I quit trying to read those damn signs when it went beyond "Click it or Ticket"

R I P > loved your show and watch reruns when they show them. That was back when funny was actually funny.

I don't think this comes as much of a surprise to gun owners after the maniac in Las Vegas killed and injured so many people using Bump Stocks to enable him to do what he did........JMHO

Thanks and I am also.

My son Ronnie came to talk to me about his job. He is working for a small family business doing general auto repair. They have him salaried at $800.00 a week and work him from 8 to 6 five days a week and sometimes till 7PM if a job needs to get done. The one of the main issues with working for these people is they won't heat to work area. When it gets cold it just gets cold cause they won't turn the heat on. When it's cold he has to wear two or three layers of clothng to work and I know how hard that can be to do. He has work there going on 3 years and every winter he gets sick because of his working conditions and if he took a day off while sick they would dock his pay. On the days when he worked over they did not increase his pay that week. I told him that was not right. I went up to his work place one day and had lunch with him and he introduced me to his employer. His employer is a Foreigner from another country and I didn't ask. He was nice enough to talk with and he said he was impressed with my sons work. He could do alot of the high tech stuff none of his other techs could do. That was my opening to get involved in asking why the shop did not have an All-Data system to do the system scans on the new cars and he said because we never had anyone that could use one. I said well you do now so he looked at purchasing one. Ronnie was having to do what tests he could from information he could get off his smart phone and that was running his bill up and I told him employer about that and his employer is now giving him the amount of his phone bill as bonus in a salary once a month. I had to finally bring up the heat factor. I said you spend most of your day in the heated part of the office but the bread winners that keep the money coming in and the doors open. I think I kind of caught the guy off guard with all my questions but the shop now has heat and a All-Data unit to scan cars up through 2018. I only did that because I had another job waiting in th wings for Ronnie in case the guy got offended and fired him but as it is all things worked out.

I have been dead and sent back 4 times in a 1 hour time frame. When that truck smashed me between it and a brick wall back in 1978. I died twice in the ambulance on way to hospital, died again in the ER and died again during an emergency surgery. I was told about the one in Surgery cause I was sedated when that one happened but in the previous three times I heard the people working on me say "wer'er loosing him" and a second later everything was calm and quiet. Then all at once I was back again and could sense a sigh of relief in the EMT's and then about 3 minutes later it happened again and it was the same and then I was back again. And we had arrived at the Hospital and tech said "lost him twice for about 1 to 1.5 minutes," so I knew how long I was gone before being sent back by GOD. I don't know how long I was gone in ER or Surgery but was told it was touch and go both times. I spent some time thinking about those 1.5 minutes and what I felt and all it was was peace and quiet. I thank GOD every night before going to sleep for looking out for me those times and every day since then.

Has anyone ever wondered with all the Global Warming/Clmate Change why many of the snowflakes don't melt and go away. I have finally figured it out. They are made of and it don't melt................JMHO

I can only remember being in 1 quake back when I was about 10 years old and one struck the Fault Madrid back in the 50's while I still lived in Illinois. I can remember it because at the time I had about 5 or 6 dogs that I had rescued that people brought out of Chicago to farm country and dropped them. Anyway all of the dogs began barking and jumping around wildly and running around in the back yard and about a minute or two later our house began shaking. Some of my mothers knick knacks fell off here end tables onto the carpet floor and a few dishes got broke in the kitchen. It lasted about 2 to 3 minutes and there were 2 after shocks that were much smaller in size. I have always tried to have a dog or two after that because they do make short but good early warning services for quakes. I have heard of dogs reacting as long as 5 minutes before one hits. People just need to be able to realize what the dogs are acting the way they are and react accordingly such as getting outside a building and away from power lines till it's over...............JMHO

One thing I will never understand is why when decisions like arming all the staff in a school is just announcing to any future shooters make sure you shoot the staff near you first and get rid of that threat. That is what all the night club shooters do. They shoot security first.................JMHO.

