  • Connection issues?

    Hey, just needed a quick piece of advice. My access point's connection in my room keeps dropping every 5 minutes. A technician came and told me that I needed to change my main router downstairs to something else. What worries me is that it might not solve the problem because upstairs my dad has another access point and he never has problems with the internet. So do I need to change my router or nah? Our access points are Linksys WAP610N and the main router is an E1000. We're getting a Dlink 686 to replace our main router, but again I have doubts that this will fix my connectivity issues.

  • Does my Ex miss me or not?

    A month ago almost, my girlfriend broke up with me cause had feelings for her ex and whatnot. So anyway I spend most of my time moving on, trying to forget her and it works bit by bit. This one day I go to a party and she happens to be there but I pay no attention to it. Now I end up having sex with a random chick and we'd been in the bathroom so long that everyone knew we had sex (Wasn't trying to make my ex jealous, just hooked up with a chick cause why not.). So I go out and I see her and she doesn't seem phased at all, this relieves me because I did not intend to make her feel bad or anything.

    Well the next morning, my app tells me she deleted me off snapchat and twitter (Two social medias we used to always talk on)but kept following me on Instagram. Now I'm worried because I didn't intend to piss her off so I ask a friend and he says she's probably jealous and pissed at the same time.

    Anyway next day I see her at a concert with her first Ex and they're arguing. (I reckon it's because he decided to move on). Like I said, I pay no attention to it. Now this friday I tweeted something about an emotional moment in a movie and she favorited it.

    This sorta makes me wonder if she's been stalking me because she doesn't follow me on twitter, so she had to go and search for my profile and favorite the tweet.

    Do you guys think she misses me or not, and how do you interpret this? Is she trying to get me to talk to her?

  • Should I play adult rugby or wait another year?

    I've been playing under 16's rugby and this 2014 I go up an age group into Under 18's rugby. Recently there has been a mens rugby league team and because I love league I asked if there was one for us juniors and they said no, but stated I could play with them. Now to be honest I don't know if I'm big enough or posses the skills. I'm 16, 1 meter 77, weighing 75 kilograms, play fullback.

    I want your opinion guys on weather I should join the men's team or just wait a bit longer. I really want to but I don't think I'll cut it. Or should I at least try? I don't have a fear of tackling people or anything its just that the people in mens teams are big blokes.

    Reason I'm considering joining is because some of my mates who are 18 joined and play and I'm not any smaller than they are. What do you guys think? Join or wait?

  • Have you ever met a stranger, who you never saw again, that you still think about on occasion?

    I recently went to a Rolling Stones concert and while I was walking through the crowd and everything I stepped on something which belonged to a woman. I of course apologized, saying I'm extremely sorry and everything. She replied by saying its okay and then asked where I was from, I replied stating my nationality and then she said: "You're so sweet." She winked and smiled, and yeah I smiled back then made my way to my mates.

    A few years ago when I was a boy I met a cool dude on a flight who used to race cars and used to tell me stories of him winning cups and his best moments.

    I dunno about you guys but I wish I could just meet these people again. It can be an exchange had in passing, a quick conversation with someone at a party, or a deep talk with someone in a bar. If there was ever a stranger that left such an impact that you still think of them, please share! Also what do you think the chances of seeing them again are.

  • How long does it take for Amazon to deliver their goods?

    I was wondering how long it would take for amazon to deliver their items because I ordered a PS3 game from Amazon.co.uk on the 10th of January and paid for shipping and it still did not arrive (Today being the 26th). Reason I can't track the shipment is because someone else bought it for me with their own account. I'm not rushing to get it or anything just curious on how long it takes to arrive. I reckon it was dispatched on the 17th of Jan or before.

    PS: I live in the UAE, in the middle east. Also I doubt customs will hold it because its a rugby game so they'll let it through no doubt.

  • Im thinking of switching to rugby league, what position would I be?

    I've been playing union for 3 years now at the Fullback position. Would fullback still suit me in league? I catch well, I can do those big last minute try saving tackles, my kicking is decently good and I've got vision.

  • Why is school so utterly boring, depressing and dull? What can I do?

