Fear

I know there are apartments at the jersey shore boardwalks. They are on top of the stores, restaurants, etc. How expensive is the rent? How do i find out about living there? Any online search of renting apartments at the jersey shore only yields results for vacation rentals. If somebody can find a way for me look into actually renting a place to live on the boardwalk, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, i've already tried all the real estate websites i could find. Any suggestions?

I feel like it just couldn't be. Had sex but the condom broke, however i was on my period. That very night, perhaps 7 hours later, i took Levonorgestrel just to be safe (it's another form of Plan B) and i followed the instructions and took the second pill exactly 12 hours later from the first one. My period stopped the next day, and i've heard that if you have sex on your period it will do that. I think it has been about a week, maybe a week and a half. Now i feel crampy as if i had slight menstrual cramps which i don't think i should. Also, i have seen slight spotting or unusual discharge in my underwear starting maybe 2 days ago. I am going to the gynecologist tomorrow because i suspect either uti or yeast infection, but i cannot shake this feeling that i have.. But it's impossible, isn't it?

What to know about buying first drum set? What do i need for a complete drum set? Which brands are the best?

I want to try eating better. But i do NOT mean carrot sticks, nuts, etc. I mean combinations of things like that whole ants on a log deal. I kinda have a big appetite but i still want to eat healthy. Any healthy snack recipes?

I don't smoke, i don't plan on starting to, and i have nothing against people who do. Im just curious, i really like the smell of it and i don't know why. It's like how some people like the smell of gasoline at gas stations. I guess it's just one of those weird preferences. Can anyone explain this?

These days i feel like kids are getting so dumb, and i still am pretty young myself. I don't think that i am amazing at spelling, i think I'm able to spell everything i should be able to spell for my age, 18. But by comparison to many of my peers, you'd think i was a champion. But nothing pisses me off more than when people my age or even older can't spell the simplest of words! It drives me crazy! Even on here, i read through other people's answers and it's just one mistake after another. This is ridiculous. I am the youngest of all my friends, (not that age should have anything to do with it anymore because we are all legally adults) but the other day my friends asked me how to spell meadow. MEADOW. Between the four of them, they could not figure it out. Why, WHY can't anybody spell anything properly anymore?! There their they're, here hear, where wear wares.. come on... we learned the differences between those in third grade, maybe sooner if I'm not remembering correctly. What happened to people?

I have always been rather boyish looking, which i'm okay with. I hate wearing makeup however, but i do at least want to have nice eyelashes. I know that using mascara every day will make my eyelashes worse, so please, NO mascara suggestions. But i've heard of eyelash extensions. Are they the same as the ones you buy at the store that you stick on and take off at the end of the day? Can i get extenstions that will stay in a long time, like when sleeping and showering and swimming, etc? Where can i get eyelash extensions done, are they expensive, do they last long? What kinds last the longest or work the best? Do i have to be gentle when washing my face, will they fall out easily?

So my parents fight alot. ALOT. They are not separated or divorced or anything of the sort, and i hate when people tell me how lucky I am that they are still together. What people don't understand is that people divorce for a reason, and that staying together does not at all mean that everyone is perfectly happy and lovey all the time and it certainly doesn't mean that everything is okay. My parents fight over every tiny little thing you can possibly imagine.

I am not overreacting. I've got a bunch of friends who's parents are divorced that i know get along better than my own. Two of my aunts whom i am very close to, got divorced and my parents fight just as badly as my aunts and uncles did when they were on the verge of separation. (I have talked to my aunts about this and some of my friends and they see it too, as does my boyfriend. All the people i've talked to about it have either been divorced or have divorced parents and they agree it is unusual) My father is never the one to start the fight. Mainly because there is no reason for one. He will always be minding his own business and my mom picks on him for EVERYTHING.

The most ridiculous thing to me is this habit she has of fighting with him when he isn't even around. Yup, that's correct. She will remember something he did that irritated her, and she's at the point where she no longer realizes she is doing this: She will make up an entire hypothetical fight and, without knowing, perform it-for lack of a better word. (For example, "I can't believe he didn't put the cereal box back in the cupboard before.. but if i say anything to him about it he's going to.." and then she'll go on about how he is going to give her problems when she confronts him. But he never has and never does. I think she honestly believes he negatively retaliates when they have these arguments, but they are always one-sided and that side is her.)

Another problem is that she seems to get annoyed just when he is around. Picture just me and my mom alone in a room, and we'll be perfectly fine talking, laughing; then my dad will walk in and her face clouds over, and in an instant she's in a bad mood that is directed at him. Its like shes trying to come up with reasons to be angry with him. I've personally watched her think of something to pick on him for right on the spot, the second he steps into the room. You can see it if you are looking at her, she is TRYING to be angry with him. And anytime he says anything to her, no matter what it is, she will give him this severe, angry, sarcastic response. (example: Dad-"did you still want to take the dog for a walk later?" (They walk the dog together often) Mom-"YEAH LATER, do you SEE me washing dishes right now?" Dad-(calmly)"Okay, i just wanted to know if you still wanted to take her for a walk.." Mom-"Well obviously i can't do it right now, can i?") And so it goes. It's not as if he doesnt help around the house at all, we all do a very fair share of housework.

I've said something to them many many times about their constant fighting and my mom always tells me that "they're just discussing" when they will be screaming so loud you could hear them half a block away. She tells me i need to relax and that i'm overreacting and that she's just expressing her opinion. Well i say it's gotten out of control and my older brother won't listen either, he tells me the same thing. But i know it isn't true because other people see it too.

