    Worst Product Ever

    That's why I plan on installing either a urinal or an old school trough in my basement bathroom, when it is finally done, and no women allowed

    Help getting rid of MIP (not PMI)

    I've got two loans. When I bought I took what was called and 80-15-5 loan. It is 5% down, an 80% mortgage and a 15% homeequity loan. I have two payments a month, but I save a ton because no PMI. It also saved me cause the 15% equity line also brought my primary mortgage below 300K, so I did not...

    Anyone Else Sick Of Sensationalized News?

    A great story was last winter the local (Boston) news stations were all predicting a huge blizzard (up to 2 feet). A newly elected local mayor (not Boston) ordered a snow emergency 12 hours before the snow was supposed to hit. This meant he towed hundreds of cars off of city streets (at the...

    How to cope with huge amounts of spam?

    Here is what I did to avoid getting spam: I opened up two seperate Yahoo email accounts. One is only given to friends, family and others I can trust. The second one is used when ever I have to supply an email address to someone I do not know or if a website asks for an email address to...

    More wight loss questions...

    Do you realize that Bagels are just as bad, if not worse, for you than Donuts, stop eating them. And don't replace them with muffins, they are just as bad. Make yourself a couple scrambled eggs and have them with a container of yogurt or some cottage cheese for breakfast, and eat breakfast when...

    Which directors make good actors?

    I would have sworn Sly directed Rocky, but IMDB has proved me wrong. I guess I was thinking Rocky II, still a good movie, but not the same. Sly also losses points for directing Staying Alive, which is among one of the all time worst sequels

    Which directors make good actors?

    What about Sly in Rocky? Starred, Directed, Wrote and Produced. Some people may deride him for other things he has done, but Rocky was a heck of an achievment for a relativly unknown at the time

    Going to Cancun--A few questions

    I would say to hit La Boom and Fat Tuesdays. At Fat Tuesdays get a 191 Octane. it's made with 191 proof grain alcohol and will surely give you night a nice kick to start. A boat ride over to the Isla de Mujeres (Island of Women) is also cool. I've only been there during spring break so I don't...

    Lest we forget why we celebrate the 4th of July . . .

    "Didn't we burn DC in 1812 or around then? and the battle of New Orleans was around the same time before peace was finally declared....?" I am afraid you are mixing up two different wars. As Kirk Said, the American Revolution ended 1781, 8 years before the French revolution and 18 years...

    Lest we forget why we celebrate the 4th of July . . .

    "the mainland was more concerned with fighting Napolean, thats where the best troops went." Huh? The French Revolution wasn't until 1789, how were the best troops sent to fight a ruler who wasn't in power yet. Napolean himself wasn't born until 1769, so I doubt the British empire was much...

    Need some serious advice here (yet another dating thread).

    Good point about caller ID. Do not attempt to call several times in one day. Try once or twice and then wait a day or so. If you keep on trying and she keeps seeing your ID, she is gonna think your weird.

    Need some serious advice here (yet another dating thread).

    "how is she going to know you called?" She won't, that's why you call back later. This is actually one of the single most vital rules there is. If you get her on the phone there is a very good chance you can talk her into going out with you again. If you leave a message, you do two things...

    Need some serious advice here (yet another dating thread).

    I just read through this his whole thread and I have some thoughts. First off, right now I am very happily married to a gorgeous woman who makes significantly more money than I do. I also happen to be about 20lbs overweight, though most woman still say I am in the upper third, looks wise. I...

    You are the proud parents of a....frog!

    I remeber a story a couple of years ago of an Indian (i think) boy who Peed flies. Apparently the eggs somehow got up there and when the maggots grew into flies they flew out. This is the best link I could find: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_beetle_boy.htm

    Made a rationalization, it’s not worth it to upgrade my receiver…

    Simple solution would be hardocre porn on the screen. I bet that would hold your attention :D

    Made a rationalization, it’s not worth it to upgrade my receiver…

    I can't believe no one has commented on this yet so: "GREAT POSTERS!!!!" I know this is gonna sound bad, but that one in the white bra and undies is Jenny McCarthy right? I think I had that exact same poster when I was in college (and I graduated in 97)

    How to get bugs(leggy kind) out of NAD 1equipment

    I am no expert on this, but I would bet more damage could be caused by trying to get them out, than they could possibly do themselves hanging out in there. They will eventually get hungry and either leave or die on their own. I wouldn't waste much effort. If it were a bee, or a spider with a...

    Stupid parental situation........

    Bryan K, your right. I'd probably just have sex with her two ... maybe let her make me a sandwich afterward :) though I do know, my wife REALLY wouldn't like that at all :)

    Stupid parental situation........

    I'm still a ways away from 40, but I really hope I never get to the point where I don't want to be around 18 year old women :)

    What is a reasonable offer on a house?

    I agree, if I could find a house for $100 sq foot, I'd be livin like Shaq. I bought a house 1.5 years ago and it would average about $206 a foot(330K @1600 feet) and it needed a ton of work, plus I am sitting on a whooping 1/4 acre lot. We still need to replace the kitchen and 1.5 baths, so...

    How can I make the photos on IMDB downloadable?

    I also suggest looking in your temp internet folders. I use that to get Quicktime movie trailers that don't let you download them.

    Help with Linux

    I think it depends on where your boot files are. If they are on the root of C: and your linux is not on C: you may be all right just wiping out the other drive. You will probably have to manually remove the Linux boot files from the C: drive though.

    21 Jump Street/Hunter/Greatest American Hero/Silk Stalkings/Commish/Renegade

    Fired up. I loved Silk Stalkings. Very much a guilty pleasure type show. It jumped the shark when they changed cops though. It had tons of hot chicks and decent plots, though the acting wasn't the greatest. The female cop went off to baywatch and the guy was on Melrose place after leaving the...

    JBLe250P sub owners... question for you

    It doesn't matter which one you plug it into. Also, is your receiver doing the crossover? If it is, set the crossover on the sub to either the highest setting or to off. That way the reciever is in full controll. What speakers are you using?
