There is no point in having them take up space that they do not need to.

How to retrieve the sticky Note information on Windows 7?

It had some important info that I've been collecting for almost 3 years!! So please, help. I try not to think about it... but I can't stop.

I need some help with a crashed computer that was dumped on me.? I'm a new intern at a local office, and my supervisor asked me to clean, update, and pretty much organize a set of 10 HP laptops. They're Compaq 8510w, for those that want to know, btw. Anyway, when I got them they were all labeled with sticky notes C1 to C10. C10 was labeled as such: "C10- Crashed (maybe)." When it starts up, C10 goes from the normal HP startup screen to the Windows startup screen, and flashes through the WinXP login screen but displays no accounts or Welcome message. Then, it directly logs me into the Administrator account, also the only account. I also find it strange that the admin is not password protected. The order of little taskbar popups goes as follows: the Windows security alert, HP Wireless assistant, a full window for the Norton install, and it tells me the wireless networks are up. If that helps any. I have no idea what's wrong with this one or why it crashed in the first place. If any of you have guesses or answers, PLEASE...! In response to a few questions: -No, the computer is not locked up -I probably can go on the internet, but I don't want to chance it without antivirus. Even Norton. I'm not a fan of it myself, but I'm working with company computers. -All 9 other computers have 3 accounts: admin 1, admin 2, and a student account. This only has the admin 1. -I have very little experience with malfunctioning computers, so I don't know what to look for.

Anything else? 10 points best suggestion!? I start college in a month. I'm really excited and not as stressed now that I know I received enough aid to cover all my expenses. I already bought school supplies this is what I have stocked up.

What else do I need? (besides books and also I am living at home because it's community college so I don't need anything for a dorm room) And YES I bought all of this myself no help from parents so don't suggest anything really expensive.

Are my little subconcious quirks and habbits...normal? For some odd reason, every time i sit still, my hands decide to do something while my mind is wandering off, not entirely paying attention. For example-Whenever I watch tv, i pick at the small plant next to couch, shredding it with my fingernails. When i'm in class, i pull apart the plastic of my mechanical pencils, or the eraser. If it's a pen, the grip usually falls victim. At the computer desk, i either tear up sticky notes (which i occasionally and subconsciously organize to look like the shape of a star or a heart) or i pull apart those bars of staples until there is a tiny useless pile of single staples next to me (i'm looking at one right now). If i have nothing, i will either chip away at my nail polish or shamelessly peel at the skin around my thumbs. I don't notice I'm doing this until the damage is done, and i am either left writing-untensil less, or scolded for wasting sticky notes/staples and destroying my mothers plants (once i broke a jar handle she had put in place of a plant). Or, of course, i have unattractive fingers. Is there some psychological reason as to why i'm doing this? Does anyone else do something like this? Is this common? Does anyone know of a way to make myself stop?

why am i so forgetful? well it's not age, cause i'm only 29 and this has been happening since i was a teenager.....maybe sooner lol... i may have inherited it from my mom cause she is forgetful sometimes too...... but anyways. i lock my keys in my car or house........i lose things....... i forget everything. I have to tell my husband to remind me things or set alarms on my phone to remember things.... i have sticky notes i tape up on my computer to remind me of something......and sometimes i still forget! when i am talking to someone....i interrupt them and sometimes myself to say what i gotta say right then so i dont forget...... i daydream while driving and dont even remember actually driving. I then pass my exits and turns.... causing me to be late sometimes..... what causes this? what does it mean? can i fix it? I already take a million different vitamins and i eat very healthy......

How do you remember to do kegel exercises?? Okay so many sources recommend doing them, and they're not hard to do, and you can do them almost anywhere, but how do you remember to actually do them?? I find myself remembering to do a set like once a week, which is pretty ineffective. Any tips for remembering to do them? I've thought about putting a sticky note up on the computer screen/tv screen so I'd do them while online or watching a show, lol. Any other ideas? Ooo cell phone alerts -- that's a good one! lol these are some really helpful suggestions -- thanks guys! rinababy -- I do the same thing when I do remember to do them! Glad I'm not the only one, lol. I always felt so dumb and completely absent-minded.

I have a situation with my boss. Advice Please? I accepted a new job close to home in November. I was very happy with my old job, but had an hour commute everyday. Since I've been with the new company, it's just me and my boss in the office and twice now she has gone though my desk and computer, and files. She left everything in small stacks with sticky notes on them. Yesterday I took the day off to take care of my sick son and got this email from her "No problem, however, I noticed that you really have quite a few things to get done on your desk. When you get back can you please make an effort to catch up, maybe limit web use, personal calls, personal work etc… I will be happy to take messages for you so you can have a couple days to concentrate on catching up." There is just a small amount of filing that would take me 10 minutes to do, and we just went over my task list on Tuesday before I went home, and I'm caught up with all of my work. See more details as I'm running out of room..... I came in yesterday morning and took care of a few things that I knew needed to get done for the day, and sent her an email explaining what I did and that I needed to get home to take care of my son. She typically doesn't come in until 9:30 or later, and I am ususally here from 8:00 to 5:00. Sometimes I don't even take a lunch! Is it leagle for her to go through my stuff like that and my computer too? She even deleted the picture of my dog from my desktop!

Logitech Quickcam Ultra Vision: Microphone Problem on Other Programs? Hello, I'm using Logitech Quickcam Ultravision webcam that has a built-in microphone. The microphone works on the program that is provided with the webcam as well as MSN Messenger (although the webcam viewing on MSN Messenger doesn't work, but I think I found an answer, haven't tried it yet). However, the microphone doesn't work when I'm doing a sound test on one of my websites.

Anime Questionnaire the Third! (It comes with Style!)? I seem to be cranking these out (to be honest I just like reading everybody's answers to the questions I ask, I'm not trying to compete with anyone). But these things are, like, impossible to pick a best answer to, so for this one I'm just letting everybody fight amongst themselves. No, I will not pick a best answer, you have to vote for someone's. Is everybody sure on this? Sure? Sure you're sure? Yes, you're sure you're sure and just want me to get to the questions? Well, impatient much. #1. Have you ever had to stifle your laughter when you read/watch an anime or a manga because there are other people around? >>Yep. It's rare to find anime that comes across as humorous when I'm not in a group, but Kannagi has forced me to quiet my laughter for almost the entire epsiode. Most of that stuff is comedy gold, I tell you. #2. Do you have an anime desktop wallpaper on your computer? If so, link it please. Also, how often do you change the wallpaper? >>Of course I do, I've even been known to put anime wallpapers on public computers. I change my wallpaper when I get tired of it (about every six months). Here's my current one: http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/5603/destopbackground.jpg #3. Was there an anime just really rubbed you the wrong way, but you didn't know why? >>I get this with the Gundam franchise. I like most mecha anime, but for some reason I cannot get through even the first disc of a Gundam series. I've tried to watch a lot of them, including SEED and 00, but it just never worked for me. #4. What's an anime/manga that you just feel embarassed reading? It's not one that's particularly perverted, but you still feel embarrased it. >>I get this feeling when I read or watch Axis Powers Hetalia. There's nothing particularly wrong about the series (even the Yaoi bits come off as pretty tame), but I just feel extremely perverted reading it. I mostly blame the fanbase for this, nothing wrong with them but with all the fangirls and doujinshi out there, it skews the experiance. #5. What are you currently reading/watching? Do you keep track of it on a website or, my prefered method, through sticky notes? >>Yes, I keep track of everything I want to read/watch, or am currently reading/watching, on a multitude of sticky notes that are constantly being revised. I have a MAL account, I just never use it. I'm currently watching Sora no Woto, Hidden God, Kannagi, Chrono Crusade, and Ghost Hunt (I alternate them, so it's not like I watch them all in a row). I'm currently reading Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicles (third time trying to make it through the series!), Bokke-san, La Esperansa (sp?) and that's it. Although I just got my Yen+ magazine, so I guess I'm reading a lot more stuff. #6. Do you prefer an anime to stay close to its source material or deviate from the source? >>I usually like it when anime follows the main plot of the manga, but I like some variation. Where certain events are placed, as long as they still form the same storyline, don't bother me because I don't want to watch the same story twice. The only time I don't like variation is when an anime splits so far apart from the source that completely new characters that are essential to the anime's plot are introduced that never showed in the manga (not fillers). #7. How active do you think the anime sub-culture is in your area? Like, how easy do you think it would be to find a fellow anime/manga fan? >>I live in a mitten, in a small city. We're close to a lot of universities and libraries, though, which have Animanga clubs and a pretty large anime/manga selection. We also host a big anime convention near us. While I wouldn't say that the first person I see on the street is an anime fan, people who are at least semi-interested in the subject aren't uncommon. Now for the obligatory bonus question. BQ: Have you heard the Kannagi ending? It's amazing! Listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQohnV0I_GU&feature=PlayList&p=260E3D42C06209C1&index=77 Have a good day, peepettes and peeps. I'm tired and it's only eleven 'o clock. It's the weekend, what's become of me? @Allen: That Sleepless Beauty (Piano version) song is amazing! *Goes to favorite it on Youtube* As for the second song, that's the one he played on the Arc, right? I always wondered what it sounded like! Thank you. Lastly, I'm more of a manga fan my self, but I just happen to be watching a lot of anime lately. (Time for Durarara!)

