sumitvella Could be a number of things, but it most likely is something heat related. I have had this a couple of times and each time it was a blown capacitor on the motherboard.

angiemac4444 @angemac23 (2003) • Canada 4 Oct 07

I am wondering what everyone thinks about drinking and driving. I am also interested in knowing how you all think offenders should be treated. I beleive that if you get in a car with booze in your system and you get caught, you...

sumitvella I think what is more important than the punishment is the fact that these people need to realise what they are doing. My message is Don't drink if you have drive or Don't drive if you have to drink.

What's the worst insult you've ever heard?

Ambur25 @Ambur25 (1006) • United States 18 May 07

We've all been insulted at some point or another. What's the worst thing someone's ever said to you? The one thing that you can't get rid of, no matter how hard you try. The echo in your head every time you try to do something...

sumitvella What other people have to say does not matter to me one bit. It goes in from one year and out of the other. What echoes in my head is when I am really stupid and say something that makes a fool out of me. I can never get that out of my head, even years...

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 20 Mar 07

sumitvella the lentils on there own do go bad too. I would suggest that you not try to keep it longer than 4-5 days. When lentils start going bad, they smell slightly wierd so you should be able to tell from smelling it.

Diet pills

HeatherS @HeatherS (951) • United States 19 Mar 07

Have you ever used any diet pills and what have your experiences been with them? I admit I've tried some in the past but they always made my blood pressure go real high or I felt like I was having a caffeine overdose.

5 responses

sumitvella the caffeine overdose makes sense, because most diet pills do have caffeine in them. They use caffeine because it has the effect of increasing your metabolic rate.

sumitvella Can't think of anyone that I would want to speak to that I can't speak to already. Can I just save the wish for later and hope that I never have to use it, because I should tell the important people in my life that I love them before it's too late.