    School is so dull for me, I dread it every day of my life and I go to a French school so I have to deal with Frogs every single day. I've felt this way since I was in nursery up to Highschool. School has always felt like prison to me, I spend 180 out of 365 days in it each year and will continue to do so for another 2-3 years (If i dont get held back but seeing I'm not a great student most likely will). Not to mention my parents WANT me to go to university so thats like another 4+ years of more schooling, but they tell me Uni is different and its going to be an experience but seeing the amount of college students that suffer everyday especially with finals just makes me dread uni even more.

    Out of my 12 waking hours I spend approximately 9 hours and 20 minutes of them in class, it feels like torture. I am only interested in one of the nine classes I have to take, and even my interest in that is minimal, and given the opportunity I would opt out of participation in it, and any other classes I take.

    My teachers are a nightmare day in day out, with each one ramming homework down our throats. My french teacher for instance thinks he's the ONLY teacher out there so he takes the liberty to give us so much work that I can't even imagine finishing it. My math teacher is a guy with a noble heart who just loves his subject so much, but he's just so boring in class that I struggle to keep my eyes open. English being probably the only subject where I ace it with minimal effort is utterly boring and useless that if I don't attend the lesson during the whole year my Grade point average in it wouldn't change. I could go on forever with this about my teachers...

    Then of course, I finish at 5 PM (Start at 7) so thats like 9-10 hours in class, well 8 because we've got a break. But I come back at 5 and I do rugby you see to relieve my stress of the day because without that I'd probably start punching random people on the street, but now my dad is threatening to make me stop it because my grades are crap and that just devastated me so much. Why should I stop something I'm good at and enjoy so I can do something I hate? Isn't that just wrong? Don't tell me its for a better future, I've been fed that lie so many times. Look at all the college graduates who can't find jobs anymore.

    I've always been told I was a smart guy, because I spoke 4 languages fluently and that I had so much potential and that I was a very good kid in general but I'm convinced that the typical lie all teachers say. I mean seriously they act as if we should be devoted to school and ONLY school. I'll end up having to submit to what everyone tells me, stop rugby, go to school, listen, obey, work. Rinse and repeat. I absolutely loathe school and I want out of it so badly. I hate it this much and yet I don't have the confidence to admit these things to my parents.

    I'm looking for real answers, solutions, and good contribution, not the typical petty reassurances that I can expect of my relatives and schoolmates. Thanks

  • Problem with CoD Ghosts?

    I was playing Call of Duty last night and I had unlocked a lot of items and levelled up to about rank 8? Yeah and when I exited the game and turned off the PS3 and went back on the following morning I lost everything and it took me back to level 3. (Reason being it level 3 is because I had switched off the PS3 at level 3 and continued from there). What gives?

  • How does a human being push beyond their limits?

    I want to know the secret to being able to go beyond your physical limits. A few weeks ago we we're doing 2 hours of fitness and the last exercise was an extremely tiring one. Everyone was practically dead including me and yet this one guy who pushed himself in every exercise, who exhausted all his energy into every exercise still managed to push himself in that last tiring workout. How? When I was doing it my legs felt like exploding, I felt like throwing up, I felt sick, tired, I felt like giving up all of a sudden and I started slowing down but he just continued and Im pretty sure he was feeling the same pain I was but he still continued. It's really inspired me. So my question is, how does one push themselves beyond their capable limits? I mean its one thing to say: "I'm going to push myself beyond my limits." but it's whole different thing actually doing it. Can anyone tell me?

  • I'd like to know my friends peculiar disorder?

    So basically, I'm in 11th grade at the moment and I had a friend who came to my school in 9th grade and was in my class for the two years he was here, from ninth to tenth then he left.

    He was a very strange kind of person, in a way where he would act a lot younger than he is, like he'd act like a 7 year old, and it wasn't purposely. At first I thought he had autism, but he didn't seem to fit in that category because he was very intriguing, a tad bit shy but very sociable in an odd way. Kind of the way a 7 year old is. He'd say things like "Im a flying helicopter!". Haha. Thing is he was picked on a lot because of his immature behavior. But im 100% certain he wasn't faking it.

    He had certain physical differences, like a bigger head and a weird way of walking. His voice was a tad bit high. Me personally I loved him because even though I couldn't speak to him and have a real conversation he was a decent bloke who needed some help so I let him stick by me and my mates.

