My name's Ammo and I'm here to give any help or advice on anything that I can. :] Firstly, if you were kind enough to come here and read up on me, I thank you.

I've been through a lot when it comes to relationships and life in general. I've seen and heard many things and have always felt it's nice to be able to share my experiences (both good and bad ones) with as many people as I can in the hopes that I can help others not make the mistakes I've made (and sometimes still make). Who knows, maybe there's a lesson or two I can learn from you as well.

I don't really use chat programs much anymore so e-mail would be the best way to get in touch if you wish to chat but if you really need to chat then I am able to do so via Facebook, Yahoo or MSN. I'm a very social person so don't mind anyone wanting to chat. ^_^

I got this computer about 2 years ago. Then it had a CD burner and it worked really well. Now I have done nothing different and it doesn't work. It says that the CD is in and it continues to burn (on iTunes), but when I take it out and try to play it there is nothing on it. Could this be something I can fix myself or do I need to get a pro? If I can fix it, how?

I'm not sure how itunes works but there's a few things you can try to get an idea of what the problem might be.

Have you burned music before using itunes which has worked? If not then I suggest trying a different burning program because it might just be itunes that's the problem.

If it has usually worked then try burning a movie or a few other random things onto a CD-R and see if they all burned okay (you may need a different program to do this because I'm not sure how itunes works).

These are the only things I can suggest really but you have been using the CD burner for a while now and eventually they do get worn out and need replacing (I've had to replace my DVD-RW recently after 3 years of use).

ok im 15/f and me and my mom like CANNOT get along anymore. i cant take it. shes always yelling at me, she always drinks, she dosnt let me have anyone over anymore. i have a boyfriend and he lives with us now but he wont get a job and i get yelled at for that too. and i dont no what to say to either of them. like my mom is trying to make me get a job too and im too young. what should i doo?

Hi.

If you live in the UK then gettin a job will be VERY difficult since not a lot of places will hire someone who is 15 (the paperwork for one as well as the limited amount of hours you'd only be allowed to do by law would mean most companies are better off hiring someone part-time or through an agency). First things first you need to make this clear to your mom - that you CAN'T get a job because places are very picky about hiring under 16's. If you are in the USA though I believe the rules are different so maybe someone reading this who's from the US can clarify?

It seems you actually have two problems here. Your bf and your communications problem with your mom. Firstly, if your bf has moved in then your mom may feel that he is living there but doing nothing to contribute - this could be a part of the problem. Providing your bf is 16+ (UK) then I suggest you give him a kick up the ass and tell him to get out there and find a job. Not only will that mean he can at least provide for you (take you out and such) but it may improve things a little with your mom. You need to be firm with your bf about this too. If he doesn't want to get a job does he expect to live with you and your mom doing nothing but living off of income support? Your mom yells at you about it becuase he is YOUR bf and therefore your responsibility.

As for your mom you need to try and talk to her when she's not drunk and is sober. I know how hard this can be because my dad is the same as well and just drinks and drinks (although he has a good reason that I can see it's still a bad habit especially when it gets to the point he can't control it). When your mom is sober sit down and try to start up a conversation with her. Tell her you don't want you both to get into an argument - you just want to talk. She will listen (hopefully) and then talk to her about things. Tell her your worried about her and about how much she drinks. Tell her you are goin to get your bf out there to find a job so he's not sittin around doing nothing all day. If she won't listen to you at all or you feel you cant talk to her then write her a note. Don't get angry or come across as 'having an attitude'. Just talk to her in your note and tell her you don't like you both arguing.

Sorry I can't really be of much more help that this but if there is anythin more I can do feel free to get in touch. I hope you manage to try and get things rolling on trying to fix things up with your mom. Good luck. :]

okay. idk how to say this, but everytime i like a guy, i
have no idea who they are and slowly get to know them.
only to realize that EVERY SINGLE GUY i have ever
liked has been a skater! and i know you're thinking, "well
i mean how do you not know he's a skater..." well i just
dont get it! like they dont LOOK like skaters (all of
them) but i ALWAYS like a guy and my friends or who-
ever are like, oh he's a skater.. and im like... why?!

is something wrong with me?? why does this always
happen?

I don't see why anything is wrong with you. I tend to like a lot of girls and it turns out they always turn out to be goths. It's not like I ONLY like goths or anything but it just happens most of the time because I'm not really all that fussed about styles when it comes to liking someone.

