Resolved Question: computer games of the 90′s: a car on the moon? a 6th grader game about a mysterious island? freddie fish?
when i was little i played these three games, and now for nostalgia purposes i want to know what the are.
one was about a car who gets sent to the moon on a firework and he has to find all the pieces to get back. i think he was purple and has a dog with him.
the second was a 6th grade game about some kids who get stuck on a island and have to figure out what’s going on, there were settlers and some magic stuff and the kids had this PDA thing that you could use to track money and your adventure and stuff.
the last one is a freddie fish game, but you had the find the missing conch, but i’m not sure what is’s called (i might just be the case of the missing (or stolen) conch, but when i’m not really sure).
they’re all educational games, btw.
if you know the names of any, thanks!
Resolved Question: Very unhappy at home…..?
I’m really unhappy at home, and I just want to get away. Im not being abused or anything. I talk very much to my parents. But the big issue is my brother. I just can’t seem to want to be around him. He always pisses me off, everyday.
We are two opposites. He just sits down all day, playing computer games, doesn’t take care of himself, leaves all sorts of dirty clothes, wrappers, pants, milk bottles in our room. A lot of junk food will be gone. He would also put his things on my bed I hate sharing rooms with him, I only sleep in my room that’s it. He is just really immature, he would slam doors if he gets pissed off, he talks so much rubbish and just sits on the games console for at least 12 hours in a day not even including laptop, PDA, PC, mobile phone.
Resolved Question: I am SO furious with my dad?
He is being such a hypocrite lately. My mom died when I was 10 (almost 7 years ago). In September he got his first girlfriend since my mom’s death. She is very nice and everything, but it’s just weird anyway. At first it was great because he always spent the night at her house on weekends and I could just go out and get drunk or stoned or whatever (don’t be so quick to judge, I rank first in my class of over 300 kids, I keep my priorities straight). My dad has been out of work for about 4 years and hasn’t done much to even look for a job. Every day he takes the dog for a walk in the morning, then comes home, reads the paper and eats breakfast, and hangs out with his girlfriend. That’s his life. Sometimes I do not know how we get by financially- I make about $3,000 a year and that’s more than my dad makes. And all I do is sell pastries on Saturday mornings. He doesn’t do dishes and then gets mad when we (my 14 year old brother and I) don’t put ours in the dishwasher immediately. He only takes out the garbage in his room on trash day and gets mad if we do the same. He is never home to talk because he is always with his girlfriend, then gets mad when I have my iPod in while doing homework because he can’t have a conversation with me. And it’s not just my brother and I noticing this- these two couples who are best friends with my dad have said things to my brother and I (one told my brother that my dad has been ignoring us more, one told me, “Your dad and his girlfriend are gross. They were making out constantly at the Sharks game. She’s nice, but they don’t know their PDA limits.”). I love cake decorating and I’m quite good at it. For my friend’s birthday (tomorrow), I made a cake with a chocolate butterfly set on top of roses. I was really excited to show my dad and all he said was, “I thought you would put two butterflies on it.” I just gave him a disappointed look and then he got all pissy at me and said I was rude. I spent 3 hours on the cake.
He is driving me up the wall, but if I say anything I know he will get all defensive.
Open Question: how to control your spa from your iphone?
I have an in ground spa that is controlled by a Jandy PDA (pool digital assistant) through an Aqualink RS system, (also made my Jandy) and I was curious if there was an app on the iPhone to where I could control my spa. This would be convenient because my spa fits about 20 people and takes forever to heat up, so I’m basically looking to be able to heat it up from where ever I am, not just over a wifi network. I’ve tried looking every where online for an app but haven’t found any, so if anyone has some advice on where to find something, (if it even exists) it will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Resolved Question: this question is for mac users only. how much do you love your mac?
i dont know much about computers but every computer i have owned was a pc. well im leaning towards buying a new macbook or macbook pro and i dont know much about them either. the only thing i know is that its a bit pricey and there arent too many viruses out there for macs. i would like to use it for my business, listening to musics, surf the web, and somtimes watch videos. since i only use it for the basic things then is it worth buying a macbook or macbook pro?
also i had always owned a regular cellphone (non pda/smartphone) and used to think the iphone was over rated and expensive untill bought one myself and thought wow, if i hadnt bought an iphone then i would be missing out. i love my iphone… my iphone was damaged not too long ago and i wouldnt settle for another phone so i picked up another iphone. so my question is… if i buy a new macbook pro, is it just like switching from a regular cellphone to an iphone? i am just trying to compare the two and would like to know if i should buy the new macbook or macbook pro. thanks!!
