  1. Every first is special. SO I say follow you heart dont follow your head. Go with your feelings and you wont regret. Dont read too much into anything at this stage just have fun your still a long way to go. After a few years you will have kissed so many boys the first one wont matter but the will always be in your heart as your first kiss. Soon it will be first boyfriend, first guy to touch my boobs, first guy to do this and that, first guy to have sex with me. and if it goes bad from there it will be first guy to make me pregnant, first husband, first restraining order, first true love but first will always exists in your life so who ever it is let it be someone your heart wont regret having to remeebr for a long time to come.
  2. hahaha have you guys seen how fast teens can text on ther key pads. I bet the can write a full length post on here in a minute or two usign their key pads. They dont even need to look for which key makes the letter d or v they have instinct and with predictive text thats even made the whole process easier for them. I know when you do the math the calculations say they are texting once every minute or what ever ridiculous amount but does it occur to you that these teens are sending like 6 texts every minute because they can send one text to each other but amongs 6 frends but the msgs are like text ling one frend will text meet at zakes 2nyt x and send to her 6 friends as conference text they will reply yh @ 8 Pimp n hos and and flood each other with short meaningless texts which make perfect sens to the group. My sister who is 19 has to delete her inbox 2 times a day cause its that full. each time it maxes at 205 msg so shes receiving in excess of 400 txts a day really. and assuming she replies to each msg that means she sending 400 odd a day multiply by 30 days thats like 12 000 messages a month.It must be possible to use 18000 because I used to used a 1000 text pack in 3 or 4 days when I was younger and back then everyone thought I was crazy to use that much especially seeing as i spent it all on one girl and also i realised its not litterally 1 text = 1 message. there are other things like a msg thats just a wor too long goes as 2 texts picture message are = 3 texts (in UK that is though i dont know if the representation is still the same but On O2 Uk I think it still is you get a 300 txt pack and they say 1 pic msg = 3 texts) so you do the math if you forward a pic message and some corresponding info on who is in the photo and send that in less thn a minute you have literally sent 4 texts in a minute assume you sent to all you frends a picture of Daniel being lifted out the pub by a boncer and sent to your 6 frends that means that minute you have sent 24 texts and if somene said damn dude my statement came and it says i sent 24 texts in 2 minutes meaning at that rate im sending 24*60*24*31 lets say thats 60000 i didnt calculate just guessed that answer at random. One would say thats not possible.
  3. i think this package would be really great for small projects like family picture and portfolios and curriculum Vitaes. If you are trying to make your own version of youtube and or twitter I highly advise a different package because if the number of visitors to your site sky rockets you'll be f**ked. hahaha nothing like visiting a site after hearing it from everyone only to get a message that says the site has reached it allocated bandwidth please return later.I would feel sorry for the own but probably piss myself laughing at the level of incompetence of the site administrator
  4. That sounds like a copy and paste tutorial. I mean i didnt read it but i saw the way he/she put the bullets or numbering as 1212_6 that sounds so much like a tutorial you get online. If we are wrong and the is genuine then fair play to you but a quick google search of the phrase I got from your post gives me a lot of hits for a site called sitepoint.com and lo and behold there is a tutorial for the dog house there only with diagrams instead of the 1412_4 which means you literally copy and pasted it and that is called plagerism or something like that. so really you should have put that whole thing in quotes should you not? To prove this here is the link to the original tutorial http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  5. I guess tea making must be an art cause frankly I am not patient at all. I just cant wait 10 minutes for tea. After all we are an impatient generation now. We need everything instantly. I remember when I was a kid and my nan (grandmother) used to make tea it took like half and hour, you did not have tea bags then they were for rich posh people, you had tea leaves which basically look like the stuff inside a tea bag. You had to bring the water to a boil then add two teaspoon fulls of the tea leaves and the let that boil for a