  1. I like the site. It looks like it was put together pretty well. The one thing I think needs some work on is the products page. I click on producst and alls I see is just the same links as on the left side? Whats the deal with that. I definetely think there should be pictures on this page and even featured items or ON SALE items. You can make a seperate link for just ON SALE items if you have any sales. Also even NEW items that you just recently added might be a nice touch. Have you made any sales from your website yet? How are you promoting it? Well good luck on it. Looks pretty good and of course we all know its spelled simple, but it was probably taken which is why you with with symple or you may have another reason for the change, but I dont think thats a draw back. That actually gives is it different touch. Have fun.
  2. What other sites have you made money on? Please explain further like exactly what you do to make money , what site do you go to, what tools do you use and how much do you really make doing it. Also how much time do you put into it. I mean is it really worth it from the time per cash? Is it like 1 dollar an hour because that would really really suck and probably a big waiste of time. Well let me know more details because I'm intererested to know more about this. Thanks so much
  3. Question is does an autosurf thing really work? I know he was saying that yea you can make 1000 per month if you choose the correct payer, but he didn't mention who. Well, if your gonna make a statement like that, you have to say who your using and if your making a 1000 a month. The question is .. are you using an autosurf progam and if so, what and with who are you using it with. WHO PAYS YOU. Anyway, i really don't know much about this subject, but I don't think it really works.
  4. You guys are talking about shaving huh. Just like some of you, I also hate shaving and it kinda shows since I don't shave until like 4 - 5 days later and I have a pretty nice scruff going. The problem is, is I wait too long to shave then it starts to itch and I get like a little rash going. The razor I use is mach 3. You know I don't even like it that much. I used to use the gilette sensor with two blades and worked so much better. this one seems to get dull much quicker or just doesnt cut as good. Maybe I should get the latest one which is fusion and has five blades. That might cut a lot better then this one. My brother, on the other hand, thinks mach 3 is sooo sooo much better then the gilette sensor. What do you guys think? Does anyone use the fusion razor? I really would like to know if that is really good or not. I'm not sure if this is what the he meant originally with what shave do you use for your mustache. It did sound like he was asking what do you use to trim your beard or mustache. I think any trimmer would do the trick if that was the case. Well good luck on your shavings.
  5. Hey guys, I just finished creating a new website. It is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and no it is not porn. It is a car insurance website. I need feed back on how the pages look and what I could do to improve the look and feel of it. Also, I have added google ads to the pages. Please check to see if that put in a good place or should be moved around and hopefully those links work. Again the website is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ [No its not porn] Thanks so much
  6. Sounds really cool to get yourself a 27" lcd screen, but I went one step bigger. I got a projector that displays a screen as wide as 8 feet. Now talk about big... That is soo huge. I also got a wireless keyboard and mouse to go with it so that I can be sitting on either couch and don't have these short wires or any wires to bother you. You thought your icons were big. These icons ore are as big as my hand.. maybe bigger.. don't even know if I even tried to size it up. It is soo cool to play games with.. well good luck with that monitor.
  7. Yea I agree, Trillion is much better, plus I think there is a bunch more people on it then the msn. I'm surprised you haven't added yahoo messenger into the mix. Well, truthfully I haven't played with them all in too much detail to tell you which one IS the best, but like I said earlier I think trillion has a lot more users then the others.
