How do i change my appearance?(picture)?
well u are very beautiful
maybe a lil eyeliner and mascara so u can make ur eyes look even more pretty
hmmmm.. for the hair. maybe some choppy layers? and how bout some medium length bangs?
but u look fine just the way u are
You look fine to me... hmmm, the only thing would be a little more makeup, like eyeliner and mascara.
this is just weird
You're pretty as is. just brush your hair and keep it back you're hiding too much of your face

You are pretty, the picture is scary.
I'd say to get some stripper and strip your hair down to blond. Then let it grow in naturally. You'll have a nifty two-tone look for about a year and a half.

Try getting your hairline threaded.
Make-up: Silver (grey) and pink
Hair Colour: Black, with some highlights
Hair style, layered with bangs!
The bangs will totally help!
Do somthing like this and wear more make up.
http://mtblog.allure.com/beauty__reporte鈥?/a>
I would go with darker hair, like an ash brown colour.
As for style, what you have now is good. Maybe a little shorter, like a bob?
Make up --just very light, natural, basic stuff. Mascara, blusher, etc. You have good skin and nice features, so you don't need much makeup at all, if any.
Hope this helped. :)
Please answer mine?

that picture is kind of scary haha ,but you are pretty.
i like your hair color, keep it.
i think bangs would look cute on you.
your perfect the way God made you! own it!?
I think you're pretty
although since you look like you have large eys you don't need to make your eyes bulge out when you take a picture
if you change your hair color you should go darker not lighter
but I like it the way it is
You don't need to change anything... you're beautiful.

How should i cut my hair and what color should i die it?
I'm a girl. My natural hair color is very light brown. My skin is medium light. My hair is pretty long right now and i need a change. I want bangs but I don't know if my face shape would look right with them. I have a big fore-head so i kind of want to cover it. My face is a little long and it's kinda square. I use to dye it like dark auburn but i was thinking it might be time for a change. Thanks for all your answers.
How should i cut my hair and what color should i die it?
my moms a hair dresser and she said for a squarish face long elegant layers are the best and since you have a big forward head i think you should go with bangs maybe like a chestnut for the color
How should i cut my hair and what color should i die it?
you should make it ELVIS style.
What looks best on you: face-framing layers, but short, spiky cuts look great also, as do long, sleek styles with layers that start at the jawline %26amp; continue downward.

How can I get my lazy husband to help?
My husband works 5 days a week, on his days off he is on the computer or in front of the tv the entire time. I am a full-time student and take care of our 2 1/2 yr old son and 5 month pregnant. I do all the household chores, which most of them I don't mind doing. But, he wanted a dog, so we got a dog, I am not picking up the mess in the backyard from him. I shouldn't have to tell him for several days to change a light bulb because he doesn't want me to do it while prego. Even to have conversation with him is like beating my head on a brick wall. He doesn't listen, our son wants to spend time with him and he just brushes him away. All he wants to do is play computer games and watch football. Then he tries to expect me to bring him a drink or lunch or something and gets mad and pissy if I don't I still don't do it, he can come down to get it himself. What should I do about it? How can I get him to pitch in with something or help with our son? He should at least clean the garage, right?
How can I get my lazy husband to help?
You knew what you were getting into when you married him,
it's not like he changed overnight. So now just deal with it.
Sorry, but you shouldn't marry someone thinking they will
change.
How can I get my lazy husband to help?
wow he sounds horribly lazy-get yourself a tazer!
M-13...lol
My husband says you aren't being unreasonable. I think if your husband wanted kids he should be required to help out. Unplug the TV or have the cable turned off. If he gets pissed tell him you can't afford it anymore since you need help from outside sources to take care of his children.
Edit: If he thinks you sit around and do nothing, stop doing everything. Tell him sorry, but you didn't have time to do the laundry, clean the house or cook dinner. If he wants those things, he can get off his as*.
Never use the word 'should'! Tell him you are feeling pretty frustrated by his behaviour and that you are needing more support at the weekends. Also he needs to spend some time bonding with his son and that needs to be addressed. His priorities are all out of whack! Oh and change your own light bulb - you will be fine! With the dog - tell him if he is not prepared to take care of it you will have to find another home for it.
How about hire a hot looking young guy to be your assistant for the things he refuses to do?
Joy to you!
PS - just saw your additional note that he just returned fronm Iraq - he may be suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome. See if the VA has a program for that.
You can't get him to help. He's a MAN.
Do not nag! That will make things worse. Pray. Perhaps someone from his family or a family friend can explain. Have you tried marriage counseling? Don't overwhelm him with all that he is not doing, but tell him you appreciate what he is doing and you need him to also do ... just one more thing. Do not nag. Handle this with love and the power of a woman.
make special plans to get him around the house. Honestly I don't know if I could stay married to someone like that because I expect attention. I saw my sister in law cleaning on her hands and knees as my brother worked out at the gym. I asked her how often she cleans and she says every sunday. I bet my brother does not ever help and I feel bad for her. I ask my boyfriend of two years to clean something and he always does it and does a better job than me sometimes. I think you need to set him straight and tell him you are done doing all the house work. Its not fair you have enough on ur plate, he needs to get off his lazy @$$
You can't force him to do anything, but you can stop doing things around the house and for him.
Get a cattle prod
Don't serve him food or drinks hand and foot. Tell him if he doesn't give time to his kid, you'll get a adult male buddy for him. Don't do his laundry, don't iron his clothes and don't do anything for him unless he helps out.

Whats the difference between main beam and full beam? driving test coming up?
i need to know the difference between main beam and full beam headlights as theres a question i could be asked on my driving test. %26quot;Show me how you switch your headlight from dipped to main beam and explain how you would know the main beam is on whilst inside the car?%26quot; Answer given on sheet %26quot;operate switch, check main beam warning light%26quot; My instructo says this means put your lights on dipped beam and change the postioning of the headlight up and down on her car it goes 1 2 3 2 1 0 and comes up on the dash board that its on a certain setting. but my dad says it means put on dipped head lights and put on full beam and a blue symbol will come up warning you. im not sure which one it is as not all cars have what she is talking about on there system to come up telling you its at 1 2 or 3 etc... and the question applys to all cars. Please help as my test is very soon
Whats the difference between main beam and full beam? driving test coming up?
Listen to Dad.
Main beam, Full beam, High beam are all referring to more light focused farther in front of your car. And the universal color for this on the dash display is blue. Problem is you can't always drive around with your high beams on because you'll blind oncoming drivers. The purpose of this question is to make sure you know how to identify and operate your high beams. The first time you experience someone driving towards you at night with their high beams on you'll know how dangerous and annoying it is!
P.S. Dad's love sons that study!!!
Whats the difference between main beam and full beam? driving test coming up?
it sounds like your talking about high beam and low beam. you use high beam when no one is approaching you or so you can see ahead of you at a long distance and low beam you use them like in foggy weather and when you following someone or oncoming traffic. low beam hit down closer to the road so you won,t blind someone and they will cut the fog.
Main beam, full beam and high beam are all the same thing.
To avoid confusion, just call it main beam, the same as the test.
I don't know what drugs your driving instructor is on, but there are no numbers to do with your headlights.
Your dad is correct. There is a little blue light that comes on (usually near the speedo) that tells you when your lights are on main beam.automatic stability control com and interop