while to brew ( hence the nick name in England for tea is brew). The smell would change from one that didnt smell like tea to one that smelt like tea and if you had tasted it before the boiling for few minutes the taste was totally different. Then she would add milk and let it boil again and it would taste really good. Now everything is instant, instant coffee, instant tea no brewing just boil kettle and pour water in cup, dip the tea bag few times and its ready. What is impressive for me is that I have also come to realise that there are thousnads of teas aroound the world. Growing up for me tea was black always. Maybe light brown if you put lemon juice and creamy brown if you added milk. Then came green tea when I was about 100 years old. Then Ice tea. Now I am grown up and go shopping and I realise on shel there is strawberry tea (its red) Lime Tea is yellow, there Twinning Relax tea which is pink, there is every color of tea that is imaginable except gold and silver but other simple colors they are all available and I ask who is deciding that this plant makes blue tea and this one makes purple or orange color tea. Tea must really be something a treasured art form for sure but alas for our children they will grow up knowing this as the way to make tea and they will never really understand that tea making is probably an art. You see, I remember once i tried making tea and I was only 7 seven. I thought tea was just heated water with tea leaves and because when you a child you dont like hot tea i thought no need to much about boiling it when I will add cold water to cool it down so save myself time and just get hot water from a tap and when the water is right temperature that I like. Use that to just make tea and save me the trouble of waiting for it to boil. I did this, the color was perfect but when i tried dringkign it, the taste was rubbish and the smell wasnt pleasant at all.Another thing is that I have realised that tea also relaxes you if you drink it it calms you down but thats another topic that.

    Hi

    its always a pleasure to have new members join the Xisto family. It shows we are growing.

Have lots of fun on Xisto and we hope it will be as beneficial for you as it has been for us so far.Welcome To the family.
  7. Opaque, what was wrong with Xisto.com it was a great name im not sayign you should not have changed it - Im just wondering what was wrong with trap 17 that made you change it in the first place. If you dont mind letting us know. Like Anwiii said before these forums are you lil un and you name them as you see fit.
  8. hahahha its worth getting caught with the roms this game. I love the game but i never realised the giants name was abobo i always refered to him as the giant. I also remember how it had a the boring sound all the way through till the final red carpet and the song would go into mix down and be all nice lol. obviously compared to mp3 sound now its probably sh*t. I remember how my best friend and i were the best in our town at this game. Mind you it took lots of 10p pieces and going hungry at school to save up the tuck money for a few games to achive this. but we got to a point were we were so good as a team, people who couldnt get past stage 3 i think, you know the bit where you have to climb up and there are the fightrs who look like you but wear green instead and they pull the same moves as you. THe elbow hmmm hmm was always effective on abobo and these guys too. Double dragon was the game and i bet it still is if they could make it with todays technology and mentality of gaming. PM me a link to the ROM Someone
  9. kelly kelly kelly ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ahaaaaa aaaaaaaaaha welcome to these forums ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ahaaaaa aaaaaaaaaha read that bit to the tune of ruby ruby ruby by kaiser chiefswelcome to Xisto and i hope you find these forums a great source of knowledge and comfort and communication.

  10. just look at me, im up at 3 am busy using my pc to post stuff on line. Tommmorw at work will b tired and will sleep as soon as i get home not go out with my friends on friday night and then wake up in middle of the night trapped here again. its the same when i first found sekond lyf i was on life all night long making friend virtually no in real life i had a whole family to hang and cht with and we all spent our time glued to computer screens. definitely technology taking over our lives. even video games like ps3 with all the games like guitar hero families find they don't see johnny for weeks on end and all they here is him stumming the guitar doing a world tour and going to and from school in the morning and evening and having luch dinner supper and breakfast on the world tour stage. lolYes technology is bad when it comes to interaction between physical humans.
