    need j.o.b.!!

    I think she doesn't like nursing, 'cause you're right.....Other than truck drivers....That's all I see in the paper. As a fellow job seeker Danielle??...Sorry to hear about your situation......This economy sux! Think I heard on the news last week that unemployment has hit a 20 year high I know I also heard Hancock county jumped from 5th lowest to 12th this last time around
  2. GRANTED.....But you lost your job to China & Mexico, so you still can't afford it! I wish for a tall ship, and a star to sail her by! Anyone??...Buehler?!?

    Magi Nice play Mikey!!
  4. Abused by his voice....Orrrrr it got stuck somewhere it shouldn't have been?!? Were you guys showing him the prostate exam he has to look forward to in another 10+ birthdays!?!
  5. Did you guys buy the extended warranty Ben? I just remembered after typing that first post, that I actually did. Thank God.....'cause I never buy those things, but since this game was so expensive, I actually did this time. Good thing, since Harmonix is obviously done standing by their product
  6. We got the kids RockBand this past Christmas. Got it a couple weeks after it first came out. Drums went bad within 2 months. 360 won't recognize the drums when they're plugged in, and there's no power to them. Wife got online to research problem, called Harmonix.....They shipped us a box to send drums back in. We had new drum kit within couple weeks at no expense to us. At the time, I thought "WOW....Great product support!" Glad to see they're taking care of customers who bought the first ones that may have some bugs to work out Drums are doing the same thing again now.....3-4 months later.....but this time they won't fix them. They say our choices are to pay them for repair, buy new pair, or shop around & see if we can find used pair cheaper. NICE tech support/Customer service. The fact that they are now just selling the drum kits by themselves in stores tells you they know there's a problem with that particular piece of equipment. I guess they just decided to try & make more money off their crappy product, rather than standing by it & making it right as it should've been to begin with! When I took them in to ship that first time, the UPS guy asked me as soon as I walked through the door with my sealed box "What'cha got there......RockBand drums???" I asked him how he knew that, and he said they'd been getting a LOT of them in lately, so he knew the box well. Same thing when we got them back a couple weeks later. I happened to be home when the FedEx guy delivered. As I was signing for them, same conversation "What'cha got......RockBand drums???" He'd been delivering quite a few of them as well, and knew the box, just like UPS. So if the product is that defective that the shipping guys know what's in unmarked boxes........I'd say there's a definite problem that needs to be addressed. Just because we were the guinea pigs and bought one of the first systems to hit the shelves doesn't mean I feel like putting up with their buggy product & poor support!! Anyone else having similar problems/issues???
  7. Happy B-day Loouuu...cifer!! 27 .........You're barely growed up!!
  8. WOW What's their turn around time? We've had the 3 lights of death once in the last year & half......'Course I just jinxed us by saying that!! Turnaround was quite impressive. I have no complaints with MS on that. Checked our unit last night for that yellow sticker on the back by the UPC code, since ours is only 18 months old, but didn't see it. My gripe now is with Harmonix. We got the kids RockBand this past Christmas. Drums went bad within 2 months.

Think I'll break this out to it's own thread, so as not to hijack any further
  9. Any of the silver ones with the .net still? Black with .net too?
  10. I've always heard it was because the porn industry went with VHS, that that format won.....Seriously I'll still believe it when I see it. Sony botched coming out with the PS3 on time, with several delays, and gave up a HUGE headstart to 360. Seems to me it's gonna be awhile before they can gain that marketshare back
  11. Amen to that!! To bad the weather's still lookin' spotty!

    amice Nice plays guys!! Had to look 'em up to make sure they were legit Alice
  13. Laser disc vs VCR was a different type of war..different formats media all together. Understood......But Beta vs. VHS was the same format media......Both tapes
  14. I guess I'll hold off buying into the whole Blu-Ray thing 'til it proves it's longevity. Most of you guys are probably too young to remember the laser disks & Beta Max of the 80's, or those ginormous old satellite dishes This aint my first rodeo, and Blu-Ray's still too new for me to believe/buy into it being "the One"

    Ummmmm........Trader????
  16. Some pix from that email I was referring to. Something we Americans should ponder as we pump gas in our inefficient vehicles & cruise on down the highways. This is what our $$$'s are helping to finance............... Dubai 1990 Same Dubai street......2003 Says last year, but not sure how old the email is............... The Dubai Waterfront. When completed it will become the largest waterfront development in the world . The Palm Islands in Dubai . New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all.
  17. Many AMAZING photos......But this is one of my faves.....Almost looks like a roller coaster to me Qatar is one ritzy track! Isn't it funny how RICH those middleeasterns are?! Just all those lights are insanely expensive! Fuel anyone? Nick how much do you think it would cost to build that track?? Anyone else gotten that email about all the construction goin' on over in Dubai, and what it's proposed to look like in just a few short years??? Dubai is said to currently have 15-25% of all the world's cranes. Nice of them to take pix of where all our oil $$$ are going!
  18. Idddiioooottt!!!!! BEST cartoon EVER!!!!
  19. Schmuckingham.......Call me psychic, but I'm thinking it'd be VERY easy for you to convince her of a 3'some!!
  20. Ohhhhh.......To be 24 again!!! Congrats on the degree too....Good on 'ya! Was gonna see if some of the guys wanted to crash your party today, since you'd invited us back on the ride, but with the weather the way it's lookin'.......Not soooo good. Hope you don't get rained out! Sidenote.......Did my smilies show up this time???

  23. I thought Lucifer didn't have a boss anymore......Isn't that the whole reason he got pissed at God & stormed outta heaven to start up his own crib?!?
