I was at level 4 this morning, I know I didn't answer 80 questions today. But during the course of the day I moved up to level 5. When I went to answer a question it is telling me that I have reached my limit for the answering questions.

Any ideas why this would be?

I have a large item I am trying to ship. The item itself is 6 ft. x 4 ft.

The box is about 3.5 feet x 4.5 feet and it is about 3 inches in widt. It weight 13 pounds.

I've priced this package through USPS and it says I cannot ship it through USPS. On USPS I am getting a quote for $185.00 to $310.00 and Fedex is quoting me $302.00. DHL is quoting $104.00 to $153.00.

I understand that this is a large package. But am I mis-calculating these costs or is there any better, more affordable way to ship this?

Thanks so much!

I've been using Gmail since it first came out. I've had problems in the past that fixed themselves. This has been hapening for a week and I cannot find what to do.

When I go to Gmail, no matter if I type it in go through my account, etc. The white page with the word loading comes up. Then it just keeps switching the URL back and forth to something, to fast to read. In the lower left corner it will say done and then swtich to something else I cannot read. It just keeps doing this as long as I leave the screen up.

Also, sometimes when I type in Gmail it says the security certificate has expired. I am able to get into my account from another computer, just not the laptop I normally use.

I've emptied temp files and history twice. I haven't deleted cookies though. If I do this will I lose all the passwords I have stored?

I read someone changed their system time in order for it work, but I'm not sure what that means.

Google emailed once, but it didn't work, emailed back no reply.

Not obsessed with music, but I would like to take my songs with me instead of taking CD's. I was originally wanting something with video as well, but am going to probably wait to get a more expensive PVP later. Most mp3 players with video don't hook up to TV to record and that is what I am looking for.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've had one as long as I can remember. It is to the point I buy several packs of pens every weekend. I hate using the pens though because of the ink running out. I prefer to look at them. I also love pencils and other office supplies as well, just not quite as much. Plus, my favorite store is Staples, because it is the only office supply store near me. I would probably love all the others just as much if they were near me. Not sure why, just a satisfaction I get out of it.

Does anyone else feel the same way? If so, what is your favorite pen, pencil, supply, etc?

I know its weird, just wanted to see if anyone else has similar feelings.

My eight hundred number is on my second line, but I also have a regular phone number on the line. Is there any way to tell if the caller is using my regular number or 800 number.

I know there is a service I can buy through the company, but I was looking for more of a one time buy. I didn't know if there was a light or something I could hook up to it that would only light if it was that number.

Thanks so much

Hi, my brother has a 2005 chevy aveo. He is only averaging about 16 miles per gallon, on a good tank. We have had it serviced several times and they cannot find anything wrong. He mostly does in town driving and only about 2-5 miles per day average, sometimes more.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? A person he works with has an 05' and it is doing the same thing. I read reviews online of the '04 and everyone seems to be getting great mileage, I've not seen anything for the 05'. I have an 05' Chevy Malibu Maxx and I am getting better than he is.

If you could give me any tips or advice I would really appreciate it.

I am trying to lose some weight. Right now I am doing a 2 day detox before I start. But I just need some advice. I am always on the run and it is hard to find the time to make a meal, so I just want to see if these are the right type of food.

Morning- a piece of fruit with a breakfast lean pocket, or toast and egg substitute with fruit.

Snack- vegetables, fruits, low-cal snacks, under 100 cals from chips ahoy, etc.

Lunch- Turkey sandwich on lite bread, with lettuce and vegetables

Snack- same as above

Dinner- Large ice burg lettuce salad with carrots, cauliflower, a few nuts, fat free italian dressing, a few ff croutons, 3 oz chicken, light cheese.

Snack- Under 50 calories.

Plus lots of water.

I love soda and have always drank diet soda, so would I be stopping my weight loss to drink a glass of diet soda at night.

Also, is it true that baked potatoes are good to have on a diet with nothing on them. I love taters.

I'm kind of following the 3 hour diet, is this any good?

I am looking to purchase a new camcorder. I currently own a panasonic VHS-C camcorder. Right now I am recording on these tapes and then dubbing them with my DVD recorder.

I run my own website and I want to put videos on my website. Here is what I would need:

- Good night recording, for fireworks and such

- Good day quality recording

- Image stabilization

- Good sound recording

- Fairly easy to use

- Prefer small over large body

- Ability to put video onto website pretty easily, not a must

- Good battery life

- Good zoom

Still photos are not important to me.

I heard that with Mini DV you can plug into DVD recorder with a cable and record the video onto the DVD. I was originally looking into a DVD-cam, but the DVD-cam reviews don't seem to be good. I don't know which I should get. I'm also not sure which models are the best.

I prefer to stay under $400, so I would like to know the best models under $400, I'm willing to go higher, so better models would be welcome.

I am trying desperately to lose weight. I'm 18 and have struggled with weight all my life. I would love to lose about 130 and need to do so in order to be healty. I have tried every diet in the past from low carb, to low cal and fat. I do not eat much and gain a lot more weight than what I take in. I am one string from giving up and I am desperate. I am going to give another try to weight loss and this time I am planning to use a supplement to assist me. I am also considering doing the hollywood diet on the weekends to help. I went to the store and seen all of the different supplements and just really don't know what is best. If you could help me I would really appreciate it.
