday of my life for not leaving sooner than I did.If you truly want out which I suggest you do ASAP.forget the OP and restraining orders they are only papers it don't stop them but go to your local police get a officer and have him there with you grab only the things you need and your childrens things and go to a battered womens home.Do this imeadiately or you could end up like me with one of your children laying to rest in a cemetary and feeling guilt for not leaving just a few months earlier.GET OUT NOW !!!

Love you the way he does? He's abusive! What part of hurt don't you understand? He doesn't know how to love. Get out while your still in one piece and find someone that knows how to love and treat you right. Apparently you haven't experienced real love yet. If you had, you would know that being with someone that disrespects you by verbal and physical abuse...is not love. You are missing out on something truly beautiful. Give yourself a chance to be happy, you deserve it. RUN...and don't ever look back.
Honey, if this character understood you and loved you, he wouldn't be abusive to you. Unless that's what you want. Is that what you want? I didn't think so. So, he doesn't really understand you or really love you, now does he? So why are you staying? Girl, love is not an excuse for everything.
leave him but when walking out the door, do not say its best I not see you for a while, because what he will do then is punch you in the eyes to cause swellin so that you are not able to see him for a while, find someone who will hide you for a few months until you can figure things out, you have to get away, no more punching bag
You don't put up a post like this and then ask people not to judge you. Seems like abused women always love their abusers....it's a concept I am unable to grasp. If you fear for your life, then get an order of protection from the court (not a restraining order....that's different). The quick answer is just to leave. Of course, you have made a confusing statement in ';I feel trapped';...with no details, who can advise you?
I thought love wasn't suppose to hurt is that the way you like to be loved, how is he understanding you by beating you, my suggestion is leave get out no one needs that and you have choices do whatever it takes, love yourself enough to, he has lowered your self-esteem you can always do better.
If you don't leave like a smart woman, you'll seem even more stupid.
Jordan's response is the best anyone could give, really. I'll never understand it, either.
You are to good for that! maybe get a restraining order... or maybe just leave when he is not around and go somewhere he can find you.

Ahh! help! I need acting advice. I'm 13, btww!?
I'm in the 7th grade and after 8th grade, I will obviously be moving on into high school. I really want to go into the acting business %26amp; I am wondering if there are any acting schools in the North Jersey area? I can't find any but I guess I'm not searching right. %26amp; Any tips for a 13 year old who wants to go into acting? Thank you!
xoxo.Ahh! help! I need acting advice. I'm 13, btww!?
Contact a local theater and inquire about classes. Many theaters offer acting classes taught by their own actors. And even if your theater doesn't, someone there will have the information you need.
Ignore people who tell you to find an agent, since legitimate agents don't take on clients who don't already have acting experience. But if you take classes and appear in a few theatrical productions, you'll have all the experience you need to shop for an agent who may be able to find you other work. Good luck to you!Ahh! help! I need acting advice. I'm 13, btww!?
Yeah, google map: Acting agencies in North New Jersey
they'll pull up answers: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en%26amp;tab=wl click on some and go to one... Get an agent
I'm thirteen and i wanna be an actress too :P
No.
What 13 yr old doesnt want to become famous? You'll grow out of it when you grow up :)