Is this rude??? Im in chare of maintenance at my school...i have a employee in the day time that is hispanic. She sits at my desk and uses my phone and if i have sticky notes or other papers she will turn them over and write on the back of them or scribble. yesterday she took a sticky note and folded it in to an airplane. also when im at my desk on the computer she will be at the table behind me and talk on her cell phone. she can get kinda loud. But it bugs me because she only speaks in spanish on her phone. Is it rude to tell her if she is going to speak spanish on her phone then go out side and not to sit at my desk anymore? I dont mind if shes on her phone while on break but out side my offic i have a large shop she could go in and sit down and talk. its just annoying to hear some one speak and you dont know what they are saying and they get loud with it. Ha i wouldnt be rude to her i would say it tactful.....i once told her if she was going to talk on the phone in my office to speak english..and that if i was in mexico on the phone at work around my boss i would take my convo outside if he didnt speak english.

She heard the train stop and her son yell "All you sons of bitches who want to get off, get the hell off now, because this is the last stop! All of you sons of bitches that are getting on, get your asses in the train cause were leaving". The mother went in and told her son, "we don't use that kind of language in this house." Now I want you to go into your room for two hours. When you come out, you can play with your train, but I don't want to hear any bad language. Two hours later, the son comes out of his room and continues playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard the son say, "All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your ride was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon. For those of you who are just boarding the train, we ask that you stow all of your hand luggage under the seat, remember there is no smoking except on the club car.

The bride agrees. After 30 years of marriage, she notices that his drawer has been left open. She peeks inside and sees 3 golf balls and $1,000. She confronts her husband and asks for an explanation. He explains "Every time I was unfaithful to you, I put a golf ball in the drawer." She figures 3 times in 30 years isn't bad and asks "But what about the $1,000?"

Son : "Lets play mommy and daddy, you go upstairs and lay down on the bed." The mom said ok and went upstairs. The son put on his dad's fishing hat and lit up one of his dad's cigarettes. He went upstairs and opened the door. Mom : "Now what do I do?" Son : "Get your ass out of bed, you whore, and fix that kid some fucking ice cream." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An 80 year old couple were having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure nothing was wrong with them. When they arrived at the doctors, they explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple out, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them remember things. The couple thanked the doctor and left. Later that night while watching TV, the man got up from his chair and his wife asked, "Where are you going?" He replied, "To the kitchen." She asked, "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" He replied, "Sure." She then asked him, "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" He said, "No, I can remember that." She then said, "Well I would also like some strawberries on top. You had better write that down because I know you'll forget that." He said, "I can remember that, you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." She replied, "Well I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you better write it down." With irritation in his voice, he said, "I don't need to write that down! I can remember that." He then fumes into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily: "I TOLD you to write it down! You forgot my toast!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One day a girl brings home her boyfriend and tells her father she wants to marry him. After talking to him for while, he tells his daughter she can't do it because he's her half brother. The same problem happens again four more times! The girl starts to get pissed off.

Dad's been going around laying every maiden in the town and now I can't marry any of the five guys I like because they have turned out to be my half brothers!!!" Her mom replies, "Don't worry darling, you can marry any one of them you want, he isn't really your dad." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The patient says, "Give me the bad news first!"

The moaning voice then groaned '14.........14.........14.......14.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A hobo comes up to the front door of a neat looking farmhouse and raps gently on the door. When the farm owner answers, the hobo asks him, "Please, sir, could you give me something to eat? I haven't had a good meal in several days." The owner says, "I have made a fortune in my lifetime by supplying goods for people. I've never given anything away for nothing. However, if you go around the back, you will see a gallon of paint and a clean paint brush. If you will paint my porch, I will give you a good meal." So the hobo goes around back and a while later he again knocks on the door. The owner says, "Finished already? Good. Come on in. Sit down. The cook will bring your meal right in." The hobo says, "Thank you very much, sir. But there's something that I think you should know. It's not a Porsche you got there. It's a BMW." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is why I didn't show up for work yesterday. I was cleaning out my wife's grandpa's cellar and found 12 bottles of his home-bottled grape wine under the steps. My wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else. I agreed to do the unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork form the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork from the second bottle, did likewise, and drank one glass, just to check the taste to see if the old fellow knew his wine making. He did. I then opened the third bottle, and poured it, too, down the sink, but not until drinking one full glass to check the purity. It was very good. I did this, also with the fourth bottle. One glass for myself, and the rest down the sink. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next, and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork from the bottle, then corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour. When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were 29, and as the house came by I counted them again, and finally had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank. I felt so foolish that I couldn't go upstairs and congratulate my wife to tell her what a great winemaker her grandpa was. I will do that after climbing the basement steps the next time they come by. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Junior had just received his brand new drivers license. To celebrate, the whole family trooped out to the driveway and climbed into the car for his inaugural drive. Dad immediately headed to the back seat, directly behind the newly minted driver. "I'll bet you're back there to get a change of scenery after all those months of sitting in the front passenger seat teaching me how to drive," said the beaming boy to his old man. "Nope," came dad's reply, "I'm gonna sit back here and kick the back of your seat while you drive, just like you have been doing to me for sixteen years." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two old ladies have played bridge together for many years, and naturally they have gotten to know each other pretty well. One day, during a game of cards, one lady suddenly looks up at the other and says, "I realize we've known each other for many years, but for the life of me, I just can't bring it to mind... would you please tell me your name again, dear?" There is dead silence for a couple of minutes, then the other lady responds, "How soon do you need to know?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You know there are starving people in those third world countries, and you're just wasting that food. Then package it up and ship it to 'em if you're so concerned you dumb shit! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man went to apply for a job. After filling out all of his applications, he waited anxiously for the outcome. The employer read all his applications and said, "We have an opening for people like you." "Oh, great," he said, "What is it?" "It's called the door!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The widow takes a look at her dear departed one right before the funeral and, to her horror, finds that he's in his brown suit. She'd specifically said to the undertaker that she wanted him buried in his blue suit; she'd brought it especially for that occasion, and she was distressed that the mortician had left him in the same brown suit he'd been wearing when the lightning bolt hit him. She demanded that the corpse be changed into the blue suit she'd brought especially for that purpose. The undertaker said, "But madam! It's only a minute or two until the funeral is scheduled to begin! We can't possibly take him out and get him changed in that amount of time. The lady said, "Who's paying for this?" Seeing the logic to this argument, a very reluctant mortician wheeled the coffin out, but then wheeled it right back in a moment later. Miraculously, the corpse was in a blue suit. After the ceremony, a well-satisfied widow complimented the undertaker on the smooth and speedy service. She especially wanted to know how he'd been able to get her husband into a blue suit so fast. The funeral director said, "Oh, it was easy. It happens that there was another body in the back room and he was already dressed in a blue suit. All we had to do was switch heads! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?!?!?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!" Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?" The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A guy sticks his head in the barber shop and asks, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around the shop and says, "About two hours." The guy leaves. A few days later, the same guy sticks his head in the door and asks, "How long before I get a haircut?" The barber looks around the shop full of customers and says, "About two hours." The guy leaves. A week later, the same guy sticks his head in the shop and asks, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around the shop an says, "About an hour and half." The guy leaves. The barber looks over at a friend in the shop and says, "Hey Bill, follow that guy and see where he goes." In a little while, Bill comes back into the shop laughing hysterically. The barber asks, "Bill, where did he go when he left here?" Bill looked up and said, "To your house." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man walked into the office of the eminent psychiatrist Dr. Von Bernuth, and sat down to explain his problem. "Doctor, doctor!" he started. "No need to repeat yourself, my good man," replied the doctor. "One 'doctor' is enough." "Yes, well, you see, I've got this problem," the man continued. "I keep hallucinating that I'm a dog. A large, white, hairy Pyrenees mountain dog. It's crazy. I don't know what to do!" "A common canine complex," said the doctor soothingly. "Come over here and lie down on the couch." "Oh no, Doctor. I'm not allowed up on the furniture." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once there was a millionaire, who collected live alligators. He kept them in the pool in back of his mansion. The millionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single. One day, the millionaire decides to throw a huge party, and during the party he announces, "My dear guests, I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars, or my daughter, to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge unharmed!" As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large splash in the pool. The guy in the pool was swimming with all his might, and the crowd began to cheer him on. Finally, he made it to the other side of the pool unharmed. The millionaire was impressed. He said, "That was incredible! Fantastic! I didn't think it could be done! Well, I must keep my end of the bargain. Do you want my daughter or the one million dollars?" The guy catches his breath, then says, "Listen, I don't want your money! And I don't want your daughter! I want the asshole who pushed me in the pool!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The teacher of the Earth Science class was lecturing on map reading. He spent the class explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees, and minutes. Towards the end of class, the teacher asked his students, "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude..." A student's voice broke the confused silence, and volunteered, "I guess you'd be eating alone, sir." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two women that are dog owners are arguing about which dog is smarter....

