9. On a packet of Sunmaid raisins - WHY NOT TRY TOSSING OVER YOUR FAVOURITE BREAKFAST CEREAL?

I can tell, and she does this to everyone even her husband. I have a 2 yr old and she asked what he wanted for his birthday and other ocassions and she gets something that just takes up space. My son likes Thomas the train, but they insist on buying Bob the builder since my father in law is a general contractor. My son never plays with it, he just gets excitied because he sees a box, he wants me to open it and then it's something he doesn't like. I've got a house full off toys from them he never uses. Can I donate toys to a place where children can actually play with them, that are opened? What do I do about my mother in law ignoring us when she asks us how our day was, or just questions in general?

My hubby really likes working on bikes (bycycles) and has always dreamed of having his own bike shop some day. But he never has time to even build the one he's been working on since before we moved in together. Whenever we move, we always move half a bike :)
So I was thinking that for his birthday I would buy him all the parts he needs to finish building his bike to help motivate him to work on his hobby more. Does that sound like a good idea or is it dumb?

Recently I opened my pc in safe mode, did some checking on the properties on all my installed programs and found out that there is an unknown user in all the programs and all show the same account code. Is this a virus? I tried to remove it from all the programs but managed to remove only from a few programs. On most programs after each time I removed two new ones appear all bearing the same account code. I have done complete AVG anti virus and anti spyware scans. But no virus or spyware found.
