I do not know what to do about my acne!!! Can you please help me!!!?

2012-02-10T07:03:00.000-08:00

I hate looking in the mirror anymore. The dermatologists don't help me. Every time I get a zit on my forehead, it looks like I have a third eyeball. I have tried Clearasil, Acnefree, DDF, VitaC, Loreal 360, Clearasil and Cetaphil and nothing is working. I don't know what I have done to deserve this. I try to drink at least 5 bottles of water a day, I never eat junk food anymore, I change my pillow cases every night, I wash my face twice a day and I never touch my face. Should I just go to a regular doctor to see what is wrong with me? Is there something wrong with my health? I just keep getting these collections of puss under my skin when my diet is right and I don't get my face dirty. Can you please help me??

I'm afraid to even date because of what I look like.

Answer on I do not know what to do about my acne!!! Can you please help me!!!?

Well, I'm not sure what your dermatologist has prescribed, but I had the same issues for a long time, and I know it's disheartening. When I finally went to the dermatologist, he prescribed Retin-A 0.04% for the evenings, and a cream called Acanya for the mornings, which is benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin. For the first couple of weeks, the retin-A made my skin noticeably red, and it was definitely a little drying. However, within three months, my acne was pretty much gone. During my second appointment, the doctor upped my retin-A to 0.1% to help with acne scarring. I know that different things work for different people, but I've been really pleased with my results, because I thought that nothing was going to fix my acne. Since the bulk of my acne has healed, I can count on one hand the number of pimples that I have gotten. If you haven't tried these prescriptions, they might at least be worth a shot. I also tried all those over the counter things, and none of them worked for me, either.

Good luck!

What action did Spartacus take against Rome?

2012-01-24T10:34:00.000-08:00

Answer on What action did Spartacus take against Rome?

Spartacus was Thracian slave trained as a gladiator who led a slave revolt against the Romans. At first, he wanted to lead his army of slaves north & settle them beyond the frontier of Roman occupied lands but many of the "germanic" slaves didn't want to leave Roman territory so they all went back & forth in Italy raiding town after town until they were defeated by the legions of Crassus. Five thousand of Spartacus' men escaped & were defeated by Pompey who took full credit for subduing the slave revolt. Crassus didn't argue because he saw the potential use of allying himself with Pompey. The slaves who survived were all crucified along the Appian road as an example to all other slaves who even thought of rebellion.

Why do some people defend miley cyrus...?

2012-01-12T13:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, she was this good goody Disney girl. And yeah she's Hannah Montana. Miley Cyrus has A LOT of young fans. But, i can't believe why in hell in she acting and dressing this way. I mean, remember when she performed Party in the USA at the Much Music VIdeo Awards 2010, her outfit was fit for a stripper. And I know she's growing up but she does NOT have to dress this way. And Selena Gomez performed on America's Got Talent a few weeks ago and she wore this beautiful red dress and didn't do stupid stuff like Miley. I'm just asking for your opinions. It's not like Miley gonna read this or what not. But it bugs me when people say oh she's growing up and it's okay for her to do a lot bad things. If she wanted to become this, then she shouldn't have gone to Disney in the first place. You can either agree or...disagree. I mean, her young fans are like shocked lol, my four year old cousin was ahige Miley Cyurs fan and now she's like Miley's weird and boring lol

And sorry this is long LOL, I didn't realize it. I guess I got caught up in the moment LOL :)

And please don't get worked up about it, this is a mere discussion.

Answer on Why do some people defend miley cyrus...?

Her fans will defend her.Her haters won't.That's pretty obvious.

People are free to like or dislike anyone they want to.If some people want to like her then,they can but,if some don't then,they shouldn't be forced to.

I'm really surprised that all her fans keep on supporting and defending her for everything she does.I mean all Miley fans feel they won't be called her true fans if they don't defend her on each step.But,they should at least,once think like a practical person.E.g.Miley Cyrus gave a lap dance to her The Last Song' producer-Adam Shankman during a party.I could see her dancing in a bad way.i saw some other girls in the video who were keeping a distance with her partners unlike Miley who was touching Adam's body with those horrible moves.Miley's fans defended her by saying that she was only 16 then and that all teens do that when they are 16.

Are Miley's fans trying to say that all teens in USA and elsewhere do the same thing? They are not fully wrong.A lot of teens do bad things and even worse but,a lot of teens don't.But,the question is that are the Miley fans still considering lap dances to be bad or have they started to support lap dances by defending Miley?

I used to like Miley when she was young in 2006 and she didn't do anything bad then.

I would never say that the way Miley dresses is good.If other teens do the same thing then,it's wrong too.

I agree that she's 18 and she's free to do whatever she wants to but,what she does,isn't good.She wears revealing clothes which a lot of teens and even adults don't.e.g.Brenda Song and Ashley Tisdale who are older to Miley dress up in a decent way wherever they go unlike Miley.She bashes other celebs like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato,Twilight stars,etc.which is again not good.

Miley Cyrus is the person she chooses to be.Her decisions and actions are her own and going to effect only her and no one else! Only she knows what she's doing and why she's doing,in her mind.

PS:yes,i agree that Selena wears decent clothes but,you can't say that she's a good girl too.i like her as an actress,she's pretty and appears decent but,i don't know her as a person.she can be good or she can be bad.

Hello! I am an American student who will be moving to Rome for about 5 months to study abroad. Long story short...my housing feel through. So now I need to find an apartment real fast (for January 9th). Since I can't visit before I arrive...I need to find a source or something to help me get a place. I would like to be in Trastevere. Does anyone have any advice or help? I appreciate everything! Thanks!

Answer on How can I find an apartment in Rome, Italy (Trastevere, Rome)?

If you're going to stay for 5 months, don't rent something "blind". Take a B/B for about a week and during this time get an Italian friend/acquaintance to read Porta Portese (local paper for flats-rooms-elephants & brick a brack).

Sneak into better seats at monster ball?

2011-10-05T08:05:00.000-07:00

I have a plan to get better seats at a lady gaga concert, as you all know the security is very high there but I have a plan, I would love opinions on if it can work.

I was going to buy a cheap poor quality ticket off of stubhub, as you know if you have been to a big concert, as long as the barcode on the ticket is one from a LEGIT real ticket, it will scan by security and you will be alllowed in, my plan is to use photo shop the ticket and change the seat and row number, while keeping the LEGIT barcode so It ca still scan and i can still get in, just when I walk up to the row i have changed on the ticket, the usher will let me sit in that area, since the secuity rips the barcode off and leaves the part with the ticket rnumber

and remeber the ticket is rpinted on a normal peice of computer paper

thoughts?

Answer on Sneak into better seats at monster ball?

If you're a girl, do it the old fashioned way and get some backstage access giving a bj to a security guard or something. And if you're a guy going to a lady gaga concert, hopefully there is a gay security guy there and you can do the same thing.

hey ther guys!!

In March 2008 i begun my weight lose challenge. i am 5ft and weighed just over 10 stone.

Last christmas (2008) I weighed 9.5 stone, and found it hard to lose anymore! Then I started using my wii fit for and hour or 30mins cardo with another wii fit game and then going running. I would eat about 1 meal aday plus snacks at night like a bag of crisps or a 20p pixamix. i would drink water and the odd fizzy juice. DONT TELL ME THATS BAD FOR YOU. I KNOW!!! BLABLABLA etc...

Now I weigh 7.12 well it jumps from 7.12 to 7.10 then 8.1 ... i wanna get down to 7.6 because I have no confidence! I have a wardrobe full of fantastic, lovely clothes and no confidence in wearing them. So far I've begun since getting under 8 stone!

It's getting hard because I can't excercise because of my hip and my feet and I work in Subway the Sandwich shop 5 days a week so i'm always moving, sweeping, mopping etc.. It's not a desk job and I get temped by Dominos pizza, chineses etc... like Dominos 2 for tuesdays!! Boy its hard. I have just under half a stone to lose and i can't seem to get rid of it. I'm trying to stick to a 800cals limit, but I need help. Excercising is hard for me atm because of my long term injurys which seems never to go away and no thanks to the doctors who are crap!!! HELP, any tips? any diet plans? please!!!

Thanks you!! ano spelling isn't the great but thanks for reading

vicky xox

Answer on Help trying to lose those final pounds... please?