  11. hahaha Nameless i understand how daunting it must have felt when you logged in first. everything looked different and you probably thought you were lost or had been hit by a popup or redirection but alas. this was not that case.In recent weeks Xisto rebranded itself as Xisto.com because the name Xisto apparently bears more meaning and resemblance to the whole system. Xisto apparently lacked dept in its meaning hence the change. There was a poll put u[ a few weeks or months prior asking what name we prefered and we all had a chance to answer the poll and give our oppinion. Some of us did, i know that i was against the name chnage and i believe (though this maybe be wrong and I have no proof) I believe that the majority wanted to remain as trappers not become sutras but the powers that be went on ahead to change the name.This is probably because by the time many people ask should i do this? in their heads they have already convinveced themselves what they wanna do and are just seaking approval so it looks like everyone decided the decision. So unfortunately we were not as enthusuastic about the name change but that didnt stop the change. A few weeks later I looged in and the name had changed and a poll asking us what we thought of the new name was there. So we said our two cents worth and moved on. We either got used to the idea of being sutra or we had to find ways of getting over it and accepting the change. The services offered have not really changed and everything is probably as you've known before. well save for the name and ofcaurse THey also added that intro which to be honest I dont like so I avoid by entering site via Xisto.com/forums to avoid the intro or Xisto.com/forums and this brings me direct to the forums.So dont panic, Xisto was not bought by some beaurocatic company or sold to some bigshot like google lol. We are still that same trusted product, just wearing a new uniform that is more compliant with todays fashion and everchanging world. So welcome to the new brand for Xisto - KNOWLEGDESUTRA
  12. soon we wont need to wait till new years eve to have a meltdown on the texts we will just have to live with delayed messages. it probably is true that kids are texting each other like crazy because in UK the doctors actually have a texting disorder name here. In the papers about 2 years back were stories of teens who are text-aholics and they were saying the mobile phone companies need to limit the amount people can spend on texting because kids at 13 -17 were wrecking up bills of 300pounds a month and the itemised billing was just texts and they were saying the phone companies would be responsible if the text a holic problem spread so instead the companies introduced plans like 30 pounds for 600 minutes and unlimited texts. or 50 pounds a month for an iphone 1000 minutes unlimited texts, even pay as you go mobiles are like topup 10pouns in a 30 day perios and get 300 free texts and your 10 pounds worth of calls. this only stopped people complaining of the high bills but the problem is still going on. everywhere you look teens are texting. even when you hear them calling each other they are like were are you. we waiting in town , yeah yeah yeah, ok just give me a text when you get here and i'll txt you back. No ones like yeah call me. its like text me text me. whats worse is that education system is suffering too cause the kids are text writting in class and the teachers have been told to relax on being strict on spelling coz kids cants spell proper they txt spell like cum for come and cant tell difference between their, there, they're bacause in text you can get away wit there and the other person will understand. its like each person txts different but the messgae still gets across and so txting is mlike learning multiple languages. No one the kids get addidcted to it. they learn more languages and grammar from texting than from their who life in school
  13. wierdly enough her medding parents seem to have won the fight. Normally its the other way round. When parents meddle the relationships grows stronger. So ask yourself if this is really what you want. She may have changed cause after the hassle she just realises you arent worth the trouble at home or because her feelings for you were put to test, she has come to view the relationshiip in a different light and as a result decided to chill out. I mean if anything in this case you should actually be closer at this point.Take a step back and just chill out otherwise you will only strss yourself. start being on the hunt for a side thing just in case this goes south because f you have a side thing at your age it wont matter that much cause its expected at you age so get a side chick to fall back on if this goes *BLEEP* up. Otherwise you'lll be left hurting without anyone. - trust me
