Open Question: I had a one night stand and cheated on my boyfriend?

My boyfriend got into a bad fight about him taking a job out of town. I went out with my girlfriends (not intending for anything to happen, just drinking). Anyway, I met this guy. He was totally gorgeous (5'11, muscular, long wavy blonde hair, gorgeous blue eyes, pale skin, full lips, well I'll stop now because I'll ramble on otherwise). But anyway, we got to talking and he was just so nice and funny. So I asked him back to my apartment. We had sex (a lot of it). And it was just so completely... terrific. My boyfriend's the same age as him but more of like "Let's do as much as we can, as hard as we can and as fast as we can." The sex was like really slow and romantic. So anyway, my boyfriend, who was supposed to away for his "new job" strolled in the morning after to find us both in the kitchen being busy but not cooking. The guy asked to see me again and my boyfriend is furious about me being with him. I didn't think my boyfriend and I were still together because taking that job would pretty much mean it was over. He wouldn't talk to me so I went out with the new guy again (who continues to be insanely perfect). Today, I talked to his sister (he won't talk to me now) and she told me he came over that morning to propose. I feel bad of course. And even though I've been with the new guy a short while, he's just so intriguing. Not to mention the physical connection (but he never initiates sex, I do). My boyfriend would be the better choice on paper: I know he loves me, he's got a good job and ready to settle down and the new guy, everything is uncertain. I love my BF but I feel like I connect with the new guy better. I just don't know what to do. Please help. Thanks.Well, he told me he was taking a job over a hundred miles away and that his decision was final and stormed out. I figured we were over. more

Open Question: About twitter...online AND mobile questions?

I've had one for awhile now, but I just haven't used it. I'm having a hard time finding people i know who have one. Any suggestions on how to go about doing this?

So would I be able to recieve tweets and post my own from my phone? more

Open Question: Completely prepared to get out of marriage but stuck in this complicated situation?

I am married since 8 months, my husband is an american and i am an east asian. My husband has had no sex with me since we got married.. For first 3 months he cited the reason as lay off stress, for the next 3 months he cited the reasons as getting bored in the job that he is in, for the next 2 months till date he has been worried about his new interview coming up in a week's time. I supported him all thru this, i openly communicated, i persuaded him and got rejection everytime, which frustrated and made me depressed. There was no connection whatsoever b/w us no matter how hard i tried. But when we were dating before marriage things were completely fine.. Because of this situation of no sex for 8 months, there were arguments between us pretty frequently in these 8 months, which was obvious since he had no feelings for me at all and he would never explain me the reason as to why and then the discussion after this was bound to be there. A week back i told my family about this and they were shocked and were very sad hearing about this situation. They immediately got tickets for me to go back to my country. I was very happy and i am still and was prepared to happily get out of this hell and look for a new life ahead back in my country. Yesterday night my husband finally made love to me, he pleased me and did everything that a husband does to his wife.. And today morning he told me that from now on he would give me the same love and pleasure in the bed everyday and that he wants me to be together forever with him. I asked him "why now after 8 months?". He said that he was heavily stressed back then and now he feels positive about things in life. After that my family called just now and told me that how i should come back and explained me the divorcing procedure and everything. Right now i have mixed feelings and i don't know what is right.. My husband finally had sex with me so he might be like this forever or it could be that its just a one day drama he did.. i told him In spite of him changing i don't feel any love for him cos now i feel more like he has done a huge favour n i don't wanna be in this marriage anymore but he tells me, "no, its just that u feel like i am doing a favour cos i am giving u the love u deserve after 8 months. But eventually i would give u all the love i have for another 8 months and this feeling u have got will go away and u will love me again. Just give me a chance, one chance please. i will never let u down again". I don't know what to do.. Should i stay in this marriage hoping that everything has finally become right or should i leave as i had decided before? more

Open Question: Moving away for 4 months, how can I prep my boyfriend for a long-distance relationship?

I'm moving to Africa to study for four months and my boyfriend and I just recently got back together. We've already had somewhat of a long distance relationship during the school year, but it will be harder for us/nearly impossible to call each other while I'm gone and the internet connection is iffy at best. What can I do to make him feel special while I'm gone? more

Open Question: Help with Maplestory private server problem?

Well I had played on a private server on my laptop but unfortunately I had to reformat the hard drive. Now I have reinstalled it but everytime I start it up it comes up with this error, "We are unable to connect to the login server due to a server check, a firewall block or other network issues. Please check the MapleStory homepage for ongoing server checks as well as your firewall settings." Now I am sure that the server is up (my little brother is able to play it without any problems using the same wireless connection I am). My computer runs Vista home basic SP2 and I have Avast antivirus. Any help/solutions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Yahoo community. more

Open Question: Married but falling for someone...I'd like to date him?

