I can't gurantee that my advice will always be right. And some things I might not even know. But I will do my best to answer any questions :] I'll tell you exactly what i think, so if you don't like it, dont read it!
And lately, i've discovered that one of the best answers for relationship problems is communication. talk. explain. share. it does wonders.

advice

How do you make something in a picture in color and the rest in black and white? Like selective coloring or something?

If you use adobe photoshop, use the magic wand to select the part you dont want black and white and copy/paste it onto a new layer. Then make another copy of the background. Use the "color" mode on the paintbrush [make sure the colors are black and white on the square thingies] and paint of the copy of the b/g so that it's black and white. That way, the part you dont want black and white will still be showing [on a different layer] and if you wanted it to be all colored again, just delete that black and white layer :)

does anyone know how to change a picture to black and white, and then save it as a picture again?

ill rate 5s!!!

Adobe Photoshop [i think any version works... i used 2.0 and 7.0.1]! If you have that program you can convert color pictures to black and white :) I learned that a few weeks ago in digiphoto class.

welllll .. i made a HUGE mistake and umm kissed another boy while i was going out with my boyfriend and well he didnt dump me exactly and he always brings it up though =| idn what to do i cant live with this anymore. what should i do ?

You must have hurt your boyfriend a lot if he keeps bringing it up. He's probably scared that you might do something like that again. the best idea is to TALK TO HIM. Talk with him and tell him that you wont do it again or something. Try to gain his his trust again and prove that you won't do something stupid like that again. Trust trust trust. Good luck in gaining his back.

I have to covert a monologue out of Romeo and Juliet from Shakespeare's language to modern english, and i cant figure out a few of the lines.. if you know what any of them mean it would be ALOT of help. easy 5 ratingg


1. Why rail'st thou on thy birth, the heaven,and earth?
Since birth and heaven and earth, all three, do meet

2.Fie, Fie, thought sham'st thy shape,thy love, thy wit:
Which, like a usurer, abound'st in all
And useset none in that true use indeed
Which should bedeck thy shape, thy love, thy wit:

3. Digressing from the valour of a man

4.Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love
Mis-shapen in the conduct of them both
Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask

This website translates Shakespearean into modern english. For romeo and Juliet it would be:

I hope this helps you. If i didn't already have so much homework and stuff, I'd look it all up for you, but sorry.

We have to do this research project on Day of the Dead for spanish and I'm finding most of the stuff but some things I cant find are...

What significance do the monarch butterflies have?
What are "calaveras"
Whose an artist famous for their representation of skeletons for the celebration of "Dia de los muertos"
Name a location in Mexico that is famous for their Day of the Dead celebration.

I've been on all night and this is my last resort!! If you feel like your doing my hw for me than could you at least give me some links to some sites you think have this on? Muchos gracias!!! Buenos noches!!

Every autumn Monarch Butterflies, which have summered up north in the United States and Canada, return to Mexico for the winter. The inhabitants welcome back the returning butterflies, which they believe bear the spirits of their departed.

calaveras are sugar skulls [sweets]

Jose Guadalupe Posada was a famous artist known for his representation of skeletons

Michoacan, Oaxaca and Mexico City are all known for their "day of the dead" celebration

Those should answer all the questions you were asking. If you have any more questions, just leave a message :)

my girlfriend is having a halloween party and i forgot about it and made plans with my friends to go to the movies. should i go to half the party and then to the movies or to all of the party. do you think my girlfriend will be mad if i dont go to the whole party

wow. I think the decision is obvious. but then, maybe it's because it's me. You should go to the party since it IS your girlfriend and it seems like you had agreed to go to the party before you had agreed to going with your friends to the movies. I'd stay at the party, since you seemed to have implied that you knew about the party before you made plans for the movie. Besides, if you ditch half way through the party, you might hurt your girlfriend's feelings.

ok i am going to make this short on friday i am goin to go see my boyfriend and meet his mom. since it will be cold i am plannin to wear a brown outfit that has a jacket with it. my onlu question is this. i got black and pink shoes? what should i do? i dont got any others because i through them out over the summer and havent had enough money to get new ones. what should i do? well it look bad?

Do you mean you have black shoes AND pink shoes? Or a pair of black and pink shoes? Either way, I'll try to answer your question.

If you had a choice between black and pink shoes, black would go with brown more, just because they're both subtle and 'bleaker' colors compared to pink. If you have a pair of black and pink shoes... as long as there's more black then pink, I don't think it will be an issue. I don't think your appearance will be that big of a deal either, if I were someone's mom about to meet their boyfriend/girlfriend, personality would be more important than appearance. As long as your outfit is nice, I don't think your shoes will be that important :)

18/f/ohio

I was wondering if anyone would know what I could possibly get my 25 year old boyfriend for christmas. Its not really that far away and I would like some ideas so that I will know how much i should save up. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I rate high. Thank you for your time.

