I've got Dish Network hooked up to 4 TVs in the house. 3 of the 4 are regular TVs. One is HD. The HDTV uses a special HD receiver.

I got home tonight and sat down in front of the HDTV and got no picture. I checked another TV and it worked fine. So I called Dish Networks help line and ran through all the 10 minutes of B.S. to get to where I needed to be for tech support and found out I needed to "reboot" by receiver.

Fine, did that, now I get about 20 channels. Where are the rest of them?

I re-booted again. No change.

I re-booted yet again. Still no change.

Anyone out there have Dish Network's HDTV receiver who can help me out? Worst case scenario I can go back to the wonderful phone system they have but I'd almost rather pull my own teeth.

Suggestions?

people are. The wifey was in a small, as in no dents, and did not disturb the dirt on our truck, accident in November. Yesterday we get a letter from the da's attorney! He did not even check with our insurance company about what would be a settlement for his damaged, OLD car.

The guy was not hurt, he was even directing traffic so that Holly could get back out in the flow when they were done. It is on the accident report that NO ambulance was needed, and minor damage only to his vehicle.

I told my insurance guy we should follow Shakespeares advice, kill the lawyers. Sorry if you are one, but why would someone take a case like this, unless they were going to lie, cheat, steal, or in some other "legal" way get a larger reward than the car is worth.

Thread with this title was discontinued on TBN today. I see DaveNay responded but what was it about?

OK this is serious.

I need you guys to help me get the lovely Mrs_B out of town for a few weeks. And I might add she is not being very cooperative and we have her sister flying in to stay with us for a few weeks over the holidays.

I happened to stumble across another Snow Trac.
And it is FOR SALE too.
And to make it even better, it is right here in Indiana!!!

Now you are all probably thinking that it can't get any better. But you'd be wrong. The Snow Trac for sale is a rare "open top" version of a Snow Trac, made with a long open cabin, and ideal for hauling either people or equipment. Prior to making its way to Indiana, it spent its working life on the sand in the Texas oil fields as a utility vehicle used to transport repair crews and their tools over the shifting sand.

I'm trying to get photos. I already got the price. Asking price is $3500.

The video didn't upload for whatever reason and isn't important, but the audio is...
Sorry dialup folks, might be too big?? Try it anyways

I used to wonder about how much it would take in assets to be financially stable enough to "retire." To get to where working was for entertainment value and if I didn't like it--quit with no bad effects on my life style.

After confusing myself over a bunch of either unobtainable or too easily reached goals. I finally dawned on me how to figure out how much money it took and still allowed for inflation and costs of living in different places.

The key is to have the equivalent money to the value of four houses you could own outright (i.e., no loans)--in the place you want to retire at. One house to live in and the other three houses for their income.

This means that where living is inexpensive, you need less money because houses are cheaper too. But if you want to live in New York city, well too bad, it costs a lot more to retire there.

This doesn't mean you have to have four houses, just one you own outright to live in. The equivalent money [at the time you retire] of the...
