Something I had not considered until they had it on a cop show. The cop did not have a warrant. So is she broke into the barn and searched it, anything she found would be fruit of the poison tree it would not be admissible. So her friend, not a cop, broke into the barn and searched it. Their plan was if he found anything he would tell her and now that a non police witness told her about it she should be able to get a search warrant. Or maybe even that would be probable cause. So your question about the DNA from the girlfriend is right along the same lines. Joe won't give me his DNA, and I can't go get Joe's DNA. But if Sally brings me Joe's DNA, can I use that. Of course there is always the problem of how to prove that that is actually Joe's DNA that Sally brought me.

As a general rule, hospitals won't tell you anything unless you are family. Unless you are related to the patient. I looked up next of kin one time. In order, it was spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, uncle/aunt. And I noticed that neither step parent nor fiance was on that list. In the online story I am reading, Bill had a heart attack. They take him to the hospital, and Donna is trying to find out how he is. But they won't tell her anything because she's not related. So she tells them that she is related - she is his fiancee. She lied, but that's irrelevant. Would they consider a fiancee a relative so they can give you information? The movie WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING. Basically the same thing. The guy got knocked off the subway platform and Sandra Bullock jumped down and pulled him out of the way so he didn't get run over by the train. But he's unconscious in the hospital, and they won't tell her anything. Until she tells them that he is her fiance. Then they tell her all kinds of stuff. That was a movie. This story I'm reading is a story. In real life, would they have told her anything?

I've never had this problem before. My new one - this will be my fifth one - has recently produced a nasty odor, that I smell when I take stuff out. Apparently it just lingers in there and then my moving the food out creates air flow which makes the smell come outside into my face. I have previously had microwaves smell of what I cooked, but that never lasted more than a day or two. I have not been able to find any spilled food or anything that would account for the odor. I filled a bowl with baking soda, and when I am not currently cooking something in the microwave, that bowl of baking soda is sitting in there. It's been about a week now and I notice no improvement. Maybe I'm expecting miracles. I remember when something would overflow the pan and drip on the burner so that the oven had a odor, Mama would sprinkle cinnamon in there. I don't know if that would work with a microwave. Anybody got a suggestion?

I meet Susie. Susie has a kid. Susie and I fall for each other and we get married. I am now the kid's stepfather. But what if we didn't get married? We are still in love with each other, but we are just living together in sin - without benefit of clergy. Am I still the kid's stepfather, or am I simply the kid's mother's boyfriend?

"Watch this young chimp on the left - it's hard to see. But she's actually dabbing plant material on a wound on her mother's body." Well maybe it wouldn't be so damn hard to see if that nice red banner that said BBC wasn't across the bottom of the film blocking it out. God forbid that they don't get their advertising, even if that means you can't see what they're showing in the video because the advertising is in the way. Okay. Now I got that out of my system.

