hmmmm.............????

Hey!

So I've been losing weight lately, and lost like 7 pounds so far :] that's been over the course of the past few weeks. I haven't been tracking inches, but I can tell things are fitting a little bit better....

Anyways, I found a pair of swim trunks that are pretty cheap and I realllly want them... however, I'm a 36/38 [38 when things run small], and they're a 34. They have elastic in the waist band so they've got a little bit of give, but I still don't want them to be ill-fitting :P

I was considering ordering them, but I don't want to get them and then have summer be over by the time that I can get into them comfortably :P So I need opinions, if I continue to lose close to 2 or so pounds per week, do you think that I could get into them by like june or july? Is it worth buying them? I really like them lol.

Thanks so much! :D

hey! so I've had a cold and consequentially my tissue use has lead to my nose looking like rudolph the red nosed reindeer's xP anyways, I've been coating my nose every night in neosporin to get it to heal, and tonight I had to put some on the very top of my lip because my upper lip is chapped now :/ I was laying in bed and all of the sudden I tasted something sweet, and I realized what I was probably tasting was neosporin..so I got up and wiped off the stuff on my lip, but my question is, am I in any sort of danger if I did accidentally injest a little bit of it? that was like 40 minutes ago and I feel fine other than a very slight stomach ache [which I may have caused just from getting upset over this :P]

Bonjour!

J'étudie français à l'école, et bien sûr je ne peux pas demander ma prof ce question :P J'utilise le mot "whore" en anglais presque tout de les jours (pas sérieusement, mais comme un terme d'affection bizarre XD j'appelle tout de mes amis Whores), et si Google a vrai, le mot en francais est "putain"? est-ce que ce correcte? et, est-ce que ce un mot tres mauvais? (comme en anglais, bâtard

est mauvais, c'est impoli, et on peux avoir des ennuis pour dire que a un prof ou une personne comme ça)

alors, est-ce que le mot "putain" just un peut impoli, ou super impoli?

Merci!!!

Hey!

omg I am so frusterated. My family bought a new sony bluray player for Chistmas (this one to be specific: http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Pr... ), and it's suppossed to have all of these features like Netflix, hulu, pandora, etc. but it doesn't have crap. The instructions say to go to Network>Activate Advanced Features> and get this code that you enter online to get my stuff.....but Activate Advanced Features isn't an option...like it's not even there....and there is a system update available which I'm thinking might fix that, but the freaking machine will not perform a system update!!!! And yes, it is connected to my network, because it will surf the web and it told me it's connected and has like a 50% signal stregnth...I tried like 10 times to update my first one, it wouldn't work, so I took it back to bestbuy and they gave me a new one because they couldn't even get it to work with their network...They gave me the new one and I asked them if they could plug it in to make sure it would work and stuff, and it did. I had the guy start the system update because I wanted to make sure that definitely worked, and so he did, and it was working (I didn't have it finish though because it was a large update). So I took the new bluray home, set it up with my network, and surely enough it won't do a system update for me now...I am so irritated right now....

The only difference I can think of is that I saw the guy at bestbuy plug a cord into the bluray that I'm assuming was an internet cord...I've been trying to do mine wirelessly (and for anyone who didn't check out the link above, please don't tell me to go get an adapter because it has all of that built in and I'm already connected to my network.) and it isn't working....so the only thing I can really think of to do is unplug the internet cord from my router and plug it into the bluray to do the update...but I'm scared to do that because the way my luck has been lately, it will probably screw up my internet if I do :P so my question is, can I just like take my internet cord from my router and plug it into my bluray for the update, and then just plug it into my router and everything will be fine or no?

also, this player has USB ports on it and I found firmware on it from the sony website, so would it work if I put that on a flash drive and plugged it into the bluay? I was going to do that but the manual acts like you can only play media on it....

