Q: Ok so today some guy asked me to put this weird code in my personal msg, he said he wanted to see if it looked the same. So being the nice person I am I put it in not knowing it would DISCONNECT ME.

So now everytime I try to log in, it disconnects me because that code being there.

How can I get the code out? I was thinking of trying another computer, because now personal messages do go onto other computers but depending on the computer it usually takes like 2 minutes. So if I could quickly get the code out of there that would be fine, except it takes 2 minutes so when I try it on my main computer you have to be logged on before it changes.

Anyway to fix it? If not, when I'm on another computer I'll save my contact list and import it onto a new email address I make.
You may need to just start a new acont on MSN. And not listen to the guy anmore, Lol :) . Just tell your friends that you switched it and have them add you so you don't have to re-add them all.
Hope i helped. If that doesn't work for you tell me! K?

Q: I'm looking for a Victorian or Edwardian styled dress (it does not actually have to be from that time period)that doesn't cost a fortune. It can be a costume from a play, or a real dress. I'd like the dress to not be poofy. I'm just looking for one to put on a mannequin in my room.

I'd like to purchase it online and to include a picture, of course. I have searched high and low for a dress like this.
I found a site that offers materials and templates to MAKE a Vic/Edw style dress. You can buy them. It is really difficult to find an ACTUAL dress, that isn't over 2,000 dolars.

But here is the site to make a dress:
http://www.farthingales.on.ca/edwardian.php

Here is a site with actual Dresses there are links to Edward and Victorian styles. Not sure if they are too pricey for you:

Q: http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/6248/ashleytisdaleupdohm1.jpg

anyone know how to do this??? please give thorough instructions! Pictures would be wonderful. If not, that's ok

Leave a majority of your bangs out(straighten them then curl SLIGHTLY on the end) Then put the rest of your hair in a High pony tail. Then use a somewhat small curling iron and curl random strands on the top portion of your pony tail. and use a slightly bigger one and curl the rest of the curls on the bottom portion.

Hope i helped. I looked up the pic and it discribed how to do it on the bottom of the pic.
I just copied and pasted the instructions so you wouldn't have to go to the site.

Q: So the other night my friend was planning to set me up with her boyfriend's friend. I already knew the guy a little bit but i was excited to get to know him more because i heard he was a good guy. So the night of date..my friend totally didnt say one word about meeting up or anything..she either forgot or she didnt want to do it anymore. Well comes to find out..she broke up with her boyfriend soo thats why we didnt go on the double date. I was soo hurt because i was looking forward to it. Should i contact the guy and ask him out myself..what should i do?
Have you seen this guy, talked to him, called him? You might want to be friends and get to know him if you haven't done any other that yet.
If you HAVE talked to him, seen him. And you like him then go for it. He was willing to go out with you on a double date so he must be willing to gou out with you.
Do you have another friend that is in a relationship? if you are not comfrotable going on a date with hime alone. Go with another friend on a Double date.
Hoped i helped...

Q: HERE ARE A FEW SITUATIONS THAT HAPPENED TO MY FRIENDS AND I NEED YOUR HELP (BUT PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM)


(1) What is your definition of skinny enough and is Carlys mom saying that Carly was overweight before and now Carly is skinny or is Carly reading too much into this: STORY : Carly is thin and A FEW DAYS AGO when Carly came home from work she changed into a tee-shirt but wore the same pants she wore to work. Carlys mom asked her as they sat down to eat if Carly lost weight, and Carly said no, but this upset Carly. Carly said to her mom that her mom always tells Carly she looks beautiful. Her mom said you do look beautiful but your pants look bigger. And she told Carly that Carly is skinny enough.'

