    Need a bit of advice here...

    UPDATE My mother came home tonight and had some groceries. I helped her bring them in and went to watch some TV. I had thought she went outside to the garage to argue with my father some more for the "little things" I have recently referred to. After not hearing any noise I got curious and...

    Need a bit of advice here...

    While you may be right about "little things" bothering other's such as my mother more, I honestly don't think that my mother will ever be truly happy. She complains of not having "nice things" when she is surrounded by great possessions. She has a pewter collection that is the largest I have...

    Need a bit of advice here...

    To reply to your question...no, she doesn't do anything out of the house, except work. She is a substitute teacher, but other than that she does nothing except house duties. My mother doesn't really have any friends and we never get visitors...so she is happy to have me home so she isn't so...

    Need a bit of advice here...

    I want to thank all of you for your kind advice. It does help. I figured the best thing to do would be just to reassure her that I do care. My religious beliefs, or lack thereof, shouldn't have anything to do with this, but for some reason she has a misunderstood view of my way of life... I'm...

    Need a bit of advice here...

    Greetings, There might be a better forum to post this on, but I have always enjoyed talking to people on Anandtech, so I'll try it out here first. I recently moved back home with my parents because of financial difficulties, and after being away for a while, I'm getting to see again how...

    What do you think about DUI checkpoints?

    I do not support them. Now, I don't go to bars and I rarely drink at home...so whether they are there are not really does nothing more than inconvenience me. But if I were driving impaired, all I would have to do is take a side street. 90% of the places they will have them are expected, so if...

    Hey Everybody...need some advice here...

    That is why I did not post anything yesterday or all day today. I've already gotten two interviews and put my resume in at at least 15 different places. I should have a job within a week, if not by Monday. As far as internet...I don't have cable, and the $10/month for dial-up is well worth it...

    Ann Coulter, could this finally be her end?

    My mother loves Ann Coulter...how? I have no freakin' clue. Just listening to my mother quote passages from her last book was almost mind-numbing. The part about how stem-cell research is horrible was the most laughable.

    Anyone from the Hartford area?

    I live in Bristol, CT. As Coquito put it, well, grey and depressing. Haha. Well I really don't think it's all that bad. I just got done with a job in the West Hartford Center, where you will either meet the most down-to-earth college students or the most pretentious pompous-nosed stuck-up...

    Hey Everybody...need some advice here...

    UPDATE I went in yesterday and talked to my boss and manager. They say they didn't call Monday because they assumed I would come in to grab my paycheck. I didn't, but they still didn't call. They assumed the same thing Tuesday, and still didn't call. They kept beating around the bush about...

    Hey Everybody...need some advice here...

    Ah I see...that's a bit odd. Well I'll just have to call up then, won't I? Thank you for pointing that out.

    Hey Everybody...need some advice here...

    I just looked on this page (select the link for filing a claim online) and it says I'm eligible only if I had only one employer in the past 6 months.

    Hey Everybody...need some advice here...

    I came late about 3 times in one week. That was two months ago. Since then, they cut my shifts and treated me like a piece of scum. I'm used to that from customers, but not from employers. I had a better time working for a greedy corporation like Ruby Tuesday's. Anyways, I wasn't late for two...

    Hey Everybody...need some advice here...

    I know it differs per state, but when I checked it out, I don't think I'll be eligible for unemployment. It said you have to have only one job in the past 6 months, and this was my second...

    Hey Everybody...need some advice here...

    Alright..well...to start off...I've been a server for a while now. I was working at a nice restaurant making good money for about three months now, and on Saturday night I closed. When the manager was leaving, I asked when I had to be in, because the schedule wasn't up. She said she would call...

    Another Weed Thread

    I used to smoke everyday, but lately I've slowed down quite a bit. I was in between jobs, and I can't spend the money I don't have on that. I honestly thought I would have craved it more, but I really didn't. I have smoked more cigarettes because of it, which I am not happy about (cough). Now...

    McDonald's Carrot sticks, kids will eat them if they are McDonalds

    The tactics that companies use to advertise their products is manipulative and incredibly unfair, but we still have to be aware of it. You're right Zedtom, I see people all the time at the supermarket and notice what they get, name brand products, and sometimes paying twice as much for them...

    Marijuana, Legalize It??

    Of of course we should. Compared to other drugs, there is no question it shouldn't be. But at the same time, the base argument is that I can't tell you what to put into your body and you can't tell me what to put in mine. So therefore, all drugs should be legal. It is extremely idealogical, but...

    Weird Control Issue in Video Games

    Yup, it was the game pad plugged in. I had forgotten that since I bought it, it always had a slight left touch to it, the piece of crap that it is... Anyways, thanks a bunch guys.

    Weird Control Issue in Video Games

    Thanks guys. I have a wireless laser mouse, and a wired keyboard. Both using the PS/2 slots. I actually have a gamepad that is connected. It isn't on it's side, but it just might be causing the issue. I'll check back after I test this out.

    Weird Control Issue in Video Games

    Hey guys, been a while since I've been on here, the site looks nice. Anyways, I am really confused. I've searched all over online and couldn't really find anything on this. I was playing Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory a few weeks ago and had to stop because at one of the last levels, suddenly...

    An experience I just had at Wal-Mart

    But it could be you just don't want to accept the evidence. When I see a BBC article telling me that a number of the hijackers were alive and not terrorists...THAT is powerful evidence. That is what made me look further.

    Thank you, Sir. You are the reason I posted this message, not the 50 million other people who criticized me right off the bat. I really just put it up spontaneously. I knew there would be people that don't like it. I always laugh when a car flies by me on the highway giving me the...

    Right, so I'm a tard because I used my Freedom of Speech? I don't see how. Because my friend died in Iraq, I researched a topic and came to a conclusion. That makes me liable to be shot...nope, can't find the logic in that...

    An experience I just had at Wal-Mart

    I'm not here to debate you on this, but you are wrong. When everything since 9/11 has happened in the favor of Bush, Cheney, & Co., you have to wonder... Cheney's stock went up over 3000% last year... They knew that Iraq would create more Terrorism, and went in anyways... We've seen...

    An experience I just had at Wal-Mart

    Well first I was educated in PA, second, I don't give a crap if this thread gets locked. I gave up on debating 9/11 a long time ago. I know I'm not gonna convince anybody, and I'm not trying. I will tell people to look at the evidence, but after that, it's up to them. The point was that the...
