About MaxwellsSilverHammer



I am a 20 year urban planning student from New York. I go to school, and work, way too much.

I'm a level II mod on this site, so if you have questions regarding the site I could be of good help.

As for my crappy advice: it is crappy. If you listen to anything I suggest you will most probably find yourself running through town naked, or something equally hilarious, because I am a sadist.

And of course, I will hit you with my guitar, and then steal all of your intelligence for my own personal stash.

(My avatar, that is just above, was made by Draak, it is Thor's Hammer, or Mjolner.)

P.S.: Storageanddisposal is actually 12, and Fern sucks.

Does anyone know the average height&weight for a 14 year old girl? thanks

Around 100 pounds and just over 5 feet, according to to some sites I checked.

But that's only the average, and at age 14 girls can probably be very far from that average depending on how you're progressing with puberty.

I have cable tv and dsl internet. How can I get my xbox online? What do I have to buy? Do I have to register with someone? Help please

You need:

1. A router.
2. An ethernet cable to go from your router to your Xbox.
3. An Xbox Live subscription, which you can either buy subscription cards for, or have a credit card billed.

Also, you can purchase a headset, which is optional. If you want it, you should get this and the subscription card together in an Xbox Live Starter Kit.

Go to a video game store to buy all of this.

Lately, it seems that no matter what I eat or drink, after a few minutes of doing so, I start feeling extremely nauseous and sometimes I even throw up. It's not voluntary; I don't do it on purpose so I'm not like bulimic or anything. Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be happening?


It was happening around May a few months ago too and I went to the doctor. They ran tests and everything but could find anything wronge medically.

I would suggest you go to a different doctor, a gastrointestinal specialist if you just went to your regular pediatrician last time. They must have missed something, or maybe after all these months something has become more visible/detectable.

7 months ago i moved to maine. from florida well i left my ex down there and i really love him and he loves me just not as much as i love him. well im 17 and ill be 18 in october. over the summer i plan on going to florida to visit. well i really don't want to come back i hate it here so much. i have like 5 friends and it just sucks.

i dont have alot of money to live on my own with but i have tons of family and friends or even my ex that i could move in with.

I'm wondering if i should just drop the idea or try n talk to my parents about it.

just so you know my ex and i are not together because i cannot do long distance relationships. But i do love him.

Tell me what you think. and ill Rate you

Before you abandon your life in Maine, you should really make sure that when you go there, you'll be financially secure and whatnot. If you're moving down there, you need a backup plan down there.

Like, if you move in with your ex, but for some reason need to move out, you should know before you even go if you have DEFINITE backup, because I've had friends who thought their family would let them stay with them but didn't in similar situations.

I'm not sure what category this really goes under, but I was curious on birth control.. Does it just make pmsing on a certain schedule so you know when? does it stop it for a certain amt of time? How does it work?

So... ignoring what that other person said...

The pill regulates your cycle, meaning that you'll know when your period will come exactly, and it will likely regulate your PMS (if that happens to you) arrival and length.

I had to work today for the huge boxing day sale at our store. My shift started a 8 in the morning. For the first 6 hours things were going well, but the last hour of my shift was a nightmare. My boss called me to the back and told me to finish pricing some items on the shelf that hadnt been marked down yet. Then she drilled me about why the work hadnt been finished on christmas eve. I told her that it had been extremely busy with customers and that one of the staplers broke down that we were using to tag onto the clothing. She didnt buy it and said " oh so thats your explanation? " She asked me what I did about the stapler and I told her I talked to one of the managers and then she asked for her name and what she told me. It was like she didnt believe me or something. I was really upset because I worked my ass of on Christmas Eve and she thinks I was slacking off. There was no way I could have got all the work done with the volume of customers we had that day that needed to be served. She also blasted me for pricing something wrong by one little digit and said it was a "huge" mistake and could cost the department a lot of money.
Now I'm worried I'm going to get canned. I've only been with the store for up to two months and so far I've been an excellent employee, i've never phoned in sick and have showed up for all my shifts with enthuisam and am a hard worker.
Should I be worried? I have two days off and I'm hoping she'll calm down.
She also said that she wasnt just singling me out and that she was mad at some other girls who workd Xmas eve as well. And do you think she was being a little unfair to me?
thanks

I can understand her reaction, it's an incredibly important business time of the year and if something's not going ideally, a boss can get annoyed.

She might cool down after 2 days... and she might just use the two plays to plan to get rid of you.

Does your boss have a superior that you can talk to? If not, you can just see if it blows over. If it doesn't, she'll probably talk to you before she just fires you -- most bosses do that, which will give you an opportunity to explain to her what happened.

I am aware that this will not get an award for brevity, but humor me.

