I'm 27 years old and I've seen enough of life to be able to pass a little wisdom on (what little I have!) Ask a question, and the Sock shall answer...

Ok, my friend has this Compaq Presario (laptop), and there is no print screen key. She really needs to get her screen copied to her 'clipboard' so she can put it on paint (she wants to make msn avatars using cartoon dolls) and I don't know how to help her because I'm not using a laptop!!! Is there some control+? combination or something? This is urgent...thanks!
NOTE: I've tried google and other help sites but can find nothing... (link)
I think you can also do print screen by pressing F11 or F12... if she has a user's manual, look in that, otherwise you may be able to find a copy of that online.


okay, so there is this guy that won't leave me alone. i mean i wanna be friends with him, but he wants to be my girlfriend. I am really starting to hate him. i was talking to him in aim and he kept saying things like "i love you," or "okay, see ya girlfriend". i kept telling him to stop, but he WON'T! arrggggggggggggggg!
please help me b4 i kill him! (link)
He's going to keep it up until you stop reacting that way. Either make a joke of it yourself, or ignore it. Talk to him about how much you like some other guy. Tell him he's just like "one of the girls." He'll love that :D


Im a female and 15. Well theres a guy ive liked for a few years that i went out with before. We're really good friends and i know hes someone who i can count on. Well i kind of fooled around with him before but it didnt really change anything, still good friends, and not going out. Well my friends think im going to have sex with him and i kno that he wants to.. He told his best friend whos also my friend before he wouldnt go do anything with someone he didnt care about or have feelings for. i dont know if i should avoid doing that though or not. And rght now im not a virgin anyway so i dont see it as a big deal but ive only been with one guy. I really want to be with him and everything and he's told people he likes me but he doesnt want to be in a relationship rght now but im hoping i can change his mind. I dont know what i could do to get him to want to be with me again... But i would do anything. Please help with tips or advice Thanks (link)
I firmly believe that you should not have sex with someone you don't care about, or who doesn't care about you. There are a lot of consequences that can result from casual sex. Think about what life would be like if he got you pregnant at 15. It would change your life, not to mention any STDs that could get around. Be with someone who's willing to take precautions or take the consequences along with you.

I know sex can be fun, and I know it's a way of being close to someone. But it is not a way to make someone want to go out with you if they don't want to anyway. They'll take the free sex and move on and you'll end up feeling used.

Sex is a big deal. I'm not going to say you're too young to do it. I just hope you can use good judgement in who you sleep with. It's a lot more fulfilling when it's with someone you really care for.


Hi, Advicenators. Normally I make up my own mind, but I need a little help. If you're going to be sarcastic or rude, don't bother.
Gender: female
Grade: Eighth
I have a problem with my Sunday School teacher. You see, I honestly believe that I have more Biblical knowledge than her. I know that sounds conceited.. but it just seems like it! Yesterday (Easter Sunday) our "lesson" was on miracles. This is what the conversation was like:
Teacher:Who can preform miracles?
Teacher:Only Jesus can preform miracles! No one else can!
Me:*raises hand*
Teacher:yes?
Me:But Jesus isn't the only one who can preform miracles.. Paul, Elija, Elisha, the Devil, the Twelve Disciples.. they all preformed miracles..
Teacher:No, no, no. That's not what I said..
Me:You said "Only Jesus can preform miracles".
Teacher:Anyway, girls, as you see.. blah, blah, blah.
At this time, I'm feeling pretty screwed over since she just blew me off. All of that conversation is an exact quote. This was the third time that I was able to correct her (and the third time I got blown off) yesterday alone! It happens every Sunday.. she doesn't know the lesson, she doesn't know what she's talking about.. It makes me mad!
I know that I am much, much more mature Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and in my knowledge of the Bible and Christ.. (not trying to sound conceited..) but the lessons are never fufilling! I could gather more from my eight-year old sister's Sunday School lesson. Get this: I was the only girl in my class of seventh and eighth grade girls that knew what the Rapture was! Oh my gosh! How dumb?!
So, I was considering talking to my youth pastor about this. I'm naturally shy, and I don't like to put myself in that position.. but this is so annoying.. and a waste of my Sunday morning! So.. do you think I should speak to my youth pastor about this?
PS - I don't really get along with my teacher, I'm nice to her... but we don't get along. :\
PPS - Sorry it's so long! Thanks in advance.. (link)
You might want to talk to your teacher first. Don't start off saying that you know more than she does; tell her how it makes you feel when she blows you off. Let her know it's a serious issue for you. If you get blown off again, then go to the youth pastor. Be polite with your teacher, and be calm throughout the discussion so she can understand where you're coming from. Most likely she's saying what she thinks is true, so if you have actual Bible passages that disprove things she's said before she might think twice. I realize she hasn't given you much respect, but you'll be more likely to get a positive response if you act respectfully when you talk to her. Wait until after your next lesson, so that if one of you gets upset it won't affect the class and you can keep it between the two of you if at all possible.

If the youth pastor doesn't help, go further up the ladder or involve your parents. They send you to Sunday School for a reason, and it isn't to be given false information.