I'm just frusterated and I'm not entirely sure what to do :P If anyone could please help me I would be SOOOO greatful!! [and I'll pick a best answer :D]

Thanks so much!!!!

p.s. if anyone else has any ideas on what I should do, I would very much appreciate them!!!!

hey!

so I was just randomly on etsy, and I found these reasonably priced and unique pocket watches. My best friend loves pocket watches, so I was thinking about getting one for her for her birthday :] however, I know that my family has always been hesitant to order from overseas because it used to be that you couldn't track shipping outside of the us (is that still true?)

and something I always thought about was chemicals. In America, I feel like stuff seems to be more likely to be regulated with like levels of lead and stuff, whereas I know some other countries policies on levels of stuff aren't always as high as ours...on the pocket watch descriptions, some say like lead and nickle free, and others don't...

I was also thinking about buying a silicone phone case from china on ebay because it's like $1.50 with free shipping :P

so my two questions are: 1. can you track shipping from overseas now? and 2. is it physically safe to buy things from places like china?

Thanks!!! :D

p.s. would it be safe for me to pay for these items with a prepaid credit card? Thanks! :D

hey!

so I've been thinking about buying a sewing machine for a while...I don't need a bunch of fancy stuff, just something that's going to work and do the basics for a beginner :] but I don't know exactly what I need in a sewing machine to do that :P

primarily at the moment I want to make things like upcycled wallets from magazine pages (like this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/38308970/cute-and-uniq... )

and I'd prefer for it to be under $50 but I'll go a bit over if need be:]

If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!!

Thanks so much!!! :D

hey!

so I don't have much experience at all with film photography, but I found a good deal on an Holga and I might buy it...but it doesn't come with a flash....then I also found a Lomo flash cheap, but I don't know if it's compatible with the holga camera :P so... is it?

if it helps, the camera is 35mm and the flash says its for 35mm

thanks! :D

hey!

So I'm trying to make a list out of all of the bands/singers that I like whose fans have like a specific name (Like Lady Gaga has her Little Monsters, Owl City has his Hoot Owls, Nicki Minaj Has Her Barbz, The Greatful Dead has Deadheads, etc.) and so far I could only think of those 4 + Kerli's Moonchildren.

I like all types of music, so if you could please tell me all of the types of fans you know of, I would really appreciate it!!! :D Thank you!

Hey!

So I rarely play video games, but im going shopping and there are some good deals on Xboxsx....everyone seems to be obsessed with like MW3 and stuff right now and I guess I feel left out? I was thinking about asking for.one for christmas, burning.not sure that ill use it very much ....plus, im not sure I need another addiction if that were the case :P are they worth the money? Im looking at a 4gb xbox with a game and a $50seat giftcard right now

Btw if I get the 4gbsame one can I hook up external hard drives to it? Thanks!

ok so I know I must seem really out of the loop, but I'm confused O_O

Why are people rioting? I keep seeing stuff about it all over my Tumblr, and I saw something from Leona Lewis' twitter [i think it was her anyways]

...what's going on??

hey!

So I've been thinking abut gauges for a while now...my school won't let me have piercings, so I've got a little more time to think about it :P anyways, I think I'd like to gauge my ears to like the size of a quarter [...does anyone know what exactly that's called?] but I know it looks kind of unprofessional, and I don't want something that I did while I'm young and stupid to affect my career for the rest of my life...so, I was wondering, can your lobes stretch back from that size? and how bad is the scar? and if you need surgery, how expensive is it?

Thanks so much!! :DD

hey!

So I was just curious, to those of you who don't speak English as your native language, what's the most difficult accent to understand? English is my native language, and there are still people that I have issues understanding occasionally :P It's mostly very strong southern accents that get me

I realize that everyone speaks languages at different levels of understanding, but I'm just curious :]

Thanks!

hey!

So my friend and I were wondering this :P I talk in accents..alot..and I use a ghetto accent...alot xP and we speak a little bit of french and were wondering if there are any ghetto like accents/dialects in french?

Thanks so much! :D

hey!

so basically I might sort of have an opportunity to help design some school clothing for a highschool [and by that I mean like the stuff they sell for fundaising, like school-spirited t-shirts and stuff, not uniforms or anything like that :P]. I really want to modernize it - make it like things you see in actual stores, like things you actually see people wearing [taking inspiration from stores like pac-sun, abercrombie,american apparel, urban outfitters, aeropostale, even hot topic, and a multitude of other stores] not just the classic crew neck tee with like a school emblem and stuff on it :P I want to make it more fashionable, not just something you throw on to go exercise in :P in addition to shirts, I also have some ideas for bags, pants, shoes, etc.