(2) WHY would a chunky girl tell a thin girl (who is always told by strangers, relatives, friends she is thin/skinny, looks like a size 4 that the chunky girl thinks the thin girl is average and size 8,then pauses and adds in size 10. MARY (who is THE friend I am asking about) IS UPSET AS TO WHY SANDY WOULD SAY WHAT SHE SAID WHEN EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TELLING MARY SHE IS THIN/SKINNY AND SINGLE DIGIT SIZE. STORY: Mary (very thin) and Sandy (chunky)met in the hallway, Mary told Sandy she got a parking spot right across the street. Sandy said to Mary Exercise. And the reason Sandy said she mentioned exercise because she is concerned about her heart. Mary decided to ask;Sandy do you think I am thin; As Sandy was putting stuff away Sandy replied to Mary; You are average, size 8 paused and added size 10;Mary left and went back to her desk. Four co-workers saw Mary and asked Mary what was wrong Mary told them the story. Her co-workers said to her; Mary you are thin/skinny and cannot be more than a size 4, and not more than 110 pounds. Then Mary said; So why did Sandy say average and size 10 if everyone sees me as skinny/thin size 4;They replied; Sandy is jealous; Do you agree/concur with Marys friends? Here are some things her co-workers and friends said after Sandys remark: Audrey: Mary you are so skinny Billy: Mary you are thin. Jill: No wonder Mary you are so skinny Tom: Mary you cannot weigh more than 100lbs Yvette: Thin I want to feel you Mary Sara: Mary you are thin Petunia: Thin not just saying that you Mary are thin - cannot weigh more than 90lbs Doris: How do you Mary stay so thin and you have to be a size 4; Joanne: Mary you are so thin Leslie: Mary is a thin person Helen: How skinny do you Mary want to be Arlene: He is a big man, however, you Mary I can push Iola: Mary you are very thin

(3) The two players are Kerry and Patti. Kerry and Patti were having a conversation about many things and then all of a sudden the following happened. Kerry said: Patti I think you are a size 5/6 in clothing, even the temp that works for me said you have to be a 5/6 in clothing. Patti didn't say anything. Kerry said; you have hips, but they are NOT big. Look at my hips, my hips are big yours are not; Patti just listened and didn't say anything.. At 5:00PM they walked to their cars together and Kerry told Patti again that Patti looks like a 5/6 in clothing. Patti asked Susan (a person who witnessed the conversation) Does Kerry think I have big hips; Susan replied; No Kerry does not. Kerry even told you that she doesn't think you have big hips. All Kerry is saying is you are thin with shape. MY QUESTION: DO you agree with Susan that all Kerry is saying is that Patti is thin with shape"

(4) My friend Peggy was out sick for two days in a row with food poisoning. When Peggy came back to work she met Tania by the ladies room at 9AM. Tania said; girl you are skinny, you lost weight. Peggy thought Tania was implying that Tania never thought Peggy was skinny before her two day illness (everyone is always telling Peggy she is skinny - all of her). Anyway around 3PM Peggy was in Tanias office and Peggy asked Tania did Tania think that Peggy still looked sick and does Tania think Peggy look pale. Tania said Peggy you do look pale. Then Peggy said to Tania did Tania think Peggy looks drawn like Tania told Peggy earlier. And Tania said she didnt say that. What Tania said she said was that Peggys face looked like it lost weight and when one isnt smiling and one looks pale their face looks thinner. That night Peggy called me on the telephone and told me the story and asked me was Tania implying that she never thought Peggy was skinny before her two day illness. And I told Peggy that Tania wasnt saying that at all, all Tania said was that Peggys face looked skinnier. My Question: Did I give the right answer

