what is the best e-mail program for a mac computer? (link)
| |
The included one (Mail.app) is my program of choice -- but only under Tiger (10.4), as it was a big leap forward. Eudora is a little clunkier but much more stable under 10.3 and earlier if you get lots of mail. Thunderbird is a bit more modern than Eudora but I find it slow and a little un-Mac-like.

I'm 16 and I've never been in love. I'd just like to know if anyone else out there has ever been in my position, because I really feel alone. All of my friends throw around the word "love" after having a 2 hour bf/gf relationship. But, I'm scared when I'm older that I won't ever have that one person to wake up and want to be with everyday! It like scares me. Had anyone else been in my position? (link)
|
At 16, I'd never really been in love. It took me seven more years to pull together a good attempt and eight to run across my present beloved, but it was worth it. It took a couple of months from first meeting for me to be sure enough of love to tell her, and even then it was important enough that it was terrifying. One thing I've learned since then, is that the word "love", being out at the end of a spectrum, will probably need to be redefined — ratcheted up — even if you're careful about it, after a while with the right person.
The prospect of a life alone is a little scary, but not so bad. It's usually when you're OK with that that you get surprised by someone really worthy of spending the rest of your life with.

I'm a guy so I can't answer with anything Scarleteen can't do better on the "how does it feel" and "is it safe" fronts:
More importantly (and I'm with Scarleteen's general mood on this one), be really careful, don't do stuff just to please your boy, get educated and take stuff slowly if you're going to take it. All the physical stuff is much better in its own time. If you're uncomfortable, it won't be nearly as much fun, and it'll be kind of missing the point.

im trying to keep on improving my grades and i keep saying i will but i dont get enough sleep and i keep on procrastinating and i keep on getting disorganized as im getting organized what's the best time to sleep and what is the ideal schedule for a student? I tried to make my own but they just don't work. (link)
| |
The crux of the issue is to get up when you should (and try to make that roughly the same time each day), and go to sleep when you're tired. If you get up when you should for a week or two, you'll find yourself sleepy at the right time for you. Then pack the studying, assignments and rest of life into whatever time you have left.

My first love broke up with me. He wants to see other people. He said we can still be friends and that he loves me with all his heart. He says his life is just too complicated. How do I go on when I have to see him everyday? Help me please.
(link)
| |
Just because he's OK with seeing you all the time doesn't mean you have to be... if you need some space, let him know and then busy yourself with other things and people. If you want to try being friendly, then go ahead but realize that if it's not working, you can drop him like a hot potato. If friendly works, then great. It's not always possible to go from broken-up to friends right away... do what you're comfortable with and don't feel obliged to act any particular way.

My school is doing Aresnic and Old Lace, and I am playing Elaine. We will be doing some "stage-kissing" and I don't know what they mean by that. Could someone explain this technique? (link)
| |
The classic stage kiss that I learned involves the pair turning so the guy faces the back wall and him "dipping" her a little (he has his hand on her waist and she bends back a little)... then both faces are invisible to the audience and he just has to put his face in the general area of the girl's to give the impression of a kiss. Depending on how long you hold the pose and what you do with body language, you can cook up anything from a chaste peck to passionate snogging without sharing any saliva or cold germs :)

ok well for my theater arts class i have to find a song thats like a story, cause i need to act the song out! so it has to be like a story turned into a song!! any ideas!! PLEASE i can't think of any (link)

Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen, has immense comedic potential. What you're looking for, if you want to search on it, is a ballad — a musical form that tells a story.
On my "recently played" list: Big Yellow Taxi, by Joni Mitchell; Shirley, by L7; Susan's House, by eels; The Partisan, by Leonard Cohen... not your standard ballads, but all interesting. There is of course Sk8er Boi by a certain gal from Napanee, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention her name :P

I might fail one of my classes because my teacher doesn't explain the work or go over it. The class i'm in is so behind on work what can i do. (link)
|
get together with a friend or two from the class, the textbook, and maybe with a library nearby, and cooperate to figure out what's going on. Repeat weekly or twice weekly until you finish the course.
This tactic will serve you well for years if you can make it work.

I heard that atkins is better for men than women, is this true? (link)

Organ damage and ketosis is bad for everybody, so no, it is not true. Atkins died obese, missing his destined heart attack by slipping on an icy surface first.

Thanks for answering my question about menu difficulties. I have a bigger and better question for you that I have searched far and wide for the answer to. Using CSS I want to cover a background image with a transparent .gif. All the tutorials out on the world wide web only show how to do this if the images is inside a box or table. Can I implement it to do a background image? If so, how can I get it to work cross-browsers? I've trying making a div id called cover and implementing it after the body tag, but it only works in FireFox, but not IE6.0.
Thanks for any help you could give me.
Draak ;) (link)

I think IE6 doesn't do transparency in background images, rather painting transparent pixels in their alternate colour. You can kludge a bit by making the transparent portions small and matching your transparent indexed colour to the back-background, but IE6 is a tad broken that way.
I suppose you could also use z-index and absolute positioning to place a box containing your .gif behind a box containing the foreground to your div, but that could get hairy if you're wanting to repeat the transparent-background thing.
IE6 sucks, and that's the bottom line... but one of those techniques might mask the suckage a bit...

