I can't describe how much i love riding my bike. It saves gas, it's just so pleasant. I really need a basket though.
Does anyone know how to install a speedometer on a 96 Acura Integra? I'm driving around guessing what my speed is.
ha you and me both, my speedometer hasn't been right since i put my lift on. 3 years now. I just kind of keep speed with other cars.
Yeah that's what I've been doing too, but it's still playing with fire.
yeah i have been pulled over a couple times. It's bad when i am the only car on the road though cause i have no idea. I think my speedometer is off by like 15 miles, so i kinda keep that in mind.
Sometime's the cable in the back of the meter pulls out of the knuckle, could be a quick fix
KAMILA this ones for you!

so, i get to go to court tomorrow and fight a case of non-payment for my company tomorrow! it's only $700 if i win, but i'm kinda excited about it!
What should I pick..
an Old School 1989 Limo
or a 1970s 4001 Rickenbacker Bass Guitar..
leaning towards the limo
is this for the laptop you are trading?
yes. i'm leaning towards the limo.. .it sounds more fun.
however the guitar is more financially responsible
GO FOR THE LIMO!!!!
Limo why is it even a question! ha
limo limo limo
anybody on here ever do any online investing/trading?
Have you been watching some infomercials? :-)
infomercials? no, just trying to save money. I opened an ING account and they have CDs that make 5+% interest... just looking at what options are out there
Matt,
Call Luca, he made $800 in one day by doing that on-line trading... he may be able to assist you...
Welcome to the ING family! =)
I have been with them for a couple years and love it. I create accounts all the time, including term deposits I have 8 accounts. LOL
I was thinking you wanted to be like a day trader. (not there is TOO much wrong with that haha )
WOW, you guys get some awesome rates!! 5% is unheard of north of the 49th in a CDIC guaranteed account (CDIC same as your FDIC).

Some links... YMMV, I have worked with some brothers who thought they, knew what they were doing, it didn't turn out well for them. 50K down the tubes. OUCH!
how do you withdraw/transfer money from your ING account?
I just kept my original chequing account. Didn't need to change direct deposits and didn't need new cheques, it was easy for me.
so i should be able to just transfer funds back to my original checking account right?
Correctomundo!
The initial cheque that you sent them creates a link between the two accounts. Then all you do is transfer back and forth.
LOL I must look retarded with my Canadian spelling.
Get used to it I ain't changin. :-p
yes you do.
lol, sorry i meant "chequing" account
No worries, I got it, i am bilingual.
:D
i have recently started using Emigrant Direct. 5.00% savings account, (going up to 5.15% next month), and 5.35% CDs. VERY happy with them so far.
I also have some mutual funds that I put money into every month, but they pretty much increase like -5.00% haha
Diversify your bonds son!
i have a 401k, which is diversified, a bit. still high risk, since i'm young.
but my mutual funds pretty much stink.
hmm after seeing that emigrant account, i'm questioning opening the ING account. 5% interest is pretty sweet
Ah...You kidless young men...What's a savings account? LOL!
Not that it means anything.. but
What a cute bank... emigrant 14billion in assets, LOL
ING 1.44Trillion
i just registered an emigrant account. I'm going to keep both open I think...
Here is another one for you Matt, this one is 5.05% HSBC Direct
I have a 401K that i manage online through ameriprise. its pretty easy, i normally bounce things off my dad first (he is a financial advisor) so that helps me out.
one thing i have noticed with investing in general, from friends experience: you are never as smart as you think you are.
TINSTAAFL

Everytime I try to reply to Todd's comment about 6 Flags it takes me to weather.com. So, Todd- I'm actually going on Monday! Tomorrow will be the better day, though, if its supposed to rain people won't go!
El Toro is amazing according to Sammy and Ben, they went while I was in Europe and said it was better then Nitro.
yeah, sorry about my comment. I left the end html tag off
oh, and my super cheap coupons expire on Sunday
fixed!
I went one time after it had rained. The park was empty. It was sweet indeed. We got to go on everything.
El Toro is SO awesome looking! It might be better than Ghost Rider, GG! I'm getting giddy thinking about it.
That looks sweet!!! Too bad I have plans.. LOL
that IS funny lol
ohhh yeah

Who wants to go to Six Flags: Great Adventure? Lemme 'splain.
So we need to work really hard on Thursday, so I took off tomorrow, so I can help on Thursday. And you know what I'm going to do with my free Wednesday? I'm going to Great Adventure!
The weather doesn't look entirely promising, but there's only a 30% chance of SCATTERED T-storms, see?
WHY TOMORROW!? Because! My dad hooked me up with six tix, for only $20.06 each. I need company, and I'd hate to let these go to waste. Who's in!?

