Clear your browser's cache and see if that solves the problem...
Didn't work. It's been like this after I last ran CCleaner. What was strange that a lot of the sites I visit asked me to log in even though I have it set to stay logged in.
Maybe try a system restore point from before you had any problems?...

:cry: My headphones are messed up. The long cord (seriously, who the fuck thought that was a good idea?) got caught on something and now, I'm only getting sound from the right side.

:) I (hopefully) get my unemployment money tomorrow, so I can just buy another pair of headphones. I also gotta talk to my boss about emptying out my 401k (we need the money for the move), and I also gotta buy more totes.

I haven't seen Noise on RFGen lately either... maybe he's just been busy?
I heard he's on vacation with Dave and his dead boss' corpse on a tropical island.

Doesn't sound like you're making good financial decisions. I wouldn't be buying anything non-essential if you're not working. It's also a bad idea to be emptying your 401k.

Agree, not too mention, taking anything out of your 401K is essentially kicking the can down the road, since you'll have to claim it all as non-taxed income next tax season, which is only compounding what appear to be some financial hiccups. I'd look at any other alternatives you may have, but def. don't be buying anything that isn't a need atm.

I haven't worked since just after Thanksgiving, which is NOT my fault. And I'm only emptying my 401k because we need the money to move to Orlando. Essentially, none of us have worked in months, except for my brother's girlfriend and that's not much. And we're trying to make it so we can be ahead instead of behind, and any money that comes our way is gonna help.

In fact, our financial dire straits is what is driving us to Orlando. My mom and my brother's girlfriend are already employed by Disney World, and the rest of us (me and my brother) are already looking into jobs. I've found two jobs on Craigslist, but am not hinging everything on them. One's a job acting in infomercials and the other involve being a trivia host, and iirc, one of them pay about $400-800 a week. But since I plan on moving to New York City by October at the latest, I plan on working as many jobs as I can.

And my headphones are fucked up and they sell deeply-discounted ones for $3 (marked down from the $20s range) at the local electronics store.

Why not move to a slightly more rural area? Cost of living would likely be much lower.

Orlando is cheap, and there are jobs to be had there. Not very many, but they exist. The problem though is the commute, and gas isn't that cheap right now. NYC is way too expensive, but there are jobs here aplenty.

REPO Man, what kind of job are you looking for in Orlando? I can ask around to see if anyone I know knows of anyone who's hiring.
