::::for Xmas:::

-a framed collage of pictures of us together
:::for B-day:::
-while she is gone, decorting her room
---decorations:: 153 sticky notes on her wall that say 'i love u'... 153 hershy kisses on her bed... 153 rose pedals in a path that lead up to a framed letter im writing to her... candels everywhere, and some outlining the path to the letter. and her door is closed with a note on it so when she comes in she read (one for every day we've been toegher) cuz on her birthday we will ahve been together 153 days.
---then a charm bracelet from tiffanys with a charm that says "i
Sure, you have this huge feeling that you need to please her with gifts but for god's sake:
THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH ALREADY.
Your gut feeling is to buy and provide, but when you go overboard like this, it looks like you're trying to buy approval or compensate for something.
Personally, I don't think you should spend more than thirty bucks on any gift. However, I think your "room decorating" idea is GREAT.
Just to put things in perspective: If a woman thinks you haven't gotten her enough after you got her jewelry, a stuffed animal, photos frames, and a decorated room...It's time to find somebody else who will.
Sentimental value always trumps cash value. My suggestion would be to go with one piece of jewelry and the room decorating (incorporate the photo collage into the room decorating). Seriously, that's enough to make any girl melt for you.
Don't go overboard, and you'll do fine.

HERE IS THE STORY: My mother tells me she doesnt care how much or what I eat. But tonight she made me dinner
due to the fact I came home late. She brought me a fish dish. A small piece. I left a little over and when she was
cleaning up she said "I am not going to buy you this anymore" I got mad and had a fight with her and said to her "I
didnt leave that much over" and she said "You did, it was a small piece and I wasnt sure if I brought enough." I said to
her "Do you expect me to eat all of that piece" And she replied "Yes because it was such a small piece and salmon is
expensive" MY QUESTION: DID I OVERREACT WITH HER ORIGINAL COMMENT THAT SHE WASNT
GOING TO BUY THE SALMON AGAIN BECAUSE I LEFT SOME OVER. AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION?
Maybe I can help you see this from a different perspective. You might not agree with it, but it's an undeniable fact that comes with cooking for people.
Apparently, your mother normally doesn't really care what you eat, but today, she made you dinner. This is a huge gesture of caring and providing. By leaving some left over, she probably thought that you didn't like it. Salmon IS expensive, and it's not exactly easy to make it taste good. A more diplomatic way of solving the problem would be to just say, "Thank you" and mention that you just couldn't stomach down that last piece because you were so full.
From what you said, I'll assume that your mother doesn't do this very often. She might be sensitive to the possibility that you don't like her cooking. By leaving that piece, it could be interpreted it as, "I don't want it." However, getting into a big fight about is going to make her feel like a douche because she was just trying to help you.
If you liked the food, tell her so. Even if you left that little piece, it shows that you appreciate the work that she's put in for you.

Ok, I've been looking at broadband providers and the connection speeds that they are offering. They have a list of possible connection types e.g. 256/128, 2048/128, 4096/512 and so on.
Could someone please explain to me how to interpret these numbers (as in exactly what each one means and what the download and upload speed would be).
Thank you.
The simple way is to take all those numbers and DIVIDE BY 8 to convert from bits to Bytes. The companies like to use the kilobit unit because most commonfolk like to see a big number. The numbers stand for Down/Up (Download speed/Upload speed) In reality, computers always calculate memory using kilobytes. File sizes are measured in bytes. If you've downloaded files from the internet, you'll notice that the rates are calculated in Kilobytes per second.
8 bits = 1 byte
So:
256 kilobits / 128 kilobits
Divide by 8 for both
32 Kilobytes per second Downloading and 16 Kilobytes per second uploading.
2048/128 would be 256 Kilobytes per second Downloading and 16 Kilobytes per second uploading.
4096/512 would be 512 Kilobytes per second downloading and 64 Kilobytes per second uploading.
The amounts are always measured per second, so a 256/128 is actually considered almost painfully slow. Take note that the number that the providers give you is always a MAXIMUM. Find a good balance that gives you a good price, but also fits your internet needs. Remember the difference between bits and bytes, and you'll do fine.

