Omigosh, don't click on the link if you're eating! 
That has to be the nastiest thing I have ever seen.  |

| But I think in my case it'd be impossible to prove that I always get fired because "there's something in her we don't like"... That's exactly why I was fired or forced to quit so many jobs -- they didn't like me so they got rid of me. It didn't matter whether I did the job well or not. Arizona is a... |

| I think what he means by the icon is a toolbar. Some programs put their own toolbar at the top of IE. MattShizzle, I agree that you should upgrade to IE7. If Microsoft has stopped doing updates for IE6, then you are extremely vulnerable to an attack -- you could lose your entire computer. What happe... |

| I went to grade school in Guadalupe, which is a small town within the Phoenix metro area which is populated by Yacqui (a Native American tribe in Arizona and Mexico) and Mexicans. At this school, whites were a minority and black people were almost non-existent. There was a lot of racism against whit... |

I believe it. There are people who go to sci fi cons dressed as Klingons and speak nothing but Klingon while in costume, even when ordering food at a restaurant outside of the convention.  |

| What country are you in? In the U.S., if you told them you have a disability and they refused to make reasonable accomodations for you, they are in violation of the law. The whole situation sounds fishy. You were working for them on a trial basis, created logos that they are still using, and then th... |

I think I found something useful.
Try Tools, then Internet Options and click on the Advanced tab. Under Multimedia, uncheck Play sounds in webpages.
I'll let you know if this works or if I run into any problems. |

There's one on WP atm that's driving me crazy. :x I have IE7, I'm not changing my browser, and I hate FireFox, so saying I should get Fir... |

| True, it's easy to damage your hearing by blasting a speaker that's placed directly in your ear. Are you having trouble hearing things? You say you turn the volume down a lot -- most people with hearing loss blast the sound just so they can hear it. Don't just sit there freaking yourself out -- go t... |

Keep trying. It took me many years and many, many jobs to find someplace where my quirks were an assest rather than a liability.
Is it possible for you to relocate? The area you're in is not very friendly towards women. You might get a fairer shake (and possibly benefits) in another country. |

Crocheting is so relaxing and you can just let your thoughts go whilst doing something useful at the same time:) I've just started to learn how to sew and am preparing t... |

| I don't think I've ever been totally without a special interest since I usually have several at once; however, since my special interests do tend to come and go, I do know what it feels like to lose one. It's an odd feeling to be totally obsessed with something for years and then to suddenly not car... |

| Nocturnal Quilter has a blog: http://miles-unfiltered.blogspot.com/ . Fnord has recently made some changes to his profile. He's removed his location, occupation, and interests, and changed his dx to "not sure if I have it or not". Nice to at least know he's okay. Fnord, if you're reading this, come ... |
