Can anyone diagnose this problem?

firemom31 @firemom31 (598) • United States 14 May 11

A friend of mine has a Delstar netbook and her kid plugged the wrong charger into it (with higher voltage). It just shut down and now does nothing. I know this is bad, but do you think it's fixable?

Selling gift cards on eBay

firemom31 @firemom31 (598) • United States 22 Apr 11

I am very curious as to why people would pay more than the face value of a gift card on eBay. For example, a $50 Borders gift card sold for $53. What is the point of this? I have thought about it over and over and can think of no...

Would you donate an organ?

firemom31 @firemom31 (598) • United States 25 Jan 10

I am very curious about why people would not want to donate their organs upon death. I just don't get it. We don't need our organs anymore once we die, so why not help someone else? I am not critical of those who are opposed to...