Second Woman : "My dog told me." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A woman in Brooklyn decided to prepare her Will and make her final requests. She told her rabbi she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered all over Bloomingdales. "Why Bloomingdales?" asked the rabbi. "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a boy who worked in the produce section of a super market. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, only half. The boy explained that he would have to ask the manager and so he walked into the back room and said, "There is some jerk out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce." As he finished saying this, he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager okayed the request and the man went on his way. Later on the manager said to the boy, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from, son?" The boy replied, "Minnesota, sir." "Oh, really? Why did you leave Minnesota?" inquired the manager. The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there." "My wife is from Minnesota", exclaimed the manager. The boy instantly replied, "Really! What team did she play for?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man went to a pet shop and bought a talking parrot. He took the parrot home, and tried to teach the parrot how to say a few things, but instead the parrot just swore at him. After a few hours of trying to teach the bird finally the man said "If you don't stop swearing I'm going to put you in the freezer as punishment." The parrot continued, so finally the man put the bird in the freezer. About an hour later the parrot asked the man to please open the door. As the man took the shivering bird out of the freezer it said "I promise to never swear again. Just tell me what that turkey did!" I Have no Idea what happened here!! SORRY

Have you ever forged/faked your parent's signature? Our parents had to sign our math test if we got 70% or below and return to school the next morning, and I faked my Mom's signature because I didn't want my parents to see my low grade, and I handed it in today, but later today when I left my purse in her classroom and went to go get it a few hours later. My teacher wasn't in the room i saw a sticky note on my math teacher's computer that said my phone number and underlined "call tonight!" I wonder if she was calling about my purse because it had my school id in it or because my signature may have looked a little different. I just want stories that make me feel better and not so guilty. Also, were you caught? What happened? I never get in trouble!

