That blue bell icecream is tasty but full of chemicals.
Avoid stabilizers such as guar gum or carrageen.
Frozen dessert means we can not legally label it ice cream.
Drug tests that exclude too many potential employees are expensive and useless.
Benny Binion allowed pot but did not ever encourage a dealer to deal drunk.
One man's guide talk took an intense interest in a dealer's shoes and the dealer had to ask to be tapped out immediately, when he got back the Box man asked 'is it gone' and the dealer replied 'yes'. The man with the guide dog had commented he was a retired LAPD canine.
To this day, the venetian takes a dog around all the unopened tables in the early morning searching where the dealers would be standing. Drugs and bombs I would imagine. Usually around 7;00 am.
The dealers shoes? Maybe the dog was card counting and the shoe was positive count

That's what I hear about your posts also but I still read them.🤣

Could care less what it sounds
like, it's a media hustle trying
to lead us around by the nose.
Look how well it's working.
This is why the media is still
stunned that Trump won and
is still there. They thought we
would do whatever they direct
us to do, and it failed miserably.
This time.
If you are going to be so negative, can you at least properly use the English language?

Second time you trolled the same subject. We got it. Go away.
No one is forcing you to participate..
However, it would seem from that IMDB link that his first movie was Hercules in New York. Perhaps there was some confusion with Herbie Goes Bananas?
I'm sure they are all there for the music and none of them are there for the drugs.Quote: KeeneoneJust drove back into town tonight. The traffic around LVMS for EDC was a sight to see. Wow.
Btw, wtf. If you are going to hack an account it is a real dick move to send 7 boxes that weigh 50 pounds instead of maybe a 2k piece of jewelry. What a pain it will be if I have to take these boxes to a store.
Quote: GWAEI have a kohls credit card and it is linked in my online kohls account. On Sunday while sleeping I got an email, thank you for your order. I had an order for $2000 worth of coffee tables. It was 7 coffee tables each $300. I am like wtf. I call kohls and they told me the current scam is they will hack your online account and use your kohls charge. They ship the items to your house but they steal the kohls cash. In this case the kohls cash earned was $400. Luckily I called early enough and they were able to cancel the kohls cash before they used it. He told me he would send an email to shipping department to get the shipment stopped. I guess they didnt get it in time because everything shipped. So I have been watching the tracking number and last night FedEx had a note that package is being returned to sender. I was happy, but when I got home from work today I had 6 large boxes of coffee tables sitting in front of my door. FedEx only returned 1 of the 7 boxes. I wonder if kohls will figure it out.

That's really messed up of them to do! :( So sad to hear you were scammed. :(

Take a picture, contact the local news tell them the story, and you can be on TV news. Then mention your new business and get some free advertising. I forgot what kind of business you're starting. Probably not even a good idea.
You would love that, wouldn't you?Quote: RigondeauxHow about, instead of coasters above urinals, so that you can rest your open drink in a room swirling with fecal mist, piss, farts and puke vapors, they put a shelf outside the restroom where you can drop your drink off for a minute?
I can see it now, Rigondeaux skulking around outside the men's restroom just waiting for an opportunity to Rufi guys drinks.

How many drinks are you carrying into restrooms to feel like this is a problem that needs a solution?
And if you have not downed your drink by the time you got to the restroom...Quote: KeeneoneHow many drinks are you carrying into restrooms to feel like this is a problem that needs a solution?
Or maybe a more interesting question, "How much money would have to be in a public toilet before you'd reach in?" 25 cents, $1, $10, $50? What if it's accompanied by a floater?
Quote: rxwineI'll refrain from starting a thread titled, "Things you've seen in a urinal"

What if it's accompanied by a floater?as a terrible practical joke, you could toss a wallet in the bowl with the edge of 100 dollar bill sticking out. Of course, it turns out only to be a small torn corner of a 100 dollar bill.
One of my parents’ friends (or grandparents) would bring a handful of quarters whenever he’d go to a fancy restaurant. He’d throw the quarters in the urinal when he got there, and sure enough, they’d usually be gone by the time he left.

This is faster and easier than using a key how?
I also hate push button ignitions. Turning a car key is satisfying. And with the push buttons, i lose the keys while driving. Why is this an advance?
Worse still are those dials to shift gears. Your driving some sporty new car and when you shift it feels like you're opening a jar of peanut butter.

There are some sellers on ebay that if you even LOOK at some product will send a "thank you for your order" email and the buttons for "confirm" and "cancel" each confirm the order with paypal.
Quote: FleaStiffOn those 'thank you for your order' emails .. do not click on any links to confirm or cancel that are in that email.

That's good as gold advice to not open up a "Thank you for ordering," email when you absolutely did not make a recent offer, but it's starting at least and it's human nature to be curious on this unexpected email. Hell I know I'd have opened up that email too.

