I haven't seen the 3rd one yet. J-L is a bit young to see those movies, so I didn't see it yet. As soon as the price drops on the DVD I will get it and watch it then.


I hat Mickey D's. The grease makes my stomach turn.

 

I think its just me and you that are up Jim.

I just sent you a pm.

Holy crap, you're right Ed. I went back and read most of it. Not all of it mind you...

Boozers, all of ya.

I'm drinking a Pacifico right now.

Ahh.

I love beer.

 

I wish I had one in the house. I do have a couple of samplers of tequila

PATRON SILVER

and something else, someone said it was good stuff.

I just want a freaking cold beer.

ed

 

Know what's a good tequila?

El Jimador.

I could drink that stuff all day.

 

I use to drink the hard stuff many many years ago, just had a bad effect on me.


I got drunk.



so I stuck with beer, then purdy much quit drinking for months on end and now not much any more.

but if I do drink, I stay where I drink. I don't even think about driving.

Jake and Petey pay close attenion. so no drinking and driving. ever!


John aka donut boy, please share on these issue. the stories my wife has told me while she was the crime reporter for the Press Enterprise would make you sick.

ok, community service deed is done.

it's late I think i'm going to go to bed.

Good morning everyone. It's a nice, crisp 37 degrees here this AM. Time to go to work. See ya later.

 

Good Morning all....

 

Good morning everyone.
Thought this might make might make your day-

From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher

My five-year old students are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"

I took a deep breath, then asked...."What did you call it?"

"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"

And so it does....

AFRICAN ELEPHANT

 

Morning all! Hope everyone had a good night. I was back up at the crack of dawn and back at work.

Ed, excellent advice. If you drink, stay where you are or get a cab or DD. I have worked about 10 Drunk Driving fatalities over the past 16 years or so and countless others that involved serious injuries.

Just one time, I'd love to take some of the drunks I deal with to deliver a death notification to a family. Talk about a sobering situation. That's one of the things I hate about this job but have had to do it over and over again. There's nothing worse than going to someone's house at 2 or 3 in the morning and seeing the look on their face when they see me standing at their door. They know it's not good news. To have to tell a mom, dad, son, daughter, or whoever that their loved one is dead is a task I wouldn't wish on anybody. It's one of those things that no matter how you try to approach it, the end result is the same. It's not easy to find the right words and you can't beat around the bush with it. You just have to come out and tell them that you're sorry to have to tell them but so and so just died from injuries resulting from a crash or whatever the case may be.

Not to take away from a family's grief, but this is one of the hardest things a lot of officers have to deal with. You see the entire range of emotions and I've actually had to fight and subdue people that are so distraught that they don't even know what they are doing.

And, the carnage you see in most of these crashes is unbelieveable. I have seen many crashes where body parts have been separated from the bodies. Decapitations, amputated arms, legs, feet, hands, you name it. I've had to deal with drunks wandering out on to railroad tracks and getting run over by trains. Drunks getting obliterated by passing tractor trailers on the interstate. I've pretty much seen it all and there's little that actually shocks me anymore. The absolute worst ones are kids though. Try delivering a death message to a mom or dad about a child that's been killed by a drunk driver or having to deal with people trapped in a car with their dead family members. Yep, been there, done that.

I know it sounds like one of those drunk driving commercials but don't drink and drive...period. I would much rather be able to talk to all of you on here everyday than have to circulate RIP posts and threads about you on here anytime, any day.

 

That's too frican' funny.....Melissa

 

good morning All!

Looks like the late shift slept in and didnt push us over 12,000 posts!

John that is some sobering info!

 

Hey Mark! Yeah, it is and words don't do it justice.

 

I never understood drinking and driving let alone drinking to oblivion. Why do something past the point of enjoyment? (did that just make sense?)

heavy drinking people will never understand the hard core effect a drunk driver has on others. How many times have you heard two DUIs hit each other head on? or a intoxicated man ran a stop sign and hit another intoxicated man who was on his way home from the bar? 99.9% of time it doesnt happen that way. It is a person who was rightfully on the road. Who was not breaking laws. Someone who did not in anyway deserve to die or be injured in that way.
Everyone should be a DD. No one should drink and drive at all. period.

 

The bar I go to for karaoke has a free cab ride hom within 4 miles.
