Gettin' old ain't for sissies.

  • Is he right or wrong?

    First off, leave your nasty judgemental comments to yourselves....no one has the right to judge anyone and it is against community guidelines and I will report you.

    I recently got divorced. I left a 55" plasma, wood and glass tv stand, Bluray player, receiver and cables behind because I couldn't pack it. The bill is in my name and is $2500.00. That was his decision, not mine. Now he has that stuff and I'm paying the bill. I feel that it is wrong that I am paying for something he has. He refuses to pay the bill. So........?

  • My wife is Bi-Polar Manic Depressive and a hoarder...is she an unfit mother?

    We are separated. I've had to call the police because she was slamming a hard cover text book into her head and screaming that she wanted to die over and over. I'm pretty sure at least 50% of her income is going to the church, because she spent the $8000 tax refund without ever paying any bills, even the property tax, but there's NOTHING to show for it in that house.

    She lets the dog poop and pee all over the carpet and just leaves it there. She doesn't wash the laundry. I wash my daughter's clothes. Her two teenage daughters and our 6 year old are breathing that stuff in and living in it. I get her three days a week as of right now and it's the only stable place for her besides school.

    She won't make the time to get state medical assistance to take care of her disorder that she has been diagnosed with. I know she'd be eligible for it, too, because she meets all the requirements. So she continues to do all these things that ruin her life and the lives of the kids and drive herself into eventual homelessness. It's quite the vicious circle. So how can she possibly be raising them right?

    Do not say anything judgmental. You do not know all the facts.

    I'd love some legal answers if anyone has them.

    I can't find this information on the internet with the question I just asked.

    Help if you can. I need to know if I should be doing something more.

  • My income vs. federal poverty level?

    I don't understand how to read the guideline graphs. The income for us (family of 2) is 26,000. The website for requirements to apply for benefits (SNAP) says something about 130%. The federal poverty lever guidelines say family of 2 -133% is 19,564. So what does that mean? Please help.

  • I cleaned my laptop keyboard, and now it's harder to use?

    It is my boyfriend's Acer TravelMate 2480. I flipped all the keys off and cleaned them and the spaces between the plastic spots where the keys sit thoroughly. I used a Q-tip between the spaces and then used compressed air to blow everything out. Did I miss something? The keys were already hard to push for typing and now they're about twice as worse. I watched several youtube videos on how to properly take the keys off and exactly how to clean it before I proceeded. It was a dry Q-tip I used below the keys and then a cloth with alcohol on the keys while they were off so I couldn't have screwed anything up!! Please help me with this. His keyboard is annoying and about useless at this point. What can I do?

  • Need a list of the new lincoln pennies?

    I collect pennies. I have for years. I use the Whitman folders and the one I have now is Lincoln Memorial Cent 1999-2008. It stops at 2008-D and then has many blank spots. What I need to know and what seems to be impossible to find on the internet is all the mints. I want all of them since these new ones with the shield, etc., so 2009 until now, all four pictures and all the mints associated with each. Someone out there has to have the red book for coins. Could I please get the list from that book or a legitimate site that has that list? I want to hand write the years in below all te empty spots. I've looked hard and need a specific website with that specific list, nothing general or the list from the book. The Whitman website does not have it. Neither does the U.S. Mint site or any of those.

  • Where can I buy a figurine for an amazing mother?

    I've tried Hallmark, Jim Shore, Dept. 56, The Bradford Exchange, Isabel Bloom, Willow Tree, Precious Moments and maybe some others. This is for my sister in law who takes care of 3 kids, 9, 6, and 18 months, and works two jobs. She has a husband but does 95% of the work in the house because he hardly lifts a finger to help her. She is almost always in a terrific mood, considering. They live in a crappy small house that barely fits two people, much less 5, and her husband is a junk hoarder so he won't get rid of anything. Because the rest of her family is difficult or impossible to stay with during Christmas, she offered before we ever asked for us to stay with them. She borrowed a double bed for us and gave us her 9 year old daughter's room. I'm not looking for sympathy for her, she handles her life incredibly well. I'm trying to find some kind of figurine, classy, that suggests that she is an amazing mother or person. Please give me any websites I haven't already searched where you think I can find something appropriate for her. I really don't want cutesy or humorous. If at all possible, please help me out. :) Thank you!