  14. welcome Hannah boo.I'd love to see your drawing you sound very very artisitic and good at what you do. Post a link to your drawing s so can chack out and comment. Also if you need any asisstance with anything just ask and we'll all be happy to help were we can. I hope your stay on Sutra will be brilliant. Dont forget to do your homework because Xisto can be addictive. trust meWelcome dearest, Welcome
  15. i think deep down the essence of life is the same what ever it is. The difference is how we interact with our environment. Dont take this as a dig at other races or minorities but look at history. What was the difference between an Aboriginee and and a gorilla ( please dont read to much into this i used Aboriginees becaue they were undeveloped and most people know how unciviliated they were in the near past) A gorrilas prime was to hunt and feed its family and to make shelter to live same with cave men and africa before civilisation. But now we feel supperior to animals because we interact better with our planet than they do. but what about before we did. we were just predators preying on animals for food like lionsd preying on giraffe or buffalo for food. Remmeber we humans think a certain way but we have no clue if birds talk amongs each other saying what undeveloped creatures they cant fly. before civilisation there was the barter system where people exchanged goods how do we know that birds dont do this. we are not birds and just like birds dont realise we have tv's and cellphones maybe bees technology is million times better than hours but we have no idea how to recognise of interact with it. Kinda like how we wouldnt know how to interact with aliens from another planets space ship. we think we know it all but i think we dont. Maybe gorrillas hide or send minature ants into our homes with recording equipment to watch how humas live and they have their own discovery channel with planest of the humans as a documentary on humans. You never know. I know you thinking we are better than birds cause we made an aeroplane but then angel are a supreeme being and they are better than us but i havent heard of an angel using a bus to travel. they dont need a bus cause they can fly or teleport but humans need a bus cause they are slow. remeebr we adapt cause of need. We hated goignto the river to get water hence pipes were made to bring us the water. Maybe animals enjoy walking to the water. Hence dont need the pipes. We think we are superior to dogs. But dogs dont walk behind us picking our poo, we pick up their poo. Its possible they thinking like a gold digger bimbo i'll pretend to be nice and that i love him so i get all his sh*t and they do get our homes and everything they need without paying a dime. so Whose the smart superior one. Remeber just because your in control of a large co-operation and make all the decisions doesnt mean the company is your, there may be a board of directors that can still fire you.Also the workers are in more control but they just dont know it. if the manager left the company can survive without one. but if the workers left the company can be brought to its knees even witha manager. SO who really in control Humans who think theya re earths bosses or the animal workforce.
  16. For me its been a while since i went to church I dont know what to believe anymore. I havce been through a lot and God hasnt trully been by my side to be honest. Please dont tell me about the footsteps in the sand, it is a beautiful poem but in my life it doesnt apply because \i know for a fact that \god dont care about me or rather maybe \im not a part of his family so he does not need to do me any favours. I also have a question if its okay with you that i stray slightly from the original topic about tongues but what does the holy spirit have to do with the falling down when prayed for. i know the bible says about being slain in the spirit but tell me its like a game a wave thats swept across churches. its not always been the case. it was like one period it was the in thing now its all faded. Some churches still do it but its not that vast now like before. Was this a phrase in christianity or was the falling down backwards thing a big exagerration.
  17. its been 3 years since.Are you still together or yu broke up shortly after. Give us an update on what happened if you dont mind buddy.
