Personally, I hate this website. The majority of questions are either horribly worded, incredibly easy to answer on one's own with the use of widely available resources (including, but not limited to, www.google.com), alterations of a very common question, or a combination of the three. I confuse myself sometimes as to why I continue to read random questions, only to be to be driven insane by the utter disregard for the reader of the question. Maybe I just use this website as an outlet for my rage towards the section of teenagers who upset me the most, or possibly it is just ingrained in my psyche to read over poorly spelled questions to fuel my masochistic personality. I might even be staying here to prevent the overtake of this hapless corner of the internet by ignorant and lazy teenage girls that don't know how to say "yes" to someone who asked her out by the use of common sense and correct grammar.
I have, however, found that reading topic specific questions eliminates most of my frustration. Of course, that still doesn't stop me from running into unbelievably ignorant questions such as "does doing squats really make your theighs smaller?" in the INTERNET AND WEB DESIGN topic list.

ITS LONG BUT PLEASE READ!
i'm a 15 yr old girl
this JUST happen.. i came home and EVERYTHING.. and i mean EVERYTHING in my room was completely rearranged, reorganized, stuffed in random places, moved across the room, just everything was completely wrong in my room. We just had new housekeepers come for their first day and all i could do was cry at the sight of my room. I really did.. i just cried, it's already late enough and it was going to take me so long to fix my room and put it back to normal. My mom apparently LOVES the new maids ??? i told her to come upstairs and i showed her how everything was wrong. all she said was "they just wanted to make it look clean" LAKDJFKSJ... there are no words for me to describe how upset i am.. am i over reacting??
the only reason i feel so upset is because my room is MY place.. it's the only place i EVER feel comfortable, i don't even like when my family walks in my room, it's just MINE and it wasn't even messy in the first place its just like the housekeepers had the sudden urge to throw random stuff into empty shoe boxes and put them under my bed ...??? so i've spent the past HOUR re-doing my room... i'm not even kidding, i told my mom that i don't want them to clean my room and that i will do it from now on and apparently she won't let me do that because she doesn't think i'll actually clean up...how do i show her that i don't need a maid? and am i over reacting?? (link)

Just tell them not to clean your room. I'm sure they won't mind doing less work for the same pay.

Specifically, the Image Resizer:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
After installing, right click on the file of the picture you want to resize (or if you want to do a bunch at once, highlight multiple pictures first), and choose "Resize Pictures." There are 3 standard sizes (the 'Handheld PC' size is an inverted ratio, so I don't recommend it unless you want your pictures to be incredibly tiny) you can resize to, or you can choose your own. You don't have to worry about stretching or squeezing the picture if you don't happen to have a picture perfect (lol pun, get it?) ratio to start with.

did anyone ever read 'peaches' by jodi lynn anderson? i can't figure out the theme of this book for the life of me! it is driving me insane! could someone please respond and tell me a little about the theme, so i could understand it better? thank you very much =]

What are some low-calorie snacks that taste really good? I'm on a diet and I get tempted to cheat! lol (link)

Next time you get hungry and feel like snacking, chew on a piece of gum instead.

I'm f/16, and I was just wondering...The first time I've heard it hurts a lot. Depending on the person of course. For example I've never even wore a tampon, so will it hurt alot for me when I lose my virginity? How much will it hurt, and how much will the pain last for? Will you even feel at least a bit of pleasure anytime in the first time? (link)
| |
You'll be in pain most of the time, and you'll definitely be bleeding as a result. Have fun!

Hey, does anyone know any GOOD virus scan programs (that are free!)? Ad-Aware just isn't cutting it. Thank you. (link)
|
Ad-aware (as already stated) definitely does NOT search for viruses. Spyware =/= viruses.
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5
Completely free and in-depth virus scanner. Functions the same as any other scanner you would pay money to own, such as McAfee or Norton. Highly recommended.

hi! i'm 15 and a female. i'm plus size and i dress really nice, some guys tell me that i'm pretty but none of them seem to want to date me, why is that? how do i get atleast one of those guys to wanna date me? (link)
| |
You can't force someone into wanting to date you. You can ask someone out, but can't make them say yes.

My sister is a tiny girl. She's 13 years old, 5"1 and 89 lbs. I'm concerned that she's unhealthy. Is this a healthy weight for her? (link)
| |
It's on the skinny side, yeah. Being that she's only 13, I would say that's not a huge issue for now.

This is kinda long so I have no idea if anyone will read it. Well I guess I'll start when me and my ex went out. I liked her all through 9th grade but I had just started going out with this girl when my ex dumped her bf and told people she liked me. I won't get into my first relationship, but skip over to the last month of summer. I had broken up with the girl I was seeing at the end of 9th grade. I was still depressed over it. Then one day I was sitting on the computer and started to talk to Jeneen(my future ex). I remembered how much I liked her and asked if she wanted to come over sometime. And to my surprise she said yes. She came over and it was a little awkward until she was standing in my living room completely glued to the tv. I stood up, grabbed her hips, and pulled her towards me and kissed her. Haha she didn't even turn around until the least second. Then from the rest of the day on, just non stop kissing. I stopped to look her in the eye and asked, "So it's safe to say you like me?" She said, "I don't know. Do you like me?" I said, "Yeah of course." She said, "I like you too." Then I asked her out and we were going out. I won't get into detail about things that happend when we were going, but things were perfect.(to me they are at least) We both loved each other in no time and spent so much time together. She gave her virginity to me. But then she was acting strange the least week we were together. She was kind of distant, and she kept talking about this girl we both knew and saying how she told her she liked me and felt so sad. I was like and you're gonna dump me to make her feel better!? Then it happend. I was over my friends when she did it online. I was mad and kept saying whatever and her friend IMed me and said I was being a jerk. So much happend after we broke up, but I'll make it as short as possible. I was acting crazy when we broke up. I wrote her a note asking her back out, and she wrote one back saying sorry and we should wait. I didn't want to wait though. I asked her to hang out and she said yes, but ditched me twice. Then one day she was finally on my bus so I of course sat with her and asked if we were hanging out today. She said she felt sick. I acted mad and guilted her to come over. It was awkward until I got up in my living room and hugged her as hard as I could. We went back into my bedroom and it was like we never broke up so I asked her back out. She surprisingly said no. I was shocked and I broke down and cried in front of her. She hugged me and kept kissing me. Then she went home. She ditched me 6 more times after that day. It was also the last day we ever kissed. After around a 1 1/2 months of being broken up I then got involved with her bestfriend behind her back. During the 1 1/2 months I was a wreck. I called her all the time to like negotiate going back out. She told me she still loved me which then turned to I Still like you which turned to I dont know if I still like you. So I got involved with her friend who was so nice to me. I didn't do it for revenge. I just needed someone to replace jeneen. Jeneen found out and a huge thing was made out of it. She completely changed her tune. "You never loved me! You're the biggest ****" and blah blah blah. So things fell through with her friend after a few weeks. I immediatly realized I still liked my ex. We were friends at this point so I called her with intention on telling her. She was out with friends when I called her. I told her and she was like, "Oh well if you want you can call me when I'm home." I got to say I didn't mind that answer. So 2 hours later I signed online and she IMs me saying how she made out with this senior kid. I called her and was like you can't be serious. Turns out she had been drinking. The next morning when I checked my away message I had 10 IMs from her telling me how sorry she was. We talked and I asked if she still liked me and she said, "I don't know." So I asked her to hang out way too much and called her too much. Her friend(the one I was with) yelled at me. "Why do you act like she likes you!? SHE DOESN'T" I already knew she didn't, but I was trying to make her like me. We hung out once after a wicked long time of asking. She brought another friend when I made it clear I wanted to chill alone. I even tried to kiss her that night, but she just sat there. This happend around the end of january. Needless to say the night didn't go as planned. So back to present. It's been six months. I went to parties at jeneen's with my bestfriend paul who was starting to like her friend (the one I was with). So I went, but everytime I watched her gradually get closer to this ugly kid who stayed back named kevin. It killed me because they were soon cuddling and making out, but like an idiot I went every weekend. She is not going out with this kevin kid officially. I sent her a long note telling her how much I still loved her, I couldnt stand the thought of her with someone else, I just want her to be happy so be happy with whatever she does, to be with kevin if it makes her happy, and I have to distance myself from her. She told me she got it and it was very nice and thank you. I said theres nothing to thank I just wanted to say it. She said, "Well it was really nice and I liked it so thank you." I said welcome and then she asked how I was doing. I lied and said alright and she said she was glad. I havn't talked to her since. Been about a week. I still love her so much. Everyone tells me that the kevin kid a geek and that it will NEVER last, but I have trouble believing them. I see them in the halls all the time and they don't seem to be a good couple, but I also saw how they were out of school... She's also in my gym class. Today was our first day and I steered clear of her. I have no clue as what to do. I love her and she now knows. I feel a little better with each passing day, but then theres days I feel terrible. What should I do? Maybe just suggestion or ideas? I still love her so much and having little interest in anyone else around me. Please help in any way possible with any kind of advice. (link)

I'd bet you'd get more responses if you broke up your huge question into paragraphs to make it easier to read. Right now that looks like too much of a chore.
I'd say though, that YG knows what she's talking about, so you should definitely listen to her.

