I can't remember the name of this song...does anyone know? I don't know the exact lyrics but its something like:

And i thought of all the bad stuff and all the troubles we went through, how i found me and you found you.

Its kind of a slow song if that helps..

thanks so much! (link)
Don Henley (Eagles and solo) is probably the most 'heard' artist who has done this song...

You can preface a Google search with the word 'lyrics" when you know the name of the song, or just enter in whatever string of the words that you know and will most often come up with good results.


I'm a 21 f my friend is pregnant and freaking a little she is like 5'0 and 110 she isn't a big person. she has been watching too much tv in my opinion but she keeps thinking that when she has her baby it will get stuck in the birth canal cause she is little. its scareing me a little too since were the same size is this possible please help i want to calm her down and don't know how thanx (link)
Sounds just like my wife; 20 years old, 4'11" and 106 pounds when she vaginally delivered our 9.3 pound son.

I don't know any details other than that, and that it went as well as expected. No damage to her or anything like that.

Best of luck to her!


Hey,
So I've been trying really hard to find a gift for my 19 year old boyfriend. I'm going to visit him at home for the first time in a few days (we met in college and live about 2 hrs apart) and I want to get him something really special. I don't even know. We said we wouldn't spend too much money on each other. We've been together for about 3 months. Thanks. (link)
Yup, I agree with RavenRun. (I'm a happily married guy.)

Especially having been apart for a while, all he's really going to want is time with you. Make him something if you're 'crafty,' cook him a nice dinner if that's something that you can do...

The big thing is to just be together. I like to take my wife to dinner, (so that she doesn't have to cook), then just take a leisurely walk, sit at the lake or even cuddle on the couch and talk.

I'm certain that you'll find 'something really special' is YOU!

Best Regards...


Well, you could say I'm not really the popular type. It's not that I'm extremely unpopular either, I'm just pretty nerdy in general, because I'm interested in learning and adult life. That type of aura around me which is "I don't anything about pop culture" kind of drives off people. That, plus, I'm not that athletic (sort of, but not really).

I don't really mind being unpopular in school, but I swim on a team, and I'm in a fast group but am slow. I'm guessing my popularity and my speed (though I'm not the slowest!) attribute to the fact that I'm ALWAYS picked last in relays (races with many people).

This just really makes me feel bad. Is there anything I can do always after my relay to make me feel better when I am inevitably chosen last?

(link)
Have you seen "Back to the Future?" When the high school football star / cool guy is waxing your car, you will have had the last laugh.

Certainly this is an over-simplification, but with the intent to help. Unless you plan on working in a field that requires fast relay-race times, it's all pretty much just nonsense that you have to put up with for now.

I was in the same boat that you're in now, and know that thinking about your future life doesn't help a great deal in accepting your current one. There isn't a lot that can be said to ease your legitimate feelings - just hang in there, it will get better.

This isn't much, but I hope that it helps! Best of luck to you.


Ok so what i have isnt fully "Tittitnus" basically i filmed a freinds band practice on the 21'st, i came away from it with all sorts of wierd tones ringing away in my head. My hearing was slightly muffled as well (untill the muffled...-ness went this morning about 10 hours after i came away from practice) The worst of the ringing has passed, but i still have a slight tone in the background of my mind thats there when there's no noise around to cover it up.

i was exposed to the (stupidly) high volumes for no more than 2 hours. Does anyone know how much longer this could go on for?

I went to a festival for over 10 hours before and my hearing wasnt half as bad as it was last night, and that was just 2 hours! ha, weell thanks in advance for all answer's. (link)
Here's an excellent webpage on the subject that provides a number of different scenarios.

I hope this helps!

i am a Ghanaian.How can i have a very huge buttocks and my large breast reduced without having surgery (link)
Um, this woman is talking about REDUCTION, not adding more...

I don't think that there is much you do about your breasts (without surgery) other than to lose weight in general. Typically, overall weight loss in a woman also means some reduction in breast size.

Also, too, you have to know that genetics plays in a part in this. If people in your family, (mother, father, etc.), are larger, then you may find non-surgical change to be very difficult to maintain.

- Watching the type of food that you eat can help quite a bit. I'm not sure what the normal diet would be like in your country, but anybody anywhere should avoid fatty foods. Leafy greens, vegetables in general, fruits and fish will put you on the right track.

- Exercise: Google something like 'reduce size of buttocks' and you'll find information on exercises that can help. Here's one to get you started:

This is very general, but I hope that it helps.