What should I do?
Ok im 13 and look like a total dork. I have strwaberry blonde hair and it is in layers, the longest goes a bit below my shoulders. My eyes are blue but seem to change colors in the light. I guess my head is heart shaped and i dont know what else to say.
What should I do for makeup and how should i fix my hair. I finaly got desprate please help! If it helps i can email a pic to you.
What should I do?
Hmm. I think you should get some light blonde highlights. My friend who has strawberry blonde hair just got some and they look really nice and natural. Get them done not too thin though. Try changing you part or get side bangs. Side bangs are really hot right now. For makeup. Try a nice pink cheek tint some black/brown mascara and some lipgloss/balm.
What should I do?
actually u dont need make up.
u r already pretty..
girl please! just be yourself! you sound pretty to me! all i got to say is don't wear too much make-up or you'll look fake! OR be a NATURAL BEAUTY! You're only 13 and many people don't care about looks. Don't try to be an adult so quick! Relax and enjoy being 13 and natural!
hmm go all natural since you're 13. Apply some mascara, that will make a really big difference, your eyes will look nicer. I don't know about eyeshadow though... if you're going to apply eyeshadow go for natural colours and shimmery ones look nice in the evening. Apply some blusher and some lip gloss.
I don't know about your hair though sorry.
I'm sure you don't look like a dork. If you are 13, then don't use much makeup because you want it to look natural. Use warm shades of eyeshadow and blush and a soft color for your lips...just don't overdo it. You could just go online and look up different hairstyles that you could try out in front of your mirror. Maybe you'll find one you love! Oh, and PLEASE don't send your picture to strangers! : )
i don't think that looks dorky don't care what people say if they say something to hurt you over your appearance think of how bad they must feel. They pic on people who feel insecure about your looks so don't be volnabre. If that doesn't work create a mental picture of them in pain or what bad things can happen to them.(I'm not referring to makeup because some makeup is little toxic)
OK, first off, you are only thirteen so don't sweat it too much, the boys your age will like you for you, and anyone older you should just stay away from. You say you look like a total dork, why? your hair cut and eyes and face shape sound like you are beautiful. Maybe you should look at what you are wearing to fend off the dork feelings. Relax and have fun...that is the only way that you will not be a dork.
I would say first of all relax your body is changing and tomorrow you could look totally different, anyway most thirteen year olds think they look like a dork I doubt you do so cheer up. I would say that you should pick out some light eyeshadows with a little glitter in them, use clear masscara, and try to pick out a light colored lip gloss with some glitter in it. For your hair not sure how you like to wear it but I would get some cool headbands for days that you want it down and some claw clips for day that you want it up. If you want you can email me a picture and I will look at it and give you some more ideas. Hope this helps Good Luck!
well you can try straightening it and putting some highlights, well if you have a fair complexion you can use a medium to light foundation, use a light blush like light brown and brush it right under your cheek bone so you get a contour look, use a gold eyeshadow and black eyeliner and since your thirteen you can just use a clear lip gloss. good luck i hope you look fabulous
HAY KIDDO, GOD didn't make any dorks,, Most of us are never happy with the way we are, My lord I wish I was 13 again ,DON'T grow up to fast, Be a kid as long as you can, Life will come at you fast enough, ,Enjoy being young,,You just keep looking in the mirror you will get petty-er every day you'll see,, You will get older you'll be a fox DON'T DOWN YOUR SELF Good luck

What do you do when your mind races?
I have PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, and a bunch of other mental problems. Right now I face the problem of my mind is racing at a 1000 miles an hour and I can't control what I am thinking or how long a thought lasts. One minute I can think of something I want to do, and then in the middle of the thought I am worried that I have to change the light bulb, then its what light bulb, then it is something else. It seems likes hundreds of partial thoughts in a second. My Pshrink tells me that it is part of my mental problems and there is no magic drug that helps with this disorder. He recommends that I try to read (I can't), watch TV or a Movie (I can't hold attention that long), try to sleep (I do not sleep) or just do some household task (I have no ambtion or ability to carry out a task, my head racings cause my hands to shake). Just writing this question took me 14 minutes. Any ideas?
What do you do when your mind races?
Dearest Bill, I have been through these moments of mind racing and jumping from activity to activity--and being so wired after a night out or teaching. What works for me is to slow down and choose what I really want to do in the moment, then do it. Not easy, I know. It takes a lot of practice, and sometimes I still go back to hyperactive %26quot;multi-tasking.%26quot; It takes time and effort--and scheduling my time and activities. So that if, for ex., I start going into a cleaning frenzy when I should be grading papers, I can gently remind myself that serious housework and deep cleaning is scheduled for Friday or Sunday. I'm ab. 90 percent there now.
Another thing that helps is for me to sit still, focus on my breath, and let all my thoughts flow, not attaching to any of them and not judging them. This is a form of meditation that works for me when my thoughts are racing, like on the train when there is just too much going on and too many people literally jockeying for position, etc..
Listening to music also helps me--whether sitting still and listening, dancing, or singing. Writing also helps. I'm wondering if you have a favorite hobby or creative activity that you can enjoy, which will help you to focus and calm down, to slip nicely into the zone.
The thing that strikes me tonight as I read and respond to your question is that it might be time for you to see another doctor, to get a second opinion or explore some other options. Sounds like your doctor is great but is likely out of ideas. I'm not against medication, but ten different meds? I don't know, Bill...I don't know.
Deep down you know what you must do, which is why I am suggesting the above meditation practice. Unlike the stereotypical images they show of meditation on tv and in film, there is more to meditation than zoning out and chanting %26quot;ohm.%26quot; Meditation is not a substitute for psychiatric care or therapy, but it is a great complement. It's about getting still and releasing the anxious thoughts so that the real thoughts, the real wisdom, can break through. Very healing. This is also an excellent state of mind for prayer--not the typical kind of prayer where we give God our to-do list, but rather a deep conversation with God in which you share your thoughts all the way through and then listen. Really listen. Within. Then you will be aware when new solutions come. There is always an anwer.
Welcome back, Bill. Missed you. Hope this helps.

What do you do when your mind races?
Though I would not be able to fully answer your question, but I would say that your doctor (psychiatrist) would be in a better position to assist in this regards. Have a nice day.
I understand what you are describing. You are asking for coping skills, and your psychiatrist has little to offer in that area. He will prescribe meds, but you still need behavioral techniques to use when the meds are ineffective. You might want to see a psychologist - a cognitive behaviorist. Or, if you tell your shrink you want cognitive behavioral therapy he may be able to do that for you... depends on the doctor.
Anyway - here is what I do when my thoughts race uncontrollably like that - any mindless, repetitive task around the house, like folding laundry, sweeping floors, etc. I also like to go for a walk in the woods. I find nature to have a calming effect on my mind.
Writing in a journal sometimes helps too...it provides an outlet for the racing thoughts - it does not have to make sense, it is just %26quot;emptying the trash.%26quot; I don't even go back to read it...I usually burn it .
Hope this helps.
Dear Bill,
I'm sure with %26quot;PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, and a bunch of other mental problems%26quot; you must already be on some heavy-duty prescription medication (e.g. Lithium, etc.). Besides, I'm NOT a psychiatrist, hence NOT really qualified to give you advice on any miraculous remedy/drug that might take the mind races and the associated anxiety away. I’m sure if your attending physician felt that there was a magic pill that would further offer you some comfort without negative side effects and/or interaction with your other medication, he would have prescribed it already. Of course, if you suspect that he has dropped the ball in this case, you can always seek a second opinion - in fact, sometimes it's highly recommended. My personal hunch is that you are already taking too many medications as it is, some of which might even be contributing to your racing mind symptoms - dose adjustment, for example, as I'm sure you realize, is a non-trivial issue in managing chronic mental illness.
Anyway, having said all that, and as a natural complement to your ongoing drug therapy, I have the following suggestion that might be worth a try [given you have a clean bill of “physical health” and are able to put it into practice]: Why not try to “burn off” the “extra racing thoughts” by going for brisk walks or doing some aerobic exercises every time you feel overwhelmed? Having a loving pet around sometimes serves as a great source of distratcion as well. Still, as you know, there is an underlying organic component of “the racing mind” that you have no control over due to the mental illness. That said, many of your symptoms and your overall anxiety levels maybe greatly reduced/alleviated through appropriate “mindset/behavioral” modifications. If you could actively try and train your mind/yourself on a daily basis to: 1) not be a perfectionist, concerned with every little detail/incident in your life, and 2) only tackle issues that you have immediate control over, while consciously avoiding/discarding the anxiety producing ones that you don’t, you’ll be helping yourself tremendously.
Another important consideration is sticking to a healthy diet with plenty of fruits [Nature’s feel-good foods], vegetables %26amp; other complex carbohydrates and avoiding, milk [pure poison as far as I’m concerned], dairy products, gluten, and red meat, as much as possible. Good luck and I wish you much health, happiness, and prosperity, my friend.

your doctor is a tool. There are meds that help that. I know because I'm on a couple. Are you seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist? A psychiatrist should know what's available to help you and if he doesn't you need to find someone else. I'm a mental wreck without my meds, but with them I can think far more clearly because it's slowed down.
Oh, and to specifically answer the question. I journal like mad to try to catch everything that's flying through my head. At times it's all that can hold my attention.
I feel I understand a little about the %26quot;mind racing%26quot; problems you are having, as I have also experienced them. Though I don't have the listed tags your shrink has labelled, the %26quot;mind racing%26quot; always seems worst when I need to sleep, so now I don't try to sleep but attempt to read %26quot;The People's Friend%26quot; which is an English/Scottish magazine...it's actually boring. It seems to do the trick for me. I think that an overactive mind linked to an underactive body equals STRESS, so maybe go for a good walk or run (borrow a neighbours dog) to see if that helps. At least it shouldn't make you feel any worse. Maybe a pet would help you, someone to look after. I wish you well. Good Luck!
my boyfriend has Bipolar Disorder, so i know where you're coming from. Are you creative? when he is feeling particularly manic, he turns to his creative side. he writes, practices with his band, etc. i would suggest maybe going for a long, peaceful walk. this could help you %26quot;wind down%26quot;.
i totally understand - what meds did ur dr put u on. I had the same problem and a low dose of lamictal helped. While yes there is no magic drug to cure all - the rite med combination can definetly help slow down ur thoughts so u can succeed with ur therapy. Time for a new Dr.
Sound like you got it bad i was just wondering if music don't help im also similar to you i have depression and im also paro and scared and my mind never stop racing what i find helps is to watch some old english comedy i know you can't concentrate but you don't have to but the good thing is the people in the movie are all bonkers aswell.
What do you do when your mind races?
Dearest Bill, I have been through these moments of mind racing and jumping from activity to activity--and being so wired after a night out or teaching. What works for me is to slow down and choose what I really want to do in the moment, then do it. Not easy, I know. It takes a lot of practice, and sometimes I still go back to hyperactive %26quot;multi-tasking.%26quot; It takes time and effort--and scheduling my time and activities. So that if, for ex., I start going into a cleaning frenzy when I should be grading papers, I can gently remind myself that serious housework and deep cleaning is scheduled for Friday or Sunday. I'm ab. 90 percent there now.

