I love watching the Olympics but I know they don't have it every year. I'm not sure how often they have the Olympics so I can't figure out when I can watch it again. I don't want to ask my friends because they'll think I'm stupid for not knowing probably. When is the next Olympics? How often do we have the Olympics? And where will the Olympics be this coming time? THANKS!!!!!! (link)
| |
The Winter Olympics are going on this winter (2010) but you'll have to wait until 2012 to see the Summer Olympics again. It's every four years, with a two year difference between the holding of the winter and summer games.

16f im currently on some birthcontrol pill and I get my period once a month for about 5 days. I seen commericials on seasonique and seasonale, first off what is the difference between those two? and Im interested in switching to one of them so i can get my period once every three months. I want to know if anyone had any problems using any of the two or if the spotting was a lot and for how long? Also on the comercial they say there is no need for a period every month on the pill so do you think that is true? (link)
|
Birth control pills work by manipulating hormone levels to cause a whole lot of changes in your reproductive tract to ensure that you can't get pregnant. While most birth control pills that I've heard of have inactive pills that you take at the end of your cycle, Seasonique doesn't give you any inactive pills (or periods) for three months.
The problem? If you're not good about taking your birth control responsively and you manage to get pregnant, you won't know you've missed a period until three months later. Your body would function perfectly well without getting your period every month, but then nature's early warning system would no longer be in effect.

I take 30mg of Vyvanse in the mornings before school on weekdays. It's supposed to last till 6-7 at night but it hardly lasts past 3. I know no one here's a doctor, but I'm sure there's someone who's had experience with this. If it's wearing off so fast does that mean I should go up on dosage? I wouldn't do anything without talking to the doctor first but I just want some advice before making a decision. (link)
| |
It might be time for a dosage adjustment: while some people might have it last the whole time, it's obvious that you need a higher dose for the same effect. Talk to your doctor, he'll probably either increase your dose or change you to two doses split over the course of the day.

I just feel so down because my mom's boyfriend trying to annoy me is getting to like a point where it crosses the line. I hate him he does not get it and I don't want to give him any chances when he is around I don't even talk to him a lot. The thing that bothers me the most is that it seems like he is trying to make me feel something like trying to get back at me for something. I know that he does it on purpose cause when he sees me looking at him he goes on like real quickly out of my sight. And I feel like he is that way cause he wants to say that I am being a bitch for seeming to be cold to my grandfather but my grandpa and I had problems so I was cold. But he thinks its like me being a bitch. (link)

Have you talked to your mom about this yet? I can't remember if you've asked me a question about this in the past. Regardless, the one to talk to about it is your mom. Make your opinions heard.

So, lately i've started snoring alot..and i just started college so ive been out to parties alot..im wondering if thats whats doing it..?and ive also been alittle congested..im not sure but i know that my roommate and others are probably alittle annoyed with it..any suggestions? (link)
| |
Probably just your congestion. When you're unable to breathe through your nose, you're forced to breathe through your mouth. When you breathe through your mouth, the vibrations can cause the sounds associated with snoring. Take some REAL Sudafed (pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine is nothing more than a placebo in terms of effectiveness) and see if that works. If that doesn't do it, I've always found Breathe-Right strips to be pretty helpful for a roommate's sake.

What is pre cum exactly? My boyfriend and I had sex and he said he just had pre cum. Is that bad? When does it happpen? And I think he did with the condom on, the condom didn't break so i just wanted to make sure. (link)
| |
Pre-cum is a fluid that is secreted from the Cowper's glands in the reproductive tract. Among other things its main purpose is to clear any residual urine from the urethra and balance the pH so that semen won't be damaged on the way out. It also provides lubrication.

ive been on birth control for a long time now. ive been taking it on time but 2 days ago i accidently took 2 i thought i hadnt taken it so yesterday i didnt take my pill and i had unprotected sex today i took my pill. what are the chances of me getting pregnant? (link)
|
You've got nothing to worry about if you missed one pill out of the pack. Hormone levels take a relatively long time to change in noticeable levels, so missing one pill one day isn't going to cause any trouble for you.
You're on the pill, so pregnancy is not a risk for you. There's a slight chance, but most of the fear-mongering involved with the birth control pill is due to people who incorrectly interpret the statistics.