(5) Ramona and the store clerk are the two people in the story. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SECURITY CAMERAS OR MIRRORS. Ramona came in and purchased her herb tablets. She asked him how much should one take.The clerk said to her that most women should weigh a 160 pounds, however,she weighs a little less so she can take less. The little less bothered her so she asked him to clarify what he thought she weighs he said 130 pounds. She replied you don't even know what I look like and he remarked that I see you come in here; Telling her that he thought she weighed 130 upset her because everyone always tells her that she looks like she weighs 110 or less.Also keep in mind that he wasn't facing her when he said this and there was a partition blocking his view of her so all he saw was her face and neck. When Ramona told her friends the story all of Ramona's friends said she should not be upset because when the clerk made the comment she was standing behind a partition and all he could see was her neck and face and Ramona was wearing a coat.MY QUESTION:Do you agree/concur with Ramona's friends that Ramona should not be bent out of shape because the clerk could not see what she looked like due to the fact she was standing behind the partition and all he could see was her neck and face and she was wearing a coat.KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING:(1)RAMONA WAS WEARING A COAT WHEN SHE CAME INTO THE STORE THAT DAY(2)LATER ON WHEN THE CONVERSATION TOOK PLACE SHE WAS STANDING BEHIND A PARTITION AND ALL THE CLERK COULD SEE WAS HER NECK AND FACE(3 KEEP IN MIND EVERY ONE ALWAYS TELLS RAMONA SHE IS THIN/SKINNY AND WEIGHS NO MORE THAN 110 POUNDS(4)THE CLERK ONLY SAW RAMONA ATOTAL OF FIVE TIMES SPREAD OUT OVER THE YEAR AND EVERY TIME HE SAW HER SHE WAS WEARING A COAT:(5)There are absolutely no cameras or mirrors

(6) Colette (who is very thin) went to a coffee shop for lunch and a girl who is there was eating lunch with her brother. The girl who is mentally challenged saw Colette eating a bagel and cream cheese and said;You shouldnt eat that;. The brother explained that his sister just came from a nutrition lecture. Colette told a co-worker the story and said;Do I look fat; The co-worker said;Colette you are very thin.;Later on Colette went to make Xerox copies of a report. Colette was standing on one side of the Xerox machine and Josie on the other and all they could see of one another was from the waist up. Colette and Josie exchanged small talk and then Colette said;Josie do you think I am thin?; Josie hesitantly said;Well, and then decided not to wait to make copies. Colette finished making copies went back to her desk. Late afternoon Colette got up to do something and Josie ran over and said to Colette;I only saw you sitting down, my god you are thin.;Colette that night got together with a few friends and in passing told them what transpired between she and Josie and all Colettes friends said ;the only reason Josie said;Well; in a hesitant voice was because Josie never saw you (Colette) standing she (Josie) only saw you (Colette) sitting so she (Josie) never realized how thin you (Colette) are and she (Josie) even admitted when she (Josie) saw you (Colette) standing that you (Colette) are thin.;Do you concur with Colettes friends that Josie only said;Well; in a hesitant voice was because Josie never saw Colette standing, Josie only saw Colette sitting so Josie never realized how thin Colette is

(7) Today at work an elderly customer asked Patricia if she lost weight and Patricia told her no. The customer said that Patricias face looked like she lost weight, but maybe Patricia was tired. Then as they started to walk toward Patricias coworkers desk the elderly customer told Patricia that Patricia is so skinny. Patricia said to her that that Patricia was always skinny. The elderly customer replied you are like me you lose weight in face but gain in stomach. The stomach part bothered Patricia. Patricia said to the elderly customer that Patricia is skinny everywhere. The elderly customer told Patricia that Patricia is skinny every where. That the elderly customer does not want Patricia to get fat but Patricia should gain five pounds. The elderly customer said that the elderly customers stomach is big since the elderly customer retired. And that the elderly customer thinks Patricia is skinny every where and she said that even Patricias hands are tiny as well. Patricia called me and told me the story and I told her that all the woman is saying that it looked Patricia lost weight in the face and Patricia is skinny everywhere including Patricias stomach, but the elderly lady has a big stomach. MY QUESTION: Did I give Patricia the right answer."
None of your friends are over weight from what i hear. I guess i don't really under stand the q. But all you guys have to do is check you BMI's on www.am-i-fat.com and that will tell you weither you are or not. Sorry if i didn't completly anser your q. If you need an anser to another q in the article you wrote just ask me.

