    As I recall both hips were giving you probes, right? Did you get the shot in both or does 1 shot preclude either being replaced.

    Though you do have got time to get a nice tree house with comfy chair built... Sometimes like a redneck blind on a platform with a lazy boy

    Both got the shot and felt great for about a week, tried the physical therapy, dry needles, weekly massage tried everything to avoid having replacement to no avail.

    I do have another rant rude asians in airports, yesterday I am waiting in line in customs in Vancouver. This asian guy behind me bumped into my back pack 5 times in 5 minutes, after the 5th time I told him to back off and quit bumping into me. Rude little people.

    Speaking of things blowing up. Local car dealership above us poured gasoline down the sewer drain. Blew up a house two streets over. Five streets, including ours got an emergency evac we were told to leave immediately and to open every window and doors unlocked. I took the kids to mother inlaws and then snuck back to guard the house from the backyard all night..people left with lights on food on the tables what a mess.they opened town hall and churches for everyone. It came out later that FD gave the OK for this not realizing the fumes would run lines and fill up basements. What was the guy saying OK thinking! They lucked out on that one.

    Ps ... That accident saved the guys life, apparently his heart had stopped the impact of his car going through the basement wall and hitting the other side started his heart. He climbed out off the car and existed through the house..

    Ooppss... That PS belongs several post down about the fire works guy...I was wondering where that went lol Sorry got a phone call...

    I honestly don't know, blew the house ,an older victorian, right off It's foundation. They were lucky no one was killed.

    I'm so glad we left village life, but crazy is every where! The neighbor up the road calls, the kids found a hole and sticks with crusty white stuff...OMG. call 911! Farm country so tnt. But not from the old farm. NO! The town counsel person, who's wifes family owned the land many years ago told the town it would be OK to bury their old un wanted tnt in the back 40 in an unmarked hole.
    The county bomb squad came out in full gear and their robot. Closed our and adjacent road had to evac neighbor and spent several hours figuring out how to deal with it. What they ended up doing is setting the hole on fire to burn the old deteriorated tnt. Makes one wonder what all is out there in small town America..lol those robots are interest but not for sure made for speed..hahaha

    Lol
    I told hubby there is just no moving away from stupid , it's every where! Same town across valley,guy blows himself up. Half the county shows up. Another evac, because the house has several bombs. The guys "hobby" was making bombs! So for years I'd hear far off explosions and I thought it was sound traveling from the salt mines. Apparently not! Then not 2 yrs later the guy just down the hill from us gets a permit to make commercial fire works from his home. So the explosions continue. Now here is what the truly crazy part of this is. I couldn't make this stuff up. The guy has a pace maker,why ? you might ask. Well he had a heart attack some years earlier and drove his entire car into the basement of the neighbor down the the road from him. Are you ready for this? The owner of the house,well he's the oldest son of that councilman. No kidding lifes bizarre.

    Some local kid thought it would be a wise move to bring a gun to school and show his friends. Accidental discharge and the school was put on lock down..swat responds. Over 2,000 kids in that school. Can you imagine being a parent and hearing shots were fired at your kids school? I hope they hammer that kid in court.

    Yeah, Uncc, 2 miles from home, where 60% of my kids attended college, yesterday.

    Didn't end well for 2, 4 more still in the hospital. Could've been much worse.

    Fortunately they caught the guy, already charged with a laundery list of crimes.

    I saw that, unbelievable. I hope more and more "good" people aren't fooled by everyone these days, and actually believe they have the right to defend themselves. Have a right to carry a gun and defend themselves against pure evil. People are starting to blur the lines between good and evil and I understand that, but in these instances there is no blurring of lines. Defend yourself. This isn't new in the history of our world. Humans have been dealing with these life and death situations throughout time.

    My issue would be how he got the gun, if we find out he walked in and bought the gun from a store and the NIC system failed again, it's time to over haul the NIC system and fix NIC.

    Unless it was a college, not many pre college kids old enough to purchase firearms.

    That would not be a NICS rewrite problem.

    a teen gets a gun off the street or from his home...nearly 100 percent of the time. not from a dealer or some individual legally selling
