A popular motorcyclist magazine whose name I forgot rated cheap helmets and expensive helmets. The said that the DOT rating was the determining factor not price. The $50 DOT rated helmet protected just as well as the $1000 DOT rated one.





Snell had differeing criteria that the magazine thought weren't really applicable, but if a helmet has a SNELL rating then it is just as good as another SNELL rated one regardless of price.





I bought my helmet based on 1. Price and Manufacturer.





I found three DOT helmets using Google for less than $100.00. I went to the local store to find my head size by trying helmets on. I then bought the helmet that fit according to where it was made. The maker is in Washington state.





If you want to try before you buy, I'd recommend Cycle Gear.





If you visit a dealer to buy accessories, shop around ALOT.
To be quite honest. Yes you do pay for safety and the most expensive are better but with industry standards etc the biggest difference is comfort, weight and sound. The sub 拢100 helmets will protect you but will not be as plush as the arais and shoeis. Good boots and protective clothes. Personally im very into good solid gloves and cant understand people who dont wear them. The hands are the first thing that touches down in a crash and if they arnt protected. Put this way, with a broken leg you dont need to ask a friend to wipe your bum.


If youre not into dayglo posing gear youll get stuff cheap, besides real bikers spend the money on tyres and trackdays not on designer leathers for the street corner. Next time your out look at all the virgin knee sliders and the untouched edges of the tyres.
helmet- make sure its DOT and snell certified and comfortably fits- its expensive b/c its what is gong to prevent your skull from getting crushed or your face getting rubbed off when you dump your bike(when not if)





jacket- make sure it has armor on the contact points and it has a snug fit, you dont want it bunching up the way a loose bathing suit does around your feet after a dive into the water





gloves- again make sure they fit right and try to get the kevlar ones thats what i wear





boots- DONT wear tennis shoes when riding its great way to mess up your feet and the shifter tears through street shoes pretty quickly
check at cyclegear.com they have some of the best prices on riding gear ,I bought my Joe Rocket jacket there for $100.00 on clearance and my KBC full face helmet only ran me $150.00 ,Frank Thomas gloves ran me around $50.00 ,so if there is a cycle gear store by where you live go in and see what they have they are always having a sell I almost bought a second KBC full face helmet there for $80.00 on a clearance sell ,and most KBC helmet's are DOT and Snell approved
I order all of my stuff from http://motorcycle-superstore.com ...My helmet was $95, my gloves were $35, and my jacket, with armour, was $80...Plus free shipping. Plus if by accident or mistake you ordered wrong size, they will exchange it, no problems. Also I bought a helemt that was defective, 2 times...they took care of it...I highly reccommend them. They also have some awesome female riding gear. Go there and check out the ICON GO GO Bombshell stuff. You will probably like it ( http://motorcycle.motorcycle-superstore.鈥?/a> ) The things are a bit $$$, but your girl friends will hate you, the guys will love you :P What kind of bike do you got?
whaT'S YOUR BRIAN WORTH?


Spend as much as you need to and research it online to get the best head protection that money can buy.


May not seem important now, but when you're sliding down the highway headed for a tree, you won't be thinking about how you saved money on a cheap helmet.
stick whit leather stuff not nil on leather jacket gloves helmet its what fits u best try some helmets before u buy don't just go on-line the helmet has to fit right boots its something very important and if u have the extra get a back protector go on sportbikers.net for more info if u want cheap stuff go on craigslist.com
if you wanna be really safe. theres pants and boots.





helemt is the most important part. aslo just make sure there saftey approved because there is usually diffrence by name


and added features





like ventalation, noise... and so forth.
There are some fully certified helmets that are very affordable. Just make sure what you get is dot and snell certified and fits you well, a $600 helmet isn't 6x better...maybe 10% better if that. Shop around.
you can't put a price on safety


take it from a girl who was on the back of a bike that broadsided a car


i still got hurt but not as bad as it could have been
Because they protect your brain. So use them, and pay the money. And don't buy a helmet you can't try on. Its you head.





Do you know what EMS calls no-helmet riders? Organ donors.
do you want to cheap out on the single most important piece of safety equipment you'll need?


if you want a cheap helmet, go on ebay there are cheap dot helmets on there.... i wouldn't.... but i'm not cheap
If you have a $9.95 head, then buy a $9.95 helmet. I chose to pay a little more for mine, thank you.
$10 helmets are for $10 heads............





mine cost me $700 Australian dollars..





but I think my heads worth it..
KBC modular helmet is good bang for the buck.


Wear boots that cover your ankles. NON steel toe.
Ummm, boots.

What would your reaction be if someone told you that your advice..?

through Y/A Got someone killed / commit suicide?


A) GUILT GUILT GUILT / Shame





B) Not Care





C) What the F*** people listen to my advice on Y/A?





D) I'll take a popcorn with that troll, please.What would your reaction be if someone told you that your advice..?
You can see how incredibly ignorant some people are by reading these answers....but solid confirmation that most advice given on this site should not be taken seriously.


It's hard to understand how someone who is suffering immensely feels and how they are thinking.


Remember, that the majority of people who are in such a situation are quite young - they are extremely impressionable and their behavior often seems irrational.


It would of course depend on what I said, but if it was extemely insensitive and uncalled for I would definitely feel guilty.


Anyone who would make such a comment and truly not feel guilt over its consequence is garbage, plain and simple.What would your reaction be if someone told you that your advice..?
Definitely ';D.';





And if it WERE true...they don't deserve to live anyhow. Anyone who is so *stupid* that they'd commit suicide because of Y!Q%26amp;A is an idiot and doesn't need to be sharing oxygen with the rest of us.
D
The Only advice I give is Godly and uplifting.





But I would care if someone killed himself...regardless if it's on Y!A or not.
A, D





I would hope that my answers to questions will be uplifting. With the view of Religious belief they are controversial, but hopefully they make people think.





If I found out that someone killed themselves because of one of my answers, I would feel sorry and empathy and would question my replies. It is the only human thing to do.





Of course you may be Trollish and not Human.
A first D later.
C
It would reinforce the idea that there are a lot of mentally disturbed people on this site.
I would feel horrible about it. But then again, I hope that no one here really takes things that seriously.





Most of the other sections are places for honest discussion and the providing of facts. But this is religion, where facts are few and the opinions as varied as the people who frequent this section.
D
Depends on the situation. I would never ever agree with harming an innocent person.





Suicide - what one does with their own body is their decision. If someone does not want to live anymore, why make them?





Murder - As I said, hurting the innocent is WRONG. But - if someone is on here talking about their stepdad who rapes and brutally beats them everyday and they gain courage from words written here and have to commit murder in order to save themselves from such a horrible person that doesn't deserve to live, more power to them.





I don't think there is anything wrong with killing a bad person no matter who you or they are.
Probably a combination of B %26amp; C. In the end we're all responsible for our own actions. Anyone even a little upset by something written here should log off and never come back because this place is playland compared to the real world.





If someone is driven to suicide by someone else's differing opinion, or they took advice from a place like this, they were living on borrowed time. They didn't have a chance of surviving in this world.
C. Frankly, if they killed themselves after reading anything on here, they were probably going to do it anyway.
A!!! Gosh. I should hope that never happens. Even if it isn't directly, it still contributing.....sheesh
E) Epic lulz
I would wonder why anyone would think my advice was that influential.
Relax. It seems half the folks in here are only roleplaying anyway.
Well re: suicide-- since the person would be dead - how would anyone on here know about the death - let alone know that they had caused the suicide/death.





If someone came on Y!A and said they were going to suicide - I wouldn't believe them.





Re: killing someone -- it isn't something I would be running around admitting so again - I would believe them.
E) Wonder what they did wrong! Know that they did something wrong.
A and then D
D, combined with the realization that if anyone were so screwed up that the anonymous words of an anonymous poster on the internet could ';drive them to suicide'; or murder, then they were WELL beyond any help I could have offered in the first place.
D.
d
That is tough. I wouldn't be giving advise anyway only an opinion and they are like butts everyone has one.