My husband knows. I told him. I met a guy and there is a strong connection. Attraction, but also so much more. His demeanor is so gentle and kind. He genuinely listens. He does more asking than talking. We have hobbies in common. I feel so drawn to him. Even despite him being a few years younger than me...so that says something! Just a few years. But, normally would never! The big thing is I am married. Marriage is not horrible with spouse, but don't like his temper when we fight. He isn't abusive. He's a good person. But, I'm feeling physical pelvic pain all the time around him...even just sight or sound of husband. It's not his fault either. Now, I meet this new person...and wish I was single. The way he made me feel in only a few times I've never felt by anyone in my life. This sounds strange, but there was a feeling of supernatural peace or calm in me at one point while talking to him! I felt healed and content being there - I could've stood there forever. Now, I can't get him out of my brain... and I cry a lot... I don't know if I even believe at love at first sight... but, I fell pretty hard... the feeling was incredible. And, I just want to be with him. My husband, I've always wanted to change little things... and now, that I see how I feel about this person I admire so much, it makes me so sad. Sad because I don't want to lose my husband or hurt him badly. But, sad if cannot explore at least a little further whether this new person is the "right" person... dare I say soulmate? Or, what this feeling even was... I need to know. Or, is the devil or bad force able to trick me into feeling it as a good feeling in order to destroy a marriage? I dont know. All I know is I would die for that feeling..... sounds crazy, I know. But, it was that wonderful. And... as much as I do love my husband, I can't stop wishing I could just be in the same room with this other person.... his presence was unlike anything else I've ever experienced or felt. I feel crazy, please help. What do I do! I have been in depression for years... now, all of a sudden, I am happy/sad... but more motivated to eat healthy, exercise, laugh... all because of this new hope. Yet, I dont know if I could ever have him... or leave my husband in the process. I am so heartbroken and torn and need solid help. I don't know if I will ever get him out of my head. Yet, if I leave my husband, I don't know if I will be able to forgive myself -- or if I will regret it. Who knows. :( more

Open Question: What is best affordable External USB 2.0 Harddrive for Dish network DVR?

I am looking for a good USB 2.0 External Harddrive for my Dish Network HD DVR Box. I'm looking for 1 TB of space but I don't want to pay the 170$ that Dish networks partner Seagate wants for their External HD. I asked Dish Network if any External USB drive would work and they said yes. As long as these apply: The External Hard Drive must: a. Be between 50 GB minimum to 1 TB maximum (external hard drives containing more than one physical internal disk may not be recognized by the receiver). b. Have its own external power supply (not powered using the USB connection to the receiver.) c. Support USB 2.0. 2 of 3 C Note: Most brand-name external hard drives are compatible. Do-it-yourself kits and expandable racks may not be compatible. Only single-disk hard drive units are supported. Currently, you can only connect one USB device (such as a hard drive or PocketDISH) to the receiver at one time. However, you can connect different external hard drives one-at-a-time (for example, to dedicate one drive for movies and one for sporting events). So if anyone has any advice on a good External Hard drive that will work with my Dish "SOLO VIP DVR 612" HD Reciever. I am hoping to find one for around 100$ maybe a little more. more

Open Question: She wants to adopt our next baby?!?

My husbands aunt was TTC with her husband for a few years but she recently found out she's unable to have kids. She's devastated and I feel so bad for her. I have a 16-month-old son and she's great with him..you can tell she really loves him! Anyways, my husband told me that his aunt Mary asked if she could adopt our baby the next time I become pregnant. What the hell?! I would never be able to give my baby up for adoption. With my son I felt such a strong connection to him before he was even born and I'm sure that will hthey'lln my future pregnancies. I wouldn't be able to go through a pregnancy having that bond with MY baby..and then give it up and watch another couple raise it. My husband seemed okay with what his aunt was asking but I thought it was a little crazy. I don't think I'm being selfish, I mean there ARE other ways she can adopt a baby. and I have no idea when she thought I'd get pregnant again..I'm only 20 and in college. I don't plan on having another baby for another 6-8 years. I also think it's kind of weird that she brought all this up to my husband first, without me there too. He said she's going to talk to me about it the next time we go over there. How can I tell her that I can't give any of my future babies up for adoption? This is going to be really hard for me and I don't want to seem like the bad guy. I hope she understands... more

Open Question: How to connect with him after all we have been through?

I was pregnant from a hot hook-up with this amazing london guy. however, he was just coming out of a long term relationship and not ready for anything (not much contact for few 3 weeks).I think i had a crush on him--he is perfect in every regard. Since i told him i was pregnant, he has been such a gentleman to me: he called every few days just to check if am alright, but he insisted that he doesn't want to have a child at this time of life. its wrong. but he didn't pressure me into it. He said he wants to try to be friends with me if i abort the baby as we have been through so much. after five weeks hard decision making, (he invited me to his place at night before his departure at evening, he called before departures to london, from london, and on arrival when he back..he has been there for me as he said he would). So i did the abortion three days ago. HOWEVER I think i scared him a bit now: He called last night again..and i told him i did the abortion. he felt the relief and think that i was being brave and it was a amazing what i have been through all on my own..and offer to catch up anytime i prefer.. i was all emotional,and casted a lot of blame on him, lots of stupid questions(such as how we going to go from here,and he didnt mean to really be friends, suspect he would keep distance...etc...totally rubbish talk!) and he feels that i have strong feelings for him and still like him a lot, although resent him as well. it seems obviously to all my friends that i am in love with him, but i think i am cool with the fact that it didn't mean to be and that was just a moment of connection. I have made effort to abort the baby so he doesnt feel being forced into a situation. He told me that he doesnt want to have a relationship with me, not even a casual one.and he doesnt know me and i don't know him. we seems always talk for hours on the phone, and i always seem angry at him..and he is always trying to comprehense my feelings and all the emotions, lots of apologies and trying to be supportive..and be there for me...he is so nice that its hard to not to like him.. But he did ask me that--- "why would i want to know him after all these?" he said that he is cool with the idea of being friends but he worries that some day in the future that i will be all in tears again as i have such strong feeling for him.. i am going to see him tomorrow night, i have no idea what should i talk about..i really want to keep him in my life after all of these, but i don't know how to answer those questions... what should i do to make myself out of this pathetic situation and have him feeling comfortable with opening up to me..We will meet tomorrow night (he comes to my place), but he doesn't know how he feels yet, but will see how he feels from there.. more

Open Question: Windows 7 rc running ridiculously slow?

