Does anyone know of a reliable, free file host? I need it to host mainly animated gifs, mp3s, and jpeg files. If anyone knows a good one, please reply. Thanks! (Indeed)

www.fotki.com
www.brinkster.com

Both of those are great but since they are free do have some uploading size limits and a maximum that you can use. Which is understandable since its free. These are easy to use and you dont have to pay a cent for them. These two sites in particular though have large size limits which is really great and thats why I've suggested them for you. Goodluck!

The second hand store would be a gold mine for 80's stuff.

As for pictures, you were right, it is tough to find examples of 80's styles.

Heres all of what I found (which isnt much, sorry!)

I'm 15 and weigh 110 pounds. I think that's OK for me, because I'm about 5'3". But, some of my family thinks that I'm anorexic, just because I don't eat a lot of meat & stuff at family gatherings. Like, my grandma will be like "Oh I'm so glad you're actually eating!" When I'm like the biggest pig! I hate people thinking that I have an eating disorder, what should I do? (Indeed)

I completely relate with you. Family and friends can be really really stupid when it comes to the comments they make. My friends used to say 'I hate you because you are thin and I'm not.'

Gee sorry didnt know I owed it to you because I just am how I am.

I'm really glad to hear that you are okay with how you are, because clearly you are okay with what you look like/weigh and thats awesome.

A lot of crazy people are going to judge you before they even see your eating habits and thats a sad fact. When people make comments about how I eat I tell them that I probably consume more food then 2 of them put together and then I laugh. I'll explain to them that my metabolism is very fast and I will grow out of it eventually and then all my bad eating habits will of course catch up to me! And I tell them to check up on my weight in ten years and I will be very surprised if I dont weigh 1000lbs.

Other times, when people I dont like so much make a comment on my weight or my eating habits I will say quite bluntly - "I'm not anorexic, but you on the other hand, are rude. Clearly you have never seen me eat."

And I leave it at that.

For my family, I just over and over again assure them that I eat plenty and that I'm not anorexic and I'm healthy.

Dont change how you are though and decide it would make everyone happier if you ate more. I thought that way briefly. Dont change who you are to make other people happy if you are happy with yourself.

GOod luck! :D




My friend thinks that she is addicted to smoking, but she has only been smoking for about a week. Could she really be addicted or is she being stupid!!? (Indeed)

Your friend probably has it into her head that shes addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes. Yes she is being stupid for having smoked in the first place.

Its expensive, gross, makes your teeth and fingernails yellow, gives you horrendous breath, sagging wrinkles on your face, can develop emphazema, and the very common lung cancer.

Its going to kill her, one way or another if she does not quit.


The money thing is disgusting - it is so expensive.
For example:
A pack of cigarettes where I live costs 8$ on average.

Lets say your friend smokes only a pack a week (which is pretty minimal compared to people who smoke a pack a day)

In 1 month that is 32$, in two months 64$ BUT now she is going to up how much she smokes because the more you smoke, the more you want a cigarette (because of the addictive poisons in cigarettes)

SO lets say shes upped her cigarette intake to a pack a day.

thats 56$ a week. 224$ a month. 3024$ after 54 weeks.

Lets say she continues smoking for another 20 years. After 20 years she dies from lung cancer.

So after 20years she has spent $60,480 on cigarettes alone. And what is reward? Death.

Make your friend quit this thing now.

Even if she isnt addicted yet, she will be very soon.




i really want these shoes that so cool and my mom wont get them for me how can i convince her to get them before monday april 13th 2004 (Indeed)

You probably cant/shouldnt try to force your mom to buy you the shoes since its her money. Maybe if you ask her really nicely and tell her you're going to take really good care of them and maybe do some extra chores around the house for her she might consider it.




a cat peed on my daughters play pen while in storage, how can I get the smell to go away? (Indeed)

You should probably throw the play pen out unless you can be positive you have sanitized the play pen completely and in this case, you may be able to miss some bacteria etc. So your best bet is to throw it out.

Cat feces and urine can cause a lot of diseases in humans such as Toxoplasma (Mild flu-like symptoms unless immune suppressed (in whom it may cause ocular and neurologic disease). Infection in a previously uninfected pregnant woman can result in prenatal infection of the developing fetus, which can result in birth defects.), Cryptosporidia (Self-limiting diarrhea except in immuno-compromised people where it can be quite severe. No treatment.), Giardia (Diarrhea +/- other systemic signs.), Campylobacter (Acute gastrointestinal illness; diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever. Clinical signs are generally brief and self-limiting. Usually responds to specific antimicrobial therapy.) and of course Ringworm (Ringworm is usually self-limiting, often circular with reddened rough skin. Responsive to prescription topical therapy.).

All this and more await you or your daughter if you arent able to destroy all of the cats bacteria that may be lingering.

Ask your doctor or veteranarian for more information or about effective cleaning methods if it is possible.




i have a horse and i really love her but shes getting to much for me to handle my mum says i shold sell her and choose another career and she wont let me have another horse if we sell this one and there doesn't seem to be anyone to help me (Indeed)

You have a horse?! I want a horse what the hell.


But seriously, this horse is your responsibility and if you can't really handle that responsibility then the only creature who suffers is your horse. What cant you handle? Maybe there is a way to fixing that or working it all out so that you can keep your horse. Do you have any friends that really like horses and would maybe want to come and help you for free?

Or is this 'too much to handle' the riding the horse does now that its getting older? You really cant keep the horse if you cant ride it because its not fair to the horse not to be ridden and cared for. If you have to sell your horse and your mother wont let you have another one then you'll have to face that fact. Later in your life you might be able to buy a horse of your own, since your mother wont be making your decisions forever.

