I agree too even though I'm incredibly young. Some people do know the correct terms but use the "slang" ones instead. Take "chat speak" as an example. They DO know better but they like using chat speak instead because they must find it cooler or something. I, on the other hand, find it really hard to type everything in chat speak so I just type everything in proper grammar. margaritas_and_money Fri, 03 Aug 2007 21:33:58 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/bad_grammar 78537 Re: Where should I sell my X-box? You could try ebay. I'm sure you'd get more than $30, but I'm not sure about the exact price...And I'm also not sure about which stores that you would be able to sell it to. (like selling it in person instead of online) margaritas_and_money Fri, 03 Aug 2007 21:17:36 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/x_box 78522 Re: Are there any free music download sites? Limewire is an awesome program, but it is illegal and you can get viruses off of it. If you do get it, be sure to have a virus protection program on your computer and check the file size before you download. And please be aware that it is illegal and you can get in trouble for using it. The chances of you getting caught out of millions of people is slim, but it could happen. margaritas_and_money Fri, 03 Aug 2007 08:13:24 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/music_87993 78182 Re: How can my Mom get rid of some wrinkles? Well, if you have a lot of extra money, you could use botox which you inject into your face. There's also a variety of creams and lotions that you can use, but you'd have to research some more since I'm not sure about the types. These websites have some info on wrinkles: http://www.medicinenet.com/wrinkles/article.htm http://www.smartskincare.com/ http://www.graphicaddicts.net/forums/index.php/topic,931.0.html http://www.yestheyrefake.net/wrinkle_improvement.html margaritas_and_money Thu, 02 Aug 2007 18:18:59 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/q_for_my_mum_wrinkels 77853 Re: How to stop my dog from humping her pillow? My sister's dog does the same to a little stuffed dog toy that kind of looks like him. He does it because it shows dominance, so maybe that's why your dog is doing it. And sometimes, the dog will not stop humping objects if it is "fixed", so I would discuss spaying with your vet first before doing it. This is actually natural for all dogs, so it's nothing to be freaked out about. :) margaritas_and_money Thu, 02 Aug 2007 18:07:27 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/female_lab_humping_pillows 77847 Re: How do I comfort my scared puppy? Well, maybe you can do normal, every day activities while in the same room as the dog. For example, if the dog is in the kitchen, you could eat some food and let him/her smell you and get more comfortable with you near it. You could also coax it with some dog treats in a calm, polite voice. I wouldn't pet the dog right after if it's really scared, but just let the dog take the treat out of the palm of your hand. After a while, you should be able to pet him/her. You could also try these websites: http://www.bichonfriseusa.com/articles/socializationshy.htm (can work for every dog breed) http://www.humaneleague.com/Resources/documents/HLLCShyDogs.pdf http://www.raisingspot.com/behavioral_problems/shy_dog.php I hope that these websites help in some way, and sorry if I answered the wrong question. (not sure if the dog was afraid of people or just not comfortable in his new home) margaritas_and_money Thu, 02 Aug 2007 18:03:14 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/puppy 77842 Re: How can I get my Mom to buy me a bra? Even though you're nervous and you probably don't want to do it, you could just calmy walk up to her and simply ask her. She doesn't really have a reason to say no, especially if you name off the reasons for wanting one like having them hurt without one on. She'll understand since she's your mother and she went through the same exact thing. margaritas_and_money Thu, 02 Aug 2007 17:48:07 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/desperate_for_bras 77834 Re: Can you please be my friend?

That's actually a good question...I've never thought about it, but it could really happen. More people start to live there every year, and of course, babies get born. Then again, it evens out a bit because many people die but the people moving in change it. lol I have no idea. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:46:24 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/zero_population_growth 76611 Re: Do you blow dry or air dry your hair? I -have- to blow dry and then straighten my hair or I will look like a freak. lol I will have to wake up at around 5 am soon since I have to drive an hour one way to my new school, and our new house isn't done building yet. I might just take a shower at night and then style it in the morning, but I don't want it to look too greasy, and it's always harder to style if I dry it at night. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 13:06:15 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/air_dry_or_blow_dry 76445 Re: What are good dare ideas for truth and dare?

