  1. I think it depends on the status of the relationship. If you are married, then that is a tough one. Because you are bound by everything that comes with becoming married, you're not left with many easy options. But if you are not married, I would think there is a certain way you could act that would make the partner who cheated feel very bad about himself/herself. Never yell or degrade the person who cheated. Also, don't act devastated or depressed or ruined. That just makes you look weak. No, what I would do is this. Sit down and talk with the person who cheated. Tell them you are disappointed and that it is unacceptable. Be very respectful and mature about it. Say that you love your partner but after learning about the cheating you need some time to see if you will be able to forgive them. Then I would break away for awhile and get some space, all the while remaining composed and mature about it. The goal is to make yourself look like the better person in the situation, and being angry, depressed, and degrading only makes you look pathetic in the long run and to a certain extent, it will indirectly JUSTIFY your partner cheating on you! In the end, you want to make the person who cheated on you look like an idiot for doing it. Remaining a nice, mature person will only make you look good and make the person who cheated on you look bad. Always keep your head up and know that you deserve to be treated better, and if the person who cheated on you isn't able to feel the remorse and regret for doing something so terrible, then you should move on!
  2. I guess it is all a matter of who you are and what you want to do with your life.Are you better on your own? Do you not want to have to make sacrifices, things you would have to consider with someone else in the picture.For me, it was all about timing. Growing up, I didn't want to have a relationship, even though I kinda did, I went all through high school and mostly through college without a significant other. Then I met my current girlfriend. We have been dating for over two years, and it's been great. So in summation I can tell you that I've been on both sides of the story. And I can tell you, from my opinion, that life is much better having someone to love, hold, and embrace. When you find the right one, you'll never have this thought again, and if you do, then it's not.
  3. I have a Pontiac G6.Now I know they stopped production on them, but that shouldn't make you run away, you actually might want to consider it.It has a sporty look, gets descent mileage, and has everything you need in terms of power and specs. You mention the Malibu and that is pretty much the G6's "sister" car. I love this car. It has great power, good visual appeal, and didn't cost me an arm and a leg to buy one. If you can get a good deal on one, it is the best price for product you can find hands down!I also looked at Cobalts. Now unless you get a more equipped model, you really aren't getting a whole lot in terms of price for product. Sure they are sporty, but they really aren't cheap, especially for what you get.I also looked at the Eclipse. Now that is one sporty car! If you got that one, people would definitely look over their shouldiers time and time again. The only problem is the interior room. Unless you, your family, and your friends, are all very short, you will not feel comfortable in this car. The seats are uncomfortable and the blind spots are everywhere. I would hate to back this car out of a driveway onto a busy road, you simply can't see very much.I also looked at the Hyundae Tiburon. Very sporty, very comfortable up front (not in the rear), and tha handling on this car is great, but it is a bit heavy for its size. An overall descent car that I seriously thought about purchasing.So there is my advice. Look for a car that is best for you. Above all else, test drive a lot of them! When you test drive the right one, you'll know it. I went to countless dealerships and test drove a handful of different cars until I found the car that was right for me. Do the same and you will find the right car for you!
  4. I bought my computer less than 2 years ago and most of the games I want to play my computer doesn't have the specs for. I didn't intentially buy a computer just for gaming (I wasn't a gamer back then), but I figured $1,000 computer should have been quality enough to play newly released games only a one year of age. Man was I wrong. I play America's Army, and their new version that was recently released is too much for my computer to handle!...and my computer isn't even 2 years old yet! Now I'm stuck playing the older outdated version until I can get a new computer. The above post is descent enough, but if your specs clearly don't meet the minimum requirements for whatever game you are trying to play, then I guess you might be out of luck. Then again, I'm no expert on the subject but I just thought I'd share some of my beefs.
  5. Since the new year I haven't been on the computer as much as I used do. Heck, I probably spent close to 6 hours a day last year on the computer playing America's Army and just surfing or watching videos on the web. I seriously cut down on that so far this year, but I occasionally slip up.I like to exercise only through sports, I'm not much of a guy who goes to the gym to work out and lift weights. I play hockey as much as I can but I also play a lot of other sports such as tennis and golf. I'm terrible at basketball, football, and soccer, but when there's a pick up game I'll give it my best shot.
