1 AnswerPhysics6 years agoHow can I delete this Tumblr post?
I've just deleted all the posts from my blog but there's one post (a link) that won't delete because it's an 'invalid url' (it starts with "ahttp://")./
I can't edit the post because it won't let me save it either. It's just stuck there. And I reeeeeeally need it gone or at least hidden, but it won't even let me save it privately. I've tried using mass editor to delete it and doing it from my dash. So if anyone knows another way or a script or something I can use, I'd be really grateful.

2 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agoHow Do Protestants Celebrate Ash Wednesday?
Catholics have the sign of the cross marked on their forehead in ash. Do Protestants do the same or have a different type of ceremony?

3 AnswersGambling1 decade agoHow can I improve my sex drive?
I'm on the contraceptive pill which I've had trouble with in the past so I've had to be put on an estrogen one, I really don't want to change it but because I'm having extra estrogen I've completely lost my sex drive. I mean completely.
I used to love it even more than my boyfriend and I used to have the problem that he wasn't in the mood enough but now I can't do it at all. When he tries I cringe and change the subject. The last time I did it I felt awful and uncomfortable and it's not him at all I love him to pieces and this problem only happened since I've come on this pill.
I think this is the fifth or sixth pill I've tried and I really don't want to have to change again because it messes my body up a bit but I'm really irritating myself, I used to really enjoy it but now it seems like a chore, how can I improve it again?
6 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoPeople in Relationships Over Two Years - Help!?
I'm going through something very strange, me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years and 2 months and I love him to pieces I know that I need him because we make each other happy and fit together so perfectly I really couldn't be without him and I'm sure you know how I feel.
I was going to answer a question on here about whether someones boyfriend should move to Hawaii for 8 months to make some money and I shocked myself because I really didn't know how to answer. I've never ever been able to handle long-term relationships and the thought of my boyfriend going away anywhere would greatly upset me and he was the same.
But I couldn't answer because now... it wouldn't bother me so much. He's gone down to Kent to see his family and I'm up in the North West and I'm traveling down to spend a week there on the 29th but I'm not moping around and missing him like I used to do and I think he might be the same. I don't really mind. Sometimes I think this is good because the relationship is getting more serious and we need to be able to cope without each other but it's also quite sad that the excitement and everything is changing.
Is this normal after two years? How would everyone else feel? Just wanted some advice, I don't know anyone in my situation besides relatives that have been married for years...

2 AnswersYouTube1 decade agoSims 2 "propose" option missing....?
I have the base game and uni expansion installed and my sim has three days left before becoming an elder, he had a girlfriend that he got engaged to in uni but hadn't married and she has been over before and the propose option to "move in" or "stay the night" was there but now the propose option doesn't appear, does anyone know why this could be? Their relationship is 100 for both...
It's made my sim unplayable because I wanted her moved in before he was an elder (I'm doing a challenge that doesn't allow the elixir of life) so any help would be appreciated!

1 AnswerOther - Internet1 decade agoWhy does my laptop do things on its own?
I just bought a new laptop a week ago and it seems to have a mind of its own, I was doing something on it that I didn't want to close so at night I just shut the lid, then at about two o'clock in the morning it started making the window's noises and it has happened more than once. I ignored it but it just did something really creepy...
I was installing a game and was about to register it online but when the internet window came up a song started playing by itself. When I opened itunes and WMP to play different songs they played over it so it wasn't coming from them. I went on the task manager and it said nothing was happening. After I closed the internet window, it played to the end of the song and then stopped... any ideas?
6 AnswersOther - Computers1 decade agoProblems with the Sims 2 and Vista Patch?
I downloaded the patch off the sims website and it said to save it to disk so I did, (it saved as a .zip file and I'm using winRAR which works with those files) when choosing where to save it I just saved it to the disk without putting it in a folder. It then said to run it and install but when I try to open it I just get the files, there is no "setup" file on it and I can't move or delete it because the disk is "read only".
Does anyone know what I could do?
Oh, when I try to play the game it just says "unexpected error" and won't run. I tried removing and reinserting the disk but the patch is still on it.

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games1 decade agoGod loves his children... but kills them when he's not happy?
Ok, so, I don't believe in God for the following reasons.
A) God, to me, seems terrifying. He killed loads of people in a flood. Why?
B) Does he get his followers through fear? If you don't believe in him then you end up in hell... why would he do that?
C) Say the bible was still being written, I'm sure the hollocaust would undoubtably be in it. Jews believe in God but not Jesus so did he allow Hitler to kill all the Jews because they didn't believe in his son? Jews follow him anyway...
So God is actually quite terrifying if, when you do something he doesn't like or you "don't believe" he kills you or sends you to hell (or both).
What sort of father is that, that "loves all his children"? If he loves ALL his children, why does he kill so many?
Isn't "thou shalt not kill" on of the 10 commandments?
Why should I have "faith"? He's either hypocritical or actually quite evil...
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWorld of warcraft - paying?
Ok, I have three questions...
1. My brother already has the installation disc, can I use that or do I need to buy another game?
2. When you buy (for sake of arguement) 60-day time cards are they worth 60 days worth of gameplay or just from day one to day 60 (like if you went on holiday for a week after buying one would you have wasted the first 7 days?)
3. Can you use a credit card on your first time after installing the game or is it better to buy a time card?
Thanks for your help
