I'm kind of in the same situation.
Except he's thinks of me as FAMILY, and he's going out with my ex-best friend.

But yea, just get his trust, learn more about him, etc.
You've heard all of that.
It could happen one day.
But DON'T FORCE IT.

Girlies, I refuse to let this thread fall to the deep, dark, dead pages of the board, but I don't have any pressing issues. Hmm...


bvelaa- hang out w/ him, talk to him. if it doesn't progress, it's just not meant to be. i know, that hurts sometimes but realizing that is better than getting into a shitty relationship and getting hurt. trust me, i'm young, but i know. =) good luck!

We need to bring this thread back!
So... How is everyone?

[the_real_paul_anka]

Personally, I am fabulous except for being a little sick, but I've the day off school. Yay! I love fall break! haha. I can't think of anything to post, that's a first! wow. I need something crazy to happen so we can start a looooong discussion and revive this thread. hmm...

[Seni]

hm...thinking about problems, thinking about problems...

Problems are never here when you need them  lol, well, thankfully, I have no major problems. *knock on wood*

[gilmorefriend]

My problem I'm not complaining about. I'm testing for my next black belt rank (Taekwondo) 4 months early. Now I have to learn extra stuff really fast. And I have a lot of homework.

  i found a problem to revive the Girl Talk thread.

I have the worst cramps ever. I am dying. I feel like I am being ripped apart from the inside out. It's insane.
I've taken ibuprofen, i had very little if any caffeine and sugar, i just stood under a scorching hot shower for 20 minutes.
IDk what else to do. I wanna curl up in a ball and cry. The thing is, these just started a few months ago...I never had cramps, not for 4 year...now all of the sudden, I wanna sleep for like a month. UGH.

Anything you all can think of that will help relieve them?! Please!

and, sorrry, if you didn't wanna hear about my cramps, i know it's kinda ewwww, but eh. 

Oh, and gilmorefriend- Good luck! i'm sure you'll do great, keep us posted!
Seni- it's awesome that you're having good luck for now...hope it keeps up.

Okay, i'm going to bed. night all!

[gilmorefriend]

I didn't make the basketball team. But, we might have a 2nd team, so I might be on that one.
I have no advice. Well, I guess get a lot of sleep, and watch a movie or something to keep your mind off it. That's what I do.
I hope it gets better! Last month, I felt like I was going to die then. I was all cold, and I felt really sick.
By the way, I'm Amber. You can call me anything though.
Thanks! I need to work on my forms a little bit, knife defense, and one steps.

I'm not sure howold you are, but you could try going on the pill, or the DP, they help cramps. Well, It  hink you don't get a period at all on the DP.
I get really bad cramps and incredibly sick when Im greetning Aunt Flo. I can't take ibruprofen or other anti-inflammatories, cuz they mix badly with my meds, so I have to take codiene, which unfortunatly jut makes me sicker! So I totally know how you feel.
Try upping your dose of ibroprofen, just by a little, your body builds up an immunity, so the same ammount you used to take won't work as well. Try a hot water bottle on our belly (never worked for me, but people reccomend it!) and try working out. Exercise not only releases muscles tension (The reason for the pain) it also releases endorphines, which are a natural painkiller. If they're randomly really bad and never have been before, you should go to your doc and get checked that it's not for something like endometriosis, which needs treatment.
Hope you feel better soon!!

Hmm..about the cramps..I don't know. Luckily, I don't have so bad cramps only like the first day and any pain killer solves it. I used to take the pain much harder, almost like you said, just curl up in a ball and cry, but I got used to them so now it's pretty good. I do know people who get really really sick. And I have no idea what to recommend...but try what Kate said, a hot water bottle or working out, that should help, as far as I know. I hope you get better too. Those days really suck, don't they...*counting days before about 50th birthday  *

Amber - I hope you get everything done, I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Maybe this should go on the beauty Q and A thread but I trust you guys  I'm trying to stop biting my nails and so far so good but they brake and are really thin. Anything international product  I can buy or something homemade lol?

[Miranda]

My nails break easily too, I just buy a nail hardener or make sure they are polished with a good brand (I just bought Bourjois and it's great!)

[the_real_paul_anka]

Amber- hi! i'm jillian/jay. which ever. and sorry about basketball!

lovefiend- first off, thank you for the tons of advice. and secondly, i'm 17, or will be saturday...=)


i've honestly considered talking to my mom about going on the pill. my cramps have been horrible and my periods in general have been crappy. the ibuprofen isn't doing much anymore. i have to take like 4 and it barely helps. and i can't use a hot water bottle because i have a lot of problems with my muscles and tendons and ligaments and all that stuff and heat makes it all worse. ecercising does help but i don't have the energy. lol. that's a bad excuse!

Seni- there is a product called No Bite, it comes in a clear nail polish bottle with a Red cap, it has a stop sign on the front, it is a gross tasting, clear polish. it's so bad that i was gagging the first time i used it. if you use it for a few weeks, you start to remember how nasty it tastes and you'll stop biting. you can buy it at Sally's Beauty Supplies, if you have that around you, i'm not sure where you are from.

Thanks so much guys, i appreciate it! I'm gonna go do some homework now.

[Lovefiend]

Yeah, 17's old enough to be on the pill, you should try that for awhile

As for the nails, make sure  you get lots of protein!!! If  your nails are weak it's a sure sign that your not getting enough protein and/or calcium

[the_real_paul_anka]

i'm thinking about it.
i've heard that the pill makes you gain some weight when you first start it?
no fun, but that's better than this crap.
i wanna go on the one where you only get 4 periods a year.
i could take this 4 times a year...ha.

[Lovefiend]

Depends on the type of pill, and not all people get the same side effects. Most pills have sugar pills that you take for around 5 days of the month, so that you can have your period, the way to skip a period is to not take them, and move onto the next real pill. But you go throughpills faster, and each period you skip lowers your fertility in the future!
