Hi

I have a toilet that keeps on running after its supposed to turn off. After the tank fils up, it overruns into the bowl and keeps on running for 10minutes or so before shutting off. I can take the cover off and pull up the lever connected to the float to shut it off. Its definitely worse in hotter weather than on colder days. I have called a plumber twice to fix it, but it works fine for a month or so before going bad. Do I need to replace the whole thing or is there any adjustment I can make to the float?

Thanks.

Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
Power = Work / Time

because Time = Money, and Power = Knowledge, solving the equation for Money we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge

the closer knowledge gets to 0, the more money you make. do you think this is true?

I just found out from a "past" (as of about 2 hours ago) that this girl I really like just played me super bad. For the past two hours I have been the most angry at anyone other than my parents in my entire life. My feelings were toyed with and then discarded like I don't matter. Its funny because the girl never even told me how she felt... I had to wait and hear it from my so called friend, who went and talked to her even though I had asked him not to. He even went ahead and told her everything I had told him in confidence. Wow Im getting more mad as I write this lol. Anyways, so Ive been on the phone for the last two hours fuming to another friend. I log online when I get home and notice that she sent me an email... saying nothing about how she felt... nothing about needing to talk, just random stupid things. But then she said she was sad because she couldnt go into town tomorrow and she didnt end up going to the store she wanted today, and I felt sad for her I wanted to go hug her.

Do you think this might change Bush's idea of sending more troops to fight a loosing situation? An illegal situation that never should have been started in the first place?

I have a chair just like this one below...a louis 16th repro chair in a toile/heavy upholstery fabric but with a cheesier print on it. I wanted to re-upholster it but probably wouldnt do a good job and the chair isn't valuable enough to take to an upholsterer (its from JC Penny)...so just for fun I wonder if I painted it black with fabric paint would it work? It would have to be opaque to cover the design but would that cause cracking or peeling? Its ok if the texture comes through, and I know it would look kind of weird and/or edgy so dont worry about warning me about that, I just wonder how the paint or dye would hold up...also if you have experimented with success feel free to mention brands of paint etc. here's the link

In 1981 there was a study done "The Hurt Report" of 3,600 motorcycle accidents in the LA California area. This study addressed Factors, Identification and Conclusions. Within the study there was no mention of loud pipes as a counter measure, but did show that "Chopper/semi chopper" motorcycles were over represented in the accidents. (Most Choppers have Loud Pipes) Majority of accidents were frontal, whereas the sound of a motorcycle is projected rearward and with Doppler sound compression M/C exhaust can not be heard. The average reaction time for an accident was 2 seconds; therefore cracking pipes to gain attention is false for the rider would not have enough time to react. (I’d try to stop before applying more throttle) Also almost 50% of all fatal M/C accidents are alcohol related by the rider. 73% of riders involved did not have proper or any eye protection. DOT Helmets save lives, safe riding saves lives, and high visibility saves lives. Obeying the law saves rights!

Does anyone else deal with this, and what are your solutions or ideas. I am very health conscious and I take very good care of myself. However, I am either the energizer bunny or wiped out dead on the couch. I tend to push myself too far. Sometimes I think it is a mood issue as much as anything. I dunno

Why don't people realize this:

The reason why Bush is keeping our soldiers in Iraq is to stop Al Qaeda from making Iraq into another safe haven for terrorists. He's said that that is the reason, many times. If we left Iraq tommorow without stopping the insurgency, the terrorists would use Iraq as a hideout to launch a second terrorist attack on America. They would crash a plane into a nuclear plant and kill 7'000'000 Americans, and the civil warfare would quickly kill all 6'000'000 residents of Baghdad.

Therefore, SUPPORT VICTORY IN IRAQ, NOT FAILURE.

My mother left it in an airport bathroom when she was a young girl. She went right back in to get it and it was gone. My mom is now 85 years old and it would be a fantastic thing to find it. If you know of someone who has this little ring. Ask them where they got it. Thanks for your time....

I have a 2005 Gateway laptop that keeps shutting down whenever it feels like it. It had other problems (not pertaining to this), so I took it into Best Buy to get fixed. They started my computer from complete scratch when I got it back, so I don't get why it's doing this. Anyone can help?

I'm not the greatest with computers so if you have an idea, please be specific. Appreciate it.
