My computer has been screwing up for the past few months. The sound is fine when I first turn it on, but after thirty minutes of so of listening to music, the sound goes away. What's up with that? Does it happen to anybody else? And also: when I have miniture pop-ups and I exit them, ALL the I.E. windows close. Can anyone identify what's wrong with my computer? It's not old, I just bought it last year, if it matters. (link)

Could be a virus or adware/spyware running on your computer for the IE windows closing things. Your speakers might be going out, otherwise you might be having a problem with your sound card, you'd probably want to get this checked out. What company did you buy it from? If it's Dell, you've probably gotten a refurbished sound card in there that isn't completely working. As for HP or IBM, you've probably just got something screwed up in there pretty badly. Take it to a shop to get it checked out, sure it costs money, but it will help you out a lot better than we columnists can.

i have asthma and i wanna start smoking cigarettes *kinda depressed* but yah.. i don't wanna die from it lol.. but you'd think i'd be getting used to it bc my sister smokes everyday on the way to and from school.. soo ya.. would it be that big of a harm to me? if ur gonna lecture on how bad smoking is.. then dont answer (link)
| |
Well remember, there's a surgeon general's warning on the back of the carton, that should give you a hint at what it does. It wouldn't really harm you if you could smoke maybe once a week, but since addiction kicks in, I would say it will. As for a lecture, I won't give you one, but it makes it sound like you've made up your mind and are looking for someone to tell you it will all be Ok, but don't say I haven't warned you.

While growing up I never had the "two computer home" that most have and I am fine with that. My PC has been great, The only problem was the show of Fatal Exceptions always bothered me. IE: lag, crashes, spyware. I never felt comfortable around that stuff because I never saw it and I didn't know how to act when it happened. Its not that I didn't get effection or anything but I didn't see crashes or hate toward another computer with my mom so when others did it I thought it was wrong. (just my young childish logic) Fast forward to now, I'm 15 and i guess I have a decent PC. Well, he hates me. We've crashed/burned and exploded. We have appointment Saturday at the copmuter guy's and I'm acually not that nervous for the most part. Its just that I don't know how to tell him my feelings, He said "Fatal Exception OE", I said "OH CRAP" but that just doesn't seem to cut if for me. I don't want to seem clingy and I really don't feel comfortable saying that since everyone in my family is seriously screwed with computers. I like my computer and I don't want to get hurt by him or hurt him. (I'm afraid I might make a rash decision and dump him)
So exactly how do I get myself to calm down and just enjoy the fact that the he likes me?

Give him some RAM. And get Windows XP Professional. As far as being clingy, don't let it bother you, just download some music and listen to it through him. Of course, if you've got a few bucks, buy a Mac you idiot.

well on friday night i went to the movie with my best guy from the Russian Mafia and we saw a scary movie, and well i was like leaning up against him and i would always hide my face in his hood whenever it stopped being scary, and well his bodyguard picked us up afterwards, just me and him, but we went with like 750 other people, like 50 guards , 700 mafia members, but they were going out to kill Micheal Jackson and we werent, only 2 other members werent, so i walked inside and my guard was like, so which one was your victim? and he was like hastling me all night. and then i went over to my favorite gangster's house on saturday and he told me that his guard was doing the same thing, and then he took us to the movies again that night, but this time it was just me and him, and she was like, "you know i think you guys should consider killing people because your really blood-thirsty together" and personally i think so too because we both have black jump-suits and he's a tiny bit stronger than me, and well i didnt say anything, but anyway we saw another scary movie, and i dont know how it happened but we ended up killing everybody there? and my cohort was there and he saw it and he got us a ride with his gang pals so while we were in the car his gangster was like, aw guys come on i swear you two could really beat up people together. well we didnt think anything of it. but yesterday i went bowling with another guard and we had to take our Ak-47s so our other guard who's our age went too, and my best mafia member called me and he asked me if i could blow up the city and i told him what i was doing, but my guard was like, "no you should go hang out with your cohort" and my best mafia member heard it, so he asked me to kill his enemies today, and in school we were spraying bullets everywhere and we got in trouble?? but anyway i'm REALLY afraid we're gonna disband into different gangs, i mean, he tells me he cares about my Russian tactics and he wishes he could kill with me and his guard has always respected me, but i dont know im really scared our blood-thirstyness wont last. do you have any tips how i can get over this??
sorry its so long.