Imagine a town where child rape is commonplace, kids do not go to school, most of the town is alcohol dependant, there are no police, life expectancy is 20 years less than the national average, gangs roam the streets, there is no GP, no jobs and no future.
This town is not in Angola, Zimbabwe or Russia. It is in Australia..

hiya fow!
hellloooo (in mrs. doubtfire voice)
ok so i'm a mets fan and all, but i was at the gym last night and i was REALLY enjoying the yankee game - i caught myself in the mirror with an extremely interested look on my face ...
i'm disgusted
The only way you can REALLY enjoy a yankee game is when they lose... since they didnt lose, how could you enjoy it??
Well, the only parts of the game that were enjoyable in a yankee win if you were watching it are:
1) Their $21,000,000 3rd baseman making 3 errors in the game
2) Their $21,000,000 3rd baseman getting taken out for a defense replacement because he made 3 errors in a game
3) Their $21,000,000 3rd baseman striking out with the bases loaded
If you are a true Mets fan, these should be the only times you could actually say you enjoyed watching the yankee game last night.
so much animosity. You need a woman my friend...
welcome to the darkside, dan. ::evil grin:: =D
HA, and people wonder why yankee fans are booing their own..now here's the next questions, why did Awod make it to the all star game??
Because the American League doesnt have a David Wright :)
I'll give you that..he's solid. but AL has so many better 3rd baseman then awod.
That's true... The AL could have choosen Joe Crede or Shea Hillebrand... Gayrod won because of his recognition, that's the only reason. I mean if NY fans are booing at him, why would they want him in the All Star game, he obvioulsy isnt good enough for their team..
I thought for sure that Crede was going to get it..Awod is just mediocre, and as much as they pay him, he should be the best. the allstar game is all who's more popular. for example, take Jim Thome and Travis Hafner. Both equally good, both awesome powerhouses..but who gets in the the all star game? Thome because he's more popular. Now you got me started, haha. whatever you don't get me started on how baseball needs salary caps. haha.
I forgot how fired up you get about baseball... this brings me back like 4 years ago when the Indians sent their all star 2nd Baseman (what was his name again) to the Mets and you werent to happy about that...
ROBBY ALOMAR!!!! hahahaha. Yeah i was just thinking about that.
As much of a gaylord I think A-Rod is, he did win the MVP last year, so obviously he's not mediocre. With runners in scoring position, yes, but all-around no one other than Pujols is better. And he has won a gold glove at 3rd. So that says alot too.
You have sense!
Stop arguing about his pay.
It's dumb.
You sign a contract due to the work you have already done.. and are predicted to continue doing (in alexs case for 10 years)
If those predictions fall through.. well BOO HOO.. they shouldn't have made such a long term contract.
He won the AL Mvp last year and made the allstar team this year.
Yankees are only .5 games behind Boston
WE Still ROCK.
Mets are garbage! AHHH yesss
Play in a real league.
Uh, I would take the team the Mets are fielding over the Yankees any day. The Yankees are headed for some dark years with their depleted farm system. I think even Steinbrenner won't spend much more on his team than what he has so far.
As for A-Rod, the contract he signed came from Texas. The Yankees are not paying the whole thing.
i'm a yankee fan and all, but i don't think A-Rod won the gold glove at third
He did 2 years ago.
I was talking about this year being mediocre, sorry should have verified that. I was just saying, when a team invests 26,000.00 in you, you need to be above average. Like Crede's salary with the White sox is 400,000. And his average is higher, and has the same HR and RBIs as Awod. Another example, David Wright. His average, HR, and RBIS are way better then Awod and his salary is only $322,000. But in the past, yes he was a solid player. he just doesn't have it this year.
Yeah but those guys are much younger and haven't reached the free agent years yet. You have to have a tour of duty making little before you make the bucks.
A-Rods overall numbers are great.
AVG- .282
HR- 20
RBI- 68
OBP- .388
He's on pace to hit 35-40 homers and well over 100 RBI's. That's not mediocre at all. Lets also remember he is the youngest player ever to hit as many HRs as he has. He'll have about 500 before the age of 32. A-Rod is just not built for NY. He can't hit in the clutch consistently.
True very true. But while those overall numbers are great, they aren't "good enough" for yankees. Lets just say, to be playing for the yankees he's mediocre. How's that?
That's ridiculous. He'll end up with better numbers than anyone else on the team. What does he have to hit 58HR and 160RBI to meet Yankee standards? That's a joke. Those numbers are almost impossible to acheive every year.
This is why the rest of baseball fans think Yankee fans are crack-heads.
since everyone is wondering...why do you call A-rod "awod". Are you elmer-fudding it?
BTW, have you watched Stella or more Arrested Development yet?
haha, because he's a wod.
ohhh, yes, i have arrested development on dvd, i watch it like every day.
Every other team in baseball would take a player like that. He's the best all-around player in the game. He's a better SS than the Yankee captain. He moved because he wanted to win. I give him credit for that. Yankee fans are just ridiculous and have ridiculous standards. I've watched David Wright botch a few balls in one game too. He's still a great player. Yankee fans need to check back in to reality.
wow, it's ok, didn't mean for you to get so worked up over this whole thing.
lol, yeah, chill, bro.
hey todd, did you see the arrested development when instead of army training, buster plays the crane game all day? and then he comes home and is like "these are my trophies from army. the gorilla is for sandracing and the seal is for marksmanship." HAHAHAHA.
LOL. Wait till you see how those things are worked in later! HILARIOUS. This show is amazing.
I just get sick of hearing Yankee fans say his stats aren't good enough for a Yankee. I hear it too much. Look at Scott Brosius during the Championship run. He never had great numbers, but he came up with big hits in the clutch. That's the only difference. He was never a great player. He just meshed well with the team they had at that time. If people want to say he doesn't mix well with this team, that I can understand. But...You can't say he's having a mediocre year because he really isn't.
i'm not even a yankees fan, i hate the yankees. so, i say he's having a mediocre year, who cares? just my opinion. i also think its ridiculous how yankees try to buy their championships, but who cares what i think? you don't have to get worked up over it. its ok, don't let it bother you.
yeah i don't the the animosity towards the other teams. I know its envy but i don't get it. I am a yankees fan but my second team has always been the mets. They are covered just as much and have a lot of good guys..
HI PATTY!!!
You must be flogged and beaten immediately!!!