Well, to lose weight effectively, healthfully, and in a way that you can keep it off, you should lose no more than three pounds a week. (Plus you'll also be losing water weight and getting rid of bloating, so there goes another load of weight - anywhere from four to twenty pounds.)

Cut out entirely (or as very best as you can):

-Junk food

-Carbs other than whole-grain and whole-wheat

-Anything with high fructose corn syrup

-Anything with "sugar" as one of the first two ingredients

-Butter

-Oil other than olive or canola oil

-Cheese

-Full-fat dairy

-Potatoes, other than sweet potatoes

Eat around 1,600 calories a day. This should consist of:

-Four or five servings of lean meat/protein

-One serving of whole-grain/whole-wheat carbs

-One serving of fat-free dairy

-Three servings of fruit

-Five servings of vegetables

-As many non-starchy vegetables as you want (this means no squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, corn, or lima beans.)

Example:

Breakfast - two scrambled eggs with salt and pepper on one piece of light whole-grain bread, one apple, small container of fat-free yogurt

Snack - orange

Lunch - grilled chicken breast with spices, spinach and lettuce salad with vegetables and dressing made from vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper

Snack - half-cup of baby carrots, half-cup of grapes

Dinner - one roasted chicken breast with spices, half-cup of black bean salad or black beans with spices, two cups of steamed vegetables with a teaspoon of olive oil and salt and pepper

Every day, you need to get cardio exercise for at least an hour. Ride a bike, walk, run, do jumping jacks, kick boxing, anything.

How long will robin van persie be out with the current injury he sustained in the friendly against Italy?

2011-09-15T21:50:00.000-07:00

Answer on How long will robin van persie be out with the current injury he sustained in the friendly against Italy?

The ligaments are damaged which means he could be out for 3-4 months this can be harder to heal than a break which takes 6-8 weeks. Don't panic as Arsenal have plenty more in attack(Vela, Eduardo and Arshavin) plus Wallcott and Bedntner to return from injury and can happily challenge for the Premier League or "EPL" as some like to incorrectly call it.

South Beach Diet vs. Atkins?

2011-09-08T10:57:00.000-07:00

I want to try either one of those and cut my carb addiction but i have no idea which diet is more effective in terms of weight loss. I've been trying hard to lose the last 15 pounds and one of these diets would be great. Atkins seems a little too strict (so does south beach) but i'm desperate to shed my last few pounds. Which one is better and which one should i do??? I don't think i can commit to eating low-carb for the rest of my life

Answer on South Beach Diet vs. Atkins?

Cut carbs. Carbs are sugar.

I know it is hard, but the pounds will roll off.......

People with PCOS help?

2011-08-27T13:29:00.000-07:00

Hi, I just got diagnosed with PCOS. I am 19 and I of course want kids in the next few years and I understand that it can be very hard, but I've read that diet can help a lot. I am overweight so this is my motivation to lose weight. I was wondering if any one with PCOS has some diet tips and if anyone knows what foods I should stay way from.

I would also like some opinions on ttc. I know i'm 19 and im in college. I have a job but i am not financially set for a baby yet, but since it can take so long I do not want to be on anything that prevents me from having a baby. My boyfriend moved away so he only comes to visit every 3 months or so, so im not having sex all the time. My doctor knows not to put me on BC b/c they tend to make me sick but are their any other medications I'll want to stay off that will effect me getting pregnant?

Answer on People with PCOS help?

I don't think is a special diet for just your problem. although you may want to have some foods that increase estrogen like Chinese red beans and soy products. Basically when you want to lose weight exerciser is just as important as dieting but don't go over board. To much exerciser can make you tired and too sore to keep up exercising. You should try doing little things like drink less calories, drink more water and leave soft drinks alone. When comes to Coffee and tea make it yourself and limit your self. Drink more water, walk more don't take elevators escalators. Do some cardio exercise 30r 4 times a week swimming is a great way to lose weight if you can swim. Try bike riding around your town. or you can try a dance class.

I've officially reached my goal weight. Now what?

2011-08-16T04:36:00.000-07:00

I've reached my goal weight of 110 pounds. I'm 5'6" 1/2, 15 years old. So...that's all good.

But I can't stop dieting. I've been obsessed with my weight since I was eight years old, and I really don't trust my body to not expand like a balloon the moment I go off of my diet.

(I eat four 35-Calorie yogurts, one skinny latte from starbucks, and sometimes I snack on a handful of dry cereal. I also take double the recommended dose of Hydrxycut Advanced. I try to do an hour of exercise per day.) The way i've been going, i've been losing a pound every two days. If I lose six more, my BMI would be underweight...

So, I guess i'm wanting to know...what now?

Answer on I've officially reached my goal weight. Now what?

The first thing you should do is toss the Hydroxycut. All of those products are crap. You'll find tons of info about them at USA.gov.

The next thing you need to do is figure out what your lifetime diet will be. Diets are not something you go on and off of to lose fat. They are the way you eat. If you'd lost fat properly you wouldn't have to ask "What's next?" Instead you would just increase the portion size of your diet to the maintenance level and keep eating.

Here's how you should be eating. Eat a diet of varied, wholesome, and high quality foods such that your daily caloric intake is equal to your daily caloric burn while keeping your macronutrient ratios at about 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein). And don't do anything to defeat the foregoing plan such as taking supplements, drinking alcohol, abusing drugs, using cleanses or emetics, etc. That's it. It's that simple.

Here's the only two websites you need.

1. This site has a wide range of information about foods, fat, diets, and exercise with calculators, diet tips, food facts, etc. ---> http://www.freedieting.com/

2. This website is a great way to track calories, macronutrients, water, and exercise. It also does all the math for you and makes it super easy to look up foods to enter into your online food intake diary. There's a discussion forum where you can exchange info with thousands of other dieters. --->http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

If you track your intake you'll know where you are every day. You'll know if your eating healthy and you'll know if you're adding fat. The numbers will tell you everything you need to know. You have the freedom to make the food choices and splurge from time to time so you can have some birthday cake or just pig out on pizza. The numbers will keep you on track.

Diet's don't stop just because you got to goal. The is no substiture for proper eating and it has to be for life because everything only gets more difficult as you age, have babies, get sick or injured, whatever. As soon as you decide to forget dieting and to eat by the "seat of your pants" from now on, you'll start gaining again.

Good luck and good health!!

Here's my food intake diary as an example ---> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/c…

Also any dieting or fitness tips would be much appreciated. :)

Answer on How much weight is realistic to lose?

I would ask your Doctor Scarlet,

maybe go about 1/2 way of what your Doctor recommends.

May be people are putting pressure on you, and making you do things you don't need to do.

I don't know. What do you want to do? ok

Just do what you feel peace inside about doing ok

what do you feel inside?

What worked for me Scarlet was i cut back in bread; sugar; fat (like in french fries) caffeine, basically junk food. I would eat more fish.

Jesus Loves you Scarlet

It is celebrated between the night of 31 December and 1 January, is the oldest festival: it was the Babylonians about 4000 years ago to celebrate the New Year early.

This festival is followed television where it did a countdown and when the time the fireworks are launched throughout Italy to mean to drive out evil spirits, and to express joy. Earlier this year, these traditions are mainly aims to ensure abundance, prosperity and happiness for the whole year. This is sought through the choice of foods and sweets, typical of that day. The lentil soup for example, the raisins, which according to popular tradition bring money. Tradition has it also that you kiss under the mistletoe.

Where would you say are the best beaches in Italy?

2011-07-25T22:13:00.000-07:00

I am planning a 10 day driving holiday through Italy and wanted peoples opinions of the best beaches? Just looking to explore and find some beautiful places to relax with my husband and enjoy good food and wine!

Answer on Where would you say are the best beaches in Italy?

Hello, I'm Italian, here are some different coasts: in North (Veneto, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia) there is a coast low and sandy, in Liguria is tall and rocky with special feature particulary in "Cinque Terre", in all the South of Italy and in the Tyrrhenian coast the sea is much better than the Adriatic coast (famous for the fun of youth). For food and wine, is always good to eat and drink in any place.

However the best beaches (I think) are: Caorle, Jesolo, Albarella (very ralaxing, I love it), Grado, Grosseto, Rimini, Cervia, Cesenatico, Lidi Ferraresi, Viareggio, Cinque Terre, Lavagna, La Spezia, Gaeta, Costa Amalfitana, Ostuni, Rodi Garganico, Scalea, Reggio Calabria....

