    JOBS!!!! :rant:

    Well since (pims) sort of gives away where you work, at least to anyone who works there, I can tell you that if he was giving you a review and a raise all of that has to be done with paperwork first before it is entered into PIMS. He has to do a sit down review with you in the office and go over...

    Who here reads?

    Wish I still had time to read, a wife and two kids later I just don't have any free quite time to myself. Maybe when the kids are a little older. Used to have a library of about 600 books, mostly Sci-Fi/Fantasy, which I donated to the local library when we moved last time as we just didn't...

    Real Estate Agents?

    I'd say that this probably isn't the best time to become an agent at least from the viewpoint of economics. The way I see real estate going this from this point out is that prices are going to flat line or drop and that will prevent most people from moving for a profit like they've been doing...

    Direct TV

    Not true. Depends upon where you live, if you are in the L.A. or D.C. metro areas and are unable to recieve over-the-air reception you can get the major networks local channels, CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX. Watch them every day at work on our satellite feed for running the store. As for quality it...

    good tool set?

    If there is one near you check out Harbour Frieght, they have good tools. No lifetime warranty like Sears and definately not in the same range as Snap-On or Matco or Mac but they have a great value. If you are looking for something with a good warranty then Craftsman is a good deal and they...

    Radeon TV-Out destroyed my TV 8(

    Wasn't the nicest way to say it but he is right, there is no way a video input did that to your TV. Something witha decently strong magnet had to be near the TV for that to happen, it screwed up the beam pattern from the gun in the tube. I'd check around for anything that has a magnet in it...

    Car audio recommendation for MX-6

    What year MX-6 are you looking at getting? If it's the 93-97 model I can give you a lot of install advise as I probably went through 7 systems total in my old one. Best thing is the dash has two DIN openings to use for radios and other stuff and you can squeeze three out of it if you remove...

    V6 for p5?!?!?!?

    Just be carefull with these, I've found that the hub can actually end up being frozen to the axle. I had to get replacement axles off a 626 for my old MX-6 when the CV boots tore as I was not able to remove thehubs even after cutting the nuts off and using a 2 ton press on them. That was...

    1080p TVs are hitting stores!!

    Biggest TV on the market would be the Mitsubishi Alpha 82" 1080p LCoS Rear-projection http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/televisions/details.asp?id=94 Been on the market for over a full year now. Not the most expensive, but it still costs more than a lot of cars at $20,000. Largest plasma on the...

    Need living information on Bainbridge Island

    Got a request for you Washington folks. The wife and I are thinking of moving up to WA from Los Angeles. We're think of Bainbridge Island, as it's a small population, seems to have good schools and has a nice setting. Downsides I can see is that it's a 30-35 minute trip by ferry to Seattle...

    Alarm/Moonroof setup

    Yes, it's possible but you need to get a sunroof/moonroof module for DEI for it to work properly. If I remember correctly it's the 529T. This has limit switches built in to it which stop the sunroof from closing and then opening again in moonroof mode. This assumes that you have a...

    Anyone used an online dating service?

    I'd say it is well worth a shot. I met my wife through an old Yahoo personals ad that I had years ago. Now I've got two kids and a happy home life. It's just another way to meet people, you still have to go out on dates and interact and see if you fit each other. Never tried the online...

    Real estate Question?

    Corwin's link is actually a great one to read. This quote from it is the best advice possible, "Most important, is their personal style a good fit with your own?" I've now been through four agents in four years and only liked two of them, unfortunately the first one is 30 miles away...

    Real estate Question?

    I never recommend using the seller's agent. They are exactly that, an agent for the seller. If they are any good at all their job is to make the seller as much money as possible. I would take bets that they wouldn't reduce the commission at all and keep the extra profit for the brokerage house...

    Real estate Question?

    Get a buyer's agent or lawyer, depending on how real estate goes in your state. Here in California we use agents since everything is done through escrow. If this is your first house do not do this without one of the above unless you have a lot of time to learn about real estate transactions...

    BAd dealer list

    Funny, I actually had a good experience there, but I went in with a Costco set price for the car. Only problem we had was the finance guy who kept trying to add underbody coatings and extended warrenties. He just didn't want understand the word no when we explained that since we drive the car...

    Pull the switch out at the lower back corner of the door and remove the wire from it, then tape it off and you have a temporary fix until you get a replacement switch.
