seagulls eat them and their stomaches explode They don't explode, but they do eat them. I've seen seagulls eat all kinds of shit from plastic bags to bottle caps to crinkled up balls of tinfoil. I've even seen two seagulls fight over a used coffee filter stuffed with grounds. Out of all the things laying on the ground at Seaworld for a seagull to eat, a cigarette butt is a rather tame non-food. |

You would think the Tabacco companieswould put up more of a fight over where smokers can smoke. The truth is I like the indoor rules. In Florida the law states you can NOT smoke indoors UNLESS alcohol is more than I think 80% of your sales. But the outdoor think is killing me. Does anyone else here watch Penn and Teller Bullshit? If so remember the second hand smoke one. The one where the uncovered the fact it is impossible for people to get cancer from second hand smoke and the people who have had it got it from a source OTHER than cigarettes. I am in no way trying to say smoking is safe. It is about as safe as masturbating with a cigar cutter, but the fact remains it is a legal substance. Therfore I think it is unconstitutional for ANY establishment to setup areas outdoors for smokers. This is why i love going to see concerts at the new Ford Ampitheatre in Tampa. I sit on the lawn, drink and smoke. When somone complains I say Buy a reserved seat. They tell the cops, the cops say buy a reserved seat. THAT is MY Fucking America right there! You don't like it....move then jackass. I leave you all with this...  |

Oh man, those cheap flavored cigars are horrid. One of the sales managers insisted I try one of his peach flavored cigars. Cheap, dry tobacco mixed with this faint sweet peachy taste. It was awful, like smoking fermented road kill.

Years and years ago I was at the Florida/FSU game, a game the Gators actually beat FSU. After the game someone gave me a vanillia cigar. One of hte best tasting things I have ever smoked. I wish I had another one but I do not know a thing about it.

I'm going to have to make it a point to find a grape cigar even though I'm sure it's going to taste like ass. I'm morbidly curious.

A fucking car accident the day I get my license.
I was driving down the street, went by some plaza near my house, and this lady pulls out at the wrong time and scratches the car up after a yield sign. It only scratched the side of the car and dented it a little, nobody got hurt or anything, but god damn this stuff pisses me off. I managed to get most of the paint off from her car anyway.
Why on the first day? Is this going to be an omen for the rest of my driving life? Fucking hell.

Easy money. If the cosmetics of the car don't look too shabby, get an appraisal through your local body shop and have her send you a check. I assume the police were involved, right?
EDIT: On the topic of shitty things happening, my oldest son though it would be a great idea to put a couple of those mylar helium ballons into our ceiling fan. They ended up getting all tangled, the strongs wrenched off the four hanging lights, and the living room was showered in glorius sparks. Nobody was hurt, but now I have to buy a new ceiling fan. Pain in the ass.
On top of that, I got completely blindsided at work today with endless shit going wrong. Way too frustrating (not to mention boring) to even get into. Let's just say it sucks.

I don't even want them involved. I don't want her money, I don't want their business. I just want this to fucking end. The door is still functional. The car works. Nobody's hurt. I hate the yelling and the confusion. The sooner I get this out of my mind, the sooner I can go back to living. Edit: Regardless of what I wanted, my mom went down to the police station. The lady actually called my house before we left. She was fucking flipping out claiming that I hit her(the damage to my car is the back passenger's seat door  ) She was using the "I'm a Christian lady" crap before chewing out my mom. Maybe they're tight on money or something. Who knows. I'll just be glad when it's over. |

Because that would prevent her from suing my ass. We filed an accident report and called the insurance company. I think the woman who hit me is coming to look at the car tomorrow. If there's two things I know I'll see, it's the screaming match of a lifetime, and the look on the lady's face when she realizes she got fucking pwned because there's no way I could have hit her car and taken damage only to the side. Insurance money, here we come. |

Don't start counting the money yet. Insurance companies are crooked. If they refuse to pay, it goes to arbitration for like 3-6 months, and then even if you win you have to take them to court to get the money. That's what I'm looking at right now. Fortunately it wasn't my car or my insurance, so I don't give a shit. It was a work truck, and they have a lifespan of a few months anyway.

I'm not counting the money. I'm not even the one who really cares about this. My mom is. If I was the one calling the shots, I'd just leave the dent there and leave the whole issue of my own car alone. Why I can't just let this sit is because the other party involved is trying to get me to pay for their damage...
I don't get it. I was driving down the road, she was waiting to pull out. The damage to my car was on the back passenger seat, the damage to her car was the front driver's side. How can this person claim I hit her? If I hit her, the front of my car would have been damaged, not the back. She claimed I was speeding too(going 40 in a 35 zone). She seemed so nice when I was talking to her. Why the hell did she flip out at my mom on the phone? I still say they're probably short on money. The woman also said something about being unable to open the hood...not my problem if you hit me.

Yeah, well, I hit a girl who ran a red light and her insurance company still decided I was at fault. They know they can't win the arbitration; they're just betting I'll give up and not bother to sue them when I win. What they don't know is that it's not my insurance, and the guy who insures the truck is a freakin' litigious bulldog. They're basically gonna get soaked.
What's cool is the only thing wrong with the truck is the bumper and a couple lights. But I fucked her up bad. Punched in her driver's door, broke the window, took out the back tire, spun her 270 degrees, and she wound up parked across the median. It ruled. But this was like four months ago, and there still ain't no money. I just hope they didn't pay her any money either. It's her fault because the police report says she ran the light, but she later told her insurance company she had a green light.
