I had a GMC Blazer once that was the "victim". Whether hitting a deer or sitting at a red light and a huge piece of ice falls on the windshield or someone runs a red light and hits me or someone changed lanes and hit me or having a turkey in full flight take off the drivers side mirror...... Haven't had an issue since I got rid of that vehicle. I swear that white Blazer had a huge red invisible target on it.

My son killed his first grouse this past weekend. We weren't hunting grouse, and he wasn't even carrying a gun. We were walking through the woods checking our trail cameras when he flushed the grouse out of some brush. It flew down over an embankment about 150 yards and into the path of car. They are tricky to hit with a shotgun, but at least they are edible afterwards.

The aforementioned Mustang has $7500 damage from the hail. The hood and trunk have to be replaced. I stopped at the body shop after meeting with the adjustor. I am #85 on their list of hail damage customers, but I think they will slide me up the list since (a) this is the third time the car has been there in 12 months, and (b) I had a check in hand from the adjustor.

Every time I got the hail damage fixed, it would hail again. It got to the point that I stopped getting it fixed.

“Use of Q-Tips, keys, bobby pins, etc. in the ear canal [to clean out wax] poses significant health hazards to a patient’s hearing health—these types of objects generally push a majority of the wax further into the ear. At this point, it becomes impacted against the eardrum, which can be quite uncomfortable.â€
Keys???

Keys??? I've seen it happen. At a former employer there was this crusty old collector who would clean his ears with his keys, clean his fingernails with his pocketknife, then use the same pocketknife (without cleaning it!) to cut up an apple. :shudder:

If the order-taker at the drive-thru has to have me repeat my order 3 times, why did he/she ask, "Hi - what can I get for you today?" If you're not ready to take the order, tell me you'll be with me in a moment, and focus on the order when I give it the first time.

How long will I have to hear Bowie's Fashion in my head? It has been two weeks.... Fashion! Turn to the left. Fashion! Turn to the right. Oooh, fashion! We are the goon squad and we're coming to town. Beep-beep, beep-beep! I'll trade you the Justin Timberlake "Can't Stop the Feeling" earworm. I like Bowie....

All of the folks I know are working today. Not wearing red, wearing black with some splashes of gray and lime green thrown in.
