And we'll talk about nits to pick and not have a guns debate.
Back in College..I used to work in a retail store with a friend of mine..we used to have price gun fights! dodging behind the counters and display's pretending we were in a gun fight! LOL !! I was so immature back then
When I was right out of high school, I had a job in retail (which is why I don't now ) and we had those plastic price guns that had perforated paper labels on a roll and we'd hand price all the inventory. There were no barcodes or rf tags. We never had gunfights, though.
Now I manage an inventory control system in our warehouse with MC9190 scanners that are pretty much a computer in a gun with laser scanners built in. If any of the warehouse staff would ever consider having a gunfight with those (about $1,800 each) they'd find a nice note from HR in their next paycheck ... on pink paper.

actually I think these were used to put tags on clothes! It was at a clothing store...but laser guns sound way more fun
I also worked at a dry cleaners at the counter with my best friend in High school..after school some days.. and on Saturday's...I can't even believe some of the The things we used to do!
2 sixteen year old girls..(and she was even crazier than I ) we worked alone Saturday's...just us..no boss..nobody else there...just us...I'm almost embarrassed to admit some of the stunts we pulled! What were we thinking!!!

Well the public transportation system fails me again. I missed my transfer to the second bus on the way to work. Now I'm late, again.
I moved 6 years ago. I can go upstairs and look out the window and see the building I work in.
Though the city changed the timing for the intersection where the street between my house and work meets a main road so the green light stays about three seconds or just long enough so the red light runners on the main road get through and one or two cars on my street can get through. So my street backs up and if I drive and leave around 5:00 it still takes me 30 minutes to get across the street.

Today has so far gone bad. But I hope for the best with my Chemistry test and College Success class.
Okay so, I been ranting and raving bout this test the last 2 weeks. I promise I'll stop. (Until the next test that is hehe)
So I wake up at 4 am to study for this test and study for 2 hours all chemistry. I relax and have some coffee. 8 cups of coffee to be exact.
I go outside to start my car scrape the windows with a CD because I have no heat sadly. Gotta do what I gotta do. I pull out and drive out of the ally and the whole time I feel like I'm driving on snow, which was odd because there was no show. I put it in park and look at the tires. Mind blown, I have a flat tire ! I'll rant about that later because I know why!
I park the car on the street and run home and wake my brother up so he can drive me. He has a stick shift and I have very little experience driving that.
I got to school and everything I studied for chemistry, valance electrons, ionic, molecular bonding, structures, ions, isotopes, electronic configuration, shells, just about everything was NOT on the test and the thing I studied the least (chapter 5 naming polyatomic compounds) was 80% of the test. I swear, I feel like an idiot because I over studied the material that was not on the test. (It was a little but only like 10 recognized questions). I know so much about everything else but it was basically useless. I feel like shouting at the teacher and telling her to rewrite a better test that actually includes the material covered in the chapters.
(Am I complaining because it was easy? Shut up Curtis you did fine)
Okay so I don't know. I hope I did well.
Now about that flat tire.
Its the fault of the city of Skokie. I believe they should pay for the damages their city roads has caused my vehicle. If they don't want to fix their roads they should at least fix my car that their roads cause me. Who agrees? Where is my tax money going? The money that is taken out of my paycheck? Yeah, if FINE with taxes. I'm fine with raising taxes, just DO SOMETHING with my money. Like fix the roads. Fix my car.
Rant over.

FWIW, try a complaint to the mayors office or the DPW/DOT office. Sometimes that is covered under the municipalities' liability insurance though that may vary state to state.

Thanks.
Most towns/cities have the laws written to where they are only liable if they were negligent. They have to be greater then x depth, be reported by y number of people and z days elapsed after the reports.
I just run 8 ply tires so I damage the holes rather then the holes damaging me.

Did that two days ago, still hasn't shown up. As soon as I replace it, it will.
I guarantee you when you find it, it will be in the last place you looked. Otherwise, you're an idiot for continuing to look for something you already found.

"nothing is ever really lost.." my grandmother taught me that...actually she said nothing is ever really lost ..to god..but I think if you just believe it
last time I did this..My cat Malcolm went missing for 3 days...I was crying to my mom on the phone...and she reminded me...I calmed down...just let it go..and believed.."nothing is ever really lost"
less than 5 min later..Malcolm comes strolling up to the back door like nothing ever happened...

I know a song about that....

Amazon prime. Flipping SCAM.

Charging more for items that have free shipping with prime membership sot he price equals out to the same. There are lawsuits going over this too. i just used chrome, signed into prime and did a quick search for women's watches, then copied the specific watch to explorer where i was not signed in. The attached photo shows what I found.
