Anyone know a good way to stop a habbit of biting my nails? I keep biting them w/out realizing it for a few minutes. My family keeps getting mad at for it. It's driving me crazy! Plese help. I'll rate high for god advice. Thanks! (link)
|
Drugstores sell special creams and nail polishes that you can put on your nails; they taste horrible, which helps you to stop biting them.
Personally, I stopped biting my nails when I realized that it was damaging my teeth.

ok so i will be turning 18 in a month and my boyfriend will to. and we would really like to move out with each other to get out of the house. but the only thing is we are both in high school. and do schools still accept you if you live on your own? and does anyone know what the deal is with colleges and what there policy is for a non-married couple living together? (link)
|
Yes, public high schools will accept you as long as you're a resident of the area. Some will also require that you be a US citizen.
As for colleges, it depends on the college. Most will probably allow you to live together. Some won't - Bob Jones University leaps to mind.
Good luck!

hey umm i have a laptop and one of the key covers on it fell out...does anyone know how i can fix it? the key still works though...thanks so much x0 nellie (link)
|
I assume that you've tried to snap the key cover back on, and it wouldn't go. If so, take a close look at the inside of the key cover. See if you can spot where the plastic is broken or bent. If it's only bent, you might be able to bend it back into shape with a penknife or small screwdriver. But that would only be a temporary fix at best, and the cover would almost certainly fall off again before long.
You can buy a replacement key cover for that key. Go to the store where you bought the laptop (and if it's still under warranty, they should fix it for free), and see if they have any in stock. If not, check around at other computer stores that carry that brand of laptop; you should be able to find it fairly easily.
If not, use Google.
Good luck!

Ok some of you may think this is extremely dumb and think I am nuts; but when you have no desire, you don't want to do much. In Sept, I got my heart broken by a guy I was in love with, my first of everything, so it was a killer. But when the left, he took my everything including my desire to continue with my education. I started missing days for no reason, just staying home for no reason; now I am up to 15.5 days of absence. Meaning I can't be absent without a doctor excuse, which blows because no one goes to the doctor for a tummy ache or just a migrane(which I suffer with a lot). But not only so, I just don't like the atmosphere at school, it's a drag. This whole area is depressed, there isn't much us teens can do without getting into trouble. So legally, I can pull myself out of school and I've talked it over with my mom, she doesn't agree but can't make me stay since I am legally able to drop out. Everyone gives me the, "you're too bright, you have a lot going for you, you could be anything you wanted, you could go anywhere you wanted... why settle for a GED or even shut the doors to all those opportunities?" But I can't just tell them I have no desire anymore, they wouldn't understand. So my question is.... should I just stick this year out (I have till the end of May.. which is like 80 something days) or do what I think will give me peace of mind and drop out? Please help me because no one around me seems to be... I'll rate good, promise!!!! (link)

I'm not a doctor, but what you described really sounds like it could be depression. Migraines and stomach pains are also pretty serious indicators that something's not right.
Rather than take a step which could screw up your whole future, why not talk to your mother or doctor about getting a evaluation from a mental-health professional? They could almost certainly help you, even if you don't have depression.
You certainly don't have to live an empty life, without feeling. You can have desire and happiness again. And talking to a professional about all this will help. Don't wait.
Additional: You've been misinformed. Your medical history is PRIVATE, by federal law - I'm in the business, and I've been trained in this area, so I know what I'm talking about. That includes any treatment for psychological problems, as well. Neither colleges nor any future employer will be aware of ANY treatment that you've received.
As for what type of professional to see, you might talk to your primary care doctor first - but I suspect that she or he would probably refer you to a psychiatrist for an evaluation, rather than a psychologist. Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and can prescribe medication. Psychologists cannot. Of course, medication may not be needed or appropriate in your case. But in many cases, it can be a real boon.

