Hey everybody! I love to help people and I've been the designated advice-giver amongst my friends for years so I've gotten pretty good at it. If I haven't been through it, I know someone who has, so feel free to ask me anything! I just wish I had known about this site when I was younger and needed more advice of my own.

Is Phantom Planet the original artist of "California", or did they just remake it

If they did just remake it, who was the original artist

Thanks! (link)
Phantom Planet is the original artist. However, it is often wrongly refered to as a cover. Wikipedia explains why...

Al Jolson and his songwriting team are co-credited for "California", presumably because the title and chorus come dangerously close to his own "California, Here I Come". Some websites even (inaccurately) refer to the Phantom Planet song as a cover of the Jolson tune. Some parts of the song, particularly the piano solos at the beginning and end, are similar to the Jolson song, but still contain several differences in melody. The song was rerecorded in 2005 by Phantom Planet and re-released as "California 2005", a much mellower version of the song than the original.


Every day i have discharge, and i've went and got medications to get rid of it. I think its a UTI or a bladder infection but i'm not sure. I tried to take pills to get rid of it but i can't swallow them. I've had this discharge for years, and when me and my boyfriend get done having sex some of it sticks to his private area. He doesn't seem to mind it much, but i feel terrible about it. I just want it to go away, but it won't. I take a shower almost everyday, and i'm a clean person. Any advice? (link)
You don't really have discharge with a UTI. It's more of a horrible burning when you go pee and there may be blood in your urine. It could be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. They are similar so the only way to really know is to have the discharge tested. If you have been tested and treated for something, but it keeps coming back, your boyfriend may need to be treated as well. Some times you can get rid of an infection and then the next time you have sex, you get it back from your partner. Men don't usually show any symptoms, they are just the carriers. Is there any odd smell to the discharge? Or does it hurt at all when you have sex? Those are both good ways to tell that there is an infection. Also, remember that all woman have a little discharge and that doesn't mean anything is wrong. It should always be a bit moist down there and you'd probably be ever more uncomfortable if you were really dry. I'd say the best thing to do is see a gynecologist. That is the only way to really find out what it is.

Good Luck!


I am looking for a fleece blanket. It has two pockets for your feet on the underside at the bottom. It also has a small pocket on the outside for a remote control. Apparently it is also possible to have a name embroidered on it just above the remote control pocket. Please let me know where I can find these. I am wanting to give one as a gift. Thanks in advance.

Those blankets seem to be called Cuddle/Cuddler or TV blankets. Here are a couple links...

If you don't like any of those, try typing "Cuddler fleece blanket" into Google. Several other pages came up.


So i saw this music video first on the n. After a show ended and it was by this band. What happened in the video from what i can remember is their was a guy and he was walking through a playground and when he passed the playground,the trees and stuff would like turn into gray ash or something. i think the video had to do with some relationship. But i also saw it on mtv but i can never catch the name of the song or the artist. So if anyone knows, please help. (link)
Sounds like you're looking for The Spill Canvas - "All Over You"

Here is the video...

I am currently on Amoxicillan (very mild antibiotic) and i have to take it every eight hours. i took my last dose at 4:45 pm and now it is 12 midnight. is it alright for me to take it a little bit earlier?? (link)
Taking an antibiotic a little early or late is fine. You may want to just take it with a little food or a glass of milk so you don't get an upset stomach.


I want to customise some m&m's for my friends 17th birthday but i live in australia and the american site doesn't ship here does anyone no if i can get them over here??????
Thanx (link)
You have to contact a service representative at 1.888.696.6788 to discuss whether it is possible to ship the candies to your international address and, if so, the associated shipping costs. It may be pretty expensive though because they add an extra $20 just to ship to Alaska and Hawaii!


Ok, for science class, we have to present a visual presentation about global warming. Almost EVERY one is doing a power point or a video, so I figured i'd try something more fun and different. I like to draw, especially cartoons, so I thought i'd draw a cartoon strip of some sort that is cute, funny, but still gets my point across, about global warming. Any ideas? You can get into depth if you want, or not. I'm just stuck here lol. And it HAS to be appropriate for the classroom ;] thanks! :D (link)
Maybe you could have a couple different single cell comics (like Gary Larson does). A few ideas...

Have a couple sitting on their deck in front of the ocean talking about how great there new ocean view is. In the background have a sign that says "Welcome to Vermont." This will illustrate the effects of the ocean rising.

You could have Polar Bears or penguins sitting in a tropical rain forest drinking fruity drinks (because the polar ice caps have melted).

