2000 s-10 p/u 4.3 v-6 heater does'nt get very warm a/c gets very cold is this thermostat or will flushing radiator help? (Indeed)
|
It could be the thermostat, or it could be your heater core. It seems like this is a common issue with the s10.
First you should find out if the hose for radiator fluid going to the heater core is actually hot or not. If both hoses are not hot, then you have a problem. It might be a blockage to the heater core. You'll have to check and see, but be careful you don't scauld the hell out of your hands.
If you notice that the hose going in is not hot, it may be possible to flush out a blockage using your garden hose (but again, don't burn yourself). But be sure that this is actually the problem before you do anything. If you aren't sure, then visit a mechanic.
If you do decide to flush your radiator, heed the warnings that these guys have noted: http://www.techguys.ca/howto/coolant_flush.html
If you're double checking your thermostat, this might be helpful also

Part 1 What can causes the bleeding for a vergin during intercourse and Part 2 what can cause a sting or a sharp stinging sensation for her that is painful and can result in bleeding? (Indeed)
|
This question is pretty vague. Do you mean for a female having sexual intercourse for the first time? If so, the bleeding could be caused by the breaking of a previously unbroken hymen, or just stretching/tearing of the vaginal wall that would be normal for someone having sex for the first time (though lubricant would probably help loads). As for the second part, if we're still talking about a female's first sexual intercouse situation, that could likely be the same thing. Stretching/tearing of the vaginal walls, or the "breaking" of a hymen.
If you are considering or have recently had sex for the first time and are concerned about bleeding, do yourself a favour and see a doctor. When you're there, ask your doctor about suggesting gynocologists to visit and make sure they are aware that you are sexually active. It's responsible and safe to do so. (and it's better safe then sorry and you'll put your mind at ease if you know.)

Not that this needs to be figured out like, now, but I figured I'd ask you guys for your opinions. I'm 18/f, he's 20/m if it matters.
There's a dance coming up here, and I want to go, because I love dances - they're fun, and an excuse for me to get overdressed, lol.
The problem is my boyfriend really isn't much of a dancer. I don't really want to go alone. I hinted to him that there was a dance and my friend was trying to convince me to go, but he didn't really say anything on the subject.
So - I guess what I really wanna know is if I should ask him to come with me anyway, even though he doesn't really like dances, or if I should just go alone.
Please lay off the chatspeak. If I have to read your answer twice to understand it, you're not getting a five. (Indeed)
|
I think that (overgeneralization ahead) women seem to expect men to know. The key word here was "hinted." I personally do things like this all the time, and we just expect them to know what is going on. Truth is, they probably just don't, so I think we should start telling them straight up.
Tell him you don't want to go alone, even though you know he doesn't like dances, maybe he could come for your sake. I'm sure he's willing to make sacrifices to make you happy.
If he still says no, even after you've blatantly asked him to come, go alone and have a great time with friends. He'll be sad he missed the fun and quality time with you.
|
I hate to place such a long babblement on you, but I've always approved of your advice, so here goes.
Okay, so the issue at hand is essentially this: I like a guy, and he appears to like me. Or at least, he did.
My roommate kinda had a thing for this guy. But I started hanging out with him because we had a lot in common, and he sort of developed a crush on me. I hate to admit it, but my feelings for him kinda grew and I developed a pretty mutual crush on him.
He and I fooled around a little, I admit, but here's where it gets complicated.
He came to the dorm one time while my roommate was there, and we ended up laying on my bed talking.
My roommate proceeded to throw things at us and wholly piss us both off. She hit ME in the head at one point, and her friend was trying to get her to stop.
Since then, nothing has really happened with me and this guy.
I think he stopped because he doesn't want to deal with my roommate. Every single one of our friends, both his and mine, think there's more than just friendship between us.
Even our theory teacher, I think, knows something. We've come into class together a few times, we talk all the time, we're always the last to leave...
My issue is kind of this: On one hand, I'd like to continue whatever me and this guy have going...but I don't want it to escalate into a relationship because he's a good friend and I'm worried about losing the friendship.
So I guess my question is what should I do about this? Should I just let it go? I hate to admit that I'm attracted to him, but I am. My roommate is "kind of dating" someone else, so that's not a problem, really (it shouldn't be). I guess what I want is kind of a friends with benefits kind of thing, without it getting too complicated...
My first instinct is to talk to him about it, but I'm not sure that would pan out too well.
What do you think? (Indeed)
|
The problem with friends with benefits is that it indeed, is bound to get complicated. I honestly believe that even if you outline rules beforehand such as "no attachments" and whatnot, someone always seems to get attached, and that's when it turns ugly. Also, you mentioned that you wouldn't want to pursue a relationship because it would put your friendship at risk, but I think that casual fooling around with one another/other friends with benefits enjoyment would be more damaging and "weirding out" of your friendship than a relationship, because at least there, you would know where each of you stand. In my entirely humble opinion, I believe you should decide whether you like him enough to pursue a relationship beyond friendship, or stay friends, without the complications of benefits. Don't go halfsies, because I really think it will end up messy. You should consider choosing friendship or boyfriend, not the in between.
If you're afraid or unwilling to make the commitment of a relationship right now in your life - stay friends only, at least until you are ready to delve into something more.

