  1. I used to work there as a PT second job. Very cool place, got to drive every type of BMW, Motorcycle and Mini. I worked in Customer Relations. Basically people and call in to bitch about the dealership not kissing their ass, and the occasional "what kind of oil should I use in my XXX".
  2. IT is a very largely overused term. You need to be specific about what you want to learn about. Programming (this has about 50 different arenas), Network Infrastructure (a dozen or so possibilites), Client/Desktop support, it just goes on and on. You need to specify what you want to learn about.
  3. As we all know, the construction will come from out of state, the workers will come from out of state, and we will all become bankrupt and commit suicide.
  4. Nice, very nice. They give you the tools to enable your success.
  5. Can you scan some pages for me, or give me the book so I can scan them?
  6. I remember when I was a kid, going to that M&Es and having my birthday there. They would bring out a cake with sparklers on it, people would call and wish me a happy birthday. I think their downfall was making the Garbage Burger a set of toppings rather than cook's choice. Can
  7. Excellent. Now I gotta go get my DD214 outta storage.
  8. I love the Nachos, buffalo chicken sammich, their burgers are good as well. Sad case of poor management.
  9. No no, you are supposed to ask Feathers or Dots. In reality the Native American being called an Indian is incorrect.
  10. The storm has poisoned my feelings for Verizon. They don't admit it sucks, but they know it. I want an iPhone, just don't want ATT.
  11. When you turn the computer off and back on, does it turn the monitor on? Do you see the POST happening? If not, the cable might be bad but most likely your monitor is dead.

    credit cards?

    Of course she suggested an 11% unsecured micro loan, she is going to make money off that. doesn't really help your revolving credit problem.... pay it off as soon as you can.

    credit cards?

    Revolving credit is good for building credit. If you don't have a card you should have one, just keep it under control. Keep a low limit, only use it in emergencies. I have a $5000 limit card sitting in a drawer at home, if someone dies and I need plane tickets or need to buy a furnace ... you get the point. I pay all my balances off each month, I use my home equity line, that way I can write off the interest. I keep my HE Line down to zero when possible.
  14. I read about a guy that had a flight cancelled by Delta for weather. He booked the same flight on Jet Blue and flew home. He then sued Delta for the cost of the Jet Blue ticket and Delta didn't show up. He won the case and Delta was mad because it made it into the public record, I guess you should always go.

  18. so, if it is that big of a deal....... where is the vaccine? I don't see that I can get it yet, must not be that big of a deal.
  19. What are you using as the sync server? time.nist.gov?
  20. You have a mac, get a VM of XP.
  21. One cause can be floors that flex a bit too much, makes the bulbs unscrew and they aren't actually blown. Watch for eco bulbs because they are meant to be with the coil UP. If you put them the other way the heat from the electronics in the base cannot dissipate and they blow.
  22. I am an ODU LEAD graduate. I wouldn't say inexpensive and LEAD in the same paragraph. You get out of education, what you put into it. If you are a slacker, you will not get much out of it. If you knuckle down, ask questions, and basically have a good work ethic, you will go far. I don't think the institution is at fault for you being a slacker, ever. Devry teaches in a more tech-school format and aim for a certain type of student. (intelligent underachievers) ITT is similar. OSU wants your tuition and as many of you as it can get. either way, an education is important, just as important has a good work ethic.
  23. Just suspend the card, don't use it anymore, and you can keep the old rate on the balance you have. Then get rid of them.
  24. Learn how to make her squirt.
  25. I have exactly the one in the photo. It will run for about 2 days and then stop.
