  • How to activate Microsoft Professional 2007?

    I bought a brand new, still in the package, Microsoft Professional 2007, that I need for school. First, the CD had a small scratch on it, so it would not load that way. So I went to microsoft's website and downloaded the trial version (yes I did the correct one, not the "plus" version as someone else asked me). After I got the trial version activated, I then tried to get the actual version activated by putting in the product key, which came back as "invalid".

    Is there another way to activate this or do I just need to yell at the store I bought it from?

  • Am I crazy for wanting a PPL at age 30?

    I am 28 years old now and going back to school (not in aviation). I was considering learning to fly when I am done with school (when I can afford it hopefully..lol). About ten years ago, I did get a medical exam done and was issued a class 3 student (I think that's what it is called). I can only see out of one eye (20/300 vision), so I know I would never get a job as a commercial pilot (but that's ok because I want to do this for fun).

    I have no family members who know how to fly (most are afraid of heights, including my husband!) and all of them are telling me no, don't do it. I have taken the intro lesson three times (three different years) and LOVED every minute of it. I do not know much about the mechanics, but I am willing to learn whatever I need to know. Money issues was always the reason I had to not take these classes (I would save up $10,000 and something BIG would happen and I would have to restart saving again (nothing medical, things like house fire, robbery, etc).

    About a week ago, a friend of mine scheduled a flight from nyc to cleveland and I was able to sit in the cockpit with the pilot and they showed me how to turn and go up and down (they let me do the controls, but I don't think they were suppose to? lol). Of course I didn't do the take off and landing, but I felt at home in the air. When I was not in the cockpit area, I was glued to the window admiring the clouds and night lights of the city. The turbulence didn't bother me at all (which felt like an old school bus driving over potholes...lol).

    Anyways, I was wondering if it sounds ridiculous for me at age 30 (probably can't take lessons until then) to want to take these lessons just for fun? Also, could you name some of the biggest aircraft's that you are able to fly with just a private license? I'm not sure if I would be able to do multi-engines or just single engines?

  • How to get start up funds for a non profit...?

    I want to start a non-profit organization to refurbish old school buildings or old apartment buildings to make livable spaces for families that need somewhere to live while they are trying to further thier education. (either college or some type of training program).

    I have known many people who just didn't go to any training after highschool because they couldnt afford to pay the bills, eat, & have enough time for studies afterwards. I want to beable to give them cheaper living space so they can acieve a higher level of living. (example: husband goes to college full time while wife works part-time and takes care of kids). I would charge rent at a reduced rate & that money would go back into the program.

    I just dont know how to get the start up funds to refurbish the first building. I know plenty of people who would help with the labor, but no one is able to help finacially. Any advice?

  • Can someone steal your eBay name?

    Lately, I started to sell on eBay again, & now I keep getting all kinds of weird emails saying they are from eBay, but they are not. It will be from people who have questions about an item I had for sale, but I know my item #'s & they emailed me the wrong one! Also, I am unable to login into eBay now. It says that I have the wrong password. I filled out the "get a new password" on eBay website & recieved 2 emails back! One I think was from eBay & the other looked like the eBay email, but it seemed wrong. The items I was selling are no longer listed! The time still had 3 days to go (according to yesterday). I emaile support at eBay, still waiting on the response.

    What steps do you do to help fix this problem?

  • I was thinking of starting a group for people with mild depression in central Florida...?

    Just so people will have a place to vent. To let people tell thier story that they may not tell thier friends / family, but want someone to talk to (for free). I know sometimes I wish I had someone to talk to. So, I was hoping to have a group together where we can all become "group budies" & try to releave stress & old bad thoughts out of our minds.

    How can I start this? I'm not sure if I could find people who feel the same way. Is there a website to help with start-up that is a decent website, not one that sells books on this subject?

  • How to get people to buy a cruise vacation?

    I now have a website for people to buy travel online (I'm a new travel agent). I was thinking of advertising in newspapers for a "special" price on a cruise. Do people actually buy cruises they see listed in the newspaper or should I think of something else? I wanted to offer a discount package for people in the midwest that would include airfare & the cruise (from florida to the bahamas). Any suggestions???

  • What was the name of the PEPSI drink that had guaranara in it?

    It was in sold sometime between 1995 & 1998. It had a cougar (or some type of black cat) on the label. I was living in Ohio during that time (if that helps anyone). I remember the kids saying that the gauranara would make the girls friskey. (not true, it never worked! lol).

  • What should I do? I'm bored with my man!?

    I am 25, he is 28. We have known each other for about 10 years & lived together for 4 years. When we first met, I had a BF. We broke up only because he had to move away. I have tried to date others after that, but had no luck. Since then, I moved in w/ this guy I live with now. It was fun at 1st. Now, all he does is go to work, watch TV, & sleep. He only talks to me when he wants sex & he arguees everytime I mention we need to pay bills. I have lost my appitite for sex & don't spend time with any friends (we moved to a new state, so I have no new friends yet). I feel lonely & chat online with that ex-bf I mentioned before. I have no excitment in my life. I don't feel loved anymore, even tho he says he does love me. I know he is a good guy, but he is so darn lazy! Since he has gained weight (from doing nothing, including me!), I feel like he doesn't respect me. I have asked him if we could exercise together he says NO & chane subject or ignores me again! Should I leave for a new man?

  • How to get more business travelers to my site?

    I will have my travel site up & running soon (travel agency). I want to offer an aditional 5% off for all business travels. What is a good approach to get companies to use my services? Should I just use the yellow pages? Should I mail brochures? I don't like "cold calling" anyone. I am not the best at "presure selling". I love telling people what I love & belive in (example: I can tell them the perks of a good vacation, what to do & where to do it! Even best time of year to do it!). I need help in marketing! Any ideas on a start-up to get more customers to my website (besides search engines)???

  • Should I write a book or a screenplay?

    It is loosely based on a true story. It is about a young girl who was having problems with her family, so she sneaked out of her house & met a group of new friends. There is romance, violence, sadness, & forgivness. I may be able to make a series of books with this story. It is a work in progress, so I can't give the whole plot away!

    Is it easier to have a book then turn it into a screenplay or vis versa?

    Who should I get to edit it?

    How many pages is too many pages for a book?

    Is a screenplay really only 20 pages long?

    Is it better to publish the book yourslef?

    Is it better to copyright the book yourself or go through an angency?

    If you can answer any of my questions, I would appreaciate it!

  • I'm 25 female & don't want sex anymore. Is this normal?

    The last time I actually wanted sex was when I was 18. I had this one night stand with a male friend of mine (he was Australian & I couln't resist his voice!). That night, I will admit was the BEST night I ever had! I'll just say, it lasted all night & he made sure I was completely "happy". (You girls know most guys will just roll over & fall asleep! lol) Since then, I feel as if I was "too satisfied". I have not wanted sex since! I have had sex since, but no one or nothing seems to get me even wanting to have sex anymore. I'm afraid that I will never expierence a "happy ending" again! The only way I can even have sex now is by thinking of that night! I do live with a guy now, but just feel bad that I can't enjoy ex anymore. Sould I just give up or does someone have avice on something to try? I don't have enough money to keep going to the doctor. HELP!!!