HI.I just installed windows 7 rc 64 bit on a second hard drive(vista is on the first) with a clean installation.I'm not running any anti virus or any other program and have not connected to the internet so a virus is not an issue.The problem is it's running incredibly slow,just navigating the start menu is taken a very long time,let alone attempting anything else. It took me around 6 hours to install for some reason and am wondering if their could be a connection with why it's running so slow. My cpu supports 64 bit processors ,it's a Q6600 and i have 4gb pc26400 ram.I've reinstalled and still have the same problem I would appreciate any help.ThanksFrom what i've read most people are very happy with it,a great improvement over vista and even though it's an rc it's very stable so the problem is elsewherei mentioned that it's a Q6600 quad core.It's running at 2.4Ghz. Geforce 9500gt 1gb graphics card. I've installed windows 7 on a samsung 30gb pata drive I burned the iso at the lowest speed possible ,i think it was 2*i downloaded windows 7rc from microsofti've already redownloaded the iso and reinstalled but the problem remainswould i even be able to install windows 7 if the iso were corrupt?I was thinking about the pata drive being incompatible or too slow.I bought a new sata drive and will try with that. I can't install on my primary vista drive because i lost my vista dvd and i don't want to risk something going wrong while partitioning. more

Open Question: Would you have been better off if you flunked out of college?

I actually graduated from a good school, and like many of my peers without connections, am struggling hard. I realize that even if I had a science major, I still would've been royally screwed. The only fields that really pay well are engineering, accounting and that's it. The other ones are a crapshoot, and law is about as valuable as a History BA! Honestly, if I flunked out of college and went to a trade school, I'd probably be sitting pretty today. more

Open Question: Should I be a Doctor or Lawyer?

Hi! I am extremely interested in going into either the medical field, or law. I couldn't decide what to begin pre-studying in extra classes, so I thought I would ask unbiased people what they thought! :D I just turned 16 and I am extremely visual spatial!(someone who is visual and learns better with images) I took Chemistry, which I believe I can totally understand, but I did not like my teacher. He used to be a top dollar chemist, but I don't think he explained it well enough for me to understand it. But like I said, I am visual spatial, and learn better from sight than words. I made a 96% in biology and a 91% in Algebra. I didn't learn well from my Algebra teacher either, because her way of explaining was not good for my personal learning preferences! However, I'm completely willing to retake these classes in order to fully understand them, and I think that I am fully capable. I made a 99% in my AP Euro class and a high A in English. English and History are my best classes, but I enjoy science when I understand it! Math can be fun for me, but usually when I have to work hard for an answer. I like to find my own ways to solve problems and using all the knowledge I have in my arsenal to come to one answer and I enjoy excitement. For the Law area, I find myself being absorbed into shows like, The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity, Huckabee, and Glenn Beck. I love the Fox News Network! I enjoy healty debate and am very competitive! But one thing I don't think I will enjoy doing is sitting at a desk all day. I would much rather be on my feet in an exciting atmosphere. I get bored very, very easily. My hair color can attest to that! I always need to keep myself busy or I get booorrrrreeeedddd! Ok, so here are some more of my attributes for being a good doctor: 1.) I am a Christian, so death is not something that makes me too terribly sad. I can handle it very well. I understand that it happens, and that it's just the circle of life 2.) I don't get too attached to people. 3.) I work very well under pressure. I actually work better under pressure. 4.) Blood does not bother me one bit. 5.) I love to learn and gain knowledge 6.) I'm one of those people that once I put my mind to something, like saving a patient or finding a cure, I'll stop at nothing to achieve my ultimate goal and I'm not afraid to take the necessary risks. 7.) I'm a good listener. 8.) I can retain large amounts of information and use it to my advantage when I need to. 9.) Helping people is SO important to me. I love to make differences in peoples lives and making their quality of life better. 10.) I have an uncanny ablity to make people comfortable because I can make a connection with almost anyone. Some bad things about me and being a doctor is: 1.) I'm a little bit of a shot phobe, but I'm already on the road to acceptance of them! So it shouldn't be a problem anymore. 2.) Once again, science and math are something I'll have to work at to understand. (not biology, I'm actually very good at that. Anatomy is another science that I enjoy and that comes naturally) 3.) uhhh... I think that's all. Being a Lawyer pros: 1.) I'm a fighter! 2.) I enjoy politics and law 3.) Just like with the doctor, I enjoy standing up for people and helping them to my best ability. 4.) Again, I work best under pressure. 5.) I'm very frank. I tell it how it is. 6.) History and English are my best subjects. 7.) My morals help me take a side and become adamant about my position. 8.) I could become a politician. :D Cons: 1.) I don't like to sit around for too long. Like for research and stuff like that. 2.) I NEVER want to stand up for someone guilty. That's where my morals kick in. 3.) I sometimes get angry when I debate. That's all I can think of for cons. But yah. I play tennis and the viola if that makes any difference. I have a GPA of 4.44445, haha or something like that! :D I am religious, I enjoy being in action as much as I can. Hours of the job don't really bother me that much. I don't plan on having more than two children, maybe even less. I love people, From fetus' in the womb, to 130 year olds! My mom tells me I'm good at speaking to people and can make people feel inspired and better about themselves. Like I said, I can be very blunt, but maybe that can help me! I'm not the type to beat around the bush. I took a year of Latin, until my beloved Latin teacher left! :( I really enjoyed it though. I have a HUGE intrest in languages. I am currently dipping my 'knowledge french fry' in some 'German, Japanese, and Korean' ketchup! :D lol. but yah. I'm a sucker for knowledge and I have easy access to OU medical school, but am also dreaming of Notre Dame. On my first try (I didn't finish any of the sections, I didn't manage my time correctly) I got a 22 on my ACT. For the questions I did answer, they were EXTREMELY easy and I believe that I am capable of scoring in the 30's more