I have homemade java-script buttons and I have the same ones, in the exact order on all my pages. Is there a way for me to code the HTML where I don't have to write out the whole, complete href reference and imgs tags on every single page? That way if I have to make a change I can do it in an external file and just upload it and POOF! new button or old button deleted. I guess what I am saying is, can you put an external HTML into an existing HTML? I don't want to end up using frames.
Thanks for any help you can give me. (link)
|
You could write a button-making function in Javascript, something like this:
const BASEURL = "http://foo.com/~joeblow/";
function makeButton(image, path){
write("

Can you give me a couple suggestions of things to sign in my classmates' yearbooks that doesn't suck? (link)
| |
Yearbooks can suck on their own... but assuming they don't, your best bet is to find a pic with you and them in it and put a little "remember when..." note nearby, or just find a pic of you and put a little note about something you both did that you want them to remember. Yearbooks are for memories, after all.

Well im dealing with this guy right now.. n i really like him a lot..n we have like a history and everything, but im on lockdown n i cant see him that much. To tell you the truth i find myself getting kind of bored.. but i know that when i get to spend more time with him.. i might have a chnage of heart... what do i do? (link)
| |
I'm not sure I understand what this lockdown is... but if you really like him a lot and see things getting better as you spend more time with him... well, waiting out your lockdown sounds good to me.

I have a question regarding my ex-boyfriend...we broke up in December of 2001 abruptly after a horrendous visit to meet his parents (it was all just bad timing) he broke up with me because he felt our disagreements during our visit made a bad impression, thus he broke up with me on the plane...it was all very quick. We had only a very passionate 7 months together mind you. Yet, we had this awkward year and half afterward of not being together yet still feeling so much and having a sexual relationship. I really stopped being close with him around April of 2003. I graduated that year and have since moved. He has been emailing me every so often wanting to know what is up with me and how my life is. He is the type to always have a motive in doing something...why is he bothering?! Yet, most of me is over him..I am curious..and still heart broken. Should I avoid anything really personal when emailing..I dont want him to hurt me again, yet sometimes I wonder about the possibility...I am 24 female he is 23.
Thanks (link)

I think you shouldn't ignore the possibility that this is an overture... nor should you ignore the possibility that this is him being an honourable and decent human being not wanting to drop you like a hot potato... I know from experience and have read people commenting on a rising trend of trying to stay friends after breakups. Some people think it's sweet, others think it's suckerhood for punishment. You'll want to sort out what you think it is, and what you'd be ready to precipitate.
I'd be open and communicative, it'll set a tone so you have some more information to go on, and through communication you'll have a better idea of how you feel.

I want to loose some weight. Do any of you people have like a cure... well not a cure, like a thought of how I can maybe loose a few pounds?
PLEASE ANSWER A.S.A.P!!!!!!!

Swear off escalators, elevators and the like, get off the bus a stop or two early... and drink lots of water... little things burn lots of energy over time and a little more fullness keeps hunger at bay.

I just hooked up with this reeallly amazing guy and now On Friday we are going skating, well we arnt gonna skate just to see acouple of my friends and I invited him along.. I duno if it would be concidered a date seeing as though we will be together.. but im so nervous...

| |
Seems more like an outing... a chance to get to know each other in a social setting, as opposed to a date, which would be just the two of you... but sounds like fun in any case!

my boyfriend wont kiss me because he doesnt know how to kiss. im not a very good kisser either. im afraid to make the first move becuause i think he will pull away b4 i get to his lips and i will look like an idiot. how can i get him to kiss me? should i send him a site about how to kiss on email or what? i really wanna kiss him. (link)
|
If both of you are new at it, let him know it may take a few thousand tries to get kissing just right. And that you intend to get cracking :)
Nobody comes into this world knowing how to kiss (and I think it may change depending on who you're kissing anyway), but being close enough that they are pleasantly out of focus and that your breathing and heart rates are playing a duet... well, that's more than OK even if the kiss is a little sloppy, or you bump noses, or just about anything short of someone getting their tongue or lip chomped.
|
Why are people so mean?? Are any of you like that...you know...where you think you're too good for everybody else? (tell the truth) Because I want to know what you guys think...and I just hate life sometimes. I pay them NO MIND...but it's just sad...to watch how other people squirm under their wrath...I hate it...

They exist, they don't need a reason... I guess in some proportion meanness keeps us all from getting to soft, and so it hasn't dies out yet. Pity.
More seriously, I think I'm basically not mean most of the time... but circumstances (usually a combination of tiredness, stress and someone being particularly obtuse or blindingly sutpid (i.e. not understanding something simple for the umpteenth time, or insisting on being a bigot within earshot)) can bring out my inner hellian. I think that goes for most people, just some have shorter fuses than others... and we may not always understand others' triggers (either they have odd definitions of obtuse, or we just don't know their level of concealed stress/exhaustion, or just because they're wired differerntly upstairs).
So, yeah, meanness exists because it does, but it may not be as incomprehensible to the mean person as it is to those around them.
You might try asking this question directly of OneMan... psychology is his thing, so he might have an interesting perspective...
