  • How could I go about finding some of my relatives without getting a violation on here?

    I am a descendant of Will and Minnie Pearl Dickson and would love to find some of my cousins whom I do not know. But several of the questions I've posted here got me violations and I don't know what to do. I did get one response from a girl who is probably my cousin, but she didn't have any contact information in her profile and I can't get in touch with her or I would just have done it that way. I don't have any credit cards to use for any of the other services offered that do these things for money, so I need to find a way to do this myself and at no cost. Can somebody offer some viable suggestions so I can find my family? I would greatly appreciate your help with this one. Thanks in advance to all who answer and help in some way.

  • What are the parents in these households doing?

    I am constantly amazed at the questions on here that are obviously from the younger generation still at home with their parents. A great deal of these questions are quite personal issues that should not be aired to the world in places like this, but more adequately dealt with at home. I'm just wondering where these parents are and what are they doing? Because they sure aren't bothering to teach their children many of the vital things they need to know. Is the computer rapidly replacing the TV as the means of baby sitting that is the responsibility of the parent in the home?

  • Why do people post the same question more than once in the same post? Some twice, others even more?

    I see this all the time. It is at the top of the questions pages where it says "so-and-so posted a question" and right underneath it will be the same exact question again. Why do they do this?

  • Anyone on here who might be a descendant of Will and Minnie Dickson from Rockford, Illinois, my grandparents?

    My father was John Henry Dickson and he was married to Mary Frances Lyda. They lived in Hendersonville, NC and had one son and one daughter. I am that daughter, Gail, and I would like to know my father's family. He had a rather large one. I have met his brothers Fred and Frank, and his sisters Mary and Velma. I don't know any of my cousins and would love to know them. Both mom and dad are gone now and my brother and I are not close at all. I know I have family out there and want to know more about them. Maybe this will help.

  • What can I do at home about my dog's canine baby tooth not coming out before his adult tooth came in?

    My husband pointed out to me that our dog's adult canine had come in on one side and the baby tooth is still there and in perfect alignment with the adult tooth. It doesn't appear to be coming out at all, but it looks like it might grow into the new one. I don't have any money to take him to the vet for this and was wondering if there was a simple solution I could do at home to help him out. It doesn't seem to bother him, but it might later on. Can I just pull the baby tooth out without hurting my dog? Please, someone help. He is my best friend and I love him. Thanks!

  • What's the big deal with HO HO HO?

    What in the world is wrong with Santa saying "HO! HO! HO!" ? I do understand that in a different context, using the word "ho" can be demeaning to some questionable females. But why make Santa stop saying it after all these years? Most certainly it would be easy to explain to children or anyone else the difference between Santa's meaning of the word and the not so nice meaning of the word. Must we waste time lobbying over such a trivial issue when we have people who can't afford health care or food and clothing for themselves and their families? Surely our nation has something more worthwhile to being making a fuss about to change for the better. I am amazed that an issue such as this would even get noticed with all that needs to be fixed to make America a better place. I don't see where censoring Santa this way will do anyone any good at all.

    Anyone have a worthwhile answer for this one? Please enlighten me if you do. I will be waiting to hear great wisdom.

  • Still can't get in to MySpace. Was advised to clear my history and my cookies. How do I do this?

    I haven't been able to get in my account all week and I know the account is still in there because my friend can get in on her computer. An answer from a previous question said clear my history and delete my cookies and try again but I don't really know how to do this. Can someone help me do this right? I really miss my MySpace. I was finally learning to upload things and make my profile more interesting with pictures and comments. Maybe something I put in there is the problem, but I can't get to it to do anything. Please be gentle as I am new at all this computer stuff and need instructions with any suggestions. Thank you in advance for your patience and help!

  • Does anyone know about deportation?

    I have a friend from Russia who was here in NC and this girl he knew got him deported back to Russia recently and I am worried about him. Just wondered if anyone knew what he might be going through. We called him Ginny and loved him dearly. I wonder if there is any way I could get a message to him and tell him we miss him and think of him often? As for the twit that did this to him, her a$$ is mine! What a horrible way to return someone's love!

  • Is there any sort of "postmaster general" equivalent for email? How do I get that address?

    I received an unusual request in and email I got from another country and it sounds very illegal. It is involving an enormous amount of money being transferred. I need to sort through the request and to do that I need someone with banking knowledge. This is a very strange request. Please advise only if you truly know.

  • Anyone know what happened to the agent who carried away the bomb?

    In Grey's Anatomy, it was the first time I'd watched the show, a girl was in the OR with her hand inside some man taking out a bomb in surgery. The surgery went well and the bomb was handed over to, I guess, an agent of the bomb squad and he made his way down the hall slowly. The nurse, however curious, just had to get one last look at the man as he walked away and just then, BOOM! It exploded and she was caught up in the blast, hurt but not dead. Nothing was said of the man who was carrying the bomb. Did he get blown away?
