What NON-POLITICAL, NON-RELIGIOUS Headlines Are You Following?

I had a friend who had a great chicken....they were not on a farm but had lots of property and cats and dogs...by far the chicken seemed the smartest... it would herd people away from the children....until it was told they were friends...if you came around it would come and greet you at the car and take you directly to the building or the door to whoever you were visiting....the chicken differentiated guests by who they regularly came to see....it was amazing..
 
I can remember watching a young hen in Fiji. Whenever she would lay an egg, rather than sit on it she'd roll it end over end towards where they disposed of the cooking fire ashes. That must have taken some thought. For one, how to roll an egg so it would go straight and not in circles and for another that the warmth from the ashes would incubate the egg.
 
Setting down my rose colored glasses I see..... White male kills people with a gun that doesn't kill people... We are averaging one school shooting a week this year.... just making America Great!

I feel sorry for the woman who's burying her great niece as well as the other survivors (the assistant coach leaves behind his wife and his daughter, a father is setting up a music scholarship in his son's name, and a student recalls that the last thing the geometry teacher did was getting more students into his classroom before blocking the door with himself.)

I wish that the local animal shelter would bring :kitty:s to work alongside the therapy dogs...

Passenger Flatulence Forces Flight to Make Emergency Landing​

A pilot made an emergency landing after a fight broke out over a passenger who allegedly refused to stop passing gas. Two Dutchmen sitting next to the flatulent passenger reportedly asked the man to stop, but he refused and continued to break wind aboard the Transavia Airlines flight from Dubai to Amsterdam Schiphol. The budget airline crew allegedly did not help the passengers after their complaints, Metro reports, leading to a fight between the men. Despite a warning from the pilot, the altercation continued and forced the airplane to be diverted to Vienna Airport, where it made an emergency landing. Police boarded the plane once it landed and removed two women and two men that the pilot reported ...

if one has that kind of problem...Idk how they stop farting... I think I would have asked someone for a diaper and a pile of baby powder and had them sit on that to filter the smell and sound... me personally, I would have spent sometime...maybe lots of time in the bathroom...as I may be able to sustain a fart or two...but not a plethora....plus...I am over 50....never trust a fart.

Not surprising really and not the first time Gibson has been on the brink. Gibson branded instruments command top dollar in the market place. Not that they're that much better or cost that much more to produce, It's just long been part of Gibson's marketing strategy to price on the high end of the scale, thus creating perceived value. That's actually been the key to their success. Interesting read on Reddit.com

That's all well and good, but nowadays, the market is flooded with some really great quality look-a-likes. Last year I bought a Les Paul Style Gold Arch Top Oscar Schmidt for around $200. Compare that to a Gibson Les Paul at $1,500 to $2,000. The quality is right up there with Gibson and even uses some of the very same hardware. So, why pay 10 times more for nearly the same thing? To add insult to injury, Gibson introduced it's own line of low cost instruments produced overseas, Epiphone, which further cuts into the profits of their bread-n-butter operation.

Here's what CNBC had to say on Gibson's latest financial woes...

A Passenger Sued Southwest Airlines for Exactly $74,999.99 and It's Totally Brilliant
Bill Murphy Jr. Executive editor of operations, Some Spider, and founder, ProGhostwriter​

You may have heard: A Southwest Airlines passenger is suing Southwest for landing at the wrong airport.

It's the kind of case we talked about back in law school, and I was intrigued enough to dig up the court complaint down in Missouri.

I think the most important line in the entire filing is one most people have missed:

"Plaintiff is requesting damages in the amount of $74,999.99 and nothing more."

-Turns out, cases involving less than $75K can't be moved to Federal Court. Read the rest here: Inc.com

Reminds me of my retail days. Whenever a shoplifting case came before this one Judge he always sentence them to 89 days plus one hour. Years later I learned he did that because, sentences of less than 90 days were not eligible for parole and he wanted to make sure they served the maximum and even tacked on an extra hour to punctuate the point!

This is why I leave my furred managers at home if I travel. Service animals, therapy animals and military animals are supposed to have "four on the floor" at all times (and both service dogs and military dogs are usually too big to stuff into the overhead, anyway.)

I apologize but pets stay home or everyone goes by auto imo. If the family was moving overseas, there are other ways to ship pets that don't involve planes. Oh, and French bulldogs are not anatomically suited for air travel anyway.