O my gawd!! liek how do ii tell a grl i lyke her not liek like butt lyke like. (Indeed)

Once you've backed off the drug use (which is BAD), I suggest you coat yourself in honey, then run through a field of burrs.
After you are successfully burred - go hug her.
She'll understand perfectly.

ok thsi is going to sound really stupid...but i can not for the life of me figure out what that blue chalk stuff does. i mean i know you put it at the end of the stick, but what does it DO? why do you put it there? if i dont use it will it affect my game? i will rate you high if you are able to tell me! (Indeed)
|
The chalk helps with some friction between the cue stick tip and the cue ball. If you don't use chalk, you stand a greater chance of scratching (when the cue ball doesn't hit anything, or another player's balls) and your shot won't have as much spin as it could. Spin has all sorts of benefits.

I am 13 year old boy in the 7th grade and I met this incredible girl over the summer. I had asked her out, but she wasn't allowed to date, yet I got her phone number. I still wasn't sure if she liked me as I liked her. Because as school came around I felt closer to her.I asked her out again during school, yet she still couldn't date!!!!!!! We have our last period together and we sit next to each other. Neither of us are very social at that time. I don't know if she feels the way I feel because I can feel this in no crush... I am in love with her. I need advice on when to ask, her where to ask her, what to ask her to, and if she can go how should I dress and what should I bring. (Indeed)
|
If she's not allowed to date, you should hold back on asking her out. You don't want her to constantly have to keep reminding you, since that might annoy her or remind her that she really isn't allowed (possibly a tad depressing for her). I suggest you tell her that you care about her, but that you realize that you can only be friends and you're okay with that. If you truly do care about her the way you say you do, you'll understand that she can't help her parents decisions, and that you should be happy to simply be friends. Eventually, as time goes on, she will be allowed to date, and if you're friends, maybe you'll be the one she chooses, since you've been kind enough to be such a friend.
As for the rest of your question, if she finally is allowed to date, don't try to kiss her right away on your date (since you mentioned that you think about that, and really, if she's never dated before you might really scare her). Wear what you normally wear, perhaps slightly tidier, since it's you she likes, not your clothes (I'm sure you think the same of her). As for where to go, you're 13, so I think something fun would be a good idea. Like mini-putt or go-karting, so the situation isn't so incredibly pressure filled (those activities are fun and light, and are generally surrounded by people, which helps to glaze over those first-datey awkward situations.)

As dumb as this may sound, I didn't actually realize how horrible it is, when you eat chicken & hamburgers. I didn't actually understand the concept that for me to eat a hamburger, is for an innocent cow to just die. My friend sent me an e-mail with a video about fur trade in China, and how dogs & cats are skinned and killed everyday just for fur. But, it got me to thinking how horrible that actually is. I really have been thinking about it today, and I think just eating hamburgers & chicken is disgusting especially knowing that an animal died for that. I'm really considering turning into a vegetarian. Do you believe that this is a good enough reason to want to turn vegetarian? Thanks so much. ♥ (Indeed)
|
If you believe that for you personally, vegetarianism is what you want - then talk to your doctor. They will let you know what you need to supplement for, and what vitamins to take. They'll probably reccommend certain foods for you to eat, and explain to you all of the side effects of such a lifestyle change.
I don't reccommend you join PETA, as they are very extremist. However, you can of course do what you wish. Groups such as PETA are very focused on forcing EVERYONE to turn vegetarian/vegan, and that really isn't very nice. There are plenty of vegetarian groups that advocate choice, which is important.
I won't force a vegetarian to eat steak, and they won't force me to eat only lettuce. Simple as that. Just make sure you know the difference between advocating something, and forcing it on others.
Make sure you talk to your doctor and get all the information you need to keep yourself healthy, but at the same time happy with your beliefs.

