Q: Ok well every time I try to download fonts I'm able to download them but I can't use them. It doesn't show up in my microsoft word when I want to type something, like when you scroll down the font names it's not there. Any way to fix this? I'm saving them under windows/fonts but it still isn't doing anything. How can I fix this?
Thanks

That happens to me too. I guess your computer doesnt allow different fonts to be added. So your stuck with what you got. Sorry!

Q: Okay me and my friend have a question.. when u have a condom on a guy and when ur having sex wouldn't it like slip off or something.. Someone please write me back with details PLEASE!!!!!

No because the condom was made for it to wrap around the guys thing and stick to it. It could break though.

Q: Can you get pregnant by swallowing guys cum? I known it sounds stupid but i need to know. Also what are other words for cum?

Nope. The only way to get pregnant is if the cum enters through the vagina. Other than that, your okay!

Q: Ok, I have this guy I really, really like. I mean... I think I love him and he always tells me he loves me, but we have a delima. Well I have a delima. We talk online alot, but then when we get to school he's just like fine dont talk to me and Im standing right there to talk to him. Well my question is, is this his form of flirting or does he not like me at all. I really need some help. I will rate high for appropriate answers.

He likes you but he's just shy. He can express his feelings through the internet because its much more comfortable. But in person, he is just too shy to talk or anything. So try to get him comfortable and get him to open up. Crack a joke, remind him of something funny you talked about online, start a convo..good luck!

Q: i like someone and i do everything i know to get his attention. i flirt and wear cute outfits and try to stand out in the classes i have with him. what am i doing wrong? what else can i do?

Your missing out on one important thing! TALK TO HIM! Yes, talk to him...No I'm not crazy. You can do it, its not hard. Just go up to him and say something, likeee "Did you do good on that test?" or something simple and build up a convo.

Q: Hi I really ned help! Ok well u know the shooting that happened in minnesota? Ya well me and my bf go to that skool and he was one of the victims! Ah! and he's in the hospital and they say he might die! he's in a coma and wont wake up! I strted freaking out when I heard his name on the list of the shot! They said he was still living but it was a 80% chance of dieing! He is the love of my life and I do not know what to do! Help me some one plz?

Just relax, the doctors will do everything they can to save him! If your christian, just pray and I'll pray for you too. Mircacles happen all the time..I'm sorry for what happeend to your school. is that the shooting in the small town? The guy killed like 9 people and them himself?

Q: well i have this teacher he is realy mean and yells at me when im not even talkin wat should i do

Talk to him after class. Be like "Hey Mr./Mrs....You always yell at me when I'm not even talking. And it hurts my feelings" Something like that, talk like an adult and act like a adult...and he/she will talk to you about it!

Q: ok me and my ex were together for 8 months...my longest relationship. it got to the point where i could totally be myself and everything with him. our last month was aweful. he didnt call me as much, people said he was cheating on me. but whenever i asked him he said he would never do that. anyways, we broke up at the begining on this month. since then, ive gotten a new bf. ive known him for two years and a ton of girls like him and hes really popular and he really likes me. he talks about me ALL the time and hes a great bf. but lately ive been missing my ex so much it makes me cry. i wasnt really that sad after the break up (i broke up with him)...but now its hitting me. we still talk though..he said he has a new gf they got together yesertday and he asked if i wanted to double date!!!!!!! i was like wtf...that would kill me seeing him with another girl..but i just said yea anyways. well hes coming over sunday to get his stuff he left here before we broke up..i miss him so much...and when he signed off last nite he sed he loves me and he always will...im so confused...help..

i dont want him back...but then again i do...i just hate seeing him with someone else. :(

Dont double date. He just wants you to get mad because he has a girlfriend now. That is the worst idea ever...double dating with ex's. Ahh, save yourself and dont do it. I think if your happy with your new boyfriend, and hes happy with his girlfriend..you should let it go. Obviously it wasint meant to be. You had your time and fun..and you need to realize relationships dont last forever. Dont focus on your ex so much, focus on your new boyfriend! Maybe one day in the future you'll go out again, who knows. But just wait it out and stay with your boyfriend now. Good luck and sorry if I didn't help much! Keep me updated if you can!!

Q: http://www.geocities.com/oberstxx/mrbrightside.asx

^that's the link i want to use for music in my myspace....

will someone help me activate it into my page?

Whats the name of the song and who plays it? I'll find a different url for you. Just leave one in my inbox and I'll give you the code and what to put in your myspace.

Q: Does anyone know any websites that tell you how much you're supposed to weigh at a certain age? if you do please give it to me!! thanks

When you find sites their not 100% true because different people have different muscle weight and body shapes so the best thing you can do is go to your doctor, and ask him/her if your weight for your age is fine right now or should you go on a diet. You shoudlent rely on websites because one website might tell you one thing, and another site might tell you another thing..and then your all confused!

Q: before i say anything, i know it may seem like im thinking too much of it but i just wanna know.

okay well today was the talent show and i wanted to sit next to this kid that i like but my stupid vice principal called people by the color of their clothes((so elementry school)) and i couldnt catch up with him. but anyway when my friend corey asked him he said he might, and then he got up and walked over and tapped me on the shoulder and just went back to his seat?? so anyway i didnt seem him again until we went to class after the talent show, so all during class he was looking at me when i laughed or smiled and he laughed or smiled too. and then he isnt really firneds wirh the boy who sits nect to me but he went over and started talking to him, and then i got up and went to wait by the door until the bell rang and he went over there too and talked to someone else he isnt really friends with and then he flicked my hair before he went to his homeroom the opposite way as mine. and then i was walking to the bus and he usually is ahead of me but this time he was at my side, and then i lost site of him, but he was like leaning my way when he was next to me, and i dont know does this mean he likes me?

