That's what I paid last month at Walgreens for a kit with 2 tests.

I thought they were still free so it was quite the sticker shock. I went in for supplies thinking I could afford $40 this month and ended up spending $65.

If I didn't NEED the test for work I would have just not bothered at that price. When you live check-to-check stuff like this matters.

That's why they put child suffocation warnings on it

Stop buying their shit!

Same. 30 mins to everything.

Because it's 25 mins to get to town and 5 mins to get to the other side of town.

This is how it was done where I worked. If you asked for ashes, we just went and scooped out an appropriate amount of ash.

Sometimes the animal was still just sitting in the burn pile (we only burned on certain days). Also the 'cremation' furnace was just a modified 50gal drum. So you had to cut up any of the larger dogs. Small animals (kittens or anything smaller than a regular sized cat) we just threw in the dumpster.

As you can imagine, that job sucked.

Everybody talking about free vs paid but nobody linking to the good ones of either...

What flavor is it?

Penny Racers were the shit.

I still have the one I got in probably '82/83. Black semi tractor with a rotating spoiler instead of a trailer and that's where you could clip a penny to make it do tricks.That thing got a lifetime of use and abuse and it still works great.

How long does it take you to die?

I'd have some sympathy if it weren't for how far you need to go to get a license suspended in the first place.

All you have to do is talk back to a small town cop.

Once they decide to punish you, there's nothing to be done. They can sit a block from your house and pull you over every single day and write a bullshit speeding ticket. The same cop wrote me up at least a dozen times. Admittedly I was speeding the first time, and possibly some of the others, but I was always with the flow of traffic and close to the limit. He would just write up whatever he wanted.

The most annoying part was when my father borrowed my car one morning and got pulled over instead. He was mad at me for it, because me pissing off the cops got him pulled over even though he never goes above the limit.

And if you live in a small town, there is no public transportation, there is no taxi service. If you don't drive you have to walk or ride a bike. And all of the work available is many miles away, because everything is when you get rural.

Although I don't disagree with your comment about the number of bad drivers, I just think this article lacks enough details to come to your conclusion.
