Would switching up my calories boost my metabolism? I was thinking 1,200 then 1,300, then 1,400 up to 1,600 and then back to 1,200? Or should the increments be bigger? I'm stuck at a plateau and someone suggested this to me.

I noticed that the "bad" mutants of Last Stand all had a similar tattoo. I can't seem to find it on the internet. It was like their insignia? Anyone have pictures or a link? Thanks!

I haven't lived with them for about 8 months, and I just got rejected on my tax return because one of them claimed me. I find this utterly ridiculous, since being on my own, I need the money more!! What do I do if it was illegal?

My soon-to-be husband is joining the Air Force, and after all the training and such, I really want to be able to stay at Fairchild. Our families and friends are here, and I don't want to go to Texas or anything? Can we request to live at this base?

I just bought a Garnier Fructis bleaching kit, and I was wondering if it was less harmful if I forgo the developer and add the rest of the powder and such to moisturizing shampoo? Or can I add conditioner to the bleaching solution? I have curly, kinda damaged hair already, but I really need to fix my color at home.

Has anyone followed through with this?

It seems that people have begun to complain more and more about the lost faith in humanity. What do you think is weakening our ties with our morality and our ties with the rest of the world? What can we do to fix it and why do you think it hasn't been fixed yet?

Disregard costs, and explain why you chose that particular thing. An example would be: "I want to build wells in Africa so that people don't have to put themselves in danger just to get water."

This is for a project, so I would greatly appreciate any and all submissions.

I can't seem to find a website where it lists internships at top magazines. I'd love to work somewhere like National Geographic or Time, but I'd like to know where to find internships for gaming magazines or women's magazines. Thanks!

I had a friend pierce my nose for me and I have a few problems. First, the nose stud we had had a little ball on the end, and we couldn't get it in the hole; it was too big. We filed it down so it was straight and it went in, but for some reason, it doesn't feel like it is all the way in. Every time I even slightly flare my nose, it starts working its way out. Any suggestions?

I don't really want to go alone or I get nervous. I was wondering if it was okay to bring my boyfriend to a gynecological or psychological appt.

I'm severely confused about where to go with my current relationship. He has no ambition to find a career or make something of himself, and instead chooses to be coddled by his mother. I love him dearly, he's seen me through some rough times and we've talked about having kids and backpacking the world together, even growing old together. Except he keeps making promises that he never follows up on, and I'm tired of having to teach him how to have a successful relationship. I don't know what to do anymore. I hate the thought us moving on and him being with other women and happy (which is totally selfish but I can't help it) and I feel like he's the only one who loves me. Should I ditch the morning hugs and surprise kisses because I'm afraid he won't live up to my standards?

My boyfriend developed shingles when he was younger. I was wondering if it was possible that he could get it again, or that it could cause something more serious?

Every time my boyfriend and I have sex, it feels like he is ripping into me upon penetration. There is no difference in the pain regardless of how gentle he is. Is this a symptom of something?

I suppose this is more than one question actually.. :)

Ok, so I know that the week you take the inert pills, you're supposed to get your period. I haven't gotten mine yet, and I did take a pregnancy test to make sure I didn't have a little surprise waiting. Is it possible to just skip inert pills and start over with a new week and not get your period?

Also, can you have sex during your week of inert pills?

I subsist on a low-calorie diet, usually around 800-1000 calories (please, I'm not anorexic. In fact, I make sure I get 100% of everything I need every day. ) I was wondering if being on birth control (Ortho Tri-Cyclen Tri-Sprintec is the name on the package) is going to seriously mess my body up. I fear that the sudden change in hormonal levels is going to make me gain weight like crazy. Can anyone tell me if this will happen? Or if anything bad will happen because of my diet?

Thanks!

I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and I want to know how much this drink is going to mess it up. Am I going to gain weight if the only sugars I have are natural?

You know what's really embarrassing? When you go somewhere, and you think that you should probably tip but you don't know if it's the sorta place where you can tip....I'm too meek to ask, so what jobs should you tip for? I know the pizza guy, and the waiter, but that's about it.

I have been trying to eat more protein lately, but less calories. I basically eat about half a can of tuna with a two egg white omelet in the morning, some cucumbers with salsa in the afternoon, and then another egg white omelet at night, sometimes with more tuna or some broccoli and cauliflower. (I get up around noon so I skip a meal) I also add spices like Mrs. Dash, tabasco sauce, and pepper to my foods. At first it seemed like I was losing weight, but now it feels like I'm gaining and I don't know why. Can someone please explain? (P.S. I take a multivitamin)

I'm not good with ounces and such...nor do I have a food scale.
