here's the thing, the big corporations NEED American life the way it is, so they are the ones fighting to keep us buying, keep us working and keeping our heads down.

Sure they control everything, but they like how it is, and they have the billions of dollars to keep it that way. So you will continue to enjoy the high life for a long time, until there is no more earth left to rape or we figure out how to recycle everything at a cellular level.

You think the super rich want North American to fail? hell no, they can't afford it.

I know ukm didn't want to be bias and push you into one or the other but I will. :)

Unless this friend is providing you with other girls to hook up with, you can always get another friend.

If you don't go for it, then think about when she get's a solid boyfriend you're stuck pining over her daily watching this guy smooch and paw at her right in front of you. You won't want to be around what that starts and it's only a matter of time before she gets hooked up with someone else.

oh, and you NEED to be confident. Not egotistical, just confident. It's funny how illogical girls can be yet they can smell fear and desperation a mile away...

ok here's the issue, she may think in her head that the guy doing this is some dude she's either had her eye on or some guy who's recently hit on her. So she may build all this up for someone else and then be a bit disappointed when her good friend ends up being the one. I'm not saying she doesn't want a relationship, but you may cause her to start crushing hard on some other dude.

I would suggest sending her flowers at work with your name on them and ask her to think of a place she'd like to go out to eat for dinner or if she'd like you to decide. This will get her thinking, ok is this a date? And that's your opener, she has to reply because you asked her to pick a place or tell you to pick one. Talking to her the first time after breaking this news is always going to be awkward, no matter how you set it up. Unless you have her running to the end of a pier after you sailing away on a boat, it's not going to happen easily.

So then you just gotta tell her straight up when you talk to her in the follow up call. Tell her you want to ask her on a date because you think she's the best girl you know, ever known even. Be cheesy, it goes FAR.

Now, I would never go through all this for a girl, I would just flirt with her straight up and tell her I think she's the beeznees.

And if it doesn't work out, trust me, there's a zillion soul mates out there for you.

good guys, get them what they need!

Not my shitty cars so I was being nice to the neighbors :)

And you're welcome to come by for a BBQ anytime, just never bend down or kneel below the 3 foot level or you will be attacked by my spawn. They see this as a sign of weakness and pounce!

Thanks, I do take that role seriously.

Agreed, this is my old setup, currently building one for my 1200's and new CD decks.

If you're going to continue to play sports that will take you out of action then it's going to be hard to find a team to stick with for a long time. Sorry but it's tough trying to mesh with someone then have them leave, mesh with someone new, then they come back again. :/

Losing just makes me try harder, so I've tried REALLY hard A LOT.

Maybe remove your esea client and anything in your reg pertaining to it. Then to trace route tests to the server and save them. Then install the client and try again, this time redo the trace tests and see if you notice any specific hop jump up more then any others. So:

34 36 33
35 34 37
* 120 119 <- sudden jump or * hitting this specific router/host

And if it's on the last hop, the ESEA server, then it's something wrong with the server or client. If the jump is way before or somewhere in chicago land (hopefully you're only a few hops away and not routing through the west coast somehow) then you can bring these results up to your ISP and they can investigate a bad hop for you if you complain enough.

What is odd, as you noted, is that you say it's also on TX servers. This is why I wanted you to reinstall the client first, maybe it's a simple application issue.

Also turn off your virus scan software when you play with the client running.

you may need glasses or are becoming diabetic.

What's a good 10-keyless these days? Mechanical?

How do you get the outline? Do you have a screen shot of it? I will sometimes use color blind mode to make it bigger but it doesn't look clean.
