Woodpecker-Saving Daughter Costs Mom $500, Possible Jail Time

Problem is that is HER side of he story. For all we know the kid just grabbed the bird and wanted to keep it. Thats like cops having to let people go because they "did not see the sign". Nobody ever lies so we just have to believe them. Even then in this case give her a warning and move on...

If you live near Massachusetts

Either you heard it wrong or they left out a lot of info. The lottery is not going to limit the tickets as that hurts them. The limit is only on stores that are on probation for breaking the rules.

Selling my 2005 Honda Civic EX. Tips?

Try craigslist first. You can post for $8500 if you have time to sell or do $7900 if you want to get rid of faster and be done with it. I would start at the high 7's myself as KBB is bad and getting worse IMO. Check to see what cars like your are selling for on craigslist. Try to find the...

Where did you see that? The only limits I saw were to the stores that were breaking the rules. Others can still sell as many as they like.

Putin calls the U.S. a Parasite on the world

Seeing that Russia itself does not even have a AAA rating he needs to clean his own house up before he worries about others. I think Russia is still in the B range (triple BBB?)

Would this backsplash look good in this small half bathroom?

I came in just to say that. We did just about the whole wall flowing from the tube in our small bathroom.

Yea problem is you need 500k to do it and if someone does with the jackpot you lose bigtime. And now that these stories have got out more will play and the chances of the jackport being hit is greater. Best to save your 500k to later this year or early next year when it dies down again.

BS. Just because you heard it on the internet, or thought it up in a drunk stuper, does not make it true. After the flood: US$500,000 taken when Japan's tsunami cracks a bank safe "Police say the earthquake and tsunami that pulverized coastal Japan crippled a bank's security mechanisms, and...

I would skip the Jeep and Exp. Look for car SUVs like the CRV, Kia/Hyundai, Ford Escape, Chevy Equinox, etc... Also don't forget Subura (but make sure it is not from one of the years they had issues)

Best Fuel Economy in a new truck

did u build your first computer before you had your first girlfriend?

First girlfriend was well before my first computer. We were 12-13 and home computers were not that big. I think the Vic-20 or so was out but that was just about it.

Building an apartment in a 12' x 28' space

Make sure if they say its ok to get that in writing!!! One inspector/person can say yes then someone replaces them and all of a sudden you have to rip everything out. Where are you at?

Building an apartment in a 12' x 28' space

Might want to check to see if what you want to do is even legal. Check to see what the permit for the "shop" says when it was pulled. Was it setup as a family dwelling or a "shop"? When my dad built his business office/building on the same land as our house the inspector was looking for...
