advice

I just graduated Highschool this past may and i want to get a place of my own and move in with one of my friends becouse iam not going to be able to live by myself what i want to know is what kind of bills would i have to pay i need to know all of them so i would know how much it would cost me to live on my own and what kind of stuff would i need to buy for the house and i want an estimate amount of how much it would cost.

Like venom said..

I would look for apartments that offer utilities included in the rent. That helps out a lot.

Bills range in price according to how much you use, and where you live.

I live in a big city so my bills are like this.

1200 for rent.
100-120 for electricity (AC takes a lot...)
150 for water
100 for internet, and phone (no cable but with cable it would be 150)
200 for gas for the truck
400 for food and such
100 for random things like a new part for the truck, or replace something that broke in the house
80 for the cell phone bill

So far were at 2350 a month....divide by 2 (assuming your friend splits the cost) is 1175.

This is just about what we pay in my city...

Then you have to take into account going out to eat, the movies, fun stuff, clothes, video games, and so forth.

Be prepared before you move out...It can get expensive...

My computer has the trojan horse virus. there are just pop ups trying to get me to buy spyware, and it is going very slow. I heard there was a way to clean out your computer to get rid of the virus. can anyone write down the steps to do so? thanks

Yep. Youve got smitfraud. Probably from a site like myspace.

If there is a window that pops up telling you to download something in order to see the page...dont click anything.

I would do a control-alt-delete shut down sequence to just turn off the computer.

Any one of the buttons (even the X button) could be the one that does the downloading...

TO fix it go here.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic17258.html

Scroll down just a little bit until you see the "removal instructions" in blue lettering and follow the steps. There will be a few things to download the most important of which is the smitfraudfix.exe file. So make sure you get those.

If you're not good with computers, get someone who is to follow those steps.

Ive had to fight it off several times due to people using my computer and downloading this stuff.....

I do hope you get it fixed soon.

This "virus" is a pain in the butt!

I've been wondering, what is it that makes Christian music, Christian music? A fair amount of music I like is classified as such, and I never figured it out.

Thanks in advance =]

It's where the lyrics worship God. It is not the instruments and how they are played. Just the lyrics.

I hope I helped!

Whats some good christain worship songs ??

Oh man. Lots!

Anything by Chris Tomlin

I really like "The Wonderful Cross"
"Indescribable"

My favourite band is Casting Crowns.

Look them up and listen to "Praise you in this storm". Or "We are the body"

Kutless is a good band.

I like "Take me into the Holy of Holies" by them

Day of Fire has a good song called "Rain Song."

Michael W. Smith has some good songs too.

Man its awesome you want Christian music. If this stuff is too hard (Some people think it is) then I can give some softer stuff and if you think some is too soft I can also give you heavier stuff.

:to some people who think rock music is the devil:

There is nothing wrong with Christian rock music. Rock music is not the devils.

God Bless

what does "Never underestimate my Jesus." mean?

Its a song by Reliant K.

It means that Jesus can do anything. There is no impossible for Him.

Recently ive been thinking alot about death, and its nearly at a point where its uncontrollable.
i dont know why but im really afraid of whats going to happen in the afterlife, if there is one. ive made alot of mistakes in my life before, and i keep on thinking that will affect what will happen.
at night i often think about it and start crying.
i used to want to die because of personal issues, but now i want to keep on living forever.
someone please help me :( i feel really paranoid!!

Everyone thinks about death...its gunna happen. However to the afterlife part, I firmly believe there is an after life called Heaven and Hell. If you want to live forever all you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Once you accept Him, your past, and future mistakes are forgiven and forgotten. Everyone is afraid to die, but that doesn't have to be the end of it. He's waiting for you. Have everlasting life with Him. Dont spend it in Hell. It is not a good place. Spend it in Heaven.

If you want more info let me know.

So later, i have to give a testimony or a speech about my relationship with God and pursuading young teens to keep on praising God. How exactly should i do that? I mean, what should i say? Answers ASAP please.

Just speak from the spirit.

Talk about the good he has done for you.
Talk about how hes helped pull you out of bad situations.

Talk about how awesome He is. How much He loves you.

i heard of this soda called Jones Soda.. um where can i buy it from.. i live in NJ, too. also have you had it before and is it good and stuff? and is it expensive? and other things i should know :) thanks

Buy it at wal-Mart too. Its by the alchohol mixers usually.

