    Getting out of debt.

    Thanks for all the great responses. We have very good credit, so I don't want to ruin it. We both have vehicles that we are paying on, but they will be paid off next year, and we are planning on keeping them until they fall apart. We had looked into the balance transfer thing, but it seemed like...

    Getting out of debt.

    Over the past 5 years or so, my wife and I have gotten into some credit card debt. We've got about $16,000 in debt on a couple of credit cards. We don't use the cards anymore, and we don't have any problems paying on them, but we would like to get them paid off as soon as possible (we want to...

    Call me a big softy, but I really enjoyed 'A WALK TO REMEMBER'. :-)

    I guess I'm a big softy too, b/c by the end I was bawling. I just kept thinking of me in that situation, loosing my wife, and it made me realize how lucky I am to have her. Dan

    A question for car audio people.

    Yup, Ryan. Error 6. I'll try the CD cleaner and if that doesn't work go from there. Thanks again guys. Dan

    A question for car audio people.

    Thanks guys. I think I'll try the lens cleaner after all. It's not a cheap CD player (about $350), so I don't think that's the problem. Thanks again. Dan

    A question for car audio people.

    I've got a Clarion DZX-615 (or DXZ, can't remember exactly) CD player in my truck. For a while, probably several months, I didn't use the CD player part of it, just the radio. Here in the last few months I've started listening to CD's again, but there's a problem. The CD player is having...

    Slow computer.

    My computer is extremely slow. What can I do to get it to run faster, short of buying a new one (this one's not even payed off yet)? It's a Gateway and it's a couple of years old. I'm a computer idiot, so if you all have any suggestions I need them in laymans terms.:D Thanks. Dan

    Why is it doing this?

    There is this website that I go to that I haven't been able to get into for the last two days. It says that it is unavailable. I went over to my parents house and tried it on their computer. It worked, but a couple of pages I tried to open wouldn't work. I went back, and tried them again, and...

    Any electricians in here?

    I've got a problem with the ceiling fan/light in our living room. A few weeks ago I flipped the switch off, but the light stayed on. I flipped it on and off about six times before it finally went off. It only did it occasionally. Then it started doing it when I tried to turn the light on (not...

    My cat will be euthanized tomorrow...

    Man, this post is going to make me cry. I've got one of our cats sitting on my lap right now (her name is Sassy, but I call her Sasquatch b/c she is so fat:D ). We've only had our two cats (sisters) for a little over a year, but I would be so devistated if we lost one of them (even though they...

    Any healthy eating experts out there?

    My wife and I are really wanting to start eating healthier, but we are having some troubles. We can't seem to find a way to plan out healthy meals, so that when we go shopping we buy only what we need and not a lot of extra crap. Does anyone know of any good websites or books that can help us...

    Dodge Dakota owners.

    After spending 600 bucks in the last two weeks to fix my truck (97 GMC Sonoma) I've decided it's time to get something else (this thing has been in 5 times for major repairs). I've been looking into a Dodge Dakota, probably a '97-'99. What are some of your opinions on them? Anyone have any good...

    Warning lights for my vehicle.

    Well, Randy, I'm pretty sure around here you can use red lights. Most of the guys have red lights, and some have red and blue. There are a few guys that have red and blue light bars on the tops of their trucks. I was looking at getting some wig-wags, but the only ones that I can find from...

    Warning lights for my vehicle.

    I recently joined our local volunteer fire department. Now I need to get a dash light for my truck, but I'm having trouble deciding if I want to get halogen (rotating) or strobe (flashing) lights. The reason I'm leaning towards strobes is b/c there is more of a variety of them with red and...

    Why am I always hungry?

    I'm 22. I used to be the same way in high school, but I weighed more around 180 lbs so it's not anything recent. But the weird thing is sometimes (especially the weekends) I'll eat one meal and not be hungry for the rest of the day. I feel fine so I don't think I'm sick or anything. I was...

    Why am I always hungry?

    What in the hell is wrong with me? I'm hungry all the time. Tonight after work I ate three hot dogs, and was still hungry. Most of the time I eat and get full, but then just half an hour later I'm hungry again. I was thinking that it could be the fact that I work a physically demanding job...

    how many people own the world's greatest breed of dog: the german sheperd?

    I want a German Shepard so bad. But my wife and I will probably wait until after we have kids before we get one. I want it go grow up with the children so it will be used to them. For now I guess I'll just stick to my Papillion (she's great though:D ). Dan

    Anyone know anything about plumbing?

    Where is the vent located?:confused: Would it be under the house somewhere? I have a crawlspace. Dan

    Pan and scan?

    Ah, now I understand. So are all full screen movies like this? Or is pan and scan different from full screen (like a full screen version instead of widescreen version of a DVD)? Dan

    Pan and scan?

    Not sure if this is in the right area, so if a mod needs to move it go ahead. Anywho, I've seen a lot of reference to pan and scan. What in the hell is it?:confused: I have noticed that everyone talks bad about it, but I can't seem to find anything that tells me what it is. So what's the...

    What are the most over played songs of all time

    My Sacrifice. I don't even want to think of the number of times I've heard that song in one day on the way to work (40 minute drive). Michael-You CAN'T overplay Def Leppard. IMO of course.;) Dan

    Anyone know anything about plumbing?

    I didn't even think to mention that. It's on public sewer. I'm sure it's a clog or something b/c like I said it just started happening a few weeks ago. And the first time it backed up into the tub, I pulled a handfull of hair and this black sludge shit off of the drain cover thing. Very...

    Anyone know anything about plumbing?

    I've got a problem with my plumbing. It started a few weeks ago. Whenever the washing machine is draining, the bathtub will back up with water and the water level in the toilet will drop. And just today, my wife was taking a shower, and the water drained very slowly (that's the first time...

    Becoming more outspoken (kind of long).

    Is there anything that I can do to become more outspoken? I'm a very shy person, always have been, and I just can't seem to overcome it. Last week at work I got my annual evaluation (which was very good btw:D ). My coach told me that one thing I need to work on is becomming more outspoken...

    Disturbing Movies (What Creeped You OUT?)

    Yeah Michael, Faces of Death is really disturbing. The only movie that I can think of that freaked me out was House on Haunted Hill. When the doctor's head starts shaking and then he looks up at the camera. Reminded me of a Tool video (which are all disturbing:D ). That's the only movie I...