Maybe you just prefer skaters? If they don't seem like skaters at first and such then it could just be a coincidence. :] I wouldn't really worry about it all too much unless you have a hatred of going out/liking skaters in which case all I can suggest is getting to know them before admitting that you like them.

14/f, and i get REALLY scared, and im not good with blood.

okay well let me start out with, i have only seen saw. i havent seen the other 2. i agreed with my boyfriend that i would watch the second 2 with him. so can somebody tell me all the torture situations in the last two movies, and also tell me if they live, and on a scale of 1-10 how gory.

sorry thats kinda alot to ask for. but none of my friends have seen it. and he wont tell me.

and i get nausious (SP?) over blood and stuff, but idont know. help please. thank you.

Hi.

I'll have to try and remember the details from memory but I can say that the second and third movie were fairly gory and blood filled pretty much like the first one.

If you have seen the first movie I think the best thing I can say is to expect pretty much the same kind of things and the same kind of torture games in the second and third movie.

As for who lives and dies... this is a big soiler to the movies (I left space so you have to scroll down to see the answer) so I suggest stop reading here if you don't want to know who lives and who dies. Bare in mind I can't be specific becuase I saw the movies in the cinema on the day they came out here in the UK and I've not seen them since.

Okay, the second movie first... Everyone in the second movie dies except the woman (who was also in the first movie and was one of Jigsaw's victims who survived) and the kid who is the cops' son (you'll know who they are when you see the movie). One guy dies in the furnace when trying to get the antidote. Another dies when trying to grab the antidote from the pot of acid. Another gets shot when he looks through a keyhole while another guy tries to open a door. There's more but I can't remember them to be honest.

In the third movie I can't recall who lives at the end scene but I can say that everyone dies. One guy dies trying to grab a key from inside a bottle that houses a shotgun and the guy tied up inside a torture device (the guy they try to save by getting that key) also dies (and might be a pretty gory scene for you to watch).

I'm sorry I can't really recall the other death scenes but since you've seen the first movie all I can say is expect the same kind of thing from the second and third.

Good luck in watching them - they are good movies even though they might be gory for some. :]

my laptop's CD rom stopped reading all CDs this morning. it has been giving me signs, finding it hard to read CDs. Can it be fixed? I dont have money to buy a new drive. or can i connnect a desk top CD drive to my laptop. i guess its cheaper.

If you've had the laptop a long while then it's to be expected because they do eventually wear out and need replacing. The same has happened to BOTH my drives on my main PC - the DVD re-writer drive refuses to read/write any CD's unless they are DVD's and my CD-RW drive will only sometimes read CD's inserted.

If you've not had the laptop long and is still under warrenty then I suggest you contact the place you brought it as they may be able to replace it for you or have it repaired under warrenty. If the warrenty has expired then your only alternative might be to replace it as I imagine a repair job will be equally as expensive, but don't take my word on this as prices can vary greatly from place to place.

You will not be able to plug in desktop CD drive into the laptop unless the desktop CD drive is an external drive. In which case there should be a connector on the back on the laptop where you can plug it in (if its a USB drive then even better) but again this varies from laptop to laptop.

Another option I thought I'd mention is trying a search on ebay to see if there's anyone selling the replacement drive you're after for cheap. Their not always cheaper on Ebay but sometimes you can grab yourself a good deal.Good luck with it.

Okay so here's the situation. In 6th grade I really liked this guy named Jamie. But half way through the year he moved to hong kong. but while he was there, we talked on AIM and he told me he liked me and i told him that i liked him too. he came back for 4th quarter that year, but i was going out with this other guy. so then he went back to hong kong, but last summer he came back and called me and wanted to play tennis with me. after we played tennis, he invited me to a movie. we didn't hold hands or anything, and he never said he liked me again. but over spring break last year i met this guy robert. he lives in pennsylvania, and we talked a little bit, and when we talked online later he said that he liked me. i just talked to him tonight online, and he was really happy to hear from me, and we got to talking. we figured out that we're both going to be at that same hotel at the same time next spring break! also, jamie is coming back this summer. who should i pursue? i really like them both, but i don't know who it makes more sense to go out with. thanks!

Hi.