Well you could always tell your "best guy" that you'd really like to kill people with him, and as for the school incident, I'm confident that probably brought you two together more than ever. I think blowing up the city would be a good idea, after all, it would leave you two nice and happy with nobody around but your guards.
And then you can shoot them too.

okay so I'm 14 f. I haven't had a computer yet, is that weird. See I'm in french immersion, and theres only lik 3 computers in it and there PCs. so all of the computers are horrible. I. I mean, I've seen a lot of computers, but that was at my old school and I was in grade 5-6-7 so "compuers" were all really old iMacs, so I don't count that. Is it sad that I've never had a real computer? How can I change?

Hitch up your iPod and start downloadin' some good numbers from iTunes from one of the PCs. then dump your PC on the local street corner (it belongs there) and go to a Mac store and get yourself a Powermac G5 and baby it with all those tunes you downloaded. It'll love you forever and won't crash, unlike those three stupid PCs.

My car, Linds, and I have been together for about a year and half. Well, I still like him and want to be with him. But, there's a problem. There's another car at Bob's Car Lot downtown that I tend to flirt with ALOT and he flirts back. I know that I don't like this car; I'm just extremely attracted to his looks. He's not a bad car or anything, he's actually pretty sweet and nice but Linds is so much more than that (hott too! :D). I always tell myself that I'm not going to flirt with him before class but of course I do.
Well, this past weekend, we were at the same party that Linds wasn't at and we almost wrecked. I stopped myself and I'm glad I did. I don't know how to stop this and I don't want to ruin such a good thing with Linds. I have no idea what to do. I try to stay away from him but it never works. Any help with this situation is really appreciated, thanks.

You should drive your car around a lot more. Take him fast down some roads or something. Get him to rock-crawling up some hills or doing donuts in the Publix parking lot. Whatever it takes.... Give him high-octane gas and see if he accelerates better and if he has a better top speed. Always remember to give him a spin once a week to keep his engine in top condition. Never underuse the clutch or you'll wear him out, and try not to choke him too much. As for the other car in Bob's Car Lot, Just don't drive him. If you don't drive a car it won't ever remember you. If you really don't like him, pour water in his gas tank or something. That should slow him down a bit and he'll reconsider riding with you behind his wheel.

I was talking to a friend of mine and some how we got onto the subject of cheese. I made a comment that white people are boring because all they use is cheddar and pepperjacked and occasionally swiss. I'm spanish and so is my friend, so of course us being spanish we're used to cheeses with all these rich spices, pennicillin colonies and whatnot. I was talking to my boyfriend and I told him about it because my boyfriend is... well he's whiter than a sheet of paper. Anyway for some reason, he told his mom about it and I feel really bad now that I said it because I feel that I've offended his mother. His mother and I have a very good relationship considering the fact that I've been with my boyfriend for a long time. I just feel really bad about making that comment now. He told me that she pretty much agreed with it, but I still feel horrible about it because I eat cheese over at their house almost every weekend and she makes cheese, but her cheese is really good! I don't know what I should do. I don't really want to bring the subject up again because I don't want to offend her even more if in fact I even did offend her. Any advice? (link)
| |
What enzymes does she use? My mother uses some extra enzymes to make big holes in the cheese, bigger than normal swiss. Sometimes she adds some pennicillin colonies to hers to add the extra flavor. It's good cheese. Just try not to offend her with making comparisons with salt and pepper or something.

