  • Can you use Prepaid Mastercard for Amazon.co.uk?

    I'm not sure if it works or not. Originally, I was thinking of buying ebooks Amazon.com but they only accept American Prepaid Mastercards and I'm from Australia. It says on Amazon.co.uk:

    "Next, let us know how you would like to pay for your order. We accept Visa, Delta, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Eurocard, American Express, UK Maestro and Solo and Amazon.co.uk gift certificates as payment. All orders must be prepaid. If you're paying with a credit card, enter the number without spaces or dashes."

    So, I'm not sure if that means they accept Prepaid Mastercard... Can anyone help, please? If you're not sure what card I'm talking about, it's here:

    https://www.everydaymoney.com.au/edm/wps/portal/mo...

    On the website above, it doesn't even specify where you can buy. It only says you can "virtually" buy anything online.

    Thank you for answering. (:

  • I need help talking to my mum about something personal?

    I posted this question in a different section but didn't get many helpful responses. Hopefully you guys can help.

    For two weeks I have been freaking about a sudden disgusting thought I had. I feel like a horrible person for thinking it and since then I've had three crying fits where I just cry myself to sleep at about six o'clock and pray that I don't wake up in the middle of the night so I can dread more over it.

    Yesterday it was so bad that my hands were shaking, my head was pounding from the headache I had over crying my eyes out. I told my sister I was sick and anxious, but I told my mum the truth and that I was upset because of a silly thought.

    Now she really wants to know what it is but I'm scared she will be disgusted in me and hate me. See, I wondered how big my brother's penis was. I was so disgusted and I have been ever since. More so because he is not a little boy, but a 20 year old man. Before this, I have always been worried about going to hell but I'm pretty sure I'm going now.

    See, I have these random sexual thoughts because I'm a teenager (I'm a nearly 15 year old girl) but never towards a relative. I always wonder how big a guy's penis is and I wonder how if you can ever tell depending height or something. But don't get me wrong, when I wondered how big my brother's penis was, I didn't think of it in a sexual way. Just in a, "oh, I wonder what the weather is going to be like today" kind of way.

    I know I should tell my mum about this and I will some day but I don't know how to break it to her.

    I've been searching about anxiety disorders and I think I have a type of OCD with obsessive thoughts that I don't want to have. Also, a few months ago I had an anxiety attack because I got my first boyfriend lol. I was so freaked out and scared that I dumped him. Now, I think it's funny but at the time I was really freaked out. Obviously I am very shy too so I think I have social anxiety as well. I'm not very out-going and I don't do or say certain things but I'm scared of getting rejected (one of the reasons why I don't want to start dating until I'm 18). Plus, I don't go out a lot because I worried that my friends will reject me somehow or think I'm weird.

    Well, anyway. I just wanted to give you some background information. How should I tell my mother about this? Keep in mind that we are both Christians but we aren't overally religious, just normal people that swear, go to church every other weekend and such...

    Thank you so much for your help. I'm sorry that it's a long question but I'd be glad if you could help me thoroughly.

    P.S Dammit, I'm getting all shaky and I think I'm going to have another panic attack. I really want to tell my mum about this but because of your responses I'm not sure if I should. I'm a person that keeps her feelings bottled up until the last moment and then I completely freak out. If I start seeing a doctor about this, should I tell them about this incident? Is it okay to tell my mum about this? She keeps guessing what the problem might be but it's nothing close. I tell her that I'm scared I'm going to hell about this and it makes her more worried. The longer I delay telling her, the more anxious it makes me get. I need to tell someone about this in real life but I don't know who. And you know, anyone who has a mother, you know the feeling of their reassuring words and gestures and it makes you feel good and loved. Should I tell her about this?

  • I'm so confused and scared - I'm going crazy?

    Geez, I'm so confused and I'm freaking out..

    See.. well, I can't tell the difference if I'm horny or I need to pee. It just seems to have the same pressure. Obviously when I'm masturbating I know that I don't need to pee but when I'm somtimes thinking random stuff and my mind wanders to sex.. .then I don't know.

    I'm a girl and nearly fiften, so confused. I had a weird dream a few months ago and I think I'm crazy for having it. See, in the dream, I was on my bed and my sister was in the another bed next to mine. Our cat was licking her downstairs. It was disgusting. Am I weird for having this dream? I was horrified and I still am. I haven't had any dreams like that anymore though. I feel so bad though. I'm freaking out.

    I've been trying to stop watching porn and masturbating (I'm scared I'll get to hell if I don't, but that's another story) but I've only lasted a week. I masturbated and watched porn today. Then when I saw my brother (he's 21), I wondered how big his penis was. Dunno, was just curious. Then I felt horrible because I was getting horny and then my mind travelled to sex!