Firstly with robert. He lives in Pennsylvania so I'm guessing he doesn't actually live anywhere near you? So the only time you will actually be meeting up with him will be in the spring break when you both are staying at the same hotel. The question you should ask yourself is are you after a long term relationship? If you are then this might be very hard with robert considering he lives in another state (this is the impression I get at least). If you both hook up at the hotel will it just be a fling over the summer break or are you after more than that and also, what is he after? Because unless you both are after the same thing it will cause problems. I only mention this because the same situation has popped up a lot of times with friends and they did things and said things they later regretted when they found out the guy they were so in 'love' with was only after a holiday fling whereas they (my friends) turned out to be after a little more than just that.

As for Jamie it sounds like he is also hardly around much because of his trips to Hong Kong. Does he live locally to you and just visits Hong Kong on holidays? If that's the case then he might be the better choice but that all does depend on if you actually do feel the same way about him as you did before and if he feels the same way about you as well - people do change and so does how they feel sometimes.

It's really up to you who to go for but either way there's things to consider and think about but the most important thing to decide is who YOU actually like and want to be with and if they feel the same way about you too. As I said it's no good that you want a long term relationship with one guy whereas all he wants is a fling. It will just cause problems and heart ache. Good luck though and I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

me and my boyfriend have been going out since 4th march.. thats nearly one n a half months..
and all weve done is huggeD?? is ther something wrong.. its hard because i always give me friends advice about love and taking it to the next step, but i can;t even take on my own advice and do it myself. i don't know if its me or him. his always the one whos hugging me so it must be me. he sent a message the other night saying '' i love you, do you think we should take our relationship to the next level '' and i replied '' yes '' and then nothing after that.. we sat next to each other in the movies and nothing still happened~!! pls i need help.
thanks
love julia xxx

Hi Julia.

Well, if you feel you can't actually talk to him about this in person because it might be embaressing and you can't make the first move with him then I think the best thing to do might be to try what I had done. :]
I had this same problem in one of my relationships. We always talked online about what we would do when we were together at the cinema the next time around but when it actually came to it, it was harder than Ihad thought because I was unsure if she felt the same way. It was all about nerves really and being scared that she might all of a sudden change her mind so I might get slapped or something, hehe. I won't go into too many details but she gave me the hint that she did want me to do something so I wasn't scared after that and the rest, as they say, is history. :]
When you are both in a cinema next time use your cell phone and write on there something like, "so when will I be getting my kiss?" and show it to him and see what happens. Little things like these will help give him that extra little bit of confidence when you are with him to encourage him to actually take it to that next level you both want it to go to. The cell phone thing is just an idea but it worked really well with me.

Sorry I can't be much more help than this. Good luck with him. :]

Ok, im 14/f. My boyfriend doesnt think i love him anymore, he thinks im back to liking him. but i dont kno wut i think.
How do I kno if I do or not? And sumtimes i kno i do but other times i question it. And he wrote me a note sayin a whole bunch of stuff saying he still loves me and he dont kno wut to do and he thinks that i stopped loving him and im only liking him now.
and if i tell him wut i think or feel he'll get mad at me again and i cant have him get mad at me again or he'll prolly break-up with me...
wut do i do? how do i kno.. & please dont say that i should if i like/love him or not.
Thanx in advance!!

I know you said not to say this but that is the real answer to your dilemma. If you love someone you just know you do - you wouldn't need to ask yourself if you do or ask others if they think you do. If you have doubts about it, as you do, then that might be a sign that there is a problem. It may even be that you do love him but his own doubts have also made you start to doubt it.

Either way you shouldn't be afraid to talk to him about it. He has no reason to get mad at you just because how you feel about him has changed or because you are unsure about how you feel so don't let him get mad at you or feel you have done something wrong. This is all part of the relationship thing and it sometimes happens, you can't always avoid it.

If you really are very unsure about how you feel take some time to yourself and have a think about it. I don't mean go on a break because I find the general idea of going on a break (at least the definition of what a lot of people think a break is anyway) to be really stupid but just take a couple of days to yourself to have a think about things. If he will break up with you at the end of all of this just remember even though it will hurt, you are young and you will find someone else. Every relationship has its risk that it won't work out.

I am told and must admit I'm a fussy eater. I am male and 16.
The thing is I eat quite routinely. My breakfast always consists of Wheetabix, lunch always consists of Tomato Sauce sandwiches! Amongst other things, eg yesterday I also had a doughnut, banana and sausage roll along side that.

