No matter how its booked, I'm going to go over. Because I Say So.
We didn't twist anything, we just read what you'd written, especially the "holier than thou" cliche when all we've done is tell you that if there's a queue to get in then you can't make the people stood in it stand and watch you feed your addiction before going back inside the buildng because, in the eyes of the people in the queue, you would be the sneering wanker.

So because you've got a nicotine addiction and get drunk then that makes me a sneering wanker?
I won't let the prostitutes in the pub to crank up or light a crack pipe. Goodness knows what they think of me.

Oh man, call us old fashioned, but we blamed Lillibett because Lillibett did it and Lillibett admitted to doing it and then denied it, along with you we might add, earlier in this thread before you had a road-to-Damascus revelation and are now not only admitting it happened, but admitting who did it!
It's done now, it's over, it got cleaned off the wall. It got brought up earlier in the thread because someone decided to stick their oar in and not only say we were being mean to you both specifically (like you're the only people who smoke fags) and then go on to recommend we spend money we haven't got on building a smoking shelter with a f*cking TV in it just to please people who can't manage without a cigarette for the night.
The things you posted which we objected most of all in all of this were the name calling, the comment about "it'll give them something to do" and your constant CONSTANT moaning about your sodding nicotine addiction as if it's everybodys responsibility but your own.
If you can't face going out without having a cig every time you buy a drink then just don't go out. Just stop expecting us and the hypothetical queue of people to understand the torment you'll have to go through when you have to go without.

Fucking hell, that took some reading. I see my name got mentioned again in terms of condoms and prostitutes, it is obvious what you people REALLY think of me.
Will be good to see you Peter if me and my mate can get in later on, we are off to see Rick Witter and The Dukes at Academy Three. You will have a ball if it's your first time, unfortunately you won't get to see the dancer in action
What fucking joke of a thread.
Always good to see the mighty S&G defeat all comers with three simple weapons of logic, common sense, and not being completely stupid though.
Good to see you lot bum 'S&G' no matter what, you can always rely on that.
yep game, set and match SnG.
Cant wait for the new improved Smiths Disco... I've had to leave early the last two times cos my friend has asthma and cant handle it in there. All Change in July though. The smoking ban isnt about a nanny state gone mad, it will improve the lives of all us non smokers and dare I say it, all you puffters too.
thank you from the heart of my bottom
I've only been half-reading this thread, but what is the S&G policy on smoking..are you allowed outside for one, or do you expect nicotine addicts to go without all night?
It's surprising how you get used to not being able to smoke in certain places - the bus, the cinema, work etc..but the only thing that keeps you going is knowing that you will be able to have that blessed fag soon after.
The easiest thing would be to stop selling cigarettes. Why don't they do this?
Anyway hope everybody has a grand night at the S&G, enjoy your last night of smoking along to Moz, and think of me sitting in a theatre NOT being able to smoke watching Derren Brown.
GU - the Smoker
tsk! kids these days, it's not like it were in my time, we used to send them up chimleys to smoke! Them was rotten days! Bring back hangin' a stint in the army's what they need etc.
P.s. I enjoyed this thread I can hardly wait 'til next month for the next thrilling episode
The cigarette machine will be going back to the company we rent it from sometime this month.
We've never said that we wouldn't let people outside for a cig, we said that if there was a queue then those who went outside for a cigarette would have to join it. They wouldn't be charged to get back in. We already operate that policy now, but people seem to have forgotten about it. The reason behind it is, especially at the Morrissey Smiths Disco, the blind, drunken rage of a few people who aren't prepared to wait to enter the building can and will result in someone who just nips out for a quick cigarette being subjected to a torrent of abuse and probably more (drunk people argue with drunk people, it's in the contract) and the Star&Garter won't put up with any of that on or off the premises.
The fact that certain persons were reduced to petty name calling at just the thought of maybe, possibly, having to join a queue in order to feed a self-inflicted addiction only served to remind us exactly what kind of people inspired Mayall, Meyer and Elton to write The Young Ones.

I can't see what the S&G can do for the smokers - the arguments they've given are solid. Maybe the smokers who attend the S&G should stop going and make their own MORRISSEY AND THE SMOKES DISCO. I can see it now - pictures of Morrissey up in some shithole with fags super-imposed into his mouth and stuff on the walls saying MARLBORO IS NOT MURDER.
Although saying that, I have sympathy for this sister steve character - I know very well from my times at university (in Huddersfield ironically) that you can't talk with some smokers about the possibility of them not smoking. I've known some proper nicotine addicts. For some reason logic doesnt work. I WILL be attending this July - because a smoke free S&G will be a far better place and I am hoping to see this virtual scrap infest itself into real-life. Just for some entertainment.
MARLBORO IS NOT MURDER!!! That's fucking ace! Last night was my first time at the S&G. I was a bit suprised that i could get in straight away at 12:30 - from what i've heard here, i thought there was a massive queue allthe time. Loved it the - its a cool little venue, and i like the way you can dance and sweat upstairs and chill out down. Went with the missus and a few mates who were only casual Moz fans, so i think they were a bit overwhelmed. Need to get some more mates who are deep into Moz to go with next time. It was a good night though!
I was a small fat child from a council house, there was only one one thing i ever dreamed about. fate has now handed it to me..... whoopee!!
Glad you enjoyed it mate, it is an eye opener your first time. I think it was because students are finishing off exams or have buggered off why it was relatively easy to get in last night. Now you can probably realise why the place hasn't got a plasma tele too haha
Where is Craig and the pictures?
If Steph had been there the pics would have been up by now...

Really? And here's me thinking their "arguments" amount to the same old patronising, condescending, smug and superior posturing "they" always respond with, if ever anyone dares question "their" policies.
Of course, "they" (and I'll stop using inverted commas now, but just so you know, it's not a "they", it's a "he") are free to do whatever they like, and if people don't like it they can fuck off. That goes without saying, although it is, in fact, what S&G say repeatedly, in their own tiresome and charmless fashion.
Much of what they said, regarding the difficulties of providing "smoking shelters" etc. is fair enough, even though no-one was asking them to anyway. That was all designed to muddy the waters, so that the real issue would be obscured. The real issue being their insistence that anyone nipping out for a cigarette would be forced to join any queue that happens to be outside, and wait for up to an hour to be re-admitted.
The reason given for this being that a drunk and unreasonable person in the queue might not like it if a smoker, who had already paid to get in, was allowed to go straight back in after their cigarette.
That is their argument in it's entirety, and this from those who revel in announcing every month how their word is law, and that their authority can not be challenged!
Just read their first post in every thread advertising the Morrissey/Smiths disco at the S&G, and you'll see that in every other instance, people are told, in the usual curt fashion we've come to expect, not to bother complaining about anything, yet we're expected to accept that the word of a drunk waiting to get in is enough to decide policy regarding something as contentious as the matter being discussed here?
They/He/Them/It are always careful to claim the moral high ground, using their patronising tone to such mind numbing effect, until people can no longer bear their smug attitude, and finally, out of sheer exasperation, fall into the trap of making an "insulting" remark, which is then seized upon as some kind of vindication by S&G for all their subsequent sanctimonious twaddle.
And as for your second "point", a new Morrissey/Smiths Disco has been started in Manchester, which doesn't treat smokers like criminals or second-class citizens, and, indeed, treats everyone with the courtesy and civility all of us should demand.
S&G are in danger of alienating the very people who have helped make the Smiths/Morrissey night a success. Their complacency, and lack of respect for their patrons, has already led to regulars boycotting their event, and, unless their attitude changes for the better, I predict even more dissatisfied customers in the forthcoming months, particularly now that their Morrissey/Smiths night monopoly has been broken, and there is a much more rewarding experience to be had at 'Maladjusted' on the third thursday of each month (next one June 21st).

