I need to migrate my bookmarks from an old machine running Windows XP over to my new computer running Windows 7. I'm looking for some guidance on how to handle this transfer without having to do it all manually.
Alright, I’m heading out to pick up a new laptop in just a few minutes, and the specs say it comes with Windows 7 pre-installed.
A friend mentioned that having the OS alone isn't really enough to get things running properly; apparently, I'll need to sort out some drivers as well.
Is that actually the case? And should I expect those to be included on a CD or a DVD?
Kate Brooks2 said:Hi everyone! Here is an update from our side. After completing the third cycle, we went in for blood work, urine tests, and a CT scan. The blood and urine results were excellent—honestly, the doctors remarked that it’s rare to see someone even in perfect health with such clean numbers. The only outlier was an elevated sedimentation rate. They mentioned that this is perfectly normal under the circumstances, though I’m not entirely sure why, so if anyone could explain that to me, I’d appreciate it. As for the CT scan, we are absolutely thrilled. The tumor has shrunk from 133x123x127mm down to 97x97x110mm. The doctors are very pleased with the progress, and we are, naturally, even happier. During the consultation, they simply noted that the tumor has significantly decreased in size and advised us to push forward with the current treatment plan. For now, they are recommending three more rounds, specifically using KT Ifosfamide. So... the next cycle starts tomorrow. What are your thoughts on this? I’d especially love to hear from those of you who have experience in this area. Best regards.
Keep up this momentum. You've won a battle, but it's far too early to celebrate the end of the war. 🙂
Look, let’s just leave the healthcare system to deal with people who are actually critically ill. They have limited resources, so they should be using them more effectively instead of wasting them on this. If you’re worried about your mental state, maybe try cutting back on the chips, the Bueno bars, and all that McDonald's junk. Spend less time glued to a computer screen and get outside for a walk more often; you won't need psychological counseling if you just fix your lifestyle.
It’s all mental. Stop overeating and you'll be fine.

I have a question for anyone who has gone through this kind of diagnostic search.
To give you some context, my son’s doctors at our local hospital couldn't pinpoint the exact location or type of tumor. After a week of fruitless tests and biopsies, they transferred him to the Mayo Clinic in New York City. I honestly thought things would move faster there, but it's been about ten days now and we have absolutely nothing new to show for it. It’s just a constant cycle of waiting for one result, then waiting for another... "It won't be ready today, maybe tomorrow," and so on.😢
My patience is wearing thin. My son is understandably frustrated by the delays, and I’m terrified that we’re losing precious time before therapy can even begin. Like a drowning man reaching for a straw, I have to ask:
Has anyone here—or perhaps someone close to you—had experience with the diagnostic process or used this specific equipment:
I'm looking at importing some motorcycle parts—mostly plastics—nothing critical like brakes or anything. I’d probably start with about $3,000 worth of inventory. After I factor in shipping and then hit customs with a 5% duty plus 23% sales tax, we'll see where that lands.
The thing is, I have zero clue what shipping will actually cost given the container situation. We're talking maybe 10 boxes, roughly 0.3 m3, so I’d likely need about 3 to 4 m3 of space.
Has anyone here dealt with those companies that hunt down partial shipments just to cram containers full?
You should look for a reputable freight forwarder, someone like FedEx or a major logistics firm; they'll be able to give you the real numbers. 👍
It’s pretty obvious the freight forwarder is going to take a cut$33 for their services. I don't have the exact figure on hand, as I suspect it fluctuates based on the total value of the cargo. ☕
Jose Reed2 said:So, just to make sure I'm following the math correctly... if I import goods worth $6.75, and I'll be hit with $933 in customs duties plus sales tax totaling $1.50, does that mean my total out-of-pocket cost ends up being $2.50?
Thanks for clearing that up! I actually have one more question for you
I was wondering if that 14% rate is a flat tariff applied to any country I source textiles from, or is that specific to imports coming from China... or perhaps Thailand?
thanks🙂
Actually, you've got the math slightly off. You apply the customs duty to the value of the goods first, and then you calculate the sales tax based on that combined total.☕
The final amount will be a bit higher... somewhere north of $8,000.
You aren't required to pay the Chamber of Commerce fee for your first year of business, but you actually have to file a formal request for an exemption. The new tax updates haven't quite caught up to that specific rule yet. ☕
