I need to know for an assignment. Weird, I know, but I want to make a point.

Best answer:

Being very old, I never saw a bar code until maybe the late 70′s.

Can you get a camera installed in an iPod Touch or are they creating an iPod Touch with a camera?

Can you get a camera installed in an iPod Touch or are they creating an iPod Touch with a camera?
Is there anyway to buy an iPod Touch and have a camera installed in order to use apps like the barcode finder and such? Can you still use the barcode thing with an iPod Touch by uploading a pic of a barcode? Will they ever create an iPod Touch with a camera?! I can’t wait any longer!!

Best answer:

I don’t know yet but theres Evernote you can take a picture with it

How do I get a job when they only acccept online applications?

How do I get a job when they only acccept online applications?

Like at Home Depot, or Radio Shack. You can’t apply in person, you have to go online, and I don’t know if they even see my application. When I was in the navy my whole job was parts, Ordering, labeling, recieving, inventorying etc. I know I could do these jobs if I could just talk to the person that does the hiring.

How many tattoos do you have? What are they?

How many tattoos do you have? What are they?

I started getting tattoos way before they were trendy. Haha.

I have a cross on my left ribcage, for my faith

My fiancée’s name on my neck, I knew I was going to marry her when I got the tattoo (I was 14)

“Marriage is not slavery; it is not intended to tie one down” on my ring finger, I didn’t mean that you shouldn’t not be loyal, but that you shouldn’t prevent each other’s accomplishments. My first wife sucked.

I have my daughter’s foot prints from when she was 1 year old on my right shoulder

Phantom, my nickname going across my stomach

A pistol on my hip because I have always been fascinated with guns and weaponry

A biohazard symbol on my bicep because I’m “dangerous to other people” because of my mental disorders

The Japanese flag for my culture on my right leg

On my left arm it says in Japanese “we can cast each other out, but in our own special ways, all of us are freaks”

I have the symbol for the Famous Stars and Straps brand because the creator of it was the guy who influenced me to start drumming. It’s on my left shin.

On my left arm, it says “our scars are the reminders of the battles we win against ourselves” because I hurt myself a lot as a kid

On the heel of my right foot, I have a barcode. The numbers are my birthday. My friends and wife each have one of their own.

That’s a grand total of 12 for me. I don’t plan on stopping getting them any time soon.

What are your tattoos? If there is a meaning behind them, what is it? Thank you.
The number of tats I have also represents the number of years I’ve been friends with my fiancée and our friends

What is the difference between vinyl and pleather? Or are they the same thing with a different names?

I want to sew a vest, I want to use artificial leather, but dont know the correct pleather or vinyl to get because of the way it is labelled!! Are they both the same thing?

Why do they put those sticky labels directly on fruit?

Why do they put those sticky labels directly on fruit?

Especially soft fruit that you don’t peal, like plums.
What’s next….every peanut will have a sticky label?
I know….’peel’
Thanks everybody.
Stupid question….now that I think of it.

I bought my kitties a huge cat tower, and they show zero interest.. why?!?

February 15th, 2011 at 08:48am Under Forum

I bought my kitties a huge cat tower, and they show zero interest.. why?!?

So, I have 3 young kitties (all under 1 year with the oldest being 11 months)

All 3 are kittens (older kittens, but kittens) and they still act as if they are 2 months old when it comes to playing non stop!

A Petco store was going out of business for the past couple of weeks last month and I was in there about 10 times buying stuff for my dogs and ferret mainly.. i kept going back to the cat condos/trees since they were selling them dirt cheap and they were selling quick!

I finally got talked into getting one (I was on the fence because I wasn’t sure if they’d play on it). It was cheap for how big it is, so I went ahead and got it. (I got it for 0 and it was originally priced at 9.99.)

Its a big one. Its 6 feet tall, it has 2 little caves to sleep/hide in,and 3 perches to sleep/stand/sit on. Also at the tippy top it has a round bed for them to curl up in and a 2 feather like toys hanging from string.

I have had it 2-3 weeks and they show VERY little-zero interest in it! My fiance told me I should put it on craigslist and sell it.. but I am still holding on to hope that they are going to eventually wind up using it.

I don’t understand, and am confused as to why they don’t like it.. They CONSTANTLY play on my 5 foot fake tree in my living room, they seriously play on it as if it were a Kitty tree.. they also played in my Christmas tree too!

They sleep on my bed/couch/dog beds/even in my linen closet up on one of the shelves with towels..

My ferret has been on it and slept on it more than my cats! lol.

I try picking them up and placing them on it, but they just jump right off! It almost makes me sad in a way, I know that sounds off.. but it does! I kinda wanted to see them enjoy it and use it.

I have some dogs that like to chase them around, so I definitely thought they’d like to escape them by getting high off the ground from them.. but nothing yet. I even tried putting some catnip on it.. to no avail. :(

2 of them actually look like they are curious about it, they just stand and look at it sometimes.. but never go on it.. weird lol.

SO, any ideas as to why they don’t like it? Any way I can get them to like it? Should I give it some more time, or should i go ahead and get my money back by selling it on craigslist (can’t take it back to the Petco since its out of business and other petco’s wont take it back since when i bought it.. they colored over the barcode.)

Thanks for any/all advice!

If a store has something out on the floor before release date…aren’t they obligated to sell it to you?

If a store has something out on the floor before release date…aren’t they obligated to sell it to you?

I was at a local Toys R Us and they had the new Nerf Raider gun out on the floor. I thought it was released on the 4th, but I know that Nerf sometimes releases things early, so I grabbed the two on the shelf and went to check out and I was right, they aren’t released till the 4th. Then the cashier called her manager and she came up and snatched them away without even so much as an apology!

I’ve worked in retail for quite awhile and whenever that has happened to us, we were forced to sell the item. Even if there was a block on the barcode, we sold the item under a generic one and then corrected it in the system later on.

Just curious as to what proper procedure is.

Could someone steal my tickets if they get a photo of the bar codes?

Could someone steal my tickets if they get a photo of the bar codes?

Photos of some tickets I own have found their way onto the internet, and I was wondering if people could actually take the bar codes and do something with them. I’m worried because these were very expensive and I don’t want to show up and be told that they’re void or someone has already used the same bar codes.

As an HHP, I just wonder what the rest of you think.
