I consider myself to be a very quiet, simple person with a rather complex mind. Friends always ask me why I smile all the time, because they think i'm sinister. No, I always try to find the humorous side of any situation, at least that way I always have something to smile about.

  • Question about dealership car warranties...used car?

    I recently bought a used car from a major dealership and purchased a warranty through them which was added to the cost of the loan I took to get the vehicle. Within 10 months, this car has broken down 3 times and so far the warranty hasn't covered $1 of repair. But the warranty costs me $69 dollars a month and doesn't seem to cover anything that breaks.

    Is it possible to cancel this type of warranty if it was added to the loan for the vehicle, or am I just out of luck.

    If it can be canceled, how?

  • Need help with a Movie Title, Please?

    Its a SciFi (Science Fiction) movie involving people on a space-ship and obviously in space orbiting what I remember to be Earth. On the ship, they have something call an Intelligent Smart Bomb that for some reason, activates itself and deploys below the ships hull.

    On of the astronauts goes out to reason with the bomb to keep it from exploding. The astronaut loses the conversation and the bomb destroys the space-ship.

    Also, at the very end of the movie, one of the astronauts climbs aboard some space junk and uses it like a surf board, which he rides into the Earths atmosphere. He did this because he knew someone would look up and see it, and he wanted to be remembered that way.

    If anyone can answer this Movie Tile question, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Cheers!

  • Question about a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer 2WD 6 Cylinders W 4.3L SFI?

    with an Emergency Brake issue. My Emergency Break cable snapped about 5 years ago and I never had it replaced. But today, while driving down the road, it somehow activated (locked up), and stopped be pretty hard. The Emergency Break pedal was all the way to the floor, but I was able to release it with the release latch.

    So the question is: How can my emergency break lock up if the cable is snapped, and not connected to the pedal?

    Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I'm kinda leary about driving it now.

  • Need help with a movie title.....please?

    All I remember about the movie is: A kid tries to beat a bully in Top (the toy) competitions. He finally scores a top from the New York worlds fair, but loses it down a street drain in the final battle. I think Mary Steenburgen played the mother, but that's the only actors name I know. The father was always at war with the neighbors, but doesn't realize that they have moved out about a month ago. And the mother collects Gravy Boats at the theater every sunday. She ends up throwing it at the host and hitting him in the head, along with all the other housewives in the audience. Reason being, they were supposed to get something other than gravy boats each sunday.

    Any help recalling the name of this movie would be greatly appreciated.

  • Whats the name of the puzzles that are......?

    made up of pictures, words, and plus or minus signs? Example: (Picture of Cheese Wedge) + German Mayor - Meister = ?????????? the answer being Cheeseburger.

    Solution: The picture of the Cheese wedge represents the word "Cheese". The German Mayor is called the "Berger Meister". So, basically, you end up with Cheese + Berger Meister - meister = Cheeseburger!

    If anyone can tell me what these puzzles are called, it would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day!

  • Military hospital emergency room refused to evaluate my sons.....?

    My son may have StrepThroat, but I could 't get a same day appointment at our Military Hospital, even though we have TriCare Prime. They offer us a walk in, throat culture eval only (results in about 72 hours).

    No physician was available, however, The intern that took the culture said "Your sons tonsils are red and swollen. It looks very painful." But she couldn't offer any meds for pain. So we left.

    Later that night, conditions got worse so my wife took him to the militarys Emergency Room. On check-in, the tech noticed that my son had been in earlier that day and told my wife "Since your son was in earlier, we can't do anything. We can't treat him until the results come back." My wife and son were told to leave.

    Not one person looked at my sons throat just to make sure it wasn't serious. And once again, no pain relief meds were offered.

    My question: Should I file a complaint against the hospital? In my humble opinion, that was PI$$ POOR service by an Emergency Room.

  • BioShock causes Blue Screen of Death....please help!?

    Every time I get to the Neptune's Bounty, stage one, the game starts, then goes into the Blue Screen of Death". I have lowered all option settings to the bare minimums.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    My PC: HP w/Intell Pentium D (dual processor), 2.8 GHz, 2GB RAM, GeForce 7300LE video card, running with Windows XP Media Center, SP 2.

    Game calls for minimum: XP or Vista, P4 single core processor of 2.4 GHz, 1 GB ram, video card DX9.c compatable w/128MB.

    Everything I have is better than that, including what they say under the Recommended requirements.

    What am I missing here. Oh yeah, if I do not change any settings prior to starting the game, the game runs choppy. Any suggestions on why this is happening? Or any possible fixes (computer tweaks) would be greatly appreciated. Thnx!