You are too concerned with impressing others. Not only does this hamper your behavior in public, but also will attract guys to your altered personality. Anyone who does end up liking you will be for the wrong reasons because they don't see the real you.
That's *why* it's important to "be yourself."
|
I like this guy, but I've got a few things I'm worried about. The first thing is that he never starts conversations. We talk and stuff, but I usually need to start the conversation, whether it's in person or over AIM.
The second thing is that I don't want to be annoying! I mean, what if I'm talking to him too much? He's not in any of my classes, so I can't talk to him often to begin with, but I'm still worried.
What should I do? Thanks! (link)
|
Speaking on behalf of the probable perspective of the guy you like, I would imagine that he is probably worried the same way you are.
"I mean, what if I'm talking to him too much?"
The reason he doesn't initiate conversations is because he asks himself the same question, but is so concerned with annoying someone by talking too much that he says nothing at all.
If you don't say anything, he probably won't say anything back. Not because he may not like you, but because he is just shy and afraid of annoying you.

Is it possible for boys to be anorexic?
I'll rate 5's to any answer
♥ Kendall (link)
| |
Yes. It's just not as common for a variety of reasons. Mainly it's because women are more self-conscious and controlled by what is the "ideal" female figure, which is the result of a lot of factors in society that I don't feel the need to detail.

My boyfriend and I are making wedding plans and we're debating whether to invite any of my relatives. You see, my entire family, with the (possible) exception of my father, loathes my boyfriend and makes no secret of it. Throughout my four-year relationship with him various relatives of mine have talked about him behind his back, illegally looked up confidential information about him and spread it around, made up outright lies about him in an effort to alienate me from him (my favorite slander was that he was riddled with VD and lying to me about it), and basically tried to ruin his career and his life. My mother admitted to me that she "hated" him -- I invited him to a family Christmas party a few years ago and he was told to "get lost" and was all but thrown out of the house.
Naturally, I don't really care to have these people witness our marriage. Certainly my boyfriend doesn't want it. He ought to be nominated for sainthood for being civil to them all this time, even when they were insulting him to his face. But he doesn't like their actions any more than I do.
The thing is, though, my family hates my boyfriend and not me. They adore me -- they just express their love in a very destructive way. I know if I refused to invite the lot to the wedding, they would be deeply hurt by the slight and would probably never forgive me. One solution is to elope, thereby inviting no one. But my boyfriend's family has been wonderfully supportive and we want them to witness our nuptials.
Part of me thinks: who cares if I hurt my family, they've hurt me horribly by their cruel behavior over the last four years. But I am not without heart and, as I said, they do love me. Just in the wrong way.
Do I invite them and hope they are nice when they show up, or do I not invite any of them, thereby assuring their hurt and consequent complaints for decades? (link)
|
So you want to invite them so you don't feel the guilt of forcefully cutting them out of your life, but you don't want them to show up?
If you choose to invite them or not, you have to explain to them why you are doing what you are doing.
If you want them to come to the wedding, you need to tell them that although they strongly disapprove of the groom, the ceremony is for the two of you, and they need to respect that. It's their right to hate him if they so choose, but they just need to keep their mouths shut about it.
If they can't do the former, or you outright decide to not invite them, then you are absolutely obligated to tell them why they won't be getting invites. If they don't have respect for you and your decisions, then they have no right to be present that day. If all your family will do is loathe the celebration, then why invite them in the first place?
I would try the first option and see how receptive they are to the idea. If you feel that they just won't be able to grit their teeth through the day, then you need to tell them that they are not welcome to ruin it.

i got a video ipod
anybody know what kind of video files it takes
or how to add one. (link)
| |
I bet you could find that information in the manual.
|
I downloaded the Super Mp3 Wav Converter (from www.audioutilities.com) to convert files Wav files that I recorded on my ilo mp3 player from Wav to mp3.
When I do this I plug my mp3 player into the computer with the usb port and open up the Super Mp3 Wav Converter. I got to Wav to mp3, click add, open file ilo, open file voice, click the file I want to convert, then click convert.
A box pops up that says in converting the file, and there are two bars that say 0%. One of the bars fills up to 100%, and then when the first bar finishes another box pops up that says "Invalid pointer operation." And stops the conversion. It does this EVERY time.
What am I suppose to do? My only guess is save the voice files from the mp3 onto the computer, but I dont know how to do that, or where to save them if I even knew how! Please help!!
(link)
|
I have never used that specific audio encoder, but if you would like to try an alternative, I suggest dBPowerAMP. ( http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm ) It has never given me conversion issues, and I am very picky about my audio.
To use it (after it's installed), just right click on the file you want to convert, and click "Convert To." From here you can select what audio codec you want to convert to, what bitrate, frequency, where to save, etc. Click "Convert" and you're done. It can decode and encode in any codec you have available, and additional codec packs are readily available if ogg/wave/mp3s don't suit your needs.

I wasn't sure which category it should go under, sorry.
Anyways, I hate my feet, like most people do. They aren't "ugly" or anything, and I keep them as clean and "pretty" as I can. But in a couple of spots, the skin is dry and cracked. Does anyone know any good lotions or "treatments" that would help get rid of this? Thanks. (link)

Most people don't hate their feet. For walking on them all day long, I wouldn't expect them to look too good.
