Mine would be: think before you speak!What is one piece of advice you wished someone had given to you before?
I wish my parents would've kept their mouths shut. They praised me constantly for being smart, and efficient, and talented. They had a 'piece of advice' for absolutely everything I did because of it. I felt like a failure by the time I was in 6th grade because I hadn't been able to maintain that idea they had of me, when all I did was get my first ';c'; on a math test. Now, at nearly 20 years old, with every single decision I make I can hear my parents telling me that I need to be the best because I am capable. I sabotaged myself for not being able to keep up with my own ';capabilities.';
If I am not getting perfect grades, if I am not number 1 in my class, I am not doing as well as I am able to, than it is not worth it.
I like to call it a lazy perfectionism complex.
I am not blaming my parents for my failing myself, that was my doing, but it would've been a lot easier had they not praised me to high heaven when I was in kindergarten.
Luckily, I don't want children. I would screw them up royally.What is one piece of advice you wished someone had given to you before?
not to worry and care what people are thinking about you.
I spent so many years of my life stressing over what people were thinking of me that it made me lack so much confidence and I had very low self-esteem.
I've now learnt that there's no point wasting time caring what strangers are thinking or saying about me, because chances are, they're probably not thinking anything and probably don't even care!
Take each breath as if it is to be your last, live each moment to it's fullest, speak each word as a final thought. Life's to short to take things back.
mine would be:you are remembered %26amp; judged for the bad things you do,good things are too easily forgotten.
Im 22 and have no savings. I will teach my children the importance of saving money. I wish my mum had done the same with me.
Dont leave really hot hair straighteners on the floor :(
Cos i just trod on them :(
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
being angry with your boss is no reason to quit your job.

What is the best acting advice you have for me?Come on, just about anything will be appreciated.Please?
I'm sort of a really bad actor and I seriously need to brush up my acting skills, so I desperately need the best advice any of you can give me, thank you so much!What is the best acting advice you have for me?Come on, just about anything will be appreciated.Please?
Memorize the role, not just the lines.
Ask from your characters standpoint, who what when why
Continue to add layers to your character. Don't put too much pressure to have your character completely built from the get go. Start by adding little things, expressions, annunciation of the words. Just keep adding and building him/her.
Persistence
Practice
Research-is he/she a doctor? lawyer? con man? Find out how these types are, their habits, their speech, etc.
Confidence, but at the same time, don't become egotistical. Unfortunately, as actors we are the low men/woman on the totem pole.
Never apologize for fumbling lines, just regroup and move forward.
Never break character
Draw from real life experience to recreate needed emotions, but remember, no one goes from angry to sad to happy in an instant. Realize the transformation from each emotion, like in real life is gradual, not instant.What is the best acting advice you have for me?Come on, just about anything will be appreciated.Please?
Acting is Reacting. Study your cue lines just a much as you study your own lines. Listen to what is being said to you and to what your character is saying. (A very common mistake by beginning actors is not listening in character)
Read your script every day even after you know your lines.
Analyze your script and your character. Pay attention to what other characters say in their lines about the character you are portraying. And pay attention to what your character is saying in order to gain insight into the character you are portraying.
Choose physical aspects of your character. Like a certain walk or how they carry themselves. For example if you are playing a character that is very powerful...choose to stand very tall and walk with purpose. If it is a character that is shy or easily intimidated mabye the character would walk a little slower and maybe the shoulders would slump down and inward a little. You will be surprised at how little physical traits will affect the vocal aspects of your performance.
Take your time. Don't rush things. Be in the moment of what is going on in the characters world. Remember each time you say the lines or perform this is supposed to be the first time the character is hearing these things or saying the lines. You, as the character, are having these conversations with the other characters for the first time.
Find something in your character that you can relate to. Sometimes it is easier to go through the script and find out what the character is feeling. Write the emotion out to the side of the line. Is the character angry, jealous, sad, happy, excited, etc... Isolating the emotion the character is feeling at that moment can help your delivery of the lines.
As an actor you have to be a detective and a psychologist. You have to learn to read between the lines and figure out what makes the character tick so that you can relay that through your perfomance. If you dig deeply into the script then you will find something to connect to the character that will help with your performance.
Keep plugging away!
Here is some of my favorite ';acting advice';
Learn your lines and don't run into the furniture.
Less is more.
Acting is reacting.
Don't just do something, sit there.
There are no small parts, only small actors.
And my absolute favorite trick:
Every scene is about love. What is it your character loves? Play that in the scene. Love is the strongest human emotion and is therefore the easiest to use to connect with an audience. Every character loves something in every scene, ALWAYS. Finding it, playing it, that's the trick.
';You may be turned down again and again but remember try, try, try again.';
go to an acting school. Or stay after with your acting teacher to learn more or ask freidns for help.
Get training. Get into a good acting program to learn technique that you will always be able to fall back on until it becomes second nature.
Shift your focus in a given scene from you to your scene partner. That is where you will get your stimulus from.
Don't act. Be.
Before you go into any scene, know what it is you are supposed to do and do it.
Understand the character, what he says and does and why he says it and why he does it. Know what his motivations are.
Do your homework and fill in the blanks that you don't see in the script or receive from the director.
Work on building strong public solitude. (Ask your teacher what it is.)
There is certainly more. Also learn the business side of it all. It will help you tremendously.

I think the best way to practice your acting is to get a monologue book. just read some monologues using different accents. try to realize that you want to become the character, don't overreact. Keep your words crisp and clear, even if it means saying each sound of every letter slowly. Don't mix your words. i.e., wanna, gotta, or slurring two words together, (';make him'; could turn into ';makkim';)
Be positive that you are confident, and, most importantly, make sure that you know what you're doing. When you get up onstage for an audition, and not do what you're supposed to, you'll make a complete fool of yourself. Of course, in auditions, you want to think outside of the box. You dont want to stand there and recite a monologue word for word, but you don't want to jump around the stage like a baboon, or add so much emphasis to your words that it takes away from the actual character you're portraying. finding a happy-medium is tricky but it certainly pays off.
i act in front of my mirror every night. my friends and family call me nuts and tell me i need to enter the physc ward, but it is definitely worth it. Don't be afraid to express your feelings through your character. if your character is supposed to be sad, think of something sad in your life. Acting well is harder than people think. Ignore their comments and keep up with your exercises!

-speak loudly, clearly, and slowly
-be prepared to fill in for someone if they forget their lines.
-don't look down into the audience, it looks better if you look upwards or out over the audience.
-keep your body towards the audience unless instructed to do otherwise by the director.
and most importantly.........
Don't piss off the Director because they can easily replace you.
Here are some tips for acting
Always be honest, once you can make a part believe able then you can be more theatrical.
Read the script and make sure you understand the lines your saying
be confident, very few people just start out great, it takes passion and dedication
start playing characters with in your gender and age range
see if there's an experience in your own life (or in the life of someone you know) that will connect you to the script.
relax and don't let your nerves get to you.
Memorize the role, not just the lines.

Have you got any kind advice to happy and optimistic thoughts?
I mean to replace misery with optimism.Have you got any kind advice to happy and optimistic thoughts?
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2I5NrJr6ti鈥?/a>Have you got any kind advice to happy and optimistic thoughts?
make a point to tell yourself something that is positive and will make you happy when you wake up and b4 you go to sleep. put it all over your room. also research this thing called ';the secret'; it teaches about positive thinking and how to bring it on yourself
Well... what's causing your misery? If you can find the source and do something about it, it will make things easier. But if you want to be happy, you gotta act like it first. Smile, a lot. Help out other people. Be a friendly person to be around. Always be the one to make people feel better. And soon enough, you will be a happy person, because you make others feel the same way.
Hey College funds....my sympha 2u, happiness is a human concept applied by other human.
Nature has nothing to be happy or unhappy with, be part of it. Breath the air, appreciate the blue sky, feel the warm wind on your cheeks and live.
We are here for a very short while, so enjoy it whilst you can.
First of all, you're on the right path just by asking that question. Change your thoughts little by little. Try new things. It doesn't have to be extreme. Explore the world. You don't necessarily have to travel, just learn about things around you. Good luck!

What is the best financial advice you would give someone?
This could be any info or advice that you think is important as far as investments, credit, saving money, etc.What is the best financial advice you would give someone?
I'll try to keep a complex answer as simple as possible but this would be the basic recommendation that would hold true for anyone, at any age.
1. Learn to live on a cash only basis for at least 2 years before considering ANY type of credit. This includes creating and living within a budget, and learning to prioritize your spending.
2. Within that time, learn to put away savings. At least $50 a month should go into an account for emergencies (like when your car breaks). If you have a family, you need a bigger emergency account. Ideally it should have about 2-3 mos of your living expenses in it or more (you can keep this in a money market or CD account to keep it available but get a higher interest rate on it).
3. Also you should work as quickly as possible towards putting away the maximum you can towards your retirement. The vast majority of Americans are completely in the dark as to how much money they will need to retire and many, many will end up living in poverty and/or unable to ever retire. Starting this savings as early as possible is a big advantage.
This means funding a Roth or Traditional IRA account to the maximum each year (for your spouse to if you have one) AND contributing at least up to the maximum match your employer offers in your plan at work. Better to max this too.
4. When you are ready to acquire credit, learn to manage it too and to use debt as little as possible, and only to buy things that are truly important and otherwise tough to get, like a house. You can finance a car, but you will be a lot more secure financially if your car is NOT a major part of your monthly expenses. It is possible to buy a car with cash, you just aren't likely to have as nice a ride. At least not in your early years. However patience at that point carries big rewards. Let your friends have an $800 mo payment, you'd rather be rich.
5. Don't forget that insurance is important too. Yeah, if you're single and haven't got kids, your need isn't that critical but there are advantages to buying at least some permanent (otherwise known as whole life or universal life) while you are still young. First of all, it will be a lot cheaper, and secondly, as you age odds are your health will grow to be less than perfect. People with imperfect health pay higher rates or could even end up uninsurable, so buying young protects your insurance rates.
A permanent policy that you've had long enough to build up a fat cash value also offers an extra safety net for money, and can even become a tax-free source of money at retirement age or for your kids' educational costs.
6. Cover higher insurance needs with term. Term doesn't build a cash value but is meant for temporary needs, such as the period of time you are responsible for your kids. For these reasons, it costs a lot less so you can really buy as much as you need.
7. If your employer offers disability income insurance, jump on it. It's cheap that way (and expensive if you buy on your own) and if you ever can't work for an extended period (and most people will have a period in their life when this is true), it will cover the lion's share of your missing income. I can't emphasize enough how huge this protection can be.
8. Likewise review your auto, homeowner's or renter's coverage periodically to insure they are meeting your needs.
9. Once you have the basic habits in place, you can begin to put away more money to invest for wealth accumulation. Sit down with a good financial planner and have them help you define your personal goals and build the plan to make them happen.What is the best financial advice you would give someone?
There isn't a 40 year old on the planet who doesn't wish they started maxing out all retirement accounts at 18.....
Never carry a credit card balance - EVER - did I say ';EVER?';
Don't just save 10% of your paycheck - save all you can in addition to retirement funds to get your emergency fund built as fast as possible....
No disposable income (play money) until you have a CD ladder in place. 3mo/6mo/9mo - get used to locking up your money now.....you'll be millions ahead of the rest of us.
Philisophically speaking:
You'll never get what you want until you want what you get. In other words, learn to enjoy the things you have now, instead of getting into the trap of always wanting more/better things. Of course, buy yourself enough so as not to look like a beggar, but remember that the more people get, the more they usually want.
Practically speaking:
Treat saving money as a fun way to build stability and security in your life, not as a way to ';get rich';. Instead of saying ';I'll only feel happy when I can afford a Lincoln Navigator and a huge house';, say ';What a dope! I paid half as much money as that guy for my house and my car, and all he gets to do now is pay more for gas and spend twice the time dusting! Meanwhile I can retire a few years earlier than he can!';
(and finally) Short and sweet: ALWAYS participate in any MATCHED 401k/retirement plan offered by your employer, even if you just give up to the amount matched and no more.
Five things:
1). stay away from credit (only use credit to buy a home)
2). always have money set aside for emergencies
3). save early, save often - while time is on your side
4). always pay with cash or check card (debit/credit card)
5). have a budget and follow it
Re: Lori's answer - NEVER buy anything but term life insurance. Life insurance is only necessary if you aren't self-insured. As long as you keep saving, one day, you will have more in savings (stocks, retirement, etc.) than your life insurance policy will pay. At that point, you are self-insured and don't need that policy. With whole-life and universal life, the insurance company gets rich off your high premiums and gives you a pittance as 'interest'.
save 10 percent or more of all money you make or receive!
My advice is like this : Work at home after your working hours or during weekend. Go for the internet business which require less of your time and the one that will not make you feel headache with web designing or which require IT knowledge. Second, choose the internet based company which offer you the opportunity and at the same time giving you the convenience to start the business where all the things are automated. Third, choose the business which does not require big money to start it. Think again, when you are earning money from the internet, you have the chance to get rid from an income tax.