I hope this helps and that you understand

What should I weigh and how many daily calories will get me there?

2011-07-15T15:37:00.000-07:00

In comparison to my health problems, my doctor says he is more concerned about the risks of my weight right now than he is about the risks of losing it quickly. He has no problems with me losing it quickly as long as my bp and A1C can back it up.

I am currently 6' !', 303 pounds, and have a very large frame.

All the tables have me at 187 max and I think that is very unrealistic! I would look emaciated and my frame won't allow that anyway.

I'm exercising, drinking water, and watching the food intake with a low carb, high protein diet.

However, I have not been given any guidelines on daily intake of calories.

I would appreciate any advice on my goal weight and daily calories. My doctor is ok with 3 pounds a week (even 5 pounds every now and again, but not consistently) but a minimum goal of 3 per week is what he wants off of me to get me out of the danger zone I'm in.

Answer on What should I weigh and how many daily calories will get me there?

Attempting to lose weight through just food intake adjustment or dieting will generally end up with reverting back to what you were doing before. You must change your life style and habits for change to come. That means walking more and eliminating bad foods from your home and work life. Make it easy if it isn't you probably wont do it. Also in my opinion the tables are a load of crap the problem isn't the weight its the waistline we want to change.

Need some convincing advice to who is best because as a Man United fan I'm used to WINNING.

Since your supposedly use to winning, I would advise that you support the 4 time World Champions.

Where are the great COOKS??!! Steak and potatos recepi??!!! a breath taking recipe lol?

2011-06-28T04:31:00.000-07:00

Hi, my bfs fave meal is steak and potatos and I was wondering if anyone ones a great recipe to make the steak. I know how to cook, but I want to make him something different with the steak! Any awesome cooks??!!! Thanks a lot :)

Answer on Where are the great COOKS??!! Steak and potatos recepi??!!! a breath taking recipe lol?

OK steak you can make a pepper steak with a Cognac cream sauce. since i don't follow the same recipe try this one

this is a alton brown recipe

* 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed

* 2 tablespoons clarified, unsalted butter

* 3/4 cup beef stock or broth

* 3 tablespoons cognac

* 3/4 cup heavy cream

* 1 tablespoon green peppercorns in brine, drained and slightly crushed

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Sprinkle steaks with kosher salt and crushed black pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch, heavy bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Once butter is hot, add steaks and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare and 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove steaks from pan and place on a rack set on a sheet pan; place in oven to keep warm.

Add the stock to the saute pan and whisk until the crispy bits release from bottom of pan. Allow the liquid to reduce for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add cognac, heavy cream, and green peppercorns to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook, whisking continually, until sauce thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes.

Season the sauce, to taste, with kosher salt. Place steaks on plates, top with sauce, and serve immediately.

do cream cheese mashed potatoes about 5 russet potatoes peeled or not boil till tender drain and salt pepper to taste ad about 4 oz cream cheese mash one egg whip and place in oven and bake for about 15 minutes

you all so can make some garlic asparagus sautee some asparagus add minced garlic half way thru touch of salt and pepper

Serious question: can masturbading effect bodybuilding?

2011-06-27T02:26:00.000-07:00

so the thing is i masturbade, and a lot... mabey once a day i dontknow what lot is either and i have been doing it 4 a while, now i read multiple articles talking about horomones connected 2 weight loss or gain, and i know testosterone plays a role in bodybuilding as well as sexually. i just wanna know, i started bodybuilding (well actually ive been doing it for some time now). and i do get results but, does masturbading (edjaculation) effect my muscle browth? iunno this article http://www.bodybuildingweb.net/blog/effe…

says theres nothing wrong but i wanna be sure. if i saw for example stopped edjaculating, will i c faster results???

please help, serious question

thanks

i will report abuse if nedded!

Answer on Serious question: can masturbading effect bodybuilding?

Roy --

there is no reason for an effect, and no evidence of one. The only people who think there is an effect tend to be those who do so because they are fanatics of one sort or another. Masturbating and orgasming will have no effect on your muscle growth - and be careful of what you do to increase testosterone. There is no question that DHT (a form of testosterone) causes male pattern baldness, and now there is significant evidence that it also increases your risk of prostate cancer. Be happy with the testosterone you have, and the muscle growth you are getting, and enjoy masturbating, it won't slow anything down.

Kind thoughts,

Relationship problem with a girl! PLEASE HELp?

2011-06-09T17:19:00.000-07:00

I've been with a girl for more than 1 month.I like her and so she does she(I Believe).I went to her home like for 7 times and I acted like a gentleman and treat her with respect and helped her in lot of things(like studying...) and I told her that i'm next to her when she needs I will help her....I made some interesting activities with her. I keep talking to her and she talks to me about everything...But I didn't say something about love or relationship(That I love her).

yesterday, to show her that I love her, I made an awesome photo of her wearing a crown...and she was very surprised and happy and she thanked me alot and she made this photo her profile picture....At the same time,at the same moment, she changed her relationship status to in relationship but with who i don't know.I BELIEVE that this is me and no one else!(I didn't receive any request)

after a couple of hours when I logged on on FB, I changed my relationship status from single to relationship and Here I choosed her name as with who.

When she logged on, she changed her profile picture, she removed her comment on my photo("That's an amazing photo, thanks you very much...."), and she wrote "I hate this situation<///3"as what's on her mind comment.

I'm totally confused what to do, I changed then my relationship status to single.

Now, I don't know what's happening!!!???Could she want to be in relationship with someone else but the problem there is no name of with who!!??

Could she have 2 relationship requests at the same time ?

what I'm doing wrong??/

Please help me I'm desperate,sad and confused!!!!

Could the problem be that I've chosen her name as with who I'm in relationship???

Right now, her relationship status is still in Relationship.

Any advice to change my own status.

And If I confronte her face to face, and let's say, she don't want to be in relationship with, how I will change my attitudes with her?

Thanks you all

Answer on Relationship problem with a girl!PLEASE HELp?

Take a breath.

Stand back and look at this sensibly.

She put "in a relationship" on fb. Yes, I would have thought that was with you. But don't people discuss this before they change their status.

I think back off for a little while and see what happens, it may have been too much too quick for her. Just send her a nice little message, saying something like sorry, I didn't mean to move too fast for you or similar.

Send her a little gift or card on fb that says thinking of you and then leave it and see her reaction.

If her reaction is positive then take it a little slower this time, follow her lead, slowly, gently.

If her reaction is negative, then back away and wait - it may have all just been a little too much for her. Ask her when she would like to go back to studying together and see what happens. Don't force feelings onto her, it could push her away even more.

Staying friends is good too - the best relationships come from best friends...

Lose about 4 lbs each week?

2011-05-17T16:31:00.000-07:00

Heyyyy, well, my birthday is coming in about 3 weeks, and my dad wants to take me clothes shopping as a present (believe me I NEED new clothes). I've been working out lately, and so far I've lost 4 lbs in a course of 2 weeks. I want to know some exercises I can do to double my weight loss(I'm on a good diet 1,500 cals. a day don't worry).

P.S I'm turning 14

Answer on Lose about 4 lbs each week?

For each person it varies, but what I did I jogged between 3 to 5 miles every morning except Sundays, one day of rest, before school and I lost 25 lbs in 3 months and my diet was so so. Then as I was able to do them faster I increased the intensity by sprinting then jogging then sprinting and so forth. When I started I was 298 and I'm 6'4, now I'm 253. So the best think is to get active and beat your own time each day and you will lose a lot of weight fast... I hope this helps...

Barf diet for 10 week old German sheperd pup?

2011-04-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

I want to start feeding my pup the meat and bones diet but dont know how. Does anyone have recipes or exact amounts of how much to put in and how much to feed her? Do I need supplements too?

Answer on Barf diet for 10 week old German sheperd pup?

I feed my 11 week old Pembroke Welsh Corgi raw, it's a great diet. Once you decide to go raw, don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Be proud that you are giving your dog the best diet it can be on!

I've included a bunch of websites below that will teach you all about raw, but basically, you feed 80% meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ.

But, definitely look through the sites, they have a lot to offer.

Uveri, Italy is known for its festival where people throw oranges at people??

2011-03-28T01:24:00.000-07:00

What is the festival called in Italian and why do they celebrate this??

Answer on Uveri, Italy is known for its festival where people throw oranges at people??

