    iPhone vs PDA phone

    My MotoQ seems to do what you've asked for. I can't believe that the Almighty iPhone would not surpass my old antiquated MotoQ in all areas of usability and such :( I like my simple, usable, and cheap old motoQ.

    Manhole covers stolen in Flint, Mi

    Around here, if you toss them in with a bunch of other materials, they just glance in to see what sort of metals you have, and you end up weighing in/out and unloading everything yourself. They wouldn't even know what was underneath a load of metals. When I was an ornery kid in my teens, we...

    Gas Price Info With National Gas Temperature Map

    $3.65 for the cheap stuff in the middle of Iowa. I remember not too long ago when I could pay the neighbor kids $10 to mow my lawn, now I can't even fuel the mower for that price :)

    If fuel Prices Keep rising

    I was a bit surprised to pay $3.59 a gallon this last week during a family trip. However, given the current affects that I see with $3+ a gallon fuel, I can't see any big impact on most of our economy until fuel reaches the $10 a gallon range. Maybe I'm the problem with gas prices, but $3.59 a...

    My dryer went out.

    I'd make sure the drum rotates easily, and it's not jammed. If it's got something causing the drum to drag, it would have ran "fine" last time, but not tumbled enough to dry your clothes, and probably won't actually startup now that it has stopped (I only know this because my dryer did this...

    My dryer went out.

    Hard to say. Could be a fuse, could be the heat element, or could be the drum is stuck (like one of those mysterious missing socks got wrapped around something and it won't turn?)

    My daughter's first sleep over!

    The thought didn't cross my mind... however, many others have echoed your sentiment.

    My daughter's first sleep over!

    I hope things are smoother this week for her and you! Good luck on the speedy recovery. I had a daughter that broke her foot on the playground just walking, and the teachers told her to quit whining, and sent her home on the bus that afternoon. The kids ran from the bus to get me to come...

    Do they still sell new TIVO basic boxes?

    Over the holidays they were offering lifetime for the hd tivos. My buddy bought two HDTivos with lifetime for himself for Christmas.

    Do you have Identity Theft Protection?

    Eventhough I make good money, my spending practices have not been that good. I have little to worry about, as if they could even get credit in my name, they couldn't hurt my rating much anyhow ;)

    Monoprice vs. Best Buy

    Every once in awhile MonoPrice fails me. I ended up buying some security camera cabling (with power wire) from another source since MonoPrice was way higher. But yes, they are AWESOME with most things - I've purchased VGA/Composite/Component cables for all of my projection systems from them...

    How many five-year-olds could you take in a fight?

    I went back and played with the numbers - Looks like I'll need to have a workout session with a swarm of bees in order to do better :/

    How many five-year-olds could you take in a fight?

    Only 29... but I'm convinced that they'd be seriously whooped, and would warn all other kids to stay away

    EBAY: Sellers Will No Longer Be Allowed To Leave Feedback, Fees Go UP As Much as 60%

    Says the buyer :cool: As a seller, I have had my share of buyers that I feel I should warn others about. Unfortunately the transaction is not done until both parties are "satisfied". If the only thing a buyer was responsible for was to pay for the merchandise, then they should be restricted...

    EBAY: Sellers Will No Longer Be Allowed To Leave Feedback, Fees Go UP As Much as 60%

    I disagree. The buyer should be ranked on more than just their ability to follow through on paying. The buyer can end up being a picky/pest, one who tries to swindle more out of the deal, one that expects customer service for a used, one that complains constantly about the cost/etc of item...

    Oberwiess will not deliver because I live in an apartment building

    Actually it IS discrimination. Unfortunately for Bob, it's legal discrimination, as only a few forms of discrimination is illegal. I discriminate against yellow, as I don't care for the color - I don't buy yellow clothes, yellow cars, yellow legal pads, or yellow highlighters. I sure don't...

    Fraud Alert: 1-877-487-4751 Den Enterprises

    A company that has received dozens of chargebacks due to fraud, and is not actively doing something to prevent fraud? Yeah, I'd say they are crooks - allowing potential illegal activity to occur because it brings them business without creating a hassle to ensure that the business is legit. 2-3...

    From hottie to passed out (almost) dead drunk.

    Most places will charge you with drunk driving for sitting in the driver's seat... or even holding the key to your car in your hand outside near the car... Like they can read your mind and know your intentions There was a fellow here in my town that got charged with drunk driving just for...

    Oil hits $100 a barrel

    It'll go right out of the Amercians' pockets and back into foreign pockets as soon as they go to the store to buy just about anything. Not to mention, you GOTTA know that foreign entities will own more of our ethanol production facilities than Americans will.. Where do you think the money for...

    Oil hits $100 a barrel

    I don't believe that it is cheaper to produce ethanol than it is to let oil flow out of the ground. It may be "cheaper" to buy due to a variety of issues (one being subsidies for ethanol, and higher costs of oil due to regional strife) When we hit $5 per gallon for gasoline, then maybe I'll...

    Dealing with a person selling on craigslist

    HAHA! It didn't hit me why they were discussing buying animals in this thread. I thought it was just someone trying to put their 2 cents in on something without really having any direct experience with the issue at hand... however, the thought that this person may have actually thought they...

    rirwin1983 - scam continue

    If he is living in their house (which someone suggested), and they have reason to believe that he is committing crimes, then they are an accessory to the crimes by allowing him to continue to knowingly commit the crimes and not reporting them. I know it's a stretch, but I do believe that there...
