WOW.....For some odd reason, I loved that song when it was out. I was in the seventh grade at the time. It took a long time to find it on Napster years ago. Mime has a mix of several, mostly old county, but like a previous poster, John Prine is in HEAVY rotation. "Standing by Peaceful Waters"

Actually, according to just about any of the Chevy forums you could look at, it's a fairly common problem. I bought my '03 GMC brand new, and it's had the "cold start tic" since break-in. After 117000 miles, it has yet to cause a problem.

Evidently not....And it must be a "crabapple" tree at that.

"19. Naifeh" Ain't it nice, for a change, to see THIS name on the losing side?

I'm not trying to make a point OR an "affectation". I was merely trying to clear up what I thought was a misreading of my original post. I don't need for you to correct anything for me, thank you just the same. If you don't like the choice of fonts, take away the choice. If you don't like the post, don't read it. Other than that, I couldn't care less.

Mars, Just to make sure, you did see the "not" in my sentence. While I've always liked Harmon, he has a tendency to take the "pretty boy" parts. However, his character on this show, makes the show. If he had stayed "retired" a couple of seasons ago, I would have probably quit watching it.

Past: Deadwood (when it was on) Have all three seasons on DVD, but still watch the reruns on HBO. Dead Like Me (when it was on) Current: The Unit A little hokey sometimes, but like the characters. NCIS Mark Harmon not playing his usual "pretty boy". The Tudors Never liked the period, but the kids got me into this one. Californication Best show currently on. "Hank Moody" , what can I say.

A word of friendly advice. Take some night classes and have a back-up career ready. That is, unless you are originally from Indianapolis.

Evidently the employer has to pay you your mormal wage minus the jury fee. And, by the way, I've never been summoned. Jury Duty Leave for Employees in Tennessee (taken from: http://business.uschamber.com/P98/P98_05_4340_TN.asp In Tennessee, employers may not discharge or in any manner discriminate against an employee because the employee is summoned for jury duty and gives the required notice prior to taking jury duty leave This provision does not apply to employers who regularly employ less than five employees. Additionally, employees summoned for jury duty that work a night shift or a shift preceding the hours in which court is normally held, must be granted leave for the shift immediately preceding the employee's first day of jury duty. After the first day of service, when the employee's responsibility for jury duty exceeds three hours a day, then the employee must be granted leave from the next scheduled work period occurring within 24 hours of such day of jury duty. Notice requirements. An employee summoned for jury duty must exhibit the summons to the employer the next working day to be excused from employment for jury duty, if such service exceeds three hours. Prior to each day's service, upon request of the juror, the person responsible shall provide the juror's employer with a statement that shows the number of hours that the employee spent serving as a juror if the service was less than three hours. Paid time off. The employee is entitled to the usual compensation for employment, less the fee received for jury service (the employer has discretion not to deduct the fee).

Well, being in Kalifornia, he could only swing the bat 10 times anyway.

Unless something has changed, From 39-17-1351 (q) (1) Prior to the expiration of a permit, a permit holder may apply to the department for the renewal of the permit by submitting, under oath, a renewal application with a renewal fee of fifty dollars ($50.00). The renewal application shall be on a standard form developed by the department of safety and shall require the applicant to disclose, under oath, the information concerning the applicant as set forth in subsection ©, and shall require the applicant to certify that the applicant still satisfies all the eligibility requirements of this section for the issuance of a permit. In the event the permit expires prior to the department's approval or issuance of notice of denial regarding the renewal application, the permit holder shall be entitled to continue to use the expired permit; provided, however, that the permit holder shall also be required to prove by displaying a receipt for the renewal application fee that the renewal application was delivered to the department prior to the expiration date of the permit.

I don't know when prayer was stopped, but I can assure you, corporal punishment was "alive and kicking" here in the early 70's.

(Part of original text posted by "Mousegunner") “If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.” In other words, homeowners are allowed by God’s Law to defend themselves against burglars who break in at night. I am by no means a Bible scholar, but by this definition, if the burglar breaks in during the day, you're not allowed to defend yourself. I would take to mean: "If a burglar be found to be breaking in, and be smitten that he die" At this point, you are unsure of his intentions and are therefore in fear of life and limb. = Justification "If the sun be risen upon him" At this point, time has past, the sun has had time to rise, you are no longer in danger. All that has happened is that you have lost some property. Now it's just revenge. Instead he is required to make restitution. "Varmint"

Welcome, I don't have the same hardware that you do, but I DO also have a daughter that lives in Watertown. "Varmint"

Have been lurking off and on for awhile. Figured I'd stick my head in and say hello. "Varmint"