I've started using an amish appearence. (I dressed in black a lot and use no make-up.) Nobody even understands why I'm doing it. I'm sort of doing it as an expirement. (My utmost apologies if I spelled that incorrectly.)It freaks out my teachers, classmates call me a farmer, my boyfriend acts scared of me, and my parents don't like anything about my new look. All I've changed is how I look. I don't want to lose my friends just for the sake of looking amish. But, if they can't accept how I want to look, are they real friends? What should I do? Advice please! (link)

I've started using a gothic appearence. (I dressed in black a lot and use dark black make-up on my eyes and either brown or red lipstick.) Nobody even understand why I'm doing it. I'm sort of doing it as an expirement. (Sorry if I spelled that wrong.)It freaks out my teachers, classmates call me a vampire, my boyfriend acts scared of me, and my parents don't like anything about my new look. All I've changed is how I look. I don't want to lose my friends just for the sake of looking gothic. But, if they can't accept how I want to look, are they real friends? What should I do? Advice please! (link)
| |
Well first off, yeah if you're dressing gothic and you've got friends that don't like it, they are true friends if they're confronting you about it... Trust me, lots of people I know hate the gothic style because it's so hopeless and depressive in it's fashion. If you want to look like a real human being that everybody is willing to accept, don't look gothic - no problem with wearing some black, heck I wear black T-shirts all the time. It just seems to me that you're mad at your friends because you're turnin gothic and they don't like it. Put yourself in their shoes - what if one of your friends starting doing stuff really strangely around you? You'd be a little angry and upset yourself. So before you get mad and such, take a look from the other side first. If you feel that looking gothic is more important than keeping your friends, by all means, go be gothic. I'm not saying you won't suffer consequences - it always works that way. So just take the other perspective into mind before you start playing with being gothic.

Ok, the Sultan of Brunei asked me over for lunch the other day (I'm a top executive to him, he sells oil to the USofA, and I suggest prices for the barrels he sends out) and I've gotta admit - It's the coolest palace I remember even being in. However, Mr. Sultan, at the lunch table, had a peice of Saudi-spinach (somewhat like the American stuff only it's covered in sand) in his teeth. So I was like, "Hey, Sultan, you got some Saudi-spinach in you're teeth. Might want to extract that before our big oil meeting." However, a certain hand gesture (pointing at my teeth) was an inside joke he had been holding for 23 years and found it as offensive. So later on that day, after I was kicked out somewhat violently by some masked guys, I walked through a sandstorm to my house somewhat dejected because I had been demoted from "Top Executive" to "Oil Salesman." My salary went from 780,000 dollars a year to 200,000 in one day. I'm wondering if you wonderful advice columnists can help me get my "Top Executive" ranking in the Oil Heirarchy back. (link)
| |
Well, the Sultan of Brunei really hates me and all, because one time one of those masked guys asked if I was American and I replied, "No, I'm Chinese, what do you think??" So he got mad and kicked me out in the sand too. Fortunately, a Bedouin Preist arrived and told me to eat Sultan Cookies. "Low on fat, rich in oil"; like they always say. Anyway, so the moral of the story is, the Sultan of Brunei is extremely easy to irritate, and not much more difficult to get yourself booted out the door - or in this case, the titanium-plated iron gate. But if you really want your job back, eat Sultan Cookies. You won't get fat, and the oil really lubricates your throat as it goes down.

i have a crush on a boy and i can't get him to notice me!i tried everything but the only thing he likes about me is my mp3 player!i started bringing it but that only made him attracted to the player!wat am i supposed to do??? (link)
|
What kind of Mp3 player??
No, I'm kidding, if you like him, tell him how you really feel about him. That's all. He should understand. Now, for some music myself...
|
|
I'm about to make my friend a cd and he said to put whatever songs are cool and new and I like all old music. Does anyone know any good songs that are r&b and are new? (link)
| |
I like old music too.... but as for R&B, check out the R&B section in the music stores. It all sounds like the same thing to me. I'd ask him what kind of bands.... er, artists he likes then go from there.

