Sometimes I don't know who I am anymore. For the most part ive become a really sophisticated, goody good with really STRONG morals. I always do homework and go to church. I never -- cheat, steal, drink, cuss, smoke, do drugs, ditch school, party, sneak out, have sex, listen to rap, etc. But sometimes i get sick of being like that. Sometimes i just want to bust out my old dirty, rap collection and live life a little. But then later the goody/serious side of me DESPISES rap because its so degrading and disgusting. The thing is.. it's not about rap music. (That was just an example of how im like two different people within hours or days.) I really dont think i have a split personality or anything to that extreme. I just dont know who I am anymore. One part of me wants to stay moral, and the other part of me wants to break free and live. How do I find out who i truely am when both of these WAY DIFFERENT personalities keep showing? (link)

I can't use the web based IRC applet for some reason.
When I hit "log in", I get redirected to this page:
http://urlseek40.vmn.net/search.php?lg=en&type=dns&tbn=oovoo2_0dn&q=http://cgiirc.sorcery.net/irc.cgi
Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi there,
Thanks for letting me know the chat provider has gone bye-bye.
Until I can find a replacement, I will close the chat area.
As for the URL you are ending up at, you should have simply hit a dead end. urlseek40.vmn.net is a sign that your computer is infected with some nasty malware that is re-directing you.
Please consider running malwarebytes, and Super Anti-Spyware, both free, on your system.
Thanks for all your recent suggestions.

my 1994 GMC truck has a IP BRAKE light on so is that different than the !P BRAKE? it stops the same and makes no noises. thank you! (link)
|
Hi there,
Same light function. If you don't have a dedicated ABS (anti-lock brakes) light, then it may indicate a problem there.
It may also be that your spring for releasing the parking brake lever back to the off position is worn out. When this happens, the spring pulls the lever back up, but not far enough to press the switch that lets the light know that the brake is off.
Probably best to have it checked out all the same. Being able to stop is a lot more important than being able to go. :-)

can anyone tell me how much a rear fender for a 2010 dyna wide glide harley davidson motorcycle is? please and thanks! need an answer asap (link)
|
There are way too many variables to just give you a price. I wish it were an easy answer, but there are about 30 variables that would change the pricing of a rear fender for any year or model Harley Davidson motorcycle.
As a rough outline of a price: $300 if you don't need to replace a fender bib, fender supports, any trim pieces, lighting or accessories. Oh, and if it is a plain, bone-stock color with no custom paintwork.
The best bet is to call your local dealer and have them match the exact pieces you need. Here is a link to the harley dealer locator:
http://www.harley-davidson.com/DE/LOC/en/DealerLocator.asp?LL=en-US&AD4=USA&locale=en_US&bmLocale=en_US
... Give hem a call in the morning tomorrow and they will know exactly what you need. When you call, ask to talk with parts and service. Anyone else would just be wasting your time.
Let me know in feedback what the cost turns out to be if you don't mind.
Hope it is a cheap one! :-)

I have a tomtom ONE XL gps, and there are several destinations that I go to frequently that are not on my gps. How can I download, or add them? I also have an apple so please dont give me programs that only work on windows. (link)
|
Hi there,
There is a tom-tom management tool for the Macintosh. You can download it here:
http://www.tomtom.com/services/service.php?id=16&tab=87
... This one application pretty much does everything with your tom-tom. You should be able to add whatever destinations you wish.
Have fun.
PS don't trust our friend Tom on country roads late at night he told me to go straight ahead for 2 miles... 2 miles after the road ended that is.

