I want to make slide shows with music for my friends and family to enjoy. I have tried to do this with power point to no avail. I also have a program that should allow me to do this also to no avail. (link)

Do you have Windows Movie Maker? With that you can make titles/endings for your slideshow, add transitions/effects, + add music in the background. It comes with Windows XP.

Okay know this may be weird but can anyone please tell me if there is any difference between european clothing sizes and american pants sizes because i really don't get it! I am going over seas next summer and I want to go shopping there-thanks! (link)

Most store websites have Size Charts. For example, if you go to the American Eagle website (www.americaneagleoutfitters.com), scroll to the bottom of the page and click Size Chart, and something will pop up. It has UK, French, and Italian sizes. It also has Waist/Hip in cm/in.

ok. i am so VERY shy!! and i hate it. well most of the times. i mean sometimes i dont mind being shy but other times i hate it!!! so how can i like not become shy1!?!?!?!?!like for my sport that i do EVERYONE is so loud and stuff and im like not. so i feel left out. and im not very outgoing like how do i become more of that tooo? lol i dont know if you can change that... but i was just wondering. (link)

First, take small steps, like saying "Hi" to people in the halls to become more outgoing. It's best to find a good friend who you can talk to at your sport so you can laugh, enjoy yourself and basically have a good time. Conversation starters work wonders.

Everytime I shave my crotch area, I get little red bumps. What are they and how can I stop them from happening? (link)
| |
Its a red bump of infected bacteria, caused by shaving. It should go away in couple of days/maybe weeks. There are some anti-bump shaving creams out there that you can use to prevent them from happening.

well im 13 and wanted to know what are good jobs that higher at that age if any. (link)
| |
I don't think you can get any official "job" at that age. Try babysitting, a paper route, or taking care of a neighbors' pet while they are on vacation [as a start].

Okay , so i babysit this sixth grader three days a week. & let me tell ya .. IT IS SOOOOO BORING OVER THERE! All that i ever do is watch t.v., eat, & talk on the phone. Oh yeah ... and i also get on the computer. Any ideas on what else I could do over there? He always goes over to his friends houses all the time , so its not like I can do anything with him. Grrrr , HELPPP! (link)
| |
Do some helpful, busy things to do. For example, bring some homework to do. If not, just get on some fun web sites on the computer [bored.com for ideas].

okay, i didn't know what category to put this in, but what does irony mean?, i looked up the definition on dictionary.com and i didnt understand it, so could someone, explain it to me better.. thanks (link)

www.urbandictionary.com - It's better than dictionary.com in ways because anyone can submit a definition, and anyone can approve or dissaprove of it.

There are several types of irony.
Socratic irony - When someone pretends to be naive about a certain subject, and uses his questions about it to point out a flaw in the established belief. This is often used on the TV show South Park, where the children often ask questions about a situation until the folly in a parent's decision becomes clear.
Sarcasm - Understatement, mocking overstatement, or heavy-handed irony (stating the flat opposite of the truth) where both parties are aware of the difference between what's said and what's actually happening.
Situational Irony - The irony that most people think of. A difference between what you expect to happen (in a story, for example) and what actually happens. Rain on your wedding day would be a sort-of example, because a wedding day is generally expected to be a perfect, happy day. The good advice you didn't take, however, would NOT be irony, because that has nothing to do with what is expected and what isn't expected. A traffic jam when you're already late wouldn't be irony either; there's no automatic expectation that traffic will be fine, just because you happen to be late.
Irony of Fate - The concept that the Gods, Fates, etc. are toying with humans for amusement by using irony. Beethoven's loss of hearing is a famous example; one would expect a composer to be able to hear his compositions, but fate denied him that ability.
Tragic (Dramatic) Irony - When the audience knows something that some of the characters don't know in a play/movie/novel/whatever. For example, when the horror flick psycho is in the house and the homeowner just goes in without suspecting anything.
Example: If a man won the lottery, and then died of a heart attack from the shock of winning.

I babysit my cousins who all love attention. Theres three of them and it's hard to give them all attention. What can I do to keep them busy while paying attention to all of them? (link)
|
It depends on their age.
If they are about 6-10: Try Board + Card Games.
If they're about 3-5: Try T.V.: Disney Channel + Nickelodeon.
If they're in between: A Rated G or PG Movie
Also, if that doesn't keep them entertained, you get them to help out making dinner or snacks, cleaning up the house, etc.