Is there any possible way that you could get pregnant from dry sex? (link)
|
Generally speaking, the odds are probably one in a billion. But there are lots of different kinds of "dry sex", including some I'm sure I've never thought of, and some may be more dangerous than others. Basically, the only way to get pregnant (as I'm sure you know) is for sperm to enter a vagina.
But sperm tend to die fairly quickly when exposed to air, and certainly die in (for example) swimming pools. No one has ever gotten pregnant from simply being in a swimming pool or bathtub with someone else, unless they had sexual intercourse in the process.
So the answer is "no".
BUT.
There's still a serious danger. Because if you're having dry sex, you're exposing yourself to extreme, almost unbearable temptation. In other words, dry sex can lead to real sex awfully quickly - you might be amazed how fast you can find yourself doing things that you never meant to do. So it would be a REALLY good idea to talk to your OB/GYN about birth-control options if you're female, or to get condoms and keep them with you at all times if you're male. Learn how to use condoms correctly, and USE them if you have to.
Good luck!

I am a 43 year old female. My mother in law came to stay with us Christmas before last for a month univited. While here she tried her hardest to piss me off. Each time she did, I ignored it. When she finaly decided to go home our good friend and neighbor happened to be going to her home town, over 2 hours away. He offered to give her a ride home since she didn't drive...it would save us a trip. I encouraged it and my husband made the trip with her and my neighbor for comfort sake. Every since she was here she is constantly making hurtful statements to me in front of anybody but my husband. I tell my husband and he defends her and says he did not hear it or I am mistaken. We had a long discussion about it again and this time he basically called me a liar and that he has known his mom alot longer than he has known me and she would not do that sort of thing. She constantly talks bad about every one of her 5 childrens spouses and about 3 of her 5 children. He does admit that because she talks bad about them to him. What can I do to stop this painful sitsuation without divorcing my husband? (link)

It's great to see a mature question for a change! They're all too rare here. Although of course you have my sympathy for your situation.
Here's the thing: you could VIDEOTAPE your mother-in-law at her worst, saying the nastiest things you can imagine, and the odds are still very good that your husband would not only not take your side, but blame YOU for violating his mother's privacy.
You see, the conflict between you and your M-I-L, unpleasant as it is, is still secondary. The REAL problem is the lack of trust between you and your husband. He made that crystal-clear.
And without trust, love dies.
If you want to save your marriage, you need to go to a marriage counselor. If he won't go with you, go alone. But you really need to go. This sort of problem doesn't go away by itself.
You have my sympathy. I wish you the best of luck.

Hey everyone... i'm a senior in high school, and i'm most likely going to go to San Francisco State University next year. Any advice for college? Anything at all would be great.. Dorm rooms, the people in general in college, academics, distractions.. anything!! My major is going to be Nutrition. Thanks in advance =] (link)
|
One thing I definitely noticed is that a LOT of people go kind of crazy once they get to college. They're living on their own for the first time, away from their parents, and they often do some really stupid things: binge drinking, all kinds of drugs, indiscriminate sex, and (particularly) blowing off classes.
All I can say is that I don't know a SINGLE college graduate who doesn't still have nightmares sometimes about missing class and flunking out. So have fun, but remember that your time at college is really precious; corny as it sounds, please get the most out of your education.
And stay safe.

Does anyone know what it is called when you can make your eyes blurry? I don't even know if anyone knows what I'm talking about. But I can make my eyes just go blurry whenever I want them to, and they don't even look different.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about, or what it's called then please tell me and help me out! (link)
| |
I can do that too, but I don't know if there's a medical term for it. It's just letting your eyes go out of focus. I thought everybody could do it!

I have a problem with people being jealous of me. I don't know why they are - I'm not extremely beautiful or wealthy. I'm just an above average looking girl with average intelligence. I don't have a bf either, so this makes their jealously all the more perplexing.
I have a part time job with a union, and can afford to live on my own. I have an appartment I rent, a car, and a lot of nice furniture. I own about 150 CD's and 70 DVD's.
I by no means am rich, but only have myself to look after. So I can afford to spend my paychecks on what I please. I had saved up a bit and just bought a new futon and recliner. That made some of my friends REALLY jealous.
This one friend of mine makes just as much money as me but says that most of his paychecks go towards paying credit card depts. I have never had a credit card so don't have this problem. My sister is also jealous of me because she owes money to student loan payments. I never went to college so don't have this problem. Some of my other friends don't have cars, and are always saying how lucky I am to have one. But they don't relize how much money I put into it. I just paid 400 to replace the breaks. I wish I could just enjoy what I have without people feeling jealous. I earned it. What can I do, and how can I stop people from envying me? (link)
|
You can't change how other people feel, or what they think. All you can do is think about your own behavior, and listen to yourself when you're with other people. It's possible (maybe) that there's something in the way you present yourself that makes other people feel insecure or jealous. If you notice that sort of behavior, then you can try to change it.
But it's also certainly possible - even probable - that you're not doing anything to provoke their jealousy. In which case, the only thing you can do is to try not to let their feelings bother you.
And by the way, you're very smart to avoid credit cards. Good for you!

