FRAZEE, Minn. -- Some young men like to talk sports. Tyler Shipman's favorite topic is a car model that last rolled down an assembly line three years before he was born. "I got my first one when I was 15," says Tyler about the Pontiac Fiero with which he fell in love after seeing one on the internet. "They were something different ... they drive really sweet." General Motors pulled the plug on the sporty mid-engine two-seater in 1988 after a four year run. Quality issues dogged the car from the start. Tyler didn't care. In August, before starting his...

Please excuse the Vanity post - I am desperate! I have a new PC with Windows 7. At odd times I loose the Internet connection. I know cable internet signal is coming through the router as other PCs in the system have connections. At first the lost connection was happening each time I would reboot. Now it happens at seemingly "random" times .... I realize it's probly not random, but I can't see a correlation yet ... and the connection usually comes back when I reboot again. The Dell tech support wants me to reinstall the windows software. That would...

My husband and I have decided this year not to give each other extravagant Christmas gifts, and are not going to be able to purchase large presents for his or my extended family either. We will only be able to give simple, useful, needed items for close family and friends. Instead, we would like to do something for a needy, struggling family. We'd prefer to do it anonymously and be able to provide them with a nice holiday. We just don't need "things" this year, and I'd much rather help out someone who does. We both feel that the true...

Is a wood stove insert warmer than a regular fireplace, even without the fan (if there's a power outage)?

Need help in repairing my broken laptop power cord. I have tried many techniques to figure out how to open up the adapter box. The plastic is too weak to crack open w/ just a screwdriver. It just scratched with pressure, while the seam remained firmly bonded. Any advice on how to open the adopter box without throwing the adapter to Obama's face? BTW, I have an HP laptop. A new one at Best Buy costs $139.00.

I and another person were granted a patent a few years ago. I would like to remove the other person's name from the patent. How do I do this? Thank you Mike

Apologies for the vanity. I'm looking for FReepers in Dallas, TX to try to regain contact with someone in an Evangelical Church there.They helped me make it through one of the toughest times of my life and promised to email me later, but never did. I never got a chance to properly thank them and tell them my life was truly changed.The only clues I have are that they had in 2006 an assistant pastor whose voice sounded like Al Michaels and they were about 20 minutes away from downtown Dallas.Can someone jog my memory?

help!

I need to talk to whomever is the administrative moderator today. You'd think with as many times as I've been banned I'd know how to do this!!! LOL! Thanks!

I have been job-hunting for some time now and applying for jobs online.