聯Now you鈥檝e done it!聰 the red head yelled at the blonde. 聯Go buy him another one just like that, here鈥檚 some money.聰 The redhead went into her piggy bank and gave the blonde $50. 聯
Okay,聰 said the blonde, 聯but it鈥檚 going to hard to find a parrot with only one wing.聰

Doctor: Then what happened?
Blonde: Well that's the weird thing. In every single dream, the same thing happened. I always come to this door, but I can't open it. I keep pushing the door and pushing the door, but it wouldn't budge!

Doctor: And what did these letter spell?鈥˙londe: It said %26quot;Pull%26quot;

Did you hear Rush today?
Weather Has Always Happened,
But Now It%26#039;s Political and It%26#039;s on the News
May 10, 2007
Listen To It! WMP | RealPlayer
Audio clips available for Rush 24/7 members only -- Join Now!
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Yesterday I actually opened the program by asking if anybody had seen Algore or Laurie David conducting a press conference on the first subtropical storm out there, subtropical storm Andrea Mitchell -- which, by the way, have you seen the latest forecast track? They%26#039;ve got it doing circles. It%26#039;s going to come close to making landfall a little south of Jacksonville. Now it%26#039;s not going to make landfall and it%26#039;s going to turn back out to sea. You watch. The thing is going to head our way before it%26#039;s all said and done. You just watch. Regardless, I was prescient once again. Laurie David shows up on PMSNBC this morning. Joe Scarborough is taking his shot at the morning show and Scarborough asking her about the Malibu fires, California fires, and she launched.
DAVID: I mean, do you believe what%26#039;s going on in this country weatherwise? I mean, are you guys talking about this? I mean, honestly, let me just ask you this here, okay? When you were growing up, do you remember that %26quot;severe weather%26quot; was a regular category every night on the evening news? Do you remember that?
RUSH: No. The reason was there was no political agenda behind the weather when we were growing up, Laurie. Now there%26#039;s a political agenda driving the weather. It%26#039;s called global warming. There are no such things as %26quot;weather phenomenon.%26quot; It%26#039;s a sorry thing that happened in Greensburg, Kansas, but tornadoes happen. They%26#039;ve been happening long before we were born, Laurie, before we were kids, and so do hurricanes and they%26#039;ve been happening. There%26#039;s nothing that happens in weather that%26#039;s unique. Nothing that happens in weather that is unprecedented. It%26#039;s not possible. This planet has been around too long! How many billions and billions and billions of years have the planet been around? All of a sudden for us, during our lifetimes, all of a sudden things are happening that have never happened before? Oh, my God, and we%26#039;re the ones responsible! Oh, my God. We%26#039;re ruining the planet. Oh, no. Really? Oh, my God, we gotta do something! We need higher taxes. One square of toilet paper per bathroom visit. Why, we%26#039;ve got to change our light bulbs.
It%26#039;s absurd. It%26#039;s patently absurd.
I%26#039;m going to read something to you from our local paper here, the Palm Beach Post. This is about Tropical Storm Andrea Mitchell out there. I want to read the first couple of lines, and see if anything reaches out and grabs you. %26quot;Three weeks before hurricane guides appear in local grocery stores, subtropical storm Andrea [Mitchell] swirled off the north Florida coast Wednesday, a reminder that Mother Nature is in charge here. The first named May storm in more than a quarter century, Andrea [Mitchell], isn%26#039;t expected to strengthen much beyond its current 45-mile-per-hour winds and may not even strike land.%26quot; What stands out at you in that sentence? Dawn, what stands out? No. See, this is how they do it. Dawn%26#039;s reaction: %26quot;It%26#039;s not going to strike land.%26quot; No, what stands out is this: %26quot;The first named May storm in more than a quarter century.%26quot; That means that 25 years ago there was one in May. There was a named storm prior to the June 1st hurricane season, 25 years ago. Twenty-five years ago they were warning us of global cooling, a new ice age. So, yeah, we got this thing out there, and the Laurie Davids of the world hype all over this and claim it%26#039;s a result of global warming -- and, of course, man%26#039;s decadent lifestyle. But there%26#039;s nothing happening today in weather that has not happened before countless, countless other times.
More audio sound bites. Katie Couric, by the way, let me tell you what happened on this. Yesterday I also opened the show and I offered -- because when I saw that the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric%26#039;s ratings are the lowest they%26#039;ve been since 1987, 20 years, I offered -- myself as exclusive interview subject to Katie and the CBS Evening News. I%26#039;d do a live interview, in order to jack the ratings, because I%26#039;m Rush Limbaugh: I am ratings. I offered to help. CBS did call. 60 Minutes called. My old buddy from 60 Minutes who produced the first segment, the only one, the first one they did of me way back in the early %26#039;90s, Bob Andersen, called and he said, %26quot;We%26#039;ll be happy to have Katie interview you for 60 Minutes and then run excerpts of that interview on the evening news.%26quot;
We smiled. %26quot;Nice try, Bob. You%26#039;re a smart guy, but, no, the deal was I offer myself to Katie for the evening news: one shot, live interview,%26quot; knowing full-well it will never happen, ladies and gentlemen, for a host of reasons, but among the reasons at the top is: Can you imagine if a live interview with me actually did jack the ratings? What would that say? We know that it would. We would make sure that it did, because I am Rush Limbaugh. I am ratings. Anyway, we have a sound bite from Katie on her CBS Evening News last night about all this %26quot;extreme weather.%26quot;
COURIC: Already this month federal disasters have been declared in six states. By the way, don%26#039;t think nature has spared the rest of the world. Australia is dealing with its worst drought ever. Italy is also suffering through a drought. Meanwhile, usually dry parts of northern Africa have been hit with deadly rainstorms. And it seems almost biblical that 2007 is the Year of the Locust.
RUSH: Wait, it%26#039;s a newscast. How does that get thrown in? And it seems almost biblical? By the way, Katie, your audience doesn%26#039;t want to hear references to the Bible. Big no, no, don%26#039;t know who put that on the prompter. But somebody should have gotten it off of there. Now we have a montage from MSNBC%26#039;s Amy Robach, ABC鈥檚 Sam Champion, NBC鈥檚 Dawn Fratangelo and Matt Lauer on subtropical storm Andrea Mitchell.
ROBACH: We have a named storm three weeks before the season is even supposed to start.
CHAMPION: Tropical Storm Andrea is three weeks ahead of the hurricane season.
FRATANGELO: She%26#039;s called Andrea, arriving a full three weeks before the official start of hurricane season.
LAUER: The first named store is hovering offshore weeks before it should be there. Andrea only the 17th named storm in history to arrive before June 1st.
RUSH: Only the 17th? Only the 17th? Only the 17th? Why, that means there have been 16 named storms before the start of hurricane season before Andrea Mitchell. Well, that indicates some sign of tumult and chaos in the natural order of things out there. Only the 17th time in history. Now, not in history, in recorded history, because until we came along, the earth didn%26#039;t know that June 1st was the start of hurricane season. You think Mother Nature knew that June 1st was -- do you think that Mother Nature even knows when it%26#039;s June? We call it June and we say hurricane season starts on June 1st. Look at Palm Beach. We%26#039;ve got turtle season starting on March 1st. They don%26#039;t show up until May 1st. You think the turtles know they%26#039;re supposed to be here in March because we%26#039;ve got a town council making an ordinance saying we gotta turn out the lights? I have an Abyssinian cat. Do you think my cat knows it%26#039;s an Abyssinian cat? In fact, do you think my cat even knows it%26#039;s a cat? I guarantee you my cat thinks it%26#039;s a person. Cats have staff. Dogs have masters. We invent all these terms, so the idea that there have been 17 named storms before hurricane season -- did we get hurricane season in the 10 Commandments? Is there some proclamation from some higher power that says June 1st, anything that happens before that, something is wrong. Grow up, folks.