The name of the town is Ivrea, in northern Italy. The festival is called "battaglia delle arance" (battle of the oranges) and occurs during carnival, which I think is not celebrated in English speaking Countries, except in New Orleans (Mardi Gras).

..ok i need help please!! binging ?

2011-01-31T11:52:00.000-08:00

my problem is im always trying to "diet" and im also always constipated but lately ive been eating a healthy breakfast and try eating throughout the day but i end up stuffing myself with everything i see then i feel so full that i cant even move, then i drink laxatives ( ive been drinking milk of magnesia) and feel much better later on but the next day i do it all over again and i think its getting worse does anyone know what i should do any advice/tips please

id appreciate your help

its ok if you tell me to shut my mouth and all that good stuff.

Answer on ..ok i need help please!! binging ?

It sounds like from what you are saying that you are bulemic. You probably cannot stop it yourself at this point-there are changes in the brain that occur from anorexia and bulemia, just like alcoholism. You need to seek help now before your situation gets worse. It is very easy to get an electrolyte imbalance from vomiting or laxative abuse (particularly potassium) and this can lead to heart problems, including cardiac arrest. I'm guessing your home life sucks, because eating disorders are a desperate attempt to gain some sort of control of your life. If you can't talk to your parents, find someone, anyone, to get you to a therapist and get some help, or you are headed for a life long problem. Or a very short life (not to scare you, but I think you need to be scared a little). There are about a thousand girls on this site with exactly the same questions as you, I try to give them all the same answers. The changes in your brain are similar to a heroin addicts - you cannot fix this by yourself. Please, please get some help.

How many people have won the golden ticket for Justin bieber cd?

Answer on How many people have won the golden ticket for Justin bieber cd?

Justin wrote on his twitter than a fan in London had won the private concert, during the time he was in Europe. Basically, there are 2 first prizes, and they are being in his next music video or a private concert. The second prize is backstage passes to his concerts, and the third prize is winning a Wii. There are a few people who won the second/third prize, and only one person won the private concert.

Is the UK relatively chuvanistic for Europe?

2011-01-18T13:17:00.000-08:00

In the "Gender Inequality Index" published by the UN, the UK is ranked 26th, which puts countries like the USA, Sweden, Spain, and even Greece and Italy above the UK for gender equality.

Does this indicate the UK is quite chuvanistic?

Answer on Is the UK relatively chuvanistic for Europe?

You can't always believe statistics, even UN statistics. With the less than enlightened view of women held by the Catholic church, I find it hard to believe there is greater gender equality in countries like Spain and Italy than there is in the UK. I don't know what the information this index was based on, but women lead a very good like in the UK, for example, there are more female university students than there are males.

Amphetamines stored in fat cells ?

2010-12-02T22:38:00.000-08:00

I used to have an addiction to methampetamine for a couple of years. During this time I gained a lot of weight due to starvation followed by binge eating. I've been clean for several months now and in the last 6 weeks I have been dieting. I've lost 7 kilos but I'm finding that I now have some of the physical symptoms that I had during the time of addiction such as chewing my tongue, jaw clenching, dumb face movements, lip smacking etc. I'm not feeling any type of drug high though. I'm just wondering if my fat cells are re-releasing the drugs back into my system as they leave my body?? I'm not liking these feelings. They're annoying, make my mouth hurt and bring back bad memories.

Answer on Amphetamines stored in fat cells ?

You should see a doctor. However, amphetamine is a fat soluble molecule which could dissolve in water because it has a positive charge. Your fat cells could be re-releasing the amphetamine.

Where should i stay in Venice and Rome, Italy?

2010-12-02T19:56:00.000-08:00

I am having a hard time figuring out where the best locations to stay in Venice and Rome. I would prefer to stay in an international hotel, near a train station, and hopefully close to the main tourist spots.

Answer on Where should i stay in Venice and Rome, Italy?

Venice is pretty compact you can walk from the train station to Piazza San Marco in 35 to 40 minutes or there's the vaporetto to get around. I stay in the San Marco area when I'm there rather than near the train station, but there are a lot of options. You can easily get to the tourist attractions on foot from anywhere except the outlying islands like Murano or the Lido. The Hotel Abbazia is close to the train station and is very nice: Hotel Abbazia

Rome is a much larger city. I stay in the Trevi Fountain or Pantheon area most often which aren't particularly close to a train station, but are walking distance to most of the tourist attractions. If you search the Esquilino-Termini area of Rome on the Venere site, you should be able to find something that meets your criteria. The Radisson Blu for example is right next to the main train station (Roma Termini) and is an international chain. There are also good connections to the rest of the city via the metro or bus. Personally, I would stay somewhere in the middle of the tourist area though.

How to achieve beautiful breast?

2010-11-28T06:52:00.000-08:00

Do you guys have any tips or secrets or Amy creams pills lotions type of diet food to eat types of bras etc

Or anything really

That will keep my breast nice , perky and round ?

Thank you!

Answer on How to achieve beautiful breast?

Hi,

Pl. try breast massage.

Breast massage as a method of natural breast enlargement and breast health has actually been used for years as a means of stimulating healthy breast growth and promoting breast tone, pliability and firmness.

Breast massage is one of the best ways to help create a more beautiful bustline by helping to shape, tone and promote growth of the breast and the area surrounding the breast.

By massaging the breasts on a regular basis, many ladies have claimed it has enhanced the shape, size and overall attractiveness of their breast.

Here are some guidelines for breast massage you may want to follow:

1.) Use Olive Oil or any other cream of your choice to help prevent friction and increase the enjoyment and relaxation of the massage for a more pleasurable and therapeutic experience. This can be an herbal mixture - there are some good ones out there that really do help to promote firmess and breast tone, while creating a larger and more rounded look.

2.) Light to moderate massaging using a gentle back and forth gentle “swishing” action is best. This can be in a counterclockwise circle around the breast to help promote maximum lymphatic drainage.

3.) To gain maximum benefit and therapeutic effects, breast massage should be practiced daily, as part of a routine - perhaps when fresh out of the shower, since the skin is still somewhat moist and the room may still be steamy, for a smoother massage which may be more easily lubricated since there will still be moisture in the air. If you prefer, even several times a day can be a great benefit. It depends on what fits into your schedule. A few minutes at a time should suffice.

Exorcism for all thing supernatural...?

oh and the shadow petson i believe to of saw was inside my room im not on ground floor

I DON'T HAVE THE IMAGINATION TO DREAM/HALLUCINATE!!!"

Answer on Exorcism for all thing supernatural...?

Shadow people usually boil down to a case of pareidolia. There is no evidence or plausibility for their existence - and lack of imagination does not preclude one from dreaming, hallucinating, having bouts of hypnagogia or misinterpreting natural phenomena.

Will difference in breast size decrease with weight loss?

2010-11-24T01:24:00.000-08:00

I'm 5'7, and weigh 160lbs. I want to get down to a maximum of 135. One of my breasts is like DD and one is D. I know they'll probably both decrease in size, but will they become the same size?

Any tips?

Answer on Will difference in breast size decrease with weight loss?

There is no way to know that until you lose weight, because it could be your breast tissue is greater on one side, or it could be your fat deposits more on one side, or it could be both. If it's just fat deposits that are making the difference, then it probably will even out somewhat, if not, then no.

Trying to do Slim Fast but would like to hear how others did it?

2010-11-06T00:53:00.000-07:00

I've logged onto the Slim-Fast website and I have read the success stories but I notice that many people just tell how good it makes them feel to have lost the weight. I need to know your stories of how you did it. I want to read how you followed the plan. I can't do breakfast and lunch because I'm still too hungry to do that. I do it for dinner now. I have fiber cereal for breakfast and a big lunch.

Anyone has any tricks they use to avoid hunger? Any special recipes? Any use of diet pills to help you stick to the diet?

How do you snack, how much? Do you stick to the 1200 calories a day. Finally anyone over 200 lbs. tried this diet? Please help. I've started it but am too tempted to cheat. I need details on how you did it. Testimonials is what I am looking for. Oh and for those who do not agree with the diet I understand but I want to do well on it so please stick to testimonials only. Thank you all.

Answer on Trying to do Slim Fast but would like to hear how others did it?