Yes, I totally think he likes you. Next time he's close to you again talk to him! be like heyy whats up...or invite him to hang out with a bunch of your friends at the movies or something. Start talking to him because I think hes trying to get close to you so you could start a convo.

Q: hey i asked earlier about possible duets for dating couples for the talent show..well today everyone was like saying my boyfriend is gay because hes a good singer, and they were like, guys dont sing. only a couple people said it though. and today we went and watched the seventh grade talent show and i sat next to him and all the little seventh graders were saying it to.. well some of them. it's getting really annoying, what should i do? i mean, im not gonna break up with him because i love him but i just wanna make them stop.

Tell them look, is Usher gay? He sings, Is Eminem gay, he also sung in a few of his songs. Is R Kelly, gay? Nope but hes a 12 year old rapist. They are so immature and even if you tell them about Usher and all, they probably will make up something stupid. let it go, their the ones who are gay.

Q: ok this is what happend, during spring break (2 days ago) me, my friend, my sis, my dad and mom went to las vegas. While we were there we saw kids from our schools baseball team there (we were going crazy) .. and my friend likes 4 guys total and there happend to be 2 of the guys that she liked there..then my dad told me to say hi to them so i did..i went up to them and started talking..then later that night 1 of the guys m friend had liked asked me for my # so i gave it to him. Then while we were walkin up and down the strip my friend was trying to tell him all the bad things about me so that he wouldnt like me anymore (i guess that didnt work).. then when me and him went to get some subway my friend was talking to my sis and my sis said that my friend was saying that its not fair that he likes me and that she liked him first and blah blah blah.. but whenever i got to know him i started liking him ALOT and we madeout that night too (it seemed like she didnt care that much), but thats the only guy i like (and shes obbsessed with 3 other guys too). So when we were driving home she was saying that whenever we get back to school shes going to try and impress him (cuz that night she looked like a piece of cr*p).. then i had no idea what i was going to do so i called him up and starting telling him everything. Then he said not to worry cuz im the 1 he kissed that night and not her .. but i know shes going to get mad cuz hes going to ask me out whenever he comes back from las vegas. I just dont know what to do right now...

Dont do anything. You did the right thing by calling him up and telling him whats going on. She's just gonna make a fool of herself looking all hott and trying to impress him. Dont worry about it...I would worry about how a "friend" would talk crap about you and stuff.

Q: I use to love to read and get lost in it. now I jsut can't seem to becouse my mind keep wondering off, i can't seem stay fucus to read.. how i get my intress back?

Oh I love reading. Um, well just go somewhere queit where no one will bother you. Lock the door, even put relaxing music to get you in the mood. I put rock music though, still works the same for me. haha. Good luck!

Q: i want grow little more, i know its naturel but i feel like there is something help u grown little.. there is i know anybody knows

Nope. There is this pill you can take (by prescription) but you need to be short and have a valid reason to take it. Saying you want to be a little bit taller isint enough. You'll grow, you'll go through a growth spert and grow like 2-4 inches. If your 13-16 you still have a lot of time to grow!

Q: well, ive been thinking about running every morning this spring break, because i dont have anything to do so i mind as well stay in shape.

i want to run every morning, but i dont want to lose weight, i want to lose how i LOOK, like my legs. my mom said that if you walk fast, a couple miles, it will tone your legs and butt, make them tighter, and better looking in a swimsuit. is this true? if not what workouts can i do to make them betteR? thanks so much, i rate!

Yes if you walk up hill's and down hills and all that jazz you'll tone your legs and butt and make them tighter. I exercise because I'm on a diet and I always feel my muscles getting tighter when I walk up hill's and stuff. So yes, definatley go walking!

Q: Okay- I have reported abuse on here, what happens next? it gives you a link, but i cant keep track of it, so, how do you know if anything has been done about your abuse report??

Go here to see your report: http://www.advicenators.com/abuse.php?mode=list&view=mine . I suggest saving that link for checking on the report and for future reference!

Q: okay, i screwed up my last question because english is my second language, so here we go again. i'm a skinny person and i don't really like food in general, but i really like veggies, fruits and all sorts of other healthy food. since i've been fasting for the last few weeks (i'm russian orthodox, that's what we do before easter), i thought about it, and realized that since i don't really suffer without meat, maybe i should become a vegetarian because i don't want to kill animals. maybe it won't really make that big of a difference and only clear my conscience, but then, as we say in russian, raindrops sharpen rocks (as in little things can make a difference). so, here's my question: how do i stay healthy and get all my vitamins? where can i get that information? and most of all, is it hard for a vegetarian to gain weight? because i was really hoping to gain my freshman 15 next year, i seriously need it. please don't answer unless you know what you're saying.

Hey okay if your worried about vitamins and nutrition just take a multi-vitamin supplement everyday. You know those 1-a-day vitamins. And no its not hard for a vegetarian to gain weight, I've seen a lot of "big" vegetarians!
