i'm 14 and i've been going out with my boyfriend since december. we don't go to the same school, and he lives about 20-30 away if i'm walking and he has a dad who rarely lets him out. i haven't seen him in a month and we haven't really talked since a conversation about breaking up. i'm scared to lose him..even if he says we'll still be friends, i'm afraid things won't be the same.
how do i make things better? what do i say to him in person since he avoids me on facebook? (link)

Please only ask this once.

who is my love? (link)

We aren't fortune tellers. Not sure where you got that idea, but if you could tell me what made you think that I would like to fix it.
Thanks.

Well, is it? (link)

Hi there,
That really depends on the advice. If it is good advice, then yes it is good to take it. If it is bad advice, then no it isn't a good idea... just the same as advice you would get any place else.
If you can't tell if it is good advice, then it is best to get a second opinion or ask another question including more detail than the first.
The number one reason people don't succeed with advice they ask for is that they aren't ready to be honest and open to change. I have seen some truly stellar advice here go unheeded because the person wasn't willing to get help and fix their issues. The point was, when you do get good advice, and you are sure that it IS good advice, then don't waste that opportunity.
Hoped whatever you are dealing with works out for you.
Good luck.

I got new plugs for my mp3 the plugs work but somehow the mp3 sounds shorted out,unless I hold the plugs someway, what is wrong with it? SOS!! :( (link)
| |
Sounds like you got some bad earbuds. Take them back and exchange them for a working set. You should also stop using them until you get new headphones... that wire shorting out can damage your mp3 player/iPod beyond repair.

in avenue chat they alow rape plse shut it down like a colldge sex porn chat (link)
|
This is kind of like going into a porn store and complaining that there is porn there.
The site you are talking about (took me a while to figure it out since the name you gave was wrong) has a section dedicated to sex fantasy chat.
Guess what is in the top 5 female fantasies one every survey given on the subject? Yep, rape fantasy.
So, nobody is going to shut down a site just because you are offended by something that turns a lot of women on.
Majority rules... and the majority says that is a hot fantasy.
I don't understand it, but this is the way things are.
If you want to do something about it, go here and leave your feelings in feedback:
http://www.chat-avenue.com/feedback.html
... When more people threaten to leave the site, than are coming to express their fantasies, then it will change. I doubt that will ever happen, but if you want your voice to be heard, then go leave them some feedback.

my car keeps dying. Sometimes it dyes when I am at a stop light or sign. I don't know what the problem is. Can you help me? (link)
|
Hi there,
There really are too many possible causes to diagnose remotely. Even if we were able to tell you what it was, do you feel you are able to change the parts yourself?
If you are mechanically inclined, please respond with more detail, and I will do my best to help.
If you aren't a mechanic at all, then the best bet is to take it into your local garage, or contact a friend you may have who happens to be handy with cars... a shade-tree mechanic, if you will.
Either way, I wish you only the best with this problem.

unfinished wooden objects for painting (link)

This is an item, not a question. Did you have a question about unfinished items for painting? Where do you buy them, how do you sell them, what kind of paints? Anything?

you are a nasty bitch you think you can call people out but you probably have a vaginia smelling like a dirty fish market, you probably smell so bad you want to jump of a bridge. (link)

Hi there,
You probably didn't mean to address this to the male operator of this site. ;-)
If you have a problem with a user, register an account and file an abuse report. We take abuse seriously.

Yeah, i dont know what to do. im not a computer person lol. (link)

Best thing to do is re-start the computer if you haven't already.
Always a good idea to start by making sure it isn't infected with some form of spyware. I suggest downloading the free versions of:
Malwarebytes:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_
free
SuperAntiSpyware:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
...and running them one after the other.
You will probably be surprised what is lurking on your system.
That will help a lot. If you still have trouble tomorrow, please let me know. Been up for more than 36 hours testing new software, so I will be out of service for a while.

So, this is a long one.
I had a guy track me down on Facebook and send me a long message about how I tortured and bullied him in school.
But most of what he said I don't remember, and a lot it couldn’t have happened. I had a rather severe anxiety disorder throughout my early teens, a few years are just emotional blurs to me, but some of things he claimed I did - like speak up in class to embarrass him, or make up a nasty song about him - it’s really near impossible for me to have done. I didn’t speak in class. I started to cry or throw up when I had to make presentations. I wouldn’t speak aloud to people who weren’t my friends. I stayed inside at recess and shelved books in the library... What I DO remember is coming home violently crying because of what this boy had a habit of taking things from me and flushing them down the toilet - to the point that my mother called the school, and had my desk moved away from his.
In high school we never had a single class together and were in different academic streams. But in grade 11, he tried to make himself useful to the drama club, the rest of the stage crew holding a meeting on how to politely kick him for his incompetence and arrogance. I defended him. Sure, he’s was a bit of an ass, but he was obviously trying to be useful; we should try and create tasks for him. But the senior stage manager decided to ask him to leave. I wasn't there, and we never spoke of it.
I haven’t responded to him. I didn’t know what to say. Maybe he is confusing me with someone else as well. It doesn’t seem worth it to argue with him and tell him he has a whole bunch of it dead wrong. Maybe I should message him and say like "I’m sorry you had a tough..." What do you think? (link)