  8. Those are some very good points on what not to say on a first date. As for me, also a lot of internet dating experience, I also found out what is good to say on a first date which actually will keep them interested in you. What you do is ASK questions. Not too many questions after questions. You will need to at least throw in some for yourself or pause a little bit to see if they will ask you the same question back. The only problem with this, is sometimes I get the talkers. You ask a question, like so what do you like to do for fun. All of sudden, your sitting there listening to a half hour conversation about every thing she's done for fun and of course you can't interuppt that would be rude. All you can do is sit there and try to listen and nod your head or say uh huh. Little do they know, but this is the time when we start to think will this girl ever stop talking, does she even wanna get to know me at all or is it all about her. I don't think I really went on too many second dates with the talkers. I just can't seem to get past the "all about me" girls. Well, what's funny is that although you had a boring time sitting there listening, she was thinking oh we had such a good time and we didn't have a dull moment. Anyway, I guess here is a short list of things to ask just to get things started.- So where you originally from .. and that can lead to other questions like then where did you.- So what do you do school/work? - So what do you do for fun .. any hobbies?Well there are tons of things to say, but that can get the ball rolling and you take it from there. There should never really be a text book of what to say. You should just start by saying hi and just ask basic questions and it will stem from there and of course if she interested to know about you she will also ask questions.good luck
  9. How is this a chuck norris fact. Why didnt you just post is as a chuck norris joke. Really, did anyone even find this funny? Here are some chuck norris jokes Notice from jlhaslip: Should be in quote tags. And I'll edit some of the lines later. The content is a bit 'rich' for some of the members. (younger ones)
  10. wow.. to earn $500 a month and how many hours per day or per month are you actually working on filling out all the surverys... well if you think about it.. and you spend like 8 hrs per day.. 5 days a week which is a total of 175 per month for only 500 that is 500/175 = 2.80 per hour. hmmm.. what a waste of time... there are soo many other things you can do for more money than that. Well, this is definetely not the "get rich quick scheme" more like go out of your mind quick and then never get paid scheme. As far as I know.. there are only a FEW places that actually even pay. I had my wife even try doing this at one point.. she signed up for a lot of them which even claimed to be one that pays.. well never saw her earning a cent and with all the time she spent on that.. I said forget it.. i rather you just watch the kid and I'll give you 500 a month well good luck to you all tyring this out..
  11. hey, I just recalled that there was more to this story.. because of course this charade lasted like 3 months.. talking to this girl.. tyring to get her to meet .. but she did live 2 hrs away so it was pretty hard.. but I just remember some REALLY pathetic sick detail.. don't know why I didn't remember it before. Well anyway, in the midst of our conversation. she says she is going out.. so later on. I'm talking to supposedly her friend and shes like you know gabriella still hasn't come home yet and usually she's home by 12 midnight or else her dad will get really mad because he is very strict. So, i asked where did she go.. She says well she went swimming her laps, but comes straight home after her swim and she still not home yet. So I really started to get worried, because by this time i think i knew her for at least 2 months. so I stayed online and kept asking her friend if she got home yet. and she's like no.. and I say wow.. this is really scareing me.. I really hope the worst has not happenend. Like a car accident or something. Well, now she starts to set me up and says well there is something gabriella hasn't told you. I'm like WHATT??? shes says well there was this guy that knows her and likes her.. so he waits for her after her swim and tries to talk to her and one day hes like why dont you kiss me and shes like no. Then the next day.. he waits for her again.. and pushes her against the car and says.. i wont let you go until you kiss me.. and again she pushed him away but this time he pushed her down.. and that was last night.. so I dont know what could be happening now.. So now i'm really scared thinking that she might be getting raped and all. well it's still getting later and later.. and i still ask if she got home yet.. and still nothing.. FINALLY.. at like 3:30 am her friend says shes home and im like tell her to call me i want to talk to her.. so a few minutes later..i get a phone call and I start talking to gabriella and she tells me she had bad night.. but