going snowboardig for the first time. any advice?What's the best advice you can give for first-time snowboarders?
lessons are good... Expensive.. i taught several friends and my wife.... before you do anything learn how to get in and out of your bindings... i showed my wife how to get in, get out, and stand up... she did it a few times in the living room and when we got to the slopes she didnt need to waste time learning how to do it there.... second learn how to plow (preferably heel edge) after you perform the falling leaf a few times (back and forth) down the slope plowing you will learn how to stop.. after that just point (with your finger) where you want to go, doing that turns your shoulders and when you turn your shoulders it turns your hips and your board follows... do that a few times and the whole carving thing will soon follow... Granted these are not ';advanced'; tips but they do work.What's the best advice you can give for first-time snowboarders?
don't give up. no matter how pissed off you get because you keep falling.
my only tip is.. ski instead. lol
Stay balenced, keep in contact with the board and the snow.
I just learned last year, and everyone kept stressing to me that if (when) I fall not to put my hands in front or behind me b/c you could seriously hurt your wrists. As far as technique when you are on the board your legs are slightly bent, you butt is kind of tucked in and your heels are back. Good Luck!!
Don't fall (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Take lessons. Don't give up on the first day because the first day suck big ones for everyone and they feel like they never want to try it again.
bend your knees, keep in control, stay at a speed your comfortable with
when you fall dont put your hands in back of you to catch your self its a good way to sprain your wrists
Get some hip/butt pads like football players wear and wrist guards like for Rollerblading, and be prepared to fall...a bunch.
wear plenty of pads and keep your weight in the center of your skis.

If you accidentally dump a can of soda on your game console, what should you do? Where do you find this advice
If you accidentally dump a can of soda on your game console, what should you do? Where do you find this advice?If you accidentally dump a can of soda on your game console, what should you do? Where do you find this advice
Personally I would unplug it (!) then open it up (if possible) and then in any case dip it in fresh water a few times to dissolve the sugar and wipe with a soft cloth and let it dry thoroughly. like for a couple of days. It should be ok.
If it's diet soda then there won't be any sugar, but I would still want to wash it out I think.If you accidentally dump a can of soda on your game console, what should you do? Where do you find this advice
Unplug all cords, make sure no liquids got in the vents or seeped into cracks etc. Than clean off all the soda on the exterior. If no soda got in the vents you should be fine, but if it did you may need to send it in to the manufacture (ie. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) but make sure to clean it up as soon as possible as in pretty much right when you read this.
take it apart and wipe it with a kind of wet towel and dry it with another towel. i did that and it worked
DO NOT turn the console on. instead, unplug it immediately. If there's no electricity flowing through the cords, it can't short out. Next, open it up(if it's off warranty). try and clean up as much as you can inside of the machine with a damp rag, trying to not add any moisture. next, put it under a fan for about 24 hours. put it back together and try it out. if it doesn't work, you fried something before you even touched it. Good luck with that! Hope I helped!
my friend dropped a can of soda on my xbox. i opened it up wiped it down and let it dry. and it still works to this day and that happened about 1%26amp;1/2 yrs ago. it shouldn't do much damage unless it got on some pretty electric stuff.eye makeup

How do you follow up a job interview? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
The employer claimed he will contact me yesterday or today. He also claimed I can contact him anytimes, but he prefers to contact by e-mail.
He also said, don't be discourage if the position will be on hold.
How do I follow up? What should I write to him on e-mail.
Thank you very much.How do you follow up a job interview? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I would follow up with an email, expressing your sincere gratitude for the time he spent with you, and express your interest in the position. Keep it simple and short. ASK for the job, if it's really what you want.How do you follow up a job interview? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
LEt him know you enjoyed interviewing with him and just wanted to follow up with him b/c you are very interested in becoming a part of his team. Add what you can and will bring to the table.
Just write a thank you e-mail, thanking him for taking the time to interview you.
Shows your gratitude, makes you look professional, and keeps you in his head when he's making his decision.
1.) email; include:
a. Gratitude for taking the time to interview you
b. Reminder of why you are the perfect candidate for the job
c. Quick summary (1-2 scentence) of what you can to bring to the job
d. make sure you spell names/titles correctly
e. end with: ';Thanks again, and I hope we will be in contact soon'; (something to re-emphasize your eagerness for this job)
2.) telephone call within a week (if no reply to email) to ten days (if replied to email); during the call:
a. realize that they might be busy so keep this a short/sweet courtesy call. (but the fact that you also took the time to email+call shows them your eagerness/seriousness to get the position)
b. continue to sell your strengths during the phone call.
c. don't forget to emphasize character (if you can send out a good message of character over the phone, you've done well)
you can do this through professional but friendly saying something that he might find funny (KEEP THIS PROFFESSIONAL)...(but this is a good time to show him something more than what's on paper)
d. End when things seem to be going good. leave them wanting more, but don't overdo it.
(the convo might go something like this:
greetings
(hi, How are you doing? this is .... you interviewed me on...., I was just wondering how that was going.)
light-hearted humor
(oh really? well...insert joking... hahaha)(haha, yes!)
end
(haha, yes!)(indeed... so I'll just leave you to your work now, and hopefully I'll see you around soon!)
email and phone call should leave a good visual and auditory impression in addition to a great resume and interview session.
other than that, you shouldn't be too worried if you think things are going well
GOOD LUCK!
I like what agony anna said. wait 48 hours and then call just to enquire. if nothing more happens then leave it.
I've done that many times, and been disappointed when I get told I will be contacted, and noone does.
employers are just too busy these days.
If I were you I would wait for around 48 hours beyond when he said he would contact you, otherwise you may appear like you are hassling him.
Then send an email simply asking how long he anticipates needing in order to decide upon a successul candidate. Continue to express your interest in the role and offer to meet with him again if there is any further information he would like from you.
If you don't hear back from that email after 48 hours telephone him once (and leave a message) then leave it. Don't look desperate.
Good luck!!
after any interview i email the employer and thank them for interviewing me and i write a short summary of my qualifications and specific things we talked about so they will remember me. doing this lets them know you're interested and you want the job. you could also call and speak to him directly and do the same. the only reason i wouldn't call is because if you call them at the wrong time, they may get angry and then you have just ended your chance. with an email at least, its there and whenever they get time, they can read it. you could call and speak with the secretary and she could give you the info you need to :';nail the job.';
..good luck with the new job once you get it dear!! :-)
No don't hun, PHONE him instead and say something like, ';Good morning, my name is .......... and i attended an interview there on such and such a date, This is just a ';courtecy call'; really to enquire as to how far along things may or may not be going. Hope that helps hun, Good luck.

What is the best baby advice you have gotten?
sleep when baby does - the best advice ever - should have taken it!
and to make your lunch at the same time as breakfast. that way if you are getting a bad day you dont have to worry about it. its a real time saver xWhat is the best baby advice you have gotten?
It is a toss up between
1--wear your baby
and
2--breastfeed for as long ans your baby wants to
My two year old is the happiest, most out going little boy I know. I am not changing a THING with my youngest!What is the best baby advice you have gotten?
Don't sweat the small stuff...and...trust your gut. Both invaluable.
sleep when your baby does.
Don't listen to every ones advice. Have a ';go-to'; person to get advice from. (Like the dr)
When I had my daughter, everyone chimed in to tell me what i need to be doing different. (Dressing to warm, not dressing her enough, warming the bottle too much, not warming the bottle enough) I went insane! I finally talk to my pediatrician and she said that you need to choose one person to go to, and tell everyone else to keep comments to themselves. A lot has changed in baby care, things change almost every year, so that is why I chose to only go to my pediatrician.
Good Luck
not to compare your baby to others, they all mature at different rates, such as walking, crawling, talking, potty training.
Breastfeeding past a year IS okay.
%26lt;On breastfeeding%26gt;:Suck it up, and stick with it.
And I agree on sleep when baby sleeps.
Get as many cuddles as possible.
I agree with mean people suck, sleep when your baby does, i ignored that and thought it was silly, until my baby actually arrived and i realised i was tired all the time!
All of the above. Also trust your instincs, nap now before the baby comes.
Most important---
HOLD YOUR BABY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND WANT. IT WILL NOT SPOIL THEM.
If you dont, you will never get that time back, and before you know it, they are crawling and walking and cuddle time is done.
To give full term breastfeeding a try. My daughter is 18 months and we're still going strong - she's healthy as a horse.
The day after the baby was born, my pediatrician came in and said ';You're not a bad mother if you send her to the nursery to sleep tonight.';
She had no idea how badly I needed to hear that! I was so tired the night I had my daughter, but I felt like I had to let her room-in or I'd be a failure.
I listened to the doc. The nurses brought her to me to eat and then took her back. I'll definitely take advantage of that both nights with my next!
Its ok if they cry.
Trust your own feelings ALWAYS
I learned a big one Use the crib right away when using a bassinet the child wants that and when you move them to a crib they CRY FOR EVER!
MY rule Dishes are dirty laundry needs to be done. It can always wait for a child. Laundry can spend days in the dryer easy to get and clean if it never gets folded what do you have to show for why...... What I did with my son
its easy to throw lanudry in the washer and dry its harder to fold it when you sun wants attention. So dig for your cloths.

