I can understand from those point of views, honestly. But my problem is, say you have a bank robber who wants to work as a consultant. Who better to give a bank suggestions for their security then someone who breaks into banks? Now it may not always be a good idea either to put someone in that situation because they have the possibility go of going back to their old ways, but if someone truly wanted to do that, and they had the talent for it, and the character that says I've changed my ways, why should they not be given the chance? And what of those wrongly accused? I know someone, a friend who was accused of making inappropriate suggestions to a minor, I was even told what really happened, and how his word meant nothing in his defense. He was sent to jail for almost 5 years for doing NOTHING. And he now has his life threatened, his family's lives threatened because he's registered as a child sex offender. He didn't do anything to deserve it but all it took was someone saying he did it. And now his life is ruined, he struggles from day to day because any respectable business wont hire him. He runs his own business, but has lost clients because of his record. He's honest, and hard working but struggles to make ends meet. How many others are forced to suffer the same fate? Those who have done nothing, but could not prove their innocence. There are any number of felons who have committed crimes and paid the price, and would do it again in an instant. There are those who have learned and would never do it again, but they have no way to truly prove themselves except by accepting whatever menial job they can get and working hard knowing they will never get ahead. And there are those who are innocent of any number of crimes, and paid a debt they didn't owe. How can society treat these people the same as they treat the worthless lowlifes who have no respect for themselves. I know it can be difficult to distinguish between these people, but a first impression of someone should be made when you meet that person first, not when you read something about their past. Give someone a chance to state their case, and explain before you judge their character and write them off.

Then Enders Game is one I've never heard of, I will certainly look into those. lol I finally finished Wizards first Rule, and I'm on Stone of tears, which is pretty good, I'm about 350 pages into the book and I'm not happy with some of the events, But I hope things will improve soon. I've read Harry Potter up to book 5, I was very upset at book 5 and therefore never finished the series. But Sherlock Holmes is one I never thought to read, it could be interesting, Thank you.

Can we say typo? I missed it, excuse me, i was making it with one hand while holding a sleeping infant, it wasn't exactly easy to catch everything. Xalor, thanks for the tip, I'll play with it some more and see what I get. Edit: What do you think now? It's so much more... Me. lol

I could live with an 8.3... Anyway, Bani suggested something in red so how about this one? Better? worse? Same?

Sorry I took it a little personal. But yeah I know what you mean. A lot of my bad credit comes from medical bills. And another problem with the emergency room, half the time they get it wrong. I went in for a toothache that was so bad I couldn't see straight, they tried to treat me for a sore throat! I practically had to yell at the doctor to get him to listen to me. It was ridicules. ER doctors should be rotated into other departments regularly if you has me, so they don't get stuck in the routine of treating everyone the same. I wouldn't have suffered for two years if the doctors in the ER found the problem the first time I was in the ER with it, but they said I had an STD before they got any of the tests back, which technically was not physically possible as I was still a virgin at the time. But Doctors get into that routine where they see so many people we the same symptoms, it never occurs to them to be anything different.

I decided to actually make a signature for my trap account here, It's been awhile since I've done one. It's been awhile since I've made anything, much less anything completely from scratch. I almost always do some sort of manipulation of something else. But this, is completely from scratch. I started from a blank document, and I'm kinda proud of the way it turned out. However, I would love to get some opinions, some critiques if you have any.

My husband works from here at home. I work from here at home. A lot of people work from home. Home is a good place to be when you want to save money on leasing an office. We even get tax breaks from working at home. Not very many of us have a dentistry license, yet we pull teeth. I have even been known to pull my own teeth. My husband isn't licensed to build fences, but he does it anyway. Does that mean because he hit a gas line while digging a posthole that he should be charged, arrested, and go to jail for not having a license to build fences? Well, apparently, noone thought that or thinks that because he is still working. As the sole proprietor of his business, it just means he's held accountable for accidents, that's what insurance is for. We don't even have insurance. Finally, my last thought on this topic, if I were to go to a person to have a service provided and I didn't feel that the service was going to at least meet the standards I feel are required, that would be an indicater that I need to go somewhere else.

Thats a very good question, I think first you would go to the collection agency an have them verify the debt, if you never had the debt to begin with, they would not be able to verify it and therefore they would be unable to collect on it, if there was some sort of error, etc. However if they were able to verify it you would go to the original company and have them investigate it, for the possibility of fraud and identity theft. I would think

Ah That is what it was, You joined a long time ago, when they were still doing credits instead of mycents, you must have earned a lot of credits back then, lol. But that makes sense, it's keeping track of your mycents, and not previous credits you earned before the mycents went into effect. That make sense to you?

If thats the case I got jipped! lol j/k Did you add any money to your account manually? with a credit card, or thru paypal or something maybe? I'd like to know how that happened myself. lol

On your profile and when you post down there in red it shows your mycents, now if you get over 100 mycents it sends $1 to your xisto account, and shows your total earnings in green above your mycents when you post. Of course, if you use any of your earnings it doesn't always show whats in your xisto account, just how much you've earned in total. For example, mine says I've earned $8, but I only have $6 in my account because I purchased hosting already. I hope that helps Lonebyrd.edited typos

This really irks me, I have several friends, and even some family members who are felons. They've made their mistakes and have paid their debt to society. But they are not able to get respectable employment, It seems these days the only places that will hire felons are fast food joints. Most of them that I know have resorted to running their own businesses because people refuse to hire them because of their background. At least those who don't work at McDonalds or Waterburger. Employers are not supposed to discriminate against felons, just like anyone else. But I guarantee you, you have a felon apply for a job, and someone who is less qualified apply for the same job. That less qualified person will be hired well before the felon is even considered. I know too many people who are GOOD PEOPLE that are discriminated against because of their background. Even when it comes to those who own their own businesses. Should someones background really be taken that much into consideration when choosing them to do your work? Say you want a landscaper to design your yard. His price is reasonable, and he's more then qualified with many years experience, has references, and is known for being honest and doing quality work. Would you hire him if say he was a past sex offender or thief? He's obviously trying to make a life for himself by doing honest hard work, and has learned from his mistakes, or could even have been wrongly accused and still did the time for it, you really wouldn't know. Would you hire him over someone who was less experienced, with higher prices, and fewer references, but had a clean record?

I plan to have a garden this year. I thought about planting a little bit of everything, however, I think it best if I just plant stuff that I will actually use to eat or cook myself. I will probably stick with a row of corn, tomatoes, green beens, bell and jalapeno peppers, lettuce, potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic. Oh and two or three plants of okra. I love okra but it grows so fast and you have to harvest it every other day in order to keep up with it.

I don't know the movie that I watched or the exact quote of what I am passing on, so I am just paraphrasing here, but, it was amusing just the same. Every day for six days, take a boiled egg and a piece of cake out to the gopher hole. Stuff the egg down first and then the cake. On the seventh day, after you put the egg in the hole, forget the cake, just leave it out - but be waiting. After the gopher has eaten the egg and pops his head out wondering where the cake is - WHACK IT!!!

A lot of people prefer the original series, my cousin however seems to take everything into account including the books, we had an argument the other day about the new spock and kirk and when they first met, simply because of the difference between the movies/series, and the books. Either way, he still believes the original is the best as well, I like them all to different degrees, different ways, etc.
