Hey AJ!
I seriously need help.... BADLY! I think I'm falling for my friend. Only bad thing is that he's a senior so he's graduating this year and he doesn't know where he's going for college yet (maybe somewhere far away!!! ahhh). Do you think I should try to start something between us or just let my feelings pass? I also don't know if I want to risk his friendship. Anyways, thanks for reading this. Luv ya, buddy.
Well, you both are friends with each other. so as to "risking your friendship", that shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you're afraid that by asking him, and him saying no, that he won't want to hang out with you anymore, then he prolly wasn't the best guy to begin with. Worst-case scenario is that he'll probably just smile and try and let u down easy. If you let him know that him hanging out with you afterwards WON'T be awkward, then your friendship with him is safe. It could make it stronger.
In my personal opinion, I'd say totally go for the chance to be with him. A quote i found a day ago; "We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand... and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late."
~ Marie Beyon Ray ~
Some people might say "wait, since he's leaving it's not worth it", but you have to ask yourself; "Do you really like him, and do you really want to be with him"? Some of the best things that can happen, can happen now, not later. Why would anyone want to wait to be happy later, when you could be happy now.
yes, he is leaving for college, and that will present a painful departing, whether you're friends or more. But take the chance to live till then, don't pass up something great just because you were afraid of the end. Weird simile, i know, but would you not watch "old yellar" just because you know the dog will die in the end?
And thank you for actually asking me this directly. If you still need help, or someting wasn't too clear, just ask again =)

okay so sorry in advance if this is just kind of long. and thanks for taking the time to read it. :). okay so i have a best friend lets call him jack. So i have known jack for a veryy long time and im really good friends with him.And i guess he got into a fight with one of his good friends cause i guess his friend is like always ditching him to hang out with his gf. and jack dosnt like his friends gf in the first place. So i guess jack was really upset and all and i was talking to him and he said that he didnt see any point in living anymore. and he said he hoped he died before his birthday. I talked to him about it and everything and now he says he's okay but im still kind of worried.. any tips on what i should do and if i should still be worried... Thanks so much, I appreciate it greatly.
Ok, first off, do talk to an adult or a proffesional of some kind about his behavior. Trust me on that one. My friend showed signs that she was a little off, and she went missing a little while later because she had a breakdown. My friends and I were kicking ourselves for not having talked to someone to stop it.
As for doing something yourself, just be as good a friend as you can possibly be. Just show him how much you care, and how important he is to you. Just one person can make all the world to someone. And stay vigilant.
I hope he feels better =/

I have guy issues. Every guy I like, never seems to like me in that way. All the guys I like are my friends, and I don't know what is wrong with me. I'm kinda pretty, realtively thin, atletic, I got boobs and a butt, so I don't understand. I'm smart, and I don't think I have a dull personality, I like to flirt and joke around. Anyone have any ideas to why this might be happening?
Well, the last person was a little harsh...
I have the same problem you do, so i'm letting you know you aren't alone!
You might just have that personality that just screams "friend" rather than girlfriend. You could also just be chasing after the wrong guys for you.
Just hold out, cause there IS somebody out there for everyone, and as soon as you meet him, and he meets you, it'll come together.
Either way, i hope this doesn't bring you down too much, and i hope things work out better for you =)

I'm a sophomore in high school...and I'm really..scared. I don't know what to do with my life!..I don't even know the college process..how do I apply? How do I apply for financial assistance? What's a major/minor? I don't know which classes to pick when I get to college..I don't know what I want to be when I grow up..Can someone help me figure all of this college stuff out? Thanks so much.
Well, i'm a senior in high school, and i've applied to all the colleges now, and i'm waiting for their responses...and i'm STILL scared.
It's cool to be scared, just take a breather, and remind yourself before anything else, that no matter what; you'll live after high school ends.
First off, just focus on working your butt off right now as a sophomore, and then when you become a junior, make sure you do good in your classes as well.
Then, when you want to apply to colleges (i decided to apply to University of California system), you simply start researching the schools you may want to go to.
Take your time to think about what you want to do with your life, regardless of money, and define it a little. Hopefully you have school college counselors. They should have like books that talk about all the professions, and then colleges that major in those professions.
A major is like...the desired topic of study in high school. I want to major in aerospace engineering, so my college education will focus on the classes that apply to aerospace engineering. A minor is like...a backup major (in my opinion at least).
I don't know which classes to pick IN college either, but the college itself will help guide you through which classes you'll need for the profession you choose. As for picking classes in high school, make sure you pick the "college prepatory" classes over anything else (as in, colleges will recognize that the class teaches you something)
If you want to talk about the process more, i would love to help. Just ask me anything or talk to me =) It's complicated, but after a while you start to understand it.