    I need advice about someone who is cutting herself?

    I'm 22 and my sister's nephew (he's 14) told me that his 12 yr old girlfriend cut herself about 25 times on her wrists. I feel obligated to say something and I have her name and the phone number to the school she goes to. Am I making the right decision about calling her school counselor? I don't know this girl but I really feel like I should tell someone to get her some help. Any advice would be appreciated.I need advice about someone who is cutting herself?
    Run, don't walk to get some help for this kid who is in pain. Yes, tell her school counselor and anyone dealing with teens and preteens should be up to date on these types of self-harm injuries. Here's a quick article on what it's all about:





    http://www.helpguide.org/mental/self_inj鈥?/a>I need advice about someone who is cutting herself?
    You are going in the right direction. She definitely needs help. Think of how you would feel if something more drastic happened and you never said anything.


    You're doing the right thing by contacting someone who could either handle the situation or contact someone else who could.
    Yes, you are definitely doing the right thing and helping this girl by contacting her counselor, she really sounds like she needs help very badly but is probably scared to seek it. Don't hesitate to do it.
    Yes, call her school or her parents.
    Call her parents.
    Yes, you need to call the counselor about this girl. She's needs help. You maybe the one to save her from killing her self!!





    P.S. Just wondering is this girl from Idaho??
    she is tryng to get attention......anyones for that matter.....she has troubles and she needs some attention.....give her the attention and try to talk her into seeing a psychiatrist
    Make the call!!!!---how will you feel if she really did do herself fatal damage and you had done nothing.
    Try these. God bless you.





    1-800-DONTCUT Help for ';cutters';





    http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/c鈥?/a>
    your sister's nephew's girlfriend???? have you met this girl?ever seen the cuts? or are you seriously considering spreading an unconfirmed rumour to someone who could cause all sorts of problems in her life? you will certainly make things worse .you don't even know her! mind your own business!!!and save your money and go and buy yourself a life!
    YES, she needs help. Call the councilor, call her parents. Hopefully they will get her the help she needs before she really hurts herself...
    A person who will hurt themselves needs professional help. I have a family member like that. She needed to get on meds so she could think more clearly. Today she is wonderful. Thankfully we got her to a doctor in time.
    Dont call her parents, you dont know what her personal situation is. She is suffereing from something that is making her do this. The reasons she is cutting herself could be very traumatic for her, and her parents may just be the worst people to call. What if her parents are abusing her, and I am not saying they are, because people who self mutilate do so for many reasons, but a lot of them do it because they have suffered some kind of abuse...and I just wouldnt take the risk of involving the parents right now until it is clear what her problem is. I find School counsellors are also not the best people to involve either because they may not have the experience with self mutilation. If I were you I would ring the local mental health team, if you have one, or a psychiatric institution and ask them what is the best thing to do in this case.





    Its a really difficult situation if you dont know the cause of this girl cutting herself....get some professional opinions, not from people on here...its too dicey, you are risking the well being of this child if you take matters into your own hands without first finding out from a professional person what would be the best thing to do. A counsellor is not a psychiatrist. Most self harmers are referred to psychiatrists for treatment....so that would be the far better option in my opinion.





    Good luck, this girl needs help, but she needs the right kind of help....please do not take anyones advice on here....Ring a professional.

    Need some advice on how often is too often?

    I met this girl about a month ago, when I hang out with her everything else seems distant and I feel happy, joyful, peaceful and for filled. I need to know how often is too often to see her. I do not want to seem desperate and chase her away. I am not desperate to have a friend, but the feeling I get when I am with her I AM desperate for.Need some advice on how often is too often?
    not more than twice a day and not less than every other day


    do not cling or be nosy let her share what she wants you to get involved withNeed some advice on how often is too often?
    陌f you feel your annoying her because of you being there chill a bit.陌 had the same problem.Hope everything goes well xx
    Just make it natural and dont stress it, go along with the flow.
    Fortnightly is enough or maybe wait till she calls you.
    Depends how often she wants to see you. I would say more than 3 days a week is kinda pushing it but my girlfriend and I see eachother about 4 or 5 (not all day but about that much)
    fyi ths fullfilled lol....din spend too much time with her, make those moments special and not very often maybe once or twice a week

  • A young teen that might be pregnant and could use some advice (HELP)?

    um well we have had sex about 5 times without a condom


    and lately i have been eating more and when i get i start to kinda feel sick.. i took a pregnancy test and it showed negative.. but i have had some of the early pregnancy signs. i think it might have been too soon to test and that is why it showed negative. i need to know how long it takes before your suppose to test? Any Advice would help im pretty young and new to thisA young teen that might be pregnant and could use some advice (HELP)?
    The best time to take a test is the first day of your missed period. Taking it to soon could pop up negative. The best time to take a test is in the morning right as you wake up. If you need any help I hope I can do something for you hope this helps some whatA young teen that might be pregnant and could use some advice (HELP)?
    It's usually best to wait until you've missed your period. There are tests that you can get that can read 5 days before your missed period. But each day closer to your missed period can give you a more accurate reading. I'm pregnant with my third baby and I knew I was pregnant after 3 days after conceiving because I was nauseous and had most signs of pregnancy, but it's different with every women. I know how anxious you are in wanting to know if you're pregnant, but the only answer I can give you is to wait closer to your period to take a test. What was the date of you last menstrual period? If you know, keep track of this just in case to trace when you're getting close to your next period. Also it's good to know this just in case you are pregnant, they will use this date to tell your baby's gestational age. Good Luck and I hope you get the results you want!
    a lot of people say around your missed period, but its different with a lot of people. im 18 and my son was born exactly 2 months after my b day, so when i was 17, it took 2 months to even show on a test that i might be pregnant. my last period was in november, and i didnt find out i was prego until jan 1, and i got tested 2 weeks in a row . i was in and out of the hospital for 2 weeks because i couldnt eat or smell anything.. so if i was you, i would defenitly go to the hospital and tell them you want a BLOOD test for pregnancy. that will defenitly tell you right away if your even in the early stages of being pregnant.
    If you haven't missed your period you should be fine. I was a young teenage mother so I know what you are going through. But do you want a child? You need to stop having unprotected sex or go get yourself on birth control. Having a baby is a lot of responsibility that you don't understand at your age. There are places you can go to get protection for free. Be careful.
    You should wait until after your period is expected to appear before you test. You can get a free and confidential test at your local non-proft pregnancy place- http://www.optionline.org/advantage.asp You do not need parent permission, and the counselors there are awesome.


    I wish you luck!


    %26lt;3 Kelsey
    just dont stress out it will make it work you are probably just making yourself nervous calm down because if you are to nervous then your period will be late.
    you should wait until your missed period before testing and a week after your missed period is more accurate.

    Car electrical matter of not knowing if the battery is charging? Have a volt meter but need advice on reading?

    Any general advice appreciated. It is a Nissan, 1986 model. With motor off and ignition on the volt meter shows about 11 volts. Shouldn't it show 12? Let me know. Thanks.Car electrical matter of not knowing if the battery is charging? Have a volt meter but need advice on reading?
    Minimum voltage reading when at rest is 12.5.When running at fast idle ie 1500rpm,reading should be 13.5-14.5 with all electrics on,lights heater demister etc.Before doing this,disconnect both bat terminal clamps ind clean the bat posts and clamp internal surfaces until bright metal show,then cover with battery terminal grease and reassemble,Nissan's have a habit of crap terminal connections.If any of the test result in a reading of less than 12.5 v,substitute the battery,use jump leads if necessary,it's only for test purposes.if the readings change to normal,higher,then the battery is shot.if the same readings come up,then the alternator is shotCar electrical matter of not knowing if the battery is charging? Have a volt meter but need advice on reading?
    With ignition on, the voltage will drop. 11 means you probably have a weak battery. What does it read running? It should be between 13.5 and 14.5 Volts.
    The battery voltage should be 12.7 with the engine off and around 13-14 with it running. Check a car that you know is good for a comparision

    PARENTS- what advice did you give your child that is being BULLIED at school?

