First the videos will need to be on your computer. If they are on a DVD, you might want to find a DVD ripper that will put it onto your computer as a file. Once you have those files, or any other kind of video files, you will need to format them into what the iPod plays it in: .mp4

This is the one I found most useful and free:

Download the program.
Browse through any videos on your computer you want to format.
Click on Transcode Video and find the folder that has the videos you want to convert into iPod format.
Once you do that, the reformatted videos will appear in the folder you saved videora under.

Ex: C:/Program Files/Videora/Videos...etc.

Once you find it just open it up with iTunes, plug in your iPod (and depending on how you have it set up) load the videos on to it and you're good to go. Hope that helped and good luck - drop one in my inbox if you have any other questions.

I agree with her answer - you should wait. It will be worth it. I mean think about it - if history repeats himself after you kiss him, do you think it would have been worth it in the first place?

If you don't like him then let him know and make it clear to him. You shouldn't lead him on or anything just for a kiss - because after that then what? things would just fall apart anyways. But sort out your feelings and if you don't like the guy, then wait, but don't go for it just for the kiss. Hope that helped and good luck.

Personally shoulder length and longer, so I guess long hair.

I don't like to see makeup on a girls in the first place, so I'll go with the first one.

Here's what I've been taught from a very useful book:

" Why does the Church make such a big deal out of sex belonging only in marriage? To answer that question, we need to look at how God made the act of sexual intercourse different for humans than for any other species. Simply stated, God made sex for three purposes:

Sex creates new life
Sex expresses loving union
Sex brings us joy and pleasure

It is important to keep all three purposes in mind, because they cannot be separated from one another; they are integrated - parts of the whole picture. If only one or two of these is present, God's plan is derailed...

...Dating is a temporary arrangement - a testing ground for relationships. Even being engaged is not quite permanent. Thus neither a dating relationship nor being engaged provides the commitment necessary for sexual intercourse. But Christian marriage does. It is the only relationship that ensures that all three aspects of sex are integrated, woven into the minds, bodies, and spiritualities of the couple."


So to sum that up into english, thats basically stating that sex is a gift from God - which serves three purposes which can only be carried out after marriage. So I hope that helped, and if you want a better/more in depth answer on that or any other questions about rules/regulations for being Catholic, then feel free to send me on in my inbox.

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. You should ask yourself something: did/do I want what is best for him...or was I in the relationship just for me.

If you do want what is best for him [which I'm not saying is not you], then you kind of gave him just that. If he was feeling low, and you brought him back up, then you did some good right?

I don't think he was intentionally using you. Did he need/use your help - yes. Is that bad? Of course not. If you want to be upset that he's going out with your best friend, then I guess you could be. You shouldn't be upset or think that it's because of you he's not going out with you.

You should try to let it go and move on, because think about it - what if his depression got worse? Would you rather that happen, then have him and other people blame you for making it worse or not helping? In my eyes you helped him a great deal, and shouldn't be too upset over the outcome. Better that then an attempted suicide, you know? Well anyways hope that helped and good luck.

Is it weird if you stay with your first love forever? Not at all.

Is it likely to happen? Unfortunately, the chances are very, very low.

Possible? Yes.

Impossible? No.

Should you give up hope anyways? Of course not, go for it. You shouldn't let other people make you think that your relationship won't work out - because they aren't a part of it. Hope that helped and good luck.

Probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but you need to sit him down and tell him everything you just wrote.

If you don't want him to go out with you because he feels bad for you or doesn't want to hurt your feelings - let him know! Yes its true that he might be for those reasons and then call it off, but would you rather go into it and then find out later it was out of pity?

So first let him know how you feel about this whole situation, and ask him if he's doing it for the reasons you listed. Don't stress yourself over it either. Try to relax and be confident in yourself. And if he doesn't really want to go with you, that does not make you a bad person. Hope that helped and good luck.

Well you need to talk to him first. Tell him what? Exactly how you felt before you broke up, and right now. If you want him to take your feelings into consideration, you have to tell him that too.

