Did it hurt when they put the leaches on Grampa?? ?

You've managed to spin a tale that starts with a defective thermocoupler, a hot single mom in a tasteful tube top and cutoff shorts heroically trying to save her child, a quick response by first responders while you are recklessly drinking shots of tequila out of the belly buttons of Mexican waitresses and evolves into a cautionary tale of the 911 system? In or about 2005, my son was choking on a piece of candy. I called 911, requested assistance but specificied neither fire nor police, and continued working trying to clear the obstruction. Well, we cleared his airway (or perhaps he just had an overload of chocolate and saliva) and all was well. The 911 system took the first responders to the wrong address, and about 30 minutes later they called to inquire where we lived. I shared my thoughts on the service provided, forcefully, and suggested they needed to do better, aggressively. Nearly 15 years later, I'd follow exactly the same process, though I'd be clear on where exactly the first responder would need to respond to. Sometimes luck is a good thing. True, I would take a chance that the individual who came out would not want to cleave my skull with an axe, or sneak into my backyard and fire upon me as I stood in my kitchen. Imo, however, the rewards outweigh the risk, and it's not even close. It's been estimated there are approximately 240m 911 calls per year, and I'm sure even you would agree that the vast majority do not end up as the horrible incident in Texas ended. Finally, your last paragraph about GGV (Government Gone Wild!) seems to be the argument that gun rights advocates offer when pointing to the need for personal ownership of firearms. I'll consider that. Oh--and I haven't seen anyone blaming the victim, where did you see that?

I think the lesson here is to slow walk the response to phone calls. Settle down, take some time, use the loudspeaker from the relative safety of the car. This will remove any confusion from the process, and keep both the public and the police safe. Also, the media will be able to accurately report on a story instead of running with the most inflammatory version possible.

Maybe. Trump though, is the wild card. I have no doubt the old adage of “mutually assured destruction” keeps a lot of dirty laundry hidden from the American people. I believe that Trump views this as exceptionally personal, and having not cut his teeth in the political realm, isn’t necessarily too concerned one way or the other what the collateral damage is. in addition, Barr seems quite perturbed with the swamp and I think he’s willing to kick a major player in the nuts with steel toed boots. At some point, I think a major player or two gets taken down. I think the reputation of several other players is tarnished, but a deal struck to minimize the real damage. Personally, I think Obama is up to his ears in scandalous behavior including trying to undo the election results of 2016. I think the analysis will be he is too big a fish to fry, and even if he was vulnerable, there’s a whole lot of downside to going after him too hard. then again, I often think that there really is just one major political power in the country, and photos like thus are why. Maybe you are right.

I spoke to a vet today, unrelated to the politics of the day. He volunteered how “amazing” his recent visits to the local VA have been the last couple years. Quite a change from years past, he said.

In any thread...holy crap. Thank God he took time off from terrorizing ordinary citizens to save one.

What does this mean? You wrote it on the 15th of October.

No, I think it's pretty clear it's an advance copy of the defense lawyer's summation before the jury. British. Possum. Swerved. Small road. Trauma. The British are obviously the next disenfranchised people on the list. FREE THE BRITS FREE THE BRITS FREE THE BRITS

Ah, thanks. Didn’t know ant of that. You can always go home again, but a bit of humility and introspection goes a long way.

He received in excess of 60 million votes, all from people wise enough to know his tax returns were irrelevant. Didn’t matter one way or the other, wouldn’t change anything. But now, of course, the opponent is seeking to rewrite the rules, and use every trick in the book to grab his returns. Big govt run amok. Falls right in line with Russiagate, Obstructiongate and ukraineamania. Let’s see how it plays out in the next election—when served up with a healthy dose of declassification of files targeting the enemy.

Or does it?? I’m not going to sleep tonight, that’s for sure.

Ok, now I need to know. Why would jb not make the wall of fame in his former high school? I don’t know much about him, but given that he’s one of the most recognizable names on the entire planet, I’d think he’d qualify. I mean if the guys from nickleback went there, or Alan Thicke is an alum he’d have to wait, but at face value it seems like he’d probably be more famous than the science teacher with the lazy eye who monitored the school dance/hoedown.

That one actually made me laugh pretty hard. It’s like a riddle that I feel like I can solve but it’s just....out......of...reach. I’ve tried rearranging the letters but can only come up with MONO BUT SHOWS PROMISE and ONO’S BUT SHOWS IROMSE and I don’t know what IROMSE means. It’s maddening.

What a horrible story. The officer should answer criminally as the law provides. On the other hand, some would consider it good news that the resistance is fighting back against the "jack booted govt thugs" in a consistent, methodical fashion at the rate of about 1 per week killed. I just sampled a few. https://abcnews.go.com/US/police-officer-shot-parking-garage-maryland-search-suspect/story?id=66261022 https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/01/11/us/female-police-officer-killed/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2019/08/14/6-philadelphia-police-officers-shot-in-philadelphias-nicetown-tioga-section-officials-say/ I don't know how a person who is a cop would ever trust, well, anyone who isn't a cop. *just in case my sarcasm was not clear, I think that Law enforcement officers across the country are under assault from politicians, members of the media and certainly from bad people in general. For every police officer who $%#@s something up there are tens of thousands doing a job most people simply could not do.

“Old from Jamestown” implies you sat across from Lucille Ball at William S. Gunner Elementary. You’re just on the younger side of elderly.

This game seems awfully difficult for you to win, but I’m sure we can get you an achievement certificate just for trying! No, Rudy Giuliani is not the correct answer. Keep trying, and really, solid start. You’re doing great!

Always assume there is a 5 when adding or subtracting numbers under 10. It’s a prime. Pretty much learn that day one in home school.

Justice-involved persons.

There is so much wrong here. Not so much about Harris and political blathering, but Cuomo's tweet starts with "PLEASE READ"? What else can one do with the written word? It screams that hes terrified he'll lose his job for what he said. One minute he's Tony Soprano, the next he's Barney Fife.

F$#!ng more %$#@ing vegan @#&☆ing bull$h^t!!

Not Bden, Rudy G!

Such is life. Actions have consequences.

Rudy is a national treasure and should be treated as such by you libs. Just bow your head slightly if paying homage will upset your angsty pencil-necked friends. No one will notice your respect for the man who allowed NYers to make their own soda choices before Bloomy and DiBlasio sent the storm troopers to confiscate the big gulp cups. Admit it, even you respect Rudy for his leadership when it mattered most.

As a father, I think it's hard to be objective when analyzing things that happen to your children. It's all way too personal. If I was Zay, I'd be telling Pops to keep his thoughts private. There is literally no upside to trashing the players that Zay shared a uniform with. There might be exceptions where it's a push, Geno Smith broken jaw with IK, maybe.

The Bills hung in there with him when he thought he was Keith Moon after a gig in '67. They took a shot, and I'm quite certain if Zay blossomed into a very solid #2 he would not have been traded. The comments about the evolving QB situation in WNY is fair game for analysts, scouts and GMs. Personally, I'm not all that interested in the musings of the father of an NFL player on politics, the best places for Italian food, or his adult son's career. No hard feelings, Zay is gone, and that's that. Cool levitation trick though.