RUSH: This is Rick in Malibu. Nice to have you, sir, and welcome to the EIB Network.
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Thanks for having me on. I had to call because I started giggling a little bit about all this global warming hysteria. When you played that clip earlier of Laurie David connecting the Los Angeles wildfires, the one in Griffith Park to global warming, when the conventional wisdom and the current theory out here is that the fire was started when a man with a lit cigarette fell asleep in the park. That%26#039;s what the news is out here. So unless global warming caused that man to fall asleep, I don%26#039;t really see the connection, do you?
RUSH: No, no, no, no. That%26#039;s not what they%26#039;ll say. It might have been a cigarette. It might have been a bum or anybody else throwing a cigarette, but if it weren%26#039;t for global warming causing less rainfall than normal, the Griffith Park wouldn%26#039;t have gone up in flames the way it did! That%26#039;s what they%26#039;ll say. They%26#039;ve got this down pat. But all they%26#039;re doing is playing on the fact that, okay, we%26#039;ve got fires in Georgia. In fact, I have to tell you. We had fires in Florida here. It%26#039;s bad. Alligator Alley, which connects Fort Lauderdale to Naples, has been shut down, parts of it have been. I told you yesterday that I walked outside and the sky is totally gray, looks overcast, but there%26#039;s not a cloud nearby. It%26#039;s the smoke from all the fires. You can smell it a little bit out there. The kids are out playing in the schoolyard, being highly irresponsible. (I%26#039;m joking about this.) It%26#039;s as though all these kind of fires -- you heard Katie Couric -- biblical proportions, 2007, the Year of the Locust! It%26#039;s preposterous. All of this is preposterous. Global warming is responsible for all the fires!
When did we start naming hurricanes? I happen to know. Do any of you know when we started naming hurricanes? It was 1951, which happens to be the year that I was born. 1951. What were hurricanes before that? What did we call them? By the way, how do we know this is only the 17th storm to precede hurricane season because we%26#039;re only able to see these things around the world with satellites, and how long have we had satellites? Not much before 1951. How do we even know? All of this is just... I don%26#039;t know how to describe it, but it really frightens me for the overall intelligence of the people of this country. I%26#039;m starting to agree with those of you that have called me and said we%26#039;ve got way too many idiots in this country. You can see them easily by how many of them just suck up all the BS from the left.

RUSH: Welcome back. Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God. Johnny in El Paso. Thanks for calling and welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Thanks for taking my call. That guy in Griffith Park that burned down the park? If the smoking Nazis had allowed that guy to smoke indoors instead of outdoors, he probably would have just burned his cigarette out in an ashtray. You know, in New Mexico when they had the peak of the forest fire season, it was against the law to smoke outside. You would get a ticket for smoking outdoors.
RUSH: You can%26#039;t smoke inside anymore. I don%26#039;t know who started this fire out in Griffith Park. The caller said it was a bum. If it was a bum that means the bum didn%26#039;t have an indoors to go to. But it is an interesting thought. If the bum had been indoors somewhere and threw the cigarette down, it would just be one house that went up instead of a whole park. Outdoors... I don%26#039;t want to call the guy a bum because it would be an unfair characterization. He was an outdoorsman, out there trying to enjoy life, had a little cigarette, flipped it off and bam! We%26#039;ve got a fire. It is an interesting thing: the unintended consequences of all this liberal do-gooderism.

What a great Best answer! Is the asker, %26quot;GREAT_AMERICAN%26quot; an intern at Rush%26#039;s show? Or is it Rush%26#039;s drug dealer?
No
People listen to a drugged out windbag? I don%26#039;t. No news there.
No, and i didn%26#039;t drink Drano either...
Rush is the antichrist, Air America is the beast. Listen to free Talk Live.
Yes.
As usual, Rush points out the Lies of the Hypocrite Liberals.
No. Listening to rush is equivalent to putting my ear over the garbage disposal every time I cut it on. All you hear is garbage spinning.
i read the part about the weather, and he%26#039;s right.
yeah, i was listening, and know world%26#039;s ebbs and flows have always been around, but the news has not....too much %26quot;look at me! See what I can do!%26quot; reminds me of the %26quot;run, Spot, run%26quot; when i was younger....
the amazing T V and it%26#039;s fascinating jargon...
know wonder i got rid of cable....
Why would anyone listen to that drug addicted felon?
He%26#039;s doing the same thing he%26#039;s accusing others of doing-- politicizing weather patterns. Typical hypocitical wind-bag.
Haha. PMSNBC...
wow.. .thanks... reading that reminded me of just why I never listen to him...
%26quot;I am Rush Limbaugh. I am ratings%26quot;
is that why he doesn%26#039;t have a tv show anymore?
As usual old, Rush to judgement, Limpbra is full of sh!t.
So the Storm that threw the SS Minow off course, and caused the crew of Gilligan%26#039;s Island to be stranded on a Desert Isle, wasn%26#039;t Global Warming or a subversive plot by Bush to sacrifice America for Oil Companies, The Rich and Haliburton?
Gosh if I listen to the news, I would have assumed that it was all Bush%26#039;s fault along with Athlete%26#039;s Foot, Bad Breath, and a bad case of gas. No not Bush, Global Warming. Heck I still have my Thermal Underwear, from when George McGovern (Dem.) ran for President in 1972, and warned of Global Cooling! Think if I send my Long Johns to ALGORE, he would give me my money back or refund me with some sun screen, a beach towel and some Terrorist Repelant? Oops, bad for the Ozone Layer. Which he now says is repairing itself.
Nah...I%26#039;ll keep the Long Johns, and wait for the next Ice Age, which by my Democratic watch should be around 2032...

