» What went wrong here between me and s...? please respond :\?

so i became friends with this guy, s, this year. we were really close for about a month. he told me things that were personal and i told him things that were personal. i kinda didn't want to be "just friends" but i didn't do anything to hint that. one day he just stops responding to me. he had just come back from west virginia and i said hi to him on aim and didn't get a response. i tried for days and he still wouldn't say anything. i told another friend about it who just happened to be a really close friend to s and s started talking to me. but it wasn't like it used to be. my other friend, b, had mixed things up and told s things i didn't ever want to tell him. 2 weeks ago he told me to "back off" so i have. ...... - 2009-07-04

» I'm getting married soon but don't want to wearing a wedding ring, what do you think?

it's not that i'm against the idea i just not comfort wearing rings. it would just irritate me.I think the most important thing on your wedding is your Marriage Vows because that is when you make promises to each other. The only purpose of the ring (other than the fact that it looks good) is that its the only way that people can tell that you are married, at a glance. It may also make your partner pleased to know you will both be wearing rings. You could have your ring engraved with your wedding date and you will never forget your anniversary! I hope that was helpful. all the best on your wedding.You should probably at least get a cheap one and wear it during the ceremony and reception so that you can have the traditional exch...... - 2009-07-04

You say god created you so he can do anything he wants with you. Why? Explain that. Explain that? Wow, you actually need that explained? All will eventually die. It's God appointed. Worry about eternity rather than this puff of smoke we call life.If a painter decided to tear up his painting, does he have the right? If you wanted to tear it up, do you have the right? If an artist wants to smash HIS statue to pieces, does he have the right? Do you have the right to smash it to pieces? The creator has control over its creation. He can give life or death, slavery or freedom, health or sickness. How can a creation say what is a good creation or a bad creation? How can a creation be in control of another equal creation ("all men are crea...... - 2009-07-04

» Synchronizing music on a college network.

My hallmate and I both have very loud speakers, and always argue about who will play music. We want to link our computers so we can have both speakers going when one person plays music. I've tried internet radio, but the buffer time causes the music to be out of sync. The tricky part is that she has a Mac and I have a Dell. We are on are both on the college network. We both use itunes, and the synchronizing media player would have to work on both my PC and her Mac (ibook G4). I understand computers fairly well, but any networking details would have to be broken down into steps. If any other information is needed, let me know. Who ever can solve this problem will be my hero.I have a solution for you (I think O_o). Have you ever consid...... - 2009-07-04

I'm going to be taking a photography class where an all-manual camera is required. I have a nikon f3, which i love (i actually spent very little money on my lenses, and i'm having to pay for it. my photos are consistently soft, and I'm pretty darn sure it's not because i'm focusing wrong http://www.texasphotoforum.com/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif ). I'm saving up for a 20d and a couple lenses, so i'm wondering if after the class i should buy a nice autofocus (which i know is partly the lens and the camera), but nothing too pricey, probably something under $250 or $300, so probably not a professional camera, just a sturdy one. Do you think i should save up for that so i can use the lenses I buy for my 20d with it or do you think i should jus...... - 2009-07-04

» HOW DO I MAKE IT PAIN FREE(nipple piercing)?????

i have had this feeling for ages about having a nipple pierced with a bar or a ring but i think it will hurt like hell ,is there a way to stop the pain altogether?????You can get a freezing spray which numbs the area and stops the actual piercing hurting but this can delay healing and you could still feel it afterwards. If your doing it yourself they're's no way to stop it hurting, even if you do the ice cube thing. Basically do you want your nipple pierced enough to put up with a bit of pain?Some piercers will use freeze spray, this basically makes the area go very cold, and numb.. They use it in hospitals. That might help. Some self piercers will use ice for the same effect but he spray is quicker and more hygenic. Other...... - 2009-07-04

» Can wisdom teeth cause my gum to be sore?

My upper gum have been sore for 2 weeks now. I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed in 3 weeks. They didn't grow yet, and where my gum hurts isn't really where my wisdom teeth are supposed to grow anyway? I also get headaches very often. I brush my teeth twice a day, and floss everyday.Wisdom teeth can make your gums sore, but only where they are trying to come through the gum. You might have some kind of infection in your gums or since they are bleeding when you brush you might have gum disease. I personally use Listerine every day because I also had a problem with bleeding and sensitive gums. It kind of burns a little, but to me it's better than seeing a dentist all the time. Since I have been using the Listerine, my gum...... - 2009-07-04

What I have are several hotmail email addresses, and I'd like to verify that they are "real" and, if they are, when they were created. I need to do this in a way other than by simply emailing them.The brief answer: You can't. I doubt that Microsoft will publish this data. ScriptorScriptor - thanks.

