Everquest 2 in Gaming JoeUser Forums

So, I got a "come back and try us for free" invitation for this game. I had it way back about a year or two ago....forget exactly.....but anyways....I have resubscribed here and there, but never really gave it the time of day past the first month when I bought it originally (I think the problem I always had was.....never could settle on what I wanted to play as....too many choices!!) Anyways....after a few days of debating, I have settled on an Iksar Shadowknight. For those of you who d

Reply to Titan Quest Review in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I just recently purchased Titan Quest....and I am ABSOLUTELY loving it. I am only to Athens (I went through from the little town right before the Cyclops through to Athens twice, though....to finish up a loose end), but the game is incredible. Actually, the 2nd time going to Athens (with the same character) was interesting, as I had about 3 or 4 named Heroes that were not there before...and I ended up getting about 5-7 rare (green) and epic (blue) items...along with several re

Reply to Check Out The Best Ad This Season So Far in Current Events JoeUser Forums

"Finally, as far as best ad, I give it high marks for 'gotcha' value, but low marks for honesty. But hey what do you expect? It's a political ad." That is somewhat the point I was trying to make (probably in a vague way, though....). As far as Conners and his political siding goes....just because your family is republican doesn't make you republican....my entire family is staunchly democrat...that doesn't mean I am democrat....far from it. But when you post this: "bu

Reply to Check Out The Best Ad This Season So Far in Current Events JoeUser Forums

what is there really to say? It is an ad that says a congressman didn't vote to send the proper armor....why are you inciting the "right" to a conflict? I thought the left didn't do those things? But really......the left is FAR from innocent in those types of things too..... But....I am still not sure as to why you think the right should defend (for which you would make it personal and attack) or not defend (for which you are still making it personal, and are attacking).

the problems we are having, I don't think, are just having kids....we both make enough "together" to care for our kids....they have a nice home, they have good clothes, they have heat, food, water....we have vehicles to take them where they need to go....we have what we need....and what we want to an extent.... the problems we are having are from the temporary immediate situation of her not being able to work right now. Once she is back to work, we will be fine....it is just RIGHT NOW,

Well.... 1. This was not really planned....we are happy to have the new baby (gonna be a girl this time)....but, not really planned. 2. 9 months ago, we did not know that we would not get *some* assistance.... 3. 9 months ago, we thought my wife would get disability, but that changed about a month ago 4. even if we knew back then that the state would not assist us, we would still have the child.

Oh, one more thing....our caseworker, instead of agreeing that the system is flawed, shifted pretty much all the blame over onto McDonalds.....I thought that was interesting.... Well, it is McDonalds fault (I agree to an extent, they are not giving her disability, but it is not their fault that the state will not help us). It is also Bush's fault (according to the caseworker)...."As long as there is a republican administration, there will be more cuts" is what she told us yesterday....i

That 1,000 dollars a month is after taxes...and it is anywhere between 500-550 (sometimes a little more). I work at my Walmart....I am (thinking) that I am within a year of getting into management (which would take me to salary, and that would be 40k a year). My wife works at McDonalds, been there for about almost 5 years...she is a manager (but not a manager long enough, along with needing to go to a couple 3-day classes out of state, that we cannot afford for her to go to to get disability). <

well....with 2k a month, we CAN make it, and we do pretty good for ourselves....BUT, saying that....I am trying to get a better job. I have been trying to get into management, and I am on the "verge" of making it....just a matter of time, really. And management starts at about 40k a year. The problem I am having with "the system", is that we really do try. We both work...40 (sometimes more) hours a week. I pay my taxes....so why isn't "the system" there to help me when I need it?

Ok...here is the situation.... My wife cannot work anymore due to getting ready to have our baby at anytime.... There goes HALF of our 2000 dollars a month income. While she is working, we do not get, nor do we need, any help (cash assistance or food). We make our way, and do what we can, and we come out ok.... But, there is going to be 2 months without her income...just mine.....and I barely break 1,000 dollars a month. She goes to FIA, and puts in the paper

I really don't like them, just like I really don't like them over on Wincustomize. My biggest gripe is I can no longer see the 5-6 most recently commented on articles. You have to head to each section now. Much more time consuming, much less user friendly. Especially when there are a ridiculous number of sub forums like there are here.

Charles: I know....but why not go with what WAS working...until that stopped working? Instead, the doctor (who works for VA) decided that that chemo didn't work, disregarding that the man had outlived his 6 months by 3+ years.... Maybe him working for VA doesn't lay the blame at his feet, but rather, the government (or whoever it is that runs VA)....whatever the case, soemthing isn't right here, I think

Something interesting, but tragic at the same time, has been happening to a guy that I used to work with. He was diagnosed with cancer, and they told him that the he didn't have 6 months to live. That was 3 yrs ago....they put him on some type of chemo, and he was actually gaining weight, the cancer was going into remission...and he was doing and looking VERY good (he was an older guy, probably in his 60s). One day, he goes to the do