  6. Genetics suck man, trust me...I'm not the smallest guy but I'm not the tallest either at 5'8. Most of my friends have atleast 3 or 4 inches on me, so I guess I look like the "little person" of the group. Whatever happens happens, and you just have to learn how to accept and appreciate your body. Just don't take things for granted, there are thousands if not millions of people who are even shorter than you are!One thing my doctor always said when I was growing up was to not start weight training unitl I was around 18 years old, since mass muscle could hinder and prevent bone growth. The only problem is, I never weight trained anyway so I guess it didn't apply to me. If your girlfriend can't accept you for who you are then she needs to get the boot. You are young anyway so I'm not sure the seriousness of your relationship is, regardless, that probably is insignificant...
  7. I don't know how old the System Security Virus is, but that's the one that sticks out in my mind because simply it was the hardest thing I have ever tried to get rid of off my computer. I mean, this thing would not go away. I had to configure my computer to start up in safe mode, download avira off another computer and load it onto mine, run everything, delete the virus, then start back up in normal mode, this after spending several frustrating hours finding this potential solution. Everything seemed to work fine until 3 days later it was back. I guess avira hadn't done the full job! So then I had to download a program that I don't remember anymore, but it warned me several times the dangers of not running the prgram correctly, saying it was an industrial program or something. Anyway that program ended up getting rid of System Security Virus once and for all, and after a week I deleted the program used to get rid of the virus. I still use avira and believe it is one of the best virus protection programs available for free. With all of my ranting, I still have one question. How old is the System Security Virus? It struck me in 2009, and I hope its the last year I see it.
  8. I have tried for months to get Adsense to approve my application but they have not done anything yet. Seriously, I applied to the all the way back in September. At this point I dont know if I should reapply or just stop worrying about it. The site and blog I have get basically no traffic as it is, besides, I barely have the time to update and maintain them.
  9. Actually most of my experience is only with HTML and PHP. I do like PHP as it was simple to understand learning how to code for us "amateurs". I tried learning other codes, but maybe I needed to study a bit harder because other codes just never caught on. I will say though, that PHP was mighty simple and I give credit to alot of the oldies on Trap for helping me get used to PHP back in the day. If I ever did put together another complicated website like I did in the past, I would probably have to start in HTML and then work my way back into PHP, its been too long...
  10. The shootout was added by the league because of the dispute of the tie. Listen, I know soccer ends in a tie all the time, but in the USA people have a voice that league executives actually listen to sometimes. People were tired of paying top dollar to see a hockey game only to leave the arena without a definitive winner. The minor leagues, specifically the ECHL, had implemented the shootout years prior to the NHL adding it to their league. The only difference being the ECHL ended it's ties with a 5 round shootout, whereas the NHL only uses a 3 round shootout, with both leagues obviously playing a 5 minute overtime before the shootout.People have had mixed reveiws about the shooutout, and it remains a controversial and talked about topic even today. Some people would love to revert simply to an overtime with no shootout, while others enjoy the star-packed finish to a tied up game.So what's my opinion?...I love the shootout. Growing up going to ECHL games, I've watched the shootout years before it came to the NHL. It's awesome. The nerves get to you, and the adrenaline pumps. It is simply the most exciting part of the game, barring a penalty shot. Its superstar one on one with the goaltender, its like watching 6 breakaways back to back to back! I will always support the shootout and I'm extremely hopeful that the dumb Gary Bettman never takes it away.
  11. The things people do for money...I've never been fortunate enough to win much of anything significant, but then again I haven't put myself in the position to win either. Ironically, that in and of itself helps in the prevention of becoming involved in a scam.Make sense?
  12. I prefer an ice cold beer over a cola any day...to sweet for me.I've heard of people who drink a little too much soda than they should, and not only are they getting a caffeine overdose, but it's quite unhealthy - those excessive calories will help grow that stomach.
  13. Thank you! Nice to see you're a week old and already about 50 posts! With the myCENT structure, you're on your way baby!Thanks for all of the warm greetings, hope to hear more
  14. If you are promoting yourself or someone else it would be wise to present yourself with grammatically correct English. From reading this post, I already know it's probably some sort of scam and ultimately something I'd rather not be a part of.Worded correctly, I might think otherwise.In any event, I've been looking to begin designing a website once more, and hopefully, I come up with something that just might be profitable to do.
