Cops these days ...

I'm not saying throw the book at them, if he wanted to let them off with a warning fine, just keep your police job and school job separate.

Actually Police officers that work at the schools are still employed by the police department, not by the school.........

Shrimp Fettuchine Alfredo.

Boil the noodles, it takes a long time to cook those - they're pretty thick. When the noodles are almost done, put the peeled and cut up shrimp in there and they're done almost as soon as they hit the water.

Pour all of that into a strainer and then dose in a jar of alfredo suace. Maybe some canned/jarred mushrooms too.

Delicious.

The argument about punishing the parents .... I have to raise the BS flag. Like I said, if my kid does it, easy enough, he doesn't drive anymore .... period! My insurance will actually go down cause I'll take him off of it .... oh yea, that car he drives is in my name, not his, so no, he won't be driving it.

All I'm saying is not every parent is like you.........And I don't think it's really fair to penalize a parent for the actions of their children when they aren't their and have no control over what they are doing.......And at that their will be a certain amount of parents that will just pay the fines and just tell their kids not to drive like that again and hand them back the keys and they will be driving the next day.......And don't think that getting a ticket for speeding or whatever they were doing is going to stop them or teach them any sort of lesson........put it this way, did the last speeding ticket you got stop you from speeding??.....You just paid the fine and kept on doing it, didn't you??.......... And you know why that is??....Because no one made you do anything to account for your actions, you just paid a fine and went on doing what you do without thinking twice about it...........

ever try corn and eggs they rule!!! try it and you will like it

btw - when i got my ticket for 96 in a 20, my foot got alot lighter!!
when the construction worker threw his hard hat and cussed me good, I slowed down
when our assistant principal told me not to let me "catch u doing this again" I lit um up as I drove away
when I lost a week of driving to school, I stopped, for a while
I only seemed to learn when it costed me something.

If you've ever had fried turkey, you know it's better than any turkey you've ever had.

Maybe it's a Southern Thing. You can buy a turkey fryer at Victoria's Secret in Atlanta, from what I've heard.

Three and a quarter by three and a quarter. 325 degrees times three and a quarter minutes per pound. Peanut oil.

Don't do it on a wooden deck. You'll set your house aflame. Do it in the yard. A part of the yard you don't care about ruining.

Good stuff.

Mark, WTF is your problem

For me, I grew up in a small town, population: right around 2000 people. Guess what? All these people knew each other. Most of us didn't DARE do stupid vehicular stuff in town, because our parents were just a phone call away. A few did, and they ended up without a car for their troubles. We still did stupid stuff, but we did it out in the boonies so out chances of getting caught were greatly reduced. And I don't know about anyone else, but at that age, I was way more scared of what my Dad would do to me than what kind of ticket the cops would write me.

The memory of getting caught skipping school in the car is still very vivid. That wasn't a pretty sight...

I think the egg came before the chicken
If a tree falls in the woods it does make a sound
and yes Bears do $hit in the forest

Wow... you sure know a lot about me. The last speeding ticket I got was the day I took my physical to get hired by the S/O, I was 21 years old. It was 48 in a 35 (that section of roadway was raised to a 45 mph zone about 4 years later) ..... 4 point violation, $144 fine. I plea bargained it down to a defective vehicle 0 point $77 fine with the agreement that I would complete 2 Saturdays of defensive driving classes which were $65 a class ..... so to answer your question, NO I DID NOT JUST PAY THE FINE AND BE DONE WITH .... I took care of it, took the ass chewing from my Dad (yea he still told me what to do and made me responsible when I was 21 yrs old), took an ass chewing from the judge, paid the fine and did the classes .... oh yea, and I had to explain what happened to the Sheriff's Dept and throw myself on their mercy so they would still hire me.

And you point out that the parents will just toss the keys back to the kid .... well shame on them, hopefully they won't have to deal with their bad decision if the kid kills someone down the road.
