    NightLine: Bush Administration begins downplaying WMD

    Sure, Bush can hope everyone forgets about WMD but he won't be able do to this. Bush has said there are WMD in quantities that threaten the national security of the US and we MUST find them before someone else does. I always wondered why Bush decided to not use thousands of weapons inspectors...

    What would you do?? Details inside...

    Here is what I would do: 1. Remove all money not essential to your ability to not bounce checks and deposit it somewhere else. 2. Since she already lost her job, play the answering machine message for the bank manager. You will have your money in a second, it doesn't matter the relationship...

    I need advice/tips on how to sell more warrenties...

    the "what would you like to know about best buy?" thread

    Here's a question for any BB employee: I just purchased a $400 elph digital camera @ bb with some gift cards I got for Christmas. So, they ask me if I want the extended 4 year warranty. I, of course, told them to stuff it as it was $60 and I usually find that if I put the $60 towards a new...

    Brother was in a Car accident

    This sounds like totally her fault. You were going straight, she was turning left in front of you and regardless of how she read the traffic and assumed anything, it is her responsibility to yield to oncoming traffic. You should call her insurance co immediately and file the claim. Also make...

    How to get a Mac on my wireless LAN?

    You just buy the apple airport wireless card (about $70 on ebay) and stick it in the slot inside the G4. There's a spot on the motherboard, it's pretty obvious how to put it in. Be sure to hook up the antenna. Here's some detailed instructions: Installing an Airport in a G4
