I'm trying to figure out what to get my boyfriend for Christmas. He plays Magic the Gathering (and yes, I am a good girlfriend and have learned how to play), and I'd like to incorporate it into his gift somehow... I don't know a ton about the game, so I'm struggling to figure out exactly what to get him and I'm wondering if anyone can help me out? I have a price limit of $100.

I have been looking at these options:

1. http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Limited-Prem...

2. http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Jace-Sculpto...

3. http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Cards-Bonus-...

4. http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Rare-Uncommo...

5. http://www.amazon.com/40-Foil-Magic-Gathering-Card...

6. http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Assorted-Rar...

Do any of those look good, or if not, can you please suggest something else? Any help is SO appreciated! Thanks :)

I'm eighteen years old, female, and until about a month or two ago, I've had really good skin without doing anything to it. My whole life, I've never moisturized regularly or used any facial washes or whatnot, and yet I've very rarely had any blemishes or breakouts.

Now all of a sudden, I've been getting small breakouts. Right now, I can count about twelve small blemishes on my face. I use concealer, but I've been using the same product for years now, and the problem is very recent, so I don't think that can be the issue.

I eat a very healthy diet and drink plenty of water.

The only thing that I can think is different, is that near the end of 2011, I started moisturizing my face twice a day. I've tried four different brands of moisturizer, all of which have been oil-free and apparently "suitable for sensitive skin", but is it possible that this is what is causing the problem? Should I stop moisturizing altogether?

Any opinions/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

I'm 17, female, 5'8 and my weight is approximately 120-125 lbs (I don't know exactly because I'm no longer allowed to weigh myself). I am a recovering anorexic, so I'm not looking to lose weight. I'm very active and quite muscular already, but I would like to build more muscle and tone up even more.

Today I ate:

Breakfast - Small bowl oatmeal (it was 1/3 cup uncooked oats) w/ 1 tbsp hemp hearts, 1/2 banana, 1 tsp pure maple syrup.

Snack - 140 calorie protein bar (a natural one... only 9 ingredients and no chemicals. 16 g protein)

Snack - 1/2 pear, 2 sections of an orange.

Dinner - Whole wheat pasta w/ mushrooms, walnuts and roasted vegetables. Mixed green salad.

Snack - Stove-popped popcorn (1/4 cup un-popped) w/ 2 tsp non-hydrogenated margarine.

I also drank 4 cups of herbal tea, 1/2 cup black coffee, and 2 litres of water.

Combined with the exercise I am doing (a blend of cardio and strength training), is this a good kind of food plan to stick to? Is there anything I should change?

I want to get a song lyric (5 words) tattooed on my wrist in cursive hand writing.

I know that it varies depending on the studio, but does anyone have an estimate of how much it would cost (for a good quality one)?

Thank you so much :)

Okay, so, I am sixteen years old, so I can't go to any bars or clubs, etc. I mean, I guess I could, but that's not my scene.

I don't go to high school, I am homeschooling so I can graduate early. So that rules out anything there.

So I'm wondering where I can meet other girls who are definitely like me?

I am 16, 5'8, 120 lbs.

Daily caloric intake: < 500

Exercise: At least 2 hours a day, aiming to burn at least 500 calories a day.

How much weight would I lose a month on this diet?

And please, do not just say, "Your metabolism will crash and you'll actually end up gaining weight" ... I have experienced and gone into recovery from anorexia twice before and both time I lost lots of weight.

Thank you :)

Okay, so, I'm a recovering anorexic, so I'm a little obsessive over calories/metabolism/exercise, etc.

Because of this, I never drink (too many calories and I know how bad it is for metabolisms). However, on new years, I got somewhat drunk and had a LOT more fun than I usually do and was more relaxed and stuff. So I'd like to do it every once in a while. But if I drink (not a ton, but enough to get tipsy) once every one or two months, would it still effect my metabolism?

Thanks ;)

Other than school?

I want to meet more people from outside of school, because although I have lots of friends at school, I find almost all of them annoying and don't enjoy spending time with them.

So what are some good ways to meet new friends? Most people who I meet and like are either 10 years older than me or I just meet them in passing. And I'm not outgoing with people, so that makes it kind of hard.

Any ideas?

Thanks all :)

I want to tell my best friend. I know that she'll be fine with it, but I don't want:

A) her thinking I have feelings for her

B) the conversation to get really awkward and weird

C) her to feel like I've been hiding it from her

What do you think is the best way to tell her? Like what to say, roughly?

And how? Like, could I tell her in a text or does it HAVE to be face-to-face?

Thanks guys :)

I started getting bloated on Wednesday night, and it has just kept increasing and getting worse.

I am recovering from anorexia, so feeling fat like this is terrible for me.

My parents think it must be menstrual-related, although it hasn't been a month since my last period yet. What is going on?

And what can I do to relieve it?

These are my symptoms:

-Extremely tired

-Fast beating, sometimes racing, heart

-Extremely cold (everyone else in the house says it's warm)

-Depressed

-Bloated lower stomach (bloating has been increasing over the past 2 days)

-Discomfort in the lower stomach

-Muscle pain (hurts to walk)

-Thirst (despite drinking lots of water)

I know that everyone will just say "go see a doctor," like usual, and I will, just looking for some opinions beforehand?

Thanks :)

I need to write about it for a French project, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas.

Any insight?

Thanks guys :)

-I am 16, female, 5'8 and 120 lbs.

- I have been recovering from anorexia for 2 months.

-I want to do the cleanse because I constantly feel sick and the doctors don't know why.

-I eat really healthy and exercise a lot every day.

-The cleanse involves eating:

-Nothing with flour

-Nothing with sugar (including natural sugar like honey)

-No dairy products except eggs and butter

-No processed foods or foods with toxins (eg peanuts)

-I will still be exercising during the cleanse.

-The cleanse also has pills that you take to evacuate your system.

Is it going to cause me to lose weight?

Thanks :)

-I am not out to lose weight, although I must admit that the idea is alluring as a recovering anorexic.

-I am 16, female, 5'8 and 120 lbs.

-The cleanse involves eating nothing with flour in it and no sugars, including maple syrup and honey (I have stopped eating all of this already), plus no dairy products other than butter, as well as nothing processed. I don't eat red meat or poultry, so I will mostly be eating fish and eggs for protein.

I know that heart palpitations are normal, and I've been getting them for about 3 years (not often, just once every few months), plus my mom gets them too, so I figure it's genetic?

HOWEVER, since yesterday afternoon, I have been getting them once about every 10 minutes. Really strong too. This morning I also went through five minutes where I had about 5 palpitations.

I'd say it's been about 20 hours that I've been getting them so often.

Is this something to be worried about?

Thanks :)

I don't want to spend a lot on my costume, but could buy a dress or a few accessories.

I'm a sixteen year old girl, so I want to look cute but not slutty.

I was gonna be a Barbie, but am now dying my hair from platinum blonde to red, so that wouldn't really work anymore ha :P

Thanks so much!!

What color should I dye my hair?

It's still currently in that style, but I am growing it out.

Thanks a ton!! :)

So I was thinking about being a Barbie for Halloween, cuz I have a hot pink dress and hot pink shoes and lots of big fancy jewelery, etc.

And I have platinum blond hair.

The only issue is, it's in a cute, short pixie cut. Would I still be able to pull off the Barbie look with my short hair? Or should I be something else?