I have to say, I find some of the categories they consider a violation a bit confusing as well. For instance, there's an item on the check list labeled "Insects, rodents & animals not present; no unauthorized persons." So if the owner's son is home from school and hanging out with his dad behind the counter in the shop, that's the same as there being insects or rodents present? It's not the same to me.
These are pretty exhaustive and comprehensive checklists and while they're a very important part of making sure the food we get is safe and hygienic, I'm going to bet most of our kitchens at home wouldn't pass this test on the first go 'round. I'm not confident mine would. There are some pretty great restaurants in Norristown serving up wonderful food. I'm not going to stop patronizing them because they didn't get a perfect score on the first try.

I exchanged my premium week at a Disney-area property for a week in a studio at Thunder Mountain simply for the access to skiing. While the location is good (not on-mountain, which I would have much preferred), the Inn itself doesn't offer much. The studio is very small, with only a shower and a half-kitchen.

Female Athlete of the Week: Sara Flores, Kingston High School, indoor track & field (video)
Kingston High's Sara Flores is at the top of her game for the Tigers girls indoor track and field team as the season winds towards championships.
Flores recently won the Orange County Interscholastic Athletic Association 300-meter title and added a second first-place finish in the 800 relay.
Flores upended defending champion D'Yanna McCaskill of Newburgh by eight-hundredths of a second in 41.44 seconds.
The week before, at the prestigous Molloy-Stanner Games in New York City, Flores set a school record in the event with a time of 40.83. The time was also sixth best in New York State and 21st in the country this season.

