I know how to make an animated picture, but when i put it on my photography site, it gets all fuzzy with ugly little dots when it does the animation. Heres the link if you want to check it out http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=163442625.But when i clicked on the picture to look at it the fuzzy things were gone, so its only on the viewing page. If its not like that im sorry for asking this question, and maybe its just my computer, but if it does can someone help me out?

Go to www.blibs.com

Under animation you can do that.
And make sure you resave it, then upload it :]

Good luck!

i'm going to cedar point and i'm the type to go on big rollar coasters....i want to take my camera and some money w/ me. but i dont know how to hold the camera and the money. i cant put them in my pocket cause it'll fall out. i dont want a dumb fanny pack or somtin..any ideas?

A messenger bag would be perfect. It can fit everything in it, and maybe put the camera and money in a plastic bag in case there are water rides.

I got a bank account about a year ago, and you know how your supposed to make up a signature? Well, I did. Its five letters long, ugly, very easy to copy. Is there a way to change it without getting a new bank account? I am with Bank of California, and I have a savings account, and I am 16 if that helps.

Thanks =)

PS. If it's not possible to change it, do you think I could gradually make my signature a bit fancier until it develops into a new one?

You can ask the bank if you can,just tell them it is for safety reasons.

You can gradually change it over time- I did that:].

Good luck!

I was wondering If I could get some feedback/advice on my college essay. School is out and won't be back till after I apply to some schools so I can't get an english teacher to read it and I think its kind of personal and I would rather not my parents read it. so here it is.. thanks!:

Walking into my child development class, it took less than a few minutes before a child was calling for my attention. These eager to learn, bright-eyed 3 year-olds came in during October to learn from me, and left in May teaching me more than I could ever as for.
Before taking Child-Development, or even before high school, I was very unsure of myself. Looking back, I see my old-self, an awkward pre-teen trying to fit in and be that ‘pretty, popular girl’. I knew I would never have the most expensive clothes, the biggest house or be the most beautiful, and that killed me inside.
During class I was taught to build their self-concept. I often said to myself, “How can I teach these kids confidence, when I don’t even feel it myself?”
I have grown to believe the statement, “You can learn many things from children.” Those 3 year-olds, no matter what got in their way that day, whether they had a runny nose and didn’t feel like coming, or they were upset because someone broke their favorite toy, they were always open to whatever was presented to them. They accepted each other with value as an individual. One particular instance that really stood out to me was between two of the boys this past spring. Calvin, a shy blonde-haired boy, was crying under the jungle gym. Without hesitation, Josh the oldest and most outgoing boy, approached Calvin, asked him what was wrong, and asked him to play. I found this instance particularly special because these two children have never played together or befriended each other before. Josh, without hesitation, saw an opportunity to help someone, and acted. This act was not uncommon in my preschool either. The dozen energetic children I worked with were the most accepting, non-judgmental people I have ever seen. Not only did each and every one of them treat each other with respect and patience, but they took in us as their ‘teachers’ and put their full trust in us.
Angela Schwindt had said, “While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” With that, if they could live me unconditionally, why couldn’t I? I began accepting others and seeing others for their gifts over their flaws. Most importantly, I began to believe in myself and develop my own self-concept. I stopped worrying about whether I was having a bad hair-day or if my outfit was perfect because none of that mattered to them. I was perfect the way I was. With this I had a high level of confidence and broke out of my shell. From them I learned to live, and to teach others to love as well.
Those sometimes overwhelming, but always loving 3 year-olds are the main reason I live my life the way I do today, and the main reason why I love, and always will want to continue teaching. “He who teaches children learns more than they do.”

That is amazing. I do not think anything can be changed, or improved. It is seriously and honestly- perfect. There is good description, and I like the quote at the end, it gives it a very person touch!