Is this story any good?Grammar is unimportant. PROLOGUE I am Zachary James. Also known as Z the famous detective. This is the story of one of my cases. The main suspect: myself. I was 22 and my alias was already being said in whispers around the world. I had already assisted the FBI. And the British agencies like MI6 had caught wind of me. I had recently helped catch a serial killer called The Mayberry Murderer who killed in small towns across America. The FBI had requested I appear in his trial but not wanting to reveal my true identity I had declined and instead given a written statement. The murderer pleaded insanity, but thanks to my written testimony this was proved to be a lie, his actions were premeditated and evil. Hence he was sentenced to lethal injection for the Hyannis crimes he committed. Now a week after the trial I was walking to a café to meet someone in the FBI who would give me my pay for the case. The man always got a cut for his secrecy. And as an added bonus many of the other agents thought he was Z which got him respect.I picked a different location every time for our meetings and always made sure they were discreet. The FBI agent didn’t even know my name. He only knew me by my face. In the distance I could see the sleek sports car I had probably helped pay for, and the FBI agent sitting at the café table. The reason the café was a great meeting place was because not only was it going out of business soon it was closed that day. I sat down at the table. Bill Modet stared at me seriously. His last name was pronounced Mode-ay a French name. His family came from France but that had been generations ago. He had no wife. His only goals were to get promotions and a bigger paycheck. Which I helped him do, as my fame rose so did his, he already had gotten a promotion because of me. I almost felt under dressed he was in a suit and all I had on were jeans and a white T-shirt. The money was in a small suitcase next to his chair. He got up, to I thought hand it to me. But instead he cuffed my hands. Thinking he had double crossed me I did roundhouse kick to his gut. As he went down I saw four other armed men in suits come out of nowhere. Then suddenly I felt a sting in my back, and I crumbled to the ground. My last thoughts before I passed were that my shirt was going to be SO dirty, and they were paying the dry cleaner. I woke up. A bright fluorescent light stung my eyes. I knew who I would see sitting across from me and almost wanted to pass out again. I looked up anyway. In the chair across the table was a man I knew very well. Although, I had never met him in person. The head of the FBI, Henry Wilkins. We sat silently for several moments, obviously he was waiting for me to speak. Naturally I didn’t. Why should I? I didn’t come here willingly. Finally he took the hint and spoke.“Do you know why we brought you here Z?” he asked with no emotion. “No sir I don’t.” I answered. “Well, we have a video of you committing a murder.” “Am I under arrest?” “No.” “Well I think I’ll be leaving then.” “We don’t have you under our custody Z but we can’t let you leave. And if your worried your covers been blown don’t worry. The only people who know you’re here are the agents who brought you in and myself.” “Do you know my real name?” “No. We figured having you in custody was sufficient.” “Who exactly am I supposed to have murdered?” “A department store owner.” “And how did you get this tape?” “It was sent to a television studio. They watched the tape and saw the murder.” “Wouldn’t they have sent it the police?” “Not under the circumstances. Because the murderer in the tape died four years before the crime.” “I thought you said it showed me as the murderer.” “Hold on we’ll get to that.” “May I watch this tape?” “Of course, I was just about to suggest we watch it.” As if on cue a tv appeared. It had been hidden inside the wall on the far side of the room. Suddenly, on the screen you could see what looked like a middle-aged man sitting at a desk. Then another man came into view. He had a pistol pointed at the man sitting. He fired one shot to the head, bam! The man at the desk fell to the floor like a rag doll. The man holding the gun, for the first time looked up toward the camera. Then the image paused and zoomed in on his face. He was in his sixties, and his hair was buzz cut.The image stayed that way for several moments then went blank. “That was what the tape looked like when we got it. At first we thought it was a fake, but when we went to that department store, guess what we found?” he asked. “A body?” “Of course .So now that we knew the tape was real we also knew it had been doctored. So our tech guys got to work and came up with this.” The screen came on again. This time it showed exactly the same scene except at the end I saw myself looking into the camera. “And yes we know that it wasn’t doctored any further.” “Yes but how did you identify me without looking up my name?” “Well Modet was watching the tape after we had fixed it and saw you. He automatically told us who it was. Then we simply waited until you came to get your money.” “Why didn’t you just arrest me then? Instead of dragging me here.” “Because of your past help to us we decided to give you a chance to give us an alibi.” “Well I have no alibi. But I can prove my innocence. Please have someone rewind the tape.” Then the tv automatically started to rewind. “Stop.” it paused just as the man held out the gun to shoot. “ Alright zoom in on the arm holding the gun out.” When it had finished zooming Mr. Wilkins said, “What is the point of this?” “Well sir,”I said getting up. “Look at his arm then look at mine.” Mr. Wilkins sat staring for a moment then said, “The person on the screen has indentations where a watch used to be. And your arm doesn’t.” “Correct, I hate wearing watches they get in the way.” “Im afraid that isn’t enough to prove your innocence.” “Ah, rewind the tape to when the person first enters the screen,” I asked, “Okay if you’ll have someone check the height of this person you’ll see they are actually several inches shorter than me, although that is just a guess.” At that moment the screen went blank again and Mr. Wilkins left the room. Several minutes past and then he returned. “You were right. The man on the screen is only 5"5 and your at least 5"8.” “Im 5'10 actually. So is that enough to clear my name?” “I guess so.” “Does that mean I can Leave?” “No actually. We just happen to need your help.” “I just helped with a case not long ago. I work from my home. So may I please leave?” “No this case is to important. We’ve got you your own office here with everything you’ll need.” “Fine I guess I don’t have a choice. I will help you.” “Okay then we’ll have you on a plane soon.” “I thought you said you had an office for me here.” “I never said “here”. But we do have you an office in England.” Since I didn’t have a choice I got up and left with Mr. Wilkins. Apparently I was somewhere deep in the FBI headquarters. We walked up many flights of stairs meeting many people along the way. All of them nodded or smiled at there superior and either stared at me or didn’t notice I was there. Finally we made it to the ground floor. From there we walked to a small black car, a chauffeur opened the backseat door, and we both got in. The ride there was pretty uneventful. Halfway I asked about my personal belongings. He said that I would have everything I needed there. When we arrived at the airport I saw a small luxury jet waiting for us. We both got out and the as I started to board the jet I noticed Mr. Wilkins wasn’t climbing the steps with me. “Aren’t you coming to?” I asked. “No” he said “I wont be accompanying you. But if you have any questions just ask the agents I have there already.” “Alright.” I said going through the doorway. When I got inside the pilot quickly shut the door behind me. There was no one else on the jet. It was going to be a long journey to England. The seats in the jet were quite comfy. The mini~fridge was stocked with lots of drinks and snacks. By the time we landed I had already eaten anything chocolate and drank a few cans of Dr.Pepper. As I got up I felt stiff my left leg had fallen asleep. I walked out the doorway and was greeted with the misty gray of London England. A shiny Bug pulled up in front of me, I got into the backseat and buckled up. The driver had graying hair and a chauffeurs uniform. We drove about twenty minutes then we stopped outside a large hotel. The chauffeur got out and opened my door. I was about to walk away when he put a hand on my shoulder and said, “They told me to tell you that your in room 55. Also that you have clothes waiting for you and you can order anything you want from room service.” “Alright thank you.” “Oh yes and one other thing the said that you needed to be dressed and in the lobby by six tonight someone going to come and pick you up.” “What’s the occasion?” “They didn’t say.” And with that final note he got back into the car and drove away. I turned around to look at the building. This was the first time he had to become close to a case. He didn’t like it but he could never turn down a mystery. Chapter One I walked into the lobby and for the first time noticed the large stain from when I was knocked out. That felt like ages ago. Hopefully no one would notice. I approached the front desk where a peppy looking woman smiled at me and said, “Hello sir,”she giggled as she said sir, “Your in room 55, correct.” “Yes, how did you know?” I questioned. “Well when the person reserved the room they told us to give the key to the guy with the large stain on his shirt.” at this point she couldn’t hold back the laughter. “Jerks....”I muttered. “What was that?” “Oh I was just thinking out loud. May I have my room key?” “Of course,” she said handing it to me. “But could you wait the other clerk will get a kick out of you.” Of course I left before she could come back. The elevator ride up was un-eventful, it was playing that awful elevator music. When I finally arrived on my floor it was eerily quiet. After the over cheerful tune in the elevator it seemed creepy in the silence. My room was the first door on the left. I walked in and explored my new quarters. It had a bed with a large blue quilt on it, in fact the whole room was blue. You wouldn’t think it would look nice but it was actually rather homey. I walked up to the wardrobe and changed into another shirt and jeans. It was almost five and while most people would tour the city I just stayed in my hotel. He had already been to all the sights. I’ll I wanted to do was rest and wait until six. So I flopped down onto the bed and decided to assess the situation. It had only been this morning when he had been walking to meet Modet. Then he had been jumped before he got paid. Which reminds me they still haven’t given me the money. Then he had been sent to FBI headquarters, Im still not sure how long I was knocked out for. Then I was accused of being a murderer. The claim was completely false although it seems like they let me go a little to quickly. I was quickly boarded onto a jet and flown here. Now that I think about it that tape seems a little to convenient.....that they would just “happen” to need my help. As I was thinking of all this I slowly drifted off to sleep.*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* wonder whose at the door, I thought, Oh yeah! Someone was picking me up at six! I didn’t have time to change if they were already here. So I walked up to the door to see.....the clerk from the front desk and another clerk. “Oh darn Nigel! He’s already changed. Oh well, sorry to have disturbed you.” she said as they walked away. “Phew”I breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the clock I saw that it read Ten minutes till six. I still had time! But I knew I’d have to hurry. Seven minutes later his hair was combed he had on a black suit and he was ready. I went down into the lobby to wait. Sitting in a chair I saw a beautiful woman in a dress walk in. She approached the desk. Smiling at me as she went by then she said, “Im here to pick someone up,” I stood up hopefully. At that moment a guy in a biker jacket walked up and said “Oh Im here.” “Ok come on” And they both walked towards the door. As they were about to walk in an American man of only maybe twenty ran through the door up to the desk and said through gasping breaths “Im here to pick.....someone.....up!” *Drat* I thought. “He should have had a large stain on his shirt when he got in.” At that the woman at the desk grinned broadly and pointed to me. The man ran up to me and said, “Sorry Im late! Nice suit, The cars outside come on.” “Alright.....” “Oh yeah my names Jesse.”Then we both walked out to the car. I got in on the passengers side while he got into the drivers seat. “So Jesse where are we going?”I asked. “Oh we’re going back to headquarters.” he said nervously. “Why are you acting so strange.” “Well its just that you are one of the best detectives alive!” “Oh,....what do you mean by alive?” “Oh well there was Gable Dayne. He WAS the best detective ever!” “Oh” I said thinking about what to say. Instead we drove the rest of the way in silence. It was a short drive. We went past Big Ben. Then we came to a stop only four blocks away. It looked like a fairly new building. It had shiny windows with one-way glass, they could see out but you couldn’t see in. We approached the front door. There was a code to open the door. Jesse said they each had one, everyone on the task force that is. After he had typed in the code, I thought we would enter but then he flipped open another hidden box and put his eye to it. “Just in case” he said. Finally, we entered inside was a large office. To the left of the door was a fridge beside that a stove. It was a kitchen. Across the room I could see through a doorway a bathroom. There were a many closed doors I assumed were bedrooms it was like a house. “Where is everybody?” I asked. “Oh, they’re downstairs in the media room. That’s where we’ll be most of the investigation. This part of the headquarters is only used to relax.” I could already tell that I wouldn’t be spending much time up here. He barely ever rested during a case. We went down some stairs to the media room. “This is what I was expecting.” I said. The media room had a whole wall of monitors. Each one showing a different news station. A few were even connected to cameras on the streets. Another portion of the room was devoted to computers. The room had low lighting and was very calm feeling. There were guys scattered about the room paying attention to one thing or another. “Ahem...”Jesse said trying to get there attention. Immediately they all looked up, a little startled. They looked kind of angry at Jesse at first for interrupting them. Then they saw me and ran up to greet us. Their were five of them. They all stood in a row, and said there names one at a time. “Hello Im Fenway Im head of this case. Nice to meet you.” Fenway was average height with a sturdy build. He was in his late fifties with graying hair. “Hi Im James Im glad to make your acquaintance.” James was tall with blond hair. He was in his middle thirties. “Hey Im Carter Im glad we can work together. ” Carter was in his early fifties, with black and gray hair. “Hello I am Bergen I hope we can solve this case.” Bergen had a German accent. He was skinny with brown hair. He was in his early thirties. “Nice to meet you Im Darius” Darius was tall and muscular. He was in his middle thirties. “Its nice to meet you all.” I said. “Yeah its funny how they got you here with that fake videotape!” Jesse said. “You idiot that was a secret!” Fenway said hitting him on the head. “Sorry” “Can we please get to the case already!”I said. “Sure,” Fenway said “come over to the computers and we’ll show you the files. We walked over to them and James pulled up some photos. Telling me the names of each person in them. Seventeen, in all, they had disappeared at different times all in the same month. None of them had any noticeable connections. Everyone was baffled. “I bet Dane could solve this no problem!” Jesse said. “Oh here we go again. He’s always rambling about him.” said Darius. “Well its true! Did you know that he has solved the most difficult cases the world has known! And that he did it all without ever showing his true identity. To bad that when Lotor died we never heard from him again. Of course now we know it was actually Lotor all along who was Dane.” Jesse went on and on about his accomplishments and how he could have easily solve this case. I finally couldn’t take it anymore. “ I am Gable Dane!” I admitted. Everyone stared at me in shock. “But you can’t be! Lotory was Dane! That’s why we never heard from him again! He’s a legend!” “Don’t you understand! Lotory was my old contact with the FBI when he died I decided it was time to retire.” “But why retire?” “Well I had already been doing detective work for five years-“ “Hold it,” James interrupted “If you had been doing detective work for five years when Lotory died you would have only been 14 when you took on the alias Gable Dane, that’s impossible.” “No its not. I was an orphan with ‘special’ abilities. You see, when I was a child I lived in an orphanage. One day I decided to runaway. There was no point in me staying there. The other children would come and go. Always being adopted or dropped off so making friends was hard. When I ran away I didn’t pack up a handkerchief full of my possessions and start walking even at that age I knew that was foolish. Instead I made sure to get enough money for a laptop a cell phone and food. I got in contact with Lotory anonymously providing him with tips. I stayed in a warehouse that was empty. I got information by hacking into the FBI’s database. Then I would tell my suspicions to Lotory. After I had helped him with many cases I set up a meeting with him. Of course he was surprised by my age. But Lotory was getting on in years and decided that it was a ‘I scratch your back you scratch mine’ kind of thing. I helped solve cases and get him respect and in turn he gave me the money from the cases. I have the same routine with Modet now. After many years as partners Lotory died. It was then that I decided to take a break from solving crimes. I had plenty of money plus since I was eighteen I could get a house. After four years of doing virtually nothing I decided to come back with a new alias.” “But why get a new alias at all?”asked Bergen. “Because I knew if I approached an FBI agent with my old alias they either wouldn’t believe me or if they did they would try to get me into custody.” “Makes sense. The FBI suspected you were that’s why they tricked you with the videotape.” Fenway said. “I was wondering why the tape originally showed Lotory as the murderer. None of this can leave this cant leave this room,” I said “No one can know Im Gable Dane. Do you all promise?” They all agreed. “Good if you hadn’t you may have been assassinated.” At that statement they all looked a little nervous. Jesse especially. Of course, they should have been because I wasn’t joking. The next few days were uneventful. We didn’t have leads, witnesses, or evidence. So all we could do was wait. Everyone else slept on the first floor. They found out quickly that I immerse myself into a case. Instead of sleeping upstairs they brought me down an army cot which I barely slept on anyway. I watched the monitors and computer screens almost constantly, finally I decided to look over each of the records. I noticed a subtle pattern. Each person was one, related to, or friends with someone in the media, journalist, photographers etc. I wished there was an easy way to know what they were about to write. Everyone who probably knew was missing, in my opinion dead. There was one other way and that was to go look through there personal files, there desk, even a sticky note would help. I told the other task force members, they reviewed the files and agreed, surprised I noticed something so small. We decided that after we got the legal stuff over with we would look through the actual journalist house and office first, then move onto they’re friends houses. We searched order of location. The first seven had nothing but in the eighth house we actually found a clue, a printer jam had caused a piece of paper to come out with chunks missing it said, GoPepsi The reason he couldnt distinguish Z from the murderer was because they looked exactly the same.The real murderer had surgeory or make up on to look like Z. Also I planned on adressing the whole "How did Zachary get in contact with Lotory" thing later on in the story or in another book altogether. The reason he told these people was so they wouldnt doubt his deductive skills.Also he told them what would happen if they blabbed. Well it takes him a while for two reasons: 1. He doesnt think to look over the profiles thinking they had covered everything before he got there. 2.They werent ALL in the media some were only friends with people who worked in the media.So the relation wasn't just jumping out at him. Later on in the story I plan on telling that SOME of the reporters were paid not to say anything,while there friends didn't comply and were killed. The reason these 8 were assembled is that some were asked for there talents and some volunteered. Guess my age?

