Whats the best hair straightening protector and straightening balm/cream ?
I want to protect my hair when i straighten it and i want it to stay straight for a good amount of the day.

You know at the end of the day, you have to look at the bigger picture. Love is fine, great. . but you have to decide if you want to ride the roller coaster the duration of your relationship. One day things are fine, the other you wake up to ';I'm leaving, I don't love you anymore.'; And you also have a child to consider in the middle of this inconsistency.'; You said he has been there for you, but you say your ';gut'; tells you to leave, and it's speaking to you for a reason, . .denial is not a river in Egypt. Honey, your gut is the closest thing to God whispering in your ear-- God gives women a gift he gives no other, the gift of intuition because we become wives and mothers. My daughter is 16 and one thing I constantly tell her is from the Bible Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23). You let someone start dragging your heart around and YOU will be a mess, angry, bitter, insecure, heart-broken, cynical. . start giving more thought to the choices you make, they not only influence you, but that baby you have. .think of her. You will be the one setting the example.

I am 22 years. I am currently working on my master in a small public university outside of Washington DC because I got scholarship to study there. I am a very good girl. I never have a boyfriend or engage in sexual activities.
My host mom is 53 years old. She is a loving person and very nice to me. She went to good university. She divorced and has dated over 30 guys in her life.
The problem is that we seem to have difference views in life.
She always say:
1. She is smart because she went to good college. I am not smart because my college is small and must be easy.
2. She always convince me to have a boyfriend or sex. She think I am so inexperience and naive about the world.
I knew she does not intend to hurt my feeling, but it does hurt me sometimes. What can I do in this situation? Do you think she is right about this---I am naive and inexperience about the world.
Thank you so much for your help.Please advice---10 points for the best answer---Thank you so much for your help.?
You're seeing two things: Egocentric ideas and Ethnocentric ideas. You're very smart because although you may not have known the name for them, you realize that your host mother may not be correct.
A person is egocentric when they can only understand or see things from their point of view. Your host mother is only seeing things based on her life. She doesn't understand how you can have different thoughts.
She sounds unhappy because she was divorced and is living alone. It sounds like she feels like she has lived a really hard life and thinks that nice people will be hurt in life. Hurt like she was. So she wants you to go out there and defend yourself and hurt others before you get hurt.
It also sounds like she is jealous because you're so young. If she was your age, she probably would have done things differently. She wouldn't end up where she is now. She thinks that by telling you what to do, she can live through you.
She probably won't stop. No one likes to be called unhappy and jealous so if I were you, I wouldn't say that.
Perhaps you can say, ';I know you think I don't experience as much as I should but I DO experience things. I experience making choices. I don't let people tell me what to do and that makes me stronger. Please respect how I feel about this.';
THEN you should listen to the advice she has to give you. Maybe ask her to make a list of all the things she wants you to do. Go through the list and pick out the things that you would feel comfortable with doing and cross out the things that would make you feel uncomfortable.
For example: Her list may look like:
1. Drink alcohol.
2. Date your neighbor.
3. Miss class one day.
From that list, think about what you could do and what you won't do. Agree to do some of these things if she agrees to not talk about it so much.
Secondly, she's ethnocentric because you two come from two different worlds. You two value different things.
She values experience while you value good behavior. You BOTH are right. If she starts making fun of you or calling you names just say, ';I believe that I can live a happy life the way I am currently behaving but thank you for trying to help me.';
If she keeps hurting your feelings, talk to her about it.
Ask questions:
When were you the happiest? (It probably was when she was first married and not having sex with everyone else).
Why do think this will help me or make me happier?
Ask questions about her life. If she is able to tell you about how she felt when she was younger, she may be too busy remembering she'll forget all about your life.Please advice---10 points for the best answer---Thank you so much for your help.?
She is wrong if she truly thinks she is smarter or more wise than yourself.. but she is correct that you are naive. Being naive isn't necessarily a bad thing though... while I do agree with your host mom that you getting a boyfriend isn't a bad idea.. you will find your experience and wisdom with sex when you are ready for it. followed by 2 minutes of pain and a wonderment of what the big deal was lol (small joke .. I couldn't resist) ... one day you'll think sex isn't that big of a deal... but don't feel you have to rush to become so worldly.
no, i don't think that she is right...you should tell her that you are actually the smart one because you know that people have different views in the world and you acknowledge that, whereas she tries to convince you of her one-sided view on the world based upon her own life choices...you have not given into peer pressure and have made smart choices....you chose to go to a college that you have a scholarship for and that is a smart choice, now you wont have to pay so much money back from loans...you are a smart and head-strong girl who should trust your gut and understand that others who live different lives may feel bad about their choices and thus try to turn it around and criticize you and make you live a life like their's....keep up with your beliefs and morals.

Breastfeeding mommies!!! advice? 10pts best answer!!!?
i nursed my son a couple years ago and had absolutely NO luck with the manual breast pump that i got as a gift...i didn't want to buy one myself since the one i had didn't seem to work and they are a bit pricey. i ended up manually expressing when i absolutely needed to and that was way too much effort for not so much milk!! i'm worried about buying one too because i'm a SAHM so i won't be working and the baby will pretty much be with me ALL the time, but it was the same with my son and i still needed to pump a little bit. plus i want to let my son help feed her once in a while, i think that would be nice and a good bonding experience for him and the new baby.
do you pump or do you have a pump that has worked for you? i need suggestions on the best pump for a good price...
Breastfeeding mommies!!! advice? 10pts best answer!!!?
For your needs, I would suggest the Madela mini-electric. Much less expensive that the professional models, but much more efficient than a manual pump. Great for pumping the occasional bottle. It is battery operated and AC adaptable. I had one given to me and I used it when my son was first born. When I went back to work, I sprung for the AMEDA Just My Style ($250), but the Madela mini-electric was perfect for the occasional bottle when I was home with my son. I think they run about $50. I wouldn't rent, becasue if you plan to breastfeed long term (12 months) you may want to pump a bottle here and there over a period of time.Breastfeeding mommies!!! advice? 10pts best answer!!!?
I personally love my medela pump. It has worked great wonders for me. I was even able to avoid engorgement. They are very spendy, but worth the money. If someone you know has one, and she is okay with sharing then ask if you can give hers a try before you buy. But keep in mind that not all women are able to excrete milk with a pump, since pumps dp not work the same as baby.
Good Luck
The Medela Breast Pumps are the best. I have the double pump electric Medela Pump in Style. At first it will be kinda hard to get any out. Maybe 2 or 3 ounces total, but eventually you will get used to it and be able to pump like a pro.
medela is the best! its a lot of money but definitely worth it. they have all kinds of accessories. you can also get it for free through wic if ur not working or even rent it from the hospital! good luck!
If you are enrolled in the WIC program they will give you one to use free of charge. If you dont participate in WIC look it up it is well worth it.
if you absolutly need one i recomend The First Years Natural Deluxe Single Electronic Breast Pump its $50.00 but it works great there more from the same store and everyone i've gotten there has worked great
rent one from a hospital or medical supply place they work much better
Three things.
First, pumping is never going to be as effective as nursing, regardless of how you pump.
Second, electric pumps are much better at expressing than a manual pump. I used an Evenflo Comfort Select to pump exclusively for 2 months and we did okay. It is a cheaper pump that I wouldn't recommend for long term use, but for an occasional pumping here and there it's great. I bought mine for $40 at Walmart.
Third, feeding a baby isn't the only way your son can bond with his new little brother/sister. Since parenting is all about setting a positive example for our children, it might be best if you teach your son that babies feed from their mommies because it's what's best for them. There's no reason that anyone besides you needs to be feeding the baby just to bond. Encourage your son to bond with the baby in other ways. Your question makes it sound like your son is late toddler/early preschooler age. A child that young isn't going to care less whether they can feed the baby or not, especially if they know that babies are fed by their mommies. A young child doesn't have it ingrained in his mind that the best way to bond with the baby is to feed it, so he'll be fine doing other things instead.
All letting your son feed the baby is going to do is make it so that he wants to do it more often. You're going to be telling him that the baby eats from you, except when you want to make him feel special and let him feed the baby because it will help him bond with the baby. Then all of a sudden you have a 2 or 3 year old asking if he can feed the baby all of the time because that's how he bonds with the baby and what you taught him is special. If you absolutely insist that your son be able to feed the baby, it will help if you only do it while you are gone doing something else, meaning that you aren't there to feed the baby. That way you aren't sending your son mixed messages.
Edit: Oops.. Mother to Mackenzie, I meant to give you a thumbs up, not a thumbs down.
I bought a Lansinoh dual electric and had problems with not getting enough milk, the company worked with me but still didnt get enough especially with me developing severe mastitis 2x. I now have a Medela that WIC gave me and it works great. Ive been pumping since she was 3 days old, she is now 6 months, she never latched once my milk came in. Medelas r pricey but I went with a decent price one and didnt work as good, so my experience is the most price the better quality. Make sure they r also BPA free.
first make sure not to bottle feed for the first 6 weeks... you can pump but don't give bottle as might cause nipple confusion
I used the medela dual electric pump.. not sure of the name...
i just put the pump to both my breasts and turned it on... it had adjustments for strength....I felt like a milk cow... but at first once my milk arrived I was able to get 3-5 oz at least from each breast after feeding my baby... however once I stopped pumping and exclusively nursed I was only to maybe get 3-5 oz total....
pumping does mess with your milk supply...
moreover, I did co-sleep and baby sucked on a breast the entire night... and i alternated breasts during the night... but in the morning I had one very full rock hard breast that I had to pump for an oz before I could even consider nursing him on it....
you can also mix pumpings... example.. you pump 2oz, fridgerate, pump another 2oz later you can mix and have 4oz
my cousin had WIC nd they only gave her a manual pump... it stunk!!! meaning it was an awful pump!!!
I have a medela single electric(80) and an Avent Isis Manual (50). I love the Isis! I have two actually. It's comfy and has worked better and faster then the electric. I pumped 7.5 ounces this morning in abot 15 minutes from one side. I go to school full time so I use it pretty often. I recommend it to everyone and the LC from my hospital recommends it too unless you really want to spend 300 on one that may or may not work for you.
i know you said you didnt have luck with the manual. i want to see if you've tried the advent isis manual? it worked for me.. and it got just as much milk out as the medela pump in style im borrowing. the electirc breast pumps are much nicer and they are more constant. i would reccommend any double electric for a good price. like i said i use the medela pump in style.. they are expensive so im borrowing. you can buy the parts that actually touch your breast and the accessorie kit for $25 dollars ebay. i recommend that if you are going to rent one or borrow one if you could.stella mccartney make up