My 99 Dodge Ram 2500 3/4 Ton 6 cylinder Turbo Diesel truck will not start even after I changed the batteries, checked the fuses, inspected and tightened the cables. The engine does not seem to be locked up as the exhaust fan moves. When I turn the key I'm simply getting a small nearly inaudible clicking noise but no engine movement. Could the starter, solenoid, alternator, or something else be to blame? (link)
|
Hi there,
You kind of lost me with this exhaust fan you're talking about. I had a 1999 Dodge ram pickup 3500 with the diesel engine and I don't recall any fans that would indicate the engine wasn't frozen.
What I can tell you is that you have the starter relay and the starter solenoid to suspect first of all. It is also possible that the computer could be telling the engine not to start for some reason, but I doubt you would be getting any click if that were the case.
You should be able to manually bypass the starter relay and jump the starter solenoid directly from the battery to see if it is defective. If you are in any way uncomfortable with this I strongly suggest having it done by somebody who is more familiar with this vehicle or vehicles in general.
Please be careful when messing with the electrical system of this vehicle. You flatly would not believe what a computer costs for a 1999 Dodge ram truck. :-(

My daughter is only, 12 days old. Premium Formula makes her eyes real goppy she can't even open them we are taking a warm wash rag over and over again wipeing her eyes several times about every 5 minutes. I switcher her to Soy milk and she got really bad diarea but her goppy eyes stopped and I was afrid she was going to get dehydrated so i m oved her back and called the doctor and still waiting to hear back from her has anyone expierenced this or no someone that has? (link)

Hi there,
My aunt once attempted to use formula with similar results. It is important to remember that babies can have allergies also. The one thing you know the little gal isn't allergic to is your breast milk, so there is a good starting place. :-)
This forum is a fountain of information for new moms and their babies:

... whatever you do in the rest of her life, probably won't make as big a difference in her health as breast feeding her now.

I keep getting e-mails from people about this MyWorld Plus business opportunity thing.
The links don't look like they go to the site, but when you click them that is where you end up: "www.myworldplus.com"
I could not find ANY way to tell these people to stop mailing me and there is no way to contact the company!
It all sounds real enough, but with no way to contact them and all this spam I am getting about them it starts to sound bad.
Any advice?
Thank you! (link)

I have seen an awful lot of sites like this come and go over the years. It usually ends badly for anyone who puts money in any kind of scheme like this since the whole thing is designed to benefit those people who started the program.
Here is a link to opt out of the mailings that they themselves do:
http://www.myworldplus.com/away
... and here is a link to their complaint form:
http://www.myworldplus.com/complaintForm
Please remember, like Laura said, and I cannot agree more, if it seems to good to be true there is almost certainly something wrong.
Take care.

I was on YouTube and came across this song. Someone in the blog said it was from Sim City, but I haven't been able to find out where in Sim City, there seem to be many songs from Sim City and many versions of Sim City.
Also, is it the original version from the game or is it a remake?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFIBsug9gEI&feature=player_embedded (link)

Hi there,
After much research, which would NOT have been possible without K3587's answer, the tune from the ORIGINAL Sims game (I listened to everything from the Sims 2 and Sims 3 soundtracks and most of the first one before figuring that out) is called: "Build mode Track 3" in the only place I could find it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S94jrCSrBVk&feature=related
... Which is really odd. There is a Sims soundtrack available on Rhapsody, but they didn't see fit to include it on the soundtrack:
http://www.rhapsody.com/album/the-sims-video-game-soundtrack
... which is when it dawned on me that it might ONLY be included in "Sims Deluxe."
Problem is that I was unable to find a place that has the soundtrack list from that version. :-(
If you do get a title and artist out of your continued search, please update your feedback and let me know what the proper name and artist are, would you?
Happy hunting!

Hey I got a hp pavilion laptop dv6 and recently the charger isnt connected to my computer properly. its connected to a power supply but it doesnt show on my laptop. the light that usually shines white when connected isnt on. no colour is shown. yet sometimes when i turn off my laptop and connect the charger it works. but thats sometimes. also i recently upgraded my os to windows 7 64bit and yes i upgraded all the bios. also theres no wear on tear on the charger. so right now im stumpt. anyone have any idea why? (link)
|
Hi there,
The charge light has nothing to do with your operating system, so you don't have to worry about that.
Now, in most cases I have dealt with (25 years experience) there will be a flaw in the jack on the motherboard of the laptop, or the plug which plugs into said jack.
The key is to find out which it is. This comes down to reputation and simplicity. Because it is an HP DV6 (DV6000?) the odds are split 50/50.
The easiest thing to test would be the power supply. Borrow one from a friend with a compatible laptop if you can, or take it to a shop and ask them if they can quickly check that out to help you diagnose the power supply problem on your laptop.
If you plug in another (compatible) power supply, and it does the same thing, then it is time to look at the power jack inside the laptop.
Taking laptops apart isn't for the faint of heart, so let me suggest that you take it to a trusted repair shop and have them look into it.
All of this assumes it is out of warranty. If it is in warranty, call the warranty provider and have them look at it.
There is a small possibility that this is a problem on the motherboard further in than the power jack assembly. It does happen, but on your machine is less likely than some others.
If the motherboard needs to be replaced... you should seriously weigh the idea of trading up to a newer laptop. Prices are as low as they have ever been with the big CPU shakeup that is happening now.
Take care, and I hope it is the simplest least expensive part. :-)