    My daughter is 11. Some girls keep picking on her- as a parent, naturally I want to intervene. Since she is old enough to learn to stand on her own, I'd like to give her advice at home that she can use at school.PARENTS- what advice did you give your child that is being BULLIED at school?
    Well, I was bullied by other girls. My mom was the guidance counselor at my school, so yeah I didn't want to do that. Encourage her to speak to a guidance counselor!! It needs to be reported. It can stay confidentcial, so that the bullies wont know who reported it.





    Tell her first to ask them to stop. They might not know they're actually hurting someone. If it doesn't stop, then tell her to go to the guidance counselor. You should be happy your daughter tells you these things!!!! Most wouldn't!PARENTS- what advice did you give your child that is being BULLIED at school?
    As a kid who was bullied in elementry school...dont let it go. What ever you do...DO NOT tell her to try to deal with it or solve the problem herself. As bad as it might be, you need to go to the school if its getting to bad to the point where she does not want to go to school. Talk to her teacher...her real friends will stick by her though it.








    * if it is just teasing, it will escalade to other things...if you dont want to go to the school about it...teach her some comebacks and ways to stand up for herself...if i would have had help back in the 3rd grade i would have been so thankfull...as a junior in highschool its much better.





    hope i helped

    I'd say, learn a martial art, for the RIGHT reason: self defense.





    What I did, was I enlisted my beautiful boy into the study of Tae Kwon Do. I emphasized and stressed to him it is CRUCIAL that this martial art exists to enable one to Defend oneself. Never to be the agressor. He is doing great. By the time he turns 10-11, I doubt he'll be bullied that much. I doubt he will be starting any trouble, too.
    Teach her to stand up for herself, self defense classes are wonderful. My son was picked on and refused to fight because he said he would get in trouble. I didn't really want him to fight but I wanted it stopped. The teachers and administration did nothing with the bully, therefore, I enrolled them in Karate. Well the child continued to pick on my son, until he defended himself. My son's life is so different today. He never gets picked on, and if he did he can defend himself. Kids that bully rarely stop because you talk things out. It worked for me also when I was in 6th grade.
    Bullies want her to react. What are they teasing her about? Say they said she's short, when she should say Glad you noticed. She should also say something back to them, something they wouldn't like being said to them.
    My mom told me to tell a teacher.





    My dad told me to warn the bullies and if they persisted to thump them and make an exaqmple, take the one hour of det. and show everyone what i can do.





    My bro told me to kick the **** out of them.





    DONT GET INVOLVED! THE RIDICULE CONTINUES WHEN PARENTS GET INVOLVED!


    If you do get involved she will be called ';mumas girl'; and ';big baby!';
    I tell my son, ( pretty much the smallest kid in his class) that he needs to not back down. Even if that child is threatening him physically. He needs to stand there, look him straight in the eye. Even if he is scared out of his mind. Cause here is the thing; In the states, unless that bully actually does physical harm there isn't much the school/teachers/parents can do. Sure they talk to the kids but not much is done.





    I don't tell him to say hateful things back to the bully, or give him permission to be physical back if it did escalate to that level. But I did tell him that all this bully was looking for was for him to be scared. And if he knew he was scared ( which he was) he would never stop and my son would be miserable.





    If he stood there looked him in the eye and basically did nothing, he challenged him, not by physical violence but by telling him ';NO'; if he told him to give him his lunch money, or if he told him to tie his shoes. And if he ( the bully ) actually physically touched him to immediatly get an adult.





    In the end this kid did physically hurt my son. And though was hurt ( required three stitches) he learned that this kid was a baby himself. He did it to make himself feel better. As barbaric as it sounds, and the stitches made me cry more than they made him cry, this bully never bothered my son again.





    Long story I know but I will tell my daughter the same. DO NOT BACK DOWN. STAND UP.....





    PS With girls: honestly, do nothing, tell her to rely on the girlfriends that are NOT picking on her, do not say one word to the girls who are that will keep them going. Tell her to act as if they do not exist, Girls don't hang onto this stuff long, they will move on if they see that she isn't phased. They'll move on to another unsuspecting girl. Sad but very true. Women/girls, NEED attention and if they aren't getting it they'll go to where they will.
    if it isn't too bad, just tell her to either learn to laugh at herself or make up comebacks to different insults. if it is really bad, consider switching school...
    i know u probs dont wan to hear this, but i think u should tell the school if it is really upsetting her or if it is really bad. for example if she was being called a lesbian like i was then the skool need to know, but if it is something petty then tell not to get the skool involved because there was one girl who told the skool that me and my best friend was bullying her even though we wer enot, we just didnt see her as a friedn so didnt invite to meet us on the weekend ( that was it) then it did annoy me andi would have rather that she just ask if we could meet up.
    I told my son to avoid a confrontation with them, but to remember to think not react.


    My son just avoided the kids, and when they sought him out I told him to defend himself but with words- like throwing the situation back in their face or talking the other kids down.


    I told him if they became physical, which most of the time kids do eventually, to step away get an adult or if there isnt one to stand his ground without lowering himself to their standards. Most of the time my son uses his sense of humor to avoid a conflict, and makes light of their anger. It works for him.

    What is the best relationship advice that you have ever gotten?

    ';Stick with Philkillen, because he is The Best Man on Earth';What is the best relationship advice that you have ever gotten?
    At a wedding last year, an elderly couple offered this advice to the newly-weds:





    ';Don't sweat the small stuff.';





    Sounds simple, right? But I really thought about that long and hard and really took it to heart. I makes perfect sense.





    Before I get angry about something, I always stop and think to myself, ';Is this *really* a big deal? Is this even going to matter next week?'; 9 times out of 10, it isn't. So I let it go. There's no point in getting angry over dirty dishes in the sink or socks on the floor... or forgetting to pick up the dry cleaning. What is more important, winning a petty argument, or the harmony in your relationship?What is the best relationship advice that you have ever gotten?
    be real to your Queen, she is your temple, threat her like you want to be threated, she is your backbone to your foundation, you married her now make it manifest, build off the love the both of yall share and everything will be fruitful. that was the advise i got from some old heads.
    never leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

    Horsey question: I am going to meet my first horse on thurs, any advice?

    I really like horses but they do scare me. a friend of mine got crushed by one once and nearly died, so I am a bit nervous. Another friend is taking me to meet her horse so any tips to put my cowardly mind at rest would be helpful. I really want to enjoy and am excited, but also worried, I want to get bitten by the bug (not the horse)Horsey question: I am going to meet my first horse on thurs, any advice?
    when you go up to him, be sure not to raise your hands or anything in front of his face. some horses kind of freak out if you do. you can also take some pieces of carrots and give them to him. be sure to pet him and he will love you. NEVER WALK BEHIND HIM IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HE WILL ACT!!Horsey question: I am going to meet my first horse on thurs, any advice?
    I think this will actually make your decision a bit easier. If the horse makes you feel nervous don't buy it. I bought the sweetest horse ever but she still turned out to be a challenge and going from riding school horses to experienced horses is a whole new world. Taking time to buy a horse that makes you feel safe when your around it is time well spent and is better than spending money on training bills and other sorts later. Go for a horse thats easier than what you think you can handle because you can never be prepared for having your own horse because a lot of responsability lies on you. I don't want to make you more nervous just if you buy a horse and you think its a bit of a challenge for you but itll be ok it probably wont be you will just get put off riding and buying a horse suitable for you and sound will strengthen your liking for horses.
    when you go just let the horse sniff your hand a little like you would to a strange dog. then ask your friend if she has any treats and see if you can give the horse one. then just start by petting him on the neck or somewhere where you feel comfortable. ask the owner if they know where his *sweet*spot is and scratch him there. Also horses can sense what your feeling(nervous scared excited etc..) so if the horse is a calm all around horse he will sense that you are scared and make sure he is extra careful around you. however if he is a young and rambonctious horse he may feed of you fear and become jittery and flighty himself so ask the owner what he is like and make sure the owner is there with you. you'll be fine horses are great animals. there is a place down where i live called s.m.i.l.e.s. and they are a horse farm. at this farm disabled kids and kids that were abused and dont talk or any kid can come and pet, brush and or ride the horses. They use the horses as therapy and it works. there was this girl who had a disability where she couldnt talk well so she just didnt talk. this lasted a couple of years and so they took her there and she started talking like there was no tomorrow, and now her language has improved. well i hope you have fun!!!!!
    Horses love mints...or any other treat. Speak softly and make no sudden movements that might spook the horse into attacking. Don't be rough with it.





