TAN 113 TANtamount to Anarchy (Page 56)

OK...it's one thing to argue that helmets aren't necessary for some riders (which i don't agree with but you can have your silly arguments)...but that the helmet causes more damage?  that's just redonkulous.

What?  Are you kidding me?  Why do governments, governing bodies, etc. spend millions of dollars to test, develop, engineer and build helmets, and in many places require them to be worn?  What are they saying to say that they may cause more damage??? 

Yep.  Check out this crazy website: http://cyclehelmets.org/index.html

That's beyond silly that's stupid.  I've seen the results of not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle and it's not pretty.  Slamming your head against concrete or pavement your head will loose, either on a motorcycle or on a bike.

No idea.  It's completely ridiculous.  There's some study that shows that kids who wear helmets are 4 times more likely to get facial injuries or something.

Gotta go. MWAH

That was my point!  I don't know if they don't bike quickly enough or what, but it's just not a chance I would ever take.

I'd much prefer that to BRAIN DAMAGE.

No kidding!!!

I think you bring up a good point, Meh.  We may all be talking about different things here.  Do helmets make you less likely to get injured while biking?  I will concede that, maybe they don't.  A helmet won't stop, for example, Crowny's wife from breaking her wrist.  It won't stop a kid's face from getting scraped on the ground.  It will, however, prevent MAJOR, LIFE ALTERING injuries, like brain damage.  This is the ONLY logical argument that I can fathom. 

Drive by TAN..............hope all are well!!

I was going to order one of the new Kindles and they are already sold out.  I can order now and won't get it until September.  Not so bad.  Guess I shouldn't have waited so long.

Wow, that was fast!  Is this the cheaper, WiFi only version?  I'm considering it when it comes to Canada.  I just don't know how much I would use it.  I'm not much of a reader, but I could see myself doing it more if I had one.  I just don't know!!! 

Both versions.  I'm looking at ordering the WiFi only version.  My husband has a first gen Kindle with the 3g.  We've never used it!

Also discovered I can get a $75 giftcard for Amazon using credit card rewards points.  That will make it much cheaper!!

why not just use the Kindle you have?

That version doesn't have PDF support (the new one does) and I want to be able to carry my 20 science papers on a Kindle rather than on paper.  I'm killing way too many trees.  Plus, my husband goes up to DC a few days each week for work and takes his, so it would be nice to have my own.

How much are they selling for in the US? 

$139 for the wifi only and $189 for the wifi + 3g

hello TAN.  drive by.

I realized least night that my inspection sticker has been expired since june.

how is that for being aware of my surroundings, I didnt even realize it until I was talking to a state trooper who was leaning on my truck. our boys are on the same football team, and we were just b.s.ing...then I looked at my windshield and wondered why my registration and inspection had different numbers on them.

nice.

Why does everyone insist on working today??  I need something to do. 

Search the internet for things to add to your list. 

Trust me, it's NOT by choice...