i'm not planning on doing this, but how do you make apple juice? do you just squish an apple ? or what. haha thanks,
Whoever said putting an apple into a blender would make apple juice is ridiculously wrong. If you use a blender, you have to strain out a LOT of the pulp, or else you will be stuck with the equivalent of applesauce.
Making apple juice a rather difficult process that involves actually crushing apples then using a series of filters to get the clear juice from the pulp. Most apple juice is then pasteurized to make sure it doesn't carry any bad bacteria.
The process uses a lot of heavy equipment, so you are better off just buying some from the grocery store.
If you do plan on making it on your own, your best bet would be to use a juicer. Most juicers automatically strain out pulp, so you'll be left with apple juice. The juice you get will be cloudy due to pectin and starch, but still perfectly drinkable.

one of my friends send me an email today and told me all about this website called imvu.com and its really cool.But you need to download it at the end and i have aol.Will my computer get ruined if i download it???Thanx in advance!
I use IMVU sometimes, and I can say personally that it doesn't have any viruses or spyware. The only issue that you might have is that the program uses a lot of system resources. You need a pretty high-end computer to run things smoothly.
In any case, download it and give it a try, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

the convo between me and my friend in IM
friend: does it matter if i look at his myspace?
friend: NO.
me:iono its your choice
friend: yeah i know
friend: but yer like so surprised
me: wtf im not
friend: yer like REALLY?
friend: WTF?
me: (laughing out loud)
friend: and stop saying WTF
me: noooooooo
friend: say WtH or something
me: wht
me: why*
friend: cuz its not a good habit
me: i like wtf better
friend: just dont use it when yer talking to me
friend: you give me the wrong idea
friend: lke your mad
friend: haha
friend: iono
me: why do you think im mad
friend: cause you say
friend: WTF
me: so?
friend: nvm
what is she trying to say? whats wrong with saying wtf? i mean why does she cares if i say wtf? but is she trying to be a good friend for saying this?
WTF=what the f*ck
She's saying that you can give the impression that you're angry or overexcited when you use WTF. You might not have the intention to communicate that kind of emotion, but the words that you are using carry that message.
I'm with your friend on this one. She's not trying to CONTROL you. As a true friend, she's telling you these things because they will help you. Sort of like when you're at a fancy dinner, and your friend whispers to you that you have spinach stuck in your teeth.
You seem a little passive-aggressive in just this small snippet of a conversation. Try to tone things down a bit. Be open to what others have to say. Surprisingly, some of them can actually give you some great insight. Plus, it makes things easier on everyone. I'm sure you'll do fine.
PS I really wouldn't care personally, but some people find it really distasteful to make a habit out of swearing.

My sister is addicted to vicodin and morphine. She is in a bad stage of it and family is turning on her.She lives in Florida me in Ohio, How can I get the family to help her even though she has become a depressed mess, and yes she is in a major state of denial.Thanks
It must be extremely difficult seeing a a sister go through something like this. Your family must have tried to help her countless times, but it just isn't working.
Get her some professional help. Therapy usually helps to get the psychological issues through, but it takes a long-term commitment (at least 6 months) that most people are usually unwilling to take. Get her enrolled in a 12-step program (i.e. Narcotics Anonymous).
Here's a link for Florida. You'll have to find the locality:

i was talking to a guy that i like heres the conversation
me:we should hang out that is if you arent already hangin out with some girl
him: i wish
him: sike
him: ill hang out with you
me: u wish? im sure you have plenty of girls
him:nahh not as many as you wuld think
me: well i dont see why you wouldnt have as many as i think
him:uhh
him: lol
signed off at 3:20 pm.. (he got kicked off)
do you think maybe i scared him by saying that or what do you think he meant by the uhh? THANKS
"me: well i dont see why you wouldnt have as many as i think"
He's being cautious not to turn you off. It seems like you're starting off the whole conversation with the prospect that he already has lots of girlfriends. He seems to be a funny guy and is taking the situation a bit lighter. Have come confidence! If you like him, go for it, don't muck around with the "other girls" crap, because that's always going to end up badly. Think about it this way: If a guy was asking to hang out with you and started talking about OTHER guys...pretty awkward to me.
"me: well i dont see why you wouldnt have as many as i think"
I don't think there is a RIGHT way to reply to that. If he says yes, you might think hes some kind of a player. If he says no, it makes him look like a loser who doesn't know how to talk to girls. As a guy, I'd say the "uhh" was more of a verbal shrug.
In any case, stop turning yourself down. He wants to hang out with you, so be POSITIVE. Nobody likes a girl who always talks about how unimportant she is. Be confident and you'll do fine.

well christmas is coming up.i have no idea in what i want for christmas so i decided on contacts.my dad didint want me to use them because supposebly they will mess up my eyes.since he wouldnt get them for me i asked my mom to buy them for me.she agreed but i dont know witch brand would be better.do you have any ideas?oh and what is the most you would pay for a pair of them?
thx!
The brand really doesn't matter. When you get contacts, the eye doctor will give you trial sets that match your eyes. Basically, you can try the contacts for a week, and if the don't feel right, just go back and get a different brand. The optometrists are usually VERY careful to match you up with contacts that are not only comfortable, but safe for you to wear.
The cost really depends on the type of lenses you get. The cheapest are probably monthly disposables (you toss them after a month) and they can go for up to around $150. If you're astigmatic, you might have to get toric lenses that are more expensive.
Just remember to follow their instructions. Take care of your contacts and your eyes, and you should be fine.

I'm a freshman in highschool, and I've started hearing more and more about people drinking, smoking, doing drugs, etc. I don't know if it's just my school, or if it's normal... but it seems like if you don't drink, people are like, "OMG?! YOU DON'T DRINK?!" Is it like that elsewhere? Or is it just my school? Because I'm hearing a lot about it now. Also, why do so many people do these things to themselves? What to they get out of it? A hangover? They like that? Can't they have fun without getting drunk or high? I don't get it. Sorry so many questions, thanks in advance.
The VAST majority of them are lying. They think that drinking underage, doing drugs, and generally being rebellious is cool, but it's not. It's just stupid.
Sure, they might take a sip out of a beer just to feel badass about "breakin' the law", but they're merely pawns of social programming. Trust me, if there are people doing drugs and drinking at your school, you wouldn't want to get involved with them anyway.
Keep to what you think is cool. Don't drink, don't do drugs. However, if you do, just be prepared to face whatever consequences that may result.
Don't bother listening to those fools. Keep it clean and get your way through high school.

i am running off a d-link router and adapter. the problem is that the internet is slow on certain programs, when on internet explorer the speed of my internet is fine, but when i come to gaming, or filesharing utilities the internet is soo slow with download rates at 1kbps can anyone help me with my problem?
thanx liam
Make sure you open up a firewall port so your applications can access the internet. D-Link routers usually have a built-in firewall, so you will need to forward some ports in order to allow your games and file-sharing utilities to access the internet.
This website should give you the step-by-step to forward ports:

okay so this definately has nothing to do with my love life, but i didnt know what column to put it in, so i just put it in the one i thought most people would look at!! does anybody know anything about teeth alignment? like how much it costs, do they put you to sleep during the process, etc. Or could you give me some sites?
Um..."Tooth alignment" as you call it is actually Orthodontistry. Basically, braces. The dentist can't surgically line all your teeth up in one procedure. I went through braces for 2 years and I can honestly say, while it was intimidating at first, it's something that I'm incredibly glad I did when I saw how nice my teeth looked afterwards.
Generally, you won't need to be "put to sleep" during any part of the process. Braces can take anywhere from a few months to several years depending on how much "alignment" you need done. The treatment can cost up to several thousand dollars, so be sure you want to do it before you spend a nice bucket of money.
Wikipedia has a nice long article explaining all the details about orthodontal work done:

I don't even know where to start... I'm a high school senior and I'm so damn busy with schoolwork. We're doing this film for our class project and deadline's already next week. The problem is, we're not even finished shooting all the scenes! I've been putting so much time and effort into this film(I got terribly sick last week and I lost 6-8 pounds from the time we started filming which was 3 weeks ago) but my actors don't seem to realize that we don't have all the time in the world, like, they're just lazing around sometimes and stuff...
I'm also an editor of the school paper and we're also rushing to finish the lay-outs because the deadline to the printer is also next week!
That's not all. I have to do my Investigatory project and I also have two research papers to finish! Actually I still don't have a topic for the other one and my English teacher hasn't given us our topic yet so for sure I'm gonna be cramming like crazy....
Sometimes I just feel restless...I can't concentrate in class becasue my mind is constantly focused on other things ALL the time... I've been losing weight and I don't want that to continue because other people have been telling me that I'm so skinny(I now only weigh 95lbs and my normal weight is around 100lbs.).
I also have DARK eyebags and I have a lot of pimples now...Plus, my cough just won't go away...
What can I do to reduce the stress?
I can personally understand exactly where you're coming from. I had a similar problem with being overwhelmed by work and disease during my junior year. The best thing that I can actually recommend for you is to be very organized. Actually get out a piece of paper and write out the things you need to do, so instead of having a chaotic jumble in your head, you have a systematic organized list. It's bad enough having tons of stuff to do, why make it harder on yourself by being disorganized? Trust me, if you put everything in order, things start to simplify themselves. Plus, being organized inherently makes things easier to get done.
My second piece of advice is prioritize. Look at your list and think what needs to get done NOW and take care of those things first. If there are some things that can wait, LET THEM WAIT. Don't worry about something unless you absolutely have to.
My third recommendation is to simply take time to relax. Take at least a good half-hour chunk of your day to simply LET GO. Go take a walk or a jog, flop down on the couch to watch an episode of some cartoon, go down to Jamba Juice with some friends and chat over smoothies. The key is to become completely detached from work for a small period of time to let yourself wind down. Erase your mind of all your stresses and worries and just enjoy yourself for a little bit out of every day. Even the smallest amount of ME-time works WONDERS to balance out a horribly hectic schedule.
Good Luck!

Yea, I already have a 512MB memory card with software for my phone. I was just wondering if your able to put a video clip on there and view it. I just need to know how to change the format of the video clip to be able to play on my phone.
First, you need to check with the cell phone manufacturer to see what format of video your phone can read (mp4, mpg, mov, etc). After that, you need to convert the video clip. I'm sure there are programs out there that can do it for you. You might have to google around to find a usable one, but I'm sure you can do it. After you've converted it, just follow the instructions to copy it onto your memory card. Put the memory card into your phone and see if it works.
Good Luck!

I have not dated a guy for almost two years now (a couple of days short of it), I think this is mostly because I have only ever kissed one guy. I feel that I should of gone at least a little further than that by now, but I do not want to start now.
I like this one guy and have for almost three years. We told eachother how we felt (its mutual) but sometimes he is shy around me now (or so I thought).
Last night, however, we were out drinkin and I really wanted him to kiss me but he didn't. We held hands and were together for like 6 hours straight, but around midnight we were sitting with a bunch of people and he had his hand rubbing my stomach (under my shirt, because it was cold) and I was fine with that. But then he started to go down just under the top of my pants, which I didn't think too much of. Finally he tried to go further but I moved in a position so he couldn't do it. We were sitting with a bunch of people so that was my only choice of what to do.
How is it that he can't kiss me but he can try to get his hand down my pants?
I know him REALLY well and he is a sweet guy.. and a virgin. What are his intentions? I am not ready to go further than making out with him right now (we aren't dating, that might change after a while if we were).
Is it worth telling him how I feel? What could I tell him? Is there a strong chance that he will not try to go further since he is quite shy around me most of the time?
I know this could be difficult to answer so I will rate good answers, appropriately of course.
Thanks so much for any advice relating to this :)
He likes you, but considering the situation, the circumstances would have made kissing you a bit awkward for him. Rubbing your stomach would be a bit more subtle and wouldn't recieve too much of a reaction out of the group you were with. However, going for a first kiss in front of a big group is usually not ideal for a guy. Aside from that, I totally agree with you that the reaching "down-under" is totally inappropriate, especially in public. There really is no explanation except for the fact that he might be curious to push the boundaries. He likes you and he wants to see what you are open to. If he was thinking at all, chances are that he won't do it again.
There is one thing that I don't particularly understand. You've told each other that you've liked each other, yet you aren't in a relationship? You like each other! START GOING OUT! Start dating, and get to know him much better. No matter what you do, NEVER tell a guy how far you are willing to go. For some reason, it totally destroys a relationship. Just take it slow and progress according to how you feel. Kissing and holding hands would be a start. But as you move deeper into a relationship, you should know in your own mind when to stop escalating. You seem to know whats going on. If you like him, make it official, then see where the relationship goes. I'm sure you'll do great.