Well, you can always ask him what he would like... unless you want it to be a surprise. Then keep your ears open and also see what he likes. I can't really give you any suggestions since I don't know your boyfriend's taste, but you should see if he wants anything [through hints or random conversations]. Once you find out, you can figure out teh price by going to stores or going online and then start saving up. Home-made things aren't that bad of an idea either. It shows that you actually take the time to show that you love him.

Okay I am 18/f and I have a wonderful boyfriend. He's 22 and he lives about 1 hour from me because he moved that far to work. He comes to visit me every weekend and calls me every night. We have alot of fun and talk about everything. We have been dating on anf off for 3 years now and are planning on getting married in about 1 1/2. Recently at my work I noticed this guy flirting with me alot, and well I do the same. I saw it as harmless, I would joke with him and stuff and he would back. He had a girlfriend at the time too, but just the other day he walked over to me and pushed me against the wall and said 'watsup babe' and laughed. I found it funny at first but a little odd, then I found out he broken things off with his girlfriend partly because of me. He also slipped me his phone number in my work folder and the other day I saw him he asked me to come to his apartment. I really find him attractive(he looks like the lead singer from my chemical romance) and really like him, I only want to be friends with him because I love my boyfriend so much and wouldnt ever cheat. But when Im around the guy at work Im much more open and talkative then I am with my actual boyfriend. Im just asking if its wrong to be friends with a guy that likes me in a way that my boyfriend wouldnt find appealing?

Did you re-read what you just said? 'to be friends in a way that your boyfriend won't find appealing'. If you know that your boyfriend probably wont be happy about this, you shouldn't do it. Just because you're more open and more talkative doesn't mean that you have a closer bond or anything similar to what you have with your boyfriend. It could be that you just see him as a person who you can talk to easily, like a really close friend. not a boyfriend. I would suggest that you don't be friends with the guy from work in a way that your boyfriend wont like. You can be like, close friends with him, but nothing else. I think if you really love your boyfriend like you say, think before you act. If you can really like another guy, you should re-think of whether or not you want to be with your boyfriend. You can only have one guy. Seeing that you guys have been going off and on for 3 years, I'd think that your boyfriend would be more important and you'll consider him before you do anything you'll regret. So, basically, if you think your boyfriend won't like how your friendship with the other guy is, then you shouldn't do it.

I had this "so called friend" today. I was drinking my soda and she purposelly hit the bottle so it spilled. Everywhere. And she laughed. LAUGHED! And it was on my arm, shirt, jeans, chair, floor, and not to mention IN MY HAIR! I was so MAD!Anyway after that I go "what was that for" & she says "i wanted to see what would happen" GRRRR!In that class there are only 3 of us and the third is good friends with her. How should I talk to her tomorrow, or should I talk to her at all? I WANT HONEST OPINIONS!ALL 5s

wow. someone has a twisted mind. I don't think you just go and talk to her. If she asks why you're so moody, you should tell that you're upset about what she did, purposefully spilling the drink on you, and if she tries to defend herself, tell her you didnt think it was funny or that if you had done it to her, what would have she done? If she replies that she wouldn't care or laugh it off, you should either think she's lying because who wouldnt care? or just dump a soda on her to see if that's how she'd really react. Either way, I don't think things will work out very well unless she's the first one to apologize.

Hey, So I screwed up really bad. I stole 3 pairs of pants from one of my friends. But then I gave them back, I said sorry and explained myself and everything. But now I don't feel like any of my friends like or trust me. What can I do to get our friendship back? PLEASE HELP!!

Why the heck did you steal three pairs of pants from your friend?

Aside from that, you'll have to work hard to earn their trust. It's easier to lose trust than to gain it. You just have to be on your best behavior and prove to your friends that you have changed. It might take a while, but your friends might start to see that you've changed and start trusting you again. But now you know, don't steal your friends' stuff.

long story short:
I went to a party met a really cool guy there and now we're pretty deep
it's been like a year now and he asked me if we could *blush* you know what.
I'm sooooooooooo not ready beCAWZ we are both erm, young totally not the time until we've got our lives together.
So anyway I heard a rumor about how he's been creeping around with other chicks going into hotels then the next thing i know my girl calls me up spitting bs because she saw him with this girl in his backseat ((sooooo not cool))
I asked him and he said no.
here is my question:
My girl never lies to me we're blood ((blood sisters but not like that))
but she could be jealous but so many people have said it and said it was like a different girl every night. I really dont want things to end but they just might
WHAT DO I DO?!!-signed.
WULA!

It sounds like he's the one who is lying rather than your blood sister. I don't think you should 'blush' you know what with him. You should end things if it turns out that the rumors are true. It might be 'heartbreaking' but it's probably for the best.

i seem to be targetted by vandals at my home
whilst on holiday vandals climbed over an 8' gate and broke a window in my vehicle - police didn't bother to come out!

