The_MoUsY_spell_checker's Advice Column

The bar at the bottom of the screen (the one with the windows, the start option, etc.) has been made vertical and is up against the left side of my screen. There is only a left right arrow for making it bigger sideways, and there is not one for verticalness. I want it to be back at the bottom of the screen like usual.


Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Just drag it back to the bottom of the screen. Click it and move the cursor while holding down the mouse button.

I am racially Jewish.

As far as my faith goes? I'm not quite sure. I was raised thinking Jesus is the true Messiah, not not worshiping him, per say. My father's side of the family has a lot of Jewish traditions woven in with Catholic ones.

I think Christians worship Jesus INSTEAD of God, and I don't think that's right.

I DO NOT want to be a Jew for Jesus. I'm sorry, I'm not praying in a highschool gym. Its not going to happen. I've prayed in both churches and synagogues, because I just say, "Hey, its the same God, right?"

But the way of worshiping Him is quite different. I have no idea who I am, where I fit, or where I should go to pray.

As far as I know, Christians worship "God", but in Christianity, God is a trinity of the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit, meaning that God is all three of the above at the same time, so they believe that Jesus is God, or at least part of God.

If you don't know where to go to pray, you can always pray on your own. The most important thing is that you actually believe in whichever god you pray to. You should read about both Christianity and Judaism. The understanding should help you decide.

okay theres the link for the picture of whats goingon with my computer,i typed about the taskbar before and you guys helped but it didnt work for me.So if anyone knows whats wrong with it please tell me how to fix it! theres also like these dots on there that look like two bars with 3 dots on each side my sister said they are language bars.I need help ASAP its like taking up my whole computer screen! thank you!

Point the mouse cursor at the edge of the bar. It should change from the normal arrow into arrows pointing up and down. (If not, right click the bar and make sure there is no check mark next to "Lock the Taskbar") Drag it down until it is back to the normal size. After that, you might want to lock it so that you won't accidentally resize it again.

I am 5'9'' and I weigh 160 pounds. I lift weights, and have been going to the gym, but I have an awful habit of eating. Whenever I am near food, I go crazy, and eat everything in sight. Is there some mental exercise I can do to help this? And how many pounds should I try to lose?

Chew gum to keep your mouth occupied. Don't keep snacks at home so you won't be so tempted, and so if you want to eat something you'll at least have to get out of the house to buy it.

Also, whole grains and vegetables keep you full for longer, so eat more of those for your normal meals, and avoid sweets because they give you an energy spike and then you'll be hungry again quickly. Drinking more water also keeps you full.

Your body mass index is within the healthy range, and if you lift weights, chances are that a lot of your weight is muscle, so you don't really need to lose weight, so don't try to lose too much.

Well I don't have photo shop but I want to photoshop my pictures. Does anyone else know how?

Get the GIMP from http://www.gimp.org, and get familiar with what the functions are called.

If you want ideas on what you can do with the different functions, search on Google for Photoshop tutorials, and you should be able to follow them because the names of the functions are similar.

Ok, my best friend is having a pool party at the end of the school year. I know it's far off but there are supposed to be a TON of people there. The problem is, I don't have much of a chest. I mean there's something there, just not alot of something. I want to wear a bikini but I don't know what type of top is gonna make my chest look a little more curvy. Help, I will rate 5's.

Go for a demi-bra or bandeau top with colourful prints or details. Those will make your chest look bigger.

If that's not enough, get something with padding.

I have this talking problem
I talk way too fast and my words stumble over each other
It is just a habit
How can I stop this?

I have this problem too. A good way to improve your speaking is to practise speaking at a normal pace.

Reading things out loud should help. Choose something with big words that aren't so easy to pronounce, and focus on the pronunciation.

Also, when you write something, read it out loud as you write. Even if you write quickly, doing this should slow down the pace which you speak.

This is really random, but what's V8 juice like? What's the texture and taste? What's it made of? Is a can of it a full serving of vegetables? I've never tasted V8 juice.

According to the Wikipedia article on V8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_%28beverage%29), it contains the juices of tomatoes, beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress, and spinach.

The V8 site (http://www.v8juice.com/default.aspx) claims that a can of it contains a full serving of vegetable.

If I remember correctly, it tastes like tomato juice with carrot, and it's quite watery - there isn't much pulp in it. I'm not really sure because I tried it once before and I didn't really like it so I haven't had any for a long time.