Find a new doctor. I went through the exact same situation as you when I had my first manic episode in college. I was going days without getting more than three hours of sleep, spending money left and right and snapping at everybody that I ran into, in addition to a host of other odd behaviors that I immediately recognized as bipolar disorder (benefit of being a psych major at the time I suppose). I was familiar with the DSM-IV from my time in school, and I knew that the diagnostic criteria included episodes that went on for at least one week, but mine had severely rapid cycling with severe irritability and depression occurring within minutes/hours of each other on bad days. I started seeing a therapist who referred me to a nurse practitioner who starkly refused that I had bipolar disorder because I "wasn't as manic" as some of her other patients. She elected to put me on Seroquel, and I proceeded to gain 35 pounds in the eight months that I was on it. While I felt a little less irritable it did nothing for the bipolar that she swore I didn't have.
When I got out of school for the year I found an actual psychiatrist who could not believe the way that my NP had treated me, and that I was absolutely right that I was bipolar. I just didn't fit the golden standard diagnosis of week-long episodes. My doctor got me on mood stabilizers and my life has been better ever since.
I've been through this, so if you have any questions for me send them to my inbox.

is there a such thing as a two-way headphone set? so 2 ppl can listen to music at the same time from the same mp3 player? (link)

Sure is, you need to track down a headphone splitter cable. I haven't seen a store with an electronics department that doesn't have them

I don't get it. Do guys like having sex with virgins? If so, why? Wouldn't they want someone experienced? I don't know. Just curious. (link)
|
The blunt, honest answer? Depends on the situation.
If we're in a committed relationship with a girl that we care deeply about, then virginity is not going to bother us one bit. If the girl is set on waiting and we care at all about what she has to say, then we'll wait because the relationship means something to us.
That being said, if you're a guy who isn't looking for a long-term relationship (maybe just some fun dating or, if you're into it, hooking up) then we'd rather avoid virgins. It has nothing to do with a girl personally, it's just that it's a lot of responsibility and it isn't something that we want to get involved with if we aren't serious.

So I'm about to start college, in ten days to be exact, and I'm incredibly nervous. It isn't the social aspects that I'm nervous about though. I have no idea what to expect for actual school. What do I take notes with? Paper? Laptop? How should I organize my notes? Binders? Spirals? What should I typically take to class?
What should my study habits be like, etc etc. Should I carry a backpack?
I'm stressing myself out about stuff that people usually aren't stressing about. HELP! (link)
|
It may not seem like it at first, but when you look back on it you'll realize that college wasn't nearly as hard as you made it out to be on your first day of class.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TURN YOUR CELL PHONE ON SILENT MODE BEFORE CLASS!
As far as what to take notes with, it depends on entirely on your professor. I would show up to the first day of class with paper and a pen, and your professor will probably let the class know if he's okay with you all using laptops during class. If he doesn't explicitly say it then make sure to ask. If you can bring a laptop make sure to turn your wi-fi off when you're in class so you'll focus on your work. Your professors aren't stupid: they'll know whether or not you're paying attention to them and it could reflect in your grade if you get on their nerves.
I didn't have a laptop during my undergraduate work, so I took all of my notes on paper. I felt that I wasn't very organized though, and when I took an extra class last spring with my laptop I found that I was much more organized and that I was able to record more information because I type much faster than I can write.
One more thing about note-taking: don't feel like you have to write down every word of Powerpoint presentations. Professors usually post them online after class, so writing down the words from the powerpoint won't help you. Write down what the professor is saying: the slides normally introduce the ideas that the professor goes into in greater detail afterwards, so make sure to be taking that information down.
If you can see yourself using one, you might want to get a tape recorder. I've always had a very good auditory memory so they've never been helpful for me, but some people get a great deal of help from them. Every MP3 player that I've owned and my last two cell phones have had the capability to record for more than an hour at a time, so that may be a good use.
TURN YOUR PHONE ON SILENT DURING CLASS!
Study habits depend on the way that you learn and what your strengths and weaknesses are. I've heard people say that you should read the material that is supposed to be discussed during class before you go, but I never gained anything from it. Read when you like, but make sure that you stay relatively caught up on your reading so that you aren't scrambling before a test. I usually stayed within 1-2 classes of the reading so that I could make up the time when an exam was approaching.
You'll have a lot more work to do than you've had in the past, but you'll also have a lot more time and the freedom to do your work as you want. Just remember: you're in college to learn, and you need to budget your time effectively to make sure that you won't waste four years of your life in a drunken stupor.
TURN YOUR CELL PHONE TO SILENT BEFORE YOU GO TO CLASS!
I'm sure I didn't cover everything you wanted to know, so send a question to my inbox if you think of anything.

