Is anyone else going?
It looks to be better this year than it was last year. I'm just happy that I'll finally get to see Alice Cooper perform (a)live.
I've been four different years, it gets worse each year. I have never paid to go, I work a few hours and get to play the rest. I'm liking the lineup this year, and I'd actually consider going (I didn't go last year), but my brother's graduation is the 9th, so no such luck.
Have fun, though!
I was looking into volunteering so I could get in free, but I just shook that off and gave them my money (maybe next year, if the lineup is as good). Friends wanted me to go last year, I didn't do that either. This will be my first year there (mainly for the good lineup). I hope it's good enough for me to want to return.
And thanks!
I didn't volunteer, I actually worked with a food vendor. My first year there we were actually on shakedown street, it was nuts.
Definitely have a good time, but remember to be safe. There's free water all around so keep yourself hydrated.
Last time I was there I ran into Jack Black at the Spicy Pie stand (great pizza, btw). He was strangely a very normal person.
Ahhh, gotcha.
My friends' band, Alabama Shakes, is playing up there, and I can't wait for it. And yeah, there will be plenty of water on my end and no drugs in the convoy. And I have all the camping equipment I'll ever need. I'm just extremely excited at this point.

I'm sorry, I can't say that we are in a recession when people line up for Hours to buy Blackberry Storms. Its not even a good phone!
although the stocks are not at there best i can't say anything has touched oklahoma yet.... except that gas is less than half the price it was 3 months ago (1.45 a gallon)
and i'm not complaining one bit about that.
Hello!
I left my night shift job last month and still don't have a job. I'm actively looking for a job, but even then I won't make it to my first pay at this pace.
Is there any way I could make a few bucks at least for gas in the meantime, just so I don't reach the negative balance?
hey sorry about that better times will come.. in the meantime I'll give you my advice and this one comes from personal experience(yes I've had a few rough times, who hasn't?)
Last time I was short on the "thing you use to buy potatoes"(sounds better in portuguese) aka money, I sold something(s) that I had and was not making use of, like my PSP for example. Broke my heart to let it go but you gotta do what you gotta do.
The point is, we always keep things we don't use anymore because we think "well I might be needing this some day" and probably will need that thing again but until then there are more important things one might need.
hope this helps
I have been out of work for 6 months...
are you handy around the house? why not post your talents online (painting, wallpapering, cleaning) on free classified postings...
I lost my job in february due to a work injury, and I was physically unable to do most work with out the use of my left arm. I have healed since then but stopped receiving disability pay in october. It has been 10 weeks and unemployment still has yet to come through and help me out.
I also have sold off things that were luxury items like my ATV and an engine I had built sitting around in my garage. A friend of mine supplements his unemployment doing odd jobs he finds off craigslist and I have helped people move and cut firewood for cash. Hoping the economy picks up locally so i can get back to work soon.
Good luck and look everywhere. Craigslist is a good place to start.
what response have you received from the unemployment office?
Have you gone to them?
If you have, did you show the letter stating when disability payments would start and/or end?
They may be waiting from a response from your previous employer...
I don't get unemployment cheques, but I'm getting a job internview this morning. Thankfully, I don't have many financial responsabilities (college student here), but I could use a few bucks just to close the gap 'till I get a job.
As for putting gas in my car... I got rear-ended yesterday, total loss, and 5 minutes later Staples calls for a job offer!

CA-CHING!!!!!!!
I can already feel your neck stiffening up and a slight loss in feeling both of your pinky toes!!!
Not really, the car took it all so I'm feeling fine, but still. Now I have to get another car with what the insurance company judges my car is worth (360 000 km, but in better condition than anything that mileage).
Trouble likes company

Got the boot at 16.
Evil Stepmother.
15, had a single mother at the time and she bailed, didn't wanna be a mom anymore. Lived with an older couple for a couple months then the school counselor helped me get emancipated to make it all legal. I was signing my own school paperwork and permission forms, bills, loans, and student aid papers before I could buy ciggs.
15 originally. My mother didn't like me spending nights with my GF of that time; so i moved in with her instead! Guess what i was doing at a time when i should have been doing my exams?
Anyway, that ended so i moved home until i was 17 when i moved out for good. Been supporting myself ever since.
Those of you that have a supportive family and good home life should stay there for as long as they'll put up with you. It's the easiest way to save money for your future.

Hell freakin yeah. Amen. It's cool to live out on your own, bring chicks back to YOUR place. But you'll be regretting that move out when you're paying for college, rent, electric, gas, insurance, booze and weed at college with the money you're making flippin burgers full time just being grateful they give you a free meal once a day. Chicks don't like dudes with no money, even if he is living at his own apt. Bring em home to the spider man sheets. Most don't care and Mom is alot more understanding than you'll ever give her credit for.
Good thing my mom is so supportive, problem is even her is having a hard time financially and I can't find a freaking job!