what's better:
running for 15 minutes,
or walking for a half hour?
Running for 15 minutes or walking for half an hour create about the same workout. you lose the same calories, but i'd go with walking if you have the time.
Yeah, it takes longer, but it's easier on the body as a whole. When you run, you're jumping up in the air and slamming down onto one foot, with every step you take. That can cause a strain on some of your bones and joints. of course, this doesn't happen from one hour of running. But people that have been runners all their life can often times have problems in their later years, because their joints are so worn down.(creepy to think so far in the future, but true)
Plus, when you walk, it's relaxing and you can enjoy the scenery more =)

wenesday i have my spanish exam.
right now im doing horrible in that class and praying this exam helps me out.
i need more ways to help me get all these words into my head.
i made flashcards and i study them and theres ones i dont have any idea.
i Have extreme short term memory loss. so nothing sticks to my memory over maybe 30 min. I need something i can study for tomorrow then cram a little 30 min before the exam so some sticks.
sorry its confusing.
ill look at website if you can give me some.
and any ideas to help me study would be awesome.
by the way.: im only in spanish 1
Ok, being able to study for a test is probably the hardest thing to master. But once you know your learning style, you got it down for EVERY test basically.
You made flashcards, that's good. The process of actually making them helps a lot too. For some people (myself included) writing down the things i need to learn help me because then i remember the act of writing them and have the words to now look at.
Other people are more audible. so grab a friend or family member, sit them down, and have them quiz you, or you simply explain the words out loud to them. then you'll remember everything you said out loud on the test the next day.
The ones you have no idea about, attach them to another idea. Like if a word relates in anyway to something you're interested in, make that connection. Then remember "oh yeah, that word involves yadda yadda yadda".
I wish you good luck on your spanish test. And don't stress out too much, because that only causes you to freeze.

I just baught a new mp3 player which goes with media player and i have all my songs on it but the mp3 only holds 240 and i have 315 how do i make the list of songs which i want to be put on the media player. i think i double click it and it goes into the Now Play List. Then i hook up my mp3 and click start sync right? or does it download all the songs it can?
ill rate high!
Ok, i'm going to assume you have the latest version of windows media player. When you have windows media player open, and you're playin an album, the list of songs is displayed on the right side (in the now playing list).
When you're in the "library" tab, and you look to the right, find the button "now playing list" with a little arrow right next to it. Click the button, and choose "sync list" from the drop down menu. Then, select the songs you want to go on the mp3 player, and drag those songs onto the sync list.
Now, once you've made the sync list, plug your mp3 player in. You can either press the "start sync button" at the bottom right corner while in the "library" tab, or you can go to the "sync" tab, choose the "sync list", and sync the songs onto your mp3 player.
If all this doesn't make too much sense, just ask me and i'll be glad to explain whatever part in more detail =)

Hey 16-m. I'm terrible at keeping to a schedule and managing my time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try to manage my time better? I usually have things to do after school, and by the time I get home I have just enough homework to keep me going late into the night. After I look back on the day, I spot out about half an hour at the least I could have saved if I did things differently. Any ideas? ...I used to have a tan line on my wrist from my watch, which might explain why I've been bad at this lately [would getting a new one help?] Will rate - thanks a lot.
Well, you could go with the whole "day planner" deal, so that you can actually see the day you have ahead of you, and spot any way to catch some extra time BEFORE the day is finished. It helps some people, but some people cannot handle a day planner.
Another suggestion would be to cut one thing out or so from your day afterschool, so that you have time to waste. Of course, quitting a sport wouldn't be a good thing, but maybe not trying out for a sports team again will free up some of your afterschool time.
If you're in situations where you're just hanging around somewhere waiting for something to start, then maybe getting a watch to see just how much time you have (you could possibly have enough time to do a problem or two of homework) could be a way to go.

Hey guys!
I'm working on my homework right now...and I'm having a horrible time figuring out half lives!
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out this problem...
The half-life of polonium-218 is 3.0 minutes. If you start with 20.0 g, how long will it be before ony 1.0 g remains?
I'm really stuck right now and if you could please help me...I'll really appriciate (sp?) it!
Thanks so much

I tried to find the actual formula for this problem, but i can't really locate it.
so here's a site that basically does the problem for you. Just pick which variable you want to solve for (in your case time), and input the values it requests.
http://www.1728.com/halflife.htm
I put in your problem and got 12.966 mins (pretty much 13 mins).
I hope i helped =/