Hi i have been with my boyfriend for 7 years. We have a beautiful 1 year old son, have a home, and i love him to peices. We had an big argument and now becuase of over the course of our long relationship he feels liek the same things keep coming up and now he feels liek he cant put up with it anymore. he says it over. he loves me but he cant do it anymore. so im going to have to move out but im trying to figure out how to save this!?! i really really really want this relationship to work. i love him and want us to move forward and do all the great things we have set for our family. what can i do to try to get him to see that i am willing tomake the changes so that we can be great?! (link)
|
Hi there,
It sounds like you two have been butting heads over these issues for a very long time. The one thing to learn from that is that it is pretty obvious that the two of you aren't equipped to fix it by yourselves, right?
How about getting some help? A marriage counselor would be a good place to start. I know, you may not be married, but 7 years is far too long to think you don't have the problems married people have. In many states you would be considered his common-law wife after this long.
Now, in all honesty, what have you done before this to fix the problems that he is at the point of leaving over? If you know what needs to change and you haven't changed it, it is time to ask yourself why.
Another thing to consider is this: Relationship problems are very, very rarely one-sided. Because of this, it can be really hard for the two people involved to resolve things without the help and guidance of someone who isn't involved in the relationship. Someone who can see it clearly without all the hurt feelings and resentment getting in the way.
A relationship coach really is where I would go from here if it were me. Whatever you do... do NOT get your friends involved in this. Trust me.
Take care, and I hope, for the sake of your child as well as yourselves, that you will do what it takes to give the baby a safe and happy home.

So on Friday night I sent out invitations for my going away party this night at Applebees. On facebook, cause its easier to contact people that way. And now its Sunday, and out of the 28 people I invited, 4 have accepted, 9 have said "maybe", 2 have declined (I didn't like them too much anyways), and the remaining 13 people haven't replied yet! So basically.. 4 people are certain. I almost feel like crying.
My family is moving on Thursday half-way across the country, so I can't have it next week. And I've lived here since I was 6 years old so its not like people didn't know me or anything. I invited all the people that I was friends with.. even people I havent talked to in a while but still want to remember of living in this area. People that like the last time I talked to them I was on good terms with.. I think. And I know people go on Facebook.. especially on the weekend.. it was pretty last minute because I wasn't sure I would be able to have a going away party or not so I had to be sure.
What do I do???????? And tonight my mom will be getting her hair done so I don't know how I'll get a ride there.. I still have to figure that out. I just don't want to go and like nobody comes, or only a few come and they think I'm a loser and then maybe we won't have a good time.. and that's how they'll remember me and everything. :( This is why I rarely ever have parties.. its too stressful and I don't want to make myself embarassed or anything. Thats why its at applebees too. its cheaper, but also because theres not as much expectation.
Like at my house, unlike a lot of other people's ive been to, theres like nothing to do! like watch tv or go on the computer is pretty much it.. i mean some people are good at still entertaining guests regardless. but i dont know whether i just dont have close friends like that to just enjoy being together and talking or i have too high expectations on what to do and stuff.. like I'd spend a lot of time worrying whether they are bored and what not.. Ughhhh. Hopefully it wont be like that at all at my new place, new town, new people, new everything.
So yeah, tonight, any advice? And I dont know whether I should call the restaurant ahead, because what if like a lot more people accept (im not sure of that right now) and then it will take a long time to get us a table since they'd have to put tables together for a lot of people to sit? I dont want to call in early if I overestimate.. cause I really don't know where it will stand by then.
I really dont wanna embarass myself! Like what if the worst happens.. nobody comes or only like 1-2 people... I'm really anxious and keep checking facebook to see if anyone else has responded. Ughhhhh. :( I'm 16 btw. (link)