Several years ago there were many stories online about how when the cop would stop you they would take your gun and they would "unload it for everyone safety". And then when they were through with whatever they stopped you for they would give you your gun back and your ammunition back. They would not give you your loaded gun back. One guy said that the cop had to ask him how to unload his gun. It was a Ruger 22 automatic and it had a heel clip that held the magazine. The cop had never seen anything like that. And I started thinking of the various types of stuff you needed to know about a gun to make it safe. You got your double action revolver. Smith, Taurus, and Rossi all push forward, while Colt pulls back. High Standard does not have a thumb latch - you grasp the front of the ejector rod and pull It forward. Dan Wesson has the thumb latch on the front side of the cylinder and you push it down. Ruger is in the correct place but you push it in. And then you have some of the cheaper guns where you unscrew the ejector rod to open the cylinder. That's six different ways, and that's only double action revolvers. You have the Colt type single action where you have to put it on half cock, and you have the Ruger type where are you do is open the loading gate. If you have a Smith & Wesson break top - whether single or double action - there are at least three different types of openings. Webley and Enfield have that lever on the left side of the gun that you have to push down. We are up to 12, and that's only revolvers. I have automatics where you have a push button at the bottom of the left side of the trigger guard. I have some with a push button at the top of the left side of the trigger guard. Some have a reversible button, so you can switch it over to the right side of the gun for left-handers. Some H&K have a paddle type relief were you push it down instead of in towards the gun. The old Savage 32 and the new Smith & Wesson 22 Auto have a magazine release that is in the front of the grip strap. Most European guns and many American guns have a heel clip, where you push the clip away from the gun. Then you have the HK PSP where you push the clip into the gun. Now you have removed the magazines from the gun. To really unload it you need to open the chamber. Smith & Wesson's you can just pull that slide back. Colt you have to take the safety off to pull that slide back. Want to talk rifles? Bolt action rifle. Does it have a detachable magazine, or will you have to work every round through the chamber? If it has a detachable magazine, where is the detachment button? How do you get the magazine out. Do you have to set the safety in the fire position to open the bolt? Pump gun. Do you know how to work the pump? I have a hammerless Remington where you have a switch you have to push to work the pump. I have a hammer gun where the hammer has to be down. So if you wish to unload the gun, with the hammer down you work the pump. That will throw out the round in the chamber and load another round. Now you have to lower the hammer before you can work the pump again to unload that round. Shotguns. Pump - where is that pesky switch to allow you to work the pump handle? Automatic - once you pull the handle back how do you get it to go forward again to get the next round up into and then out of the chamber? Single barrel - is it got a thing on the top that you push to the side to open it, or does it have a thing on the side you push down? Double barrel does it have that sliding thing on the top or does it maybe have a pivoting lever on the bottom? Safety's on rifles and shotguns. You have your time (dammit otto, I said TANG) safety on double guns and Mossberg pumps. There are crossbolt safeties both behind and in front of the trigger. Early M1 carbines had a push button safety while later ones had a turning lever safety. Mauser safeties turned 180°. I have guns with sliding safeties on the right side of the rear of the bolt. I have ones with sliding safeties on the left side of the rear of the bolt. And we cannot forget the M1 rifle with its finger operated safety in the front of the trigger guard. I want to see your average policeman today unload an M1 rifle. But the cop has to unload the gun for everyone's safety.

Thank y'all. I did a search on "carry-on to rackenroon". One of the hits was for a site called webtoons. On webtoons I could see it. Not today's, but Wednesday's was there. But hirez came up forbidden.

We didn't have guns. The summer my older brother was 14 my mother's father died. And somehow my older brother ended up with Grandpa's 410 Iver Johnson Champion. I am pretty sure that that gun helped to feed the family during the depression. I'm also pretty sure that they did not do things sportingly. Shoot the birds on the ground, not in the air. Shoot the birds out of season. Food on the table is more important than sportsmanship. Anyway. That summer he got that 410. For Christmas he got a double barrel 12 gauge. And that was the guns in our family. A school friend of mine - Junior Assistant Scoutmaster - bought a Mossberg 320B single shot 22 from Boy Scout camp. Sold it to my older brother. Now he had three. But he decided he did not like it, and sold it to my father who gave it to my younger brother for his 15th birthday. Finally - FINALLY - for my 18th birthday I was given a 22 rifle. My first gun. Still got it. The first of a few. But everything I know about guns I had to learn on my own.

This is a webcomic. Updates Monday Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday I got this notice that said 403 forbidden. Today I got the same notice - 403 forbidden. http://www.hirezfox.com/km/ So would someone click on that and see if the comic opens? That way I would know that it's me that can't get in. Or if you get the same 403 forbidden, then I would know that there's a problem with the website. Thank you anybody.

I see three pistols, a knife and a shotgun. "Stole the guns"? Or do you mean John Dwayne? This is the only picture I can find of him. Appears to be carrying guns.

My father had a plastic cup from a busted thermos bottle. He would put three or four ounces of gasoline in that cup, then go stand beneath that wasp nest up there under the eaves. Lower his arm and then jerk it up quickly. When he stopped the gasoline would continue up - cover the wasps - and they would all fall to the ground dead. Never failed. Of course, you are not supposed to do that these days. When we change the oil we would pour it in the fence row to kill the grass that was growing up in the fence. Not supposed to do that these days. Also poured used motor oil on fire ant mounds. Not supposed to do that these days.

The last ad. I believe that if I was the young man in the store, I would figure that as long as the kid was going to scream and cry - give him something to cry about.