Is doctors advice ALWAYS best?
my son has cystic fibrosis and he has congestion problems, no fever though. he was having a really hard time last night so i took him to the emergency room. they basically said there was nothing they could do and to just keep him as comfortable as possible. i took him to his specialist today and it was a totally different story. he gave me steroids for his lungs, antibiotics, breathing treatments that have to be done like every 3 hours and thats ontop of the other stuff he gets normally for his CF
i just feel like this is a lot to be putting a 5 month old through and worried that these medications could have serious side effects on him in the future. are my worries valid?Is doctors advice ALWAYS best?
i went through 3drs telling me nothing was wrong with my baby... she slept only an hr a day, broken up into 20min naps, and scream the rest of the day she was awake!!! she was doing this forever. everyone said i was spoiling her; however, i just knew something wasnt right! we ended up taking her to the emergency room, to find out she has the TEXTBOOK symptoms of silent reflux. so, how could so many drs overlook this? it was pathetic! so i went to another dr, and didnt mention anything other than her symptoms, and he knew it was reflux form the start, so we stayed with him. my daughter ended up having severe complications, form absolutely uneducated drs! and what gets worse is one of those was a specialist!!! unbelievable!! anyways, do your own research online, and dont take no for an answer, if you believe somethings wrong, because mamas always know best!!!! also, i was uneasy about medication on a young baby, but now i realize sometimes they just need it! use your gut, and try the things you feel are right!Is doctors advice ALWAYS best?
yes ur worries are valid every mother worries when her child is sick and ur son has a medical problem and congestion..so u are pumping him full of twice as many of drugs as u usually do..i always ask the doctors about side effects before the prescribe anything..if they dont give me the answers i want i come home and look it up on the internet..look on webmd they explain the possible side effects and the way it might effect u in the future..i hope this helps u
Being a doc is like any other job, some give a sh, some don't. Some have other motivations, some don't. The best thing to do would be to take the advice that you got from both, then do your own research to see which one sounds more reasonable. Don't hesitate to question the heck out of your doc and show him what you read. Also, see what works for your baby.
Keep in mind all doctors base their course of actions on their OPINION, so if you go to another doctor, he may suggest different treatments or medications. Seek a second opinion to see if there are other options-
I would think they would have consulted with his specialist. Even in the middle of the night. I would be asking the hospital why they didn't. The doctor in charge sounds a bit incompetent.
I would get a second opinion. Always do your own research because no, a doctor's advice is NOT always what's best. You are his mother, and you should trust your instincts.

SPOT scars..advice on best foundation, ect? help please(:?
I'm nearly 15 and wear quite alot of make-up on my face. This is only because marks left by scars on face;/ I want to change this and start to wear less without noticing the scars. Any advice on the best foundation for looking 'natural', and not having to wear alot but enough to cover pink scars from spots?
any suggestions of ways to get rid of the scars? I'm currently trying 'Bio-oil' but seems to be taking quite long. I was thinking of getting a facial peel but not sure if this would help, and it's quite expensive so.. any suggestions would be appreciated:)
I'm from the UK (if that helps). Thanks in advance.
xxSPOT scars..advice on best foundation, ect? help please(:?
Hello!
I am a Beauty Therapist and worked with a few different skin products. The best I have to say is Dermalogica. I think when people get breakouts they use things too harsh for their skin which are full of chemicals such as clearasil which tends to over dry the skin and therfore encouraes the skin to produce more oil/sebum. I also had problem skin growing up through my teenage years but I found that actualyl my skin was senstive so I tried the ultracalming cleanser from Dermalogica and the active moist as my moisturiser. The active moist is perfect as it give you the right amount of moisture for combination type skin and also help close up the large pores.
If you do try Dermalogica remember for everything you use you only need a pea size amount each time, a little goes a long way and should last you ages!
Now for covering up, Well I must have tried almost every foundation going and finally after many years and wasting lots of money I have finally found what I think is the perfect foundation.
I use bare escentuals mineral foundation, comes in loads of colours, they sell at most debenhams stores, its great because completely natural minerals that you can layer on your skin depending on how much coverage you would like. I also use a smaller brush and use it to cover up blemishes is certain areas. They do also do their own concealer though.
Again a little goes a long way and should not bring you out in any spots, it feels light and you can even wear it to bed because it is so gentle on your skin.
Scars are hard to get rid of but will fade slightly over time. I would recommend maybe trying bodyshop for a vitamin E serum to put on the blemishes areas at night. Vitamin E has got very high healing abilities and meant to be great for scarring.
Hope this all helps and good luck :)SPOT scars..advice on best foundation, ect? help please(:?
I'm 13, and I have spot scared on my face too. I use face clensers like Garnier, Clean%26amp;Clear ect. Then I use the Natural Collections make-up from Boots, simply because it's really good and doesn't damage your skin as much as normal make-up like Rimmel London or Miss Sixty does.
I hope I helped :-)