Open Question: Why is she so confussing?

my ex-best friend of 2 years- we broke up in november 2008 and stopped talking since then today i asked her the following questions and also asked her to have lunch with me and other friends, she had lunch but it was really hard to make conversation with her and i only asked her random things like do you like twilight and doesn't she think the food was tasteless. "the past few months our connection has been like a rolecoaster and i really dont like that. the past is the past and nothing can ever be changed...do you want to start again? to that she answered "yes but i want it slowly?" and i told her to be honest and not to say it for the sake of it and she said that she means it. and then later on i found out from another friend who is in her class- she had told her what i had said and if she should be friends with me? why? did she mean it... p.s: she broke our friendship not me- it wasn't something big either more

Open Question: Over-controlling Parents?

I need some advice here. I've just received the course list for my sophomore of high school. I took the option to skip bio and take physics instead in my freshman year, mostly from my parents' pressuring. I don't see how that could have helped me in any way, seeing as I'd have to take it this year. I'm already going to be taking English-2A (AP course), Pre-Cal, and AP World History, but my mom wants me to request AP Biology. I really don't need the extra stress and study of another AP class, but my over-controlling mom says she wants "me to be a doctor and help and save people". We got into a fight because my goals differed from hers. I said "saving people isn't for me" and that I plan to join the military. She raises her voice, if you could really raise it any higher, and says that I will die and that I'm a bad son (she said the same thing when I wanted to go to a store a quarter of a mile away on a bike but she wouldn't let me and I went anyway). I barely got straight A's this year because school is getting a lot harder, and both my parents are complaining already. It was implied in my family that to deserve privileges requires a set of A's, but they already stopped me from going out and seeing friends after the grades were mailed home a week after school. They want to send me to a summer tutoring center for math because that's my weakest area and they called me a disgrace because I apparantly do not meet their ridiculous standards. We recently fought again over them trying to convince me to take care of the baby the might try to have, where they said it's my responsibility when it's THEIR baby and not mine. If THEY choose to have a child, THEY should raise it and not have someone else do it. But of course they're going to have one anyway. I understand that as a family member, I should help out too, but that also means I should have a say. If my opinion on that didn't matter, then why would they f*ckin ask me? I'm already trying my best in school, the house, and outside. I'm losing connections with my friends, respect for my parents, and a desire to do my best because if it isn't enough, what's the point? It's pretty obvious I don't have many friends due to the amount of time I spend with my face in the house away from society.They always try to compare me against other children as if I am an object, disrespect and curse at me yet tell me to respect them, tell me not to do the exact things THEY do (smoking, swearing, etc.). I understand that my dad's smoking problem is due to an addiction, but as for the swearing he has a choice because. I tried talking to them but they change subjects, stop me midsentence (but tell me not to do that to them), raise voices, and say they don't want to talk anymore once they realise I have a point and they refuse to accept it. I can't deal with this shit, since apparantly they haven't realized that everybody grows up. I still love th.......their parenting skills with 14-year-olds. How do I deal with this? I can't talk with them, I can't reason with them, and I can't wait this over because I'm out of patience (guess who ate away at it). By the way, they're Asian. What a god damn surprise.I now understand why high school is so hard more

Open Question: Linksys / D-Link Router?

I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router that I have had for about 5 years. It has been working good until recently. I have the following gear hook up on my Network. Desktop PC (Wired), PS3 (Wired), Directv Receiver (Wired), Media Server (Wired), Laptop mostly (Wired) but once and a while (Wireless), Print Server (Wired), iPod Touch (Wireless). The problem I have started about a month ago, I was streaming internet radio on my server that I was remote desktop in and also using my iPod Touch. Where out of no where my internet connection dropped. The only why I was able to bring it back was doing a hard reset on my Linksys and reprogramming the settings. Now when ever I loose power at my house the Linksys cannot reconnect up to the Cable Modem with out a hard reset and reprogram. So yesterday I went to Micro Center where the salesman sold me a D-Link DIR-655. When I got home I thought I would try one last thing with my Linksys and I installed DD-WRT Firmware on it. To my surprise the Linksys works now. I have unplugged it and replugged it back and and it seems to connect to the Cable Modem each time. So I'm wondering what you guys think if I should return the D-Link and keep using my Linksys? Or should I install the D-Link due to better performance and features? Also do you think my network is putting to much of a draw on my Linksys? Thanks for the help in advance. Sorry about making the question so long. Joe more

Open Question: In a relationship, is physical attraction also related to emotional connection?