    Then, I convinced myself I'm not getting horny over him I'm just thinking of sex. Then I admitted that he is an attractive young man but I don't think of him romantically. Then I realised I had to pee! I wasn't getting horny. So now I feel terrible because I admit that he is handsome. Is that bad? I feel so horrible. Please help me. I'm soooo confused.

    I need to stop thinking about sex but it is on my mind 24/7! I swear, every day I think about sex and I can't seem to stop.

    So, am I bad for thinking these things - will I go to hell?

    Should I stop watching porn and masturbating?

    Please, thank you. Help please. :(

  • I'm very self-conscious about my womanly parts?

    Well... Don't read this question if you don't want all the details. Only warning you.

    I'm a fourteen year old girl and I'm really self-conscious. See, this guy who fancied me always playfully teases me about my height (I'm 5ft) and he says the only reason he teases me is because he likes short girls. Now, it's not like I'm going to do anything with him (or any other guy for that matter) at this age, but I'm worried that guys will think that I'm really neat and tidy down there because I'm short (they are assuming I'm petite - no way!). Plus, in science class, the teacher had a doll of a woman and she only had a slit. Then one of my girl friend's makes a joke how the doll hadn't reached puberty and none of the guys got it. Are men always clueless about this? Will they freak out about my stuff down there? :(

    I'm fairly saggy (eh, I hate that word!) and wrinkly down there and it's horrible - my inner lips protrude quite a bit. I hate it so badly but I don't think I'm going to have surgery. I'm just scared that a guy will take one look and run away screaming, lol. Also, some of my veins stand out a fair bit and some of them are on my breasts which I'm fretting about. Nevermind the fact that I have the hugest areolas on the earth. >_> Do guys mind large areolas (or large labia for that matter)?

    Soo, any answers to ease my thoughts? It's odd, I'm always self-conscious about my body but at random/sudden times I just freak out and worry endlessly.

    Thank you.

    P.S Before I forget, I have these kinda bump things on my vagina area. It's hard to explain... It's more noticeable when I stretch my skin out. Don't worry, it's not a disease or anything, it's only the texture of my skin (I have some very vague dot kinda things under my eyes too) but I was wondering if there was anything to smoothen my skin out more? Any safe cream to put on my downstairs?

    Thanks again.

  • I'm scared I'm going to hell because...?

    I'm 14 and a girl. I feel like I'm going to be sick because I'm scared I'm going to hell.

    Let me just start by saying that my mum is a Christian and my sister is too. My dad and brother aren't very religious and I have doubts about believing God, but I'm pretty sure he is real. Anyway, I just prayed to him for forgiveness because I'm so scared.

    I watch porn frequently (nothing weird) and masturbate and read erotic stories. I'm scared that I'm going to go to hell for that. But also, I use to read erotic stories with rape and other dirty stuff. And I'd feel horrible about it afterwards. I'm scared He won't forgive me.

    I can't say I'm going to stop watching porn (but I will watch it less often) or reading erotic books (without anything dirty though). I know it's only a stage though because I'm a teenager. I will stop when I'm older. I prayed to God that I'm sorry for these things and I told Him I'm not sure if I'm going until marriage. Will He be mad about this?

    Geez, it's stupid. I'm just a normal girl and I'm not heaps religious or anything but I get so scared sometimes because when I'm a church they've been stories about how God punished people. I know that He is loving and forgiving but I can't stop thinking that he is going to punish me to hell. I often have dreams that I'm going to hell.

    Can anyone help calm my nerves? Is this normal?

  • How long does it usually take for Amazon to ship to Australia?

    I bought three items from Amazon on Oct 16. One was a different seller (Deal City) and arrived a few days ago even though it was estimated to take the longest at about 30 - 40 days. I just checked my two other items that haven' t been shipped (a book and dvd) and it says they are estimated to arrive on Dec 2 - meaning I'm going to have to wait another month. It's only been 2 weeks. So, are the estimates correct; does it usually take this long and how do I contact them via email? Thanks.

  • I'm confused about my sexuality?

    Well, I'm a girl and I'm a little confused as to why I get turned when watching porn, when a girl moans. I think it's really hot and sometimes I fantasize about doing some stuff to girls but I would never. I think guys are hot and I would never be a lesbian, I'm just confused... Do any of you girls get turned on when you hear a girl moan, having sex? It's just because guys hardly make any noise. >_> I've never had a crush on a girl before. I'm confused now though because my best friend told me a few week ago that she was bi-curious, then today she told me she likes me - in that type of way! It's freaking me out a little... especially since we're best friends.

