    I learned my lesson today...

    So yeah, here is the story: I'm sitting in the Taco Smell (Taco Bell) drive-thru getting ready to order. I have this guy walk up to me and ask me for a ride back to a hotel. I've always helped people that i've seen on the side of the road broke down (i've never picked up a hitch-hiker). I was...

    Family Members in WWII?

    So I was at my wife's family gathering yesterday for Memorial day and I was sitting next to this elderly man that I really had no clue who he was and we started talking. It happened to be my wife's grandmother's brother-in-law. He is 87 years old. I enjoy history so I started asking him about...

    Jury or Judge decide punishment?

    Okay, on another forum there is a debate and I can't find the answer via google.

    RANT: What the heck is going on around here?

    Not in ATOT, but here at work. Everyone is leaving and management doesn't seem to care. In fact, we now have 1 supervisor for every 2 normal employee's. That is direct management, not once you go up. There are rumors that they want to start hiring temporary employee's to complete projects rather...

    Superstar or not?

    Okay, a friend of mine doesn't follow the UFC at all. The discussion was whether the UFC has any superstars. The definition of a superstar would have to be someone that people know who don't follow the sport. So, please answer the poll without cheating. I think that most people can name...

    Scams via email

    Okay, well, I am really upset right now and this wasn't even my money, it was my dad's. Neither one of us are avid ebay users, and he isn't really internet savvy at all. Anyhow, here's the story: Roughly a week and a half ago my dad bid on a Generator to hook up on his new camper over ebay...

    Anywhere I can find old military records?

    Hello all, I am not familiar with tracking people down. My dad, who is now 55, is curious about a couple of his old friends. I've been able to track one down by simply knowing most likely the area he is in, but this other, i have no idea. We know his first and last name and his...

    Alrighty, here's the situation. I bought my first car on my own a few years ago. It is a 2001 Ford Explorer Sports Trak. The vehicle is still in pretty good condition but the problem is is that it is getting up in mileage and I am beginning to have small things go wrong with it. To be exact, it...

    How can you say you support the troops?

    Okay, i'm a bit frustrated all of a sudden. I've been sitting here gritting my teeth for the past week and a half or so about some of the comments made from the leftists of P&N. References like "Dumba**es" and calling Bush Supporters ignorant or stupid. Then, going back and talking about...

    Obviously, we won't be coming together during this term...

    Here we are at P&N forums continuing to argue over every single issue. We have groups of people from the far left, far right, and a few moderates. It is quite obvious that regardless of what Bush does, there will continue to be bashing of the "other side" and I don't forsee the country...

    Where was this talk before?

    Okay, I may be missing a lot of the story here, but a few weeks back intelligence came back saying, in a nutshell, that there were no signs of Saddam having any WMD's. But now, we are hearing story after story after story with hundreds of tons of weapons that Saddam owned prior to the war being...

    I have $100 what should I be looking for?

    Yes, I am looking for some type of Video Card that is in my price range. I am assuming the Nvidia series will be the best to look for and even though I've heard bad things about the 256MB cards, i'm still tempted to get one. However, if one of the 128MB cards will give me the best bang for my...
