4 AnswersBoard Games10 years agoWhat is the largest size jeans The Buckle has in stores?
I want to get some Silver or BKE jeans, but I like to try them on before ordering online. I'm a size 12 or 14 (depending on brand, rise, fit). I know that some places only carry up to a certain size in store, so I want to make sure they will even have my size before I make the trip. (And yes, I know I could call them, but it's midnight right now.) Thanks in advance!

4 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoPS3 and laptop - IP address conflict?
My laptop and ps3 both use wireless internet. Some times, there is no problem with having them both online at the same time. Other times, I will have an IP address conflict and the laptop will kick the ps3 offline. I've tried to search for a solution, most of which say "you need to change the IP address for the ps3". Can someone please tell me how to do this, or provide another solution? Thanks in advance!
3 AnswersPlayStation1 decade agoWhere to buy cute clothes for people in late 20s/early 30s?
I'm looking for somewhere to buy some cute and trendy, yet simple and inexpensive clothes. I don't want to look like I'm 29-pretending-to-be-16. I don't like the short cropped sweaters, and I'm 'well endowed', so things that are cut to accentuate the chest often end up well above where it's supposed to be. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
3 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoCountry song sang by young girl 2003/2004ish?
I don't remember a lot about this song, which is why I'm having a hard time. The song came out in 2003-2004 and was sang by a young girl, in her early teens. The song was about someone who had died and how she was feeling about it.
Sorry I have so little to go on, but I'm hoping someone can help me out with the title. Thanks!
2 AnswersCountry1 decade agoHow do I keep my dog from peeing on the floor when I leave?
Every time I leave, I return home to find tiny pee puddles on the floor. He does this every time, even if I'm only gone for 10 minutes or so, and even if he was recently let out to use the bathroom. I don't know why he does this or how to make him stop. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
4 AnswersDogs1 decade agoCall an exterminator about house flies?
We just moved into a house about 2 weeks ago. The house was empty for over a year (foreclosure). Now that the weather is warming up, I'm finding house flies everywhere. LOTS of them. They are usually dead along the window sills upstairs, but it is so gross! I have no idea where they are coming from, there is no garbage anywhere and I keep my house clean. Should I call an exterminator or will they eventually go away? What can I do to get rid of them?

How is a VA loan different than an FHA loan, in terms of interest rates and how the property is appraised? Do they have the same standards, or is one more lenient than another? Which one would be the best bet for a mortgage? Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded the free trial of Diner Dash 2, but when I try to install it, I get a message that says it's not compatible with my operating software. Although the system requirements say it's compatible with Vista. And original Diner Dash works...
Any way to fix this? Thanks!
4 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoWhat color to paint a room with brown carpet?
We are going to be buying a house that has a brown-ish color carpet in the living room. See picture here: http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s30/amy8026/?ac...
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what color to paint the walls in the living room. We have light tan furniture, so it will be basically brown on brown. Green usually goes well with brown, but because of the green carpet in the hallway, I'm afraid green wouldn't work. Any suggestions? (Other than the obvious choice of buying new furniture or replacing the carpet, as it will be a while before either of those are a realistic option.)
Thanks!

2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoGetting carpets professionally cleaned?
My husband and I are considering buying a house, and if we buy it, we would like to have the carpets professionally cleaned before moving in. The carpeting is older, but in decent condition, some visible dirt, no big stains or pet smells. A good cleaning would help tremendously, and it will be a while before we would be able to put new carpet in.
The house is a foreclosure and has been closed up for quite some time, so it has a musty smell to it. Several of the professional cleaning companies offer carpet 'deodorizing' as an additional option. Would the standard cleaning be enough to get rid of the musty smell or is the deodorizing really worth paying the extra money for? I'm just wondering if it's one of those things that companies throw in to try to get you to pay extra for, but isn't really necessary.
5 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoWhat can you do when someone steals copyrighted content?
Someone stole a copyrighted image from my blog (which has a disclaimer in the sidebar saying that all content is copyrighted and may not be reused or republished without written permission from me).
I contacted them and asked them to remove my image, as they do not have my permission to republish it. They commented with a smart *** answer and slapped a "censored by ---" banner over a small portion of the image.
That does not count as 'removing my image', so what should my next step be?
Thanks in advance.

4 AnswersDrama1 decade agoHow do you check the reputation of an online college/university?
I would like to go back to school, but the only way I can do it at this time would be to do 100% of it online. There are several colleges and universities that offer online programs, but how do know which schools are reputable and which ones are crap? Is there a website (or websites) where I can check into this? I've tried Googling it, but there are just too many results to wade through.
Thanks in advance!

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoComputer is running slow...?
My computer is running super slow. I've already checked for viruses and spy/adware, and I'm ok there. I removed a bunch of programs that were never used. I haven't run a defrag yet, but am headed there.
But I usually have anywhere from 50-60 processes running in the background, most of which I have no idea what they are. How do I know which processes need to be running, which ones can be shut down, and how do I keep the unnecessary ones from starting up automatically every time I restart my computer?
Thanks!
