Okay, I know it's stupid, but I have TONS AND TONS OF STUFF in my room, and I just can't seem to clean it- I just don't know where to start. I'm dead serious, you can't see the floor. And my bedroom has 2 rooms in it, and both are REALLY messy. How should I attack it? I've already tried putting everything in a giant pile on my bed and then sorting through it like that, and picking slips with areas, and neither works. And of course, I've tried the classic 'pick it up and put it where it goes.' Nothing seems to work! Can anyone help? (link)
Got the same mess before. What I do is, I bought new filing cabinets like those who used in the office because it only need little space. I also bought few boxes that can be move to under my bed giving the floor more space. Try this furniture:

You need a video converter. There are lots of choices for video converters online with effect enhancement setting.


ok my best friend is moving and it is realy hard because we have been best friends and neighbors forever what can i do =( (link)
There's a lot of ways to communicate today and I'm sure you can always talk to each other. The best thing you need to do is to make sure all of his/her contact details. I also suggest to make buy some stationery for your best friend and write all the things that you want to say to her/him before they leave. Try this:

I am a 21/f and about a little over 2 months ago I broke up with my boyfriend of almost 4 and a half years. There are many reasons for the break up and it was mutual when I initiated it. Reasons for the break up were because things weren't the same anymore, trust issues, argued alot, things became routine, didn't talk throughout the day alot, no romance, more like friends than bf/gf...etc. After the the break up the ex wasn't so fond of the idea anymore and kept trying to get back together. I declined and he let me be. We had a long conversation like a week or so after and was kind of like closer because we both realized we weren't getting back together. I haven't talked to him since. He asked if it was okay if he deleted me off facebook when the break up went down and I was like ok? Mine is private and his isn't. Even though I know this isn't helping.. I do the occasional creep on his FB.. and here recently he had mentioned going to the movies with the girl who he talked to behind my back. All of a sudden I grew angry/irritated at the fact and I'm pretty sure its normal to feel that way. I am obviously not going to say anything because he aren't together and I am doing my thing too.. I am wondering if it would be bad to text one of these days to see how he's doing, maybe not mention the fact I don't like him seeing that girl but see how things are. It's really weird not being able to just text him out of habit and say hey and stuff... he was apart of me for over 4 years and it's not that I want to be with him again but I wonder if we could be friends but I'm not so sure right now would be good. I am at lost at what to do and I am probably answering my own question by saying don't talk to him, don't be friends and stop looking at his FB.. but easier said than done. Any suggestions on how to move on? (link)
Moving on from a long relationship is not that simple but I suggest you give your self time to go out with the usual routine when you are together. It is normal to feel that way when you saw him moving on. The best you can do is to move on also. Don't try to hard to move on though. Give your self time. Do other things instead to make your self busy and to be able to forget him. You will be amaze that after sometime its effortless not to think of him anymore. Good luck.


does anyone know where i can find a dress with the australian flag printed on it? i've been trying to find one everywhere on the internet, because i live in thailand now. my school is having an international day. does anyone know where i can find one please? (link)
Well I suggest you look for an online office supplies shop to maybe a costume seller online perhaps. That's what I did when I need one. Try this site:

I have an HP Deskjet 3650 colour printer. It always worked fine up until recently when it started printing things in the wrong colour. It will either print the first section of a picture correctly then switch to a pink tinge or it will be completely wrong. It is hooked up to two computers and the problem is the same with both. Word documents without any colour still print properly. To my knowledge, the ink cartridge is not due to be changed. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be and how it could be solved? (link)
Could be caused by clogged ink tube. Bring that on printer mechanic or on your supplier if the warranty is still valid.

what does cached mean (link)
Its a temporary memory of all the site you visited. Cache memory makes it easier to load a page the second time you open it because it saves a copy of a certain page so you only need the internet for connection to that page but the page itself is present on your computer.


