    Might happen, time will tell. Thank goodness we (the US) didn't get entangled in Libya the way we did in Iraq.

    My hair.... lol should I fix it?

    35 years ago, we would have called that teasing your hair. People liked big hair. I would say, you feel confident with it ratted, so clearly it doesn't bother you that a few people think it looks funny. Actually, I think few people really spend their thoughts on whether someone looks funny...

    Money is borrowed at a 16% interest.after one year, $1265.56 pays off the loan....

    I'll do it with 12% interest, then you do it with the real number. If the amount originally borrowed was $1000, then the interest due after 1 year would be $1000*12% = $120. So the total amount to pay off the loan would be $1120. We could also have gotten this by multiplying Loan x 1.12 =...

    what tv channels can you pick up with a sattelite reciever box?

    If you buy a free-to-air receiver, you can get hundreds of channels. A receiver like DirecTV or Dish will not work unless the company activates it. But if you're mainly interested in the local stations, then no dish is needed - just use a digital TV, and you can pick up a lot just over the air.

    What would be an excellent side dish idea to have with chicken flavored ramen...

    Ramen is salty, so for variety, how about something sweet, like apples and cheese, or if you get them, mandarin oranges. You could add a few strips of boiled ham to the Ramen if you like. Even some very thinly sliced onion if you have it.

    I am 30 years old i have made a few bucks and deciding on a car?

    If you have a girlfriend or significant other, you should ask them. Get the opinion that matters most. Or, if you're not with anyone right now, find a friend who is most like the type you would want to date, and get their opinion.

    Are car roll cage illegal in california? ?

    A roll bar wouldn't be illegal. If a roll cage obstructs your rear view in some way, it might be illegal, in the same way that something that blocks your back or side windows permanently would be illegal.

    I upgraded to ATT High Speed, now my browser and downloads are slow?
