  • HOW TO LOCATE SOMEONE IF I HAVE NO CONTACT INFORMATION WHERE THAT PERSON MAY BE?

    I had an old friend (Dennis S.) who (I heard) was killed in the Viet Nam War during the late 1960's. The family lived next door to me and my parents in the mid-1960's. I have many photographs I would like to give anyone in his family if I can find someone. I have tried locating them using our local library with no success. I don't have the knowledge of using Facebook, Tweeter to locate people. I'm in my late 60's now and I would appreciate anyone's help in locating a relative that may still be living (Dennis sister Vicky). I don't want to give any last names of the family in respect of their privacy. I am requesting help with ideas that would help me locate them myself. I will say: I believe they were from Kansas, they moved to Huntsville, AL in the mid- 1960's and I believe the father (Wayne S.) worked as a draftsman for Boeing and the mother (Millie) was a homemaker. The family moved to Florida in the late 1960's, The only family member who may still be living would be Dennis's sister Vicky. She would be in her mid to early sixties by now and I do not have a married name for her if she is married. I have about given up on reuniting these pictures with her. Perhaps someone may have an idea I haven't thought about I truly hope so and appreciate your help.

  • Do you know the name of this movie?

    I’m trying to find the name of a movie I saw many years ago. Unfortunately, I do not remember who played the main character or the name of the movie. I’m hoping someone will recognize the description of the movie and furnish me its name. Here is what I do remember: The main character and a group of other men were carrying a large boat across snow covered mountains to a body of water. During this event the main character was sent out to hunt for game to feed his companions. While out on this hunt he was attacked by a huge bear. Suffering from loss of blood and severe injuries he could not return to camp. Two of his companions were sent out to find him. After seeing his condition they decided to leave him behind to die. After some time he began to recover and started his quest to catch-up with those who had left him behind. After catching the men he began to get his revenge dealing out his own justice. At the end of the movie the movie the captain of the ship was shouting (the name of the main character) saying he hoped he would burn in hell. I hope this will spark someone’s memory and you can help me out. I’d really like to watch this movie again. Thanks for your help!

    P.S. the movie is not Jeremiah Johnson.

  • Samsung 40" T.V. Picture Quality Plummeted.?

    I purchased a 40" Samsung HD T.V. from Sears just before Christmas 2010. When I hooked everything up it worked great. A couple of months ago the T.V.'s picture quality suddenly plummeted with no wiring changes. I tried adjusting the picture color with no improvements. I viewed diagnostic example built in to T.V. and all those colors look great. When I go back to my HD T.V. Cable programs the colors are less than good. It seems either the sky is too green or the trees are too blue or the skin color is too red. I don't see any yellow on any channel. I've had my cable company (Mediacom) come out three times to check the signal strength and replace some connector ends. They tell me the signal is strong but my picture is still not good. Below are my T.V.'s specs:

    Model code: UN4C5000 QF

    Software Version: T-MSX5AUSC-2006

    I would appreciate your help in solving this problem!

  • GE Refrigerator leaking water from bottom of freezer door.?

    I have a GE brand refrigerator/ freezer (side-by-side) that is approximately 6 years old. I now have a problem with water leaking through the bottom of the freezer door. There is an ice dispenser and water dispenser in the door of the freezer. I turned off the water two weeks ago but water still runs from the bottom of the door. This water doesn't leak constantly but only once or twice a day. I will find approximately a half cup of water on the floor. I know this is where the leak is coming from because I observed the water dripping. It's not running from anywhere else. Does anyone know what might be causing this leak and what repairs I need to make?

    Thanks!

  • Refinancing my home mortgage. What do I need to ask the mortgage companies ?

    I presently have a 5.375 - 30 year fixed rate mortgage and my credit score is in the "Grade A", excellent category . I have spoke with several lenders and I'm getting more confused. I need your help to know the right questions to ask so I can compare apples to apples. Who are the best and safest lenders? I don't want to give my telephone number to any more lenders because they call me all the time. The more they talk the more confused and flustered I get. I would prefer to communicate with them via-email and give them my list of questions. Please give me a list of the most important questions I need to ask before choosing to refinance so I can get a "real comparison" and not a bunch of double talk and sales gimmicks.

    Thanks for your help!

  • Vacation pictures were put on a dvd instead of a cd....PLEASE HELP!?

    My wife and I took over a hundred irreplaceable vacation / family pictures last year and we cannot print the pictures with our computer. I really need help from someone with computer skills. These are not movies, just pictures . They play in my T.V.'s dvd player as a slide show. When I put the disk in my computer I get the prompt "Windows cannot open this file, needs to know what program created it" I don't know the answer! Originally I got the pictures to the computer by inserting my SD memory card in my computers card reader, from there they were burned to a dvd not a cd. I have a CD Writer and a DVD-RW in my computer. I also have a program (1 Click DVD) installed on my computer.

    Is there a way to load the images (from the dvd) back to my computer so I can print these pictures? My computer skills are very limited so I need simple and step-by-step instructions. I hope someone reading this will know what I should do. Thanks for your help and have a safe and happy holiday season.

  • Frivolous Law suites?

    I have a lawyer who has represented me in four law suites filed over the last three years. The plaintiff has cost me over $50K defending myself. I have always won the court cases but can not recover any money because he declaired bankruptcy before starting these law suites. This person has now forged a documents (cut and pasted my signature) to start a new case. My lawyer asked for the original but he will not give them to us (because there is no original). He is asking the court to accept this copy as an original because "he says" he no longer has an original. In my state it is possable to use a copy of a contract as an original. He has lots of money (HIDDEN) so he and his family starts something new every time they loose a case. What can be done to stop him from filing another law suite against me? He is trying to break me financially. I would really appreciate your serious answer and help. Please Help if you can!

  • DVD copying problems.?

    I just purchased a download of 1CLICK DVD COPY. I had to also download DVD43 to make back-up copies of some of my movies. I used it successfully on two encrypted movies and was very pleased with the quality. The next day I attempted to copy other encrypted movies but it didn't work. I keep getting a pop-up message that says "Cant connect. DVD43 driver must be installed, up to date and active". Do I need to download DVD43 again? How can I make sure i'm getting the latest version of DVD43? Is there another/better decrypter I should consider? Please provide a link to your suggested site. I sent an e-mail to 1CLICK service center yesterday and have not received any response (so much for customer service). Thanks for your help.

  • Gas Companies Profits too high ...Time to fight back!?

    Recently Exxon released their quarterly earning (profit) of 10.3 BILLION dollars. What this means"we are being gouged at the pumps". Since our politicians are being funded by these big oil companies they will not help us. We can do something to lower prices by BOY COTTING these companies starting with Exxon service stations and Exxon products. It's a starting point.

    When their corperate profits decline they will be forced to lower their prices.

    When this quarter ends, the company reporting the Highest profit should be boy cotted for the next quarter until they lower their prices. In other words the companies with the highest profit will not get our business for the next quarter.

    I hope everyone reading this will spend at least 5 points to continue circulating this message until everyone understands the importance of sticking together to pressure these companies to lower their prices. Doing nothing means business as usual for the oil companies. Take a stand now, Boy Cott
