Have you tried the clinical strength deoderant by Secret or Dove? nerd Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:20:57 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/deotarant 464635 Re: How to build a driveway arch entrance? Just reading your entry, this is what popped into my head... Natural stone pillars, attached with a black iron arch, and maybe an iron gate too. I found a picture that is similar to what was in my head. Very classy. nerd Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:32:24 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_to_build_a_driveway_arch_entrance 462606 Re: Is Yellow Ugly?? I think even mustard yellow is pretty in the right surroundings. I think the only time a color is especially "ugly" is when it is associated with something else we think is gross. For example, yellow may be gross to some people because they associate it with the smell of pee. I painted the inside of my apartment yellow, and I love it. I think I'm in a better mood more often. nerd Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:27:12 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/is_yellow_ugly 462598 Re: Which phones do you recommend? I've heard the enV2 is crap.

It takes me away from reality long enough to relax and distracts me from my never ending to do list. It helps me wind down to go to sleep. The only shows I watch religiously are House, Big Love, and Design Star. They are my new favorite drug. nerd Sat, 02 Aug 2008 22:03:50 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/television_addicts 461941 Re: When does school start? aug 25th http://www.dallasisd.org/about/calendars.htm nerd Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:32:40 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/when_does_school_start 459042 Re: Unemployed and cannot afford medication The generic brand is the EXACT same medication as the name brand. Ask the pharmacist. My husband has acid reflux, and his gastroenterologist suggested taking the over the counter off brand. It works great for him. If you find a difference between the two, it's in your head. nerd Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:23:19 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/unemployed_and_cannot_afford_medication 459032 Re: What would you do if you discovered you had a sister? Contact your half sister's mom. Let her know how you feel and that you want to meet her, but not at the risk of sending her life into upheaval. That seems, to me, the safest way to go about it. nerd Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:20:51 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_would_you_do_if_you_discovered 459030 Re: Blue hair Try dying Manic Panic over your black hair. Since you can't really dye over black, you may be SOL, but that is probably your only chance of getting the desired effect. nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:12:08 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/blue_hair_163536 457459 Re: Would some of you think Obama's religion is a cult? I think all religion is cultist, yours and mine.

I forsee a hard life full of rationalizing addictive, destructive behavior. This "ignorant fool" doesn't need to tell you to screw yourself, b/c you are already doing it. Muahahahaha. Keep on doing drugs kiddo. Maybe some day, I'll give you a quarter when I see you holding a sign on the street corner. :) nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:08:48 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/can_my_dad_force_me_to_take_a_drug 457451 Re: Does cross continet texting cost money Call your cell service provider. nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:02:46 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/another_question_does_cross_continet 457446 Re: Son is grinding his teeth during sleep It was a phase for my kiddo. Since a 13 month old can't tell you what is going on, (if I were you, I would...) just wait it out. If he continues to do it when he is two, take him to a dentist and see if you can get a guard for small mouths. nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:00:03 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/grinding_his_teeth 457443 Re: What do you think of people who talk ghetto? It makes me think they are uneducated, or egomaniacs that want to look cool in front of their friends... Both scenarios are unattractive to me. nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:51:47 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_do_you_think_of_people_who_talk 457424 Re: Anal Pains? If you have already been to the doctor, there isn't much more anyone could tell you. Most of us just have figurative pains in the butt. Maybe you could get a second opinion from a different doctor? nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:47:55 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/anal_pains 457413 Re: How to show all the girls hes mine? Show off your sexiest muscle... your brain. Just have fun with him. Make Tshirts (maybe it could say something like "back off girls, he's mine!") or jewelry together, get friends together for a movie or tag in the park. Try not to forget that both of you are kids, and there aren't any expectations on you to be more than that. When you do get curious about sex, please educate yourselves about STD's and forms of birth control. nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:45:38 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_to_show_all_the_girls_hes_mine 457070 Re: Should we be teaching abstinance or safe sex? Anyone going to stand up for abstinance? I was really shocked at the way the term "slut" was thrown around. Since everyone knows that kids are going to have sex, shouldn't we start encouraging our teens to be educated instead of cutting them down all the time for the decisions they make? Anybody ever heard of a self fulfilling prophecy? nerd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:36:06 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/sex_ed_question 457061 Re: How busy does losing your virginity hurt? How do you expect this question to be answered? Between a 1 and 10, 10 being 3rd degree burns all over your body while going through chemo and 1 being a shaving nick... it's somewhere in there. Depends on the person. nerd Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:34:35 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/help_252803 455682 Re: How to set up a photo with out it looking planned?

Be smart, be safe, and do your research. When people are critical of others, it is because of something they don't like about themselves. Slut is a term they call people that are sexually confident. It is supposed to be negative, but if you remember that the problem lies inside the judgemental person, you can take it as a compliment. nerd Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:45:50 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_m_not_a_virgin_anymore 453029 Re: I'm not a virgin anymore Check out the song "Not A Virgin" by Poe.

You will get through this, and so will he. Have you tried giving him some Mylecon for gas? (I'm sure you've tried everything :) ) I know it must be hard. Colethky gave some great advice, but in addition, if you need to vent, feel free to funmail me. nerd Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:10:08 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_think_my_baby_has_colic 452950 Re: Im 15 And My Daughter Jayden Is 5 Months Old ! I know when I had a baby, my circle of friends changed too. I can't imagine being a mother at fifteen. Looking back, I can remember being so awkward about friendships and how I valued them. Try to understand that you friends just don't understand what life is like with a child. They probably tried, but your life has changed so much. It is beyond their realm of understanding. Try to find some young moms in your area to start hanging out with and bounce parenting ideas off of. It is actually really cool to bond with other women just by talking about diaper brands and favorite toys and whatnot. Best wishes. nerd Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:06:16 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/im_15_and_my_daughter_jayden_is_5 452942
