Hi im 19 year old female and when i exercise i get out of breath really easily. I also experiance a feeling like i am struggling to get air into my lungs. I have seen a doctor and they have diagnosed me with asthma but i dont think i have this. My boyfriend is asthmatic and his symptoms are different, for example he wheezes often and i have only ever wheezed a couple of times after running.

First and foremost, I'm not qualified to contradict the diagnosis of a doctor.
How recently did you start exercising? When was your last physical? If you're new to the whole shebang, your cardio system might be weak and you should reduce your workload until it builds up.
Do you workout outdoors? If you're in the northern US or Canada, and it's winter, that might be a trigger for asthmatic symptoms. Try staying indoors or work out at a gym.
Good luck!

Anyone have experience converting to the new FireFox 4 browser? I remember how "interesting" thing were when FireFox 3 first came out.
Should I upgrade now? Are the bugs worked out? Should I wait for a few minor releases first?
Your opinions would help.

Firefox 4 had release candidate period that lasted about two months. It's been hardened, but many extensions haven't had time to catch up.
I think it's better overall. It performs better, and a CPU-spiking issue I had with 3.6 appears to be eliminated. That's a huge plus.
If you run vista or windows 7, you might be put off by the new browser window layout, which takes pages from Microsoft Office 2007 and Google Chrome alike, but overall I adapted and I like it. I miss the status bar, but I can live without it.
There is one crash I run into rarely when I wake my computer from sleep. I don't know the cause.
Download a 3.6 installer, but I say proceed with 4. It's rad.

hey guys so i got a virus on my comp :( and im really scared cause of all my music and pics. are they going to be deleted if i send my comp to a comp engineer? last time that when i sent my comp to fix everything got deleted. i wanted to email them to my account but its not letting me go online cause of the virus. what can i do to save my pics and music? i dont have a flashdrive and i heard theyre expensive so any other ideas? thankyou so much. (link)

In Canada, an 8GB flash drive costs about $20 and should be enough to store all of your documents (I imagine you have a lot of school assignments to move over), and should store a good amount of other items, including music. In the US, I imagine it's about the same cost for the same capacity.
You can get such drives at your local Wal-Mart, but there are better options at Circuit City. Try to stick to name brands like Sandisk, as they tend to be reliable. Sony branded sticks tend to be overpriced.
To use the memory stick, Open you "Computer" icon (Usually in the windows Start menu, but often also on the desktop) and insert it. A new device will appear in the Computer window with a new drive letter. Simply drag your items onto that icon (or double click the drive icon to open a window you may drag items into) and Windows will copy the items to the drive. Confirm they've been copied by double-clicking on the drive icon and ensuring that all of the items are present.
Also, if you need another tech to help you out with the process, don't go back to the incompetent techs who lost your data last time. Unless the drive failed outright (which would necessitate a replacement), there is literally no reason they couldn't get your data back.

I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 months. We're both 22 and have a lot in common, and the beginning looks promissing for a successful long term relationship. The compatibility, his behavior, his mix of almost everything I want from a man, him finding what a lot of what he looks for in a woman with me... Though early, it seems like this could potentially blossom with time into something beautiful. So far, we bring out the best in each other, we push each other to do better, and we function like a team in many aspects. I honestly think this relationship makes both of us happier and better persons.
We haven't had sex yet, though we got to the stage of doing everything else, including sleeping together in the same bed without clohes on. I am not a virgin, but sex is a serious topic for me. I don't take it lightly, and I only want to think of having it in the context of a long term, loving relationship possibly heading towards marriage. I have had two serios relationships previously, which both ended at their own times due to compatibility reasons. After my second relationship I had told myself that I will only have sex again with a man that I am compatible enough to head into marriage. That doesn't mean waiting until marriage itself, but having a relationship with a good enough shape for that, if it makes sense. I don't want to get married now, but I see myself there in 2-3 years.
There is a strong attraction between me and my bf, which is why we got as far as we did. Despite the physical connection so far, I deffinetely don't feel ready to take it to the final end and have the sexusal intercourse, with all the risks and vulnerability it implies. I need more time for the relationship to develop and ...well to see how much of a long term it can get.
Last night he told me, while we were on his bed,that "That's it. This has to happen soon", because he "can't wait much longer". That "It's been already more than 3 months", and that "he's already showed me" he loves me and he's interested in more than just a sex fling with me.
I felt hurt by his words, and taken aback, because up to this point he acted very patient and encouraging, telling me things like "I can take as much time I need". I am curious ,was this something said in the sexual tension of the moment, or if it goes deeper and should worry me as to his feelings and intentions. I also don't want him to suspect any other reasons why I don't want to have sex with him, and on the other hand I don't know how to tell him everything on my mind without scarring him off.
I am sorry about the long post, but I am a bit confused about what I should do in my interaction with him. What I am not confused about is that I don't want to go all the way yet... So I guess I am asking for some feedback and for views of how people would handle this situation. Thank you (link)

Sex has to happen on terms that you're both prepared to offer and accept. If sex is a dividing line for you, then you'll both need to find someone who matches your tastes.
Ask yourself this question: Are you putting it off purely for the reasons you stated, or do you feel like you're putting it of because you think that's what he wants? It sounds like you agree that he's shown you a lot of commitment, and so in my position of "Stranger on the Internet", I think your personal vow is in good faith, but he might have gotten a different impression - that you're simply choosing to withhold sex because you expect that he wants it. Or it's because he thinks you wanted him to assert his desire. It's hard to say because, naturally, we don't have the entire picture.
You have some questions that you have to answer for yourself. In particular, do you fear that having sex with him would "cheapen" you or the relationship? Do you believe not having sex makes your relationship stronger? Do you fear what might happen to you (or your self-esteem) if you broke that vow to yourself? How could you cope? Based on how you feel about these questions and any others you wonder about, ask yourself if this person is truly a match for you.
Answer for yourself.
Good luck!