RUSH: Yesterday I actually opened the program by asking if anybody had seen Algore or Laurie David conducting a press conference on the first subtropical storm out there, subtropical storm Andrea Mitchell -- which, by the way, have you seen the latest forecast track? They%26#039;ve got it doing circles. It%26#039;s going to come close to making landfall a little south of Jacksonville. Now it%26#039;s not going to make landfall and it%26#039;s going to turn back out to sea. You watch. The thing is going to head our way before it%26#039;s all said and done. You just watch. Regardless, I was prescient once again. Laurie David shows up on PMSNBC this morning. Joe Scarborough is taking his shot at the morning show and Scarborough asking her about the Malibu fires, California fires, and she launched.
DAVID: I mean, do you believe what%26#039;s going on in this country weatherwise? I mean, are you guys talking about this? I mean, honestly, let me just ask you this here, okay? When you were growing up, do you remember that %26quot;severe weather%26quot; was a regular category every night on the evening news? Do you remember that?
RUSH: No. The reason was there was no political agenda behind the weather when we were growing up, Laurie. Now there%26#039;s a political agenda driving the weather. It%26#039;s called global warming. There are no such things as %26quot;weather phenomenon.%26quot; It%26#039;s a sorry thing that happened in Greensburg, Kansas, but tornadoes happen. They%26#039;ve been happening long before we were born, Laurie, before we were kids, and so do hurricanes and they%26#039;ve been happening. There%26#039;s nothing that happens in weather that%26#039;s unique. Nothing that happens in weather that is unprecedented. It%26#039;s not possible. This planet has been around too long! How many billions and billions and billions of years have the planet been around? All of a sudden for us, during our lifetimes, all of a sudden things are happening that have never happened before? Oh, my God, and we%26#039;re the ones responsible! Oh, my God. We%26#039;re ruining the planet. Oh, no. Really? Oh, my God, we gotta do something! We need higher taxes. One square of toilet paper per bathroom visit. Why, we%26#039;ve got to change our light bulbs.
It%26#039;s absurd. It%26#039;s patently absurd.
I%26#039;m going to read something to you from our local paper here, the Palm Beach Post. This is about Tropical Storm Andrea Mitchell out there. I want to read the first couple of lines, and see if anything reaches out and grabs you. %26quot;Three weeks before hurricane guides appear in local grocery stores, subtropical storm Andrea [Mitchell] swirled off the north Florida coast Wednesday, a reminder that Mother Nature is in charge here. The first named May storm in more than a quarter century, Andrea [Mitchell], isn%26#039;t expected to strengthen much beyond its current 45-mile-per-hour winds and may not even strike land.%26quot; What stands out at you in that sentence? Dawn, what stands out? No. See, this is how they do it. Dawn%26#039;s reaction: %26quot;It%26#039;s not going to strike land.%26quot; No, what stands out is this: %26quot;The first named May storm in more than a quarter century.%26quot; That means that 25 years ago there was one in May. There was a named storm prior to the June 1st hurricane season, 25 years ago. Twenty-five years ago they were warning us of global cooling, a new ice age. So, yeah, we got this thing out there, and the Laurie Davids of the world hype all over this and claim it%26#039;s a result of global warming -- and, of course, man%26#039;s decadent lifestyle. But there%26#039;s nothing happening today in weather that has not happened before countless, countless other times.
More audio sound bites. Katie Couric, by the way, let me tell you what happened on this. Yesterday I also opened the show and I offered -- because when I saw that the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric%26#039;s ratings are the lowest they%26#039;ve been since 1987, 20 years, I offered -- myself as exclusive interview subject to Katie and the CBS Evening News. I%26#039;d do a live interview, in order to jack the ratings, because I%26#039;m Rush Limbaugh: I am ratings. I offered to help. CBS did call. 60 Minutes called. My old buddy from 60 Minutes who produced the first segment, the only one, the first one they did of me way back in the early %26#039;90s, Bob Andersen, called and he said, %26quot;We%26#039;ll be happy to have Katie interview you for 60 Minutes and then run excerpts of that interview on the evening news.%26quot;
We smiled. %26quot;Nice try, Bob. You%26#039;re a smart guy, but, no, the deal was I offer myself to Katie for the evening news: one shot, live interview,%26quot; knowing full-well it will never happen, ladies and gentlemen, for a host of reasons, but among the reasons at the top is: Can you imagine if a live interview with me actually did jack the ratings? What would that say? We know that it would. We would make sure that it did, because I am Rush Limbaugh. I am ratings. Anyway, we have a sound bite from Katie on her CBS Evening News last night about all this %26quot;extreme weather.%26quot;
COURIC: Already this month federal disasters have been declared in six states. By the way, don%26#039;t think nature has spared the rest of the world. Australia is dealing with its worst drought ever. Italy is also suffering through a drought. Meanwhile, usually dry parts of northern Africa have been hit with deadly rainstorms. And it seems almost biblical that 2007 is the Year of the Locust.
RUSH: Wait, it%26#039;s a newscast. How does that get thrown in? And it seems almost biblical? By the way, Katie, your audience doesn%26#039;t want to hear references to the Bible. Big no, no, don%26#039;t know who put that on the prompter. But somebody should have gotten it off of there. Now we have a montage from MSNBC%26#039;s Amy Robach, ABC鈥檚 Sam Champion, NBC鈥檚 Dawn Fratangelo and Matt Lauer on subtropical storm Andrea Mitchell.
ROBACH: We have a named storm three weeks before the season is even supposed to start.
CHAMPION: Tropical Storm Andrea is three weeks ahead of the hurricane season.
FRATANGELO: She%26#039;s called Andrea, arriving a full three weeks before the official start of hurricane season.
LAUER: The first named store is hovering offshore weeks before it should be there. Andrea only the 17th named storm in history to arrive before June 1st.
RUSH: Only the 17th? Only the 17th? Only the 17th? Why, that means there have been 16 named storms before the start of hurricane season before Andrea Mitchell. Well, that indicates some sign of tumult and chaos in the natural order of things out there. Only the 17th time in history. Now, not in history, in recorded history, because until we came along, the earth didn%26#039;t know that June 1st was the start of hurricane season. You think Mother Nature knew that June 1st was -- do you think that Mother Nature even knows when it%26#039;s June? We call it June and we say hurricane season starts on June 1st. Look at Palm Beach. We%26#039;ve got turtle season starting on March 1st. They don%26#039;t show up until May 1st. You think the turtles know they%26#039;re supposed to be here in March because we%26#039;ve got a town council making an ordinance saying we gotta turn out the lights? I have an Abyssinian cat. Do you think my cat knows it%26#039;s an Abyssinian cat? In fact, do you think my cat even knows it%26#039;s a cat? I guarantee you my cat thinks it%26#039;s a person. Cats have staff. Dogs have masters. We invent all these terms, so the idea that there have been 17 named storms before hurricane season -- did we get hurricane season in the 10 Commandments? Is there some proclamation from some higher power that says June 1st, anything that happens before that, something is wrong. Grow up, folks.

Some were corny and some were good my fave is the St. Peter's Joke andy walks with me... I have one for you:-
Shirley %26amp; Marcy
A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it.
She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the
mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.
She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.
The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As t he two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.
Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week?
Do you know her?' Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?' 'That's just Shirley Goodnest,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'
'Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?'
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'
May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.

Some were corny and some were good my fave is the St. Peter's Joke andy walks with me... I have one for you:-
Shirley %26amp; Marcy
A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it.
She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the
mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.
She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.
The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As t he two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.
Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week?
Do you know her?' Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?' 'That's just Shirley Goodnest,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'
'Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?'
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'
May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.
I honestly saw a ghost, and need answers... and please no freaking jokes?
I was going for a drink with my friends at night around 9pm. I was walking towards this intersaction, and as i stoped at the crossroad till the light changes to green, a car stoped side of me, and I looked at the person who was at the driver's seat for a sec and for sec I was scared because she was staring at me. I'd like to let you all know first of all, I am a sane male who never experienced this kind of thing in my life. never had problems with mental problems and am a typical college guy.
So as i turned my head side ways to see who was in the car, there was a dark haired woman, staring at me and smiling really intensly. I mean really really intensly.
I was frozen like a solid ice when i saw her lips that moved sideways so big that i instantly knew that she wasn't a human being. It was very red car. she looked as typical gypsie woman looking with really really dark hair with white cloth on. I looked at her frozen for about 5 seconds as she was looking at me... and i was scared to death. I was walking alone to the subway station to meet my friends, and I couldn't have even sip of alchohol because I was that shocked, friends asked me what happened, and I thought i faked everything was all right since I wasn't too sure at that point what happened. and I honetly honetly can tell you this... she wasn't a human being. her lips were touching her own years, that's how much her lips were moving sideways. and I do not believe in any religion.
I was scared... and I am still scared, I never was this scared in my life... what the **** was that... who was she, and why did that happen to me. why is that demon looking girl i could only see on finctional movie appear to me. and I swear this is no joke. and i can still draw her face. it was that intense. I do not do any drugs as people were accusing me of a drugaddict which i am not. I never ever had this
kind of experience with my self. ask me more questions if you want to.
I honestly saw a ghost, and need answers... and please no freaking jokes?
It was probably someone wearing make-up or Woochie prosthetics driving around and sinisterly smiling at people to scare or freak them out. A typical, but clever prankster.

it could be a ghost. but you were drinking which rules out any reliability. sorry.
Likelyhood:
You saw a Ghost: 5%
Your on Acid: 95%
Ghosts wont hurt you. It probably doesnt mean anything. Unless your the ghost wisperer.
sometimes our dimension and the spirit world will cross at a point. If what you saw was a ghost then the chances of you seeing her again are slim :)
Yea i agree with stout also how dark was it... because in the right light people can look a certain way that they really aren't. Then again it could be a ghost, but i don't believe in them because there hasn't be one shred of evidence ever from anywhere (that i know of) so therefore until proof of them actually surfaces then i'll keep not believing in them or until i see one for myself. Then again one night i was looking into my reflective computer screen and saw a woman in a shaul (however you spell it) and she was moving closer and i turned around and nothing was there i was scared, but i quickly got over it... so i guess they could or could not be real.
i think she was a lych, they suck life and energy away from normal people. She probley sucked a few months away, and for a good reason. they can live of food like we can, because they are people involved with witchcraft and are half-dead.
You saw a woman with atrocious plastic surgery. (Smile touching her %26quot;years%26quot;? Do you mean ears?) Anyway women who have a lot of p.s. don't look human any more just google Jocelyn Wildenstein. A ghost would be see through and would not drive. Sorry that was not it. You should have taken the licence!
There is an answer in science too. What you saw may have been what magicians call Pepper's Ghost. This is a mere reflection of someone or something nearby. There may have been a woman in your vicinity who was looking at you. She was reflected by the window glass. As the glass in car windows is usually warped, she would appear warped too.
This warped effect would also count if there was an actual woman sitting in the car and she was looking at you, As she turned her head, her features would changed because of the warps in the glass. Also, as she moved away she would appear to become even more out of normal.
I can tell you from experience that this encounter was probably not a ghost. They really rarely seem that out of shape and usually appear pretty normal. It is quite possible for a person to meet a ghost and not be aware of the fact.
i have no idea what u saw but when i was a child i had a bad dream and went and got in bed with my mom and dad on the outside of the bed i had my back to my dad and was trying to go to sleep but could not i opened my eyes and saw what looked like my dad on the floor on his hands and knees he was just inches away from me with a big smile liked u said from ear to ear i screamed so loud my dad jump up out of bed and thought i was hurt but the thing was still on the floor and my dad was holding me i couldnt breath and was turning blue and i couldnt breath til that thing went away and it just faded out. that was more than 30 years ago and i still remember it like it was yesterday.
Do the research, actually read the information and decide for yourself what it was. Why does everyone fear this stuff? Its your fear that is used to degrade you dont you know? Ghosts for the most part are usually helpful.

