I gave up on BlockBuster a long time ago. Way to expensive vice Netflix and other ways to watch movies.

I think that the bonus money for the lottery workers should be curtailed a bit. I think last year the CEO made as much in bonus as salary ($280K). I think a small group of people actually fund the lottery (the poor mainly) as those that make more, know the odds are seriously against them and don't play very much. The real key is to get more money for education here and if you eliminate a lot of free programs that would free a lot of money up. Not for pay raises (IMO), but for more teachers and schools. We need year round school too, as summer break is bad for the kids and 2-3 we

Well if the previous president did his job, we wouldn't have half the problems we have right now. I just love those that now complain about Bush not being the president any more, yet his screwed up policies and ways of doing things for his buddy here and there is what has caused half the B.S. that the current President has to deal with. It is a fact that most Democrats have worked better at spending less and bringing things back to in the black then the Republicans. I could care less who is in office as along as they really make things a bit better for everyone one vice the few

I don't know about that for sure, But the old fart previous president did sure take more vacations then any other President. I think he spent half his presidency in texas.

This type of thing can go the wrong way and I think it is her fault that this went wrong. The guy was put on the spot and he reacted in the way to protect the company. She knew his position to begin with and still put him on the spot. He was not in the best mood to begin with by he attitude also. I really do hope a lot of folks learn from this and the show stops doing this as it can cause issues where issues don't need to be.

I just got a nice one from Sams for I think was $120 it has a nice lower back support and I have a small pillow I add to it to help out a bit. Just remember you get what you pay for in office chairs. Good luck and look around a lot until you find what fits you.

You can still use that old fashion... thing.... cash...

I gather the manufacture went on the cheap side to save a few bucks.... http://www.ajc.com/news/lemon-girl-scout-cookies-330933.html Excerpt: The Louisville, Ky., company says the cookies are safe to eat. They're just not as tasty as they could be. "The cookies are still edible, but are not recommended for consumption as they are not up to our quality standards," according to the company's statement. Then why ship them out.... Hummmm

If we cut 1/2 the free ride programs, we could save a fortune. l also think those that use a service should pay their fair share to keep it running. I also took a 10% pay cut this past year, so the school system can too as far as I am concerned. One comment noted a 1% cut would save 19 million... so x 10% equals 190 million then bump tuition 10% and you have the money they need.

I am not narrow minded and don't have a small we we to match with big muscles, so I would still get the ticket . I can understand why some cops that fall for a cute , well endowed lady with a tear in her eye looking for a free pass (even though she is acting like she doesn't). LOL Men are not stupid , they know exactly what women do sometimes (as they deny doing somethings) They just play along.... s

Bet you had to look that one up... I knew it and no... I like women quite a bit and respect them. I gather you still don't get it the point.... Thats where I draw the line in having to explain the simplest things to people who have trouble understanding things. You do need to get out of the house and even the county from time to time you know. It helps to enlighten and expand the mind in experiencing things other then living in a small world some people create for them selves. You know you can leave the county without a passport... Really

I gather you missed my point totally.... yup you missed it.... I am talking about talk of tickets on this web site... It has been noted on a few times about women getting out of tickets and oh how lucky you are and etc etc etc But god help someone that might complain about getting a ticket for doing the same thing "SPEEDING" as you were and then let the pounding come down on them for complaining. I guess they should get a sex change to get out of the same tickets, that is if they were a women they would most likely get out of and then can thank the guy for letting them off.

I love all this talk about getting off a ticket and when those that get one complain.... Talk about funny when the shoe is on the other foot. And pushing it to 68 in a 55.... that is speeding, not passing... I love how it is a girl with tears or other girly things to get out of ticket... Real funny how things go 180 some times when a ticket obviously was due here.... Just pointing things out.... Wonder how the next guy ticket complains and how much he will get slammed for complaining..... I think they have a word for situations like this

68 thats not speeding thats flying,,,,,, Women always get lucky

I will just add that I had the pedal stick a few times and scare the sheeze out of me. I was finally able to figure out the problem and removed the floor mat on my own. Toyota Tacoma here 2006 Now I called the Toyota customer care line and sent in two emails early last year and late the year before and was told they had no idea of the problem and nothing was known about the problem. Now I know better and they either were not passing the information or just not putting two and two together or what they were doing. I know my problem is related to the recall and the floor mat does com

I like it, the kids are failing and the results of poor teaching for so many falls upon the teachers. It would keep teachers on their toes and up on things... Kids are not perfect either, but it is a way to start with a clean slate...

we dropped him years ago for our own reasons. Thanks for the info. as we need to get our records.

Cool video movie / media center for movies, pictures, videos etc http://xbmc.org/download/ Turn an old pc into a movie / media center http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/turn-an-old-pc-into-a-home-media-server/ _____________________________ Be careful with your torant.... Comcast and others watch those connections since you share out as well as get. Wastes a lot of bandwidth.

4-Day School Weeks Under Consideration In Georgia
OldGoat99 replied to MillCreek's topic in RECENT TOPICS
I think going to a 4 day week just short changes our kids and asks for problems. This is some dumb ares idiots idea. What fool came up with this? We could save a bunch of money and do away with buses and let parents bring their kids to school. That would save a bunch of money since 1/2 the school kids get there that way already.... Have the teachers and all staff take a pay cut like the rest of the country (except Banking folks and CEO's etc) They got the money when it was good, time to take a hit like the rest of us when it is bad. Make teachers work a 52 week school y -
Well for those of you interested in the solution.... Here is the fix cable... pushes the sound out to the tv Works like a charm at $8.00 .... works very nicely too. Now to find a movie cataloging app. .... I think I have one that will work too. FYI I am using the standard vga cable for video, this cable does the sound part. My cable is Red and white.... not sure why this one is black and red
-
I appreciate the offer, but the card I need is very specific and I think my best bet is getting something like the link. Thanks though
-
Sounds like a S video cable. It would work for me if I could get a video card with a S video to fit my dang low profile computer. But that does work for 90% of users.... simple easy and works perfectly... Not me though...

Just checking if anyone else has done anything like this or has any suggestions. I have a low profile PC with a PCI video card... Choices are limited on the video card aspect. I found this and it looks to be the simplest and pretty cheap too. http://sewelldirect.com/pc-to-tv-adapter.asp I like the fact that my pc is on my home network also... Anyone else have something setup similar and or just as cheap etc?