My mind always fills dirty things about guys. I always fantasize about their penises like how big they have, shaved or un-shaved, fat or thin. Its about all men, young and old, known or unknown. Imagine when I talk to a man, my mind goes fantasizing about his penis, Is this sickness?
I am 15/F. (link)
|
Unless your thoughts get to the point of full-blown sexual obsession, it's not a sickness. It's basically normal.
If you find that you're staring uncontrollably at the crotch of every guy you meet, or if you can't sleep at all most nights because of what you're thinking, then it would probably be a good idea to talk to a therapist or counselor. They should be able to help.
But the odds are very good that you're just a normal teenager, with typical teen hormones. In which case, your thoughts will probably get less intense eventually.
Good luck!

Hi, it's the AntiVir person.
How do I turn the guard on? When I open it up, it says;
Service Status: Not loaded
File Action: Deny Access
Files to Scan: Use extensions list
File counter: 0
Last detection:
Detections: o
When I go into File, Activate AntiVir Guard isn't an option, it's just gray.
Any ideas? (link)
|
I never had that problem myself, but I did a little research and apparently some people need to uninstall, and then reinstall the software in order to have it work correctly.
So you should uninstall it - Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs - and then turn off you computer. Let it sit for at least 30 seconds. Then turn it back on and try installing again.
Good luck!

my name is mark im 19 and im a male ... im dating a girl we dated for 2 years on and off we broke up over this past summer and over the summer she did stuff thats bothering me now in our relationship she had sex w. a total of 3 guys multiable times and messed around w/ 3 other guys she told me everything b4 we got back together and it botheres me alot i dont know whwat to do i talked to her about it and shes there for me and all but i dont know what to do i need some advice the only reason im w/ her is because i really love her anyother girl i would tell leave me alone but i need something that will help over that break up i only messed around w/ 2 girls but we didnt have sex or ne thing like that i dont know what to do help me out please (link)
|
You had broken up. She was a free agent. So were you.
You could have had sex with a lot of girls during that time, but you didn't. But that's not her fault.
She did have sex, and it's natural for that to bother you. But after that, she decided that she wanted to be with YOU. I think that means something.
What it comes down to is this: she didn't cheat on you. You love her. She loves you. Everything else is in the past.
You can let the past ruin your future with her, or not. It's up to you.
If you find that you just can't stop thinking about it, then you're going to have to decide: would you be better off without her? Would it be worth it for you to talk to somebody, a therapist perhaps, to work out your feelings? Perhaps a couples therapist would be helpful, if only for a few sessions.
That might feel weird, or scary, but it sounds as if your relationship with her is good enough to make it worth doing.
I'd also suggest keeping yourself busy, both when you're alone and when you're with her. Pack your time with her with new, good memories. Avoid sitting around and obsessing over what she did. If you notice your mind getting into those patterns, get up, get busy, and DO something - anything. That's the best way to break a morbid train of thought.
Good luck!

ive got paint shop pro 8, when i upload a picture/image and try making a blend, its too small, where can i got to resize the images? (link)
|
I use a considerably older version of PSP, so this may not apply - but in my version, you can go to the Image menu and choose Resample. Shift-S does the same thing.
Oh, and you want to resample, not resize - particularly when you're reducing the image.
If you're enlarging the image much you won't be able to avoid blurriness, unfortunately.
I do recommend making a copy of the image BEFORE you resize it. That way, if you mess it up, you'll still have the original.
Good luck!

Hi,
My site doesn't load properly in firefox. Can anyone help me. (link)

You really need to give more information for anyone to give you a meaningful answer. HOW doesn't it load properly? What's it doing (or not doing)? Are you getting an error message?

