Alford the African American who slapped down BoToxer is on BOR tonight
Ewe FRUM, I meant to sat from. oooopppppsssyyy
We don’t know the exact circumstances, but he left his post and was unauthorized to do so. I have somewhat mixed feelings about all the outpouring of concern, except for his family.
We all are concerned. We need him back safe and sound.
Then we need to go kick some effing ass!!!
Then the family needs to slap Stupid silly cause they didn’t want this out in the open like this....
Now Stupid will kiss ass and be a puss while this kid’s life is on the line. But I’m sure the family of Stupid has a nice out of town activity planned for this weekend. That is more important, you know.
Thanks!
Mom just got home. She said her temperature cage in the car was going up on the way home. She just had a oil change not to long ago but the change oil light is coming on.
Thoughts?
#W$%@$* right.
US financial market bailout tab hits $4.7 trillion

WASHINGTON The federal government has devoted $4.7 trillion to help the financial sector through its crisis, a level of assistance equal to about one-third of the overall U.S. economy, a watchdog report said Monday.
Under the worst of circumstances, the report said, the government’s maximum exposure could total nearly $24 trillion, or $80,000 for every American.
The figures are part of a tough new quarterly report to Congress from special inspector general Neil Barofsky, who accuses the Treasury Department of repeatedly failing to adopt recommendations aimed at making one component of the government financial rescue effort more accountable and transparent.
The $4.7 trillion commitment to the industry takes into account about 50 initiatives and programs set up since 2007 by the Bush and Obama administrations as well as by the Federal Reserve. Barofsky oversees one of the initiatives the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Much of the government assistance is backed by collateral and Barofsky’s $23.7 trillion estimate represents the gross, not net, exposure that the government could face.
Because of declining participation in short-term loan programs and because some infusions of money have been repaid, the maximum amount actually spent has declined to a current outstanding balance of $3 trillion, Barofsky said.

Are you stalking me?
Whoa doggies!
The guy who put the new filter on didn’t check it for leaks.
Shit.
Also, don’t drive it anymore until you find out why the oil light is coming on. Is the oil level up to the full mark on the dipstick (you know, the one in the car, not the ones in Washington)
Check the oil level immediately. I would hope that they put in the right amount of replacement oil. Alternately, check to make sure the drain plug is not stripped letting the oil drip out. When the engine is cool, check to see if there is oil in the radiator (unlikely anything to do with the oil change but real bad news if present).
She hit something and it may have caused a leak underneath.
That happened to me once. I ran into a steel pipe on the freeway(I couldn’t steer clear of it)and ended up busting the fuel line.
I’d have her check underneath, and quick too...
There are only 2 things that get removed in an oil change. The filter and the drain plug. If everything was fine before the last oil change then the problem is in one of those two places.
I once left the old gasket in when I replaced filters... but you’ll know it when you start the engine...oil will massively leak. Same if the filter is crossthreaded or not tight.
Like CD said, check the drain plug as well for crossthreading.
Just don’t run the car until you are sure oil is staying in the engine.
