  1. It was ok, but it really downplayed Michael Oher's intelligence and knowledge at that point, and that's the kind of thing that bothers me.
  2. It was horrible. Worst movie I've seen in a very, very long time. The only way someone could have enjoyed that movie is if they were high the whole time. It constantly switches between real life and fantasy, like a bad version of What Dreams May Come. I disliked it so much that I would never consider reading the novel. It was that bad. And I read more than anyone I know.
  3. If that was the agreement, they still can't make them pay now. They aren't retiring all at once. I do hope they sue if they try to force the issue, the amount they will retrieve is not worth alienating some of their workers, and making themselves look like morons.
  4. Until two days ago, I would have said Comcast hands down. I have been paying $62 a month for the past year for internet, digital cable, HBO, and the sports package. However, despite the fact that I signed another one year contract two months ago, they are now saying they aren't going to honor it, because they didn't mean to send it. Since they are refusing to be helpful, or offer me a different similar deal, I'm now exploring other options. Once I get my best deal in place, I'm going to call back and offer them one more chance, but if they don't offer me something good at that point, I'm going
  5. I used to get done early when I was in school too, in elementary they refused to put me in advanced classes, so I started reading, but eventually they had me tutor other kids and help out in the library to keep me busy.
  6. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore_(road)
  7. If you know the officer, and they don't mind doing it, I don't see a problem. I know of people who have done it for others before, and it's usually had some impact.
  8. I'd tell them to shove it. And if they tried to take it out of my current check, we'd have a lawsuit on our hands. This wasn't an accident, they gave them the bonus, they can't just take it away. Can you imagine what'd happen if your company tried to make you repay all your Xmas bonuses because their bottom line wasn't good anymore. On the other hand, if this is somehow legal, why didn't we make all the workers from the auto businesses pay back their bonuses? That would have helped bail them out.
  9. But another student, with an american DL that was expired, would have had their license looked up before they were let go, and then wouldn't have been let go, because the system would have showed expired.

    Unfortunately, if you are too liberal with your kids, they can end up ruining or cutting short their lives before they are old enough to know what the hell they are doing. Or, like my sister (my parents were so strict were both of us boys, but she was allowed to literally do ANYTHING), they have a total attitude change when they hit the teenage years, go crazy, and never go back.
  11. Ugh, that's the worst idea ever. The lunches are bad enough without getting Walmart involved. Why can't they have the lunch people cook actual food, instead of just reheating the cheapest frozen crap they can find?
  12. me either. And how highly do they train census workers, when they work max 6 months every 10 years?
  13. probably. I love the seasonal adjustment, because people leave their jobs for vacations all the time, especially in this economy.
  14. That doesn't sound like the most accurate system either. Not that there probably is a great system, because people are generally too lazy to participate in anything.
  15. Did you buy it from a private person? It sounds like someone was running a scam.
  16. You could get around that easily though, just keep survey markers in place to show the boundary. The buffer would be there just in case the people who did your survey did end up messing up.
  17. Where did you get the car?
  18. It seems like he's opening and closing every other week.
  19. If someone sold a car, and the other person didn't register the car promptly, the original person could report the title missing, and get a new copy.
  20. Honestly, this is where common sense kicks in. People have got to start protecting themselves.
  21. By only counting those on unemployment, they are short changing the numbers quite a bit. Some people aren't eligible, and not just because they quit jobs. There was a point when I was laid off, and wasn't able to get unemployment because I had been on unemployment too soon before, which is why I had to mess around with stuff like staffing agencies (which I hate btw).
  22. She lied to the police and should have been arrested on the spot for not having proper ID and drivers license. If that was any other student, with an expired DL, they would have spent the night in jail. And the University wouldn't be helping them out.
  23. This is a great suggestion. I'm surprised more people don't do this. I know when my dad built houses in Florida almost all the neighborhoods the company he worked for built put this in the covenants, to keep issues from arising.
  24. That has to be a scam. Whatever you do, don't deposit it without triple verifying everything.