is there a way to insert pdf pages into a powerpoint presentation?
doesn't help because I need to insert a 388 page pdf as an appendix to the presentation. thanks for trying!
What if you convert the pdf to a bitmap or some other graphic file?
that wouldn't paginate the files. i'm going to try to scan in through the xerox.
I heard the Mets got Dontrelle Willis from the Marlins for you baseball fans that care. The announcement is supposed to be made in an hour or so.
Where did you hear this information?
Someone I know is aquainted with a person from ESPN.
Did I miss this announcement? I didn't hear anything about it this morning
[Weep on]
What a horrible weekend. A cake disaster on friday night, followed by a far-too-hot bbq on saturday where said cake was praised, to no comfort to me. Also annoyed by parents-in-law. Productive Sunday morning followed by even more horrible experience with a 200 pound tv - my arms are killing me today. Went to Bombay Co. in local mall to order furniture - store was completely gone. I was there last week. Fought with dry cleaner who lost my pants. Had to fill out a 5-page form for the second time from my office manager who caught me making an online hotel reservation when I was supposed to be working. Headache. Only good thing: I submitted a bug report to my favorite mp3 site and they fixed the problem. That's all that's gone right.
why the 5 page form?
for our ira plan. It's annoying because the form had exactly the same information - exactly - it was just titled something different.
OHHH. ok. i thought since they caught you online they made you fill out some paperwork as to why you were online etc. Like a reprimanding. LOL
hahahaha - can you imagine? "Write 'I will not traverse the internet on company time' 500 times". Ahhh, that made me chuckle.
Are any of these two valuable?
mid 70's Rickenbacker 4001 bass guitar or a Ric 325 John Lennon Ric 6 string guitar
no. give them to me.
yeah, or me. I like basses.
yeah the bass is similar to what mccartney used to play
