    Is it possible to get over depression?

    Sorry but you can't always have your cake and eat it to. I dealt with major depression most of my life with suicidal thoughts and TRIED to fix my depression MY own ways or through the help of medication and various therapists. I've always exercised and though it helps some it doesn't fix it...

    Simulation Software for Restaurant Training

    Looking for a low cost simulation software for restaurant employee training. I have used one before at another restaurant but can't seem to remember the name of it. Basically it would ask how to make a menu item and you would drag from say a left hand column certain menu items to the right...

    Nokia Lumia 520 = $45

    I picked up 3 of these during the Christmas holidays. For under $ 50 you are getting a dual core processor and 4g. Great phone for the price though the build quality is somewhat skimpy but not too bad. Whatever you do don't use on Straight Talk (mms does not work at least in my area)...

    Lets talk about incoming increase in system requirements

    I'm sorry but can't see much difference between my 2500k oced to 4.3 and a 4770 oced to the same amount as being much of a significant difference for processor power. I doubt many people will upgrade for insignificant cpu power increase. I understand and agree with your argument on 64 bit OS...

    What's a good site for juicing recipes?

    Friendly word of caution: Be careful if jumping into juicing and not eating any food. I tried juicing only to detox and jump start fat loss and by day 3 my organs were in intense pain from trying to detox.

    I guess I'm getting old... can't play certain games anymore:

    At almost 42 years of age I can still play fps games on single player at Normal to Hard settings. Though multiplayer it moves so fast I can't even tell who is on what team and get my ass handed to me. My 2 friends at the same age as myself still OWN on many fps beating the hell out of...

    Scared to play horror games...

    Fear and Metro 2033 didn't bother me, Doom 3 did some and Deadspace did for sure the little that I played due to (mouse and movement bugs). Though am scared of many scary movies.

    2013 Holiday Game Purchased you thought would suck but rocks!

    Yeah, bad choice of words, would be alright, but cost of the game was too enticing to give it a try.

    2013 Holiday Game Purchased you thought would suck but rocks!

    What game did you purchase during the holidays 2013 that you thought would be ok but bought it cause of the price and it turned out to be awesome. For me it is Dishonored. I saw the previews and thought meh but once I started playing on suggestion of a friend I can't put it down!

    Dual to Quad Core Upgrade, opinions please

    I would get a 7850 on sale at some point. Though it will be bottlenecked the reason I say this is get the best you can within reason. When you eventually upgrade your cpu/mobo your not going to be as rushed to upgrade that vid card.

    Medical School... a little late and with a LOT of debt

    I'm going to suggest something more away from the norm of this discussion. I agree med school is not the way to go as you will be very far in debt, residency and everything else. You are going to be so stressed out studying that you are not going to have time for your wife that is sick or...

    Convince me to spend $50 more for the Breville juicer

    I've been looking for a juicer so thanks for the link, will order today :). I prefer the $ 100 one due to it being more compact (for me this is important even though my kitchen is good size). After looking at reviews the lower cost one seems to be very powerful at 700 watts. My 2 cents.

    Would you upgrade your pc to play skyrim?

    Qbah, thanks for your comment...feel better about my 7870. I recently upgraded crossfire 5850s to a single gig ed. 7870 (side/slight grade down) due to known crossfire issues with skyrim. Haven't tried game yet as I'm not quite done with Oblivion. Figure 2 gig limit will be more helpful in...

    What to do about mortgage early payoff?

    Economy/Stock market seems to be doing well but most of us know it is false reality. Not to get into long discussion. If you feared that the dollar will fall and lose value and got money from inheritance would you pay off your house if you could? I'm thinking if house is paid off then no...

    YAGT: Where has all the ammo gone?

    Don't count on that backorder from Cabela's being filled. I ordered .223 about 4-5 months ago and it stayed on backorder for almost 2.5 months before being cancelled. Cabela's can suck it as far as I'm concerned. :) I've been noticing Academy is slowly getting ammo in and you don't have to...

    Does one have to be born/conditioned to have good work ethics?

    I feel that it is conditioning over time. I've had bosses in the past that have pushed me "No Excuses Just make it happen" kind of an attitude.....I've always done this my whole life and have passed up many others for promotions. I also feel that growing up poor as a Generation X person you...

    New Car Decision - Civic or Corolla?

    My vote would go to a Honda Fit. Bought one and gave to my wife to drive...it is an 07 so it gets about 31+ in city and 33-35 hwy. Fit can hold a ton of cargo. After 07 inner city driving it is about 27mpg and 33hwy. I'm looking at getting another one again for myself. My 2 cents