In your opinion, what is better? Vans or Converse sneakers? I'm looking for shoe styles like this-

http://www.journeys.com/product.aspx?id=186635&g=girls&p=shoes&c=816&l=black&m=SM&sb=P

I like this style but theres different brands, not sure which one is better? I'd prefer if the price is between 30-40 dollars or less. thanks! (link)
I will go for converse. I like the quality of their shoes compare to vans plus you can have a lot of variations.


i have a dell a940 printer. im making a scrapbook for my friends birthday.. and i need to print pictures off my computer for it. whenever i print out a picture on the printer, they come out really dark and you cant make out whats in the picture. is there any was i can change the brightness of the printer? because i realllly need to print these pictures.

thanks! (link)
You can change the printer setting on your preference. It will be trial and error though. I advice to do some trial printing using different settings. You should also be careful on what kind of photo paper you will use. Try using this one:

So I'm a 19 year old college student. I live in my own and have a steady job and I have always dated older men but 25 has always been my cut off age.I recently met this guy that is 27 and we connect on a different level. I am starting to really develope feelings for him but im a little nervous about the age gap? would it be wrong for me to date him? (link)
No its not as long as you understand each other and you have a lot in common and besides that age is not that big gap. Hope that helps. Good luck


heyy, advicenators :)

i have a whiteboard 11" x 14" & i want to make it like a calendar whiteboard, like this:

http://www.flex-a-chart.com/1M4832.htm

but without the message space on the right side. so, this is for school to mark up important dates, and i wanted to know how to do it.

now, i know you might be thinking "just draw black lines vertically & horizontally" but the thing is, the boxes are going to be kinda small and so when i go to write in it, the lines might smudge and it'll look reallyyy messy. and when i go from month to month, i'll have to erase the WHOLE thing (otherwise i'll have to erase every single little number!) and then redraw all the lines.

does anyone have any other ideas? i was thinking of using string to divide the white board, or like construction paper. what do you think would be the easiest for when i have to erase the whole white board when i switch months? i'd PREFER not to use permanent marker cause i don't want to permanently leave my whiteboard like that -- just during the schoolyear.

also, i can't really find whiteboard calendars like the one above for cheap. that's why i was thinking of converting my plain whiteboard into one that can be used as a monthly calendar.

or, does anyone have any other ideas in order to track my assignments, tests, & projects? i used to make a table like "date, subject, assignment" and have three columns but i'm a visual person and those never really cut it.

ideas so far:
- string? (but won't the strings get looser and looser as i keep erasing from month to month?)
- construction paper? (will they rip?)

thank you! (link)
It depends on how you prefer it to look like. Its a matter of doing a design with much clarity to maximize its purpose to you. You can also try to find online samples for some reference

I have a crush on this boy who's so good-looking. He's eleven, while I'm thirteen. There was this fair at school, and he was walking with his friend. I was staring at him, and he looked at me. I blushed and looked away. But when he was walking away I found myself staring again. Then he hugged a girl, and I felt like my world was falling apart. Now I see him a lot. I always stare at him and most of the time he catches me. I'm wondering if he's noticing my crush on him. Should I keep on doing those things or give it up? (link)
I think you should try and talk to him. But remember that if you do that, you need to be ready on how he will react or what he will say. It can be negative or it can be positive. But the point is you've tried and you will never have regrets what ever happens. Good luck


Ok I have a really small plain room and it gets veeeery messy. the amount of space when its CLEAN to walk in is even smaller than a walk-in closet! And I can't move out any of the furniture because they're all nailed into the wall! What can I do to make it less messy and make it look nicer? It's so, well, PLAIN and I'm not even allowed to paint it. I like lava lamps and miniature desk water fountains and things like that if it helps!!!! thanx a lot, I will rate high for anyone who gives a reasonable answer (link)
You should consider having storage boxes rather than cabinets to minimize the space needed. You should also paint your wall with light and cool looking color to make the atmosphere more cooler looking. Avoid radiant, Dark and hot color. For storage boxes option you can visit this:
