Ohio woman calls 911 saying, 'I have a boa constrictor stuck to my face' An Ohio woman called 911 Thursday after a 5-foot-6-inch boa constrictor she had rescued wrapped itself around her face and began biting her nose. Unfortunately, rescue workers had to kill the snake to remove it. |

It's that time of year again to guess what "deep fried" food will be the big hit at the State Fair of Texas! What’s a Fat Smooth? Hint: It’s at the State Fair of Texas, and it’s fried Deep Fried Fruit Loops? Fried Texas Dirt? Fat Smooth? Must be time to think about the State Fair of Texas. EDIT -- for the inquisitive minds that want to know what "The Fat Smooth" is... “The Fat Smooth†name doesn’t quite capture the lip-licking lusciousness that’s fried into this concoction: three delicious Belgian mini cream puffs on a skewer, dipped in Cafe du Monde beignet batter, then fried and dusted in powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce. |

One way to get rural broadband I feel for Him, $44.99 for 100/10 internet is what I get from Charter Spectrum, a promo price, normally $64.99 a month, though the speed is usually at or near 118/12, and yes where I live is very rural, not to mention very hot too... His £35 is almost $46 a month really, but it could have been worse, He could've gotten internet through Virgin Mobile, very expensive, and dead slow at 1/1M. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Today after more than a year i have been informed that all the pictures my wife took during our coast to coast road trip last year are destroyed. I put the SD card in my cell phone last year to copy them but suddenly the card started smoking. So i tried a data recovery company and payed $750 to recover them. Sometimes Mike can be extremely stupid. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Sorry to hear that Mike. I lost a set from a trip once too. So I set up some automatic protections. When I plug my camera into my PC it automatically downloads to DropBox. When I get close to my macbook, it automatically uploads to my Apple cloud account. Those work regardless of any action I take. Manually, I download, sort, and store on my hard drive which is backed up daily. I am at about 125 GB of photos. |

Well this sucks, My car battery is DEAD, $114.99(500CCA) @ O'Reilly, @ Walmart $94.83(550CCA), all are before Sales tax, O'Reilly will deliver, but only for the Optima Red Top battery @ $218.99(720CCA), also before 8% sales tax, and the Red is out of My price range, I can't pay for that, not this month, at most I can raise $113.38 on the 1st, though it won't show up on a credit card for about 3-4 working days, lovely... So no shopping for food, not until I can get a New battery in the car on the 1st of August... Oh and nothing in the car works, I had to unlock the door with My key, no lights work. I better find that jump starter and plug it in, then I should be able to move once that is charged fully. There goes doing the Smog Test this month, My Car has to be Registered($98.00) on or before Sept 8th and this year requires the car to be smogged... For about $50.00... https://www.oreillyauto.com/shop/battery-accessories-16452/battery---automotive-16864/1999/ford/escort Everstart Plus 58-3 @ Walmart, 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 https://www.battfinder.com/?search_redirect=true For Walmart that's $102.43, I've got the Stanley emergency battery being charged up, that may take a while, as that battery never holds a charge for long...

The manual says 1-2 hours, since I did not know I had to keep this Stanley Jump-Start System plugged in when not being used to jump start a car, It may take longer to charge, if the battery within will do so at all, all I can do is wait and see. And yes I had read what little came with this after I'd brought this home from Walmart, years ago... As the battery within the Stanley is not charged yet. http://www.stanleytools.com/en-us/~/media/StanleyTools/Files/Product%20Manuals/Baccus%20Products/J309_ManualENFRSP_092414.pdf,J309 Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

So you think the Stanley's battery needs to be replaced too? Great, sigh... I don't know when I can do that... And the battery has been charging for 3 hours... Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Well when I get a new motorcycle battery in the Stanley, I have a place to plug the charger into, under the kitchen sink, 3 hours, I press Status, nothing, all 3 leds are dark, I will try overnight, just to be sure, but that means I will need to get a neighbor to jump start My car with His car, sigh. Troubles, troubles... Lots of bad timing too. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

I still need to do some shopping on the 1st, or I am going to have a problem in the bathroom. If I used My debit card I'd be short by $15.40 of buying the battery for the car, it would come from the $70 I set aside, well I'm busted, I can either buy food or a battery, My bill at Food4Less may be $141.65 total, Grace uses $26.55 of that for just Her food, I'm stuck...

My car battery is DEAD Possibly, the temp has been 108F for a while, now I'm not sure what to do, since I don't have enough income for both a new car battery and food... Food $141.65 Battery $102.43 Rent bill(estimated only) $451.89 I just don't get enough... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |
