My boyfriend races motocross and I want to make a shirt to support him. I know what I am putting on the back, but I need help thinking of something to go on the front. I was thinking of a quote, but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Someone please help? :) Thanks.

No one is ever honest about their opinion of someone when they're being interviewed by a newspaper or a TV show or anything media related. They only state the good things about them like "She's a hard worker and so selfless" and "She's the most giving person I know" blah blah. It's always positive when others are looking. What crap. You never hear someone just flat out say "Personally, I think she's kind of a bitch."

What do you think, will I'll Have Another take home the Triple Crown? Who was rooting for him? Who wasn't? Did the ending surprise you? I was rooting for him, and I can't wait to see him SHINE in Belmont!

So my 14 year old brother told me that he has random intense adrenaline rushes that makes him feel like he has to hit somthing. If he's in public and doesn't want to make a scene by hitting things, his hands and legs shake. He continues to shakes his hands or legs until he can hit somthing, then it goes away. Its a very intense feeling for him and it comes on randomly. I just wonder if anyone else has ever experienced this and what it could be from, he says he's not stressed (like I said its random).

I connect my Asus and it says it does not support MTP or something? Please Help!!!

I'm 13 btw and very mature so i can handle anything even totally disgusting

I'm starting this new diet plan for me today. I'm trying to eat exactly or less than 1200 calories. I do between 100 to 200 sit ups a day, 20 push ups a day, I might start walking or running a mile with my mom again, and dance for 30 minutes. I think I would do this for atleast an hour or more. I'm not sure though. I'm trying to loose weight so I can audition for this Korean music company, so my goal is, at minimum, 20 or 30 pounds. 50 or 60 would be better though.

And why didn't anyone make a bigger fuss about it during the 08 election?

Alright so I haven't missed my period just yet, but I'm supposed to get it in less than 10 days. I have every single symptom of being pregnant. Is it too early to determine if I am or not? I took a test earlier and it said negative. Should I just wait to see if I get my period? My breasts have been VERY sore the past two weeks or more, and I've been tired no matter how much sleep I've gotten the night before. I get headaches, and really odd cravings. This is nothing like my regular PMSing. Usually it isn't even there. Any ideas?

Alright, so in 2 weeks I will be performing Johnny B. Goode (Back to The Future version) at my high school concert. I am nervous and I want to be very entertaining to the crowd. I want to show off though. What are some cool things I could do while playing the guitar solo/ending to this song? Along the lines of the scene in the movie (i.e. the duck walk, playing on back, jumping in the air, kicking amp over, Van Halen guitar riffs, etc. stuff like this that will make the crowd wild)

2 weeks ago I started getting really light headed, when I'm already standing up walking around or stretching. Since 2 days ago I've had the urge to cough, not real cough sound though. Today I took my 2 month old to the zoo with family just to get out & do something, as soon as I got there I started getting chest pain when I took a deep breath. & It kept getting worse the more I walked? After I rested awhile the sharp pain in my chest went away. But I just recently got lightheaded & my whole body went numb & i immanently laid down. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what may be wrong with me? & Also I breast feed, if I am getting sick is it okay to still breastfeed my baby? Thankyou!

I went to a psychic show yesterday and my best friends mum talked to me (she committed suicide) she told me to pass on some messages but i'm not sure how to or if i should as they are only 15 and 11 so what and how should i do this?