You should just think about the outcome and that should give you the motivation to keep going and stay on track with your diet. What people have the hardest problem with is grasping the concept of lower fat foods. Just because it has half the fat or half the calories of what you would usually have, does not mean that you can have double the serving. It just mean that you will be eating less calories for one cup of ice cream of the low fat kind, than you would be with the regular. Good luck. I tried the diet and it helped me lose weight sticking to it. I noticed change in how my clothed fit me on the fourth day and I was so excited to keep going and not cheating on it. Now remember, it is not a diet, but a lifestyle change. You will not just be able to lose the weight and go back to your old eating habits, you need to find what works best for you.

Do I apologize or not?? what'd you think?

2010-11-02T06:34:00.000-07:00

so my bf and i fought this morning.. he's in Italy btw, so time difference doesnt really help. even though i am completely sure im right and he was the one picking up a fight and telling me off.. i feel the need to apologize to him.. first of all because i really dont want to be the one to ruin his vacation, and secondly because i hate being mad at him and i dont want him mad..

Ive been also thinking that maybe being away from him for so long (2months) has made me a bit b*tchy and rough.. dont know if you understand.

so anyways!

QUESTION IS: would you apologize to your bf/gf even when it wasnt your fault under these circumstances? if so, what would you say?

thank you all so much!

xoxo

Answer on Do I apologize or not?? what'd you think?

no i wont apologize, if i wasn't my fault why could i? i would basically talk to him and tell him how i feel! if he is still mad give him some space and talk to him later!

What kind of music is played in French/Italian Restaurants?

2010-10-30T09:50:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love the music in French/Italian restaurants! It reminds me of being in Little Italy or in a nice cozy French coffee shop or something. The thing is I don't know under what Genre I should be looking up (i.e. Rock, pop, etc.) or where I can go to purchase this.

I want it to play in my home. It really has a soothing, stress relieving effect on me. Thanks!!

Answer on What kind of music is played in French/Italian Restaurants?

Italian music from the 50's seems to be a favourite. Think Dean Martin, Louis Prima. Did you know that the 80's song Gloria was first an Italian hit. Lots of polkas and bosa nova. Look at www.lifeinitaly.com

Was Lady Gaga bullied in highscool?

2010-10-29T23:05:00.000-07:00

Answer on Was Lady Gaga bullied in highscool?

School bullies called me fat and laughed at my appearance.’

The 24-year-old singer admits she struggled to fit in at an all-girls private school in New York, and was frequently made fun of over her appearance.

She said: ‘I had a very big nose, very curly brown hair and I was overweight. I got made fun of.’

But while the comments undoubtedly upset Gaga, she admits it was her work and her musical talent that helped her cope.

Does he like me or is he just being a friend?

2010-10-18T08:02:00.000-07:00

Brace Yourself, there's plenty of detials...

Myself and a guy friend of mine always take the piss out of eachother and laugh at eachother. Whenever one of us says or does something stupid, the other laughs and takes the piss. Once one of our friends said "Hahahaha I can imagine your wedding" (Speaking to both me and this guy) and we both blurted out at the same time "As if I'd get married to THAT!" but we were joking ofcourse. We also call eachother ugly and stupid and many other things, but we're just playfully joking around and being sarcastic so our feelings don't get hurt or anything.

Once we were discussing something but I said "I can't hear a word you're saying" and he smiled and said "Maybe that's because your hair is covering your ears..." and he moved my hair back. I told one friend about that and she went crazy and said It was definitely flirting and he likes me, another friend said that maybe he was just being friendly. I honestly don't have a clue.

Oh and also, once there was this thing on facebook to support NSPCC awareness so everyone had to put up a cartoon character as their profile picture.

I chose Jasmine out of the Disney film "Aladdin" then moments after he put his as Aladdin. I told him he stole my idea (in a joking way) and he told me it was actually in response to my picture.

Is what I've explained flirting or just playful joking between friends? I'm completely clueless and have been oblivious to this until a few friends pointed it out to me.

He also keeps saying that I like him, in a joking way. Like my friends called him up and started talking to him and I wasn't there, then he apparently randomly said out of nowhere that I like him. He always says to me "Oh you want me" and one I shouted "boo" in his ear and he just grinned and said "You just want to get close"

He was joking around but still?

Oh and he found out I liked someone but not who it was so he asked me 4 times who it was (via text/facebook)

Answer on Does he like me or is he just being a friend?

Im not sure how old you are but im nearly 16 and That thing with your hair is defiantly flirting saying you like him is probley hes way of saying he likes you and thats why he was asking who you liked because he thought it was him.... Hes deffiantly into you but hes obviously shy i was like that when i was younger and use to to stuff exzactly like that to my current girlfreind when we were best freinds because i liked her ...... Hope this helps (:

Goin to Europe for the 1st time. Need some Info about cell phone connection (read below)...?

2010-10-16T08:49:00.000-07:00

Okay so i'm goin to Europe in January mainly for 4 months in Germany & 8 months in Italy so my question is

First - Is there some way in which i can have the same phone connection between 2 countries..??

Next - is it better to take my own phone from India(my native place) or is there some offer where i can get a cellphone-connection combo...??

Please dont tell me out of the world options (in that case i can even take a connection from India and go..lol) ...Tell me what local europeans do...

Thanks a million..!!!

Answer on Goin to Europe for the 1st time.Need some Info about cell phone connection (read below)...?

You can have the same in Germany and Italy but it will cost you much more money than to get a prepaid sim in each Germany and Italy.

Your best bet is to go to several phone shops in each place and compare the planes there are many different ones.

Also you need to have a cell phone which is not simlocked otherwise you will need to buy one in Germany if your own is not simlocked it is much easier you can still use all the numbers you have on your phone if you need to buy a new one you will have to transfer all the data.

I haven't had my period for about 2 months?

2010-10-12T17:35:00.000-07:00

Is this a bad thing? O.o

I don't know if it's because I've lost some weight. Like I'll lose weight.. gain it back.. and then lose it again in like 2 days. And sometimes it's a lot of weight loss, and other times, it's a little.

I've seen some signs like my period is going to come, but this has been happening for like 3 or 4 weeks.

Basically, I haven't had it since January. What's happening to me? Weight loss is the only thing I think that could be a possibility. It's not like I have sex. I'm 13.. turning 14 in Sept. 6th, but I've had my period for 3 years now.

And I don't want to tell my mom or doctor because my mom will get on my case for not keeping track of when it's due. But I know for sure that the last time was in early- or mid-January. But yeah... and she'll scold me a lot for "not telling her sooner" and all that.

I also get some abdominal craps, but that's -sometimes-.

So.. yeah.. :$

And I also don't take birth control

Answer on I haven't had my period for about 2 months?

At your age, it is most likely very normal so I wouldn't freak out with worry. That said, you do need to bite the bullet and let your mom know. Her experiences are your best answer. And, you'll most likely meet with the doctor to make sure everything is indeed a-okay.

Good luck sweetie :)

Do American liberals realize that conservatives don't much care about what "the rest of the world" thinks?

2010-09-28T01:18:00.000-07:00

We're Americans who are mostly concerned with this country and what is best for it. Whether or not someone in Paris, Cairo, or Bangkok approves is almost as important to us as what Miley Cyrus wears to the debut of the Justin Bieber movie. Our foreign policy beliefs stem from how events in country x affect the US and what is best for us in the long run, not whether or not it is good for the country in question...that's why THEY have a government.

Answer on Do American liberals realize that conservatives don't much care about what "the rest of the world" thinks?

Obviously. Funny how the ideas they support have been ignored all over the world, and the reasons for economic success. Conservatives support not going bankrupt, I have yet to see why Liberals are so naive to believe we can just spend forever.

Is reduced fat peanut butter REALLY worse for weight loss?

2010-09-19T00:01:00.000-07:00

i thought the extra carbs/sugar don't add up to weight gain .. ?

everyone keeps telling me it's worse for you than regular, oh buy natural, etc. etc.

i'm trying to lose weight though, not for heart health (everything i else i eat is rly healthy) or be super organic.. -.-

i just don't want the extra fat to add on , extra mass, weight (trying to lose lbs and inches..)

i'm not sure what to believe though... but i want to know the effects of the extra carbs/sugar in reduced fat peanut butter, if that causes weight gain? -but there's less fat and less saturated fat

Answer on Is reduced fat peanut butter REALLY worse for weight loss?

