Since she's been wearing hair extensions forever, so she probably didn't have any choice but to finally shave her head to get all the glue out! She's always had access to lots of wigs, so there's really no reason for her to show the world her naked head. Oh, but that's right, it's the only body part of hers we hadn't seen yet!
Britney Spears is a very sad...

What song is AntigoneRising's avatar dancing to?
I think it's a song from 1984 called "Carribean Queen" by Billy Ocean. Here it is on YouTube. It takes a couple minutes before he starts dancing like that cute little AR avatar does.
I think Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" might work too.

Answer to:
Do you prefer a shiny gloss on lips or a matte color
I think matte color makes lips look dry and like they're ready to crack open. Lips shouldn't look fake or gooey either, like there's syrup on them or something! That's why I prefer my lips to be moist with some color, as long as it's not too thick or too shiny.

How do you know if you will be a good parent? Is good pet ownership an indication, or does it not matter?
Regardless of what some pet owners call their animals, pets are not children! Pet ownership is however, a good way to know if you are worthy and responsible enough to be in charge of another living being. But pets can be left home alone, and will require a different kind of lifetime commitment to their well being than what children need.
Our pets will love us without conditions, and while...

A kiss on the neck is a sure way to turn me on too, as long as it's done sincerely, and not to lead to something more.

What do you do when you love someone that doesn't love you back?
We're often told to never give up trying to get what we want. But there's a thin line between obsession / stalking and having found "the one" true love for you. Don't make the police have to tell you the difference! Know your value, and simply never give up on yourself!
Whenever we feel an attraction towards someone, it's never good to have to push them to...

If you're still doing the chores, why don't you simply ask her why she doesn't pay you anymore?
My best guess is you're not doing what you're supposed to do and she told you it was a problem before, but you didn't care to listen then because she was still giving you money.

I was nervous and it was cold in the studio, so I had plenty of do-overs. Whenever...

If your cat gets a flu or disease how much would it cost to make him/her better from the vet?
No way to know for sure, but check your local shelter to see if they provide any discounted medical care. If they don't have vet services in house, they might give out vouchers that help pay for part of the vet bill. You never know, so it's always worth asking! Good Luck!

If you move it, put it back. If you make a mess, clean it up. If you break it, admit it. If you can't fix it, call someone who can. If you borrow it, return it. If you value it, take care of it. Do you think these are good rules to live by?

It might not be defined as incest, however, over the years the definition of family has changed to include many acceptable variations.

This simply because they were raised as...

Answer provided by "bigfat" is good, but here's some more to know - Keep the litter box clean! This means scooping out any clumps of pee/poop every single day. Just like you not wanting to use a dirty toilet, your kitty knows enough to steer clear of a dirty litter box! If you're using scented litter, be sure it's not too strong and offensive, turning him off from wanting to use the...

Which will keep you drier, running in the rain or walking?
Please don't down rate me for posting this without proof or references, but I can't recall where I saw this tested. It might have been on Discovery's MythBusters, but again, I'm not sure. Anyway, you actually get wetter by running in the rain, versus walking, because you come in contact with more raindrops.

My female dog keeps walking around crying here and there. What's wrong with her?
If she's not "fixed" she could be in heat and wants to get outside to run and find a male dog to be with. Be careful when you open and close your door to outside and don't just let her go out loose in your yard - even if it's a fenced! She wants to get out during this time and she will find a way no matter what. You don't want your dog running in traffic or getting in a dog fight or...

Don't worry about the boys, that time will come later when it matters. Build your self-esteem now and study hard to become self sufficient. Hey, a typing class would be useful, huh?

My Sanyo TV has a "dark red" tint to it. The picture itself also is pretty dark and I cannot get normal color tones. Adjusting the different levels doesn't help. What could be the problem?
I don't have any TV knowledge - that is, other than having watched too much of it in this life - but I'd say it's done and time for a new one.
You don't say how old your TV is, but a few years ago mine was doing the same thing. I'd adjusted every level to the extreme, but eventually gave up trying to watch it. It had served me well, for about 10 years, so it wasn't such a hardship.

How tall is Ellen DeGeneres, and what size is she?
I posted the question on a forum and this is the answer I got from a fan (though her height is stated different in the other answer here): "I can give you a good guess on her weight. I saw her show back in January I had front row tickets and she doesn't even have an ass anymore. I'd give you a good guess of 125 pounds and she is 5 ft. 6 inches."

Pot is the most tenacious drug of them all. The length of time pot stays in your system depends on how fat you are. Pot clings to fat cells and hangs out for months. The best way to clear your system is by continuously drinking, cranberry juice, echinacea and golden seal.

Is it possible to get pregnant if you start taking your birth control the day after your period ends?
It all depends on how long you've been taking the pill, whether you've been late or missed taking a pill on any days. If you've been consistant, there should not be a problem, however, there is still a slight possibility.
If you just started taking the pill, it needs to be in your system at least 1 month, preferably 2 months, to be sure you're protected against an unwanted pregnancy. Be...

I have this one little bump that goe away and keeps coming beack every so often it is ithy but it is only in one spot always the saem never anywhere else? What could this be?
Do you mean a bump - like a pimple that you're squeezing and it keeps coming back? It could be a cyst, which needs to be lanced by a doctor to remove the core. The procedure can be done in their office, using a topical local to numb the area before it's cut. Once the core and pus have been drained, it shouldn't come back again. Hope this helps!

I have not had my period for four months, but I think I still regularly ovulate. Can I still get pregnant even though I don't get my period?
You don't say your age, but if you're in your 40's you could be going through what is known as perimenopause. This transition time can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years before menopause actually is final. If that's possible for you, the flow of your period changes or stops, but will start again on and off for months at a time. Menopause is when there have been no menstrual periods for 12...

It's not necessary to peel an onion under running water (skins shouldn't go down the drain in a garbage disposal anyway) but...

You know, stars don't know how long their fame will last, so they've gotta work when they can. I'm not...

Does Paris Hilton keep in contact with the family in Altus, Arkansas that she stayed with for a month during "The Simple Life"?
I recall reading in some rag magazine how she laughed about that stupid family and how she got them to believe she cared about them.

She said it was sickening they would do that to her, that she didn't care about...