Im 15 years old and i cant get hard anymore.PLEASE HELP,serious advice only?
I cant hard AT ALL.I also see a decrease in my size.Me and my girlfriend tried to have sex again but i couldnt get hard at all.it was very embarrasing.what do i do?The last time we had sex i was kinda high,could that be that reason?and if so what do i do to make it normal again?i dont smoke at all anymore because ive learned my lesson...pleeeeaaase help meIm 15 years old and i cant get hard anymore.PLEASE HELP,serious advice only?
It's all in your head...the more you get worried...the more stress you'll become! And you girlfriend isn't probably helping much. You bouth should try to relax...go out...have fun...try to get it out of your head for a while! There're so many interesting things to do besides sex...well maybe not for a 15 year old...but at least try!
And seriously there's no way your wink's decreasing in size...that's IMPOSSIBLE! Man just lay of the drugs...it's stupid...and it want help.
Good Luck! xxxxxIm 15 years old and i cant get hard anymore.PLEASE HELP,serious advice only?
Drugs and Alcohol can affect any man's Penis,when it comes to erections. Also. over stimulation, Masturbation,can lead to erection problems. Try this: Don't Do Drugs, Don't Drink and Give It A Rest. And When you Masturbate keep your penis as erect as long as possible.and you'll be just fine
Drugs can definitely affect erectile performance.
If you're irresponsible enough to use drugs at such a young age then there's a good chance you're not using contraceptives properly either.
Advice: 1) Lay off the drugs. 2) Make sure you don't get anyone pregnant. 3) Erections are the least of your problems until you get caught with the drugs and go to jail.
ok dear dont worry. Every thing is normal. when you think over it that i am not able to do sex. you be like this. when you failed, it was only because of fear. Take yoga %26amp; exercise. Medicine you cant take Mentate(Ayurvadic medicine) and also prodape capsule for getting confidance.
If this is only happening when you're with your girlfriend (and not by yourself) than it is your nerves. Sounds like performance anxiety to me. Just relax and don't feel pressure to have sex unless you both feel like it. Take things slower and incorporate foreplay.
are u people trying to help or make fun of the guy...
DAMN!!!
dude, dont worry ...that happens sometimes...but I dont think its cuz of u being high.....otherwise there would be like thousands of guys having the same issue...
Its cuz u are kinda stressed dude.....U D1ck cant be decreasing in size....that is IMPOSSIBLE....its not gonna happen...at least you chop off a piece of it...which Im sure u arent willing to do right???
good....just relax...and try masturbating ...that would wake up ur little friend down there....
GOOD LUCK!!!
Drugs and sex together at your age???
Hope you learnt a lesson from it.
Go see a doctor if you cannot get hard within a week.
Try to masturbate and see what happens.
Sky.
Stop all drugsm stop all tobacco, all alcohol, and stop masturbating.
I agree with socratic method! You have got far more important things to worry about at your age!!!!! Like school!!!!! With no exams/qualifications and the ability to have sex you will get nowhere!!!!
ALL JOKE A SIDE YOU REALLY NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND GET A CHECK UP. OR ORDER YOU A PENIS PUMP. BUT THAT FOR MEN IN THERE LATE 40'S TO 60.
That's funny.
Serious answers only. How serious can you take a 15 year old asking about sexual function?
Thanks for the laugh
Someone your age should be using Viagra.
Theres nothing the ole hand cant work out!

I really need help and advice with relationship problems
me and my girlfriend have been dating for over a year now, and i just started noticing she has been acting different around me, like she didn't want to talk to me for a while and didn't want anything to do with me. so i called her and had this long talk on the phone i asked what was up and was saying she was feeling awkward around me at times and sometimes feels like talking to me would be weird. she never gave me an answer why so i was giving her options i asked if she wanted a break from out relationship and she said no. i asked if she wanted to break up and she said no and that she still loves me. i need help i don't know why or how she feels awkward and i don't know what to do to fix it, i really love this girl but i cant figure out a solution.I really need help and advice with relationship problems
It seems like she's confused about something and I think maybe it would be a good idea if you guys spent a little time apart. The saying, ';Absence makes the heart grow fonder,'; could work towards your advantage. Take a break for a few days, or a week or two, and then talk to each other again. Maybe by then she won't be so confused and you guys can work it out. Good luck!I really need help and advice with relationship problems
i might tell her that maybe it would be best for yall to take a break and get things sorted out and have some space and if after yall want to go back out then let things happen

ps: how much do they usually let you barrow? and do we have to pay back instantly every month for my case?Student loans advice..Help?
It depends on your grade level and whether you are considered an independent or a dependent student.
1st year dependent students are eligible for $5500 but their parents can take out a Plus loan for any amount.
To apply for student loans go to your FA Office!