I would certainly write him back. You sound really iffy on the whole memory subject here, so it might be a good idea to give him the benefit of the doubt on everything but the blonde situation.
Sometimes people don't realize how the littlest things can effect someone else for large portions of their lives. Calling him fatso, may have crushed his self esteem for life. Some people are more fragile than others, and I think it is up to the less fragile to help those that we can.
Compared to someone else, all of us are fragile, and we certainly don't want them doing anything to make us feel worse, right?
The guy was probably a jerk to people in an effort to hide his feelings. Somehow he managed the courage to tell you about this, which is an awesome step for him... so I guess where I am going with this, put simply (too late) is this:
If you don't know if you did something or not, give him the benefit of the doubt. You can tell him you don't recall that, but there is no reason to make him feel yet worse for remembering the wrong person. You are a strong enough person to help him out here.
As for not remembering, exactly? Well, I have had that experience. I have seen film and heard audio tape of myself from when I was a kid, and I wondered who this alien being was, and why they sought to besmirch my childhood! :-)
Good luck with all of this.
P.S. If it comes to it, and he suggests meeting in person, you mustn't do that. That is where it goes from helping someone heal to becoming a victim.

Hi there,
The problem here is that we aren't talking about a matter of close-mindedness... instead we are talking about sexual attraction.
People are attracted to what they are attracted to. It doesn't usually change.
Example: I have met some very pleasant African-American women, but I am attracted to fair skinned women. So, basically I have to ask you a question:
Would you be happy being in a relationship with this guy, if seeing you naked was a turn-off?
If you could be in a relationship with him, knew that sex wasn't EVER going to happen... and knew he would resent you for giving up his sexual future to be with you... Would that make you happy?
I hope not, because it it would make you happy, then you are most selfish person I know.
Be friends, but don't ruin that friendship by insisting on taking this someplace that would make his life hell.
I know you want him to find you sexually attractive, but he doesn't. Let it go, and find someone who is attracted to you. Attraction only lasts when it is mutual.

Everyone has a dream, and mine has been movie making since I was able to walk. I have written countless scripts that are clever and humourous, and It is my dream to have them viewed on youtube in the way I had pictured. But upon filming today I discovered my voice is disgusting, it is croaky and rough, really Aussie. I don't know what to do, its really getting me down. The hopes of success with this had pulled me out of my down spiral of the past few years and now I fear slipping back into it. I don't really know why I am asking, I guess I just feel like support, because I don't have any friends, and my parents aren't around, its hard for me to do it by myself, and something this little screwed everything up. (link)

First, I would like to tell you that I admire your drive and obvious passion toward making this a reality. These are the things that will make this happen.
Let me tell you a secret... everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY hates the sound of their own voice. Even when you have people around you all the time who tell you your voice is amazing, you will still hate your own voice.
How would I know? Well, I worked in radio a bit, spent some time as a DJ and have done a little voiceover work. I hate the sound of my own voice.
We are our own worst critics. Example: a young woman plunging herself further into the depths of anorexia because she thinks she is fat. Nobody else thinks she is fat... just her.
Your voice is probably just fine for what you want to do, but you dislike it so much that you are stopping yourself from succeeding in your dream.
Have you spent much time on YouTube? Look at the top earners there (yes you can make money on YouTube) and tell me your voice is worse than those which you hear there... and I will tell you you are wrong.
Most Americans, especially males, think the female Aussie accent is delightful. Trust me on this one. The thicker the better.
Again, go back to the big people on YouTube: Ray William Johnson's voice is like having a railroad spike driven through your eardrum, yet he is a YouTube millionaire.
There is no reason you should let your voice hold you back. If your scripts are good, get to it. Do some basic work and then you can collaborate with other youtubers as you go along.
If you want to improve your voice, there are study courses, training tools and vocal coaches out there... but I, personally, would like to see what you have to work with now, before you make any changes. The odds are that you have a charm to your voice that you don't know is even there.
Good luck, and don't let your fears ruin your life.
P.S. You know who is always in the top 10 money makers on YouTube? "ReallyAnnoyingOrange!" I wish I was kidding. If your voice is worse than that, get back to me and I will send you some links to voice training resources. :-)
P.P.S. When you get rolling, please send a link to your channel so we can see your work.