What can I do to get rid of how blonde it is??
Lat night I used a highlight kit on my hair and O MY GOSH!!!! The hole top of my head is BLONDE real blond!!!! I have to change it! Can I dye my hair tonight to get rid of it? Or what can I do to change it??? I have to fix this I have a hat on today at work. My hair is a light brown. Please can someone help me????
What can I do to get rid of how blonde it is??
I would go and talk to someone at the beauty store or a hair dresser. If you put more color on your hair you might make it worse and it might not all dye the same shade. I do know that some of the cheaper shampoos are pretty good at stripping color out of hair, but I would get professional advice if I were you.
What can I do to get rid of how blonde it is??
Do you mean just the top of your head is blonde and the bottom is still brown? I think you need to go to the salon for a fix before you ruin your hair!!
Immediatley after work go to a salon.I wouldn't try to do it yourself again because something worse could happen.

Do you like this one?
A man was sitting with a few beers watching T.V. When his wife came home she
opened the door to the house and said to her husband %26quot;Honey could please fix
this door, it's gonna fall off%26quot;. He replied %26quot;Do I look like I have Mitre10 on my
head%26quot; She said nothing. Later she asked him to fix the ladder so she could
change the light bulb and he said %26quot;Do I look like I have Handyman on my head?
Then she asked if he could wash the car and he said to her %26quot;Do I look like I
have Shell Service station on my head%26quot;? He became so mad he said, %26quot;I'm sick of
you, get out of my way - I'm going to the pub%26quot;. When he came home late that
night he noticed the door, light and car had all been fixed. %26quot;How did you do
that%26quot;? he asked his wife. She told him that when she had been sitting on the
doorstep crying when he left and a nice man asked if he could help her. She told
him what had happened and he said that all she had to do for payment was bake
him a cake or have sex with him. Her husband asked %26quot;What kind of cake did you
make%26quot; To which she replied %26quot;Do I look like I have Betty Crocker on my head%26quot;?
Do you like this one?
damn i like cake, and you don't have to hug it for 1/2 hr after

Can anyone give a beginning writer some constructive critisicm?
It was very quiet and dark in the streets as I walked home from my job on Saturday night. I lived in a small city and work every night until twelve.
The alley's were dark and the gas stations abandoned. No cars were on the street, everything was still.
I walked past the rundown grocery store I passed every night. The guy who worked the night shift sat at the counter, half asleep, knowing that no customers would come.
I decided to drop in and get myself a coke. I still had a while to walk before I got home.
The doorbell chimes made noise as I walked in. It was a small store with just a few things and one counter. The street outside was black and I could see the traffic light changing for no one, it's light the only thing making anything visible.
The highway ran overhead and the half-used apartments across the road were the only signs of life.
I shoved my hands into my pockets and started in search of the one caffeine-free diet coke they might have in the store.
I gave a nod to the cashier, Ralph, and he grunted in reply. I was the only customer that ever came in after nine, so Ralph and I had gotten acquainted seeing as how he was the only night person and worked from 8p.m. to 7a.m. everyday.
Just as I was reaching in to grab the diet coke I'd settled for I heard a noise. I jerked my head around and out of the corner of my eye I could see Ralph had done the same.
A beat up green Suburban drove past on the street. Ralph adn I shared an inquisitorial glance, nobody drove around or was out in our side of town past nine o' clock besides me. It just wasn't safe.
I knew that something was about to happen and so did Ralph. I grabbed the coke and walked up to the register.
%26quot;I'll call you,%26quot; I said. We all had an understanding in our neighborhood. If something happened, we called each other. You had to know what had happened.
%26quot;Thanks, man,%26quot; Ralph said. He wrang up my diet coke and then I walked out, with the dorrbell chimes sending and empty, hollow soun through ths store.
I wont post anymore now. Please keep in mind I'm a teenager but please be honest. Thanks!
I know it needs some work but do you think that if I cleaned it up a bit it would have a chance at getting published?
Thanks again!
Can anyone give a beginning writer some constructive critisicm?
Here are some observations:
You start a lot of sentences with %26quot;I%26quot;. This gets old. Try reading it aloud and it becomes more obvious.
Your verb tense changed with 'The ally's were dark...' (by the way it should be alleys, not alley's).
Always rethink a sentence that has the word 'very'. Maybe you picked the wrong adjective.(silent instead of very quiet).
Try to eliminate unnecessary information. A great exercise is counting the words, then trying to shorten the story to half as many. It makes you really think about what needs to be there, and what the value of each word is.
This is not the time to think about publishing. This is the time to enjoy the process of writing, editing, and polishing your work.
Can anyone give a beginning writer some constructive critisicm?
its alright, i HATE Saying this...but it does sound amutruish (SLIGHTLY) But that can easily be fixed by editing.
But atleast let the reader know if the person speaking is a man or woman? You dont describe enough for us to picture a scene properly
I am also a teenage writer.
Okay.
It was good. I usually start reading like the first sentence of these things and then get bored and go off of it, but for some reason I actually wanted to know what happened in this one. So for that reason, it was good. Also I like the fact that you didn't use Purple Prose (you didn't describe everything too much and make it sound stupid) because that is what a lot of people do (myself included) and it ruins the whole thing. Having said that, I think you should've described a bit more of the surroundings. For example, 'I heard a noise' I was waiting for you to describe what the noise was but you didn't and I was really confused about why you didn't.
Also, I can't really work out why, but the first paragraph is kind of confusing. It seems like you have jumped between tenses or something.
I hope I helped a little bit.
Like someone has already said, editing will help.
But don't edit until you have a completed novel.
And don't post on Y!A anymore. It'll distract you from actually writing the thing, and people might steal your ideas.
Work on the flow of your story: in editing. When your book is finished.
Why should being a teenager make any difference?
It might have a chance of getting published. If you don't edit until you're finished.
Add more detail. Right now, you're showing instead of telling.
In some cases you can't aviod it, but please try not to use the words, 'was, were and forms of felt and looked sounded.'
Use similes and metaphores.
I think you get the point. It needs work. But don't work on this scene until you finish your book. Everything will look horrible, and you won't finish. Trust me. I've gotten 3/4 through with seven full length novels, and I decided it was time to edit. What I saw made me want to puke, and I haven't touched the stories since.

It was very quiet and dark in the streets as I walked home from my job on Saturday night. I lived in a small city and work every night until twelve.
The alley's were dark and the gas stations abandoned. No cars were on the street, everything was still.
I walked past the rundown grocery store I passed every night. The guy who worked the night shift sat at the counter, half asleep, knowing that no customers would come.
I decided to drop in and get myself a coke. I still had a while to walk before I got home.
The doorbell chimes made noise as I walked in. It was a small store with just a few things and one counter. The street outside was black and I could see the traffic light changing for no one, it's light the only thing making anything visible.
The highway ran overhead and the half-used apartments across the road were the only signs of life.
I shoved my hands into my pockets and started in search of the one caffeine-free diet coke they might have in the store.
I gave a nod to the cashier, Ralph, and he grunted in reply. I was the only customer that ever came in after nine, so Ralph and I had gotten acquainted seeing as how he was the only night person and worked from 8p.m. to 7a.m. everyday.
Just as I was reaching in to grab the diet coke I'd settled for I heard a noise. I jerked my head around and out of the corner of my eye I could see Ralph had done the same.
A beat up green Suburban drove past on the street. Ralph adn I shared an inquisitorial glance, nobody drove around or was out in our side of town past nine o' clock besides me. It just wasn't safe.
I knew that something was about to happen and so did Ralph. I grabbed the coke and walked up to the register.
%26quot;I'll call you,%26quot; I said. We all had an understanding in our neighborhood. If something happened, we called each other. You had to know what had happened.
%26quot;Thanks, man,%26quot; Ralph said. He wrang up my diet coke and then I walked out, with the dorrbell chimes sending and empty, hollow soun through ths store.
I wont post anymore now. Please keep in mind I'm a teenager but please be honest. Thanks!

