I am no mechanic, but it would seem to me that a proper check of a used car would require its being placed on a lift, or some type of complete check from below.

I cannot see ever buying a used car without having had your mechanic check it thoroughly first.

True enough. The obvious, and most mature, thing to do would have been to say, "Now that I think about it, and based on what you all have pointed out, I guess that driving and videotaping at the same time was not the smartest thing to do under any conditions, let alone during a snow storm." But instead of taking that graceful out, the OP instead opts to alternate between sarcasm (in response to specific points, which she then ignores) and glib assertions that all was completely within her control (in response to general suggestions that she was engaging in a patently unsafe activity).

Oh, brother... Yes, of course, which is why this NEAR MISS video thread opens with a post where you say that you could have been killed. 1) The issue is not your following distance behind the fire truck. It is about your speed relative to the fire truck. If you were going the safe speed that you claim, the distance between you and the fire truck should have increased exponentially and the truck should have pulled out of view within a matter of seconds. Instead, you seem to maintain essentially the same distance throughout, which strongly suggests that you were going at the s

The driver/videographer's rationalizations sound no different from those of a texting teen, insisting that all was safe. By definition her activity was unsafe, no matter how in control she claims to have been. This applies not only to the videotaping, but to her speed, which while not shockingly nigh, was still too fast for conditions. Both the video and her admission of purported speed (35 MPH downhill on a snowy, slushy road is still too fast for the weather conditions at the time), though her relatively constant distance behind the fire truck suggests that her actual speed was about ten MPH

The price of oil dropping a dollar and change per barrel is "plunging"??? That is hardly a significant change.

Oh, my, here goes p.com's resident "the bus drivers are lazy" curmudgeon... Not sure what this "every time" business is..."They" (whoever that is) called it right last time, when on a Thursday night schools were closed for what turned out to the worst ice storm in a decade. Hmmm, last fall "they" opted to close schools for what turned out to be the worst flooding in decades, even when the large district to our east did not, resulting in one school being completely lost to flood waters...Looks like "they" have a pretty good ability these days to call these shots. But then again, it's proba

Yes, you might very well be, if you have been a homeowner who did not know what a homestead exemption is.

I think the problem with that reasoning is that the realtor would tell a different version. Hard to say, especially from long distance, what was done and what was not, and even more difficult to prove default on a contract. Again, the contract should spell out which types of sales activities the realtor was obligated to do, so the question would be are those things being done? I would send a certified letter, return receipt requested, to the realtor and to the broker, and express the seller's concerns. That would probably shake things up a bit, and force a return call. In the letter I wou

It seems to me that this should have been done before signing the contract...Either way, the termination process should be spelled out in the contract.

I think that you are confusing the National Labor Relations Board, which handles primarily high level union election issues, with the U.S. Labor Department, whose Wage and Hour Division investigates salary and hour disputes.

How are they basically the same distance if the I-20 route is 250 miles longer???

Considering how fewer people are reading newspapers these days, I don't know that this would be a profitable use of one's time, especially in various types of weather. Many hours for meager returns would be my guess.

You are asking what the county's position is on a message board? Would you trust answers that you received here???

You had best learn to ignore your sources, especially when they feed you premature and, in this case, completely erroneous, speculation.

Didn't you hear? The President is coming to see the icy roads, and as a result it is a school holiday today.

Um, I think I said that it was like insurance, just two posts ago. The other similarlity, as I stated earlier was that social security contributions (i.e.,taxes) paid in the present go to pay people in the present, rather than being stored away for the future. Car insurance is the same way in that present premiums go toward present business costs, rather than potential future claims. I understand the use of the term social welfare as you laid it out in your last post, but in the earlier post you did not explain it, and many folks, when they hear the word welfare in connection with the fede

This is a poor analogy, especially referring to social security as welfare, which implies that the recipient did not work for it. A better analogy would be car insurance. You pay into it for years, and your premiums are not being stored up for you, but are helping to keep the business operating in the present, including the paying out of claims to those who have accidents. However, if you eventually have an accident in the (hopefully) distant future, you have no qualms about receiving benefits because you paid your premiums faithfully for years.

Yes, but what they are not always sending is info about costs. The medical sector is not big on identifying precise costs, especially where insurance is not a factor.

You mean you would consider an insurance matter "verified" just because someone on a message board says it is so?

While that is a common Catholic tradition, it is by no means limited to Catholics. Plenty of others observe Epiphany, including Orthodox, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, etc. The familiar Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas" speaks of this, but sadly, secular shopping interests have contributed to people's forgetting about this. Commercialism has contributed to Christmas trees going up earlier than they ever did; putting them up Thanksgiving weekend was quite uncommon only a generation ago, and two generations ago many people still waited until Christmas Eve to

Georgia is not a no-fault state, and no-fault auto insurance generally refers to injury claims, not collision claims.