  • why can I hear the sound from videos on my camera, but not on my computer?

    This is my mom's camera, but I have one extremely similar. It's a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS. My mom has taken some videos of my niece and she can hear the sound on her camera when she plays the videos, but then when we put the SD card into my computer, we can watch the video but we can't hear the sound. Has anyone got any ideas? Is there just a driver or program I need to download to make the sound work on Windows Media Player? By the way, the sound is up full blast on my computer and on WMP but still we hear nothing. I also listen to music with no problem on WMP all the time. Help, please! :) Thanks in advance.

  • Is anyone proficient in Office 2007 (specifically Word)?

    I'm using Word 2007 and I have like 900 pages of text to select which takes FOR...EVER. I'll seriously be sitting here for a couple of hours if I do it the old school way with the mouse. I need detailed answers. Please don't assume that I can navigate through Word like the back of my hand...I'm good, but not that good. So tell me which tab to select and then what to select under that tab, please. I tried "help" on word but it doesn't understand what I need and I don't understand what to ask it. There has to be a way to select the first and last words of the text you want to highlight and then fill the rest in with some kind of step by step trick. Help if you can please.

    Also, PLEASE read the entire question before you answer me. It would be greatly appreciated if I didn't get some crazy random answers that don't answer my question. :) Thanks in advance.

  • Does anyone else find this a little strange?

    I have a job app for Ten Thousand Villages. I just want to work there. But isn't it against EEO rules for them to ask this of me? The last page states as follows.

    "Adherence to the Core Values of Ten Thousand Villages:

    We accept and understand that Ten Thousand Villages is a program of Mennonite Central Committee. TTV is Christian Ministry of remembering the poor because they are a part of the family God created, sustains, redeems and loves. We adhere to and believe in incorporating the values of honesty, justice and love in our relationships with all people regardless of creed, ethnic origins, nationality, gender or political view.

    Adherence to the Peacemaking Criteria as Outlined by Mennonite Central Committee:

    God loves us, and invites us to practice this love. God calls us to love other as God loves us. We believe the use of violence and oppression in any form is inconsistent with this call. We believe the promotion of justice is an integral step in peacemaking, and peace cannot be separated from the pursuit of justice. Our commitment to peacemaking is based on obedience to God's call to love others as God loves us. We all fall short of God's standard of love, but this does not diminish standard.

    Do you understand and support these values and expectations?"

    It then asks for the date and my signature. No one has ever walked up to me in the store and starting talking religion with me or anything, but it makes me uncomfortable to sign my name to something I'm not necessarily a part of. Don't judge me, by the way. I would just like to get some ideas as to how to handle this.

  • Has anyone else ever had these "side effects" ?

    I used to do LSD and almost or every time I took it and was coming down from it, I had a side effect inside my vaginal area like there were muscles working that didn't need to be. There was no pain, it was not erotic, there was never any bleeding. It made my whole body writhe with restlessness and often times I would cry because I absolutely COULD NOT relax. The other things I've had this side effect with are Tylenol Nighttime, Lithium Carbonate and Risperdal (for depression). Someone PLEASE tell me you've felt this before and know what it's called. It is very hard to explain to my doctors and make them understand. Now it sort of happens when I take half a Trazadone at night to help me sleep. Worse if I take a whole pill. I would appreciate it if negative and goofy comments were kept to NONE. I only need serious adult answers. Thanks in advance.

  • Need a facebook expert?

    I have a business page I started. I posted a lot of pictures to it and have had about 10 people already like it. Today, I clicked on the page that always comes up saying "Create Your Profile" but put MY information in it without thinking. NOW, when I log on to what I think is the business page, I'm looking at a page with my name on it and things from the people who have liked the page. When I used to log on to it, I would just see the pictures and statuses I've posted. That's the way I want it to be again. Does anyone out there know what I'm talking about and how to fix it, PLEASE? I don't want to have to start my page over again.

  • Who knows how to make song files smaller?

    Here's the thing. I have a tape from the 80's my cousin made me and it was 120 minutes. Now I want to make a CD with those songs but last time I looked they only made 80 minute CDR's. Am I wrong? Do I need to shrink the size of my songs to make them fit? I probably sound like I was born straight out of the 60's (actually, the 70's :) ), but I am pretty computer savvy. Please help if you can. Thanks!
