What there to say about me? I'm 27 and a graduate of UCSD. Throughout my life most of my close friends have been girls so I have a unique perspective on relationships and sex. I know a lot about computers as well as random stuff in general. Feel free to ask me anything and I'll answer it to the best of my knowledge.

so for the iphone 3g im getting it really soon. but ive been reading that the iphone is cheap but the plan is really high. i already have a plan on at&t and plan on just replacing my old phone with the iphone. how much do you think that would cost to do that? (link)
it doesnt matter if you are replacing or are a new customer, actually, sometimes its cheaper to be a new customer. the unlimited data plan at att is $15 a month, im guessing that would work for the iphone as well.


can i use an AT&T sim card in a motorola rokr e8 from tmobile? if yes, how? (link)
you can go to a third party cell phone store and get the phone unlocked, it shouldnt be too expensive


I just called t-mobile and asked them if they had this phone available, and of course, they don't. But wasn't there some huge story on the news last year about some high school kid breaking some code on the iphone after 40 something hours of trying, that enables you to activate the phone on any phone company you want? So is there anything t-mobile isn't telling me? (link)
no. you asked them if they had the phone, they said no. you can unlock any cell phone that uses sim chips to be able to accept sim chips from other companies. however, unlocking a cell phone causes problems, especially with an iphone. it will void the warranty, and it will mean you cant download any apple updates. you also wont be able to send it in for a new battery, which as i am told is required often enough. iphones are exclusive to ATT, however, all companies have been releasing competing phones. you can use this phone finder to highlight all the features you want, http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/finder.php although i couldnt find a way to search for "touch screen" which im guessing is the main part of the iphone that you want. you can use "integrated PDA" to get something similar, and IMHO better than the ipod interface. with memory cards, you can get an 8gig sd card, and it will still come out cheaper than the iphone, especially an unlocked one


I'm not sure which category is appropriate but what does the phrase "Two olives short of a martini" or "A few tacos short of a combo" really mean?

Thanks (link)
it means the person is stupid


ok so im 16 and i hope my breasts arnt going to stay like this but im a size 34B and it seems like my areola are bigger then the average person at my age there like 2 inches wide and 2 inches long .. is it just me or is that big? and i have a new boyfriend and i dont no what he will say.. im just being insacure i guess but please be honest is that unattractive to guys? (link)
yeah... i was once a victim of the whole thinking porn star areolas are normal, dont know why, nothing else about them is normal. so yeah, with a girlfriend i had a while back had really big ones, bigger than 2 inches, maybe like 4, confused me for a few seconds, but yeah it really doesnt matter.


What subjects did you take for the SAT IIs and what were your scores?


Thanks. (link)
math II writing and biology, with scores somewhere between 650-700 for each, dont remember exactly.

my overall GPA was 3.33hing over 2000 would be considered a good score. even colleges dont know quite so much about it, and with most schools, the score you get on it doesnt matter as much as the SAT I's or your GPA.


I know this is beyond stupid, but I was wondering for anyone who has had their wisdom teeth out how much weight did you lose? Like what did you weigh before and after? I have to get mine out either this summer or next, and I have been really trying to lose weight this summer and I just thought if it gives me a boost with losing some pounds I'll just get it over with haha. My friend said it helped her because she could barely eat/never wanted to. I weigh 136 right now and am 16. Don't tell me this is dumb, I already stated that I know this question is dumb! Thanks!

And I do eat healthy and work out, I just need something to like kick start the losing weight process a little more :P (link)
i didnt lose any weight when i got mine taken out, but then, i was eating mashed potatoes and ice scream...


ok. im 16/f

i got on my myspace yesterday and someone had left a horrible racist comment in my truth box.

it read: ''Well...to be perfectly honest I dislike you very much. And I don't say this without reason. Your not a very good person and you fuck niggers because they are the only kind of people who will show anyone like you any attention. Seriously Jordyn just go to hell...''

sorry for the laguage but thats what it said word for word. this really upset me and i was wondering if anyone knew how to find out who sent this. its a truth box so its anonymous but i thought someone might know how to find out.
thank you so much

(link)
no, thats the whole point of truth box, to be able to leave messed up comments for people you are supposed to be friends with, and to profess your undying love for someone who just thinks of you as a friend.


