When Kerry got punched, he tore into the guy and hit him back - and Kerry got ISD (in school detention) for tomorrow, and will miss his last band rehearsal before the concert. The principal said she knew Kerry reacted by reflex and that he had a right to defend himself, but "there are consequences."

At the start of the school year, Patrick was bugging one of his friends in gym class and the kid punched Patch square in the nose. It bled on and off for most of that day.

On the bright side, I did convince the powers that be to let Kerry out of jail to go to band so he could rehearse with them for tonight. Epilepsy.

Polaris Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I had to work in a group poster project during 1st period. The group blamed me for writing on the poster something that someone else had said. The whole group was fine with it until it was written down. That class always pisses me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Total greed on the train. An old, hobbit-like lady probably somewhere between the age of 80-150 was trying to get off the train but some impatient maggots on the platform couldn't wait to board so they were pushing her back. She was spinning at one point. Felt sad for her and total rage towards the half dozen or so commuters that pretended like they didn't notice her and pushed her back inside. As for me, I felt helpless as I was on another platform watching the whole thing. Hope some misfortune finds those maggots before the day's end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a saint, LC!My wife bless her put up with my snoring for so many years but I haven't snored much if any for the last couple years. It's weird but it really stopped a couple years ago when I lost weight and decided to get in some kind of decent shape. This was even before my sinus surgery and septum repair and all the other things that have been done to clear my sinuses and try to keep them that way. That has obviously helped some too. My grandparents never slept in the same room for at least the last 40 years of their lives due to my grandfathers snoring. I suggested to my wife to do the same years ago but it never happened... :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) I took my van (16 years old and just turned 200,000 miles) down the street to the gas station as I typically do each morning just get a drink and a coffee for my wife. When I got back and parked in the driveway I got out and noticed water pouring from under the engine area . I have had issues with retaining coolant/water for a couple years now and have had the radiator replaced and some hoses etc but have seen nothing like this. I had AAA come this morning and tow it to my repair shop and am now holding my breath for the bad news. We survived with one vehicle for a long time until just recently but truth be told I really don't want to go back to that arrangement again if at all possible. There is no way I could justify dumping a bunch of money into that van at this point and truth is I don't have it anyway. We'll see soon how this shakes out. It's always something... :sigh: Edited September 8, 2015 by Narps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours finally rusted out last year, it was 20 yrs. old and had 250,000 + miles on it. The engine was still running well but our garage guy told us the body was about to collapse everywhere and no way would it pass PA state inspection. :( Good luck.

Previous to this van we had a Grand Caravan for many years too. All of these vans have the same parts and engines etc. I have changed many a engine part and other things on both of them in the past so I know my way around under the hood. I appreciate the kind words of encouragement but there are no hoses or anything else in the area where that water was coming from. I didn't go under and check because I just don't have "it" anymore to do so and even if I figured out the problem I can no longer do the repairs myself anyway :( . We shall see.

The water pump is toward the left bottom side of the engine with the serpentine belt wound through it and believe me I have seen water leak from a water pump or two and this water is coming from under the middle of the engine and a ways back. Anyway I will update when I finally get the call from the mechanic as to the problem.