It is quite good. My favorite flavors are fufu berry, and crushed melon, and their creme soda is awesome.

For all you celiacs out there too, its also gluten free! Yay!

*EDIT*

There is no alcohol in it...It's just by the mixers usually. It's also sometimes by the generic soda drinks. It is Alcohol free! Yay!

I need your help deciding what the ideal menu for a public dinner would be.

Not knowing what would be the best dishes to serve is making this an impossible task.

If you will tell me your favorite foods, or point me to your favorite recipes, it would really help a lot.

You can list as many things as you like. They don't have to be fancy things at all. I am all about the comfort food baby! :)

This will be a mixed group of people so I would like to have something for everyone.

Cooking for a banquet is not as hard as trying to figure out WHAT to cook!

Everyone will receive feedback.

Thank you!

P.S. If all that was a lot to digest, pun intended, here is a summary: Please list all your favorite foods.

Mac and cheese

Hotdogs and burgers.

BBQ chicken

Greenbean cassarole

Candy

cupcakes...

sandwiches

Spaghetti

Taco Salad

There is an odd purple lump growing on the bottom of my foot. I don't know what it could be! It itches like crazy and I cant walk on it, cause if I put all of my weight on it, I pass out for hours at a time. Could this be bad? Should I see a doctor?

I would go to the doctor. Its probably bad.

Hi i was wondering if someone that knows alot about computers (how to fix viruses) could just reply and i could get in contact with you to explain whats wrong. Thanks

Does it have to do with myspace, and MS something, and fake anti spyware?

I registered with the name "The MoUsY spell-checker" on the discussion board, and I cannot login.

I have received the confirmation email and clicked on the validation link, and I received an error message "Invalid username/password combination."

I tried to login again by typing the password myself, and it redirects me to the main forum listing page, but I'm still not logged in.

I have tried clearing my cookies and logging in again, and also using a different browser, and it still doesn't work.

I think the problem might be with my password, but I can't login, so I can't change it.

What can I do about it?

I deleted your account.

Go register again...

heres another question. we checked the starter wire on my car and it was good the battery is good too and it wont start i can hook something to the battery start it up but as soon as i take the cables of the battery it wont stay started so we dont think that the starter is bad what else could be wrong with it?

Your alternator is not giving enough juice....I would get it check out, before you try to replace it...If the battery is good, and the starter is good it usually means the alternator has gone bad...

Or your solenoid has gone bad....Your solenoid helps crank your starter, and if it doesnt work, then you wont get it to crank over....

But my first guess is the alternator, since you can get it started, but it wont stay running...

My birthday is in 6 days. My parents usually don't buy me much for my birthday but this year they said I can pick out something kinda "big." I really want a Sidekick and they think it's sooo expensive and they are like no way! But that's all I want. How can I convince them to let me get one? How much is texting unlimited?? Also don't tell me to be extra nice to them because I'm NOT a suck-up, I'm a real person. I already have perfect grades and I'm a good kid and I haven't gotten anything expensive in a while. I have Verizon and Verizon's text plans are kinda expensive and they don't have unlimited. So I need to know all of the prices and things you have to pay for when getting a Sidekick and I need it to sound perfect. :] My parents are very close-minded and it's their way or the high way. so please help out =/

If they said no, then get on the highway....

Save them money and get something cheaper....sounds like you already have a phone.

I also like how you said you're not a suck up, and a real person and then brag about your grades and being a good kid and havent gotten anything expensive "in a while."...What did that even have to do with anything?

You said you wanted a PSP..go for that...its cheaper...since you want something expensive.

Save them money, get something cheaper....Like you said they said..."pick out something KINDA big"

my car will not turn over the battery is good the car just will not turn over what could be wrong with it?

If it doesnt even crank over, then its probably your starter.....

It could also but spark plugs, fuel filter being clogged, or worn out, fuel pump...

But im willing to bet its the starter...if you know what a starter is, try hitting it with a wrench then try starting it...if it does, you need a new starter, cause hitting it will only last a little while....

OK, I feel REALLY REALLY dumb asking this by the way.

I know the actually term hooking up is having sex, but i'm aware that it means something else less sexual, but i just can't figure it out, i feel out of the loop and i don't know why i don't know what it means. help?

Also it means to Get together and hang out...

Lets hook up after school...

It also means something along the lines of :I got dibs on that, or someones gunna help us out man..I got what you want

Yo man, I got the hook up...wes be partyin tonight

I got the hook up, so lets do this..
