Do a complete Virus scan with your anti virus software. Most likely it's just a virus. I'd also recommend running MalewareBytes. It's a really good program to help clean your computer.

Normally the tasks credit for me but I find it very annoying that they seem to take so long. If I could do a minute task or something, that would be nice, but I don't want to take a good 20 minutes to get a few cents.

I learned by placing cones around so I would know how to do it for my test and so if I hit something, it wasn't a big deal. I made the space smaller than I should've, but I was able to park within it so parking in an area bigger was no problem.
Well, first, do you want to do it in one fluid motion, or do you mind stopping every so often. The second method is good for learning and eventually you will get the fluid motion.
First, pull up next to the car. I would have my mirror be in line where their steering wheel, it may be different for your car though.
Put the car in reverse and back up about two feet or so. Stop. Look back and see if your back, right wheel is next too / slightly behind their rear tire. You will be more or less pivoting on the back right wheel, so being too far forward can result in hitting their car.
Turn the wheel to the right as far as it will go. Then back up into the spot. Stop when your car is about halfway into the spot or at about a 40-45 degrees with the curb. If you hit the curb with your back wheel, you've backed up too far. Just shift into drive and pull forward a few feet and then shift back into reverse. You will be pivoting on the back, left wheel, so if it is not in line with the wheel of the car behind you or it looks far out of the spot, you will be far out of the spot. Or, if the wheel is really close to the curb, you will hit the curb. Adjust accordingly before continuing. If you will be far out of the spot, you can adjust by turning the wheel completely to the left and then turning back towards the right a bit, though it may be easier just to back up a few inches.
Slowly back into the spot. Your front wheels will swing into the spot as the car goes back a little bit. If you worry that you are going to hit something, park, get out and check. The more you turn to the right, the more your car will roll back instead of swinging the front. If the front of your car is in the spot, stop and straighten out the wheel. Stay at least this far back in the spot so you can pull out of the spot easily. If you pull too far forward, a car parking behind your might block you in.
For a more fluid move, you do all this without stopping in between and turn the wheel while backing up slowly. When doing it fluidly, consider that you will continue to roll back as you turn, so you can turn a second or two sooner than you would the other way. Also, when you turn back to the left, you may hit the curb doing it fluidly unless you turn the wheel kinda fast because your car will continue backing up as you turn, so keep that in mind and either slowly down more or turn the wheel faster.
Going slowly is the best advice I can give you. If you can tell me which part you are having the most trouble with, I can try to give a better idea of what might help you.

Our family gets invited to a little party nearby and it seems like every time my we go there, my mom makes fruit salad and no one seems to eat it. I've told her that maybe we should bring something else if no one wants it, but I can't really come up with anything else to bring. Any ideas of things you all might bring to a small community party.

My family does the Kroger thing as well and I think my dad uses it to fill up his tank which works out since he drives way more than anyone else in our household. Never heard of Sam's club doing gas but anytime I can save money on gas I'm all for it. I downloaded the gas app for my smartphone so I didn't have to drive around to figure out what was the cheapest price.

It finally just appeared up here so I will probably go sometime this week to go see it since there aren't any other good movies out right now. I haven't been to a movie in a while though so I'm looking forward to getting to relax.

Beside the daily email and PTC, make sure to post here at least once or twice a day to get your $3 bonus a month. Also, check out the video and RadioLoyalty offers as well for a few extra cents. I listen to RadioLoyalty as I do all my online earning things and tend to earn between 5 and 15 cents extra a day depending on how good I am at remembering to fill in the captcha. Also, if you do a lot of searches daily, consider downloading the toolbar and doing a few of them on there so you get a few extra cents daily.

The biggest thing I ever one was $500 a few years back, though I haven't won anything since then. Mostly I don't enter things like that unless it's for a good cause or something like that cause I know how long it took me to earn all that and I don't want to lose it on chance.

If you want a simple drag and drop type of site, you should check out webs.com cause their site building is very simple. You may have to look through all their pages to find what you want, but you should be able to accomplish most of what you want. Before you do that though, I would recommend getting a piece of paper and drawing out what you want, like boxes and text and such. The article below can give you an idea of what I mean. It's very helpful to draw things out on paper cause then you can set up what you want and play with different ideas without needing to redo the entire site each time you have a new idea. http://tympanus.net/codrops/2013/01/29/planning-your-web-design-with-sketches/

I don't know the entire story, just what I heard here, but I think it would depend on what happened before that and something else. If he had been doing things like that during the trial (or whatever it was) and was told to stop and did it again afterward, then I understand. However, if he just did that, it's one of the iffy areas where I don't think it really deserves jail time, but obviously he isn't respecting the courtroom, the judge, or the lawyers who are trying to do a job.
If he started messing around on the football field by pushing people or laying on the ground or whatever, no one would put up with it, so I think that's what the judge was doing.
