My girlfriend got me a Christmas gift, however, it is something that I will never use and it cost about $75. She did not include the gift receipt so I cannot return it. I would like to exchange this gift for something that I want and is more useful to me. Is it wrong or insensitive of me to ask her to give me the receipt so that I can return it or exchange it? I am afraid she may take offense to this and get upset or cry. I did try selling this on a website, however, I did not get any offers.

Do women purposely keep guy friends around so that they can possibly date them or get romantically involved with them down the line?

Which means more to a woman: a good friend, or her romantic partner?

I have a female friend that I am close with and have feelings for, however, she has told me that she is not interested in me that way. She doesn't have many friends, and she confides in me a lot of personal details and problems. We communicate practically every day via email, text message, and phone. She tells me that I'm a really great friend that understands her and accepts her. Strangely, she always gets attracted to guys that I consider to be losers, and she makes me meet them. I just wonder if she puts me on top or below these guys. I figure that if you're involved with someone seriously and romantically, that person is your priority.

I've promoted a Windows Server 2003 standalone machine to an domain controller in an AD. It has the DNS service on it. I try to join some Windows XP machines to the domain, but on the XP machine's log, I see that they cannot receive the policies from the DC because they cannot locate \\domain.name\sysvol. I can, however, connect using UNC by the DC's machine name, server. So \\server works fine, but \\domain.name does not work from the XP machines. Another strange thing is that the actual DC can connect to itself using the UNC \\domain.name. What could be the problem? And yes, I made sure that the XP machines are using the correct internal DNS. I can ping all machines and the DC by name. XP requires access to the UNC \\domain.name\sysvol to grab the group policies.

Does being a SBC Yahoo DSL customer automatically take away the ads in your emails? I am also a Yahoo Premium member and pay $19.99/year and I am wondering if I need to renew my membership or not to get rid of the ads.

Is it safe to throw out incandescent light bulbs in the trash? I want to properly dispose of them if they are environmentally dangerous. I've tried searching for answers on the web but I can't find any clear answers on this.

I have been eating canned fruits since the canned fruits are already sliced up and ready to eat once you open the can. I read the ingredients and all it is inside is the real fruit, water, and some syrup. Yes, I know the syrup may be bad since it's sugar, but other than that, there are no preservatives in there. Is this still healthy and safe to eat on a daily basis? I also find that the canned fruits are only slightly more expensive than buying the fresh fruit in the product section.

Yes, I am just too lazy to cut up and prepare my own fresh fruit. Popping off a can is easier.

My sister is in Japan right now and found some Gamecube games for the Japanese Gamecube. If she brings them back here to the United States and plays them on her U.S. Gamecube, will they work?

Someone told me that sweating is a good way to "wash out" the toxins in your body and to help cleanse it. Is this true? Please cite any sources or facts.

I am making a little survey in Microsoft Word that I will send electronically to people. The users then send them back to me. Is there a way to export their responses to an Excel spreadsheet? It would make the tallying quicker and easier.

Thanks

I am single and fully employed and am able to put aside $500 a month into a savings account from every paycheck. Is this a decent amount to save every month, or should I be putting in more?

I have a spider in my bathroom that has built a web nest in the corner. Unfortunately, no bugs or insects ever go in my bathroom so the spider will definitely not be catching anything anytime soon. How long will it stay there before it realizes it won't catch anything? It has already been there for about 2-weeks. And yes, it is alive.

I an curious to see how long it will stay there.

I've noticed that many people asking questions on Yahoo! Answers cannot spell correctly and it is driving me nuts!

I have eczema and have noticed that when my arm or hands itch from eczema, pouring really hot water on it feels really good and stops the itching immediately! The downside is that it dries out your hands and can cause it to crack. Why does hot water stop the itching and make it feel good?

I've seen people walk their dog(s) on the sidewalk without a leash, yet the dog never runs out into the street into the traffic. Also, I've seen the owner working out on their yard on the property, but the dog never leaves the perimeter of the property. How does one teach a dog to do this?

I have an old system and I would like to get a PCI RAID controller card so that I can set up mirroring on my two drives. Do I just plug the 2 IDE hard drives into the respective IDE channels on the RAID card and install the OS? I don't need to partition anything fancy (i.e. boot partition), correct?
