Keep getting called about running a add in this local pee wee paper. I keep telling them that I am not interested "But we have saved a exclusive spot for a professional tree service like yours" HaHa, sure you are. They will not leave me alone! So yesterday, they happen to call me when I was already loosing my temper. I feel bad for what ensued after they asked to confirm my billing address. Poor girl, only doing her job. I left her shattered, tattered and torn. Think I will make a harassment report if they keep it up. I would rather break out all the windows at their office, but, I think it would be a waste of rocks.

I've begun getting phone calls and reminder notices from Bell for a nonexistent Bell Mobility acct supposedly in my name.
In part, the most recent letter (yesterday) states: "It is important that your payment is received by the date indicated below. should payment not be received the account will proceed into the collections process for recovery"
Amount they are trying to extort from me is $206.62
I tried explaining to them in a testy phone call that I have never ever been a Bell Mobility client, nor will I ever ever ever ever become one, but all to no avail. Might as well talk to wallpaper or frogs.
Gonna send them an invoice for squandering my / my wife's time, mental irritation, hypertension, and diminished enjoyment of life.

Unless the chipper has a title and is required to have a license plate, it is considered machinery, not "trailer". Without a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating GVWR for Mr.DOT to cite, he cannot give you a ticket for an over 10K machine. The actual weight is irrelevant, the only thing that counts on a CDL requirement is the GVWR.
in conn. the dot requires you to have a cdl driver with a class a if trailer is over 10,000# even if your pulling with a pickup under cdl gvw. were not in kansas anymore.

Its a war zone out there!
Yes, two dogs will leave you tired, out of breath and a little bloody... but its worth it!

I dunno, I have never lost and its kinda just a theory but if a dog is not trained to fight then its usually doesn't take to long before it realizes it doesn't like being beaten and runs away.

Even a trained watchdog or police dog is not really trained to fight. Attack yes, but not fight. Pitbulls are fighters.

I kinda fancy myself taking on a pack of wolves.

Larger dogs seem easier to fight, they have longer legs, get ahold of one of them and fling the animal into the ground. Get ahold of both front legs as its lunging, you can really hurt it by spreading their legs laterally.

The lunge is really the only thing a dog can do, that is pretty much their only technique. When they are lunging they are open.

Still, don't know if I am ready for a pitbull.


There is also pepper spray if you don't want to have a gun, straight blade or truncheon. Its real out there.
If you ever want to try a pit bull on for size stop by I've got two. Lol
