I am haivng prublem with msn mesanger. see Itry sign in say there trouble thing or something had me restart it, and lathy been doing that. i dont know how to explaine, it just ican' get on my msn and i have down load newest verstion (link)
|
Glad I'm not the only one having that problem. I know exactly what you are talking about.
I have luck to if I restart, but that's a pain in the butt.
A couple of things I have had luck with...
For some reason lately, if the phone rings or I get bumped offline for any reason, it sets me as being "offline". So if that happens click on file and uncheck the "work offline". Then try signing in again.
That little grey box that pops up and says try again...don't. Never works. Click the X on that puppy and go back to the icon and try again. It sometimes works.
If you click the help on one of the grey boxes it will bring up a repair page. If you click repair, it will sometimes fix the problem.
I have also disconnected the phone line and redialed. Have had some luck with that.
I read somewhere that MSN and yahoo were having some sort of server issues recently. I sure hope if that's the problem they fix it soon!
Hope that helps you at least a little. I know it is really frustrating at times. :)

I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone tonight and just casually he guessed what his gift was and he didn’t sound all that pleased. What makes it worse is that he asked if he had guessed right and I blurted out No, just because I was scared and upset!
I’m a little panicked. I thought I had a good idea but he sounded really unimpressed…
I’m totally lost as to what to do now! Should I try and get something else? Or just go with it and admitted I didn’t tell the truth?! (link)
|
Maybe he sounded disappointed because that's what he wants to get!
My husband guesses every year what I get him. It used to bother me but it doesn't anymore. Mostly because I wait until the last minute to get him anything.
In the future, get a big old box and put a big rock in there (or something...don't want a rock mashing anything breakable). That should fool him.
I think you will be forgiven for fibbing a bit about the gift. I wouldn't panic and get something else. He will like it just fine. In the mean time he will try guessing something else. :)

Ever since sophomore year in high school a group of friends and I have always gone to South Padre for spring break. We're all sophomores in college now so this year is going to be our 5th. Well I have another friend that isn't apart of our group and she's going to Italy for spring break this year and asked me to come along.
Now, I'm not sure who to go with. I know what you're thinking though, "Italy, what an opportunity" But, I just went over the summer so it's not like a big deal. So should I just say no and go to South Padre?
(link)
|
I know its a tradition...though it will probably get broken at some point in time.
Go whichever way you think will be the most fun. Most likely that would be with those who you have known the longest and are most comfortable with.
It will be fun either way I'm sure! Have you asked her to join your other group in south Padre?
She may not fit in, but, if you think she would why not ask?

Hi i'm kaytee and this is my story: well i got my boyfriend last summer and im seriously in love! ever sice school started things have changed...almost every boy at my school says im hot and sexy, how they wanty me and how they would die to do me..its because my breast size changed and all that....well when my bf finds out he gets furious and he blames it on me! sometimes he gets so mad that he'll hit me and sexually abuse me (even though i do have a sex life w/ him) anyway sometimes it gets really serious and i know that breaking up w/him is not an option. even thought he does this i would never break up w/ him because i love him to death and i know he loves me..he does this because he always wants me and wants me to keep me forever. and also i know that he has anger mangement but id still rather be w/ him than break up you could just suggest things i can say it would be a HUGE help..thank you!

I'm married, and my husband and I rent a house from my parents. I'm 20, and my husband is 21. They've been pretty generous by offering us the house over other renters, and giving us a lower rent. They insist of holding a copy of the house key for emergencies, which is fine with me.
Here's the problem. Lately, they've been letting themselves in without knocking. After my husband and I come home from work and put the baby in bed, we tend to sit around...not completely clothed. More than once now, they've caught us like this; once just walking around naked and twice being intimate.
But maybe worse, they let themselves in when we're not home. I don't think they mean any harm, but they come in, look around, borrow our stuff, and clean.
I'm afraid that they'll find something they don't like and kick us out. I feel that we're adults, and we pay rent, so we deserve some privacy. Am I right that we should have privacy? If so, how should I go about talking to my parents? I don't want to make them feel bad, since I think they're just trying to help. (link)
|
If you pay rent then they should treat you as they would any other renter of the house.
I am sure they think they are helping you by coming in and cleaning etc., You would think though that after catching you undressed they would have started knocking at least!
If they are reasonable people, I don't think your saying something to them will be taken the wrong way.
Tell them you want to try keeping your own place clean and all that. While you appreciate they are trying to help you really want to be on your own.
You need to let them know that coming in without knocking and coming in when you are not around is invading your privacy. Everyone needs privacy.
By not letting them know how you feel, they think its okay to continue.
Oh, and if you don't do it already...knock when you visit them too.
Good luck. :)

So recently I've been waking up and finding that on my legs/arms, random bruises are appearing on my body. I'm at the point that I cheak my arms and legs before I go to bed & think back to if I hit anything. Im wondering if this could be a sign for anything that I should be worried about medically, or maybe I'm just paranoid? Thanks & I'll rate. (link)
|
I think it would be worth visiting the doctor about. Maybe you are walking in your sleep.
Tell your mom about it and have her put tape on the outside of your door or something. See if its broken in the morning.
I would still take you to get a check up too. :)

I don't approve of the way he is with them. He is way too indulgent. He buys them treats whenever they ask, and the little one whines a lot if she doesn't get her way. Related to the other question I asked, I wanted to say that he has gotten mad at me before. His oldest great-granddaughter used to be in my daughter's class at school. One day, my daughter was upset because this girl (I'll call her Lisa) told my daughter's best friend (Ally) that my daughter didn't want to be friends with her. I don't know why Lisa did this, maybe out of jealousy. I asked my daughter to ask Lisa why she said this, and she didn't have much of an excuse. I told Sam what happened, and he defended her saying she didn't have to appologise, Lisa could say whatever she wanted. He didn't care that she had made Ally cry. I didn't like his attitude, but I could see he was angry, so to keep the peace, I let it go. I told my daughter to write a note to Ally that said she was still her friend and not to listen to anyone else. This was several months ago. So he does have a pattern of losing his temper. The recent incident doesn't make sense to me since it wasn't one of his great-granddaughers that had called my daughter a "cry-baby." She was just talking to them about it. Maybe he misunderstood. Well, what do you think? (link)
|
There are a lot of grandparents who do over indulge the grand kids. Especially grandpas. A lot of it I think because they just didn't have the time to spend with their own kids growing up.
Maybe they feel they are making up for it somehow. When that grandparent spends as much time with the kids as this guy seems to though...not a good idea. Nothing worse than a spoilt kid.
If he does go off now and then I guess it is just a BAD personality trait. You probably won't be able to change his attitude.
What you don't want is for your children to think the behavior is OK. So, be sure you let them no it isn't.
I also think you need to let your opinion be known. If he doesn't like it then let him get up and leave. Otherwise, when his granddaughter starts acting the same way ( oh, and she will!), your daughter won't let her walk all over her.
Hope that helps a little. :)

My son got married to a young woman who is the oldest of 8 children. His wife Penny is a wonderful young woman but her mother has these 8 children ages 3, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26 have several different father's and their mother always depended on the oldest daughter to handle everything. Now that this daughter is gone the whole family is falling apart. The mother goes gambling every night and the 3 year old is left alone. Last night my son and his wife Penny went over and the 3 year old little boy was in is under pants alone in the basement with a party going on on the top floor with the teenagers. He was cold and hungry. My son does not know what to do as they are expecting their own child in two weeks and really did not want to take on this child. I can not sleep thinking about this child and if I say the word I am sure the mother will say great - you can take care of this child for the next 18 years. I am 57 and have recently quit work to take care of my 86 year old mother. My husband and I are quite comfortable financially but taking on a child is quite a committment. I have an entire play room with a bed and many toys for my grandchildren. This child does not even have his own bed but sleeps with his mother in a basement room that does not even have a closet or a set of drawers. The house is an unbelievable disaster and would probably win the award for the messiest house contest. I have not been able to sleep all night or for the last couple of days thinking about this child. I am thinking of phoning the mother and telling her that we can take the little boy for a while if she wants that but I think that it might be a very long while. My husband thinks that it would be okay to take him but that the mother might fall apart more if she does not have this one to look after. What do you suggest? (link)
|
It is good you want to help out. I would be afraid though that the mother of the 3 year old would take it as an insult.
Your son and his wife could call child protective services...but all children under 18 would be taken from the home, not just the 3 year old. Might not be a bad idea though.
There are other children in the home over 18. The basement is the child's bedroom evidently, so being in his room with a party going on is better than him being at the party I suppose.
Did Penny grow up in these conditions? If so she turned out OK. So, the mother must do something right.
Before you take on this responsibility, where is this child's father? Are their other relatives they could go to if child protective services were called in?
A three year old could get mighty expensive if he were to get sick. Without health coverage you would have to pay out of pocket. You need to get paperwork saying you have permission to have him treated in case of emergency also, should you take him in.
Just some things to think about. :)