I've had a Sony Cybershot 7.2 for about 3 years. I wanted to get something different so I bought a camera today thats the Nikon Coolpix s6000. The zoom and picture color is great; however, it sometimes gets blurry when the guy at the store told me it didn't. The Sony camera, has kind of a fuzzy lighter coloring to it. It makes my teeth look whiter and in the Nikon it doesn't. Hahah well, my question is, is the Nikon Coolpix s6000 a good digital camera? I wanted to try a nikon because a lot of my friends said it's a great quality and stuff and I didn't want to get the touchscreen one so I got this one. (link)
Consumer reviews are often helpful, as long as you keep in mind that you're reading reviews from a mix of people. You have to sort of average out between those who find it challenging to turn it on (and so complain about nonsense) and those who love it simply because they spent their money on it.

Google something like 'Nikon Coolpix s6000 review' and check the websites that allow reviews. Here is Amazon and Newegg to get you started.

Best Regards...

Alright im about to start my own computer business and i need a contract that explains everything i do not want to miss anything well its going to be a computer repair business and do not want to be screwed if i have legal issues so can someone help me it would be greatly appreciated (link)
I work in Desktop Support for a major insurance company, and do some work on the side. I haven't gone with an 'official' agreement, but have considered it...

Google "computer repair agreement" and you'll get quite a few relevant hits. Just check to see what others are using and copy & paste to suit your own needs.

You may also try Best Buy, Staples or wherever else. Tell them that you're thinking about computer repair (which is not a lie!) and that you first want to see what you'd have to agree to.

I hope that helps!


okaay, the other day my friend bumped into the computer desk and the screen fell on the keyboard and pressed the keys. and then the color of everything has a pink tint. idk how to change it back. nothing is wrong with the screen. its the computer.what do i do.? (link)
There are only a couple things that could cause this, UNLESS THE MONITOR WAS PHYSICALLY DAMAGED BY THE FALL.

- Look for a button on the monitor that will bring up the settings menu. Look for something along the lines of 'factory reset' or 'restore defaults.'

- If the computer is a desktop, check the video cable connection at the monitor and at the computer. Make sure that both are securely screwed down.

- If the computer is a laptop on a docking station, make sure that the laptop is firmly docked. You might want to shut it down, remove it from the dock and then re-dock with very firm pressure on both the left and right rear corners.

(Bad docking often causes an all pink or an all blue tint, garbled output from a local printer, bad or no network connectivity, etc.)

- If this is a desktop computer, with the video coming from an expansion card, (not onboard video), then you might want to shutdown the computer, remove the power cable, remove the video cable from the card and pop the cover. Remove and reinstall the video card, making sure that it's firmly seated.

(If the fall of the monitor caused the video cable to stretch out, it may have caused the expansion card to rise up from the slot. Some of the new 'screwless' systems for expansion cards aren't able to provide the stability that the old screw-type can.)

I hope this helps!


names kayla, well long story short i have been with my husband for 8 years and hes deployed right now. he will be home in 2 months though. my mama who was a best friend to me passed away this year on mothers day. well i have never been on my own i have always had my husband or a family members living with me. with that said i have recently cheated on my husband for the first time ever.i really dont have the answers to why i did what i did but i feel ugly for doing so. i share everything with this man but i dont know if i should wait to tell him when he comes home from iraq or should i tell him now? (link)
I completely agree with the others who have said that you should NOT tell the poor guy while he's in Iraq.

I'm not going to comment further...


I cheated on my boyfriend in the summer twice with my ex. Because he made me feel so insecure about our relationship. He never gave me a lot of attention, he never called me. He didn't text me very fast. My ex gave me a lot of attention and made me feel loved. And my boyfriend never gets jealous about other guys except my ex because we went out for 2 years. Also I get really jealous if my boyfriend talks to other girls or hangs out with them. My ex kept coming back to me even when I was going out with him. I keep cheating on my boyfriend with him though. Now I stopped. I feel guilty about it because I think my boyfriend has never cheated on me. I just don't trust him. Because he talks to a lot of girls and never gives me a lot of attention. All he does is buy me gifts and its always jewlery. But i feel guilty that I cheated. My best friend told me he deserved it. My boyfriend still doesnt know i cheated on him. On our anniversary last month my ex texted me. And my boyfriend responded to his text. And my ex's answer was "were more than just friends" and he got so mad. And his mom asked me if I was being unfaithful and I said no and lied. What should i do? Ive never cheated on a guy EVER. I've been cheated on before. Guys have left me for other people. How can I deal with this relationship? I need help from someone :( (link)
A couple things:

A burglar's home is the most secure because he assumes that other people will do what he does and steal. You cheat whenever the old boyfriend shows up (for what he knows he can get) so you assume it of your current boyfriend.

