GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

So random question here. Wife just called and said she got in an accident (everyone is fine) and from what she says it doesn't sound like it's her fault. She had 1.5 glasses of wine 2.5 hours ago. If the cop asks her to take a breathalizer, does she take it?
ETA: the other car called the cops (so it's likely going to be a he said/she said thing)

The refusal will usually result in loss of her license.
If her consumption was really that low, go ahead and take it.
just texted her: "Homer from the internet said you're good. It's ok, he's a bartender"

there should be no reason for the cop to administer a breathalizer unless she's acting drunk. it's a small accident, correct?
so everything is fine...she just got home. from the outside, just looks like cosmetic damage. But this struck me as weird:
The other driver told the cop that she had a red light and made the right turn on red and didn't see my wife coming....clearly, it was her fault...but the cop didn't write her a ticket (or my wife). She said that the cop gave each of them a piece of paper with the other's insurance information on it. On the piece of paper, it says that police reports may be obtained in person, etc etc.
So I assume that each insurance company will take it upon themselves to obtain the police report...and I've got to hope that the cop wrote it up somewhere in the report...otherwise, the two insurance companies will try to figure it out?
I've never been in an accident before where there wasn't a ticket involved and I'm fearing the worst here. Any insight? Shuke, did you get a ticket when you tried to mow down that school bus?

Document now. Write down everything, including witness names and the cop's name. Contact the cop or at least someone at the precinct tomorrow or the next day and ask "I know the report's not ready, I just know the woman admitted she was making a right on red, and I need her ticket number for my insurance company if you have it.". Make this a big enough deal that he remembers independently of whether he wrote it down. Get a sworn affidavit from a witness who heard her say that.take pictures.
Thx. she's home now, and i did get my wife to write it all down, and i'll be calling first thing in the morning. I'm pissed that she didn't call me before it was over so I could make sure she talked to the cop to include that in the report. I really just don't understand why the cop didn't give her a ticket if the cop himself said that the person at fault admitted it.
Past the point of witnesses unfortunately.

It doesn't hurt if the nice, lovely woman calls the cop. Early, so she obviously didn't spend the night on a bender.

Oh, and when you talk to a police station, try to remember you're an idiot who doesn't know how to do anything, and they are all genius deities who you're lucky to be able to talk to. If you keep that attitude, you'll eventually at least get to talk to someone who will tell you to get bent, instead of just leaving messages.

I really just added the aviators for comedic effect; I don't find them as bad as cuff links. Cuff links would be a dealbreaker for us, though.I had my hair cut at a place like this once. Guy never even said a word. I sat down, he gave me the cut he wanted, and then he charged me $9. I looked like a banker.Abraham said:In college we used to get out hair cut at a place called the City Barber. Three old vets who told bull#### stories non stop. Didn't matter what you asked for, you got the same haircut as everyone else. High and tight. $6. One time my buddy asked for something else and got pissed off when the barber was done. He called the next guy in to the chair and got started and said, "it's called high and tight. You complain now, but if it were one of them sorority girls you'd be hard as a plank"
High and tight.
Great game from our Hawks tonight.
I spent the day playing in an insurance agent golf tournament. Wore my Aviators (K4> :wave. Also gave a rousing 90 second speech during the dinner which consisted largely of "Let's thank the planning committee. We love the business you bring us. Please send more. Now, let's all hit the bar!"
Never blow.

I don't sleep. There is simply an appropriate time for things to happen, and inappropriate times at which they should not. College basketball at, what, 8 a.m. tomorrow? Ridiculous. There is no way I can station myself appropriately at a bar-restaurant for that. My tradition in human time zones (Eastern or Central) is to go to a place for lunch and the first games and then stay there all day and night. What do I do showing up at 7 in the morning? Toast is not an acceptable tourney food.Up much before noon, Burroughs?krista4 said:I forgot to mention my least favorite thing about Seattle, which is this #$(!#(( #&$&$^^^ *(#&$J #&&@*** time zone.

I can't imagine waiting until 1 pm for football. Awful.

