  • why doesnt my hair go wavy anymore? READ DESCRIPTION!?

    I have naturally straight hair so I wash it before I go to bed, then plait it wet, so when I wake up the next morning and undo the plaits, my hair has nice waves. But in the last couple days when I undo the plaits in the morning, it isn't wavy anymore! Its practically straight, its looks like my bed head if Ive gone to bed with straight hair. I'm doing exactly the same as I usually do, I used the same shampoo and conditioner as I usually do when I make it wavy so when that morning when it didn't work that night I tried a different one and it didn't make any difference. I did the plaits tight like I usually do and of course they were wet. I don't understand why its suddently not working anymore when I've been doing it for months and months?! I I have done it nearly every day tbh for the past couple months so is it because I'm doing to much??

  • SIMS 2 GRADE AND SOCIAL WORKER HELP?

    ok so in my family the social worker turned up because the boys grade was F. The social worker was going to take him away and also the toddler even thou I hadn't neglected her or anything! Anyway before the social took themaway I had an Idea. I went back to the neighbourhood without saving and moved the family out and back in again. Obviously everything in the house was gone but the family was the same. The kids grade was the same, D-, nearly an F. So does this mean the social will still come, as there's.no homework anymore as it was lost when I moved, so I'm confused to if the social will still take them??? I don't know what to do!!

    I have no other expansion packs..yet.

    I have put all the graphics options on low and turned shadows and reflections off.

  • Do I have a minor OCD?

    Ok well I do alot of things but here's some of the top of my head.

    1. You know the phrase "touch wood" well I like have to touch wood if I think something bad otherwise I think the bad thing I thought will happen. I do it the most when I'm laying in bed cos that's the time where u tend to think about stuff. And I'm constantly hitting my bedside table as it's made of wood. Also my hand has to be flat on the wood in order for it to "work" sometimes I feel like I have to do 2 hands. When I watched a film and the scene where the dad died I kept my hand on a piece of wood for the rest of the film. 

    2. I have to touch things a certain amount of times. Like there's certain numbers I "like" and "don't like" for example I don't like the number 4 but I like the number 5 so if I touch something four times I will have to touch it again to make it 5. 

    3. This sounds weird but I like wipe my touch of things. Especially if I touch it with my nail. For example if I swipe my nail on the table or door or whatever I have to go back and wipe my touch off otherwise it plays on mind til I do it. My mum does that too.

    4. Even thou I no my phone or purse or whatever is in my bag I like have to check loads of time because for some reason I think they're not in there even thou I no they r. It's so annoying I checked my bag three times when I was on the bus the other day. I have to check because the longer I don't checky bag the more I convince myself they're not on there even thou I'm 100% sure they're in there. 

    5. This is just a thing I do I don't think this is OCD and it sounds so silly but every night I have to tell my cat I love her and kiss on her head and then blow her another kiss otherwise I think something bad will happen to her.

    Also penlids have to b on pens and plugs I'm not using have to b turned off.  

    I do other little things as well but I don't want to make this much longer. My teacher and my mum said these things r just small ocds and She did the same when she was younger

  • I'm obsessed at touching wood! Read descripton! ?

    I'm like obsessed to touching wood. Like my im thinking about nothing like when I'm lying in bed bad thoughts come into my head and I'm constantly touching my bed side table that Is made out of wood. If I think a bad thought I have to find wood to touch. I try not to but it's like a voice in my head is taunting me or the bad thing will happen. The other day for some reason I felt like I had to touch the wood with both my hands flat on the wood. I'm not doing that today thou. But like when I watched the last song And the dad died(just touched wood then) I kept my hand on a piece of wood for the rest of the film.

    I don't think it's OCD like some ppl have said cos surely it's just a silly superstisous thing isn't it not a major thing like OCD?

  • Am I weird? Read description!?

    I'm like addicted to touching wood. When I'm not thinking about anything like when I'm laying in bed bad thoughts come into my head and I'm constantly touching my bedside table as it's made of wood. I try not to but it's like a voice inside my head to taunting me to otherwise something bad will happen. Also when I watched the last song and the dad died (I just touched wood when I wrote that)I clung onto the wood bit on the radio next to me for the rest of the film. Also when I touch something I would have to touch it a certain amount of times, numbers that I "like" for some reason in my head there r some numbers I don't like like most even numbers except 10 14 and 50 and a few others and 3 etc and I hate the number 8 so if I touch something like 4 times I have to touch it again to make it 5 times. Is this just a normal obsession?? SERIOUS ANSWERS PLZ!

  • My goldfish keeps chasing/nipping the new goldfish?

    I've had the first goldfish for a week and I've just put another fish in it's tank. He's only a little but smaller. I don't know the gender of the two fish. But it keeps chasing the new one round the tank and keeps tryin to nip at it and push into it's side. Is this normal? Will both fish be ok?

  • Tank filter is pulling my goldfish up!? Read description?

    I've only got one fish and that's a goldfish but he can't stay at the bottom of the tank because of the filter. I turned the filter off for a minute to see if he could stay at the bottom easier then and he could but as soon as I turned it on again he floated up and had to stuggle to get to the bottom. He can only stay at the bottom for a second or two. I'm worried that it will make him stressed and he will die. What do I do ??