People usually move out when they pass out of school..
I passed out of school.. got into college in the same city so didn't have to move out.
Passed out of college and got my first job close to my home so still living with them
Will move out if my work sends me else where or if I take a job elsewhere
moved out of home when I was 18 for stydies and work then came back at 25 cause of financial crysis at my country. No job no money
Finally got a decent job and trying to save some money so i can plan my next move but it's not an easy thing cause my family bussiness is preety much ruined by this situation so i got to support them too
I'm 25 now and living at my parents house. We've been moving 3 years ago, now the whole family has to help out on that farm stuff, which will take maybe 1 or sometimes 2 weeks in a year so nothing special.
I do not have to cook myself which is probably the best thing cause when u get home after work, pretty tired and u have to cook - that's probably one thing that goes for days but not months or years
I'll stay maybe one or maybe two years here, then I'll find myself a place - atleast that's the plan, cause it's not always good to be here, and some day everyone has to go it's own way.
Wow interesting answers... I was 17 when I left. Dropped out of hs and started working 3 jobs...Couldn't stand my mom stealing all my weed and she hated me taking all her box wine and store brand vodka..hehe. but if I had a "normal family" id still be living there! Is 33 too old to live w/ your parents?

Indubitably
I'm thinking of moving out in a few years. I'm still in university and working, I'm 19 I turn 20 by the end of the year. My mom's always been a single mother since she came to Canada, so I want to be able to help her out as much as possible and even though I'm 19... I get spoiled, hahaha so I still live with her.

Not necessarily. My mother is the most shallow, obnoxious person I know. Not to mention racist and close minded.
But if someones mom (and/or dad is good (speaking generally here) THEN STAY A LONG, LONG LONG TIME... like til your thirty... Seriously. Do it.
I left at seventeen and it was VERY DIFFICULT....
Pre-order leads to anticipation
Anticipation leads to Angst, and high expectations
High expectations leads to disappointment
Disappointment when you get your new toy is bad.
So, just pretend you never ordered, stop checking every hour... and be happy when it shows up at your door.
Just a thought
Make sure when you forget you ordered it, don't forget day of delivery.

This is some really good advice. I remember being disappointed by both my Xoom and Transformer Prime because I built them up so much in my mind and hunted them down so relentlessly. You come to find out that you enjoyed the hunt and the purpose it gave you more than you enjoy the product after you built up all of those expectations.
Definitely agree. I usually check once a day. Of course, I'm trying not to freak out so much since I cancelled my 8gb and ordered a 16gb just today. Hehe...
I am still upset didn't help should I smash my Nexus against the wall when it comes in to show Google I am pissed at their shenanigans?

This is good advice for anything in life. It really is just silly the reactions we have been seeing lately.

It's always like this for every new device launch. People revert to little kids. That's not such a bad thing. There is enough stress in life that it's good have an excuse to be a little kid once in a while. It's good to be excited and enthusiastic and rambunctious.
The toy may not be up to all the hype, but it's not that important. Good or bad, there'll be another sought-after toy to come along in a few months, and we can have another little girlie tea party. Wash, rinse, repeat. Such is the color of life, eh?
jUST ENJOY THE MOMENT WHILE IT LAST/ U CAN...
I enjoy the waiting a little. I find it exciting to know that I have something that I want coming soon in the mail. It is like Christmas but I know that I'm going to like what I'm getting.
This wait is nothing, I pre-ordered some $200 canal phones mid March which were expected in within about a month, by April they were delayed to June. I decided to wait and when June came around they still weren't in and now there was no eta. I figured I'd waited this long so sat tight, a few weeks ago I was told mid to late July so fingers crossed it'll be very soon. Another retailer is shipping them Monday so maybe mine will be just in time for my new Nexus hehe
Brainwavz B2's for anyone who's interested, I've made sure not to let the wait effect my expectations at all, the worst that could happen now is that I don't like them
Its been my experience that when you try to get a hot selling item as fast as you can, you end up having to pay way more than you planned to in the beginning. I'll be happy if mine comes before August.

Currently running Pure Nexus Rom 20170121. The last time I received a survey was 12-13-2016. Location mode is set to High Accuracy. I also even went in and changed Rewards from optimizing to not under the battery optimization.
I travel a lot and would assume that I would get one maybe once a week. But it's been so long. I am just curious if anyone else has a similar experience, or if there is anything I can change in order to see some surveys.
Same here.. I went like 3 months with nothing... Then last week I got one, and yesterday.... So they still come, just not as frequent as when first installed.
What u do for a living? I think those surveys are mainly conducted by Google. My guess is amount of surveys you get depends on if your in the target market or whatever product they're trying to push at the moment.
And they'll know if you fit the profile base on the "spying" Google does.
I just got a poll today. I'm on the latest PureNexus. Never had any problems with rewards.
They tend to come with varying frequencies but I get them often enough though. Running stock for what it's worth.
You know what's funny about Rewards? I have it on my N7 that only sits on my tool box at work and goes no where outside that building. Like most of you I would get them once maybe twice a month or not at all for weeks. I put it on the fact I lied to Google and got caught (kind of funny) on one survey early after signing up.
Then two days ago I started getting a bunch of surveys, 4 in a one day, then yesterday I had 25 sent to me. I kid you not. I thought something was broke at Google. The surveys even seemed to repeat to degree with only slightly changes in wording. I keep waiting for a "um we're sorry but something broke we're taking our money back" email from Google. Anyway I got a bunch of cash to give to the great developers here.
I just loaded Rewards to my N6 my to grab this screen shot as proof.
Did anyone else have Rewards cough up a bunch of surveys an money yesterday?