Remember, You CAN'T guarantee wether you will get many fish or not by spreading your net into the sea, but u CAN guarantee that there is no fish at all if you never spread your net into the sea.
The most important advice that I can give you is to start saving as early as possible so that your money can grow
Stay away from stockbrokers until you have a substantial amount of money to invest. They are paid totally on commission

What's the best horse advice you've ever gotten about training?
I asked this earlier and all the trolls were out and I got stupid answers, so I'm hoping this will go better.
The other day someone asked what the worst advice was that people got abou training their horses, so I was curious as to the best people got about training and riding and caring for horses.
Please serious answers only.
Thanks for answering.
Happy riding!!!!! :-DWhat's the best horse advice you've ever gotten about training?
i saw your question earlier, and i saw all the trolls...how annoying lol. i started to submit my answer when i saw it had been deleted so here's what i put before:
';dont sell your horse';
i was sooo close to selling my horse. we werent getting along, we had dominance issues, he wouldnt listen to me, he would plow me over instead of going around me, and neither of us were seeming to have any fun (not to mention the up front cost!, especially when things weren't going well) but weve bonded so much since then, and we're such a match %26amp; i love him to bits :) im so glad i didnt sell
edit: i see that this says training advice, so my best advice would probably be..if someone screws up 99% of the time, its you and not the horse. usually the person is giving the wrong command or doing something confusing so dont blame the horse.What's the best horse advice you've ever gotten about training?
When breaking in/starting a horse 99% of people do NOT spend nearly enough time teaching a horse to stop. The horses brakes can be the difference between life and death, and many dangerous situations in between and yet people skip over this part of the learning process in a rush to move onto more exciting stuff. Alot of people also make the mistake of thinking that stopping to often or spending too much time on this and backing up will cause a horse that won't go forwards but this isn't the case.
It's simple: don't rush.
I have seen SO many horses ruined by doing too much too fast. From ring-sour horses with heaps of behavior issues to horses with actual physical issues like arthritis, going too fast will ruin your horse.
Starting anything under 2 1/2 under saddle is a huge risk- you're basically guaranteeing that the horse won't be sound when it's older.
Doing too much too fast in the way of jumping can ruin a horse's joints.
Rushing also makes horses ring sour, gate sour, difficult to catch in the field, biters, cribbers, weavers... all sorts of horrible issues are caused by rushing the horse!
The best training advice that I've heard over the years actually came from my dad. I was working with a mustang gelding who thought he controlled everything I did. I came home so frustrated one day because I thought that I had tried everything with him. My dad told me that if you want a horse to listen to you, you have to listen to them. Then next day I spent 5 hours watching the horse, talking to him, and just seeing how he acted in different situations. I've had that horse for 3 years now and he and I are inseparable!
Well, I kind of figured this out myself, but then I heard a top level dressage rider say it too, ';When you're riding (or training) a horse, ride him like he's the best horse in the world.'; That I take to mean have faith in your horse, believe he that he can do it, and you'll be amazed at how smart he becomes! And how light-hearted you become!
If you doubt your horse then you stop searching for ways to teach him --you give up on him.
My other favorite is a quote I like to keep in mind while riding--it was a reference to Nuno Oliveira the great Portuguese classical riding master, ';He rode his horses like a king, so they carried him like one.';
Aside from Carl Sandburg's poetry, the best advise comes from Bill Dorrance and Leslie Desmond, ';True Horsemanship Through Feel,'; and Mark Rashid's excellent books. The older people who helped me have unfortunately for young riders, passed on. Bill Dorrance, bless him, found a way to get a book written and Mark Rashid is writing some excellent books. What happens between me and any horse is a product of my thinking and how I am communicating. A horse can feel a fly on his skin, and communicates with other horses without a word. How much better can he read you if only you are clear in your intentions and quick to reward the slightest try?

'Your horse is a reflection of you..' Meaning, if your horse is doing poorly, then it is most likely your fault, not the horse's (after you rule out any truly medical/physical reasons of course). My farrier said this to me when I was 10 and having A LOT of trouble with a horse I was riding. Any time I am having trouble with a horse I'm working with since then, I think about this and correct what I am doing, generally it fixes the problem right off the bat.. This has saved me from many of the problems other people have I think.. Its such simple advice and its so very true I think. :)
Always stand at a 45 degree angle. It takes time and patience. Don't get mad at the horse because it's not the horses fault its your fault. If you think it's the horses fault step away and rethink about it and go back and try to work it out. Don't get on a horse if you feel unsafe it wont do you any good lol. And there are a lot more Great advice I've picked up in the yrs I've been working with horses.
';Listen to the horse.';
I don't think there's anything more important than that in anything involving horses. when the horse won't do what you ask, they're almost always trying to tell they're in pain, scared, or they don't know what you are asking. Horses can teach us a lot, too. they are most definitely more intelligent than humans.
in most ways.
sometimes they can be downright stupid xD. the school pony i ride sometimes got himself stuck in another horse's cross-ties when he tried to make a run for it in a western saddle... you can imagine how that turned out. silly blaze.
The best advise I got was to do your homework about training. If there is a specific thing you want to teach your horse learn about it yourself. Learn what the benefits are to teaching a horse to do what it is you want him to do. That way you will know when you start to teach him whatever it is you want him to do if he is getting the hang of it.repetition is your best friend. Pain is not. I was found that listening, watching and just being with your horse will tell you if he will pick things up quickly. When I taught my stallion to start working under saddle it was a piece of cake. I worked slowly, was kind to him, knew his limits And I was riding him in days after he was saddled for the first time. But don't over do it. If your horse is young think of it as just that, a youngster.They have short attention spans. short quick lessons when the horse does what you want him to do stop. don't drill and drill it into him. move on and come back to what he has just learned chances are he'll remember. Then it's time for reward. 'This approach has helped so many times.Correcting with a crop or whip does nothing but make the horse dread lessons. the only thing the horse will focus on is the whip and the pain it caused and you will get no where. Happy Riding!
The best advice I have ever been given was by the late and great horse trainer Ray Hunt. He said
';Make the right things easy, and the wrong things hard.';
I have tried to apply this to every situation and long as you keep this basic principle all other questions come in time.
Wow it's really tough actually... I think the best one is never, go behind the horse. Who knows what might happen. My cousin went behind a horse because he thinks he's SO funny to scare the horse. Instead... the horse kicked him in the face. But he's recovering.
your only as good as your worst problem
Meaning that your only as good as something you cant do very well and need to practice more of its mostly for dressage that i got that comment from my coach but for some reason i have always remembered it lol
you can walk behind a horse contrary to some of these answers, but you put your hand on it as you do so it knows you're there...
otherwise you can get kicked in short order.
The key is patience and consistency and never get angry at the horse. Most likely its your fault from giving confusing commands.
Most likely the problem your having is 99.5% the riders fault, and only .5% the horses!
Horses learn by repetition.
I'll never forget it and it has helped me train some super horses.
The same advice I give on a regular basis. Find a trainer who knows how to solve your problem.
make sure that when you get a horse it dosnt come from a horse mill. look up on where the store got the horse.
Never end a riding day in a bad mood. End it on a good note. Oh, and thumbs towards the sky.
when you jump cross country down hill or down a bank... think eat the birds and you will sit up straight. lolz its true. you will
Don't push a horse too hard. It will only make him stubborn and hard to handle.
Never stand behind a horse. =)oreal

Could you please give some advice to the following situation?
So I have a friend who is really nice. But now, she only wears all big brands, when she lies and tells us that she hates them! For example, everything that she has from aeropostale? It only has the logo on it. She is acting like all the other sluts at school. Help?Could you please give some advice to the following situation?
If you really were a friend you would let her be herself and not make such a big deal out of something that isn't important.

