Easy killer.... that's kind of rude to snap at people who are just pointing something out to you - especially since you don't even appear to be a jumper (just going by your profile) and you've just shown up here looking for someone who hasn't been around here in a number of months. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Stop drinking so much after jumping it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the last number I heard was that the government ordered 45,000 body bags I really hope most of those are for "them" not "us" it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Macro virus maybe. Trojan, I doubt it. I didn't get any alert... what version of norton? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

So what you're saying is, the next big terrorist organization will come out of Turkey? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

The car wash where I grew up had a big sign that said "No Mud" Guess they got tired of it. And I thought the rule was, you only wash the wheels - everything has to stay covered for a few days. Maybe ya'll do things diffr'nt in Texas. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Just off the top - Simplify it. Fancy looks nice, but it's not going to impress HR one way or the other. Take the lines out, go with a 'standard' font - a lot of companies are scanning resumes, OCR'ing them, and just dumping them into a database and searching for key words. Take irrelevant job experience out. Tailor the resume to the specific job you're applying for. Maybe add more in the 'skills' section or create another section for activities or interest - show them you're a well rounded person. I even put "USPA Member" on mine. I'd take "Learn new applications quickly" - that's more for a cover letter. They want tangible skills. Another thing I've heard (and am currently experimenting with myself) is to put how many years of experince you have with that skill. This is more for technical resumes, but might work here too. Example: Windows NT/2000 - 5 years Windows 9x - 8 years Microsoft Office - 8 years Kissing Ass - 12 years Making Coffee - 7 years ---- I actually put mine in order from most to least experience. If you think long enough, you should be able to come up with 1/2 page of skills alone. Thin it out of course. Take the "references available" off there Just a few ideas.

Yes. The definition of selfish = thinking of no one but yourself. Like it or not, you have a responsibilty to those around you, and just bowing out of life will affect them, normally in adverse ways. It won't affect you at all, you'll be dead. And only in extremely rare cases do I even see how life could be so hard and painful that you just choose to quit. No, that's bullshit, and that's a fake friend, not a true friend. If I think someone does something stupid, I'll tell them. If I think they did something shitty, I won't say "oh, but it's ok, you're my friend, I'll support anything you do" - if you want unconditional support, go to a shrink or a priest. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Sorry for your loss and all, but this is the most twisted, insane view on life I think I've ever read on this site (excluding jraf and CrazyTomas' posts) It doesn't take any strength at all to admit you want to die. You're just quitting. How hard is it to quit? It's not, you just stop. Doesn't take strength or resolve or any of that. I had a friend kill himself in high school - I called him a selfish, weak bastard. I hardly remember any good times I had with him anymore, because they're all tainted. Not only do you leave your friends and family just because you give up, but any amount of good you might have done with your life will never happen (did you ever see It's a Wonderful Life? ) and you also basically nullify any good memories your friends/family may have had of you. And that's a pretty shitty thing to do to. Waste their time and make them live with that suffering. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Boy howdy.... and god that's annoying! I'm normally stupidly trusting. But, I've had suspicions before, and they turned out to be true (and then some!) It's really nice when you can find someone you can trust. I know, most people say they trust their SO, but most don't really completely trust them. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

speaking of coolest things ever (besides caffeine) I think the 'on-the-fly' spell checking that Word does now is pretty damn cool. All you have to do is at least get close, and it just changes your fuck ups. On the downside, I'll never actually learn how to spell anything. The way Excel tries to guess what you're doing annoys the crap out of me though, it keeps changing my format. I know it thinks I'm trying to put in a date, and it's trying to be helpful, but I'm not and it's not. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Don't look now, but I think someone just agreed with me! You've only had one experience like that? Damn.... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I've never understood this logic. Which is worse - telling him upfront about in which case he may a) be cool or b) flip out. If he flips out, then you need to re-evaluate the strength of your relationship, or just not go to make him happy. or the alternative, you go without telling him, and just hope he doesn't find out about it or a mutual friend doesn't see you with the other guy and say something. In this case, he is bound to flip out, and pretty much has good reason to. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Yeah, but if it was totally innocent intentions, what's the problem in being open about it in the first place? That's where the paranoia and jealousy start. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Nice! Probably could have compressed the last 3 or 4 minutes, but you were probably trying to fill the song - understandable. You could have put in some footage of the extra-curricular activities in the "C-130" -- that would have been entertaining, taken up space, and worked well with the song! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I'm sure you could work something in there like "Here's to smearing your new hubby with Crisco, and riding him like the penny pony outside Wal-Mart. You've only got one life to live, so drink all the Diet Dr Pepper you can, talk to all the Christmas trees you want, and never let anyone see those pictures of you in a leaf bag at college." it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Cool... well we got that much accomplished Oh, and for those of you arguing about leave it powered/not powered - it's an electric motor, you have to have it powered for that manual eject to work. So.. uhh.. yeah, I see you're in AZ - make ya a deal, fly me out there and I'll see if I can recover any of your data You can always try freezing the drive - depending on the problem, that's been known to get it going at least long enough to recover important files. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Did you type "eject" or "eject cd" ? Look at the attached picture (stolen from apple's kb) - look familiar? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Umm, yeah, 12.6 ppd is not really something to be proud of. Actually, I think anyone over 10 should be forced to go into some sort of rehab. We need an 'intervention' I wonder if the Betty Ford Clinic will start a new program... some of you people need to get off the juice! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

You might be a post whore if... ... your posts per day are over 5 ... you start a poll just to ask if others think you're a post whore ... your sig line is longer than 90% of your posts ... if you've ever posted to a thread you knew was going to be locked, just to say you got one in under the lock ... you've replied with just a smiley or something like "ha!" in response to a post ... you have to change your user icon every few days because you think people have gotten tired of seeing your latest one already Anyone else? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Well everyone knows that was just done to try to raise support for a stupid war. "Oh no! We're at level Orange! (whatever that means) I'm frightened! Yes! Go blow shit up, do whatever it takes to make me feel safe again!" it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Haha! You think that's bad?? I clean it (and my start menu) up every few months... it's about time again I think. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I've just been informed that holding the mouse button down as you boot should also do the trick. If not, there *is* an eject hole around there - is your imac CD drive a tray drive? Or a slot? (does a tray pop out that you set the cd on, or do you just put it in the slot like a car cd player?) it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

boot imac after the chime, press Command-Option-O-F (hold it) should get a white screen type eject cd and hit return That work? That'll at least get your disk back. If those repair tools did nothing for you, you can probably just replace the drive and reload your OS. Get someone to see if they can salvage any data off the old drive. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Well I would, but I don't have a Mini Cooper, or Jesse James and his outlaw band of mechanics. Besides, I'd rather have a Lexus convertible, and be someplace warm to use it. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