Can anybody please give me some help or advice?
Hi im about 12 weeks pregnant now and im still so sick its taking over my life! i only work at the weekends now because im so tired all the time and i just stay in bed all day pretty much and get up to be sick, i hardly eat anymore because ive gone off food so much :(
i hardly see my friends anymore and i have no energy what so ever, my mum says she never been so worried about me.
I dont know what to do :S will this pass? i feel so depressed!Can anybody please give me some help or advice?
The good news is, you're pregnant. The bad news is, you will probably feel sick for at least the first trimester. Morning sickness can happen throughout the day, and it can last throughout your pregnancy, so follow these steps to ease the nausea.
Try not to let yourself get hungry; an empty stomach can increase nausea.
Keep a supply of Saltine crackers handy. Have some in the morning before you get out of bed to settle your stomach.
Avoid high-fat foods - especially fried foods - and stay away from spicy and acidic foods.
Eat foods high in B vitamins, which decrease nausea.
Add a bit of ginger to your diet in the form of ginger ale, ginger tea or gingersnaps. Or use ginger in your recipes.
Experiment with natural remedies such as papaya enzyme, vitamin B-6 or acupressure wristbands.
Drink plenty of water between meals. Try sparkling water with a slice of lemon.
Take your prenatal vitamins with food. Your nausea will increase if you take them on an empty stomach.
Avoid taking iron supplements in the first trimester unless you are anemic. Iron can be hard on your stomach.
Utilize the fleeting moments when you feel OK to eat healthful foods and get a little exercise.
Take care mommy =) Hopefully it will pass soon...mine ended around 15 weeks but every is different..I followed these tips and it really helped...hope this helps you hun, congrats =)Can anybody please give me some help or advice?
You should start feeling better in the coming weeks. Normally the second trimester brings a ton of relief with it! You will have more energy, less nausea, better appetite etc.
If you feel the sickness is taking over life and you really are having a hard time eating, you should speak to your doctor. They can prescribe anti-nausea pills so you can function.
Sickness throughout an entire pregnancy (Hypermesis Gravidarum-not sure I spelled the second part correctly) is pretty rare but does happen.
Mention all of this to your doctor, they can help you out!
It will take over your life, because you are going through a change. You are tired because you are not eating healthy. And if you hardly eat anything now it will cause all those symptoms. You really need to take care of yourself if you don't want an unhealthy baby, then your life will even be more taken over.
Get up and get some sunshine and eat some vegetable soup with crackers. You don't have to eat a lot . But you must eat something if you want this feeling to pass.
Get use to not seeing your friends, at least until the baby is born.
I think this will pass because your body will start to crave all sorts of things. It ( your Body ) will try to help you have a healthy baby. It also wants and needs you to be healthy. Take a warm bath, take a long walk. Go to the library and get a good book. Relax and pamper yourself. Go to the movies with your friends. Do anything to break this cycle. You may not feel like it but force yourself. Good Luck.
Morning sickness is horrible, but it means you are producing plenty of growth hormone for the baby and that is a good sign. Being pregnant will affect your energy levels so resting is not a bad thing. It is a mum's job to worry, comes with the job description
I used to have a plain biscuit before I got up (left it on my bedside before I went to bed) and anything with ginger in it helped me
It will pass and it is rare for morning sickness to cause problems Just watch your liquid intake so you don't dehydrate.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
For most women morning sickness and tiredness peaks around 8-12 weeks, meaning that normally you will be feeling a whole lot better soon. Yes there are gals who are sick throughout pregnancy, but that's only a few - you should start to feel better next week, including a return of energy.
sickness does tend to end after the first trimester, so fingers crossed any time soon this should start to ease up!
And i know it must be difficult ( i'm speaking from experience here) but you do need to try and keep eating, even though it is hard and makes you feel appauling the baby will lack in the goodness it needs if you are just getting rid of everything in your body!
try eating little and often, and biscuits and toast seem to be ok as they are dry and also they are not as horrible to bring back up.
all the best and i hope you start to feel better soon x
Yes it is normal and it will pass hopefully within the next few weeks. Right aroundthe start of your second trimester sickness tends to wear off so you should be fine, maybe give your Dr. a ring and see what they say just to be safe. Good Luck :)
If you are that sick your doctor should be able to give you somehting to help ease the sickness. Give a call to the doctor or talk to her/him at your next appointment. I hope it all works out for you. Good Luck!
You're almost there, hang on for a few more days, a week maybe and hopefully you'll feel better soon. I wasn't sick at all, just very mild nausea. The baby should move up soon and you'll feel better after. Good luck!
anything with ginger in is good....try not to get depressed hold on to the thought of what this is all for and how worth it it will be when you hold your baby!
they told us to eat something salty before you even get outta bed stay away from greasy foods eat alot of fruit and veggies and stay away from meats as much as possible and drink clear fluids ginger ale is the best or sprite best of luck
i hardly see my friends anymore and i have no energy what so ever, my mum says she never been so worried about me.

