  9. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    Atheos replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    First off, that's why you use an unsecured wireless access point for regular surfing and what not. Then they can't ACTUALLY prove it was you. Anyone could have piggy backed on your signal. Secondly,...

    Atheos replied to ari3sdog's topic in General Nursing

    Atheos replied to ari3sdog's topic in General Nursing