Can you still get careers advice in the UK if you're in your mid twenties and not in education?
I'm 25 and I still don't know what I want to do or how to use the qualifications I have. According to the people who analysed my CV this comes across in it and this is probably why I have had very few interviews in the two years I've been looking for work. Has anyone got any advice or experience on the matter that could help me out?Can you still get careers advice in the UK if you're in your mid twenties and not in education?
If you have a degree you can usually carry on using your university's careers guidance centre for a certain amount of time after graduation.
There are lots of websites on the net with careers advice - I think learndirect is probably the best one (it's not just about education but has some useful advice about career options too) prospects.ac.uk is useful for graduates, and if you type ';careers advice'; into google you will bring up loads of sites of varying quality. You can also find lots of careers aptitude tests, which shouldn't always be taken too seriously but can help give you a few ideas.
Some places have careers advice centres (usually the local job centre will be able to tell you if there's one in your town) that will offer advice to adults - my aunt went to one recently and she's in her late thirties.
You might also want to pop down to the library and get yourself out a few recent books about jobhunting and CV writing to see if you can pick up any tips.
My main tip would be to ask whether you are tailoring your CV to specific applications - sending out the exact same CV to an assortment of different jobs rarely works, you need to play with the basic formula. I used to work in a hotel and we got any number of CVs that gave us detailed accounts of the applicants excellent GCSE's and achievements on the football field, but no indication of whether or not they might make a good waiter or not - so they went staright in the bin.
If you're applying for an office job you need to harp on about your computer skills but you can be briefer about your customer service experience. If it's a shop job you can play down the IT a bit but emphasise the customer service.
This is really important.
Also, write covering letters expressing an interest or knowledge in the company - employers like people who look like they actually want to work for them, rather than just plain need a job.
Maybe you need to expand your skills too - local colleges often run heavily discounted courses for the unemployed- something like learning a language, or brushing up on computer skills might help boost your CV. Also, consider doing voluntary work - it looks really good on your CV if you've given up a few hours ona saturday to help out in an old people's home or with a charity fundraiser, and you can use it to demonstrate all sorts of skills, as well as show that you haven't just been sitting around doing nothing for two years.
Hope this helps.Can you still get careers advice in the UK if you're in your mid twenties and not in education?

Jobcentre Plus have a New Deal 25+ programme, which kicks in after 18 months of signing on. Or you could take the back way in. I think you can actually get fast-tracked onto New Deal provisions but you would need to be sure of yourself and impose on the Jobcentre staff when you ask. That's how my partner got on one.
there is loads of info out there regarding careers advice. start at the local jobcentre. make an appointment and go see someone about the problems your having. dont count out further education tho, it may give you an idea with what you want to do. good luck.
You can still go to the careers advice centers. They have less options when trying to help you but they can still give you guidance if you want it.
I went when I was about 23.
i would agree with the first 2 answers and go to an opportunity centre they can also help you with your C.V make it more appealing to the employer, confidence, high self esteem and life experience is usually what employers look for not necessary grades on paper, I've had lots of different jobs as i don't have a certain career I'm after either, from sales to care, think positive and be confident and you'll get the job you want
Depends on where you live - Scotland %26amp; Wales have all-age guidance services, England doesn't. Some Connexions services in England may be linked to an adult guidance team, so it is worth contacting them (these often target their assiatnce towards clients with few or no qualifications).

What is the best advice you've gotten to prevent/treat hangovers?
Have a glass of water in between drinks - take an asprin before you go to bed on the night you've been drinking and the next morning drink more water as well - good luck =)What is the best advice you've gotten to prevent/treat hangovers?
Decent sized meal before drinking, stick to one drink, drink a pint of water before you go to bed, more water and sugar in the morning - hot sweet tea. Your brain needs food and drink the next day - sugar and water is the simplest, fastest way to feed it.
The only real way to prevent hangovers is not to drink. Just make sure the night out makes up for how you feel the next day!What is the best advice you've gotten to prevent/treat hangovers?
When I used to drink to excess, I found 1 surefire cure. Drink a ton of water before you drink and before you go to bed. I mean several glasses.
This helps becuse the hangover is caused by dehydration from the alcohol and by drinking water not only do you counteract that you also dilute the alcohol in your stomach before going to bed.
That is why a person has cotten mouth in the morning, the body is dehydrated. The dehydration is caused by the alcohol.
Good luck. Glad I don't drink like that anymore.
Don't drink in the first place. (Credit my smart *** Aunt Jewel.)
My advice is to eat a meal that has some fat in it - something fried (wings) or something with cheese (fried cheese) - works for me.
You get a hangover because you're dehydrated - drink a glass of water once and a while as you hit the booze. Of course, this may make it more difficult for you to win drinking contests, but sometimes ya gotta take the bitter with the sweet.
Try the link below for more tips.
Please, have a designated driver or call a cab to get home - don't drink and drive.
The water ideas are good.
For a hangover - one to two lungfulls of pure oxygen.
When my father was stationed in Germany, he worked as a nurse in the medical facility. Every monday morning the young recruits would be lined up outside the office at 6 am. They were all hung-over from beer which was cheep and great tasting.
Each recruit would get a lung full of pure O2 and told to hold it in for as long as possible. This seemed to burn out the headache/nausea and they could then face food and report for duty.
WARNING: too much pure O2 will kill you. If you try this like at an oxygen bar or some such - take 2 hits at the most and try to breath normally between hits.
Water. Before drinking, while drinking, before you sleep. I usually order a glass of water for every shot or every other shot.
Eat CARBS before and during. Pasta, bread. Fat %26amp; protein are tough to digest and your body isn't doing its best with alcohol.
On occasion, I go to whisky tastings. Over 100 different whiskeys, scotches, bourbons, etc. over a few hours. Not full shots, but still quite a bit! The first time, I was a little hung over. Since then I haven't been the least bit sick the next morning.
may not help at moment but i find a few weeks off renews my body to face the hangovers again.
um, water, ibuprofen, green tea, Valium!
I also find the herbal remedy kava kava and valerian helpful
but if it is that bad, just have one quick drink and you'll be ok
Don't mix your drinks. In other words, if you start off drinking scotch, don't switch to drinking martinis and follow up with beer. You'll get very sick.
Also, eat before you start drinking and drink lots of water afterward.
bananas are great to treat hangovers. smoke a bowl of weed. that will kill the nasuea. saltine crackers, and drink lots of water. all this will help you feel less s*%26amp;%ty during your hangover.
well before drinking take an aspirin and after hangover try to drink lots of water and eat hot spiced foods and sweat it out of you
To treat - Drink another of what you had the night before. A beer, a shot, a something!!
SIPPING ON HOT SOUPS AND DRINKING PLENTY OF VITAMIN WATER OR GATORADE TO HELP WITH DEHYDRATION
Decent sized meal before drinking, stick to one drink, drink a pint of water before you go to bed, more water and sugar in the morning - hot sweet tea. Your brain needs food and drink the next day - sugar and water is the simplest, fastest way to feed it.

You get a hangover because you're dehydrated - drink a glass of water once and a while as you hit the booze. Of course, this may make it more difficult for you to win drinking contests, but sometimes ya gotta take the bitter with the sweet.
Try the link below for more tips.
Please, have a designated driver or call a cab to get home - don't drink and drive.
The water ideas are good.
For a hangover - one to two lungfulls of pure oxygen.
When my father was stationed in Germany, he worked as a nurse in the medical facility. Every monday morning the young recruits would be lined up outside the office at 6 am. They were all hung-over from beer which was cheep and great tasting.
Each recruit would get a lung full of pure O2 and told to hold it in for as long as possible. This seemed to burn out the headache/nausea and they could then face food and report for duty.
WARNING: too much pure O2 will kill you. If you try this like at an oxygen bar or some such - take 2 hits at the most and try to breath normally between hits.
Water. Before drinking, while drinking, before you sleep. I usually order a glass of water for every shot or every other shot.
Eat CARBS before and during. Pasta, bread. Fat %26amp; protein are tough to digest and your body isn't doing its best with alcohol.
On occasion, I go to whisky tastings. Over 100 different whiskeys, scotches, bourbons, etc. over a few hours. Not full shots, but still quite a bit! The first time, I was a little hung over. Since then I haven't been the least bit sick the next morning.
may not help at moment but i find a few weeks off renews my body to face the hangovers again.
um, water, ibuprofen, green tea, Valium!
I also find the herbal remedy kava kava and valerian helpful
but if it is that bad, just have one quick drink and you'll be ok
Don't mix your drinks. In other words, if you start off drinking scotch, don't switch to drinking martinis and follow up with beer. You'll get very sick.
Also, eat before you start drinking and drink lots of water afterward.
bananas are great to treat hangovers. smoke a bowl of weed. that will kill the nasuea. saltine crackers, and drink lots of water. all this will help you feel less s*%26amp;%ty during your hangover.
well before drinking take an aspirin and after hangover try to drink lots of water and eat hot spiced foods and sweat it out of you
To treat - Drink another of what you had the night before. A beer, a shot, a something!!
SIPPING ON HOT SOUPS AND DRINKING PLENTY OF VITAMIN WATER OR GATORADE TO HELP WITH DEHYDRATION
Should you take any advice you get from Yahoo?
I mean I would never take advice from someone I didn't know and some people on here are asking help on very important and very personal problems. Is that cause they already know what they need to do and want to hear it from someone else or is it cause they really are going to rely on some goof ball's advice? Is this a good place to get advice?
And whats with all the ';My bf is a big ********, Should I stay with him';? Some girls in here need a little self-respect.Should you take any advice you get from Yahoo?
If you would never take anyones advice here then why are you even asking? I've ask questions and gotten some very good answers. Should you take any advice you get from Yahoo?
That's a curious question.
Some girls here need to have some self respect.
Some guys here need to have some common sense.
Some people here clearly failed elementary english and grammar.
Some kids here didn't bother reading the Terms of Service when signing up.
With the internet swarming with psychopaths lurking behind every metatag and div container, you can't help but wonder if it really is okay to get advice here.
But like anywhere, advice is advice. Take it or leave it. If you are so immature that strangers on the internet sway you to do things, then you have no place on Yahoo Answers (after all, you need to be 13+ to register!). The appeal is that you have a wide range of people who come from various backgrounds, meaning they all have a unique perspective. One person can offer advice that opens up possibilities you never even dreamed about! You just need to be smart enough to know which answers suit your needs, and which are posted by silly trolls.
... You don't know me, but you certainly don't have to take anything I say to heart. Take everything with a grain of salt and move on. :)
Some of it I take, some of it I leave. Knowledge is power and it is a good forum to getting all different kinds of viewpoints. Sometimes some of it makes sense and clicks in your head. Sometimes you get validation to what you already know but need to hear. Sometimes you realize EVERYone has something different to say and there is no right or wrong. But it is interesting and entertaining none the less. =)
well....lol...advise and tips are given when asked ...for it seems , after all there are many people with common sense here at yahoo , that some people lack having around ..near by to ask face to face....and any way ..
not all advises are common sense, as I am sure you have seen...lol
but ..at least may be one ..out of the X #..will or might give you an insight ..or show you how to handle that situation...things that you had not even considered in your thinking / mind ...lol...and ...in response to your original question ..is...when you take answers from yahoo answers ...
think of yourself walking into a flea market...and looking at stuff...lol
and ..well..you only pick...what you like...what you need..lol...see ?...lol
did I make sense ?...lol
I would hope that most people take into account that they don't know the people giving the answers.
With that being said, it is my experience that the majority of people who answer are giving fair, honest advice.
It gives people the opportunity to ask questions that they may be embarrassed to ask a friend or parent.
Most people asking questions just want someone to validate the answer they are looking for, and there is always going to be someone to do that for them, even if that person is being a cynical jerk.
Basically, you should take all the advice you get from yahoo,
The yahoo answer is like a community where everybody proffers solutions(stupid or enlightening) to peoples question. Like all advices, it is left at your own discretion to decide which to take and which to ignore. I think it has really helped a lot of people.
Well Yahoo is here to answer questions and try to help people with as much as we know and if they wanna take the advice then they will, if you don't wanna do that then why are you on here?