Hey! I'm in my first year of college, and I'm having trouble. It's honestly hard for me to pay attention in class. All teachers do is lecture, lecture, lecture, give a test, and repeat it all over again. I TRY to pay attention and take good notes, but it's never good enough. I've failed half of my tests so far. And since I have 4 more tests coming up within the next 3 weeks, I'm really nervous about those too. You HAVE to do good on tests, because really, that's all your grade is. A bunch of tests.
Does any one have any good study tips for college? It's also hard because they don't give study guides like they did in high school, so I never know what material to study. I really don't know if college is for me. The way I passed high school with As and Bs was..I'd do all the work given, do bad on the tests, and it'd average out to a B. I'm not used to studying. I try, but it doesn't work. Any advice? Thanks. (Indeed)

I find that for me, the only way I really suck in (in a matter of speaking) all the information, is if I talk about it with someone else or a group. My university has tutorials, which are smaller groups, where pretty much all you do is discuss and debate course material. You wouldn't believe the difference it makes to just discuss what's been said in lectures. Personally, I simply don't retain enough information to do well with studying alone (I think I am just not a study-person), I'm more of a sponge. Find a friend or someone else in your class, and have a conversation relating to what's going on in your course, or just talk through things with someone else. It even helps if you try explaining what you just learned about to someone who wasn't in the class, like you're teaching them.
The things you repeat and discuss are the things you often remember.
|
okay I don't mind if I sound like an idiot. I need an answer.
My computer got a little screwed up, whether it was a virus or I did something either way I had to erase everything. Actually, it didn't do what it was supposed to do since everything is the same except for the fact that everything is huge. like my web browser, font and my all my icons are really big. I know there is a way to make them smaller but I haven't done it for so long I can't figure out how to do it. I'm sure its easy but i'll be damned if I can remember how to do it.
so yeah... anyone know what I'm talking about and care to help me out?

Right click on your desktop. Select "Properties". From there, select the "Settings" tab. On this tab you'll see a section called "Screen Resolution." There is a sliding scale, with an arrow that you can move across the scale. Mine is currently set at 1024 by 768 pixels, but it will depend on your screen, so you might need to fiddle around with the size a bit.
If this doesn't solve the problem, then try restarting. If things are still all screwey, there could be more exciting problems, and if you yourself haven't caused the problem, I'd run a virus scan just for the sheer fun and enjoyment of it all.

Not really a qustion but I'd like to say that.......
"General Advice Do or do not, there is no try. If you have to try, then it just isn't you. If you aren't sure if you should have sex with him, then you are not ready to have sex with him. "But I still love him!" Well he does not love you. If he loved you, he would not hurt you.".............

ok so i have been going out with this guy for a little over two weeks and the only thing we have done is hugged..ok so i wanna like hold hands ok and i dont no should i make the first move? just like grab his hand? lol i sound stupid but i really need help. thanks so much!!! (Indeed)

Well you could do it in a casual way. Such as during conversation putting your hand on his arm and such, then eventually moving your hand into his.
Or you could just do that straightforward approach and go for hand all at once. Either way, I'm sure he won't mind.

well, me and my xbest friend always would fight and then i said to her (calmly and sweetly), I don't think we should really be friends bc we're always fighting now and its OUR fault, so we just stopped being friends and it wasnt so bad...it was kinda peaceful. Now she's mad at me for being nice to her bc she thinks I'm trying to be her friend again. I told her i wasn't and that I just liked her shirt but she just said she didnt understand wat I said. Now she formed a club against me and it really bothered me bc I dont know who is in it and it could be my best friends I have now. My best friend said that we should make a club against her, but I said no bc thts retarted. So we made a club FOR me. Now I just want her to stop with her club but I'm not even supposed to know about it so I dont know how to approch her with this situation bc I might expose her best friend (who she likes) and I don't wanna hurt anyone. not even her. help me!!! (sry 4 the length) 13/f (Indeed)
|
whoa...
Okay. If you really don't want to stir up any trouble, maybe you should just forget about it. If you leave it alone, those girls will just feel stupid for creating such a silly little club. When they realize you don't care, they'll wonder why they bothered making a club to bother you in the first place. If she doesn't stop, you'll have to be mature about it and approach her. Tell her you realize that you can't be friends, but she is making herself an enemy, and you never intended on that.