The thing is if I was offered Spaghetti, curry, Pasta or something I'd reject it. I think truthfully I've never tried them, I just feel like I wont like them.

I also have a problem with fruit and drink. I feel I don't like strawberrys, oranges, grapes etc but I love the drinks!

Whats the case here?! Should I try and eat the stuff I hate or something?

Nothing wrong in my opinion about being a fussy eater at all. Some people are just fussy about what they do and don't eat and there's others who like to try a wide range of foods to experiment.

I will happily try new things just for the experience and such (I've never tried lobster but that's the next thing on my list of things to try as well as haggis) but there are some things I will just refuse to eat - like extremely exotic foods and some sea foods.

It's really up to you because if you feel you are happy how you are then by all means there's no need to change. If you feel though that you do want to try new things and experience things then go for it! There's no harm at all in trying and you never know you may even like some of those things that you always thought you wouldn't like. :] There's no harm in giving it a try.

im going to a relay for life this month. in our team its all my cousins and everyones friends we usuakky end up with 35-45 people. im going to invite people this year and their my best friends and only friends but i cant invite my bff because hes a guy and i cant have 8 girls and a guy. so he cant go and my parents hate it now im gothic its just how i am ive been like this for over a year and they still get mad everytime i wear any black or anything gothic or listen to the music i like and music is my life. we get in atleast 3 fights a day. on who i am MY personality MY friends MY misic MY clothes. not hers but she yells then she wont shut up so i yell then she says whatever do what you want. then later on like within 3 hours she starts it again. she says i can do what i want but wont let me. then all my friends are gothic but 2 includeing him. we all cuss and do alot of pranks and talk perverted. another thing my cousins and family will yell about. also i have to invite some of the preps thats the thing about it. were the only peoplein the school who DO not get along. us 8 then them 9. i used to but we got in a big fight because their tellin me who my friends can only be so i left them. and i have to invite atleast 2. and my mom says i have to and i say no she starts up the yelling. we all have to go around together. itll be a hell of a relay. so to sum it up cousins and parents tell me all im doing wrong ALWAYS and hate my friends. i cant invite my bff. i have to invite my enemies. my enemies and my friends HATE eachother. me and my mom will have so many fight during the 12 hour relay. ill end up having to help her with stuff and my friends and enemies will kill eachother seriosly. how do i solve all that? dont say kindly talk to your mom. i dont stereotype but i did to show it all. omfg plz help!!!

I've been told I'm goth although I personally thing I just have my own little style because one day I will be goth and the next I'll look totally different depending on how I feel (and how bothered I can be about what to wear, hehe). However, either way, I try to get along with everyone regardless as to how they class themselves or how they dress and what music they prefer. Generally it works but you do always get the few who just refuse to get along purely because you are don't dress the same and such.

Firstly, with your mom. Just try and avoid conflict. Shouting back at yourmom will not serve any purpose other than make her madder at you and blame your lifestyle for the way you are acting out. So, my advice, just refuse to get into an argument. Should have seen my mom the first time I had got my pants with the chains all over it or when I got my hair dyed red - mom was seriously not happy. She hated it so much but now I have my hair red pretty much permanently (every time I get it cut I dye it red again) so it's been red now pretty much since last year. Mom has stopped complaining about it now too because she's so used to seeing it. She may still hate it but I don't get the ear ache anymore. :) As for you and your friends talking perverted, I'd say for a 13 year old that's good cause for your mom to be concerned - what parent wouldn't be? But this is something you may nver actually understand until you are in their place and it's something that is to be expected from your mom who cares about your well being. If your mom hates your friends maybe you should try and invite a couple over? Get them to meet your mom and vice versa so she can see that their not as bad as she may imagine (tv, movies and media hold nothing back when it comes to making people look like something their not so your mom may simply have the wrong idea about them from what she may have seen elsewhere).

Now your friends... I have a mixed group of friends and they generally do get along quite well. Since you are the team captain though throw your title around a bit. TELL them all if they want to hate each other that's their own problem but for the relay you want them to concentrate on the task at hand and get it done. That's what being the team captain is all about.

