I can't afford to invest on a good anti-virus like kaspersky or bitdefender. Do you know any good anti-virus that's available for free? I used to use AVG free, but it seems to have become a bloatware and avira seems to catch a lot...

mickeydurkin For me formal clothing is always best. I would love to have a job that required a suit and tie. I have always wanted that very important roll, so I could dress for the part. I have been accused in the past for overdressing at some occasions. Now in this day...

Was wondering if any of you mylotters have signed a contract with a company, then found better conditions from another place? The reason I ask is because tomorrow I am going to return my vehicle that I have been making payments on...

mickeydurkin I the contract is a lease then they have to take the vehicle back. It would be an early lease return, which is perfectly legal and happens often. If the contract is a purchase and you still owe money. When you drop the vehicle off at the dealer, that is...

mickeydurkin That's how I feel, I would rather work out a problem and talk than fight to a miserable end. Missing out on the one I love because of a stupid argument is just ridiculous. So I agree with your advise.

mickeydurkin I think some people actually get joy out of putting a person down. The human condition of negativity and greed is a hard personality to dissect. Some people suck and only open hand cracks across the face are the remedy for the situation. Smack, crack, and stop...

mickeydurkin Did you see that BP has had eight safety violations in the past three years. To put that into perspective, Exxon has had only one violation and other leading oil companies have had three. This has been during the rule of BP's new safety advisor.

mickeydurkin I like your response, people that ask for help should pay attention and listen. If I need help I don't make the person helping feel like I know more than them. The old virtue just listening I believe has faded somewhere.

mickeydurkin Yes harry potter needs to end. Harry's got to be around thirty now. I even heard he has a child on the way. Just kidding, but the series should end. It had a good run. Plus harry potter and twilight in the same decade, we're all doomed.
