Well I really really want to get a radio on my iPod nano. But how? Is there a way I can? There's a certain radio channel in my area that I want, but iTunes doesn't have certain radio stations. So can anyone tell how I can do this or give me a website to do so? Or if there's a radio thing on iTunes that someone can recommend and has popular artists, etc, like Avril Lavigne, FOB, MCR, Green Day, etc, I don't really like rap or country. Thanks! (link)
There is one way to get a radio on your iPod. Go into your local Apple store, they have an add on to your iPod you can buy and it puts a radio on your iPod.


I am in this course called GIS and it is requiring us to do a project called road trip starting fro ma major west coast city ending in a major east coast city. I started from Portland OR then went to Salt Lake City UT, Santa Fe NM, Little Rock AK, Blacksburg, Virginia and Then ended in new York City, NY but I live in chicago. I know nothing about Portland or anywhere else and I want to be as specific as possible. can sombody please tell me something they love or hate about the states if you live in it to help me? Thank you (link)
Yes, the person below had a good answer.

Another site I'd reccomend is Wikipedia. Because it's written by the public people who live write things about whichever city your 'visiting' therefore you get all the details you need.


Has anyone ever heard of "extreme home makeover" well me and my family need one..i mean we can't move anywhere without something different like we can't move in the city, we can't afford a 2 story and theres no good houses for us ANYWHERE, my mom just isn't satisfied. Well we've heard of home makeover and they do your whole house well, does your house hafe to be paid off? or does it matter? and do you HAFE to be on tv?? eh!

please help (link)
Because it's a TV show, I'd say it would have to be on TV.

They get funding from ratings, they use that funding on homes, and because it appears on TV they get ratings.

It's a cycle that would break if you weren't on TV.

But don't worry, being on TV wouldn't be too bad!


yeah my friend bryan told me about runescape and said that i should create a profile of myself, bbut i have no idea what its for, you know like m*yspace is for meeting ppl and talking to them, and advicenators is for getting advice, but what is runescape for? (link)
It's a game. Some people use it to socialise sometimes but it's a game where you do quests and kill things, and do many skills.

where did she get her layout? does anyone know? thanks (link)
I have no idea. There's millions of layout sites on the internet and it may be a hard search.

But many websites offer a "layout" stealer. Just enter their friends ID and their layout code will come up.

Here's a website which offers it below:

So there were my step-sisters - boyfriends kids over... and they played MY gamecube for 4 hours straight... and my mom said that if they broke it then she would replace it.... AND THEY BROKE IT, MY GAMECUBE


and my mom said that she would pay $40 for a new one, when they are MORE THAN THAT. But she found a stupid cheap one on ebay. But i spent HOURS playing that, and i bought over $360 worth of stuff for it and all she is giving me is 40 bucks... how gay is that???

i really want a wii, but she said the only way i can get that is for christmas when she PROMISED ME A NEW GAMING SYSTEM... so i am really pissed off.

please help me... and i have start saving up for christmas so i cant go out and buy one my self


from a 13 yeard old girl who is really ticked off!!! (link)
That really sucks.

I think you should talk to your step sister and her boyfriend. Maybe if she, her partner and you're mother all chipped in you'll be able to get at least a new GameCube.

Now, that's the easy part organising that. The hardest part is your arguement. Maybe write a mini essay, and remember all essays have 4 paragraphs and introduction and a conclusion. Now let's move on before I go all 'teacherlike' on you.

Weigh out the pros and cons. Write up good arguments for your case, and good counter-arguments to what they may say. For example:

"I believe you should all help pay for my GameCube. Mum, you promised if they broke it you'd pay for a new one. Sis, you were there when it happened you should have been keeping an eye out on them. Sis' partner, it's your kids."

Here's some counter-arguments. Your mum may say she contributed 40 bucks. You'd obviously say "But it costs more and you did PROMISE to buy a new one" your sister may say that your mum let them use it. You'd say "But you still should have been keeping an eye out on them" and your step sister's partner might say "I wasn't even there" you'd reply with "But it's your kids who broke it, it's just POLITE TO DO IT"

Then present a convincing argument to them. Sorry it's so long...hope I helped.


