Why did everything change?
My email no longer has the stationery, a wide selection of fonts, or the same image search (enlarging photos when you hover over one) that it used to. What the heck is the problem? I really REALLY hate this new format!!! I want my old products back...PLEASE!
1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Mail8 years agoHow do I get rid of a contact?
I've deleted an address from my addressbook but her email crap is still getting thru. How do I get rid of her once & for all? SPAM, delete, bad reports, blocks...nothing seems to work. Her address was hijacked by hackers so now I keep getting trashy emails. I want them to stop!
1 AnswerAbuse and Spam9 years agoCan anyone wear full bangs?
I wore full across the forehead bangs for many years. Now my hair is thinning but I want my bangs again. The beauty school instructor where I went said my hair didn't grow right for full bangs. How can my hair change that much (other than the thinning with age & diet)? I really want bangs but she refuses to let her students cut 'em the way I want 'em cut. Can I demand she do as I say or will I have to pay mookoo bucks for a REAL stylist? I really don't have that kind of money...
1 AnswerHair9 years agoWhy can't I load my Canon software?
-Canon PowerShot A1000 IS-(refurbished)
It came with the software disc that claims you have to load the software before connecting the camera to the computer. Fine, but I can't get the CD drive to acknowledge the disc. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix it?
3 AnswersSoftware9 years agoCan I get lead poisoning (or worse) from old canned foods?
I've been cleaning out the pantry and found old canned foods. The cans aren't bulging or rusted so I chose not to throw 'em out yet. I did use one can of soup (dated 2003) and it tasted alright but a bit "tinny". Will tinny-tasting foods hurt us?
4 AnswersOther - Food & Drink10 years agoWhat colors look good together?
Is there a free computer program for matching up decorating colors? I have coral/salmon colored walls and need ideas on what colors look best. I've exhausted my favorites so now I'm ready for something new. Tell me some FREE down-loadable programs, please.
3 AnswersDecorating & Remodeling1 decade agoCan I reshape an old candle?
I found an old pillar candle that has dents in the sides from rubberbands that were wrapped around it and it's leaning to one side. It had been in adverse weather temps like from Summer heat to Winter frost and back & forth for many years. How can I heat the candle to reshape it back to its original pillar shape? A microwave would be too much heat but I'm not sure if the oven would melt it completely or not. I also have a couple of old tapers that need to be rebent too.
2 AnswersHobbies & Crafts1 decade agoWhat is a good tart apple?
I have a recipe that calls for granny smith apple slices but they just weren't tart enough when I made it. What's another tart, almost sour, apple that I could use? The recipe is for a grilled (aged cheddar) cheese sandwich with granny smith apple slices. The one I made wasn't bad but the apples just weren't tart/sour enough to taste.
Cooking & Recipes1 decade agoIs it a no-no to paint wood paneling?
I have a long narrow hallway - the length of the house - that's paneled in dk. brown. It looks like a dungeon! I love the look of a beach shanty - the white boarded walls. Can I paint my hallway white to make it look less claustrophobic? The only time I like the dark hallway is for Halloween...it's eerie & spooky looking!
4 AnswersDecorating & Remodeling1 decade agoWhat is an Ad Blocker on my Browser?
I'm trying to watch CBS videos but I keep getting an error about there being an ad blocker installed on my browser. What is that and how do I get rid of it? I've got all my pop-up blockers OFF but I still can't watch my shows. HELP!
1 AnswerSecurity1 decade agoHow can I whiten my teeth?
I am a coffee drinker. I can't start my day without it. Is there a product that will whiten my teeth even tho I won't give up my joe? I can't afford professional whitening procedures.
7 AnswersDental1 decade agoCan I use SoftScrub to clean my bird bath?
I'm getting ready to put my birdbath away for the season (and I've been neglecting it up until now), so it's really nasty and "crappy". I cleaned it with SoftScrub (instead of scouring powder) already but now I'm worried about it being toxic to future birds. Can I re-rinse the bowl with something or will it be alright? I've heard that diluted bleach/water will work (for future cleanings)...
1 AnswerCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoWho do U think will die first?
There's been a lot of chat lately about all the wild antics of high-profile celebs. Who do you think might be the first one (of the bunch) to die (due to their life-style antics)?
1) Mel Gibson
2) Lindsay Lohan
3) Kiefer Sutherland
4) David Hasselhoff
5) write in vote
Keep in mind, this includes the amount of stress in their lives & the things they do (as in drugs, booze, over-worked, anger-issues...) not just their age.
6 AnswersCelebrities1 decade agoAre spider webs toxic?
I was talking to a lady recently who said she had been bitten by a spider (a while back). The bite itself was bad but the web she'd walked into was more toxic than the spider bite. (This info supposedly came from the doctor who treated her). Are spider webs toxic? I've looked online but can't find anything about the webs...
5 AnswersZoology1 decade agoWhere can I take my old television sets?
I have 4 old TVs - analogs - and I don't want to have to pay the recycling joint to take 'em off my hands. They charge $5 each! I know $20 doesn't seem like much but I'm not working and haven't got the extra cash for such things. I just want to get rid of the old sets. Will places like the Salvation Army or Goodwill take 'em for free?
3 AnswersTVs1 decade agoIs it wrong to do nothing?
I'm broke. I mean broke as in penniless. My "friends" can't seem to understand that. They keep sending me invitations to showers, weddings, parties, etc...which (to me) requires sending a gift even tho I won't attend. I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY! I haven't worked for several years, my bank account is on empty, and I don't have money to spend on neccessities for myself let alone "luxuries" for someone else. How do I tactfully tell these people that I can't afford to send 'em anything (without losing their friendships)? I feel like they're putting a price-tag on friendship. Should I go without food or paying rent just to pacify 'em?
7 AnswersEtiquette1 decade agoHow can I keep my computer from overheating?
I've had my Gateway computer for 3½ yrs. without it ever overheating. Recently my motherboard took a nosedive and I had to get a new one. The repairman rebuilt it into a smaller, more compact tower so now it overheats all the time! I can't help the fact that I don't live in an air conditioned home so please don't tell me to crank up the A/C. That's not gonna happen! I have a small table fan that blows on it constantly and I'm always dusting the "bunnies" outta the vent areas so.....now what? I'm tired of having to shut it down for hours at a time just because it gets too hot. So do I, but I can't shut down for hours!
9 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoWhere do wild rabbits get their water?
I found a nest of 5 baby bunnies in my garden. I haven't moved or touched them in any way. I just check on 'em daily (or watch 'em). The eyes are open and they're hopping about, eating & acting like rabbits. What I'm wondering is, where do rabbits get their water? They can't hop up, into the birdbath like the squirrels & neighborhood cats can. Should I put a bowl of water on the ground for 'em?
9 AnswersOther - Pets1 decade agoCan Yahoo! needlessly close an account?
I just got an email, supposedly from Yahoo! Subscribers services, claiming that my account was on a list of those to be closed. (They claimed it was due to inactivity, which is incorrect. I use it on a daily basis)! Anyway, can Yahoo! do that? Can they just close an account for any reason or was it a scam? I sent it from SPAM to my inbox, read it, then sent it back to SPAM. I did not fill it out. Was it really from Yahoo! or no?