Wtf. Seriously???Atmosphere is awesome, but no beer. 4 games in a day, with no beer, is a long day.Might be set to head down to memphis to take a client to the games next Thursday. Big Gators fan, cool dude, basically came out and said we needed to set a meeting that day in that city specifically for this purpose and planted the seed on me getting tickets. Never been to an NCAA tourney game, kind of stoked. Mostly stoked because The Terrorist can't ruin me for two whole nights.

My daughter has wanted to have boys over but I've avoided it so far. She is my daughter and certainly has a lot of my personality, so no way would that end well. She is in 2nd grade and thinks kissing boys is icky, but is still intrigued by it. Plus the memory of the time she came home from preschool one day lingers with me - she told me there was a boy that liked her and she knew he was supposed to out his penis in her ###### but she couldn't figure out how to do that on the playgroundSt. Louis Bob said:You and GM are married?Hawks64 said:I don't know, my two boys (3rd and 4th grade) and their friends don't even talk about kissing or doing anything with girls. They all have crushes but haven't heard anything remotely close to kissing.St. Louis Bob said:JFC, I hope not. I could certain see some possible kissing. Plus she's kind of worldly for the 4th grade.Hawks64 said:Personally I wouldn't have an issue with it. I doubt their thoughts are in the realm of hours of mind blowing sex, more like I like hanging out with this girl. Have her come over and see what happens, see how he acts what they do etc. He may realize a play date with a girl won't be a lot of fun at least at his age.....St. Louis Bob said:Hawks64 said:Good for him?St. Louis Bob said:Cal wants to have his GF over on Saturday for a "play date".

My understanding is that this will usually result in your license being suspended (which you can appeal), but if you're concerned you're over the limit you don't want to give them hard evidence by taking field sobriety tests.

For the first time in a week the baby didn't need a bottle in the middle of the night. She's made it a habit of waking up around 5 which is the worst possible time because by the time she is done and back asleep its 5:45 and I'm wide awake so there is no point in going back to bed. Today she didn't wake up until 7. I feel like a different person. And I need a ####### donut.

I never saw the police report, but the cop told me he was going to write me at fault. However, he did not give me a ticket/citation due to the road conditions.

She's doing okay, thank you for asking. Her office was closed for Spring Break last week so she got to spend the last two weeks or so with her mom, which really helped both of them. Mom is doing pretty well, too but she has her moments.Father-in-Law was a loud man. He was losing his hearing and wouldn't get a hearing aid, so the television was always blasting Eye-Talian political talk shows (even though they've lived here for nearly forty years, he still voted in local elections over thereHey, how's your family doing? Specifically, your wife.Screw you, pal.St. Louis Bob said:
) and he would shout on top of them. He was always talking. Even when he was sleeping his snoring would rattle the windows. Needless to say, the house is much quieter now, which I think is the hardest thing for her to deal with.

So you're up early, but you want to wait around for basketball to start? Makes sense.I don't sleep. There is simply an appropriate time for things to happen, and inappropriate times at which they should not. College basketball at, what, 8 a.m. tomorrow? Ridiculous.

Also pretty sure that most sports bars will be open at 9 AM and serving breakfast today. Our local is.

k4> you need to start learning which bars make good bloody marys or restaurants with bloody mary bars and TVs.
The breakfast drink is a staple of west coast sports viewing.
Once you've spent one NFL season in the right time zone, you'll understand how silly your time zone views have always been.

Seems like West Coast people who work in an office would miss a lot of Eastern games in NHL, NBA, MLB, NCAA BB on weekdays since I'm assuming they often start at 4pm Pacific time. People in the normal time zones don't miss the early games or the late games and get to sleep in on the weekends.

I know Cal has kissed a couple of girls and I heard Dylan did during his mock wedding last summer. No probing tongues or anything though....I don't think.
Personally I first "made out" when I was in the second grade. Hot broad, turned out to be a model. GB her having an older sister that taught her things. I didn't realize that this was indication of hillbillyism® though. It isn't like we're kissing our daddy's sister's kid or something.
