  1. Only sort of bumping this topic to thank LaBob once again for providing the answer. Happened to me again and did a search to find Labob's solution, saved me from much aggravation. No way an old guy like me would just remember the fix.
  2. Not that unusual, just join back.
  3. Semantics, not worth nit picking.
  4. Basically a glitch is a location that the map maker did not intend for you to use. Becomes even worse if you take advantage of the glitch by killing other players without being seen or killed yourself. I have noticed that XI Admins will generally warn before a kick or ban. They have more tolerance than I would likely have.
  5. No problem connecting at 11:08 AM but no one at home.
  6. Well a few more arrests like that and maybe people really would stop talking on their hand held cellphones while driving. BTW, locally a child was hit by a car with a person talking on her cell phone. Driver admitted to being distracted. Sorry, not a good excuse in my book. Fortunately the child was not seriously injured. Talk on a hand held cell phone while driving and the police should beat the shit out of you. That would fix that violation of law. Texting would require even more severe punishment
  7. Kinda fun if you like music. Pick a year and listen or scroll for favorites. Play with it a bit, good fun. http://upchucky.org/TimeMachine.html

  9. we can only hope ZERO. Ahhhh my friend Hxtr, you need to stop approaching life like a personal vendetta. Focus only on the logical as Spock would do. Life would be much less stressful and you might even make some money. Of course you could lose some too. I am in undecided mode. Of course my latest stock pics are all in the tank for now. If the market were a game of odds I would be due for a winner.
  10. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/03/piropos-latin-lover-pick-up-lines_n_1639006.html?ncid=wsc-huffpost-cards-headline#slide=1164373
  11. $17.73, how low can it go? This is very tempting except I am usually not very good at bottom fishing.
  12. I wish you all the best during a most difficult time. Also I understand and respect your personal preferences, rights that should belong to each individual and treated with respect.
  13. This is THE cutest dog! I will brook no argument!
  14. One of the few movies I can watch multiple times, he did a hell of a job and made the movie.
  15. Rain on my roof.
  16. Here I am quoting myself over a senior moment mistake from above, EXON (XOM), not ENRON as stated above. Looking back I wish to hell I should have even stayed with EXON longer than I did. Making me sick looking back on it. (I am a greedy bastard but greed is good.) Oh well, if the Queen had balls she'd be a King.
  17. NAFTA has some effect on jobs going overseas. Fuck NAFTA. Union scale wages presents other problems and I am a UAW member but also a realist. Not sure how the stock market has anything to do with it because there are stock markets all over the world not just here. Walmart sells cheaper so people shop there. A shame for Mom & Pop but it is capitalism in action. BTW, you could have made money with ENRON after the tanker mishap. Same with BP after the oil rig fire. Me, I am not ashamed to try and make money off a companies misfortune and it's future outlook. ENRON and BP are good examples, they are too big to stay down over a accidental mishap. I am still trying to figure out FB. Are they down only because of the really bad publicity or do they really suck? For now still dropping. Sooner or later the bottom feeders will buy in, the key is to try and know when. Some of your issues I can sympathize with but to lay the blame on the stock market is a bit far fetched. Mellow out and vote for Romney. (Do posts get deleted for a political comment?)
  18. Then I suppose you also know that those who basically left there money where it was have not only regained anything they lost and have also substantially increased their wealth. Admittedly there can be problems for seniors or persons who have an immediate need of their savings and may not have the time needed for recovery. Thats why investment strategies change with age. Better yet are those who timed the market and even further enhanced their financial position. Personally I received some very good advice and was not very badly effected by the drop in 2008. A very close friend with whom I had played racquetball for many years at the time was a very well placed loan officer for one of Americas largest banks. (As an example The Donald was one of his clients) He warned me of the looming banking credit issues and advised me to go conservative ASAP with my investments. I was out of the market, other than bonds, in Sept. 2008. Would need to research as to when I started dabbling back in again but mostly only in mutual funds. 1987 hurt but I also got it all back plus. Then again I did not have as much to lose back then. The market historically corrects itself but also historically outperforms conventional savings plans such as bank accounts and CD's. Another little tidbit is to beware of October in general. Usually a bad month for the market. I will certainly be adjusting my investments by mid to late Sept simply as a historical precaution. I take the liberty of posting this link in support of my comments: http://stocks.about....102107crash.htm As always do your own research and do not take as gospel anything said in forums like this.
  19. Mine as opposed to the factory link in lead post:
  20. A movie I hope I will still be around to see.
  21. Just a vid of some musical nostalgia. If any of you ever get the opportunity to go see the Jersey Boys on stage please do so. Fun show about the Four Seasons. http://www.jerseyboy....com/broadway/# I saw it locally with the Broadway cast, an absolutely awesome show.
  22. The Democrats should put those old ladies out on the campaign trail. On second thought perhaps not, I am a Pro Choice Conservative. Do not like saying I am a Republican.

  24. Just picked up a hard to come by toy because of public demand. http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/shotguns/ksg/ Did I need it? No. Did I want it? Obviously. BTW if others are interested I got it for $770.00 + 6% tax, a very fair price considering the demand.
  25. He should get a medal for having a "twat".