Going to the Big Chill for the first time, any advice on the best place to camp etc...Thanks!?
use tangerine fields - it is a company that set up the tent etc for you and pack it away afterwards brilliant - means you get the best pitches and get to chill and listen to the music not have to worry about the tent.
Can some wise women please advice me on which store brand diapers and formula are best.?
I have an 11 month old. I would love to keep giving her formula till she is at least 15 months.She is now on similac go and grow which she loves and wears pampers cruisers during the day ( they leak) and huggies overnite at night. BUt all this is getting expensive. She is a big girl(24lb at 9mons) and wear size 5 diapers(big bum too). Hear the store brand diaper sizes can be tricky.
Thank you.Can some wise women please advice me on which store brand diapers and formula are best.?
The low down on Diapers:
Name brand and store brand are actually very different. They have different methods of absorbtion and leak prevention. The more expensive name brand absorb with little gel like beads and spun cotton liners. Cheaper diapers do not have the gel beads, but they use a better quality cotton which is woven rather than spun. The tight weave works better for leak prevention, and the beads work better to absorb faster. Another differance is the outer edge of the diaper. The more expensive ones have a leak barrier which is about 1/2 inch raise from the diaper and has elastic qualities. Store brands barriers are only about 1/4 inch, and do not have any elasticity to them. Another thing to think about is the way the fastening tabs work. Some are just sticky like tape, and one they are down they can not be restuck. Some are just like velcro and can be stuck several times for a perfect fit but can be easily pulled off by baby or clothing. The name brands are all a combonation of both. This way the can be refastened if need be, but stay out much better. Finally, there is the elasticity of the waist band and tabs. This varies greatly by brand. Some have elastic tabs, some waistbands, some both. I find with younger non mobile babies, an elastic waitsband is eonugh for the positions they are in. But, for a more active baby, elastic tabs are important so the diaper does not sqeuuze to tight when the wiggle and move.
Anyway, long answer short, price is actually the only factor of cheap vrs name brand. The use of each diaper is what sells it or not.
As far as my opinion goes, I use 2 different diapers. One for active daytime wear, one for nights. I use the Original Pampers baby dry durring the day because they wisk the wetness away and do keep baby dry. And I use a store brand at night to prevent leaks and hold all night so I don't have to wake him for a change (he sleeps all night). As far as brand for the cheap diapers goes, I use walmart's White Cloud. They are next to the cheapest I have found, and work wonderfully. A bonus with them is the tabs have a little elasticity as well and are fine for awake times right before bed and in the morning.
As far a sizing goes, I would try a size 4 again. Sometimes but shape changes, and 24 pounds plus 2 months should still be under 37, which is the weight topper for 4s. There is a big difference in the number of diapers between 4s and 5s, the biggest of all the size changes. 4s are only a little bigger then 4s, and it is in the length back to front. The waist size is almost the same. Also, a bigger pack is not necessarily a better deal. Take a little pocket calculater with you, and take the price divided by number of diapers and go by the per diaper price. You may be suprised at your findings.
Now, on to formula.
I would highly recomend making the switch to WHOLE (i see someone said 2%) around the 1st birthday. No, there is not a magical thing that happens at this age that makes babies ready for milk, but this is the time most babies become very active and need the extra nutrients in milk. The extra calories support energy, and the calcium supports growth. This is very important because many babies, especially girls, have huge growth spurts around their first birthdays and need the calcium to keep bones strong. The formula is not going to get any less expensive, and she will be drinking more and more very shortly (with her spurt). If you really want to keep her on the formula, you are mommy and you know best, but I would atleast start offering milk around age 1. Who knows, she may like it even more then the formula, and will really help out the pocket book! What ever you decide, good luck!Can some wise women please advice me on which store brand diapers and formula are best.?
My trick to diapers is to find a brand you like and use coupons either from registering at their website, stores - like Target's site, or getting a weekend paper for $2. While cutting coupons can be a pain, for a $3 coupon, Id do it. Plus theres usually other ones in the paper Ill use too.
Target often with email you ones for $3 off. You put that on a small pack and you get a pretty good deal. And you can print it off over and over.
white cloud at walmart is good. I am in NC and eckards just got bought out by rite aide and hade their diapers on sale for 3.50 a bag so I bought them out in my area and stock up to size 4...they work fine for my 4 month old, never had a leak even after 11 hours of sleeping..not sure about older baby though.
I have tried all my local store brand diapers and don't like any of them; they all leak. I like pampers Cruisers or Baby Dry the best. But you're right, they're so expensive! I know they're a lot cheaper at the warehouse stores (Sam's, Costco, etc.), even Wal-Mart is less expensive than buying them at the grocery store.
As for formula you should keep her on the same formula until she's 1. After that there's no need to have her on formula and you should switch her to whole milk.
Good Luck!
do half formula and half 2% milk... that will lower your expensies,, after a month or too go only milk... saves alot..
go to a Costco and buy pampers in bulk.. $37 for like 130+ pampers...
move her too goodnites when u put her down for the nite and i moved our son off of similac and puthim on carnation good start and he loved it and it helped him stay fuller longer. but because she is sucha big baby u will need the big size diapers for now but once she gets mobile and walks she will lose some of the baby fat and get down to size.
I use Luvs... they are cheap and they work okay. Now as for the formula... keep her on her Similac...
I love cloth diapers. I would never go back to stinky, rashy disposables! Cloth doesn't leak, either.
Wal-Mart, Sam's Choice and Target brand diapers are all made in the same factory. Same diapers, different designs on the velcro strip. Check it out yourself. Funny how some people love one label but not the other.
Well I have tried with my son every single diaper offered at walmart, kmart and our local grocery store (fitti diapers). Your asking for store brand try WhiteCloud its at walmart. But luvs is also reasonably priced. I stopped using loves many months back (6 to be exact and switched to pampers) because they did not have the stretch sides but FINALLY they have come out with stretch size and just bought my first box in 6 months yesterday. A box of size 5 with 92 diapers cost 19.97 a pampers size 5 is the same price but only 80 diapers.
Now as for formula you shouldn't keep her on infant formula you should put her on stage 2 formula at 12 months of age their requirements change. I didn't keep my son on formula after 13 months (Dr's request to keep him on it) so I dont know which stage 2's are available. My daughter was a micropremature infant and back in the early 90s I know GoodStart had a stage 2 formula that was reasonably priced. However remember ALL formula's that are marked in the USA must meet or exceed the exact same guidelines so ';technically'; a national brand is no better then a store brand.
By the way check out www.1800diapers.com if you want to buy in bulk they have good prices on some of their products with free shipping over 50 dollars. And dont buy diapers at the grocery store they always charge more.
I've had great luck with Target brand diapers. She is in size 4 right now and she's had no problem with leakage like we did with Huggies and Pampers, not even at night. We've also been ok with the HEB and Kroger Comforts brands.
As far as formula goes, one company makes many of the larger store brands so they are all exactly the same. Wal-mart, Target, Kroger, Bright Beginnings, Member's Mark, and more are all made by PBM Products. I use the Gentle in the store brand for my daughter and have absolutely no problems. It's a savings of $10 a can. You could always try the store brand for a few days to see if she is ok on it. Good luck
Check labels of generic formula and compare them to what you usually use. I get target formula with DHA and ARA and its exactly the same as nestle goodstart, but half the price. I use a generic diaper I found in a grocery store call FITTI, it fits wonderfully and has balloons with smiley faces that fade when my son is wet ^_^
Another thing to consider is ordering in bulk of amazon or a similair website, I would find a brand you like then start doing that.
white cloud or parents choice is the store brand in my area, i hated store brand and i know use luvs or huggies and they both are fine.
my son gets good start soy
i have used enfamil and similac but he had a reaction to the lactose in both so he was put on soy based.
but of course they might not leak on your daughter, try white cloud. formula is not cheap no matter what brand you get. and at your daughter age you can give her milk which will not be as expensive.
luvs are better then the store brands and usually a few dollars cheaper or hit ur local cosco or sams club and get diapers(huggies). Also the fancy brands of formula carry the same thing as the store brands and usually say on the front which ones they r most like....u will save 5 + dollars there on a bigger size container
I had great luck with White Cloud diapers. The other cheaper brands always leaked with my kids.
I really liked the carnation good start formula. Parents choice I couldn't get my kids to take so I tasted it and it seemed sweeter than the others. My kids did really good on the carnation good start and to me it seemed more the consistency of breast milk.
I love the Target brand diapers. They are cheap and work great.
As for formula, I'm not sure, I've heard that the Walmart brand Parents Choice is really good.
white cloud is a good brand ... luvs sucks they are probably the worst i have tried.. formula at walmart they have parents choice brand and it is just as good and you get a huge can for like 12 bucks..
You might want to try pull ups they seem to be a little tighter around the legs. I use the pamper also. Try changing her more often. Child cares change diapers every two hours. hope this helps.
Kroger didn't fit my baby...target was just not good...food lion was cheap...luvs leaked...huggies leaked...LOVED pampers but too expensive...
WHITE CLOUD...walmart brand has worked great. my daughter is 8 months old and i have been using these diapers for MONTHS. they are great for me. i think you just need to go ahead and try a bunch of different store brands out. some people here hated white cloud, some love it...same with the other brands. everything is just cut so differently so no one's baby is going to fit every diaper perfectly. good luck with everything though :)
also, i use the parent's choice formula. my pediatrician said it's virtually the same exact thing as the enfamil i was giving her and it's about $10 cheaper for a big can when compared...ask your pediatrician before abruptly switching formulas, but the store brand ones are often the same thing.
In the early months I liked pampers swaddlers as my daughter got older I tried every brand and my favorite is white cloud-walmart brand.
walmart- sucks! leaks day and night
krogers- aren't that bad, not good for night
do you have a sams club or a friend who has a membership?
their brand, ';sams choice'; is comparable to pampers for a fraction of the price, they have the ';swaddler'; feel to them, and have never leaked on me.
luvs is also a good inexpensive brand that works great day and night, and it has the leak shield guarantee, can't go wrong with that
as for formula parents choice from walmart i heard is really good. but i would stick with similac since she is used to it and won't be on it that much longer.
if price gets to be an issue, there is always the option of giving whole milk.
as my boy got bigger i found that the store brand diapers just didn't hold up well. i use Luvs, they seem to work well for me. why do you want to do formula until 15 months? you can move to whole milk at one year. i started by using 1/4 milk to 3/4 formula, then later half and half, then 3/4 milk and 1/4 formula. the switch to full whole milk is easier that way and much cheaper!
I've had good results with Dollar General brand diapers, and they're reasonably priced- $6.50 a bag for 40(at size 3).
Thank you.Can some wise women please advice me on which store brand diapers and formula are best.?

