nero's Advice
I'd start with your ear and then experiment in a program like Photoshop or MS Paint and draw on different piercings to see how they look. You can also buy clip on jewelery and take that approach.
Hot lines can be very helpful depending on the person calling. People will listen to you if you're willing to be open and talk to them. Depending on what kind of things you want to talk about, there are a multitude of numbers you can call all over ...
You should probably be sitting at a desk if you have one. Sitting in a chair will encourage you to sit straighter and offer back support. You can also buy stands to place laptops on that raises them off the desk so you feel as though you're looking at ...
2x+2 = x x + 2 = 0 x = -2 2(-2) + 2 = -2
My girlfriend has the same thing. However, she uses different colors according to what we do. If we're going out at night, she lightly uses black mascara with a brown eyeliner, and lightly colors her eyebrows. But during the day she just uses neutral c...
It really depends on how well you take care of a new piercing that dictates how easily it heals. Of course, there are just some places on the body that have extremely long healing periods. Monroe piercing: 8–10 weeks Bridge (of your nose): 8–10 we...
Saying not to hit a girl because she's a girl is hypocritical. It's technically promoting sexism in society, so if total equality is what people want they have to let go of these gender-specific social taboos. THAT BEING SAID... The whole situation...
In this situation it would probably be best to tell the family. If not because going silent about sexual abuse is only an act of condoning it, but because the abuser in this case has a large role in the family (grandfather) who would probably spend a l...
It depends on the state you live in. Some states have specific requirements for you to get tax free items. For instance, you don't have to pay tax in some states on clothing as long as each item is under $100. While in other states, the no-tax deal may...
I didn't know what I was going to do as a career (officially) until I was in my last year of high school, but I had a general direction from looking at what hobbies and talents I had. I'd been involved with art from the time I started school and it was...
It's muscle. You may want to try fixing your diet and exercises you do in your workout plan. Generally, if you're lifting a lot of weights (especially free weights) you'll gain more muscle mass. Look into running, swimming, dancing, etc.
I assume you're already lifting weights. A good way to add more mass through weightlifting is by changing what you lift. Free weights are really the best, so instead of using a Bowflex type machine or bench-press, go for dumbbells. The greater range in...
How long have you had it? It sounds like you have a dying router, especially if it WAS amazing and is now giving you problems. That could also be why no problems come up when you're troubleshooting it and looking at the setup. Do you have an encryp...
Depends on the state and tattoo parlor. I got mine done in a shop in Connecticut when I was 15 with parental consent. To get one without a parent or guardian, you have to be 18. The price of tattoos varies by the complexity, size, and colors you wa...
That's your choice to make. But generally, from my experience with people, it's best to ignore them. She probably expects you to indulge her with returning some sort of drama, so it might be more effective to not take any action against her. Someti...
Limewire isn't really legal. It's based on p2p sharing, which is illegal (if it's copyrighted material, that is). You can go to Purevolume and Newgrounds. You can find a good amount of music free for download offered directly by the artists themsel...
If you go on your profile you can click on the 'edit my profile' link. If you go to 'friend management' you can choose how you're notified and how you accept friend requests. Checking the 'notify me by funmail' will stop the emails and change them ...
It's probably best that you don't perpetuate the drama and take the high road. She's mad you said you would come to a party and didn't and then didn't tell her. As far as I can tell, there's no reason to say anything bad about her even though she's...
There are a couple of sites and even software available through the internet that allow you to splice images of celebrities (and even yourself with a celebrity) to generate an image of the baby. The best one I've found is morphthing.com.
Are you talking about websites visited from a mobile phone or a computer? If it's from a computer, parents can access the recent activity and see specific web pages that have been visited. I'm not sure if mobile web sites can be viewed, but I d...
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind sounds like that, as far as emotions go. Jim Carrie plays a character who tries to erase memories of his relationship. There's also Equilibrium, with Christian Bale. The plot: "In a futuristic world, a strict r...
A blood test will confirm any suspicion. However, treatment is limited based on what causes it. This can range from blood loss to changes in diets, but ultimately you should seek the opinion of a doctor. If it's caused by diet, eating green leafy v...
A couple things can throw your schedule off balance. A lot of people like to eat late night snacks. However, this generally tends to keep people awake especially if the food is spicy, high in caffeine, or full of carbs. You should avoid eating anyt...