Can somebody please help me understand why my mother treats my dad like this? I hate to say such things about her but it makes me want to cry when she is always yelling at my dad when he hasn't done anything, and he just sits there and takes it. That's another thing too, he never fights back. He always just tries to calm her down but she won't stop and it really saddens me.. I love my mom but i just don't know what to think about this.

For example, are there any websites where i can ask questions FOR FREE of a professional hair stylist, beautician, cosmetologist, etc? Or how about fitness questions online for a personal trainer or something?

I am NOT annorexic or even very skinny so i am not looking to be told to eat more. I am kinda small, petite or what have you. But i think at the same time i'm slightly big boned. I'm (5'2 and 120 pounds and my ribs are forever visible, i've come to the conclusion i just have a wide ribcage and maybe nothing can be done about it.) How can i fix this, will working out help? I hate looking the way i do. Other girls have nice smooth hands and rounded elbows and knees and shoulders and even if they have small breasts, their ribs don't make them look smaller by comparison and their chests are not hollow. I am a thin, harsh, unsightly mess. I want to like my body but i can't. And on top of it not being very attractive, being so bony in some places can be uncomfortable or even hurt. I have a thin chest, bony shoulders, bony ankles and hands and wrists, sharp elbows and knobby knees, ugh. Please will someone tell me how to fix these?

I guess this is a multi-part question. No, i'm not asking how i can forcibly grow my hair longer in an unnaturally short period of time haha. But i would really love to have long hair and i'm trying to let it grow out. HOW can i keep it healthy in order to actually be able to grow it very long? (It was down to my lower back when i was younger and i stupidly one day decided to cut it all off to my shoulders) My problem is that my hair is thin. Everyone says you need to keep the hair healthy in order to grow it long, and they say not to use heat on your hair (i.e. blow driers, curling irons, etc). But because my hair is so fine, that is the only way it can possibly look good. If i just let it dry on it's own and then do nothing to it like curling it, it has no volume whatsoever and looks really ugly :( Is there an alternative way to get volume in my hair so that i can cease blow drying and curling it every day? I get split ends so often that by the time my hair seems to have made any progress growing, i have to cut it again and i'm right back where i started. So,

1. How can i keep it healthy without weighing it down with all kinds of products

2. How can i have volume without drying or curling

3. Good shampoos and conditioners to use that will keep it nice so that i don't have to trim split ends SO often?

Something that won't dry it out, maybe a natural shampoo or something? I've heard that sulfate is bad for your hair, so maybe a shampoo that doesn't have that?

Moving into my own apartment very soon. Now i am just trying to make a sort of shopping list for what i will need. I don't mean just groceries but things like bed sheets, lamps, household items. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks :)

She came home from work with a horrrrible migraine. I cleaned the entire house and everything in it today right down to the window sills and all the little corners so hopefully that at least gave her some peace of mind. I told her to stay in bed and i brought her an ibuprofin, now she's just laying down, i think probably asleep. What else can i do, when she wakes up, to make her feel better? As far as i know i've never had a migraine before so i don't exactly know what to do for it.

What are the names for different amounts of weed, and what are they generally priced? I always hear my friends talking about dubs and whatnot and i'm just lost.

I know there's all different kinds of cable services and channel packages etc. Well i know that you can also pay to get one channel at a time, like you have to pay for HBO if you wanna be able to watch it. Well me and a friend are moving to an apartment soon and we are cutting costs by not getting cable, we figured we'd just pay the 8$ a month for netflix. But i LOVE love love old movies and the only channel i ever watch on tv is TCM (turner classic movies) is it possible for me to just have that one channel on regular tv? also, does netflix have old movies?

I've always had severe anxiety issues, whether i am in a social situation or not. I have all the symptoms you could possibly imagine. People say they get anxious about some things but they just don't understand how bad it can really be. Apparently, anxiety problems run in my family. I am getting so tired of feeling awful about everything and worrying about everything. It prevents me from having a good time in many situations, causes me to be nervous about silly things for no reason (for example, sometimes when i am going to see my boyfriend of a year, i still feel panicky prior to the visit as if it were the first time meeting him.) Anxiety gets in the way of alot of things that could be good and fun and carefree. I no longer wish to deal with it. I can't. I have smoked marijuana before and i find that it helps a whole lot. Is it possible to be given a medical marijuana card in new jersey for anxiety problems? Just a few puffs can calm me down to what i imagine is how a normal person feels. I don't want this card to get high, that would be like taking steps backwards. Getting high makes me act stupid and so i just start worrying about how dumb i'll be acting if i get all ****** up. So can anyone tell me, is this possible and what steps can i take in order to get the card, do i talk to my doctor or a specific kind of doctor? Does it cost anything? So many questions.Thanks in advance.

I'm white and have always had very pale skin to boot. However, about a year or so ago, my nose began to be very red all the time. It would look bad enough, except the rest of my skin is so white that it looks even worse. I don't know what caused this sudden change, but i hate it. I never wore makeup and still never do, but now i MUST use cover up on my nose every day without fail. Can anyone please tell me how i can fix this?

I can't stand bikinis that tie. Does anybody know of bikini tops that latch or hook in the back, and have regular straps over your shoulders instead of just a tie around my neck and back? The ties really hurt and they always come undone.