Hey so Im leaving for college in less than a week and im going to be a freshman! Is there any general advice/information that anyone can give to me? Is there anything that you wish you knew before going into college? Really appreciate the help guys! thanks (link)
|
Most important bit of advice that I can give is to be yourself when you get there. If you've spent the first part of your life keeping up on all of your schoolwork and not partying too much, then you'd be a fool not to stick to that routine.
I've known quite a few bright kids who went to college and figured out that it's fun to get drunk and that there is nobody taking attendance so you technically don't have to go to class. Obviously, their grades suffered and they aren't as well prepared for the real world as they'd like to be.
I've never been very good around crowds and at parties, so when I went to college I thought that I would turn it all around and start hanging out with everybody that I met, do some partying and branch out as a person and maybe finally get a girlfriend because of it. I tried that for a little while, but it didn't take long for me to realize that I was happy the way that I was, and that I was wasting my time by trying to be somebody other than myself.
I tried my best not to miss class and I did all of my work, and in the end I did pretty well in school, and I made a lot of new friends when I started working for the school paper, which is also where I met my girlfriend who I'm still with today. Got all of that done by being myself, so that's something I guess.
But that's just a general plan: here's a few little things to remember for when you're in class.
1. For the love of God turn off your cell phone. Nothing angers a professor more than hearing a cell phone go off.
2. If your class offers extra help sessions and you think that you might need them then go! There's no excuse for passing up on free help in a class that you need work in.
3. Be bold! If there's an ECA that you have interest in, sign up for it! The best times that I had when I was in college came working for the college paper, and I'd never worked in journalism before in my life.
4. Even if you absolutely hate your roommate you have to do your best to be civil until you have a chance to pick a new roommate. This may not be until after your first semester, but it will be worth the hassle in the long run. Be firm with boundaries though: if you don't want your roommate making out with someone while you're in the room or doing anything else that you're uncomfortable with, lay it on the table on the first day. My roommate and I had to fill out a roommate contract at the beginning of the year, and we at least made an attempt to be serious with it. Something must've worked: we ended up living together for all four years that we spent at school.
I could go on forever here...so message me with any specific questions that you might have and I'll do my best to help. I graduated in 2008 from a small liberal-arts school with a B.A. in biology.

I dated this one guy for almost a year and felt so trapped and left out of my social circle I just froze up. I totally stopped talking to mark. Finally after about two weeks we talked and cut it off. Its been almost four months and I finally decided to apologize. I tried repeatedly to gert him to meet up with me so we could talk in person about the whole thing and he refused. After a while I just gave in and did it over text. He then told me he forgave me but wanted me to leave him alone for good. He told me I could never fix things and we could never be friends because I hurt him so badly. I see him every sunday at chuch and he won't even look at me. He won't let his friends even be nice to me or let them even say hey. I want to fix this. What should I do? (link)

Unfortunately, you'll find that a lot of guys will react the same way upon a breakup. It's nothing against the girl personally in most situations: we just don't really see a need to continue being friends with someone we loved when they don't want us anymore. We know when the ship has sailed and we'd rather focus on finding someone new than spend time with somebody who doesn't want to be with us anymore.
When we were all cavemen, there was little to be gained for a man to spend time with a woman who didn't want to be with him because there wasn't a chance to pass on his genes. Without that, there's no reason.
It sucks, but that's evolutionary psychology for you.

Ok. So I was trying to watch Greek episodes from surfthechannel.com and I clicked on one of the sites for an episode, and my computer freaked out.
I have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista.
It opened up some Virus Protection program called Green AV Security? And it keeps having windows popping up, telling me I have a virus, when I haven't noticed anything different, except for the annoying pop-up windows saying I have a virus.
Is there a way to stop the annoying pop-ups from these programs? They go every five minutes, and it gets completely irritating.
One pop-up says:
"Green AV protection has detected Spyward program Win32.Monster.fx that is trying to attack your computer. Do you want to block the attack?"
Another says:
"Warning! 41 infections found. Unwanted software or tracking cookies have been found during the last scan."
Help? I'm hoping theymos sees this, but I wanted to post this to everyone because maybe someone else knows something, too? (link)
|
Sounds like you've got a virus: pop-ups about virus software are a classic front for viruses, especially because of the potential for the owner to continue clicking on the pop-ups to get rid of the viruses that they've gotten. If you know anyone who is good with computers and virus removal, they'd be the ones to take it to. If not, you can always try bringing it to an electronics store, or if you're inclined you can do some research on the virus online. I've looked around for a few minutes and haven't come up with anything specific for that virus, but somebody else may have better luck.
As always, make sure to try and back up all of your important files, and make sure to speak to somebody who really knows what they're doing with computers before you do anything drastic.

okay guys, what do you think makes a good hand job/ blow job? What are things that a girl does that you enjoy? (link)

All it takes is enthusiasm, really. As long as you're legitimately interested in what you're doing and putting in an effort, we're happy.

i need good songs for my ipod.
i like good rap, rock, some country & alternative
i'm looking for good songs to jam out to haha.
& they can be old, i just forgot about all of the songs that were really good but i haven't heard in awhile so i forgott!
any good ones? (link)
|
Not sure if you've ever heard them, but you could always give Dave Matthews Band a try. They cover a massive number of genres (depending on the song), and they're one of the most prolific jam bands of all time. Try songs from the album "Crash" or "Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King": they're some of their more mainstream songs. Just a few good ones to try.
Jimi Thing
Two Step
So Much To Say
Bartender
Seven
Squirm
Alligator Pie
Too Much
Corn Bread
Don't Drink The Water
Halloween
The Last Stop
Just a few, I could probably go on for hours here.