(link)
|
I'm sorry, but you can't gain a meaningful amount of weight by tomorrow. It just isn't possible. Even if you crammed nothing but fat into your mouth for the next several hours, all you'd do would be to make yourself throw up again.
What you need to do is drink plenty of liquids - particularly water - and eat healthy foods, boring as that may sound. Vegetables. Fruits. Grains. Meat.
And it would be a really good idea to talk to your doctor about all this. She (or he) knows your personal health history, and can give you much more helpful advice and information than we can.

Dear Ruth,
Hi I got a problem and I was wondering if you could give me some advice.
I'm in a relationship for 2 years now with a married guy. I never asked him to do anything and to be honest I always had the hope that he will leave his wife one day. Well 6 weeks ago the army send him back to the states. Suddenly 2 weeks before he left he told his wife all about me and that he don’t want to be with her no more. So he ended up to go to Colorado to his next duty station by him self.
Well after he got the states we talked on the phone and talked every day on the Computer. He was different he rubbed old stuff in my face like 6 month ago I talked to people on the internet. The reason I did that was cause I really needed the attention what he couldn’t gave me because he still was living with his family in the same house and also made me believe for a while that he will never leave her. So I thought the only way to get over it is to keep my self busy or find someone who helps me get over it. I don’t know why I did that because I love him a lot and I would do anything to make this work me and him. Well like I said he rubbed in my face all the time and said he don’t need a girl who talked to other guys cause if I would love him I would never done that. I don’t know why he brought this up cause we talked about it and I told him why I did it and everything was alright again. I mean I even told him everything.
Anyways 2 weeks ago I went to the states to visit him and it shocked me that was not the guy I met and knew for 2 years. He was distance sometimes really quiet and it seamed he was thinking a lot. I was planning to stay 3 weeks there after 2 weeks he wanted me to go back home cause he said he needed time to think. I did understood it cause I know he never been by himself after he left her. There still lived at the same house for 2 weeks and she was yelling at him all the time. So I thought he needs to be by himself to start working at the stuff what happened the last few weeks.
I got back to Germany did not hear a week from him. Yesterday we talked on the phone again. He said he don’t care about anyone no more, he got no feelings for no one and he just want to be left alone. I was like ok if you telling me you don’t care about me no more I guess I wont care no more neither and hanged up. I was really said and hurt that he said this after all we went threw. I also was mad that I went to the states for a jack ass like that. Today I called him again I know it was wrong but I couldn’t believe what he told me the day before. Well the talked normal until he started the internet thing again. We pushed each other that
far that I told him everything I felt. I said that he is a liar for telling me 2 years that he loves me and never want to lose me. That I cant believe he told me before he left that he loves me and then 4 weeks later he don’t have any feelings for me anymore. You can’t stop loving someone in a short time like that. He said that I should start to understand that we will never be like we used to be and there is NO us in the further I can be his friend and if I cant respect that then we should stop talking and break it off all the way. I should get the prcture out of my heat that me and Him are married and have a life together. I denied that I had a picture like he thinks made up. He wants to be single the rest of his life and he doesn’t need that shit no more. He DID love that’s how he ended it.
I don’t know what to think I'm really confused we really went threw a lot of problems in those 2 years and he also used to be my best friend all that is gone. I can’t believe he just can turn his feelings off like that. I don’t believe him that he wants me to find an other Boyfriend I just cant. Maybe I’m the dumb one here and just can’t take it that he dumped me, but I can’t understand why he is acting like this. He always was honest to me and never said he will leave his wife until he actually did and I think that surprised him too. He told me that he never thought he was able to tell her about me. He told me about his problems with her and that he doesn’t love her no more but ever made me any hopes. So I know he did not just played with me for 2 years. I don’t know what to do this is not the guy I used to know.
Please help and tell me what to too. Right now I feel like I’m falling and falling and cant never get up again. I’m so hurt that I can’t even walk or think about anything else. I don know what to do no more. Please help me.
If there is anything else you want to know let me know. Sorry about my English but I’m German and I’m really up sad and cant thing straight.
Thanks Jasmin