What's some info/advice you can give me about being in a relationship with someone who has bi-polar?
I'm asking because there's this guy in my life and I don't know where things are going to lead with him. Nothing might come out of it but then again we might start dating. He has bi-polar. He's 100% non-violent and from what I've noticed when I'm around him he doesn't seem to really get depressed but he sometimes talks fast and seems to have too much energy. Is his being bi-polar an automatic deal breaker as far as having a potentially healthy relationship? Thanks!What's some info/advice you can give me about being in a relationship with someone who has bi-polar?
I have bipolar I disorder and I am in a healthy marriage for 2 years going on 3. As long as he's on medication and going to his doctor or therapy appointments every month you should have no problem with him. Find out what type I or II. You can have a healthy relationship with him if you decide to date him. Give it time though, you may see more about his bipolar disorder as time progresses. Once you see him going through spacing out or hallucinations then you may change your mind, but if you love him, you'll understand. It's best right now for you to be educated on the disorder.
You can also read my testimony on bipolar I on myspace.
Go to http://www.myspace.com/thehealinghug.
If it helps start going to support classes with him.
Good Luck and God Bless You and your family.What's some info/advice you can give me about being in a relationship with someone who has bi-polar?
I read your questions and some answers and see once again, myth blinding reality...
People who have bipolar disorder don't change on a dime, the mood change takes place over a period of time, however, the manic phase and depressed phase can impede on his and your life..is he diagnosed? Does he take medication? It sounds like he is in a manic phase, the only way to see how it goes is to see how it goes, he could manage his symptoms well, or not, only he would know..but no to me it isn't adeal breaker nor, the women I have dated...
If he is able to tolerate his meds ';daily'; and doesn't say he feels like a ';zombie'; on them, you have a chance. But note this, these people are mercurial and can turn on a dime, and become a menace (harsh word - I know) and bham! - Keep it as a friendship, but don't go any further.
He ';IS'; Bipolar not ';has';.
I talk fast so does that make me bipolar?
No.
Asking us weither its a deal breaker won't help you.
Ask yourself that question.

If you could time travel to any point the past what would advice would you give your younger self?
What do you know now that you wish you had known back then?If you could time travel to any point the past what would advice would you give your younger self?
It's ok to try pot but don't become a pot head and drop out of college. Yes, you are smart enough to go to med school or vet school. Yes, you have to study hard and work hard to get somewhere in life.If you could time travel to any point the past what would advice would you give your younger self?
I would go back to college and give myself the following advice:
1. Sleep with her fool! Your girlfriend is going to cheat on you her first night of college next year, so do it!
2. Invest, invest, invest!
3. Put money on the Buffalo/Houston Oilers playoff game. Lots of money on Buffalo!
4. Go to the gym five days a week, and not just three!
5. Get your friggin' masters degree before you have kids.
6. The hot chick from Barbados...write her number down and don't try to memorize it when you are drunk!
I would just say finish what you started. Don't give up. It may seem tough now but the rewards will be worth it in the long run.
The advice I give myself now is don't dwell on the past.
go back to when i first started high school and had a very bad year,
just would tell myself to look toward the future and doing good in school will definitly pay off in the end
given myself past answers for the lottery.
I would have gone back last week where my mum got ONE number wrong on the lottery, and told her to change it to the right one.
:)
I would tell myself not to get married to the man I did. .
I would tell my self to quit partying and go to college.

Do you have any advice for a novice beater?
I've been invited go beating for the first time this weekend. However, I know next to nothing about it.
Do you have any advice for me?
What am I likely to need?
Anything specific I should be aware of?
Any information welcome.
Thanks.Do you have any advice for a novice beater?
Nothing to it you will be told what to do. My 10 year old grandson goes beating He started 3 weeks ago on Saturdays and for the first 2 weeks he got æ‹¢10 a day then on the 3rd Saturday he got æ‹¢20 because he had done well and was learning and was told he would soon get æ‹¢30 a day. Warm waterproof clothes and make sure your trousers are water proof because you will be walking through long grass and possibly heather. Good wellington boots, thick socks or waterproof comfy boots and gaiters. Ask if you need to bring your own lunch or if it is supplied.
Have fun.Do you have any advice for a novice beater?
I've only gone beating for bunnies, but I suspect it's similar.
Wear protective clothing, waterproof shoes. Some of the cover can get pretty thick.
STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF THE HUNTING DOG, the hunter and the judge.
With the bunnies, we make a lot of noise to get the bunnies to move, but once the bunny is flushed you want to be quiet so as not to distract the dog, especially if it's a novice dog.
Basically, the judge will brief you on what he/she expects.
Hi, I have been beating several times, you will need warm clothing and a pair of wellies and a strong stick for beating the long grass and bush and shrubs, when you beat you are in a straight line and you walk whilst beating, the birds are scared and fly up and the top knobs shoot them with 12bore shotgun, that is it. ok. good look.
ps. some of the gun pellets may drop on you head but don't worry about it, it dosen't hurt you.
WEAR bright cloths so the shooters can see you clearly. You do not want to be the game of the day, a BLAZE ORANGE VEST and hat would be ideal and what are you beating for? Deer, bear, wolf, cat? In any case make sure the humans can see you a part from the game. do not wear white or tan either.

I've starred because I cannot wait to go beating, just need to complete out training.
All I can tell you is, it's great fun.
Wear thick clothes and sturdy wellies!
Bring a shotgun and a birddog and tell the aristocrats to GTFO
Sorry???
What is ';beating';?
EDIT: okay, maybe bird hunting?