Make it clear to him what it is you want from this relationship - to get out. Do you want to keep the friendship without the relationship? Let him know that. Find out why it is he felt upset or does or anything. For this to work you both need to communicate.

If you are going to stay in the relationship, it should be because you seriously care for him, and not because you felt bad about something you did to him. I know, it sounds a bit harsh, but if you stay with him or he stays with you just because either of you felt hurt, guilty, or upset, then the relationship won't last long because those feelings are temporary.

So talk to him, let him know how you feel, find out how he feels, and make things clear between the two of you. If you still choose to break up the relationship, then make it clear to him also. Don't let guilt be the deciding factor on whether or not the relationship breaks or not. Hope that helped and good luck.

Thanks for leaving one in my inbox, feel free to do so again.

You need to tell somebody right away - an adult. School principal, guidance counselor, other relatives, whoever knows her. If you can, get her close friends involved with this too - inform them about the situation and ask them to do the best they can to talk her out of it. If you can, try to spend enough time with her so that you know what is causing her problems. Try to be there for her and always be willing to listen. Even though you said you think the mom wouldn't be much of a help, you should still tell her and her dad about your concerns. I don't mean to put you down or anything, but in these kinds of situations, you [as in the friend that is willing to help the victim out] is usually unable to provide the help they need...so I would suggest parents, older relatives, conselors, doctors, etc. I mean yes, do as much as you can to help, but don't expect to make it go away all by yourself - you and her will both need help with that. Hope that helped and good luck.

I don't mean to be a judge on this, but yes it does seem like you are pushing things to roughly.

From experience: in a long-distance relationship, you need to make the most of your time you spend together in person. That means you need to put in as much effort as you can to having a good time and avoiding a bad moment or argument.

It's natural to think that "he might find someone else in college". But chances are, after all you've been through to begin with, he wouldn't have to. If you let those thoughts interfere with your feelings for him then that might make things worse.

If you have doubts about him or the relationship, then take my advice: say something right away! I mean it. Don't let your relationship get worse with arguments...or by expecing/thinking the worst of him, yourself, or the both of you. Keep a positive attitude with things and really - for a relationship to work you need to communicate and trust each other (which I'm sure you already knew).

So what if you don't see each other as often as you'd like. Keep in touch. Call each other if you can. E-mail or instant message each other to talk about anything and everything if you don't already.

I think you should really try to work on being open with him, letting him be open with you (be there to listen), ask for and earn his full trust, and give him your trust. Even if you don't get to see each other as much, if you make those moments a blast then things will probably go well and get better. Hope that helped and good luck.

Be respectful and polite. When you meet them, say Hi ___, how are you. It may seem obvious, but sometimes people just say hi and skip the second part. Try to say yes instead of yeah. If they ask how you are: I'm ___, thank you how are you. Most of this seems very common and obvious, but sometimes people skip right over it. Really, keeping things courteous and respectful will get you a lot of points. Also, it really is up to you, but I would suggest dressing presentable. No that does not mean a business outfit, but something neat and nice, not sloppy and all over the place or too revealing. Again - its obvious but often times missed: say please and thank you. So if you remember those obvious (yet sometimes overlooked) simple things, you'll do fine. Hope that helped and good luck.

Hmm, as some have said already, I would strongly suggest against it. Common sense - childhood is when you grown the most, and even teenage years. So to restrict or limit the amount or type of food a child has is not a good idea. Kids really do need a lot of everything, carbs, protien, calcium, fats, etc. Hope that helped.

Stackable shelves or drawer dividers. Try to keep the same of everything (clothes, shoes, plates, etc) in or around the same place. Try to rearrange things like desks, tables, chairs or anything to make room for a small plastic cabinet or bin. If you have big furniture, try putting it close together if it isn't already. Make sure that anything that can be moved against to the wall like tables or drawers are. But try those stackable see-through type sheleves/drawers. Hope that helped and good luck.

"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird. It never hurts any of us or steals food, but all it does is sing music for us."

So basically innocent people who should not be hurt or killed that don't hurt other people or things.