I really want your opinions though, and the more students the better, if your school sold more things like you see in your favorite stores instead of the generic crappy t-shirts, would you buy it?

Also, I really want to know what you guys want to see in clothes. What are your favorite styles of clothes, cuts of t-shirts, types of pants, etc. any input you can give would be wonderful! I myself am a teenager, but my style varies with what mood I wake up in, and I don't dress like everyone else, so I want to make sure that if I come up with something I'm not going to be the only one who likes it :P

Thank you guys so much!!! :D

Hey!

So the other day my mom.and I were in the car with the air conditioner on and all of the sudden it made a weird noise and like died. We discovered that if you smack a certain place on the dashboard, you can get it to kick back on for a minute or two :p you can tell by the sound of the thing and the way it works that it's the fan and not the AC...I think it just finally shorted out :P so what needs to be done to fix it and how much might it cost? Thanks!!!!!! :DDDD

hey!

so I really want to pierce my lobes....but my problem is, if I ever by some stroke of luck get some acting job or something, I don't want to get rejected because of something I did when I was 16. so, my question is, if I get my lobes pierced now (an don't gauge them or anything, just use regular earrings) and decide down the rode that I don't want them anymore, is there any way to get rid of the hole that they leave behind? can I like put miderma on them or anything to make the scar go away? I mean, it's a tiny hole, I would imagine it wouldn't be that hard, but i've seen people who left theirs out for years and still had traces of the holes :/ so is there any way to cover up the hole left by an ear piercing to make it look like it was never there?! thanks so much!!!! :D

Hey!

so my aunt is switching jobs [she's a teacher] and she wants me to clear all of her old documents off of her computer. The person who is going to fill her position for next year is a kid fresh out of college, and she said that the best way for him to learn to teach is by experience, and leaving all of her old word documents [tests, worksheets, etc.] and things for him to use isn't going to help him any.

obviously I know how to delete things and clear the recycle bin,delete browsing history, etc. but is there any way i can just delete all of the programs and stuff that she's downloaded with her documents and such without using disks? I have no idea where the disks would be...

also, if it matters, it's a windows XP computer on a network server thing [this sounds really unintelligent but i don't know what else to call it? lol. it's like where instead of just turning on your computer and logging on, you turn it on and type in your user name and password and then you can access your home screen and all of your documents and things...]

so if anyone could help me i would be really greatful!! :D thanks!

Hey!

So I definitely want to do some colors in my hair [probably all over color] but I can't pick what to do :O last summer I did blue with some black lowlights, and when that blue faded I did turquoise. I think I want a different color this year but we'll see x] I was thinking about doing purple with white highlights but like I said, we'll see x]

so I was hoping that someone would be willing to tell me about some of their favorite ways to do interesting colors in hair, and maybe put some links to pictures? :D send me girls hair, guys hair, it dosn't matter lol. Thanks a bunch!!!!

hey!

so I'm dyeing my hair some awesome colors again this summer and I'm having a hard time deciding what to do...I absolutely adore white hair, and I was thinking about doing purple with white highlights...however, I know that getting to white is super hard :P I would definitely be going to my hair lady for this since I don't trust myself with it xP anyways, I have medium brown hair [which hasn't been dye since august, and all that has grown out and been cut off] that I straighten pretty regularly so it's a tad damaged (although I condition it every day so it's not too bad:) do you think that I could achieve white? [like Manic Panic's Virgin Snow white? that's probably the toner I'd be using] I know my hair can be bleached blonde without a problem, I had it bleached last year when I did blue and it was fine :]

Thanks a bunch!

Hey!

so I love french and french stuff and I really want to buy some clothes from a french store [I don't care if shipping is going to be ridiculous] but I don't really know of that many brands D:

and by afforable, I just mean things that arent Chanel, Louis Vuitton, etc. lol.

things like Aigle and Lacoste and things like that :D [btw Aigle dosn't ship to america :/ I've already asked them D:]

my style varies alot, so any kinds of stores are appreciated :]

thanks so much!!! :D