I am 13 & want to become a lawyer. Is there any advice that you can give me that will help me in the future?
I know that to become a good lawyer you need to be able to have the ability to communicate well. I can communicate with people, but I wouldn't necessarily say that I am too good at it. Is there a way I can get better at this?
Also, my dream is to go to Stanford. I know it's kind of too much to hope for, but I have straight A's in school and I think I might have a chance.
I would really appreciate any advice that anyone could offer to me; I know I am a little too young but I think it is good to get a head start on things.I am 13 %26amp; want to become a lawyer. Is there any advice that you can give me that will help me in the future?
Nice that you're starting young. And you're right, communication skills are important.
Good grades are just a basic starting point. A lot of schools want to know that you're ';human.'; What do you do for recreation and volunteer work? Do you demonstrate an interest in the law with any activities?
Also, don't pick subjects based on what you think law schools are looking for (i.e. don't major in Pre-Law in college). Law schools will notice when you're just trying to do what you think will please them a lot of them won't appreciate that very much. They do want to see an active, clear, and original thinker. I recommend majoring in Philosophy.I am 13 %26amp; want to become a lawyer. Is there any advice that you can give me that will help me in the future?
You are 13 years old. I was still playing with dolls and dreaming of all sorts of careers. In my opinion you are reseaching way too soon, (have FUN...Play, Socialize with excellent kids, , This is your one and only life on Earth! work hard at things you truly enjoy!!!) but it is great that you are so curious and want to learn, just MAKE SURE YOU ARE DOING SO FOR YOURSELF AND NOT TO SATISFY ANYONE ELSE. I wanted to be a teacher at your age, then a vet at 15, then a teacher again at 17. I taught school for 25 years. Keep researching all your options for fun, GO FOR WHAT YOU ARE TRULY INTERESTED IN for your career. You will work for a huge part of your life and you are (trust me!!) going to want to LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!! Don't be a lawyer and go to STtanford just because it sounds good.
Good luck and best wishes....Have FUN!!
Study hard in school, you need to be able you can learn and learn quickly. Do some public speaking whenever you can, speak in front of peers, teachers, parents, etc. Get involved in the community, join a club or two. You want to be well rounded so get into a sport or two, academic club, and some community organization. This way you will understand different people and have lots of experiences. Perfect practice makes perfect so practice what you are weak at and get some feedback.
Talk to your parents, guidance councelor and teachers about your goals so they can help... visit the bar and lawyer websites... talk to folks... shadow a lawyer if allowed.
Best of luck.
Yeah they shouldnt be allowed to drop out because if they are feelin ';tired'; one day they can ';skip school'; then after they get too far behind.... they will drop out....and NO DREAM BIG!!!!!!!!!!
I heard this saying that goes....SHOOT FOR THE MOON.....if you dont get there you will land on one of the stars...... CLOSER THEN YOU WERE..... so yeah keep your goals.....
debate club
toastmasters (for public speaking)
paralegal certificate maybe to get some basic knowledge of law.
All the evidence is in his left shoe.
My advice- if you don't get into Stanford, your life isn't over. College is college, just get into one with a law program if the Ivy Leagues won't accept you.
Second- my boyfriend just told me about his friend who is a lawyer. His friend defended a child pronographer and got the scum bag off the charges. If you're going into law, you will be faced with not only getting the righteous what they deserve, but you might also have to defend criminals.
Here is something you may want to plan for now. With top notch schools like Stanford, it is very competitive to be accepted at the school. Straight A grades isn't enough to cut it anymore. The schools want to see a well rounded education and life outside of school. Not only will they want top grades, they will want to see what you do with yourself outside of the classroom with extra curricular activities. Participate in school sports, participate in school clubs, and especially important, participate in charitable causes. This was told to me by a friend, who both her and her husband are Stanford alumni, and her father was a professor at Stanford. Even with their ';legacy';, being alumni, their daughters are not guaranteed acceptance into the school without considering their grades and their extra curricular activities.
Pay attention in your English classes so that you learn how to write effectively. The ability to communicate via the written word is as important to an attorney as their speaking abilities. Certainly Stanford Law School is an excellent choice but there are many other choices that are available to you as well. Don't discount those before you start. And, most importantly...you have to get your undergraduate degree first! So you must maintain your focus and direction for the next 8 years. But remember, you can't ignore your social responsibilities either...many undergraduate schools want to see something more than just good grades.
Good for you! With this kind of ambition, I am sure you can be anything you want and go to a great school in order to get there. And you do NOT have to be outspoken to be a good lawyer. There are all types of lawyers--you don't have to be a trial lawyer, prosecutor, or criminal defender who rants and raves in court.
Here's the best advice for you, since you're so young: READ!! If you don't like to read, you may be in trouble because law school is all about reading and writing (and so is being a lawyer). Reading a lot helps you be a good writer because it expands your vocabulary and exposes you to great writers. You will need to ace the LSAT to get into Stanford, and it is based largely on reading/writing skills. You might even start taking practice LSAT exams now; they will be like second nature to you in 10 years when your future depends on it.
Secondly, just go to Stanford's website and read their admissions criteria. Then spend the next 5-10 years making sure you become their ideal candidate. You'll have to stand out--study abroad, learn another language, spend your summers doing internships that are related, volunteer, and be active in your community.
Good luck!!
Good for you for thinking of this now.
The only advice I'm qualified to give you is this:
ALWAYS be nice to your secretary and to all the other support staff members in whatever law firm you end up joining.
Don't lose touch with your feminine side. There are many female attorneys who seem to think they have to dress like men and act like men in order to get ahead. Not true, so don't do it! (That's probably a thing of the past anyway).
Don't sign up for Arrogance 101. This is a class many attys have attended, and it shows. Take a pass on that one!
As for your communication skills, it may depend somewhat on what area of law you decide to go into. You're probably thinking of litigation - I don't know that you need to be especially glib if you decide to work in intellectual property!
First and foremost you have to be a good student willing to sacrifice your free time for study. That's a tall order for most teenagers.
join debate, speech. but keep an open mind. something else might come along that interests u more. u might change ur mind numerous times before u settle on something.
I do agree with you that it's probably a bit too early to make a definite decision about the direction of your career. However, it also makes sense to develop broader skills that you might need for that and many other professions. My best friend is a lawyer, and from my observations you will do well if you:
a) work to improve your memory. In law school and after, you'll need to memorise innumerable statutes and cases. Buy memory tapes, read more etc
b) definitely work on your writing skills. On your bar exam, you'll need to write an essay, and it won't be easy.
you can do what they said, and also try having an internship at a law firm when you are older
Learn to lie very convincingly.And,Christina, Stanford is not an Ivy League school last time I checked.
13 is NOT too young. It's a good age to know what you want in life. Continue to pursue your dream and make sure that it is what you want, what you enjoy, and not what you're told you want. Make sense? There is a lot of reading involved in the law profession so develop a love of knowledge gained through reading. Join, or start, a debate team in your middle school and learn to argue persuasively. Brush up on your vocabulary skills and practice your inductive and deductive thinking by playing logic games which make up a large part of the LSAT. Make sure that, starting now, you become a well-rounded individual through high school and college so you can be that same well-rounded individual as a professional.
get good grades.
We'll boil this down into a simple checklist:
(1) Do as well as you can in school and get good grades.
(2) Stay out of trouble with the law.
(3) Be involved in your school and your local community -- that'll help you get into a good college like Stanford.
(4) Take as many writing courses as you can to improve your written communication skills.
(5) When you get into college, join your local Toastmasters organization to learn effective public speaking from people who have lots of experience.
(6) For your first four years in college, major in something that will help you do a job other than being a lawyer, just in case you find being a lawyer isn't for you -- I recommend management.
(7) Spend the money on one of those two-day seminars on how to prepare for the LSAT -- a lawyer I know tanked the first time he took it but did much better the second time around.
(8) Try to get work as a clerk at a law firm during your summer breaks -- that'll give you a REALLY good look at what working as a lawyer is like.
Pursue your dream, and best of luck!
First of all, to become a lawyer, it is common to get a 4 year undergraduate degree from an accredited university (or at least be working on your degree) before you apply to law school. Some common majors are political science, psychology, and criminal justice. It is in those four years of college that you will probably decide whether or not you want to pursue law. But don't be surprised if your career choices change a few times. In junior high, I wanted to be a radiologist. In high school, I wanted to be a therapist. And now, I want to be a teacher. Some people decide early what they want to do, and do it. Typically, however, people change their mind several times. Remember though, it's never too early to think about the future, and it's good that you are! It is true that for this field of study, you need very good communication skills, and depending on what type of law you plan on pursuing, very good public speaking skills. Most people, at some time or another, have a fear of public speaking. You are not alone! I still get queasy thinking about it. But it does get better in time, and the more you are exposed to it, the better it will get. Take any and all classes that allow you to practice speaking. Debate is a good class to take. Also participate in class discussions as much as possible to get used to it. Becoming an effective communicator takes time and practice, just like anything else. Once you get into college, get some experience in the field. Go volunteer or shadow at an office or firm. This is important, because depending on your major, your classes may not give you much insight into what the field of law is all about. Internships are also good. And lastly, one very important thing...if you have a dream, pursue it! Never think that it is unattainable. You will never know until you try. Stanford is very competitive, but work hard, and know that it is possible. Don't let go of your dreams. Best wishes and good luck to you!
You are never too young, make sure you take all your classes seriously. And this path requires sacrifice, its a lot of schooling for a big dream. Be proud and go for it
Also, my dream is to go to Stanford. I know it's kind of too much to hope for, but I have straight A's in school and I think I might have a chance.
I would really appreciate any advice that anyone could offer to me; I know I am a little too young but I think it is good to get a head start on things.I am 13 %26amp; want to become a lawyer. Is there any advice that you can give me that will help me in the future?
Nice that you're starting young. And you're right, communication skills are important.
Good grades are just a basic starting point. A lot of schools want to know that you're ';human.'; What do you do for recreation and volunteer work? Do you demonstrate an interest in the law with any activities?
Also, don't pick subjects based on what you think law schools are looking for (i.e. don't major in Pre-Law in college). Law schools will notice when you're just trying to do what you think will please them a lot of them won't appreciate that very much. They do want to see an active, clear, and original thinker. I recommend majoring in Philosophy.I am 13 %26amp; want to become a lawyer. Is there any advice that you can give me that will help me in the future?
You are 13 years old. I was still playing with dolls and dreaming of all sorts of careers. In my opinion you are reseaching way too soon, (have FUN...Play, Socialize with excellent kids, , This is your one and only life on Earth! work hard at things you truly enjoy!!!) but it is great that you are so curious and want to learn, just MAKE SURE YOU ARE DOING SO FOR YOURSELF AND NOT TO SATISFY ANYONE ELSE. I wanted to be a teacher at your age, then a vet at 15, then a teacher again at 17. I taught school for 25 years. Keep researching all your options for fun, GO FOR WHAT YOU ARE TRULY INTERESTED IN for your career. You will work for a huge part of your life and you are (trust me!!) going to want to LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!! Don't be a lawyer and go to STtanford just because it sounds good.
Good luck and best wishes....Have FUN!!
Study hard in school, you need to be able you can learn and learn quickly. Do some public speaking whenever you can, speak in front of peers, teachers, parents, etc. Get involved in the community, join a club or two. You want to be well rounded so get into a sport or two, academic club, and some community organization. This way you will understand different people and have lots of experiences. Perfect practice makes perfect so practice what you are weak at and get some feedback.
Talk to your parents, guidance councelor and teachers about your goals so they can help... visit the bar and lawyer websites... talk to folks... shadow a lawyer if allowed.
Best of luck.
Yeah they shouldnt be allowed to drop out because if they are feelin ';tired'; one day they can ';skip school'; then after they get too far behind.... they will drop out....and NO DREAM BIG!!!!!!!!!!
I heard this saying that goes....SHOOT FOR THE MOON.....if you dont get there you will land on one of the stars...... CLOSER THEN YOU WERE..... so yeah keep your goals.....
debate club
toastmasters (for public speaking)
paralegal certificate maybe to get some basic knowledge of law.
All the evidence is in his left shoe.
My advice- if you don't get into Stanford, your life isn't over. College is college, just get into one with a law program if the Ivy Leagues won't accept you.
Second- my boyfriend just told me about his friend who is a lawyer. His friend defended a child pronographer and got the scum bag off the charges. If you're going into law, you will be faced with not only getting the righteous what they deserve, but you might also have to defend criminals.
Here is something you may want to plan for now. With top notch schools like Stanford, it is very competitive to be accepted at the school. Straight A grades isn't enough to cut it anymore. The schools want to see a well rounded education and life outside of school. Not only will they want top grades, they will want to see what you do with yourself outside of the classroom with extra curricular activities. Participate in school sports, participate in school clubs, and especially important, participate in charitable causes. This was told to me by a friend, who both her and her husband are Stanford alumni, and her father was a professor at Stanford. Even with their ';legacy';, being alumni, their daughters are not guaranteed acceptance into the school without considering their grades and their extra curricular activities.
Pay attention in your English classes so that you learn how to write effectively. The ability to communicate via the written word is as important to an attorney as their speaking abilities. Certainly Stanford Law School is an excellent choice but there are many other choices that are available to you as well. Don't discount those before you start. And, most importantly...you have to get your undergraduate degree first! So you must maintain your focus and direction for the next 8 years. But remember, you can't ignore your social responsibilities either...many undergraduate schools want to see something more than just good grades.
Good for you! With this kind of ambition, I am sure you can be anything you want and go to a great school in order to get there. And you do NOT have to be outspoken to be a good lawyer. There are all types of lawyers--you don't have to be a trial lawyer, prosecutor, or criminal defender who rants and raves in court.
Here's the best advice for you, since you're so young: READ!! If you don't like to read, you may be in trouble because law school is all about reading and writing (and so is being a lawyer). Reading a lot helps you be a good writer because it expands your vocabulary and exposes you to great writers. You will need to ace the LSAT to get into Stanford, and it is based largely on reading/writing skills. You might even start taking practice LSAT exams now; they will be like second nature to you in 10 years when your future depends on it.
Secondly, just go to Stanford's website and read their admissions criteria. Then spend the next 5-10 years making sure you become their ideal candidate. You'll have to stand out--study abroad, learn another language, spend your summers doing internships that are related, volunteer, and be active in your community.
Good luck!!
Good for you for thinking of this now.
The only advice I'm qualified to give you is this:
ALWAYS be nice to your secretary and to all the other support staff members in whatever law firm you end up joining.
Don't lose touch with your feminine side. There are many female attorneys who seem to think they have to dress like men and act like men in order to get ahead. Not true, so don't do it! (That's probably a thing of the past anyway).
Don't sign up for Arrogance 101. This is a class many attys have attended, and it shows. Take a pass on that one!
As for your communication skills, it may depend somewhat on what area of law you decide to go into. You're probably thinking of litigation - I don't know that you need to be especially glib if you decide to work in intellectual property!
First and foremost you have to be a good student willing to sacrifice your free time for study. That's a tall order for most teenagers.
join debate, speech. but keep an open mind. something else might come along that interests u more. u might change ur mind numerous times before u settle on something.
I do agree with you that it's probably a bit too early to make a definite decision about the direction of your career. However, it also makes sense to develop broader skills that you might need for that and many other professions. My best friend is a lawyer, and from my observations you will do well if you:
a) work to improve your memory. In law school and after, you'll need to memorise innumerable statutes and cases. Buy memory tapes, read more etc
b) definitely work on your writing skills. On your bar exam, you'll need to write an essay, and it won't be easy.
you can do what they said, and also try having an internship at a law firm when you are older
Learn to lie very convincingly.And,Christina, Stanford is not an Ivy League school last time I checked.
13 is NOT too young. It's a good age to know what you want in life. Continue to pursue your dream and make sure that it is what you want, what you enjoy, and not what you're told you want. Make sense? There is a lot of reading involved in the law profession so develop a love of knowledge gained through reading. Join, or start, a debate team in your middle school and learn to argue persuasively. Brush up on your vocabulary skills and practice your inductive and deductive thinking by playing logic games which make up a large part of the LSAT. Make sure that, starting now, you become a well-rounded individual through high school and college so you can be that same well-rounded individual as a professional.
get good grades.
We'll boil this down into a simple checklist:
(1) Do as well as you can in school and get good grades.
(2) Stay out of trouble with the law.
(3) Be involved in your school and your local community -- that'll help you get into a good college like Stanford.
(4) Take as many writing courses as you can to improve your written communication skills.
(5) When you get into college, join your local Toastmasters organization to learn effective public speaking from people who have lots of experience.
(6) For your first four years in college, major in something that will help you do a job other than being a lawyer, just in case you find being a lawyer isn't for you -- I recommend management.
(7) Spend the money on one of those two-day seminars on how to prepare for the LSAT -- a lawyer I know tanked the first time he took it but did much better the second time around.