I stopped using loves many months back (6 to be exact and switched to pampers) because they did not have the stretch sides but FINALLY they have come out with stretch size and just bought my first box in 6 months yesterday. A box of size 5 with 92 diapers cost 19.97 a pampers size 5 is the same price but only 80 diapers.
Now as for formula you shouldn't keep her on infant formula you should put her on stage 2 formula at 12 months of age their requirements change. I didn't keep my son on formula after 13 months (Dr's request to keep him on it) so I dont know which stage 2's are available. My daughter was a micropremature infant and back in the early 90s I know GoodStart had a stage 2 formula that was reasonably priced. However remember ALL formula's that are marked in the USA must meet or exceed the exact same guidelines so ';technically'; a national brand is no better then a store brand.
By the way check out www.1800diapers.com if you want to buy in bulk they have good prices on some of their products with free shipping over 50 dollars. And dont buy diapers at the grocery store they always charge more.
I've had great luck with Target brand diapers. She is in size 4 right now and she's had no problem with leakage like we did with Huggies and Pampers, not even at night. We've also been ok with the HEB and Kroger Comforts brands.
As far as formula goes, one company makes many of the larger store brands so they are all exactly the same. Wal-mart, Target, Kroger, Bright Beginnings, Member's Mark, and more are all made by PBM Products. I use the Gentle in the store brand for my daughter and have absolutely no problems. It's a savings of $10 a can. You could always try the store brand for a few days to see if she is ok on it. Good luck
Check labels of generic formula and compare them to what you usually use. I get target formula with DHA and ARA and its exactly the same as nestle goodstart, but half the price. I use a generic diaper I found in a grocery store call FITTI, it fits wonderfully and has balloons with smiley faces that fade when my son is wet ^_^
Another thing to consider is ordering in bulk of amazon or a similair website, I would find a brand you like then start doing that.
white cloud or parents choice is the store brand in my area, i hated store brand and i know use luvs or huggies and they both are fine.
my son gets good start soy
i have used enfamil and similac but he had a reaction to the lactose in both so he was put on soy based.
but of course they might not leak on your daughter, try white cloud. formula is not cheap no matter what brand you get. and at your daughter age you can give her milk which will not be as expensive.
luvs are better then the store brands and usually a few dollars cheaper or hit ur local cosco or sams club and get diapers(huggies). Also the fancy brands of formula carry the same thing as the store brands and usually say on the front which ones they r most like....u will save 5 + dollars there on a bigger size container
I had great luck with White Cloud diapers. The other cheaper brands always leaked with my kids.
I really liked the carnation good start formula. Parents choice I couldn't get my kids to take so I tasted it and it seemed sweeter than the others. My kids did really good on the carnation good start and to me it seemed more the consistency of breast milk.
I love the Target brand diapers. They are cheap and work great.
As for formula, I'm not sure, I've heard that the Walmart brand Parents Choice is really good.
white cloud is a good brand ... luvs sucks they are probably the worst i have tried.. formula at walmart they have parents choice brand and it is just as good and you get a huge can for like 12 bucks..
You might want to try pull ups they seem to be a little tighter around the legs. I use the pamper also. Try changing her more often. Child cares change diapers every two hours. hope this helps.
Kroger didn't fit my baby...target was just not good...food lion was cheap...luvs leaked...huggies leaked...LOVED pampers but too expensive...
WHITE CLOUD...walmart brand has worked great. my daughter is 8 months old and i have been using these diapers for MONTHS. they are great for me. i think you just need to go ahead and try a bunch of different store brands out. some people here hated white cloud, some love it...same with the other brands. everything is just cut so differently so no one's baby is going to fit every diaper perfectly. good luck with everything though :)
also, i use the parent's choice formula. my pediatrician said it's virtually the same exact thing as the enfamil i was giving her and it's about $10 cheaper for a big can when compared...ask your pediatrician before abruptly switching formulas, but the store brand ones are often the same thing.
In the early months I liked pampers swaddlers as my daughter got older I tried every brand and my favorite is white cloud-walmart brand.
walmart- sucks! leaks day and night
krogers- aren't that bad, not good for night
do you have a sams club or a friend who has a membership?
their brand, ';sams choice'; is comparable to pampers for a fraction of the price, they have the ';swaddler'; feel to them, and have never leaked on me.
luvs is also a good inexpensive brand that works great day and night, and it has the leak shield guarantee, can't go wrong with that
as for formula parents choice from walmart i heard is really good. but i would stick with similac since she is used to it and won't be on it that much longer.
if price gets to be an issue, there is always the option of giving whole milk.
as my boy got bigger i found that the store brand diapers just didn't hold up well. i use Luvs, they seem to work well for me. why do you want to do formula until 15 months? you can move to whole milk at one year. i started by using 1/4 milk to 3/4 formula, then later half and half, then 3/4 milk and 1/4 formula. the switch to full whole milk is easier that way and much cheaper!
I've had good results with Dollar General brand diapers, and they're reasonably priced- $6.50 a bag for 40(at size 3).

This is proven effective. Put tea bags on your eyes for 10 minutes is a great at-home remedy. Any type of tea should do the trick, but green tea works best (the caffeine is a natural shrinker). Just dip the tea bags in water, lie down, and place them over eyes for 10-20 minutes. Another DIY cure I love: frozen spoons on each of your eyelids. You can even combine these two tricks for double the de-puffing power.