Well, my boyfriend got homecoming king and he told me and he said "I don't know who the queen is but I really don't care."


So, he's probably going to be dancing with another girl...I'm so scared tho..
what do I do? (link)
I know these things can be a bit of a worry but just smile and be happy for him! It's just a dance, nothing bad can happen. You'll be in the same room as him and you can keep your eyes on him to see if he does anything bad. But it's just a dance, so you'll be fine!


In brief, I hate my stepdad, and have done for about 3 or 4 years now. Because of this, I ant to get unadopted (if that’s possible) from him. I am currently 15 years old.

When I was 2, my parents separated, and left me, my mum, and my 6 month old brother. When I was 7, my mum met my stepdad, and he helped her because she had a thyroid problem, which had left her in bed for the majority for a year. Before they got married, he was very kind and always played with us, and always smiled. It stayed like this for a couple of years after their marriage, and why I said he could adopt me. I now regret this because as years have gone on, and he has gotten more angry and short-tempered. He used to hit both me and my brother, but thankfully he has stopped that after I had punched him in the stomach after he shouted at me for being tired at a wedding party. However, he still hits my brother and step-brother. My stepbrother is nuisance because of the way my step-dad treats him, and this can be seen in my bother too. He still shouts at us though, and all he ever does is do ‘work’ on his laptop – reading the news from 8am until 10pm. Recently, I have shouted at him because he hurts my brothers for no reason. After that, I have run away from him, and have talked to my mum saying that when I am older I am going to pay for a divorce.

If anyone knows how to get unadopted or any tips, please tell me as I am sick of him. (link)
I am sorry to hear this. I really am. A lot of step fathers don't realise the commitments of bringing up someone else's child with or without their partners and then sad things like this happens.

I suggest you talk this over with your mum. Say how it's making you feel, and how bad it can be in the long run, physically and mentally for you and your brothers.

If she can't do anything go to a local police station. They'd know about unadoption and child abuse. If you have no way of getting there or you're too scared or something, go to a teacher or a school counsillor. They HAVE to deal with things like this if a student comes up to them. They'll either already know what to do and tell you all about it or they'll do some research for you, or set you up with an appointment with the right people.

Just remember (and I don't mean to go all 'anti-police/government on you) if the police don't do anything/say they will and they won't don't give up. Go to a teacher. The police WILL do something but I've heard stories and that's just in case.

And always remember you're doing nothing wrong. It's your step dad and everything will go right if you just hang on and wait.


Where are some good places that is just random to makeout at? I already took my boyfriend in a elevator! and we went to a park=] so yeah any ideas?


thanks in advance=] (link)
Ahahaha, elevator. That's pretty awesome.

Well, I can't suggest any places myself but I can help give you advice. Make sure it isn't too public, I know I don't really like seeing a couple going for it like wild. It doesn't matter if it's a public place with a few people around but yeah, don't make out in places like a train or a bus.

Maybe something that means something to you both? Like say you both enjoy music, maybe a concert would be fun (Ignore what I said about 'public places' for that. People can do crazy shit there) if you enjoy movies well...haha yeah. Theatre is pretty obvious yeah?

Well, you'll think of something. Sorry to not be much of a help.


my litle brother is 11, and he is trying to decide what he should wear for halloween?

PS. Dont say disney channel, hes more into watching mtv and vh1. But dont say really scary costumes. (link)
Not really scary costumes?

Well, you could go with something less traditional.