Should you give practical advice to a younger co-worker who keeps screwing up their life?
Should I dispense wisdom and practicality to a much younger co-worker, who keeps making the same mistakes I made as a kid? Or should I butt out and let them live their own life, hoping they will learn from their painful mistakes? I want to say something, yet I don't want to preach. What is the proper way to go about this? Thanks in advance.Should you give practical advice to a younger co-worker who keeps screwing up their life?
Since this is a co-worker, I say no. Your co-worker could resent it and it would become an uncomfortable work environment.
However, if you consider this person a friend, then you might be able to broach the subject depending on the circumstances. Tread lightly when dispensing advice and back off at the first indication that the advice is not well-received.Should you give practical advice to a younger co-worker who keeps screwing up their life?
i would maybe say '' look, your heading for a fall if you continue down this path, maybe try to straighten out and see a therapist ok ? '' - then i would straighten my tie and pat their back and wish them a '' nice day ''.
if they ignored this and continued anyway at least i tried my best.
Honestly, don't give unsolicited advice. Most see it as very annoying.
However, if the co-worker asks, you can offer words of wisdom, as long as it is done in a non-judgmental manner.
yes, older people should help guide the young
I have been there several times and done both. It depends on the maturity level. Some people just have to learn on their own, and some take the advise to heart. I would just give examples if you really want to say something, I.E. the same thing happened when I was around your age...etc...
b-u-t-t is a censorship worthy word?
On to the subject...if you're not being asked for advice, don't offer it. And think of it this way: would you know what you know now if you hadn't done what you did back then?
No, not unless they ask for it.
Never give advice unless specifically asked to do so...
give he/she the advice, a pray that it will sink in. If it doesn't then let be, they have to grow up sometimes.

What is the best advice you can give me?
I dated two guys. I am a beautiful virgin woman who is rich.However during my poverty years I met a man who has 11 kids. We both have a mental connection and have each other hearts. Recently I met a rich man with good looks and fame. Which one do I choose?What is the best advice you can give me?
Definitely the man with who you have a mental connection. You said so yourself he has your heart and you his. As for the rich man you only said he was good looking and rich and nothing else. ;)

Can you think of advice that proved especially helpful to you? What was it, and why was it beneficial?
After Moses led Israel out of Egypt, his father-in-law Jethro brought Moses wife and children to join the rest of the Israelites. He stayed for a visit and observed Moses at work. quickly he saw that the sheer volume of the work was overwhelming Moses. Jethro suggested that Moses appoint sub-officials to settle disputes, reserving only the most difficult cases for himself. Moses recognized the good advice, and acted on it.Can you think of advice that proved especially helpful to you? What was it, and why was it beneficial?
Well, there were so many. I remember one specific advice that was actually very beneficial to the Church because of the change that this advice did to me personally. I had backslid from the Lord for over 20 years when I decided that I couldn't live my life without Him anymore. I was very bold and on fire for the Lord and He raised me up in the Church very quickly. There was one problem though and that problem was that I'd caught the eyes of more than one brother. I couldn't figure it out until I'd asked my pastor why I was having this problem. He said, very embarrassingly and humbly, ';have you ever considered maybe dressing differently?'; We were talking on the phone and I got very quiet. Finally I said, ';Oh, my gosh I can't believe you said that. Thank you so much.'; I was somewhat embarrassed but I also knew that he was right and when I look back at that I realize that that was a part of me that had to change if I really loved the Lord and the Church. Later my daughters told me that they love the way I dress now over the way I used to. Praise the Lord and God Bless. Mizpah!Can you think of advice that proved especially helpful to you?

Seize the day. Live each day as though it were your last.

For those who went to law school, do you have any advice for a prospective student?
I am thinking of applying to law school. I currently work in a law firm and like it most of the time. What advice would you give to someone considering law school? (in terms of being admitted, getting through it, liking your job, if you would do it again?) Any advice is welcome. I am a little unsure if I am ready for this type of commitment.For those who went to law school, do you have any advice for a prospective student?
First of all, it's good that you actually work in a law firm right now for two reasons: 1) you've been exposed to at least some of the stuff you'll be exposed to in law school and 2) you've had an opportunity to work in the real world, which can be an invaluable experience in law school. Following are my responses to your specific questions:
Admission: Figure out what you want to do after law school and what type of school you can get into. You don't need to waste your time trying to get into Harvard if you don't have the grades or test scores to get in, or if you don't want to jump right into some high-powered job. The best advice I ever got about law school was this: If you want to go into public sector law, go to a cheaper school or get a really good scholarship. If you have your heart set on one of the top schools, you better have a perfect LSAT score or be ready to whore yourself out at a big firm for a few years so you can pay off your debts.
As far as actually being admitted goes, you need to do pretty well on the LSAT because that pretty much determines where you're going to go. I didn't do any of the Kaplan classes, but bought a bunch of the books with sample tests and did those for a month beforehand. You can score them and get a decent idea of how you'll do on the actual LSAT. My actual score was about the same as my score on the last sample test I took.
You'll have to write some sort of personal statement/essay. The caveat is that each school will have different requirements: some want two pages, some four pages, others use a word count. You may have to re-write the essay for each school. If you know someone who is a good editor, have them look it over for grammatical errors.
Start early. While it's not too late to start applying for next year, it's getting close (assuming you've taken the LSAT). Figure out which schools you really want to get into and do early applications for those schools. For any school, get your application in as soon as possible. A lot of them use rolling admissions (I know the University of Wisconsin does), so the later you apply the more difficult it is to get in.
Getting through it: My god, where to start? I had been out of school for a while before I started law school, but my job was the kind where I always took work home with me and I read all of the time. That made the transition a bit easier. The biggest struggle is getting everything done and not burning out. Usually, I hit a rough patch (utter exhaustion; my eyes start to twitch/flutter; I get so tired that I literally cannot sleep; I come down with some sort of cold) at the end of finals. This year (my third), I hit the rough patch about a month into classes. Not cool. Fortunately, I was able to carve out a day or two to get me out of my zombie state. So, my advice would be to study all of the time, but give yourself some time to screw around on the internet or watch E! or some other mindless activity. The balance should be heavily in favor of the former. Many of my classmates do the latter DURING CLASS, which I just cannot get my mind around. I'm not paying $35,000 per year to read People magazine during class.
Liking my job: I'm not out of school yet, but I did an internship my first summer and then worked for two professors this past summer. I loved both jobs. I wouldn't be in law school unless I really wanted to do it for a living. If you're thinking about doing it because there's nothing better to do or it ';seems'; like a way to get a better job, don't do it.
Would I do it again: Yes, although I'd probably do some things differently.oreal

Can a neurologist give you advice on what to do with night terrors?
I see a neurologist for other reasons.Can a neurologist give you advice on what to do with night terrors?
The best person to talk to would be your family doctor and then he can refer you to the proper place to go. You can mention it to your neurologist but I wouldn't make an appointment about it.Can a neurologist give you advice on what to do with night terrors?
Yes. But first you may want to consult Dr. Richard Ferber's book, Solve your child's sleep problems. He gives an excellent discussion tailored to the lay person.
Maybe you should consider seeing a psychologist.
The thing is ,, do you want to pay a neuro for what a GP can do a lot cheaper? Now its my experience that night terror is caused by medication, might not be your case, but it sure was mine. Check out you med regime and look up your pills and check for side effects. Good Luck.
A psychologist or psychiatrist would make more sense. Even your regular doctor. Night terrors aren't really neurologists ';thang.'; Get it figured out though. You might need a light anti-anxiety medication. Good luck, hon. :)

Can you give me some advice on how to sell things on eBay?
I don't mean basic stuff like how to sell an item, but I mean how to get people interested more and how to succeed in getting people to bid on your stuff.
Any examples would help. Thanks in advance.Can you give me some advice on how to sell things on eBay?
O.K suppose you know a lot of people? you know what they need %26amp; want to buy, sell those items and inform them that your auction on ebay provide the items that they are looking for.
One word of warning though, in my experience your ';friends'; can help you out but don't depend on them alone or else you will fail.
All the information about how to sell your items, you will find on ebay.Can you give me some advice on how to sell things on eBay?
Use many exclamation marks. This usually gets people excited!!! Make sure that you spell everything correct, otherwise it might be annoying. And language is key. If I say ';Hardly used'; it wouldn't be as apealing as ';rarely touched'; which, although uses the same meaning, it sounds nicer.

All the information about how to sell your items, you will find on ebay.Can you give me some advice on how to sell things on eBay?
Use many exclamation marks. This usually gets people excited!!! Make sure that you spell everything correct, otherwise it might be annoying. And language is key. If I say ';Hardly used'; it wouldn't be as apealing as ';rarely touched'; which, although uses the same meaning, it sounds nicer.
If you have any acting advice for an inspiring actress please help me i have no clue how to start my career!?