I understand you believe god gave people free will, and because of free will, people have different beliefs. Yet, even amongst people with the same beliefs, there is still argument about what the experience of god feels like. So my question is, if god is all-powerful, and does in fact manifest his presence to faithful people, why doesn't he bestow upon the believers a singular, common, "godly" experience, so that when two, or a dozen, or a million, or a billion people say, "I've felt god's presence" there is no question that they're all feeling the same thing?

I need to block the Netbios traffic from one specific server from being routed to our other subnets. Here's some background: We have a Windows-based network that spans over 3 locations, each connected by T1. We (still) use WINs for some name resolution, so completely blocking Netbios at the router level is not an option. However, we installed a new point-of-sale server at one location and will be installing identical servers at the other two locations. It is important that they not see each others Netbios traffic, though. The software is using Netbios to announce it's location for the point-of-sale lanes to find the server, and we don't want a register at one location to attach to a server at another location. ...... - 2009-07-04

» Can you return concert tickets?- i don't like where i am sitting?

My brother brought concert tickets today, but I hate where we have been seated, so i was wondering can you return concert tickets and then buy new ones in a better area of the concert hall? Also: Can you choose where you wish to be seated? or does the ticket seller just give you any seats?You can't return them to the concert venue - you will have to sell the privately. And yes, you can choose your own seats when you go to the window to buy them - and even over the phone with agents you can tell them where you want to sit and they will tell you whats available.You can ask to be seated in a specific area before you buy, but once the sale is rung up, it is too late. You an always try to but tickets where you want to sit, then ...... - 2009-07-04

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5132910.stm Bird flu vaccine '10 years away' By Matt McGrath Science reporter, BBC News Avian flu experts meeting in Paris have been told that a viable vaccine against the human form of the disease could take 10 years to develop. Dr David Fedson, a retired professor of medicine, told the conference that there were well-documented problems with the H5N1 virus when it came to making a vaccine. Scientists normally grow such a vaccine from an inert form of a virus, using chicken eggs as their favourite growing medium. According to Dr Fedson, who also worked for a number of years in the vaccine manufacturing industry, the vaccine produced from H5N1 was proving particularly diff...... - 2009-07-04

so I can set up a very large aquarium without it self destructing and flooding the room it's in. Its 12 by 18 by 30 inches and I was told it held forty gallons.I'm going to guess that your aquarium is 18" high in that case you would only fill it up to 16" so 12x30x16=5,760 cubic inches and there are 231 cubic inches per gallon, so 5,760/231=24.93 gallons. Water weighs 8.33 lbs. per gallon, so 24.93x8.33=207.67 pounds, plus the weight of the tank and any other items attached.Here's a handy site for you - its an aquarium volume calculator, and you can add in not only the tank, but all the other gadgets that go inside it, to get your total volume, etc - http://reef.diesyst.com/volcalc/volcalc....

» Some Ideas for Mosquito Avoidance

I called down to the Everglades National Park and talked to one of the park personnel about what they do in that area to help prevent mosquito bites. This is what came out of the conversation: The person I talked to used bug repellents with Deet. The person I talked to had developed sensitivity to Deet and when it was inevitable that they had to go out in mosquito weather they sprayed their clothing not their skin. Repellent may have to be reapplied every 6 to 8 hours or more depending on how much they sweet. They mentioned some people down there do use Avon Skin So Soft. The person I talked to did not like the smell of it and did not use it. They also wore long sleeves and baggy lightweight clothing along with socks and s...... - 2009-07-04

» Pneumonia and severely demented patients: a view

Source: http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2008%5C04%5C03%5Cstory_3-4-2008_pg3_5 VIEW: No diseases for old men —Peter Singer Pneumonia used to be called “the old man’s friend” because it often brought a fairly swift and painless end to a life that was already of poor quality. Now a study of severely demented patients in Boston-area nursing homes shows that the “friend” is often being fought with antibiotics. Such practices raise the obvious question: are we routinely treating illnesses because we can, rather than because we ought to?

