I bought a brand new Model F5D8231-4 router 3 weeks ago for $200 and it's been a nightmare. First, the software CD that came with it was made for a wireless N card so the driver didn't work. That resulted in a 45 minute telephone call to their customer service in Bangladesh or somwhere because the expert help couldn't understand a word I was saying, and vice versa. I got the driver downloaded and they agreed after 2 more calls to send me a software CD. It arrived today and it wouldn't open, no matter what.

On top of all that, this router goes down about 3-4 times a day. The modem light starts blinking orange and the internet light goes out altogether. There's been no power outages and this thing's plugged into my battery backup. My wife likes to play cards on the Yahoo Euchre site on her Inspiron and she's been knocked off constantly. I called them today and got another 45 minute runaround. Is this a symptom of this model or am I just unlucky?

Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, Jetsons etc.. were on for hours on Saturday mornings! As a kid, that was the best thing about the weekend (next to having to go to school).

ive got parent issues like everyone else. my mom moves around from guy to guy she would go from a lawyer to a mechanic to a security guard than back to a lawyer all in one week. i normally wouldnt care because we have no relationship we dont talk at all. but the one guy she happens to love is a total asshole. im 15 and we just moved in a month ago. he gets into fullout fistfights with his 16year old son and i can hear the hole thing. i avoided him but today i had friends over and they were drinking when he sobered up enough to realize that we drank his beer it caught his attention. he hit me over and over and i wasnt good at defending myself and when he came after me i froze up. now iv got bruises and the hole half of my face is bright red. and get this after all this he asks for an apology! my mom said it was a once only thing and my stepbrother said "once only thing my ***" i no this cant be normal how do i get out of this without messing up school and turning out like my stepbrother

My man freaks out every time i go near his nipples, all i did was caress his gorgeous chest and as i headed for his nipples he pushed my hand away. Ive done this several times and tried with my tongue and its got to the point where i dare not go there again! He flinches so bad, told me lots of men dont like their nipples rubbed/played with. Is that true guys, or is my fella strange.......apart from that we have a great sex life so no taking the mickey thanks people!!!

fought for the Union and was killed. Would you have been a supporter of President Johnson's plan for reconstruction, a moderate Republican Reconstruction plan, or a radical Republican Reconstruction plan and why?

here they are:
Sudden implosion of silenced emotions
Buried beneath a scarred heart for too long
Delusions of hope fading away
Dying like leaves on frozen soil

My apocalypse is near
I can feel the end... Coming here

Is it because the body needs more calories or the stomach is not physically full of food? If the former, then invariably people must feel hungry to lose weight. If the latter, then how come eating the same physical amount of spinach (area wise) would not fill a person up if they ate the same physical amount of peanut butter.
