I have a 2007 macbook. This past October I had it upgraded to Snow Leopard (the furthest it can be upgraded due to it's age.) When I got it back it started asking for a "network password" each time we start it up. It's a small inconvenience, but the issue is it brings up my *former* name (ex-husband's last name! Ugh.) I can't stop the prompt from popping up and I can't change the name! I had the MacTown geeks look at it yesterday and even THEY can't figure out what the problem is. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

From everything I've read, my version of the macbook can only support hold 4 gb of ram. Does this mean a) there's no way to add more? and b) I can't upgrade to Snow Leopard? (Which requires at least 5 gb) Thanks!

I have a macbook purchased in 2007. I am currently running on OSX. I'm thinking of purchasing the snow leopard upgrade - but will it work from the version I'm currently using? Thanks!

I'm dumb and when I bought my mac I set it up with my married name. I have long since divorced the loser and am now re-marrying and would like to change my account info. (When I log in it says "Jane Smith's computer. I would like to change it to say "Jane Humperdink" You get the idea.) How do I do this? Thanks!

They seem pretty subtle on white people, I wonder if it would be any more or less obvious on a black person. I'm trying to plan my next tattoo. Thanks!

My dog has started pacing the floors at night, whining and begging to get in bed with me. I am losing sleep and have become very edgy. This is a new behavior. She even had a nightmare a few weeks ago. She was screaming in her sleep like she was being killed. So maybe she's afraid to go to sleep now, I don't know. I took her to the vet. They did blood work and said everything seems fine. Any suggestions?

I am in charge of my family reunion this year. There is always a golf outing the weekend before. The guy who's supposed to be planning it mysteriously disappeared, so I'm winging it. I have a tee time, now I need prizes. Aren't there places that donate stuff? Where should I go? Who should I ask? I've never done this before. Thanks!

I bought my fiance a tungsten wedding band. I would like to have it engraved, but I'm reading that can be difficult - even impossible to do. Has anyone had it done with success? Can you recommend a place that may be able to do it? (I live in Columbus, Ohio) Thanks!

My fiance and I would like to get married in a local park. It will be fairly casual and low-key, only immediate family and an officiant. It will take place in the middle of a weekday, so there shouldn't be a lot of people around. The park website says they "rent" certain areas for $500/2 hrs. That includes things like a changing area, chairs, etc. But if we just want to show up on a random Wednesday and get hitched, is that against the law?? I mean it is a PUBLIC park. Btw I live in Columbus, Ohio. Thanks!

For some reason some of the artwork in my iTunes does not match the cd. (Ex: the Phil Vasar cd cover shows up on Jo Dee Messina's greatest hits, etc.) How do I get the correct album cover artwork to display? Thanks!

I met a guy online, he's coming up for the day on Saturday. Does anyone have any ideas on something we can do that is pretty laid back and we can spend time talking. If it were summer I'd want to do the zoo, but it's supposed to be freezing here this weekend. (Columbus, Ohio.) If anyone has any fun, original ideas, they would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I have been elected President of my family reunion. Over the years the reunion has shrunk slightly and there are lots of people there who come every year but don't know each other. I thought adult games would be a great way to break the ice and get to know one another. Anyone have any good ideas for some simple, funny, adult games?

I have Lupus and am looking for a warmer, dryer climate than Columbus, Ohio. Anyone live there and have any insight as to how the weather is typically throughout the year? I can deal with heat for the most part - but I'm trying to avoid humidity, in the winter or summer. Thanks!

I'm trying to find cloth storage bags with drawstrings - like nice purses and shoes come in. I would like to buy them in bulk for all my purses. I'm having a hard time finding exactly what I'm looking for. Any ideas??

My bf is beyond what doctors would consider morbidly obese. I love him dearly, but in the 1.5 years we've been dating he has continued to put on more and more weight. It's becoming a serious problem. I need to tell him that until he decides to make a healthier lifestyle for himself I cannot move forward with the relationship. I feel horrible saying this to him, but he's killing himself. I figure if he were addicted to drugs or alcohol someone would have said something to him by now, but when it's food people just assume you're fat and lazy and say nothing. I'm not huge, but have always been the biggest person in my family, so I know how it feels to be judged based on your weight. I need suggestions on how to bring it up in the most loving way possible.

I'm not sure how long I'll need it preserved, just wondering how much it would cost.

I purchased a belt buckle on eBay and will need the belt to go with it. I can't find JUST the belt searching "belt without buckle" or "belt no buckle" etc. on eBay. Any suggestions on how I would find one?
