Thunder

I have wanted to start a thrift shop for a very long time - wanting to raise money for a very long time. I have no idea how to get a non-profit selling license, how to go about signing the charity up, what reports have to be turned into who at what interval, and how to get capital to start. How do I get started and find out these questions?

I have an old Compaq 2100 that the power slot is broken out of and an newer Compaq C500. I need more memory on my newer laptop, and need to know if I can take the memory out of my Compaq 2100 and add it to my Compaq C500. I am not sure what kind of memory each has.

Angry at my wifes lover, I told referred to her as "that lesbian whore". I was upset because I discovered that her lover was moving into our new house, getting free room and board and getting $200 a month spending cash. Well, my wife went straight to her lover, her mother, her brother, and her sister and told them I called her a lesbian whore and called my wife a *****. I never called my wife anything, but nowher lover is very hurt and angry at me, her mother said I am not welcome at her house any longer, and her mother told me that my wifes brother is going to come down and kick my ***.

How do I make ammends after saying such a thing? Also, was my wife right in telling her lover that would hurt so deeply? Finally, how do you deal with your wife having a lesbian lover that is half her age?

My hobby is to create software programs that others can use, but right now I am having programmers block and can't think of what I want to program. Any suggestions? Looking for any kind of software you can't find? Have an idea for something new? Please help me out and if I use your idea, you could get free software!

I know a Software Developer that is going to put out all of his software FREE for one year. The only obligation is to use the software and post problems you may have. Then, you will be guaranteed to get the full versions of the software (Games, utilities, etc.). His problem is that he only wants serious people to apply, so I told him that many times companies charge for testing software. How much do you think a membership would be worth to get free software for a year?

I have been married for 10 years come January. Most of it has been wonderful, but lately I can't seem to take it any longer. I love my wife with all my heart, and I don't want to get divorced. Every time I try and say something, though, she tells me I am yelling. I try and tell her that I am just talking and she tells me I am defensive. I try to talk about the children, and she cuts me off and gets upset with me. After trying to tell her what I am thinking and getting cut off and yelled at, I get upset and start yelling back. Then she says I am getting out of control and tells me she is going to spend the night at her mother's house.

I don't know what to do. Sometimes it seems like I can't please her for anything, and other times I am getting frustrated over her. I can't get her to communicate in a positive way, and most the time she doesn't want to touch me or kiss me. My marriage is on the shambles. How can I get her to realize she is the most important thing to me?!

I can draw pretty good (anything but people), and I can paint with pastels, and I can paint my woodburnings nicely but I am having problems with painting. I have bought the Donna Dewberry series and most of the time can do a semi-decent flower, but I want to paint landscapes, animals, birds, clouds, etc. Whenever I try, it comes out... shall we say... cartoonish. Any suggestions?