I'm donating blood this Saturday. I've never had a tattoo before, but I've been planning on getting one this summer. But, you cannot donate blood within 12 months of getting a tattoo. Sooo I also made an appointment for my tattoo (which will be small on my ankle) for SIX hours after the drive.
It SHOULD be safe, becuase the body regenerates the one pint of blood within 24 hrs, so that means after 6, 1/4 wiill be done. So is there any reason why this would be an unsafe decision to donate blood and get a tat in the same day? (link)
it should be ok, but if its your first time giving blood, you might not feel well for a few hours afterwards. you should ask the nurse at the blood drive just in case, maybe reschedule your appointment for the next day.


My grandparents used to speak to me in a different language and well I grew up with a grandparent that couldn't speak English at all. It's been like 5-6 years since their deaths but I can still understand the language when spoken. I cannot speak it, read it or write it.. but I can understand most of it when people talk. How does this work when there's this huge gap in between? Do I only remember because my grandparents spoke it since my birth and the following years.. did it stick to my memory or? I can't make sense of it really. (link)
well its a little weird to not be able to speak it at all, but its fairly common to be able to understand a language fairly well long before you can speak it fluently. i took spanish in high school, and dont remember very much of it, but i can still get the general gist of a conversation, but cant produce many words or sentences myself. listening, reading, writing, and speaking all involce different areas of the brain, especially with writing if you are right handed. recognition is also an easier task for the brain than production. also, language learning is far easier when you are younger, even before you can really understand whats going on, your brain is forming connections in the brain based on what you are seeing and hearing, so its quite likely you heard the language alot as a baby, and before you learned to talk, so the understanding connection were formed well, but the speaking ones werent. since you have the understanding, it should be easier for you to learn to speak and read/write it if you decide to.


Is there anything else on the market that plays music, video, and has Wi-Fi (other than the iPod touch)? (link)
pretty much any PDA, palm, or pocket pc these days has all of those things. i recommend an hp ipaq.


I have a Pantech Duo (or C810, I believe). Anyway, I love the operating system and how functional it is, but I always have problems with the screen (the first one I ad completely blanked out and stopped working, and the replacement phone they sent me a few months ago now has a tiny black line through the screen).

So anyway, I want a new phone. I just got this one for Christmas and even though I like it, I want a different phone. I have AT&T, and on the website, it says I can exchange it if it doesn't work properly without physical damage... but does that mean for the same phone, or can I exchange it for another one of the same price I bought it for? Anyone know how this exchange policy works? Also, any adive on a reliable smart phone from AT&T with WM6? (link)
technically, the exchange policy is supposed to be for the same phone, however, it never hurts to ask. i recently had a phone (lg shine) crap out for the second time, so i asked to exchange for a different phone, and they said yes.


18F (virgin.. i belive in sex after marriage)

i would like to know when a girl has protected sex regularly(almost everyday) does her monthly periods stop altogether???
my bf says that he has heared that periods stop when having sex almost everyday... is it true???

or does it only happen when u get pregnant??? (link)
only when you are pregnant. if anything, sex every day would make your period come more often, that would make sense biologically, what your friend said makes no sense at all, because biologically, the purpose of sex is to have children, and if you arent getting your perioud, you wont get pregnant.


in microsoft word, i used to be able to highlight a passage & click "backspace" & it would delete. however, for some reason, when i highlight a passage NOW and hit "backspace" it doesn't delete the passage, and the passage isn't highlighted anymore. it's super annoying. the only way it works is if i highlight the passage & hit "delete." does anyone know how to fix this? (link)
tools > options > edit > under editing options, check "typing replaces selection"


so i had sex with my boyfriend the day i think i was suppose to get my period.
and the condom broke, so we went and got a pregnancy test and i used that first just to be sure i wasn't pregnant before we spent $50 on the morning after pill.
the test came back negative, so then we bought the pill, and i took it as instructed.
well that was two days ago and two days after i thought i was suppose to get my period..and i havent gotten my period yet.. is this normal?
is there a good chance that i'm pregnant? (link)
the morning after pill is extremely effective. its also full of hormones that are quite likely to mess with your period schedule.


