where would I go to my tool options on adobe photoshop 6.0?

Well, I use a Mac. It's under Window > Tools.

If you have PC, it should be under the tab that's on the left to 'Help' on the menu bar. There's a lot of options, take your time to read through them to find 'tools'.

Hope I helped. If not, go to Help on photoshop and search 'tools'. It'll tell you how to get there.

Good luck,

Well I finished school two years ago this year and since then I have gained so much weight. I used to weigh 55 kilos and now i weigh 75.. thats 20 kilos I have gained!

It is getting my soooo down! I cry myself to sleep! I don't know how to stop eating all this junk food! Everyday I wake up and say to myself that I am going to eat healthy and the first thing I eat is chocolate! It's driving me crazy!

I saw my ex boyfriend the other day and he spoke to my cousin after that and laughed and said that I have gained so much weight! That got me so upset I felt like crying! again!

I have a boyfriend now. We've been together for nearly two years and he says he doesn't care what I look like! But I do! He says he is happy with the way I look and that he loves me and thats all that matters! I really do appreciate what he says to me but I still want to look good for myself!

How can I resist junk food and eat healthy!? Nothing I do seems to work!

I used to be so fit and I use to look good now I just look like a fat blob! I hate it! I am getting so miserable! Nothing helps when even your family tell you that your getting fat!

What can I do to help myself before I come even more disgusting?

I don't really want to stick to a regular diet because I have tried that many many times! If someone else does have a diet that HAS worked for them please please give it to me!

I'm just tired of feeling fat!

Well, there's this site www.sparkpeople.com. It's really helpful. Try that if you want.

And whenever you feel tempted to eat junk food, tell yourself: I don't know where this has been... or something nasty that will make you head for something that you know 'where it's been'.

And dance. I find it to be the best exercise ever! Just put on some techno or trance music and shake it =).

I used to do this: I'd buy a pair of jeans that I really like, only a size or two smaller. Of course, I wouldn't be able to fit in it, so I'd try my BEST to lose weight so I can wear it.

These are just ideas. Hope I helped=).

I figured out that I'm a lesbian. and i'm so afraid to tell my mom cause I'm afraid that she will hate me. What do I do?

Aw, she won't hate you...If you want, don't tell her and let her have suspicions. That way she'll find out about it gradually and not all of a sudden like a slap on her face or something.
She's your mother. She will accept who you are because she loves you. =)
I'm telling you this though - when she finds out, it's gonna be really tough for her at first. Like, she might tell you to keep it low when you're around your family relatives or something. Don't worry, it will all go away.

Best of luck, let me know what happens, k? =)

I really like this girl in my school. she used to be a lesbian like me, but i dont know if she is anymore. What should i do to find out if she is?

Go around asking people. Like, start a conversation then slowly slowly bring up the subject.

Or, you can go like "I heard a rumor...does she really have a boyfriend??" You'll find out the answer soon after that.

I dunno, it was just an idea...

Good luck =)

Cany someone give me a summary of the 2nd half of this book? (The book Theif) A family member gave it to me and she wants to know what I think. I barely got half way without boring myself to tears. She already read it so I can't BS anything. Help?

Hey,

I found this PDF online that kinda talks about the story and discusses the major themes and all that.
It's a teacher's guide, so it's mostly bulletpointed and short.

Here's the link: http://perthfestival.com.au/files/events/OB-TeachersNotes1.pdf

Hope this helps,
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...

I usually use www.bookrags.com, but your book wasn't found...You can use that site for other times. =)

Best of luck,
Kay.

Does anyone have any ideas on the Ben Harper lyrics to "Roses from my friends"?

It sounds like a pretty sad song..but I can't seem to understand what the lyrics mean. here are the lyrics:

I could have treated you better
But you couldn't have treated me worse
But he who laughs last
is he who cries first

Sometimes I feel I know strangers
better than I know my friends
Why must a beginning
be the means to an end?

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

When the last word has been spoken
and we've beared witness to the final setting sun
All that shall remain is a token
of what we've said and done

When all we've had has been forsaken
And distant church bells no longer ring
That's the sound of a heart taken
and the story of tears from a king

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

This may be the last time I see you
Forgive me for holding you close
This may be the last time I see you
So of this moment I will make the most

This may be the last time I see you
But if you keep me in your heart
together we shall be eternal
If you believe
we shall never part

The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

'Ere you go!

=)

Today I got a great suggestion and I want to know what you think (and dont say it is obsessive or a lot of work because it isnt). After a person posts a question(s) on this site and gets the answer(s) they like they should copy and paste into a word document and then print out what was copied and pasted and read it everytime they need reassurance

Hmm...seems like a good suggestion to me.