Probably because you're already bathing and breathing in it. Who cares if you drink it? It's already on ya

I disagree vehemently. The fact that I don't have to take the keys out of my pocket may be one of the greatest automobile inventions ever. I walk up to the car and it unlocks automatically. I sit down, push the button, and drive off. I get out, close the car door, and it locks. If only I could get that feature on my AMC Pacer.
Quote: RigondeauxI seen a commercial on the tv for this smart lock thing. I guess it wires up to your smart house and you can unlock your doors with your smart phone.

My mom bought herself a new car last month. It has a push-button ignition. This has been a source of complete befuddlement for her. She has spent 20 minutes a couple of times simply hunting for a place to insert a key.
It is also a source of some concern to me. The car can be left running with the keys removed. Which has led to a few dozen deaths here in Florida. People (particularly old, but not all) don't realize they've left the car running once it's parked, the new engines are so quiet. They put them in the garage, get out and into the house with the keys without pushing the button, and are found dead hours later from carbon monoxide poisoning.
This is not a good development. I think the keys themselves should beep if they are out of the car for any period of time with the engine running. The car can sense it; why shouldn't it help you realize you've made that possibly deadly error?
My truck has a keyed ignition, but Mrs. Joeman's car has keyless locks/ignition. I agree that it is a good thing. In fact, I have gotten so used to it from driving her car, that my dumb a$$ will unlock my truck, put the keys back in my pocket, get in, and wonder why it won't go!Quote: DRichI disagree vehemently.

Agreed. I have left my car running and walked away.

I know a dumb doctor who must have done that while in the parking garage at Caesars in Vegas....... Came back to a car with an empty fuel tank.....
Just leave your keys in your pocket and you're good to go. You don't have to mess around with getting them out, losing them, nor getting locked out of your car.
The turny knob thingie is pretty annoying though, although after driving a 300 for a while, it's starting to grow on me. One nice thing is it allows for more room for activities, like re-filling your vape juice and doesn't allow for IDIOTS to try to balance In-N-Out food on the stick-shift even when they were told specifically NOT TO DO THAT. The food ended up falling on the ground. =(
I did leave the car running once, but in my car the radio stays on and the door won't lock if the car is running so you have two warning systems you must ignore to actually walk away from your running car. My remote beeps if it gets more than a short distance from the car if it is running.
Quote: FaceYeah, real nice when the bike starts cuz the fob is on the work bench and you don't realize til you shut er down at a C-store 50mi from home -_-
I rent lots of cars and I don't
like the push button starts at
all. Too many ways to screw up,
as Face just pointed out. Very
easy to lock the keys in the car.
I did it.
Unlocked with the fob at rental
site, put the keys on the seat
and started car. Got to destination,
locked car and keys were still on
seat. That doesn't happen when
you turn the car off with the key.
When you turn car in it's very easy
to forget to leave the keys unless
they remind you. That also happened
to me.
I did that once here. Embedded a link to block Won under false pretenses and deception. Not allowed to do that anymore, BBB caught it. Don't remember why, he just got on my nerves, was probably agitating me being rude.Quote: FleaStiffOn those 'thank you for your order' emails .. do not click on any links to confirm or cancel that are in that email.

Quote: RSYou can’t lock it inside the car.
That's been my experience with the two I've owned and the couple I've rented.
I told my wife that maybe we can tell them no and see if we can get some extra money out of it. They can take us to court and take it but maybe it would be easier for them to just pay up a little.
Quote: billryanHow do you lock the door without the fob?
Every car has a lock door button on
the door near the power window
controls.
"My wife did it, left the keys in her purse at a funeral when we got out at the graveside and my son hit the lock(out of habit) inside as they were getting out of the car."
On some if you leave the fob in the
car, and the car running, and don't
turn off the auto lock feature, the
doors lock after 60sec with the fob
inside.
Quote: GWAEreceived a certified letter today from gas company. I open it and there is a long letter explaining how they are moving the mai gas supply line and it is going to run through our property. It goes on the mention how we will be compensated for them having to take a right a way. bla bla bla. I am thinking I hope they go through my driveway because we need a new one and this would be a good way to get one. I read the next 8 pages and at the end there is a land survery. I am confused trying to figure out where they are taking. Then I realize it is in the back corner which is a wooded part of the land. They are literally touching our property by maybe 3 feet. They are willing to compensate us fair market value rounded to the nearest dollar. So for the .002 acres that they are taking we will receive $1.00.

What happens if the corner of your house was on that spot?

You probably complain about your gas bill as well.

I just tried it. I rolled the window down just in case it would lock. Left the fob inside, hit the lock button, and the door wouldn’t even try to lock with the door open.
Neither of us can speak for other brands.