Sorry this is long.. but.. I really want someone to help me sort things out.. ? Can physical attraction in a relationship decreases with the increasing lack of emotional connection? Initially my boyfriend was quite attracted to me physically. We've been together for around 2 years.. been through a lot of rough times and had countless arguments and fights.. I've always doubted our compatibility but we just couldn't let each other go. Recently he said he sees me more as a sister than a girlfriend, but I could swear it's not like this in the beginning at all. He said my personality changed, and he was blind enough to not realize that problem until a few months ago.. He also tells me frankly that he has little sexual attraction to me now (but apparently he told me that he was very physically attracted to me in the beginning, which is one of the reasons we got together, the other reasons being I seem to be so caring and we have a great time hanging out together, really comfortable). He told me he could not get turned on because of my fat arms and tummy... But I'm not really sure if this is biggest reason. I was not much thinner in the beginning, maybe 5lbs thinner at most. But the weirdest part is when he kisses me sometimes (he only kisses me when he is happy with me.. when I happen to make him feel happier that day), he still gets erection.. also the same when he humps on me he gets hard.. ( we did not have sex before so we dunno what it'll be like.. we promised not to do that until my parents know about it). He does not talk to me his deep feelings now because he thinks I trampled over his self-esteem as I hurt him a lot before.. When we go out now (as he still initiates dates sometimes), we're really more like close friends who care a lot about each other. When I ask him why we're not romantic any more, he keeps on blaming me for not truly loving him in return and only using him as someone to "love" me and take care of me. He just couldn't feel the love at all. I don't think he is a hurtful person he is just frank as he is.. maybe the truth is he just cannot get turned on when he sees my fat? Or could it be related to a deeper emotional issue?He is really not an asshole. He is at most inconsiderate without knowing it.. Well he basically is this very frank and untactful person.. And when we're together.. he always cooks for me... takes care of me in a lot of ways. it's just that I've been too bad to him in the past maybe he doesn't like to be always on the giving side any more.. more

Open Question: Is there a trick to VB 6.0 ADODC Connection strings?

I have a VB 6.0 project that uses an Access database for data storage. The project and the access.mdb files are in the same folder along with the *.UDL file. The project works fine on my computer. The problem I have is that when the project is packaged and deployed, the user has to deploy it to a folder with the same name and the same file path. I have now removed the *.UDL file, and copied the content script into the ADODC connection string, the project still works just fine, but the path for the database address is still hard wired into the connection string. My question. Is there a way of writing a path for the connection string to the database where you do not have to specify an actual path with the full drive:\dir1\dir2\*.mdb but only specify the *.mdb file name and the connection string will default to only look for the database in the active/current folder? By doing this, the user will be able to deploy the project to any folder on any drive on their machine. Many thanks for your ideas more

Open Question: Caught Between 2 Guys?

I like 2 guys. The first guy i like is Brandon. He's my best friend and ive liked him for 6 months. I don't think ive ever liked anyone more. And he likes me back, but he's the shyest guy ever and would never confront me or ask me out. Its like ive been waiting and waiting but nothing changes. And i couldnt ever see us having sex, because he's so shy and kind of "chubby". But weve had so many special moments and no one knows me like he does. Its hard to let him go. He's a part of me. The second guy i like name is Jesse. Back in January (right before i started liking brandon) we had a thing, and i really really liked him. Theres never an awkwardness and theres just that sexual connection, and he feels more like a boyfriend than a friend. I could actually have an open relationship with him because he's outgoing. Who would you choose? And why? I really like Brandon but i really don't see it going any further... should i hold on or just let go? more

Open Question: can I take a hard drive out of one computer and put it in a different one without losing what is on it?

Here is the deal. Recently , my father's computer went down at our family biz. He has some very important info on there that he can not afford to lose, and we have lost the backups somehow. Anyway, I don't know what the problem is. The computer powers on but does nothing. The monitor shows nothing, just a flashing green light. I have taken it apart and checked all the connections...everything seems fine. Here is my question. Can I take the hard drive out of this broken computer and put it in a different computer that I know works? If I do this, will everything on the hard drive be lost in the process? Thanks! more

Open Question: Ethernet is connected but internet doesn't work.?

I have an extremely old laptop (60 gb hard drive and 512 mb ram). I am at a university which has medium wifi internet but extremely fast ethernet. The ethernet cord is connected to the wall. The ethernet cord is not the problem because it worked fine when I plugged it in to my sister's computer. The "Local Area Connection" card is a Broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated controller. When I click "repair" it tells me that the ip address could not be renewed and that I should contact the network admin or ISP. However it is working fine of my sister's macbook. Thanks in advance. more

Open Question: Leo girl falling for Libra male, help?

Ok so I've known this Libra for about 3 years. We used to talk every day and had a really good connection...the problem was we lived far (about 30 miles) and neither of us drove back then so it was hard to maintain this relationship. According to him, I am the one who distanced myself and that further lead to no communication at all. Which was true because I fell in a long relationship with a Sagittarius...he was very hurt by this. Anyway, we have been talking again and A LOT, we see each other often, we text all day every day, and he calls me. He is SUCH A BIG FLIRT! So I had him come over the other day, and he started being really affectionate...we were hugging, and cuddling and just "couple-like" things you know? It just felt like and he knows how to touch a woman and sure turn her on. Although I did not feel like he was being pushy like other guys (trying to get in my pants) But he DID get a handful of everything... we haven't kissed yet. Now here's the catch...he has a girlfriend and has been with her for only a couple months. He said he regrets rejecting me back in the days (a reason why I moved on because he wasn't interested in relationships 3 yrs ago), and jokes about us getting married, and makes flirty comments about sex, and how good looking I am, etc. but I don't know. Should I fall for him and hope he leaves his current girlfriend for me? Or is he just being seductive and flirty...I've noticed he is starting to show small streaks of jealousy and has become very needy of me even with text messages...help! I don't want to get hurt I do like him a lot. I am: Sun: Leo Rising: Gemini Moon: Aquarius Mercury: Virgo Venus: Cancer Mars: Taurus He is: Sun: Libra Rising: Gemini Moon: Scorpio Mercury: Virgo Venus: Scorpio Mars: Libraits funny when people answer questions they absolutely have no interest in, YOU GET A FU**!NG life! more

Open Question: windows cannot open this file ".application" help?