For my theater class we have to tape a comedian for about 3 minutes and mimic him exactly. Well, I know that I can find some on T.V. like ComdeyCentral and stuff but I was wondering if anyone knew how to find some online? Like a clip of their performance or something. I don't have a way of tapping it from T.V. so the online thing would be easier. Thanks.
There's pretty much everything on the internet. You can download a lot of comedian's specials, and there are some sites that stream it.
Small recommendation, if the material isn't too explicit for your class, is this guy, Russell Peters
http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=UkWN8h18D9Q&search=russell%20peters
He's quite entertaining.
A lot of comedians will have their own sites, and have a few small clips to download for free.
Funny guy is dane cook; http://www.danecook.com/
just go to the video section.
http://www.nickswardson.com/ another funny guy, and the clips he has you can actually download to your computer (but they aren't over 3 minutes)
Let me know if you find anything funny

Alright I'm 15 and I'm a male. My girlfriends birthday is comming up really soon & she won't tell me what she wants for her birthday. I have no idea what I should get her. She's going to be 14. If anyone can give me some ideas it'd be greatly appreciated. I'll rate you on it too. I really need some help. Thanks
Well, you could always go with jewelry, or like a promise ring with a cute promise to go with it.
If you want to try something different, i came up with an idea that sounds cool in theory. First off, since she is turning 14, get her 14 of her most favorite flowers. If you can get access to her room before her party, or on some other day, hide the 14 flowers all throughout her room (don't make it too hard, cause that will be annoying). Make sure she knows that there are 14. Then, have a large picture of you and her together, and on the back write something cute and endearing (or merely "Happy birthday"). Cut the picture into 14 pieces, and hide each piece with each one of the flowers. Let her find the flowers, and the pieces, put the pieces together, and see the picture of you and her, with your message on the back.
Let me know how that works! I'm going to have to save that idea somewhere.

Ok im in a screwed up situation. Well there is me and this girl i have known since like september of 2002. OK we have been through our ups and down you know. ANd yeah i have tried hooking up with her but am giving up on that. Well me and her talk on messenger off and on or at least used to. But here lately when i say hey or whatever, soon as i put it and send it to her she say logs off. I talk to her sister cause me and her sister are good friends. And was talking to her sister and she had it online to her sister but offline to me. And this didnt happen til some boy named michael got in the picture and they started talking and going out. But her her sister and her mom are like second family to me. I have no problem with the sister and mom though. I went over to there house last weekend and helped them out you know they let me stay the night alot. And the bad thing is its like some of my other friends are sort of ignoring me to and truthfully i havent done nothing wrong. I been the same ole me and try to be nice. But i am tired of it and am honestly turning into an asshole. My questiong is, does she really care for me like a friend. And what should i do bout this cause its ticking me off.
When you tried hooking up with her, did it end badly? If so, maybe she's hurt and angry over something you did.
Since you didn't mention that it ended badly, i'm guessing that you two were able to remain friends.
Now, it seems as though she's giving you the cold shoulder for absolutely no reason. Normally, if someone was acting that way to you, i'd say simply forget them and move on. But since you're so connected to her, and her family, find some time to take her aside face to face and talk to her.
Ask her what's going on and why she won't talk to you that much.
If she opens up, then work on your friendship with her from there. if she doesn't open up, I'd personally say just don't bother with her. If she's been ignoring and avoiding you while you are hanging out with her family, let her keep doing the work of avoiding, and just enjoy the friends you have.
Whether she cares for you as a friend or not, don't let her change you into something you don't want to be. Find a friend that treats you like a friend.

You when you search for something on google and then you go back another time to search for something else, it saves and as your typing guesses what you be searching for. how do i get rid of all the prevous searches I have done?
Well, it depends what browser your using. I'm going to assume internet explorer. When you start to type in a search query, it tries to automatically fill it out for you, correct?
If so, go to "tools", choose "internet options." Go to the "content" tab. Look down, and find "autocomplete". click the button, and uncheck the button next to forms.
that should stop the box from trying to complete the words in the search bar.