i don't like my mom's friend, what should i do? Sorry its so long short version: guy has an angry wife but hangs out with my mom and leaves love notes. she now said for him not to come around so she'll be gruppy cause she doesn't have a friend. i think its wrong to cheat. what do i do? what do you think? what do i do with the notes i stole? (i'm 15) my mom and dad have been split up for awhile. She has this guy friend from her old work. Friends for at least 3 years. I was ok with him cause i actually thought he was just a friend. Well he would come to my house alot, have coffee with my mom, just hang out, whatever. I hate him now and my family knows that. i get in arguments with my mom about how he shouldn't be at our house with her cause he's married and has a daughter(17). She says that his wife hits him, gets angry. His wife and his daughter get in alot of fights too. and that its not our business of what he should or shouldn't do. She says that he sees how were a happy family and she doesn't want to say "no you can't be a part of this". i still think its wrong to cheat. A year ago they went on a medical cruise together. This year they went to disneyland area for a medical conference (for his medical area). While they were gone i found a box of notes that he wrote for her on sticky notes. they say things like "i love you" and just of that sort with the date. i took them and hid them. I don't know what to do with them, when i was angry i wanted to give them to his wife so she could sue him. i can't use them in arguments. i don't know what to do. i can't pretend to be nice to him, i look at him mad, he asked if i was happy for him for passing some medical test, i flat out said no in front of him and my family. my mom today told me that she told him not to come around anymore so now she is going to be grumpy and do things by her self. why can't i have my cake and eat it too. I don't hate him for no reason, i think if his family life is that bad then get a divorce not go see another woman. my mom only seems really happy around him. which pisses me off, i feel like i'm not good enough. My whole life i've tried to be the best, i get straight A's don't over talk on the phone, don't hang with friends excessivly, don't shop alot but i'm not good enough to make her happy and i hate that. i like having family time but she doesn't. the other day we were about to have dinner when he came over and she said "you go eat, i'm taking a walk with him" my grandma lives with us, she always supports them. She used to say i'll pay for you two to go out to dinner. One time they went out to dinner didn't come home till like 5am. i called her at 3am and she said she went to her office to pick up her computer. Another time they went to a party that one of her office workers were hosting and again didn't come home till morning, she said they and others just fell asleep there. all my family is really nice to him, why don't they see that he has a wife??? sorry again its so long i get all angry with her and him but then later i'm really nice to my mom and we have a good relationship till he comes up and it goes sour. i can't stand these bad feelings of anger and all. i want to be happy, and i want her to be happy. I'm just numb, don't smile, laugh alot, its horrible and its tearing me up inside

What can someone do with my computers IP ADDRESS?? Could someone track where I have been going on the net if they had my IP address? I play on the pc sometimes at work and dont want my boss to know it. What can he do with the IP address? I seen a sticky note with it on his desk!!! HELP!

Is he interested or just friendly? I just started working with this guy and the first day I met him he was very friendly and joking around with me. On the days he isn't there, he leaves me notes with funny drawings and jokes, but he always writes a heart and his name at the end of the note. He even took the time to make a huge picture on the wall of sticky notes. And when I see him, he always likes talking to me for a long period of time and likes showing me stuff on his computer and talks about his car. Recently, he needed me to cover for him one day, so instead of the normal email, he sent me an email, found me on facebook, and gave me his number on facebook. He told me to send him a text, which I did, yet he didn't text back. It might have been b/c it was really late at night. I asked him if he got it and he said "sure did!". What do you think? My friend thinks he's interested, but I'm not sure if he's just being a friendly person b/c it's too early to tell. I've known him for about a month and when the summer comes we are gonna be working together at the same time. lol, he didn't say "sure did! What did you think?" he just said "sure did!" The whole "what do you think" part is me asking you guys what you think about the situation.

Do you think...? that the way questions are answred on the computers and internet section is largely ineffective? I mean when the same question is being asked for the 13490 time within the past 24 hrs, do you think we are actually not answering the questions that honestly shed new light? we should really petition yahoo to put up a few "sticky notes" that can be read. (everyone who agrees can start by asking this question again and again so some of the higher uppers read it. It would also helped if you starred this question) this way, at least this section, will not be hampered and bogged down with the same questions like (taken straight from yahoo answeres computer and internet section) "what is a good virus protection program?" "where can i get music for free?" "how can i put music on my myspace?" "which is better pc or mac?" "Which is better windows vista or windows xp?" "why doesn't mac ever get viruses?" "What is limewire?" "How do i put music on my itunes?" It would be much more efficient...

Can someone give me good advice Roommate issues? I need some help my best friend told her ex she was moving out before she even talked to anyone about finding a place to stay so me being me i let her move in i didn't want her to be homeless as she also said since i have dogs that need to go out she would take them out during the day while i was at work since she doesn't work even though i didnt expect her to that was a deal we had made well she helped around the house and had the dogs out and the house was clean until i felt bad for her and let her boyfriend move in with her and now things have just gone bad at first it was great but now she doesn't wanna help around the house and when she does she will do one thing and nothing else or start on the dishes and not finish them or stack them up and just not do them while i was working i would come home to a house that hadn't been touched and she would be sitting on my computer or watching tv which in my opinion i think isn't fair considering i work 40+ hours a week while she sits at home and does nothing I have taken her to find a job and she will get the application and not turn it in its like she isnt even trying and her boyfriend only works 2 nights a week they have been living here for almost 3 months now and i asked her how much money they have saved up for their own place and they tell me not much so i told her i would take her to put in applications for apartments but the problem with that is they want to live in one apartment complex which is alot of money to come up with and i tried to talk to her and help her by saying you cant be to picky a place is a place on top of they dont wanna help me out with buying toilet paper like on day i left and forgot to get toilet paper and instead of buying some for 1.00 they supposedly didn't use the bathroom all day and i went and bought some that night with the grocery's we have went to yours are yours and mine are mine due to them eating all of the food i buy but then turn around and they dont want us eating their food i have had several talks with them about whats bothering me and they will start doing what we talk about for a couple of days and then its back to sleeping all day long and not helping out i have also noticed being bad mouthed by her on myspace which i feel really angry about considering i opened my door and helped her out and here she is talking bad about me I have also had complaints from the people who live downstairs about them being to loud during their activity at night and even when they play wrestle and i have asked them to keep it down and they make up reasons why they cant which i think is very disrespectful and when someone comes over she always has a attitude and acts like a snobb and goes in her room and shuts the door I have also tried putting sticky notes up like when you use all the toilet paper please replace it or leaving them notes and they just take it down and throw it away just like when they put a pan full of something in the fridge and i thought it was bad and they wasnt here to ask them i didnt know what it was so i threw it away and i did apologize for doing so and next thing you know they buy a box of something go to put it in the cabinet and write on the box dont throw away and to me i feel like their being smartypants about it and when she gets out of the shower she has a bad habbit of leaving the shower head pointed toward the wall for some reason and i asked her to make sure she puts it back down if not when the next person goes to use the shower water floods the bathroom and when i asked her if she forgot to put it down even after she just got out of the shower she said it wasnt her i dunno what else to do im starting to get annoyed i dont wanna loose our friendship but i cant take no more i feel disrespected and that they dont appreciate anything they do pay 1/2 rent even though i was nice enough to not make them pay half of everything so they could save up money they still have nothing saved up but i cant take this nemore its causing me to have relationship problems due to fighting about them and i try to stick up for them and me and my boyfriend get into it even though i do know sometimes he is right we would prob. be better off by ourselves again and when i talk to her about getting her place and try to help her get a job so she can get her 2 year old daughter back from her mom it goes in one ear and out the other she says she wants to better herself and get her daughter back and when i try to help her its like she doesnt even try does anyone have any good advice on how i can either approach them about getting out or help me in general i dunno what to do?

