You can't have music on your column but you won't be banned. To get a new background on your column, right click on a background and go to "Properties" and then copy the adress URL. Then you go to your Column Settings and paste it into the "Page Background Image (URL)" section and then click on "Submit Colors" and then you're done. Hope I helped :)

I really like this guy...he knows now and i hate it! I like him a lot though! What do i do???

Well, does he like you? Why don't you talk to him and ask him how he felt about when he found out that you liked him? Since he said that you were really cool but he doesn't like you, start talking to him more and start flirting with him. Don't avoid him, just because he found out that he likes you. It's a good thing that he thinks you're cool because he can then hang out with you if you asked him. Once he gets to know you better, he will then maybe develop feelings for you. Hope I helped :)

I'm British and have no idea about the American schooling age.
Please can someone tell me how old juniors, sophomores, seniors and freshmen are so I can relate to some of the questions being asked. Thanks in advance.

Well it depends if a student has stayed back or missed the cut off date. If you are a freshman, you are supposed to be 14 or 15; if you are a sophomore, you are supposed to be 15 or 16; if you are a junior, you are supposed to be 16 or 17; and if you are a senior, you are supposed to 17 or 18. Every school is different. Hope I helped :)

Okay so here is the deal, I think I like this kid in my class but I have been trying to make him say that he likes me because I am like way to shy just to ask him because this is my first ever true crush and I am like really sure he likes me back but I am not quite sure.So how do I either ask him if he likes me or figure out if he likes me before telling him I like him?And do not say ask a friend to ask him because I am the shy and mean bad girl type that has trouble making friends!Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will rate fives to anyone who will give me a helpful answer!

To ask this guy if he likes you, just go up to him and just say: "Hey, lately, I've been getting the vibe that you like me. Do you?" Just say something like that. You can also start flirting with him but just don't go too far so people won't start sayings. Just be friendly and nice with this guy and just talk to him. In no time, you won't be shy anymore and you will be able to tell this guy how you feel. Hope I helped :)

Hi guys,
Me and my husband have just moved into a new house...well, I say new, but it's actually ANCIENT. So ancient that we have no heating whatsoever!! The place was so expensive though that we can't afford to install heating for at least another year. The windows and doorways are all draughty too. So, my question is, as it is so cold at the moment, any tips of keeping warm other than the obvious 'put on another jumper'?

To keep yourself warm in your house, you can light your fire place or oven, if you have one. You can dress yourself with warmer clothing such as thick sweatshirts, socks, mittens, etc. At night, you can plug a few of those electrical heaters and sleep with more than one blanket. Body heat also keeps yourself warm so just stay close to your husband a lot. There are other ways to keep yourself warm, but those are just some. Hope I helped :)

Why do they sell hot dogs in packs of 10 and buns in packs of 8?
I mean, whats the deal with that?

Wow, I just noticed that. I don't know why it's like this but maybe it has to do with the weight or quantity of something? I really don't know. I know it's strange but I'm not the person who packages them, sorry.

While I was dating another guy, I told my ex-boyfriend I loved him. He said he loved me. I broke up with the other guy just yesterday. My friend told me that she heard my ex-boyfriend say that he doesn't want us to stop being friends if we go out again. My question is "Do you think my ex-boyfriend will ask me out."

If he told you that he loves you and that he didn't want to stop being friends if you two ever go out again, then there is a possibility that he may ask you out again. "If we go out again" is another sign that he may ask you out. He probably will ask you out eventually, but not right now or when he's ready. Hope I helped :)

well theres this girl that i have gone out with before and she broke up with me and now she likes me again but she has brokin my heart more than once should i ask her out?

If she has broken your heart more than once, then you shouldn't go out with her again because you are running into a risk where she may break your heart again. If you think she won't do it again and if you like her, by all means, ask her out. Just think before you do anything.

If you have one of those mini shops in your mall where they sell purses, you can get one there. You can also get them at stores where they sell knock offs.