Definitely consider giving the horse to someone you know well and who you are certain will treat this horse very nicely.




Hi I am someones friend and Im using there computer and I really need to ask a question but theya re sleeping so I just decided to ask anyways....

Well I hate myself and I tried hanging myself like 3 times.. am I crazy?? (Indeed)

You have a friend that cares about you. Dont end your life, go hug your friend instead.




Can some one give me an average age of getting a boy friend? (Indeed)

There is no set age. A lot of young kids have boyfriends/girlfriends but those relationships really usually mean nothing at all. More meaningful relationships come later when you are actually mature.

I'd say the mature and real relationships usually happen around 16-18, but of course there are some really stupid and useless relationships in that age frame too so ya know what - dont limit yourself. If you think you are interested in a person, be nice to them and see what happens.




Ok I can not stand this girl at my school she is a total b****!She thinks that she is popular but she isn't she is sooo mean tooo everyone.I was friends with her but then I started to date her ex- and she got so mad!!!!And she already got a boyfriend after she dumped her ex-!I just can't stand her!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!
signed,
HELP (Indeed)

Be a bitch right back at her. People deserve what they dish out.




what does offside mean in hockey? (Indeed)

Offside in hockey is when a player from the opposite team goes in past the blue line before the puck does.




before i go what is a good paint price for a gallon? i dun want to get rippwd off (Indeed)

the beauty of home depot is that they offer a large amount of different brands of paint. I cant really give you an exact amount but you try browsing the different brands and take a look at the prices. Ask the clerk which is the best buy and value.




i havre a room and i dont know what color to paint it.. what do you think

my fav color is hot pink but everything i have is hot pink so i cant use tat. (Indeed)

Hmm thats tough since I'd say you should pick a colour that goes nicely with hot pink but really the best choice for that is black. You should definitely not paint your room black, it will make it look small and dark. Kinda like a tiny dungeon.

How about painting your room a really rich green colour. Not too dark and not too pastel.

If you live near a home depot I suggest you stop in and check out their amazing array of colour selection! You can take a few of those sample cards and make a good decision.




Marry me immediately

please! (Indeed)

Sorry but I'm taken and quite happily.





O.K there is this boy that likes me. I don't like him but I feel bad... Like how do I say no without hurting his feelings? I had already told him no but he keeps asking me out... I need help! (Indeed)

You can only tell the truth. If you dance around the truth he might get the wrong idea and you'll end up hurting him even more. Just be honest, it may hurt him now but its better in the long run.




Hello,
well i am really good at singing and i really want to be a singer when i grow up. Could someone tell me how i would get a cd out or any websites that have like a singing contest???!?!!? I really really love singing and i think i could do it so please answer back. (Indeed)

You've got to get out there and weigh your options. Also, how old are you?

Get involved in musicals within your community, you probably have a theatre group that does plays and other things like that. Just get out there and be known for singing talent, the more people know about your awesome talent, the better chances of someone knowing someone or telling someone who could really hook you up with some big time contracts etc.

Check out this site. http://www.fashionrocknow.com/events/sendform.cfm?src=GoogleMuOSS2

If its your dream then you should be trying every option. Make sure you take courses at school for music!




My friend got fingered by a guy, and she has had her period. I was wondering can you get pregnant from being fingered. Does that also mean ur a no a vergin anymor?? PLease write back thanx (Indeed)

Umm actually. Hate to burst everyones bubble but yes it is possible to get pregnant from fingering. If the male has sperm on his finger and it enters the females body well then - there is sperm in the body.

Obviously if there is no sperm on his hand then there is not chance of pregnancy but if he has sperm on his hand than yes, she has the possibility.

This is why you should be doing things without actually understanding what you are doing first.

Shes still a virgin, not so much physically, since there has been entry but technically sex is the defining virginity deal.




In our school, we have teams that everyone is seperated on each year. We dont usually associate with the other teams. This year my best friend and I were put together...but next year, we won't be. I know everyone says that I will make new friends, but it is the hardest thing in the world, because I will never see the person that means the most to me! What can I do? I feel really empty inside...I can't live without seeing her everyday! We won't be in the same hallway or anything, not even the same classes! Now what? (Indeed)

What the hell kind of school separates the kids into teams?!

Is there any rule that says you can't talk to your best friend? Because if not then there is of course after school time right!

You have to make the effort and not just give up because your best friend isnt plopped right in front of you. If you arent willing to make the little extra effort than maybe your friendship isnt as strong as you may have thought.

Do it, make that extra effort.




Hey I have a question it seems no matter where I go I hear a song by Hilary Duff and I see her on Tv. Naturally I have nothing against her or for her. Now What is so great and what isn't? Don't tell me she is a good role model because a good role model would encourage a person to be comfortable with themselves and she isn't example: height. Think about your future example Bys a 400 dollar vintage shirt for a "BOYFRIEND" so just comments would be great.


Cspinoza1 (Indeed)

Younger people are really easily influenced by something thats considered popular. If everyone has it - they want it. Everyone embraces the Duff stuff (including the music and movies and of course Stuff her clothing line). A lot of young teens think that they have found a really good role model because she has yet to cross over to the uber slut side of media. but of course, most expect that that is only in due time.

I think kids should have role models like their mothers and fathers, teachers and other people, tangible people. That way kids can actually have role models that will lead them on a personal level.

I have yet to see things out of Hilary Duff that screams 'positive role model' but its not like she is a negative one either. Kids really take a liking to things that are in their face and you just cant get Hilary Duff out of your face.

By the way, I really dont see how being a good singer or actress makes you automatically a good role model. A role model is someone with positive morals and values, not a good pipes and acting lessons. SOrry but that doesnt really constitute a role model in my books.