A dog's nose is a very sensitive part, and not just for smelling - tapping the nose of a dog can actually cause them some measure of pain.
But grabbing a dog around the nose so that you hold their mouth shut for a moment can assert some of your own dominance over the mutt without causing him to feel a sudden stinging in his snout.
Other things you can do is to hold 'em against the floor by the neck. You don't want to choke the poor thing, but you do want to restrain him. Dogs do this all the time.
But before you explore these heavy measures of asserting your place in the puppy pecking order, make sure he's not taking out his aggravation of not having a soft chewing toy that he can sink his teeth into on you. Make sure you play with him with a small rubber dog toy. Once he associates chomping down on a toy with having fun, he'll probably stop attacking your family.

So here's my question... im a girl and im 16, but for some reason i am very nervous about doing things with this guy i like in school. We always talk about doing stuff and having sex. I asked this question before and i got an answer saying watch some porn videos... well i did and im still nervous because they are pro. How do I boost my seflesteem so i can actually do what i say i want to do? And im not looking for an answer that says do what's conftorable or if youre not ready dont do it. Im not looking for those answers. I want to do stuff with him but im scared, how do i become unscared? (link)

First time experiences are often difficult to face. If you're not sure about something like sex, stop and take time to understand it more. I know you didn't ask for that right off the bat, but understanding sexuality is the first step to embracing it.
Alright, so what about sex do you want to understand? Chances are you havn't seen a while lot of penis, and he sounds eager enough to help rectify that, so ask him to whip it out so you can explore how it works. He's eager, and you're eager, so get to know sexuality better. Is it warm? How does it feel? Learn those things for yourself.
And let him learn about you and how you work. You might discover some things about yourself during those missions, and as you become more acquainted with each others plumbing, you'll probably get over that stage fright.
Finally, remember that the people who perform in porn videos are experts at what they do. They're actors, and many have had all kinds of operations done to perfect their bodies in areas that make them desirable to watch. Boob jobs, workouts, and the 36" dongs that swing in the breeze like the pendulum of a grandfather clock and shoot gallon-sized loads all over... I think you get the idea... anyway, they represent a small subset of people that knock boots. Watch them like you watch a pro basketball game before you play basketball with your friends.
Oh, and always keep a rubber on stand-by.

Guy here.
One of my observations as a guy is that guys generally won't complement other guys unless the guy has done something particularly exceptional. In my case, I was complimented on a beard I grew and that I've kept since.
Women, on the other hand, tend to work a bit differently. They love complimenting each other. Sometimes, they have these tribal gatherings, where they pull out goop and mud and food items and dress their fases up with these strange concoctions. They call these events make-over parties. Some persue these things into middle-age. And yes, they compliment each other on their looks while doing it.
Now as a guy, and a lonely (perhaps slightly a misogynistic one at that, based on that last paragraph), it's easy to take a compliment from an attractive lady to heart a bit too far. The "cure", then is to put it into context.
In this case, you were talking about your hair, and she paid you a nice compliment. If you're attracted to her sexually, chances are you took it to heart, just as anyone who sought a fleeting chance at romance with her might.
But there's the rub with being gay: unless you've got a finely tuned sense of gaydar, it's hard to find people who share your sexuality outside of community watering holes, gatherings, or disco halls.
If you intend to stay in the closet, err on the side of caution, understanding that you'll probably be doomed to fighting against yourself until you finally come out. Otherwise, gauge her feelings on homosexuality by making a few comments in passing about the subject, and assess whether she could take the bombshell ("I...er... like you. Like that."), or if she might even accept a date invitation ("Lesbians? Love 'em!").
Good luck!

Guy here.
Let it go. You're attached to him because you see something awesome about him, but you must understand that a relationship takes two. If he can't build one with you, then you cannot build one with him. Relationships aren't without conflict, but he has told you in no uncertain terms that the level of conflict that he's been a party to are beyond what he can tolerate.
It's not you - it really is him - and by severing, he's done you and himself a favour. But it's up to you to skip past the denial and bargaining stage and to come to terms with the fact that the relationship, as you knew it, is dead.
There is one hope for you however: While guys notoriously dread starting in the friend zone, he's accepted that he could maintain a friendship with you. If you can love him as a friend rather than as a life partner, you can continue to be with him on that level. But if you cannot, the next best thing for both of you at this point is to simply severe.
Good luck.

would like to have some information on discussion on photosynthesis (link)
|
Consider discussing what the plant does with CO^2. Why does it "create" oxygen? What happens to the carbon? This is an aspect of photosynthesis that tends to get overlooked, but it's fascinating, since it's a topic which covers a fundamental of how plants grow.
Another discussion you could offer is: what happens when there isn't any CO^2? Or you can talk about what happens when a plant's roots are exposed to light (not air, but just light).

Okay so the past couple of days i have noticed my nipples have gotten bigger my boyfriend has noticed too. We are sexually active and I am not on birth control yet, I am waiting for my period to start before i begin them. The thing about my period is already 3 days late but any form of stress always makes me late and it has been a very stressful month haha. I have taken a HPT and it was negative. So i dont think it is caused from pregnancy. What are some other reasons for nipples to grow??? (link)
|
Pregnancy tests aren't always 100% accurate and many require 2 weeks to kick in. Nipples growing are a classic first stage sign of pregnancy. See your GYN ASAP and re-test in about 2 weeks.
It's probably too late for Plan B, so if you've got a pregnancy going on, you'll probably be facing an abortion if you decide you don't want a child at this stage in your life.
Good luck!