    Eventually...they'll get used to you and it'll show that they like you! If you're nasty to them at any time...they'll remember and will either ignore you, run away or attack. Be nice and they'll love you.





    You'll be fine. They're quite nice animals.
    Take a packet of Polo mints with you, it will be your friend for life.

  • Who can give me professional advice how to get out of serious debt? I am a family man with a good job.?

    I am an engineer, married, and have 3 children. The mortgage and credit cards devour my complete salary. House prices have dropped here in Germany - I still owe more that the house is worth. The strain is taking a serious toll on our mental health.Who can give me professional advice how to get out of serious debt? I am a family man with a good job.?
    Take the Dave Ramsay approach. Pare down your life to the bare minimums, he calls it ';beans and rice, rice and beans';, no vacations, sell your expensive car for a beater, etc. Then start concentrating on each debt, one at a time, smallest one first, minimum payments on the rest, until the smallest one is done. Then proceed to the next. He is on the radio, internet and satellite (XM/Sirius).Who can give me professional advice how to get out of serious debt? I am a family man with a good job.?
    I can't give much advice but cutting the phone -which you obviously need because you are on the internet.





    You already know who you owe money to, so write to them telling them how much you can afford to pay them a week/month. If you find you can't pay anything then your wife needs to work (if she doesn't already). If she can't work she needs to find a way to make money from home. It isn't worth allowing debt to pull you both apart. You can only write to the people and explain your situation. I don't know if they have bankruptcy over in Germany but that would clear your debt. I was once advised not to take that route because it is demeaning and the stress is just as bad as being in debt.





    Stop worrying about it though because it doesn't take the problem away it just stops you thinking clearly and causes untold stress.





    You are obviously trying to pay your bills off as quickly as possible - ask the credit card people if they would stop adding interest as it just makes the bills bigger - I would mention that it is taking a terrible toll on the family and if you can't pay them you will have to declare yourself bankrupt which you would prefer not to do because you like to clear your debts.





    I wish you all the best - I have been there and know what it's like - I didn't owe a lot of money but I owed money. I pray you find a way and can look back and say to your wife ';we got through it';





    Take care
    Pay off the most expensive card first but pay off the minimum on the others. Once the expensive one is paid off use that money to pay off the others. Cut up cards when finished. Cut your spending radically . Take your own lunch. Economise. Sell of old possesions, take in a lodger. Catch the bus to work ,only have one car. Buy second hand . Shop at aldi. Good luck
    get in touch with payplan Im with them I had serious debts,Im now getting there they have a website do get in touch as I know about sleepless nights guts rumbling and worse of all lies.
    Have you tried Myvesta? They are a not for profit debt help organisation in the UK





    http://myvesta.org.uk
    pay your mortgage and screw the credit cards as long as they are not secured on your house they cant take it , see a financial advisor to sort it for you
    Write down all of your expenditure on a daily basis, both you and your wife, you would be surprised the amount of money you waste on a daily basis on silly things, and cut out what is not absolutely necessary.


    Cut up your credit cards. See if you can negotiate with your bank


    for reduced payments on your house for a few months to ease the strain.


    Ask for a raise, overtime to bring in more money, and sorry if your wife does not work, then maybe you both ought to look at her working, if it not possible because of the children,see if there is something she can work at in the home.


    Good luck with this I hope it helps.
    I have been there. Start by realising that there is a problem and go from there. Either get sound financial advice or;-





    1/ Pair most things down to the minimum. Lose holidays, put away the mobile, just don't use it. If anyone asks any questions tell them. I did and they respected that I no longer buy rounds in bars etc.


    2/ Pay the minimum on all of your debts but allways meet the mortgage.


    3/ Start using cash and cut up the cards. I used a pack of envelopes, 拢5.00 per week for utilitiy bills put in and marked off. 拢25.00 per person for food a week. Take just the cash to the supermarket and that way you wont spend too much. Depending on the age of the children they can be involved. They can help plan the meals and make certain that you stick to the plan. Snacks and treets cost a lot.


    4/ Concentrate on one debt and pay off more than required. This should should be a high cost debt- high interest. Once this debt is paid off then use the now avaliable cash to concentrate on the next debt and so on.


    5/ The hardest, you have to change your life style and that of your family.


    This is from taking sandwidges to work, your family doing the same etc. You don't have to lose the family over this but it can mean that instead of the children having the latest bikes, game stations they have time with Mum and Dad. In the long run it can bring the family closer.


    6/ You have to be strong. As soon at the plan is in place and working you will see that it is workable.
    if you are in a good job try to test the market on house offer then downsize it ain't worth your health mate notify your employer for poss able overtime your wife may work if not try renting it out wile you look for cheaper rent
    Hun this is real advise......sort out your priority debts from your none priority





    priority debts ...;morgage/water/ household living/ gas/ ele ...etc





    none priority debts... credit cards....overdrafts etc





    wright each one a letter with you ref number explaining the difficulty your having...by law they can not refuse you this you can also ask them to stop the interest etc ..


    there are leaflets out there that explain exactly how to sort your finances out





    or





    you can go to the c.a.b and they will do all this for you......for nothing....
    I am currently seeing my financial advisor about an IVA. That is an Individual Voluntary Agreement. It is a five year plan that will see all of my debts paid off. Anything over that will get wiped out after the term ends. Some debts cannot be 'written-off' but most can. It is quite involved but it is a viable option. When it starts your creditors cannot contact or pester you anymore. The weight off your mind will be worth the aggro. Try it, you've got nothing to lose.





    Good luck.
    i feel so much for you! my husband is in the forces and its not a great wage and every month the money has gone even before its come in loans credit cards etc but listening to martin lewis on bbc radio 2 helped and now i subscribe to his money saving tips every week and check his web site every day he really has helped us. i hope you get it sorted soon
    My friends got out of debt by simply not spending money. They did this by developing a budget and managing to it. They stopped buying ';toys.'; That is, don't buy depreciating assets. Don't buy a car, TV, cell phone, etc. If it does not add to the value of your estate, don't buy it. It's a very painful change in behavior, but, financially speaking, it works.
    I think you need debt crisis counselling; they can help you manage your money and may even be able to get some of the credit written off.


    You don't say how far in debt you are, but its time to cut down on your expenditure to the minimum, and sell as many of your unwanted items as you can. Do some car boot sales and have a clear out.


    I hope every member of the family is aware that there is no money to spare, and doesn't waste any. All you should be spending money on is the utility and credit card bills and food.


    You need to analyse every area of expenditure and figure out how to cut back. I know the cost of living can be quite high, especially if you have 3 kids, but if you cannot manage on 1 wage your wife also has to find work.
    go and see a proper finacial advisor maybe at your bank seek Professional help it will ease your mind and burdens their is always something that can be done to help.
    You and me both......


    Best of luck.....and if you find a solution...I would be most grateful for any help!
    send me as many BMWs as you can and I will sell them on ebay


    we can both get rich. No seriously you need to consolidate your credit into 1 which will reduce you monthly out goings. our buy a house in the UK to rent the market here is going mad. house prices can rise 10 -15 thousand in 3 to 4 months on the right house. you could even rent for a year then sell. and boom !!!!

    What was the most memorable advice your mother and/or father said to you?

    10 pts for most heartwarming, funny, or inspirationalWhat was the most memorable advice your mother and/or father said to you?
    try jiggling the handle!