Everyone wants a snake oil that will cure them of all ills. Sadly, peanut butter is not all that healthy for you. If you ignore the aflatoxin risk, you still have processed oil and tons of salt. Manufacturers usually boost salt and sugar when they take fat out of a product. Also, it's usually not that much fat reduction. Check the label. Excess salt will lead to water retention, higher blood pressure, and bloating. Sugar and fructose may increase your appetite and add unwanted fat to your body. Also watch out for natural flavors or natural spices, this hides various food additives. MSG is injected in lab rats to make the obese for testing. Aspartame found in diet soda pop is also a neurotoxin. In other words, it affects your IQ.

After several years to trying every diet under the sun, I finally lost 80 pounds with a healthy vegetarian diet. I'm sure you can do it too, given your strong motivation. You don't need to pay anyone anything in order to achieve your goals. There are a lot of snake oil salesmen out there. According to Gina Kolata of the NY Times who reviewed major scientific studies on dieting, the Atkins diet, Weight Watchers, and calorie restricted diets (including medically supervised diets) are ineffective for the vast majority of people over a period of a year or more.

If you want a beautiful body, you should look to free weight training ala "Body for LIfe" to achieve this goal. You can find this book in most thrift stores because it sold so many copies. Realize that diet is important and the changes you make to your lifestyle are a permanent lifestyle change. If you have to count calories all the time, it's impossible to sustain. Make sure your plan is something you can do for the rest of your life. My reason for staying on the diet has to do with how good I feel when I eat the correct foods. I give my own permission to cheat, but I usually don't because the food is so varied and delicious. I found that I lost 3-4 pounds per week at first and then trailed off to 1-2 pounds per week after the first few weeks. Don't despair, you can adjust your portion sizes later through a water fast after you lose the easy pounds.

The best diet for health is also the best diet for weight loss. It's a balanced whole raw and cooked vegetarian diet. This diet would include:

- Leafy greens

- Colorful vegetables

- Whole grains

- Fruit

- Legumes

All the protein, vitamins, minerals, enzymes are there. You need to supplement B12, D3, and Omega-3 as mentioned earlier. Otherwise, there is no need for pork, meat, fish, cow milk, and processed foods. These foods are promoted by well funded diary and meat and processed food associations stressing their protein content or some other nutrient. Most Americans are suffering from excess protein consumption, not a lack of protein. Excess protein causes acidosis which is harmful to your health.

Eating a little animal flesh once in a while is inevitable for most people, but the standard American diet of dairy and meat at every meal is the reason Americans are dying most often from heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and even diabetes. T. Colin Campbell has the research to show correlations between these diseases and consumption of animal based foods. See the "China Study."

Dr. Esselstyn, Jr. explains how an animal based diet leads to heart disease. The risk of these diseases can be reduced to a small number by changing to a whole plant based diet. This is shown in studies conducted by all of the nutrition and health researchers I listed under sources.

Media will not share this information with you because they are paid to promote the standard American diet. Sadly, most physicians have received minimal training in nutrition, and even those curriculum are influenced by the pharmaceutical manufacturers through the AMA.

If you are on any cholesterol lowering medication (such as a statin) or other drugs, you will want to coordinate with your physician because these medications must be tapered off when you stop consuming so much cholesterol. Blood lowering medications would also need to be tapered off. Other drugs may become too potent as you begin to detoxify. It is essential to adjust the dosage of any drugs you may be taking.

The vegetarian diet should be sufficient for you to lose 60 pounds, however, there is another option that allowed me to lose an additional 20 pounds. It's called a medically supervised water fast. Typically it's used to help treat other medical conditions, but it can work for weight loss as well.

Diet and Exercise/Lifestyle Changing Tips?

2010-08-11T16:59:00.000-07:00

I'm 15 years old, female, about 5'5, and I need to lose alot of weight. >-> I'm 225 pounds as of now. I've been depressed for a few years, and have some serious self-esteem issues.

What kind of diet could you reccommend for me? I have a real sweet tooth, and kind of need to resist it to lose some major weight. Maybe some example foods, daily calorie intake, and exercise tips!

I don't have money to go visit a gym, and would prefer some form of exercise that I could do alone in the comfort of my own room so no one would have to see me...How long should I exercise a day? What's a realistic target weight I could shoot for?

Sorry for all the questions, but it's after the holidays, and I really need to get a grip on my weight problem. I really should have started last year, but this year, I feel committed!

Thanks in advance. :D

Answer on Diet and Exercise/Lifestyle Changing Tips?

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.

If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which

will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow

underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without

exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For

diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food

after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on

your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If

you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey

cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your

diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to

calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,

start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the

most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a

lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,

disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target

your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a

bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you

to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Weight loss for the lazy?

2010-08-09T11:31:00.000-07:00

I want to know of anyones tips and tricks on keeping healthy and maybe even dropping a few pounds for people like me who are too lazy to work out and don't have the will-power to diet. Is there anyway to beat the system of just "working out and eating right"? Im not over weight YET, but i can feel it coming. So, any ideas?

And leave out the expensive surgeries, and shots and pills, because those would probably be my last resort if my weight became a serious problem.

Answer on Weight loss for the lazy?

There's really no way to dodge the system of eating well and being active, but there are a few little things you can try to incorporate into your life that shouldn't be too hard.

For instance, if you drink a lot of soda or eat a lot of cookies (or whatever your vice is), try just cutting out one serving of that per day. Drink a lot of water instead of soda or juice. Or if you like juice, just water it down a bit.

Incorporate tiny amounts of activity into your daily life. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, or park further away in the parking lot once in awhile. Walk whenever possible. I know you say you're lazy, but I'm not saying do anything strenuous. Also, studies show that people who fidget (like tap their legs) are generally thinner than non-fidgeters). Do exercise that seems more like fun than real exercise, like dancing, hiking, swimming, or bike riding.

If you're hungry for junk food, wait 20 minutes. Chances are the craving will pass by then. Cut down on your portion sizes just a little bit. Also, count out your serving sizes. Like if you see on a bag of chips, a serving is 15 chips, count them out and put them in a bowl. Don't sit there with the whole bag, mindlessly munching. This is when people end up going overboard and eating more than they really want, because they aren't thinking about it.

I am engaged to a military man and had some question?

2010-08-04T11:52:00.000-07:00

so he asked a couple of weeks ago. and of course i said yes. I love him very much. unfortunately he is now based in Italy. and to tell you the truth i have been trying to see how i can live with him and work in Italy before he asked. I miss him. so he told me it would take around a year before we could live together after we get married is that true? a coworker said she knew someone and it took less time. how long does it take? I don't think he really knows either. is there any way to get my resident card for italy without being italian ? and how long would it take? we have not planed a date. i have not really asked since i want to go and see him in person and talk about it. I miss him alot and i would like to be with him as soon as possible but i would like a small wedding. so i dont want to rush it but i feel like if i dont then i wont see him for a year and not only that but i wont get to do all the things i dreamed of doing with my husband like picking out our first furniture. o and would there be jobs available for people who can not speak italian well? i am learning since he is up there. how long does it take to deliver something from georgia to those apo ae address in italy? i sent him a christmas gift today hoping he wont open it till christmas. or it arrive before then.

Answer on I am engaged to a military man and had some question?

He needs to fly home and get married in the states!

then , he can get all the paperwork started for you to become a military dependent (spouse)

and you can join him in Italy!

Your life will be complicated if you try to go and live in Italy as a civilian, first

First of all, as a civilian you need a sponsor and job waiting for you in Italy!

You need a visa, civilian U.s. Passport , a reason for going there, etc...!

I'm pregnant after a one-night-stand. How do I tell him?

2010-07-17T20:24:00.000-07:00

6 weeks ago I had a one-night-stand with this guy. A couple of days ago I took a test. I'm defo pregnant and i've only done the deed with the one guy. I want to tell him but I don't know how to. He will probably shout and scream at me. The major problem is he is in a relationship and his girlfriend doesn't know we had unprotected sex- or even sex for that matter! I want to believe he'll leave her for me and baby but I just can't be sure of it. How do I tell him gently? Another problem is his girlfriend is my best mate, help! I've got myself into a right mess.

Answer on I'm pregnant after a one-night-stand. How do I tell him?

Firstly, good on you for keeping the baby (:

I hate the amount of people who are asking about abortions for themselves, or recommending others get abortions. So thank you for at least realising that a mistake you made shouldn't mean the death of your baby.

Next. He should probably know sooner rather than later.

I don't know how old you are, but if you are young make sure your parents know first (if they don't already), and have them on board for support, which will help.