Acting School would be a great place to start. Not only you are learning and training your tools to be a better Actress, you will also meet other Actors who are like-minded, and have an interest in the Acting career.
Have you check out JaxStars? (http://jaxstars.com) They offer stage training program for Children and Youth Talents. Which is great for beginners.
Otherwise, there's the ';Acting School'; (http://theactingschool.org) of South Florida, where they provided technique training and conservatory program that allows you to learn everything about Acting.
At the end of the acting program, there's usually a theatrical production with invided audience, to see your performance.
The School Bullertin Board often post local casting calls as well.
Places that I would advice you to avoid: John Casablancas and John Robert Powers School.
When you have the training and ready to jump into the world of Acting, then these are some books that you might find helpful:
';Breaking Into Acting for Dummies'; by Larry Garrison - Don't let the name of this book threw you off. This book covers everything from headshots, agents/managers, casting directors, postcards, compcards, technical terms, workshops... and everything you need to know about Acting Career.
';How To Be A Working Actor'; by Mari Henry and Lynne Rogers - is also a great book, but it might be too early for your age.
Last, but not least, visit http://www.florida-actors.com - it's a free online community and resource for Actors in Florida. The website include Job Notice, Actor's Page, Book List, etc.
Good Luck!!If you have any acting advice for an inspiring actress please help me i have no clue how to start my career!?
Sometimes you have to start out doing small parts. Enter every talent show, play that you possibly can. I'm sure if you take acting lessons, there will be parts that will become available for audition. It won't be easy, but you have to literally ';live, breathe, acting'; and if you can sing do that also, it could finally help you get a foot in the door. Let your parents know that you are very serious about this. Maybe they will be willing to relocate to support your ambition ( who knows) but stay persistant in your pursuit! One day I might see you on the big screen, I wish you luck!
First things first - Practice! If you want to be an actress, you gotta' start somewhere! Try out for plays and musicals at school or in the community! (And dont give up if you dont get a part at first.)
You also might want to try taking some acting classes or workshops.
See if there are any filmings going on in Florida near you where you could be an extra, and go to any open calls from talent agencies. You dont have to live in LA or New York to become an actress!
if you are serious about acting then you should probably get an agency. just look for reputable talent agencies in your area and submit your info, which includes a headshot, full body shot and your resume if you have one. but the best thing to do if you have no experience in acting is taking some acting classes, then try to get an agency. an agency is most likely going to call you back if you have experience. so take acting classes and then get an agency. your agencies job will be to get you auditions so you could get parts in movies or commercials..
I'm 17 and also an aspiring actress and I have to tell you that if you want to really get into the industry take it seriously and make a plan ! take acting lessons , voice lessons , take head shots , do some stage - community theater to gain experience , and make a resume . This is what most of my plan looks like and i can say that its going to take some time and a lot of hard work but if you want to really do this you will ! Good luck
P.S.
Wish me luck ! almost forgot get an agent !

What's the best life advice you got and from whom?
As for me it was a couple years ago, my finance prof told that - even your friends and relatives can fail you, sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone to get something done.What's the best life advice you got and from whom?
This isn't exactly politically correct, but it IS funny and probably 100% true. I used to go to church with an elderly gentleman of about 80-something, and one day we somehow got around to the subject of romance, dating, and marriage. His advice on the subject was this:
';Son, I know what it is to be young, and I know what a young man likes, but let me tell you this: don't go and get married to some girl that knows how to put her makeup in all the right places, or knows all the new dances, like the Jitterbug*. Get you a woman who isn't necessarily the prettiest one around, but who knows how to cook, and clean, and is grateful to have you.';
Like I said, not exactly kosher in this day and age, but you know what? The man has something there. Not coincidentally, his wife (the second one) was homely but intelligent, charming, and very industrious. They were happily married for nearly 60 years before he passed away, so that marital formula worked quite well for them.What's the best life advice you got and from whom?
I have this quote written on my mirror with some lipliner:
“I've found out what happiness is not, it's not stuff. It's not comparing yourself to others because there will always be those of whom are greater, or lesser than yourself. What it is are relationships and making peace with yourself, and everyone involved within your life. It's gratitude for all you have and all that you've accomplished.”
=)
The best advice I ever got, not the most practical or useful, but the most dead-to-rights accurate and truthful advice, was given to me by an old geezer unknown to me at the time, a respected friend of my father's, sickly in a wheelchair, at my 17th birthday party, as my family were celebrating my acceptance into university.
He said (I'm paraphrasing): No matter who it is, no matter how you feel at the time, or where you are, or how late it is, how hungry, tired, bored, thirsty or disgusted you are...NEVER SAY NO to sex, never turn down a girl who offers herself to you. You will regret it for the rest of your life, especially to your dying moments. None of your conquests will stay in your mind and heart as much as the sour memories of the ones you willingly let go. I thought he was a drunk old perv, and he probably was. But you know what? He was dead right.
Many years ago, I worked for a country club as assistant manager. One day, when the actual manager was away, a series of crises developed and I handled them as best I could. When my manager returned, he was proud of what I had done and said, ';I'll always back you up as long as you make a decision.'; That helped me a lot in years to come.
The success of love is in the loving — it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
my human alienation philosophy professor taught me about how crucial it is to live in each moment. to experience each moment fully as opposed to executing in a manner that has proven itself to work in the past. that is, don't be a computer running a program.
''Whether you're pleasing or pissing everybody off, you're doing something wrong.'; I heard it from David Cook on some interview awhile back, and it just stuck. It gives you a bit of perspective if your trying to please everyone.
well the best life advice ever is in the Bible.
BUT
one of my friends said the other day that ';normal is nothing but a setting on a washing machine';. n i liked that :D
an ex of mine, told me that I should not worry about what others think of me %26amp; always be myself ( as long as I'm not hurting anyone in the process of course %26amp; I wouldn't do that anyway)
';Whatever you confess you possess'; My husband told me this when I was doubting myself. It's kinda like the law of attraction.
'; stop expecting from people to do wat u want but do not let others expect them to do wat they want u to be'; i got this advice from my experience, by me
My mother always said, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
A teacher once told me if opportunity doesn't knock build a door.
Ah Life, by the time you realize it's a gift, it's gone......
';life isn't fair'; sixth grade teacher
...if she ask...lie, lie and lie...good luck...

Do you have any effective advice as to how I can get my professors to know me better personally?
I've tried going to office hours and asking for help after class, but the problem is that although they can recognize me by face, the professors still don't know me personally, my name, or the kind of student i am, all of which would help enormously during recommendations and personal references.Do you have any effective advice as to how I can get my professors to know me better personally?
Sleep with them.Do you have any effective advice as to how I can get my professors to know me better personally?
I can only guess that you're talking about huge lecture courses. Otherwise it sounds like your profs don't care to know you better personally. There's not much you can do in that case.
Try taking some smaller classes. Honors courses are good for that, or ones that meet at 8 or 9 a.m. In a class of 10-25 students, most profs will know everyone's name within a week. Participate a lot in class, do good work, go to office hours, ask questions that go beyond what you need to know for the exam to show you're genuinely interested in the subject. If you know you will definitely want a letter of recommendation from one of them, don't be afraid to ask them and set up an appointment with them to talk about it face-to-face even if they also want a CV and other info from you.
1. Work your butt off and get good grades. Stellar work makes people remember you.
2. Participate when you have something to say- an interesting question or information you found in the reading. Make it topical, though, don't just talk for the sake of it.
3. Go to office hours with specific questions and issues- not just to show your face.
4. Are you in your major? If not yet, that will present a chance to get to know the faculty in your department and take smaller classes. You'll be able to study with them on a closer level and get to know them.
Frosh and sophomore years are all about lectures and finding what you like, so don't worry if it takes a little more time to get to know the faculty. If you are already in the major, register for seminars and keep working hard.
show interest and be a regular so they remember you..
or you could bring them an apple everyday... and if they are really special you give them a caramel covered apple with nuts.
thanx betch
eat lunch with them
You have had some good advice. Let me add 2 things.
Try to sign up for several classes from a good professor or 3 in your major and minor . You will not need recommendations from all of your profs; they tend to remember you better when you take a 2nd or 3rd class.
I really got to know my professors in the biology department because I did outstanding work my freshman year and was asked to be a lab assistant instructor for my remaining years in school.

Any of you have an advice reading Biography of John Adams by David McCullough?
Because I want to do good on my multiple choice test by the end of the summer. And the book has like 600 plus pages. I take notes by reading a page and writing about a page about it. What would be the shortest way of taking notes? Since I take AP US History my teacher will be asking trick questions. I really need help. I am just borrowing the book.Any of you have an advice reading Biography of John Adams by David McCullough?
600 pages and all summer to do it? Doesn't sound too difficult. If you haven't got the book for long, ask for it at your local library, they will get it in for you from another library if they don't have it in their own collection.
Read the whole book, start to finish.
Then read it again, making notes as you go (not on the book pages obviously, so it doesn't matter if your are borrowing the book). Take notes of all the things which seem important in a big way, his birth, schooling, early adulthood, travels, marriage, onto his early important cases, and so on through his life.
Note on a second pad all the interesting things. All the things which are impressions of the man, rather than facts.
If you need to, read the book again after that, and all the facts and all the impressions will really be ready for you when you need to answer the questions.
After all, it's only multiply choice, you don't need to write essays or dissertations on the subject, so it shouldn't be too difficult at all.Any of you have an advice reading Biography of John Adams by David McCullough?
Don't call your teacher the fool he is. This would be a fine book to use in an essay, a good secondary text for a survey course, but as a basis of a multiple choice test?
It'll only be able to cover major points, so the reality is you could read a ten page biography of Adams and do just as well on the test. OK, that's most likely not entirely true, he'll have few to just trip you up. I'd suggest taking short notes, write down the major career changes, a time line, make sure to take some notes on the personal stuff as well as the politics. Figure he'll throw in at least one on something like a description of Adam's farm.
By short notes, I mean don't analyze every page. Just note down the major events, personal and public. What he did prior to politics, who else served with him, etc..
Here are some I can see being asked
What state was he from?
What did his father do for a living?
Where did he get his education?
What business was he in, before politics?
What was his role in the Boston Massacre?
What did he do during the war?
What was the name of the peace treaty he helped negotiate?
What offices did he hold, in what order?
When he was vice-president, who was president?
What political party was he in?
What major piece of controversial legislation did he sign?
Who succeeded him in office?
etc

Can you give me some advice on my gym schedule ?
I only have access to the gym from monday to thursday (from friday to sunday I'm in a different town, which unfortunately doesn't have one). I heard that the optimal number of bodybuilding sessions per week is 3-4, but I don't know if it's ok if I do all four sessions in consecutive days and then take 3 days break. How do you think I should build my schedule ? Should I also do some exercises at home during the weekend ? What exercises would you recommend ?Can you give me some advice on my gym schedule ?
I suggest you conduct your gym sessions on tuesday, wednesday and thursday. And when you in the other town, train on saturday and sunday. Because it is not okay to do all four sessions in consecutive days. At home, do resistance exercise using your bodyweight if you have no access to any dumb-bell or equipment.