It all depends on what you like to do. And how old your are. If your high school or college this is the point were you really need to think.
I realized i loved children. so i decided to go into the day care field.
If you like helping people and can stand blood you can become a nurse because there will always be hospitals.
If you want to sit and relax you can do secretary.
if you let me know what your likes and dislikes are i can help you find a job.
or if there is nothing holding you back you can always join the military. They have excellent benefits and pay for college as well.

What is the best dieting advice/tip you can offer?
I have about 50 pounds to lose and I start my diet in the morning. But I've never been that good at sticking with a diet (obviously)...never sure what's is a good choice and what's not and never stay motivated with the scales don't move ';fast enough';. But anyway, just looking for the best tip or advice you've been told.What is the best dieting advice/tip you can offer?
Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.
I think it would help if you could have a change in your way of thinking. A more positive attitude will help you feel better and get healthy faster. Using affirmations is one way to change your mind. I have used the following affirmation with some of my clients and they did very well. ''I, (say your name), am at my perfect weight. I look and feel fantastic.'' Write that down 21 times a day for 21 days. Start telling yourself positive things about yourself like, ''I am getting better and better every day!'' or ''Everything I eat makes me thin and healthy.''
This will help. If you have negative thoughts when you write down the affirmation, write down everything that comes into your mind. Then write down the affirmation again. After a while your mind will start to agree with you.
Also, you need to eat healthy and exercise. Following is my standard answer to everyone who wants to lose weight. It's a lot of information but I'm sure it will help you. Good luck with your goal! You can do it.
*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com (Link at bottom of page) and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!
*This information is based on my personal and professional experience.

Here is a list of common mistakes people make when attempting to lose weight. Remember that this list contains general guidelines and that your best bet is to consult with a Registered Dietician to be sure that you are meeting all of your bodies nutritional needs.
1) Not eating breakfast
2) Going too long between meals
3) Not eating immediately after a workout
4) Relying on energy bars or meal replacements instead of quality food choices
5) Limiting carbohydrate intake
6) Eating too much fast food or processed foods
7) Following a low-calorie diet
8) Thinking that because you exercise you can eat whatever you want
9) Not drinking enough water
10) Following fad diets
If any of the above list sounds familiar then make a change. Only you are responsible for your health and well-being. Don't leave it up to someone else (spouse or doctor) to get you on the path towards feeling good. Try to be more active and make smarter choices concerning the foods you put into your body.

The best thing any dieter can do is forget weight as a goal. Weight is meaningless, and even if you make progress, but don't hit that *perfect* weight, you feel like you've failed.
Think about it. Does it really matter how much you weigh, if your body looks how you want it to? A person's ideal weight is made up of several factors, including genetics, bone density, muscle tone and their metabolic rate. Trying to attain a weight that may not be natural for your body is the quickest way to fail at a diet, quit and rebound, gaining more weight.
A better idea is to realistically picture how you want to look, then adopt a slow, reasonable process of a healthy diet and exercise. If you let your body change at its own pace, you will see results, and that will inspire you to keep going.
Personally, I haven't weighed myself in 15 years. I could care less how much I weigh. It's just a useless number. I make decisions on whether I need to change my eating and exercise habits by how I look in the mirror. If I see my face or gut starting to get bigger, I slightly decrease my daily calories, and exercise a little more. Then I check that mirror a week or two later and see what's changed. If I'm still getting fatter, I redouble my efforts.
When I was a teenager, I used to be obsessed about getting to 155 lbs. Then as I learned more about nutrition, I realized that if I exercised and replaced fat with heavier muscle (also boosting my metabolism) I might weight 165 or 170, but I'll look how I want to.
So, more than anything, forget weight. Actually, throw away the scale. All that matters is liking what you see in the mirror. No scale can give that to you, and losing lots of weight without increasing muscle tone can actually make you look less healthy, as you now have loose skin with no muscle to hold it firmly in place.
I'm trying myself.
I've found that carbs are not as great as they say.I stay away from them so the body is forced to burn fat instead of carbs.Veggies,fruit,tea,water,low cal.,no carbs,no pasta.
Good long workout,sweat is good.I had to pick up a motabolism booster as well.
They say it takes time.Good luck.
Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.
I think it would help if you could have a change in your way of thinking. A more positive attitude will help you feel better and get healthy faster. Using affirmations is one way to change your mind. I have used the following affirmation with some of my clients and they did very well. ''I, (say your name), am at my perfect weight. I look and feel fantastic.'' Write that down 21 times a day for 21 days. Start telling yourself positive things about yourself like, ''I am getting better and better every day!'' or ''Everything I eat makes me thin and healthy.''
This will help. If you have negative thoughts when you write down the affirmation, write down everything that comes into your mind. Then write down the affirmation again. After a while your mind will start to agree with you.
Also, you need to eat healthy and exercise. Following is my standard answer to everyone who wants to lose weight. It's a lot of information but I'm sure it will help you. Good luck with your goal! You can do it.
*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com (Link at bottom of page) and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!
*This information is based on my personal and professional experience.

