I am surprised when I hear of people being taken in scams where someone calls you or emails you asking for your SSN or Checking acct. # etc.....and they give it to them. Simple rule of thumb: If you didn't initiate the call/email, don't tell them any personal information. Recently we've seen people bilked out of MILLIONS with these Ponzi schemes. Kevin Bacon lost EVERYTHING and now is looking for work along with 8% of the population. Another lesson there; diversify investments and as they say 'don't put all your eggs in one basket'. And always remember: There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I'm with the government and I'm here to help............

I'd go to a different shop, and file suit against the first guy in small claims court. No way I'm paying you 1 red cent if you didn't fix the problem. I hope you're documenting everything because you'll need it should you take him to court.

I've put together several and tuned up a lot of my friends machines, several of which were Dells. They make those machines with mini motherboards (mainboards) that have very little in the way of expansion capabilities. You can't buy the bottom line one and add to it. However, since you're replacing one that was purchased in 1997, then I'll assume you have NO plans to add to this machine in the next year or two. If so, then buy a Dell and get the most you can afford. Focus on getting alot of system memory (RAM) at least 4 GB, get XP installed (DEMAND this unless you've used Vista and actually like it ), a pretty good video card (512 MB) dual core or quad core processor and about 500 GB Hard Drive. Also, get the biggest monitor (LCD) that you can afford. You want a fast response time for the monitor as well; like 2 milliseconds.

I agree that dropping T.O. was a good move for Dallas but he wasn't the only reason Dallas PHALED last year; Romo bears some of that blame. He is WAY overrated and pretty lazy if the rumors are correct. He doesn't put in the time required to make himself better because he's already been handed the keys to the bank. I've seen Romo cry on the field in failure which is twice too many times. He's not a leader.

Is it's first name Joe? And if so, I'd personally choose a bigger actor to name mine after. Maybe Fred Gwynn or someone like that.

I spoke with the management company that runs our HOA after they ran the last survey of our subdivision lake and they said harvest away on the small to medium size ones. In fact, after I told him that I wouldn't eat fish out of the lake that may have people's septic fields draining into it, he said 'then just dispose of them.' So for my lake, it's more advantageous if the fry gets eaten a little more.

I've tried it once but didn't care for it. I find when I use it while cutting grass, it makes the time go by quicker which while fishing, the time goes by too fast as it is. Also, I don't want to miss the sound of some lunker boiling on something. The bass in my avatar was caught because I heard her chasing bait.

I agree with Raul; you're not going to learn much from watching the fish. I'd not only use it to verify structure but also to build some cover and/or move some stuff that's already down there.

X2. Same with Crocodiles and Alligators. Recently, chimps got add to that list.

I use Old Spice Deodorant or Speed Stick Deodorant. I stopped using Anti-persperant years ago because I don't think they're healthy. You're supposed to sweat if you're hot and trying to prevent just don't seem too wise. I also add some JJ's Magic. That garlic seems to atract all the European ladies though who could use some deodorant tips.

;D That or wrap the fish in foil and Jiffy Pop em.

Gold. Bout all I got.

Ghostbusters: Man at Elevator: What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut? Dr. Peter Venkman: No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelve. Man at Elevator: That's gotta be some cockroach. Dr. Peter Venkman: Bite your head off, man. Dr Ray Stantz: [Entering elevator] Going up? Man at Elevator: I'll take the next one. Dr Ray Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by (knickname for Richard)less here. Walter Peck: They caused an explosion! Mayor: Is this true? Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true. [pause] Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no (knickname for Richard). Walter Peck: Jeez! [Charges at Venkman]

LMAO..........nice find. Man, ANYONE these days can have 15 minutes of internet fame for the absolutely silliest stuff. AWESOME.

Great exchanges in Young Frankenstein. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaPZZJVDx6Y Meeting Igor Igor: Dr. Frankenstein... Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Fronkensteen." Igor: You're putting me on. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen." Igor: Do you also say "Froaderick"? Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No... Frederick." Igor: Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"? Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronkensteen." Igor: I see. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You must be Igor. [He pronounces it ee-gor] Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor." Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor." Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they? Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged. Inga: His veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Exactly. Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That goes without saying. Inga: Voof. Igor: He's going to be very popular. Office Space: Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton. Samir: You know there's nothing wrong with that name. Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent butt clown became famous and started winning Grammys. Samir: Hmm... well why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael? Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks. Sin City: Marv: I'll stare the bastige in the face as he screams to God, and I'll laugh harder when he whimpers like a baby. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him.