  18. nothing hurtsd like the situation you are in buddy. A half open door sends such mixed signals I know this is hard for you cause your head doesnt know whether to heal or not. See if she said Im done f... off you know exactly where you stand and it hurts for a few weeks and its over you start to heal. You get on with your life. but when theres no closer you dont know whether you're wanted or not. You are in constant debate ion ytour heart and constant fear you'll be kicked out. Like being on death row and not knowing when the big day will come. I'd say just be brutal to be kind. Asume the worst and move in that direction. Tell yourself she's just to nice to hurt you directly and walk away. Block her from skype so you dont know whether she's contacted you or not. Dont contact her, avoid logging in to IM and skype because that only makes you wait and wwait for her to initiate conversation. See its easier to blame yourself and say it was me who blocked her because i was being stupid or I listened to that idiot Mandla of Xisto than to ask yourself why isnt she texting me or talking to me is she shutting me out, what is wrong because you wont get answers there and it will as a result only stress you out. so bite the bullet and make the move. Maybe she doesnt realise how much you going through but if you mirror her treatment she'll understand how it felt one day. I was once in a similar situation with a girl in australia, same senario she started acting shady as if she did not wanna talk. I was a wreck emtionally but someone said do the same to her. but go further block her so you know why she hasn't contacted you. that way you not asking why hasnt she contacted me because you have the answer yet shes asking why has he stoppped contacting me. Whats going on has he found another. think about it. no one wants to be dumped. Even if you hated this girl you were dating and were on the bus going to break up with her and she calls you and says i dont want to be with you anymore suddenly you'll forget that you was on your way to dump her and you'll start saying but why cant we work things out. so the same applies here. with the aussie girl she always said im busy planning for my lesson tommorow (she was a teacher) and im tied i have a lesson tommorow morning. I kept saying to her just 5 minutes a day is all i ask and she'd say thats fair but everytime i found her on line chatting to other people and then as soon as we start talking she'd realise how tired shewas and it was sleepy time as she called it. So I shut her out and a month later she was emailing me and literally stlking me, whats happeneing you dont talk to me and she was getting all upset. I said to her I will be busy sorting out my stuff for work and all that, When ever she initiated contact by phone i'd talkl for two minutes then say i have to go get my dinner at the chinese/ inidan/ KFC or nandos one excuse after the other and soon she was mad. Are you seeing anoither girl, tell me so i dont waste my time and feelings. And i asked her do you assume that im lying now because you were lying then. Because realise you were unavailable to be back then for 4 months saying you busy plannig your lesson plans and or sleepy time. how many times did i beg for five minutes a day and you said you were busy. did I accuse you of cheating. NO!! I say the same stuff to you and you go ape sh*t and say im cheating. What makes you think that when a person says they are busy they are lying and seeing someone else unless you have experience witht hat lie yourself. She tried to explain that with her it was different because she really was doign as she said but couldnt really say outside of her what the difference really was. Needless to say I told her exactly what my terms and conditions were if she wanted to continue this. I needed taking care of as much as her lesson plans and if she was gonna be putting sleepy time as priority then I was out. Unfortunately I had lost interest in her by then and shortly after that I just blcked her from email and skype and IM and never contacted her again. Mean but served her right.be vague and justr answer her lazily like just lol or brb and never get back to her.
  19. he was right to dump you. And I say to anyone else in a similar situation dump her / him. Cause they are just a waste of your time. we are not baby sitters and vaocal therpists or confidence boosters we are human and if you spend ages teraching her to speak you will soon go past the boyfriend stage and become a controlling freak. You know the kind of people who fill she owes you something for bossting her confidence like oyu own them cause they were nothing with out you. Also because they broke up he's forever remained in her mind so he's immortal to her now. If they had a date that amounted to nothing as did her other relationships she'd have not start this thread and he'd have been one of those people refered to as I dated 4 guys no name just a number. not even a significant number a part of number basically to those who hear it a random number between 1 and 4 lol. or worse still one of those people where you are refered to as I dont even know if that was dating, cause nothing really happened. I'd much rather be a one night stand cause you hava a speciifiic title like most girls ususally have one night stands in their life so then im diferent rather be oh he's one of my ex's i'd be oh thats the guy from my one night stand or my one day relationship he dumped me next day cause i was so nervous cause i liked him too much and didnt know what to say. Also for the rest of her life she'll wonder what would have happeend if she had just acterd differently.
  20. recently i came across a site that had google ads on the pages. Whhat made me notice this was because the sizes of the ads seemd different to the ones im stuck with on my site. The sizes looked more adapted to the site and i thiought those ads look in perfect sync hmmm what size are they and i took a closer look. I realised they werent google ads at all they said Adbrite Ads and I believe they are probably pay per click to just like google cause from a little busy mind they looked like google ads. I assumed they were cause thats what I expected when I saw the layout of the ads in their box its very similar with a single glance you'd all proabably assume its google. So why not go to Adbrite and signup for their ads maybe they will accept you and if their payout is good let us know so we signup to.I was just weary of signign up cause i'm signing up every other day for stuff and Im tired of having to remember passwords.