Is he interested or just a friend? Because at first I thought he was interested when he left me notes with a heart in front of his name, covered a wall in sticky notes to make a picture for me, and then found me on facebook to give me his number for school and we hang out after class watching family guy on his computer. He's always showing off and talking to me, it's cute. But I don't know now because when I was leaving him a message on facebook it seems like he has a lot of friends that are girls and hangs out with them like he does me, he even asked a girl to get a drink sometime even though she never responded. So now I don't think I'm any different than him. He's not a player, believe me. I have a gut feeling he does like me but at the same time, not sure. What do you think? EDIT- I'm not 100% sure that he hangs out with them like me, it just seems like he's friends with them. I have no clue if he made giant pictures of sticky notes for them! I looked at his facebook b/c I was making sure he was single since I have been played before and been out with guys w/ gf's before. Its not fun.

Am I seizing? This is the first time it happened. I'm scared. ? I've been having lots of trouble sleeping but have always have since a child. Sometimes when I sleep I hear a crowd of people and get scared and try to wake up but then I can't move. Last night I realized the crowd of people in my head turned into a loud buzzing noise and my head felt like someone put a huge vibrator in it. My head jerked back, my body stiffened and I couldn't control my mouth movements for about 30 seconds. The buzzing noise has happened before 3 years ago but this is the first time I have felt this "jerking" motion(included with the paralysis where electric beeping and voices were heard and I couldn't move) where it scared me that I didn't want to try to fall back to sleep. . Is this a seizure? Is this going to get worse? Will my heart stop? or do I have epilepsy? I'm really scared and don't know what to do. I used to be on Lamictal for my bi-polar but it didn't seem to help any I've been off of it for 7 months now and have felt find until now. I know Lamictal can be used for epileptics as well but my concern is do I need it if I'm expriencing these vibrations and uncontrollable body movements. My heart starts to race after that and I go into a weird manic state where I'm dizzy now and cannot stop sorting out objects or obsessing over sticky notes, obssesively cleaning, horrible frustration spells, will not stop at all even though I'm nodding off at the computer, irritablility(always have been since I do have a panic disorder and ADHD, PTSD, Generalized anxiety disorder)but never has my energy level been this far up before. ..any help with what this is would be great. thank you if you took the time to read my message.

Tablet PC stuff is gone?!? I have Windows Vista Home Premium, and the other day I installed an optional update for my computer to do with tablets, but this rendered my mouse utterly useless, so I uninstalled it... Today, I went to open Windows Journal and it couldn't find the .exe file! I tried Sticky Notes, Snipping Tool... ALL GONE?! Is there any way I can get these back? I really need them, and don't want to have to re-install my entire operating system, to find ALL my files have been wiped. What a waste of 5 points... I did a little research... And went to 'Turn Windows features On or Off'... Turns out Tablet PC optional components were unticked... Oops.

Whats your obsession? I cannot stand it, if my glasses/mobile phone/nintendo ds are smudged, or ir the tv/computer screen has smudge marks on it, it bugs the hell out out of me and I have to clean it first. I also cannot stand dirty money, coins or notes, if the loose change I have is dirty or sticky I try to spend it as soon as possible. I hate when my nephews come to visit, cos they leave sticky marks everywhere, yuckkk!!!

Vista/HP Question? My mom and I both have Vista on our HP computers. I have the widgets (or whatever windows calls 'em) on the side of my screen, and she dosen't, how do I get her some? Or tell me some good programs for sticky notes on your desktop. Also, how do I get rid of the Yahoo search at the bottom? I know its an HP thing, and its annoying because not only do I not search that way, I don't even use Yahoo and it takes up spaces for windows.

Soda + Macbook? My mother was doing her morning cleaning and she reached down to clean my macbook screen and promptly knocked my soda over onto my keyboard. It was only a small amount of soda, a tablespoon or two at most, and it only got onto fn, ctrl, alt, apple, shift, z, and x, and maybe a few other keys in that corner, and since she had a paper towel in her hand, it was immediately sopped up. I turned the keyboard on its side and let it dry for a while. All worked fine.It wasn't sticky, and still isn't. However, several hours later, the w, e, s, d, x, and c keys just quit working. So I shut it down and took a can of air to it. When I turned it back on, none of the keyboard was working. I popped several of the keys off and there isn't really any soda residue. Note: You can't just "replace the keyboard" as people have suggested in past questions. The keyboard is one piece with the bottom faceplate of the computer. Picture: http://images.apple.com/macbook/images/design_gal04_20080226.jpg You can't take it apart, either. It will void the warranty. And I have the apple care protection plan. Apple Care doesn't cover "accidental spills" (On a side funny note, you think they'd fix it if I said she did it on purpose, then? ;) )

1990 Celica GT Tranny Shifting Early / kickdown issue? My automatic transmission seems to be very conservative when shifting. It ends up, unless I manually tell it otherwise, in overdrive by the time I hit 30-35mph. Even when I floor it, it doesn't respond. The throttle has a sticky spot in it (due to the kickdown cable having a hard spot). It takes forever to get up to 65 mph, unless I take over and manually shift. If the ECU controls shifting, is there some way to set the computer to a higher performance mode? Or will I have to take it to a dealer? I looked at the kickdown cable to try to adjust it, but right now I don't see how I can tighten it. The cable itself only comes out a short distance, and right now limits the throttle itself (I can push the throttle way more open by hand with the kickdown cable off, but doesn't make a difference with the gas pedal). Also worth noting is that when I have the cruise control on and hit accelerate, it actually does kickdown to accelerate. Is this normal? What could be the problem be?

safe to download? http://www.sticky-notes.net/cgi-bin/download.pl?pid=3&pverid=22&pedid=0&pdid=5 ^ is that safe to download? because i know apple computers have it and windows don't. but i'm not sure if i should download it. can't afford any other virus

Mac Widget? Mac has a feature on their computers called Mac Wideget. Is there a similar feature for Windows? The one I am particularly interested in is the sticky note one. Thanks for your help.

Stuck Control Key? "EXCEL has detected that you are holding down the CTRL key" Wait, but I'm not! I noticed this problem awhile ago but could never really confirm it until now when EXCEL told me I was holding down the control key when I wasn't. This is on my laptop so buying a new keyboard won't be cheap. Note: the key is not physically held down, but my computer thinks it is. I've already checked sticky keys.