Ok people i aint here to be ripped and i aint talking rubbish but im 16 male and started bodybuilding and cycling 3 months ago and do it every day cuz i got told i 'aint buff' and keep being called 'midget' by my peers (only 5'8" you see), but i have noticed im increaasing becoming paranoid and aggressive and feel like making holes in walls defacing people and i get nasty headaches and im always tense. I thought working out and exercising was meant to do the opposite, so is it this or do i have an exceptional case caused by another(serious?) problem. Am i going insane? (link)
|
Please don't take this the wrong way.
You aren't taking steroids are you? I ask because they have been known to cause the symptoms you are having. So, if you are. That is the cause.
Other than that I have never heard of bodybuilding causing any of those problems. If it continues, you may want to check with your doctor. :)

I'm a stay-at-home mom who likes to go to the park with my daughter and baby. I met a man last year who is a great-grandfather who takes his two great-granddaughters to the park every day (well almost). I thought he was really nice and friendly and my daughter likes playing with the girls. I've known him since last year, and we always make pleasant conversation and he offers my daughter and I treats. There is nothing going on between us, I am married and he is just a casual friend. The other day he snapped at me for no reason and I still can't figure it out. What's worse, he did it right in front of one of the kids. My daughter was talking to her friend about another friend from school who called her a "cry-baby" because my daughter said she was going to tell on her about something. I said " Why would she call you that? That means you cry a lot." Sam, (my friend) said "No it doesn't, it means you tattle on people." I said "I never heard it used that way." Anyways, this is a silly conversation, right? He suddenly got really angry and said "I've been around a lot longer than you and have heard what kids say in the schoolyard. You talk a lot, but you don't know shit!" Now, was that necessary, just because we had a difference of opinion about something stupid? I looked at him, totally shocked, and said. "I never said I knew everything." He said "You think you do." I just looked at him again, like I couldn't believe his attitude, and I said "This is a silly thing to get so uptight about." I don't know if he heard me. He just got up and started to play with the kids. He wouldn't talk to me after that, and I didn't talk to him. I know I should've said. "We are both adults. There is no reason for you to be so rude. We both have a right to our opinions, and this is a trivial thing. You are setting a bad example in front of the kids." I know I should've said something like this, but I was so shocked, I couldn't think of anything. I think that maybe he was mad at me about something else, and was just using this stupid disagreement as an excuse to vent. Or just having a bad day. What do you think? I don't want tension between us because my daughter and the girls are really good friends. Any advice? (link)
|
Sounds like hes had a bad schoolyard experience before.
I would try to let it go unless he brings it up again. He may very well apologise or just pretend it didn't happen next time you see him.
He may have been having a really bad day, not an excuse I know, but it happens.
Since you have known him a while and this is is the only time something like this has happened, I think something just rubbed him the wrong way.
Perhaps the holiday season has something to do with it also. :)

I have a huge problem.....I'm a failure at everything in life . All my previous friends have told me so and my whole family is CONSTANTLY telling me that I'm a failure. Even people who don't know me personally, tell me that I'm a failure when they hear about me. So , what they're saying (that I'm a failure) is true, since so many people have told me the same thing. Before, hearing that statement would motivate me to work really hard. And it would work because I would achieve my goals, temporarily. Now, whenever anyone tells me I'm a failure, it doesn't motivate me anymore. Instead, I get really sad and stay in my room alone and cry. I even skip going to college because I'm so sad and don't want to be annoyed by anymore people telling me the same thing. I already have depression and am taking medication for it, so hearing this statement from people doesn't help. Now my question is: HOW DO I GET OVER THIS? HOW DO I MOITIVATE MYSELF AND STAY MOTIVATED? HOW DO I PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT I'M NOT A FAILUTRE? Sorry for the long letter. Please, no smart alecs. (link)
|
First step you should probably take is to get with your doctor and see about a change of meds. Maybe the one you take now just isn't doing it for you anymore.
You aren't a failure at everything in life. You may not do everything perfectly, you may have to work harder at some things than another person would...that doesn't make you a failure.
You don't have to prove this to anyone else. You just have to believe it yourself.
Try to avoid thinking you are going to fail at things before you even give yourself a chance. If you let yourself believe you are a failure, you will probably fail. Try to have a more positive attitude.
Here are some positives to start you off.
Your letter was very well written....better than an awful lot written on this site.
You mention "previous friends", so hopefully that means you have dropped some people who are negative from your life.
You know you suffer from depression and have gotten help for that problem....big positive.
As I mentioned earlier, see your doctor and see if a med change would help. Try to believe in yourself and disregard what others say about you, just please yourself. :)

