I think of myself as a writer. I care about home, faith, children and pets,which I have several. I feel I need to help others, and with my background can be done by answering advice questions. So I hope everyone likes my answers.

My mom and I are the only one's at home and my computer/printer is acting up and we don't know computers. I need someone that knows computers to tell me how to turn on my spooler. I looked up spooler and I learned that it's what allows the computer to print? I'm not sure if I got that right but I couldn't find out how to turn it on. Thanks alot. (link)
Reboot and try again. If this doesn't work then turn off the computer and and check all the connections. Thats usually the problem. If not then call customer service of the computer.

Thanks


My boyfriend doesn't seem to like sex. He goes limp when trying to have sex. He loves receiving oral sex, and does great during this. Please help me to try and figure out what could be wrong. I'm really concerned for him, and myself, as I need attention the same as he does from time to time.
Thank You in advance! (link)
Has your boyfriend expressed concern about this as well? If not, I would ask him why. If he has then I'd get him to a medical doctor quickly and would wonder why he hasn't already sought help. It may be he needs counseling but that would/will be up to the medical doctor to refer him. Usually when a man cannot keep an erection it is either a side effect of medication or a problem he is already aware of. I would wonder how it is he doesn't like Sex with you...


So here I am crying all day for various reasons. That's not what my question is, haha, everyone has those days. But I just got to wondering, do tears have any effect on your face? Do their clog your pores? Do they clear them? Or do they do nothing? I know they are different than water, but do they have the same effect as water? Basically nothing? I mean, when you have a muddy face and you cry they leave lines down your face where they fell. I couldn't find an answer to this on google or on this site already, maybe I am just searching the wrong words. Hopefully I am not the only person who thinks of silly questions such as this one. Thanks! (link)
Tears make your eyes work. If you had no tears, your eyes would not work at all! Tears protect eyes from infection. But there are other chemicals in tears besides fighting infection. These chemicals causes your body to relax when you cry, so it sooths you if your hurt, angry or upset with someone. This chemical clears helps clear your mind so you can think more clearly. But crying also is a signal to other people that they need to help you. Usually it changes the way they approach you.

Hope this is what your looking for.


I have been looking for a purse to buy because I'm starting to need one. I was watching The Simple Life 2: Roadtrip, and Paris Hilton had this cute pink velvet envelope purse with a gold shoulder chain and I absoltely loved it.

So I got on my computer and looked up Paris Hilton purses and I got no results there. I've been looking just about every way possible. Is there someone who happens to know how I can get that purse? And if not, could someone recommend a good website store or a store that I can find some cute purses?

Thanks-I will definetly rate for trying! (link)
I haven't seen the purse, but there are some pretty good web-sites out there to try; Ebay has a lot of Paris Hilton purses, plus dozens of look-a-like web sites. Here are a couple.

www.ebay.com
www.shopzilla.com
www.shopsueyboutique.com

Hope these help.

Good Luck


hello i am new to this system so help me i am having problems with my girlfriend we have been together for 2years and 1month and im her first b.f, it all started when her best friend manipulated me into having sex with her after i cheated on my gf i swore and made a promise saying nothing will ever happen like that again, and its been the truth now all she wants is to argue she bafrely talks to me right now she asked for a break for no reason and she likes to hang out with her friends more even though she has been the best thing in my life and still is i want anyones opinion i really need help to figure her out!!! (link)
First: Trust is what builds relationships. If you've busted that then you're gonna have a hard time getting her back. She may say shes forgiven you, but don't think that means she's forgotten or that she trust you. Second: I have to say she needs to go on with her life without you. If you cheated for ANY reason, then she's better off finding someone else, period.


I am planning on asking this girl out. Both are adults. Saying she says yes, what are some unique, cute, romantic, first date ideas besides going to the movies or out for dinner. Anyones advice tips will be very much appreciated. (link)
This is easy. I once went to a restaurant with a guy. Over desert the waitress brought out a rose on a plate with a poem the guy had written. It was very romantic. The perfect gift is always a Rose. But be sure to get the right one. For a first date a Yellow Rose would be perfect. Wait to give Red for if it grows into a relationship, a white one for that special someone you are to spend your life with.

