About The_MoUsY_spell_checker

I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.

I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.

By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

did not know what to put under. So, is it wierd, common, or possible at all for women that are pregnant, or after they have the baby, and their breasts are filled up with milk, for their husband to suck on their breasts to?
Maybe as a turn on?

It is definitely possible (no reason why it isn't), and there are people who do it. It's called milk fetishism. Search for it on Wikipedia if you want more information.

arrite i have really small boobs, i was wondering if anyone knew how to naturally make them grow, if thats even possible. i know that victorias secret used to sell this cream that would just soak into your skin and it would enhance them, well they discontinued it and i was wondering if theres anything like that. im not looking for pills or anything that my parents might have to be envolved with. please help :]

Such creams that are supposed to help your breasts grow are not scientifically proven to work.

One thing that will definitely make your breasts bigger is weight gain. Obviously, this isn't a good idea (unless you happen to be underweight).

Breast size is mainly determined by genetics. If the other women in your family have small breasts, chances are that you are likely to have small breasts too.

I don't know how old you are, but since you said you don't want your parents to be involved, I thought I'll just mention this: Remember that your body does not finish developing at least until your late teens (the exact age depends on when you started puberty).

Do try your best to have a balanced diet and sleep well. Your body needs to be healthy to develop properly.

While there are no reliable methods to make your breasts bigger, there are many ways to make them look bigger. You can wear a padded or push-up bra.
Here's a page on how to dress to flatter your figure.

these are expensive. $40 for 7 days! i hear they work but still.. can they undo the damage of not not teeth that have touched coffee/tea/teeth-staining beverages but years of bad/barely brushing teeth that have become yellowed? anyone know?

Whitening strips work by chemical bleaching. They will at least lighten coffee /tea stains. (Depending on how bad the stains are, the whitening strips may or may not be able to completely remove the stains, but the effect should be significant.)

Do remember that it is still important to brush your teeth properly though, because whitening products don't prevent cavities and gum disease.

What rhymes with jewels?

Depending on your pronunciation of the word, the words listed on one of the following pages should rhyme with "jewels".

If I texted someone from another area code/state, would that cost more even though I have a texting plan? And would that number show up on the bill?

This depends on your carrier. Check its website for the plans. (You might want to mention what plan you're using as additional information to your question. That way, if someone who happens to be using the same plan sees the question, he or she can tell you for sure what the case is for your plan.)

For example, as far as I know, on my plan, all texts cost the same regardless of the target number, even if it's someone in a different country, but this might not be the same for you.

The numbers that you have texted are likely to show up on the bill, but again, this depends on the carrier.

16/f..i broke up with my boyfriend a week ago..and i got over him, he's a jerk and all he wanted was sex..
now he's trying to make me jealous by listing all the possible girls and "omg so many girls asked me out/hooked up with me"

Just ignore him. Look, you're saying yourself that he's an idiot. His attitude just shows his lack of respect for girls. Don't waste your time. Stay away from him.

A couple of days ago, I asked a question about how to get youtube songs on an iPod. And someone said something about zamzar. Well, my only problem is, I don't quite know what the URL is. Can someone please tell me where the URL is on youtube? thanks!

Go to the page for the video you want and look at the source code for a URL that starts with youtube.com/get_video?video_id=(the bunch of letters and numbers at the end of the page's URL)

It should end with &t=(another bunch of letters and numbers). That's the URL you need.

If you use Firefox, you can use UnPlug to make this easier. You can download that here: http://unplug.mozdev.org/

what can cause flatulence and how do you treat it?

Flatulence is caused by the natural movement of the intestines. Foods high in fibre (such as beans and sweet potatoes) can increase the occurrence of flatulence, so temporarily avoid these foods and see if it's any better. Also, try not to eat too much at once, and eat at regular times. (That is, don't go hungry for too long if you can help it.)

If the situation does not improve, it can be a sign of more serious digestive system problems, and you would be better off getting medical help from a professional.

I'm thinking of doing the Billabong contest, but I don't know what humanitarian concepts are.. a little help here please?

http://www.zumiez.com/sites/billabong/guidelines.htm

thats the website with the contest.. also is it for designing a surfboard with the tile? and when they say in the guidelines to put your name, title, and contact info.. like do they mean ON the tile? or in the email you send to them? thanks. :)

14/f

Humanitarian concepts would be those related to helping people and improving other people's lives. So, for example, charities would be "humanitarian".

If that is not clear, perhaps a dictionary definition would be useful here:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=humanitarian

The guidelines say that "the file" must be labelled with your information. Since you will be sending an image of your artwork, it would probably go on the actual image file (maybe in the file name). It would make sense to include the information in the email too.

Good luck with the contest!

on my youtube I have like a billion favorites
how do I delete some of them?
Thanks?:)

Go to the YouTube homepage, click the "My Favourites" link, and you should see a list of videos that you have added as favourites. Look for the videos that you no longer want on the list, and click the "Remove Video" button next to them. You can also check the checkboxes next to the videos and click the "Remove Videos" button at the top or bottom of the list to remove multiple videos at once.