If you have concerns regarding your current relationship, you need to either talk it out or end it. I'm pretty sure that you're not going to improve it by fooling around.

You might want to keep your pants on until you make a firm decision on how to proceed.


basicly theres this guy who used to like e and i rejected him, now i like him and now hes way outof my leage and we never talk.

does anyone know how to simply position an iframe in the center of the page? i'm trying to make the code as simple as possible. the iframe is just in the center of the page but at the top

This is the least elegant thing that you'll see, but it does work: How about inserting a few of these, below, until you have it where you need it? Or even, perhaps, put it in a table and center the whole thing:




 
 
 
 
 
 





i got this brand new computer for graduation and it has windows 7 installed. it doesn't allow me to delete, drag, or drop icons or folders like my former computer with vista had. what should i do? trade it in for a better computer or have them install a new program or is there a settings option for the control of icons and folders? i'm no computer expert so this is beyond me. i googled windows 7 drag and drop problem and found that i'm not the only one. (link)
No sir, don't give up on it. It sounds like a permissions issue and shouldn't be all that hard to sort out. Win7 should work essentially the way that Vista did, but much more smoothly.

As with pretty much any Windows process, there are a multitude of ways to accomplish the same goal. What you run into along the way helps determine the best course of action.

Here's a good place to start. You said that you can't delete a folder the way things are now.

ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO DELETE A SYSTEM FOLDER, do the following to test my permissions theory:

- Go to Start and enter the following into the search box: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

Without even hitting Enter, that will bring up explorer.exe at the top of the menu:

- Right click explorer.exe and choose "Run as Administrator" from the menu. Click Yes to the prompt(s) that follow, allowing the action.

- Now try to delete the (non-system) folder that you couldn't delete before. I'm guessing that you will be able to.

Fixing this may be as simple as the following, but it should be noted that increasing the allowed permissions of an account may also increase the security risk for a less aware user.

Also, you may be logging into a Standard user account, where you might have the option of using another account with increased rights.

- Go to Start and enter in "user" to bring up the option of User Accounts on the menu. Click on User Accounts.

- Click Change Your Account TYPE

- See if your account is set as Standard or Administrator. (I'm guessing that it's Standard.) If it's Administrator, then fixing the broader permissions issue is slightly more complex.)

I hope this helps, or at least gets you on the right track.


ok this is stupid but whatever. my boyfriend is completely loyal and i trust him completely. but he like calls this girl wifey and theyre acquaintances not best friends or even close or anything. should i feel weird? or am i over-exaggerating? its not like he likes her but is that flirty of him hes all like "you can be my wifey" and im like wut.. k thanks ! (link)
No ma'am, it's NOT stupid. When your internal alarm goes off, pay attention! You have every right to question what's going on here.

What's going on may just be two old friends goofing around, but it may also be that he's making this seem like joking around when, in fact, he'd like to be true.

(Kind of like if you were mad at someone, call them a jerk, and then smile and say that you were just kidding, when you really weren't. I'm not sure of the psychology behind that, but I'll bet that we've all done it at least once.)

I'm big on communication: tell him how you feel about this. He may have no idea that you're bothered by it, (which you are or you wouldn't have posted here.) Talk with him about this and help him to understand that it makes you uncomfortable. If he cares about you, he'll stop doing it.

Best regards...

Hi - try Googling this phrase:

"50's retro room theme"

I got a number of seemingly good hits; from photos to online catalogs with old signs, furniture and other related stuff.

I hope that helps. It sounds like you've got a fun project to work on!


are you being fake if your being too nice to a person you dont like? lets say you dont want to talk to them but when the person starts talking to them you end up talking to the person you dont like because you are too nice to say "i dont want to talk to you" so you talk behind that person's back? (link)
Funny timing... I very recently passed a couple Harley riders sitting in the shade of a local park. One of them had a flame paint scheme that I knew a cousin was interested in getting for his own bike.

I drove my cousin back to talk to the bikers, and was there for the conversation. He was all nice and pleasant - (and they struck me as good guys.)

Once he had the information that he needed, name of the paint shop, etc., we took off. On the ride back to his house, all he could talk about was the dirty "scumbags" who almost certainly sold drugs to kids to buy those bikes. (They were probably actually wannabe dentists.)