Well, I had a job for 35 years I dearly loved back when I was working fixing cars and light trucks. I looked forward to going to work every day. My if a shop I was working in closed down I would load my tool box and make no more than two stops at other shops around Nashville area. I finally had a friend tell me to check out a location in Brentwood and I did. I went in an asked if I could fill out an app and the man handed me one ad he said is your name Doug and I said yes sir. He looked out at my pickup with all the boxes in the back and he said you hvae a job. Just finish your app and for the record. I turned in the app and he took me out in the shop and said you will be working in bay 3. I said ok and I asked him about how the pay works and he began laughing and he said yea, I am getting ahead of my self and he too me in his office and explained his entire format. I said can I get some help with unloading my tools and he said yes, the other techs in the shop will help you. When we shook hands he looked at me and said your reputation preceeds and I have wished for long time I could have a mechanic of your caliber working for us. I didn't have 1 guy that was happy I was hired without his approval and that was the Service manager and he was always allowed to interview all new mechanics and he didn't me. The shop owner hired me personally. The service Mgr. got over his bad mood pretty quick and for the last 10.5 years I worked I loved my job. zero stress at all. I even set my own hours and would be in at 8AM and leave when I had my work done. Sometimes 5 but most times between 6 and 7 PM. Once the Service Mgr found out I was pretty able to fix anything wrong so he would have my work order pegs fill before I ever got to work. I still miss not being able to work on cars back when cars were still cars. Now my son get to work on what they call cars now days...........lol

That quake reminds me of my mother searching for new homeowners insurance and I was at her house when the agent came by. Now taking into consideration my mother lived in Greenbrier and it is up on a hill so high that when you drive up it your ears will pop. She tells him what she wants and ever so often he would butt in on her. That was his first mistake so after about 4 interuptions she stopped what she was talking to let him talk and he told my mother that she forgot her flood insurance. She looked at him and said son, did you come from Nashville up here and he said yes. She said do you remember coming up a great big long hill to get here and he thought for a minute and said yes. She said that is why I did not include flood insurance cause the only flood that would have reached that house has already happened. Now I do want Earthquake insurance was her next statement. He opened up a folder and searched for it and turned out his company didn't offer it. She looked at him and said then you can't help me. I showed him to the door and on the way to the door he asked me if she was serious about Earthquake Insurance and I said Yep and that is why your leaving.

I believe you Eric. I was going by what the Fake News here in Nashvile said. It was not a typo error. It was a fake new error...........

I was just watching the news and they said ya'll had 2 quakes. 1st one was 3.3 which can be scary but I imagine the one most of ya'll felt was the 8.8 according the earthquake center.

And that Fault Line is still there so it can still happen at any time but research had shown the fault line has been quiet since the early 1900's

That quake form Reel Foot lake in extreme west Tennessee.

I just think Red Flag laws do more harm than good. Anyone that does not like you for any reason can file a complaint and get your guns taken away before any Due Process has taken place in court. I think there should be very strict guidelines in which a complaint can be filed. Then I think it should be required that the Accused and Complaintant should be required to face each other in a court of law and the complaintant must prove his/her case beyond a shadow of a doubt before he can get the complaint filed. If the complaintant cannot prove their case they should be required to pay all court costs and attorneys fees for both people involved. Knowing that they could end up losing and paying all of this may cause them to think twice before filing a false report...................JMHO

If you like movies like that one you might like the Philadelphia Experiment. Link to it is below that tells about it. It is also kind of science fiction but I have watched it several times and enjoy it each time. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087910/

Well maybe to many these days it is like 4th of July Furniture sale but to me it was a very tragic time in our nations history and many people lost their lives that day and many days for 4 years after it. We have to remember Pearl was only the beginning of what was to follow it..............JMHO To forget Pearl Harbor is like forgetting 9/11. They both cost 1000's of lives that day and people & troops are still dying today from it............JMHO

" Trying to erase history doesn't change it." You are very correct with this statement here. They think removing statues and other things in our nations history is going to make history go away or be changed somehow. There is nothing you can do to change the past. The only thing people can hope for is a better future................JMHO

I heard back several years ago of a pair of Black Panthers in the state of Florida that people actually had pictures of and said they were thought to be living in the Everglades. Some folks said the pictures where photo shopped but others say they weren't. I don't know but I would guess if they did exist they were probably smuggled into the country from Africa by some exotic collector and somehow got released. but I have not heard of anyone here actually seeing a black big cat.................

Did everyone including myself fail to remember Pearl Harbor. I know there are only a few World War II veterans left but that is no excuse to not remember that day. I'm guilty of it and it is the first year I let it slip passed me. God Bless all that died on that fateful day and I hope to never let it slip past me again.................

You don't shovel wet snow, You just walk through it to your vehicle unless it is garage kept. It's Tennessee, just wait about 1/2 day and it will probably be gone anyway..........

Sorry to hear about around your area. I don't want any thing but some Snow and not all that other stuff. I grew up in snow country and played in it my whole childhood. I'm gonna be 71 on January 25th if I live that long and I would love to just be able to walk out my door into about 4 or 5 inches of nice white snow one more time in my life....................

I'm Jealous!!!! You folks are having all the fun. That picture made me more jealous.................

December 7th was two days ago and I can't find a post on here about honoring Pearl Harbor. Did I just miss it??