I am convinced that the mobile internet depends not only on signal strength but also what handset you use.
I have friends who have the latest phones, tablets and pa's but my Motorola ATRIX still out performs them. ( you should see some of their faces when I tell them my phone is 18 months old). Never had a problem with the service at T-Mobile.
T-Mobile Mobile Broadband Reviews
T-Mobile 3 months internet Huawei dongle, for just £29.99 ."Use the internet the way you want everyday without having to worry...." Sure, nice box and nice dongle, 3 months internet, Should we believe them, in these phoney contract and slightly dodgy Mall days? Reality? It's for browsing, nothing else. So no. Aaah, "if it sounds too good to be true"....The Three months internet from T-Mobile is a very recent purchase, sounded just great. Just £29.99 for 3 months free unlimited on a stick. Browsing yes. Much else? No.
Be prepared for big red nag screens when the short allowance runs out. Those nag screens will cancel out whatever you're doing, and you'll lose work/track. Emails and surfing: fine. Just. Very soon after purchase, and a few You Tube visits or a bit of downloading, you'll be restricted to browsing and emails only. Because you "exceeded the Fair Use policy". It's okay, if you have absolutely no other means of Internet at home. Otherwise, avoid. -
T-mobile......yes....where to possibly begin?
I've been using this sloppy device of a 120 dongle for almost three years - so in a way, the more I use this ridiculously outdated device, the more I fund t-mobile to carry on providing just the s**ttest service ever.
Customer service is largely either unpleasant, accusatory when there are issues (it's always your fault, whatever the problem), and phoning them? Don't bother. I was promised a call back and never received one, in other forums they try their least best (that is to say, they really couldn't give a f**k) to appear genuinely sincere in their efforts to try and resolve any issues and they fail flat out.
The dongle itself may be reliable, but the software for it is most definitely not. I remember getting this thing for Windows 7, and as yet, there appears to be no fully functional entirely able software to get this thing working. As a result it's usually a mess about with Windows to try and get an initial connection. If you have Windows 8, the news is far worse - it simply won't do anything and you'll have to spend hours longer to get it to work at all.
There appears to be no hardware support for the product, it's not listed as far as I can tell in their website (also the EE equivalent of t-mobile support). I doubt very much that EE is any better than T-mobile. "Polish a turd, it's still a turd" And my GOD T-mobile is just the biggest turd of providers ever.
On the only plus side I've EVER been able to think of, when I did have a problem with my dongle I went to a newly refurbished and done up EE store and the people there were pretty helpful, unlike the people who used to work in the t-mobile store that it once was. But that's been it. There is very little good to say about T-mobile, and I doubt EE is any better.
These people are more about the shareholders and profit, not about the customers and the service. So back off, put the wallet away, and walk out of it unharmed and not disappointed. -
I was givin a dongle off my sister but she has forgot password and username as she hasnt used it for months I am trying to top it up with a voucher but cant log in as I dnt no username r password what can I do please some one help thnx
I too have been using my PAYG dongle for 3 years and the only time I had issues was when i exceeded the download when watching YouTube, I could still use email and surf the web. I use it in a very poor area for broadband and T-mobile are the only PAYG BB that has good signal strength. CAn't say I download too much though. Currently I don't have any issues with this so find this somewhat surprising.
I'm thinking of MIFI now so wondered it that might make a difference. -
I'm on T-mobile mobile broadband PAYG, because I moved into a flat with no landline and don't intend to be here long. So, I'm using my desktop PC as if it were a beast of a laptop.
I'll start with the good: it's 15 pounds for a month, no data limit, on the best PAYG deal. The connection and speed is pretty good. For example, I'm downloading 4 games at the same time as doing this. The games are going to take more than a day doing it this way, but I already know that I can play Need For Speed World on this connection - I've been doing it! That's a 3d car racing game, speeds up to 200mph in a persistent city environment. Pretty damned impressive! I had no idea that was possible on a mobile broadband connection. Occasionally I get dumped out of the multiplayer races with lost connection, but compared to what I expected, that's nothing.
So the good is really good. Unfortunately, the bad is reeeally bad. T-mobile still owes me the 90 days access that I originally paid for. In the first instance, they sent the wrong type of sim with the dongle - it was a smart phone sim, but as it went in 'sideways' I figured it was right, and after finding that the dongle didn't recognise the sim, I was on the phone to T-mobile for help.
They really do answer in that way of reading from a script, rather than listening to what you're saying. One woman tried to tell me I held the dongle so long between receiving it and using it that it had become inactive. (Five hours!? Was that too long?) I know she was trying to say that the sim had gone out of date, but she was also trying to say that was down to me!
One guy told me to visit a particular web page using the dongle - ummmm... problem is it doesn't work!? How am I supposed to do that?
Another woman told me she'd activate the sim for me by putting 79p on it... didn't work, and in fact subsequent phone calls revealed that this never happened anyay.
Another woman told me it was probably the dongle, and she'd put it in the system for replacement, a guy would come and swap mine for a new one. .. this sounded a bit extreme for a payg dongle and sim, and I didn't really believe it would happen. And it didn't. Following the non appearance of this guy at the stated time, I called again. the guy who answered this time said I wouldn't have received anything because they didn't have my address!
Okay, but he adhered to the 'replacement' theory and sent out a new dongle.
Said new dongle came with a sim card, which I immediately saw was twice the size of the sim they originally sent. Now, you'd kinda think they might be interested in checking the batch - these things don't come separately, they're both in the same box.
But no, absolutely no interest in that.
So, I tried the sim, and it worked! I was connected to my account page on T-mobile, but obviously on the wrong number so I had no credit. Okay, cool, I thought it was getting easier. I called again to have the 90 days transferred to the new number.
Nope, despite assurances, it hasn't happened.
T-mobile also, curiously, have a website that seems mobile broadband unfriendly. I can hardly ever load the T-mobile site or look at my account, and every couple of pages the site dumps me out, and I have to log in again which is absolutely ridiculous - these are the pages where my money becomes theirs! Suuurely they'd make more effort!?
And there's a rather odd little thing called 'content lock' that T-mobile apply. It's a 'feature' .. a 'free feature!' at that... it basically blocks unsuitable content... like Facebook, and MSN, and YouTube. Now check this out, there's four ways to get around this: One is simply to use a proxy service of some kind, which while a tad awkward means that any under-16 year old with half a brain will bypass this thing anyway.
the other three ways are the official methods: 2) go to a locked website, the T-mobile message about content lock appears, and you can put in a credit card details and have the lock removed. Only, that doesn't work. It never works. Even if you use the same card details of the card which is registered on your account for the PAYG top ups.
3) you dial T-mobile numbers from your T-mobile phone. Okay, but I haven't got a t-mobile phone. I've got a T-mobile sim, in a dongle, attached to my PC. I have a smartphone with a 3 sim in it, which is locked to the machinations of my T-mobile sim.
4) You take ID to a T-mobile store. While the store-finder on their website is friendly enough, and works, I'm informed that I@m going to have to travel 9.6 miles to do this.
A thoughly mixed review then, and they still owe me 90 days of internet access that I paid for but haven't got. I'm online because I topped up my account with another payment.
So, I guess, this is about fantastic coverage, but it seems mobile broadband customers get kinda bum deal from customer services.
And... I'd also say never, ever, use the online help system. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was manned by bots. The text replies to your queries and information actually don't make any sense and include things like, 'I'm so happy to be helping you today.'' .... wtf? Well get on and do so then! -
Having purchased a T-Mobile 'pay as you go dongle' a couple of months ago, I find that it is very reliable and loads webpages efficiently with 3G (4G not available where I live yet).
Still learning about the usage for listening to 'live' radio, but should be able to listen to my favorite radio program for 2-3 hours a day as long as I remember not to 'download' up-dates which will use-up my monthly usage. Very happy with T-Mobile. -
DO NOT BUY T-mobile 90 day internet for £30. Its a con you get 1G download a month but it uses it within a few hours, then they slow it down so it becomes unbearable to use. Complete pile of CRAP you have to disable automatic downloads and if you use Norton you have to disable that as well otherwise it eats all your allowance.
I'm a bit surprised about all this fair-use policy stuff: I thought T-Mobile were pretty clear about how it operates. Once you get to 80% of your monthly fair-use limit they send you a message to warn you, and then once you hit 100% of it you can't do heavy-use stuff like downloading major files, watching videos and so on between 4 pm and midnight. Given that there's a nominal 3GB limit on your monthly use (or I think it's 2GB for more recent contracts), obviously you can't do much in the way of video or audio files, but it should be sufficient for most other things.
I've been using my T-Mobile PAYG mobile broadband dongle with a 3GB monthly limit for over 3 years now for my business and personal use. I can be online up to 16 hours a day, but in that time, with email constantly on and significant amounts of general surfing, I don't think I've ever exceeded my limit except when I've been watching video, so I'm surprised to find people exceeding their limit in a matter of days, if they're not watching video. And as T-M point out, you're still able to do even that, just not in peak hours (and I'm not aware of anyone else who actually allows you to go over your monthly allowance on PAYG. That's why I went for them). Program updates seem to take place quite happily during those peak hours, though.
What I'm not so happy about, though, is the download speeds at times, I admit, but I'm wondering if any of you have actually rung the helpline to find out whether there was a problem? I used to sit there during peak times and get very frustrated at how slowly pages were downloading, but just assumed that there was too much load on the transmitters, and this was how mobile broadband had to work. It was only when it got totally ridiculous and I had to ring them up that I discovered there was actually a problem with my local transmitter and so we had twice the number of people trying to use one further away which was causing the problems! Now, if I find things are suspiciously slow, I ring them up and alert them, because there may be a transmitter problem they're not yet aware of. -
