QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) My wife and I were pre-approved for $250,000 and we bought our house for about $170,000. It was tough going for a bit there, but we are now doing O.K.. My word of warning to you is to stay away from what you are pre-approved for. that's really, really good advice in a world that doesn't promote conservative consumerism in any way. thanks Kid.

whitehouse.com is awesome! I love seeing what the president is up to!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) I would do your homework and buy it at all possible. Don't let the housing market scare you, this is the time to be a buyer. Even if we slide a little further, as long as you lock into a 30 year fixed mortgage, you will be fine. definitely, but not necessarily the time to be a borrower. We'll be looking in a year or so.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Netgear makes a pretty decent $20 router. It's what I use. or that I would guess it depends on the brand and where you get it.

It's Martin Luther King day, in case you didn't know why you had off today.... (I don't....yeah, figure out that one)

QUOTE(Nunnigan @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 01:43 PM) First let me start off and say I'm not much of a tech buff, so bear with me. I got a PS3 earlier this month along with CoD4. After beating the game, I've been itching to play it online. The problem is I dont have an internet connection in my room. The only room in the house that has internet connection is the one right below my room. Now with the questions, can a wireless router reach my PS3 from the room below? Also how much would a wireless router cost? Thanks for any help it depends on the construction of your home. It should reach in most cases and a wireless router is ~$60

Anyone watch "Jericho?" Me and the Mrs picked up the first disc of the 1st season....I love the premise. The acting leaves a little to be desired, but it's entertaining nontheless.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 10:16 AM) It disturbs me that some people make their oatmeal with water instead of milk. your compulsion is that you don't like people who follow directions? that's not a compulsion...that just makes you an idiot I kid because I can©

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 10:58 PM) When I eat a meal, I eat one thing at a time, in reverse order of how much I'm looking forward to eating it. I have always been given a hard time about eating things one at a time, but I really have never told anyone I'm eating with that there definitely is an order. I do that a lot too... get the bad stuff out of the way.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 11:18 PM) To add to the 3:10 to Yuma comments, I too just watched it. It was incredible... the only hole that bugged me throughout the movie was patched at the end when I really enjoyed this film and think its easily on the level of Tombstone and Unforgiven. why did that bug you?

QUOTE(shipps @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 05:00 PM) Dont you hate when you can feel a piece of hair in your mouth but cant spit out or take it out with your hand.Lol that is awful. nice, thank you for sending me down a compulsive slope for the rest of the night.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 04:37 PM) Are you always wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, then? I'm usually ok with my own hair...thankfully, male pattern baldness assists in this proces. It's mostly long hair...I hate when you're swimming in a pool and the feeling of feeling tangled in hair. UUUUUUUUh, I'm going to puke just thinking about it. Worst story(ies) involving hair: 1) I was eating salad...it had broccolli in it. I found a hair on a piece. No big deal, I'll just take it off. *TUG* it was IN the broccolli. GROOOOOSS. 2) Had a party one night and people were drinking out of platic cups. Well, one girl had nothing but ice in hers and accidentally spilt them on the floor. Instead of her throwing out the cup and ice, she scoops up the ice and puts it back into the cup and leaves it on the coffee table. Fast forward to the next morning. I'm getting ready for work and eating breakfast and drinking OJ....in my sleepiness/morning hang over, I grab the wrong cup.....I get a mouth full of fuzz and hair that had caught a ride on the ice before it melted in the cup. Gross indeed. and you wonder why I have a complex?

I'm thinking about getting a pet fish and naming it "Chivalry"... so when it dies, I can definitively say that "Chivarly" is, in fact, dead.

QUOTE(shipps @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 04:08 PM) Channel 7 news is doing a story on frost bite right in front of my desk.Should I do something stupid?haha hold up a sign that says "Soxtalk.com ruleZZZZ!"

There are only two things that I can't stand: 1) People who are intolerant of other people's cultures 2) The Dutch no, actually: I really don't like shaking people's hands...I especially don't like eating after holding hands to pray. I always take a lid from the middle of the soda lids pile. I hate hair that's not on the human head.....hair in food is my worst phobia.

So they dangle this carrot (a bonus) in front of us all year long, only to find out that it's a nasty moldy carrot (a LOT less than expected) at the end of the year. It reminds me of the Office where Michael promises a "big surprise" for everyone in the office and it ends up being ice cream sandwhiches. so with my dismal bonus, I'm thinking about buying a few hundred ice cream sandwhiches and interofficing them to everyone in the bank. thoughts? any else get treated well by their employers?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) So out of curiousity, What would Ron Paul's solution be to fixing the potential recession if he was President right now? give it a pap smear...

Hey, I just hit 7000 posts! ........7k meaningless posts. It's not easy what I do...not easy at all.

The biggest loser is fun, but honestly...it's like 30 minutes stretched out over 2 hours. They accomplish that by including easily 30-45 minutes of commercials, and then when they come back from a commercial break they recap the last 30 seconds before the break. I want the Orange, Grey and black teams to do well. stupid white team are all bitter they got booted...even though that was the only thing that was going to motivate them to lose weight.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) What does this mean? How do you get a private server? And how do you play for free? I haven't played WoW in a good 3-4 months but might jump back in. Private servers are based off of a "blizzard like" open source program (well one of them, anyway) called MANGOS. Basically, there are people out there decoding WoW every day and turning it into an open source platform. I "know a guy" who has a server and you can play for free because there is no monthly subscription. We recommend paying for their software and then using "this guy's" server to play. Because "this guy" owns/operates this server, we (I'm an admin) can come up with custom content, manipulate drop rates, boost levels, teleport anywhere, and more or less do whatever we want. This server has a low population, but we're looking for people to join. Here's a shot from a recent custom content adventure:
