Law - Open Containers Banned - Oct. 1

Oct. 1:" Owner of the Acton Bar Cow Camp and Steakhouse north of Billings, is blunt in his criticism of Montana's historic open container law."I don't care if you drink and drive," he said. The law, which prohibits open containers of alcohol in the passenger compartment of most vehicles, won't make people who are hell-bent on driving drunk any safer, he said, "but it'll make them sneakier." The Acton Bar, located on a straight, desolate stretch of Highway 3, sells alcoholic beverages to go and Cowzin said he intends to keep doing it, at least until the "beer cops" tell him to stop. The state did ban drinking and driving, as the federal government required, but the resulting violation is not considered a criminal offense. Violations will not count as points against one's driver's license or be reported to one's auto insurance company, which would likely use that information to raise insurance rates: The new law bans all open containers of alcohol except: In a locked glove compartment, truck bed or cargo compartment. Behind the last upright seat in a station wagon or SUV that does not have a trunk. In buses, taxis, limousines or any other vehicle in which the driver is paid. In the living quarters of a motor home or travel trailer. Violators can be fined up to $100. But they can repeatedly pay the maximum $100 fine without it going higher or going on their record. Now don't this just beat all!! Its against the law to drink and drive but it don't go on your record? Now what good does it to change the law if it don't change the effect, if all you have to do is pay a few -$$- to the courts? Seems to me the courts, are trying to make a few bucks on the side and not change a problem at all. Leave a comment and tell me if I'm wrong okay!!"

Warning - to ADHD Drug Strattera

Drug Strattera:" The FDA has issued a public health advisory reports of suicidal thinking in children and adolescents - Strattera, a drug to treat (ADHD) in adults and children.The FDA has ordered Strattera's maker, Eli Lilly and Co., to revise this product to include a "black box" warning on Strattera's product label and additional warning statements that alert health care providers of the increased risk of suicidal thinking. A black box warning is the strongest type of warning that the FDA can require for a drug. It is generally reserved for warning prescription drug users about adverse drug reactions that can cause serious injury or death. Strattera is the first FDA-approved nonstimulant to treat ADHD. Strattera has been on the market since 2002 and has been used by more than 2 million patients, according to the FDA. Strattera should be stopped in patients with signs of jaundice yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes. Jaundice is a sign of liver damage. If blood tests show evidence of liver damage, the drug should also be stopped. In addition to yellowing of the whites of the eyes or the skin, there are other signs of liver damage. If you also notice any of these while taking Strattera, let your doctor know immediately.

Difference Between- Men & Women

" "There's very little advice in men's magazines, because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, "I know what I'm doing, just show me somebody naked." --Was said : Jerry Seinfeld "

Senior Citizen Did Steal Money

news:"Sacramento, California - An elderly gentleman walked into a police station and reported that he thought he had robbed a Wells Fargo Bank a few days earlier. The police officers didn't take his confession too seriously because he was very old, suffered from obvious physical ailments, carried a white hospital bag, and admitted that he wanted to go back into Kaiser Hospital's psychiatric ward. He also couldn't remember the exact day, time, location of the bank, or the nearest cross street. However, after an intensive interrogation, FBI agents found out that the senior citizen had indeed robbed the bank and was responsible for three other bank robberies. Now this is a first, a robber who feels guilty."

Psychiatrist Turns Geeks Into Studs

" SEXPOT psychiatrist Dr. Cynthia Mesner turns timid and tittering geeks into swaggering studs with an exciting new psychiatric technique that relies on the Freud-like power of her 38-DD breasts! Deep-trance modification therapy with mammary adjunct" or "nip-notism," as the unorthodox doctor herself prefers to call the technique "is useful" in lulling nerds, Weird Harolds and other girl-shy guys into an altered state. As they continue to stare helplessly at her fully-exposed fun bags that's right, she works topless -- Mesner breathlessly whispers a series of "post nip-notic" suggestions that her patients will obey long after she's snapped them out of their trance. "I tell them they're 'hunky' and 'stud muffins' and say that everywhere they go, they'll drive women wild with desire," "The technique is far more effective than conventional hypnotherapy. Just getting these young men to look at my chest after I pop the buttons on my blouse is a major accomplishment. "But it sets the stage for them to grapple with and then conquer their fear of the opposite sex. "With hypnosis alone, we expect every patient to need additional treatment, and only three of 10 will ever learn to be comfortable around females. "With nip-notism, nine of 10 will go on to lead exciting and meaningful new lives as studs." The curvy 32-year-old doctor and former Watermelon Queen says she developed nip-nosis after noticing that men who asked for help with women often couldn't bring themselves to make eye contact with her. "One morning I was counseling a young man who wouldn't stop staring at the floor so I walked around my desk and lifted his head up with my right hand and forced him look at me," she recalls. "He was fighting to turn away, so I ripped off my blouse and bra with my left hand and screamed at him, 'Look! Look! They're shirt puppies, yes but they won't bite you!' "He calmed down instantly and, believe it or not, his voice dropped two octaves, from a tittering falsetto to a rich baritone. "I knew then and there I was on to something. "So I went to work to develop the full nip-notic technique that I'm using today, which is a marriage of otherwise conventional hypnotherapy, psychoanalysis and 'tough love' techniques." The sizzling psychiatrist charges $250 an hour for her services and there's a wait of up to six months for an appointment. She accepts insurance and, amazingly, most companies pay for nip-notic sessions. "Dr. Cynthia took me from dud to stud in just one session," testifies one ex-nerd. "At the age of 24, I was a virgin who'd never even been out on a date. And now, just six weeks after she nip-notised me, I've got 18 'babe notches' in the headboard over my bed."

Busted! Labrador retrieves owner's pot to cops

MSNBC:"Grapevine, Tex. - J.D. the Labrador retriever meant well, but he has landed his owner in a mess of trouble. Police say his owner was playing Frisbee golf with two friends at a suburban Dallas-Fort Worth course when a police officer arrived.The officer thought he smelled burning marijuana, so he asked the men for identification and began checking for outstanding warrants. J.D (the-dog) apparently sensing the party was over, waded into nearby Bear Creek, retrieved a plastic bag containing pot and brought it to the officer. The black Lab’s 25-year-old owner was charged with possessing drug paraphernalia. One of his companions was charged with marijuana possession. The third member of the party wasn’t charged. J.D. was turned over to him. Now tell me, this dog-J.D. wasn't mad at his owner for NOT.. throwing him the frisbee to play with them..LOL"

New Medical Study

Jay Leno:"According to a new medical study, it's healthy for a wife to get angry at her husband than to keep it all inside which can lead to disease. So guys when the wife runs you over with the SUV, she's just trying to live a healthier lifestyle." Saw this and laughed, had to share it with you. I like this guy-Leno, he comes up with the strangest stuff, and pulls it off!

Angel Wings

Record News:"Man gives lift to those who need free ride for non-emergency health care Richard Sutton is an angel to many. An Angel Flight America volunteer, the Wichita Falls man is one of 850 pilots who help provide free, non-emergency transportation for people who have medical conditions that require travel. Angel Flight South Central - located in Addison, Texas - is one of the six groups that are a part of Angel Flight America. From Addison, volunteers oversee missions in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and parts of New Mexico, Mississippi and Tennessee. Sutton also happens to be a retired physician. "(Angel Flight) gives me an opportunity to stay involved in medicine and provide a necessary service," he said. Sutton prefers to take on flights that originate in the Wichita Falls area because he can meet the needs of local residents and be home in time to take care of his own responsibilities. Angel Flight pilots pay for each flight out of their own pockets. With aviation fuel currently more than $3 per gallon, a round-trip flight to Houston from Wichita Falls costs no less than $400. Most flights for Sutton have been to Houston where he has carried patients for treatments or consultations at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. More than 70 percent of the patients transported by Angel Flight South Central are cancer patients, including many children. The only requirements for using Angel Flight is that the patient be ambulatory, capable of being in an unpressurized aircraft and able to sit upright for the flight. Many use Angel Flight services because they don't have money to travel, but others may simply be too sick to drive or to fly on a commercial flight. Sutton believes the best part of being an Angel Flight volunteer pilot is contributing to the patients' care. He may have traded in his stethoscope for a pair of wings, but he continues to provide hope and healing for those in need.
To volunteer :
Pilots should have a minimum of 200 hours of flight time and access to at least a 4-seat aircraft To donate or for more information: www.angelflightsc.org"