Q: I can't find the lyrics to "Through the Back of a Witness" by Lower Definiton.

Can someone help me out??????

Thanksss
Well. I found their My space i think. So you can ask them(leave a message) asking them the lyrics. They are on tour right now(that's what it said) so you may have to wait a while.
Here's there my space:

Q: I need advice, i am 14 and i have kissed guys in the past. . but now i have a differnt boyfriend, and he hasnt kissed a girl before (we have known each other ffor years) , and im really worried that he will eat my face off!!
we are going to be at a Dress-up party, in a couple of weeks. and i want to kiss him and he wants to kiss me, but im really worried!!!

HELP ME!
Did you "eat off" the guys face that you had your 1st kiss with? He won't be that bad as long as you don't like make-out for a long time or really pationitly(sp?) 1st. Take it slow so he can catch up with your expertise in kissing. Slowly make your way up to a full on make-out session.

Q: okay. so im sick of my boring old hairstyle. right now its just sandy blonde with some lighter highlights. and its cut right above shoulder length. i was more preppy when i got it done like that, but now im more punk/emo. i kind of have a general idea of what i want, but im not totally sure. i like the length. i dont really want to go any shorter than it is. i like color. but i also like black and white. so im not sure. i was thinking darker underneath and light blonde on top. but i dont know if it would look good on me. i have more of a round face, so not all hairstyles look good on me. please help me! im doing this hopefully tomorrow.
I have a BFF that was like you(blonde turned emo) she changed her hair. This is what she did.
She made her bangs at like a slope, from the right side of her face to hair length. It looks good on her. I think she has a round face.

This is her pic:
http://spravodaj.madaj.net/pic/emo-girl.jpg

Now she put some blonde,maroon(red) and some dark brown highlights in it.
If that to crazy for you, you can always dye your hair a dark brown(if you don't like black hair)

Q: People it involves:
Me-teesha
my mom-tonja
my dad-daven sr.
my great uncle-Uncle Tony
my dad's brother-uncle tony
my dad's cousin-keith

Problem:
Uncle Tony invited me to stay at his house for the weekend. He said he wants to take me shopping. Of course I want to go. (not just for that reason)
My dad is an alcoholic. Everyone knows it, but they just don't know how he acts when he's drunk. Only my family does. (meaning me and my mom). Well, my mom finally decided to tell some of my dad's family. Well, my uncle tony. He told the rest of the family! That's why my Uncle Tony came down. I think the only reason he wants me to go spend the weekend at his house is to question me about my dad.
Well, now my dad is saying that the only reason my Uncle Tony wants me to go is just so everyone can ask questions about my dad's drinking. I'm starting to think that's true. I want to go, but I'm not sure if I want should. I believe that if my dad didn't have anything to have, he would have no problem with me going. So I think I should go.

Should I stay home or go visit my family with the risk of having them ask me questions about him?

I think you should go. If they ask you q's and you really don't want to answer them say "I don't know. But did you hear about who won the football game on sunday?....." change the topic and it should go through to them that you don't want to talk about it.

Q: hey. i have a cell phone called the "samsung sync." now, it has a "front display" [a screen on the flippy part of the phone] & it's great for when i want to take a picture of myself. but, is there a way to keep it on all the time? or at least ON but dim? i went to settings & set it so that it had a certain picture so that i can identify my phone quickly if i put it down someplace, but is what i'm talking about even possible? thanks so much!
i don't think so. i have tried that w/ my phone and it wouldn't work. but i have a Razor phone. so i am not sure. but i don't think it will

Q: how can i get the 'abortion pill'. and do i need a parent with me and do they have to know. because i wanna keep this a secret. && how do they work ?
My bff used this pill and i had to practicly do everything for her for about 2weeks. she was in constant pain and bleeding like 20/7. it was horrible. she talked to the doctor after "it" was over and he said that it was common for that to happen.
I recomend using ACTUAL abortion. not the "pill" thing.

