Q: So I heard this song a while ago on the radio. I have no idea what it is called and I cant even think of the words so i want to hear it. It is an older country song and it talks about all the things in a good country song! It is really funny song so I hope thats enough ifo to figure out what it is but i cant find it and i tried to find it online but i cant seem to. So thanks a bunch if you know it!
Sorry, but there is no way that any one is going to know what it is. Your question just has no helpful information on what it could possibly be. I could maybe find it if you had some refrains or chorus lines, but you don't. But you did say it was older, so I suppose this link of top country songs from the '90s might help a tad:

Hope that helps you a little bit and that you find the song. Who knows, you might hear it again sometime!

Q: So I have to go to Red Robin & I'm not sure what to do. Obviously they do not have their nutrition facts posted which is not a good thing & I'm watching what I eat. What would be my best option?? I don't want anything fried. I was looking between getting Pasta Fresca or the Ensenada Chicken Platter & just watching how much of eat I actually eat. Any ideas/opinions?? Thanks!
-Avoid anything that says creamy, au gratin, Alfredo, breaded, battered or batter-dipped.
-Say no to any cashier that offers your order supersized.
-Choose light vingaigrettes or dressings on the side for salads.
-Pick foods that are grilled, broiled, baked or roasted.
-Order fresh fruit or fruit sorbet for dessert (if you want any).
-Hold on the french fries and opt for a side salad.
-Skip out on any casseroles unless you know what they contain.
-Order foods in small sizes.
-If eating soups, opt for broth-based ones.
-Have tomato or vegetable toppings on pasta.
-Order for your stomach, not your eyes.
-Get it made to order- ask to hold the mayo or "special sauce".
-Drink water or nonfat milk as a low calorie drink.
-You can ask for a list of nutrition facts at the cashier desk, and then go back to the table and order after you've found a healthy choice.

Hope I helped!

Q: Is anyone a secret shopper? How does one become a secret shopper? Do you get free stuff in exchange with your feedback on the store and its customers? How does it all work?

Q: I wonder who farts more girls or boys. Is there any research? Whats your opinion?
Actually, the average healthy male and average healthy female pass gas about the same, although men's farts tend to be stinkier and louder since I assume men eat more protein (eggs, meats, etc.) which would produce a greater odor. For more info, I suggest reading the book "The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts" by Shinta Cho. Perhaps not an English reading book, but very informative. : )

Q: 17/m for a while now i've wanted to start meeting people online. not like relationships but just new interesting people to talk to. is there anyway to do that using AIM? if not, then how could i do something like that?
IMVU is like AIM, I suppose, since you instant message people. You have to buy hair and clothes for your little avatar dude, but you can promo points for free in the beginning that you can use. Just go to imvu.com and download it then you just press the launch chat or something like that (I haven't used it in a while). You can meet a ton of people from all over the world, and it's kind of fun, I suppose. Anyway, hope that helps!

Q: Hey everyone!
Ok, well today i was plucking the few stray hairs in my eyebrows, and i kinda overdid the job. Like you cant really really tell how much smaller my eyebrows are now, but there is a difference. I was just trying to even them out, but i kept taking more and more off till now, there is like barley any eyebrow left!
So my question is, is there anyway to grow your eyebrows back? I dont want to make a huge deal out of this, i just liked my eyebrows better when they were a bit thicker. I know you can just wait for them to grow back, but i really dont want those stray, shorter hairs. Thats the reason i was plucking them in the first place!

Anything will help.. open to anything!
Thanks soo much
Nice. : ) Try to use these sites I found for you as best you can, since I am concerned about you walking around with no eyebrows:

Q: What's the deal with coldplay lately? Are they making a new album or going on tour any time soon?
They have their fourth album almost ready, since their website released last month that they would add two newly recorded songs to the album. No release date as of yesterday (11/30) has been determined yet, but the album will be released soon (in a few months), when content and release date have been finalized. Find more information at http://coldplay.com/ and notice the pale eggshell words below the box, where it says "Myspace" etc. where I assume you can find more info. Hope I helped!

Q: Hey. I am obsessed with that song 'all good now' at the end of the movie cowbelles. I've looked everywhere for it but I can't get it.
Is it on limewire?
And if so what do I search for?
thanks in advanced ♥
Okay, well I don't know the name of the song or anything, because I don't know if "All Good Now" is the actual name, since I didn't get any good results for it on iTunes. But I typed in "cowbelles all good now" in LimeWire and I got 2 mp3 results, the others with little cones that you can't use. Yeah so, just type in "cowbelles all good now" in Audio on LimeWire, and there you go! : )

Q: what are the names of some good pop/rock bands???
I love the artist Mika! I don't know if he's pop/rock, but he's awesome! And some others are Paramore, The Red Jumpsuit Appartus, the All-American Rejects, Maroon 5, Boys Like Girls, The Cranberries, Matchbox Twenty and Linkin Park. I don't really listen to pop/rock, mostly either pop or rock, but I think the suggestions will help you. : )

Q: I have a problem with having ugly dark circles under my eyes. It normally wouldnt bother me, but I have short hair and a very fair skin complexion. How can I lighten or get rid of the dark circles?
Oh man, the person before me totally took all the obvious sites, but I will try to give you the best I can:
http://beauty.about.com/od/foundationsconcealers/f/darkcircle.htm
-Concealers for the circles.
http://www.pioneerthinking.com/op_darkcircles.html
-NATURALLY remove them! Begone evil eye circles with my natural removers! This is a pretty good site. I love doing things naturally.

I could give you more, but I think that that's all I can give you without being repetitive in my answers. Hope I helped!