Best investment...need advice?
Hi,
I have $20,000 in my bank account. I'm looking for the best way to keep the money I already have, and also make some money off of it. I was hoping to be able to make at least something like $400 a month off of that 20k. Any ideas?Best investment...need advice?
You can put it in a real estate fund at Scottrade such as UMREX, and it is going up about 20% per year if you count the quarterly dividends. That is $333.33 per month, but not guaranteed, mutual funds can lose money also. And the dividends are only paid quarterly. It has made as little as 4.x% per year and as much as 28% per year. No loads, and no transaction fees from this fund at scottrade. TAREX is good also, but has a transaction fee.Best investment...need advice?
Good luck.
Your asking for over a 20% rate of return.
You are not going to find that without significant risk to your capital.
Be very skeptical of anyone who says you can.
Yeah, loan sharking on a small scale...
2% return a month at least the first month anyway thats fairly realistic, I would put it away in an EFT, oyu could easily get 10-15 % a year
Make at least $400 a month on $20k - 2% per month - 24% per year? Here is what I suggest before you do anything - go to yahoo finance or morningstar AND see how many mutual funds have made 24% per year for the last 5 years - my guess is that you won't find many that have made 15% AND keep in mind that these are professional money managers.
I don't think that you are going into this with realistic expecations. Buying a single stock OR a single anything for that matter is a complete crapshoot. I don't know when you will possibly need this money BUT if I had this as excess money to invest I would want to buy 4-5 unrelated investments AND I wouldn't want to buy it all at the same time. For instance maybe I was going to buy mutual funds and would split the money between a dividend fund - bond fund - growth fund - midcap fund - international fund AND buy half now and half in 2 months, or whatever, just would want to be able to make an additional purchase if it went down right after I bought it, which is a very realistic possibility unfortunately.
What funds should you buy? Remember that study you did looking for fund returns as high as what you are looking for. Chose from those that are morningstar 4-5 star funds AND look for the funds that had a smooth return of about the same thing each year -vs- erractic returns.
Good luck to you.
never invest more than you afford to lose
You cannot without taking extraordinary risks with your money. This is a low interest rate environment with very high asset prices, you might find purely speculative ways to make that return, but not if you want to not have a good chance of losing everything.
Are you willing to risk $400.00 a month too?
To make $400 a month from $20,000 is not realistic for most of us. I would be thrilled to get a 10% return today which would average about $167 a month on that sum. If you want a return greater than a money-market fund or a bank CD, you will have to take considerable risk to acheive it.
$400 per month in income on $20k is about 24% per year. That is very rare in any market. You might be able to safely earn 8% - 12% per year (no guaranty) in a good mutual fund. But you could lose money too.
Depending on where you live, $20k might be enough for a downpayment on a rental property. In some markets you can get a good duplex or triplex for under 200k. (I bought a triplex in a small town for 120k) .
So if you can find a mortgage at 10% down, buy a triplex for, say, 150k by taking out a 125k mortgage, you might have a payment of $1400 - $1500 per month (depending on local taxes, insurance and utilities), and rent the place out for $600-$700 per month per apartment you could earn that much on your 20k. But that's a lot of work and not without risk.
Reward is directly related to risk. The only way to make 2% per month (that is almost 27% per year with monthly compounding) is to put your money into risky assets.
I wouldn't advise it.
Since you are obviously a naive investor, I'd suggest no-load mutual funds that mimic the broad market. On average, that should give you about 150-200 increase per month.
Expect a lot of variance. Remember that you are in it for the long run.
Let see a 2% gain per month? Not very ambitious are ya? Well how about this stock
Keep in mind, past performance does not guarantee future results.
CVP, it is currently paying .13 per share per month. If you can buy it at 16.00 per share or 1250 shares times .13 = 162.5 per month. Not quite 200 dollars but........eh.
Buy a stock with a fairly flat price, One that offers regular devidend payments. Then write options (covered calls) against your stock. Always go one month out and no more and always just out of the money. That will get you about what your looking for. Maybe not quit or all the time but close. You also get the dividend payment as gravy as long as you don't get exercised. If you get exercised you still win cause you were selling just out of the money so you are in the green on the sale. Watch and when the price slips back, buy back in and do it all over again. and again, and again, and again....etc.

But now, she finally went too far, and I spoke up and now she's totally avoiding me.

I was looking for something relating to sports that won't take too long before I can break into the industry and branch off. And possibly if you knew the cheapest way to go about it?

I am trying to revamp myself, so so speak. I want to look stunning and healthy! I had my fourth baby 9 months ago and found a site that sells many types of high-end products, both for skin care and makeup. I have relatively nice skin but some sun damage (spots) and a couple light scars. My skin is also uneven. Sometimes I break out a little but seldom. I have dark circles under my eyes and they get puffy as well from lack of sleep. I am getting myself back in shape physically and am in pretty good shape, except for that baby tummy! I am planning on buying LipFusion because of the great things I've heard about it. I also want to have glossy hair (glossing products?) and am dying to try Frederick Fekkais Shimmer Spray. This website offers Peter Thomas Roth and his products sound good, but also they offer Murad, Lancome, Talika, Clinique, La Prairie, Ahava, Sisley, Borghese and something like Noevir(?)I am broke right now but have credit with this company. I'm 37 years old. Advice please!Any advice on best skin care /makeup?
Damage/sun spots,scars %26amp; uneven skin tone can be fixed quickly with Bio-Oil,get it from the chemist or drugstore,it costs approx $17 and lasts a while too.Iv got 2 kids and no-one can tell iv had them!For makeup Id suggest Sheer-Cover,it covers all floors without feeling like there is anything on your skin,it even covers birth-marks.I have very sensitive skin and like you I dont have too many probs,I just wanted to look fresh,I did this a year ago and havent looked back since!And that Pro-Active stuff really does work for clearing up your skin,so even if you dont want to wear makeup on any given day you dont have to and you still look great(wich helps when your running around after kids all day and then you get those unexpected visitors!ahh!)Pro-Active and Sheer-Cover are inexpensive and you can get them onthe same site..and did I mention they deliver to your door too!Hope you find what your looking for.Good LuckAny advice on best skin care /makeup?
I am also 37 and have had 2 kids! I know how you feel!!!! I started using Arbonne Nutrimin RE9 skin care line about 6 months ago - and my skin looks fantastic! I get tons of compliments.

Girls advice please? (Best answer!)?
Ok I dated this girl (we both go to the same college) for the month of October. We had great chemistry and I thought it would develop to something serious. However she said she was too busy for a relationship and we have barely talked since. She's kinda ignored me too. I think it might have to do with how she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years a couple months before we started dating. We still text weekly though.
Anyway Valentines Day is coming up (she's going home to spend it with her family) and I was thinking today I would of call her and leave this on her voicemail (it's doubtful she will answer): ';Hey (her name) I'm calling to wish you a happy Valentines Day! I hope you have a great time with your family tonight. I want you to know that I think you're an amazing girl and I really did have a great time hanging out like we did last semester. Give me a call when you get a chance and once again happy Valentines day bye.';
What do you think? Any advice?
Thanks so much!Girls advice please? (Best answer!)?
Yes that would be o.k but dnt seem to anxious. Dnt call her as soon as she get home. Wait a while,just do a sudden call.Let her know that you have been doing ok and you just want her to know that you where wishing her well in her life. Hey she might ask you out. But still get you a date.

Girls advice please? (Best answer 10 points!)?
I'm going out with this girl I've known a while who lives about 20 minutes away. It's our first date just the two of us and we are going to see a movie. She also wants to see my new apartment. At what point should I make a move and try and kiss her (I know she likes me). Should I first hold hands at the movie theater, or put my arm around her while watching the movie or just kinda go for it while we hang out at my apartment for a while after. I'm just not sure what works best to lead to making out. Thanks so much!Girls advice please? (Best answer 10 points!)?
first- the movies is not a great first date spot. figure it this way, you want to be able to talk and get to know eachother and what not- and you are not exactly able to do that in a movie. i mean i suppose it is okay b/c then you will have something to talk about afterwards back at your place...but you should be able to talk w/o having to see something first. i would wait to see how she acts...leaning in or hand on the knee type deal. just take it slow and play it by ear...if you plan these things they tend to turn out awkward and goofy. if she wants you to kiss you im sure you will be able to tell by her subtle hints. have fun on your date!!!Girls advice please? (Best answer 10 points!)?
Holding her hands called gentle but not kiss her first. She can feel the warm in your hand. IF only she let you to hold with pleasant smile, then kiss on her cheek. She would reply if she likes you in that way. But don't do anything in the theater, maybe before you enter in. Because there is some of chances for you that she can make move out wherein theater. And if she replies in good as the way you excepting then offer her to visit your new apartment. Hope for the best!!
Movie: Take it easy, last thing u want is for her to think that all u like her for is her s*x appeal. Just take it easy. Exception: If it's a romantic or sad movie then u can make a move.
Apartment: That's when u make a move but at first... flirt.. then everything follows as a process.
1. Just chill relax..
2. Start FLirting
3. Make a move( after telling her something is on her lip)
4. Since it's YOUR apartment, we all know what happens next
do it at your apartment!
wait for a weird akward silence, look into her eyes while shes looking into yours
lean in about 3/4 the way, pause and let her finish it (if she doesnt finish it, sometimes girls get confused =p give her a cute crooked smile and finish it) hehe girls love that
also, good oral hygiene!!!!! :D
=)
oh. boy dont mess up with her or else you will not be seeing her anymore. just relax and be normal 'cause not all girls are that easy to get . dont be stupid cause she's not yet your girl so why do such move . treat her as what is normal and as a friend 'cause when you will show motive the first time , the girl can think that you're in a hurry . so just treat her the normal way. thanks............................a lot
Just go with the flow and don't rush things!! I'm sure you will have many more dates. Just have fun for now and don't stress about making any moves. Maybe just cuddle on the couch, play with her hair, and slowly try kissing her. Be in a relaxed environment.. put on some slow music, etc. And if it happens it happens =]
Remember, don't take things too fast. I would say hold her hand, but don't put your arm around her at the movies. And wait until you're both feeling comfortable around each other before you kiss her. You may just want to give her a kiss goodnight. Good luck!
At the movies, don't be afraid to hold her hand or even put your arm around her. Back at the apartment, offer her a drink. put on some good music and get into a good conversation. It'll lead to the kissing part, just go with the flow.
I had almost the same question on my mind. The funny thing is i just went with what i felt in my gut it told me the time was right and i was perfect just let it happen naturaly dont try and force it
Ya that sounds perfect just make sure youre not to pushy and stuff lol and kiss her when you think the time is right dont listen to the people on here lol
after you know you had a good time at the movies, get comfortable in your apartment and make a move. good luck!
Relax, have a good time, it will happen naturally.
i think u should easy your way by trying to hold her hand then proceed to put your arm around her then go from there
just go with the flow, u dont want to go to far or she will get mad. just if its ment to happen it will happen
honestly if she wants to see your apartment u might be getting more then just a kiss
buy some condoms just in case ;)

