  • Blackberries and data plans, AT&T?

    Ok so I want to buy a blackberry from a friend of mine, instead of through at&t. My question is if I buy that phone and just put my sim card in and at&t sees that im using a blackberry, will they force a data plan on me?

    I know they force the data plan now with phones bought through them, but I can't find anything regarding phones bought elsewhere, like ebay, craigslist, what have you.

  • Why does MS Excel freeze and get forced to close every time i try to format any cell or cells?

    In microsoft excel if i right click and hit Format Cells, try to use the quick buttons to change cell alignment, or even go to the Format drop down and click cells, the entire program stops working. This hasn't always been the case, but has just recently started to happen. I cannot figure out why and its getting very annoying. I should also say I have even uninstalled, and re-installed the entire set of MS office programs. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    I am running Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501. The program is MS Excel 2003.

  • Is too much power steering fluid bad? (2002 Jeep GC)?

    I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Overland package. 4.7L 8 Cyl.

    A while back I had it looked at under warranty (lemon law warranty, not manufacturer) for the power steering, they filled my fluid and such and told me they didn't think anything was wrong with it. But, it has still had problems.

    When I turn the wheel all the way to one side it makes this awful "mechanical whine" noise. Occasionally in 1st gear it does this as well. Other times if I'm in drive but not moving (i.e parking) the wheel becomes very very hard to turn for a few seconds, then releases.

    I checked the fluid today after letting it sit all night. There are 3 lines on the dipstick, add, cold and hot. Of course at this point my engine was as cold as it will get in the summer and the level of fluid read almost to the hot line, about a 1/4 inch below it.

    Can too much PS fluid cause the problems I'm having? Also, I know it isn't a leak as there aren't any signs of dripping fluid, and the fluid level has maintained for close to 2 months.

    Any thoughts or advice? Very much appreciated.

  • What is wrong with my Jeep/coolant system?

    About a week ago my check engine light came on, however my mechanic was out of town so I have been waiting to see him. Over the week there was really no noticeable issues at all except that every time i would start my Jeep up, hot or cold, the engine would rev up to around 2000 RPM's, which is much higher than usual. The other weird thing is I checked all my fluids 2 or 3 days ago, and everything was at a good level, including the coolant.

    The same day the check engine light went off with nothing changing, same start up issue, ran just fine. Now yesterday with the check engine light still off my temp gauge was in the red after just a short trip to the center of town (2 miles total). So I thought that must mean the thermostat had gone bad. Now today the computer inside told me my coolant was low. So when I got home I checked and it was almost empty! I can't spot any leaks, and the ground was still wet from rain under my Jeep so I couldn't tell if it had leaked onto the ground or not.

    So now I'm totally confused as to how I can lose all my coolant within a 3 day period, why it revs too high on start-up, and why the check engine light was on, and has now been off for 2 or 3 days without having done anything to it.

    Anyone have any insight or thoughts?

    For the record I drive a:

    2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Overland Package

    8cyl engine, 4.7 liters i believe.

  • My dog has an eye problem/irritation?

    My 1.5 year old golden retriever (girl) has had some eye issues today. She hasn't shown any real sign of pain, but most of th day shes had them closed more often then not. Just recently I noticed they look a little puffy below her eyes and the lower lids seem to be sagging. Inside they look a bit more red then usual. She also doesn't to be able to and/or want to open them all the way. Anyone have any ideas? This is both eyes by the way, not just one.

  • How do you feel about this dog name?

    The name is Callie.

    From what I have read Callie is a derivative of Caroline, and as a HUGE Red Sox fan the song Sweet Caroline means a lot to me since it's played during every 8th inning at Fenway Park.

    What do you think?

  • 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland wont start?

    I got in my Jeep today, started it up and drove to the end of my road (100-200 feet) realized I had forgotten something so I put it in reverse and backed up to my house, parked it in front of my house, got out and ran inside for a couple minutes, came back out and got in and the Jeep wouldn't start. And when I say wouldn't start I mean the engine wouldn't even try to turn over, just a click and total nothingness. THe gauges and electronics were working (i.e radio, information center, etc). I tried to jump start it but that didn't do anything. I let it sit for about an hour and tried again and still nothing but a click. I am wondering if the starter is bad but it seems odd that it wouldn't have a problem starting even once and then all of a sudden the starter was totally shot.

    Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

  • Reoccurring ingrown toe-nail...?

    I've had a constant issue with ingrown toenails on both of my big toes. When i first had one i went to a podiatrist and he removed the entire nail, had me soak it in Epsom salt and warm water for 15 min a day for 2 weeks...did that, it went away for a couple months, then when the nail was basically all grown back it started getting ingrown again...ive had the nail removed from the left toe 2 times and the right 3 times 9one time just part of the nail was removed)....

    my question is this: my parents think i should see a different doctor this time around (right toe, 4th time) because they think the first time i had it fixed the doc did something wrong causing it to constantly grown back ingrown. I dont think there were any other options for an ingrown nail, its not going to get better if it stays ingrown. I think its just a problem with my toe, not what the doctor did. Any one know of any other treatments for an ingrown nail or had it treated any other way?

    also, twice ive had a chemical put along the edges and part of the root to keep it from being able to grow ingrown, but its come back both times.
