    BTW ...Give your loved one a window breaking tool to put in arms reach. Keep one in your vehical, just incase. Add to that a box cutter to rip through those seat belts and carry an extinguisher for others if not your self.
    Simple ,simple prevention.

    Don't know who to be pissed at ADP or my tax accountant. ADP had my employer provided deluxe insurance package as income. Technically I am not an owner so not considered income. I have been paying taxes on over $20,000 per year for 5 years that I did not need to. I do not remember the last time I ever got money back from the IRS.

    Leaving in the morning my usual time, bringing the granddad to meet my son at the office to go and turn the lights on, then off to the airport again, will get home 10:30 Friday night. Business travel is so glamorous

    When it's September archery elk season and you pull a tendon in your calf and can still barely walk after 5 days.

    Lost 2 life long friends this week, one I knew since 5th grade the other since freshman year in college. Do not celebrate a death of somebody you disagree with, but liberals are like that aren't they. I don't think I am in the wrong I do not understand how a person could be ok with a husband and father being killed is something other than sad.

    Sota, I agree. The anti-hunting people were overjoyed to hear about an elderly man who was goose hunting, got injured by a falling goose.

    Dang man...ice the heck out if it. Im talking 6 to 8 times a day. Calf muscles have very limited room to swell that is why they are so painful. Ice like a mad man.

    Good idea to ice it. Best with scotch or bourbon poured over the ice.

    OMG, So as I'm prepping veggies for preserving I scroll You tube

    There is surely NOT ENOUGH SWEAR WORDS in existence to for me to scream right now!
    I'm already terrified to end up in a hospital for anything, but now just going for an exam needs to be a worrisome stressful ordeal? No,no,no firings are not enough major, major lawsuites and CRIMINAL charges need to happen.
    I can not show you guys this video, for one thing it's a Gynecologist office. The staff at this office, mostly woman and a few men decided to make a TIC TOC video of well , well " end results of an exam" For several patients. This with them laughing and actually doing a dance routine while posting exam room pics!
    It was the most disgusting , DISTURBING thing I actually could not have imagined. I can't unsee that!

    Wife got assaulted at school today, by a drug addled mentally unstable POS. Cops will take care of the restraining order. Wife was advised to drive a different vehicle, make sure the outdoor cameras are working and the doors locked. The school will do nothing more to protect my wife. The woman is known to stalk, I advised my wife to carry her judge, at least to and from work.

    It may be illegal to even have a weapon in your car on school property. I'd check @Sota

    Well a work crew will be here to hardwire real security cameras none of this charging BS, also a sensor to notify if something or someone enters my drive way and that decretive lighting my wife wanted to light up the back and side yard too. No restraining order filed personally for the wife our name and address would be on the RO. Wife is removed from staff directory at the school. She still will not let me buy a fully trained Cain Corso and that is disappointing.

    I hate to hear that you're having go through this buddy. I went through it with my daughter and a crazy boy friend. It ended with him in prison. I hope it just fades away and your life can get back to not looking over your shoulder.

    Thank you for the thoughts, it does suck but I will not regret fortifying my defenses. It sucks for my wife she was used by the school district to get charges and thus exposed her to an unstable woman that lives a life of crime with a history of retaliating.