how do you keep your skin so clear? (Indeed)
|
I have uneven skin tones, but otherwise, I will admit my skin is pretty good. I've never had much of a problem with acne to begin with, so that will affect my answer.
I only wash my face when I have a shower, because if I wash it all time, it gets incredibly dry. I use Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleanser, and that is all. Before switching to the Aveeno stuff, I used Neutrogena's skin cleanser for sensitive skin, but I found it reaaaally dried my skin out.
So... technically, I don't really do anything. I do not, however, wear any make-up, so I figure my pores have it pretty easy.

I need to annihilate your car answers.
Guys know cars because most of us are spewing out complete bullshit to seem like we know what everything is. 99% of guys who do stuff like that dont have a clue what they're talking about.
But, you'd also run into the odd guy that does know what they're talking about, like me. PS- I know more than your brother. I can't prove it, but I do know more than him.
Now, air conditioning/heaters. They do NOT use more gas. I hate this.
Heaters/AC in any car is run off any electricity produced by the battery and/or alternator.
The heater uses heat produced by the engine, and is brought into the cabin by electric fans. It also uses a seperate heating element. Think of it like the coils on an old stove.
The AC runs much like any other AC unit. NO GAS.
What it DOES do is take away electricity from the engine. What does that do? It causes the engine to work harder trying to make the same amount of power that it did before you turned it on. Struggling engines use more gas.
Fortunately, it's not a massive increase in gas usage. In fact, the fuel milage is hardly effected at all.
Cruise control has ups and downs when it comes to fuel usage.
Fuel injectors give engines a specific amount of fuel based on rpms. When you're in cruise control, you're running at basically the same rpm's the whole time. The computer is able to hold the rpms better than your foot is.
BUT, if you start going uphill... thats where you have your problems. The cars computer is too stupid to realize that horsepower does not pull a car, torque does. It automatically downshifts a gear and runs at higher rpms in order to get up the hill (assuming it's steep enough) when really, it should stay in the same gear it's in, or even go UP a gear. Torque is produced at low rpms. Horsepower is generally at high rpms.
You did a decent job at explaining this, but I felt the need to go deeper.
The rest of your answers sound either lifted from websites, so you did a simple google search, or you're just screwing with these people, to which I say "Oh Ernie, you amuse me. Props, homie!"