Hope I helped a little.

yea but..lately like in january he told me he was in love with me and i told him i was too.he told me he was gonna break up with her but i didnt wait a month and i decided to end everything..do you think that he could still be in Love with me?like it was only 2 or 3 months ago since he told me he was..and lately we were talking about love and he told me that true love never fades away and i went like pshh and what would you know about true love and he told me cause i think i found it yet(but im sure he was not talking about her bcause he never does..bottom line i think he might still like me)but i dunno im confused..maybe if its ok with you i could send you some of our convos(i always save them dont laught im just in love ) and you could tell me what i should do
thx 4 replying me so fast
Larissou

Hi Larissou.

I'm a little lost as to who you might be but I'm guessing you are the same person who was asking about whether you should tell your best friend you love him. If I'm wrong please let me know (gets difficult to keep track sometimes).

Sure, you are more than welcome to send the convos (please send to my email address ammo@thedevilsoffspring.com) and I'll have a look at them. Bare in mind to send me a message to my inbox to let me know you have sent them if you wish for me to reply to you on here. If you would like me to reply via return email then just let me know in the email. :) Nothing to be ashamed of by the way, I save all my convos as well. :P

However, for now, you do know him better than I so if you think he's still in love with you and wants to persue a relationship with you he will need to break things off with his current gf because it's wrong to keep her tagging along. Only after he does that will things be able to proceed with you both. You may even have to somehow get him to say that he does like you because until he does it will all be speculation.

Well im gonna go short.In DEEPLY in Love with my Best friend but he has a gf.I reallly want to tell him how i feel but im scared:(.plz guys tell me what to do..i really really really like him.Do you think theres something i can do to make him leave her??or i dunno plz just hepl out:'(

Although you may like him if he has a gf it would probably be a bad thing to tell himhow you feel because not only might it cause complications with him and his gf but also complications with him and your current relationship.

There is probably plenty you can do to make him leave her but the thing is how much of a friend would that really make you if you did something like that? And what if he eventually found out that you were the one who deliberately messed up his relationship with his gf just so you can have him to yourself? Do you really think he will even want to know you after that - especially if he's really into this girl he is with right now?

How come you had not told him before they started dating that you had liked him? Why wait until he was already taken? I think the grim reality is that either you try some underhanded way to break them up do you can try and get with him and risk your friendship in the hopes he won't find out or you just remain his friend and just let the feelings you have either fade away or just keep them to yourself.

I won't say which you should do but from a moral point of view (and I have been in this exact same situation) I would like to think that my best friend would be happy for me if I was happy too. I was in love with one of my friends very, very recently but I waited too long to say anything and when I decided I would she had gotten a bf. I decided not to say anything and even when they were going through problems I stood by her as a friend and did everything I could and advised her as best I could to try and have them resolve their situation so they would stay together because he made her happy (and it was really hard doing that all the while knowing that all I have to do is just turn her against him with a few carefully chosen words). Eventually they broke up though and when I told her how I feel... well that was last time I spoke to her, not heard anything from her since then.

(1) I dont understand my sister.I buy beautiful jewelry which sells for 99 cents for each piece of jewelry but they look very expensive.Friends, Strangers, coworkers, etc all think I brought my jewelry in Lord & Taylors, Bloomingdales, Nordstrums, etc. However, my sister will not buy this jewelry. If I told my sister I brought the jewelry in Nordstrums, Lord & Taylors she would love it, however due to the fact that I told her where I brought it she po poos it, saying it is junk. (2) ALSO another thing I wanted to ask you during the course of the conversation below my Mom told my sister why are you saying those things to her - she likes the jewelry. SO ANOTHER QUESTION I AM ASKING YOU IS MY MOTHER KNOCKING THE JEWELRY. (HERE IS THE STORY: I buy jewelry at the 99 cent store and the jewelry I buy looks like I could have brought them at Lord & Taylors, Bloomingdales, Nordstrums - I get a lot of compliments on my jewelry. However, my sister is such a snob so she will not buy anything UNLESS you pay a lot. However, Tonight I was wearing a fun ring and she commented on the ring and asked if I brought it at the 99 cent store. I told her no that this was just a fun ring. However, the jewelry I buy at the 99 cent store does not look 99 cent, but she laughed, but my Mom told her that last night when Anna was here for the first night of Passover, Anna loved the necklace that I (meaning me) wore. I called my sister a snob, and she got mad, and said; dont ever call me that I still wont buy anything at a ninety cent store;. My brother-in-law told my sister that she should not say things like that to me. Any way later on I showed her a necklace and she said it was pretty and as my sister was getting ready to go home my mother said to her; why are you saying these hurtful things to her she likes the jewelry.)