I used to be a T-Mobile mobile broadband monthly customer. After my second 18 month contract I told them that I wanted to change to another provider. They told me that I could not change, and that I could not 'cancel' the contract, even though I did not renew after the second 18 month contract had expired. They threatened me with court action, debt collectors and all kinds of BS before finally giving up. I recently bought a T-Mobile dongle from Asda as a kind of stop-gap. They have this 'fair usage' thing that says that after you have used 1gb, they choke you down to VERY SLOW speeds and stop you watching video clips. Fair enough? Not when they send you an SMS after just two days of very normal browsing claiming that you have already used you 1gb. Total BS outfit that I shall never use again even if they offer everything FREE!!!!
I switched to T-Mobile as part of a company policy to move from O2. I use this on train for about 3 hours a day on the Bristol to Paddington line. The O2 would drop the signal now and again but reconnect. The T-Mobile drops much more frequently, is slower and for some uknown reason re-initialises the dongle a few times each trip. It's a demanding job for the hardware to keep connected on a train and the O2 service was not perfect but it was MUCH better than this. And of course the T-Mob includes access to the Orange network.
I'm continuing to pay for this because I have no alternative. T-Mobile's claims of 4.5mb speed are complete lies; on a very good day it very very rarely tops 2mb and usually settles around the 1-1.5mb area. The connection keeps randomly dropping out or speeds dropping to 0 for long periods of time, even when it's reporting a full signal. Also if you don't have a credit card then enjoy your content lock. Unless you have a T-Mobile store nearby (which I don't), there is no way of removing it because of their idiotic requirement that you HAVE to have a credit card. No other network demands this, I don't know why T-Mobile insist on it.
Overall, not worth the amount I'm paying but sadly I have to make do as I have no other option. -
Please people , do not bother wasting your money on this product !! We have been stuck with a product that , to be fair , is not fit for purpose . In fact borderline trading standards being involved for what they say you get with contract and what you actually get . In fact our salesman actually lied by insisting that we would always be able to download for free ( without using any of our allowance ) between 12am and 8am no matter what , even if we had reached our limit . Only 1 month to go 'til contact is up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been a Tmobile customer since 2006, with handsets on both payg and contract, I have an old tmobile broadband dongle that i use in conjunction with a payg sim, until recently I was topping up just a fiver a month and buying a month web booster, however this option no longer seems to be available and all they are offering is 5 days net for 2.50 or 15 quid a month for net, come on tmoble thats a little exsessive? I use a lot of internet and am constantly over my fair share, however as im using an old sim it just slows my speed between 4pm and 12am otherwise I was downloading at speeds close to 2mbps however since tmobile has become EE and my speeds have droppped to an average of 50kbps. please sort it out tmobile you used to be good.
Purchased a t-mobile mifi wifi last week with 5GB of monthly data on a 30 day contract for £15 a month. Works well up to now with no problems. I have been cheating 3 for the last 2 years by putting a phone sim card in my three wifi and just paying the £5 unlimited internet access add on (2GB fair use). Even though it was the 3 shop who put me onto this they have now caught up with me and card will now only work in a phone not wifi. Speeds on t-mobile are average (not far from mast), not looking for using out and about, just at home (no phone line in house) and unlike 3 which switch you off when limited reached apparently t-mobile still let you browse (what that involves, I wait to see). One fault is no where to check where you are up to on data within month (unless you count the counter on mifi index page). They only email you once your limit is reached.
Bought this dongle for occassional use when travelling. Have had trouble with signal and topping up. Final straw now is that it has been unregistered from the network and i can no longer use it or find out why it has been unregistered or how to reregister. Definetely NOT reccommended for casual use.
I bought my Dongle back in 2010. Because of this, I was still on the ''Unlimited Downloads Between 12am & 4pm'' Deal until recently. They started to Text me deals. One of them said that I could get Unlimited Free Texts, just for topping up £10 Per Month. As I have been topping up £15 Per Month since 2010, I thought I could jump onto this deal and continue as I am. Turns out though, that it would replace my old deal. So suddenly I had a Dongle that was pretty much useless for being online.
The joke has ended up being on T-Mobile however. I had £18 just sat on my Dongle at this stage. So I tried something in a last ditch attempt to get internet again. As you may know, on Mobiles, you can Text ''MonthWeb'' to 441 and for £5, you get 30 Day's of Internet with a FUP of 1GB. So I tried it and huzzah! For 2 Months now, I've been paying £5 for the very same service I used to pay £15 Per Month for. The only issue I have to look out for, is when it's been a month. I am not told that my internet has expired. It just keeps going, but charges me at whatever rates they charge people for using the net. A way around this though is to simply have no credit on the Sim. It can't take what you haven't got.
Overall, if you like to browse the web a lot (But not download much) then you're best off sticking to T-Mobile. They offer Quantity over Quality. If however, you're a downloader or rare user, look for another provider. Any one will do. But not T-Mobile. -
I bought a £15 dongle yesterda being Friday, I also paid the shop £15 to top it up. my total spend now £30. Following day I use the open university website. I am on this for three hours, when a message pops up telling me that I have exceeded my data limit. I am now going to bin this dongle and warn people of T Mobile .... BBC . Big Bloody Con
I bought this Dongle because I needed access and this was the only way available. It was okay at first, wasn't the fastest but it was tollerable. Did disconnect alot at first. Then I had absolutely no problems and it seemed to go faster. But for the last week or so I keep getting disconnected every minute and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. I'll be looking at another company to try because how are you supposed to do anything getting disconnected every minute!!
The connection is extremely slow, slower than my old 56K modem until after midnight. Pretty crap considering the cost. We all know the main joy of a fast internet connection but you'll have to stay up late if you want that. Good way to kick the addiction and save the wrists.
T-mobile sucks!!!
Who rates this dongle? 4/5 stars for nearly everything! yeah right..
I wouldn't give you 1/100 let alone 1/5!
If i could of found my receipt i would of taken back my 3mth pre pay dongle under the sales of goods act!
There slow, you used to be able to still DL during of peak hours i.e 12am-4pm now you cant at all till you re-top up! & if you've paid for 30 days at a time then your stuck some times for 2-3 wks with out being able to use the internet for what you want to use it for!
I am using T-Mobile last couple of years for simple reason and that is ... they don't cut you off after using that gigabyte of data. In my scenario, the longest I've stretched it was ONE week, but usually it goes within 2 or 3 days, if I am gentle with usage ;-)
Regarding signal reception: I couldn't agree more with above ... It is terrible and disappointing ... very often slow which makes doing ANYTHING with internet VERY VERY FRUSTRATING :-(
I am looking for at least 30Gb (preferably 40Gb or more), but no luck so far :-( -
Just got this message.
You've consistently used a very large amount of data, far exceeding your Fair Use Policy on a number of occasions, as previously advised. To be fair to other customers who may be affected by your usage, we will be closing your account on 20 Sep 2012.
7.5gb this month most of which is in the early hours ie. off peak. 3 month topup was supposed to end 9 Oct. Wish they gave a final warning or somthing. Oh well. -
Extremely disappointed with T-Mobile and their mobile broadband. I also use Orange and 3 mobile, and both are lightening fast compared to the pathetic slow page loads, with T-mobile, even within my monthly allowance, I have yet to experience download speeds from T-Mobile which are greater than 300kb/s and uploads barely exceed dial up internet speeds, even in the early hours of the morning, with full signal strength.
If that wasn't bad enough, The 'always browse and email' policy is throttled back even more, to make it slower than dial up, so you can go off and make a coffee whilst google loads. T-Mobile should re-brand themselves as 'The retro broadband provider' because their service gives you an excellent taste of what the internet was like surfing with a fax-modem back in 1997. So if you are considering T-mobile then don't, hit your back button immediately and avoid them like the plague. There are many other Mobile Broadband providers out there and they all do it far better than T-Mobile.
In short, its a blessing I tried their 'service' (if you can refer to it as that) first with a PAYG sim, because I would hate to be locked into a contract for a service like this, which even ten years ago, would be considered third world. Right now, their sim card only has one useful purpose - bin fodder. -
trust me if you yous your brain T mobile is the best mobile broadband dongle going unlimited internet and i mean unlimited only bean using it for a couple of months and must of used about 500gb of allowance and you don't get chard extra £ for going over your 1gb monthly allowance and if your speed slows down just re connect.
T-mobile in one word is a CON, please do not by,
They lied in the shop saying my area had very good
signal, so when I got home it came up with 2G service
which comes up with a green light, now let me tell you
it took 5 minutes to log into yahoo and kept on logging me
out say problems with DNS? this dongle is a joke and I will be
reporting them to trading standards for selling products that does
Not provide a service they advertise and lie about the coverage
to get a sale. PLEASE save your money. -
I want to warn people about the extortionate overseas charges levied by mobile phone operator T Mobile. We recently returned to the UK from a trip in Turkey to find that we had been charged just under £500 for calls made from Turkey on the Turcell Network.
Many of these calls included a connection charge of £1.50 for 0.00 minutes used which racked up the bill tremendously. If you have T-Mobile set up for roaming internationally you would be well advised to cancel the international roaming and just use it as a UK phone. -
i have a t mobile dongle and want to top it up can you please tell me how to do it on line
Ive now tried two T-Mobile dongles since they launched mobile broadband. One early on and now recently.......simply put, JUNK JUNK JUNK... Stick with 3, costs a little more, but you'll keep your hair!
Have used T-mobile broadband for about 4 years but recently the signal quality has nosedived to make the internet pretty much unusable - slower than the old dial up - it took me 2 hours to pay a credit card bill online. For me this seemed to be linked to the shared network with Orange - I seemed to automatically pick up an Orange signal - and it was very poor. I have called it quits and got a better deal with 3 with speedy and reliable internet and a big data allowance.