A lot of good ones that I agree with and that I have added to my list, as if I needed more. People driving in the 'Passing Lane' that AREN'T passing. It's not the 'Sunday Drive Lane'. As they say in the military 'Lead, follow or get the heck out of the way!'. Invariably it's usually the usual suspects doing it too that either have no sense of consideration for others or are just plain ignorant that slower traffic should stay to the right. A friend of mine's peave is people saying ATM machine. He says 'ATM machine? Is that the machine that makes Automated Teller Machines?' People who refuse to try and learn things. I just don't understand people who are okay with constantly asking for help on the same things. Crack a book, 'google it'. I don't know how many THOUSANDS of dollars I've saved by refusing to pay for labor that I can do/learn. 'Friends' that you don't hear from unless they need something/help from you.

Never been to their site but thanks for that tip. I've got some woodworking stuff I'm going to Ebay and keep a slush fund going in Paypal.

"However i do not think all spinnerbaits are created equal, but that all spinnerbaits will catch fish. " Yeah, I'd agree with that. You have A chance to catch fish on most things with a hook in it. Some baits offer better odds. A guy I knew in Arkansas while in the Air Force had a 1/4 ounce spinnerbait with a HUGE Colorado blade on it. He'd traded out the factory blade for this and I called him a fool because the thing wouldn't run right. He came back that afternoon with an 8 lb LMB caught on it. I like hot sauce on my crow. :-X

I had been using a Wally World spring scale that was off at times. I just bought a Berkley Digital Scale from there and it's within 2 ounces all the way up to 20 lbs (used hand weights). I think anything you buy is subject to some abuse and therefore must be checked periodically for accuracy.

Good ones........... www.darwinawards.com is where you'll find some real gems.

<br><br>+1. I've never tried the Arby's Horsey Sauce either; just don't wanna know. <br>

Gotta admit, I didn't see this coming. Neither did.........................

I trust my wife completely as she does me. That being said, who could doubt that if you don't put yourself in certain situations you don't have to worry about making the right decision. Stay out of the sty and you don't have to lie with pigs, right?! 8-) My wife and I are involved in church and that's where the majority of the people we hang out with come from. She has plenty of friends and interests outside of mine as I do from hers. I agree with you that you don't need to do EVERYTHING together.

Some sound advice here to be sure but one thing I haven't heard mentioned is BOUNDARIES or the apparent lack of them. A marriage (any relationship really) MUST have boundaries that CANNOT be crossed. NO EXCUSES. Some of the ones my wife and I have: 1. No person of the opposite sex is in your home without both spouses being there. Opposite sex inlaws included (her sister/your brother). PERIOD. 2. No friends of the opposite sex. This may sound a little extreme to some here but with friends there are feelings which may develop into intimacy. The only guys my wife talks to are at church and not for long. The only ladies I talk to are at church and not for long as well. 3. Do not discuss your marriage with a member of the opposite sex. The only person you should be talking to about your marriage outside your spouse is a marriage counselor. I'll wager if you do talk to your spouse about your marriage openly and honestly, the counselor won't be needed. 4. Some things can NEVER be taken back once spoken. This goes right to your post. What your wife said wasn't that bad but it needs to be addressed. I would interpret that as she wants more intimacy from you (OUTSIDE the bedroom). This guy at her work is fulfilling a need that you are not. Calmly talk to her about her needs and what you can do differently. Discuss your needs as well. Also, let her know that her relationship with this guy at her work makes you uncomfortable. She may tell you that you're being ridiculous or something but reiterate to her that right or wrong, it's how that situation makes you feel. Your feelings are validated as you don't feel right about it. For resolution of it, tell her that she needs to keep that relationship at work STICTLY professional. No joking around, social talking, and ESPECIALLY no working lunches. She may tell you that's impossible but it's not. It's necessary to preserve your marriage. PERIOD. I also wouldn't be having him over the house EVER again because that's a form of intimacy and you need minimize the contact with him. Someone might come by, read my post and tell me you need to trust your wife. Well, I do but only a fool would trust others enough not to have some defenses up. Good luck and your marriage will be in my family's prayers.
