Alley M

I work two jobs and attend school full time, so I have very little time to plan for meals. :( As a result, I eat fast food A LOT, and by the time I get home I'm so exhausted, I go right to sleep.

My body isn't used to eating this way and I am worried that I'm not getting the vitamins/nutrients/etc that are essential for my body. I was hoping someone could recommend foods or drinks that I could eat that would be able to fill in the gaps in my diet (like V8?). Preferably prepackaged or easy to prepare. Thanks so much :)

My boss is being promoted and is leaving my store. :( I love my boss--she had enough faith in me to give me my first job and is such a delight to work for. I have a great connection with her and am very sad she is leaving and want to make sure that's expressed through my gift. I was wondering what kind of gifts would be appropriate in this situation... Maybe flowers and a nice card? Please, any suggestions will help me!

I'm just tired of my hairstyle being just being long layers and side bangs, lol. Pictures would be extremely helpful. Please no negative personal comments towards me, I have enough of them. I'm really just trying to seek advice. Thanks!!

before i continue giving details i just want to point out: yes, i have gotten a bra fitting at a professional store. that being said.... they are NEVER right. i have a good sized chest and when they give me a fitting, they say the same thing: "hmm, it says you should be about a C but that doesn't seem right" ...a C? i'm at least a D, but I've bought a few DD and think they fit better. but i'll even give them the benefit of the doubt and try a C on, but that isn't working at all.

anyway, my bras seem to fit my chest.. i can go back and forth between a D and a DD and i'm alright. but what does it mean when your bra rides up your back? because it's not comfortable and looks stupid but i can't really figure out what's wrong with it. also, the center of my bra never really lays flat on my chest, and i've heard it's supposed to... does that mean the cup size is still too small? i find it hard to believe that i would be bigger than a DD, but what do i know, really? :(

i also tried googling my problems but there weren't really any solutions that i found... :( any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My sister has had a dry cough for 5 weeks. It's horrible, loud, and is physically painful for her. She has already gone to the doctor (more specifically, Urgent Care) and was told that it was an upper respiratory virus that will last until Spring. The doctor told her to buy any kind of losenge that she liked, eg. root beer, butterscotch.. No prescription, nothing. Obviously, it's not working. She's losing her mind and I feel so bad for her I don't know what to do! I've tried making her go back to Urgent Care but she said she wouldn't be able to handle having someone tell her to sit and wait for another two weeks or so.

ANY advice? PLEASE. I tried talking her into taking Clariton but she said because it doesn't have a cough suppressant, it isn't worth it.

I'm desperately trying to find a fleece MLB Philadelphia Phillies fabric, like this:

http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.j...

unfortunately that's out of stock and the only places that I can find that have it charge at least $12 for shipping...

is there any other pattern you've come across/something tha tsays phillies/something I could use? Or just a place with less shipping costs? Thanks

I found a Phillies-pattern fleece at my local fabrics store and since my boyfriend is a huge fan I was thinking about making a no-sew fleece blanket out of it for him for Christmas.. but I'm wondering if those kind of blankets are considered a girl thing..? He's a great guy so I think he'd use it to make me happy but I'd rather actually get him something he likes instead of getting him something he pretends to like.

Honest answers are best.. if you think they're too girly is there anything else you can see me using this fleece for? I feel like it's too perfect to pass up :/

I'm an older teen but I'm still afraid to have sex, mainly because I've heard so much about how badly it hurts! :( I've gone to the gynocologist a few times and she has always hurt me so much that it's just further dissuaded me..

Any tips you had your first time? Experience? Things you can compare it to? I'm in a relationship and I chicken out every time we try, I feel really bad for my boyfriend but I can't seem to get over my fear :((( Please no mean answers.

There's a picture of a model dressed as a fairy (I'm assuming) at the top of this page:

anyone know where I could find a bigger picture?? I'm seriously considering something similar for halloween. thanks!

There's a song that plays at my work before opening and I DESPERATELY want to find it... The only lyrics I can remember are "little big girl, show me what you're working with" -- which are probably wrong. there are also a lot of spanish lyrics, but since i can't speak spanish, i couldn't remember any. :/

it sounds like pitbull but i can't seem to find it when i search under his name.. one of my other friends thought it was daddy yankee but i can't find it when i search under that, either. please help! so desperate.

Please no sarcastic remarks, I understand that the word "permanent" is in the title so I shouldn't be surprised. Anyway,

I dyed my hair about a month and a half ago and the color is still there. I went darker, apparently too dark to get it out. My hair was a light brown and I went to a sort of medium brown/hint of red but hardly. I've tried washing my hair with hot water and using a clarifying shampoo (it was Suave, though, so not exactly promising), any other tips, or will I have to wait for my hair to grow out?

My hair is healthy and not dry or anything, so I'm kind of shocked it's still in my hair. Any tips would be helpful. Thank you!

I bought a dress from American Eagle a few weeks ago that I never ended up wearing. I have orientation today and was wondering if it was appropriate to wear a dress there, since it's from the store? I don't know their clothing policy yet but it's very cute and FROM the store.... advice?

If not, does anyone know how I could locate one or if there are any in the Philadelphia / New Jersey region?

On the website the only options are "beauty" and "lingerie" ... but I want bathing suits?

I'm writing an essay about labor unions, and I started by writing about the pink slip, which they used to give out so you could collect unemployment.

I was wondering if they still USE the pink slip, or if now-a-days it's just a term? Can anyone help me?

I just joined a gym and started working out for summer. I run/jog/walk about four miles daily. It's more like I run 2 miles in 25 minutes, then steadily raise and decrease the incline for a half hour at about 3.7 MPH for 2 more miles.

Before this week I never really did anything. So, is this enough to see results? I haven't really changed my diet, but I've always leaned toward moderately healthy foods, anyway. I really just want to tone my body. Can I accomplish this?? I definitely am a begginer! ):

On my college request form for my resume, it had the option of "pick up" and "send to the following colleges..." I chose Pick Up because I was unsure of where I was going to apply for certain. Well, now I can't tell if I'm legally allowed to mail in my resume to my new college or if it HAS to be done through my current college. Please help? I don't know what to do! ):

That's me on the left, (duh, haha). My hair is kind of a dirty blonde, not sure you can really get that from the picture. I'm thinking about dying it red but I'm not sure what shade/if it would look natural. Thoughts?

I'm trying to declare a major and was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference. Thanks.

I have hair about two inches short of my waist. I almost always wear my hair down and I'm really, really bored with it. I wear a simple french braid and headbands sometimes, but what I'm really looking for are some other cool tricks!

Also, I've been on seventeen.com and cosmopolitan but there isn't a great variety of different hairstyles. Please help me! ):

This is me:

you don't really get a sense of its length but this is the most recent picture of me. i know it isn't the best picture for my hair, but it's almost to my elbows. ANYWAY... i'm thinking about getting bangs (at the very least), any suggestions on what kind? and i may dye my hair. any suggestions? pictures would be appreciated!
