Im part of an onine secret santa and the person I got lives in Sweden.Seeing as shipping to there from the states is about 25-30 a pound, I was planning on just buyinga gift from a swedish store online and having that shipped to him. I found a great gift on the Swedish department store Ahlens, but google translate isnt that great and Im trying to find out if its possible to buy it on the site and have it shipped from the store. Anyone know a little swedish or live in sweden and could lend a hand? Thanks

I'm looking to go on a cruise in January but want to get the best deal. Would it make more sense to book early or hold out until late December? I know things like hotels and cruises sometimes lower prices as the departure date nears in order to fill vacant space. Whats my best bet?

Im looking for a mens small-medium black button, only the kind with the buttons that snap rather than lock in (or whatever term it is that regular buttons do) Anyway,I have a white one from converse but the apparently dont have them. Does anyone know where I could find one,either in a store or online?Thanks

Ths is probably a dumb question,but i couldnt find anything on the subject-im looking at getting a motorola 490,which according to motorola can operate with verizon,tmobile,att, and so on. However, on the ebay page selling it,the carrier is listed as tmobile. Does that mean that I cant buy it and reactivate it as a verizon phone? Unless theres something different about the internals,i would think itd be fine. Anyoen know? Thanks

PS: I know you can check the esn,but its ending in the next couple hours and the seller hasnt sent me it.

I have an lg vx8600 and where I live it gets practically no reception.I checked online and it seems my only option is to downgrade to the moto v710 or the e815, or a nokia. Are there any phones that are newer(last 3-4yrs) that get great reception? Im not terribly fashion concious but the motos can be bricks,and i hate using nokias.Thanks

Im looking at buying a restored mustang,and noticed that alot dont have a/c. I looked up the install kits for adding a/c, and noticed several people talking about the original oem a/c setup versus an aftermarket. Does this mean some mustangs from that era had a/c? Thanks for any help

I just got a new pair of jeans, and while I as putting them on one day, I popped one of the "teeth" off the zipper. Now I cant keep them zipped up. Is there any easy way to fix this? Thanks

Any idea as to what causing this,and a possible fix for it?Thanks

I work landscaping in the summer,which means in winter I need to get a new job. I have a 5 year background in retail,and last worked at a convenience store starting at $8 an hour but terrible benefits. Ive looked at Staples,Home Depot,and several other places-looking for info on any retail company that offers good starting pay as well as good benefits.I live in the North East so anywhere around there applies.Any info is appreciated.

I recently bought a spyder agressor xt and bought an expansion chamber as an upgrade for it.However,I realized to late that i needed a vertical adapter to fit the chamber to the gun. After finding one online,I was told I would also need an LPC-is that right?My Spyder SE has a chamber with adapter,but no LPC or even a hole to add one. Would I be fine with just the adapter?

I just recently got a refurbished xbox 360 along with the new prince of persia game.When it first turned on,it asked if Id like to update,then reset itself,so I assumed it updated.After setting everything up, I got about 2 mins into the game before it froze.So I made sure it was getting enough air, and still around 2mins in it froze. Several more attempts and all results were the same. The dashboard runs smoothly,its only the game that freezes.I cleared the memory cache, but the problems still there. Could it be the game-it was brand new,and normally the only thing Id expect from a faulty disc is skipping,not freezing. Is it the xbox itself,and if so,any idea how to fix it?

Thanks!

I use a micro sd card for my phone memory,and it came with an sd adapter.I recently got a digi cam that uses an sd car for memory.So I put the micro sd card into the adapter and then into my camera,only to have it tell me the card needs to be formatted. If I format it,will it no longer work in my phone?

I took my car to my dealer to get my broken shocks fixed(hooray recall) and asked about vibrations I was experiencing while driving.I had dealt with a similar issue on my old Focus and found out motor mounts were the culprit. This time they told me it was the linkage. I know a good deal of diy car info and have done the majority of my own repairs,but I cant find any info on linkage causing vibrations.Is there anywhere I can info on how to do it myself(Ive already scanned focusfanatics.com) or anything that might help?

I have regular blue jeans,however I usually wear dark blue/charcoal color distressed jeans. Dyes tend to produce uniform color throughout the jeans,which would take away from the look I want. Is there an alternative,like brushing them with a lil oil or anything, or is it best to just throw on some grey dye,than put them through a day of hell to distress them best?Thanks.

I have a 01 Sonata GLS that needs a new input speed sensor,located on the tranny.I found the part online and figured Id fix it myself,but Im clueless as to how to do it-Is it simply just popping the old one out and putting the new one in,or do wires need to be cut and attached and all that? Thanks for any help

I have an automatic 01 sonata, and when i get to aroundd 5x rpms, it hesitates until I release the gas and step on it again. I had a Focus that did similar and it was the oil,but this seems different-doesnt seem to be any sticking since the oil was changed and it still occurs-any ideas on what this could be?