http://www.infinity2.com Sponsor ID 3290988What is the best dieting advice/tip you can offer?
Here is a list of common mistakes people make when attempting to lose weight. Remember that this list contains general guidelines and that your best bet is to consult with a Registered Dietician to be sure that you are meeting all of your bodies nutritional needs.
1) Not eating breakfast
2) Going too long between meals
3) Not eating immediately after a workout
4) Relying on energy bars or meal replacements instead of quality food choices
5) Limiting carbohydrate intake
6) Eating too much fast food or processed foods
7) Following a low-calorie diet
8) Thinking that because you exercise you can eat whatever you want
9) Not drinking enough water
10) Following fad diets
If any of the above list sounds familiar then make a change. Only you are responsible for your health and well-being. Don't leave it up to someone else (spouse or doctor) to get you on the path towards feeling good. Try to be more active and make smarter choices concerning the foods you put into your body.
http://www.fitnessdiet.info/diettip.php
The best thing any dieter can do is forget weight as a goal. Weight is meaningless, and even if you make progress, but don't hit that *perfect* weight, you feel like you've failed.
Think about it. Does it really matter how much you weigh, if your body looks how you want it to? A person's ideal weight is made up of several factors, including genetics, bone density, muscle tone and their metabolic rate. Trying to attain a weight that may not be natural for your body is the quickest way to fail at a diet, quit and rebound, gaining more weight.
A better idea is to realistically picture how you want to look, then adopt a slow, reasonable process of a healthy diet and exercise. If you let your body change at its own pace, you will see results, and that will inspire you to keep going.
Personally, I haven't weighed myself in 15 years. I could care less how much I weigh. It's just a useless number. I make decisions on whether I need to change my eating and exercise habits by how I look in the mirror. If I see my face or gut starting to get bigger, I slightly decrease my daily calories, and exercise a little more. Then I check that mirror a week or two later and see what's changed. If I'm still getting fatter, I redouble my efforts.
When I was a teenager, I used to be obsessed about getting to 155 lbs. Then as I learned more about nutrition, I realized that if I exercised and replaced fat with heavier muscle (also boosting my metabolism) I might weight 165 or 170, but I'll look how I want to.
So, more than anything, forget weight. Actually, throw away the scale. All that matters is liking what you see in the mirror. No scale can give that to you, and losing lots of weight without increasing muscle tone can actually make you look less healthy, as you now have loose skin with no muscle to hold it firmly in place.
I'm trying myself.
I've found that carbs are not as great as they say.I stay away from them so the body is forced to burn fat instead of carbs.Veggies,fruit,tea,water,low cal.,no carbs,no pasta.
Good long workout,sweat is good.I had to pick up a motabolism booster as well.
They say it takes time.Good luck.
What is the best advice you can give a first time major comic book convention attendee?
I'm going to my first major comic book convention(wizardworld chicago),I would appreciate any advice i can get on making it a great experience.I don't want want to make any silly mistakes just because i didn't know any better but there are no resources online.Please help.What is the best advice you can give a first time major comic book convention attendee?
i go to comic-con international every year and here are my survival tips:
1. wear comfortable shoes - you're going to be on your feet all day!
2. bring a backpack to carry your loot in.
3. to save on overpriced convention food and drink, bring a bottle of water and your favorite non-crushable snacks - i carry pop-tarts, but you might like granola bars or string cheese.
4. carry extra cash - some dealers might cut you a break for cash only (no tax), and the convention ATMs might have a surcharge and a long line.
5. look at the program in advance - if they have different panels, chart out which ones you absolutely have to go see, the ones that you are somewhat interested in. plan your schedule accordingly.
6. bring something to do while standing in line - a book, iPod or gameboy. or bring a friend to talk to. or make friends
7. while it might be fun to just party all day and not sleep or shower, be kind to your fellow conventioneers and shower and use deodorant. no one wants to have to stand behind ';didn't shower'; guy.
8. if you are looking to complete a collection or find particular items, remember to shop around - dont just buy 'the item' at the first place that is selling it. be willing to ask 'can i get a discount?'
9. if you are talking to a celebrity, be polite and don't ask if they will marry you. also, if they are signing autographs, they might be a bit tired, so don't expect them to be happy after signing autographs for a huge crowd. (but when they are happy, it can make for a great experience to chat with them)
10. if just browsing around the shopping area, set a budget for yourself, and stick to it. don't blow all your money on every cool thing in sight.What is the best advice you can give a first time major comic book convention attendee?
Actually, this advice is also good for most conventions and hobby/craft shows. I've been to science fiction conventions (much overlap with comics), and to doll collectors' shows, and it's all good advice.
GREAT ADVICE!
Don't Take small children. Comic book conventions tend to be Porn conventions too.
If you want to sell stuff pack it with ya and approach some of the pricier dealers.
If the convention is still as the Rosemont, park on the lower level and walk across the street, you won't get caught in a line going in.
Take some of your gaming stuff with you if you are involved with stuff like HeroClix, or other card games.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A CURRENT DATABASE OF YOUR OWN COLLECTION.
Take books that you would like to get signed, YOU NEVER KNOW WHO MIGHT BE THERE.
Have a great time.
Take a sketch book.
See if you can score some limited edition comics.
Good luck
Wow, have a good time.
Depending upon what your plans for going are, there is different advice.
If you're going to collect autographs: Prepare in advance what you want signed, and always, ALWAYS, ask the person you are meeting if they will personalize your autograph (To......, For.....,Whatever) this will generally make them take some kind of notice of you. In many cases people just want the signature to boost the resale of the book. Also, wherever possible ask them some well thought out questions. Good examples are about inspirations, what they are reading now, who they read as they were growing up. Try to avoid standing about and praising them, They hear this all the time.
If you're going to have some work reviewed: Be prepared to leave something with an editor or publisher. Very few publishers will review on site, and those that do generally will not do a thourough job. Make sure you have read over all submission guidelines for the companies you plan to leave work for. Also, and I can't stress this enough, do NOT give Marvel your Superman samples, or DC your renditions of Captain America. They won't really appreciate that. They want to see you can draw their characters as well as your style and story telling ability. Same goes for writing. Don't give a Spiderman script to DC comics.
If you're going to sell: Make sure everything you have is in nice, clean bags, but easily accessible to dealers who may want to check interior quality. Try to sell in lots or full collections, it;s hard to move single issues unless you have something very rare or very popular that everyone wants. Also, be prepared to haggle on price. Don't expect a full WIZARD magazine value, conventions are not the place for that.
If you're looking to buy: Have a good plan of what you want, but don't necessarily stick to it 100%. I find that some of teh best things I have bought were never on my list in the first place. Conventions are a great place to find miniseries collections or graphic collections for pretty cheap. Also, don't buy at the first dealer you see. More often then not, you can find the same items at various tables with, sometimes, very different pricing. Unless you can be sure you're getting the best price, shop around.
Finally, just have a good time. Cons can be stressful, what with line-ups, crowds, etc. Just relax and enjoy. Everyone else is there for the same reason, to have a good time and share a love of comics and collectables.
Shop around dont spend all your money at one booth and enjoy yourself!!

Silently pray to the Almighty even if you don't believe in God........ my father told me when I was 10 yrs old.
Silent prayer is an act in humility that strengthens our mind by silencing unwarranted worries and thereby improving focus on the task at hand.

Can you give me advice about these problems with menopause?
I am 45 years old and I'm already having severe hot flashes, I haven't had a period in 6 months (I've had a test by the doctor and I'm not pregnant), and there is emotional anxiety, etc. The doctor said I was in pre menopause, but 6 months with no period sounds like full blown menopause, doesn't it?
Also, what treatments has anyone tried?Can you give me advice about these problems with menopause?
Hi Bonnie D, you are right it sounds like a full blown menopause but even if it was pre menopause there's lots of Choices that the doctor could have
talk to u about and put u on some kind of medication for it my suggestion will be call ur doctor back ask for medication for ur hot flashes if denied ask them why but first they have to take a blood test and see where your hormones levels are, and base on the results a mild or strong medication will be given, Good luck
hope this Information will helpCan you give me advice about these problems with menopause?
Hi
I suggest using hrt which will protect you against many long term health problems associated with menopause including depression, insomnia, raised cholesterol, reduced libido, incontinence, anxiety, arthritis, osteoporosis and flushes.
The odds of increased risk of breast cancer rise from 43 in 1000 women to 44 in 1000 women.
There is plenty of scare stories about hormone treatment. But I believe the benefits far outweigh the risks.I myself use bio identical hormone therapy which is tailored to my needs by my Endocrinologist.
I think you are going through menopause as you are showing the classic symptoms. Hot flushes and no period. The word ';menopause'; literally means the ';end of monthly cycles'; from the Greek words pausis (cessation) and the word root men (month).
There are heaps of products on the market. So don't feel like you have to put up with it. I have links to some products below. :)
My doctor did a blood test on me to check my hormone levels to determine if I was pre-menopausal or in menopause. You should ask your doctor to do the same.
There are hormone pills that will help but they come with risks and side effects. Ask your doctor which would be best for you.
(I have the night sweats that are awful so I feel your pain!)
Hot flashes and night sweats can begin 4 -5 years before you period completely ends.
Consider taking the herb Black Cohosh for the hot flashes. You can later add Damiana and Don Quai. Some companies make a combo pill to take, check with your local Health Food Store.
Most of my friends have hot flashes. I've been drinking non-gmo Soy Milk - at least a glass a week and don't have hot flashes like my friends.
Your doc is right that you are in premenaupause. Once you dont bleed at all in one year you will officially enter it. Regarding your problems i guess at the moment you should try to bear with them but in case you are unable to ask you doc bout it. He/she may give prescribe your hrt or hormone replacement therapy. But usually its given after full menaupause. Right now your body is going through changes in hormonal levels. Anyways consult your doc about it
you need to talk too your DR.
some people get hormone replacement
Hi, I started menopause early too, but my doctor said every one is different but it could take a few years . I was very lucky I sailed right through with out any meds of any kind.Good Luck!
Bonnie, that sounds exactly like me! They don;t call it emnopause until it's been 1 year without a period. For me, all the major stuff came after my periods stopped. I'm doing Bio Identical Hormone Replacement and I feel much better, Hang in there!