OK, I know NOTHING about laptops but I'm looking to buy one in the next year or so. All I really want it for is working on and going on a few websites. I know you can get laptops which you can access the internet from, without a connection - how does that work? Do you still have to register with an internet company like you would with a normal PC?
Basically, I don't know a thing and would like to be better informed before I start looking. If anyone could tell me what I should be looking for, it'd be a great help :)
If you're looking for a simple laptop, and plan to only use it for some work, you can get one for a nice price.
If you're work basically involves word documents (not too many photos), and no music, you odn't have to worry about getting a big hard drive (over 40 gb). If you aren't going to have a bunch of programs running all at once either, you don't need that high of a processer speed.
As for the wireless part, there are laptops with wireless adapters built in (mine being one of em), and they merely scan for existing wireless networks and jump on to the network.
My house has it's own wireless network set up, so all i had to do was turn on my laptop and hop on. If you don't have a wireless network in your house, then you will have to create one (with a wireless router hooked up to your internet; meaning you still have to pay for your own internet AND buy a wireless router).
there's also the option of going to places that already have wireless networks. Libraries and some shops (mainly starbucks) are starting to create wireless networks for their buildings, so that people can walk in and hook on to the network for free. I even heard a city is trying to make citywide wireless internet.
Anyway, if you do plan on moving a lot with your laptop, all over the house or such, then go for the wireless adapter built-in to a laptop, and spring for the wireless router (or, maybe you have a generous neighbor with a wireless network already set up). Otherwise, stick with cords, cause they're cheaper, and more secure.

I used to like a guy during the whole summer, and he knew, and there was a possibility he liked me, but then he went off to University, Could that be the reason why he did not start anything? Also, he has a girlfriend now (but she asked him out hehe), how do I become friends with him, and try to make him think you are over him? I dont want to tell him "im over you" because I am afraid that he will feel even more uncomfortable being around me than he does now. Thank you so much, and I will rate.
To your first question. He might not have liked you like romantically, but if he did, he might not have started anything because he was going off to college. It'd be hard to have a relationship, and then have to end it not because one person stopped liking the other, but because you two are no longer physically together. It makes it hard to let go, and can be painful.
As to being friends with him. Just call him up, talk to him, but don't flirt with him. Maybe even dropping hints like "i'm glad that you're my friend, i wouldn't have it any other way" will clue him in that you think of him as a friend (and only a friend).

I am doing a project for school and I need to know the difference (cost wise) in the euro and the american dollar. Like how many euros would equal an american dollar. Or how many dollars would equal the euro. Any help would be grate!
I will rate and leave comments :)
As of January 6th, one euro is worth 1.2093 dollars.
The dollar is finally starting to gain a little strength compared to the euro again. Less than a year ago, the euro was worth around 1.35 dollars. (just in case you wanted to know =P )

My boyfriend and I have been together for a while now. I love him to death. I do everything with him and Hes probably my closest bf Ive had.
Latley though (meaning the last 2 months) Ive notice he's been worring NON stop. I mean I have to promise him everything. He'll ask me if i love him and I'll say of course! and he will ask ... are you sure? do you promise? He always has to re ask me over and over if im going to call him that night or make sure plans are to be w/ him and no one else. We have talked about this worrying thing before and He said he would work on it, but its not getting any better.
Soo guys ... why do you worry? Or is it just my boyfriend. I am one of those girls that can work out anything so breaking up w/ him isnt an option. Him knowing that I dont know why he worries soo much. It HAS TO STOP THOUGH. That makes me more frustrated then anything else about him.
Please get some reason that would explain this!
He might always worry simply because he's still insecure about you and him. Past experiences might make him insecure, and now he's just afraid. break-ups can sometimes come out of nowhere, and that might be a case for him, so now he doesn't feel secure even though you two are in a stable relationship.
Talk to him about that, but it really is something that he has to work on himself. It's a self-confidence issue on his part that he needs to overcome as time passes.

16/f Okay, there's this guy who I kinda liked a week ago. Rumor had it that he had a mondo crush on me and thought that I was a hottie (only thing is that he's about 2 inches shorter than I) We talked on the phone almost every night and by the end of the week I REALLY liked him; however, over the past 3 days or so he's been ignoring me. I thought that it might be because he was sick and had the flu (because that's what his away message had said for the last 3 days) but now he's better... he took me off his top 8 on myspace, he took my quotes off his info, and he won't call me anymore... I have the feeling that he's over me and the only reason he was being nice was so that I'd fall for him. I want him to like me again; how do I do that?
Well, first off, you have to ask yourself if you actually want him to like you again. If he can change his mind so fast, what's to say that he's not going to repeat this change later on in your relationship with him. Also, when you talked on the phone all the time, who was the one that called? Did he always call you? If so, then maybe in the past three days he was testing you, to see whether you cared enough to call or not. Guys can play mind games as well, and he might think that you've done something wrong because you've done nothing at all (i.e. not called him).
On the actual issue of making him like you; Call him up, talk to him. He has to like you for some reason...other than physically, so be around him and remind him just what he liked about you. Practice the art of flirting =P. But brace yourself for the fact that he MAY have moved on, and he may not be willing to revert to the past.
Either way, i hope things work out for you. If the situation changes, let me know and maybe this will shed some light on the problem.