Help! I have my driving test tomorrow and im so nervous, any advice?
I have failed it once before and now i have very little confidence. I know im a good driver but i can't stop thinking about what could go wrong.Help! I have my driving test tomorrow and im so nervous, any advice?
You will be fine, I failed first time on stupid things because of my nerves my instructor was really frustrated as this made my nerves worse and i kept putting my next test off as i was so scared, Eventually i went for it again, I booked it for 8:30 in the morning so i wasnt dwelling on it all day, Took some rescue remedy in the morning, Then again at the test centre and just went for it ( i just kept telling myself it was just a little drive and if i failed i would do it again and again i would just keep trying and this took the pressure of) I passed second time with 10 minors a month ago. So remember if you make a mistake just foret about it and move on, On my reverse round corner i was going to far out and starting to flap so i said can i start again pulled up took a deep breath and tried again and got it right second time ( on the manouveres you can start again so if you know you are going wrong stop and start again) Best of luck to you and remember to tell yourself if you fail you can do it again so you dont feel so pressured. Its only a little drive just imagine its a friend you are giving a lift. It is nerve racking but you will do it. Good luck.Help! I have my driving test tomorrow and im so nervous, any advice?
My best advice is
If you make a mistake, don't panic and don't worry about it - as it was probably only enough to count as a minor. I took my test three times, and made a simple minor mistake, and got all caught up on it, and went on to make more silly mistakes, which resulted in my failing.
The fourth time I made a mistake, I thought 'oh well, mistakes happen' and because I didn't get all hung up on the fact I'd made an error, I passed the test with only 4 minors.
honestly nerves are a good thing i took 3 times to pass and on the first 2 i quite confident and failed them both the third time i was in bits i mean really freaking out and was so sure i would fail but i passed that was 11 years ago just go with it you will be fine.oh and calms dont work i tried those waste of money.
go and buy some calms this will help
a big fat dooby did the job for me!! ha

The average number of months it takes a couple to conceive is 8. You've only been actively trying for POSSIBLY 4 months (maybe less).
If you don't conceive after 12 consecutive months of trying, using fertility methods (ovulation detectors, etc), then you need to make an appointment with your doctor for a full physical and possibly fertility tests.
Sometimes it just takes a little bit before it happens.I dont know whats wrong with me,plz help,advice?
For goodness sake relax you don't get pregnant just like that (when your trying) There is a number of factors if you have been on the pill it can take a while for it to clear from you body. Have a word with you doctor. there are supplements you can take speak to your local pharmacist about ';folic acid';.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY YOUR MARRIAGE :-)
stop trying so hard. i know a lot of people who want to have a baby and that's all they ever think about. just let what happens in the bedroom be magical and then I'm sure a baby will pop up. so relax and let God decide when your ready.

