shhh you have already said too much.......they can use this against you.

I would argue that the vehicle was not "parked". I would look into the legal definition of "parked vehicle".

I would fight it, there are a lot of agruments that can be used.

Funny enough I got one of these on Friday.

I also got one in the past, I emailed the address they give you if you are disputing the ticket saying I was picking someone up and you can clearly see me in the photo. They emailed back and cancelled the ticket, so I will be doing that again with this one.

Ok, I don't know anything about your situation but can only assume she isn't happy in her marriage... Just don't be THAT guy, if you honestly care for her, let her make her decision to leave or stay with her husband without "clouding" the issue, and that probably means staying the eff away from her. If she leaves on her own accord, you might have something worth persuing... If she simply hops into a relationship with you that is pretty indicative of a major character flaw on her part and I would be staying out of that mess. Not exactly a foundation of trust.

I have only had that happen on my filtered water line, when the filter was only partially opening the valve. There was an initial burst of water out, and then just a trickle.

Anyway, you should check the water meter to make sure you are not leaking water somewhere. Maybe s trickle from the faucet, but gushing under the sink.

Illigitimate love child is a better descriptor.


Now who are you related to on here?

[Wormius]

Has Iginlas' hate of Israel and Iran pretty much solidified his identity as puckluck? Not that it's impossible for multiple CPers to have the same family history, but...

When you make a reservation at the Steak Pit in Bragg Creek they do one up for your table for free. They were still doing it a year and a half ago when I went. Cheap, easy and you get to go out for steak.

This spring we went and I didn't find the steak that great, that and they did not have a sign made for us. They said they would call us when it was ready and they never did.

Oh, and I almost forgot..they only gave me a small side of ranch.

[Misterpants]

Yeah, I can't say I'm overly shocked at that review. Not my first choice for a $40 steak, that's for sure.

Anyone know a good place to source beef back ribs? They seem pretty tough to find in town.

(I am talking about raw, not cooked ribs)

Should be able to get them through a butcher shop. I used to use these guys years ago when I used to throw a big annual party.

Haven't been there in 4-5 years so I can't say for sure.

I'm looking to build a HTPC to add to my home network on a budget. I have everything mostly taken care of, except for allocating storage.

Basically I have just shy of 2TB of storage, which is plenty for me but it is in the form of random hard drives that come in all shapes and sizes:

128gb SSD
750gb 3.5"
500gb 3.5"
256gb 3.5"
320gb 2.5"
and I think a 40gb 2.5 inch kicking around somewhere

My main PC is already using the SSD for the OS.
My plan was to find a decent 60gb SSD for the HTPC OS, so that both systems OS's are running on SSD's and then compile the remaining HDD into the main storage for all of the media.

What I'm wondering is what is the best way to put these random sized HDD's to good use? They would probably be inefficient in RAID, I'm on a budget, so I don't really want to build a NAS. Could I throw them all into my main PC and run them in the network from there? Can you compile them all so that they appear as one partition?

Thanks

I want to buy that appliance Dairy Queen has to mix Blizzards...anybody know where I can get one? Blenders don't work and neither do hand blenders.
