ParticipantOnce someone on this blog said that having some amount of mortgage gave you home an extra layer of protection against lawsuits. I guess the idea is that the bank has a stake too. Maybe has something to do with some laws . Not sure really if it makes any sense at all.
I had a total fire loss on a primary property with no mortgage and plenty of coverage. I wonder sometimes if the low ball offer the insurance company gave, and the tremendous fight I had to put up to get what was due , had something to do with not having a mortgage. If I had had a big mortgage the insurance company might have made me (the bank)whole right away.
ParticipantI wouldn’t want my kids to hang out as an equal with kids who think that is a fine way to talk. Clearly it’s the “logic” of his peers that it’s cool. Your son is probably trying to measure up to this little cliques lousy idea of etiquette.
I tell my kids that they can be around anyone in the right measure, but don’t take on their ways. Like a track team it’s inevitable that some of your team members are going to act like jerks often, so you aren’t necessarily going to isolate , but you don’t have to jump into the stupidity with both feet either. Stand your ground.
Sounds like your son is experimenting, so he is kind in one set of circumstances, good, and rude or extremely rude in another, tell him to be better than that.
ParticipantAlso don’t buy them and don’t dress the kids up either. Probably should just tell them to skip it. We have so far only bought the yearbooks when the kid’s leave a school, for example ,going from 5th to a middle school in another district. So far none of our kids have left a school other than for that reason.
ParticipantI still have to watch money to be sure not to go broke, I don’t mean super stingy or anything like that but modesty is a requirement. Sometimes I feel like that is a very healthy place to be. I am kind of anti-comfort anyway. My son and I joke that I want to be a homeless guy- he is my homeless advisor. We are having a lot of fun with that. “Should I live under this bridge or that overpass, son? Maybe I’d rather cut a tunnel in that brush and live in there. I’d have to have my Y membership though. I don’t mind getting dirty, but I don’t like staying that way, I think I could thrive homeless into my 80″s or longer. It seems healthy in a lot of ways. The murder rate for transients is just too high and cops like to push them around. That side of it is really discouraging.
ParticipantOk drop box actually appears to have worked fine.
It wouldn’t upload to youtube without corrupting .The side of AWS (amazon) that I was on, opened a free account, is not for my skill level. Brian must have been referring to some amazon cloud-lite version.
This is where I went and registered at Amazon
https://aws.amazon.com/what-is-cloud-computing/Thanks again.
ParticipantThanks, I thought about Youtube, don’t have a channel and it’s a bit sensitive.
I’ll try the dropbox.ParticipantLooks like that as of a month or less back she is still a judge.
http://www.courts.ca.gov/2948.htmRan unopposed incumbent in 2012 and evidently survived this bizarre act through any ethics reviews. or whatever could be thrown at her if anything .
What does that say to you about the quality of our justice system?
Participant[quote=paramount][quote=Blogstar]
The woman was pulled over for a seatbelt violation, was it her belt or the kids? Was it her kid’s and she told the cop to mind his own business? Did she just get hysterical and refuse to take a ticket? Did she “go off ” for some other reason. I am pretty sure she “went off”. But I don’t know.[/quote]
It’s pure speculation – she may have went off because she wasn’t doing anything wrong – following a verbal assualt by cops.
The seatbelt violation was trumped up and phony, it was a fraudulent excuse to retaliate (most likely).[/quote]
Of course it’s speculation ,but by way of asking questions. Not pretending I know the whole story based on a very loose media reports , like a few of you are doing. Give it time for more to come out before you pretend to know everything.
Also, I don’t expect to be able to go off even if I have not done anything wrong. If you do you were raised wrong. I fear cops as much or more as I respect them, but common sense says acting like and ass or being hysterical isn’t going to work.
It’s not like the police in Carlsbad are disappearing people like this woman.
ParticipantI don’t actually agree with you CA renter. The second cop is a criminal. I don’t know what happened to get the likely resisting arrest and initial struggle with the first cop started , so it’s not a closed case on the earlier events. That’s where we agree.

ParticipantDA dropped the charges to balance the cop kicking her in the head and try to do damage control on that.
Lots of people get arrested and charges get dropped. Doesn’t mean they can fight the cops in the interim. I don’t know the story, just want a little more than apparently this and apparently that.
Participant[quote=spdrun]
All parties can be guilty of something , but the cop is still guilty of excess force AKA brutality.
Being a rude asshat is covered by the 1st Amendment last I checked. The Constitution isn’t dead. She might not be a nice person, but that doesn’t excuse official violence against her.[/quote]
I condemned the violence. That seems obvious. I said at least some of it was criminal. You are basing your whole point of view on things we haven’t seen yet and don’t know the truth about. The first cop wanted to arrest her , right or wrong, I am not sure. I am pretty sure she resisted or the two of them would not have ended up on the ground. Do we have a different story based on facts? How can we know something criminal on the part of the first cop had happened up to that point? I think we can’t unless you take sides on hearsay.
Participant[quote=PCinSD]Her attorneys were the ones who released that video. But they declined to release the video Hahn took, that started the encounter. I’m guessing that video does not show her in a sympathetic light.[/quote]
Was she drunk? I can imagine she was disorderly or something like that , act like a real witch , maybe resisting arrest. At the minimum on the police side of fault, the punch and the knee to the head are wrong, unless it’s cage fighting practice. All parties can be guilty of something , but the cop is still guilty of excess force AKA brutality.
ParticipantI bought one of those complicated power flush and I think It was a Toto. When I got it home and opened it , it just looked like there was way to much to go wrong. The BMW of toilets?
I took it back and judging by the candy wrapper in the box I wasn’t the first one.
Dixieline gave me a $40 credit because it had been restocked!I went with 3 of the 1.6 gallon totos but they weren’t $350 models. Can’t remember how much but $150-$160 sounds about right $200 tops. I have had to adjust one of the flappers and a handle squeaks , but that’s it in 8 years. They work fine and still look like new. Get the tall ones. 17″ I think.
ParticipantI am remembering when that cop or ex-cop decided he was going to fight back so the cops went out and shot two mexican ladies. I think he got in trouble initially because one of his partners roughed up a disabled homeless man because he was hanging out too close to a Marriott or some other higher end hotel. He wanted that cops behavior scrutinized. His eval’s went down and he got marginalized. I mean that was one way to put the story together from what I saw. In some ways he was a fighter for the kind of justice some here would like to see. And we know how that went.
