The desktop is an HPE 410-Y, so it's basically five years old with an out of date graphics card and a 300W power supply. Also, the keyboard is starting to act up. The desktop is pretty much used for gaming and posting story updates. I use my phone or nook most of the time for the internet.

Would it be easier just to upgrade the graphics card, power supply AND a new keyboard...

OR

Simply buy a new desktop that can handle playing Sims 3 and all sorts of Hidden Object games; and of course posting story updates.

I have a pearl necklace that belonged to my great-great grandmother. Here's what I do know:

1. The pearls are genuine as they have a grittiness to them

2. They have a soft, cream color to them

3. They're on a soft, silver strand (still in perfect condition)

4. They're about 2-4mm in size; my grandmother was a small woman

5. 60 pearls

6. The latch is pure gold and there is a 14K stamped on it with a tiny "M" right next to it

7. They came to my grandmother in 1925; there's a painting of her in the foyer wearing the pearls

Any idea?

I bought the Bose QuietComfort 15 back in October of '11. Unfortunately, I'm getting a bunch of static bursts in the left ear, and it's annoying. I suffer from Bipolar Assertive Disorder (Maniac Type) and of course, Asperger's Syndrome.

The Bipolar affects my sleep patterns, making it harder for me to fall asleep and actually stay asleep. While the Asperger's Syndrome, which is a form of high functioning autism, causes my hearing to be much more sensitive.

So, I need to find out if I should replace my headphones with something else? Seeing as I'm surrounded by two drunken idiotic neighbors, and way too many brats. I can't do jack about those two drunken freaks, seeing as everyone in the cul-de-sac is on their side, including the police. So, I'm stuck wishing and dreaming the day when those two freaks actually die.

Anyway, can someone let me know?

I need some help here! I know, due to my Asperger's Syndrome, I react differently to noise. I CAN'T stand loud noises; I panic and slip into a hysterical fit. Unfortunately, I'm surrounded by screaming kids; damn brats, and neighbors who blast their music at inhuman levels.

I already called the cops twice on this guy; and this was after I asked him in the past to turn his music down, instead he turns it UP. Gah, I'm going completely insane! I just want something that can completely block out those shrieking monkies and that stupid music.

Unfortunately, my health is getting affected by this and I need to stop it, ASAP!

Please help!!

I know that this may seem a little petty. But, that twit jo bel, has returned to fanfiction.net as well as her sick, demented cousin. I am tired of having to deal with this gutter trash. And since she went and gave away her phone number, think I should take this straight to her parents? Cause she sure as hell doesn't seem to understand that we don't want her there. You would think after having that trash deleted three times and loosing the account twice, would tell her to leave.

So, should I call the parents? Because I am this close to doing so.

There is a bigoted, racist here on fanfiction.net; and is an embarrassment to writers everywhere. They can't spell and their grammar is terrible. This person is also extremely insulting. Since I pointed out their mistakes, and recommend that they go back to school and re-learn proper grammar and English, they have done nothing but insult me. Here is what they told me this morning, word for word (and I apologize for it):

"U SUK! 1111111111. Y DO U HAV 2 B SO MEEN 2ME?!1111111111 UR probably jus som gaeho! 11111 LUSER!"

Unquote.

Someone mind telling me how I can get this ungrateful little **** off the site, seeing as how they've been reported multiple times? This person is really beginning to try my patentice. Also, here's their site profile:

And, apparently I'm not the only one complaining about this person. Trust me, you'll find their profile rude and insulting.

At 8:35 pm on 8/31, I experienced something rather unusual. As I reached to turn my cell phone off, I experienced a very sharp pain that hit me in the middle of my spine, before hitting me in the chest, then my heart.

I mean, I know that heart disease, cancer and diabetes runs in my family; but would that have something to do with it? Or could there have been something lingering from a job/class thing back in '09? Back in '09, I took a five week course at a large Good Will in Frederick, MD; only one problem....the building had a lot of dust, and I'm pretty sure that there was mold somewhere in that building, and I had to use a breathing mask once!

Anyway, does someone have an idea? I'll be going to the doctor's about it next Tuesday afternoon.

I went on fanfiction.net earlier today and I found some idiot was passing off two of MY stories as their own. The idiot is "darknekowarrior", and they're insisting that they used to be "YamiPanther", which is utter bullshit!

Here's my problem, what the hell am I supposed to do? Should I get the idiot kicked off for trying to pass of my stories as their own? Or am I supposed to do something else? Could really use some help here people!

Can someone please tell me how to make a proper banana smoothie? I have tried to do it twice, and both times it wounded up horrible.

Alright, for the first time ever, my mum has the money for us to do Halloween Decorations. Now, I'm dying to touch up the house so I can scare the **** out of those useless brats; and believe me, they're really bratty.

I've measured our front yard; and it's huge!

From the transformer to the flower bed; which is the edge of our driveway: 13 ft, 10 in

From the garage door to the end of the driveway: 43 ft

From the stairs to the end of the driveway: About 30 ft

From the fence to the end of the driveway: roughly 69 ft; it's the same on the other side.