Q: anyone know how to get over to europe from the east coast USA, for cheap?
i need some good deals for students maybe.
and are there any boat rides to europe? (anywhere in europe)
http://www.istc.org/sisp/index.htm
http://www.travelcuts.com/
http://www.statravel.com/cps/rde/xchg/us_division_web_live/

You can also try Orbitz, they have pretty good deals. That's all planes, since I am at a loss for boat trips to Europe. I Yahoo!ed and I Googled, but I am lost. But I hope those links help!

Q: im going to start motocross soon and i know this is a dumb question but is it as hard as people say it is?? how long does it take to learn??



thanks SOO much!!!!!
Okey-dokey this isn't my opinion or saying or anything, I found it online on a blog or something, but I can help you with their info I guess. I'll just copy and paste it:
"If you have never been on a bike before it is going to be very hard. I have been riding since I was about 9 or so and even now at the age of 21 I don't think I would be ready for full of pro motocross. Its more then just watching it on TV or even riding a practice bike. I would say you need at least 5 years of HARD core training with a professional teacher, right gear, good racing bike and such....also just reading info on a website is not going to help you either. Before you start to just ride for "fun" you need to take motorcycle safety classes at a motorcycle school and then start there. There is a ton that I could go on and on about....if you want more info on this then email me and I will try to help you as much as I can

ronnielynn3@sbcglobal.net
Good Luck and PLEASE take a class before you get on a bike..its more for you then anything."

So yeah, there you go! Hope this helps.

Q: Is fastweb.com legit? If not, where can I search for many different, real scholarships all in one place?
College Board Homepage
http://collegeboard.org/

Free Scholarship Search
http://freschinfo.org/

Gates Millenium Scholars Program
http://gmsp.org/

And yes, FastWEB is totally legitimate. Almost nothing on FastWEB is a scam or a fake. It's an excellent source of scholarships. But to make sure, red flags for scams are when they ask for credit card information or if they ask for money.
Good luck!

Q: Ok so i'm trying to lose weight but i have a question so here it goes whats is the maximum amount of weight i could lose in a week and month if i powerwalk for an hour a day which for me is usualy about 2 miles maybe more and i eat really healthy like organic foods and only drink water, milk, or some juice? also someone said that people who are overweight lose weight fast at first when they start doing that but as you have less fat to lose you lose weight slower if that makes sense is this true?
Yes. Overweight people hold a lot of water and loose fat, and it sheds off quickly at first. But then when they're like regular people trying to lose weight, they don't lose it as quickly, and they get frusturated and give up. That's why a lot of diets fail. The average healthy weight to lose for people losing weight to just be healthier, not because they're overweight is 1-2 pounds per week. So if you're overweight and dieting and training you'll lose more weight than that. Like on "The Biggest Loser" you'll notice they sometimes lose up to 10 pounds per week at first. Just go slow and ease into a new healthy lifestyle. You don't need to give up M&Ms, just eat them every so often and not a lot of them. And your healthy food is really good. Trying to limit your salt intake is one of the best things you can do, since most Americans eat 2.5 times more than the recommended amount. No soy sauce, remember though! : ) Hope I helped!

Q: I am in college and I need $100 by the end of next week! I dont have a job and my dad told me I couldnt borrow it I had to earn it on my own so anyone have any ideas how to get a $100 by at least thursday so I can deposit it friday in the bank?
1. Babysit- put a flyer in your local store or bakery, and you'll usually get several calls. A lot of people have kids, and in the holiday season, people need others to watch their kids while they go shopping, to parties, etc.
2. Sign up for credit cards- You can get up to $250 upfront for signing up for credit cards. Just put them away after, and you don't need to pay a penny of interest. You can make thousands of dollars this way.
3. Sell stuff on eBay- You would be surprised to see what people would buy for God-knows-what amount of money.
4. Complete a paid survey- People WANT your opinion, and they'll pay you for it.
5. Online mystery shopper- I don't really understand it (I never really looked it up), but they'll pay you for it!

Hope my suggestions help you!

Q: Well our school has this policy that you an't wear shirt's or tops that don't have shoulders, that include thin straps like spaghetti straps.

I have very cute tops. not slutty, but cute and the straps are like 2-3cm wide but that's still not an excuse.

And I don't want to wear a huge sweater with the zipper pulled down over it because then noone would see it.

I saw this girl once where she worse this sweater over top her top. Only there were no buttons, and it went just like to half of her stomache or under her boobs so it JUST covers her shoulders but shows off her style.

I'm trying to look for those but I don't know what they're called and where to buy one and i can't even find any pictures on the internet.

I live in Canada, Ontario. Can someone help me?
Shrugs? Like this? http://www92.pair.com/tandg/pdf0067.jpg
Similar style is a bolero, which is kind of the same thing. Or a cropped sweater, which is simply a tad different. You can get them in a lot of places, mostly department stores, as stores like AE and Hollister don't really have them. Here's some links:

Q: does any body know about the history of dermatology??
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
"The work De morbis cutaneis ("On the diseases of the skin" - 1572) by Geronimo Mercuriali from Forlì (Italy) is known as the first scientific tractation about Dermatology. Early photographic documentation of skin diseases was produced by Balmanno Squire, Dr. Alfred Hardy, Dr. A. de Montméja, Dr. Howard Franklin Damon, Dr. George Henry Fox and Dr. Oscar G. Mason in the late 1800s."

The first one is cute, and I really like the pink Volcom one from Tactics. I don't like the second one or the last one, or the fifth one, since it's a lot like the last one. The Dogfunk one is my favorite, and the second-to-last one is ugly. Hope I helped!

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)

Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.

Have a nice day!
Love,
missbananafontana