    So.. I don't know what this question is - basically, can you help clear my mind and tell me why I'm thinking this? Is it normal to sometimes fantasize about the same sex? Thanks.

  • Have you ever read a great book, then found out the author died?

    Well, right now I'm in the middle of reading Jennifer Rardin's first book of her series Jaz Parks. It's really good so far, so I decided to look on her Facebook page to see how many books there are. I realised she died last year (after finishing her series) and her last post was only a few days prior to her death.

    Even worse, as I delved in further to find Information, I found out that she had committed suicide from depression. It's weird but I feel deeply sad for her and a little weird to be reading a novel from an author that committed suicide. You never would've thought that she would take her own life because her writing is so fun and quirky.

    So, have you ever read a great book, then found out the author died?

  • I feel like crap and an utter mess?

    Yesterday, I woke up to my dad swearing and chucking furniture around. He really frightens me. Long story short, I went to my friend's (Jane) house after school because I didn't want to be at home. My other friend (Sarah) was there too. Jane was a bit negative where I was there and Sarah I got in a few arguments with Jane. It makes me feel really depressed because Sarah is the most out of my friends that really gets me and she is moving five hours away. I feel like I'm losing all my friends.

    I'd sleep over my friends house. I was already feeling in a crap mood then when my mum picked me up my sister came out of the car. She was wearing nice new sandels and a complete new outfit. It made me look like a pile of crap with my greasy hair and old clothes. I know I'm over-reacting, but I had been looking forward to going to the shops but then my mum and sister went without me. I didn't think they were going today so I feel very left out.

    I feel lonely but I don't want to talk to anyone so it's like I'm putting to myself. My brother is too busy playing a game on the computer to talk to me, I'm mad at my dad for acting like an idiot the other day, and my mum and sister left me out so I'm upset about them too.

    What should I do about my family? I feel like crap and I don't know how to get better. Thanks.

    p.s

    My mum just came into my room and asked, Did something happen at your friend's house?

    I told her no and then she started complaining about how I didn't miss her. I mean, I was gone for one night! I told her before that I'd missed her but it gets kinda old when she keeps asking me if I missed her.

    I want to tell her that I'm upset because I feel like I'm losing all my friends, and the only ones I have left after too self-centred to care about other people's feelings. I was already feeling crap but going shopping without me was just the icing on the cake. It's a stupid reason to be upset, but I feel sad that my mum and sister were having fun without me while I was having a depressing sleep over.

  • My writing is plain and I keep repeating words?

    I read a lot of books and I know my writing has improved but it's not the best it can be. I'm writing a novel at the moment and the description is plain and I keep repeating words, such as: but, though, however, because, before, after.

    I use the word 'but' and 'before' so much that's it' really annoying. To replace 'but' I've started using however, although, though but not I'm using too many of THOSE words so I have to change my sentence structure. How would I change it?

    Also, I use the word 'before' a lot. Example: I did this before I went there. How do I change that?

    Last thing, I keep writing the character's walked here, they went there. How can I tell the reader's that they are going somewhere without stopping the paragraph and making a new one saying 'they arrived at the place...'?

    Please help! Thanks.

    BQ: Any novels that can help improve my writing? Anything action with some romance in it. I heard Inkheart is a good book - is it worth reading?

    Thank you again.

  • How to deal with a clingy ex-boyfriend?

    I've been friends with this guy for about a year now. He's my friend, also my ex-boyfriend (and my first boyfriend). We dated for three days, silly I know, but I'm only fourteen. We didn't kiss or anything only held hands so I'm not sure if he really was my first boyfriend (I don't want him to be my actual first boyfriend because it was sooo lame and very unspecial).

    Anyway, I broke up with him because it was so awkward and I couldn't act like my normal self. Now he's always hanging around me (more than before) and after every class he asks me how it was. First period, he talks to me. Second period, talks to me. Recess, talks to me. Third period, talks to me, ect, ect. It's so awkward and I hate it. He doesn't let me go five seconds without talking to me or hanging out with me. I feel so mean for thinking it but I don't want to be his friend any more because we basically have nothing in common and he's very shy (but so am I which makes conversation even more awkward).

    I'm hanging out with my girl friends and he comes and hangs out with us. Can't he get the message and go away? He also comes up from behind me and is always sneaking up to me (not on purpose though which is even more creepy). Gosh, I just hate it. I want to spend a week without him or something, without him bothering me every bloody second! The thing is, I can't say this to his face because I'm sooooo terribly shy and I don't want to be mean. What should I do? I just wish he'd like some other girl. I've even thought about telling this girl (she obviously likes him and flirts with him) and convincing her to go out with him. That way he won't be able to hang out with me because he has a girlfriend. Geez, I'm awful but how do I fix this situation? Thank you!