Ok, I don't usually answer things of a social nature, but this is a really good example of something that can help you through the rest of your life, as it has me in mine:
What is easy for you isn't always the best thing to do... in fact whatever is easy is almost always the wrong thing to do in my experience.
Facebook. MySpace, etc... are really bad ways to contact people. The messaging system is unreliable to begin with, and most people are being spammed to death so they don't even check it unless they are EXPECTING something urgent.
Oldschool is the best school when it comes to getting parties underway. Here is how to do damage control on this:
Number one: You should have sent out paper invitations. People will attend almost anything if they have one of these in their hand. Too late for that now, but if you ever do this again... don't forget: "Paper is serious, and Facebook is hilarious." ;-)
Oh, right damage control:
Get on the phone. Call the entire list and let them know that you are really COUNTING on them being there.
Get ahold of the 4 who confirmed they would be there, and have them promote the party. If you ask them nicely, they will get on the phone and call around too, which will get the buzz going a bit more.
As far as not going: Go. If only 2 people show up, you guys will have this experience to remember for life. I wish people could get away from "myspace thinking" for a minute and understand that friends really aren't about quantity... just quality.
A real friend would jump in front of a bullet for you. How many of those do you have? If you are really, really, really lucky you will have two. In your whole life. :-)
The one thing I can promise you is that if you take no action and just sit there refreshing facebook, you will feel really stupid about this when you look back on it and realize that it was your fault for not putting forth the effort to make the party a success. Dont' let that be you!
Now, how about you stop reading this and get on the phone? It is already late, and it will be too late for some people to come, and others will need a reminder.
Let me know (in feedback) how the get-together goes.
Have a good time no matter who shows up... and definitely go.
P.S. Next time... just promise me you won't be planning parties through facebook, ok? ;-)

what is the code when you are installing the sims 3? I realy need help on this because i need it for my game. Ive looked everywhere for it and I cant find it.Please help! (link)

Hi there,
The code goes with the copy you bought. If you lost it then you will have to contact the company and purchase another code.
If anyone else gives you their code then they will be breaking the law. Their game will also stop working. So who is going to do that? ;-)
I hope you find your sims 3 activation code soon!

You know the one time I never question going to the doctor is when blood appears in a place or way that is unexpected.
I know you don't want to go to a doctor, but what if you HAVE to go? Consider this, please: What if you don't take care of this, and then you are never able to have children later in life.
What if it is to do with a cancer down there? What if you got it lokoed at now and it was no big deal to fix? What if you waited and it cost you your life?
Please, I know you don't WANT to go the doctor. I don't know anyone who really enjoys that... but sometimes you simply HAVE to get yourself checked out. This is one of those times.
It could be nothing at all... but if it is something then it could ruin the rest of your life or even end your life.
Please don't take chances with your future.

Okay i am freaking out! My laptop is practicallly new, its about 1 year old(little less), and this is the first time i have ever had a problem with it~
Okay so about 10 minutes a go I was playing the sims 3 like i do every day and my computer just crashed i guess. It turned off No warning nothing! It was plugged in and everything.
So then I tried to turn it back on and it crashed again within 5 seconds. I did this 2 more times, same thing. So i left it for about 10 minutes and tried again, now it is on. What do i do . I can't afford a new laptop is this a common problem. (link)

I have seen MANY graphics intensive programs cause laptops to overheat and fail.
Are you using a good laptop cooling pad? If not, that would be a great addition. Better for you and better for the computer. :-)
You do need to be certain that the main cooling fan hasn't failed before you go any farther... so if you are unable to figure that part out for certain, then do have a computer nerd have a look on your behalf.
It isn't certain to be an overheating issue, but if it only does this while you are playing high end games, then you are in the 90% range for overheating.
Just as a random note: Laptops should COME with an extra cooling platform. Did you know that you can be injured by some laptops overheating? Did you know that you can functionally double the working lifespan of an overheating laptop with one of these? Better still they aren't expensive and even walmart carries them.

