• (1 vote) Want to get my tongue pierced but my parents aren’t letting me I messaged a few studios around but they said with I.D 18!
  

  No wonder your parents are trying to limit what you do if that is the way you speak to them. Your reply to me shows utter lack of respect and also your immaturity. It’s not about what I want, it is about respect for your parents and their rules. They’ve already said no to you and must have their reasons for that. Perhaps it is your rude attitude which you have just shown. You asked for peoples opinions on here so expect to hear some answers sometimes you don’t like. I suggest you grow up a little.

• (1 vote) Hi All, I am torn between emotions for 2 women.
  

  [quote nolateri]All you can do is go forward in life and be a good person! Never go after someone that belongs to another person for starter’s or allow yorself to be available if they chase you!
  
  We all owe it to ourselfs to treat other’s as we would want them to treat us!
  
  I wold leave all this in your past. The single girl is long gone and does not sound like she will ever come back!
  
  As for your question’s:
  
  What am I supposed to do?
  1. Marry the girl my family selects? No! Marry a girl you Love and Choose!
  2. Contact this single girl again and start again as its been 7 months since I last contacted her and she might be ready to accept me back if I initiate? Try to contact her maybe one more time. If she still ignore’s you let her go!
  3. Give up any hopes of finding this single girl back in my life and marry the girl my family selects? No Read 1 and 2 reply’s.
  4. Any other ideas? Tell your parents you want to find the girl that you want to Marry and Marry her because you Love her and want a happy Marriage!
  
  Good Luck! We can’t change our past we can change how we do thing’s in the future![/quote]
  
  Everything I would have said is here! Good luck

• (1 vote) Do I tell my wife I’m gay?
  

  [quote gr]so what I walk around naked, is that so strange? Anyway I said I was going to stop. I didn’t say I loved my wife, I said I respect her. I am sort of Christian, but not totally sure.[/quote]
  
  You did say you loved your wife. Don’t deny it because I asked you directly last night and you said yes you did. Go back and check your reply.
  As for being ’sort of Christian’, well then perhaps don’t go about telling people that scripture says you the ‘leader’ in your house because you’re a man. Its just a sorry excuse for being chauvinist.

• (1 vote) Hi so I have a few issues.
  

  What do you love to do? Is there something you maybe neglected that you were interested in before? Or something you’ve always wanted to try? Start small, join a club, do a sport … I don’t know what may catch your fancy but you do! By doing something you love and enjoy, your confidence and attention may be guided away from your insecurities a little, you may be so focused on the activity that it leaves you open to communicate with new people around you without thinking about it too much. Also, I’m sorry you’re struggling with your sexuality, remember though, you are not defined by being gay, that is just a small part of who you are, you are a much mre complex and interesting person than that! If you find it hard to tell people…well…then don’t! Not until you feel ready! After all, I don’t introduce myelf to people by saying ‘Hello, nice to meet you, I’m straight by the way!’ Wait until you feel comfortable in yourself, theres no rule book. And people are generally alot more accepting than you may think, they may even already know you’re gay but be waiting until you’re ready to tell them (I went to college with a guy like this, we all liked him, we all knew he was gay, we all waited until he was ready to disclose it, we all felt exactly the same about him after he had!…like I said…it isn’t who you are, just a part of the bigger picture). Is there any counselling agengies at your college? Maybe you could speak to them about how you feel too, sometimes we just need to talk things out to someone in confidence to get things straight in our heads. x

• (1 vote) I’m looking to buy a male terrier/collie mix puppy soon, so i have a few questions… first of all this this the right puppy for me?
  

  Collies medium willed/terriers strong willed, both need a high amount of exercise so aim for long energetic walks, need lots of toys and mental activity, collies like to chase and terriers are energetic so I would think you’d get a mix of these traits.
  When introducing you to your cat restrain puppy, don’t let it chase cat and let cat leave it if wants to. Especially in first year make sure puppy can not chase cat when its around, let cat become accustomed to dog and keep restaining puppy until it learns it shouldn’t chase cats. Try distracting the puppy with toys and games and make sure your cat has plenty of high places to get to a safe spot. Watch out as the puppy gets older as it will begin to bounce at the cat, learn the cat runs and will chase it thinking its a game, its all about repetition and teaching your puppy right from wrong.
  Buy the book ‘The Perfect Puppy’ by Gwen Bailey, its got loads of great information and is really simple to read so you don’t have to trawl through a huge manual!!

  Even if you don’t manage to get a dog which is crate trained you may find you have no issues anyway provided you train your dog well around your house. My personal opinion is kind of against crate training and it’s not something I have ever considered using. It seems to be more convenient for human than dog, the main reason given for it is that dogs are den animals which actually isn’t strictly true, whilst wild mothers do use maternity dens for puppies when they are young as they grow up they much prefer to be out and about! However, as I said that is just my opinion, in some circumstances I suppose they can be a useful short term tool. If you’re concerned my suggestion would be to go and speak to the adoption centre. Hope you enjoy your new dog :)

• I’ve just got my belly button pierced and I have 3 blisters between the two studs.
  

  No problem, glad I could help :)

  Possibly that may have not helped while she was piercing it, if you have any concerns you could always pop into the studio to ask her as well. I’m sure though that if you have antibiotics they will prevent any bad infections, the most important thing is KEEP IT CLEAN!! Keep doing as I said in first post, when the blisters have gone stop with the powder and keep using the seasalt for at least a couple of months. (You will be able to judge when to stop by then) The key to piercings is they can take a while to heal, keep them clean, don’t poke at it, try not to catch it on your clothes, basically apart from cleaning pretty much leave it alone! and once it has healed you won’t have any more problems :) (And if you ever did think it was getting sore again in the future just revert back to salt water immediately for a few days) At least it’s not a cartilage piercing! I had one done at the top of my ear in October and it’s still not fully healed yet! I’m still using salt water! Your belly button should heal much quicker than that! No reason for you to remove it.

  The key to piercings is to keep them clean, they take a while to heal but honestly from years of experience with them if you do as I suggested it should heal beautifully. Any concerns go back to the studio where you got it done. I take it that it was a good place you went? welcome for advice. :)

  Hopefullyy you’re not. From experience of going to doctors they normally just end up advising you to take the piercing out though. Mine did so I ignored him and went back to the studio (who are brilliant and have done all my pirecings for years and now do my daughters too!) If you think you might be allergic try changing stud for one made of titanium….unlikely to get a reaction to those :)