was very very quiet.. and i'm like are you ok.. can you tell me what happenend.. finally she goes into this story of how.. there was this guy there and he had a few friends.. and they grabbed her and put her in the car and drove her away... and then they pulled down her pants and had sex with her.. and how she was kicking and screaming.. so finally she got away and now she got home.. and im like are you gonna tell the cops??shes like i dont know.. im scared cause he said you better not tell the cops. Then she said that her brothers went down to his house with baseball bats.... i said im soo sorry and if there is anything you need be sure to tell me.. well i was on the phone until like 6am.. well.. just like in my previous story.. all this was made he friend.. was actually her under a different screen name.. UNREAL.. i was played with soooo bad.. this was one of the worst people i met online.. 3 months of my life was wasted and emotions torn.. thats what you call sick in the head
  12. Man I can go on and on with all these internet stories.. It's kinda fun now to remember back through all that crap I went through.. Well this one didn't last too long cause it all started strange from the get go. well I meet her online and exchange pictures. Of course she is the beautiful sexy girl. Well after an hour of talking she gives me her number (which is odd for a very pretty girl to just give out her number to just anyone) So i call her that night and we talk and talk and talk however the conversation starts taking a weird turn. She starts talking about all these drepressing stuff in her life. Well, one thing she said was that at her last birthday no one even remembered.. not even her parents and that they didnt care so she went up to her bedroom and have a little cupcake and put a candle on it and sung happy birthday to herself. I dont know what part of that if any is even true.. but that is pretty sick. anyway.. I wanted to start getting off the phone and shes like NO dont hang up yet.. so we keep talking and talking then at one point shes like I have a secret to tell you.. and im like what.. shes like you might get mad.. i'm like no..i wont get mad just tell me.. so she whispers.. "i love you" and im like what did you say? she says you didnt hear me.. i said no.. so she says it again "i love you" im like .... uh ok.. but I cant say it back because i hardly know you.. well shes like.. well thats not what i mean..i meant i love you like a friend.. thats all.. and im ok..well if thats the case.. i love you as a friend too. im thiking in my head. this girl is friggen wacked out.. So, of course im still curious if this girl is the voice behind that face.. which i really doubted.. so i tried to push for a date real soon.. and of course.. she cant seem to find a right time to meet.. so i knew it wasnt her and i just said.. just admit that .. its not your picture.. its ok.. i just want you to be true to me..if were going to be friends. shes kept saying that is me.. and im like saying.. its ok.. dont worry about what yout told me if anything is true.. just lets start clean and just tell me is that your pic.. if not.. just tell me what you look like.. FINALLY I think shes like well i really have brown hair.. and i said see that wasnt bad was it.. then i'm like well i really hate liars and you mislead me from day one.. so I dont think i can talk to you anymore hahahha. and that was the end of that.. yea yea.. i know.. i was pretty bad on that one.. but hey.. thats the only way i was gonna squeeze it out of her Notice from BuffaloHELP: Topic title and description must be specific.
  13. That's a pretty good money making scheme.. get some idiot to buy this product becaue somoen out there is always curious to buy the product to see if it works. Question is.. how many people do fall for it and buy the product? I mean do you really make a great profit on this?? Just wondering for my own thoughts.. I might want to try to come up with some money making scheme. That is a good one though. thanks
  14. Wow, so it doesn't even sound like adsene can make you that much money on just any regular website.. You have to have some kind of website that EVERYONE knows about or will go to on a daily basis and not only just one time but keep coming back. I would like to know how that guy is making 1000/day.. Now THATS nice. I wonder if can just sit back and watch it grow or does he actually have to do lots of work to keep the website updated for people to keep coming back. I guess that would mean quitting the day job... but i guess making 1000/day.. thats like being rich.. dont need a day job..
  15. Here is the most important question. Do you have a floppy in the drive???? There have been times I've seen no OS found or what have you , just because a floppy is in the drive. I think they should change that message to say cannot boot from boot disk A: or something like that.. cause that message is very scary.. But in your sense.. does seeem like a hard drive problem. Do you even hear the hard drive spinning up?
