You are doing some "damage" to that weight. Good job, I wish you the commitment to keep at it and to keep it off. It will not be easy.

As unfortunate as it is if the kid was truly trying to burglarize the house he got what he deserved. I wonder if they will ever know if the kid got caught in a stupid prank or if he was really trying to burglarize his sister/neighbors house. For the parent a horrible situation to be placed in but if true as he described he did no wrong.

The Euro's will fail the same as their money, the Euro. Another positive is that Woods is going to sit out Saturday and just be a cheerleader. PS: oh well they decided to play him.

Okay Hxtr, be happy, at market open I will be getting out of any stock type holdings (ETF's) and moving all money in safer type bond investments. Just a gut feeling but I have decided for the moment to leave the casino while I still have their money in my pocket. I took a few hits like ALU and NOK but overall the market has been very good to me. I am just getting nervous and do not want to give any back. However, in due time I will visit again. For now it's just Mutuals and ETF holding bonds, a safer investment.

Ugh! Not a good day in the market. Took a bit of a hit today. It is beginning to worry me enough that I already had already bailed on a few stocks (ALU, NOK, CSCO and a couple others ) and moved into bonds. I guess I could take the approach that I made money by not losing it.

You may not have the NHL this year.

Having had it done I can tell you it ain't bad if they can do it Laproscopicly, a procedure using maybe 3 small holes. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007371.htm Mine was real bad, gangerous they found out after removal. I hope they do not have to filet you for removal. BTW when my gall bladder went south I can say in all my life I never had such pain. Glad to get rid of it. No lasting side effects for me either. I wish you good luck and a happy ending.

FB in the tank today over $2.00 at the moment. A negative article in Barron's, a respected financial publication, in bold headlines set FB's value at $15.00. This may have impacted the market. Short sellers would have made a few bucks if in at market open or market close Friday. I am sure some at Barron's made money knowing what the headline article was going to be in Saturdays paper. Fools if they didn't. Short selling would have been perfect.

If you want a penny stock I would try ACPW. I don't own any but have considered it and am still considering a buy along with SD which is not a penny stock but is below $10.00. Pennies are a play where you can make a few or lose a few real quick.

At the moment, 8:40 PM Eastern the server is down, been so for a few minutes. No idea when it went down.

In honor of Steve Sabol NFL Films........ R.I.P. The Sabols' had much to do with the rise of the NFL in the American conscience.

You are one tough dude, you have my admiration and best wishes for recovery.

Just an add on that I believe has already been handled and this post is for information only since I was in each game and want to make sure things are clear. Frazzle, the subject of this post and Frazzle1 who was in the WAW MW today are not the same individual by voice. Clearly different. I X-fired an Admin and believe all is as it should be and any possible issues have been handled by XI. Just wanted to make clear that solely by voice Frazzle and Frazzle1 were not the same persons. I offer no opinion on Frazzle1 as a player except that he is young. I will leave it at that.

I am admittedly a capitalist, don't matter much whose shares I buy..........BP, Exxon or even FB as long as I can make a buck or two. Whether I hate them or not is not a investment issue for me. As I said before I made money from BP and Exxon's problems but I still will not buy their products. Just remember Hxtr, it's business, you are not sleeping with them. However Hxtr, just for your moral integrity there are mutual funds that are socially conscious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socially_responsible_investing I have no money in socially responsible investments. As I said, I am a capitalist. BTW, what is your FB name?

Well..............not to say I told you so but................ Had you bought FB when it went below $18.00 you would have a had about a 22% profit at the moment. Oh, did I forget to mention that I did not listen to myself and also did not buy?

It is no longer comical when he is upsetting your guests. While I am the one who posted here I personally ignore or mute those who annoy me. However his comments went far beyond comical under any circumstances and had several of your guests upset. I recognize it is your house to do as you wish but I assure you he will cost you players, and I doubt any XI wants that, comical or not.

At the risk of treading on ground where I have no business I just want to make a comment on Frazzle. He was on the WAW DM server around 7:00 PM accusing all players of all sorts of hacking and multiple other derogatory comments. Many guest were complaining about him. I suggested just muting him as can be done as an option. Lil Toot was in game for awhile as was another XI who I fail to recall neither were Admins to my knowledge. Also in game were Yoburt, Qualms, Roofleskilla and myself among others. For me to post something like this in the forum as only a guest who knows my place should give some indication of how bad he was. Sometimes I know I can be outspoken, personally I am comfortable commenting about Frazzle because it was the worst behavior I have ever seen on XI servers and warrants mention even from a guest. I should also add he bragged he had been banned before and can just come back as he wants. Feel free to move this post to Private and PM me if I am out of line.

When my computer crashed last night and I tried to rejoin I kept getting this error message, even after multiple reboots and safe mode. I Googled the issue and found the fix was something I would not have expected in a million years. Simply unplug and reconnect your Mic. It worked. What the heck my Mic had to do with the executable I have no idea but just thought it was worth posting.

Punt.............7:55 PM down.

Problems I do not need. Some file missing and I did not want to reinstall. Downloaded a AVG browser and made it my home page even though I did not select options offered, I downloaded from CNET. Did a system restore and I still had AVG as the hone page and as an added browser. Corrected that stuff and am staying with what I got. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Because I use a PC downstairs in my basement and he uses a 2 or 3 different laptops. History is only on each PC or laptop.

Motorola SB6121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem, Linksys wireless. He is my computer guru and has admin access. To change that would raise questions I don't want to deal with. Call me a wuss if you wish. I think I'll just reinforce my opinion at an appropriate time, hope he has the respect to do as I ask, and wait to see if the police come to arrest me. I would think as the primary account holder I would get a warning first from Comcast. I would ask Comcast to look into it but that is a can of worms best left unopened. Then again perhaps not, might not be of their concern.

Yup, that is a good explanation of my concern. I have told them, I hope they are respecting my wishes. But I do have a concern. My oldest son, now living at home, is coming up with a lot of movies to entertain his kids when they come over each weekend. I don't see him buying any CD's but he has a shit load of movies. I also know he has done this in the past from his house and a motel room we had rented. At 38 years old he of course knows everything as kids tend to do. Adding to that he works in computer repair for a large multi-national company so will think he is smarter than the average bear. While he is a great son I would not put put it past him to ignore my concerns because with his knowledge he may just blow of my concerns as unwarranted. I have on occasion, at my convenience while on my PC in the basement disconnected and reconnected the connection just for the hell of it. (The devil makes me do it. )

I don't really want to lock anyone out, I just want to make sure they are not taking advantage and downloading movies which can result in problems with regard to illegal downloads. The thing is it might not even be happening but I have my suspicions. I just do not want to react to a suspicion. I like to be sure before I say anything. I look stupid enough often enough without adding to it with unfounded suspicions.