    (toilet)What was the most memorable advice your mother and/or father said to you?
    When you started to have a family of your own, you must try to be at home during the time of storm....etc....





    Taking it word for word, it will only be applicable when there is a big storm that will hit your area. But when I started to build my own home, with my wife and my children, then, I realized that my father wanted me to be a responsible person and should always attend to my family, not only to a disaster but everytime when your family needed you most.
    Son whatever it is you do in life, be the best doing it, even if it is selling drugs do it better than anyone anywhere. not that he was promoting selling drugs or negativity just be the best I could ever be.





    BTW he was military army branch and obviously lived by their slogan be all you can be and then some. so that is waht i have done.
    uhm, funny: my fiance's dad used to tell him and his big sister when they were young to ';go play in traffic'; when they were being irritating. My fiance cried the first time, because he thought his dad was being serious.





    I had a lot of backstabbing friends in high school, my mom promised me that someday it all wasn't going to matter and I wouldn't be friends with anyone from high school anymore. She was right.





    My mom used to tell me I could talk to her about anything. So one day I came home from school and asked her what a blo w jo b was. She asked me never to say that word again and told me to call it a BJ. She never did answer my original question though.
    Getting pregnant at a young age REALLY, REALLY changes your life around!





    All men are the same, sadly. (The sadly part if from me Lol)





    The first 2 years of a relationship is all lovey dovey and then after that it gets worse. (And better too though, in my experience)





    You do NOT have tell you husband everything! They can rub it into your face later on.
    Advice... Im not sure





    But i remember when I was really young and 'uncool', my dad and I went for a walk. Not usually a very mushy-gushy man. But we had a heart to heart and he told me I was a pretty girl. I dont know, doesn't sound like much, but at the time it really touched my heart.








    Add: Oh I remember another one. My mom told me to never tell my family that I hate them, (out of anger) because you will always be sure to regret it at some point.
    My dad always asks me if I have a knife with me. Whenever I go on a trip, out with friends, or even the grovery store at night. He even asks my boyfriend if you carries one. It's hilarious. I do keep one in my glove box and next to my bed to keep him happy lol.
    ';It only takes one time . they just wanna get in your pants, and some stay there .';





    They said this to me on the first day of highschool, they refused to explain what it meant and it still bewilders me to this day .
    the ones I rememeber best are..


    money doesn't grow on trees


    always try your best, thats all I ask


    if you do that again, your eyes are going to stay that way


    I hope you have children that are just like you (every parent's revenge!)
    Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers
    when i was a heartless teenager my father told me that I would need him someday and its true I need him all the time til this day.





    another one... Dont make someone a priority if your only an option to them.
    My dad always hated liers. I am the same because of that. He passed away when i was just 12 so not many memories unfortunately.
    Be the best you can be...if you can't, be the fastest so you don't get caught!
    If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweety and wipe the seatie.
    Live life with no regrets and keep moving forward.

    What is the best relationship advice you've ever gotten?

    im just a little curious to see what kind of things people have to say because everyone has their own views about relationships. if you see someone's answer that is a good piece of advice, give them an 'ol thumbs up! if you like my question star it:)What is the best relationship advice you've ever gotten?
    Dump her and go out with me was the best advice I ever got. I did dump her and went out with the other woman and guess what happened? I married her 45 years ago and we are still going strong.

    Why do feminists who claim they are single think they can offer relationship advice to other women?

    Feminists seem to like to have in mind an idea of ';how a relationship should work';, ';what men have to do to please women';, ';what women should do to make a relationship work'; etc. etc.





    But at the same time claim things like they are independent or will never get married. Most will never be in a relationship for the rest of their lives and have been through some sort of painful divorce or separation, were ';abused';, dumped etc.





    What makes them think they can give relationship advice if they are an abject failure at relationships themselves?





    Furthermore many feminists are lesbians, yet still persist in giving heterosexual women relationship advice? Why? They know the least about men out of anyone. Men know about men, white men do, black men do, a transsexual arguably knows about men, heterosexual women may know something about men, but lesbians?





    They know nothing.





    So why do they think they are an anywhere near decent source of relationship advice?Why do feminists who claim they are single think they can offer relationship advice to other women?
    I have asked the same question before. If their own relationships rarely work out, why would they try to advise other women? It was the same with some of the most prominent feminist leaders of the 70's. They weren't married and they didn't plan to marry, yet they thought they knew best for all the married women and thought they knew how they felt about marriage. I read an old, old newspaper article about one of the early feminists...I believe it was Elizabeth Cady Stanton...and it said she spoke at a big convention and her husband was so distraught he left town. I'll bet she was real happy in her marriage, don't you?Why do feminists who claim they are single think they can offer relationship advice to other women?
    ';Furthermore many feminists are lesbians, yet still persist in giving heterosexual women relationship advice?';








    How do you know this? Is there some kind of credible site that lists the statistics of how many feminists are homosexual versus heterosexual?





    If not, don't generalize.








    Besides, I have to agree with Wendy.


    You're the pot calling the kettle black, eh?
    Where did you get your information about feminists? Seems as you know nothing about the subject. Who do you think worked so hard for women to have the right to own property and be able to vote? They were married feminists. Just because they are single does not mean they are not in a relationship. Ever hear of Susan B. Anthony, Alice Stokes Paul, or Elizabeth Cady Stanton? Enlighten your self. Take a college course called Women's Studies.
    Calm down dearie, its only advice and opinions. Doesn't mean what anyone's saying is right or wrong in relationships. These people probably have been in relationships before and are just giving their account of their experiences, likes and dislikes. A lot of lesbians may have gone out with guys in the past before coming to realise their true sexuality.





    Everybody is capable of giving advice, regardless of their situation. Loads of single men give advice to other men about women, and wtf do they know??





    You need to get a grip.
    to give advise they had to had a bad relanship there selves in my opion?
    I won't go into the whole feminism argument.





    But...





    To be able to give advice, you don't have to have been in the situation yourself, or even practice the advice you preach - in fact, the only person who has ever been in exactly the same situation is you.
    Because they have clear heads and know that most guys are only about one thing that some of their sisters are not aware of.
    Here is my advice for relationships. Don't get too attached!





    That's probaly why I am still single.
    Because you are not attached doesn't mean you know nothing about these relationships and how it works..





    ';my spouse commits adultary all the time despite me giving him/her chances what should I do';





    ';I don't know I am not married yet I have no idea what it is like getting cheated on in a marriage so I am not entitled to give you my opinion';





    ';My boyfriend blah blah blah';





    ';I'm a lesbian, so I don't know anything about relationships except for lesbians relationships because we all know that the romantic love between two women is very different from the romantic love between a men and a woman';





    You have shown a very ignorant thinking in your post. Many single women and men have friends who are not single and we see and hear a lot of things.
    That's funny, I see YOU on here all the time offering ';dating advice'; to guys who come to this forum to ask women for advice. Yet, you are a confirmed ';marriage boycotter,'; who hates women, and only wants to ';use'; them (as you seem to think they are useless for anything else). There is no way you have ever had anything close to a functional, healthy relationship with a woman, ANY woman. You completely objectify women, so why do you think that YOU can offer advice to men seeking knowledge from women?
    Lesbians know nothing? I thought you had cornered that market with you constant insults towards others.
    Being a femanist has nothing to do with sexual preference. Being a femanist means being for equality and respecting eachother. Personally I'd rather have advice from someone who has had failed relationships to learn from what they did, or didn't do...and to me a relationship is a relationship be it heterosexual or not. Oh, and men can be femanists too, not just women. I know some guys who are femanists and who are heterosexual and some of the nicest and most respectful guys you could ever meet. And yet you say femanists know nothing. What makes you an expert on relationships and femanism?
    You wouldn't ask a mechanic for advice on mixing drinks, so why would you ask ANYONE who is single for advice on relationships? Rule of thumb: As long as that person is single and probably wasn't successful in his/her previous relationships, there's no reason to ask him/her for love advice.





