I borrowed a weed eater from a friend of mine, and it's one where you have to pull the spool off to load the string. How do I load the string back in so I can continue weedeating my yard? The string I'm using is the right string for the weed eater, I just don't have a clue how to go about getting it in.

What I would do is go to the WEB site of the manufacturer. Look up the model and see if there is a diagram of the process for display or download. The process differs between modules. On the two that I have owned, the spool is pried off and the string pushed into a notch on the inside. The string is wound in the opposite direction that the spool spins, generally counter clockwise. The loose end is then threaded through a hole in the outside of the spool receptable as its pushed back in.

Yes, usually the little ones have a bump head that pops off, in the head a tiny hole to slip a little line in, and a arrow to show you which way to wind it. Which brand weeder is this though? Weedeater brand?