Need Advice Quick!!! Best answer 10 points!! PROMISE =]?
Alright, i know yall going to hate for putting this question in this category but honestly do you think i'm going to get any answer at all in the homework section!!! ugh
Anyway, I'm preparing for mid-year exams that are very soon! There's a question for our English exam which we got to have a look at and i have no idea where to start. I mean i have a slight understanding but i think i'm going to flunk it so how do i answer this essay question?
';What techniques does the author of a prescribed use to position the reader to admire certain human characteristics but condemn others?';
The text is Eva Luna by Isabel Allende
THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!
=]Need Advice Quick!!! Best answer 10 points!! PROMISE =]?
it means what things does the narrator tell you that makes you like a certain character. and what things does the narrator tell you about certain characters to make you dislike them. for example
Susy is beautiful, smart, and witty. Shes really popular and has alot of friends. I cant help but like her
Susy is pretty but a little busy. She is quite and likes to hang out with the drama geeks. She also chews gum really loudly behind me in math class
you seeNeed Advice Quick!!! Best answer 10 points!! PROMISE =]?
Good writer, I don't know that story though... Those essay questions are worded to be confusing sometimes. It's basically just asking how does Allende present the story so the reader feels a certain way about character traits. If I knew the story I could explain that better, but...
I'm just assuming the point of view of the story might be part of her technique, for example if it's in the first person, the ideas of the narrator are going to be presented in a more intimate manner, and being closer to that character the reader may develop the same attitude towards human characteristics as that character.
I would bet her diction is a technique as well, like if she sprinkles in words that are suggestive of a certain mood or attitude...
You should be able to figure it out, just read the story over and over. If you still can't, ask your teacher for a little help.whitening cream fashion makeup

Cuba advice please.... Best answer gets 10points!?
Ok, so I鈥檓 off to Cuba next week (Holguin, Playa Pesquero) and wanted some advice with Tipping.
My friend went to Cuba last year (one of the cayo鈥檚) and said that they gave out gifts instead of money (apart from to the tour guides which they gave a few peso鈥檚), so me and my boyfriend have made up some (four) gift packs before we go, which includes:
Soap
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Mouthwash
Razors
Notepad
Colouring pencils
(and one includes sanitary towels)
Will this be enough? And will we need to tip any more than this?
Also, I was sorting through some stuff yesterday and found some bra鈥檚 which no longer fit me, I heard some where that they appreciate items of clothing too, would you recommend I take these bra鈥檚 with me (and maybe some old tshirts/shorts etc) and leave them for the maid when we go?
Not sure if it makes any difference, but I am from the UK.
ThanksCuba advice please.... Best answer gets 10points!?
Perfect, they appreciate everything you mentioned.
First of all: money CUC because they need it to buy everything in the foreign currency shops and for transportation and their money is only good for basic needs like bread etc.
I think it's a good idea to alter tips and little gifts.
There are also people who give only tips.
Everything is welcome.
Maybe you'll meet so many people that you'd like to give away not a whole gift package but the single items?
It's a good idea to leave things you don't need in the hotel.
I saw in my hotel that the maids put it together and then distribuited it according to what who needs. But you can also leave a note that it is for a certain person.
I gave away half of my suitcase at the end of my vacation.
They asked me for children's clothes and shoes of my daughter and they like T-Shirts, Shirts, Sweaters, sandals, bags, Jeans, caps, swimsuits, towels, underwear, and especially Sportswear. But also aspirin, chewing gum, matches, sunglasses, batteries, biros, pencils, toys, condomes, shampoo, perfume, lipstick, nail polish, makeup and panty hoses ...
But only give away when you decide, not when they insist or didn't do anything for you.
Only few will do that, most are very grateful about anything and I was astonished how happy they felt about something very normal for us.
The best is to talk with them, they are very warm and special people with dignity, who are able to arrange well in life with the few material things they have.
Have a nice stay!
I just returned from a wonderful vacation there and made a lot of friends (...I hope/think not due to the gifts ;-))Cuba advice please.... Best answer gets 10points!?
all good gifts money also good
and remember dont be afraid to talk/laugh share a drink/joke with the cubans they are great people
clothes are very appreciated
That's very kind of you to bring those helpful gifts for the Cubans. Although when it comes to tipping, it's best to use money (especially with the food service). If you wish to give a gift, it's always best to do so privately on a separate occasion from any services extended to you.
Usually it's nice to tip a little here and there for food/drink (although drinks not necessary all the time), towel attendant, maid service, those who clean in and around the hotel (sometimes we can forget those hard workers). But most of all you will know and be able to use your judgment reasonably.
The best gift though, as Stephen B mentioned, is being a great friend and enjoying yourself with the Cuban people. Greet them everyday, say hello and mean it, talk with them, spend time with them, share a meal with them, etc.
Oh, in regards to your genty used bra...those things are alright to bring. I personally had given the maid a clean bathing suit top, a pair of jeans, a book, and some toiletries throughout my stay and at the end.
Hopefully that helps.
Enjoy your trip. You will for sure end up returning sooner than you think!

Sure anything is good to bring to cuba. When I go I bring everything I can and then They appreciate me and respect me more. All those things are good.Most staff work 12 hour shifts 6 days a week so if you tip them a bit a first you will probably see them regularly and they will remember. If you can contact the actual hotel by e mail and ask them if you can bring something down of importance. I did this once and they asked for nails and screws because the hurricane went right through the club amigo resort and just destroyed their homes in guardalavaca. For women,,, bring tampons.... I brought tampons for one maid and she loved me to death because you can't get them in cuba. I also gave her a bunch of little soccer balls that were free for me which made her very happy because she had a nine year old son. As for your boyfrind all I can say is go early or if you can reserve a seat with legroom (usually by the front or exits) Again if you give generously at the begining of you trip they will remember.

Depends on this situation...Is this the first time that it has happened? If so, then give him another chance to prove himself..But if this is not the first time that he has messed up then kick his *** to the curb! He will only continue to do them again...Trust me....I need the best help and advice on what to do asap?
Here is what you do, you go out on a clear night and go for a walk and then thoughts run into your head and do not try and force yourself into thinking about him, let it all come naturally.
Then you come back home when you want and look up at the stars and lie down out the front while thinking about what ever comes into your head, this is called finding out who you really are, even if you did not even think about him you will find your answer.
I really feel that some guys may deserve a second chance, it all depends on what they did wrong. Wouldn't you want a second chance? He says he misses you and loves you, and he's willing to try harder to prove it to you. Give him another chance , only if you still love him too. Also don't let your guard down all the way. Make him sweat a little. LOL........
depends on what he did, if he cheated, id forget about him, other things I might try to work out, but people dont change.
its up to you!
I wouldn't go back to him. Move on! He's just trying to get the easy way out and probably hasn't learned his lesson.

