I came here to answer computer questions. (This used to say "...and nothing more.")


What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

I managed to recover my Solidadvice4teens account when you reminded me of the livetolove2009@live.ca account. I logged into that email account with the last password I remembered and reset my password for Advicenators. I'll use this one and not use the other Solidadvice2021 one.

I have had a number of dogs over the years ranging from a beagle/lab who was big named Pepper and two smaller dogs Sandy and Max who are pug crosses one a Jack Russell/Pug and the other a Pug/Shih Tzu.

I don't remember the incident about what they used to do when they went out. I think the smaller dog has urinated on the bigger dog before. It's been 15 years since I got them and the bigger one is dead.

I don't have a Yahoo account. I had hotmail of which I cannot access with the 2005@hotmail.com address of which you mentioned. That should be what you need to blend both accounts together but I'm fine with sticking to solidadvice4teens now that I figured out my password again. (link)
I am glad you were able to get in on your old e-Mail. You are all good on the proof, since you were sending this from your original account. :-)

However, just for fun, here are the questions I pulled those questions from: The yahoo account you don't have:

... and the dog incident:

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=545391

I figured if I went back that far, only you would know. ;-)

If all goes well, your accounts will be merged by the time you read this.

Thanks for all your help over the years!


Hey there,

I'm actually Solidadvice4teens and have been registered since 2006 and contribute advive frequently. When I was using ZOOM for an online class two weeks ago my MacBook had a complete meltdown forcing me to have Apple tech support help me to downgrade from Big Sur to the previous operating system which fixed the problem.

In the process nothing including saved passwords for this site and others were kept. I cannot tell you what email account I had back then and registered under nor the login details.

How can I show you that I'm the same person? Can both Solidadvice4teens and Solidadvice2021 be merged somehow? (link)
Hi there,

I am very sorry for your tech troubles! It is heartbreaking when you think about all the digital things you could lose access to.

You are important to this site, and to me personally, and we will make this happen. I doubt someone with an identical writing style would show up and try to get me to do this... But, for legal reasons, we need to do what we can to prove you are you. Here is my solution:

You had a yahoo account: g****r*****s2005

Reply in a new question with that, and the following:

Once upon a time you had two dogs... every time they went out to do their business one of them would come back in in a certain state. You eventually watched them go out and found out why that was happening. Also, they were both mixed breed dogs, one big, one little.

What breeds were they, and what was happening to the one when they went out.

Also, if it helps, the e-mail address on your SA4T account is: livetolove2009(you should know the rest).ca if you still have access to that.

I look forward to your response.

Due to pain in my side, I am scheduled for a colonoscopy in a few days from now. Because this is a medical procedure where anesthesia is used, the hospital requires that I have an escort (PLATONIC. Don't get the wrong idea!) to make sure that I get home after it's all done. (S/He doesn't necessarily have to drive if I'm awake enough.) I do not know all the details but apparently it's a legal matter for the hospital...the escorting person may or may not have to sign a form. An Uber driver or cab driver does not qualify; this has to be someone I know. The problem is this: I don't know anyone in my area nearly well enough.

My basic character (& certain previous experiences) has led me to a mostly solitary life. I don't need or want lots of company around, etc. The drawback is in situations like this, I have no one to ask. I have very few friends & none of them are particularly close.

This procedure is scheduled for the 7th of next month. Right now it's June 26th. I could reschedule the procedure but gut conditions can be serious, so I do not want to put it off. How do I find someone who can or will do this? (link)
Hi there,

I'm very sorry for your troubles. There are a number of ways to approach this, and I would like to share something that happened to me. Long story short, I moved to a new town with my now ex, and some time after moving there I was injured and had to have surgery. She left and I was in need of help, but had no family there. My elderly neighbor wasn't able to help, but suggested I contact a local church. I did, and while not all churches are equal, I did get the help I needed, and made some friendships that are ongoing all these years later.

Now, how do you find a church with caring people? Well, caring people are already busy caring for others: Call around and find out who runs a food pantry or clothing closet. Who has a prison ministry, who visits seniors in retirement homes, who visits the sick in hospitals... and I assure you, you will find a complete stranger that will help you.

I know this isn't ideal, because you need someone WITH you, but I would also mention, most areas have a medical shuttle. Even in towns as small as 1500 people I have seen shuttle services for doctor's visits.

In Billings Montana just for example:

https://www.allianceyc.org/programs/transportation/

And you can find things like this with the following search:

only search advicenators.com


For someone that will go WITH you and help you, reaching out to a local church with an active community help program is most certainly your best bet.

You will be really surprised.

Good luck to you!


so I'm in middle school and my dad recently gave me his old mp3 player and I figured out how to download songs on it. I was going through it one day when I saw a video and I was wondering if anyone knows how to download a video on an mp3 player. does it go in a different folder or something? I couldn't find much info elsewhere so I just came here as a last resort. **btw I've posted this before but the only people that replied were trolls and it got buried in the rest of the questions.**

Hi there,

The spammer has been dealt with, and your other question is still visible. If you post the model number and brand of your player, we could help you better. I will delete your other question. Please re-post with the make and model of your player, and we will figure this out.

Thanks!


Why is the HR Software considered to be more powerful than the other resources? (link)
Hi there,

In what way do you mean that HR is considered more powerful? Would you be more specific?

Thank you.