My dream is to be a successful musician. I know that a lot of people have this desire and few realize it, but I was not the typical dreamer in this respect. I don't really care about fame and fortune, hooking up with a band and traveling all over the place, or having thousands of fans. To me, music is my passion, and I just want to spend my life making it. I knew I had to get my music out there though, so I looked up web design in perth not that long ago.
I tried my hand at making my own website, but I don't have the talent or patience to learn how to do it. I just want to keep composing my music, but I knew that I would need to have a nice website that my contacts could go to and sample some of my music. I was able to find a great web design company, and it was not long before they showed me exactly what I wanted.

NEW ORLEANS — The N.F.L. hopes by next season to have independent specialists capable of diagnosing and treating concussions on the sidelines during games, the league's top lawyer said Thursday.
The N.F.L. Players Association has been pushing for specialists not employed by teams to offer additional and perhaps unbiased opinions about whether a player sustained a concussion and whether he is fit to return to the field. The union has alleged that the established protocols for examining players have not been faithfully followed because team physicians are either unqualified or under pressure to not pull players out of games.
Working out the details of how outside doctors would be selected, paid and deputized has been difficult. Team doctors, who are around the players during the entire season, are considered to be in the best position to determine whether a player has sustained a concussion. Adding an extra doctor on the sidelines could provide a useful check, but also create confusion.
On Thursday, the league said that having an additional specialist with teams on game days would provide an "extra set of eyes," Jeff Pash, the N.F.L.'s general counsel, said at a briefing that included some of the league's medical advisers.
The league pointed to other measures it has implemented to improve player safety, including medical spotters in the booths at stadiums and online video monitors on the sidelines.
The Players Association, which held a news conference after the league, was mildly encouraged by the league's announcement, but said that the league should uniformly follow rules that a cognitive exam be given to a player suspected of having sustained a concussion.
"We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the sideline concussion protocol that we all agreed on was not given to those players," said DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the players' union, referring to instances of players who returned to games far faster than it takes to examine them. "Our job is to make sure the sideline protocol is followed."
Smith said the union would consider filing a grievance if the N.F.L. did not agree to include cognitive experts on the sideline.
The league admitted that mistrust is a serious issue. Mistrust between the players, coaches, teams and the league was "the pink elephant in the room," said Troy Vincent, the vice president of player engagement for the N.F.L. "We have to break down those barriers of distrust."

In a Feb. 28, 2013 photo, kindergartener Paige Chisholm, 6, makes a snow angel during at Cook Elementary School in Grand Blanc, Mich. Getting a snow day from school is a bonus for students, but not if they have too many in one year. Schools in northern Michigan may have to extend classes later into June as winter weather led to more cancellations than usual. A bill approved 34-1 Thursday by the Michigan Senate would let schools lengthen their days for the rest of the school year instead of having to make them up.

Why not take a day trip to towards Sierra Vista and go wine tasting?
You are probably thinking to yourself why on earth would I go there?
Personally I felt the same way, but from time to time I get the pleasure of visiting all of our wonderful communities in Arizona, one of which is in Sierra Vista. Since it is apart of the job I am always looking for something to do while I am not working. While visiting Sierra Vista my mom suggested I take this scenic route back to Tucson, At first I was skeptical because all it looked like was a bunch of the same desert just like everywhere else. It was a much better experience than the plain Jane interstate 10 way. I never thought I would see anything...