A couple months ago my doctor diagnosed me with depression and I started to see a councelor. I quit going after a couple times because she made me feel worse and I had a breakdown 2 times in one week because of her. I was fine for awhile, but now I'm feeling horrible again. I don't know why I'm feeling depressed and everynight I want to kill myself.
I can't take anti-depressants because they'll react with my medicine that I'm taking right now. Anyone know of ideas to get my mind out of this fix that it gets into? (link)
A counselor I'm not. But I do know when a person is depressed they want to meditate on what is depressing them, they stay in bed all day or in a dark room watching TV &/or eating. First of all our thoughts are like records playing over and over. Change the record. Doesn't matter what you're thinking just change it. Then get out of the house, walk around the block several times, as long as you're not in the same room with the same environment. Light coming into the house usually has an immediate reflection on us. Open the curtains & windows and let fresh air in. All these will change the record playing over and over, as well as let you take a fresh look at the problem. Then get busy finding a counselor that will work for you. Life is too short to think about taking it. That’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Next month this one will be gone and another will be here. Handle each one separately. Good luck I wish you only the best.


Lately me & my boyfriend have been having alot of fights. I dont want to break up with him because I love him heaps & I dont want to lose him. But he has been acting like he doesnt care & everything. Just want someone to help me get through this before I do something wrong. What should I do? (link)
Maybe you should ask yourself if this is the type relationship you want to continue with. If he's acting like he doesn't care then maybe he's not acting. Discuss it with him, if the answers are the ones you want to hear move on. There's others out there for you.


Talk About Teenage Drama ! Here's my problem .. i've always been right on time for my period, and it's now been about two weeks since i missed it. I'm only 16 and have been in D.S.S since i was 12. I've gotten into plenty of trouble in the home i'm staying at ( been there 3 years. They actually took guardianship of me ). Now I love my boyfriend very much and i think if i am pregnant then we'd be as ready as we could be but i have a big worry in my head! if i am in fact pregnant, i'm pretty sure i would be kicked out of my house and i don't want to be pregnant in a foster home. So here is my fill of questions:
Would D.S.S take my baby?? Would it be a possiblity to live with my boyfriend and his parents? would they try to keep me away from the father of my child?
Well That's most of it, someone please get back to me .. i'm going nuts =( (link)
Lets take another look at this. You already know that at 16 years old the family cannot kick you out. They have to turn you back over to the Children services or may risk getting themselves in trouble. But you have to ask yourself what you want. Quit the What-if's. Take each question you've given yourself and find the answer for that question before going on to the next. Call the DDS, anonymously if necessary, and ask these questions before you decide on your next move. You didn't say how old the boyfriend was, therefore I have to assume he is close to the same as as you. If so, is he willing to become a father? Is his family ready for him to take on this responsibility and will help? These are only a few questions you need to be finding answers for, since you know more of the facts than any readers can assume to guess at and answer.


When is the best time to start jogging, jump roping, biking, or whatever...after youve eaten or before? At night, before you go to sleep, or the morning when you wake up?

Normally your engergy is in the highest peak when you firse rise. But many wait to until late afternoon since it seems to give an extra quick pick-me-up. Which ever time of day you decide to excerise make sure its in the coolest part of that time of day.


of course there's the whole bird flu situation going on, but i was wondering, how do you actually get it? i mean, right now you can basically only get it from birds, unless it morphs, but what would you have to do to actually get it from a bird??

thanks!! (link)
According to the CDC and WHO, A person may get Bird Flu by coming in contact with an infected bird or an infected bird flu droppings. the bird must have type A strains of the influenza virus.
According to WebMD: Migratory waterfowl - most notably wild ducks - are the natural reservoir of bird flu viruses. If further information is needed then please see the WebMD web site on Bird Flu.