Cats and dogs OK'd to cohabitate in Utah town

MSNBC:" Residents in Provo, Utah, can now officially own both cats and dogs. City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday to replace the word “or” with the word “and” in existing city code, which means residents can now own up to two cats and, two dogs at the same time. The problem was discovered when Susan Sewell and her family went to the Utah County Animal Shelter in Spanish Fork to adopt a kitten. The family already has a cat and a dog. They chose a kitten and began filling out the adoption paperwork. But when shelter staff learned of their existing pets, the family was told they couldn’t have the new animal because Provo only allowed residents to have cats or dogs, not cats and dogs. “I don’t think people will abuse the law just because it gets changed,” Sewell told the council. She said the family will be returning to the shelter to try again to adopt a kitten. “The kids will be begging us tonight, I’m sure,” she said after the council meeting." Excuse me?? I live in Idaho and I have been to Utah, and never did I hear this one before...I know in the town I live you can't have more then 2- dogs, unless you get a permit signed my the people who live around you, saying they don't mind...But A city ruling saying you can't have a dog & cat in the same house? Now I would be in real trouble at my house, because we have 2-cat's & 1-dog-(daughter's) 1-dog & 1-rat-(son's) and last but least, me. 11-goldfish (mine) What you got?

Love A Look into a Deeper Order

guyfinley:"It isn't hard, at times, to love others for what they are. Such relationships are on easy terms, and we receive what we give in a fair measure. But to love another for what they may yet be -- to give them the patience and kindness that lets them flower, this is a different task altogether. For to love a person for what he or she may be, costs us; and to pay this coin we must, ourselves, run in debt to who it is that we hope to be, an act that requires our payment in every moment, and with all those we meet. This is something I need to learn and repeat to myself each and everyday in my life, & to remind myself. I can only control what happens with-in my own feelings."

Gas prices helping.... WHO??

Gulfnews:"Other things gas prices are affecting are the bottom lines of OPEC and their brethen in the U.S.A. Where oh where has the money gone. While our government sits on its hands, oil companies are reaping criminal profits. Yes, we can point to the refineries as part of the problem, and indeed they are. However, all the money
is going to fuel. Our fuel prices have doubled, but our salaries stay the same. So what little discrecionary cash we did have is all but gone now. Hollywood is complaining about lower movie goer turnout. Hello! We won't talk about the outrageous cost for popcorn, that's another story all together. I think that is just the beginning. We are starting to see the rise in food costs and other materials will soon start. Inflation will start to take off, meantime our salaries stay the same. So first the movie theaters and other entertainment venues take the hit. Restaurants may see a tapering off also as people will not be able to afford to go out as much. Stores with paper thin margins all ready will start closing down. And where is all the money going, oh yeah, the oil companies. Hasn't it been noted in the papers the egregious profits they are getting? Oh and one last note, who in their right mind, would put almost all of our refineries located in the same area of the gulf coast? I understand the "not in my backyard" mentality, and believe me, I have been through Bay City, Tx and wouldn't want that smell in my backyard. However, these refineries should have been spread around more to minimize impact. We have a second major hurricane bearing down on TX. Could we lose the balance of the refineries?"
