Anyone ever get bill from magazine company they never subscribed to

SiR-ed8 — 2008-07-03T20:25:13-08:00

Buddy just got one from Fitness and I'd hate for him to be referred to collections when he didn't even subscribe to them. Matter of fact, he sent it back to them.

In past when I got those sample issue magazines if i didn't want them I just didn't pay them and that was the end of it.

This Fitness doesn't even have a contact number on their site

Car Insurance

Nasty Nate — 2008-07-03T14:54:45-08:00

Before I ask the question, here is a short bio. I'm about to be 20 years old in august, I'm a full time student and I live at home with my mom.

That said, here's my dillema. In the 3 years of having a driver's license, my mom never reported me to her insurance company because she couldn't afford a new driver on her premium because she had a brand new car (06 Malibu).

Fast forward to today and my dad tells me my next car has to be on my own insurance policy. The question is can I have a separate insurance policy for myself and my own car while still living at home with my mom? Basically 2 policies for one household.

For those of you who are coming to the E-Town Meet 2

Where are we going afterwards for the weekend?

SNK's KOF Fatal Fury VS Capcom's SF which do you prefer

SiR-ed8 — 2008-07-03T18:58:49-08:00

It never occurred to me why Capcom couldn't be bothered to go past "II"

My first 2D fighting game experience was Street Fighter II World Warrior. Ever since then I got hooked.

I never played the SNK arcade games but I do have KOF '98 for OG PS1.

BTW does anyone remember Star Gladiator by Capcom? It was nice attempt at Soulblade ( SoulEdge ) type game but still left more to be desired.

Everyones Hero — 2008-07-03T15:17:13-08:00

After being out for a year I'm finally headed back.

I was talking to the adviser & she said that the board had just taken me off of academic probation (was limited to like 5 credits) and that my math class I had aced kept me from getting thrown out. Current GPA is only 1.667.

I have to retake the student success class (BS class that "teaches" you to study. It was so dry so I quit going) and I'm taking my 1st accounting class to see if I like it.

She said that she taught the SS class last semester & she had a lot of fun with it. She said it's one that's not supposed to be taught out of the book. She also said that my initial degree, management development, only has a 4 class difference from accounting so I could take those 4 extra classes & have 2 associates degrees.

I'm just fucking stoked to finally be getting out of this damned rut & being back on my way to doing something with my life!

FAVRE WANTS BACK IN! Will He Come Back

Source: Favre has 'itch' to ditch retirement, report to camp
By Chris Mortensen
ESPN.com
Updated: July 2, 2008, 5:06 PM ET

With his family "tugging" on him to play, Brett Favre has an "itch" to come out of retirement and report to training camp with the Green Bay Packers later this month, according to sources close to the team and player.

Favre has communicated his potential desire to coach Mike McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, a Packers source said.

The source said the Packers would be reluctant to open the door for Favre because "Brett retired for the right reasons, even though I know his family is tugging on him [to play]."

Another source conceded Favre was "getting the itch" to play football in 2008.

However, Favre's agent downplayed the likelihood that the quarterback could un-retire or that he was prepared to report to camp July 28.

"As far as I know, right now, Brett Favre is retired and until he tells me something different, that's what it is," James "Bus" Cook, Favre's agent, said.

Favre was unavailable for comment. A Packers spokesman said that McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson were on vacation.

Favre has two years remaining on his contract at an average of about $12.5 million per season. His salary is not currently counting toward the salary cap because the Packers placed him on the reserve-retired list.

If Favre decides that he absolutely wants to play this season, the Packers could be confronted with a sensitive issue. The entire offseason has been spent preparing Aaron Rodgers to play quarterback to the point where "the offensive scheme has evolved" and, psychologically, closing the door on Favre's legendary 17-year career.

If the Packers resist a stronger push by Favre to return, sources speculate that the quarterback could press the team to release him from his contract so that he could seek a job with another team. A league official said that Favre could force a decision by asking the Packers, in writing, to reinstate him to active status. The team would have to comply or release him.

"That's speculation and I wouldn't go there," a team source said. "We value Brett's legacy, we think he values it, and we'd want to protect that. Brett's a high-quality person and he's not going to push it that far. He'll do the right thing [and stay retired]. This was almost predictable, the idea that Brett would get the itch to play as we get closer to the season."

In an interview done with ESPN around the time Favre retired in early March, McCarthy predicted Favre "will have an itch to come back. I saw Joe Montana go through it, even though I was a younger coach in Kansas City at the time."

McCarthy said it was Favre who convinced the coach that retirement was the "right thing to do."

"I tried to talk him out of retirement," McCarthy said back in March. "Tom Clements [Green Bay's quarterbacks coach] and I were trying to sell him on the concept that he could still play at a high level with 80-to-85 percent of the commitment he had last year. Brett thought that maybe he could do it but he reasoned that when you cut back the commitment, you open yourself up to injury, to not being on top of your game -- which was very important to Brett -- and letting the team down in the process.

"Really, what Brett did was very honorable because the stress and pressure he feels is a direct result of the standard he sets for himself."

The soul is made of foul spirits, and they surround us day by day yet we dont know what they look like or even smell like.

They wander like strangers in the night, seeking comfort but they dont comprehend when it is given.

Tears fall, leaves fall, we fall.

Tears dry, leaves dry, we dry.

It leaves us empty, but yet we want more, a concept I cannot grasp.

My girls dad and step mom are going to get divorced. (I'm assuming)
This has all happened in the last 2 weeks
My girls step mom sprung on my girls dad that she was moving to AZ. he tried to make it work but nothing helped. She took all the house appliances that he bought and the 3 kids. Well once they got to AZ they lived with her dad for 2 days and the boy got into a fight with her dad (lol). So she decided to move again this time to Victorville. Well 3 days ago she just upped and took the kids and moved to TX with her dad and is now renting a house so that�s what makes me assume a divorce is coming.

she is also bipolar and not taking her meds. she smokes weed and blames my girls dad for everything that is happenening because he drinks. he works 2 jobs to get himself out of debt and she put him 80k in the hole.

Now my question is how legal is it to just up and bounce to 2 different states with out the other parents consent?

How can/should he go about handling this?

Might be a huge risk

I know this belongs in the automotive forum, but humor me before moving it.

I've come down to 3 different cars that I can choose. I want all of your opinions before I buy any of them. The car will be a DD with some occasional autocross. If I choose the S14 I'd probably get into drifting, even though it's very expensive due to breaking things and what not...