There's too much %26quot;I did this%26quot; and %26quot;I did that%26quot;. Try to vary your sentence structure a bit to make it more interesting for the readers. Also, you have a huge opportunity to add detail and description, but you sort of skirt over it to continue your story. When you're writing, you should have a sort of mental picture in your head, so let us know what it looks like. Describe what your character is seeing, but do it without adding too much detail for that can bore the readers.
Your grammar is good, thank goodness. I read a lot of stories on here that are full of absolutely NOTHING. No punctuation. Misuse of tense/perspective. And a million other things. It was a relief to read something by someone who had a basic grasp of the %26quot;Rules of Literature%26quot;. Despite this, your story needs some work.
Keep writing and good luck to you!how to set up wireless network family cell phone plan

Honesty doesn't need to come in the form of harsh words. You've said that you are a beginner, and that's absolutely fine. I would expect everyone on here to treat you as such. It's only when you start saying how awsum you are people start to be harsh, but you have presented your excerpt in a polite manner.
So anywho, let's start with something you will hear for the rest of your writing career. Show don't tell. It's the three words which makes authors shudder. It's the most important thing to do really. But it's so vague, you can never be certain which is the 'right' way to show. In a nut shell, structure your writing to show your reader what is happening, rather than simply telling them. For me, I relate what is going on to my character.
For example, if I wanted to say:
'As Mark knelt by her side, he noticed blood spill from the wound in her neck'
I would probably instead write:
'Mark pressed his hand against the wound on her neck, in a vain attempt to stop the bleeding. He felt warm blood gush over his hand, and felt a wrench in his stomach as he knew it was too late'.
Ok, maybe a bit over dramatic, but I hope you get the point. Let's look at your writing.
%26quot;The alley's were dark and the gas stations abandoned. No cars were on the street, everything was still.%26quot;
I would probably write this as:
%26quot;As I wandered along the road under the orange glare of street lamps, I cursed the aches in my legs after another long day. I was the last one on the street, ofcourse. At this time of night, the roads were silent%26quot;
hm... I seem to have made your character look miserable.. I have a habit of that O_o
Well anywho, show don't tell is something you will probably be practising a lot, these are some sites I found by the powers of google which seem fairly good:
http://users.wirefire.com/tritt/tip1.ht >
http://www.tarakharper.com/k_show.htm
http://www.dailywritingtips.com/show-don鈥?/a>
On to the things you have mastered though. For a beginner, I am fairly impressed by the fluidity of your writing. Your characters, to, seem relatable and realistic - which is fantastic. Also, you have very successfully created a dark feeling about your setting. You could build on this, by mentioning your characters emotion. How does their feelings change when they see the car?
So all on all, I've gone off on a rant, but I think you have a fair bit of potential. I'm a writer to, and though Im nothing brilliant, I like to help other writers with advice and what not.
Anywho, best wishes =)

Wow! You have a great writing style! You use a good amount of description and dialogue, and your vocabulary is pretty great. Good luck with finishing it!
Woah, that's really good.
I wanna read the rest now ;)
What's the general plot of it, I'm curious?
x
It's a great story. And your writing style is unique. There was a typo there that i noticed, but other than that it was good. Your lacking description, don't get me wrong, you did a great job with the surrounding area that the character was in, but the description of the other character and the main character that was telling the story is extremely lacking. I'm sure there is more to the story, but why was the main character just going home from work, what is the back story to that particular character? I apologize if that was too much.
Pretty good. I'd run it past one of your schools english %26amp; writing teachers if I was you to get better pointers. I liked the tone to it but if I was you I'd take more time describing the characters and environment like you did when your character first came in the store. I like it when lit. gets descriptive cause it helps me get a better mental image of what's happening.

How normal is it for a dogs coat to change almost completely?
Okay, when I got my dog 3 yeas ago as a puppy, she was black and white with a really light cream/tan colored head. Well as she progressed in life, the black faded and more tan grew around before her shoulder blades after her shoulder blades, and more on her legs and top of her bottom. The black has now faded. She has two-tone hairs onher. Two-tone is what I use for dog hair on her back is two different colors on each hair. She kept the sandy colored part n her head but that became a bit darker. One o my friend's mom thought i had gotten a different dog. Oh and when she came to us she had a pure black nose, and now her nose has a wide pink stripe down the middle.
So how offen does a color in a dog's fur change?
How normal is it for a dogs coat to change almost completely?
Yep,TRI-colors ALWAYS change.....more tan,less black.
How normal is it for a dogs coat to change almost completely?
It depends on the breed of your dog. Llasa Apsos, for instance, have puppy fur and later an adult coat. My dog was black and white and brown when I got him, and now he is beige all over. So, yes, it's normal for some breeds of dogs.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I have a puppy that was a black little fellow when we got him, but when he reached the age of 2 he turned into a complete grey color! No worries it is normal!
Check out the Dalmation.
Puppies are born white, spots appear as they grow older.
It is completely normal that just means she's getting older look at these pics:

I want to know your honest opinion about this poem!?
Day light changes from night to day
But somehow forever our love will stay
We went through alot of things
Gifts always were just watches or rings
But now it's all ended and we are no more
And my heart really doesnt want to be sore
So here is a poem saying how much im still in love
And I wish my soul could finally be as free as a dove
I miss your smile I miss your charm
I miss my fast beating heart when you would gentley touch my arm
I know we agreed to move along
but my in my head is still the beat of %26quot;our song%26quot;
I just hope now and pray
that I can get over you in some quick way
Our love forever will it be
even when my heart is lent out to other company
So remember our laughs,our talks,and our cries
and i wont ever forget the love i saw in your eyes.
I want to know your honest opinion about this poem!?
Its a really sweet poem, i hope it works. And to that other MORON who said it was boring and all about you. I bet no-one has ever written a poem about you because you were soooo BORING!
I want to know your honest opinion about this poem!?
kaitlyn u suck! u didn't choose me!!!!! grrrr im mad at u now!!!
awww
i love this poem
keep writing and posting more please
good try but is self egotistically boring and all about you
Sad, really sad. Breaks my heart reading it. I hope you feel better soon.
In all, and total sincerity....... I love it. It is something that I would write, if I had that kind of talent.
If it makes you feel better ... it is beautiful. But don't waste such heartfelt words on someone unworthy ... Have respect for yourself, mourn, and move on ... There's a whole new world out there. ...
It's okay. But if it was written for me, I would love it and cherish it forever.
that's good
I like it. It's honest the best written poems come that way. :)
First of all you should change %26quot;day' light to sun light. And the bit about watches and rings, change it to were always such marvelous blings, it sounds cooler
I've never really been fond of rhyming poetry, so I may not be the best to ask. I do like it though. I do notice a few grammar mistakes you may want to change. For instnace alot isn't a word. It's either allot or a lot. In your case you want the latter.
If you're wanting criticism I'd suggest more description, but that may not be what you want to do with this work. It depends fully on what you want it to do, say, affect and sound to someone. I like it.
kinda confusing if you try to analyze it thats wat i think. My mom said it sounded pretty that she liked it, because its very meaningful
its a great poem the only question i have is %26quot;but my in my head is still the beat of %26quot;our song%26quot;? other then that question I really like your poem and don't stop writing maybe try and send some to a publisher
Good choice of words, poor choice of meter (not that meter matters).
In terms of what you are saying, it sounds like you still feel for this person. Have you considered getting back together with him? Have you talked and communicated with him how you really feel? If you haven't, I'd do that. Who knows, it might work out again, then you can pay your friendly paper shredder a visit :)
It a very nice poem from the heart...
I've written one a month ago too...
You are trying to accept, but it's hard...
Your poem is saying that you will never forget those times and no, you will never forget, neither would they.
If you really love someone, set them free, it's the greatest gift you can ever give. You've given your heart, which was the precious gift...
It's good to see you growing. :)
honest opinion
a very mediocre, amateur poem
first of all there are many errors such as misspelled words (gently, a lot) and repetitions (but my in my head) which distract from the poem
your poem is written in couplets in an AABB rhyme scheme, but you chose not to have a distinct rhythm (e.g. iambic pentameter). this results in a very awkward sounding poem. i'm going to give you an exaggerated example of what you did with this poem:
Hey, want to go lay by the bay?
Nah, I think i would rather go play in the arcade with my uncle whose name is Jay.
sorry if this sounded all too harsh for you, I'm sure there are some things in the poem that only you and your lover could understand. best of luck!
awwwww how sweet....thats a really good poem...i could only make short ones....but its still nice....i meant yours are better than mine....yea..all i can say that it is a really good poem thats all...see ya
It's good, but take care of your grammar, don't stop writing!.
it rhymes. Congrats. It shows thought. Congrats. It doesn't scan, hoewever, and needs poetic language to be considered fine work. It is however, a start.
suggestions:
When night changed to day
love would not stay
we are no more
my heart is sore
I miss your smile, your charm,
when you gentley touched my arm
we'ved moved along
no more to %26quot;our song%26quot;
no laughs,talks,and cries
no love in your eyes
some of the lines are really cheesy but some are really good also. keep re writing, replacing some words with other ones til it sounds just right. i think you could do better. sorry, my honest opinion. but its not half bad. so keep tryin hun. hope this helps.
aaaawwwwww kaitlyn i can't believe u posted this!!!!! its sooooooooooooooooooooo sweet!!!!!!!