    Being feminists has got nothing to do with sexual orientation. Just because some claim to be able to provide sound advice to women about relationships doesn't mean they are right/wrong or if we should/shouldn't listen to them. Feminists are just people, and people do make mistakes sometimes.
    because they know how they WANT to have a relationship to go.. but those ideal relationships don't always work out..





    but i don't think that all feminists are lesbians.. and they do know some stuff..
    They haven't been single forever, you know. Many feminists have been in love before 鈥?with MEN, too!
    yeah, I'm wondering the same thing myself.
    Every Woman has Her own opinion about everything. Some of Them are right. More often that not They are merely giving voice to Their own anger and frustration, Self contempt and heartbreak. If is, after all Human nature to interfere in the affairs of others. I'm (We all are) doing it right now.

I think the best advice I ever got was from my older sister who told me ';Always get back on when you fall off.'; For people who didn鈥檛 grow up around horses, this is more difficult, but it is a good rule nevertheless. A lot of people let one incident ruin a lifetime of fun because they can鈥檛 face their fear and make the ride end in success. This advice isn鈥檛 meant to get inexperienced riders on horses that are too much for them, but if your pony has an ornery moment and leaves you in the dust, isn鈥檛 it rewarding him to return him to his pasture and never ride again?





    Anyway, please tell me your best advice, and where you heard it. It's fun reading how others have learned valuable lessons and pass on the advice to others.What is the best horse advice you've ever gotten?
    For me, the old training slogan ';the long way is the short way'; is one of the best things I've heard. If you take the time to do things right when training a horse (although it takes longer) you will run into fewer problems in the long run (which makes it shorter because you don't have to retrace your steps from not doing it right the first time). I always apply this to my training methods and take pride in knowing that they all have a great solid foundation to build from.What is the best horse advice you've ever gotten?
    First, I'd like to say, I really enjoyed this question and the answers! Way ta go!! Some of these I've heard. And are great advice. So I won't repeat the one's that are. I have two sayings though that come to mind:


    1.This one may not be exact it's been so long ago I heard it but.... Soft heart = soft hands, soft hands, =soft mouth, It's not the bit but the hands on the bit.


    2. A good rider can make a bad horse look good, but a bad rider can make the best horse look bad.
    ';the ground will be there to catch you';





    this is the most helpful advice i ever gotten, and the only advice i ever gotten
    A horse is only as smart as his trainer. Treat him with kindness and love him. Go ahead, spoil him.
    i cant decide... 1 is that 99%of the time it isn't the horses fault... and 2 is to never let the horse do what it wants if u want to go left well the horse does to !
    Two golden rules, doesn't matter how well you know the horse, never turn your back on it and when riding, wherever you look is where you will end up so if you always look at the floor, you'll eventually end up down there. Those where 2 of the first things I was ever told and they hold true to this day.
    I was trompled as a 5 yr old by a stallion, I was knocked out and didn't know what happened untill I awoke in my dads arms, who asked me if I was ok but soon to yell at me for not listening to the things he had been telling me throughout my childhood. Anyway, he told me real quick to respect a horse and watch what it is saying.... I got the picture and understood what he had been telling all along. Basically, horses are not toys, or soft cuddly creatures. They are large dangerous animals and you have to learn to be responsible for your actions around them, you never know when a horse may do something you never expected out of it. Keep your eyes and ears open and learn to ';read'; what a horse is saying.
    ';It's 95% rider error.'; Which is so true. We sure like to blame our horses, but in reality, we are usually giving the wrong cue, mixed signals, or improper training. Much as I'd often like to beat on a horse for doing something wrong, this reminds me to step back, take a deep breath and re-evaluate the situation. What did I do wrong?





    ';If you are going to loose, look good losing.'; At least look the part. Look like you practiced, you know what you are doing, and that you gave it your all. You may not win, but you, your horse, and everyone else will know it wasn't because you didn't try.
    the best horse advice i have ever gotten was how to get a horse to come to me! and it really works!!! Get the horse alone in the sand arena (if you have one, if you don't, just do it in the pasture.) This is kind of like playing hard to get with a horse. Look at the horse and wait for the horse to look at you, when it does, turn around and cross your arms! make it look like you are almost mad at the horse. look back a little bit, and see if the horse is still looking. If not, walk up a couple of baby steps. if the horse looks, turn away again. when the horse isn't looking, take another couple of baby steps. When the horse looks again, turn away and crouch down to get smaller than the horse. this normally works with a horse that is somewhat curious. if you have the time to do this with a shy horse, go for it. I have done it with both!!! just take your time and be patient!
    Back when I was just getting to be a rider- really learning the ropes, really showing, really winning, my trainer - a man capable of riding just about anything, and formerly showed Grand Prix as well as jumped 7' fences before said to me ';you can't love 'em if you're gonna ride 'em';





    I thought, what a terrible thing to say, but the truth was, he was right. As I got better and better, and started really down to the nitty gritty of showing, going to the better shows, jumping higher jumps, the love faded away and the need and desire to compete and have the horse WORK outweighed the whole reason I started riding in the first place - I just loved horses.


    I went through a lot of horses over a short period of time, buying and selling them because they showed with me for a year, or because they weren't shaping out to be the show horse I wanted them to be. Sent a lot of really good horses down the road to the next guy because I stopped loving them and just pursued showing. It gets under your skin like a sickness and you truly can't see beyond it.





    Now-a-days, I have returned to my roots so to speak, and don't really show any more, besides the occaisonal one day family./fun show if I have the chance or desire. I love my horses once more. Ironically, both of my horses are broken and can't be ridden, but that is of little concern to me anymore. I love them to pieces and their hearts are made of pure gold - I have learned through sour experience not to pass along a truly wonderful horse.
    Always get back on.


    Always end on a good note.


    Look after your tack and it will look after you.


    You are not a rider if you have never fallen off.











    Gift horse - that one makes me laugh - both of mine were given to me free - they both have problems but hey ho !
    ';Stand back here comes keenan!!!'; I was wandering the feilds passing out treats with my friend, and the herd was a little wild that day. i need to explain keenan. he's a 26 year old geld who thinks hes a 3 yearold stallion. he started charing strate at me!!! my friend yelled, ';Stand back here comes keenan!!!'; which probably saved my life!!!
    I guess as a barrel racer, the best advice that I've ever received was relax and breathe. Some people have an unconscious habit of holding their breathe while they run barrels, then after wards they are out of breathe and can not remember their run. When you learn to control your breathing that 15 second run feels like an eternity to you because it all seems to play out in slow motion. Then after the run is over you can look back on your run and see either that you done your job right or what you still need to work on.





    The next best piece of advice that I received was never tell someone, your pupil, what they did wrong, it sounds so negative. Instead, tell them what you still need to work on.
    ';Practice to play, not play to practice'; . Practice at home and then you get to enjoy playing at the show, instead of worrying about how you horse will perform. I have this on a sign in my barn to remind me everyday what it takes to be able to go out and have a good show. Best advice I ever got.
    never get on a horse that doesnt look ridable.





    before you get on any horse always ask yourself it she is ridable





    ';is she ridable ??';
    I agree, I think you should get back on, unless it is a horse you never should have gotten on in the first place. In that case, let a pro handle the situation and watch and learn.
    I guess after 35 years of riding the best advice I ever got was from my husband. He told me about 2 years ago that it is better to get hurt around horses being cautious than being completely fearless. Everyone would prefer not to get hurt at all but lets face it, it happens to EVERYONE. I will elaborat on this if you like but you would have to im or email me.
    I think the best advice I have ever gotten was: ';You're a better rider than that. Trust him that you'll make it to the other side.';


    My trainer told me that a long time ago when I was jumping.