1. I am not sure exactly why your sister is acting this way but it may just be down to the way she thinks. which is unless it's worth a lot of money it isn't worth having or good being seen in. Personally I go for anything which I like the look of regardless as to how much it costs (be it £10 or £150) but some people are just not like that. I mean I have seen people who walk around with the most plain and totally uninteresting watches you can ever see that look like something they won from a christmas cracker but because it had a big brand name on it and a price tag of £800+ they just HAD to have it. Dare I say it's kind of weird but that's really just how some poeple are I guess. All you can really do is put up with it I'm afraid.

2. From the sounds of it I don't think your mom was taking any sides at all. I think your mom was just mad that you were really happy about your purchases and how your sister just came along and tried to make you look bad because of that. I think your mom was just not wanting your sister to upset you really and she wasn't speaking ill or otherwise about the jewellery.

HI, I'm not fat, my stomach is just a little chubby. If I cut back on sweets and drink more water and do at least 100 push ups a day and run at least 10 minutes around a track, will my stomach be flatter in 2 weeks?

I think 2 weeks would be a very unrealistic time frame to work with. Although it does depend on each person it could take a little more than just 2 weeks and you must also bare in mind if you have not run that much before or done that many push ups a day before you are pushing your body into a routine way too rapidly when you should be easing it into the routine. Doing too much too quickly can just lead to you injuring yourself.

I suggest that for starters you do cut back on sweets, fizzy drinks and snacks. It will be hard but if you keep remembering why you are doing this, it will help you stay focus. As an alternative keep plenty of fruit close by. when you feel like a snack grab an apple or a banana or grapes, peaches, oranges... things like these will not only quench your snack urge but will also be a healthy alternative. If you are having difficulty with giving up fizzy drinks start slowly - give up all drinks that contain caffine (coke, pepsi etc) and instead stick to things like lemonade and then eventually drop that too. Just a little change like this will make a big difference and add to this a work out as you described and you'll be well on your way. Crunches are great for toning up and working on your stomach so try those but as I said above and with any exercises - start out slowly and then gradually you can progress and give yourself higher targets to reach for. Running is an excellent exercise but if you want to try something even better than try swimming. If you have access to a swimming pool swim a couple of laps every day. The swiming will work out every muscle in your body and will be great at helping you reach your target.

Good luck and I hope that I helped but just remember not to over do it. This will take time and I think the whole 2 weeks thing is being very unrealistic but I wish you luck regardless. Just take it easy. :]

Ok, this ? is for mostly boys around 14-15

what makes guys like girls, like what do guys look for in girls, but nothing peverted, cause i think i like this bot but im not really sure.
see i dont wanna act like something im not??

idont know im jus lost?!

thnk (:


Although I am not around 14-15 I thought I'd answer regardless.

Firstly good move on not acting like something you're not - that is always a bad move and you shouldn't have to change yourself just to get someone to like you.

Hmm, I look for personality more than anything else. The girl has to have a personality otherwise things will quickly get very boring. This means she has to have a sense of humor (girls beed it to put up with me coz I'm a bit of a joker and I like having a laugh) as well as be easy to talk to and friendly. Trust is a major issue with me so I need to be able to know and feel that I can trust them.

ok so basically i'm sick.....ugh..
well i have 2 questions
1. i've been blowing my nose like crazy and now the bottom of my nostrils are really sore and raw, what can i put on it to make feel not as sore?
2. today and tomorrow are TAKS days, i keep so i have 2 go 2 school, today i was coughing and coughing and coughing. i couldn't stop. well the teacher said i was disturbing the class with all my coughing. =,(!!! well what can i do to stop my coughing without taking cough syrup?

1. The reason this happens is because the skin on the bottom of the nostrils is extremely sensitive. The constant rubbing (with tissue for example when you have a runny nose) will cause the redness and soreness. A good thing to use would be vaseline. It protects and has a cooling effect on the soreness. My best suggestion is to try and avoid rubbing your nose and instead dab. It will prevent the bottom of your nostrils from getting worse and hopefully start up the healing process to make them less sore.