READ me plz! its easy plz! dont be chicken? okay lets see whos not afraid to read this. most of you guys are wimps though. afraid of a good story huh? lol plz read! Blood Feather I remember…wind licking at our faces, the Californian sun shining intensely. I was just 10 years old… it was on this day my happy life came to an abrupt halt. My dad, Peter, suggested that we should go to the beach, together. My mother and I were playing in the sand, as she built a sandcastle we would sit and watch the water eat it away. We glanced down the beach; the sun seemed to be painting a picture for our eyes to feast on. “Dolphin! Dolphin!” We gazed up to see my little brother Charlie splashing in the waves. My mother managed a frown and raised an eyebrow. My mother ran over gracefully, but quickly, and snatched him up out of the water. Looking disappointed Charlie glanced over at dad. “What’s the matter?” He said lowering his sun glasses. “I saw a dolphin!” “It wasn’t a dolphin, Peter,” mother said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Honey,” he said getting up from his seat “why don’t you let him dream a little?” Father’s hair swirled about him madly, looking like a chocolate colored tumble weed. He strided over to Charles and put him easily back in the water. Charlie continued his pursuit toward a hermit crab, going farther out. “There see?” father said. And upon saying this he gazed up at Charles, his eyes shining. Then he noticed a shadow, moving about menacingly a few feet from Charles. Instinctively father dove into the water, picked Charles up, and hurled him toward the shore. The shadow sped vigorously toward father. And in less than a second something had him. The aqua water was suddenly a dark crimson where father was standing. Swimming in a panicky fashion, he tried to head to shore. My mother could do nothing but sit at the waters edge and watch in despair. “Hurry!” She yelled angrily at him. Father was weak from swimming, “He’s got me now,” he said exhaustedly still panicking. “No please don’t leave me!” mother shouted. Her eyes were brimming over with tears and she stared at him intensely, lovingly. Father’s face grew hard and reddened; as he looked at her he inhaled and punched the shark’s nose with all his strength. The shark sped away, there were others, but for now the coast was clear. His eyes grew tired and he fainted, head slamming against the water as he fell. Mother ran to him and dragged him on shore. The sand was now crimson as well; some coral must have scraped his back on the way in. My brother and I stared at our bloody mess of a Father, too young to understand. Knowing what mother would want of me, I convinced my brother to go shell hunting with me. Mother threw a thanking glance in my direction. I nodded my head and went on. I stopped at a nearby pile of shells, letting my brother sift through them. He seemed worried but didn’t speak. I looked back and an ambulance was parked on the sand. They put father on the stretcher and zoomed away. Mother gently picked up his sunglasses and placed them on her head. She stroked Charles’s bleach blonde hair and picked him up. She cradled him and I watched in amazement as he drifted to sleep. She looked up at me, her soft golden hair resting on her shoulders. “Is father okay?” I asked in a low voice. “I – I don’t know.” She said in a whisper, trying to fight tears. Mother coolly walked to where our car was parked. A cute little yellow Pontiac, which reminded me of a big banana. She placed Charles in the backseat, looking at him thoughtfully. I stared out the window at palm trees flying past us. I stared blankly at the road and calmly asked where we were going. “Home for now.” “What about father?” “The paramedic team said that the hospital would call when he’s ready to come home.” “I don’t want to visit; it may be too much on Charles.” Mother focused her rear view mirror toward Charles. He sighed and was holding his arm in a strange position. “Mother,” I said pausing to turn toward her “I think his arm is hurt.” “No. He’s fine. He’s probably in the “sucking the thumb” position.” This was a good excuse since he was only four. Her cell phone started ringing franticly, it startled my brother. Mother slowly lifted it up to answer. “Hello?” she said shakily. “Oh really, already?” “Okay then we’ll be there shortly” she gulped after she answered the phone and said nothing about what they had told her. Rain started pouring down on us as we drove steadily to the hospital making the mood even more depressing. A tall coral shaped white building appeared from the haze as we moved closer. We parked the car near the front. As the engine died mother warned us not to stare and not to be scared she tried to smile encouragingly but it didn’t work that well. I opened the door and stuck my foot out I realized the parking lot was flooded with at least ten inches of water. My legs were short and the water swallowed my foot and touched the top of my shorts. Mother scooped Charles up and we proceeded to the front door. We had no umbrella, and so as we stepped inside the huge sliding doors people stared. I looked up at mother. The rain hadn’t affected her height but her hair was a brunet color and seemed to be covered with hairspray, not flowing about anymore. She didn’t look at the people who stared, but gracefully walked to the elevator. I struggled to keep up. Mother punched in some buttons and up we went my, stomach descending farther down. Then the elevator stopped with a jerk and we stepped out. My stomach was protesting but I moved forward. The halls were long and had many doors on either side. Some pictures that looked like they belonged in a beach hotel lined the walls. Mother stopped and knocked on one of the doors peering into a high window. A nurse opened the door and beckoned us in. Father lay there, eyes closed, unmoving. A white blanket covered him to his waist. He looked fine. The nurse was telling mother about his surgery and how well he was doing. Then tears started rolling down her tan face and we left. In the car mother gained some of her strength again and sniffing she said, “Father…may be a little different from now on,” she paused to stick the key in the ignition. From the back seat Charles squirmed and sat up. “What do you mean?” he asked with sleepy eyes. Mother sighed and preceded, “His leg. His leg is gone.” The car was silent, and we drove home. I must have fallen asleep, I felt mother take me in her arms moving gingerly and sit me down on the bed. My eyes opened and I saw her sitting with me. “Are you awake Grace?” she asked not looking at me. “Yeah,” I said not actually sure of what I had said. “Father won’t be home for a while.” “Where is he? Is he okay?” I asked anxiously. “Shhh!” She quietly tucked me in again. I woke to the sound of yelling. It was coming from mother and father’s room. “This is all your fault!” she rambled on. She must have been on the phone with dad. “Charles… he could’ve been killed!” she sighed heavily and plopped down on the bed. I was quite surprised Charles didn’t get up and poke his head out of his bedroom door. I got up and opened my door slowly, inch by inch. As it squealed in protest I squinted my eyes, hoping it wasn’t too loud. Once it was open I carefully walked down the hall. Our family pictures stared at me and my bare feet made sticky noises on our wooden floors as I passed them. A faint light coming from the door made a line going up the pale yellow wall. I peered through the crack of the door. Mother was sitting on the bed and some light was coming from the window. She was sobbing. I decided I would give her some time alone, so I went back to bed. * * * I woke up, what seemed like, seven years later. Those years rushed past me… only hazy nightmares I couldn’t see. I was now seventeen and had finally gotten a decent car to drive to school. It was a robin’s eggshell blue Volkswagen convertible. Dad moved to California and mom, Charles, and I moved to Chicago. I missed the sunny days of my past life, but in Chicago that couldn’t be helped. It was always cloudy there. Mom had driven us away immediately after the night at our house and into the clouds of Chicago Illinois. My new school was an old school, what was left of it anyways. It was just a big boring brick building. I doubted my looks would help me get any friends. I was tall, sort of, and blonde. My skin was tan, thanks to the sun, I was super skinny too. I looked like a living rail. My first day was horrid. People made fun of my arms, which were skinny too. I rolled my eyes at them when I heard them talking about me. My last class was band, people stared at me and when Coach Luke, the teacher, introduced me… it made things even worse. When I stood I almost fell, my knees collapsing under me. I luckily landed in my chair, sighing with relief when I landed. I didn’t pull my flute out and play, but instead read my book, Coach didn’t seem to notice… or mind. I got interested when coach left the room and the girls beside me began to talk. “Oh my gosh did you see how hot he was!” the brunet said beaming. “Whatever. You’re so obsessed with him, he’s new. Give him a break.” The strawberry blonde rolled her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. “Have you noticed what a cute couple they make?” the brunet ignored the other’s comment. I heard someone giggling at the back of the room. I laid my book on the ground and turned to see who it was. A muscular boy was hugging this girl. I stared at him; my heart skipped beats and fell to the bottom of nowhere. He was tall and pale, his lips reminded me of the crimson color of a rose. His skin along with his lips looked like the same texture of a flowers petal, soft, delicate, and fragile. The girl was a medium height and had dirty blonde hair that was very long. She too, was pale. He paused hugging her a minute to glance up, his eyes met mine, and he looked intently at me scanning me all over. He looked away, though, as soon as he got the chance. They looked at the door with a concerned expression and quickly but gracefully found their seats. Their movements blew my mind. I was sure if a deer was in the room it wouldn’t have noticed their movement. He was beaming straight ahead, at nothing in particular, and his perfect white smile seemed to bore a hole through me. I looked away so I wouldn’t go blind by his radiance. The brunet nudged me in the shoulder. “He’s looking at you.” She said through her teeth. I was petrified; sure his smile would bore through me this time. Coach walked through the door and looked down at his wrist watch. “Five, four, three two…” he counted down. The loud bell coming from a speaker on the wall startled me and I jumped. I could hear him laughing at me. I ignored it. “Bye! See you tomorrow!” Coach boomed across the room. Coach was buff, I was sure he must’ve been a football player. I turned around to look for him but he and the girl were