cadman1 @cadman1 (96) • United States 4 Dec 08

Personally for me I have chosen to go with the free downloadable Avast program. I had a lot of problems while Norton was installed and after I uninstalled it all my problems went away. So rather than pay for lock ups and random...

dfranz2 This really isn't all that surprising. The Federal Government makes the rules, and then they edit them as they see fit to keep themselves from ever really revealing the truth. Look at all the stuff we learn about past presidents after they have been out of...

I Just Got Up From Sleep To Find Out 2 Shoes Were Thrown At Bush In Iraq.

elmiko @elmiko (6630) • United States 14 Dec 08

I saw the video just now where the reporter missed at connecting on the 2 shoes being thrown at Bush. I guess this will be a part of presidential history where people can look back at the George W. Bush years as president. Yeah...

dfranz2 Maybe the reporter should have had an extra pair of shoes to see if he could have hit him with 4 shoes. That is so funny. Bush did bob and weave pretty good, but he has been a politician for a long time so he is used to ducking the issues!

dfranz2 I have sold on ebay, but do not recommend it. It costs too much, and they have made it almost impossible to sell unless you are selling stuff like you would buy at a garage sale. I have tried ubid and yahooauctions, but with no luck. You may try ebid.net, I...

dfranz2 We can only hope that he moves to Texas and runs for the Senate. After what he did here, we don't need anymore influence of a bush. Besides, we are in a drought and can't afford to water any more bushes.

How do you manage a buyer's expectation?