    But it was odd. Really odd, I'm sure he had a certain disorder and I was hoping maybe one of you people here would know what it is...? Like I said, he acted way bellow his age, had a slightly bigger head than most guys, walked oddly and spoke with a high pitched voice, not too high but a voice like a 7 year old would have. And I doubt its autism because he never threw tantrums, was as sociable as a 6-7 year old boy and never really showed symptoms of autism. And no he didn't have downs syndrome.

    I still miss the guy and was happy to have had him 2 years in a row in my class. Now can anyone figure out what this disorder is?

    PS: He had a surgery done in his legs right below his calf, I don't know if that would affect anything.

  • How to cope with stress before a Rugby game?

    So today I got asked on the phone by my coach to join the Starting XV for the 1st team. And this weekend we're playing the best team in the country. Pretty much said, Im utterly nervous right now and images of me screwing up are going through my brain. How do I stop this and make sure I play at a 100%. Im a good player just not confident about myself and tend to get way too nervous. Also im in a new team so my relationship with my new comrades isn't totally at 100%. I spoke to a big portion of them but other than that the chemistry between us is still a tad bit foreign. Guys I'd appreciate some help.

  • How to catch balls in a rugby game as a fullback?

    I realized the way I've been catching balls in rugby was the wrong way but it seemed to work 99% of the time with me. My coach told me to re-learn how to catch rugby balls. So my question is how do you catch high balls and how do you catch normal punts? And how do you position yourself? I'd like as much advice as possible guys. Thanks!

  • How to heal a sprained foot?

    Heya guys. I had rugby practice today and unfortunately I got myself into a bit of a hassle.

    I got tackled my foot, or shall I say my leg (from my ankle up to my knee) got sprained. I think its actually just my foot (All around the ankle) that got sprained but my leg did get a teensie bit hurt, also heard it crack. Anywho I walked it off and played a bit more and didn't feel too much pain. It was bearable. Now I came back home and was wondering what to do to make it feel better. Im not in too much pain frankly, it does hurt a bit when I walk but hopefully it'll a bit. Im just suspecting it got a bit sprained and luckily didn't cause anything too serious. Any advice on what to do? Ice? Hot water?

  • Extremely nervous for this rugby game...?

    Guys...I have no clue what the HELL is happening right now. I've never, ever felt this nervous before a rugby match. I play Fullback, and I usually THRIVE under pressure man...but now I can't even think right. I tried practicing a bit on catching and tackling today but I can't seem to do anything. God im super nervous! Maybe its because I just joined a new team where I don't know anyone? Oh boy, I feel bad. We have a rugby game tomorrow night, and I've never had this feeling before. Its like Im playing my first ever match....I'm usually the guy who can handle all kinds of pressure but right now im feeling feeble as hell...

    What do i do to make this crap feeling go away! Yikes......? >.<

  • What should I eat to get my 3200 calories a day?

    I workout and do sports everyday. Except on my rest day. Now I read that an active 15 years old teenager like me has to intake 3200 calories a day, and that I have to have 6 smalls meals instead of 3 big ones. Can someone tell me what to eat in the morning, afternoons and evenings? I'm a bit lost.

    Also I take Protein Shakes, its just that I need some help with my nutrition because I didn't realize it was going to have such a big impact. So if someone could just tell me what to eat and when to eat those 6 meals a day, I'd be grateful. Thanks guys.

  • Why was Quade Cooper booed when he got on the pitch?

    I watched the game, AB's vs Australia, and when he came on everyone started booing. What's up with that...Its a huge sign of bad sportsmanship and excuse me but what exactly did Quade Cooper do wrong, other than give Richie McCaw a few cheap shots? Is it because he was born in NZ and played for Australia? Whats wrong with that its his choice no? Brad Thorn played rugby league for Australia before he switched codes and played for the All Blacks, and you don't see Aussie fans booing him. The Kiwis aren't exactly enhancing their reputation for sportsmanship and it doesn't teach the younger audiences any better. Also a guy said: "As for Sir Richie, I've never seen anyone get away with as many "laying in the ruck and shutting the ball down" infringements as he does. If it was anyone other than Sir Richie, they'd be in the sin bin.... permanently!". Evidently Richie McCaw is an angel, never committed any cheap shots or infringements. It kind of bugs me all the hate Kiwis give Quade. Booing shouldn't happen in any sport wether it be from adults or children.