    Also some more advice that I had gotten are:


    ';Get back together and do it so you end on a good note. No matter if you have to walk it, trot it, or lower it.';


    ';Look where you want to go and your horse will follow.';


    ';If you look at the ground, you'll end up there.';


    ';More leg is better than no leg.';


    ';Toes forward and heels down!';


    ';You learn something at shows even if you don't get the ribbon.';


    ';Bond with your horse to make the ride/time more worth it.';


    ';Feed your grain in small quanities (or they'll colic).';


    ';Don't let one fall ruin your life.'; (This one has two meanings: get better leg and mor expirence so you don't fall so you don't end up in the hospital AND it can mean get back on after you fall, don't let it ruin your life with horses.)
    My first 4-H pony was a bucker. I was like seven, so I wasn't very srong. A riding insrtuctor told me to stay on to put my feet forward hard in the stirups and sit back. I have been riding sense I was 5, so I didn't have too much experience at the time because I had only ridden our dead broke horse, Tyme, so that was a major change!
    Your advice is the best advise we always get back on when we fall off at our barn.





    The second best advise we follow: ';Always put your horse's health and well-being before winning a ribbon';.
    the best advice i've ever been given is use common sense.





    k so.. maybe not an amazingly cool saying or anything.. and not all that specific.. but really common sense is all you need.





    Don't slap your horse in the face, because he'll be head shy. Always let them know when you walk behind them. Be careful around their back legs. Don't sneak up on them.





    I mean, come on! All of this stuff is stuff that anybody could figure out if they thought about it! A horse is a thousand pound animal that could kill you without even trying. Just don't do anything that could get you hurt, AKA: common sense.
    an old adage comes to mind:


    ';never look a gift horse in the mouth';


    a horses age is apparent in its teeth, so examining them in front of the ';giver'; is an insult.
    Run faster, Jump higher and live longer !!! A very old horse trainer taught me that when I was young - I am the old horse trianer now - lol!
    i have several,


    1. There are no problem horses, only problem riders.


    2.trust your horse and let him trust you.


    3. If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question or, asked the question wrong.





    then there are the quotes:


    1. He who needs a mounting block had better not fall off in the middle of the pasture.


    2. There is just as much horse sense as ever, but the horses have most of it.


    3. If you start getting nervous about getting hurt, you will be... If you are worried about the danger, it's time to give up.


    4. Riding is not a sport, it id s passion. If you do not share the passion, you do not know the sport, and therefore are wasting your time.


    5. A good horse and a good rider are only so in mutual trust.


    6. It is the difficult horses that have the most to offer us.


    (that one i have found to be almost too true)


    7. To be loved by a horse or any animal, should fill us with awe- for we have not deserved it.


    8. The love of a horse is just as complicated as the love for another human being... If you never love a horse, you will never understand.
    KISS - keep it simple stupid. this came in handy when trying to teach my horse new things i would often end up asking for 12 things at once instead of breaking the task down into small steps and combinging all of the skills i learned. For an example of this think about how you do a gate in trail class and then break it down

  • I just purchased the weight watchers kit off ebay and was wondering what advice/ stories people have to share?

    I am not able to pay for the monthly membership fees, so at the advice of a friend, I purchased the starter kit w/ calculator online and am waiting for it to come in the mail. In the meantime i'm anxious to hear what people think of the weight watchers program and hear their success stories and advice regarding it. I'm looking to lose 55 lbs over the next year.I just purchased the weight watchers kit off ebay and was wondering what advice/ stories people have to share?
    Good Luck and with your enthusiasm you WILL have it to begin with but just like all DIET programs it will not be something you can live with forever.





    A good food plan of moderation and eliminate NOTHING and try and exercise some, just parking at the end of parking lots everywhere you go is exercise, is the most effective way of losing weight but much more important KEEPING IT OFF.





    Again good luck.I just purchased the weight watchers kit off ebay and was wondering what advice/ stories people have to share?
    weight watchers is a great program is you look at it as a lifestyle change and not a diet.......you can anything you want as long as you count the pts.


    i have gone from a size 26 to a 22 since christmas and have not given up anything....your habits and cravings will change in time if you give it a chance....here are some great sites i use....

    I am a 24 yr old female headed to Air Force OTS, what can I expect and any advice to help me prepare?

    I am really nervous because this means a lot to me and I want to do my best. I would really value a female's perspective on what it is like and any tips and advice to help me survive.I am a 24 yr old female headed to Air Force OTS, what can I expect and any advice to help me prepare?
    I gave the OTS Finance briefing for over 2 years.





    The first 6 weeks will suck while you are the underclassmen. But those 6 weeks will pass and then you will be the upper classmen to push around the newbies.





    In terms of preparation, depending on the make-up of your class, about a 1/3 will be prior enlisted or from the AFRES or NGB. These are the people you need to get with, make friends, and learn how to play the game correctly and ';survive';.





    PT-wise - report in shape and able to not only pass, but exceed the push-ups/crunches/1.5 mile run standards for your age and gender group. This will make the physical burden a lot more bearable.





    Expect to get yelled at and stressed out. At most times, you're going to get more than you can handle physically, mentally, and academically. Just remember to keep your military bearing and professionalism in check, pick up things quickly, and you'll be fine.I am a 24 yr old female headed to Air Force OTS, what can I expect and any advice to help me prepare?
    Survive? Your are being melodramatic. It is the crusty old sergeants at your first duty station you need worry about. Don't think I am just talking about the males either.


    Being enlisted scum I cannot advise you on OTS but I did want to take the opportunity to pass some advise. After OTS find 2 mentors to assist and advise. They will tell you to find a senior officer what they won't tell you is to seek out the crusty old sergeant who will be equally valuable and helpful in a different manner.


    Good luck, I really think you will survive.
    I hope you're good at volleyball.





    Air Force OTS is like girl scout camp. Your field exercise is in a tent by day, then back in the barracks (dorms) at night. The rest of the time you're in class, watching TV, or playing on one of the 20 volleyball courts (I'm not exaggerating!)





    You already did the hard part - getting accepted! Congrats future Zoomie 2LT!
    Here is their website, not sure if you have looked at it yet. What I know from Army OCS, is that even though it is much more relaxed pt wise from basic, it is much more demanding leadership wise. You are competing with other soon to be officers to be the best. You don't want to stand out at basic, but you definitely do at OTS. Best of luck!
    I'm leaving for Air Force basic training (Female 22) and I plan on going to OTS if you don't mind me asking you something. How hard was it and how long did it take to get into OTS?

    My baby 6 weeks old but might be havin another need some advice!!!!?

    i am just wondering if this has happened to anyone else!! i went to the toilet the other day and a funny looking thing came out of me (to much info i know but am sorry) it was a pinky like discharge with a tissue like lump in side it i have no idea what it is and just wondering if it has happened to anyone else?? i did a pregnancy test the next day and it came up that i was pregnant again!!! please can someone give me some adviseMy baby 6 weeks old but might be havin another need some advice!!!!?
    You could be pregnant so get your doctor to confirm, but the same thing happened to me with the discharge stuff. I think its just hormones - same with the pregnancy test, you are still full of pregnancy hormones and will be for a long time.My baby 6 weeks old but might be havin another need some advice!!!!?
    Your hormones are still all over the place so you could get a positive test. After I had my first I was having my period twice a month which was a nightmare but sorted itself out after about 3 months.
    Hiya Hun,





    You need to get to your Doctor if you still have it i would take to him/her so they know what it is, as for being pregnant again i found out i was pregnant when my first was six weeks old it is hard work but well worth it, we have six children girls aged 7-6-5-2 and boys aged 6-4 all planned and it's great we love them all to bits you just need to be organised.
    Not there yet but I heard people say that you will get a positive pregnancy test after giving birth but I am not sure for how long. I doubt you are pregnant but the best person to tell you is your doctor or any other doctor.
    It could be something left over from your last pregnancy, such as a part of the placenta, but you need to go to see your doctor and tell him about it
    I had something similar happen to me in 2005. I had my daughter in April. In late May I had spotting and thought that it was just my period trying to return. Then a couple days later I was freaked a little so I took a test and got a positive result. Turns out I wasn't pregnant and the doctor said it was possible that my hormones just weren't back to normal yet. The test at the doctor's office was neg.


