    I am high bidder on a Chevy truck going off on Fleabay today. Seller advertised it as a 5.7 ( 350 cube )Vortec engine. Vin number says it is a 7.4 ( 454 cube ). Just got off the phone and told the guy I did not want the truck since the vin says it is suppose to have a 7.4 in it. I don't want the gas hog 7.4.. He says I am required to purchase it. I think the engine has been changed out..

    My dad went to a local medical supply store and bought a raised toilet seat for my mom who recently had a stroke. They asked me to install it and when I got instructions out is clearly states that it will not fit all commodes. Now they will not give him his money back as there policy. They are on a fixed income so I bought it off them.

    I took it down and explained to the employee and asked to talk to owner who had to make the call. Owner would not speak to me. I left the seat there and said its useless to me.

    Question: if you owned the building that overlooks this medical company's parking lot would you put up a sign? [:(!]......what would you do?

    I put my Jennings on the auction side. A guy bid and won. After a couple e-mails from him as he was going to go threw with the sale and now I get this e-mail.

    "My FFL would not allow the purchase of a gun with you not being an license
    holder. I am weary about buying arms off the internet from nonlicenesed
    folks. Sure it is legally yours and all, but still. My gun guy said no, so
    i am going to have to pass on it.
    Sorry "

    I hate to totally leave a negetive feedback as I did talk to his FFL on the phone and this FFL does not believe he can accept the gun from a private party. He didn't even believe it was legal for a private individual to ship a gun.

    But on the same token I think the buyer could have found another FFL to complete the sale.

    What would you do?

    Also how do I get the charges lifted from GB since the sale is not going to happen?

    You are about to take a short test. It consists of only one question which is very, very important. Don't answer too quickly or without thinking. Answer truthfully and you will test your moral fiber.


    It is an imaginary situation, in which you have to make a decision. Remember, you have to give a spontaneous answer, but it must be truthful.

    (Scroll down slowly to ensure the test is accurate...)





    You are in Florida.....



    ....in Miami, to be exact.



    You are in the midst of the chaos of tremendous flooding after a hurricane.....



    .....unbelievable amounts of water everywhere.



    You are a photographer for CNN.......




    ....and here you are, in the middle of an historic disaster.




    The situation seems almost without hope.



    You're trying to shoot some great pictures that capture the scene...



    ....while all around you the flood swirls, houses float away, people disappear



    The power of nature is unleashed mercilessly with its all its fury . .

    .


    ...and takes everything with it.




    Suddenly, you see a woman in an SUV....



    She's struggling valiantly not to be swept away by the mass of debris in the flood.




    You wade closer, against an angry current.



    She seems somehow familiar.



    Then you see her--it is Hillary Roddam Clinton!




    Sudden, you notice that the rising flood is about to sweep her away, forever.



    You have to make a choice: Save her, or snap the picture of your career!!!



    Save her, or take the photo that will win you the Pulitzer prize.




    One photo, which records the horrible accidental death of one of the most important women in the world....



    Now, the question (answer truthfully!):

    (scroll down)








    Glossy or matte finish?

    When i was working i was the lead maintenance person for my department. The Project manager would tell everyone i was the hardest working person he has ever seen. I would work 40 or 50 hours at a time on several occasions to make sure the job got done.

    Well another company offered me the job to be project manager and my boss told me that if i stayed i would get his job when he moved up. When he moved up someone else got the job instead of me. I asked why i did not get the job and he told me that if i got the job who would get the work done. I cussed him out because he went back on his word. He told me i make more money than anyone in the company. Why take a pay cut to be a manager? I told him i have worked harder than anyone in the company. I am out on berevment and you call me to work. I never told you i could not come in and fix something. I told him it was like a slap in the face. Along with lots of cuss words.