What's the best advice you can give for first-time snowboarders?
going snowboardig for the first time. any advice?What's the best advice you can give for first-time snowboarders?
lessons are good... Expensive.. i taught several friends and my wife.... before you do anything learn how to get in and out of your bindings... i showed my wife how to get in, get out, and stand up... she did it a few times in the living room and when we got to the slopes she didnt need to waste time learning how to do it there.... second learn how to plow (preferably heel edge) after you perform the falling leaf a few times (back and forth) down the slope plowing you will learn how to stop.. after that just point (with your finger) where you want to go, doing that turns your shoulders and when you turn your shoulders it turns your hips and your board follows... do that a few times and the whole carving thing will soon follow... Granted these are not ';advanced'; tips but they do work.What's the best advice you can give for first-time snowboarders?
don't give up. no matter how pissed off you get because you keep falling.
my only tip is.. ski instead. lol
Stay balenced, keep in contact with the board and the snow.
I just learned last year, and everyone kept stressing to me that if (when) I fall not to put my hands in front or behind me b/c you could seriously hurt your wrists. As far as technique when you are on the board your legs are slightly bent, you butt is kind of tucked in and your heels are back. Good Luck!!
Don't fall (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Take lessons. Don't give up on the first day because the first day suck big ones for everyone and they feel like they never want to try it again.
bend your knees, keep in control, stay at a speed your comfortable with
when you fall dont put your hands in back of you to catch your self its a good way to sprain your wrists
Get some hip/butt pads like football players wear and wrist guards like for Rollerblading, and be prepared to fall...a bunch.
wear plenty of pads and keep your weight in the center of your skis.

Please give me an advice & Is everything possible when you believe in yourself?
My dream is to become a singer and I am learning the piano right now..
I am writing a lyrics too, but I scare to fail on this, that I wont be a singer..
And waste my time on it... other idea is to become an actor, / a movie maker.. Do You think I should try??? Is really everything possible when You believe in Yourself?? So, should I try??? Please help me, and advice me, I would be really thankful.Please give me an advice %26amp; Is everything possible when you believe in yourself?
Believing in yourself is important. But KNOWING yourself is just as important. Know your potentials, limitations, and capabilities. Do you have the capabilities and the resources to become a singer/actor/movie maker? Because things like that don't just come easily. You have to work for them. I don't just mean working hard and practicing or whatever. You need to have the financial resources to pursue those things. Education and/or proper training will also help. Even extremely talented people sometimes have to work hard to even get noticed.
So do I think that EVERYTHING is possible when you believe in yourself? In the absolute sense, NO. Because if that were the case, then almost everyone in the world will be living his/her dreams.
Rather, I believe that everything WITHIN your capabilities and limitations is possible. You gotta truly know yourself first to help you figure out the vastness of the possibilities.Please give me an advice %26amp; Is everything possible when you believe in yourself?
This is so hard to answer but I will try. All things are *possible* if you believe in yourself, however, nothing is ever *guaranteed* despite belief or whatever.
The more you believe in yourself, the longer you will try and the more confident you will be, and the more possible it will be that you will succeed.
You have several things you are trying, and that is best. If one doesn't work out, another may. It is more likely to be successful when you try many things. I don't think it is a waste of time, no matter what. Of course you should try. No question about it.
Best of luck.
i think you should have a plam B, that is a very hard indutry to get into soo you need to keep going to school. its good that your learning new things like piano and that your writting lyrics, not everyone can do that soo just keep on doing what you have to do

What to know what everyone thinks about becoming a surrogate mother, OR if you have any advice for me.?
I have been look for information about become a surrogate mother and I need some advice or just some general help finding out some more information. I would love to help another family if I can but some of the information I'm finding is so confusingWhat to know what everyone thinks about becoming a surrogate mother, OR if you have any advice for me.?
Here is an excellant site about surragate mothers.... they have sample contracts, messege boards, info and all.....
http://www.surromomsonline.com/
good luck!What to know what everyone thinks about becoming a surrogate mother, OR if you have any advice for me.?
You've already posted this question today. Google ';becoming a surrogate';.
I think you should try to watch the video of ';BABY M'; before deciding. This will help you to decide if you can actually give the baby away at the end.
If you google Melissa Stern and Mary Beth Whitehead you should be able to get the just from the news story. It was a big controvosy (can't spell!) in America and was shown on TV in 1993, I have the video of it if you cannot get it from google. Not sure if I'll be able to copy it though.
I could never do it-but I certainly admire women that do it for the right reasons and produce a child for a couple that wants one so badly.
l don't know anything about it, but l think that would be a really unselfish and extraordinary thing to do. l don't think l could ever do it, l think it's really brave. l remember seeing this news show but, l think it said something about the parents have to 'adopt' the child because biologically it isn't theirs? IDK, sorry! Good luck with what you decide!
I am not sure on that. I just wanted to say you are doing a wonderful thing. I am infertle and know how it is not to be able to have a child and you WILL make some one VERY HAPPY some time. I thank you for the ones you will help. :)
there is a lot of skepticism about surrogat motherhood and the motives. but more than that even the best people can be swayed by emotion after pregnancy hormones have been surging through you for 9 months. They are after all meant to change a woman and give her the emotional state conducive to nurturing this new life.
The tendency for some has been to back out and keep the child, then not return the money assuming expenses are paid for. Why should anyone trust that you would not do that?
Man, I could never do that, but I admire you. I think I'd get too attached to the unborn child. You know yourself better than anyone, and if you know you can do it, that would make a family extremely happy. That's how I feel about it, and all I can suggest about research is google and local adoption agencies.

What advice can you give to students with GPA of 2.7 entering their Senior year?
can thye still get into a really god school by graduation?What advice can you give to students with GPA of 2.7 entering their Senior year?
I think that you should not give up, if you truly want to go to a good school. I had a 2.8 in my junior year of my first semester, but that wasn't cumulative. I ended up with a 3.2, 3.5 weighted. I know it sounds really cliche, but really, don't give up. I don't regret where I am in my life right now, but I have thought that I seem to have had this attitude where I either wanted it all or nothing. because I wasn't getting a 4.0, I was like, forget this, and that might be why I had such a GPA of 2.8. I feel like I never wanted myself to be a failure, so I let myself not work as hard, to prove to myself that I was still smart, but that the only reason I had low grades was because I didn't work as hard. I have to say, that, you have nothing to lose by working hard, maybe your pride, which is good to lose anyway. People may or may not ask you what your GPA was back in high school, but I doubt they will ask you, ';How hard did you work in high school?'; You really have nothing to lose by working hard. It is pretty true, I don't want to say completely true, but where there's a will, there's a way.
I have to say though, that I did get into a four-year university my first year of college, and now I'm at a community college. When I left the four-year university to come to community college, I was pretty embarrassed when people asked me what school I went to. Now, though, I realize that this is really the place for me, and you'll find a lot of other people that go to community college too. I would never back in high school have wanted anyone to think I was going to community college, because I didn't want to seem poor. And plus, a subject I hated in high school is turning out to be a subject that I actually kind of like while I'm here.
So community college really isn't that bad. But if you do want to go to a four-year university, I would say, don't give up. If you really want to go, I knew a couple people that got into the four-year university I went to by ...I forgot what it's called, but if they don't take you the first time, you apply a second time. Not giving up and not having a defeatist attitude will help. (look at all these big words I know, although I learned defeatist from a movie)
I think that being interested in what you're learning and loving what you're learning will really help. Reading to understand, more than just trying to memorize for a test, will help you. Of course, sometimes memorizing might be what you need for a test, but still. I also think starting early for studying will help. I just finished some homework yesterday that I thought was due today, but turned out to be due next week. But in class, I understood what my professor was talking about. So, there's that: if you start early, you'll understand and probably get more out of lectures.
You really can still get into a pretty good school, I don't know how good is good for you, because what was sort of looked down upon at my high school was later received like, _____? that's good, from others who did not go to my high school. I think you should still have hope. You never know.What advice can you give to students with GPA of 2.7 entering their Senior year?
Practice this phrase:
';Would you like fries with that?';
yes..just make sure you get your GPA a lot higher.