Please help! my computer hard drive died and I had another one installed by a tech this morning. When I booted it up, it didn't have any of the sound (codecs?) needed to play music and stuff, so I went on my mom's computer and found the files.

Open Question: Boyfriend changed his mind on marriage?

I have been dating my bf for 4 years. About 2 years in we were on the same page about marriage and decided to buy a house together. Later we got 2 dogs. A year after living in the house my b/f told me that he is not ready for marriage and he feels bad but when we discussed it previously, he felt under pressure to say he wanted to get married in the next couple of years. I am incredibly hurt and no longer want to even entertain marriage with him. We have had additional problems throughout the years but have really tried to work on it and even have gone to counseling. He is trying to repair the relationship but I have disconnected myself. I cant seem to find that connection any more but our lives are so intertwined now with the house and animals I feel it would be really hard to leave. I love him but the spark is gone. Should I keep trying or move on?Additional details: I have currently had to leave my job to take care of my mother in a different state while she is battling stage 4 cancer. I also put my last 2 semesters of my masters degree on hold to take care of my mom. I can't move out because I can't afford to pay for an apartment there when I am not working and when I am here taking care of mom. I have no siblings and my dad has already passed. I am going back home periodically to get some hours in at work so I don't blow through all of my savings which was meant to be used to quite my job while I complete my internship. I feel very stuck and dependent.He provides some emotional support for my current situation with my mom. I feel selfish but I need this support from him through this tough time. I just wish we could do it as friends. more

Open Question: Cancer Male - Do i Wait, In the Hope of Things Changing?

I've known a cancer man for a while now. He's been in a relationship for 5 years. He said he's developed a love for her, but he doesn't feel he's ever been 'in love' and also, without being disrespectful to her, he said he doesn't believe she's 'the one'. We've texted all day everyday for 6 weeks. We talk on the phone everynight (sometimes all through the night), and we meet up almost everyday and talk, laugh, smile. We've become so close...(not physically). We look at each other and can't help smiling. We stay awake just so we can spend more time together. And we've developed such a strong, amazing bond. I'm aware that he could be 'cheating emotionally' on his partner. Last nigt we talked, and I explained that I don't play a significant part in his life...(I know his family well, as I used to work in a shop that they visited everyday). Nobody knows about the relationship that we have. I explained that being 'the other part of his life' will get to me after a while, and I'll walk away to avoid hurt. He hasn't ever said he's got feelings of that nature for me, but the way we are together, I'm pretty certain we could be falling in love. As he's a cancer, I know that they thrive on comfort, relationship comfort, family comfort, and it can be hard for them to break out of routine. He said his partner has noticed a change in him for the past couple of weeks. I asked if it was because of me, and he very unconvincingly said 'no'. She turns a little physco when they finish (as they have done previously), refusing to let him go, following him, crying, screaming, even seeking revenge!) We've got an emotional connection like I've never experience in my life.... I never thought of him as the sort of person to cheat in any way, and this isn't something that we ever imagined would happen. It crept upon us, and now we're just caught up in an emotional mess towards eachother. He said he can't imagine ever walking away from me. Should I wait (as we get emotionally closer every single day) and refuse to give up on something so amazing, or is it not worth my time in trying? Please help me :o( more

Open Question: How do I get over her?

Hi I have recently seperated with a girl who I got on with amazingly well. We both loved spending time with each other, hanging out etc. Great physically and felt a deep connection. The problem? she lived in Spain and me UK. Recently she had found the pressure of not seeing each other and then 'living' together too much and found is hard at times. She has told me she has met 'the father of her children' but she has so much she wants to do before she settles down. The fact that she couldn't give this one last thing to me upset her as she felt selfish and resented the fact I was very supportive and giving emotionally. Did I give too much 'heart'? Because of this we spoke about where she was at and I am at and even though we agreed that if anything was going to happen it would be a few years before one of us could move. So we (well her) decided to stop going out. We both agreed to still see each other here and there and until someone else came on the scene (both realistic - time has this power lol) we would still be physical if we felt it was right. My question is how to break this hold she has. If she had asked me to wait I would, I would have gone on, dating etc, but with the end goal in mind. But she didn;t and I can't help but feel I might be losing something amazingly good. (been through several longterm before, I'm 29, she's 24) I really feel a bond with her on every level, best friend, lover etc and want to know 1. what I should do and 2. how to break the hold without hating her. It upsets me just thinking of it. Any help would be super awesome. :) Mog more

Open Question: My dad's addiction has me really scared... what do I say to him?