I have a question about a guy who I'm friends with. He had invited me and some other friends of his to celebrate his wifes birtday at a local restaurant.
Well I was the 3rd person to arrive and from the minute I sat down next to him and his wife he gave me attitude. He asked me a question and I thought he said "where's the gang", I aswered that they hadnt arrived yet. Then he YELLED at me and said "I SAID WHERES THE GIG"!
When everyone else had arrived (there was about 20 people) his wife started opening her gifts. When she opened my gift someone asked where the card was. I didnt get her a card, just a gift and he (her husband) snapped "there IS no card".
Well after this abusive behavior and no one defending me I went to the bathroom. When I walked out he came up to me. I told him I was leaving because I felt uncomfortable. He asked me if I would be going to another function with him and his wife the next day and I told him no I was going to my parents. Well then he did something that I thought was almost a little voilent. He stuck his face REALLY close to mine (like we could have almost kissed ) and said in a loud, mean, voice 'IM SO SORRY".
This really freaked me out. My question is why do you think he would treat me this way? And does that mean he might be a violent person? Also do I have a right to think he was being an asshole? (link)
|
Well, asshole is one of the words that came to my mind first!
I don't care who he is, his behavior was totally uncalled for. Why one of your other friends didn't stand up for you is beyond understanding too.
I would suggest that you don't attend anything else he puts on until he apologies with a good excuse (if there could be one), for his behavior.
I don't know if the guy is violent or not but, I don't think I'd waste any more time being friends with him. He had opportunity to apologise when he knew you were uncomfortable.
Next time he sticks his face in yours...go ahead and poke his eyes out. :)

This is just following up with Melanie's post on Mod discussion since I didn't want to stir it up again. You're a great contributor to this website and personally I'm thankful for you rating. There's one person complaining about not being rated enough and another complaining about being rated. Too many people take the ratings too seriously when it doesn't even begin to justify some of the advice given. ;) Again, I think its great that you rate brilliant answers (or not so brilliant ones) that are left to collect dust in someone's inbox. It really helps clean up? Advicenators. I believe all your ratings were perfectly justified and I'm rooting for you to please keep on rating and giving marvelous advice, I really appreciate it. JuicyGirl (link)

Thanks for your support JuicyGirl. :)
Nice to know I didn't piss everybody off! Actually, she is the only one who complained, thank goodness.
Dangernerd has decided to drop the mods rating for now. I will pass along your thoughts on the subject however. I think it will be back, just not sure how or when yet.
Again, thanks for the good thoughts, it kind of got me down and you cheered me up again! :)

My girlfriend and I live togehter and we both believe she is pregnant. She was told by her doctor years ago that she has endometriosis and that she coold not have kids. We had a scare several months back. She took 5 at home pregnancy test. 3 came back positive and 2 were negative. 2 weeks later she had her monthly cycle. She is now late again 2 months. She again has taken at home tests. All 5 have come back positive. We are pretty certain that she is but need a doctors blessing before we tell our families. Problem is that she has no insurance until mid January 06'. We cannot go through the holidays without letting our parents know. Do you know of any places close to or in Geneva IL. where we can get a doctors exam that will not cost us over $100. I have called several OBGYN offices and with no insurance it will cost atleast $135-$175.00.
(link)
|
If she already has a doctor she sees, she can ask if she can get a urine pregnancy test. Usually, if she has seen the doctor within the year, she can just go in and have the lab work done. No office call charge. No exam.
The exam can probably wait a month if need be. Unless she is having problems.
I would check the local phone book for a free clinic,or health department. Most health departments can run the test for you.
If all that fails, 135-175$ would be a good Christmas gift to each other. Split the cost and you know, and all you'll have to do is buy a couple of cards and the parents gifts are taken care of too.
Best of luck to you both. :)

Try writing her a long letter saying what you want her to know. Give it to her yourself, or have one of her friends that you trust give it to her.
Hopefully curiosity will get the best of her and she won't be able to resist reading it. :)
