  1. Smyrna Police Distributors will do that. I bought a new Mod 22 last year for around $425 after tax. I think all of them were $399 list. That is with regular sights.
  2. I'm with you on this. My first 5 picks hace to be in within a week or so from now. Paulding Schools has been using a 2 year cycle. This year and last school year were approved together. Basically that means every other year we just have to guess when the kids will be out. The next approval will be around spring if I remember correctly.
  3. parking lots are private property. There are only 5 tickets that can be written there. One is DUI. LEOs even have to do a special accident report when it occurred on private property and can not generally write the at fault driver a ticket. However... there is precident for deeming roadways on private property as actual public roads. The road that parallels 278 in front of Sams, HD, Target and Kohls is one of those. I would not risk her driving on that stretch. It is private property and does not have a name but too good of an arguement exists for calling it a public road.
  4. You totally missed the point...
  5. Theoretically speaking I have thought simi lar for years but for a different reason. What you imply will not help thos at the botom either as costs will change to compensate and we all wind uo back where we started in relationship to income and costs. My thought was to drop a zero off everything in the USA. $10/ HOUR Becomes $1/ hour. A $100, 000 home now costs $10, 000. By doing that our wages here now become competitive to those over seas. I have a feeling the world economy would react and compensate though.
  6. Did you know they closed that crossing now?
  7. according to your first chart 10% brackett started around $110,000 / year right? Do I really need to draw you a map? I do work 3 jobs and have a spouse that works. BTW you called EVERYONE that was not in the top 1% a loser. Go back and look.
  8. Forget the number then and stick with the %. My arguement is the same NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU LOOK AT IT. Raise MW Nd you must raise wages mostly across the board for the same % or else you are compressing the wage scale. Further by raising MW you will be making foreign wages EVEN MORE attractive for the prospect of offshoring. Finally you have not even begun to consider the tax implications. UNLESS the IRS raises the tax brackets by the same amount then employees across the board will find even more of their money taken in taxes while not seeing ANY extra buying power after everything is bala
  9. You'd be wrong... But I appreciate you calling me a "loser"
  10. I knoe a good one off Cole lake Rd. It even has high weeds right next to the road so she can easily tell where the curbs are. LOL
  11. According to you I do not have a carreer. That is news to me and my employer.
  12. And that addresses my question how? How do you intend to compensate a mechanic, plumber, programmer, LEO OR FF who is earnong at or slightly above the $15 / hour you WANT TO GIVE that highschool dropout flipping burgers. These folks I listed finished school, learned a trade or went to secondary school investing their time and money in order to get to those wage rates that you just want to now give away. IS THAT FAIR TO THOSE WORKERS? IF SO WHY? IF NOT WHAT DO YOU SUGHEST WE DO ABOUT IT? DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT IF EVERYONE GETS A 100% WAGE INCREASE AS YOU PROPOSE FO
  13. Depending on the jurisdiciction... yes it is. It amounts $31, 200 / year. I have askes over and over for the folks that support this wage to please explain how it is right for a highshool dropout burger flipper to earn the same Wages as a skilled employee wit at least a high school degree and training in a specific field . Rhey have yet to give any answer that is germain to that concept. The best they can offer up us they need a living wage too. So again I will ask what is your proposal for adequately compensatu ng the skilled workers who ar just over that amount? If you have no way to do
  14. Sunday bright and early I took her to a local parking lot. I realize I can not let a 14 y/o drive on the roads but she does need to practice a little bit. So I took her to the Ingles lot. We have discussed driving and the rules of the road. We have discussed the signs and what they mean. We have talked about the mechanical aspects of the vehicle. We even discussed the physics behind driving and how they apply. Most of that was while we would go to her soccer practice. So I reviewed some of the more pertinent ones and went over the " shuffle steering" method I use. Since she has been riding atv
  15. There are basically 2 types of discs. The first tupe you have to put all the data... files, pictures or whatever into a que of sorts. When you get it all in you burn it to disc. When you are done the disc is locked. You can not copy any thing else to it. The second kind is a rewrite disc. It works the same as the hard drive. You can write, erase and repeat to your hearts delight. There is no real differencein the data storage however some discs are not compatible with say a cd player. I would suggest putting your pictures on a thumb drive. TVs, printers and netbooks for instance
  16. Car does not have to be in gear. I always hated to hear about those cases. I never made one unless I could put them behind the wheel and in motion within my own sight. The closest I came to this was the guy who drove by me from the waffle house. The employees called dispatch on him and told them where I was. Dispatch called me and I went after him. It helped that the employees knew him and where he lived. I caught up to him as he was getting out in front of his trailer and began my DUI assessment.
