I am trying to download music off of myspace.com to put on my computer so i can make a CD1 but it says that the program doesn't have the right data!! Any suggestions or anyone know how to use this site??

It looks like that some of the songs have downloading disabled... You can always try to play the song and record it with another program like Sound Recorder... You'll have to go to Volume Control and select Wave Out Mix or Stereo Mix for recording...

i have two best friends. one i've known since middle school...so that's about 4 yrs now. and now i also have a new best friend...whom i met in high shcool. they're both wonderful and i'm so glad i have them but there's one problem. they can't stand each other for anything! when i'm with one, she's talking shit about the other. and when i'm with the other one, she's talking shit about her. they both want me to take their own sides and be more loyal to one then the other. ahhhh! what do i do!?!??! HELP!

Ask them what they don't like about each other. You can't do anything if you don't know what's going on. Also, definitely don't say bad stuff about one when you're with the other.

Does anyone know of a website to post pics on. Like either a photo album one or an actual website one. I don't want Picture Trail, EasyDesigner, Xanga, or Xprofile. If you know of any others that are user friendly, let me know! Thanks! -Free2bMe :)

I think Photobucket is good... GreatestJournal is also good if you want a journal... Of course, a website on Freewebs will give you the most control if that's what you want...

I have homemade java-script buttons and I have the same ones, in the exact order on all my pages. Is there a way for me to code the HTML where I don't have to write out the whole, complete href reference and imgs tags on every single page? That way if I have to make a change I can do it in an external file and just upload it and POOF! new button or old button deleted. I guess what I am saying is, can you put an external HTML into an existing HTML? I don't want to end up using frames.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You can use server side includes if your web host supports them... Put the stuff that you want on every page on a text file, then put <!--#include file="yourfilename.txt" --> on each page that you want to include that file... You will have to save all of the pages in .shtml extension instead of .html...

What's a CUTE (ex: nothing creepy) way that me and my 2 bffs can dress for Halloween? I'll rate if it helps!
Much Love,

Try dressing up as faeries or princesses or something like that...

(I'm a 16 yr old girl) Me and my 2 bffs are throwing a halloween party for 15-20 of our friends. We are having it at one of my 2 bff's house- a million dollar mansion! How should we decorate it? I was thinking it'd be so much fun to do a murder mystery- but is that too juvenile? What activities should we do? Anything else you want to add would be great too. I'll rate if it helps!

Luv Y'all!
Becks

Nothing's too juvenile if it's what you and your friends want... For activities, watching Halloween themed movies would be a good idea, and may be telling horror stories... Of course, you can do anything you like, what do you normally do in parties?

How should I handle this situation? I am interested in a lady that I went to high school with. The problem is that I used to date another lady from high school and all of us are in a small group of roughly 15 school acqaintances and friends that meet once a year or so. I broke off with the ex-lady friend almost 9 years ago but we remained friends and the others still associate us as being together. The new lady friend feels quilty about dating me even though we do and does not want anybody in the group to know although she knows I told some of the guys. I am for telling everyone.

You've broke up with your ex almost 9 years ago and your friends still don't know? If that's the case they probably don't really care, but tell them if you want, especially if it will make you and your new date more comfortable about dating...

Okay so what you are saying is don't get back with my ex, becuase he might hurt me again.

More to my story:
me and my ex have broken up twice, both times he did it. And the first time he did it his parents made him, because they heard rumors about me that weren't true. And that one day we were only broken up for a day.Then got back togheter. And then he really broke up with me 10 days later. But the weird thing was, the first time he dumped me, i was heart broken, and it was weird becuase it wasn't his choice to dump me. And then when he dumped me the second time, it was his choice and i wasn't heart broken. Yah i cried for like 5 min. but then my friend (who is my boyfriend now) called me and helped me through it. And maybe that is why i like him so much. But anyways, is there something wrong with me....

It's not unusual to have mixed feelings... Sometimes the advice from others might not be what you want to hear... It is important that whatever you choose to do, you really want to. If you don't know what you want, keep things the way they are, until you know what you want (or what you don't want)

The Story:
Okay I have a boyfriend who I have liked for a while, but I recently was just going out with one of his friends, but they are no longer friends. And well anyways my ex-boyfriend I really was in love with, and he broke my heart. And he only did it because he thought there was no trust in the relationship. And then he thought about it all. And 10 days later he told me he still liked me, and was in love with me still, and wants to go back out with me. And at the same exact time he told me that, my friend, well boyfriend now, was asking me out. And I said yes to him. But now my ex-boyfriend is heart broken knowing that i have a boyfriend, who happens to live by him, go to school with him, and they use to be friends. But my ex-boyfriend is so sweet with it all. He asked me once if i was thinking about "dumping" my boyfriend now, and I asked why, and my ex-boyfriend said because he really was in love with me, and hates him self everyday for breaking up with me, and breaking my heart. And I told him I think we should be friends right now, and go back out in high school, or MAYBE a little sooner. And he said what ever makes you happy, just as long as you are happy. And the thing with my ex-boyfriend, who yes i was in love with, and yes at age 13, and go ahead and call it puppy love, but i really do know it was so much more. Anyways, well my ex-boyfriend was really just the best, the only thing that really hurt me was that we didn't get to see eachother that much. And that sucked. But I managed because i knew i still had him in my life, and that made me happy. And me and him also not being able to see eachother often is a parshle reason why i think me and him should go out in high school, that way he could of maybe grown away from always having to do things, and being busy, and we could see eachother more. But....here is the problem i need advice with:

Do I stay with my boyfriend I have now,who I do love.Or break up with him and go out with my ex-boyfriend, who I was in love with, and still could be. Or do I just play it solo?

And one more thing, i don't know if i am having mixed feelings, i think i just might feel bad for my ex-boyfriend.

Some one please help me... :(

About your current boyfriend: Are you happy with him? If yes, don't break up. If no, break up with him regardless of whether you want to get back with your ex...
As with your ex, usually it's not a good idea to get back together with someone that broke up with you...

Okay I got The Sims 2 and like where it is supposed to show you the picture of your family and then also where it is supposed to show you the picture of the sim you are playing as it doesn't show it. My friend has the game too and it shows up on hers. Does anyone know how I can get it to show up? That'd be great.

Jason-17 just got outta jail

HELP ME NOW PLEASE WAT SHALL I DO!!!!!!

You shouldn't really have to consider about your ex when you decide about who to go out with... He's your ex, you already broke up, right?

Go with the other person if you want, but remember, you don't have to go with anyone if you don't want to...

Search on whatever bit torrent program you use... If it's something that isn't known or recent, then it'll generally be harder to find...

Thank's again.

To make your journal friends only:
1: Make a public entry and put "friends only" on it. This is to show people that your journal is friends only.
2: When you want to make a friends only entry, go to the page for making new entries and type. Then scroll down until you see a drop down menu labeled 'Security". Choose 'Friends' and click 'Update Journal'

Hey everyone,

I'm playing a character in play where i have to keep a straight face while someone sings to me in German... does anyone have any advice on how to keep a straight face and not laugh or giggle during the performance?

Practicing always helps... Try to stay focused. Remember, on stage you're not yourself, you're the character that you're playing.