For homecoming this year I am supposed to create a "Homecoming Survival Kit" for our school's freshman class president. She will be starring in our homecoming rally, which will be like a skit/mini play. She also is responsible for her the homecoming float for the freshmen, as well as other various homecoming duties. The theme for her freshman class is Zelda, as in the video game.
I'd like to know what you think would be good to go into a homecoming survival kit. What might help her survive the stress and pressure of all her homecoming responsiblities? What are some fun homecoming type items I could include?
Any ideas are greatly apreciated. thanks!
1 - Shield - So you can fend off those crazy upperclassmen.
2 - Green hat - Your body will be identifiable as a freshman if the upperclassmen get to you.
3 - Fairy in a Bottle - So your friends can save you.
-These are just a few sketchy ideas. Hopefully, your school is more frosh-friendly than mine.
Good Luck!

what are the basic things you need for make-up?
and what are the steps for putting it on [[like best]] thank youuu!
I'd say that you can't really have somebody TELL you how to put on make-up, but you have to see it for yourself. I would suggest letting your friends show you how to do it. If you don't really trust your friends with your face, you can always go down to the cosmetics counter at a department store and ask them to do a demonstration on you. Those cosmetic's ladies are always real nice, and on the plus side, they are total pros when it comes to makeup. Remember to pay attention to what cosmetics they use and how they are applied. After that, you should be able to mimic the effects pretty well.
Good Luck!

Hey I have a question, In the Game DDR does anybody know what a quater note arrow is????
Think in music notation. A quarter note arrow is essentially an arrow that you have to step on the beat. If you count "One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four" to the music, each quarter note arrow is stepped when you say each number. So, if you're counting right, for every 4-count, you should have 4 quarter-note steps.
The same system applies to eighth and sixteenth notes. Eight eighth notes per 4-count and 16 sixteenth notes per 4-count. Most of the time, you can distinguish between each beat-note by looking at the color of the arrow.
There are some nice tutorials on www.ddrfreak.com

i'm kinda short for my age and was wondering what can help me grow and/or what stunts growth.
i only wear a size 34A and so i was also wondering how can i make my boobs grow faster or bigger without any surgery stuff.
thanks for the help :)
Your body is perfectly normal as of now. Being fourteen years old, you have years and years of growing and developing to look forward to. Don't worry too much about how you look NOW. You have plenty of time to grow.

i mean i know he likes me but why won't he ask me to the dance.
It's sooo obviouse that he likes me but he won't ask me out.
why won't he?
help please!
You have to try to put yourself in his position.
If you had a really big crush on someone, chances are, you wouldn't even be able to talk to him, let alone ask him to a dance.
Asking a girl out is an intimidating thing, especially for young men. They are basically putting themselves on the line. By asking, they are leaving themselves perfectly vulnerable for the kind of shoot-down that could totally ruin a person's day. When Sadies' comes around, you'll understand.
Make it easier for him. Show that you're interested so he won't be afraid that you'll say no. Trust me, if a guy knew a girl would say yes, he would ask her out immediately.
