Reply to Wal-Mart Messed Up My Pictures in Misc JoeUser Forums

When we went to The Picture People they had 8 shots all lined up, printed in 8x10 form for us to look at. So when we chose, we just took the one we wanted. And, all the poses are available online for my relatives to order. Or, I can order a tie with his picture on it! They did pricing by the sheet, as well. I might check out Olan Mills, after I get my lucrative job. But that's for another article. It also hasn't happened yet. <img src=".

My wife tells me, "Don't you dare get him interested in those games!" I'd rather have him outside playing. Or playing catch with dad. Of course, that won't be for a while yet.

Reply to Down with debt in Politics JoeUser Forums

For businesses, debt sounds bad. But, it is usually has the cheapest cost of capital available(due to the tax writeoff). Also, mortgages for people lets you spread the cost of the house over a longer period of time. But, having 3 or 4 mortgages would probably be a bad thing. A horrendous amount of debt is bad. There is a balance, just like with everything else. Of course, government doesn't have a tax write off. So why the government fee

Reply to Game Example: Altarian Downfall in GalCiv Journals JoeUser Forums

I forgot to read the entire title. I got as far as "Game Example" and then went right into the meat of it. The entire time I was thinking, "How the heck is he going to get out of this situation?" Made for a great suspense filled read with a twist ending. I will buy this game. Or, I will as soon as I can afford it. I got $100 for Christmas and I only spent $30 of it, but it seems it's disappeared for food or heat or something.

Reply to Wal-Mart Messed Up My Pictures in Misc JoeUser Forums

Cheap = !quality. The pose they messed up was the one with the package we got with the coupon. $3.88 for all those photos. Of course my wife needed to drop another $50 on the second package. Arrrgh. No more business there from us. We're going to Penney's or Sears. The Picture People do really good work but they're so expensive. We got a free 8 x 10 on a coupon and man, they had 8 excellent pictures of him for us to choose from. Made us WANT to

Publish the book, and sell GalCiv 3 with an audiotape of the beginning of the story, like Douglas Adams and Starship Titanic.

Reply to Wal-Mart Messed Up My Pictures in Misc JoeUser Forums

For some reason my wife thinks we need professional pictures, not ones we take. I think she's right. There's a definite difference in the quality of the photos when it's in a studio as opposed to not. It looks like the pictures I had of me on the wall at home as a child. That's probably why I like them better from a studio. Thanks for the advice, and I'll see how it works out with the DM. I really don't know much about complaining. <img src="../i

I love Harvest Moon. I don't know why it has such an ability to draw me in. I just love the idea of running a farm. I want to plant crops and grow food and own animals. I want stable prices for my produce. I want cows that eat one square of grass per day. The stability of it all is just wonderful. At the same time, I'm just sitting there, ge

What a lovely thread! Whenever my wife and I leave each other's presence or hang up the phone, the last thing we say is 'I love you' instead of 'bye'.

My wife got a big gift she wasn't expecting... a rose. Sadly, the bar set for me is that low. As soon as I get a real job, then I'll do something crazy.

Wal-Mart Messed Up My Pictures in Misc JoeUser Forums

My wife went to Wal-Mart for our son's 3 month pictures. These pictures are very important to her, and when I saw how cute he looked, to me too. Well, we bought two packages. One came out great, just fine, but the other had a thumb print on it. A thumb print on the entire package, so every photo was ruined. The print did not show up on the computer screen when sh

I think that allowing for multiple wives is a bad idea for public policy. If you have 2 wives, and you die, who gets the property? The first wife, or the second wife? What if I married them on the same day? Are the wives considered to be married to each other?

Isn't it the salvaging that makes the day special? If it wasn't Valentines, would you have salvaged the day? Who knows! All in all, you've both done better than what I have done for my wife so far which is... er, nothing. Oh well, maybe I will have some time after class?

If that ain't love, I don't know what is. Just remember... if you think you're going too fast, you can revise your limit schedule. Even if you jump up in the stakes, if you mess up you'll just tumble right back down and be where you belong again. So I don't think you can move too fast...

I just can't believe it. Isn't that what auditors are for? Anyway, how do we privatize education and still have everyone educated? You want to privatize CPS, but who is going to pay them? I just don't get your ideas sometimes. I wish I knew how you see it being implemented so I could say, 'wow, what a visionary!' but I can't yet.

Yeah, I don't think it would be for me. I don't know anything about sales. I'm not a workaholic. Currently, I'm looking high, because when I graduate I want to get a real accounting job. I'm also looking at the government. They like accountants in the DCAA and the IRS, I've heard.

I've never tried to convert anyone. I suppose that's kind of sad because it's what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, but I just can't. I don't have the experience to argue with you about it. All I can tell you is that I know it's true, and that Jesus has changed my life in ways I thought would never change. You can't get to heaven without Jesus. It's impossible. Even if you believe otherwise. There is a God who loves you and want to be your

I am graduating from college in about... oh, 2 weeks. I do not have a job. I am an accounting major, and I really need a job to support my wife and son.
