    The owner, who has a history of working in the mining industry,

    Could be possible the owner wanted to make sure he had plenty of dynamite on hand so when he got a head ache he wouldn't have to go to the store just down into the basement for a nibble of dynamite.

    I have heard of a wife of an officer washing his gun in a dishwasher.

    Husband had to buy his wife a new dishwasher.

    She was lucky it didn't hurt her just killed the dishwasher.

    What I have to ask myself is how did a 17yr old get a gun?
    Isn't there a law that a person has to be 21 before they can buy a gun?

    THis is all well and good. But there are still a whole lot of people out there who are unemployed and underemployed. THis has to get better for Bush to win next year.

    OH! What you mean it's next year?????
    Wonder if it's going to become a cirus like last election.

    Oh Joy!

    I feel sorry for the poor Tom, Dick and Harry that their unemployment ran out.

    Figures always look good on paper just wished thoses guys that made those numbers look real pretty had a clue what was going on in the real world.

    Guess I need to buy some bullets for the rifles so my hubby can go out hunting those wild animals. Anyone got a good recipe for wolf stew?

    Guess I need to hunt up an old man that survived the depression for some good recipes. I didn't really like eating rock stew back in the 80's

    Makes me wonder why people are screaming and yelling cause companies are moving out of the united states.

    This is just one of the many examples why the companies are leaving.

    The best evidence is to be seen first hand.
    When you get a chance, you come to Sulphur, Oklahoma.
    Plan to spend about two weeks, and don't forget to bring your bible.

    When you get here make sure you are carrying your bible out in public so people can see it. Either in hand or under your arm.

    It may take a couple of days of you walking around with your bible in hand but somebody is bound to tell you.
    That if your going to carry your bible with you. Do so with it concealed in your jacket or brief case.
    Cause it's against the law for a person to carry their bible in hand in the public.
    And I'm told that law was placed in the books when my father was a child.

    Did I carry my bible to church in hand as a child? Yes!
    Did anyone pull me aside as a child and tell me I can't carry my bible in public? No.

    It seems something like this would be newsworthy.

    Sounds crazy? :-0
    Do you know all the laws that are on the books in your county?
    Ever looked into what it takes to have a law ammended?
    Why aren't the people doing something?
    Beats me. But then I hadn't heard about the carrying lawing until about two weeks ago. When a friend who is a witness came to visit, and was asking if we knew about the law.

    Pray belongs back in the school. And I hope someone will come along who cares enough and can get others to care so they can get through all the red tape to get pray back in all the schools across the united states.

    What happens if I pick up a Mach 3, then put it on another shelf in the store? Am I targeted as a thief?

    My understanding a person has to walk out of the store without paying for an item for it to be classified as shop lifting.

    Don't be a sap.

    When you go to a store how do you pay for your items?
    Have you ever been asked by a cashier for your id, phone #, social securtiy #? Why do they need all that info?
    Do you own one of those cars that if it gets stolen it can be tracked?

    Inventions are nice they improve our life style, But how often does an invention fall into someone's hands that see it as a means to gain power over others?

    Look at the atomic bomb, the inventor never intended it to be used as an weapon.

    Lots of Indian casinos there, aren't there?

    The Indians have bingo houses and smoke shops.

    Casinos? I know in the smoke shops they had some quarter machines that were pull-tab cards you could buy. But they aren't in the smoke shop any more.
    I know Oklahoma banned various machines from being used.
    How it affected the bingo houses I have no idea cause I don't like bingo so had no desire to go in and look around.

    My theory is "those Yankee gals" don't know how to act around a Southern Gentleman. Ever had a woman get mad at you for opening the door?

    Well she had to be a Yankee gal cause a Southern gal just smiles and says thank you.

    We also say "thank you", "you're welcome" , hold doors open, and help little old ladies across the street

    The old ways aren't dead in the South. A male is still taught to treat all females like a lady.
    If a male in the South tries to hurt a female in public.
    Look out!
    Cause no true Southern will sit by and watch a male try to hurt a female.

    but the Sulsberger family controls its board of directors

    Interesting.

    Why is it that something(board of directors) that was created for the good of a company ends up in such a mess?

    If man has not learned by now that controlling a woman's mind is a futile goal, then he may just try to build one of those contraptions.

    giggles

    If they are going to waste the money why don't they build something that zaps P.M.S. instead of 'mind control'
    Wouldn't the males be so much happier?

    As the old Sarge said, "Get 'em by the balls and their minds will follow."

    Well that would work on males real well but what about the females? We don't have balls.

    I recommended that he contact Oscar Goldman at OSI. I told him that if Oscar wasn't around that he might try Steve Austin. He seemed to be a satisfied customer.

  • Refusing help, woman gives birth aboard Train

    At one point, Judge took some nearby newspapers and placed them on the floor to soak up the blood. Some witnesses heard Judge apologize for the mess. After leaving the train and heading for the stairs up to the station's main lobby, witnesses said, the placenta fell to the platform. Judge turned around, grabbed the afterbirth, put it in her shoulder bag, and headed upstairs.

    "She just literally picked it up with her hand and put it in some kind of bag she was carrying, and this was in mid-stride . . . It was the craziest thing I've ever seen," said Robert Busby, of Weymouth.


    How embrassing!!!
    All those people staring and mumbling among each other as they watched!!!
    That baby was ready to come into the world and she was stuck on a train among a bunch of strangers!
    The craziest thing is why didn't someone who realized what was happening get over there and catch the baby?
    If I was having my baby on the train in the middle of a load of strangers I would be looking out the window wishing I was in a hospital room or anywhere else where there wasn't an audience!!!!!

    Living in a Motel 6?
    I have to say a Motel is much better living then in a car.
    Do we really know anything about her before she gave birth on the train?