I guess that's a little off track, sometimes I ramble. It's not a perfect world and we're not going to like everybody that we meet. You don't have to go out of your way to converse with someone that you don't like, but there is no reason to not be civil, either. You can always find an excuse, if necessary, to break away from the conversation. I wouldn't recommend, however, talking about the person behind his back - that's not good for them OR for you.

I know that this will sound horribly cliche, but cliche's are around for a reason. (There is some measure of truth to them.) It seems as though you may start off as being "fake nice" to someone, but if you give them a chance you may find your attitude has changed and they're not so bad after all.

Best regards...



This may be a bit long, Bare with me.

As long as I could remember I've always had trouble showing emotions, When someone gives me a gift I don't really know how to show appreciation or say thank you in a way I appreciate it. When someone hurts themselves, I have this nasty tendency to laugh...not because I think it's funny but I don't know how to react. If someone greets me with a hello..I act awkward and smile and say "Hi" under my breath which most of the time you can't even hear it. In a crowded area, I'm always the one to sit nearest to the door looking for a way out and I would prefer not to talk to people and I have friends but most of the time I don't really feel like seeing them instead I'd rather just do my own thing and talk over the computer or through text messages. I don't know what is wrong with me, I have social anxiety and I have depression but I'm on medication for it and I feel great! but I still don't know why I act this way...Sometimes I question myself if I have some sort of autism but I'm not sure of the signs or symptoms. Can anyone explain to me what they think? (Preferably people who actually know what they are talking about...)
thank you (link)
I could have written this about myself. I work in a very active environment that requires frequent contact with other people. Restricted to the job and job-related things, I can talk all day. Change to a more social conversation and I'm done. I can't even carry on a decent conversation with my own team of co-workers, people that I spend every workday with.

Let me tell you what I think is responsible for this in ME, and perhaps you can see if any of it is applicable to you.

My father was a caring, loving man, but was worked practically day and night. When he was home, he was clearly tired, but did make time as best he could for the family. He was a laid back man, it took a lot to ruffle his feathers.

My mother, on the other hand, left in charge of pretty much every aspect of family life, was the polar opposite. She was controlling and demanding. Everything was her way, or it was wrong. If she gave me a dustpan and broom to clean up spilled dog food, I got in one or two sweeps and then she took over because I wasn't "doing it right." That happened with everything.

I can see the things that you write about in myself. I have no confidence in myself, despite some accomplishments that I know are exceptional. I go out of my way to avoid social contact, although I am very happily married. (To a very understanding wife, it goes without saying.)

I don't know if this has helped you see that, at the very least, you are not alone. I also don't know if this has helped at all - I hope that it has.

If you are basing your concern ONLY on what you've written here, you defintely do not have autism. (Or we both do, I guess.)

In a nutshell, I think that enviroment and/or genetic programming is responsible for the way that we are. I also think that it's just something that IS. A line from a movie that I no longer remember goes: "It is what it is."

It's not the way that I would choose to be. I'll be standing in line at a supermarket or filling up my gas tank and someone will just start talking to me. I've always felt envious of their ability to do that. Though not stupid, the problem more often than not is that I can't think of anything worthwhile to say.... but I can type far more than most people are willing to read. (Grin)

I wish you all the best, and hope that you can find peace with the way that you are.


A few years ago my girlfriend went the the doctor and she has polyps they said it didnt seem bad just come every year for a check up. Well she wont and resfuses to go to the doctor she has had blood in her stool and has actually bleed after shes done in the bathroom. I am really worried I read up it could be something simple but she wont go and it hurts knowing something could possibly happen to her. How can I get her to go? (link)
Some people are afraid of doctors, I have a friend like that.

Polyps can be benign, but they can also become cancerous. Check out this information from the Mayo Clinic and then get her to a doctor!

When spending the night at a friend’s home I was jumped on and knocked down by his pack of wolfhounds (ten dogs) and fell on to my knees. There was no flooring only concrete I asked if he had homeowner insurance, he said yes but did not give it to me. This was 4 weeks ago I have not seen a doctor I have no insurance or money to do so. Knee is hurt for sure. Can I go to the doctor and then try to find the Insurance Company to discuss this matter (link)
You might consider small claims court, that may be the easiest approach for you at this point.

Be sure to document everything first, though. Send a certified, "signature required" letter (saving a copy for yourself) that clearly describes the incident, and that you require medical attention and expect him to see to it that this is accomplished, whether through his insurance or out of pocket.

Good luck with your knee!