  16. I'm back with another story that I recall. Well again back in the day, when I first started using the internet to chat there was a thing called the resort. There was no AOL or AIM or yahoo messenger. It was just this thing that you would telnet into and just have a handle name. My original name was CuteguyNJ . Well of course with a name like that Lots of people wanted to get to know me. Well, I did start sending out pics.. but no one really had pictures back then except for snail mail. I winded up scanning on in and created a basic webpage that had a picture of me and a few pictures of my car (which i still have) back then was pretty new, it was a 1994 red pontiac firebird with t-top and stick.. it was hot.. if you wanna check it out.. I think i still have that old website up http://scarpulla.tripod.com/ Anyway. I'm from NJ and these people were from all over the world. .but this one phsyco was from boston. We talked and she sent a pic. I was ah.. not too bad.. but I was not willing to drive up to boston to see her, but she was willing to come fly down with her friend.. so I told my cousin sal we can go on a double date. So anyway right before she flies down she tells me that she couldn't cash her check or something so I can pay for the ticket and she will pay me when she gets down.. Already I was weary about that, but I'm a nice guy and can't seem to say no.. so I agreed. so we pick them up at the airport. and these two average girls come out.. well I wasn't that impressed.. I think her picture was better LOL. So, when she arrives, she gives me a card and says the money is inside, but dont open it until we leave. So i put in it my pocket and forget about it. So anyway we hang out , go to dinner and all.. oh by the way the ticket was only for the day.. I think they flew back out that night. The date was finally over and they of course wanted to hangout again some day. My cousin was like what do you get me into.. So, they leave and I remember about the card. I open the card and nope.. no cash but this whole letter saying how she was soo happy to meet me and that we had such a wonderful time. I'm like how would she know this when we didnt even meet yet, since she wrote the card BEFORE we met. So i asked her about it and shes like well i wrote two card one bad.. one good. Now that I think about it.. she was probably lying about that too. Well, turns out that this girl also liked about her age and was only 17 and claimed to be like 19.. and she started to call me everyday.. well I still wanted my money soo i didn't really let her off the hook to easily. Well I knew someone else in boston and we went to meet up at foxwood.. again another double date for me and cousin.. as we were at foxwoods in CT. I asked my cousin, hey maybe we should just drive up to boston cause i wanna get my money.. so we drive up and we do happen to find her well, she tries to go get the money inside but says her dad didnt have it.. so agin I leave empty handed but we did wind up hanging out again a little ,but i was soo disgusted. Finally we left and told her I wanted the money and told her to mail it to me. well eventually she did, but the phone calls did not stop.. so finally, i said listen.. do not call me anymore. hmm, you would think after someone tells you that.. they would get the picture.. no? NOPE.. not this girl.. she calls again saying hey since this is the last time we are going to talk .. cant you at least talk to me for a little bit...i'm like sure.. so we talk.. then im like well nice talking to you.. take good care.. bye.. was that the end?? NOPE.. she calls again..saying the same thing.. and im like I told you to stop calling.. bye.. doesnt end there.. I think I got a few more phone calls.. untill FINALLY it stopped.. You know whats funny... well on my website.. I updated to include my new AIM address well.. not sure if it was from my site or someing but one day like 3 years later.. i get a IM saying hey.. is this you? and told me she was the girl from boston.. i'm like your still trying to talk to me?? shes says.. fine.. bye.. and that was that.. onto the next one.. Notice from serverph 052006: edited topic title. fixed spelling.
  17. I also just started with adsense. Are you even making 100+ per month? The taxes thing could get hairy too. So the way it sounds from what all you said is that google doesn't send a tax statement at the end of the year. Does anything go to the IRS from google? Like is there some kind of record the IRS gets that you have been paid by google or is it like under the table money. I'm just also wondering about thosefacts, but maybe I don't have to worry to much since I hardly make any money on it. Well, the IRS is probably already monitoring this thread so they already know about me LOL so, I guess i'll be claiming my $50 bucks for the year on my taxes hahahahGood luck to you all
  18. Ok, you can do 1 of two things.1st thing. You need to go into your bios settings and first make sure boot from CD is first BEFORE boot from hard drive. You dont need to do a fdisk.. your not even past the part of it reading the CDROM. You dont even need a Hard drive to boot from the cdrom so fdisk will not buy you anything. So like I said first thing to do is make sure boot from CDROM is first.. and make sure you have the windows XP cd in before you turn on the computer. Then usually it will say press any key to boot from cd. If that fails and you still can't get it to boot from the cdrom at all , then you need to approach the second solutionSecond solution. Find yourself a bootable windows 98 SE floppy disk. You can even make a boot disk from a windows 98 machine. You can even possibly download on from the internet.Here are the steps: 1) Insert the windows 98 boot disk in the floppy drive 2) Insert the windows XP cd in the Cdrom drive 3) Boot the computer.. hopefully it will boot to floppy, if not the again you need to check your bios settings to set boot from floppy before boot from hard drive. 4) while you booting from floppy, select the option to boot with CDROM support 5) After boot up, it should tell you the drive letter of your new cdrom .. usually D: 6) type: cd d: 7) type: setup.exe or it might be in a lower directory.. can't quite remember off the top of my headThat should then boot from CDROM and tell it to format the disk drive after the cdroom boots.It should then install everything.. hopefully it will detect all the components on your computer.. if not, you will need to find the drivers for each component.. like video card, sound card, modem card, ethernet card, and any other thingsWell good luck
  19. Hey Sorrow, Wow thanks for that great analysis for my page. I didn't think anyone was going to take any time of their busy life to just look at my page and EVEN comment. Thanks soo much. Are you a webmater or do web designing yourself? Is their a website you have designed? I would love to take a look at it. too and see what you see. Well talk to you later
  20. Hi, I'm Sheila... and I have been trying to get my website about car insurance going. It's my only source of income .. so I need help making sure it looks good and all the links work. Also, if you have any ideas on what I can put on the website to make it look better or more appealing, please let me know. The only way I even make money on this thing is because of the ad links, but of course they would need to be clicked. But anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening XOXOXO Sheila Here is my website --> http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Notice from BuffaloHELP: Removed personal photo.