Heylo. I just got out of a 9month relationship about 3 days ago. I haven't eaten anything in 2 days and a half. I don't have any eating disorders. I'm already underweight as it is. I dont know what to do. I've tried eating but I get so nauseous. I've puked about 6 times already. I tried soup, ice cream, salads, hot meals..and it makes me so sick.
Any foods that you suggest I try? I'm starving..but the food I usually eat...taste HORRIBLE and i cant keep it in my stomach. How long can you go without eating (but you're drinking water) before you get really sick?

If you can't keep anything down, you're probably already sick even if you don't think so. (and it would be a good idea to get medical help just to be safe)

At least, you should try to eat something, but not too much at once. I suggest that you try something like toast, rice, or cereal.

i have read coloumns in magazines saying if you excersise too much it is damaging your body. is this true? i excersise at a gym for about 4 1/2 hours each week. i also do 30 mins of cardio at home. am i doing too much?

I don't think 4 1/2 hours of gym a week is too much. As long as you stop when you're tired or if you've hurt yourself, you'll be fine.

Well, I really only want answers from people who are experienced or if you know somebody that can help. Sites with information might be nice, too.
I want to start a community on live journal, but I can't really make layouts. So I have two questions..
*How do I make layouts for live journal?
*And how do you really start to make a communitym like make it good?
Thank you so much for anybody that can help!

What do you need to know that the LJ FAQ doesn't cover?

Most importantly, you need a paid account to make styles. Without a paid account you can only use overrides which don't really give you much control.

i was just wondering what people think of glasses. do you find them nerdy or attractive? i have to wear glasses fullo time and i am wondering if contacts are the way to go or should i wear glasses but i dont want to seem like a four eyes freak. any inputs are appreciated.

The most important thing is whether you like the way you look with glasses or not. I like the way I look without glasses better, but I also know some people who I think looks better with glasses. Of course, this is probably because I'm used to seeing those people with glasses. If you've been wearing glasses for a long time, it's likely for people around you to think that you look strange without them because they are so used to seeing you with glasses.

Also, you should consider other things such as whether contacts would be more trouble for you. They can be irritating if you wear them for too long, especially when you're tired.

what kinds of foods should i avoid if i want to get a flatter stomach ?

It's more important to watch how much you eat rather than what you eat. Avoid junk food in general, especially soda and other flavoured drinks. (Fresh juice is alright, but it's best to just drink water)

It also helps if you don't sit down for at least half an hour after a meal.

Is there any websites that have pictures of shorthair styles? I've tried searching but all I get is these sites with a billion pop ups and it freezes my computer.

How's this page?
http://www.short-hair-style.com/hair-style-pictures.html
(There are links on the page to more pictures)

If you want more, try searching on Google image search instead of regular search so that you only get images and not pages that might have pop-ups. It would be a good idea to get a pop-up blocker too.

I like the look of iPod minis 'cause they have a pink one but a couple of Q's...

1) Is an MP3 player better????
2) Are iPod mini's effective?
3) Are they easy-to-use?
4) Are they worth the money?
5) How many songs do they hold?
6) Can I get different headphones for them?
7) Do they ever freeze up like computers?

An iPod mini can hold 4 GB, which is about 1000 songs. However, the iPod mini is discontinued so you'll have to get it second-hand if you want one.

They're fairly easy to use, especially the software for transferring songs from your computer. I think iTunes is easier to use than the software given with other mp3 players.

However, I don't think they're worth the money because the quality of the iPod hardware isn't that good, so they're prone to problems. They freeze up easily, even if you don't drop them. The headphones aren't that good either (but you can get other headphones for them if you want).

well im going on vacation very soon to a place very warm where we'll be swimming and such. around that time my period is due..i dont use tampons..what should i do?thanks

Did you know that you can still swim even if you have your period and you don't HAVE to use a tampon either? Just make sure you get in the water as soon as you change into your swimming costume and that you change back into your normal clothes as soon as you get out of the water. The blood won't come out when you're in the water.

(I always do this myself, so I know it's alright)

Of course, if you plan to sit around in your swimming costume then you'll have to use a tampon.

Search on Google (hint: look up the name of the artists that you like and see if they offer any samples on their sites.), del.icio.us (this might be better than Google since the links are tagged by users) or a P2P file sharing program like Limewire (however, it is illegal to download copyrighted material, so use at your own risk).

By the way, it's Mousy, not "Mousey".
