I don't have any type of credit card... But I do have my driver's license...
Besides A drivers' license and the money (check or cash will be probably be our pay method) is there anything else we'll be asked to have or show? (credit card? etc?)

THANKS!!!

Can you believe I just got a volation notice for posting a YouTube link to the closing credits of a kiddies TV show called Stingray? It's a TV show - for children - with puppets - If I'd posted the link to Muffin the Mule it would prolly have gone "whoosh" over the Gestapo's head like a hybrid Scud/Exocet.
New rules:
You may not say anything that can be construed as offensive, unless you have a constitutional right so to do. Ergo, You can say "I am black/gay/HIV pos/whatever, and proud of it", but may not accuse anyone else of these conditions.
Any swearing must be done in english, as opposed to american - therefore a bum is a bum, not an equine-like beast of burden or a tramp.
No reference may be made to George dubya Bush's IQ as there are innocent youngsters on this site who have not yet grasped the concept of irrational numbers - they'll ask questions about why an average German Shepherd Dog is smarter than the alleged leader of the alleged free world.

I know people like to say they are open-minded, it sounds good doesn't it?
I always find people saying they're open-minded then they are shocked at certain things and proceed to judge like "oh that isn't right what they do" or "what a freak/weirdo"

Here's an example: The idea that drinking your own urine or putting it on cuts can benefit your health. Fine if you think it's gross. I don't exactly see it as something pleasant but to me it's no big deal if that's what someone wants to do, and who's to say it doesn't work? It's something to consider.

There are even more controversial ones, 1 involves pedophilia. I'm not going to attempt to explain it because some people on here are just far too immature to grasp what the idea suggests and will immediately write OMGS WRONG!11 sick mofo!!
When I first heard the theory I didn't freak out. I don't condone certain things or even agree with them but I can see where they're coming from.

What is open-mindedness really? Are you truely? Am I..hmm

Alice....

To be taken seriously in the world you need to be able to communicate effectively. New TXT chat may be fine for you and you're friends but to the rest of us it shows someone to be lazy and un-educated... whether they are or not. Also, some slang and mis-spelt words can give a sentence a whole different meaning.

Please don't think I'm having a go at you here, I'm talking in general terms but it is a perception that most people will get.

I used to think it doesn't matter how you type as long as people understand you but over the last few years I have found you only really get serious attention if you make an effort...

And yes I agree with you.... there are far too many people interested in spelling mistakes than answering the question....

Take care,
Graham

Need advice but cannot afford a lawyer.

This company's contract of employment goes this way. You join them, u sign a contract and u r bonded to them for 2 years. Why? Because they promised to give u training in the first 10 months.

If u leave within the 10 months, u have to pay back ALL the salary they have paid u so far and some other amount of $$. after then 10 months, but not exceeding 2 years, for every month u don't serve them, u r required to pay them $4000 while your monthly salary is only less than $3000. If they fire u within 2 years, u have to pay too.

In the contract, the employee is specified as an employee, with contribution made by company to the employee social security fund and pension fund. The payment made monthly to the employee is specified SALARY.

It is also specified that the amount owed if one leaves b4 2 years is "expense expended on" the employee.

Is such a contract legal?

I am involved in the campaign to save an ancient green space, in Bristol, called Castle Park, from a development that will remove at least 20+ large, mature, deciduous trees.
1) How can we evaluate their contribution in removing CO2 and producing O2?
2) How much does their leaf litter contribute to soil fertility?
3) How can we roughly translate girth and height into these in/outputs?

I used refill ink from IMS to refill the cartridge in my (6 months old) HP 4215 all-in-one printer. After the 3rd refill the printer stopped working.

Have used HP printers for over 20 years - never had a problem.

Found a reference that HP printers store the identification number (a serial number) from the cartridge. And that it tracks the last 3 cartridges used by the machine.

Can find nothing wrong with the printer.

Considering how HP "acquired" the phone records of their Board members, have to wonder - will the machine "shut down" if it detects you are not using new HP cartridges?

Friends have used the IMS ink to refill their printers - not by HP - several times without any problems.

"This is also the reason why Iran is so brave in daring the US to attack it on the nuclear proliferation issue. Iran knows that it has the power to hurt the US. Without oil from the Gulf, the war machines of the US and its principal allies will literally run out of gas.

A single blow from Iran or China or Russia, or a combination of the three at the Strait of Hormuz can paralyze America. In addition, Chinese and Russian submarines can stop the flow of oil to the US and Japan by interdicting oil tanker traffic coming from the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. On the other hand, US naval supremacy will have minimal effect on China's oil supply because it is already connected to Kazakhstan with a pipeline and will soon be connected to Russia and Iran as well."

Only for those with the needed attention-span.

Could that be _you_ ?
