    Why do people use weight training gloves? Is it worth it to buy a pair just for occasional work-outs?

    Line spacing for MS Word

    Does anyone know if there is a way to make the line spacing less than single-spacing in MS Word (aka make the lines ultra close)? I need to do this to redo my resume. THanks.

    LOL, I'm thinking maybe Honda. Technically, I'm a Management Science major which is going to get me a BS as opposed to a BA. Maybe I'll be able to afford two Hyundais!!!

    Question for Acura/BMW Owners

    What job do you have? It's an interesting question for me since I'm a college student and I'm picturing my future job right now in terms of the car I'll be driving. I'm hoping not all of you are lawyers / doctors / engineers / business owners ... cause the my econ major is going to be *bleh*.
