  3. very sad indeed JDoors Very true Barb that most lawyers are more interested in wins and money than truth and justice. I see that every time I read of another person getting away with murder, drug dealing, dui, robbery etc. There was a local councilman here several years ago who got away with killing his wife, due to the ministrations of his lawyer to get the case moved away to a friendly judge

  8. further update on my Ford. I wasn't the timing belt that broke, but the bolt that holds the tensioner sheared flush with the block. The belt was still in one piece. Now they have thremove the remainder of the bolt and install a new one. Of course they didn't have an easy out of the right size so still no car. The corolla is sitting out front of the house with a busted radiator (I was supposed to get one from the junkyard for it on Mondaybut no way to get there and pick it up)Hopefully I will get mine back tomorrow and the radiator for my son's on Friday. It's a good job my office is only 2 blo

  15. We had 5 people die here in a bad fire. They were living in 2 campers pulled together and heated by 4 kerosene heaters. Another person in a mobile home almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a kerosene heater also. Those things are very dangerous, so anyone out there using them please be very careful. keep the wicks clean and trimmed so they burn properly and make sure that they are well away from anything flammable. I personally hate having to go into houses that have had a fire to see if they need to be condemned or not. Everyone take care and have a wonderful holiday season