Help I need advice on how to organize closest and office without it costing a fortune.?
Look at the kits available, then look at the space you have. Then buy the components separately as you can afford them.
I did that, and it cost me around $90.00 total for a complete closet organization.
That includes 2 6-foot shelves that also act as clothes hanging bars, 4 15';x32'; shelves, 2 15'x24'; shelves, and 3 shoe racks.Help I need advice on how to organize closest and office without it costing a fortune.?
Start with decluttering. It is free except for the time it takes and you can streamline that effort to be very efficient. Decluttering your stuff removes a lot of expense because you don't have as much left over to store and organize, so less containers, less time and supplies to clean.
Lots of containers out there! They are available to suit every need, every taste, and every budget. Find the ones that suit your home that you can afford. Keep in mind, though, that there are free storage containers for deep storage (attic, basement, etc) that do not have to be pretty. These are found at the LIQUOR store. Ask for boxes from 24 packs of longneck beer, they have uniform size, handles, and are very sturdy, AND they sometimes have cardboard grid dividers for each bottle that you can either use, or remove...some however, only have four sixpack containers. Other booze boxes may not give you identical sizes but they will also be nice sizes and very very sturdy. A case of liquor needs to be easy enough to handle but also needs a sturdy box. If you want, you can outfit them for more display by wrapping them with giftwrap. Try your hand at wrapping so you can still utilize the box and get to it without unwrapping. You can also change the look easily if you want to...the place I can see this idea used most is for things like out of season clothes boxed on the floor or shelf of the closet.
Another way to organize on the cheap is to use your existing furniture, drawers, cabinets, and shelves to keep things separated. Again this is free. If you are considering letting go of any furniture or replacing it, keep storage in mind, is this a versatile piece? A dresser is simply a bank of drawers, it doesn't HAVE to go in a bedroom for clothing. It can be a lovely office piece, in a corner of the kitchen, IN a walk in closet, in the hall for linens, in the dining room for dinner party stuff. A bookshelf is simply that as well, it doesn't HAVE to hold books. You can organize things in neat piles inside your furniture, skip the containers, a little more effort to keep it corralled but certainly not impossible.
Bookends might be another way to keep things together. Videos, photo albums, CD's. You don't NEED a commercially made specialized rack for anything.
For closet kits, you MAY come out ahead buying the materials to make your own. Brackets, shelving, hardware, maybe a plan. Check home and garden websites from TV networks to see if you can find a recipe for a great do-it-yourself closet system. It wouldn't be in wicker or plastic coated wire, probably it would be MDF or similar wood product or plastic. You can model it after one you think will work or you can sketch out what you think you want and try to just whip it out. If you have access to someone handy with things like this, tell them what you want and see if they can help you make it happen. There are bracket systems that are extremely lightweight and use simple physics to be very very sturdy, otherwise you need to keep weight limits in mind.
So in all things, keep containers and gadgets versatile, low-end prices, neutral in style. If something doesn't work for the purpose you intended, you can try it somewhere else. Some containers that you might consider purchasing that are cheap and versatile?
Drawer sorters, especially those expandable ones. Freezer containers. Dishpans. Cardboard underbed boxes that you put together. Plastic drawer systems. LAUNDRY BASKETS are huge for me, I am always using them for sorters. Assorted plastic or wicker baskets. Same size cereal keepers for in the kitchen instead of bulky canister systems. Inboxes that stack. Napkin holders for mail. Plastic shoeboxes. Picnic carriers with one long compartment on one side and three on the other, and a handle. PERFECT for office supplies, health and beauty, hair care stuff. I guess what I am saying is...keep your eyes and mind open when you are shopping. Browse various places and look at items apart from their intended use. What can that piece do for YOU?
Last word for you is to practice your system, as you fiddle with things and find homes for stuff, you are GOING to get different ideas and want to play around with the space. If you think three bins will help you sort your laundry, try the system with three cardboard boxes as a prototype for your method. Did it work? Then invest in the pieces to help you. If not, you didn't spend on a big sectional hamper. This is when things like garbage bags, grocery sacks, cardboard boxes, velveeta boxes, tupperware, laundry bags, pillowcases, purses, totebags, etc, can help you figure out what size, how many, for what purpose the container needs to be. Then go buy exactly what you need, when you KNOW you have come up with a good plan. The container is just a container, it only needs to serve its purpose in the meantime and will assist you in looking for the way you want to get to your stuff. If you are experimenting with the size and shape of the container, and want to see if having certain things together (used together, goes together AND like with like) is effective for you, then you can mix and match freebies until you get it right. It is the system NOT the container that will be hard to figure out so spending money before you know is ridiculous. After you know what you want, and how many, then you can buy exactly what you need.
ONE MORE THING. I talked a lot about budget items here. Cheap plastic pieces, existing furniture. As always though, sometimes you can buy a lot of cheap stuff, OR you can buy one really nice piece. If you are trying to outfit a storage system with cubbies that can be displayed, the cost of baskets and shelving to do it MAY add up to more than an unfinished or used armoire. So try to keep total projects on a budget, multiple pieces to keep things contained may cost more than a single piece with the built-in storage you want.
I did that, and it cost me around $90.00 total for a complete closet organization.

Then go buy exactly what you need, when you KNOW you have come up with a good plan. The container is just a container, it only needs to serve its purpose in the meantime and will assist you in looking for the way you want to get to your stuff. If you are experimenting with the size and shape of the container, and want to see if having certain things together (used together, goes together AND like with like) is effective for you, then you can mix and match freebies until you get it right. It is the system NOT the container that will be hard to figure out so spending money before you know is ridiculous. After you know what you want, and how many, then you can buy exactly what you need.
ONE MORE THING. I talked a lot about budget items here. Cheap plastic pieces, existing furniture. As always though, sometimes you can buy a lot of cheap stuff, OR you can buy one really nice piece. If you are trying to outfit a storage system with cubbies that can be displayed, the cost of baskets and shelving to do it MAY add up to more than an unfinished or used armoire. So try to keep total projects on a budget, multiple pieces to keep things contained may cost more than a single piece with the built-in storage you want.