And well, I was kinda hoping for either a dark, creepy forest scene

OR

I can do something out of a graveyard.

Any ideas on how I can go about this?

P.S. Got any good ideas for music?

I'm 24

And well, after 21 years, I was finally able to pick out my new bedroom furniture. It's a sleigh style bed with a tall, dresser, a small nightstand and a writing desk. Now, the way things are going my room is sort of the Colonial/Victorian type; and I need to find out what colors will go best with not only the furniture; but with the new bed sheets and covers, as well.

The covers and pillows are black with white and grey circles

The sheets are white with black and grey circles

Now, I was leaning towards a shade of white for the walls and ceiling and some sort of brown for the baseboard and the rims around the door and window.

Any clues to what shades I should use?

I'm currently playing "Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders" for DS, and I'm having trouble with this one riddle. Here's what it says:

Mr. Strange swears that he picked up Crust in the Whitecross Hotel at Eastbourne on the evening of July 24th. After dinner, he and Cust, who says he was a complete pushover, spent the rest of the evning, until well after midnight, doing the following "NESMOODI"

I need to use every letter, and I've tried everything. Somebody mind helping a girl out?

Alright, with my grandfather being dead, my grandmother is planning his funeral. One little problem, though; she's going about it all wrong!

Here's what she's doing:

1. Cremate his body

2. No flowers, wreathes or even a flag

Ya see, my grandfather once fought in a war; not sure which one, but she refuses to put up any flowers, wreathes or even a military flag. And all she's doing, is pissing off everyone else in the family.

What should I do?

My grandfather passed away during the night, and I have no idea on how I should be treating my grandmother, mother, aunt and uncle. I mean, I'm not even phased by his death, just bored, annoyed and kinda glad.

Any ideas?

I need some help in banning an annoying goody-too shoes from my stories on fanfiction.net

Some brat named "The Karate Berry Kid" threatened to report me about two of my stories; which in my opinion, is utter bull ****! My pen name on the site is "kouhiofdoragons", and said stories are "The Ulitmate Journey V2" and "The Road to Redemption".

One problem, I've been too busy to post any updates for some of my stories. The last two years I've completed quite a few things with having little time for anything else:

1. Three paint by number kits; all were 20x16" paintings (one even took 14 months to complete)

2. Completed a 6 week program at Good Will

3. Search the net and town for a job

4. Attending classes at the local community college

As you can see from above, I have had little time for much else.

So, does anyone have any idea about how I can ban this dipshit from reading my stories on fanfiction.net?

I'm 24.

Now, I need to know what needs to be done first when working on fixing up a room.

Most of our rooms carries some sort of damage; usually water damage and peeling paint. Also, there are bright white patches splattered on every wall, except for the hallway bathroom and the basement.

Should I sand the walls, paint then seal cracks?

Or do I sand the walls, seal the cracks then paint?

I'll be doing most of the work on our house; except for the floors, the kitchen, living room and the basement.

Also, what kind of paint should I use? The previous contractor who worked on this house, used really cheap paint. And what do I need to do, to keep the new paint from peeling?

And what about warm, neutral colors for the house? I refuse to paint everything bright white; which is what my mom wants.

I got the Nintendo Wii mid June, and well; I've tried hooking it up wireless through my router. Instead, I only knocked the Internet out completely. The router is next to the computer that we keep in the basement, and the Wii is hooked up to my TV in my room; which is up on the second floor.

Any idea on how I can connect the two without loosing the Internet completely?

Also, the router is a Linksys Wireless-G; model: WRT54GS

I'm 24, and I need a little help with colors for my bedroom.

I have a 12x9 room with a clunky ceiling fan, a carpet floor, a window with useless blinds, closet doors that are slightly battered. Now, can these colors work out, without the room being too gaudy?

1. Deep Purple

2. Rich rubies

3. Saturated Emerald greens

4. Silver and Gold

5. Black and white

Also, is it possible to replace the ceiling fan with a normal light; and will I be able to install it myself? Or should I get a professional to do everything.

P.S. The carpet is going to be replaced with hardwood floor and the furniture will be quite dark.

I plan on giving my entire room a total makeover. First, I plan on removing the carpet and replacing it with dark hardwood floors, I'm also going to remove that annoying ceiling fan and replace it with a much more suitable light. The bedroom door is going to be painted a dark walnut with leafy vines lining the edges of the door; also my closet door is gonna be painted the same color and have a veil of ivy over it. The walls are going to be painted to resemble a forest filled with pine, oak and gnarled trees; soft and wispy grass with Fields of wild flowers and a dirt path leading out to the unknown. The baseboards will have thorny vines with deep blue roses lining them. Also, the ceiling will be painted a light blue with a very faint lavender haze and misty clouds. Glow-in-the-dark stars and galaxies will give it the feeling of camping out. Besides that, I need to add in the price for the furniture.

Just how much money am I looking at?

Also, where should I be looking for, to have someone help me with everything?