Hey relax! Losing weight does take time - I know you didn't want to hear that. But seriously, as dreadful as it may sound, losing weight correctly, safely, and in a healthy way will have a lot more benefits, short-term and long-term.

Don't concern yourself with all of this on a daily basis. Yes, watch what you eat every day, but don't weigh yourself or measure or anything like that on a daily basis. At most you should check once a week. If you really want to see results or a change, then wait two weeks to check. For it to actually work as best as possible, you shouldn't stress out over it or worry yourself about if its working or not. More likely than not it is working and will.

Do not try to take the weight off as fast as possible. Two reasons: you could do serious damage or get hurt...and if you do or don't you can just as easily put the weight back on quickly. So yes actually taking your time with it and letting things work naturally will have its benefits and is the best way to go about it. If you do the work the right way, then you will most likely achieve your goal. So yeah, don't think about it so much, keep up the work, and don't rush things. Hope that helped and good luck.

Internet! It's a big place, as boring as it may sound, there is actually a lot of fun things to do on it. One favorite of mine is watching funny videos. Ebaums, albino blacksheep, stupid videos, the kid from brooklyn...those are all pretty good websites. Type them in google to get the exact web address if you are interested. Also, I think google has a video section where you can run a search and find funny videos by topic.

There are a lot of gaming ones too. iSketch, Candystand, Nabiscoworld, Games.com, Popcap, Pogo, freearcade.com. If you like games, there are plenty (some are addictive) that you could play and kill some time.

But if internet isn't your thing, watch a movie or two. If you can't go out to rent a new-release, look for something at home. Even if its by yourself - more popcorn for you.

Paint or color. Yes I know it sounds childish, but if its something you like to do, time flys when you get into it. Try copying a picture or painting you see, or draw some of your own scenery - let your imagination run wild.

Soduku! Sorry if you aren't into those puzzles or don't know how to do them, but they are easy to learn and addictive. I know - you think puzzle and that registers boring and stupid. This one isn't if you havn't played it yet. http://www.sudoku.com/ There is a trial version you can download to print out puzzles or play them on the computer.

If you would prefer to have some kind of interaction with people, try chatrooms or forums. You could get some really interesting conversations just by asking a few questions: maybe start up some kind of debate. Hope that helped and good luck.

Call them up! Get in touch one way or another to find out what they are doing or if they are still on for what you had planned. It could be they forgot, or just got busy, or something else.

If you can't get in touch or don't want to contact them, then ask them about their break when you get back on Monday. Say that you would have liked to have done the things you planned or anything else - but that there's always next time.

To not be so bored...up to you really. Call somebody else up or a bunch of people to have a small get together, see a movie, go to the mall, etc...whatever it is you like to do. If you can't do anything with anyone else, you could try video games (not sure if you like them, sorry if you don't). Go on the internet and find something you can do, there are plenty:
isketch.net
candystand.com
nabiscoworld.com
If you don't like games find places to chat or talk about things or watch music videos. Hope that helped and good luck.

it was definately from weight lifting
trust me, i'm an expert on this and pretty much everything else in life. if u ever need a good boyfriend let me know =)

Hmm...Talk to the guy. Tell him everything you just wrote up there, really all of it. Let him know that you would be willing to try again and do better and everything. Ask him to forgive you and give you another chance.

Now it could just be that he is saying that to... give into pressure from other people; he was unsure of the relationship to begin with; gradually lost interest and is using that as an excuse to not make him look like the bad one; he's interested in somebody else, etc. I don't know which one it could be, but you need to talk to him and find out.

So see whats up. Let him know how you feel and ask him how he feels, and be honest. If it doesn't seem like he will give you another chance, then before going after somebody else you should try to get over what happened and him and all of that. I know it is rough and not easy, but if you were to rush yourself into another relationship, then it might just lead to conflicting emotions. Hope that helped and good luck.

I really like giving advice, so thats why I have a column here. I've been inactive for a long time, but I'm back and will do my best to catch up. Advicenators is a great site and it is what we make it. Having my own advice column helped me learn a lot of new things, even about myself, while giving me the chance to help others along the way. Thanks.
