    My sister keeps calling me from a friend's cell phone, and she leaves annoying messages. Is there a way I can block that number? (I have a Razr and Alltel's cheapest nationwide plan)

    What are these worm/parasite things in my fish tank?

    No pics right now, I might be able to get some later... So here's the background on my tank: I bought some plants around Christmas, they also had snails I guess, so I now have plants and lots of little snails. I let my tank get a lot of algae on it, because I'm lazy and my fish doesn't...

    Need some quick help - what is the second address line for when buying online?

    I just got an apartment, and I want to order something online and have it shipped to my apartment. Do I put my address and apartment number on the same line, or is the second address line for my apartment number?

    How do you get rid of ringworm?

    A year or two I had a couple small patches of ringworm, but I read that if you leave it alone for 2 or 3 months it will go away. And it did. But now I have more ringworm. I've had it for probably 6 months, I never really kept track of when it started. I was hoping it would just go away again...

    Never had a cell phone - help me out!

    Ok so I got a call back about renting an apartment, which means I'll probably be moving in by next week. It is cheaper to get cable Internet and a cell phone instead of DSL and a land line. And then I can take the phone anywhere. But I've never had a cell phone before, and I've only used one a...

    My shoulder pops when I do bench presses - Is that very bad?

    I just recently started lifting, and today I noticed that every time I would bring the bar to my chest on bench presses, my right shoulder would make a popping noise. It didn't hurt, but it just doesn't seem like it should happen. Also if I do those arm circle things, like you are pitching a...

    What's a good car for under $4,000?

    I think soon I want to get a different car. Right now I have a 97 Saturn SL1 (automatic). I want a manual. So I am probably going to get a 2nd gen (96-00 I think) Saturn SC2. I just wanted to make sure that this is the car I like most for that amount ($3K-$4K). I don't like older cars and I...

    Know of any good guitar forums? Or can you help me with my question?

    I have a question about playing a song, so I figured I would get a better response at a guitar forum than ATOT. What are some good/big ones? EDIT (post copied from my guitar forum post): The song is "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie. Here is a video -...

    How much does the landlord need to know?

    I'm looking at my first application for an apartment, and it just seems like they are asking for too much info. Some things on the application: Social Security #, Driver's license #, savings account #, checking account #, and credit card #. Why do they need all that, especially since it's just...

    What if you got sued for millions?

    If you got sued for millions, for downloading music or some other reason, what would happen? Assuming you are making a middle class income, you would never be able to pay that bill. So what do you do?

    How does your OS know the right time?

    If you don't have an Internet connection, and you just installed XP, how does XP know what time is correct? You can select which timezone you are in, but if the BIOS clock was wrong, wouldn't the OS clock be wrong then too? Or do you have to set the time when you are installing XP (I can't...

    When you move, what happens to mail that goes to your old place?

    I will hopefully be getting an apartment in the next couple of day, so obviously any mail that goes to my old place (my parents' house) will be given to me by my parents. But what happens when I move out of the apartment, to a house, and some of my mail goes to the apartment? Does the person...

    If I hold a key, it won't speed up the typing

    For example if you hold down a letter key, it will type the letter and after about a second it will start typing that letter really fast. Well mine won't type fast. How can I fix this? EDIT: I fixed it under Keyboard Properties and Repeat Rate.

    What are your miscellaneous monthly expenses?

    I'm trying to figure out how much my monthly living expenses are going to be. So far I have figured out food, utilities, car insurance, cable, phone, and Internet. So I think all that's left is the small stuff like toilet paper and soap and those miscellaneous items. How much do you normally...

    Application questions

    I have a couple questions for a work application I'm filling out - What is grammar school? Is that just grade school or is it something special? Is a technical college considered college, or "trade, business or correspondence school"?

    Is it safe to use wire transfer?

    Ok I partnered with someone from Hong Kong or Australia for a few days, and then he decided to partner with someone else, but when I get paid I owe him about $1000. He wants me to wire the money to him. I was just wondering if this is safe, like if he says that he didn't get the money then can...

