    I need some Win 7 photoeditor freeware

    Any recommendations? I need a good, solid photo editor without a bunch of super advanced features. I downloaded and tested 5 different programs tonight and they were either too basic or had weird interfaces coupled with no help files. I'm nowadays running Windows 7 Pro on my new-to-me...

    Craigslist phone authentication

    HUH? I posted an ad this morning in one section on craigslist and it went through normally. Tried posting another ad in a different section for a different item and was requested to provide my phone number for verification before the ad would post. Obviously, I didn't proceed. I cleared all...

    Let's talk about freezers

    I'm in the market for one and will be buying a home freezer in the not too distant future. My prior chest freezer I bought for $40 from an online buddy and it worked just fine, but at 5 cubic feet it was small. And, it was an old design and eating electricity at the rate of $30 - $35 a month...

    Repainted my utility trailer

    My young neighbor needed a little extra cash, so I had him repaint my 5'x10' utility trailer. I tried to colormatch the paint to my car, but only got close. It does look good though, so I'm very pleased. He even painted the trailer rims to match my car wheels too. The paint is Glidden...

    Photobucket problem

    Photobucket isn't displaying all of my images. I noticed it last week, but thought it was just a fluke or an upgrade or something going on back at their end. However, the LINKS to the photos work! Now it's just getting to be aggravating. I have several hundred images uploaded and organized...

    Score!

    I needed a starter for my 25hp Mercury outboard. Contacted the local dealer and was told $176 for a new one, plus tax. Ouch. Mentioned it to my neighbor buddy a couple days ago, who replied that he might be able to hook me up with a better deal. Today he tells me that his friend has just...