A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: a 2005 Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It is the best and most expensive car in the world, and it sets him back $1.24M. He takes it out for a spin and, while doing so, stops
for a red light. An old man on a moped (both looking about 90 years old) pulls up next to him. The old man looks over the sleek, shiny surface of the car and asks, %26quot;What kind of car ya' got there, sonny?%26quot;
The young man replies %26quot;A 2005 Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It cost $1.24M.
%26quot;That's a lot of money%26quot; says the old man, shocked. %26quot;Why does it cost so much?
%26quot;Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!%26quot; states the cool dude proudly.
The moped driver asks, %26quot;Can I take a look inside? %26quot;Sure,%26quot; replies the owner.
So, the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Leaning back on his moped, the old man says %26quot;That's a pretty nice car, all right!%26quot;
Just then, the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 320 MPH.
Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly, whhhoossh! Something whips by him, going much faster!
%26quot;What on earth could be going faster than my
16.4?%26quot; the young man asks himself.
Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him. Whoooooosh! It goes by again, heading the opposite direction! And, it almost looked like the old man on the moped! %26quot;Couldn't e,%26quot; thinks the guy. %26quot;How could a moped outrun a Bugatti?%26quot;
Again, he sees a dot in his rear view mirror! Whooooosh
Ka-BbblaMMM! It plows into the back of his car, demolishing the rear end. The young man jumps out, and good grief, it is the old man!!! Of course the moped and the old man are hurting for certain. He runs up to the dying old man and says, %26quot;You're hurt bad! Is there anything I can do for you?%26quot;
The old man groans and replies %26quot;Yes. Unhook my suspenders from your side-view mirror

I know that the thermostat was replaced a month ago when the heads were is there another thermostat to look at?
the guy i got the car from is a mechanic and he put a brand new thermostat on when he changed the heads, and i do konw that the fans do work. it has been really cold here las week or two. and when i was driving back home it was fine even when i got back to the city and was hittin lights. and anf im sorry but how do you figure that my water pump stops its running the whole time my engine is runing thats why theres a belt if the water pump stops when i stop that would mean that so would my power steering my altenator everything i appreciate the effort but plz dont waste my time with things that dont make sense
I know that the thermostat was replaced a month ago when the heads were is there another thermostat to look at?
No the water pump doesn't stop, but it will slow down to whatever you idle speed is, usually about 800 - 900 RPM. When you are driving you RPM's will probably be around 3,000, depending on the vehicle and engine. Slower RPM's means your coolant is not being circulated as fast. You could have a partially blocked radiator which means not as much coolant is going through as should be and when you are sitting at idle for any length of time your temperature may start to climb. You can check this by turning on your heater to pull heat out of the system and help cool the engine, if this works there is a good chance your radiator needs to be cored.

nope ! you just have 1 thermostat. if your not getting heat the probably the heater core needs flushing.if it,s overheating the it could be the radiator, water pump or the the fan not kicking on.
Answer. There is only one thermostat.
What doesn't make sense if the rest of your post. It's a lot of words, many misspelled, that say nothing.
The water pump does not stop running. And No there is not another thermostat. Maybe the guy did not bleed the cooling system. Air bubbles accumulate in the cooling system if it is not bled. Let the car get cooled off. Then remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level. If it needs coolant fill it and run the car while doing it so the coolant will get into the radiator. Replace the cap. Find the 'bleeding' screw near the thermostat housing. It uses a regular flathead screwdriver . Run the engine to operating temperature the fans should turn on after a while. Turn the bleed screw counter clockwise until all the air is out and the only thing coming out is coolant. If you can't find a bleed screw, turn the radiator cap very slowly until the coolant starts coming out into the reservoir. Use something to protect your hands. be cery careful. DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP. Only sligtly turn it until you hear the air come out.get ride of my dry skin What material for a duvet cover for pet owners

Another car wreck settlement question?
My brother and I were in a car wreck on January 2. We were sitting at a red light waiting to turn left. The light changed and my brother took off when another car ran the red light from the driver's side and hit us doing 40-45mph. Luckily, an undercover police officer sat at the red light opposite us and saw the whole thing. It totaled the vehicle and I (the passenger) was slammed against the seat belt post causing a large bump to form on the side of my head. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance where the doctors ran x-rays and MRIs on me. Those came back without a problem. I then went to the chiropractor the next day where he performed x-rays on my back. I found out that the impact of the wreck forced my vertebrae in my mid to lower back out of position. So I had treatments there three times a week for 7-8 weeks. Now I am at the point of waiting for the chiropractor to actually release me. Also if I didn't mention it before, I'm 14 and at the time of the accident had to carry three classes books (two per class) with me at the peak of my day causing extreme pain in my lower back. Some days I had to go home early or even miss school altogether because of the pain. So now my question is how much longer will it be before I get a settlement and I was thinking that the settlement should be about $8,000. If any insurance adjusters are reading this, does it sound fairly close to a starting point for negotiations?
Another car wreck settlement question?
No settlement will be offered until you are completely done with your medical treatment. No one here can answer what settlement amount will be offered or is right for you. That will be up to you and the insurance company. If I were you, though, I would not be seeing a chiropractor but instead would see a real Doctor. You will have to live with your back the rest of your life and I would not be risking my back health to a %26quot;bone crusher%26quot;.
Another car wreck settlement question?
YOU won't get paid a settlement at all - your guardian will.
Depending on what state you are in, you might not be entitled to ANYTHING for pain and suffering - you might have to collect your medical bills off of your brother's policy.
If a DOCTOR didn't find anything wrong, well, chiro's are notorious for doing lots of therapy, and finding stuff wrong all the time. You'll be lucky to get the doctor bill and xrays done. Chiros ALWAYS see you three times a week, for at least three months, then they want to see you once a month, FOREVER. That's why anything a chiro says, is heavily discounted, when looking at injuries.
It's highly possible that all your back problems were caused over time, by carrying your BOOKS, and not by the accident.
If someone offers you $8K, I'd take it and run - keeping in mind, that your CHIRO bills have to be paid out of that. But I don't think you're going to see that much.
Assuming you are tort eligible, the threshold requirements vary from state to state, your PARENTS need to present the claim on your behalf. Often a %26quot;friendly suit%26quot; needs to be filed, and the court needs to approve of the settlement.
Sounds like you sustained a minor soft tissue injury. Once you have been released, your chiro, will send the insurance company a final report. I don't understand why you went to a chiro and not a real doctor followed by physical therapy. Adjusters do not think much of chiro treatment.
Depending on what state this loss occurred in, you can expect about $2400 - $3200 plus your medical expenses, assuming they were not paid by your brother's PIP coverage. Often this settlement is held in an escrow account until you are 18 years old.
$8k is a reasonable DEMAND, but your parent's need to be willing to negotiate. Expect the First offer to be about $2k plus meds.
I hope you didn't sign a release from the insurance. Insurance companies are not your friends. You might have on going issues with the injury and you could claim it against the other guys insurance. Sign NOTHING untill your lawyer looks at it.
$8,000 sounds pretty good
however that will not be your offer.
My offer was $750 (and my bills were $3K)
TALK TO AN ATTORNEY or get your parents to talk to one!
if you are age 14, you cannot settle with your insurance company since you are a minor. the insurance company will settle with your parents and depending on state law, it may have to have it approved by a court.
the settlement will most likely be put into a trust till you are age 18 or 21.
this is to protect you. years ago, they did not do that.
my husband, a lawyer had a serious injury of a baby about 20 or more years ago. the settlement was $350,000. the parents immediately showed up the next day in a new car. by the time the child was 18, there was no money left; the parents spent it all. the child was/is in a wheelchair for the rest of their life and cannot function on her own without help. that happened a lot back then, so most states have set up trusts to protect the child. any money taken has to be approved;
ie; medical bills to be paid;
good luck