» KATRINA/RITA VICTIMS CHARITY DVD

This idea was a hit last year and produced thousands of dollars towards the tsunami relief effort a year ago. A sequel was briefly mulled over earlier this year but never got off the ground. I think we have a pretty damn good reason to re-think this idea. I don't know about video production, but I'm guessing there will be a long line of chasers (including me) who would be willing to donate 2005 video for the project. If anyone's interested and makes this happen, I'm in.I'd definitely be interested in helping out with this... I have shot >20hrs of video from late April thru late June this year. Therefore, I have a wide variety of different material I could donate to this production. BTW If nobody wants to do the actual production itse...... - 2009-07-04

» The true Global Warming culprit ... real Christmas trees?

Sorry, I had to carry this over from the real/fake xmas tree debate going on in Polls and Surveys. I was just posting my lighthearted opinion on the tradition and wonderful smell of real trees, when I noticed another user's answer: "fake - real trees leave needles all over the place and contribute to global warming when they are cut down". Now, I have no problem with people who use fake trees. You are entitled to your own preferences the same as I. But to get holier-than-thou on those who chose authentic trees was just enough to spark my rebuttal: "Nicki- Real trees contribute to global warming!?!? What do you think the factories making those fake trees do for global warming? In the meantime, evergreen farmers are reduc...... - 2009-07-04

» Is a guys body a big deal to a women? (Ex. arm, chest, ab muscles?)?

Im just wondering some womens opinons..lose the glasses lolll but it really depends on the person. we dont expect all guys to have 6 packs basically a flat stomatch is good for meOn my opinion. No.It helps for a guy to have a good body, but it doesn't have to be great. It's nice if he has some muscles. However, he could be great looking but if he's a jerk I wouldn't want to go out with him.yeeeppp deffinetly.well as long as your not a fat slop who is just lazy then you dont have to be a perfect ten to be the perfect guy. girls who say that looks matter than much to them are shallow and worthless anyways so their opinion shouldnt matter. as long as you try and you make a real effort thats all that matter. some peoples g...... - 2009-07-04

» The Bride's Profile (1 pic)

One pic from a bridal session the other day. A few more on the way a lil later. Thanks. http://www.tngphoto.com/myspace/bridal.jpg The thing that I'm wondering if I'm the only one noticing is her ear. Do you think I should tone it down a bit so it doesn't distract from the pattern on her face? It looks like her face isn't entirely at a profile but turned at a slight angle away from the camera so I feel like the ear is drawing attention away even though it isn't that bright. Am I crazy or what? Maybe I'll try photoshopping the hair to completely cover the ear...any thoughts?I think it looks greatLooks Great! I love the lighting. And the ear...didn't even notice.Wow, thats an excellent looking image. I cant say that the ear sticks out alot...... - 2009-07-04

» I've had swelling in the veins near my left testicle is this a problem?

after i masturbate my veins on my left side next to the testicle get swelled like a bag of worms and there is a little pain. it usually goes away after a few hours, but now it has been a day and it still hasn,t. i looked online and i think it may be varicocele, but only after masturbation. i dont think that it is testicular torsion becuase there is not severe pain and it happens a lot. i know its not an std becuase i have never had sex. can someone please help me fast?This is something that a doctor should evaluate. You could have hard veins in your scrotum which isn't lethal but it can be annoying. Depending on your medical history you might consider taking an aspirin everyday. This may help.

My kid, who is a ward of the state, turns 18 next week. He has been on the run from foster care for 6 weeks and has an arrest warrant out. The court documents say the warrant will be "quashed" when he turns 18. How will I know the warrant is no longer valid on the books? Can I go by a copy of the court order? Do I need to get something else? Please helpIf the warrant was entered as a status offense, the computer recognized he was a juvenile. The warrant is automatically purged on his 18th birthday.

» Who loves the other more, Romeo or Juliet (give three arguments)?

They both love each other in different ways, but for true love, I'd say Juliet loves Romeo more, since she's willing to disobey and leave her family (although she's quite an obedient daughter). Romeo on the other hand seems more driven by lust and infatuation at the beginning. Although Juliet is more-level headed, I think that emphasises how much she loved him, especially at the end when she takes her own life, as a life without Romeo is not one worth living.Juliet--She's not on the rebound (like Romeo from Rosalyn) Romeo--He's not just trying to escape an arranged marriage (like Juliet and her fiance)...... - 2009-07-04