What advice can you give to visitor to the Baltic States (to me)?
I decided to go to the Baltic States this autumn.What advice can you give to visitor to the Baltic States (to me)?
Get a russian and a latvian dictionary, since both are spoken in Latvia. Alot of people do speak english, though. Exchange money for euros, cause not everyone will accept dollars. As far as visiting, Riga is beautiful. It has a lot of different types of public transportattion, so get a city map and a route map for different types, so its easier to get around. However, you can walk anywhere, cause everything is pretty close.It has a historic part of town in the middle and is very charming, there is a lot of culture but also fun things. The beaches are beautiful and not too far from main city. Depending on whether, you might even swim. Visit some historic castles in the cities surrounding latvia, they are beautiful and peaceful.What advice can you give to visitor to the Baltic States (to me)?
Try balty curry
To begin with, autumn is not the best choice for the Baltic States. I can only speak for Lithuania though, as I live her myself. So where do I start? Get some warm clothes and an umbrella. That's a must. Then, don't be too surprised if you see too many ';depressed'; people on the street. We are the nation that does not smile. In Lithuania, you could spend most of the time in Vilnius and explore other cities by taking a bus from there. The distance between the cities is not great... just like 100 km to second largest city and another 200 to third largest city. Bus is the best way to travel as trains are not comfy at all and very slow. If you gonna need to use cell phone, it's much better to get those pre paid cards, and u can call whoever to wherever for quite low prices. Things ain't really expensive, but naturally you would pay more in the city center (especially in Vilnius), than some other places. Riga (Latvia) is a bit more colder and a bit more expensive. Language shouldn't be a problem, as most of the younger generation speaks English. If you need any particular info, drop me a line. will be happy to help
Get a Russian Visa and go visit St Petersburg! Great Place!
I went to Latvia %26amp; Lithuania 2 years ago. They are slowly modernising after communism. Some nice old buildings to see, Riga, especially, and several coastal resorts. Train and bus services reasonable. Worth a visit, although it might be a bit cold in autumn.

What advice would you give a fellow traveller embarking on a road trip of the South Island of NZ?
Yes a warm coat is advisable in some areas, even all year round...I'm not sure when you are coming, but its variable..
FYI...the East coast of the South Island is MUCH drier than the west (about 600mm a year in many places...mainly north of Timaru...The west gets up to 9meters of rain...generally further south you go)....so keep that in mind...it mainly rains around the spring/summer time on the West Coast.
The west coast has milder winters and summers than the east/central areas too.

Just the comment on racism....NZ is becoming less white as a nation...we have more than10% native Maori, with a significant portion asian/pacific islanders as well as many immirgrants that come from a variety of places...its very multicultural....albeit mainly in urban centres and the North Island has some towns with much higher Maori populationsWhat advice would you give a fellow traveller embarking on a road trip of the South Island of NZ?
Take your camera, and a rain jacket for the West Coast.What advice would you give a fellow traveller embarking on a road trip of the South Island of NZ?
What about the Racism? What is the Racism like in NZ? This traveler looks like a person of color and NZ is primarily white.
Bring your warm woolies with you, stay away from the sheep, locals get very jealous, remember the roads can be icy and slippery, No sheep jokes, bring a good sense of humour, no need to research, every where is just bliss, and prepare your self for the best food and wine in the world. Oh, and don't bring your love interest, temptation is too great!
Happy travelling.
Whatever else you do , or where ever else you drive to, make sure you stop in Kaikoura and swim with the dolphins. It is a life experience ! Even in winter !
FYI...the East coast of the South Island is MUCH drier than the west (about 600mm a year in many places...mainly north of Timaru...The west gets up to 9meters of rain...generally further south you go)....so keep that in mind...it mainly rains around the spring/summer time on the West Coast.
The west coast has milder winters and summers than the east/central areas too.

Any advice on purchase of a pay-as-you-go mobile phone for a 2-week trip to the UK?
I'll be in York first and want to pick up the phone there (leave in less than a week, so can't do online). Most of the rest of the trip will be in Dorset, out in the countryside. I want to minimize cost, but am more concerned about network reliability and coverage.Any advice on purchase of a pay-as-you-go mobile phone for a 2-week trip to the UK?
You can pick up a basic pay-as-you-go mobile phone at any major store for around 拢30 these days.
I have no knowledge about how reliable the network coverage is out in the Dorset countryside but for 拢30 you wouldn't be losing anything to find out.
Most of the big network providers such as Vodaphone, T-mobile, Orange and O2 etc should have a fair amount of coverage in the area.
You can always inquire at the store before you buy or visit the websites of the companies I mentioned above and contact them.Any advice on purchase of a pay-as-you-go mobile phone for a 2-week trip to the UK?
if you ve got an unblocked phone already you can pick up a sim card for most networks for about a fiver(10 usa dollars),but as for reliability all networks can be sketchy in the countryside,Always have 30p on you for the payphone!!eye makeup

What advice do you have for opening a biz on ebay selling small quantities high quality jewelry?
You would be much better having your own website and sell your jewelry directly. This way you avoid paying the ever-increasing eBay fees and have more control over how you presell your visitors.
Unless your jewelry is highly unique or designer pieces it can be a difficult task trying to sell it on eBay. Jewelry is one of those things that people like to touch and feel on them before they make a decision to buy - eBay doesn't really lend itself to that.
Just my 2 cents...What advice do you have for opening a biz on ebay selling small quantities high quality jewelry?
why don't you ask ebay?What advice do you have for opening a biz on ebay selling small quantities high quality jewelry?
Where are you getting this jewelry? Never mind...better I DON'T know!
good. sell something intereting there like me.
I also run another online business parallel to double up my income from internet.

What advice do you have for people that are snobby and think they are too good to be your friend?
Go find other people who care about all the different color juicy bags you have....What advice do you have for people that are snobby and think they are too good to be your friend?
I think they should just get over themselves if they think they are to good to be your friend. Fact is, or I think so at least, they have something bugging them or they think they aren't good enough so they make it seem like your the person who isn't good enough. I hate it when ppl do that too.What advice do you have for people that are snobby and think they are too good to be your friend?
i used to have a friend then she became very conceded and then i stopped hanging out with her and then everyone started hating her because when ever she saw a mirror she would run up to it and say awww aren't i so beautiful! and then now i mean she still has friends... that hate her behind her back n=but pretend to be her friend because they feel bad for her because everyone wants to fight her or just hates her
Succeed in life and that will be your greatest victory and make sure you just don't waste a second on even a thought of them it'll be like they never existed in the first place so that takes care of that!
Smooches
There is a saying:
It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice.
You don't need people like that in your life. No one is ever good enough for them.
';Get the hell out of my life if I'm too low-class for you. I may not have a high status as you but at least I have a life.';
Something like that I guess.
I don't have advice for them, they wouldn't want it anyway.
But what I say is...sh!t happens, flush it and move on. I have no time for people like that
they will not make a good friend if your referring to yourself i suggest changing your ways, if your referring to someone you wish to be friends with then i recommend seeking another friend
how do you know they're snobby?
maybe they're just super shy
or antisocial, or something.
Wellz just don't be there friend or tellem off luckily i never had a friend like that but 1 but i was hotter i had to let her go she was tryna take my man my girl my pride lolzz hell no ****** get outa here lolzz
Tell them they shouldn't have such high expectations because they aren't worth the dirt they walk on.
Don't waste your time on trying to impress someone who does not want to be your friend. Instead, use that energy to be kind to others and make friends who like you for yourself.
If its a Dude, kick them in the balls (if they have any)
If its an UGLY chick, walk away
If its a HOT chick, kiss them, then say ';You Missed Out, BI*CH';
You have different friends for different reasons. One day in may come in hand to have a snobby friend.
My advice TO those people is, ';you suck';
My advice to someone about those people is ';make other friends';
If they think they are too good to be your friend then you dont want them as your friend anyways... they are nothing but self centered snobs... and I know i wouldnt want to be around that...
no advice at all- they didn't ask for it and they wouldn't listen if I gave it!
IGNORE
i dont have any advice for them, i just ignore them.
Regardless of gender, I kick them in the junk.
I tell them nothing they are to shallow to understand and I would not have friends like that...
Don't need friends like that,
so I don't bother with those people.
They don't want my advice,
so I just ignore them.
If they feel that way, the best advice I would give them would be GO AWAY!
that they rnt gonna get better than this
and i feel bad for their stupidity:P
Good luck finding other friends!
That's OK b/c they will never find a better friend than me and they just fu*ked it up!!
No advice
just a punch in the face

What advice would you give me on running a wig factory?
just 4get it ,,, lets us go 4 a drinkWhat advice would you give me on running a wig factory?
Don't use your own hair as a pattern for a new wig.What advice would you give me on running a wig factory?
Use real hair. Have a separate Wig Catalog available for anyone who has lost their hair due to an illness....get a prescription for a wig as verification. Advertise this with the hospital's, doctors, ect.. Make a web site that you can go to to try out different styles, color's and length's on possibly an Avitar?! Male's, Female's and Children should be included in your designs. Fire anyone who does not agree with this advice!
Quit while you're a head!