So a while ago I met this guy and we tried dating, but he was still in love with his ex of three years, so we decided to just be friends. Than they broke up again and he starting liking me.
One night he randomly calls me and says we need to stop talking because he is falling for me and doesn't want to. I was there for him the whole time and a week later we started talking again. He promised he would never do that to me ever again. We became best friends and were so close.
Just a few days ago he calls and says that he is going to get back with his ex and she doesn't like me, so he doesn't want to talk to me anymore. I was really upset and yelled at him for going back on his word. Now, I am feeling guilty. What should I do? And I do still care about him and like him which is making all of this so much harder. (link)
you stop feeling guilty, its him thats in the wrong here. do you really want to be friends with someone thats gonna ditch you because of a girlfriend? would you stop talking to him if you got a boyfriend that didnt like him? when they end up breaking up, make him work to be your friend again, if you want to allow it at all. if he has to work at it, he wont take it for granted.


*SORRY!!! I DIDN'T TITLE THE OTHER QUESTION!!*

I have Verizon now and I'm thinking of switching to AT&T (Cingular)..Tell me..How good is the service? The few people I have talked to said it was WAY better than Verizon and they liked it alot.

What are some things you like about Cingular?
What are some things you don't like?

I'm also considering buying an Iphone. So if any of you out there in Advicenators land own an Iphone, tell me all about it. Like, what plan you have and how much your bill is (estimate) every month. If I switch, I'll have to pay the bill myself, so, I need an idea of what I'm getting myself into.

If I stay with Verizon and update our phones, I'm looking at a Blackberry Pearl. However, the Blackberry feels too business-y, and I'm not sure that you can have real songs as your ringtone. I'm HIGHLY interested in having real songs as my ringtone, rather than the polyphonic crap they have.

Please feel free to give as many details as your heart desires! I'm desperate. (link)
what service is best depends on the area, where i live (california), ATT is far superior to verizon and sprint. from what i hear, ATT is great everywhere else as well. i dont have an iphone, but from ive seen and heard, its overhyped. amazon has really good deals on phones, for all services, so you can check out att and verizon there.

the biggest advantage off att is the rollover minutes, so you keep what you buy.

if you do decide to switch, i should be able to get you a $25 giftcard if you send me your name and email address


how long does it stay in your blood stream before it completely disappears? (link)
Nicotine stays in the blood for several hours, up to 48 hours to be precise. After this it cannot be detected in the blood or urine. However, the metabolite of nicotine which is known as Cotinine leaves its traces in blood as well as in urine for up to 7 days. About 85 to 90 per cent of the nicotine which is present in your blood is metabolised by the liver and is thrown out of your system by the kidney. But due to the higher concentration, many a times, it still persists in the blood stream. Nicotine is a very highly addictive chemical that is the main component of cigarettes. Your body, especially your heart and lungs, will usually begin to heal at 12 hours after you’ve had your last cigarette/ stopped smoking.


I have Memorex rewritable cds (CD-RW) 700 mb, and I have absolutely no clue how to rewrite it. The cds don't come with instructions or anything. Could somebody please tell me how to rewrite it? Thanks (link)
you stick it into your cd drive, assuming your cd drive can write in the first place, and just drag and drop files in or delete files likes its a harddrive.


if i buy a router does that create my own internet? nothing more i dont need to pay more? i need help i dont know anything about it thankyou (link)
well, you need regular internet first. you plug the wifi router in between your computer and your internet router, and it creates the wireless network, you dont need to pay more for that.