I went sprinting today, trying to put in some speed training for soccer. I didn't have enough energy to put in my full power while sprinting, so it wasn't a super efficient speed training session. When I got home, my knees felt completely normal. But after a few hours, I noticed that my left knee felt like it needed to be popped. I tried to pop it, but all I got were a few cracking sounds, like the sound you get when you crack your knuckles. My left knee still feels like it needs to be popped. It doesn't really hurt unless I put a lot of pressure on it like doing a squat with weights. But I just want to know what is going on with my knee and how to fix it. (link)
|
I would like to second that advice: Even if it is feeling better, you should have this checked out.
Knees are your friends, and when they are gone, you will will miss them. See a doctor about this. A chiropractor might be a good starting point. If it is something medical, they can refer you.

How serious is this new about the Apple iphone always tracking where everyone is? Does this mean that anyone can find out where we live? I read one thing and it sai dthat when you get an iphone you sign some terms of something that says apple can use your gps to track you so there is nothing you can do about it? Can that be true?
Why is my iPhone tracking me? If I wanted a tracker I would have bought a dog! (link)
|
Well, my understanding was that GPS data is being stored in a database file on the phone. With the new information, I now understand that it is actually tracking triangulation data about the cell towers you pass by.
I don't know about the accuracy of that statement, as it makes no sense for a device with a GPS built in to use something as clumsy mobile tower triangulation to determine where you are.
This is something that was disclosed by nerdy-types around a year ago. Many people didn't listen, while others called them conspiracy nuts... Guess now we know, eh?
So, if you want to read more about the iPhone tracker issue, here is a good news story to start with:
"Apple slammed over iPhone, iPad location tracking"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_apple_iphone_tracking
... which reminds me: They are also tracking your iPad's movements.
The old adage goes here: "If you have nothing to hide..."
... BUT: There are serious drawbacks to this. Anyone could swipe your phone and see all the places you go, then lay in wait.
Yes, it should be fully exposed by Apple corp, and it should have an easy off setting in the settings. Should also default to OFF.
Now we watch and wait to see what they do about this.

I try to connect to the playstation network and I get "network error 80710A06" but I don't know why. Any ideas why this is happening or how I can fix it?
Thank you! (link)
|
Sadly, this is something everyone is dealing with. They (Sony) are currently saying it could be a day or two before things are back to normal.
Who knows how long it will be until everyone can stop saying: "I can't connect to the PlayStation network! HELP!" Hopefully a couple days like they say now, but we will just have to wait and see.
Here is a Google news search that you can use to keep up with the progress:

i know this is probably a stupid question but bare with me im so desperate haha.
okay so a couple of hours ago i was at tacobell with 2 of my best male friends. i saw this really cute guy there and he kept starring at me. i was so shy and im guessing that he thought maybe one of the guys was my boyfriend.when i went to the bathroom he went also and i really wanted to talk to him but i just couldnt get the courage too. oh btw he was there fixing something i think he was a costruction worker he was about 23 years old/white male. and when i was leaving he was starring at me as if he wanted to say something to me but couldnt, since he was working. when i left i saw him looking threw the mirror glass. and i was so sad cause i didnt get to say anything. i guess my stupid question is how can i find this guy. i know i dont know his name or anything. but hey its worth a try. i tried posting it on craigslist in the missed connection section so hopefully he sees it. any other ideas? any other websites like that? ahh i wish i could find him :( i doubt ill ever see him again.. and i bet hes thinking the same. really wish destiny could help me out a little right now. (link)

You know, I think we will all do something like this at one point or another in life. The old saying: "He who hesitates is lost."
... is quite true. I am really surprised that nobody mentioned something yet, so I thought I would answer you and tell you what I would do.
If you believe he was there doing construction work, then go to the taco bell and talk to someone who works there, even better if you can find someone you remember from that night, and ask them which company did the work.
See if the person you are talking with remembers the guy. If so, find out what they remember about the guy.
From there, you can contact the company, better in person, and just be honest with them. "I wish I had the courage to talk to this guys when I saw him!" If they call the guy in, he will either be creeped out or incredibly flattered.
Good luck!
P.S. Remember for next time: SAY SOMETHING! ;-) Worst he can say is "no."