  17. I have 2 questions for you guys. How do salvage titles get transfered or are they. How does that affect taxes? Do you guys have any idea about how it affects insurance if it is even available. This whole topic got me thinkin, which is a very bad thing, I need to call my agent and ask him of I can buy up my auto coverage. As I stated earlier. My truck is worth about $7000 on the market. It is worth much more to me as I had it since day one and have taken great care of it. I would like to insure it for more against a total loss than they would likely give me. I wonder if I can add a
  18. Skipping right to the end with my 2 cents. In the end a car is only a machine. As it ages its value decreases. In that moderate damage as what you describe can cost a great deal to repair and exceed the value given by the insurance company. Those valurs are averages for all similar vehicles. My truck might bring $7000 at sell. I have had it since day 1. A total loss would be at around $4200 the last time I replaced the BUMPER AND SUPPORTS ONLY was in excess of $2500. Thow in a hood and fender and I might be over that amount. Absolutely nothing mechanical would be wrong. Only that repairs cost
  19. We eat at the fancy dining table with the sides that don't let your plate slide off and them fancy passing sticks. But only on very special ocasions. Speaking of the BH, is it just me or has anyone else every noticed how small their kitchen was for a mansion in Beverly Hills.
  20. I had a good bit on the steps and hood of my truck when I left at 6:15. Steets were fine but had a good bit of pinestraw and leaves on them. Fire station in Kennesaw had snow all over the roof as well. Not much on the ground though.
  21. I was posting about multiple copays. If I got hurt say with a broken arm I could go to the ER for $150 unless admitted. I go to the Dr. $25. Referal to the imaging center Zero, ortho $25. So I guess it COULD save me $100 buti would have to go to 3 seperate places. Trip to the ER for $100 more sounds much better, faster and easier.
  22. I'm wondering about the copay. If I go to my dr. And he refers me out for an xray and then followup with an ortho would I not pay say $25 X 3 vs. A one time copay of $150. Personally $125 dollar extra fee would be well worth the extra effort with a budted arm. Just thinking out loud here
  23. China JUST LOVES to see this type of news. Why? It is not because they want to be mean and see people fail. Not at all. They absolutely love to see the US government spend lots of money, that we borrowed from them, Invested in new tech startups. We put tons of money into the R & D of these techs which often fail as a private company. Our government can not legally buy the company and its assets so the company goes to the highest bidder in bankruptcy as it were. China swoops inand buys it. Confiscates the new tech and associated hardware and sells off the rest. So we get the main costs they
  24. That begs the question... were you spanked as a child AND didit have the desired effect your parents hoped for?
  25. I should throw I here that my reply is more to those that believe this drivel than itv is dorected at you. Shall we discuss my cousin who never hot spanked, got whatever he NEEDED when he needed it, only graduated highschool, never attended college and at 50 something can not get a decent job, can never again hold a license and has a criminal record a mile long including drugs, theft, mischief, assault, battery and DUI. I NEVER GOT SPANKED EITHER. Our mothers were sisters. I never did any drugs. Got a couple of traffic citations, graduated college and work in public safety for 20 years. I