Maybe someone he looks up to, like a rock star or another type of celebrity. You did say he watched MTV and VH1.


ok so i am 20 f and i recently mustered the courage to go to a counselor and tell her i am having personal issues with my family and roommate and stuff. thing is i don't think it has to do with "my constant change in environment" "trauma" or "confinement". granted they may have a role in playing crucial issues in why i am going mad... but after two sessions she thinks i don't need counseling anymore! i mean i told her i hear the voices when i am alone and i told her about my mood swings and my extra sensitivity to what people say.... she gave me a self help book and boom... i know i can seem very collected and very mature but thats because i hate other people knowing that there is something wrong with me. its a habit now and i fear if i say anything they'll think i made it up to get attention or something... anyway so i want to tell her that i am sure i get anxiety attacks at night and that the only way to calm myself is getting out in the am and walking in the city! i do that some times when it gets really bad but i can't do that all the time there is a rapist on the lose you know!! 3 bodies and a hospitalized girl were found near by :s i want to tell her what i am feeling but i don't want it to seem like this girl who has it good is craving for attention you know? the drama queen... i think i may need prescription or something it's getting out of hand.... help! what should i say? (link)
The person below gave VERY good advice. Do that.

But here's my two cents: These counsillors see people like you everyday. They're not dumb (...usually) and can see the different between an attention seeker and someone who's being geniune. They're trained to. They'll probably ask questions about it, and it's the answers and details that set apart the attention seekers from the people with real problems. You need to tell her the truth in order to get better sooner.


ok so look i really like this guy and i thought he liked me to but the other day i found out he got married and now i dont know what ot do i am so depressed i really want to forget about him for good what should i do.GELP ME!!!!!! (link)
I don't think this is a real question...just a satire attack at some questions on this site.

Sorry to say but I think you should go outside, and get a life. Some people on here have serious issues and you're taking up advice givers spaces and efforts. I know some questions on here are REALLY silly, but a hypocritical protest isn't the way to stop them.


15/f
my bday's coming up and i want to get my second hole in my ear pierced, but my parents are really against it. any ideas to convince them why it's a good idea? i need to know as soon as possiblee.

thanksssss
(link)
There's nothing wrong with it.

The only thing I can think of is they think it might make you look cheap. Explain to them that if you get the right earrings it looks cute, not cheap. Then explain to them about how some teens get some inappropriate places and how innocent a second hole is compared to that.

If that's not the case, explain to them that there is nothing wrong with getting second holes done. Your ears are fine, and they don't get infected easily or anything.


im wondering why everyone tells me im so pretty, yet guys don't think it. its not like me to really care, but its still a thought i keep in the back of my mind. guys see pretty as skinny blondes who are only fit to be in cover of Vouge. but when a girl tells you your pretty, they see it in greater detail. the color or you hair, eyes, skin tone; a different kind of pretty. when i look in the mirror, i look past the fact that im not a tall skinny blonde. i see how many shades of colors are in my hair, and i see how it brings out my eyes. yeah, im not the skinniest girl-- but im not really all that fat. i was raised to eat healthy, and i do. actually, i don't eat all that much junk food. yeah, sometimes i eat some candy, or even cake, but its not really all that much. im average. but yet people tease me about my weight, claiming that im over 120-- sometimes even say im 140. but im not. and who really cares, anyway? looks have become so important to people. so important, they look past the really nice, good people, who are actually interesting and have a greater IQ than their shoe size.

sorry its not really a question..
so here is the real one:
why is it guys think so differently?
im sure that there is at least ONE guy who thinks in greater detail, right? (link)
Guys don't look for beautiful in relationships in their teens. Guys look at who will 'satisfy' their needs. But when they grow older and mature they start seeing more details to a girls beauty than blonde, skinny and large chested.

I know it's a pain, and all us girls have to live and wait, but one day it'll change.


Is there any social workers on here? or a person that knows about what classes to take?

i dont want to takl to someone that "heard" about it or researhced it.


please, i want to know a lot of questions.and id love to talk to them through e-mail.

(link)
I don't know if there's any on here but...

Talk to your school counsillor. He/she might be able to set up an appointment where you can have an interview with a social worker and ask all the questions that are needed. That way it's face to face and you don't need to worry about if they really are one or not, or if they'll reply or not.

You school might even have a school social worker that comes in on certain days. Mine does, and I didn't even know about her until my school counsillor set me up with her.


