Hi all :) I have a Netflix subscription and I wanted to be able to do the “Watch it now” feature. You have to download the Netflix Movie Player which is a plug-in for Windows Media Player. I did that and it was fine. But every time I try to watch a movie online, it gives me MediaError(1400)...

The reason I ask, is that I'm interviewing with Progressive on Tuesday for a claims adjustor position. It sounds really great, I'm wondering what the catch is. If anyone does this for a living... 1.) what are your likes/dislikes about it? 2.) what kind of character traits would be the...

EDIT: Bleh. Never mind. I didn't look far enough down to see the previous thread. I *did* look, I swear! :P I'll go post there instead.

Hello all! I currently live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I'm 31, engaged to be married in October of this year. I'm currently playing in my fiance's D&D group at our home; I'd like to find an all-female gaming group to play in also. I'm also interested in MMORPG gaming (I'm a veteran EQ player...

My poor tabby Caz has a UTI :( We went to the vet this morning and she said he has lots of blood in his urine and crystals as well. She gave him an antibiotic shot and said I need to give him an antibiotic tablet every day for the next 10 days. Also, she said he needs to get Hill's...

We have to come up with 60 fast and 60 slow songs to be played at our wedding reception, and I've only been able to come up with 25 or so for my side. Suggestions on good romantic songs, both slow & fast, are most welcome! We like: Swing & Big Band Jazz (me) Blues (me) Rockabilly (him) 80s...

So no "24" or season finale of "Grey's Anatomy" for me .. unless when they said 8 on the radio was 8 EST, in which case I should be good. Anyone know what time Le Prez is on tonight?

Just sharing my holiday shopping horror story in the hopes of sparking a few more in response, to make me feel a little bit better. In September of this year, I ordered a meat and cheese basket for my boyfriend’s brother and sister-in law for Christmas (I’m the early bird shopper type). I have...

This was made for me by a friend for a Halloween art trade. I play the character Maitri in EQ, or I did until recently - been too busy to play lately. You really sorta have to be a "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" fan AND an EQ player to find it funny, but god, I laughed so hard I cried. One...

I've recently been having issues with my father. He's a very "difficult" personality; he is overly critical of everything and he is never pleased with anything that a person does. I am a rather laid-back easygoing personality, and it's hard for me to just take his jibes and griping and let it...

I'm not one to be severly disappointed in a movie, however there is one trend in today's filmmaking that I really don't like. It's the trend of directors having the camera jerk around during a battle scene so that you feel like you're "in the middle" of the fight. I'm sure some of you out...

Over the weekend I watched Troy on DVD. I hadn't rented it before because a.) I don't watch movies just because beautiful people are in it (although HELLO Eric Bana!!), b.) I'm not that into historical battle movies, and c.) I managed to avoid reading any Homer in high school or college, and...

There's a woman at work who is starting to become the poster child for my pet peeves. She's constantly saying "Cool beans." Never mind the fact that this phrase is a little dated, it's pretty darn annoying to hear it over and over again all day long. She'll call someone and ask a question...

http://movies.channel.aol.com/franchise/exclusives/chronicles_of_narnia_movie The trailer for the new "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" due out December 9th. Looks GREAT!! Just realized it's been out for a while, I just saw it though. If it's already been posted, apologies :)

While enjoying lunch on Saturday, we realized that there are only a couple of 70's-era old-arena style American rock bands left, one being the Eagles and I forgot what the other one was. We racked our brains all day and couldn't think of any others; he suggested Bruce Springsteen, but he's more...

I watched a very good film over the weekend that somehow slipped through the cracks of popularity, as far as films go. I thought I'd start a thread where folks could submit names of films that are very very good, but that most others haven't seen or heard about. The film I was watching that...

Has anyone watched this crap on MTV? It's like a bad car accident; I can't look away. These morons (I'd be nice and say they're misinformed, but there's no way in today's world that you could realistically think this, unless you're a moron) think that they can be fifty or more pounds...

A local radio station is giving away a life-sized Yoda statue to the person who comes up with the most creative skit using a Star Wars theme that they can perform on the radio. This is what I came up with (critiques aren't necessary since it's already submitted - I just find myself funny so...