    Now i cant work and he has been trying to come see me and i keep telling him i dont feel like company. He always asks my friends how i am doing. Would you let him visit. I guess i am getting soft.

    this is a serious question.
    i have a chance to but my dream car, a 2004 dodge viper.
    the price is right, but the mrs says no car loans.
    between the trade in and some cash, i'm still $8K shy.
    the seller will finance the balance at $500/mo with 10% interest if i give him $10k of my guns as collateral. he's trustworthy but the interest rate is high.
    i could just sell $8000 of guns and be done with it, but.......
    guns continue to appreciate and cars depreciate, i know that, but will the guns appreciate more than what the loan costs?
    any accountants out there?
    thanks

    Giant asteroid could hit Earth in 2014
    Tuesday, September 2, 2003 Posted: 11:38 AM EDT (1538 GMT)


    LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A giant asteroid is heading for Earth and could hit in 2014, U.S. astronomers have warned British space monitors.

    But for those fearing Armageddon, don't be alarmed -- the chances of a catastrophic collision are just one in 909,000.

    Asteroid "2003 QQ47" will be closely monitored over the next two months. Its potential strike date is March 21, 2014, but astronomers say that any risk of impact is likely to decrease as further data is gathered.

    On impact, it could have the effect of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs, a spokesman for the British government's Near Earth Object Information Centre told BBC radio.

    The Centre issued the warning about the asteroid after the giant rock was first observed in New Mexico by the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research Program.

    "The Near Earth Object will be observable from Earth for the next two months and astronomers will continue to track it over this period," said Dr Alan Fitzsimmons, one of the expert team advising the Centre.

    Asteroids such as 2003 QQ47 are chunks of rock left over from the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. Most are kept at a safe distance from the Earth in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

    But the gravitational influence of giant planets such as Jupiter can nudge asteroids out of these safe orbits and send them plunging towards Earth.

    The point of the question isn't whether or not you would react logically and display civil behavior- What's being asked is: If you know that life as you presently know it were to end in two weeks, how would you spend that time? I would spend it how I spend every day- knowing it could be the last that I'll have, but hoping to live another day- something I learned nearly forty years ago on the other side of the Pacific ocean.

    Can you make that July or August instead?

    I'd like to go for a long putt on my scooter. Wouldn't worry about maxing out some charge cards along the way, eating at some places that I wouldn`t normally go to, seeing sights etc. (if they were open)

    what kind of scooter you got...lets ride I have a burgman 400

    40 Some odd days huh? I would do my best to keep food on the table for my family and defend my home and stock up on survival stuff all the while preparing for my turn to face God. If I didn't have a family I would probably try to get to a spot where I could watch the greatest impact known to man and save myself the heartach of trying to survive in a world that doesn't want me to.

    Gather the family-- brother, sisters, daughters, sons-in-law, grandson,any neices/nephews available--lay in survival supplies and wait and see what develops.

    Already got the supplies. Just go ahead, arm the claymores, see that the youn'uns stay out of the fields of fire. Wait and see what happens. In the meantime, forget about closed seasons and bag limits![:p]

    it would be futile trying to do 'whatever I always wanted to do' because there would be thugs out everywhere raping, robbing, etc. the cops couldn't stop them. the national guard couldn't stop them. hell, they'd probably toss their badges in a bush and join them. whatever cops you ran across, you couldn't trust them to act like a legitimate cop either. who knows what the army might try to do. there may be so many AWOL they couldn't do a thing either. what's the point??

    it would be futile to try to go stock up on ammo. I'm sure the shelves would be barren by the time I got to any store. and the ppl who own any such store probably would have taken it all and took off already.

    I might try to get some food from the closest grocery store. I probably wouldn't get much. no matter what I got, it wouldn't last forever.

    the water wouldn't last long.

    so what could I do then to pass the time? either hole up in my house and wait for the inevitable gun battle with someone trying to get what little I got, or run about and risk getting shot wherever I go or even when I'm sleeping. I'm sure wherever I go I won't be but a few hundred yards out of range of somebody's scope.

    I don't think I'd last the whole 43 days. I'd probably die of starvation or thirst or get shot.

    after the impact, the world would turn into a living hell anyways. chances of starvation or dying of thirst would increase astronomically. so what's the point? death is all but guaranteed.

    I'd probably rely on a bottle of rum and a .45 to make it all go away.

    Yep, there is a solution. Or have him redirect it to a direct hit in the middle east.[;)]