    I would most definately call the doctor though to be safe! Good luck!
    The pregnancy hormones from your baby would be gone by now - so I'd guess that u r pregnant again! Congratulations! I got pregnant 10 weeks after my first baby was born. It happens! Really nice now though as they're 9 and 10 and best friends. Good luck!
    call %26amp; make an appt. with ur OB





    good luck
    I thing what you discharged might have been afterbirth, this happened to me, and can be dangerous if it does'nt come out, I think being pregnant so soon after your last birth won't be good for you or your unborn, have you seen your doctor about this new pregnancy.
    It could be still lining from your womb coming away...i bled for 6 weeks after having my son. Have you been having sex already....took me 2 months before i let him near me again!!Go to your doctor, but maybe its possible to still have some of the pregnancy hormone(that is picked up when doing a pregnancy test) when it was only 6 weeks since you gave birth...good luck!

    I am a MGT with Walgreens and am thinking about applying to ADSM. Does anybody have any advice?

    Any information is helpful! I want to go in with as much knowledge as possible.I am a MGT with Walgreens and am thinking about applying to ADSM. Does anybody have any advice?
    Its a lot of hard work, but its definitely worth it.


    I work at one of the Happy Harry's stores, and after the Walgreens transitions, all of the store managers and EXAs had to go through ADSM classes. They both said that it was probably the most exhausting experience they've had in years (That should be more reason to get it done, and get it done right... the first time) but that they learned so much, and it was actually knowledge that they could apply immediately.





    Even with it being such a stressful situation, they both did very well. My EXA at the time was the class MVP. This was about three months ago. She was just promoted to store manager last week. Hard work pays off. Just make sure that its something you can fully commit yourself to before you make any obligations. I'm not sure if you can go to ADSM as a MGT, or if you have to be an EXA. If you have to be an EXA, make sure you're comfortable with the possibility of being a store manager. Obviously, ADSM performance must be weighted seriously when it comes to any type of promotion for EXAs.





    Good luck!

    I am having a difficult time obtaining a surety to get licensed as a professional fundraising. Any advice?

    It is only $10,000, which I know is not much concerning an amount for a bond. I have been told that it is ';a difficult bond to write';, even with the elaborate form from the state. This is something I really want to do for non-profits in my area; as I know I will be very successful at it. Please help.I am having a difficult time obtaining a surety to get licensed as a professional fundraising. Any advice?
    How many agents have you checked with?





    It's NOT a difficult bond to write, unless you have serious financial difficulties. It's highly likely, that you'd have to have an irrevocable letter of credit from your bank to stand for the bond - or you can get someone to cosign the bond for you.





    I'd suspect you've talked with an agent - or agents - that either have no idea what they're doing, or just don't want to bother. See, there's a fair amount of work for that bond, and it's not going to make very much money for the agent, so there's no incentive for them to actually put in the hours to get it written.





    Call another agent.I am having a difficult time obtaining a surety to get licensed as a professional fundraising. Any advice?

  • Under doctors advice we had sex two times during the time of ovulation ? is pregnancy possible?

    after takin scan doctor came to know that i have been ovulated and adviced to have sex and we did it. and also doctor told me to not to have sex again. and given progresterone and folvite tablets.wil i get conceive this time? plz reply me soon.Under doctors advice we had sex two times during the time of ovulation ? is pregnancy possible?
    There is a possibility that you have conceived but no one here can say yes or no to your question.





    All you can do is wait until your period is due and take a testUnder doctors advice we had sex two times during the time of ovulation ? is pregnancy possible?
    We all have 25% chance of conceiving each mth, really there is no more chance then that even in healthy couples, its all due to well timed sex,





    But i would say use opk and insure to have sex 3-4days b4 ovulation as you are more fertile then and also day of and day after in case of late ovulation





    Good Luck!!
    Sure, we all know better than you and your doctor and we can all say you are most definitely pregnant.


    Don't be so daft, of course we can't tell you if you're pregnant. You had sex, it's possible. Do your own test, if i pee on a stick for you, you'll get the wrong result.
    right after ovulation occurs you are more likely to become pregnant than any other time, having sex twice doubles your highest possible chance. you have fresh eggs. take a pregnancy test 5 days before your next expected period. good luck =]

    No advice for him, heck I might ask him for advice on how to pull that one off.





    Go on with your bad self homie!What would be your advice to a guy dating a woman that makes way more money than him?
    Does that matter?
    rub her feet, tell her she is beautiful and desirable, support her, be there for her


    but then I'd give that advice to a guy dating a homeless chick
    That doesnt matter
    well, my sis married a guy who made far less than her. however, that didnt stop him from trying to better himself. people should continue to learn and grow from their relationship, not let such a thing be a problem, and why should it? she works longer hours and he took up the slack by making dinner, running errands and household chores during the week and she did the major stuff on the weekend. they have a great relationship and he's a super guy...needs to be cloned actually.
    Go for it. I made twice as much when I was dating my husband. Now I'm a housewife-- he pays me back:)
    Get over it.

    Recently installed an ';American Standard'; tub fixture, now the pressure in the tub is gone, any advice?

    I went through the checklist, flushed the pipes, etc... It seems to be in the fixture itself, like it cuts down the pressure.

Or is there a way to adjust the valves?

  • Can someone help with polynomials. Any advice will be great...?

    Can you help with this problem????


    3x^4-3Can someone help with polynomials. Any advice will be great...?
    i will assume that 3x^4-3=0 and that you are solving for x





    3x^4=3, by rearranging





    x^4=3/3





    x^4=1





    x = 1 or -1Can someone help with polynomials. Any advice will be great...?
    If the ^4 refers only to the x, and you're not really meaning to say (3x)^4, then you can't do anything else with this problem; the expression can't be reduced any further.





    In general, remember the order of operations: First take care of exponents, tthen multiply and/or divide, then add and/or subtract.





    Hope this helps! Feel free to email me if you have any further questions.
    Mistake: What do you want?


    I suppose that you may want to factorise the expression.if so


    please see the following:


    3x^4-3=


    3(x^4-1)=


    3[(x^2)^2-1]=


    3[(x^2-1)(x^2+1)]=


    3(x+1)(x-1)(x^2+1).....(for real expression only)


    3(x+1)(x-1)(x+i)(x-i)....(for complex expression)
    It is not a problem !


    You have an expression. What do you want to do with it?

    Considering asking out a great woman who happens to be a single mom... any advice?

    I'm 27, never married - she's the same. Just looking to avoid stupid mistakes. Any constructive advice would be appreciated.Considering asking out a great woman who happens to be a single mom... any advice?
    Just go with the flow so to speak. Be considerate of her child though. Make allowances if she can't do things because of her child. Be understanding, compassionate and caring.


    Having a child make it harder for you to go out spontaneously. plan things for at home, and include the child in your plans sometimes. she will like that, and so will the child.Considering asking out a great woman who happens to be a single mom... any advice?
    Always respect the fact that her children come first. Don't ever ask her to choose between you and them. Don't be hurt if the kids don't warm up to you right away. Remember, they are children and you are the adult. Good luck!
    MAYBE INCLUDED THE CHILD ASK IF YOU COULD TAKE THEM TO THE ZOO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IF THAT WORKS OUT THEN MAYBE YOU COULD ASK HER OUT ON A DATE JUST YOU AND HER
    first avoid sex,next get to know each other,just as friends, and take your time!!!refer to each other as friends to the children...only when your relationship progresses,do you change that, title. include the kids in as much as you can, if you are truly interested. keep it clean!!!!
    Dude, if she is a single mom, she is probably waiting for you to ask her out. Just be homest with her about how you feel and will problably tell you that she feels the same. But remember, you will have to love what she loves, and that her child(ren).
    Treat her kid like you would treat her!!! Always be nice!!!! Remember her kid always comes first!!
    it depends on how close she is to her kid





    if they are real close include the kid on the date





    if shes frazzeled pay for a sitter and a night without the kids
    When you ask her out let her know that you are more than happy to pay for the babysitter.
