My volume and network icons disappeared from my taskbar.?
When I right click the taskbar and click on show system icons it brings me to a thing where I can choose power, network, volume, and clock. Power and clock are checked off. The network and volume are not checked off, but they're gray so I can't check them off either. I dont understand why they disappeared or how to get them back. I'm going crazy here.
3 AnswersOther - Computers1 decade agoCan I get married in any church?
I've been a member of my lutheran church since I was born. Our pastor baptized myself and both of my brothers and my daughter. Now I'm getting married and I want my pastor to marry me. Problem: He just retired.
He cannot come back to our church to marry me, so I'm wondering if I can get married in a different church by my own Pastor? Does that work at all?
4 AnswersWeddings1 decade agoGemini and Cancer relationship?
The gemini is a woman and the cancer is a male. Everything I find says it won't work, we aren't compatible, etc. etc.
Except it says that the gemini is all about freedom and being out and playing the game and not wanting commitment and everything that the twins are.
And the cancer says he should be emotional and nurturing and all that.
Except that's opposite. I'm the one that's always been about long-term and commitments and he's the fickle one who wants to go out and have a good time.
I'm just curious why we really aren't anything like what gemini and cancer says we should be?
Also, we've been together for 6+ years and are getting married next september so clearly it CAN work and i know obviously horoscopes and astrology cant be exact but i just find it interesting HOW wrong it really is.
Any thoughts?
2 AnswersHoroscopes1 decade agoIs this mole cancerous?
I have a mole on my back that has been there forever. I'd like to point out right now that its on my shoulder blade and sits under my bra strap constantly. So basically, I'm trying to figure out if these symptoms are just because the mole is irritated from the material, or if it may be cancerous.
The mole is raised now, think, like a pimple that needs to be popped. Instead of more flat like it used to be. It can also be quite painful, but the pain comes and goes. Some days it hurts, and other days not at all. It also feels like a different texture. Like, a scab. And yesterday there was a red ring around the mole on the skin.
Does this sound cancerous? Or could this just be irritation?
If it was cancerous, if this something that I should be worried about? Or would they just cut it off, end of story?
2 AnswersSkin Conditions1 decade agoIsn't a 4 year old too young for the six flags safari?
My daughter's father wants to take her to the safari at six flags in nj for her birthday. But she's only 4. I just think that's too young for the animals to be all over the car and all that.
Am I right? Has anyone taken a small child to this?
3 AnswersAmusement Parks1 decade agoHow long does it take to establish credit?
My boyfriend has no credit and we're trying to qualify for a mortgage. We really want to buy a house by like November so we can qualify for the first time buyer credit.
If he got a credit card like today, that would be about 4 months. Is this enough time to get a score?
Also, he can't get approved because he has no credit, will a secured credit card give the same credit as a regular card?
3 AnswersCredit1 decade agoHow to ask for a raise in a letter?
When I was hired, I was told that after 90 days I would recieve a $2 raise based on my performance.
This was in January and I've never gotten the raise. I have been told by people who have been there a year and a half or so that they've never gotten raises. But I'm not going to sit back and not get a raise simply because no one else has asked for one.
I was hired in January with about 5 other people, I'm the only one left. Everyone else has quit or been fired. I have also gone from just an operator to a dispatcher, and even worked a double, covering the overnight shift by myself when the usual overnight guy called out.
They obviously trust my work to allow me to work the shift entirely alone.
But I work weird hours and pretty much never see management. So how can I put my request into a letter? What would I say?
3 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment1 decade agoHow do I send a message to another computer?
I remember in middle school sending messages to each other's computers while sitting in the computer lab using commands. But I don't remember how we did it. I want to see if I can do it at work, and I know I'd need like a computer name or something, where would I find that? And what command do I use?
5 AnswersOther - Computers1 decade agoWhere does the desktop manager come from with the Blackberry Storm?
Ok, I just bought my very first blackberry. And I'm learning about apps and what not. I understand how to add them using OTA. But I can't figure out how to do it using my computer. I understand I need to open a desktop manager, but where does this come from? Is this software that I need to download onto my computer ahead of time? When I plug my phone into the computer, it finds it, it updates software or something, but nothing pops up. So IDK if my computer is just not finding it, or if its something I need download off the web.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
2 AnswersPDAs & Handhelds1 decade agoWhat would cause red blotches and flesh colored bumps on hands/in between fingers?
Lately I have been noticing red blotches in between my fingers. It comes and goes and it's always in between different fingers.Sometimes it itches, right now it actually hurts. It's like a burning. If you feel, it feels slightly raised and the bumps are skin colored with red all around.
What could this be?
2 AnswersSkin Conditions1 decade agoIs it possible I'm going to get pregnant?
Okay. I have just about a perfect 28 day cycle because of my birth control. Unfortunately I forgot to put the ring in this month, so who knows what this month is going to do. But. I had sex on day 6 of my cycle. And we messed up. So from what I understand sperm can live for 3-5 days, or even a week some people say. Even if it's a week that brings me to day 13, and I shouldn't even be ovulating yet. So by the time I ovulate, all the sperm should be dead and gone, and I should be fine.
I just want to double check that the information I believe is correct, and that my chance of pregnancy is slim at this point.
7 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoCan this texting be considered cheating?