My boyfriend wanted me to cross stitch a "Dark Chao" but I'm not sure which picture to use. Is there different kinds? He said he wanted me to make him swimming because he thinks it looks cute.

I remember he had a background that had something like this on it, those colors.. http://chao.hippotank.com/sa2/images/evolution/chaos/devil.jpg

But I'm just not really sure if he wants that one...

He mentioned this months ago and I can't ask him because I want it to be a surprise for Valentines Day.

That looks right for a Dark Chao.

If you want more pictures, click the search button.

I don't think there are any swimming ones available though. There might be some in other poses that you can use to help make a swimming one.

Alright, so I'm a junior this year in high school, and I really want to study at an out of country college; like the University of Sydney,AU. Well there's this problem..in Australia, they apparently have a whole different school system. Something about taking a prep. course or attending college before going to a university(colleges and universities are different I guess). Does anyone know if I can go straight to that University without talking certain prep. courses or attending certain colleges?? Please help, I really need to know.

Thanks a lot, and sorry it's so long/confusing.

Here in Australia, "college" usually refers to a residential college, which is where you live if you want to live on campus. "University" refers to the institution itself, and that includes what Americans usually call "college".

If it's the University of Sydney that you want to go to, here's their page for international students.

http://www.usyd.edu.au/fstudent/international/undergrad/apply/qualif.shtml

It has information on the international secondary qualifications that it recognises. Scroll all the way down if you're in the USA. There's also a link to the page for a foundation programme if you don't meet the requirement.

Ok this may be a stupid question but how do you turn off the pop up blocker? And will that cause virus things to ruin my computer? Because I want to IM and it is saying I have it blocked so how do I unblock it with it still being protected against viruses?

To add to the other answer, you can also allow pop-ups from specific sites only, so that your IM site can pop-up windows but other sites that you don't trust can't.

In Firefox: Tools > Options > click the "Exceptions" button next to "Block pop-up windows", type the URL of the IM site in the box, and click "Allow".

In Internet Explorer: Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > click the "Settings" button under "Pop-up Blocker", type the URL of the IM site in the box, and click "Add".

If you use another browser, check the help files, or let us know by adding information to your question.

Is there a way to hide the links the Facebook apps on your page? Like on the left side of your profile under your profile pic. I'm really getting tired of my friend copying everything I'm doing.... Is there a way so I can hide all the links to the apps on my profile, but still keep the apps on there?

Click the "Applications" link on the left of any Facebook page, look for the appropriate application on the list, click the "Edit Settings" link next to it, uncheck the box next to "Profile Links", and click "Save".

if i deleted a application box on my facebook profile can i get it to show up on my layout again?

i deleted my albums a while ago, and i would like them to show up again.

If you just removed the box from your profile, you can make it show up again by clicking the "Applications" link on the left (underneath the search bar), then "Edit Settings" for that application, and then in the drop-down box labeled "Profile", choose the setting according to your preference of who should be able to see it.

If you actually removed the application, you'll have to add it again.

Have you guys heard if you keep something plugged in but you're not using it, it still wastes electricity. Like if you have a phone charger plugged in, you're still wasting the electricity. IS IT TRUE?

:)!

Yes, it's true. Phone chargers usually have voltage transformers in them, and they draw electricity even when you're not using them. If you have one in a quiet place, you might be able to hear it making a buzzing sound.

Just switch off the power point when you're not using it if you can't be bothered to unplug your charger and put it away each time.

is that normal havin period like Nov 25 then dec 25? on 3 or 4 day period?

Yes. Having a period roughly once a month is as "normal" as possible. As long as it doesn't last for more than a week at a time, it's fine.

k. 15/f i have heard that some of my friends have their dogs like their va jay jays. how bad is this for u? i mean. isnt a dogs mouth cleaner than a humans? so isnt it cleaner if a dog eats u out and not a guy?

Dogs' mouths contain a lot of bacteria too. This is especially true if the dogs are allowed to play outdoors.

Also, there's always the risk that the dog might bite.

Okay, so I'm going to Sydney in a few months and I'm going on a plan with a Hip Top before then, so I can use it in Sydney (I live in Australia, so it's not like I'm going overseas)

Anywhoo, my question is...

Do you have to be near or using a wireless internet connection to get on MSN and all of it's features?

Thanks :)

As far as I can tell from Telstra's site, the HipTop connects to the Internet through a mobile Internet connection (and not Wi-Fi), so you can use MSN at any place that has mobile phone reception.

but i try to look for the file and its not there

First of all, check your bulk / spam folders to make sure it's not sent there by any filters that you may have.

How long has it been after you uploaded a file for conversion? The site's FAQ says that a file conversion can take up to an hour. If it has been more than an hour, email support@zamzar.com for help or try again.