I wasn't sure how else to do this. If this wasn't the correct way, then I am sorry.
I have had an abuse report open since July. On the abuse report page it says it needs to be reviewed by a level 3 moderator.
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=567554
That was the question I reported the abuse on. Two columnists called me an idiot, and it deeply offends me. I believe WittyUsername is a wonderful advice columnist, but I am upset that he felt the need to comment negatively on my advice. Under the "Reasons we ban people" it clearly states that verbally absuing another columnist is against the rules.
I know this was a while ago, and I don't want to beat a dead horse, however I love giving advice, and I love having this column. I don't want to be called names that could negatively influence the advice I give, just because mine is different from someone else's.
Thanks. (link)

Wow... that is really a really poor showing on the behalf of other users here.
I would like to point out that the people who were the ones to call you names were the self admitted pot-heads. Guess it doesn't make you mellow like they would have you believe. ;-)
I will be taking care of this today.
Warnings will be issued.

My relationship with my ex was incredibly stressful and destructive. We argued constantly and even though we loved and cared about each other, we couldn't make it work. We were together for about a year but split up at least twice during that period. Eventually, I ended the relationship. He claimed to be heartbroken and kept calling and texting me with angry and hurtful messages.
About a week later, it turned out he was seeing a girl I'd always been suspicious of. He is now having a relationship with her. Although he admitted he was still in love with me, he said he had moved on and refused to discuss it with me. Now he won't talk to me at all.
I know I broke up with him and he has every right to do what he wants but I can't help being hurt and upset. It feels like a betrayal. Although it could just be a rebound thing, it's like he's chosen the one girl he knew would hurt me the most. I can't help but think he didn't really love or care about me if he can move on that quickly. I assumed we had mutual respect for each other and after he tried so hard to guilt trip me and upset me when we split up, I'm surprised that he immediately got into a new relationship.
I want to just forget about it, but I can't stop thinking about the fact that he's with her. I've avoided going out because in case I bump into them and because the girl lives just round the corner from me, I'm scared I'll see her. My ex also goes to my college and is in one of my classes, so I can't avoid him. How can I forget about this? It's making me angry and upset and affecting everything in my life. (link)

