thedude's Advice

  • should kids be able to watch, desperate housewives
    It's really up to the parents...for me, I'd say 13 or older.

  • Home remedy for 1 month old breathing
    Also...make sure you talk to the pediatrician and or advice nurse, as if the condition lasts too long, OR there are details you didn't include here, you may need professional medical help (as we're not a substitute for professional advice).

  • Stuff every one should know ?
    Ok, here's a more concrete example: The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the constitution. Should you know it? Nope. Do you think it makes any sense to you? Again, it should not. But, as an American...I'd be appalled if most people didn'...

  • Sending cigarettes in the mail. (100.00%)
    I'd probably phone the postal service and ask...as if it's *not* and you do, (or your parents do) it could be a federal crime.

  • Tired of Bad Economy? (100.00%)
    3 billion debt...weird number. Are you talking about solving public debt, or private debt? Or the trade deficit? Seemingly, you're talking about the trade deficit...fun fact: the US number #1 export is hollywood, in terms of dollar value to the econ...

  • MMA jabs,cross,hooks make them stronger?
    Push ups, pull ups, bench press, etc. Focus on building strength, not mass, as muscle mass is useless in that context. Also...if the only thing you're practicing is kickboxing, you're not doing MMA, you're practicing kickboxing. Have you seen any MM...

  • Have you seen the movie 'Idiocracy'?
    Funny movie. And yes, now that I've been living abroad for about three months...the one thing I don't miss about some parts of the US is the (seemingly) glorification of ignorance. Extremely crude, the movie was...but very funny.

  • How long do your headphones last and what kind do you use?
    I don't use them, but, my wife swears by the bose noise cancellation headphones...for cars, planes, trips, etc...they are the best, from what she's said.

  • Friend count lowering?
    Short answer? Yes.

  • How can I get photobooth??
    If you have the last ~3 version of the mac operating system (tiger, leopard, snow leopard) you'll have photo booth installed by default.

  • Why is my email not being verified?
    The "thanks for signing up" page had pretty clear instructions...after you entered your info, did you follow those steps? If so and they didn't work, use the "contact us" link in the bottom of the page and we'll walk you through it.

  • Stuff every one should know ?
    It's called "the education system"...and, people are always debating on what the "cannon" of knowledge should (or shouldn't) be, it also depends on where you are from. According to your location information on our site, you're not from the US...so, I d...

  • My daughter is in 5th grade an running for historian.. Please help
    Try reading the ideas in some of the related questions, like this one: http://www.funadvice.com/q/student_council_slogan_5th_grader as we've had similar questions a few dozen times. Good luck on the campaign!

  • whats do the colors mean on the Peru Flag?
    According to Wikipedia: ccording to Peruvian author Abraham Valdelomar, San Martín, having arrived on the coast of southern Pisco, was inspired by the colors of parihuanas, red-and-white flamingos. Historians of the early Peruvian Republic, such as Le...

  • Why have they been called this???
    >We all have diff beliefs Sigh...you've learned zero from this question, haven't you? I'm not spouting belief - none of us are. Look...if you had any brains OR new of what you speak about the economy (or even stood up for your supposed Republica...

  • Why have they been called this???
    Obama is doing to the economy. Wrong. So very, very wrong. You do remember Bush gave out money...with no trace of where it went? Right before he left office? The single largest transfer of wealth in American history, from the working class to the...

  • Why have they been called this??? (100.00%)
    You're young, so perhaps you have yet to hear (or read) this one: "It's far better to be thought ignorant than to open your mouth and confirm it as fact.". You noticed already that somebody took your previous question, mashed together YOUR thought pro...

  • Can find clothing for thick woman,what shoud I do?
    Lane bryant? If that store exists near you, they cater to (I think) size 12+.

  • Why don't white people interact with a black person in a group?
    Never experienced that myself...but, I looked at your profile, and you're from Louisiana...it's really hard to generalize behaviors across the US...as you get very different people in Oregon & California, or New York, so, I can only imagine people are ...

  • What countries or states are you guys from...?
    You'll never get even 100 answers to a question like this ;) http://www.funadvice.com/members If you browse there, we list the countries we have the most members from, and you can search for people in a specific area. About 70% of all members ar...

  • Somebody control my pc how can I stop it?
    Disconnect your computer from the internet NOW if you suspect something is wrong. Then using a CD, install spybot, some anti virus software, etc.

  • advise on starting a Motorcycle Club
    http://www.funadvice.com/q/motorcycle_club_330861 http://www.funadvice.com/q/re_starting_up_a_motorcycle_club I'd start there (one has a few good links), you might also put up fliers at bike repair shops, etc.

  • Is Web Directory Submission useful for Website promotions
    Sure, inbound links are a key part of web promotion...but, they're a part of it :) Ideally, if you get a link to your site, it's from a site that gets used...generally speaking most directories I've seen don't get much (if any) usage.

  • the right laptop for a ten year old
    We got our kids (7 & 8 both boys) macbooks, they're more expensive than PC's, but, the family filter is WAY better...imho, peace of mind is priceless.

  • Why don't that many people get on here like they used to?
    A lot of answers is actually a bad thing...what you want is: a good answer. Isn't that part of the reason you'd use the site? I know that's a lot of the enjoyment I get...not from getting a huge list of answers. As for traffic, yes, we're down from ...

  • Dose america have 50 states or 51?
    Fifty...if you were from the US, it'd be silly not to know it...but, I don't know how many countries are in the European Union, so it's perfectly fair.

  • Mail on a mac???
    Yes, you can login to live webmail on a mac.

  • Is the muslim religion from islam still believed in to this day?
    Lemme put this another way: Do people still follow Catholicism? Yep. Do people still follow Judaism? Yep. Do people still follow (insert ancient religion here...) Yep. Do people still follow LDS? Yep. And that's not even ancient ;)

  • Is the muslim religion from islam still believed in to this day?
    And...why wouldn't it be?

  • Do you think harvard would accept me if I improve?
    You do realize that you can contact the school? Get statistics on their average inbound GPA? Ask them about what criteria they give preference to (eg, people who have family that went there, etc)? And, at you age (freshman in high school, right?) yo...

  • I lost custody to a deceased parent, how can I get it back?
    Yep, in California, at least, even if you're getting arrested in the *middle* of the custody battle, you wouldn't lose as the mom, you'd get joint custody at least.

  • convert a file that is saved in Windows Movie Maker

  • Rip kanye west I hear kanye west died
    Seemingly, it's just a rumor floating around that kanye west died. Would be a shame if he did. Love him or hate him, Kanye's had an amazing impact on Music & culture in a very short time period.

  • My questions dontget posted ???
    If you feel you need to write a whole page or more to explain...odds are, you'll get lousy advice. Thing is, shorter questions are (generally) better, at most a paragraph or three, in order to treat the other person's time with respect that has to read...

  • Is there is anyone here older than 15?

  • Funmail questionnn
    So, we should make it easy for people to exploit the system? About 25% of the messages I get which are copied to more than one member, today, are spam. This results in the sender getting their account deleted of course, etc. But it still makes for a...

    Extremeism is never a good thing...unfortunately, with other nations making progressive strides, it seems that a number of Americans are thoroughly confused and or ignorant about the rampant fundamentalism in our own country. One hopes that eventual...

    Anytime, really. Just make sure you shower first, shave and haven't done anything wrong (like just finished making a pass at their friend, or similar).
