So have seen 3 black dogs in different cities very far apart within the last few weeks. The first appeared when my grandmother went on vacation. I was worried someone would break into her house while she was gone, but the next day the dog showed up and stayed in front of the house the whole week. I saw another a few weeks later wondering the streets while coming home from work. I saw one today coming towards me while I was driving thru a busy intersection. I found plenty of info re: black dogs in dreams, but not real life. These were all black labs. Am I gonna die soon lol?

Is it just me or do a lot of redheaded women have lisps? Not a bad thing, adorable actually.

I have a Sony SVE14A35CXH laptop. I believe the hard drive that is currently installed is a Toshiba 750GB SATA 5400RPM. It crashed and I need to replace. I have never replaced one. The actual replacing is easy enough, but have some questions:

1. Do I need to mess with the BIOS in anyway or install any software (other than the OS software I have on disc)?

2. Aside from being SATA and physically fitting in the computer, how do I know which HD to choose?

Any additional tips are greatly appreciated!

They have the season 5 pre-order available, but I am not sure when we can start watching/downloading. Anybody know??

I am at work with a 27 year old broad talking about her love life. I want to kick in her in the face and punch her in the throat. Don't you hate self-absorbed, immature "women"?

I recently had my California license suspended due to a failure to appear in court (yes I'm an idiot).

Will my insurance drop me because of this?

I am still paying my car off as well. If my insurance drops me, will that affect my car loan?

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Don't know why...wondering if anyone else hates it as much as I.

Did anyone notice that they censored the Simpons tonight?

Homer is taking to a personal trainer, and he says something like:

"Well you don't always have time to [beep]"

Just wondering if anyone else noticed.

This question is for any Virgo ladies out there. What do you usually look for in men?

Looking into getting a keyboard(musical) but don't want anything too fancy. Just need something that sounds decent, has the "teaching" software, and can record. Any suggestions?

Getting a new car (maybe). Just wondering if springing for leather is worth it.

Looking for some new (old) music. Wondering what Thelonis Monk record would be good. Heard a little bit, but don't know anything about his music. I know the "greatest hits" record is a good choice, but I'd prefer to experience an actual album.

Thanks to anyone who fills this out!...and to anyone that responds at all.

I am thinking about opening a store specializing in Foreign DVD's/Music/electronics. If anyone has any advice/experience/resources that can help with this particular type of business, I would greatly appreciate the info.

Found the below article today. No real question. Just want to hear some thoughts on it.

Some one I know may have to take a drug test in the next week. Anyone have any good tips on passing a drug test(i.e. the name any GNC type product used successfully or home remedies).*

*And, yes, the person in question knows that NOT doing drugs is usually the best way.

I have not yet seen the knife; an associate of my friend is going to have it Sunday. Anyone know what I should be looking at in order to determine the true value? Web links or advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