You know... I went through something similar in that it was sudden, and as much as possible seemed to be done for the explicit purpose of causing me heartache.
This stages of grief thing you may have heard of? It is very real.
I can vouch for this. Perhaps I can also share with you a few things that I found along the way that helped me.
First thing to do would be to read a little bit about the stages of grief:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model
... there are MANY references to this which will help you along. Have a search on it and you will find plenty.
The thing that I must tell you to make this useful is that most people expected me to go through these stages in order and on a fairly tight schedule. That isn't how it works, sadly.
I believe that no two people are likely to grieve in the same manner, on the same timeline or in the same stages.
Having said that, and being able to look back on it now... I have to say that as a general outline, it was spot on. These things will happen to you in some order along the way to healing. If you try to fight it it will only prolong the process and hurt you further.
The sudden end of a relationship is a lot like having someone close to you die. When the death happens, it is over. Your relationship with that person is at an end.
Treating the "death" of a romantic relationship as if it was the death of a person was perhaps the most beneficial thing anyone said to help me along the path to recovery. (Thanks YG)
That is the general advice that i hope you will carry with you through life. It will apply many more times in your life, most likely, and I would like to apologize in advance for the next person out there that will let you down. :-(
Here are a couple of specifics to add regarding this particular boy.
First things first. What is Love exactly? Well, my personal best ever idea is very simple: Love is caring about someone else more than you care about yourself.
Simple, straight to the point and very easy to verify.
This boy says he is still in love with you... Ask one question and one question only:
Is what he has done in your relationship demonstrating that he cares more about you than he does himself?
Very obviously not.
Does he love you?
(Insert answer here.)
I know. It hurts to realize that they lied about loving you, doesn't it?
I was married for 10 years... to a woman who told me she loved me every single day... who walked away without a word 3 days before our 10th wedding anniversary.
After she left, her mother and I began to talk and I found out a whole bunch of things I wish I had known.
Example: She only married me to get out of the state she was living in. She intended to leave right away. This means an entire decade of my life was a complete and total waste on her.
If you applied the simple test I gave you to find out if he loved you, you found out that he never did or stopped a long time ago.
Feeling stupid for being with him?
Don't.
She conned me for a decade. I'm not an idiot... and neither are you, so how the heck did this happen to us?
Simple enough really. We have a tendency to let how we feel color the facts of life.
Example: We might rabid fans of a sports team and think they are the best ever... and when they lose it is a conspiracy! Because they are the team we have chosen to love.
We overlook their idiocy and continue to cheer for them. When they don't even seem to try... we still cheer. Why?
Because we love them.
Same thing goes for what happened with you and I. I will bet that you can look back and see MANY instances where he let you down and you overlooked it because you loved him. I can see thousands of such incidents in my situation.
So, were you stupid to love this boy?
Nope. You were lied to. Plain and simple. So was I.
You didn't know how to find out if someone really loves you or not, and neither did I.
If you learn from this now, then you will not have to spend a full decade of your life learning it later... like I did.
So... now you know you were lied to. It is over. He used you. If you let him back in, he will use you again.
Let it be over.
I want to assure you again that it will get better, and the pain does fade. I promise.
So how do you speed your recovery?
I can tell you the mistakes I made and how not to make them:
I withdrew from my previous life. I stopped doing the things I used to do and enjoy. Basically I stopped living for fear that something would hurt.
When I did this, I gave her power over me. She was GONE and I was still letting her run my life!
Don't let him run your life. Get right back into to doing the things you used to. Things YOU enjoy. It helps.
I stopped going places that would remind me of her.
Don't do this! I didn't recover until I stopped this bit of silliness.
It is very much like the old saying about getting right back on a horse from whom you were forcibly ejected.
If you live in fear of the horse, then the horse owns a piece of you.
By avoiding the scene of the crime so to speak we are letting these rotten people OWN a piece of us.
I started listing things that I found I was doing because of her, and I eliminated them one at a time.
It took time, but it is over and I am much improved. The decade that was a waste... turned into quite the learning experience.
Because I went through that, now I am able to help you through this.
I will stop here, because this is a subject that I have considered writing more than one book about... and I could probably keep you reading here for a week.
Instead, how about we do it like this: If there is anything I can do to help you recover from being used and lied to by this miscreant... please don't hesitate one second to write.
It gets better. Hang in there, and take the help of people who offer. (Ahem.)

I would like to get a job researching alternative energy methods. What degree is necessary for this, or should I get in order to be qualified for this job? I'm a senior in hs now and I haven't decided where I want to go to college yet so my options are still open. (link)

Hi there,
All I can say is: Wow are you pointed in the right direction!
That is one place that the future is wide open and a truly gifted person can make a difference in their own lifetime.
The problem is this: What do you want to do in the alternative energy field?
You want to install wind turbines and solar panels? You may be able to find a trade school that will give you everything you need.
You want to DESIGN wind turbines? Degrees in mechanical and electrical engineering would be really helpful.
You see there are so many ways to go with this.
Would you like to know THE best way to figure this out? Start calling companies that do the kind of work that your want to do, and ask them what they are seeking now and what they forsee needing in the near future.
Find and talk to people that do what you want to. If you want to be an electrical engineer (which is a degree that can serve you in MANY different career paths) then start looking up electrical engineers and asking if you can talk to them about your future plans.
You are going to be shocked how many of these degreed people will be more than happy to sit down with you and help you figure things out.
Buy a voice recorder and ask each if they mind if you use it. Also take notes of just about everything they have to say.
When you are sitting with a college admissions staffperson you will have all the right question written down in your notes.
Good luck, and thanks for having a little foresight.