Q: i weigh around 134 and im 5'7, i know im not overweight but i feel really fat and ugly. like my butt is flat and gross -> real gross. my tummy has a little extra baggage so if i wear tight shirts it looks horrible.. what excersizes can i do to fix up my butt and stomach?
you can run. like the person above/below me said. Also don't over doit. if you lose that stuff and you get under 120lbs your gonna be underweight. So even if you don't lose the "baggage" just be happy with what you got. at least your not obese(srry if that offends anyone or comes off as lectury)

Q: Alright, me and my boy have been together a year + a week or two. Like three days ago, i broke up with him. He was suppose to hangout with me, not, lets call her "tamms". Tamms is one of my bestfriends, as well as his. They didn't do anything together though. The reason was he was suppose to spend the day with me, not her. It's a stupid reason because this has happend before but this time I really got mad cause i cancelled plans for the boyfriend. I always get jealous when he talks to other girls, [we have alot of girls in our neighborhood, boyfriend lives three blocks away] I still love him, and i know he loves me. But if i cant contain my jealousy issue, i dont want to get back together with him. I've cheated on him once in the past and that was the worst mistake I ever made, but we got past that. Sorry it was long. Comments advice or opinons would be appreciated.
Why did you break up with him in the 1st place? I think that if you really love him you should ask him out again. If he loves you back he should say yes. sorry if that doesn't help. i could help more if i knew WHY you broke up with him.

Q: I am planning on getting a hamster or guinea pig and I am having trouble picking out some names. I already have a male name if its a boy but i need some female names for either pet. Thanx I hope you can give some names!
Here is a sight with a bazillion names on it.

hope i helped ya!

Q: ok so i cant stand hair people. they always never do what i am told like they always say i have gorgeous hair and if i ask them to cut it they cut about half an inch off and htey never want to color my hair. but i want to. so if my mom dyes my hair what can go wrong? like if i get the color dye i want and just have my mom do it for me how can it go wrong? like people say have a professional do it. but what could go wrong if my mom does it. and she dyes her own hair anyways so she knows how to i guess
The pro's don't want to die your hair? weird. why don't they? is it like a really cool color like red? But to answer your question, when ever you dye your hair(pro or not) something could go wrong. Though the risks are higher at home you can still color your hair. If your mom does it to her hair then it should be fine! don't worry.

Q: i started to install sims 2 to my computer. it just finished, and i restarted the computer. i didnt open anything except for sims 2, BUT theres an error. like halfway through the beginning credits, where it says "EB games challenge everything", it freezes and then a popup comes that says "The application has crashed. The application will now terminate." then when i click the OK button, Sims 2 closes! i've restarted again and opened Sims 2 again, but it keeps happening! and im really mad since i really wanted to play it. its a brand new game which we got from Toys R Us so its obviously not scratched or anything, and it didnt say that my computer didnt have enough space to run it... ugh someone help me please. im dying to play this thing.

btw my computer is a XP, and is a couple years old.. it was bought around like 2003-2004.

PS. i reinstalled this over like twice but the same thing happened. and i checked it over, and my computer seems to have enough space to run the game. and i tried playing the game while closing everything open. i even closed all my processes, and then opened sims 2 but i still cant get past the first "EA games: challenge everything" thing! UGH god help me please!
That same thing happened to my computer. I just brought it back to the store and got a new one and it worked.
Though it could be possible that your computer has too much stuff on it like Really large games and other applications. If you get a new game and it still doesn't work go to your START menu then to your CONTROL PANNEL then to the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS and take off any games that you don't want/need. Then it should work.

Q: How do I scan pictures onto a Mac book??
if by Mac book you mean like a lap top then you have to connect it to a scanner. then scan the pic. it will show up on the screen(as if on a reg. computer)

Q: why you no on student email ?? hey and yes you do love me why would you question that hahahaa