On my iPod, I have the free podcasts of "Pride and Prejudice" to listen to. The issue is, none of them are in order (ex. Volume 2, Chapter 1 comes before Volume 1, Chapter 7). It really annoys me that I can't seem to find a way to make them order properly. Any help please? (link)
Open up iTunes. Right click on the podcasts and click "info"

Now I'm not sure with podcasts because I never download any but this works with songs.

After that at the top there will be tabs. Click "info"

Then in track number of that podcast type in the number it is (For example, if you had 10 volumes, and it was volume 1 you'd put "1 of 10" in the track number) then it will appear first. Do this with all of them.

Hope I helped!




i am almost seventeen and came out of this period of about two years where everything was going wrong. my attitude has completely tuned around now and everything is different. i want to mark it with a tattoo, but i don't know anything about it.

i want a black outline of a sparrow,
i do not know where yet, but if someone could tell me how much they cost, where it hurts the most/least and anything else you think i should know,
besides warning me about it being a lifetime commitment,
i would greatly appreciate it.
much, much, love. sarah. (link)
As the person below said it depends on the person. I got told the upper arm hurts a lot, even more than if you were to get your breasts tattooed.

I've also been told the below body has the least amount of pain, like your hip or just above your buttocks.

But that's what I've been told. Doesn't mean it's true. Good luck with your tattoo!


There was this show on the "n" its usualy on late. And there was this girl Darah who had daek hair [redish brown] and she was one of those weird artsy people and she always watched this show call weird sick world which was also the name of the magazine she read. She had a really preppy sister whom was blonde and stupid. He dad was a push over the mom was a blonde who worked a lot they also ate lasnga every night.


HELP! What was it called!? (link)
I haven't watched it in years as they stopped showing it here...but I'm pretty sure the show you're talking about is called "Daria"


My boyfriend and I both work at Six Flags, and we're both seventeen years old. On October 4th, we're going to an employee party and we wanted to dress up for the costume contest. The two ideas we had in mind, were:

- Fifties couple.
- Bacon & Eggs.
[http://www.spirithalloween.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/categoryID/66EEC82B-8D52-4DBE-93F9-28D6C0F1C6AD/productID/766701EA-C27A-4509-AE20-E24A64A01F9E?UTM_Campaign=FR&CAWELAID=52226658]
That's the picture to the bacon & eggs costume, so you can get an idea of what it would look like. Me and my boyfriend are known for being funny, so I think we'd be able to pull off the bacon & eggs thing, yet, I think the fifties couple would be nicer in a way.

We'd also, probably go trick or treating with his little sister, so we'd wear it then. Also, there's events downtown where people dress up, so yeah.

Any ideas would be appreciated. We'd like to dress up as like, things that go together. Not like separate if that makes sense.
(: Thank you very much. (link)
I think the best couple halloween costume EVER would be the characters 'Jack and Sally' from The Nightmare before Christmas. Except obviously you're trying to be funny, and your rep would go down the drain.

I think the bacon & eggs idea would be funny. It's random, and original. No one else would do it and you'd stand out in the crowd. I suggest you do that.


14/f

I know its a while away(like a month and a half- 2), but i like to plan ahead of time.
our anniversary(one year) is october 25. and his birthday is november 12. i wanted some ideas of what i could get him. and for our anniversary i wanted to get him something to show how much i love him.
idk, he had a great idea for my birthday present (which he told me, but never gave me, and my b-day was a month ago...)

so ya, can you please help me? (link)
Sex! No...I'm kidding.

No matter how cheesy and cliche this may sound, if you want to show him how much you love him don't go for something material. Go for something that means a lot to you or him or reflects on something in your relationship. But if that something is something material then go for it. Here are some ideas:

- Something he likes
- Something you like
- Something that reminds you of your relationship
- Something that reminds you of something that's happened in your relationship
- Something that will reflect what you think will happen in the future

They're a few lame examples, you can think of something much better!