My boyfriend of over 5 years is a habitual sex texter. He's never physically cheated on me, nor has he emotionally. And the texting is consistently with different girls. He never talks to the same person for more than about 2 days. And all the conversations are basically exactly the same. "What's your favorite position, What are you into, Do you have threesomes, etc etc" Over the 5 years he's probably done this with about 12 different girls. When we were younger, it was worse. In the past 2 years, he's done it 3 times.
I think it's some sort of mixature of liking the attention and having something like interactive porn, its like he can visualize it in his head, and they talk back.
I'd like to add that these are girls that he does not know in real life. He finds them online, and them e-mails them, or if he gets a number, texts them. He never speaks to them voice to voice and never sees them.
Its frustrating for me and I dont know what to do about this. Is it cheating? Should I be angry?
5 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoI have changed my major a million times, and I really need to make a choice. Help.?
I have gone from Ultrasound, to Beauty school, to History, to Business, to Elementary Education, and I really just don't know. And I don't know how to start to figure it out. Everytime I start to lean one way, I come up with reasons why it's really not what I'm looking for. I can't afford to just sit in school until I finally come up with a major. I'm good at Math, but I can't think of any Math jobs that I'd really be interested in. I jump to teaching at times, but I'm not sure that's the route I want to go either. I've taken the most classes in Business but what am I going to do with that afterwards? I'm not really interested in sitting at a desk. Then I've considered Medical Assisting or something simple but still different, I really just don't know.
How in the world does anyone decide what they want to do? I want to be able to support myself and enjoy what I'm doing. But I don't know what I'll enjoy.
2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)1 decade agoCan I shrink-wrap my mattress?
While in the midst of potty training and being afraid of the dark, my daughter was crawling into my bed in the middle of the night, and has peed in it, more than once. I'm now really creeped out that there's bugs or something disgusting going on, but I really can't afford a new mattress (and this one cost like $800 in the first place,) Can I like, shrink-wrap the bed or something completely air tight to eliminate my fears? How would I do this? haha.
1 AnswerCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoHow to make this bird stop flying into my window?
I have this bird that's been flying into my window for three days now. It seriously taps the window over and over again for hours. It woke me up the past 2 mornings. What boggles my mind is that it starts in the morning while it's still dark. How can it be seeing its reflection when its still dark out? At fist I was worried about the superstitions of it, but now, it's really just irritating. How can I make this bird stop?
10 AnswersBirds1 decade agoCan I send my child to school in a different town?
I'm going to be renting an apartment in one town, but I want my daughter to go to school in the town where my mom owns a house (and where I grew up.) I know the theory is that you don't pay taxes in that town so they don't want your kid to go to school there, but do you even pay taxes to any town if your renting? And is there a way to send her to school in the other town then? How would I go about finding out? Like who do I contact?
Also, her father lives in the town I want her to go to school in, would that play a role?
2 AnswersOther - Education1 decade agoHow do you become a teacher in NJ?
I've been in school for a couple years and so far my main focus has been business. I'm thinking about going for teaching, or a guidance counselor, in a highschool. How do I do this?
For teaching, do I major in a subject and then get certified? Or is there a quicker more direct "teaching" major?
If I was going to be a guidance counselor, what would I major in? Psychology? Teaching? I'm just not sure.
2 AnswersTeaching1 decade agoWhat's the average child support payment for a month for 1 child?
I have a 3 year old and I'm no longer with her dad. We're civil and we have a nice arrangement worked out so we didn't have to go to court.
I have her everyday. He takes her Tuesday and Thursday nights from like 4-9. And his mom spends Fridays with her. She goes over around noon and stays until about 9. They also keep her overnight really occasionally.
He gives me about $250 a month. Her preschool tuition is $200 a month, and we're going to put her into gymnastics this year. It just doesn't feel like enough money. I don't pay rent, but I have other bills. And I buy all of her clothes and food.
Is $250 a month normal? Or is this low?
28 AnswersParenting1 decade agoBrand new hot dog package, are they bad?
We just bought a package of hot dogs, Dietz + Watson, from Acme last night and the "best by" date is March 26. But when I put them out on a plate, they were slimy and sticky. My boyfriend cooked one and ate it and said it was fine, but I won't touch them.
Are they bad? I read somewhere they might just be preserved in something that makes them feel like that, but IDK.
They were brand new, and the date isnt until next week.
4 AnswersOther - Food & Drink1 decade agoCan this LDR actually work out?
I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend on and off for about 5 years. He is my first love and we got together my freshman year of highschool. Of the 5 years we've actually only been together 3 of them. And at times things have been rocky. But, for the past year and a half we've both matured and have had a really fabulous relationship. He moved in about 6 months ago and he gave me an absolutely gorgeous promise ring. We've decided to get engaged when we finish our bachelor's degrees.
Now the trouble, he's going to go to Florida for 2 years to get his degree, and I'm in New Jersey. LDR's are hard as is, adding to the fact that we've had trouble in our past, I know it's going to take ALOT of work. And that's fine. He is the love of my life and I know that we can spend our lives together.
But everything I read about tips and tricks and helpful stuff to make a LDR work, is basing off of a couple that starts out as a LDR. We're going from living together, to being apart for 2 years.
Can this work? And what would be good advice to help with such a big change in the relationship?
It feels like we've fought so hard to get to such a great place and now we're going to risk all that. I just need some reassurance, tips, suggestions, anything.
