Shopping mall sighting the other day..

I saw this beast in a shopping mall, in Milford,Ct. the other day. It was just parked there, and had not been there a few minutes earlier. Someone is actually driving this thing around like this. I guess if you don't have insurance, alternate transportation, or options, and the thing still runs and drives... There were two bumper stickers on the damage. One was in the middle of the " Ding " it said, "Drive carefully", the other was a Band aid, but in bumper sticker form. The "Ding" actually has rusty spots, on the bare metal areas, and It's obviously been driven around for a while like this. There was no sign of glass anywhere inside, and it was pretty clean, like it had been vacuumed out, and taken care of. Pretty funny. Do you guys think it's totaled?? Lol...

I did, from my cell phone in fact.

Yes , I emailed it to myself from my cell phone camera. That's the only way to put it into my computer from it. I've done that with a lot of my pics. You didn't know you can do that? How else can I get pics out of my cell phone, and into my computer. The part that sucks though, is that ever pic has to be done individually, and takes a few minutes to type it all into the phone. Same as text messaging, only you put in the email address, instead of a phone number, or contact name. I don't carry a digital camera with me everywhere, because I can do this with my Nextell.
Once it was in my inbox, all I did was copy and paste it into the thread.
That's also why the pics are so lousy, because the phone camera sucks.

It prompts for a AOL/AIM email address. I have a screen name but would rather not have to juggle 6 email accounts. Can you "Save As" the picture and upload it as an attachment?

Well, it works off of my current screen name. I can "Save As" and attach it, but it was just faster, and my time was limited when I posted it. So all I did was copy and paste from my own email from me, to me..,and to here. Only took a few seconds that way. I've only got one screen name, and it's all I use anywhere. No juggling. I use my same screen name for my other accounts, so I'm still repoman940, at aol, yahoo,and comcast, and a few others. No problem for me though, less stuff to remember, or mix up,and mistake.

They should work, if you click on them. They work for me every time I tested them. I don't see why it wouldn't. Is it not working for you at all?

Nope, I don't think it's working for anyone else either since the thread had no activity. 96+ reads with only me posting!

Try logging out of your AOL account, empty your cookies and then click on the link and you'll see what happens.

Nick, sorry it still doesn't work. It pops up to an "Aim Mail" to which I am not logged into.

Have you any stories from your recent trip to where was it, Switzerland and Yemen???!! That kind of travel can make you want to kiss the ground as you step off the plane onto US concrete. Great you are back home to USA safe. I bet that was a VERY interesting trip....

Have you seen this site?
http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/

It is pretty interesting.

Jim, I am glad it's not just me!

Wow where was that forum when Mountain Valley Express ripped off $14,000 from our company. Sure 1 box falls off the truck but 14!!? They reccomended AGAINST insurance of the shipment and then said you're SOL when most of the shipment is lost....isn't that grand!

Ok, I'll post these pics normally so you fellas can get a look. You have to see these pics, they riotous, and you'll do a double-take. Let me try the "Photobucket" thing. "Yemen" by the way, is the $hit hole of the universe. If any of you ever come out here, just dress so you are comfortable during an abduction, and beheading, or stoning...lol. You want to wear something you can look good in,and be comfortable in.
"It's 120 degrees in the shade..,only there is no shade...There's a woman behind every tree....only there are no trees".
Not my fav.place to visit, The Port of Adda, is a military mess, and there are rebels everywhere. Ridiculous,.these people are fearless, and shameless,and Godless. This coming from a true Atheist, such as myself, says a lot about them.

No they certainly do not work. Save them to Photobucket then post them on this site. I really need to see this car, I might know the owner.