Oh thanks so much. An Orphan just arrived at my door and her name is Zebra now i have 2 kids and a married couple
I want reward my little people with treats and I need the pump for the fountain, but neither of these items are showing up for sale. Is there a way to refresh the varied items? There are empty slots and 2 outfits.
Jenna - The items in the store refresh every few hours, there's no way to force them to refresh.
Help!! Fast! One of the kids is a "bit blue". What does it mean?
VVLover - "A bit blue" means they are a little depressed. Sometimes praising them or giving them a treat helps, or getting a pet or a house upgrade. Sometimes it is because an adult who wants children is childless or unmarried.
How do you give treats?
But they haven't refreshed throughout the entire game. My people have 4 children and have grey hair.
Jenna- If that is happening there is probably a bug in the game, or you just have to wait a little more.
'Oh dear, you've had triplets'. LOL!! My family is first generation and these are the first babies they had.
Is that even possible???
Virtual Village Lover: Apparently so, I must admit I was shocked.
I'm having trouble with the wall compound...I bought it, but it won't let any of my characters mix it. It's just sitting there. Any ideas on what to do or how to get rid of it?
VirtualVillagerLover - It is indeed. I've been running 4 families, one of them for a month (6 generations in) and not one of them had triplets. Just for the heck of it I started a new 5th family earlier today. I decided it was time for their first child a few minutes ago and lo and behold, she had triplets. New family, first time out.
Becca -
About the wall compound:
Have you fixed the leaky hose at the back of the house yet? If you have not, you cannot use the all compound until it is fixed.
I have also been wondering about the chimes - it would make sense if they announced collectibles. But I find collectibles without hearing any chimes so either there's no connection or it doesn't work properly.
About the patio thing - if it is a bottle then why is it tipped over? Unfortunately I have no idea what else could it be.
Some things I find annoying - instead of sitting on the armchair they lay on the floor beside it. And most annoying - when they start out to do something they first attempt to go there in the straight line... and of course hit some wall, then they are enlightened and suddenly aware of all the obstacles. But sometimes it means they have to go back to where they started from and it is such a waste of time. I wish they would fixed it.
To ShhhQ:
I also had a child left behind by dead parents, they adopted her just before they died. So I had a 3 year old running around unattended! I went to the Family screen and started a new generation with her and she was now 27 years old.
Also, this might help for those of you who have no patience:
Once your person picks up a collectable, you can move them and they will drop the collectable, but they will still get credit for it; ie. money for selling it or added to the collection. So you don't have to wait for them to walk back in the house and complete the task. This doesn't work for weeds, socks, the remote or wrappers though.
Question: Can somebody let me in on the red ball thing? Why are we looking for them?
After reading your comment grinnyp, I decided to share the name of my kid that is so strange. She is named Jpeg. Lol.
I have to ask! What does "checking the outfit" mean??? Thanks
Missy918: Checking the outfit means they are admiring their outfit in the mirror, it is not good behavior but, it's not bad behavior, so just let them do it.
Missy918 -
It means they're vain. :-)
Ahh thank you vvlover :)
How do you give treats to your families?
VirtualVillagerLover - Treats
You buy them and just drag them onto the person, you want to give it too
Greetings, Kayleigh
I'm not complaining but, I do agree that they could have put more effort into this game. Let the people interact with more things, least let us interact with the pets!! And the prices of things?? What were they thinkng?? It's a fun game but seriously, for the price of their games, I do wish there would have been more to do with this game. Maybe they will read these and do it!!
Well missy918, it gets more exiting after you have more families and have more upgrades and have more collectons and stuff like that.
Hey Everyone! Weird but I had my 2nd gen. and My son AND his wife said "NO WAY" to kids and ended up having triplets! and then 2 more (so far) but my first gen both Wanted kids and only had 2, LOL... The triplets ALL have the Same everything even likes and dislikes, kinda weird (but theyre ugly lol all my boys look the samE!) Just wondering if that has happened to anyone else with the Triplets thing haha! THANKS
I have had some interesting families. One family, 2 of the 3 boys had on what looked like Amish garb. The store had the same outfit so I put it on the Dad too. The youngest son wore a suit!
One of my favorites was a 2nd generation character. He looked like a geek from birth and when he grew up, he became a ROCKET SCIENTIST that worked from home. Lol, and even mastered it.
I just had something weird happen. I opened my game to one of my families and the Dad was dying! I immediately closed that family and went to see my others. When I came back there were 2 dads on the bed rising up as ghosts. I shut it again, then 4 dads on the bed. So on and so on. Finally I gave up and let him die. I got 19 death notices for him! The mom is really depressed, but who can blame her? Her husband just died 19 times!
I just wanted to leave a tip to whom it may concern:
Always buy the career books/magazines even if your current people don't have that kind of career. It will remain in your tool tray and you may be able to use it in another generation. I have passed up so many chances to buy them from the store when they were avaliable.
They let you skip ahead to the next level on your career and give you a raise on your salary
Wow. That was interesting about your 3 year old with no parents. Poor little thing I guess would have died since it could not prepare a meal.
Also you talked about not having to wait for your person to walk all the way to the collectible chest or to the computer to sell an item and to just pick them up and it will happen automatically. Well, this trick will also work for taking out the trash, instead of walking all the way to the road. (I'm also an impatient person controller.) I wished it worked for socks and wrappers. Oh well...
I always come and read the new post while I'm waiting on someone to prepare a meal and I love to read funny stories or thoughts on the game rather than just request for help. I would just like to encourage more non-question post. If you think you got a cute post please take the time to share!
One of my families has started their 6th generation! It's a relief on the finances when the money gets piled up after so many generations. I've got all the upgrades for the house purchased and still $32,000 in the bank. I don't have to worry so much about how much money they make. And it's fun to start spending money on clothes. The parents both wear black shirts with stars on the front, and the kids wear black with gray suspenders. :D
I am really curious about something, has anyone had more than 6 children? For example if you have 5 children then next birth have twins or have 4 children then have triplets.
One of my families had 3 sets of twins!
ShhQ you said you had a ugly dad that looked like a geek, well one of my people married for money (so I could get the trophy) He was the ugliest person I have seen yet. He had red hair and it was a mullet and was wearing a yellow track suit...UGLY! LOL
What does a bit weak mean? Help, FAST!
does anyone know how long the baby stays with the mom? its seems like it stays with her forever.
VVLover no need to panic...
Make sure they aren't sick. That's what usually makes them become weak. Even just a sore throat will reduce their health strength if it's not cured early. If there is no illness, you just need to make sure they have plenty of good food and give them some time.
To Shauna:
The max number of children is six, so the game wouldn't allow twins or triplets that would put it over the max.
To Virtual Village Lover:
Being weak usually comes from an illness, but can also happen for no apparent warning. Two things that really help are fruit and vitamins. Other than that, just make sure they have plenty of food and get fed.
To Kristiana:
The baby is with the mother for two years, which is about four hours real time.
Lolz, a kid was digging a hole to "China." Should i discourage it?
To VirtualVillagerLover:
No, that's actually the first step toward getting the trophy for praising someone while chasing gophers (#3 in the FAQ). :)
I put the tape next to the hose but now it won' let me pick it up to put it on the hose.
Fixing the hose
Not you have to fix it, but one of your adults. Place someone on the hose. Let another member of you family have a drink at the kitchen sink or clean the kitchen counters or prepare a meal - anything is ok, as long as they open the faucet and the kitchen water is running. The one at the hose will start to repair it
Greetings, Kayleigh
Jenna -
If your store has never refreshed there is a simple fix:
When you are in the store hit the "r" key on your keyboard. This will refresh the store and set it to refresh every 4 hours.
While I sit here stuck on 86 trophies waiting to accumulate enough socks/wrappers/weeds/dirt spots to get my next one I have become obsessed with downloading mods to my game. My living room furniture now has lovely maroon leather upholstery, I have house plants scattered throughout the house, and my patio furniture now has a lovely blue tablecloth. Why yes, I am spending entirely too much time playing this game. :-)
another way
watering flower boxes
after having the shed open and your hose working you can just drop your little one on the watering cans in the shed and they will automatically water them, instead of trying to do it by dropping them on the path
To grinnyp:
I tried what you suggested to refresh the store, but it doesn't do anything. :(
Hi..there's a sock on my fax machine and I cud not remove it.. haha
and my cat is scratching my sofa..;p
how do you get all those maroon upholstery,house plants scattered throughout the house, and patio furniture tablecloth??
Pam -
That's odd, it works just fine for me. You're doing when you are in the store screen, right?
A while back, someone asked if encouraging a child while playing cook, or while playing office, etc. would affect their future careers. I've been researching this for several days with all five of my families. I have to say, the answer is no.
Meanwhile, I am just ONE insect shy of getting all four collections complete! Here's a screenshot:
To Grinnyp:
How do you download those upgrades?
To Anyone else:
Again, what's with the red balls? I can't find the one in the backyard between the flowers. I'm dropping a character everywhere back there, am I doing that right?
On being weak:
I make sure I only buy organic foods after buying one round of regular food (to get the trophy). My families that eat organics don't seem to get as sick and weak. I also stock up on fruits and vitamins for when they get older.
Cybdonna -
About the red ball:
You don't get the ball by dropping someone in the area, you get it by grabbing the area with your hand/pointer, like you are grabbing one of your peeps. Put the hand/pointer in the area, click on the mouse and pull.
About mods:
You can go to the official game website (last day at work) and go to the forums. On the main forums page scroll down to the bottom and there are forums there with mods for the games. There are posts with advice for downloading and installing mods and posts full of screen shots of the available mods. I really like all the Lemora mods myself. However, be advised when doing this, make sure you backup your game image files first! These are fan generated changes and may not work properly.
Another funny dying story!
My female parent died and I looked for the male parent, but couldn't find him. But there was somebody in the shower. I assumed it was him, but he never came out. After a while, I checked Details and it showed both my adults were dead (they are greyed out when they die). So I think the husband may have died in the shower! Creepy! When I started the new generation with one of the kids, the shower was still going. I had to put her in the shower to get whoever was in there out. She came out of the shower and it shut off. Weird!
Also, a tip:
If you decide to start a new generation and you still have one parent in the house, make sure they complete a work cycle if their profession is either in the kitchen or the workroom. Otherwise their stuff is left on the countertop and you can't get rid of it. Eventually someone will decide to clean the kitchen counters, but it takes forever.
Thanks Grinnyp!
On the topic of the store not refreshing Did you manipulate the computer clock? When I was changing the time I found that my store was not refreshing.
Don't manipulate the clock just let things happen naturally
One other thing alway buy the bottle of rain. I usually wait till there are some kids in the family (seems to work better when there are kids around) then use it. I have gotten so many bugs that way and I used to have none.
It seems like there are more other collectables too not just bugs
HAHAHAHHA!! I just did the energy drink and vitamin thing when my adult was dieing!! It's cool! Now i have TWO if the same working on careers and the ghost will prepare a meal and shower etc!!! It's FUNNY!! Now my ghost is working out! I love it!!
Hi, all!
I wanted to make a comment regarding the questions about the patio. I think that when one of the people are enjoying the patio they are eating sushi! I can see a tea set before they use it. Then there are what seems to be chop sticks holding a little round thing while they are sitting...
What do you think?
I really think its a champane bottle but who knows
I keep trying to get the adults to pick up the keys under the welcome mat, but it's saying they're confused and they won't pick them up? What do I do?
The parents that I adopted have tried 4 times to make a baby after they had two kids, and all 4 times, nothing happened! no more babies. they are only 30 and 27 years old....
Regarding the Using the Patio...
I see chopsticks holding a piece of sushi over wasabi. But, it's what I would enjoy so that's what I see!
What do you mean when you say you are downloading mods I would love to do that if I knew how. Can you explain what that is and how you do it Please share I'm getting a little board with the game waiting on the chance to get a trophy. Sounds fun...Let us in on how your doing that!
About the key
You have to fix the doorknob first. You can find it in the children's sandbox. Drop your person on it and wait for them to go to the shed and fix it. Make sure you don't interupt them (like praise) When they are finished you should see the knob on the door. Only then you can drop your person on the welcome mat to get the key.
Hope that helps

