Reply to Weather Radars in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

I live in the states, and have ALWAYS wanted to see an actual tornado, no luck after 33 years. My state gets over 100 a season usually (I think - sounds high?) I constantly watch the radars on intellicast.com when severe weather approaches. I am fascinated by severe weather and absolutely love thunderstorms.

Can you keep an eye on my kids for a year? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

As I sit watching the news each day, I keep wondering - will I get the call? My brother and his wife are both in the U.S. Army Reserve. She is a Major and he is an NCO. They have an 18 month old son, who I adore and she is due in Dec with the second child. She is currently activated, but fortunately due to her pregnancy is stationed across town and comes

I have a low tolerance for drunks with no money who fail to mention it. I got a call to a south side address at 3:30 in the morning. My first attempt to find them resulted in a no-show . I called the customer who told me that a dunk woman had asked them to call, and that he was proba

I am a trusting person - some say too trusting. More times than not, it has bitten me in the ass (or maybe we just remember the poor outcomes because of the sting?), but I still hold on to faith in people. I was driving near downtown early the other morning (6am or so) when a woman hailed me. I stopped the cab and she got in. She asked me if I was going

Glad you like it. I actually keep a list of stripclubs that are open after-hours for that occasional customer who doesn't want the party to end! We have quite a few that are open until 4am, and one 5am. There is a club that I wish were open after 2am - because they pay cab drivers $10 a head for bringing people in. I offer discounted trips to it, and a free ride for parties of 4 or 5. So guy - if you find three friends to go... l

That would be a YES on the smells stains! haha Thank you for the well wishes and tip. My sister also mentioned the magic eraser, but it would take me until next year. We are just priming over most of the artwork, which seems to be working out pretty well, because we will be repainting the entire house. We are credited for time worked in a rent reduction. So living with the daughter of the landlords has it's advantages. CD

Thank you, glad you are enjoying this. I am saddened to report that quantity has started to overrule quality at WC. They make 40 sandwiches at a time and keep them on the warmer griddle too long. The bottom buns are extremely soggy, and the sandwiches are not hot. However, I will remain a p

Short Shift in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I went to work around 7:00pm to get a cab and work a 12 hour shift. The only cab available when I arrived had an inoperative meter, so the cab was pretty much useless. I waited around, and finally got a cab at 8:45. I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes, which by comparison is a short wait. I have waited over 5 hours at times to get a cab (on weekend nights). The

Don't worry about wiping your feet. As I sit at the 7th gate of hell, it becomes obvious why I hate it here. The carpet was probably a solid color at one time, but that was before the previous tennant's pets and children were obviously left unsupervised for long periods of time. These children had time to eventually cover every wall. It is a

Taxi! in Welcome JoeUser Forums

The sights and sounds of a major midwetern city get even more unbelieveable after dark. I have been a cab driver for about 3 months now, and already have enough stories to fill a few chapters. In training, the underlying message was 'expect the unexpected' and 'seeing is beleiving followed by a therapist'. Seriously though, this is one of the mo