Is it possible that he's suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder? Has he been in combat or a high-stress situation, particularly in the past couple of years? The behavior change that you described seems unusual, so I have to wonder if there's some cause.
In any case, right now you you're in pain, and you need help - more help than you're going to find online. If you have friends or family, spend time with them. Talk to them, if you're comfortable with that. If you have a religious counsellor of some kind, speak to her or him. It would also be a very good idea to speak to a mental health professional, since you're clearly suffering.
DON'T try to start a new romantic relationship with anyone. At this stage, you'll only hurt yourself and other people. You need to take time out from romance and love, and give yourself time to heal; time to find yourself again.
I recommend getting busy. Take a class, or several classes. Learn something new. Volunteer at a hospital or nursing home or school. The more active you are, the less time you'll have to think about your pain.
And in time, the pain will become less.
I don't know what will happen with you and this man. No one here can really know. But I can certainly tell you that no matter WHAT happens, you need to take care of yourself right now - and to get whatever help you can.
I wish you the best of luck.

alright how do you make a link, but instead of the .com showing up, make it say like "My pictures" or "click"
kthnx (link)
|
If I understand you correctly, you want the HTML to make a link.
Let's say you want to make a link to Google (which is at http://www.google.com), but you want it to say "Search here". Here's how you would do that:
Argh. The site doesn't like me to use HTML in my column. And it didn't like parentheses, either. That makes this hard. This is my third attempt at an answer, and I'm going to put extra spaces inside each bracket. Just remove them, and the code will work.
I hope this works - if it doesn't, I'm just going to give up.
< A HREF="http://www.google.com" >Search here< /A >
I hope you're able to read this; as far as I know, HTML shouldn't render in answers. If it doesn't work, I'll fix it.
Another tip: if you wanted the clicked link to open in a NEW window, you'd do this:
< A HREF="http://www.google.com" target="new" >Search here< /A >
If a semicolon appears in the second example, that's an error; for some reason Advicenators keeps inserting a semicolon. I don't know why.
Good luck!

Hey, I went to that free-av thing. When I go to downloads, I'm sort of hit with about 5 things to download.
Which do I select? (link)
|
The blue "Download" option on the bar at the top-middle of the page takes you to the free classic edition download. Here's a link that takes you there: http://www.free-av.com/antivirus/allinonen.html
Just pick a mirror site to download from (might as well try #1 first), download it, and run it.

Hey, I'm a size 32A and I'm 17 years old. Do you think there is any chance at all of them getting any bigger? (link)
|
It's certainly possible, but they probably won't grow a lot more - you'll never be a DD, unless you gain 100 pounds.
If you go on birth control pills, that might increase your bust size a bit. Pregnancy also has that effect, even more so, but after the pregnancy gravity often takes a toll - particularly if you breastfeed.
Surgery is also an option, of course. But I can assure you that there are millions of men (and many women, if that's your interest) who find small breasts extremely attractive, more attractive than large ones. There are even magazines and movies that cater to that particular taste.
It's your body. It's the only one you'll ever have. You'll be happiest if you can find a way to appreciate it, to appreciate your own unique beauty.
Good luck!

I know that, I have definately learned my lesson, that was the first time! So you think that there is a possibility that I can be pregnant? (link)
|
I'm only an L1, so I don't know who you are. I've responded to three different questions from girls who were worried that they might be pregnant. So I'm not sure which one you are.
If you're this one, though ( http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=411140 ), then simply going by the fact that he was inside you and neither of you was using birth control, yes, it's definitely possible. If you're one of the other two girls - the one in the hot tub or the one who dry-humped - then the odds are virtually zero.
I'll assume you're the one who's most at risk.
Try not to panic. First, the pains you described may not mean anything - the other two girls had pains too, and they're almost certainly imaginary. There are other physical signs of pregnancy, of coure, but since I don't know how long it has been since the event, I don't know what signs you might reasonably look for.
But you need to know. If you're within 72 hours and you know you don't want the baby, RUSH to get the morning-after pill.
There are home pregnancy tests that are cheap and can give you results quite early in the pregnancy.
And talk to your OB/GYN as soon as possible. She can give you answers that no one else can - certainly no one here!
Just to repeat, while it's certainly POSSIBLE that you're pregnant, you also might not be. Find out, so you can decide what to do next. It's better to KNOW than to stay up all night worrying.
Good luck!
