I just bought a new laptop. And I was just wondering about connecting to the internet.
At my house we have cable and a router so it's no problem there but the house I work at has cable but no router I was wondering if there was a way to use their connection without changing their wires around. If anyone could tell me that or anything else helpful since I know nothing that would be great. (link)

If the second house, the one WITHOUT a router, has a PC already hooked up to that connection, you may be in trouble. In order to use the internet at that house, with your laptop, WITHOUT buying a router, you'd have to unhook the ethernet cable from that PC and plug it into your Laptop. I'd ask before you just went ahead and did this. Please be aware that surfing the Internet on a Windows-based PC without a firewall of some kind, be it Hardware or Software, is just begging for a Virus and Spyware.
The second option is, as you've probably heard by now, to buy a cheap Router and see if they mind hooking it up temporarily while you're there. It's a bit of trouble to do that though, with all the Cables and whatnot.
There IS a third option, but I don't recommend it at all. It's called ICS (Internet Connection Sharing), and it's a pain in the butt to set up on any Non-2K/XP Computer. See Microsoft's Website for more information, but I really advise against this one...
Hope this helps!

I don't know if this qualifies as 'Tell him the truth', but...
Why do you want to break up with him? Think about that, and be honest with yourself. You have an obligation to YOURSELF to be happy as long as you're being honest about it. If that means you need to be apart from him, there's no crime there. Do you just not feel the same way about him? Is there a guy that you'd like to try and see casually? Ask yourself these questions, and yes. Be honest. If you and your friend really DO go back, he should understand. He may not like it, and you two may have to stay away from one another for a bit, but the friendship should be strong enough to handle it.
Good luck,

Other than ejaculation, is there any way to end or reduce the pain assoicated with Blueballs?
The pain of sexual tension is so much like the aftershock of being racked - so I'd be willing to entertain remedies for that pain as well. (link)

I'm not sure about what to tell you about the UST, Kris. (Unresolved Sexual Tension). Ejaculation always seemed like a suitable alternative to that pain for me. ;)
What I can tell you about getting racked is this: MOVE AROUND. Get the blood pumping again. It may hurt a bit at first, but when I was younger and got racked, I would always go outside and try to lift up my Mother's car by the bumper. Sure, there was no way in heck I was going to get it off the ground, but that physical act, and the blood-flow through my body that it promoted helped take the edge off almost immediately. Don't overdo it though, or you'll strain your back.
Hope that helps,

Ok, I recently picked up a couple subwoofers for my car (2 350W 10" Zebras powered by an 800W amp) and now I was looking at my gravy on my plate.. And it seems to be bouncing.. It never did this kind of thing before I got the subs, and I was wondering if they might be the cause? (link)

Too much of any one thing in life will cause harm to some part of you eventually. ;) Bear in mind that, if your bass is up loud enough, it's shaking your body, and causing your head to move around, thus shifting your field of vision. This may promote a temporary case of something called Nystagnis. When the eye tries to focus on something, if it's having trouble, it will twitch slightly, and try for a better 'angle', so to speak.
I agree with the previous answer in full, however. If the problem persists, tell your parents immediately and schedule an appointment with an Opthalmologist. (Most people go to see Optometrists, but if there's a possibility that something is wrong with your eyes, you should see a specialist, said Opthalmologist.) Hope this helps!

Ok, so like everytime I try to take a livejournal Icon from some random place it always ends up being saved as bmp. But I can't put bmp files onto my livejournal. How do I change that stupid little bmp to gif or anything else! Please help! Im 14 f thanks..you have NO idea how much it would be a huge thanks. -Adrianna (link)

Adrianna,
It's a simple thing, actually. Microsoft Windows comes with a program called PAINT that will let you save .BMP files to .JPG or various other formats. You might remember that Livejournal requires a 100x000 pixel format for its pictures. Any larger, and it won't accept them.
Hope that helps!
