1) Don't trust anyone. That thin weasel looking level 10 neutral fighter is probably a level 18 evil thief assassin, robbing you blind, skimming from the loot, and waiting to have you killed so they can loot your body.
2) The DM cheats,life isn't fair, deal with it if your nice and don't piss him / her off they may cheat for you and help you out, be nice don't start shit, & keep your head down you might just make it.
3) For god's sake don't forget your rope, tinder box & canteen. Your in for a long trip if you do.
4) It's not a bad idea to know a few of the enemies or foes language, and don't go blabbing that you do unless it's beneficial and the time.
5) Intelligence (not the stat), spy's and fore knowledge will save your ass use them wisely but also protect your source.
6) Security is a fallacy. No matter how bad ass that armor & sword is, no matter how much you train there is ALWAYS something that will kick your ass.
Sorry to hear about your pain. As another former 2x mustang owner and former Ford fan I have to agree. My '00 sucked an intake valve into my motor thoroughly killing it in '05 just a few months out of the warranty period. The dealer wanted some extraordinary fee (can't remember the number) just to look & diagnose it because they had to take the engine apart.
Would not try and help with the cost, even though it was just out of warranty, wouldn't buy it back as a trade-in without me putting up the cash to diagnose the problem, even though they knew they could put a new motor in it and turn it back around for more then they would have paid me. The car was in cherry condition besides the engine trouble, and they would have gotten another sale from a continued supporter.
I ended up finding a shop that did a 15 min "yeah engines f'ed" diagnoses & did a complete swap out. Poor thing never did run quite the same as when it was off the line though. I left it behind in FL, assuming it won't pass emission in my new state. Now I drive a Honda, no more:

The other reply is good advice to reduce junk mail and such I have been on it for a while and I can say it helps. Unfortionatly companies that have prior business with you will still sell your info so your treating the symptom not the cause.
Having been closer then I wish to admit to a group of spamming a-holes for my first job out of college "think senior citizen groups" I learned the magic phrase.
"Do not rent, sell, or trade any of this information, & please put on your do not mail list"
This tells them in clear terms they can't weasle out of that you don't want your info sold or traded, and you don't want junk mail catalogs. They trade, rent, and sell your name like a commodity, with competitors lists for more names so don't forget this part!!
I have also had people recommend and tried although I haven't caught anyone yet, to change your middle initial to something odd as if you had a typo. That way if they do sell your info you will know who the offending party is. FYI the bad guys do this (seed their list) to make sure when they rent or sell your info the list only gets used once.
You can also contact the post office and let them know you don't want any 3'rd class mail.
Get your name on the Do Not Call Registry, the Opt out List, and the DMA do not mail list. Inform all the companies you do existing business with your wishes by writing the magic phrase or all your mail correspondence or checks for a few times. This with all for about 6 months and you will notice the difference. Here are links for the Google impaired.
I've never understood that to be honest and it's always bothered me. The supreme court is supposed to be the FINAL say on the law, the last bastion of hope as it were yet they don't have to hear a case effectively killing it without inspection.
How is that fair. Can someone explain this to me because it doesn't seem right
I'm with you.. this a'hole has not only the.com but also the.net and.biz of my surname with a three year old static page with his sons frigging picture on it On all THREE DOMAINS!!

Ah good times. good times.... Still it brought me right back when you used that moniker. I haven't been called boats in 14 Years now.
No thanks on the engineering. I'd gladly take another 4 years in the foc'sle then getting stuck down in DC or chasing turds.

Interesting, so let me ask you both can you make your own distilled spirits?
The reason why I ask is this is in the US there is a tax on liquor, and a whole department was formed partly to combat moonshine solely for the lost taxes.
Cigarettes too but since not many grow their own tobacco it's not as clear cut.
because even crooked cops are still protected by that thin blue line.
God forbid they have to have to go to jail like all the others they put there some with no merit, but then again god forbid they actually uphold the law not just enforce it.
I have no experience with the x2 which I am assuming your speaking about for $400. I use an Original xbox which can be be had for about $40 less if you find one at a garage sale, and hacked into a XBMC box in about 20-30 Min.
Except the economist in me has to wonder if they are factoring in any cash number for the lost job hours both in the fed, 3 block radius around the convention center, and closed bridges? That is all new and costs all the NOVA cities, fed, and local industry.
Yes my business is closed, and I am off today because our staff can't get in and we are bound by law to ratios, if we can not maintain them we have to close. We collect monthly so one day off is not significant to us but you can bet it is to some of my staff.

I looked it up again it looks like it's attributed to George Eliot, Abraham Lincoln (also Confucius), Mark Twain, and finally the bible.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. -- 'Proverbs' 17:28.
does anyone else see having your engine cut off in the middle of rush hour traffic while everyone else is around your is cruseing at speed?
oh yeah no I didn't RTFA and FP!
Brings to mind a quote:
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
Abraham Lincoln
Really who are the other three.. oh I'm sorry you were trying to be FUNNY..

Not if they can't open. There is a three block radius area closed to all traffic (IE foot & car) for three days around the convention center.
All these businesses are defaulted closed since even if they get in there is no one else going to buy anything.
That's just around the convention hall, not the entire dc, NOVA and MD area that is getting the old long and hard.
I voted for him, but I'll be glad when it's over.