How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
Don't always insist that your way is the right way.
Be considerate of your partner's feelings.
If you are upset about something, talk about it but don't yell, scream or blame.
Be honest and be fair.
Say ';I Love you'; everyday even if it's not always easy.
Don't feel that you have to always be joined at the hip with your spouse - both of you should have your own interests and friends and be okay to spend time apart without jealousy.
Don't hold grudges.
Talk about all the big steps before they happen - like big purchases (house, car), big moves (changing jobs or homes, retirement) and big changes (having children) - even though you think you both want the same things, you will find that you have differences and if you work them out before a change, things will go much more smoothly.
The main thing is just the old golden rule - treat your spouse the way that you want to be treated.
Oh - and don't give up at the first sign of trouble. You have to work hard to have something worthwhile and that includes a long, happy marriage.How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
coming from someone who has never been married i think to stay married for life, you have to remember that you are not always going to be ';happily Married';. Marriage is work, and that is why there are so many divorces these days, because no one is willing to work for the person they fell in love with. so just remember that when you do get married, you will have amazing times, and you will also have times where you really have to work to keep your marriage together.How can you stay married for life? Do you have any advice on how to stay happily married?
Staying happily married is a choice. For a marriage to last for life the couple must love each other, communicate and be considerate of each other. Also couples should seek counseling regardless of if they need it or not. Everyone brings baggage to their relationship rather it's small or big baggage. Counseling will help them deal with their partners mood swings. Keeping a healthy and happy marriage together takes hard work.
The fist thing is to choose wisely before you get married. You have to have the same basic value system, and you should have similar interests. With that said, marriage is about caring enough about the other person that you would literally be willing to die for that person. You can never let selfishness rule. If you really evaluate why people don't stay married, whether it's money, infidelity, or a host of other problems, most of them boil down to selfishness. You need to place your spouse's needs ahead of your own. That's not saying to don't do things for yourself, because you do need to take care of yourself and do things for yourself. Just don't do it at the expense of your spouse.
The other bit of advice, never go to sleep until a conflict is resolved. In 25+ years of marriage, my wife and I have never gone 'till the next morning without working things out. There have been some pretty late nights, but in the end we have always come to terms.
The best idea for marriage is just keep doing it... Don't let the bad things break you up. The problem with following this idea, is that someone (who you may be married to) might have other ideas. You may be all gung ho about not fighting about something, but they may want to fight about something...You may be gung ho about moving and they may not be gung ho about moving. It's hard to keep on mind for two different people unless one or the other does a lot of compromise.
My personal response is through healing yourself, so before even entering a relationship you are as wholly yourself as possible (this also implies maturity in age).
Through years of various forms of counseling and self-help books, one of the best resources I've found that contains simplified, practical, effective answers to your complex question are the writings by author Laura Schlessinger. The titles of her books are cheeky, but if you can get beyond them, they contain the jewels for a well-lived marriage.
Tera had a good point that I'd like to elaborate on. She said not to sweat the small stuff, and to ask yourself how important something really is. I'd like to add the thought process I use with this is ';How much is this REALLY going to matter a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, and 5 years from now?'; If the answer is ';not much'; to any of those options, then I try to let it go! It really helps things out.
Also, be sure to respect one another's feelings, and really LISTEN to one another.
Be affectionate, considerate, loving, and tender.
Go on dates with your spouse still on a regular basis.
Read the ';fight fair'; guidelines link I've posted - it works wonders if you follow it!http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/single鈥?/a>
One thing my grandma told my mom and my mom told me was to not sweat the small stuff. Pick your battles. The little things like not replacing the empty toilet paper roll used to drive me nuts. Until my mom gave me the talk about not sweating the small stuff. Before you fight about something ask yourself is it really that major? Is it worth it? Oh and don't go to bed angry. Work it out, listen and communicate with your partner.
Do things together that make you laugh.
Hold hands.
Kiss each other several times a day.
Always say I love you.
Find common interest and do them together.
Participate in his interests.
Make sure he participates in your interests.
Never hold a grudge longer than a few days at most.
Be understanding.
Never let the sexual spark die.
Be adventurous together.
only been married 8 years so not sure if I'm qualified to answer but I'll tell you what I learned:
Focus on what you can do to make things better, not what your spouse does that bothers you.
Talk open and honestly about everything. Even things you think your spouse will get upset about.
Watch how you say things to your spouse (i tend to be sarcastic).
Keep the sex interesting.
Find time to spend alone with each other.
Touch,hug and kiss often.
And remember...marriage is hard work. Its not always easy.
Grow together as a couple or you will drift apart.
Change is inetible you have to change as a couple.
Both for the other not for yourself.
Remember you can't control your spose but it won't work unless both of you want it tobe
Try not to yell when you get mad. Don't get physical...keep a regular sexual pattern...try to keep your vacations planned together. Try to be consistent with each other and in front of the kids. Take Care
Read your bible and live the way Jesus Christ created us to be towards our husband/wife. It may not be easy but God will give you life if you live it according to him.
Honesty is not always the best policy.
Hope for a short life. Other than that there is no hope.
SEX, don't stop having it, and make SURE it's fun for both!
Be considerate of your partner's feelings.
If you are upset about something, talk about it but don't yell, scream or blame.

What is the best advice you were ever given? Did you follow it?
How's that workin out for ya?What is the best advice you were ever given? Did you follow it?
Get out and stay out of debt.
It worked great. I have no debts, am retired, and all my savings are now in fixed annuities (unaffected by the market). My living expense is about $1k a month and that includes property tax, insurance, utilities, food, and some traveling. My income from various sources is several times that and I don't have to work. Spoiling grand kids is great!What is the best advice you were ever given? Did you follow it?
Both my parents and teachers advised me against going into anything BUT Art, since I'd been in art since I was tiny and very virtuous at it. It all happened - this advice given to me, AND STRONGLY - when during the summer between my last High School year and my Freshman year in art-school, I wanted to work eternally for the phone company. Don't ask me why, I don't remember. But working for the phone company became an obsession my parents and teachers broke me out of!
Now that I look back I can understand why they needed to set my head (BACK) on the right track!
How did it work for me?
FABULOUSLY!!!
It was from a book called ';I Am That.'; By Sri Nasargedatta Maharaj. Yes, I have followed it but I had practiced it for years before it finally sank. :)
He said to stop looking for God outside of your own heart. If it is a Guru you seek, seek the Guru that lives within your own heart, and not one which is outside of yourself. In other words, the God within....';seek that.';
Also, ';you can't change the circumstances that surround you, but you CAN change your attitude about it.';
This has made all the difference in my own life all the way around. I dropped everything I had ever heard growing up and began from scratch with reference to God. That is when I began to have success. I can only speak for myself. Also, ';Love your enemy,'; was another great gift from Jesus. :)
There are several pieces of advice actually. ';Be the change you wish to see in the world.'; Gandhi...
I've been given lots of great advice from some very dear people.
But my favorite so far is, ';There is no right or wrong choice you can make, Larissa. So long as you learn from your mistakes.';
That and, ';Dude, if he drives a lambo, he's got a little d*ck. Don't fall for it.';
this is too hard... too much advice given troughout my whole life, so much that i dont even remember... but i hav, was very impressed with the one mentioned i the answer right above mine... ';be the change u want to see in the world'; thats just great... am gonna try and do that and ill let u know how it works out! :D:D
First thing that came to mind is the advice given by a good friend from here in R%26amp;S, in the form of a question:
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Haven't completely followed it yet . . . kinda scared to (lol), but we'll see what happens.
';Never drink from the can you used as an ash tray.';
I try to follow it. There's nothing like a moutful of ash to keep you sniffing soda cans before you take a swig.
It works on metaphorical levels as well, so it makes me feel smart.
If given the choice between being a spectator or a participant, choose spectator every time.
It has kept me out of a lot of trouble over the years...
';Wear a condom';
They however failed to specify that only extra-safe trusted brand condoms comply with this advice
Also, do not ever sleep with a polish woman.
';If wisdom's ways you wisely seek,
Five things observe with care:
To whom you speak,
Of whom you speak,
And how, and when, and where.';
Its working out pretty good so far.
I would assume that the advice that had gotten the best results happens to be the ';best'; advice. I was told to live life, and love. I still have troubles doing this.
';Don't be moody.';
That's when I discovered that I'm just as contrary as my late mother -- she also tended to reject the best advice out of hand, simply because it annoyed her.
the seven p's...
proper, prior, planning, prevents, piss, poor, performance!
Works for everything!
If it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck...it must be a duck.
Leave no room for anyone to talk ; ) And I try to follow it as best I can and you know what? No one can say anything bad about me, because I take care of my business! ha
';Never underestimate the importance of a good pair of gloves and hat.';
Theistic religion is nonsense, don't believe it. Yes.
To never give advice unless it has been asked for.
Whadda think?
Best regards.
Best advice ever, don't get a credit card and no I didn't listen.
Watch out for that trip wire.
Don't pick that. Nah.
if you pick at it, it won't heal.
surprisingly this applies to many things!
';Be who you are, not what others want you to be.';
God wanted me to be a subservient housewife.
No thank you.
it was to choose Life..and yes so far Im following ever time I breathe in and exhale and its going well thanks..
never sign a check your tush can't cash