Has anyone found a second red ball? Someone mentioned it a few days ago and I've looked but only have 1.
Also, one of my families has really lost the remote. It's not anywhere in the house, I've looked everywhere but it is gone. I've tried restarting my computer - any other suggestions?
I've enjoyed the comments here - this game really gets personal after awhile!

Shauna - If you are running Windows check your Accessories and see if you have one called Snipping Tool. You can use that to get a screenshot.
I don't see that anywhere grinnyp but I was just going to take a screenshot of a mod house, I think people would like to see how beautiful it makes the house look with all the flowers, plants, rugs and ect. Maybe you could post it since you know how.
Shauna -
Here's some screen shots of the mods I've installed:
Once again I must reiterate: If you are going to play with mods please be sure to back up your original image files! If something goes wrong and you don't have those backups to restore the game to the original settings you may end up having to completely reinstall the game, and that may mess up any games in progress. Play with caution!
Help! My mother is 56 and became "extremely weak" and i cant pick her up anymore (although she's still doing stuff around the house) and the dad became really depressed really fast. the kids all went to college.What can i do?
I bought the waterproof tape and used it on the hose but didn't put a person by the sink to get a drink before that. There isn't a puddle of water by the hose anymore but it isn't fixed cause I still can't use the hose to mix the wall compound and water the flowers. What do I do?
I just started playing this 2 days ago, but what do you all mean when you talk about having numerous familys? can you have more than one?
Grinnyp, your mods are great! could you please let me know how you got them? thanks
Ariel -
When you try to water the flowers or use the wall compound what do you do? Do you get any message when you try?
Missy -
I got the mods at the Last Day at Work website in their forums section.
To Stacory:
Your question about multiple families is answered in the FAQ located at the top of this page.
To Angela and Grinnyp:
Thanks for the max salaries. I was just thinking that I should put together a list of jobs and salaries. That will be a very good start! :)
To Ella:
For weakness -
Give vitamins and fruit. Make sure there's plenty of food and that your people are fed. Time will take care of the rest.
For depression -
Give treats and praise often. Purchase upgrades for the house. These help make your people happier.
To Ariel:
Does the tape still show up beside the hose? If so, just follow the instructions in the walkthrough under the spoiler for Repairs.
Nothing happens. When I try to water the flowers I put them on the path by the window boxes but nothing happens and no message appears either. And I already bought the wall compound stuff and put it by the bucket, then I put a person by the compound and nothing happens either.
To Ariel:
Does the tape still show up beside the hose in the back?
Ariel -
To water the flowers:
You need to drop them on the watering cans in the shed, not the path by the flowers. See the walkthrough for more details.
For the wall compound:
You need to drop them on the green bucket, not the wall compound itself. Again, see the walkthrough for more details.
Hi I'm just wondering is there a limited amount of genorations you can have or is it just as many as you want?
Also is there any way that you can have twins or triplets purposely?
To Melissa:
I think the generations may go on indefinitely. I'm on my six generation on one family and don't see any indication that there's a limit.
Twins and triplets seem to be random. However, it just makes sense that they would need to happen during the early stages of the family. I mean, if you've got five kids already, you certainly won't get twins or triplets because that would put you over six children and the game won't allot it.
How do you make your families watch movies? They watch tv together, but no movies. Does anyone know the answer?
To Metonto:
You purchase a DVD movie from the store. Give it to an adult and all the kids will come watch the TV with you.
Pam -
About the triplets, I think you're right. The only time I got them was a young couple on the first try for kids.
I have a bit of a conundrum. I opened one of my families and found a wrapper sitting on the desk in my office! Every time I try to drop someone on it to pick it up they try to fix the computer, get on the internet, etc. Help! :-)
Its very easy to get mods Go to the lastdayofwork website close to the top you will see forums. After you click forum list Then scroll all the way down to the bottom and you will see there you will see the mod forums. Remember to read the instructions first before starting It will tell you how to back up your current images so in case there is a problem you have a back up
Ok I'm ready to catch a ghost. My person is very old and I have the vitimins and energy drink. Do I have to follow him around and wait till he passes or can I just close then open later. Thoes of you that were sucessful I was wondering when you opened the program and seen that the person was laying on the bed did you pause the game? It happens so fast I just need some details.
As your person is dieing, wait until you see their ghost rise, then slam a energy drink down them! I closed the game when they were nearing 60, when you reopen it, u will see them lieing there in repose,you must do the energy drink before you get the death notice, move quick! LoL hope it works for ya! It really is cool!
Thanks missy I'll let you know what happens!
To grinnyp:
The only thing I can think of to get that wrapper is to wait until you get the random event for the cleaning service.
I love all of the Last Day of Work games! I am enjoying this game just as much. I prefer not to use the spoilers if I can get away with it - so far so good! I am still on my first family with one family member left at the age of 60 and healthy so far! I have 58 trophy's, 12 coins, 11 nuts and twigs, 8 picture pieces and 5 bugs.
I do have one problem though, my store has stopped refilling (it has been 4 days and counting). The only updates I am getting every so often for the store are the clothes; I have nothing else in it, it is bare except for those 2 items. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?
Thank you for any help you can share.
LDW Keep up the great work!
where do i place the wall repair compound?
cheetos - wall repair compound
Place it next to the sandbox outside - next to the bucket
Greetings, Kayleigh
WHAT THE HECK ARE MODS!!!! sorry, LOLZ i just really wanna know...
im only on my 1st gen and all the kids are girls, and no twins, triplet etc. i evem used the baby thingymabob in the store! Their names are-
And lucola also the moms name is fabula notice all the names of GIRLS have an a at the end!! Weird huh?
One more thing, how long do the kids stay in collage?
VVL: If you look 8 posts up from your post asking what they are, there are detailed instructions I gave missy.
Mods are short for modification files. They are image files that replace the original files. They can make a bed marroon or a couch burgandy and so on. There are many different mods that just change the way things look on your game. I love the change. It's pretty easy if you follow the instructions. Take a look at a previous post made by grinnyp. She made screen shots of her mod house to give you an idea of what they look like.
Give it a try, it's fun.
There is no mod forms
This is the link to the forums
scroll all the way to the bottom where it says game mods
Then click on the virtual families mod
Follow the instructions on how to backup your file first!!!
Then enjoy
To Cher:
You have a bug. The cure is to tap the R key while you're on the store screen. It should refresh and get back on the four hour schedule.
To Cheetos:
You can also check the walkthrough located at the top of this page. Look under the spoiler for Repairs.
To VirtualVillagerLover:
Be sure to use caution if you decide to try the mods. Follow all the instructions that have been posted, most importantly the part about backing up the original images. Use the mods at your own risk because you won't be able to get any support for the game from the site you purchased it from once you've modified it. Sort of like voiding the warranty. :)
As for college, the kids stay in college for the duration until one of them is chosen to continue the new generation.

