  1. relieved......had my truck totalled by a dozy old woman on friday, now i have just heard from the insurance that indeed it is a write off and that it was her fault so i will be getting a settlement, the question now is how much do they think my truck is worth

  5. ok give over....what am i missing?
  6. it is.......so go ahead convince me otherwise
  7. get the hitch-mounted type keeps the bike away from the vehicle and is easy to install and use, only draw-back is that it adds about 3-4 ft to the length of the vehicle so dont a) smash it into anything backing up leave it hanging out in traffic when you park forward
  8. wolfy in lack of comprehension shocker.
  9. add a geothermal heat pump and you're set
  10. wouldn't you need those things anyway, kit home or traditional home?
  11. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/gun-loving-us-cop-draws-twitter-jeers-after-aggressive-encounter-with-canadians/article4471289/ ........the actual letter mentioned in the article I recently visited Calgary from Michigan. As a police officer for 20 years, it feels strange not to carry my off-duty hand-gun. Many would say I have no need to carry one in Canada. Yet the police cannot protect everyone all the time. A man should be al-lowed to protect himself if the need arises. The need arose in a theatre in Aurora, Colo., as well as a college campus in Canada. Recently, while out for a walk in Nose Hill Park, in broad daylight on a paved trail, two young men approached my wife and me. The men stepped in front of us, then said in a very aggressive tone: "Been to the Stampede yet?" We ignored them. The two moved closer, repeating: "Hey, you been to the Stampede yet?" I quickly moved between these two and my wife, replying, "Gentle-men, I have no need to talk with you, goodbye." They looked bewildered, and we then walked past them. I speculate they did not have good intentions when they approached in such an aggressive, disrespectful and menacing manner. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ they did not pull a weapon of some sort, but rather concluded it was in their best interest to leave us alone. Would we not expect a uniformed officer to pull his or her weapon to intercede in a life-or-death encounter to protect self, or another? Why then should the expectation be lower for a citizen of Canada or a visitor? Wait, I know - it's because in Canada, only the criminals and the police carry handguns. Walt Wawra, Kalamazoo, Mich.
  12. have you been to the US? bit of an over statement that they are a fundamentalist christian country.
  13. whachootawkinbout? ...and we do have different gun laws, still we have a ton of long barrel guns and we have a fraction of the gun violence, not none, but far far fewer incidents.
  14. hope not....have been susceptable to mistakes defensively, but have looked strong so far.
  15. Dark Knight Rises.....totally disappointed, not nearly enough cool stuff for a super hero movie, editing was shit, could've been trimmed down to just over 2 hours. Liked the first Nolan film, second one was good because of Ledgers Joker but still not as good as the first, this one came off as directorialy self indulgent .
  16. well yes, but its all pretty much taken care of, i've a few things still to do, but i'm gonna try and get a round or two of golf in this week with my brother in law and the nephews, just not being at work will feel really good.
  17. Fucking Stoked!!! last day of work before 2wks off....BOOM!!!
  18. that was frikken awesome.