  21. Are you for real. Because this sounds like a fantastic thing, but like they say usually if something is too good to be true it usually is. I dont know whether this is a scam to get my email address for spam or for you to get my details and apply for credit. I dont mean to accuse you but im just saying why are you doing this where is your gain. I will send you an email and i would appreciate full details of the whole thing. not just the sweet bits cause surely there are pros and cons. It would be nice to have the full picture though to be honest Im a bit weary of it all. I'd love to further my degree to a masters but I dont want to loose cash for no reason. Send me an email mandlastone at email.com
  22. I think making money online is easier than making and setting up a website. I think everyone who has a website even with 1 visitor a day can make money from their website.The big question not making money easily but its the amount of money you make. If say you had a google ad and I click a link on your site (which is google ads based) then definitely you will make money on line and its that easy. The big question is will you be satisfied you made $0.02 because thats still money made on line but then the amount is ridiculous but not if you are in a poor country like some basket cases we've heard of. where ?1 = 1 million or stuff like that. For those people having 10 clicks a day they'd be dot com trillionaires with success stories. So to be honest we all can easily make money on line but maybe the question is can we survive easily using the money we make online.? For me I can survive especially just from the google ads becuase I have lots of traffic to my community based website. I avoided the global market and just did something for my town so everyone in my city thinks this is their google because its personal to them. I mean I added everything google searches using google adsense. Shopping times, usefull contacts. Places of interest, got night clubs and resturants advertising on there and the lot so I am doing ok in that sense. But i have another site which is global and thats not doing to well after all there are billions of global market competitors world wide. You have a higher chance of making money from a tennis tips site for intermediate players in Wisconsin than from launching a youtube rival globally. Because Jose from Mexico is also doing the same thing, Brian from Englan, Shamus from Ireland, Tandie from South Africa, Kiko from Japan, Chung Li from Japan, Kate from Australia, Vladmir from russia, Alejandra from spain are all doing the same thing and it means your visitors will be diluted amongst the billions of peopla around the world trying to do the same site. But if you make a site for say shemales in your province they will probably have more hits because there isnt no any competition(if there was you'd have heard of the competition by now). So go on plan a strategy and cash in big time.
  23. i think you can also download Microsoft Expression, their upgraded software version of the now defunct Frontpage. hahahah It just hit me Front page was actually called Frontpage Express. so I guess Expression is trully a direct decendant of Frontpage.its a small program that does not take up as much space as most HTML, WYSIWYG compilers. I havent used it that much becauser I'm a dreamweaver person but i was travelling and needed to finsih some work I was doing and I downloaded Expression of Microsoft's site. Its only like 116 MB and I was using it with ease within 2 minutes of installation. It has a nice CSS view which makes it so much easier to see the source CSS of any part of the webpage. I think learners will find thios easy to use and of course they can use Expression to Express themselves.
  24. there is nothing for free in this world. There is always a price to pay. it may not be a tangable price or in direct price but like the scientist once said for every action there is an equally oposite re-action. Even a free meal in a restuarant is paid for by either slightly expensive drinks or a delayed pay rise for the staff. Free health from the Government is paid for by slightly increased tax. Even then the government would hardly say we are raising taxes to cover free health care they would come up with another need like the cost of living has gone up. similarly being on the dole means you get free money for support from the government and in turn the workers are charged more tax and need to work longer which means our children will suffer from long hour labour we dont pay directly but our children or future generations may have to pay the price. The price may also be our dignity for instance free cash from begging means selling your diginity and sitting on street begging. Even being free costs the price of lives sacrified in war.
  25. For me my children would rank above anything else in the world. And I just hope one day they too will love their offspring as much as i love them