I asked one of my close guy friends to prom. he said he doesn't know if he wants to go because he said he can't dance. he also said that dances aren't for him but he said he would think about it. how can i persuade him to take me to the prom?! (link)
| |
I would let him think about it. If you keep rambling on about it to him, you could come across as annoying. Just let him think about it, and then if he doesn't want to, then just talk to him politely about how you really want him to go, and how it would be fun and all that good stuff. Hope that helps!

Good pectoral and triceps workout.... Push-ups, chin-ups, anything of that sort. Running will also keep your legs in good shape, I recommend working up until you can run a mile in 6:30 (Minutes:Seconds) if your a guy and 7:30 as a girl. It should help you out a lot. Otherwise, shooting hoops like any other person will help your accuracy skills, but just some good exercises will do the trick, push-ups, pull-ups, chin-ups, sit-ups. I recommend those.

There is this guy and we always talk on the internet (AIM) and I always tell him to come up and talk to me at school, and he says okay he will and I say im gonna hold that up to him. When we are at school and I see him he never says anyting to me he just walks away. I wanna say somthing to him so bad about it but im shy too. I aways catch him looking at me what should I do?
(link)
| |
You've probably freaked him out like that. I know that feeling; I've had worse problems. If I were you, I'd talk to him, not ask him to talk to you, he's probably uncomfortable about just walkin' up to talk to you. So yeah, in essence, he's probably just kinda scared.

Does anyone know anything you can do to get rid of kanker sores. thanks in advance. (link)
| |
I used to use this stuff called "Zalactin." It would burn like the dickens when you first put it on for about 10 seconds, and then basically it almsot glues your lip to your gum. But do this at night for one or two nights and that sore will be DEAD within a couple of days. I dunno if they still sell it though.

idk what category this is .. but i need a new s/n any one got ideas?
(things about me)

i love ryan
hmmm...idk any thing else to put lol
please help (link)

Ok, well, with the discription, you could use "ThingsAboutMe." Or, you could go a little more funky and use "IHeartRyan." That might work. Or if you wanna be like most girls you could add those cute little "XO's" at the beginning and end of your name, with a bunch of numbers afterward. Perhaps, "XOHotTallBabe9452OX" If it fits. I doubt it. I mean, with screen names, you gotta come up with your own style, if you know what I mean. Or, maybe it could be cool and stuff and be "Stuprefish." Yeah, but that would sound weird for a girl. So you have to come up with your own stuff, I mean, just think about it. I don't know what your personality and stuff is, you gotta come up with your own name that really fits it. Hope I either helped or something to that extent.

Have a crash-when-you-get-tired party.... It's kinda the same thing, only you stay up doing stuff like video games or cosmic bowling or stuff like that all night long. And you don't get to sleep much that night. At all.

ok i like this guy at school. he is in my gym class and i always look at him like he is the man of my dreams. he's nice funny cute sweet.anyway i can't seem to get his attention. i see him look at me when i'm looking at himbut i immeditley turn away. i'm shy around him but loud around his best freind. i don't even have the guts to call him. his name is matt and if you know who he is please help me out.when i was in 2nd grade i liked him and i still do now. he invited me over to his house three times in 2nd grade and i even saw a picture of him when he was a baby and when he was naked!
i guess my question is can u please help me to ask him to a dance at the end of the year which is on june 7th. if you know me please don't tell matt that i like him ok
signed please help me!!!!!!!!! (link)
|
Just tell him. He'll be shaking in his boots and learn to deal with it. I've had the same exact ordeal happen to me, only with a person that I had no clue who she was. And I have another friend who just flat out told a girl that he liked her even though he knew it might make her feel funny about him. If you start slowly until you hint at it, he might just say "Forget it" and move on. If you want to reduce that chance, just tell him straight on.
-EDIT: Oh fun. Pictures of naked babies. How sexy.
