Haha! finally. After a plentyful of hours I have at last finished a 
working code. Completely inept and lacking of grace, I know, but still! 
At last it is finished.
  Just thought I would let you guys know since you helped me so much by 
providing me with code-examples and tips. I know I've thanked you once 
already, but anyways once again, thanks!
 I also read some of the advanced coding, and even though I can't 
understand half of it I found it pleasureable to read. It also spurs me 
to work harder so that one day I can (hopefully) understand it.

Here is the code by the way:

--------------
bottles = 99
line1 = " bottles of beer on the wall, "
line2 = " bottles of beer."
line3 = "Take one down and pass it around, "
line4 = "bottles of beer on the wall."

while bottles != 0
  if bottles != 1
  firstpar = bottles.to_s + line1 + bottles.to_s + line2
  secpar = line3 + bottles.to_s +  line4
  puts firstpar
  bottles -= 1
  puts secpar
else
  line1["bottles"] = "bottle"
  line2["bottles"] = "bottle"
  line4["bottles"] = "no more bottles"
  firstpar = bottles.to_s + line1 + bottles.to_s + line2
  secpar = line3 + line4
  puts firstpar
  bottles -= 1
  puts secpar
  end
end

line1 = " bottles of beer on the wall, "
line2 = " bottles of beer."
firstpar = "No more " + line1 + "no more " + line2
secpar = "Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the 
wall."
puts firstpar
puts secpar
-----

I know it's not pretty, but in time I hope it will become more graceful. 
:D