Or maybe you could show Santa sitting in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt saying "Global Warming? No complaints from me!"

Hope those help spark your imagination!


whats the song in the commercial for the Motorola Razer2, its the one where theres a girl and a guy in the subway station and they are like having a "fight" and cutting of each others clothes with their cellphones. thanks:) (link)
That song is "Le Disko" by Shiny Toy Guns. Great song. Here is the video on YouTube...

There is this young lady that I am in love with and i think that she has something for me. We have stopped speaking mayby 4 times but each time we found each other. when I am out and around I can see her looking at me or when we step into a room no matter where or how many people we always spot each other. Lately thing have been rough between us.. I was talking to her and somehow no matter how hard I try someone is always around do not like that too much any.. This morning I sent the Good morning email and she responded. " FINE I DO NOT WANT TO UPSET YOU BUT I DO NOT FEEL LIKE TALKING, HAVE A GOOD DAY' I RESPONDED "ONE QESTION THOUGH, DO YOU NOT FEEL LIKE TALKING OR NOT TALKING TO ME' AM i READING TOO MUCH INTO THIS. BECASUE i FEEL BAD NOW.. (link)
I don't think you should take this personally. It seems like she was just having a bad day and wanted to be left alone. If she was upset with you, I don't think she would bother saying "I don't want to upset you, but..." She would probably have ignored your email or been more rude about it. Give the girl some space and let her work though her bad day. Then, tomorrow or the next day, ask her if she is feeling better and let her know that you are there if she needs to talk. Leave it at that though. She might not want to get into it. We all need some space some times. Good luck.


What is that song played in the end of the episode of America's Next Top Model... when someone goes home AND/OR when the winner of ANTM is chosen... Both of them I want to know. :]

Thanks i would gladly appreciate it. :) (link)
I believe the song you are referring to is "Free-For-All" by Nick Nolan. There is a YouTube video that uses it so you can see if it's the correct one here...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZMKPy5-C1s


Also, you can download it for free here...

http://www.mediafire.com/?1nn1m45xhz5

Many people have commented saying the download is safe, but I have not tried it myself.


Where can i watch all of the episodes? And don't tell me youtube, please. I already tried it. It was on ABC Family from 2005-2006. I LOVED that show but they canceed it!!! And i was in the 5th grade then (8th now) so i didnt know anything about recording tv shows. please help. (link)
Well I doubt you will be able to find it online for free, but they do have it on dvd. Here it is on Amazon...

sometimes movie theaters give out free posters for a particular movie. does anyone know if there is a pattern to this? if i wanted a poster of this movie that is coming out, how would i know when they will be giving them out in the movie theater? what if i wanted a movie poster of a recent movie that is already out? or can you only get posters that just came out on the same day or the newest movie or something? (link)
I used to work at a movie theater and we had a list where we could sign up to get movie posters. It was hard to get the good ones because someone usually already had dibs on it. You can try asking someone at a theater, but you might have better luck looking on the internet. I've seen many on ebay.


who is the wr it er to the poem that goes like this


One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

One was blind and the other couldn't see
So they chose a dummy for a referee
A blind man went to see fair play
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

A paralyzed donkey passing by
Kicked the blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a 9 inch wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all

A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the 2 dead boys
If you don't believe this story's true
Ask the blind man, he saw it, too!

There is no known title or author. This is a folk rhyme which was prevalent in Victorian England. It appears to have evolved from the folksongs of the British Isles and it's been around in some form since the Middle Ages.


I have severe nose descongestion since forever. I used this nasal spray containing HCL or w/e and some doctor told me not to use it any longer as it is harmful but I cannot breathe without it when I am trying to sleep. Now I am sick and I have to keep waking up every 3 hours to spray some more of the stuff into my nostrils even though it is not a good idea to use it for more than 3 days as it says behind the bottle. I don't even know what that means. Does anyone have a similar problem and a solution to nasal decongestion? (link)
My mom has trouble breathing when she sleeps, so she got some of those Breathe Right Nasal Strips and they worked great for her.


I have a question a big one(for me)
so heres the question:

What happened to miley stewart's (not miley cyrus) mother? (link)
According to Wikipedia:

"Miley's mother died four years ago in a plane crash over New Mexico, leaving singer-songwriter Robby broke and a widower and the sole caretaker of their children, giving up his previous career as a famous country singer."

(link)
There is a Germansville, PA, but his house is probably in Germantown, NY. It is right along the Hudson River about 1 hour south of Albany, NY.