I'm 14 and a female. My boyfriend wanted to try sex without a condom. I'm not on any birthcontrol or anything. He was only in there for 15-20 seconds. He did not cum. He also says he didn't precum, but in MY opinion, I think he probably did. We did this on the 19th. I had the small pain in my lower right and left side of ovulation on the 22nd. So, I was wondering how great the chances are that I could have gotten pregnant. Precum, I read, can last longer in the vagina especially shortly prior to ovulation, which in this case was 2 days later. Like I said, he is absolutely sure I'm not pregnant. He's sure he didn't cum nor precum. He is actually getting annoyed with me asking! I just worry a lot! Help! (link)
|
Yes, there's a chance that you're pregnant, though the odds are overwhelmingly good that you won't get pregnant from this. Your boyfriend has no idea what pre-cum is (it's not something that you can feel coming out), but it is possible for the limited amount of sperm inside of it to get you pregnant. Not very likely (fewer sperm means lower odds of one fertilizing an egg), but possible.
Don't be stupid: if you're not on birth control and a guy suggests that you have sex with him without a condom, tell him no. Is it really worth putting yourself through this much worry (and potentially dealing with an unwanted pregnancy at 14) just to make him happy?
Of course not.

13/f i have this major problem and i don't kno what to do..............i have to do this stupid dear before i turn 14(with i will be next month)i hav to have sex with a with a 18 yr old guy and im scared to.he is so cute were not in a relationship he likes me and i like him,im prety shore he would like to have sex with me.i see him a lot we hang out a lot were like friends in a way.I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD please tell me what to do.thank you (link)
|
DON'T DO IT!
I wish I had more to say, but it's all been said. Just figured that the more people who tell you not to do it, the greater the chance that you won't.
As far as dares go, that's one of the most ridiculous ones I've ever heard of. Whoever suggested it is not someone that you should be spending any more time with.

I dont know what is going on with my mom's boyfriend's mind. But seriously the problem he is giving me is causing me to be so angry that one time I was so hurt that I felt so shocked like my fingers were dead. I have told others here about my problem but I don't find it helpfull cause I think what he does is beyond just being a jerk. He looks at me inappropriately more that 1 time. I can see his eyes looking all happy cause he is looking at my body this totally angers me casue 1 I don't like him and 2 he is dating my mom why. Then its like he feels that I really dont like being around him so when we go somewhere he always has to open the door for me which I do not like. But when its here at our apartment its like he slams the door at me. It pisses me off to know that a man his age 33 can not act right. That I have to tell someone about it. I dont even have the nerves to tell this things to my mom. Cause I feel like what he does is close to sexual abuse. Everytime he is around I feel so fucking angry. Is he doing this all in purpose to make me leave? And recently I feel like he made me look like the bad guy that I say bad things behind peoples back. He know that those kinds of things pisses of my mom too. And I can not say anything that's not loud enough in front of my family without them thinking I must be saying something they don't like. So they sound mad back at me. (link)
| |
If you're even considering his behavior towards you to be sexual abuse then it's time to talk to your mom about it. I'm going to assume that you've done a fair amount of complaining to your mom about her boyfriend on other fronts and have not seen any changes in his behavior. That's unfortunate, but I guarantee you that she will listen to you if you tell her about how uncomfortable he makes you feel.

Alright, so I'm buying a new TV, and I was wondering which of the two were better...because I don't know a whole lot about TV's. They're both 42" LCD's, but here are the sites that you can compare them on...
Vizio 42" Class Eco 1080p LCD HDTV, VO420E:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10993796#ProductDetail
Dynex® - 42" Class / 1080p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV (Model: DX-L42-10A:)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9144295&type=product&id=1218035133352
Thank you =]
P.S. PLEASE list your reasons for picking one over the other. (link)
|
Agreed with the previous poster: these are two of the worst brands of LCD televisions that money can buy. Shop around a little bit online (Buy.com and Amazon are good choices) and see if you can pick up a Samsung or another high-end brand for cheap. Try sorting them by "Best selling" for good results.
You'll be kicking yourself in a year when your Vizio/Dynex TV fails on you: save up a couple more hundred dollars and buy yourself a nice one.
Of course, if you're not looking for a high quality TV and you just want something to watch, then I'd go with the Dynex. Best Buy's warranty programs are some of the best in the business, so if you get the longest warranty available you'll be all set when it fails.
