  • BBQ Burner question., Can I set a pie-pan full of water directly on a burner?

    My recipe requires me to put a cheap pie-pan of water over my GAS BBQ Burner while it's set on high. Wont that melt the pie-pan? I'm trying a new way for cooking chicken.

    I have seen several recipes that require something on the burner below the Grate and I haven't tried them.

    Thanks.

  • One of my toilets howls like a banshee when flushed. What's up?

    I have three toilets in my house suddenly one began screeching and howling when I flush. My neighbor says it is my pipes, I think it's something simple like a gasket. Who is right?

    The house is 12 years old. I hope it's nothing major.

  • Hewlett-Packard extortion?

    I purchased a Hewlett-Packard OFFICEJET PRO 8600 last week. After installing the CD that came with it as well as my SSID for my IPAD my computer wont print. I have great printing with my IPAD however (2-sided). I called up several HP help lines (none in the U.S.) and they wanted to charge over $100 a year for my printer to work! They also said that my computer was full of dead files, corrupt files, Temp files and a host of other bugs. I was told that my McAfee was useless. For their price I could have a clean computer always, I was told that once a month someone would call me up and ask how my computer was. Is this the way it's done now? Where can I get a number to HP that will let me print and not have someone berate my 5-year old computer?

    The printer is really nice. I was surprised to have it print 2-sided. I hope I don't have to throw it out.

    In no particular order:

    * Karl Rove

  • How do I delete photos from the New IPAD?

    Ok, I'm new to the IPAD. I did manage to download over 900 photos from PHOTOSHOP. I like the Sideshow, it's a great way for others to view my photos. But there are some that I don't want everyone to see. The EDIT screen is worthless, ROTATE, ENHANCE, RED-EYE, and CROP. The minimal instructions say click on a TRASH CAN. Where is it?

    Thanks.

  • What's a good network name for the New Ipad?

    I'm trying to get my "New Ipad" up and running and I'm having difficulty. To get a network connection I must give it one. There are no options, just a fill-in-the-blank. Also Security is right below the Network connection blank but it gives 5 options. Which one should I choose? Why?

    1, WEP

    2, WPA

    3, WPA2

    4, WPA Enterprise

    5, WPA2 Enterprise

    I wish the Ipad was as user friendly as I was led to believe. Maybe I'll master it soon.

    Thanks

  • "New Ipad" mistake in set up. How do I fix it?

    I just received an Ipad3. While setting it up I was confused by all the options in E-Mail, Browsers, etc, so I simply ignored or checked "none". I figured I could always come back when I know more about the options and choose correctly. Now only a few basic apps are working and I can't find where to choose my settings. HELP!

    Also if you have any favorite settings, I'd be glad to hear from you. To me they are all like hieroglyphics-(SP). I don't do well in a foreign language.

    Thanks.

  • I have an Ipad3 Question?

    Ok. I received an Ipad earlier today. I ordered an Ipad3 with 32G memory. The box it came in simply said "Ipad" on it so I don't know what is in it. Also, there was no documentation at all. I went to the Apple site and downloaded 150 pages of instructions. The instructions said that after I turn it on I should get a "Setup Assistant" All I get is a big "IPAD" on the screen for several seconds then it goes off.. The battery meter in the upper right shows 100%.

    Am I missing something or is this thing a Pig?

    Thanks.

  • Can I transfer my Kindle books to an Ipad3?

    I've been waiting for "Kindle Fire-2" but more and more people tell me I should simply get an Apple Ipad-3. I know it will probably cost more than a Fire-2, but it will probably have more features.

    Any thoughts on my delemma?

  • Reaktek Sound screw-up, how to fix?

    I was looking through my C-Drive one day recently and I saw two Realtek sound files. For one reason or another I thought they were dupes, so I deleted one. BIG MISTAKE! Now my sound is like an echo chamber and I can't fix it. I tried to DL a new file from Realtek and the computer told me I didn't have the correct files for a download.

    How would I go about fixing my sound? Realtek has served me fine for years (until I screwed it up) but if you know of another sound utility, I am open for anything you have. I don't use the sound for high quality things like games or music. I just want basic sound---no echo

    Thanks to all who read about my "incident"

  • Is Michele Bachman a Democratic MOLE?

    The Republican Party has had its share of embarrassing people this electoral season. Chief among these is the ever-present Michele Bachman. While Bachman was running with the TEA PARTY, she was full of zany rhetoric, questionable financing, and colorful right-of-center misunderstanding and confusion which had little relevance to real world America. Taken together her bizarre antics alienated many people, mostly in the Republican Party. I say mostly in the Republican Party because no one else was paying any real attention to her--unless there was food involved. She left the Party a splintered shadow of what it was. Now she is endorsing a candidate who she has said, "He cannot beat Obama. It's not going to happen.” Is this endorsement for Romney a “Flip“ or a “Flop”?

    Everything she says or does gives more votes to Obama. Can someone turn off her mike?

  • What type of Doctor has "Muscles" for a speciality?

    Last year I had a dull pain that started above my left elbow. Over weeks this pain migrated to below my elbow, The pain was definitely in the muscle and not skeletal. Strange . . . I told my doctor about it and he said I had Arthritis without taking any tests. Being 59 and diabetic I accepted his diagnosis.

    A couple weeks ago I had a pain in my right thigh muscle above the knee. Last week the pain slowly slid down to my lower thigh.

    I don't doubt my doctor, but I want a second opinion.

    Has anyone out there in computer-land ever heard of a "roaving pain"

    Thanks.