  15. I went to IUP in Pennsylvania and spent roungly $3,500 a semester on tuitiion. I went for 5 years, so by using my superman math skills that comes to around $35,000 for my education.Adding apartments and food expenses, add an extra $4,000 a year, so that's $20,000.All in all, I spent around $55,000 to get my degree, and I still have to go back to get my masters. Who knows how much that'll be.But in comparison to me, I'm sure there's a lot of American students out there who have spent way much more than I have. My college is relatively cheap compared to other schools in the state.
  16. Is anyone here a big fan of hockey. Well, I am for sure, and this years' playoffs are exciting as ever. I am watching more playoff games than I ever have in previous seasons, and this year is no disappointment.My favorite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins, not because they're really good, but because I'm from the area . The Pittsburgh/Washington series is a thriller. The other series to watch is Anaheim/Detroit. The Stanley Cup Champs from a year ago are getting their biggest test in a long time, and I hope Anaheim can pull it off.Before the season started, I predicted Anaheim and Pittsburgh in the finals this year. The way things are going now, I just might have a chance at that happening. If it does, I hope my Stanely Cup Winner predictions doesn't come true, because I picked Anaheim to beat Pittsburgh. Now I definitely don't want that to happen!If any of you are hockey fans out there, let me hear your voice, and root for your team.True hockey fans are the most passionate sports fans in the world, yes even more dedicated than futbol fans. I hope there's a few hockey fans in the community around here
  17. Welcome to the forums.I, myself am 24 years of age, live with my girlfriend, and have a cat as well! (Her name is Lilly)There's some similar characteristics for you to enjoy :PBe sure to read the forum guidelines thoroughly, get to know the great community, and enjoy your stay at Trap.
  18. Thanks, I see you joined 6 months ago, how much time did you take off to make it seem like a "long time" haha. Anyway, nice to see some faces welcoming me back, hope to hear more!
  19. A budding talent?...wow, insane :PI don't have the time or the thought, it might be awhile until this ol' fart gets going again.Side note - your wording is quite sophisticated, and I am utterly impressed. I ocassionally embrace a tedious, organized response that provokes me to resonate words of glory like I currently am doing.
  20. This is probably the last poem i wrote, which was a long time ago.Nothing new to contribute, but I like the ideas.
  21. Breathing fire is a dead giveaway that this possibly is most likely not possible. Just like unicorns aren't real, I would say dragons aren't real as well. If, in fact, dragons were around at one point, I hope scientists discover the gene that gave them their hot breath. I would love to exhale fury on my girlfriend.
  22. Buffalo - nope, the poker place shut down because of a state wide effort to shut down poker events due to laws and such...I've been out of poker for a while now, although I still participate in the occasional game here and there. That's why the website caved, I was funded by the organizer of the firehall events, and after they stopped, well the money stopped coming, as well as the cause for running the site. I'll have to fix the sig by the way. And Age II was phenominal, we probably caused the destruction of the site because our competition were the main players and we totally crushed them. It was great. I'm back in AS on a couple sites, and hope to develop enough rapport with them to the point of being able to admin again and get involved in some coding.JL - I've been doing good, and good to see your still around, always nice to come back after a while away and still see some familiar faces. I graduated college and currently looking for a teaching job, but with the economy the way it is I feel that I'll be stuck where I am for a bit until things recover - schools are struggling to find the money to pay for new teachers, and are obligated due to their financial struggles to place administration back into the classroom to fill in any open positions. I did notice the changes to the site, and I like the setup of the mycent structure. This gives more incentives to members than ever before, a great idea, and great implementation. It seems that the site hasn't missed a beat from when I was most active here so long ago.
  23. Driving with no brakes...does this mean no emergency brakes?...Without any brakes to speak of whatsoever, I would make sure my car was the only damaged piece of property.Making sure I crash on the passenger side, to atlease preserve my life, I would try to angle my car to the side of forward motion, causing friction on the tires and thus slowing it down as much as humanly possible. It's something that rarely happens, and surely no one would want to be put in the situation. My initial thoughts are put together with a lack of thought - thinking, though, is what you can't do if you were surprisingly put into this situation.Good luck to those who are unfortunate regarding this topic.
  24. Almost 4 years and this never got a reply... depressing, and now I recognize how bad my poetry was.
  25. I would like to kindly introduce myself to everyone in the forums.I am a Trap veteran, one who's been around longer than most. My time here has been limited over the years, but now I think I'm about to make a return .If you don't know me, say hello. If you do remember me, delight me with a 'welcome back'.It'll be good to be back on, and potentially provide an asset to the forums.
