What is the best way to improve credit score?
When I turned 18, I applied for any and every credit card. Now, 10 years later and I'm finally getting myself out of credit debt hell. I'm almost cleaned up but now I'm faced with another problem... is it better to keep all my cards open or should I cancel some?
I have around 15 cards right now. There are quite a few that are from department stores. Those cards have a ridiculous APR. Would it hurt my rating to close them? I just don't want to have 15 cards to keep track of. And whats the best way to close the account?
Thanks!!

I really like Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss beer because it has a toned down beer flavor mixed with a berry wine cooler. Are there any beers that have a similar fruity taste? Thanks!
6 AnswersBeer, Wine & Spirits1 decade agoMy 3 y/o daughter constantly 'thinks' she's choking, please help!?
I'm a SAHM of a 3 year old daughter. I've never had any problems with her chewing food, etc., but about a week ago, she was eating her dinner and accidentally choked on a bit of food. She was able to spit it out and all was well, but now... everyday since then she thinks she's choking. It got so bad the day after that she barely ate from the fear of it. Now, almost a week later she still says she's 'choking' at every meal and gets very upset. She even says she's choking sometimes during the day when she hasn't had anything to eat or drink. Should I be concerned and speak with her doctor? Or is this something that will go away with time.
PS -- I have continually assured her that she is okay but still I'm at my wits end... I'm afraid she isn't eating enough!
Thanks!
9 AnswersToddler & Preschooler1 decade agoHelp me pick a good printer please!?
I currently have a Brother All-in-One printer (w/fax). I am so sick of it 'eating' the color inks. About 99% of the time I print in black only, but due to the printer having 'cleaning' cycles and such it constantly uses up my color ink cartridges. And the printer WILL NOT let you print AT ALL unless you refill all empty cartridges. You can not even print in grayscale to bypass the empty color inks. It is soooo frustrating!!
So I decided to bite the bullet and by a brand new printer. I am looking for a printer that
#1 (and the most important) - can still print in black if the color cartridges are empty.
#2 - is an all-in-one WITH fax
#3 - is reasonably priced... definitely under $300.
#4 (if possible) - can be set up to wirelessly print from my laptop.
Thanks in advance to everyone! :)

I'm looking to purchase a cheese shredder. I love freshly grated cheese but usually just end up buying the preshredded stuff. I'm considering a salad shooter as it has a shredder attachment. I'm looking to spend under $50. Anyone have one that's really good? Thanks!

1 AnswerMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoWireless network no longer works?
Hi... I have a laptop computer that WAS hooked up to a wireless router (Netgear). It was all set up and secured by Geek Squad. I had to unplug all wires, etc from my laptop in the process of moving homes. Now, I cannot for the life of me get the darn thing working again. I thought all I needed to do was plug it all back in, but nope... no dice. So, I went thru the installation wizard CD that came with Netgear and still cannot figure it out. I am absolutely sure that all wires are hooked up in the right places, so it's not that. Any thoughts before I have to break down and pay Geek Squad again?? Thanks!
5 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoDaughter has low fever with no other symptoms?
I was wondering what to do about my daughter, who is 3, that has a low fever of 100F (just noticed this afternoon). I gave her some Tylenol before bed, but I noticed she is tossing and turning. She doesn't seem to have any cold symptoms and hasn't complained of any 'oww-eys'. I plan on calling doc in the morning, but does anyone have any thoughts?

Has anyone ever tried using an egg peeler? I've seen them on TV but never bought one. I make egg salad and deviled eggs, and this would make it so much easier if it works!!
Also - If it does work for you... let me know which brand you have and how clean up is... nothing is more frustrating than a kitchen gadget that is impossible to clean!
9 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoErrors with Java and/or Flash Player?
I recently ran several programs to get rid of spyware using such programs as spy sweeper, adaware, and regscrub. I must have deleted something critical because now I am unable to load videos on youtube and other sites.
Things I have tried -- going to java.com (says I do not have latest player, so I redownloaded, and still does not recognize v.10 with the verify installation button), gone to adobe.com and it says I have the latest flash player, and went into Internet Tools and clicked all 3 options with Java. Also, I have restarted. Anyone know where I should go from here?
I am running the latest Internet Explorer and Windows XP.
Thanks.

I uninstalled SBC online protection because I didn't really like it and installed AOL's free security suite. After installing AOL's anti-virus...

Someone help please!!
