  • What foods should I eat?

    I am 17 years old and I am going to Marine boot camp on June 28, 2010. I am trying to run 3 miles in less then 20 minutes and do 20 pull ups. I can do 14 pull ups right now. I am currently training. I already run/power walk for 45 minutes everyday and I am lifting weights. I am trying to eat better, but I notice that it is really hard to do. Everywhere I look, there are fatty foods. Even where I work (I work in a hospital), there is only fatty, fried foods. They have salads, but they cost $6 for one. For dinner, I eat a plate of salad (no dressing) with chicken. I also eat a lot of fruit such as peaches (not canned), apples, bananas and strawberries. I also eat protein bars. I eat Power Bars and Pure Protein bars. I also drink 3 bottles of water everyday. Now that you know what I want and what I already do, can you suggest what I can eat so that I can meet my goals. What can I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I want to start drinking whey protein shakes. What brand of whey protein should I buy and what should I add to the shake?

    I have also stopped eat fast food, fried food, chips, anything with lots of sugar and stopped drinking soda.

    I also like to eat light fat free Yopait yogurt, is that bad?

    Please don't tell me to not join the military or give my vague answers such as protein, I want to know kinds of foods.

  • My Teacher plays favorites?

    My Spanish teacher plays favorites. She has a group of students that she loves and another group of kids she hates. I am not the only one who thinks this. Everyone I talk to about this knows she plays favorites too. I have the class 1st in the morning. I am never late, but some people are. So one day one of my friends comes late and one of her favorites come late. She says she wont count the tardy for her favorite, but makes my friend scrape gum from under the desk. She also blames the students when they don't do well on a test when most of here lessons are 5 minutes long (no joke) and then makes us do busy work. If we ask for help during class, all she tells us to ask our partner, but most of the time my partner doesn't know what to do either. If we ask someone else she yells at us for talking. For some reason, she doesn't do this to her favorites though.

    She is also a racist. She loves Hispanics. She always gives them the benefit of the doubt when they are obviously cheating, but accuses me of cheating when I pick up my pencil I accidentally dropped (Asian btw). It is also not just me.

    One more thing while I'm at it, she blames me for failing a test when her lessons are 5 minutes long. Even when I ask for help at lunch or break, she says that I wasn't paying attention in class.

    This is all bull because if I can get A's in every subject, except Spanish, I don't think it's my fault. Oh yeah, I got a 79.93 % last semester, but she didn't just raise it to the B. All A's and a C.

    All my friends think that I am overreacting. That is because they don't have her. Is she a ***** or what?

  • Should Illegal Immigrants be allowed to stay in this country?

    I see a lot of questions here about how the illegal immigrants hurt our economy, steal jobs, destroy this country, etc. I also see a lot of people defending the illegal immigrants. The people saying that the illegal immigrants hurt this country obviously don't want the illegals in this country, but what about the people defending them. Do you think that illegals should be allowed to stay in this country?

    If you are talking about immigrants in general, please don't answer. This is about illegal immigrants only. Also please specify if you are one of those people who defend the immigrants.

  • Virus on my old hard drive?

    I am getting a new computer because my old one wont work anymore. I want to put the old hard drive into he new computer as a slave hard drive, but my old hard drive has a virus.

  • Restoring Files After Reinstalling Windows XP?

    I had a virus which made it so that when I log onto to my account, I would automatically log out. I got rid of the virus, but it deleted something on my windows, I reinstalled my windows, but it still won't work. I decided just to get a new hard drive, but I heard that when I reinstalled my windows, my files are deleted. I want to check if they really are deleted because the reinstalled didn't bring back the file that was deleted so maybe the reinstall didn't work. But if my files were deleted, can I get them back? If I take it to geek squad, can they get them back?

    Thank you.

  • Rebooting Windows XP with disk?

    My dad's friend gave me a computer that was only 6 months old. I have been using it for a couple of years now. It has windows xp pro, but today I got a virus, I was able to get rid of the virus, but I had to restart my computer. When it finished restarting and I tried to log in, it automatically log out by itself. I thought it was a virus that might still be on my computer, but it is unlikely. I scanned with 3 different anti virus and malware programs and they got rid of it for sure. After some research on the internet, I figure that the virus messed up my Windows. Since I got the computer from someone else, I didn't have the original Windows CD, but the guy made me a copy. So I used the copy and now I have to put in the Certificate of Authenticity which I don't have. Sinse i already set up the Windows, it doesn't log out by itself anymore, so I know that was the problem, but now I have another one. How do I get the Certificate of Authenticity? My dad's friend moved and I can not get the original CD from him. Is there another way to get the Certificate of Authenticity or should I go out and buy a new XP CD. Or should I just get Vista?

    If I update the windows, will all my files on computer go away?

  • I have spyware and adware?

    I keep getting pop ups after downloading mix tape. The pop ups are mostly ads and an alert saying my computer is infected by spyware and adware. My security system keeps getting disabled too and I am not doing it. I want to restore my computer to Dec 26, but I can only restore to Dec 27 which is when my computer started to get pop ups. Only Dec 27 and Dec 28 are bold allow me to press on them. I have made a restore point on Dec 27, but stil can't restore to Dec 26. How do I make it so I can restore to Dec 26? I have also done a full scan with my McAfee security, but it doesn't find anything. I have also deleted the mix tape I downloaded, but I still get pop ups. How do I get rid of them? Should I just buy a program to get rid of spyware and adware? What should I buy? Also why