    Things to know when getting a house/apartment

    Ok so I just found out that you are supposed to change the air filter things in your house (do you have to do that in an apartment?) and I was wondering if there are any other "unwritten rules" for houses/apartments.

    Name that show or movie...

    Yeah I've made a few of these posts, but it just bugs me when I can't remember something. Ok so this one I just saw in the past week I think, so it was probably on TV but it could have been a movie. It has somebody mispronounce "niche" and they say it like "neeshay" or "nitchy" or something...

    Is there show or movie with a sloth?

    On SNL they had a thing about sloths, and some of the pics seemed familiar, so I Google image searched and found this - http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~gilbert/teaching/zoo369/sloth.html For some reason, that top picture seems really familiar. It could possibly look like something from Star Wars or...

    Using a blow dyer outside in the cold...

    Ok I was just thinking about this, if I took a blow dryer/hair dryer or whatever you want to call it, outside in freezing temps and turned it on, would it get fried? Because wouldn't condensation happen on its internals or something?

    Is it bad to jump-start cars with "computers" in them?

    I was told by somebody that if you have a car with a "computer in it" (I'm guessing she meant some sort of electronic chip) then it is bad to jump-start it or to jump-start another car with it. This doesn't really make sense to me, because don't almost all cars, even if they are old, have some...

    Name that children's book...

    This is a long shot, but maybe somebody here has read it. It's a children's book about this baby turtle, and he has to find the moon so he can get to the sea or something. And I think one of the things is he finds a party on the beach with a big circular light and he thinks it's the moon. There...

    How do you hire someone from Hong Kong that is living in Australia?

    Ok, I'm going to be partnering up with this guy for some website stuff. Basically I am part of an advertising program that he can't get in to, so he's going to pay me 20% of his profits if I let him use my ad program account. But he is an international student in Australia, and his legal...

    Tax question: Do people have to pay sales tax on e-books?

    I'm probably going to be writing an e-book and selling it, so I'm wondering if people from my state have to pay sales tax on it. I have never seen people pay sales tax on e-books, but they are products that you are selling, so I would think it's required. If it is required, how would I keep...

    What's that old TV show...

    I remember when I was little I used to watch it. It was an animated show that had little dwarves in the woods and one of them was a doctor. I remember that because he always snapped his gloves off and I remember trying to do that. And I think there was a big fox that they rode on...

    How long can I keep 1 pound of hamburger?

    Ok so I used to get the pre-made hamburger patties, but I decided to get the actual meat this time (whatever it's called, ground beef?). And so I got 1 pound and used 1/4 pound a day for the past 3 days. I saran wrapped the package back up and put it in the fridge. Today the meat is kind of...

    What's a good business to start with $1000?

    I've got $1,000 to spend, so I figure why not start a small online business :) Obviously whatever I'm selling would have to be kind of cheap, because I only have $1,000 and I would need multiple items. Any suggestions?

    WTF... lots of baby snails in my fish tank

    A few days before Christmas I ordered some plants for my tank (never done that before) and I put them in and everything was fine. Then a couple weeks ago when I was cleaning it I found two snails, about the size of half a pea. I just noticed today there are like 25 little tiny snails... what...

    How do I redirect one of my websites to a different one?

    I can do domain forwarding, but that makes it so oldsite.com goes to newsite.com, which is fine. But also oldsite.com/oldpage.html goes to newsite.com/oldpage.html. I want all of the oldsite.com pages to redirect to newsite.com. Is there a way to do this?

They recently changed how you log in to check email, so I decided to get a program that made it easier to log in. I downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird, but I can't set up my accounts. How do I figure out the SMTP...

    Manual car stalling when turning

    Ok I would like my next car to be a manual (I have never driven one). But then I think about this situation: You are on a 4 lane highway, turning left and there is no stop sign. You can't make the turn immediately so you slow down/stop to wait for an opening. There's an opening, so you start...
