JackOLantern I've got quite a long list actually, and most of them have stories attached to em. J or Jay: because for some reason people constantly call me every name that starts with a J other than my actual name (Justin), so I just started introducing myself as Jay...

I'm not allowed to have my family or friends over any more.

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 18 Jan 09

Not if they intend to help me around the house. That's a new 'law' my husband just laid down. He said it's his job to help me around here. The problem is, he doesn't help me around here... at least, not as much help as I need, not...

JackOLantern Wow, no husband should treat his wife that way in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with your sons visiting you once a week, and since I moved out of my mom's house a couple months ago I call her every weekend to see how she's doing and let her know how I'm...

Today Is Blue Monday But I Am Feeling Happy - What About You Guys?

ellie333 @ellie333 (21016) 19 Jan 09

JackOLantern I didn't know today was Blue Monday. However, after having a fitful night of nightmares and a long busy day at work only to get really bad news when I got home, today isn't the best of days for me. Glad your day is going well though :)

Replacing a hard drive on a laptop

radairc @radairc (98) • United States 16 Jan 09

I want to replace the hard drive on my laptop. If I do this, will my system restore disc that came with the computer work to load the operating system onto the hard drive? Does anyone have any tips or pointers on this process for...

disc

hard drive

JackOLantern Actually, I believe it will...I've had more than a few hard drives on this computer, and more than one I formatted with the restore disc. Granted, depending on the make of the hard drive and what not, you MIGHT have an issue. But I don't think so.

JackOLantern The only thing I can see as being stated wrong in this post is the conscious choice making in lying. With most people, yes, it IS a conscious choice. However, as a child I began to lie compulsively, even about good deeds, so as to be spared the spoon, paddle,...

JackOLantern At first I thought this guy was more of a father to the children than whomever the actual father was. Until the bit about asking for the money back. The ONLY way I'd agree with asking for the money back was IF the mother wasn't using the money for the needs of...

JackOLantern I took my son to his Wiccaning, but that's it. I was baptized, though I'm what people might consider a heathen now. One of the things my son's mother and I have always agreed upon is that he will be free to chose his own way/religion and so long as it...

Would you be selfish if you had powers?

GemmaR @GemmaR (8517) 15 Jan 09

In the film Bruce Almighty, we can see how Bruce uses his powers first of all to help himself. If you had similar powers, would you be as selfish, or would you try to help people? What would your priority be?

JackOLantern In all honesty I'd get my major life issues settled first, then I'd gladly move on to help others. Unless of course someone's problems were worse than my own. Ya know, this is a hard one to call actually. I supposed it be a per-situation kinda thing whether...

JackOLantern I smoke cigars on occasion, especially when I can afford a single cigar compared to a pack of cigarettes. For one, I prefer the smell to that of my cigarettes. And for two, depending on which flavor I happen to get, they taste a whole let better. I tend to...

JackOLantern It doesn't bother me. I respond to pretty much any name that starts with a J, and have even started introducing myself as Jay. My name is Justin, but I'm frequently called Jason or Josh. Some other common J-names I get called would be Jack, Jacob, and...

JackOLantern I assume it was because it was two women kissing that you had a problem with. If it had been an elderly gentleman and his elderly wife, you probably would've thought "Awwww, that's so sweet.". Based on the content of responses it seems that any kind of pda is...