Were him and his girlfriend dating at the time?

If they were, then you may be about to lose your best mate.

If he doesn't leave you for her, try not to be too hurt. He will still, at least, be responsible for child support which will help you while raising your baby.

Easing into it, while telling him, may not work for you. You could hint at it, and be about to say it, then chicken out. If, however, you just get it out in the open quickly "I'm pregnant, it's yours". You won't need to think about it much, you just say it, take a deep breath and prepare yourself for what comes next.

Whatever you do, don't let him talk you into abortion. Its your body, and your baby, and you are the one who decides what happens next.

Don't let him shout and scream at you. It is just as much his fault for not keeping it in his pants, or using a condom. If he does shout and scream at you, stand up for yourself. He caused this to happen as well, it wasn't all you.

After you tell him, you may want to tell your best mate, his girlfriend, privately, before he has a chance. If she is your best friend, it would probably be best coming from you. Although, if you want to keep this private for a while, particularly at least until family know, don't tell her straight away. If she is angry enough, she may go around telling people to get back at you. But then that could also humiliate her, because it's her boyfriend, so hopefully she won't do that. She might be really mad, but if she is a friend worth keeping, she'll come around eventually.

Also, while telling him make sure you are somewhere safe. I have no idea what this boy is like, but if you think there is even the SLIGHTEST chance he may get violent, tell him somewhere where he won't be able to hurt you. it'd be horrible for him to harm you or your baby.

Before you tell him, make sure your parents know. I don't know if you have told them or not, but it would be horrible for them to find out from someone else instead of you. If you tell them, and get their support, it will help you when it is time to tell him.

Good luck to you, your family and your baby.

I hope everything goes well for you and you have a successful pregnancy and birth.

Answer on Evaluate the life of Spartacus as a Roman slave and explain how he was successful in the revolt?

Spartacus was a gladiator and a slave of the Romans. He was made to fight other gladiators and wild beasts in an arena for the amusement of Roman citizens. He led a revolt against the Roman Republic which lasted from 73 B.C. to 71 B.C. He led an army of slaves of about 70,000. For awhile his army defeated the Roman forces and gained control of much of central and southern Italy. I guess he was successful for awhile because he and his men were fighting for their freedom. However in 71 B.C. his army was defeated by the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus. Spartacus was killed in battle. Author Howard Fast wrote a famous novel on Spartacus and his rebellion against Roman rule. In the 1950s there was a great movie based on his book starring Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, and Sir Lawrence Olivier. I hope that this has been some help to you.

Is my three year old over weight?

2010-07-13T14:26:00.000-07:00

My son just turned 3 January 7th. I just had him to the doctors and he now weighs 48lbs. When he was born 2 months premature and only weighing 4lbs 12oz, It was important to pack on the pounds. Now, I am so worried I am harming his health. Here is my story before you judge. I have always been a twig! I am now 28, 5ft 8in and weigh 115lbs. I have always wanted to be 20lbs heavier but could never put on weight for the life of me. (My mother had the same problem when she was my age) I would eat and eat and gain nothing! I have never been comfortable in my own skin because I feel like a skeleton and I feel discusting. I have even actually been asked if I was anorexic (hell no!) and been asked if I do cocaine (Never in a million years!!!) Because of this problem, I have always been able to eat whatever, whenever! And I do just that! I can eat like a horse! I have always been a junk food eater and wouldn't know the first thing about dieting. I currently am drinking boost plus to consume as many calories as I can in one day to hopefully gain something! Anyway, My son obviously did not get me genes but his fathers instead. (he was a chubby kid)This is my only son. Yes, he is spoiled but very well behaved. I know that I by him sweets because I always loved them and they always make kids happy. Every kid eats candy bars every now and again. We also enjoy baking cakes cookies and cupcakes together. Now don't get me wrong, he loves candy bars but we don't get them often. He likes to bake cookies but won't eat them. He loves veggies and berries and manderine oranges. He loves meats and cheese. I is a very solid kid. He will only drink choclate milk (which my doctor told me to give him because he wouldn't drink white milk) and loves macaroni and cheese (yes I know this is a starch, I hear it from my mom all the time.) His daily meals would be like this, Breakfast (eggs, toast, ham and a fruit) Lunch (macaroni and cheese and nuggets and beans ect.) and dinner (same as lunch sometimes or a roast with potatoes and veggy) basicly I think he eats well balanced meals. Snacks might include, fruit snacks, yogurt, cheese sticks, crackers, pb and j..... ect. I really don't think that he eats horribly. But maybe I am wrong. I asked his doctor if he was over weight and he said no, he is just a big boy. Here is the problem, my mom and sister (who has a 1 1/2 yr old daughter with my genes, skinny minnie) give me hell all the time and really make me feel like a bad mother! I feel like I am constantly trying to defend myself. I know they only do it because they care but come on! My mom says " I just don't want him to get picked on when he starts school" and My sister says" I don't feed my daughter JUNK" she doesn't want her daughter to end up pudgy like she was so she feeds her all organics, no chocolate, no cakes, no cookies, no chocolate milk, no icecream and NO TV. nothing that I think a child needs to experience in their childhood. Plus my doctor said it was fine to give him these things. He said that you don't want to deprive him and turn him into a dork. And that if you don't give them these things on occasion, when they finally do get to try it, they will go overboard on it. My sister has nothing to worry about! My neice could eat a horse and not gain a pound! I am just really tired of feeling like a bad mom for giving my son treats on occasion although he will ask for fruits or veggies and I give them to him. I feel like my sister thinks she is better than me because my son is husky. My son eats everything her daughter does and gains and she doesn't! I told them that the doctor said he is not overweight but they don't believe me. I have bought him a smart cycle, trampoline and bike to keep him active and he is a very active kid. Yes, he is husky and I am not deniying that. He has a gut on him and celulite. But I feel that his next growth spurt will be up and not out. I don't want him to be the fat kid that gets picked on either but am I wrong? Am I doing something wrong? Is he overweight? Please tell me. Be honest. My sister even treats me bad because I put syrup on his pancakes and butter. (not a lot, just enough to help him get it down) Where she feeds for daughter whole wheat pancakes with organic applesauce on them. Really? Is this what I should be doing?

Answer on Is my three year old over weight?

what he eats sound fine. actually probably better than alot of 3 year olds i know. his diet is well rounded and balanced. i wouldnt worry about it. who cares what anyone says as long as he eats well and the doc says he is fine. also another thing to consider is his height? is he taller than average as well.

my son was 45 pounds at 3 years...but also pretty tall.

just leave him be and try to ignore any negative comments

Is it pointless to exercise if I don't go on a healthy diet?!?

2010-07-11T08:21:00.000-07:00

I'm an 18 year old girl, very average weight. I have a little pudge coming on my tummy though.

I've been down the exercise and diet rode many times, it's just too expensive for me to buy healthy foods every week and to hold back on my favorite junk foods.

I run either on the treadmill or on the elliptical for at least 30 minutes a day, about 4 days a week.

Will this be effective at all if I don't go on a diet plan and eat my normal foods? Ex. Pizza, sandwiches, chips, etc.

Will I see any results or just maintain the same weight? Or is it just pointless to do these workouts?

Answer on Is it pointless to exercise if I don't go on a healthy diet?!?

Its definitely not pointless cos you'll still burn off calories but its better to have a bit of a healthy diet.

e.g. don't eat to many fatty foods like fast foods and to many sweets and stuff. Have your 5 a day. And there are many foods out there that aren't fatty foods and are delicious!!!

Or you could just exercise and eat whatever you want!!!

Silly Northern Italians - A question for people who have been to Australia...?

2010-07-04T11:52:00.000-07:00

I'm an Aussi (not a bogan one, a smart one) and recently we had an Italian (Northern Italy) exchange student come to our school. I understand that the cultures are so different, but he basically said we're fat and stupid. I felt surprisingly quite sad to hear this, as I do not believe I fall under either of these categories so I asked my father what Italy is like. He said Northern Italy is where all the "stylish" things come from like sports cars & fashion.

To the point, is this exchange student being pompas or are Aussi's really just fat and stupid? Do you international people also think that of us? Thanks

Answer on Silly Northern Italians - A question for people who have been to Australia...?