2. You should explain to your teacher that you are not well which is why you are coughing. If you feel that they will not believe you then you should take in a note from your parents for the attention of your teacher which you can show him/her before class starts. Other than cough mixtures I've found sucking on something sweet will help a great deal. I'm not actually sure why it helps but it does ease the throat and the coughing a little. Over here I usually get these tiny sweet things from my mom (the size of pills) that are made from sugar (they are like crystalised sugar lumps) which are perfect because they are sweet and small so I can carry a little bag of them around withme in my pocket.

Hope that helps a little.

Is it possible to get a photo from my computer to my phone? As in, get a picture I have saved on my computer to be my wallpaper on my cell.

Yes this is possible. There are, however, a lot of way you can do this and it all depends on the phone you are using, and what your PC setup is like. If you don't have the hardware then there are websites where you can upload a picture who then send it to your cell phone so you can save it and then use it as your background and such.

Some of the options you have available are as follows:

I.R. TRANSFER
This is done by using an I.R. transmitter which is plugged into your USB port (unless it's built into your PC). The picture is sent via infra-red to your cell phone (which also must have I.R. capability to recieve the image).

BLUETOOTH TRANSFER
Again this can be done if you have a bluetooth adapter attached to your PC and you have bluetooth capability on your cell phone. Once both units are powered on you can transfer the picture from the PC to your cell phone.

PHONE CABLE
If your cell phone came with a USB cable then provided you have the software installed on the PC you should be able to use the cable to transfer the picture to your cell phone.

MEMORY EXPANSION CARD
Multimedia cell phones have a memory expansion slot and a memory card. Most modern laptops and PC's include a universal memory card reader (or one can be purchased cheaply as an add on). This allows you to simply move your pictures to an from your cell phone easily by copying the picture/s to your memory card then inserting it into the cell phone.

NETWORK TRANSFER
Some networds (at least here in the UK) allow you to go to their own web site where you are able to upload a picture to their server and they forward it to your cell phone.

OTHER WEBSITE TRANSFER
And last but not least there is using a 3rd party web site to do the same as I mentioned in the above example. It might be very hard to find a web site that will offer this service and I have yet to come across any that offer it for the USA but bare in mind that I am in the UK so I have not really been on the look out for a web site that will send pictures to a US based cell phone from my PC.

Hope that was some help.

15 f
my sister is 17 almost 18
we used to be really close and never fought but now its not like that since im growing up we always get into fights and barely talk. we never had those awkward talks so please dont tell me to have one with her haha
ok so lately shes been telling me that im changing that i always have an attitude or that i shouldnt have a boyfriend because im too young or that i changed alot. its getting really annoying what should i tell her so she would just leave me alone and let me grow up.
thanks

It sounds to me like she is being the typical older sister looking out for her younger sister. It is true you are growing up and changing because that is something that happens to everyone but she may see it in a slightly different way. You're sister may see it that youo are now growing up to the point you are curious about guys and sex and all of that jazz so she is trying to act more mature since she is so close to being 18 now (and maybe even reflect back on when she was your age) and try to make sure you don't make the same mistakes she may have made. Or she is just trying to plan look out for you.
If you are not willing to sit down and talk it out with her then you are very limited on what you can do but the next time she does say something to you why not just ask her? Ask her why she's suddenly changed or why she's so concerned about what you do and who you see or what's changed about your attitude. Youo don't have to literally sit down and talk to her to get a conversation going about what is going on and maybe finding out why your sister is being the way she is towards you.

I will say though that I personally think being the older sister she is just trying to look out for you though it must annoy the hell out of you at the moment. It shows that although she is saying how you've changed and you have an attitude it also shows that she does care about you. Good luck and I hope you manage to resolve this with your sister. :]

Well my mom is 37 she was married twice and had a boyfriend. But all of a sudden she likes this girl. The girl is gay and my mom i dont know if my mom is becoming gay. But i dont like the girl shes with and i dont trust her. I know shes a perve and she wants my mom in ways you should know... She is taking my mom away from me and my mom doesn't really seem that happy. What should i do???

Hi.

Talking to your mom would be the best thing to do, I think. Try and catch your mom on her own and have a sit down with her and talk to her. Ask her how she is. Have a heart to heart with her and let her know about your concerns about this other woman she is seeing.

This is probably going to be your best course of action. Good luck and I hope it all goes well.