I don't think this site has a Twitter account you can follow.
Most phone carriers have a website that also serves as a portal for handling things on their account. You can usually access your picture messaging there as well.
It's a scam. You can see a full list of puppy scams (including this one) here: http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/pet_scams_KellyKesten.php Apparently you'll have to pay $200 unexpectedly. Generally, it's not best to take a free puppy unless ...
A torrent (sometimes called BitTorrent protocol) is a meta-data file used for peer-to-peer filesharing. You can find them through BitTorrent servers. Be careful about downloading material that's copyrighted as most ISPs monitor data being uploaded.
You have to download torrent files and open them in Utorrent to start the downloading process. In order to get those files, you'll have to find a hosting site where people upload content. However, keep in mind that downloading copyrighted material ...
It looks like the Seethru case is only made for the new 13" Macbooks with the aluminum unibody (the newest ones released). All the models I'm seeing are silver. They have some for the older 15" Macbook Pro and then go into the Macbook Air, so I don...
A tattoo is no different than in open wound. In fact, it behaves almost like a scrape. When it starts to heal it becomes itchy and the dead layer of skin falls off or begins to peel, and some of the excess color goes with it. It's best that you don...
It's in the L&R section. I just deleted the duplicate without an answer though.
Some people care, others don't. Probably the majority don't. I do. I did a lot of traveling in college and with the church I used to go to so I've seen first hand some of the devastation. Seeing it made me more aware, and therefore I'm always more ...
If you go onto a search engine (I tried Yahoo) and type in "wrist piercing" you get a couple pictures. You can also try bmezine.com and look up flesh plating or surface weaving, since they're considered surface piercings.
Because homosexuality and religion were already in play.
If you're trying to display the actual codes, like on a "How To" type of site, you can try putting * or spaces in between parts of the code to stop it from activating.
No one chooses to be hated, maimed, teased, or murdered solely for the fact that they're part of the LGBT community. That's like saying African Americans chose to have a different skin color and become slaves.
I have a couple bands right now. My newest project is a two-man band and we're an experimental electronic group. Our main influences are Crystal Castles and M83, but we've started sampling deeper more brutal sounds and textures as those found in sp...
Albumwash is a site where people post links to download full-length albums from artists. You have to create a user account in order to get access to these download links, and then some of them are password protected. The "anti-robot" thing you keep...
Not sure what you're into but if you're looking for songs to play and you have some favorite bands, you can almost always find the music (most of them are tabs) on www.ultimate-guitar.com Some of the tabs have the lyrics with them as well.
You should try a band called Metric. The lead singer is the girl from Broken Social Scene and it has an indie-electronica feel to it. They have a couple albums out and one EP I think. You can also try out Sia, The Bird and The Bee, Kat Flint, Blond...
I don't think it's the instrument having sex appeal so much as it's the ability to know how to play an instrument. People find different instruments to be appealing though, so I'm willing to bet someone out there will be impressed by the skill. How...
If the cops have already contacted you and your probation officer knows where you are there is no way she can get you put away without having some evidence or claim that you've broken a law. The same goes for the people you're staying with.
You should be able to play sports. Most people who get a piercing (either one that dangles a lot or is really fresh) put a small band-aid over it to keep it safe from infection or being ripped out. Some piercing parlors actually have it in the directio...
Something cool and comfortable; T-shirts are always ideal. Too many times have I gone to shows and seen other tops being pulled down (or even off).
Yep.
No, but I've thought about painting it yellow to trick the sun.
You can size down gradually, just like when you gauged up. Use smaller sizes and allow your lobes to heal completely before going to the next step; this takes about 2 months. You can also just remove your plugs and allow your ears to close on your ...
I think the concept of the burqa isn't to be sexist so much as it's intended to protect, as is stated in Qur'an: ""O Prophet, Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their outer garments about themselves. That is bette...
Your lawyer is saying that whoever you're suing would pay double whatever you're asking for in addition to court costs and anything additional the court deems appropriate.
NEVER use a piercing gun for anything other than ear lobe piercings. That is all it is designed to pierce. If you're going to a decent shop they won't even give you the option. It's basically the same process as any other non-ear lobe piercing; they...