Did I do this right?
I'm going to put you to work here.
How do you meet people? Like, people of the non-male persuation.
How do you act "normal" without forcing the normal so much that you seem weird?
How do you fake confidence if you feel like you're not really worth it?
How do you believe your friend when they tell you how good you really are, when you don't think you are?
Assuming you meet someone, how do you go about asking them out?
Assuming they go for it, how do you go about not being nervous?
Assuming you're not nervous and it goes well (in your eyes) how long do you wait till you ask them out again?
Why don't I feel like I'm really worth it for any girl?
Why do I feel like people tell me I'm a good person just to make me feel better?
Why in gods name am I so cynical?
(Indeed)
|
Did I do this right?
- no.
I'm going to put you to work here.
- fuck. But okay.
How do you meet people? Like, people of the non-male persuation.
- Through other people for the most part. A friend of a friend kind of thing. Also, there is the whole stranger's meeting situation while out places.
How do you act "normal" without forcing the normal so much that you seem weird?
- You can't force yourself to be normal. And seriously what is "normal"? That is a really subjective term. Personally, I think the people that many consider "normal" to be very weird and unappealing. Do you really want to be the "norm" or would you rather be unique and still get to be yourself? But that might not be what you're implying by this vague and stupid question (I jest), maybe you want to know how to seem upbeat yet not over-caring about everything so you don't seem depressed yet at the same time don't seem overenthusiastic? I don't know. If you want to know how to go through a situation and maintain casual conversation without forcing yourself to "fit in" to the conversations and activities too much? Well, the best advice I could give for that would be just to talk when you have something to add, but listen during the times you don't have something to add. If you have no idea what the person is talking about, ask them to talk about it more and act interested, sometimes even if you're not. It's like humouring them for the sake of being polite.
How do you fake confidence if you feel like you're not really worth it?
- Do you think you deserve someone? Anyone? I think you think you deserve someone, otherwise you wouldn't bother searching. In order to get to the point where you can really be a part of a relationship (as opposed to someone's bitch because you are afraid of upsetting the relationship because you have no self esteem/confidence), you need to have the confidence in yourself that even if you don't have a full dose of self esteem, that you at least feel that it's worth it to TRY and improve. That in itself is a step in the right direction. So how do you go about "faking it" if you really don't feel like you're worth it? Well you just do it anyways. You talk to people, you initiate conversation, you keep your head up, you smile at strangers in a non-creepy way, you don't let the crappy inevitable things that happen bring you to your lowest. You stay resilient. I think everyone's confidence is technically fake, but if you tell yourself that you're going to make everyone else believe you're worth their effort and their time, you're on the right track.
How do you believe your friend when they tell you how good you really are, when you don't think you are?
- It really is up to you to just believe it. And if you really and truly deep down don't believe them, maybe you need to consider that you just have self-esteem problems and that even you can be wrong about yourself because you are given a really crappy perspective. You can't really force yourself to believe them, but Wes has often said that if you just pretend you believe them, eventually you might actually just start believing them. Honestly, I can't give a very good answer to this because I too struggle with what people tell me versus what I believe to be true about myself.
Assuming you meet someone, how do you go about asking them out?
- Hummm... if we're talking "asking them out on a date" as opposed to asking them out as in starting an actual relationship, you have to simply ask them if they want to get together with you. You can't really go about this without directly asking them, because the whole getting a friend to ask them thing is pretty 8th grade. If they see that you are confident (fake or not) to ask them to do something, then hey maybe they'll like that. So you just ask them.
Assuming they go for it, how do you go about not being nervous?
- Avoiding date-wrecking kind of nervousness can only be achieved (in my oh so humble opinion) by the unexpected hybrid of pessimism and optimism. If you think that worst case scenario, this doesn't work out - well then there "other fish in the sea" because you know what? There are. Relationships are what you make of them, and a lot of things are based on perspective. If you go into a date thinking "holy fuck if I screw this up I will die alone and wrinkly and all pure and stuff" well then, chances are that your sheer desperation to make it go well will make things go badly. If you keep a calm attitude about things, in a "there are other options, but it would be nice if I didn't need to explore them" way, you will most likely be a little less nervous, and little bit more capable of functioning like a normal human being that someone might want to date. A healthy amount of nervousness is going to be unavoidable, because that's just how people are. You're unsure, so you get nervous, but if you keep things in a positive light, you at least won't go crazy.
Assuming you're not nervous and it goes well (in your eyes) how long do you wait till you ask them out again?
- If you think things are going well as a date/outting/something is winding down, why not say "I think we should do this again, how about you?" Or something along those lines. I think that's best because you can probably tell if they don't have the same feelings, because they are right there and can't avoid telling you things to spare feelings or other stupid crap like that.
Why don't I feel like I'm really worth it for any girl?
- Because you refuse to realize that you fulfill what a lot of girls are looking for, yet what you lack is the confidence to pursue those girls. If you put yourself out on the line, you might find that you really are worth it (and you are).
Why do I feel like people tell me I'm a good person just to make me feel better?
- Because they think that you don't realize that you are, and it's a pretty rare thing. It's true, they probably are trying to make you feel better, but that doesn't mean they aren't right about what they're saying.
Why in gods name am I so cynical?
- You're inherently sociopathic? Or maybe you are jaded because the world is full of a lot of crappy and weird people. Or maybe you're just afraid, which happens to be how most other people are feeling. I am a very cynical person, but the polar opposite is creepy. We should both find happy mediums.
I'd like to direct you to some very good advice givers who are also male. Sometimes, I just can't give you the right perspective that you need. These are some very insightful people that I think would be more than happy to answer questions for you (shut up and take my advice)

Heyy .. well i'm kinda new at my school & there is this kid in my history class that sits by me & he always teases me but you can tell that he's just joking around & he always makes sure that he's looking me right in the eye & then he smiles at me.
His locker is right above mine & usually he doesn't talk to me but today after school he was like "come on hurry uppp get your stuff" & he was like kicking my shoes but you could tell he was just kidding. So I was wondering if you think he was just being friendly or if he might actually like me. Thanks for your help & I'll rate high! :)
(Indeed)

I'd wager a guess that by the way he's acting, yes he likes you.