Do you have any good advice I can give to a friend going to prison?
He was caught in a sting operation. He may be doing some time. He plead guilty and was honest about everything. Still he got sentenced to 12 years, and that was the minimum!Do you have any good advice I can give to a friend going to prison?
1. Don't gamble
2. Do NOT get in debt to anyone for ANY reason
3. Be prepared to defend yourself.
4. If you do get into a fight, dont' stop swinging. Get back up and swing some more. The predators in there are looking for easy prey, not one that fights back
5. Do NOT get involved in homosexuality in way, shape, form or fashion.
6. DO NOT SNITCH. EVER!!! This will get you killed.
7. do NOT get involved in any drugs or drug trade.
8. Do what the staff tells you without backtalk.
9. Mind your own business.
10. You're not there to make friends. Be friendly but remain private.Do you have any good advice I can give to a friend going to prison?
Tell him to never show fear in the joint. Showing fear to anyone is a sign of weakness and this attracts people who are going to want to punk him. Also, tell him never borrow anything from anyone ever cause if he does, he will be owing people ';Favors';.
Keep his mouth shut %26amp; CYA!!
Sleep on his back and don't piss anyone off.
Yep. Have himn go get a tattoo on his *** that reads ';EXIT ONLY';
Take advantage of the education opportunities that are afforded him.
Don't bend over to pick up the soap.
Be honest, but be quiet. Don't be a leader or a follower. Just be there and do unquestioningly as told. He probably can get out early if he participates in all the programs offered and tries to show himself reformed.
Don't do it again. (obviously)
Make sure he knows that he should have very good behavior, because then maybe he could get out early, considering it was a drug charge, and nothing like assault that would make him seem ';dangerous.';
Tell him to take advantage of whatever kinds of classes the prison offers (some of them offer college/GED programs if you need them).
Tell him to do the work,time and be a model prisioner. They will let him out even earlier than expected.
don't accept anything from inmates when he first gets there.. it's predator/prey in prisons... best thing he can do is set his boundaries right away...doing that will help him
p.s. nothings free in a penitentiary
Whatever you do
DON'T
DON'T DROP THE SOAP!
Dont drop the soap and sleep with one eye open
Mind his own business while incarcerated, don't take what isn't his - people who don't have much to start with get really touchy about it, try for a job assignment on the inside to stay busy, and never ever ever pick up anything he drops in the shower.
With a record of good behavior he can try for an early parole.
In the event of an emergency, Squeeze, Drop, %26amp; Roll.

Tell him to never show fear in the joint. Showing fear to anyone is a sign of weakness and this attracts people who are going to want to punk him. Also, tell him never borrow anything from anyone ever cause if he does, he will be owing people ';Favors';.
Keep his mouth shut %26amp; CYA!!
Sleep on his back and don't piss anyone off.
Yep. Have himn go get a tattoo on his *** that reads ';EXIT ONLY';
Take advantage of the education opportunities that are afforded him.
Don't bend over to pick up the soap.
Be honest, but be quiet. Don't be a leader or a follower. Just be there and do unquestioningly as told. He probably can get out early if he participates in all the programs offered and tries to show himself reformed.
Don't do it again. (obviously)
Make sure he knows that he should have very good behavior, because then maybe he could get out early, considering it was a drug charge, and nothing like assault that would make him seem ';dangerous.';
Tell him to take advantage of whatever kinds of classes the prison offers (some of them offer college/GED programs if you need them).
Tell him to do the work,time and be a model prisioner. They will let him out even earlier than expected.
don't accept anything from inmates when he first gets there.. it's predator/prey in prisons... best thing he can do is set his boundaries right away...doing that will help him
p.s. nothings free in a penitentiary
Whatever you do
DON'T
DON'T DROP THE SOAP!
Dont drop the soap and sleep with one eye open
Mind his own business while incarcerated, don't take what isn't his - people who don't have much to start with get really touchy about it, try for a job assignment on the inside to stay busy, and never ever ever pick up anything he drops in the shower.
With a record of good behavior he can try for an early parole.
In the event of an emergency, Squeeze, Drop, %26amp; Roll.
I am getting a Parakeet today. Can you give me some advice?
What are some things I need to know? What if I get two? What are some tips, advice, anything. I'm trying to get the feel from other Parakeet owners. :-) Websites would be fine too!I am getting a Parakeet today. Can you give me some advice?
I'm glad that you're gonna give a lil budgie a new home. I hope a bit of this helps.
I first bought 2 parakeets, in pursuit of wanting to handtame them, while knowing that when I'm gone, they will have company around. It did not work out, because its really hard to handtame 2 parakeets, but it can be done. Also, I had one parakeet that was really unfriendly, the other was okay, but i guess was influenced by the other one's fear of humans. I eventually returned these two, and i exchanged it for just one. I loved this one, and I was able to handtame him pretty fast. After a month of bonding with him, i decided to get him a friend. lucky for me, this parakeet was friendly and curious, so when she saw my first one (Sage) perch on my finger, she followed along, so i didn't have to go through the handtaming process again. although, some parakeets actually will refuse to perch on their owner's finger once they have a friend. i'm glad that Sage isn't that way.
here are some tips:
--If you have 2, it will be really hard to handtame, but it can be done. also, they will bond more with each other than you. Even after bonding with him for a month, Sage loved being with Kairi (my second one) after a day of getting to know her, and was closer to her than he was to me. However, they are always happier when they have a friend around.
--Your bird may be a little uncomfortable on the first day, so don't be shocked if he doesn't move/eat when its in its cage. My Sage just sat at the same spot for the whole day. My advice is to put a cloth over the cage at night, and after a while, you'll hear that its starting to eat, or if you peek inside, it will have moved positions. (Sage and Kairi both did this)
--Don't open the cage door, unless your parakeet is already comfortable with you.
--Depending on the parakeet's character/personality, not all parakeets play with every bird toy its given. Don't waste too much money on expensive toys. From surveying, a mirror, perch, and bird playground are usually the universal toy love of most parakeets. Don't get toys yet until you're sure of what your bird likes. I made this mistake, and I have a few unwanted bird toys in the house.
--Something good you could do for your parakeet to get to know you is try just filling his food bowl with a lil bit of food each time, so you can change it more times in a day (if you're home a lot). The parakeet will then associate your hand with the feeding, and it will also make it more comfortable around you.
--the way you treat your parakeet when you're attempting to tame it is very important. I highly recommend the method of if it moves away when you're attempting to pet it/make it perch on your hand or even sticking your hand in the cage, immediately remove your hand from the cage and try again, then try again in a few minutes. This will teach your parakeet that you're not a predator, and also if he's uncomfortable with something, he will just simply move to one side, rather than fly around the cage, run franticly, or even bite.
--water bowl needs to be changed daily, and cleaned often. i recommend putting only a daily sufficient amount of food, and cleaning the food bowl every day.
--don't give an all seed diet, as that's not good for the parakeet. put in carrots, broccoli, apples, (you can google up the rest of the good-for-parakeet fruits+vegetables, these are just the ones that I usually use) also. a specialist recommended me to do 50% seed, 50% fruit/vegetable.
--if you have handtamed your parakeet, and it is willing to come out of the cage, remember not to take him out for more than 30 minutes. after getting to know you more, it might be okay to take him away from the cage for more than 30. I did this mistake with Sage, and he began hating coming out of his cage, until someone pointed out my mistake. After doing the 30 minute limit thing, he felt more comfortable leaving his cage. Now that I've had him for a month, he's comfortable leaving his cage longer than 30 minutes.
--if you are going to stay in the same room where you put his cage, tie the door open, so your parakeet knows that it will always have access back into the cage.
if there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to contact me. being a new parakeet owner isn't something that's easy, and I understand the fears and excitement of being one. I'm glad that you're giving a budgie a new home :). they are lovely pets.I am getting a Parakeet today. Can you give me some advice?
Well, always feed your parrots and take them a bath every 3 to 5 days. Never leave them unfed. They will drive you nuts! They are usually quiet birds. Good breeding!
there a lot of fun if you only have one then get him or her a lot of toys to play with so you can stop him from being lonley and make sure to hand train it so you dont get biitten and you can hugg it
Parkeets are great beginner pets, welcome to the group! When you go to the petstore, they are not as knowlegable(most of the time). Parakeets need a larger cage than most people think(as large as possible).
If you purchase two they will bond to each other and not you. If you are going to play, train, etc, then get one. If you are leaving it in the cage most of the time get two.
Pet stores usually have their bird on a seed diet. A seed only diet is unhealthy. You may want ot change to pellets if you are not going to feed fruits are veggies, seed AND pellets. A 1/3 of each is recommeded. If your budgie is picky and wont eat the veggies than switch to pellet only. The package will tell you how to convert. Mine switched over in a few weeks. You also need vitamins for the water.
You will want a young bird. Parakeets that are young have lines that go from the nape of thier neck to the cere(fleshy art above beak).
When you get the bird home, put it in the cage and leave it fr a few days. You don't want to stress it out. You will have 12-15 years to bond. Watch to be sure it is eating and drinking.
A vet check is recommended, sometimes bird carry parasites. It's good to know a good vet in the area, incase of an emergency.
Birds need a lot of toys, buy at least 10, as they should be rotated about once a week to prevent boredom.
The bird should be in an active part of the house, and should covered at night. Birds will not sleep if there is any sound and complete darkness will help them relax.
Change water 3-4 times a day. Bird like to bathe, poop, etc in the water and bacteria grows.
In the mornng mist your bird with water(never at nght before the sleep), as they need adiquate time to dry. This will keep the feathers shiny and healthy and encourage preening.
Congrats! Parakeets are fine on their own but if you buy two they will be much happier! ( Pst! Make sure they're the same gender, or else you'll have a lot more parakeets than you bargained for!) Make sure they have plenty of seed and fresh water. And if you have a cat, watch them very closely, my cats have knocked the cage off the table so many times! Happy keet hunting! :)
Here is a suggestion.Before getting any animal perhaps it would be far better to read up on how to care for the animal before you actually go out and get one.To many times people get an animal only to get it home and have no idea how to care for it.Educate yourself before you acquire the animal.You may decide before hand that the animal you are wanting to get is going to require more then you are capable of giving.