This is more for me because I desperately need to get this off my chest, but any advice and/or personal experiences from readers might be comforting... The jist of it is; my dad smokes. He has for years. When I was younger, I had never thought anything of it. Did I know it was unhealthy? Of course! However, he never smoked around me, nor did he ever show all those scary and nasty side effects such as yellowed teeth, or smoker's cough. He quit about a year ago, but has recently picked up the habit again most likely as a result of all the stress he's been under as of late. And now all these years later, he's really starting to cough... he blames it on allergies, but I know better. And worse, so does he. I overheard him talking to one of his friends describing his addiction as a constant nagging: "You want one now..." "Go have one now..." "You NEED one..." At that point I realized I have the same problem... "Tell him to stop now..." "Go find them all now..." "Get rid of them while he's away..." "PLEASE make him stop..." I rummage through his coat pockets, I search that garage, his sock drawer, but he always keeps his smokes on his person... I can't let him do this to himself. I don't know what I'd do without him-- we're very close (and I know it's cliche, but he really understands me!). And my poor mother... her friends all live very far away and she has bad family connections. She'd be so broken without him, and there's nothing I would be able to do for her. I know it's ridiculous, but I have an incredibly hard time expressing my feelings; what can I say to this man so he can see how important he is to us and give him the strength to save him from himself?!I understand where you're coming from, Maya, drugs and alcohol and severely mess you up-- but you seen cross sections of smoker's lungs? Personally I don't want my father to put that stuff in his body. As you said, drugs and alcohol are very damaging, but there's no way you can refer to cigarettes.... as just cigarettes. more

Background info: My dog, Cosmo, is about 10 years old and pretty much a horse. He's a Great Dane/Shepard/Mastiff mix, and very mellow. No serious health problems in his past. For the last week, he gets up late at night (around 3-5) and tries to come into my bedroom. Normally, he sleeps in my parents' room, but he'll come out EVERY night until he gets my attention. I always come out, and he's dying to get in my room, but I don't let him (I don't like the dog fur in my room), so I'll sit outside in the hallway for a while with him. He pants like MAD. I don't understand, and I don't think he does it because he's too hot... true, my house gets sorta warm at night, but I always make sure he has a fan pointed towards him in my parents room before I go to bed. I'll bring him outside for a while (cool night air...), but he keeps panting hard. He'll follow me around everywhere except my parents' room. He doesn't try to go into any other room in the house, but he'll follow me anywhere once he gets me up. We have a very strong connection, and he's always very affectionate with me - moreso than with anyone else in the house, but I've noticed it's been to an extreme (he doesn't want to leave me) since he's been waking up late and panting. Does anybody have even the slightest inkling what could be going on? I'm really trying to feel him out and see if he's in pain or something, but I'm not getting anything... more

Open Question: What could a dream about an Ex mean?

We haven't dated in years, but met through a common interest..our youthgroup. He's absolutely without a doubt still very important to me and we've remained friends after meeting when we were 11. We dated when we were teens, and we're both still pretty young. A lot of drama has occurred recently. (within the past 3 months). He is now engaged to the only other girl he's dated besides me and his brother and friends hate her. He always still would check up on me every now and then and tell me that I was beautiful and that he wanted to make sure the guys I was talking to deserved me. I sent him an email a few months ago wishing him luck with her saying that I still cared and sometimes wondered what could have been, but that it was pointless to wonder. I told him I had great memories of him and was glad he was happy. He told me he had feelings for me when he first started dating her and wishes we could have had a better turnout. He said he had a connection to me even while they were dating & it was hard to block me out of his thoughts. I don't know what happened, but randomly he took me off of his friends on facebook. When I asked why, the response was "move On"...? It didn't and still doesn't add up. The last time I saw him, he tried to walk up to talk to me @ a dance and she kept following him so he'd turn away. Tonight I had a dream that we were at an event, with tons of people. I felt all alone and embarrassed because I had told him I still cared and here he was with her. He ignored me..then later he was in my family room with her. They were watching tv and I asked why he was there. He told me it was a free country, and I left the room. I went to the other side of my house and he was there soon after. He came to talk to me, but that's when I woke up. I still feel sad and alone. I know it's really lame, but any ideas of what it means? more

Open Question: Any advice on making money?

I'm a 16 year old guy trying to find a way to make some money LEGALLY despite the recession. I'm a hard working individual but I can't manage to even land a shit job (I literally applied to clean kennels and they wouldn't hire below 18). With no connections of any sort it seems as though there's no business that will hire me. What are some ways that someone in my position can make money? I've turned in more apps then i can keep track of so my chances of normal employment are bleak to say the least...=/ALSO, I come from a very poor single parent family that has filed bankruptcy. No bank accounts, no credit cards, no paypal (and therefore I believe no ebay. But I was looking for things more realistic like John J's idea, please no get rich schemes online. more

Resolved Question: May I have your opinions please?

I'm not sure I even really have a question. I'd like to just throw this out there and see what comments come of it. I have a co-worker, of which I am personally fond of, and who is in a lower position than I, which is how I know the information I'm about to share. We work for a mental health agency, that caters to foster children of all ages up to 18. About 15 of our 50 children are bussed into our office from their homes and/or school to attend a therapy-based day program. The co-worker I mentioned above, was one of the counselors for the day program, also responsible for the transport of the clients to and from the program. This co-worker (call him Al), had not always been a model employee but has been one of the strongest forces in the day program. He was tenured and has a very intimate connection with our clients and their families, as well as with the majority of the entire staff (25 people). His downfalls were that he did not always complete his paperwork in a timely manner, which can be detramental to billing, his driver's license was once suspended (he made no mention of this until it was required of all driving staff to submit their driving records), but informed his direct supervisor about it, who informed the program manager, who overreacted and damn near had a heart attack and pulled Al from his route. The issue was then ressolved two days later. Al is an older man with some pretty serious health issues. He was involved in a collision once in a company vehicle, but managed to stay out of the line of fire and just recently, about two months ago, accidentially put his vehicle in reverse instead of park as he assumed he had, and with the vehicle door ajar and him completely outside of the vehicle, the vehicle rolled backwards, destroying the door as it hit the other company vehicle parked next to it, causing damage to that vehicle as well, about $4500 worth of damages to both vehicles. He is a well respected employee, despite these things, because you can never ask him for his help and not get it, he takes money from his own pocket for the clients and he doesn't even get paid much. He will work 16 hour days if requested, and has been denied overtime in the past for doing what he'd been asked to do by other staff. The ckients adore him as he is somewhat considered the father figure in the program. The kids not only relate to him, they respect him, which is quite hard to earn in this business. Today, Al was fired. Al got fored because he was on a run (bussing clients) and pulled over by the police and taken away, in front of the clients. The program manager was notified and immediately fired Al. Al didn't kbow because he was at the police station. Before the end of the day, Al called to explain that the officer took him in for a warrent that they later determined was not for Al. The program manager wanted to know why Al was pulled over and Al said he didn't know. He was not issued a ticket, warning or anything. Later in the evening, Al's direct supervisor went to Al's home to pick up his office keys and cell phone. I was instructed to delete his email and login. His termination has been requested and will be completed tomorrow morning. The clients, their parents and the staff alike will all be devastated when they find out. Does this sound fair to you? The clients are going to have a fit when they find out. Is this normal procedure? We are in an "at-will" state, meaning that you can be fired without notice or reason, and you can quit without notice or reason. Thanks for your opinions.S - don't be a geek! everyone likes Al... more

Open Question: why are girls so hard to understand?

there is this girl that i have been friends with for over 4 years. ive had feelings for her practically since the first day of freshman year(4 years ago). we hang out a lot and have a lot of fun. there is always a connection between us whether it be something more than friends or maybe brotherly love. (which i can find out which it is). the thing that gets me is when we are alone and hanging out she acts cute and trys to get my attention sort of thing. but when we are with others she almost ignores me. not horribly but almost like she wants me to notice her and/or im not sure if its that she wants me to move in and act or she just doesnt care. idk. she said she wants to get an apartment with me after we get out of college. so thats a good thing i guess. anyways. i want to tell her i have feelings for her. but i dont like going into this blind. and im not gonna be immature and ask some1 to ask her what her feelings are for me. i am now 18. we both go to college in the fall. there will be a 4 hour distance between us. but can easily go visit her whenever. so if any1 has any ideas from what ive said about her and what i should do about this situation please help! i just wish it was easier to read girls and the way they play games! more

Open Question: I have a component receiver that when on radio cuts out like it is not getting a good connection. Help!?

This is a Sony system about 7- 10 years old. Very nice and works fine, but when I use the radio it acts as if it isn't getting a good connection. Now I go to ITT Tech so I kinda know what I'm goin "under the hood". I took it apart and besides for having to fix the display solder joints to get that brand new look instead of the wore dim faded thing the soldering looked fine around the green board that the FM/AM runs. I even attached several different antennas to the back and to the actually green board still popped and cracked in and out. This was about a 700.00 system several years ago and I don't want to replace it if it can be fixed. Thanks to those who will work hard and helped me solve this problem i love to learn so you will do more than help with this stereo. more

Resolved Question: Can you tell me which adapter I need for 3.5mm -> USB soundcard?

I have a 3.5mm headphone-type plug at the end of a normal desktop microphone. I want to be able to plug it into this: http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-Control-UCA202-Audio-Interface/dp/B000J0IIEQ which has two sets of two holes, an input and an output, each set containing one red and one yellow hole. I know this is a stupid question, but I really am having a hard time finding an adapter that will make this connection. Could I get a link or two? more

Open Question: UGHHH!! URGENT PLEASEEE ANSWEERRRR i've neevr felt so great and happy and beautiful!!!!?

i met this guy at the beach. when we met, i was currently involved with a guy i thought i was in love with. he was dating a girl that he'd been dating for 2 years. when we met, he told me " i realized there are better people out there who are caring and sweet, but they also know how to have fun, just like you" and he broke up with his girlfriend. i told him that how i felt for Matt and how i felt for him, there is such a huge difference. im constantly trying with matt, it's stressful and not fun. but when i'm with him, or talking to him, i feel like everything jsut comes and i feel happy and amzing nothing like i've ever felt before. we were just alike, and i really fell for him. i had never felt so comfortable with anyone in my life he was the first to tell me how much he liked me and he said some of the nicest, sweetest things i've ever heard. we live 9 hrs away from each other, but we've been texting everyday, allday, from9 am til 1am for the last five days yesterday while we were txting i got a txt that said this.... "from the looks of it if i asked you out right now you would say yes, and i guess it's pretty obvious that i like you too and i would love to date you its just i dont think itsd a good idea. bc we live so far apart i m ean its ok to be friends now heck maybe when we ge tout of school then we could or soemthing its just right now its not b/c how far away we are from each other im sorry i really like u i just don't think it would work right now." i feel like i'm going to throw up. i knew that was what probably would have happened, but it was so hard hearing it, i broke down in tears. i never cry, EVER. i've had breakups and spills and i got mad, that's it. i said that i could understand and i still wanted to talk to him and all. he said of course we'd talk, itll just be the same. but i don't know what to do... i've never felt so awful in my life. we are just alike and he's a sweetheart and we can and have talked about anything, conversations just come out so fluently he texted me this morning and toldme as soon as he woke up like always, and now we are talking and will prolly talk all day, like normal. last night i told him that i still feel awful but i guess that will pass over time. he said well i don't want it to. and i said it doesn't have to. then i said i had to go to sleep so i'd ttyl. what would you do? i feel a connection to him, i think he's my soul mate, not to sound corny or anyhting. i mean, ppl make it thru long distance relationships! do you think he's upset? i think he said it but he didn't mean it, b/c he still acts like he loves me...i just don't know what to do next... more
