Happy birthday shhhhwweettharrrt

Don't hassle the Hoff fockers!!!

Congrats! That looked phenomenal!

Sorry to hear luv...but think positive. If need be, take a few hours, cry, beat the shit out of someone, go skydive, but get that NEGATIVE energy out somehow. Then, come back to it and focus on the positive.

I see what you did there...

The day ain't over yet! *shudders and forwards the clock to 12:01am* There...day over!!!

Hmm...that worked for me on my Vista laptop. Are you getting any error messages? or nothing at all?

Yea yea...your post was the influence for this. Aren't you proud of what you've spawned? (Let's hope that's ALL you've spawned)

My favorite... Q. Do you know what time it is? A. Yes. What's your favorite?

Not climbing out there w/o a parachute on my back.

(I dug this up on another forum after I had a similar issue. It works!) --------------------- First step, Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Create a restore point and name it something like "Before USB Fix". This is to bail you out if something goes wrong during the following process and makes things worse. Unplug ALL USB devices. Open Device Manager. View, Show Hidden Devices. Uninstall all devices under USB Controllers. Uninstall all devices under Disk Drives that you know are not present. Uninstall all devices under Storage Volumes. Say no to any reboot prompts until you are finished. Also, if a Storage Volume doesn't uninstall, ignore it and move to the next one. If you have a yellow ? with unknown devices, uninstall all of the entries there as well. When this is done, reboot TWICE. See if the USB drive is recognized after the reboots.

I am still a bouncer. I'm also 5'8ish and 190...not your typical bouncer stature. But, I've never been in a serious fight at my job. Partly because it's a live music bar and not a place where people go to start fights for idiotic reasons. Partly because any potential altercation I've been in I've always broken up with words and not my fists. The worst it got is jumping between two guys that were wailing at each other, stepping in front of a much bigger guy who slapped a girl and escorting him out, and a few other similar situation. Of course, for a 3 year stint when i wasn't working there, two of the bouncers were acting like assholes and got stabbed for their efforts. I'm not saying that anyone deserves to get stabbed, but for their idiotic actions, they deserved at least a smack in the face; unfortunately they got stabbed (but lived to tell about it.) And finally, because I'm a small guy, most bigger guys think a. he's too small i don't want to embarrass him or b. he's small but he must know some shit, i better leave him alone. Back to the weapon topic...if my life was in danger, and I was sure of that 100%, I would definitely try to disarm them or go down trying, especially if it meant defending my loved ones. But...is it always 100% guarantee that anyone who pulls a weapon on you WILL use it once they get what they want? The person yelling obscenities and waving their gun at you might slink away into the night once they get your wallet; the quiet psycho might just shoot/stab you and take anything they want. So, can you be 100% sure that their weapon will be used against you, and if so, should you try to disarm them? I say you can never be sure...

I like that thought a lot more, but I certainly dont want to get my hopes up. I hope you give him the boot and find someone who's willing to meet you halfway, and I don't just mean in the actual driving sense

N/A

Arnold Not that guy. The Governator of California!

Why does Arnold come to mind?

Let's say you were trained in martial arts, and one of the focuses was disarming techniques; gun, knife, club, etc. Now, let's say someone comes up to you (or you and a group of your friends/loved ones) on the street, points an aforementioned weapon at you, and asks for your money & valuables. Would you give everything up, or would you try to disarm the person?

Oh ya...mornin' y'all!

Groceries ain't gonna cut it noobie. BEER!!!

Your response should be "Well not in your direction."

Thanks luv...come take care of me?

Gah! Must be my Jewish luck...

Peter, it is not like you cannot afford a plane ticket or two. If she is not married or attached permanently if you showed up she would feel like a fairy tale princess or at least you would know that it would not work. Man up. So what the hell are you going to do about it? Wrong name You must think I'm someone else. Besides, I'm Jewish, she's Muslim. I have no problem with religion, but she asked me to convert to Islam. That I will not do for obvious reasons...

LOL, holy shit you are right! But do you blame him for wanting to get in that pic? Youse guys are making me spit out my Dayquil. I'm sick and need my medicine damn it!!!

First an only real love...i mean the fairy-tale kind of love where everything about them is perfect, even their imperfections, where anything that you do is perfect, where you can spend 24 hours together or a few days every few months, and you'll still love each other. That was 10 years ago. She was in the US for 6 months, visiting her sister. Left to go back to Morocco. She's still there...and I'm still here. In the Freudian sense, I still haven't gotten over her.