I’m a brand new freshman in Hs and corona has stopped us from being in person. So we are on zoom all day. In my art class there’s a Junior. His name is Prince and he’s extremely cute. But I can’t talk to him because I have no idea how to look him up on social media or chat with him while on zoom without everyone seeing my business. Homecoming is coming up and I want to go with him though I don’t know how to ask when we aren’t in person nor have met face to face. I’m really stuck. And I know a little bit about him. The more and more I learn the more I like this guy. Please help me :(. Thanks so much. (link)
Hi there,

In case you lost track of it you already asked this here:

I MISPLACED THE CHARGER CORD FOR MY SHARK ROCKET CORDLESS PRO VACUUM AND I JUST BOUGHT IT. THE CHARGERS ON THE SHARK WEBSITE ARE OUT OF STOCK AND BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC THE CHARGERS WILL BE RESTOCKED IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. CAN I USE ANOTHER BRAND CHARGER?

1900mAh / 21.6V (link)
Hi there,

Yes, you can use another brand as long as the specs are compatible. Remember to check the replacement charger's output type AC or DC.

A couple notes: If you find a charger that is a volt or so higher, that should be fine. You don't want to go 5 volts higher. You don't want to go any lower with the voltage.

A note on amperage: If you get a charger with marginally lower output, say 1700mah instead of 1900mah, it will just take a bit longer to charge, but no problems will occur. You can go higher on the amperage, which will cause no problems since the device will only draw as much as it needs.

The only guarantee in all of this: You will find the charger you lost... within 24 hours of finding a replacement. :-)

All the best to you in this crazy time.


Hello I made a payment for my account and still I didn't get a gold star in order to change my name. I re-registered so that I could give advise.
please help. (link)
Hi there,

Could you please send your usernames to me here:

http://www.advicenators.com/question.php?u=16820&headly=1

I am on the road staying in motels, sorry for the delay. Please also let me know why you re-registered, and of your two accounts which one you would like to use, going forward.

Thanks,

DN.


Long time no see you on the site. You still driving train people around? (link)
Hello there,

I am in Montana taking care of my mother's funeral, and helping my Dad survive this also.

It was unexpected, and I am not having it very well.

I will be back on the site soon. Thank you for your concern and if you are a prayerful person, your prayers.

I asked the creator to delete my account and he hasn’t gotten back to me. For the love of fuck, do not make an account here. your information will be on here forever and never taken down.
Please delete my account and information if anyone who can do that is reading this. i want my name off this dumbass site (link)
Hello there,

I am in another state burying my mother who died unexpectedly. I hope you will understand why your account isn't my priority right now.

Thank you for your patience.


DangerNerd;

Hows it going, are you managing to get any rest. Sorry to bother you but I seem to have lost the ability to see former questions. I'm not getting any ad's so I'm not sure what's wrong. Do I need to send you money.

Adviceman49 (link)
Howdy,

Another year gone by.

Thanks for letting me know. Your account has been upgraded. Keep your money, you do enough around here. :-)

Thanks,

DN.


Hi, I used to have an account on here but when I go to log in, I don't remember the password. Anyhow, I can still see my old column... but can you not access it after so long? I've tried to send the password using the old username & email but it's a no go... I haven't been on it for over a year, so is it forever inaccessible?

I thought it might be worth asking :/ thanks (link)
Please drop a question in my inbox with the new username and the old, and as soon as I have a chance I will look into it.

Thanks,

DN.


My wife and I have a great marriage. She and I have another male/female couple that we have regualr sex with. I currently make love to my male friend about four times a month. My wife and my male lover's wife would like us guys to have sex more often, they mentioned having sex about 15-20 nights per month. Is is a good idea? (link)
You have already asked this question here:

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=663534

... and here:

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=663513

It has been answered with a great deal of thought and effort.

Please read the advice you have been given.

Thanks,

DN.



Please update this if after that month you came with the images ever again. (link)
I have no idea what you are talking about. Please ask a new question and paste in the link of the question you wish an update on.

Thank you,

DN.


I mean I don't know you personally, but from the answer to the users question, I have concurred that you have some issues. I see no reason as to how this persons question affects you in any physical way? Unless of course you do in fact know this person and are being uncourtly an ass-hat to them. Anyway get a life and move on with it. Sincerely, a stranger (link)
I doubt this was meant for me. Please forward a link to the offending answer in another question directly to me, and I will deal with the issue.

Thanks.


Dangernerd in a private question to me headed "BLEACH" I've been asked how much bleach does it take to kill a person and then gives the description of the person. If there's any way to alert the Police to this person I think we should. I want to reject the question until I hear from you

Adviceman49 (link)
There isn't a way right now. Please look at her other questions. She asked about being able to find a mental hospital. She aims to kill herself, please respond to both questions accordingly if you can.

Thank you!


I've tried all that stuff. I can't even get into my computer!
What do you suggest? (link)
If you can't get into your computer, there is nothing else you can do. You will need to take it in for service. The technician will have tools to handle this.

I wish there was something else you could do on your own, but the next step is fairly technical.

Good luck to you!

I was on my pc this morning when a porno page popped up and a prompt saying I need to call a number and pay $100. I didn't pay it and all the advice on the Internet didn't help. Is there a cd/dvd virus removal I can buy? (link)
Hi there,

You may not need to go that far. It is possible that a web page you visited is corrupted, and has taken over your browser.

There may not be anything actually ON your computer, unless you clicked and said it was ok to install new software about the time this showed up.

Here is your first step: Press ctrl-alt-delete at the same time, and open task manager. Your should see your web browser in the list of tasks.

Select the web browser, and then click End Task.

Restart your browser, and when it comes up and asks you if you want to restore your previous session... SAY NO!

If you have your browser set to open the tabs and windows you had open before you closed it, things get more complicated.

In most cases lately, what I described should be all you need.

No matter WHAT... Do NOT ever... EVER call those numbers or pay them anything. It is a scam 100% of the time.

Please let me know in feedback, how you make out.

Also, when you are done, please install the free version of MalwareBytes, or SuperAntiSpyware and run a complete scan of your computer to remove anything else that may be hanging around.

All the best,

DN.