Girls advice please? (best answer!)?
Ok during the last few weeks of October I was seeing this girl fairly often. We got coffee, went bowling, and spent time at each others places. We even watched a scary movie and held hands on halloween. Since then I haven't seen or talked to her once. We've done a little texting and she says she doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone because of her busyness. We're both in the same college and sure she's been busy but still I'm confused. I know she isn't seeing anyone else. I've called her but she hasnt called me back. I just don't want to give up because I feel there is something there but I dont know what to do. I mean I felt there was chemistry and she used to be so excited to be around me. Like on our first coffee date she had to put her hand over her face because she was so happy I was asking her out again. Any advice would be great..thanks so much!Girls advice please? (best answer!)?
although im not a girl i have some advice and it worked for me
dude, calm down a little, i think if i were her, (and i don't want to be lol) i would give her some time, maybe call her once a week, or, just slow things down, she tiped you with the ';No relationship problem'; so i would just slow down, but overall, don't give up, call her again once a week, and if you meet her say hi, maybe give her a ride to somewhere who knows, small things, she'll get it bro.
oh and Good Luck, Don't play hard to et ewither, if you like her too, trust meGirls advice please? (best answer!)?

Need advice on best digital camera for product photography...?
I have been doing product photography for a little while and now have decided it is time to upgrade my camera to something more ';professional';. I'm using a sony cybershot now (works amazing for what I'm doing) but I'm still ready to upgrade. I've found some Nikon digital slr's for under $600 -used on craigslist.com and same with Canon's. Anyone have any advice? I take all the images on my site with the Sony www.MorganArtistry.com I'd eventually like to get into architectural/Interior photography for magazines. Thanks in advanceNeed advice on best digital camera for product photography...?
sounds like you just need to make the decision. Both Nikon and Canon slr's can be found for under $600. The major investment in either system are the lenses. For architectural/interior you would probably want to go with a wide angle lense with a small aperture (to all more light in) because interior photography is usually low light situations. Being that you haven't invested in any lenses yet (the expensive part of the hobby) I would suggest going to the store and getting both of them in your hands....try it out in the store, which one fits better. They both are amazing camera's (the canon rebel xti and the Nikon D40.) I currently own the xti, and am very happy with it. Check www.amazon.com for a good price with free shipping on a new camera. You really won't be disappointed with either system.Need advice on best digital camera for product photography...?
Before you jump into the DSLR arena (and spend a few thousand dollars in a body and a few lenses) take a class in photography and learn how to expose film using an adjustable camera.
There are so many things that you have to know before you can truly be successful as a photographer, only taking classes in photography will educate you at the speed you seem to want to go. Even then, a few years working with a pro will further enhance your abilities to meet the challenges that pros find every day.
You will probably start out using a 35mm Nikon or Canon SLR the first year (if your school doesn't require you to use a 4x5 the first year), so buy purchasing a Nikon or Canon, all the lenses you use will more than likely fit the digital body you buy in a few years.
Here is a great resource for you to view while you find a school to attend.

Girls advice please? (Best answer 10 pts!)?
Yesterday I went to the wrong classroom for this speaker and so did this girl my age. We talked for a little while and I liked her. The next day I saw her outside a class and we talked again for like 15 minutes plus. I really really like her, we have a lot in common, and I think she likes me it seemed like we had a lot of chemistry. My roomate knows her friends but I don't really know her and I didn't introduce myself formally. Should I ask my roomate to ask his friends for her number? What should I do? I doubt I'll see her again outside her class room and I don't want to take a chance.Girls advice please? (Best answer 10 pts!)?
Don't ask for her number through someone else, that is kind of creepy. Ask your friend if they can set something up as a group so you can talk to her again. When you talk to her introduce yourself and ask her if you can gte her number or Myspace and go from there.Girls advice please? (Best answer 10 pts!)?
you CAN get to know her friends because your roommate knows them. eventually, you'll hang out with the girl of the moment again, and thats when you be yourself, be charming and get some digits.
you should look for her outside class again, and ask her for her # if u wanna call her
i think u should do something about it...try to get her number...if you don't take a risk you'll never know what could have happened...i'll tell you my story...i met this guy one night..i went to a club with a friend of mine and she invited 2 guys so i started dancin with one of this guys...we had a lot of fun...but at the end of the night he didn't ask my number so i thinked: ok so this was ona good nite and that's all i'll never see him again or whatever...but 2 days after he called me...so hi got my number from my friend....and we started datng since...and we've been togheter for 4 years know....the thing is if he would have doubt about getting my number we would have missed all this good stuff we're going tru right know....hope i helped

Girl Advice please, best plan of action gets 10 points!!?
I know its a long read but it can be your good deed of the day and its really important to me at least.
So Sunday night (a week ago Tonite) i hooked up with this girl and i loved it but it was my best friend's well it wasn't his anything but they are talking, anyway she hasn't talked to me since and the night was perfect she came over at 10 and she didn't leave till 3 we talked and cuddled and kissed and other things of that nature. I have tried to talk to her 4 times since then: 3 times by text and 1 time by phone. i quit after that. i saw her at the game friday night and more at school earlier in the week and she wouldn't even make eye contact. I really like her, all i do at night is lay awake and think what im going to do to get her. Now while we aren't on talking terms she is falling for my friend who doesn't really care if hes with this girl or that girl. Ive had girlfriends and girl problems before but nothing like this, like ive never even felt like this. normaly im all happy and what not but i actually cried today and i havnt cried in atleast 6 months. Pitiful i know.
so i guess should i force her to see me or talk to me (if so how like wait by her car after school or something)
Should i keep up the calling and texting
should i write her a song (I play ukulele) and leave it on a CD on her car
should i burn her a cd of different songs that express what im trying to say to her
or i could go to her house and preform the song for her (kinda creepy i thouhgt and her sisters in my grade and would be there) (the girl is a year older than me)
or give up (not really an option because i really really like her) Girl Advice please, best plan of action gets 10 points!!?
How about none of the above. Let it look like you've given up and play like it doesn't matter one bit to you. I think she might come around then. Just back completely off. Really. It works. No songs. No cd's. No forcing her to do anything. That's just wrong anyway you look at it. Let her come to you. If you take any of the actions above, she will run for the hills.Girl Advice please, best plan of action gets 10 points!!?
give her some time then start talking to her again
good luck sounds like you really need it!
hey, the making the mixed cd sounds good. leave little cute notes like ';i am thinking of you' or 'hope you have a great day' by her car window or locker. dont call anymore.
if she doesn't respond to the note or the cd then sorry she really does have eyes for someone else.
she may be embarrassed to talk to you too especially if it was good for her too. she might be trying to sort out her feelings. take it slow, be romantic but also be patient.
Dont do anything like a song or keep calling because that gets Very annoying to us girls! The best bet is to wait by her car with a rose and say what you have been thinking. u r the sweetest person and i bet shell fall for you! Hope this HELPS!!
I think she just wanted to hook up with you and nothing else. She's ignoring you after your four attempts to contact her. You are going to have to give up. If you force it anymore you will make her uncomfortable and come off as creepy and stalkerish.
I know that this is really hard to hear but this girl is regretting doing what she did with you. She doesn't seem to return your feelings and you are scaring her with how into her you've become in such avery short time. I know that it's the last thing you ever want to do but your best chance at salvaging any kind of relationship with this girl is for you to back off right now and keep it light when you do get to chat to her. You've scared her but if you back off now maybe she'll come around later.
In my opinion I think u should stop trying to talk to her. Your putting so much effort and in the end ur only hurting urself. Its obvious after you guys messed around that night she probably feels occured about it. Its not ur fault but sometimes females get like that or maybe she is afraid ur friend is going to find out about ya. I also think ur starting to like her so much is because she's not giving u any attention and is completely ignoring u. If u continue to try to get her attention don't put so much energy into it.
You seem desperate and thats a major turn off. show her that you can have a good time without her and she'll come scampering back if she likes you too. (:

idk about asking for the phone number. thats a little personal. if i were you i would approach her myself. are you sure theres very little chance youll see her again? she doesnt seem to have a problem talking to you so why not strike up the conversation yourself?Girls advice please? (Best answer!)?
Ask your roommate to pass your number to her friends so they can give it to her. Follow up with them to make sure they at least tried to give it to her. If you can, maybe have your roommate introduce you to her friends so you can pass your number on yourself. Who knows--maybe if you meet them, you'll see her again through hanging out with them.
I wouldn;t be so like can i have your number and go so fast.
I hate guys like that. I would wait a month after you really know her. And then you should just atleast ask her for her number to see if you can text or call her. (: But never ask her friends for her number. She will get mad at her friends and then she will be like, ';Who gave you my number?'; You should play it cool;; but don;t go full speed. ask for her number if you want to finish a conversation. (:
Well you might see her around, give it a few days then ask her then. If you havent seen her in a few days go for it ask your roomate and just tell her you forgot to introduce youreself and all that and you thought you guys could hang out sometime. Make it casual so shes not freaked out or anything, play it cool.
well, asking her friends about her seems kind of junior high. i say next time you see her just ask her for her number and/or a date.
or, if you're really nervous, try asking her out for a group thing or to just hang out as friends and see if it helps you get the courage to ask her out for real
Yeah! Find out if your roommate would get her friends to give you her number. If you don't see her outside the classroom, then you won't have any other way to get to her. At least if you have her number, you'll have a way to contact her. = ] Good luck!
Yes, ask for her number.
That's just about how I ended up dating my college boyfriend. Good luck!
Man up. Ask her for her number the next time you see her. This isn't the 3rd grade.
Do whatever it takes!
Sounds like you know her schedule, or atleast some of it. Did you notice her before yesterday's accidental meeting?
Maybe you can arrange a ';chance'; meeting again, so that you have another opportunity to talk to her.
Is she in a club?
Could you and maybe your friend just happen to drop by a cafe or coffeeshop sort of place that she's at? I'm not talking about stalking her, but if you already know her classrooms then maybe you can make any meeting look casual so that way if she's not interested then you haven't taken a real chance yet.
If you're wanting to keep it a secret then asking for her number is obviously showing your interest.
Do you know if she has a boyfriend already, or even a girlfriend?
Do you know her friends at all and if so, how do they act around you?

Communication is the key in most situations. When you're wondering what the other person is thinking, or why they do what they do, the most sure fire way to get a response is to ask. To talk about it.
So many problems that you see on here could be solved if people communicated.Give me your best piece of advice?

Girls advice please? (best answer 10pts!)?
Ok last month I got coffee with this girl I really like and we also went bowling and been at each others apartments. We even watched a movie and held hands on halloween night. Unfortunately though she has been busy and I have not seen her since. I've called and texted and she hasn't responded or has been kinda abrupt. She's told me before sheis too busy for a relationship but I still like to think she likes me and we had great chemistry on our previous dates.
I was thinking to win her back I would go to her apartment while she is in class and leave three pink roses (one for each week I haven't seen her) and a note. Good idea? Any other advice? Thanks so much!Girls advice please? (best answer 10pts!)?
I think you`re annoying her.Girls advice please? (best answer 10pts!)?
i wouldn't go to her apartment just in case she doesn't like you. That could be concidered stalking or breaking and entering. If you tried contacting her and she has not responded it's probably not good. But onthe chance there is still a chance, maybe you could write a short sweet note attached to a rose asking what her intentions are so your not waiting around forever and post it to her door. hope this helps
do it and keep positve and hope that shes nice back but if she isnt then just leave it alone; and if she doesnt have time dont sit around and wait for her maybe you guys could catch up later; but make sure you do something to show her you like her so that you dont have to 'wonder' dor the rest of your life
What a great guy. But hey dont get a big head and ruin it. :-) That sounds like a great idea, maybe in the note you should ask her to do something specific. And maybe have a back up plan. She can't keep ignoring you.
That is SO cuute!!! But since she already told you she doesnt want a relationship, be prepared to get rejected. However, this might change her mind.
Aw..that's so cute!! Do it!

Girls advice please? (best answer)?
Ok I'm going to Chicago for a graduate school forum and there is this girl I like a lot who also would be interested in going. She has a boyfriend (he is a loser) but we are very good friends. We live like 6 hours away and she said she would take the trip with me. Could I ask her to go there the day before and get a hotel room (so we dont have to leave at 5am)? I mean if we were friends or if we were dating this would be the practical thing to do. What do you think I should say? Thanks so much!Girls advice please? (best answer)?
Sure why not? If she says no, offer an alternative or just don't go with her. What have you got to lose? She's not going to get all weirded out by you offering the hotel thing as long as you say it with confidence and don't come off like you have some hidden agenda.Girls advice please? (best answer)?
well, her bf might have a problem with her going away with you (if he's that concerned about her). However, you two can get a hotel room with seperate beds and still remain friends.You can even use this to get close to her. So give it shot and ask away, bud.

I need some advice, my best friend has stopped talking to me and has a new best friend.?
just to let people know im 16 and mature. i dont mean this post as like oh this girls went off with this girl and so on. This is about my only friend on the world...my friend count is currently at 0.
A new girl come to my school and started hanging with me and my friends about 6 months ago. 3 months ago my BEST FRIEND completely stopped talking to me and hanging with me!
i cant think of anything i have said or done to her for her to stop talking to me and hanging around with me. i dont know whats so good about this new girl or what she has got over me. and to make things worse this new girl doesnt like me.
Me and my friend used to be so close. she knew things about me that i havnt told anyone else in the world.
i havnt spoken to her in months and the only time she talks to me is to ask me a question or for help with school work. I feel that she seriously doesnt care anymore, but i dont know why or how.
im so upset over this and i just dont know how we got here, please help meI need some advice, my best friend has stopped talking to me and has a new best friend.?
I'm going through something very similar and I too, am 16. Just try and find some new friends to hang out with. You're almost out of school, so just worry more about your grades and school work than your friendships, that's what I'm doing. Just hang in there, write her a note or talk to her, explain how you feel, I'm sure she'll understand. You'll find new friends, just be nice and out-going. Don't stress yourself out, that's what I'm doing, and it's no help, at all!
I hope everything works out!

Well obviously the new girl got more influence on her, specially if she doesn't like you...you know what? forget them, they don't deserve your time of wondering what happenned, it just happened so, drop it. It's her loss, because the new girl by doing something like this is a snake already...and your friend a scary rabbit that anybody manipulates so easy, if she would have been a true friend, she would have not allowed something like that to happen....so , why are you wondering for loosers???
Next time, she asks you a questions, just say , I don't know, I wish I could help you....and for school work? puaf!! let her stay after school for some extra counseling in a subject she doesn't get. That's her problem not yours...
You make other friends, and have other groups, do some activities in school, practice a sports. do something....
People like them are not worth it.
Try talking to your friend about how you feel, or try getting someone that she does talk to, (other than the girl that took her away from you) to tell her how you feel. if she still wont talk to you, than I dont know what to do.
Just be you, No worry
im really sorry about ur friend.Wat i think is that she wanted to get to know this grl because she thought she was kool and needed a friend. but she is hanging out with this person all the time and has no more time 4 u, thats not a very good friend if they are willing to stop being friends with u because they are preoccupied with another person. I think you need to call her and set up a time where u 2 can talk this out and hopefully she will realize where you are coming from. if she was a good friend she does still care about you so if shes gonna stop being friends with you because the new grl dosent like u then she isnt a true friend, and maybe u and the new grl can learn to like eachother 4 the sake of u and ur best friends friendship.
If she all of a sudden stopped being your friend, then she may feel like you have done something that she doesn't like, but don't want to tell you. If she still speaks to you about school work, then she isn't so mad that she won't speak to you at all. If I didn't want to deal with someone at all, I won't speak to them at all. Move on and find a new friend. In the future, don't tell anyone your personal secrets. When someone gets mad at you, they will use them against you. Learn this now.
ask her what is going on between you 2
she is obviously finished with you, move on. May I suggest male friends, they are not backstabbing bitches.