  21. Well, I'm also new to making money. I haven't yet exploded into making money, but I'm trying things out. I created my website with all kinds of adsense. These are ads that if you click it on it, you can get more usefull information and the person hosting the ad will get paid for their advertisement. Google is one that pays for adsense. Well, it's NOT the best thing in the world because of course you need TONS of people to actually click on your page AND click on your ads. Not to mention you can NEVER click on your own ads or you will be banned from google. So the only thing you can do is add your website online and hope people find your page AND do some clicking on some ads. Here is my little webpage I created: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Check it out tell me what you think :-) It also has some links to get to adsense if you needed to Thanks for listening - Joey
  22. Well, when I meant Xisto.com, I meant sometime the forums or even my own website http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ has been down. There has been a few times after writing a lenghty post and then finally clicking post it comes back with page not found. I click back and BANG all my information that I typed Disappeared. That really pissed me off. After spending that much time in writing a good post. Other times I seen it down was on my website that I created. For instance I was working with frontpage and I do a save and again it says page not found and I have to keep clicking retry until finally it finds it and saves the information. It is becoming painfull. Now I just hope that with new servers that it will finally be up with not that many down time or lag. Hey if your interested in checking out my website go right ahead :-) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Thanks for listening
  23. Has anyone noticed that Xisto.com seems to be down a lot or not enough bandwidth? I was just posting a long comment in anther section and clicked post.. well guess what it said host not found.. then i hit back and my WHOLE post was gone. Not even my credits went up. There have numerous times I tried to access Xisto and get host not found. Whats the deal with this place. You need to increase your bandwidth. This has become unreliable and I'm ready to start looking elsewhere unless the problem can be correctedAnyone else see the same problems?
  24. I also just heard about the new FIOS from verizon. Wow, sounds like a real good deal. They can finally compete with cable. I was talking to a verizon technician today and the told me that they are going to try to put video on it too. That means they will be battling it out for TV. Maybe prices can finally come down a little bit. My cable company is givng me such a beating in prices. Has anyone actually had the FIOS installed? I wonder if the speeds are what they say they are. Isnt that cool though a Fiber optical cable STRAIGHT TO a jack in your home. sooo soo cool and if u think about it 40 a month. .really isn't that bad to have the kind of technology and speed. Well eventually wireless should get faster and better that u dont need any wires to the house.. maybe u just get an activation and your on. no matter where you go.. even if you move one number , one IP tune in to the newest tehcnologies coming out.
  25. Well don't know about that 6 ft range. I think this is new bluetooth technology that allows LONGER rangers. Let me tell you, that these keyboard and mouse supposed to be pretty good in speed too. the laser mouse is said to have high precision and speed that it will be gaming capability. I havent really tried it on games just yet, but I still havent seen any lag on it either. As far as a gaming keyboard. At work, we ordered these two belkin nostromo N52 gamepads. Now these things are pretty interesting. It is used with for your left hand and has like 12 keys on it but all kinds of button and shift buttons and even a little gamepad for your thumb. Total functions come out to like 101 functions. This is very cool when you want to play with like 3d shooter games.. use yourmouse to look around and shoot and your left hand will be to jump crouch change weapons and the click of a button. It might be something your looking for.
