I deserved that ticket, geez...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 22 Oct 09

For years I was one of those obnoxious people who never got a ticket. And then one morning, coming off of a bad night's sleep, and knowing there was a cop behind me, I made a left turn way to closely in front of an oncoming car....

tankermone lol I once got a ticket for bald tires, no, I didn't have bald tires and didn't get the ticket for that either, but I was pulled over for the bald tires. Seems a CHP officer was just looking to write tickets one day, and pulled me over because he could tell my...

Rookie Mistake

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 12 Oct 09

I'm a fairly seasoned traveler. I fly at least a couple of times a year most years. And since I've moved from Los Angeles to Sacramento, I've flown quite a lot. The first year after I moved up here I flew down there and other...

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 8 Oct 09

tankermone I actually believe most of the news media should take jobs at seafood joints, as I refer to them as chowderheads, because they have no clue about reality! The left, liberal bias of the media, points out the hypocrisy in their thinking, as, like you put it,...

WHY YOUR COMPUTER CRASHES. What do you do?

cloudwatcher @cloudwatcher (6861) • Australia 9 Oct 09

I received this in an email a few years ago and found it while clearing out files. Very cleverly put together, though a bit out-of-date now, it is still quite amusing. If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the...

I was leaving the lunch room today and on my way out, I saw a trash can with a sign on it, "solar trash compactor". And I thought that was a really cool idea. Of course, it was just after high noon and the [u]solar trash...

tankermone There is a search underway right now which is seeking for proof of the 13th Amendment, but not the one we were taught! This 13th Amendment was instituted back in the early 1800s and was to require that no one in public office could be a lawyer or have...

Donna01 @Donna01 (42) • United States 11 Aug 09

Supposedly, they have increased the pandemic flu fear alert to Phase 6 , which is the equivalent of the U.S. Homeland Security Code Red warning of an imminent terrorist attack. These shots are being fast tracked through the FDA...

tankermone The swine flu was blown out of proportion to justify a pandemic. Some facts, 1500 people die from regular flu every year in this country, and the swine flu killed by 30. How is this a pandemic? Another fact, 12 times as many have died from the shot to stop the...