gone, in fact, every one was gone. How long had I been just sitting there listening to his silk like husky laughter flow over me? I hopped up and headed to the parking lot. My mind went blank as I thought of him. I found myself sitting there staring out the windshield of my convertible. I put the key in the ignition and the purr of the diesel motor awakened me. The sky was cloudy and set numbers of grey shadows onto the front of our house. Our house was only a one story, which was convenient enough. It was Californian style with a terracotta roof and tan stucco textured paint. There were some small palm trees in the flower bed. It didn’t remind me of California, only because it was too cloudy. I parked my bug in our curved driveway and stepped out. Mom, who of course wasn’t home yet, was busied with the chore of picking Charles up from school. I walked inside, sat my keys on the table, and picked up a snack. I turned on the TV and nearly tripped over the coffee table when I saw the commercial, my snack went flying of course. It was an advertisement for pools, but that didn’t matter, it was the fact the guy who was modeling for it looked exactly like him. My heart skipped beats, but then I thought of that girl he was hugging. “If he already has a girlfriend why was he staring at me?” I thought aloud. “Oh well, who needs a stupid boyfriend anyway.” I was still obsessed with him, no matter how hard I tried to resist… I failed. There was just something about him. I heard some bumping noises and looked over to see mother and Charles walking in the door. I was sprawled out all over the floor, an obvious scene for an accident. She gathered the evidence I might be hurt and rushed over to help. “What happened?” she sounded shocked. “Ummm… I tripped.” I fibbed quickly, leaving out the part about the commercial, it sounded convincing enough. “Well honey, you are seventeen, I expected I could leave you at home alone.” her tone was expecting, disappointed. “No really I.” I was interrupted when Charles broke in. “You should be more careful. I’ve seen a drunk person with better balance.” He said mockingly. I ignored him and got some ice for my leg. I must have landed half on the coffee table half on the carpet. It was nearly ten when I caught myself, again, staring into space… on my bed this time. I clicked off my lamp and tried to sleep. I felt utterly stupid; I just couldn’t resist thinking about him. I tried to remind myself he had a girlfriend, but I couldn’t shake him off. On my way to school the next morning I didn’t seem to think about him much, not until a black car that reminded me of his Porsche Cayman passed by. I smacked my forehead and nearly ran off the road. The car behind me blew their horn. I did finally arrive at school, a little on the irritated side. I didn’t see his Porsche in the parking lot though, and so I hung my head and moped my way to my first class. School passed and he wasn’t there, I found myself thinking of and looking for him. “How did school go today?” Mom asked when I got home later than usual. “Okay.” My mouth said but my mind said not okay. I went to bed with an empty stomach shoving my brother aside as I went. I wasn’t hungry, for food at least, but I was hungry, for him. In the morning I found myself engulfing three pop tarts. On the way to school I veered off the road again, and as the other day, the car behind me honked. I was going crazy. I needed socialization… but with whom could I talk with. No one. I’d left all my friends behind in California. For the first few days, I only needed the memory of him. But today my socialization level was low, and my brain urged me to talk to someone, anyone. Say something. In my English class I exploded to the girl next to me. Mr.Birk shushed me and I, in answer, shushed him. Not a good idea. I was given a note to take to the principle, Mr.Birks pointed to the door and I proceeded, glaring at him as I shut the door. “Grace Whitman to the principal for defiance.” The note said in red ink that infuriated me. I ripped it up instantly and threw it into the large garbage can next to the wall. As I headed to the bathroom I scowled at the boy that watched me rip the note up. I grumbled as I opened the door of the bathroom and proceeded to the next stall. I flipped the lid down and sat, balled up, on the toilet. I contented my mind with reading the graffiti on the walls. The most common verse written on the wall was Philip is mine or I love Philip. The bell rang and I willingly left to go to band. “Stupid, ugly, bald, English teacher.” I thought of Mr.Birks face when I said this to myself. The look of defeat filled the wrinkles on his aged face. I smiled victoriously to this thought and headed to band. “Don’t forget to take your instruments home and practice for the auditions tomorrow.” Coach Luke said as the bell rang. I grabbed an audition paper and my flute as I headed for the door. When I got home I pulled out my flute, to distract my mind from him, and practiced. I wasn’t half bad, I wasn’t sure if I’d win the responsibility of the solo or not, not like I wanted it any way, but I was sure I wouldn’t get embarrassed either. When mom and Charles walked through the door I put my flute away automatically. Aware that Charles would want to play it and break it. He did rush over but I turned to put it away before he could speak. I did eat supper tonight, reminded of the horrible hunger that pained me this morning. We ate in silence and after dinner I went to bed. I couldn’t sleep. So I cut my computer on and closed my door. I was thinking of him again. I got on Google and typed in myspace. I got on the site and reviewed all the pictures until I failed in my search and fell asleep in my chair. When I woke in the morning my neck hurt. I ignored it and looked over at the clock. “Oh!” I realized I was late and rushed out the door. I ran back in seconds later to grab my flute and paper. I pushed the petal to the floor today; I didn’t even have time to veer off the road today, much less time to think of him. I rushed to math, my first class, and as I set foot in the door the bell rang. I hopped into my seat and shortly after a large stately figure appeared before me. It stretched out its hand to tap on my desk and I looked up, gulping. Mrs. Heather, the slim blond sweet faced teacher, waited in front of me. She slipped a tardy pass to me. I dropped my head as I felt the other student’s eyes watching me, and slunk to the office. When I felt that Mrs. Heather had looked away I walked instinctively to the bathroom, again. She wouldn’t know. The other pupils wouldn’t either. Why should I care? Well, whatever. All other classes zoomed past leaving band as the last memorable survivor. I thought of him again, staring off into space. “Next... Ahem…next! Mrs. Whitman?” coach Luke boomed. I looked up sleepily. I stepped forward to play. I wasn’t scared, only because I didn’t know these students. As I sat in the isolated awaiting seat I looked around the room, and then I froze. He stood out from them all. I stopped breathing as his eyes investigating me. I started noticing my hands turning from red to blue. I breathed again when I heard his girlfriend laugh, assuring me time hadn’t stopped. I was trembling. Coach made a signal with his hands, pushing me on. I played. My breath was shuddering like a leaf about to fall. When I finished all the students were staring at me unbelievingly. “You…Congratulations Grace. I believe you earned the solo.” Coach said in a whisper. Everyone’s eyes widened and then, they all smiled and applauded. I blushed faintly pink and then a dark red when he stood. Time stopped again. But then time continued. As he, like the others, applauded. I inhaled, grateful for a break, then ran to put my flute away when the bell rang. When I turned around I nearly screamed. There he stood, towering over me. He put his hand over my mouth, and again I inhaled sighing afterwards. What felt like an hour later he put his hand away, stepping back. “You…You were incredible.” He said with widened hazelnut colored eyes. “Oh…” I couldn’t continue for a moment, paralyzed by his eyes and face, “Really I didn’t mean too be good. I was actually scared.” I said modestly. “Scared? Of what?” he asked, his breath giving me chills. “Oh nothing really.” I said tearing myself from his thoughtful gaze. “Hmmm. Okay.” He said frowning, shattering the perfection of his face. He turned and winked, beaming at me on his way out. I just stood there, on the verge of fainting. I should’ve chased him. But I was too weak. “That was great, Grace.” Coach said, walking over to pat my shoulder. I walked cheerfully to my car. “I made a friend today, a nameless friend.” I thought shakily on the way home. I couldn’t stop smiling, and mom and Charles noticed. “School good today huh?” Mom asked at dinner, smiling. “Uh…yeah I made my first friend.” I said, fumbling on the word friend. “Good.” She said. Charles rolled his eyes. I rolled mine back and hauled off to bed. I fell asleep and woke up smiling. “Stupid boy.” I thought, laughing at my remark. I went to the bathroom staring at myself in the mirror. I didn’t usually put on make up. I had natural beauty mom called it. I hated popular people. They just had to put it on. What ever. When I arrived at school he was in all my classes. Why didn’t I see him yesterday? I shrugged off the thought and went to my next class, Science. The tall, black wiry haired teacher, Mr. James nearly put me to sleep with his lectures. He was staring from the lab table across from mine at me. No one sat next to me on the vacant stool. I imagined him sitting next to me and felt better, completed. I was just too timid to ask him his name. Time flew by when I wasn’t looking at him anyway. On my way home I smiled as I thought of him again. Then frowned to know he was my only friend and I didn’t know his name. When I got home I watched TV sitting impatiently as I waited for that commercial to come on. It never did. Mom didn’t come home the usual time tonight. She was occupied with a meeting that she took Charles to. I laughed to think of how bored Charles would get. Torturing my brother was hilarious, especially if I wasn’t doing it. An hour later when the commercial still hadn’t come on, I wrote a note and put it on the counter. Grabbing a piece of pizza from the fridge on the way. “Dear mom,” the note read, “Gone bike riding. Be home soon, love Grace.” I marched out the door grabbing my keys of the table. I pulled my bike out from under the shed and rode down our street a ways. I took a small dirt path that led to nowhere and thought of him on my way. I pedaled on and on not sure where I turned or went, just kept going and going. I wasn’t sure how far I’d gone when I reached a small stream. I looked at it for a minute, then turned and went home. Mother looked worried and confused when I walked in. But I just marched to my room and went to bed.
