hi i have a dvd burner that came with my computer and it doesnt seem to be able to burn dvds. If i try to burn a cd or something it works perfectly. Could it be my dvd disc? im trying to write on a TDK dvd-r. and the dvd writer says its dvd r/rw compatible. I don't know what the model for the dvd writer is though. I was wondering if theres any tests i can run on it to see if its still working. Thank you!

My girlfriend's parents are devoutly Catholic, and they have a problem with me because I'm an atheist. They try to get me to go to church with them weekly, and she has told me that her parents do not approve of me. My girlfriend isn't as fanatic as her parents, and I don't want this to be a reason for us to break up. I'm really just looking for a way to make her parents like me and see that I am a good person even though I don't share her beliefs. Any suggestions?

You can't.

Therefore, I am right.

My boyfriend and I recently moved into a trailor out in the country to "update" a few things for a friend of the family to rent it out. I'm interested in painting the kitchen cabinets (they're BLACK!!!) and I'm wondering if anyone has ever attempted this on such cheap wood? And do you have any suggestions? And in simple words, can you tell me exactly how to do it? (I've never painted anything in my life.)

Also, there's other small things, like light fixtures, that in my opinion would look better with a satin nickel finish, rather than this horrid 80's gold that's in here. Do you have any idea if it's possible to paint over these small metal pieces? I thought I had read somewhere that it was, but was looking for someone to validate that "fact", if you will. That way I don't make TOO much of a mess, lol. (If an easy solution doesn't work out, I just might have to replace them all, eh?) Thanks a bunch!!

Okay, so I got a 360 a few weeks ago and noticed that the wired controller plugs into a usb port. So I plugged it in to see if I could play games, not knowing that I had to install a driver first. I deleted the driver(that I downloaded afterwards), re-installed it and the controller is still not being reconized. What do I need to do to make it work?

I've never liked Donald Trump. And now that he appears to be making fun of someone?!?! What nerve... I have news.. he could loose 15 lbs! He has atrocious "hair"! And last but not least, he is just annoying. He has the most annoying personality on television.

Rosie, on the other hand, had a good point that he shouldn't be the moral compass of America (divorces, bankrupcys). It's her job to comment on this and he didn't have no name call.

I, however, don't like Rosie 100% anyway. She isn't exactly moral (i.e. her lifestyle)...

So, my question is, who so you think is in the right?

I thought that if you were arrested for anything that you had to be read your rights. The first time my daughter was arrested in Rockport, In, where her ex-father-in-law is the town jailer, she was arrested for pushing her ex-mother-in-law. They did not read her the miranda rights then. She is behind in her child suport, and although they take 40% of the gross of her paychecks, she was told to come down and see her little girl, not to worry about the child support. Well, you got it, she goes to see my little granddaughter, who has just talked to her mommy and expecting to see her, and they arrest for non-payment of child support. She was not read her rights again. Are you supposed to have your rights read to you in Indiana when you are arrested or is it just a tv thing?

is there anyone out there who calls themselves this?
Can you give me more information about agnostics and i would assume they dont go to a church or read anything specific?

Ok, I know this is very superficial buuttt.....Ive got a pair of emus (theyre like after-ski boots) before uggs were "the thing" Theyre very cozy and I love them, but I hate how people always judge me!! They go, "are you wearing uggs?" I hate uggs, not the way they look just the whole "look how fashionaable I am!" vibe they have, but I feel stupid always being "No they are NOT uggs!!" Should I just keep correcting people?

I am getting married in a club at a ball park. They have vendors who walk around during game days selling margaritas out of backpacks. Would it be tacky to have one of these guys at my wedding reception?

if I go to a cell phone store that sells for multiple companies at once...

do they ADD fees on to the cell phone packages?

do they give BETTER deals...(?) than if I went to each company individually (Sprint, Altell, Verizon, etc)?

Or... are they just the same deals as the individual companies but the individual companies PAY THEM commission and I don't get an extra fee?
