    Are your parents divorced?

    My parents got divorced because they just grew into different people and had trouble getting along. My dad had drinking problems he had to work out too. I lived with my mother as did my brother. I saw my dad as often as we could and he always made sure we were provided for. My mother did a...

    Newspapers going away?

    The downfall of newspapers has been the usage or should I say abuses of independent contractors. In most of the places I've lived around the country service has been shoddy at best. When companies don't give the contractors time to deliver the papers coupled with the fact most companies now...

    Math Sucks!

    All very good points and for the most part much of what we learn in college over four years we will hardly ever use on a day to day basis except for the major for most. These courses are intended to open your mind and allow your brain to think in very different ways. If you never learned...

    Who are you favorite SatelliteGuys members and why?

    I like almost everyone for very specific reasons. Everyone is different and because of this we cannot like or dislike everybody the same ya know. When I'm in a good mood and want to laugh my favorite members will be the fun jokers if you will. When I'm talking about a more serious issue my...

    Blockbuster.com down:

    Also phone support tries to lookup account information but fails and as such the system refuses to transfer to a CSR and so far I've found no way to force a transfer to a CSR yet. This type of lackluster support may drive me back over to Netflix again. Updated below...... This is the message...

    Blockbuster.com down:

    Can anyone confirm that Blockbusters website is offline. The same message has appeared since around 4am this past morning if not longer. Its almost noon and they still don't have the site back up. I would just like somebody else to confirm or deny the websites status.

    $5.00 Subway Footlongs

    If they aren't open 24 hours I'll be enjoying my 5 dollar subway sub. I do however agree with you on the rest. I often go to a local joint called Largo Subs and another place called Capa Deli that has great big subs and even greater prices. These aren't chains as you would guess. Besides...

    $5.00 Subway Footlongs

    This was my experience a few days ago sadly to say. This place is also quite good but the last week they have closed down to clean between 4:30-5:30am. I went just after 5:30 and found they had no white bread (they had everything else) and she said they had a big rush on white bread just...

    $5.00 Subway Footlongs

    My local gas station (Rally) has a 24 hour subway that has the 5 buck footlong special. I go quite often right around 5am and get a sub. I really enjoy the chicken bacon ranch sub toasted. I also have the rewards card which gets me a free footlong for every 75 bucks I spend. Its one point...

    Petsmart Coupon Deal:

    I can verify that this coupon works as I just used it at Petsmart a few hours ago. This coupon expires on 12-24-2007 so it won't last long. You must also present your Pet Perks Rewards card as well. If you don't have a Perks card you can get one at your local store. The Perks card "ISN'T" a...

    How to find your member ID:

    You must click somewhere around the 109 and scroll while holding the mouse botton down towards the right. If you do this my number would be 10920.

    How to find your member ID:

    To Wied: This has been a very frequently asked question from many members over my years here. It was asked several more times in chat so I finally decided to make a post. I'm not going to sticky it for you too.:D

    How to find your member ID:

    For those of you that just want to know how many SatelliteGuys and Gals joined before you this is a great way to find this out. First this test works under Vista and IE. It doesn't work in Firefox that I'm aware about at least. It most likely will work under XP but I cannot promise this as I...

    Beowolf 3D

    Imax for me was 12 bucks a ticket which is well worth the big screen of IMAX and 3D just makes it even better of a deal. This is coming from a person with an Optoma HD70 showing HDTV on 100 inches. I will say hockey and football look damn good in HDTV on 100 inches of real estate lol.

    Beowolf 3D

    I saw this movie in IMAX 3D and left thinking about the great future ahead that 3D has. This was the "best" 3D I've ever seen in my life and now I want more of it now lol. I just cannot be happy can I.:D:D:D The plot wasn't that good and the movie just didn't do the book justice but when it...

    Anyone reading Harry Potter?

    Yup I finished it around four hours ago as I read it slow and wanted to take everything in. I started reading it at about 9am Saturday morning. I also quite enjoyed it and it was much more action packed than I thought it would be. Also the ending was what I thought it would be but also not...

    How much schooling have you finished?

    I do like the fact that so many here are so well educated. So I guess I'll list what I have now. I have a double B.S. from Boston College in Computer Science and Economics. I also have a Master of Science from Harvard. To finish it off I have a doctorate (PhD) in Information Systems from...

    Everyone who eats pizza should see this

    Yup some of the BHN techs I've had have been very good and I respect anyone who goes into a Florida attic in the summer with all the animals that can be up there. I heard about one case in my area when a ceiling fan installer needed to enter an attic to install it and ended being bit by a...

    Everyone who eats pizza should see this

    I always tip the mail man/woman and my newspaper carrier but sadly its not the norm. But most jobs do get a decent wage so a tip is indeed a pure bonus out of the goodness of people's hearts and "isn't" excepted at all. But for those jobs that have all of their income in tips I consider it...

    Everyone who eats pizza should see this

    First I "never" said a tip should be given for poor service. But sadly your not smart enough to google the fact that nearly all waiters and pizza delivery people don't even get minimum wage. They get somewhere between two and three bucks an hour and its much closer too two bucks an hour...

    Everyone who eats pizza should see this

    It is flatout common knowledge and expected that pizza delivery drivers "if" they deliver hot pizza in a timely manner should receive no less than 2 bucks per 10-15 bucks ordered. It can be a tad bit more or less. Going by your logic if you walk into a chain like Denny's and your waiter does a...

    Everyone who eats pizza should see this

    In most cases I pick up my pizza as I have a few places just so close like Pizza Hut, Checkmate Pizza and my fav Sal's. Now during football Sunday I tend to have it delivered. My orders are always between 15-20 bucks and I always tip 5 bucks "unless" I get cold Pizza and I can't remember the...

    Cheaper is better

    I had the same experience when I went looking for a 26" LCD for my bedroom. I had a 10% off coupon for Circuit City from my Entertainment Book by the way. So when I moved from Florida to New Hampshire I got a new TV set once I got an apartment. So I was looking for a 26" widescreen HD LCD TV...

    HI from Europe

    Hey smijter and welcome to SatGuys. I might consider getting into FTA but I first need a yard big enough and that just isn't likely anytime soon. Also I'm the type of person that must see value for my investments so if I go the FTA route I'll need to take courses to learn at least an extra 8...

    New Neighbors are pr0n addicts...

    Well with all of those letters going out I'd suggest that everyone give them a second chance. I know now they don't want any trouble and if given a second chance I believe that will be the best people on the street. You know the people that leave you alone lol. I also have this crazy feeling...