I'm Australian so I don't think I'm going to give the answer you want, not sure where you are but if you're in a high obesity and low education area then maybe that was the basis for his assumption though, I do know we are having rising obesity rates, but in a school most guys are not fat in my experience, and there are lots of good kids, honestly I think that's just a rude thing to say and he sounds like an idiot. But I do know lots of Italians and haven't heard that.

Where are the homeless people in Europe?

2010-07-02T17:20:00.000-07:00

I have been to many countries in Europe and did not see any homeless. I have been to France, England, Germany, and Italy, to name a few and did not see homeless people on the street. I would like to know if there are homeless people there, where are they? If there are a small population, how did these countries decrease their visibility or numbers? We must be doing something wrong in this country. Those countries are considerably more expensive than our major cities.

Answer on Where are the homeless people in Europe?

They're definitely there. Maybe you just weren't looking.

Everybody knows Drake is blowing up in the Hip-Hop scene right now. He's really good lyrical and also has a good hook. But who make his beats? The beats that he usually raps or sings over is always good. Songs like "Uptown", "Juice", "Do It Now" and "Faded" are just to name a few. Anyone knows who produces his beats?

I really need help on this i've got a project due in on the 22nd of april and i can't find anything.

Answer on What is life like in northern Italy?

I line in piemont, piemont people are kind of closed compared to the south. Cultures, the land of wine, top notch restaurants...very touristy for this reason. The fall hosts wine festivals, white truffle fairs definatly the high season is September-December

The climate, because is is surrounded by mountains on 3 sides, a moderate climate. I think its been below 0 degrees in the winter 3 times this year.1 snow fall that lasted a day, spring 15-20 degrees. Summer hot ie 30-35°, very humid all year round. Fog, I mean intense fog that can last for days in fall and winter months. Hope this helps. Good luck

Should I get something to eat? I'm on a diet but I'm pretty hungry now.?

2010-05-19T01:26:00.000-07:00

I've already eaten my limit for the day, but it was much (in volume). I just made bad food choices today. I was going to go to the gym. Should I do that instead? Both? Neither?

Answer on Should I get something to eat? I'm on a diet but I'm pretty hungry now.?

Depends on your diet. If it's a ridiculous 500 calorie diet, EAT MORE. If it's a healthy one with all 2,000 calories, you can probably still eat something if you're hungry. You can also go to the gym. If you really don't want to eat anything at all, not even something healthy, drink milk. That will sit in your stomach like food.

I will be traveling to Italy and my home base (taking side trips) will be in Naples.?

2010-04-30T16:43:00.000-07:00

I am wondering if there is another train rail that runs in Italy besides the eurostar? Something cheap that you can ride on everday and every morning to take side trips. Also, is it easier to travel from Naples to Rome, Naples to the Amalfi Coast, Naples to Calabria, Naples to Lake Como; by train or car? Can you take a ferry from Naples to Palermo, Sicily? How long is the ferry (How many hours, minutes)?

Answer on I will be traveling to Italy and my home base (taking side trips) will be in Naples.?

The Eurostar is a type of train, not the train company here. It's one of the faster trains with limited stops and therefore more expensive. Depending on where you're going, there may be intercity trains with a few more stops or regional trains with a lot of stops. The regional trains are generally the cheapest option, but take longer and may require multiple train changes if you're going long distances. You can check specific schedules and prices at the Italian train website: http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/cms/v/i…

I wouldn't recommend driving in either Naples or Rome.

From Naples to the Amalfi Coast, you can go by boat, bus, or train. The train is the Circumvesuviana line which goes to Sorrento (and there's a stop at Pompeii on the way). To go beyond Sorrento, you need to take a bus or boat if you're not driving. There are ferry schedules and prices here for Capri and the Amalfi Coast: http://www.capri.net/en/ship-timetable

Ferries to Palermo take about 10.5 hours. There's information here: http://www.viamare.com/SNAV-naples-paler…

How to become a troll?

2010-04-03T06:12:00.000-07:00

i know thy are kool and all.

Answer on How to become a troll?

Three are two types of trolls. one type posts random stupid stuff and pointless insults. Like the ones who call everyone on Fashion and accessories fat or ugly. The other type puts a bit of thought into his trolling. Like going on fashion and accessories and telling women how to dress modestly in pantyhose and long sleeves in order to live a biblically pure life. One type goes to vegan message boards says mmmm bacon. The other type goes on to post a long essay pointing out that so called "animal friendly" shoes and clothes are in reality made of petroleum by products and the petroleum industry is responsible for more animal deaths than the entire US farm industry and then ask why do vegan hate the environment. See the diff? One you can easily ignore as an ****** while the other inspires feelings of rage in the reader and fuels the need to type out long pointless essays. Spelling and grammar counts: trolls with impeccable communication skills inspire more rage than a troll that can't even spell the word "they" Finally, a superior troll will provide references for their assertions no matter how obtuse or far-fetched to source or the connection to the argument. If you excel at this form of trolling then someday you too can get this picture as a response: http://imagemacros.files.wordpress.com/2… Or someone will post "you are either a f*****g moron or the world's greatest troll"

Which meal is better pre cardio workout?

2010-03-21T12:38:00.000-07:00

I'm going to workout in the morning at 8:30ish and I know they say don't eat before for maximum weight loss, but I wake up at 5:15 and I'm one of those people who NEED breakfast and 3+ hours is way too long for me.

Should I eat cottage cheese & 1/2 peanut butter sandwich or oatmeal & a banana?

I'm going to be doing 20 mins of elliptical, 10 mins of biking, and ab workouts.

Answer on Which meal is better pre cardio workout?

People that never eat before they workout in the morning may find themselves a little lighter throughout the day but tests have shown they're body will adapt and will withhold more calories from they're dinner later in the day. So a breakfast is almost essential to get your metabolism on track and develop a healthy diet.

That being said, cottage cheese and peanut butter are nutritious but come along with a little saturated fat. If you're gonna eat them go with a small amount.

However, oatmeal is an AWESOME breakfast: great source of fiber, lower "bad" cholesterol, reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes, etc. Bananas are awesome too as I eat an oatmeal breakfast with banana sliced in it to add taste...but that's just an option.

Important to note: don't go for the sugared-up brown bags of oatmeal...nothing but simple carbs that digest fast and turn to fat. Get the large containers of Quaker Oats with JUST whole grain oats. You can self flavor a lot of different ways (like I do with a banana). If it still tastes dull you can add a little (just a little!) of brown sugar. Also, water or SKIM or 1% milk. 2% is "ok" but try to go with the lower fat milk.

How do you deal with a mean sister?

2010-03-17T07:51:00.000-07:00

i have a sister and she is very mean to me and our parents, she don't want to get a job nothing, she just cares for tv, and she swears to our dog and even has hit him once.

Answer on How do you deal with a mean sister?

Sounds like she's angry overall and in a way is asking for someone to notice. I don't know if you can do much about her behavior as you don't have any power over it.

It might not be the case, but your parents might need to get involved with a combination of discipline and time spent with her (and you).

For you, maybe asking her why she does things could be a way to disarm her anger and make her think about the reasons herself. Who knows, maybe it'll break the wall down and enable her to vent to somebody about why she is angry.

What can I serve at dad's surprise party?

2010-03-09T20:36:00.000-08:00

I'm throwing a surprise party tomorrow for my dad. At the moment all I have planned is basic stuff - chips and dip, sodas and diet sodas, a veggie platter, a fruit platter, some jello shapes (cut with a cookie cutter) and chocolate cupcakes (instead of a cake). I need more ideas about what to serve, things that won't break the bank (I'm a college student. I'm po'.)

I'm a vegetarian (not vegan, dairy and eggs and such are ok) so I don't want to serve meat, and he's diabetic so I don't want a lot of junk food like pizza. I don't mind serving SOME junk food (such as the chips) that the party guests can enjoy, but I'd like to not overwhelm the table with junk. It's my dad's party, he should be able to enjoy at least most of the food available.

I'm already making the sugar-free flour-free low-carb cupcakes and frosting from scratch so I'm not that interested in doing too much more cooking but if you have a good recipe for something simple that doesn't require a lot of time or effort, I might consider it.

It's not a dinner thing, I just want to serve plenty of snacks and such. Any ideas? It's my first surprise party.

Answer on What can I serve at dad's surprise party?

8 oz package of cream cheese

1/2 to cup of brown sugar (dad may have to skip the dip)

1 tsp. vanilla

mix and use as a dip for sliced apples or veggies...delicious!

Tell dad Happy Birthday!