Someone I know said that she would be moving back to Tennessee, but I'm not sure if I believe her...and the most shocking thing she said was that she might be going to the same high school as me if she does move.

Yes, you could always put aside the mess that the webcam can see, or clean it up! :D lol Or, you could only show the webcam to people who know about the mess and why you have it. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:36:32 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/webcam_advice 76387 Re: Will I lose weight eating fruit everyday? Probably not, but if you change your whole diet and not eat fatty foods like burgers and chocolate, you might lose -some- weight. Also, try becoming more active and drink water instead of things like Pepsi and Sprite. If you run about 30 minutes to an hour a day, or even a brisk walk, and eat healthy you'll surely lose some weight. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:30:44 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/losing_weight_fast_28031 76378 Re: How can I make my breasts bigger? Yep, I don't think there is a way except for gaining loads of weight, but my weight goes to my stomach anyways. lol Like beauty said, you could use some push up bras or a padded one. I'm also not sure what your age is, but I think you stop growing at around age 20 or so. My sister's friend finally started to grow at around 18. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:28:05 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/boobs_151780 76373 Re: Do you like to eat out or cook at home? My mom prefers to cook and make meals at home since it's healthier and not as bad on the budget. At times, I prefer it too since it's better than spending around $150-$200 at our usuall restaurant, or healthier than something like Burger King or McDonalds. And don't get me wrong, I love my mother's cooking so I'm fine with it. lol margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:22:17 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/dine_out_or_cook_at_home 76366 Re: How do I know when to kiss her? I haven't had my first kiss either...but..like beauty said, it will probably just come naturally. You'll know when the moment is right, and you might regret it if you don't go for it. Maybe if you're sitting next to your gf, you could lean closer and just give her a little peck on the lips. If she's fine with it, do some more. lol And if you're not sure on how to kiss, google something like "kissing tips". That might make you a bit more conifident. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:19:32 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/kissing_467 76363 Re: Where do I get cute clothing that costs less? I like Tj Maxx, Ross, Marshalls, and Burlington Coat Factory. You can buy designer clothes there, and I have seen things like American Eagle and Abercrombie at Tj Maxx. (which is in style now adays...) I bought myself a Jessica Simpson jacket at Burlington Coat Factory for $7 when it used to be $75. You have to know how to look though...you have to look through everything to find something good. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:09:21 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/where_do_i_get_cute_clothing_that 76353 Re: Where can I get cheap and good clothes? I love going to Tj Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, and Burlington Coat Factory. You can buy designer clothes there for half the price or less. I remember buying this one Jessica Simpson jacket for $7 that used to be $75 at Burlington. lol margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:04:22 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/clothes 76348 Re: How can I clear up my face if nothing works? Well, not sure if you have tried it already, but proactive works. If you want to buy something cheaper that still works really well, try acne free. I suggest washing your face atleast twice a day, and be sure to not touch your face at all and do not pop pimples. If you know how to pop pimples the correct way, be sure to wrap some toilet paper around your fingers and wash your face right afterwards. Also, whenever you wash your face, use hot water first because it opens up your pores and then rinse it off with cold water since that will close them. So yeah, rememeber to not touch your face at all because your fingers may be dirty and the pimples will spread. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:43:02 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/remedies_for_my_face 76332 Re: What's a good gift for a son turning 18? Yes, electronics would be nice, or if he has a car, you could get him something for his car. A laptop would work, or maybe a new cell phone if he needs a new one. (maybe one of the newer ones since they seem "cooler") A trip would also be a good idea, and maybe he could bring like one or two of his best friends. I'm sure he would like that, but he should probably decide where he wants to go. margaritas_and_money Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:28:52 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/18th_birthday_8126 76311 Re: Any tourist or vacation suggestions for Greece?