=) I already to that. It's not obsessive or a lot of work, I agree.

I believe it's a dance song, I'm going INSANE trying to find it..it goes like this..
not exactly sure bout the first two words

ping pong, play my song, touch my body all night long..

and its a girl that sings It! anybody have ANY idea?

Man, I know the feeling...! I went on this site to find it, but I always do a bad job at it...I didn't find the exact song you're looking for.


HOWever, there are people there on the chat thingy that help you out 24/7 with finding the songs that you want using the search thing that I used to find the song.

Go to www.letssingit.com and click on 'chatroom'. I can't remember whether or not it requires registration, but go ahead and ask anyone of the people there that you're looking for a song that goes like blah blah and a girl sings it. They'll find you the song in less than 5 mins...

Best of luck, let me know if you find the song!

Hey,

I know this site (FREE!), where you register, and it gives you a personalized meal plan and everything depending on by WHEN you want to lose weight and HOW MUCH you want to lose.

It's really awesome if you're dedicated and a Big Mac doesn't distract you every day or so...I tried it and it gives you a grocery list and everything as well, along with calorie calculator and list of things to do, blah blah...But it's worked with others, not with me, 'cause that Big Mac just wouldn't stop seducing me...

Here's the site: www.sparkpeople.com

If you're having trouble creating an account and whatever, let me know. I'll help you along during the process.

I want to get this shirt for my friend...except. I have no idea if its supposed to be funny? It looks cool...what does it mean?


http://www.cafepress.com/buy/sake/-/pv_design_details/pg_1/id_12915034/opt_/fpt_fHBa__DB_________bSH_P___e/c_361/

This is what I answered at first:

"Sake" is this Japanese alcoholic drink, kinda heavier than vodka. If you've seen The Last Samurai, tom Cruise goes like "Sake!!! Sake!!"...Anyway.

It could also stand for 'suck' or something, dunno...It's confusing, heh, 'cause it's written in Japanese calligraphic style and can't really tell what "Sake" really stands for.

Maybe it's this t-shirt you wear when you're a bartender or something...

Hope I helped (I know I didn't...)

Kay.



After doing some research, here's what I got.

“Sake it to me baby! One of the best qoutes to come from the Austin Powers series staring Mike Myers. Given a condensation wash for a wet look. "Do you want some sake?" "Sake it to me baby!" ”

Does anyone know how many hours of sleep per night (on average) an adult needs? I've got too much research to do, and often feel I don't get enough sleep..while at other times, I press snooze too many times and can't get out of bed.

Hey.

Seven to 8.5 hours is the average per night for an adult.


Holy - . That's prolly the amount of sleep I get per university week!

*counselor's voice in the background screaming "TIME MANAGEMENT!"*

Anyway. Hope I helped.

Good luck with your research stuff!

I have a toothache, only when I chew on the tooth. If i press on a certain part of the tooth, it hurts. I've come to the conclusion that I have a cavity forming. Is there any way to treat it before it turns into something big? I despise the dentist.

I hate to tell you this, but ye ... go to the dentist. BUT there's some good news! (well, one actually).

There's this fluoride or fluorine thing (some fluor whatever) that the dentist will put on all your teeth and it will protect them from decaying or getting cavities, etc. for a long long time!! It's like a paste thing, you wash it out later, blah blah blah. Ima get that done once I get rid of the ton of metal that's in my mouth (braces).

Hope this helped, and good luck!

Ok, I saw a video of a song on Fuse of IMF and I really liked the song, but i don't know what it's called. I know that the a part of the chorus was "You Can" and he would drag it out. Also in the video, there was a nerdy kid like flying over roofs or something and changed into a cooler kid.

Does anyone know the name of the song/band, anything?

thanks.

...I went to this site where you post the lyrics of the song you wanna find out the title for, and it gives you a bunch of results till you get the one you want.

However, "you can" was too short to conduct a search...If you remember a buncha other lyrics from the song (they don't have to be in order, can be random, i.e. bird fly you him love), go to www.letssingit.com in the search-box, type in the words, then select 'lyrics' from the box next to it and hit 'search'.

I hope you'll find what you're looking for.
Kay.

on 6:54 to end, does anyone know how to make words go right on a certain spot going up while an image is on the side like that on Windows Movie Maker?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB2s0I_Qpq0&mode=related&search=

Try zooming in the maximum and drag the text thingy to where the time is. This might sound ultra confusing and wtf-ish, but try it. You'll see what I'm talking about..

Hope this helps,
Kay.
