I flush my toilet, the bowl only empties maybe one out of five flushes. I've had new ABS(?) plumbing put in from the floor collar out to the main line. The toilet used to clog all the time, it doesn't clog anymore, but doesnt' flush right either. I have noticed, from uh, standing in front of it that the water level isn't even, like the toilet might be slightly tilted even though it is solid with the floor. If I flush and pour a bucket of water in the bowl at the same time, it works like a champ. The house is 47 years old, wood flooring above a crawl space. I have no idea how old the toilet is. Suggestions?

Using up my q's as still level 1 and cannot respond to other posts and may be this will get me on the 'watch list,' but is this the America that lost so many dead and maimed in the name of freedom? Was in the British army as a combat medic and just cannot understand why this is happening - is this a modern day war over opium and in Iraq's case oil and if that is the case why the heck does anyone not try to stop them? Like we need more pollution from cars or more people with live's wrecked by heroin

I have asked just a few questions, and I have come to see that the christian faith shelters so much hate against Allah(God), muslims, and their prophet. Why? The Qur'an tells it's followers to respect all people of the scriptures Jews and Christians and NOT to insult their beliefs and NOT to destroy their religious objects and NOT to insult their prophets. Yet when someone asks a question about Christianity they immediately bash the faith of Islam, even if it was NOT brought up in the question. We are all human. and those of us alive don't know the truth, but we all have faith. There are no religions out there that were sent down by God, that say KILL MAN!! and HATE HIM for what he believs, so we all need to learn how to live together in peace. We need to learn how to just worry about ME and am - I -doing what my faith wants me to do. If everyone who answers with sarcaism would keep their opinion to their self please. And answer from the heart!

I have a Dell Windows XP home, Centron, laptop that I use for general downloads. It is running slow, and I have detected some viruses that Norton can't get rid of. Although very slow, it seems to work for the internet and Word. Since this is my "play" computer, I just want to start from scratch and reinstall Windows using the Dell disc provided.

BUT, The reinstall will not go forward. When I insert the Rinstall CD and turn the computer on, I go to Windows Setup, but I get a message "Setup has encountered a problem and cannot continue. The following status codes will assist in diagnosisng the problem (0X4, 0, 0, 0)."

I then tried to reformat C: and get a message that drive C is locked and in use and cannot be reformatted.

Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance.

Ahem, Ahem. Yes, I wanted to give a girl a sonnet I had written for her. It's like very romantic and stuff. Now I've written it in blue ink and was just going to give her the sonnet with my name at the bottom. But should I write anything else except the sonnet? Also please help give me a title for the sonnet please. Also any creative ideas are welcome.
Should I write that I dedicate the sonnet to you, (the girls name). Also should I write this ablove or below the sonnet

I have rented the Season 1 and 2 DVDs, but there have been several episodes on TV that were not on the DVDs. I am a new fan this summer, so was assuming that there must have been another season. If you buy the ones at Target, does it have the other episodes?

I had an endometrial ablation 12 months ago, so I can't be pregnant. I have put on 45 lbs since then. I still hit the gym a few times a week, but nothing helps. My whole abdomen is big, It looks like I am about 6 or 7 months pregnant. It is very embarrasing since I was at the most fit point in my life before surgery. I am short of breath, like something is pushing on my chest after I eat. Could I be crazy? What would I say to the doctor? What if the Doc doesnt listen to me or hands me antibiotics and walks out? That has happened before.... If you go in and just sit down and say "hey, I really think something is wrong inside of me" will they listen or will they just write in your charts that you are a hypocondriac?
