    Why?

    WHY ?..... because your tongue is probably frozen
  3. It saves chasing it out the out house door as it rolls across the yard.:bang head:
  4. I have actually used the aspirin trick a few times. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I actually got another 6 months out of one, but in the end you still eventually replace the battery.

  6. Snow day...???? You have got tobe kidding....!!!!!! Why when I was your age we never heard of such a thing we walked through three feet of snow, uphill both ways :snow2::snow2:.....
  7. Funny I was just letting my wife read this thread and she up and say's the same thing.....Where do they come up with this stuff:think::think: Then she follows this by telling me a woman she works with has her husband and boys TRAINED.....to sit while using the toilet at all times:scared:
  8. Ok That would be unfair, because the Guy's would always have to raise and lower 2 items, while the the Gal's would only have to raise and lower 1 item. And thats exactly my point Why is it only us wise few grasp that
  9. I have to agree and am sorry for the family. prayers sent
  10. Here is why I feel it should come from the back----when it is over the front and I give the portion I want a quick snap to tear it of the roll, the the roll keeps spinning and next thing there is a big pile of toilet paper on the floor under an empty roll. If I let it hang from the back and give it a quick snap to tear of a piece the roll just stops, and does not spill out on the floor.

    Why?

    why what
  12. My wife say's when putting up the toilet paper the free end should come down in front of the roll....I say it should come down behind the roll...so which is it....:think::think:
  13. I'll bet if you sent it to the Japanese, they would figure out how to make it smaller...:rotfl:
  14. Thats awsome I always love riding horses in the snow ( preferably without ice under the snow) Thats getting a little heavy handed, is it not Don after all its only a little bit of water Mini dripped on you.:rotfl: Hey Bobby, I did say a little nippy, I said nothing about being cold or that I am ready to stop riding yet.
  15. it is now 2:57 am and I just rode home from working on my motorcycle. Along the way I was thinking it was a mite nippy out.---When I got home I decided to check the outdoor thermometer.--- Well what can I say the mercury was sitting at 27 deg F ( -6 C ).---kinda explains it don't it
  16. Actually the bike runs on both depending on which has the most to deliver. When running, the bike uses power from the stater, and any access voltage is taken up and stored in the battery. When stator voltage drops below what the battery has to offer the bike starts using what has been stored in the battery. Obviously if the stator continues to not meet the electrical systems demand, the battery eventually runs down. The amount of time it would take to run down the battery would depend on the quality and condition of the battery. To buy a bigger and better battery, because you have added extra load demand to the bike, is only buying time. Only if the stator output is able to excced the demand placed on the electrical system, and still have enough surplus to charge the battery at the same time, will you have the correct set up. In short all the battery really needs, is to have enough power to reliably crank over your bike when you want to start it, after that it is up to the stator to both carry the electrical load and be able to recharge your battery at the same time
  17. Only vrrrrm vrrrm must be a second gen.....how could i tell?......first gens go zooom zooom. :dancefool: Rode to work yesterday it was nice out .....rode home from work yesterday....got soaked in the pouring rain
  18. Saddly I have to go along with what Snarly bill say's we are human and we are prone to making mistakes, I too have had a close call a time or two that could have resulted in a bad situation, sometimes we just happen to look in the wrong direction at the wrong time or a vehicale is in our blind spot. How often have we pulled out of a parking lot and stopped (or not ) at the curb of a street instead of before crossing that side walk used by pedestrians and bicyclists, think about it However in a case of DUI caused manslaughter (because no one gets accidently drunk) , or a case were a person was obviously careless as in texting, using a cell phone, getting dressed, or applying makeup, I feel the offender should be punished. . In Holland, if you get in a accident and the officer smells alcohol on your breath you are automaticly also at fault regardless of what happend or how little you had to drink. A bit harsh maybe but in some circumstances, good judgment and reflexes good have compansated for the other drivers mistake and avoided or minimized the end result.
  19. We all I am sure, are aware that chocolate is bad fo dogs. Well so apparently are raisins. If you have a dog ... PLEASE read this and send it on. If you don't have a dog, please pass along to friends who do. Written by: Laurinda Morris, DVM Danville Veterinary Clinic Danville, OH This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix that ate half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1 AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't call my emergency service until 7 AM. I had heard somewhere about raisins and grapes causing acute Renal failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her bring the dog in immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard something about it, but... Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center and they said to give IV fluids at 1 & 1/2 times maintenance and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72 hours. The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was already at 32 (normal is less than 27) and creatinine over 5 (1.9 is the high end of normal). Both are monitors of kidney function in the bloodstream. We placed an IV catheter and started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine over 7 with no urine production after a liter of fluids. At that point I felt the dog was in acute renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight as well as overnight care. He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values continued to increase daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting medications and they still couldn't control his vomiting. Today his urine output decreased again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure, which had been staying around 150, skyrocketed to 220 ... He continued to vomit and the owners elected to Euthanize. This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners who had no idea raisins could be a toxin. Please alert everyone you know who has a dog of this very serious risk. Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic. Many people I know give their dogs grapes or raisins as treats including our ex-handler's. Any exposure should give rise to immediate concern. Onions, chocolate, cocoa, avocadoes and macadamia nuts can be fatal, too. Even if you don't have a dog, you might have friends who do. This is worth passing on to them. Confirmation from Snopes about the above .... www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/raisins.asp
  20. Squidley, I remember that post well, and so I guess due to the circumstances, We can forgive you this one time and overlook it. But you still better not roll over on us.....After all what we ever do without Lonna,s cheese c----I ah mean you.
  21. Hey Squidley how come your Harley is listed first and gets a longer billing:think:>>>>>>"'79 Electra Glide/'89 VR" it should be >>>>>>"89 Venture Royale / 79 HD " Are you rolling over on us
  22. How did we let that slip past us
  23. Drinking and riding is how a good friend of mine ended up in a coma for 2 months last April and would have been dead had it not been for the fact that a Doctor and Nurse happened to be right there on the scene. He is up and about today although still living in a group home for brain injured people, but is improving all the time.
  24. That better not apply to Lonna's baking:95:
