That’s pretty stupid unless they want to open the door to giving every UK car owner carte blanche to drive cars without emission controls.

Haha, fair enough. But since I didn’t know who actually was doing it or where the fireworks even were on the street, I figured it wasn’t much use calling it in.

Congratulations, Mr. MoreBikesThanBrains, on COTD today! I would like to gift you with a Prius which this lovely lady will deliver to you as soon as she takes the price tag off her shoe.

When our old dog passed away (he was a giant lab mix and 14 years old) I could not talk about it with anyone except my husband for weeks. We would sit and ugly cry for 30 minutes at a time for weeks. He was losing his sight, his hearing and going slowly senile, but he was one of the first things that we did as a…

So many losses for everyone this week.

So sorry for your loss. She looked like a real sweetheart. And how lucky she was to be so loved.

I am so sorry. She was an adorable dog.

I’m sorry for your puppy loss, she looks like she was a real sweetie! Also, if you want to talk to someone on the phone about it, check if there are any Pet Loss Hotlines for your area (my university’s vet program runs one, so maybe one of the schools near you does!)

I lost my old doggie a few weeks ago. Her passing was incredibly hard on me and my husband. We are just starting to come out of it now. Our silly, fluffy kitty is helping. Just squeeze those other fur babies and remember the good times. And I love the pictures you included with your post. She looks like she was…

What’s up guys?

Last week on SNS I posted about my father’s impending death, and so many of you replied to me with your own stories of dealing with dying loved ones. It was more helpful than you can imagine. I just wanted to update and say that my dad died early on Sunday morning, about 10 hours after I posted my story here. It was…

A broken clock is right twice a day too...

My family originates from Irish peasant stock, which contributes to a somewhat no-nonsense attitude to death. When I was about six, my grandfather died in Ireland. Far-flung sons, daughters and their families gathered for the funeral.

With this mystery solved, we can go back to the biggest crime being Papa John’s describing its food-like product as “pizza”.

50 kilos of cocaine were found on the sabreliner. Officials don’t know what drug ring was running the 40 kilos of cocaine, but they’re going to take the 30 kilos down to the station and put it in evidence. The 20 kilos of cocaine will be withdrawn if needed for court proceedings.

I wont say this is the worst looking car by any means but FIFTY FUCKING GRAND? JFC I had no idea they cost that much.

I couldn’t stand the gearing and the infotainment system was absolutely maddening.

...and the U.S. can no longer be in denial of the huge strategic impact that a Chinese military exclusion zone could mean for the region and the world

Bingo. Plus, if you’ve never backed a trailer before, go find a big empty parking lot (I’m in Utah, so there are thousands of Mormon churches) and practice for an hour. You’ll learn an uncommon, incredibly handy lifelong skill.

I regularly will run into 7/11 to grab something and leave the kids in the car as unbuckling all 3 and then getting them back in would take much longer than sprinting in, grabbing what I need and come back to the car, while they are safely parked right infront of the store, which I can see the entire time. I still…