I have had missiles thrown down the drive hitting my rear door and garage

Banana skins dropped at the top of the drive

and an 8' cane thrown at the drive gates

this has been going on for some months now - I have never seen anyone to be able to identify them

not sure how to react - do i just ignore it and hope they get bored?
I am on my own and getting very restless about this I can't understand why i am being targetted

any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Don't ignore it!! They'll probably take it as a sign that you don't really care and just keep on vandalizing your home. You might want to invest in, rather than a gun, a security system... maybe on with security cameras? But that might be going a little way overboard. If the police don't come, go to them. Tell them that it is serious and they should do something about it. If they dont, take the matters into your own hands... and maybe think about investing in one or more guard dogs? I've never been vandalized so I don't know that much, but I hope you can beat them down! :)

well see my best friend is moving and All my old friends still HATE!!! me dont ask why...but I dont want to be around them and she is the only one that I can commuicate with when the others are around, and I want to move cause I am sick of there FAT mouths and they always want to ruin a relationship that I would be in... what do I do???

Find new friends. My brilliant answer. If your old friends hate you and talk badly about you, dump them. Who needs those kind of friends? Join a new group of people who will talk to you and be your friend and wont ruin your relationships. That's the best advice i could give... get rid of your old 'friends' and find real ones.

well me and my boyfriend broke up 4 or 5 days ago, and I talked to him today and I mentioned that I am talking to a x bf of mine,and he didnt sound very happy, I asked him if he was ok he said yea....but he didnt sound like he wanted me to date another guy, when he broke up with me he told me from his heart that I was the hardest girl to break up with cause he really cared for me, and he barely has emotional feelings for girls but he was CRYING on the phone when he told me that he just wanted to be close friends.... can ya please give me some advice on if he still cares for me...

Just wondering, he cared so much for you... why did you guys break up? Who broke up with who anyway? It's hard to tell if he still cares for you, I think you should wait a bit and see first. He might be sincere or he might not. If he was literally crying, then he might be though and though it sounds like he might be jealous when you talk about other guys, if he still cared for you, why would have he broke up or let you break up with him in the first place? I think you should give it a bit more time and see if he sincerely cares.

16 m: okay so last year I had a good thing going with this girl.she was amazing and I seriously had it bad for her.we used to hold hands through the school and she was always scooting her desk next to mine in history class and we would always just talk and it was as if nothing else mattered.so one day i asked her out and she said that she wanted to be single for a while to get over her ex.I completly understood and so I gave her what she wanted. So i held out for her the whole summer only to find out 6 weeks into this school year she got back with her ex during the summer.when she told me this i was seriously pissed but i didnt show it.I think she knows what she did to me because now she wont even look at me. I havn't spoken to her since last wednesday.Now I feel as if I wasted my time waiting and I find myself wondering if anything between me and her even matters to her now.What should I do?

Hmm.. first, go get a cookie and eat it [chocolate chip is the best], sit down, relax, and read [or you can just skip to the reading part]. I'm not always this random.

You might have wasted your summer waiting for her, but that doesn't mean you don't have any time left. So it was one summer, but there are still many more summers [well about three for high school]. Plus, there's the school year, too. You lost a summer, but at least you won't be wasting your school year. Forget the girl and get out there! Find better girls, stop mopping about waiting and enjoy life. :)

alright well my friend asked me out and he likes me. and i like him, just not as much as he likes me. i like him, but not really enough to go out with him. but silly me i said yes to him because i didn't wanna hurt him. but i know that i'm probably hurting him worse just by going out with him. like he tells me he loves me and i know i don't feel that way back towards him but i still say it...is this really bad? because i don't really know what to tell him...

I think this is bad o___o You should tell him the truth. It might hurt him, but it'd be better than telling him that after going out with him... that would probably hurt a lot more. Tell him you still want to be friends, but only friends. If he's hurt over that, well, it's a lot better than hurting him a lot more by 'leading him on'. I hope you can clear things up with your friend :)

13/f. I'm so depressed. I feel like everything is declining. All I can do is remember "the good ol' days." My best friend just broke up with me that I had since kindergarten. Now at school, I'm completely friendless since she moved to Chile.
My choir used to be so great, but now, everyone has lost commitment, and all the best pieces have been "pulled." The younger choirs are now much more recognized, since the older choirs won't practice. This is a very prestigious choir...we performed at St. Peter's Basilica, and Carnegie Hall! But now, it has gone to dust. :( My mother is not the way she used to be, ever since she was framed at work. She has major depression. she's not fun anymore. Even the United States isn't in good shape right now, with troops in Iraq and forests being sliced apart for firewood and mountains tabletopped for coal. All I do is just remember what life was like a couple years ago, when everything was at its peak, and I just feel terrible. Can someone help me? Sorry that this is so long, but I'm lonely and need someone to talk to.

Thanks

*Luna*

You can talk to me! haha. Right now, I'm feeling just like you are. Depressed and needing someone to talk to. =P Funny huh? I don't know what instant messaging or what not you have though, so you'll have to leave me a message so i can talk to you!