Cutler Cleared To Start Vs. Vikings
November 24, 2012 1:34 PM
http://cbschicago.files.wordpress.co...ler1.jpg?w=300 Jay Cutler. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
CHICAGO (CBS) – Looking to bounce back from last week's dismal 32-7 loss to the 49ers, the Bears will have Jay Cutler back under center against the Vikings on Sunday.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Cutler has passed the various concussion tests this week, and will start on Sunday.
"Cutler has come through the concussion tests and practice and passed all protocols," La Canfora wrote.
Cutler missed Monday's game against the 49ers, and backup Jason Campbell was sacked six times en routehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png to a 32-7 drubbing by San Francisco. Cutler suffered a concussion two weeks ago against the Texans, missing the second half of that game, a 13-6 loss.
Earlier this week, Cutler said latest concussion wouldn't change his style of play.
"Going forward, I'm going to play the same way I play," Cutler said. "And hopefully I don't get anther concussion.
Hot dam!!!
ask and ye shall receive
Now,just do what you have to do,to keep Jared Allen off him..
Finally some positive things around here.
Good to see him back in there.

Sparked by his own personal experiences from extensive travel in countries and regions such as India, Bangladesh and South America, Heinemann shows viewers the potential dark side of the microcredit phenomenon. He also highlights human tragedies, such as suicides that have resulted from the pressure of personal debt or the social exclusion that can ensue when individual misfortune places a borrowing group in jeopardy.
Broadcast in more than 14 countries, the documentary has achieved truly global resonance – a fact attested to by the numerous subsequent official investigations into microcredit. The Grand Jury noted that 'millions are affected by Heinemann's story' and commended the journalist for 'challenging our way of thinking.'
The idea of providing credit to the poor – who can usually offer little or no collateral in return – was introduced and popularised by Nobel Laureate, Muhammad Yunus, in the 1970s and has been employed to great effect in Bangladesh, for example. Behind the veneer of success, however, Heinemann identifies a shocking undercurrent of debt dependency, as the financial institutions and other bodies set-up to provide microcredits hound their debtors.
The fundamental tenet of microcredit – to provide cheap finance to entrepreneurial individuals in developing countries – is questioned and Heinemann forces his viewers to consider whether the premise that anyone can be an entrepreneur is no more than a hopeful fantasy, instead often ending in an inescapable spiral of debt.
Tom Heinemann's television documentary on microcredit is a shining example of world-class investigative journalism, challenging entrenched assumptions and debunking what the journalist characterises as 'the myth of microcredit as a one-stop solution to poverty'.

New Option to Keep Intoxicated People from Driving"Tipsy Tow" gets you and your car homeANCHORAGE - Law enforcement is stepping up its drunk-driving patrols for the holidays, so smart drinkers will make sure they have a designated driver. There's also the "Off the Road" option – the program that takes would-be drunken drivers and their vehicles home safely, for free. It's available year-round, a new program has just started this weekend: Anchorage restaurant and bar owners will be offering the holiday version, called "Tipsy Tow,' which will be available until the end of the year. "Tipsy Tow" is designed to reduce drunken driving, and it's sponsored by the Anchorage Cabaret, Hotel, Restaurant and Retailers Association, or "CHARR." The new service will tow your vehicle home while you ride along in the cab with the tow truck driver. "We've worked very hard to get the word out that it's much cheaper to take a cab, it's safer for everyone involved, than it is to get a DWI. The expenses are tremendous," said Darwin Biwer, owner of Downtown bar Darwin's Theory and a member of Anchorage CHARR. Both Triple A and Vulcan Towing are working with more than 150 restaurants, hotels, and bars that are part of Anchorage CHARR. Again, while the "Off the Road" taxi program runs year-round, the "Tipsy Tow" service runs through January 1. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Sunday, Dec 16 at 11:25 AM I sure hope this is a huge success in Anchorage. My niece and her husband tried doing the same thing after thier son was killed by a drunk driver in Arizona. After a year of trying thier best, they shut it down because it was a huge failure. People refused to be "embarrased" at being driven home, and even worse driven back to thier cars the next day. They were not going to be seen as alcoholics and because they would be frequently using this free program. I wish much success for you, and the safety of all on the streets. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Dec 16 at 10:59 AM Its great to see some energy and effort put towards helping people who might make a poor decision that can destroy there lifves and sometimes others. there has been so much effort to demonise and criminalise over the years. Not defending drunk driving but I have seen people who have made a bad decision due to the loss of inhiitions that come from drinking have there lives destroyed over driving while drinking. Worse of course is when other peoples lives are destroyed as a result. But there needs to be efforts like this as an alternative to people throwing the dice and loosing and having the harshest of all penalties as a result. Clearly thats not the only solution. The deterant of punishment. Many people think "Im fine" or they dont want to leave there car over night or have to get it the next day. These are good options to make it harder for people to resist not getting behind the wheel. Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a commentMost Popular

By Here's the ReaaaL Scoop...
from B'more Maryland
Great product and Great on the skin , after you use the aloe vera type you dont even need to lotion or moisturize your handz and here's a great inside scopp (Tip)...This is also fabulous for baths .... pour it in the bath while water is running (Makes great bubbles) ... and when you get in ... the water is nice and smooth , when you get out your skin is soft and smooth , moisturized all over and the scent is great and also Eliminates any Bath Tub Ring !Suggestion is use about a quarter to half cup to full cup in the bath... depending on how high you fill yur bath.

We have used this product for years and it is the best on the market and Quill sells it for less.We live in the desert SW and this is the hand soap to use.
Good Product
By Satisfied Quill Customer
from Northern CA
I've been buying this product for years. The design makes the dispenser easy to handle and store. This is one of the few products that is not anti bacterial and does not cause me an allergic reaction.You only need a very small amount to wash your hands. I am very pleased about that.The only problem I have with it, which is a small thing. It takes a lot of rinsing to get it off of your hands.
I would buy this product again.