What is the best advice you would give to a Potty Training Parent?
Please give details about relevent experience with method, etc.What is the best advice you would give to a Potty Training Parent?
As a mother and the head teacher of a toddler class at a large daycare, I'd like to think that I have some experience with this. First of all, never try to force the child to use the ';potty';. As most parents know, trying to make your child do something only makes them NOT want to do it even more. Watch for signs that they are ready....telling you when they need a daiper change, showing interest in a ';potty';, etc. Buy a potty chair so that it's not as difficult, or scary(But Mom, I'll fall in and it will eat me!) for a toddler. Try to let them spend time with other children their age that are already potty trained and make small comments about how they use the ';big boy/girl'; potty. Praise them for trying to use the potty and reward them when they actually do use the potty. You don't have to give them presents or candy. You can give them some extra ';mommy time';, read them their favorite book, or play that game with them that they've been bugging you about. Basically, make a big deal about it when they actually go peepee in the potty. Show them the neat underwear they could wear when they use the potty. (this one really worked on my son when he found that he could wear batman underwear instead ';baby daiper';). Other then that, just be patient. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to be comfortable with it. I have a 4 year old in my daycare class that still is completely content with wearing daipers. Good luck and happy training!What is the best advice you would give to a Potty Training Parent?
I have 2 children. A girl and a boy. My daughter learned #1 first. My son #2 first. Also different ages. I got a potty chair. Put it in the bathroom. Let them pick out big girl-boy underwear. Practiced with a doll first. I get a paper towel and wet it. Put it in my hand. Put it under the doll and sqeeze. Then Yeah look dolly went pee pee in the potty. Give dolly a sticker. The children then wanted thier own stickers. Put your childs name on a piece of paper tape it to the wall and you are in business. Everytime they go they get a sticker and lots of kisses.
Be patient and don't push too hard.
Don't try to get your child trained by a certain age. they will do it in their own good time. Introduce your little one to thier little potty and then model the right behavior. Let them see you ';going potty.'; It might seem weird at first, but it's the way they learn.
Sitting them on the potty when you know they are going to go (you should have a good idea of their schedule)....and put them on it before and after bed and naptimes. The first time they go make a HUGE deal about it. Act like a complete idiot....clap and jump up and down....go get daddy and tell him too. Praise your child...then let it all happen. Never punish your child for accidents, just let them know that ';potty (or poo) goes into the toilet.';
Good luck!
keep alot of paper towel handy and be patient
Wear rubber gloves and a peg on your nose.
My best answer is don't force it. I have 3 girls and they all trainned at different ages. When they start staying dry all night that would be a good time to buy a training potty. There are also some great books and videos now too.
Be patient and give lots of praise
Patience, Patience and Patience - otherwise you will be patient.
WASH your hands before touching anything of MINE!
watch where you step loads of wipes and try to make it like a fun thing for the child.like sit in front of them and roll a ball to each other.untill there used to sitting on the potty
Be patient. It is true that they will go when they are ready. Trying to rush them or punish them for accidents will only make them more defiant. Hang in there.
What worked for me may not work for you and what may work for you may not work for someone else. I had three boys. I trained them all the same way but they was trained according to their development stages. I would just do like it has been done for decades, sit those toddlers on the pot for about an hour and talk them through it as though they could comprehend. But I would sit them on the pot several times a day. All three stopped wetting and pooping on themselves at different levels. Don't worry, he/she will get tired of mommy nagging them sooner or later. Some mature faster then others. As you and your child adventure into this training for a good period of time, try switch ing up and take him/her to a bigger pot, like the commode for instance, but be there to assist him/her. They will then feel like they are maturing and is showing improvement. Reward them when they do good. I'm not comparing children to animals but look how animals learn to be obedient so quickly and notice how fast they learn when their trainer rewards them!
Let them choose the potty,big boy theme/girl panties.
Place potty in family area %26amp; casually place child on for
however long he wants to sit. It's all about fun %26amp; games
Child may reject chair for awhile, that's ok...Put favorite
dolly or plush animal toy on potty. Wheeee, what a big
thrill... partytime...
But no scolding when child has accidents.
A hug/kiss/star/sticker works well for any effort...
Also, when the red-letter day arrives, phone Daddy, Grandma,
Aunt Jill,
and share the exciting news !
Patience is it a boy or a girl? If its a boy put cheerios in the toliet and have him shoot them make a game of it. I have a 4 year old that I potty trained at 2 it took about 2 weeks you must be consistent
Make it a party!!! If they go have a potty dance that you do after make it a big deal they need a fun reason to do it another way,,have those little noise maker things and have a little parade from the bathroom to a fun treat.
First of all I hope you are a very patient person because you will need all that you have. I have tried many different methods I will list them below and let you know my results.
1. I reccomend getting a potty chair, at first my son hated it so I put it in our family room where all his toys and the tv is he was more willing to use it. every 15 min or so I would make him sit on the potty seat eventualy he went (don't forget to praise your child) also when they go poppy for the first time they may freek out just reasure them that it is ok and that they did a great job.
2. I did try pull ups unfortunately my son would go to the bathroom in them anyways and he really didn't care that he could feel it on his skin he got a rash, so what I did was buy him underware and also the gerber training paints that have the vinyl on the outside that way when he did wet his pants he felt it didn't like it and didn't ruine my furniture. (don't forget keep making your child go every 15 min or so) Honestly perservierience will help train them faster. If you slack off you will loose everything you have worked so hard for.
3. When it comes to using the big potty I waited until he asked to use it then I bought a potty seat, and a stool. by that time he was telling me when he had to go and had few accidents.
4. If you have a boy he will learn to stand up and pee by watching your husband it was so weird one day my son just went in the bathroom and started peeing with daddy and the rest is history (thank God)
I also found the DVD Poty Training With Bear (bear in the big blue house) helpful. And your library may have resorces you can use.
I'm sure you will do great, (and don't forget that you don't see adults walking in diapers so your child will learn to use the potty eventually)
GOOD LUCK

Be inconsistent.What small bit of advice can you give me that will make me a better poker player?
You might want to check out this free poker ebook. It has a ton of information to help you improve your online poker game.What small bit of advice can you give me that will make me a better poker player?
PATIENCE
Be patient. I win first, second or third in one-third of all on-line tournies I play in. Be patient. With 10 players, for example, you often have to have great cards to win a hand. It is more unpredictable. Let the poorer players make their mistakes and chase cards. When it gets down to 5 or 6 players it gets easier to win.
If it is just a regular game, not a tournament, you still need to have patience and study the other people. They have trends. If you get more experience, you will know how to appear to have a trend...then break it to throw people off.
By the way, reading books is good as suggested. Do not follow the advice to ';follow your gut.'; Play smart, not with emotion.
-Always play your best
-dont play online, unless its for real money.
-forget books, experince is a better teacher
-dont play by the ';books'; or ';what you should do'; (all the time).
sometimes play what your gut says.
-you dont need a poker face unless your a professional (even then you really don't need it)
-The only good wired pair is a queen or higher
-always play aggressive
-play lots of hands in the begining when the blinds are cheap
-Learn to play both POSITIONS and the PLAYERS. If you play like you have rockets every hand then you will be a force to be reconded with. Your cards have little to do with your game play.
-Learn when to give up (a bad bet)
-Lots of people will say fold lots of bad hands - this is your perogitive. **I play almost all my hands.
-Learn to be a good winner as well as a good loser
GOOD LUCK!