The "Aviator" is a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio about an aviator who is rich and so on. An aviator is someone who operates a plane (a pilot). This someone was probably talking about the movie. Hope I helped :)

Ok, this summer my best friend and I had a fight and it ended out friendship. (it was a bitter ending, we havent spoken to eachother since) Anyways, everyday at school, she doesnt talk to me and her friend told me that she hated me. The thing is, I dont hate her back, and I wish she wouldnt hate me. I want her to know that I still care about her even though we aren't friends, and I want to see how she is doing. So I found her livejournal link and do you think i should leave a comment? What should I say?

Yes, you should leave a comment in her journal. Since you didn't tell us why you two fought, in your comment, tell her that you are sorry for whatever you. Even if you didn't do anything, still say you are sorry, because she may think that you started the fight. Also say that you still want to be friends with her and that you don't want her to be an enemy to you. Say something like that. Hope I helped :)

I have seen many different ones, liek the one with the alphabet going down and you fill in [A]ge___ anyone heard of those? If anyoen has some or knows where to find one let me know!! Please and thanks.

Most people come up with their own information like that but you can find those "About Me" things at: http://www.hellz-angelz.cjb.net. I'm not sure if that site has them still but if they don't, just make up your own. Hope I helped :)

when it comes to tryin to get a guy...how do know when ur tryin too hard, or not hard enuff.Or wen u should give up...??

When it comes to trying to get a guy, you know when you are trying to hard when you actually know you are by catching yourself always trying to be around him and actually stalking him and knowing where he is all the time. You know when you aren't trying hard enough when you don't talk to him or do anything that will make it seem that you are trying to get him. You should give up when you know that you will never get him. Hope I helped :)

A couple of weeks ago I got caught smoking pot on school grounds. and Now I really regret it. Its going to fuck up everything and I completely lost the trust
of my parents. Is there anyway I could get their trust pack. Thanks
XxBrookexX

Getting your parent's trust back will take a long, very long time. It will be hard but you will, trust me. Start showing your parents that you are responsible by cleaning up after yourself, babysitting your siblings, cleaning around the house, doing your homework when you get home, and all that stuff. Try not to do anything bad that will ruin this. Hope I helped :)

hi i live in michigan and over spring break my best friend and I are going to los aggeles, california! we're realllllly excited any everything but we're worried bcuz some of our friends are jealous and we don't want them to feel bad. what should we do?

thanks

If you and your best friend don't want them to feel bad, why don't you ask them to come along? If you don't want to do that, you can buy them something when you go to California. Just tell your friends that you and your best friend have planned this for a long time. Don't worry, your friends will get over this. Hope I helped :)

If you read the label on your Coke bottle, it'll explain everything like where you have to call and where you have to send the cap. Once you read it, you will get your prize if you follow the instructions. Hope I helped :)

The reason this error message pops up is because there is a bot in the chat that tells you how many people are in it. When it updates information to Advicenators, sometimes this message shows up. There is nothing you can really do; you can only ignore it and refresh your page. Hope I helped :)

Does anyone know the AIM bot that you can send messages to people that are offline.

Smarterchild is the robot and you just need to type in a few things but I forget what you have to type. My friend told me it's on a list the robot gives you. Hope I helped :)

Okay, so. I am getting new clothes and I really want to shop at Hollister. My mom will probably give me around $150 and I dont think thats enough. So I'm going to be saving up money...so I want an idea of how much money their shirts, jeans, jackets are. I'll rate 5's.

Hollister's shirts range from $17.50 to about $25.00, their jeans cost about $40.00, and their jackets cost around $50.00, depending on what kind you get. Just go to Hollister's website and click on "Bettys" and browse through all their clothing and check out the prices: http://www.hollisterco.com. Hope I helped :)

ok i have a problem, i like this senior at my school ALOT!!! not only do i see him at school, but i swim with him 8 times a week. im only a sophmore, but i like him so much. we talk all the time and he hugs me and he always calls me his fav. he doesnt have a gf and hes only kissed a person once. hes really extremly smart, and i am really sad that he is leaving...i really dont know what to do about the situation...please help!

Aww, you definitely need to talk to this guy and tell him how you feel! It sounds like he likes you too, since he always talks to you and hugs you and calls you his favorite. Talk to him before you lose the chance of being with him before he leaves. Hope I helped :)