Background info: I am someone who is known to have an incredibly individual, crazy, random style. I love uniqueness, and I hate wearing things that I know what 1 million other people are wearing. This goes for anything of the sort, whether it's a studded belt or a short little Hollister skirt- BUT this question is mostly geared towards the latter (to clarify, the clothing that the so-called "pretty people" wear).

I'm really trying to comprehend how people can like clothing like what is sold at Hollister or those type of stores. I guess it's almost humorous since I know the majority of people ask the same question about my outfits a good deal of the time- what could she possibly be thinking with that outfit? But I just don't understand...and I'm honestly trying to be as accepting of others expressions as I wish they would be of my own.

What joy do you get out of wearing these mass manufactured clothes that aren't even worth taking two looks at? They are so BORING and unoriginal and so..lacking in any creativity. Not to mention, those skirts practically show butt cheeks and things I DO NOT WANT TO SEE! EW! Between the false advertising (Feefee's stupid ass coconut shack, etc.) and the atrocious amount of skin shown, I can only wonder what America's "pretty people" are thinking and if they really are so "pretty."

Can someone please help me understand?

You're right, it's pretty stupid.

Want to know why people will shop at Hollister by the masses, or dress up in a degrading manner?

Take a sociology class.

I am 16/F. At home I don’t use panty or any thing underneath to feel relax . I feel uncomfortable always wearing so many things, my skin not so good with elastic materials. Few days back I was alone at home in my room wearing frock, no panty. Door bell rang , my uncle was there. We were sitting in living room on opposite sofas and have a chat on various topics as he visited almost after two months. After about one hour suddenly my mind sparked and I realized that I was without underwear and uncle must have seen my private parts. So I swiftly change my sitting position. Uncle left the home after half an hour. This incident was worst for me. I am feeling embarrassment as my uncle might think about my acts and character. Please advice me what should I do for my piece of mind. Should I explain my uncle the situation.

NJ

Are you sure he saw? Because I don't know if he did. If I saw a family member's private parts from my sitting position, I would get up and move immediately. It's possible he never even saw.

You should probably try to find out if he did, by going to talk to him and seeing if he acts weird. If he does, then yes, I would explain it to him exactly how you explained it to us. And you should probably tell him you're going to wear panties from now on.

G/14. I have a bulky poster but I am worried about my hips size, at this age I have 34 inches. I don’t like big, abnormal hips. I m more worried due to heredity, my mom has also big size around 40. I am afraid with the miracles (so called) sliming products due to their worst side effects. Once mom use a sliming gel but she got nothing just continuous itching on her hips. Please give me a good advice. It is appreciable if you tell me your personal experience if you have.

Woried.

There is nothing you can do to make your hips less wide. You can try and tone down any excess fat you might have in the area, but you can't make your actual bones smaller.

hi
i am from iran
our teacher of physic s has asked us to bild a car and for the theory of it he had asked us to give the reason for the budy of the car we have made now i want to sk u that why should the front wheels of the car be larger than the rear
wheels how does it make thhe car go faster than before
i am waiting to hear about ur anser aas soon as posiible

Do you mean bigger wheels in the BACK and not the front?

Because if that's the case, if you're going down and incline it's to make sure the car doesn't flip over.

The only way having bigger wheels in the front will make you go faster is if the car accelerates with some sort of engine and not just with gravity or you pushing it, and only with the front wheels.

As for a formula... well, arc length can be represented by:

arc = (radius of the wheel)(angle rotated)
or s = rΘ

A greater arc length = a greater distance traveled.

Ok I don't really get this so could someone please explain to me how to do it thanks...

Rewrite the equation in slop-intercept form.
y-3=-2(x+1)

Thanks!

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

m = the slope
b = the intercept, or where the line crosses the y-axis.

y-3 = -2(x+1)

How many fingers am I holding up? If you guess right, I won't kill you. Here's a hint, it's not a whole number.

I will guess 10 so if I am over I can bite off any number of digits to make it the correct number.

I have a small note I want to send to my boyfriend, and I only know the basics of Italian and French, so I can't really translate the whole thing. I know Spanish, but of course that's not too romantic. Anyways, this is for our 3 month anniversary note, please translate it in Italian, if you can't do Italian, French pleaseee?! I need it to be special. Thanks!

Here's the note:

Wow, I can't believe it's been three months already. It seems like we've been together for so much longer! I can't imagine if you and I weren't together; you're definitely the most important person in my life. I love you, always and forever.

Thanks! I'll rate if you actually translate it for me! Thank youuuu.

Distorsione di velocità, non posso credere che sia stata di tre mesi già. Sembra come siamo stati insieme per così tanto più lungamente! Non posso immaginare se voi ed io non foste insieme; siete definitivamente la persona più importante nella mia vita. Ti amo, sempre e per sempre.

According to http://babelfish.altavista.com

I don't see the point in writing it ALL in Italian though. I'd just be kinda pissed if I got a note I couldn't read. My advice would just be to use the last line only.