The best advice I would give you is to learn hand selection. What I mean is that you have to know which hands to play in what situations. Phil Helmuth says that you should only play the top ten hands. AA,kk,qq, ak,aq,jj,1010,kq. Hands like these. Also, if you are in a very early position you want very strong hands, when in a late position you can loosen you standards slightly. If you can master this this will immediatley make you a better player. I see way to many times players that will play just about any hand just because they love the action. There is a nmae for those types of players. ATM, they spit out money regulary. I think the best way to play is to play very tight, only play good hands, but when you do play, play aggressively, get the most money in the pot, especially when you are pretty sure that you have the best hand. IF you think you are beat, you probably are, do not put money in a pot when you are pretty sure you are beat, unless you think you can win by bluffing. Checking is a weak play, unless you check raise. Raising is usually your best play. Vary your raises, don't let someone know that you raise a lot with premium hands, you will not make as much money as possible. Folding is often you best play. You should play about 1 out of how many ever players are at the table. 10 Players at the table, you should play about 1 out of every 10 hands, on average. Protect you stack especially when you are ahead. Don't criticize anyone else's play, if they don't know what they are doing, take advantage of the fact. Have fun!
play within your comfort zone. If your out of it your not going to play your best.
dont listen to that guy infinites for one some other advice will be just study the math and psychology expecially the math and write down a plan that you will use in every single situation memorise it be perfect then forget everything
My advice is not to play for money. Playing poker is fun and a fine pastime, playing poker for money is foolish.
show no emotion...enjoy urself...even if its really serious if u relax a bit i find i play better!

The best advice I would give you is to learn hand selection. What I mean is that you have to know which hands to play in what situations. Phil Helmuth says that you should only play the top ten hands. AA,kk,qq, ak,aq,jj,1010,kq. Hands like these. Also, if you are in a very early position you want very strong hands, when in a late position you can loosen you standards slightly. If you can master this this will immediatley make you a better player. I see way to many times players that will play just about any hand just because they love the action. There is a nmae for those types of players. ATM, they spit out money regulary. I think the best way to play is to play very tight, only play good hands, but when you do play, play aggressively, get the most money in the pot, especially when you are pretty sure that you have the best hand. IF you think you are beat, you probably are, do not put money in a pot when you are pretty sure you are beat, unless you think you can win by bluffing. Checking is a weak play, unless you check raise. Raising is usually your best play. Vary your raises, don't let someone know that you raise a lot with premium hands, you will not make as much money as possible. Folding is often you best play. You should play about 1 out of how many ever players are at the table. 10 Players at the table, you should play about 1 out of every 10 hands, on average. Protect you stack especially when you are ahead. Don't criticize anyone else's play, if they don't know what they are doing, take advantage of the fact. Have fun!
play within your comfort zone. If your out of it your not going to play your best.
dont listen to that guy infinites for one some other advice will be just study the math and psychology expecially the math and write down a plan that you will use in every single situation memorise it be perfect then forget everything
My advice is not to play for money. Playing poker is fun and a fine pastime, playing poker for money is foolish.
show no emotion...enjoy urself...even if its really serious if u relax a bit i find i play better!
Do you have any advice about selling paintings at an art market?
These answers do offer some great advice but you could go a cheaper route and do less work, while at the same time getting more prospects who are actually interested in purchasing your art work....Sell it online. There are many avenues for selling your art work but I would advise staying away from sites like Ebay and the usual methods of selling. People there want a good deal and aren't going to give you a good price. I would advise you consider checking out http://www.sellartonline.org and read up on what that guy has to say about selling art online. He makes a full time living of it and he's pretty good. Also consider checking out ConceptArt.com....its a great art forum with lots of contacts you could make, and experienced artist who would be more than willing to help and give you advise on selling at a gallery.
Hope this helps!Do you have any advice about selling paintings at an art market?
Make a website. If you get people to like your stuff, they will buy it on your site. If you want to sell in an art market then more people will know you. This will cut down on your commute. Good luck with your sales!Do you have any advice about selling paintings at an art market?
mat and frame 'em.
A good frame job...heck even a cheap frame job can really sell a painting.
Be there. Be friendly, talk to people. Don't be pushy, just make conversation and make them feel welcome to your booth or stall or whatever. If they feel like you're a friend they're more likely to buy.
Have answers. anticipate every question about your art in advance so you can be ready with a quick reply...don't blow people off, even if it's a dumb question.
';What were you thinking when you did this one?';
';What's this one about?';
';Do you think this would go good with my couch? It's blue.';
Be ready for anything.
Good advice above!
Also, pay attention to the placement of things.
Cheap things (under $100) are ';hot'; items.
Maybe place them towards the front of your stall to get attention and bring people in.
And I agree at least say hi to everyone who comes in. When I visit other stalls I hate when they ignore me. Since I am young, I always feel like they are ignoring me because they figure I'm not someone they are going to be able to make a sale to me. So at that point any chance of me buying something goes out the window.
Also, check with whoever is running the fair and they may have specific guidelines or advice (i.e. does the fair run until after dark? Because then you will need lighting. Then, is power provided?)
All great answers so far, I'm impressed. An addition to having a list of answers ready for some questions is to practice those answers to sound calm and respectful. A lot of people really are blithering idiots and they'll ask retartded questions without meaning to sound insulting so practice not being insulted or exasperated beforehand ccause you will hear some doozies!
Be honest in your work! Be authentic! Someone who really loves art is looking for works born from a personal and profound research on the human condition. That can be communicated through a true art work. Then it is worth discussing a price, but mainly it is a matter of genuine concern. Without that, art is a mere lie.

What is the best advice about life (anything), that you think a girl should know?
I just wanted some good morales.What is the best advice about life (anything), that you think a girl should know?
Never do what you do not want to do. Stick to your beliefs no matter what. Don't care what other people think of what you do, do what you want and feel is right. I'll give you an example, I was once offered pot, I said ';you ever offer me that sh*it, and I will never talk to you again';... never again did they ask me. I remained a virgin until I got married at 24 years old, a LOT of people critisized me for it and told me to just have fun.. didn't listen and I do NOT regret it. A lot of people didn't believe I remained a virgin either.. but you know what? I didn't care. My virginity and how I felt about it was between me, God, and my husband... who cares what others say?
Just be yourself, and don't let anyone pressure you into anything.. no matter what it is.What is the best advice about life (anything), that you think a girl should know?
I believe every girl should be brought up with a sense of self, to know who she is, what she wants and how to achieve her dreams.To also know that there is no person on this earth that is perfect and no one can make her happy except herself. With that knowledge a girl can become a woman and achieve anything she should wish in life.
I'd say, know yourself, love yourself and don't let anyone else change that! Don't let anyone tell you how to feel or what's right or wrong. Go with your heart! Give and receive love. Treat others the way you expect to be treated! And don't do drugs! :)
Boys are like pebbles, there are plenty of them you will meet along the way so don't settle for pebbles, find a ROCK among them.
identify who your friends are and if they are really worth hanging around with
Always think about the consequenses of your actions before you do anything you'll regret later. This includes things like smoking, drinking, sex, buckling into to peer pressure, etc. You get the idea.
I grew up in the 1950's, and my parents all taught me right from wrong at an early age. Associate with people of good moral stock, and you can go wrong. When I was a kid of 9 and throughout my life, because of my parent's moral upbringing, I was never steered into doing what is immoral, or not right. I sincerely hope that you will heed the advise I am giving you.
Be yourself, don't let anyone pressure you into doing what you don't want to do, be a positive person, get an education. Don't let people put you down because you are a woman, we should be treated as equally as men. Stand up for what you believe in and stand up for your friends when they are right. I can't think of anything else, just smile and enjoy life!!! :0)
You are never too young to start a Roth IRA.
yea i think that is rite girl can know it