Bravo!

hokayy.
here goes.
i like a guy.
everyone tells me i shouldnt.
cause hes a major player.
but he understands me like no other.
ive hung out w/ him a couple times.
it was hella fun.
my closest friends say go for it.
everyone else says no.
but next time i see him.
im gonna tell him how i feel.
i get mixed signals though.
now hes no virgin.
hes gonna be 15 in a couple days.
i turn 14 in january.
:D
i just dont know.
help?

He probably acts that way with all his last girlfriends. He is a player, and he does not deserve a nice girl like you. I am sorry- but he just is not going to do anything for you. Do not tell him how you feel- you can remain friends if you want, but he is a player- end of story.

My puppy is sick =[
Shes had her prvo. shot, so its not that. Shes been puking since saturday. We thought bc of the heat and she was outside bc we were having a party. But shes still puking. She ate yesterday, some hot dog. And her puke was like hard, you know like regular dog puke. And today its watery, Meaning she doesnt have anything in her tummy. Anyone have an idea of whats wrong?.. Dont say go to a vet, bc we dont have the money right now.. and I just want an idea of what might be wrong.. Thanks

There is no other choice- you HAVE to go to the vet, becaue your dog's life could be at risk. I know you dont have money, but you have to take your dog if you love her. Hurry!, before it is too late.

does anybody have any tips on writing a good song?

Like Jack said below me- use experience- and words you understand. Make is different, put a twist on words- use word play- just let the pen and paper do the talking. It is much easier to write what you know, and only that:]

Good luck.

painkillers are like drugs i guess. well i was just sitting here and thinking do they stay in your system like other drugs? and if so for how long?

ps.. im not taking them i was just sitting here thinking about that lol

They stay in your system until the strength goes down, which could take a few hours.

I know you said you were not going to, but I just want to make this clear- they are very dangerous, and should only be taken when absolutly neccesary.

I have thin hair.
But it's curly/wavey.
I was thinking of getting a straightener.
I like the chi, but I want to get something different.

My hair is pretty easy to straighten.
It takes 15 minutes with my old straightener.
I want a straightener that makes my hair REALLY straight.
And the chi works great with my hair.
But does anyone have any other suggestions on straighteners?
Max price is $150.

I like Remington brand. I got a really good one, Remington Wet2Style, that was only 30 dollars- and it works awesome. It makes hair really really straight!

Good luck!

Does anyone know of any new verizon phones that are up & coming?? I checked the website & they don't really have any new ones. Any phones that anyone heard about?? Thanks!!

They are not having any new ones discussed right now. If they were, it would have been on the website. There will probably be some new ones before christmas:]

[view]

I keep reading everywhere that Chi straighteners are the best ones out there, but I know that there are so many different models of the straigtener. Which model do you use or which one works the best?! Pictures would be more than excellent.

Price does not matter what-so-ever. thanks!

I suggest that one. It heats up easily, and high.
It works amazingly!

I went out with a lad who treated me horrbile and now he is say he still loves me and he going out with my firend and i don't know what 2 do should i get back with him or not..??

stuck..

If he is horrible to you-he doesn't care for you. If he does not care for you- he does not love you. I am sorry, but it is the way it goes. If he is going out with your friend, he obviously does not love you.

Do not go back to him.

17/f
okay, im moving into an apartment with two friends in september but i need a job first so i can pay for rent, a phone bill, and electricity not to mention gas and groceries. I'm not going to college this year, im going to work full time so i can save up to pay for culinary school next fall. okay, so rent will be around two hundred dollars, my cell bill is around seventy five and the electricity bill will be divided three ways and we wont be using it that much since well never be home becuz theyre going to school and working too so it will be about fifteen dollars. gas and groceries will be about fifty dollars every two weeks, mainly for gas. And ill also be paying payments on a used car that my parents are cosigning for a loan. which will be about a hundred or two a month.

I live in garrett county, maryland. the apartment is at the lake and i need a fulltime job with good pay.

sorry if its confusing.

Is there a shopping center near by? You can work at a Grocery Store, Fast Food Place, mow lawns, babysit, be a parent's helper with their kids, just look nearby.

Good luck with your job search, and new apartment- I hope it turns out well.
