Wow what a crazy mess!
Is this the same fiasco that Nina (cruzanheart) was in the news story on TV? Seems like it is as they are from Murphy.

Dateline predators will NOT be prosecuted
by candidlynuts intexas da won't prosecute any pedophiles nabbed in nbc 'predator' showthursday, june 28, 2007. .
murphy, texas a sting in which police teamed up with "dateline nbc" to catch online pedophiles was supposed to send a flinty-eyed, texas-style warning about this dallas suburb: don't mess with murphy.. instead, it has turned into a fiasco.. one of the 25 men caught in the sting a prosecutor from a neighboring county committed suicide when police came to arrest him.
the murphy city manager who approved the operation lost his job in the ensuing furor.. and the district attorney is refusing to prosecute any of the men, saying many of the cases were tainted by the involvement of amateurs.. "certainly these people should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but the fact that this was all done for television cameras raises some questions," said mayor bret baldwin.. it is the first time in nine "dateline nbc: to catch a predator" stings across the country in the past year and a half that prosecutors did not pursue charges.. "dateline" has made prime-time entertainment out of contacting would-be child molesters over the internet, luring them to a meeting place, and videotaping their humiliating confrontations with reporter chris hansen.. (story continues below).

(((sweet pea)))
I know how crappy it feels and just today I came across a card I got years ago from my bestest JW girlfriend in the good times....or should I say when I was still a JW and I cried because all that is gone due to this damn cult!
Yes she too sent me an email telling me she could no longer associate with me in anyway (email, snail mail or telephone) because I am damaging her cherished relationship with Jehober. 30 plus years gone, sucks big time! I still miss her and many times get the urge to talk to her. I wonder if she even thinks of me........LOL knowing her she does and then she'll say something like, "oops must say 20 hail Mary's for my sin." We were a couple of fruitcakes and had a lot of fun making fun of the JW stuff, sigh.
I relish in the fact that I probably still put a smile on her face for some of the pranks and crazy stuff she and I did together. I hope someday you'll feel at least this, it's not much but the good memories are something to cherish for always, they can't take them away from you. Damn cult!

bikerchic:
hahahahahaha.....what nails???
Me? Nope, no nails. I mean, I have nails. Just not pretty ones.
Not anymore.
I gave up. Now, they're short and stubby. Ready for gardening stuff and lawn mowing....although, my husband would prefer that I do not.
BSoM LOL nah I gave up my manicured nails for changing bicycle tires and never went back. Right now my simi polished nails (I can't believe I actually polished them a couple of weeks ago) have paint spots on them from painting our house and dirt under them from gardening. I'm really not a sissy....really I'm not!

Are you trying to start it on the lawn or on concrete. You should never start a lawn mower on the lawn.
) key in start position (if there is a key)
2) fuel selector not in bypass setting (if there is a selector)
3) safety handle properly depressed (if required)
4) primer bulb fully depressed specified # of times (if appropriate)
5) firm, quick, full pulls of starter cord
If it won't start after about 3 proper pulls, then it's time to get creative because it isn't you it's the mower.
Things to do at that point:
1) Is the fuel old? dump it start with fresh
2) Oil at proper level. Some mowers have a sensor that can tell the level.
3) As mentioned, did you flood it?
4) is the plug OK?
5) Check air filter. If suspect, attempt to start (But for God's sake don't mow with it!) with the air filter removed exposing the carb. Again, this is for test purposes only.
6) With air filter removed, apply a small amount of starter fluid. Just a spritz, yer not trying to spray paint with the stuff cause you'll ruin your engine with too much of it.
7) Remove bowel from carb. Check for debris and clean as needed.
OMG! TMI! <runs from the room singing......I'm glad being a girl.....lalalalalalalalalalalaaaaaa

mysterious is right.
Pull hard and fast. Seriously. It took me several tries before I finally got the knack of it.
It's a matter of speed. Get tough with it.
BSoM couldn't you like um break a nail doing that?

LOL I'm so glad my hubby insists I never and I mean NEVER learn how to start the lawn mower. He absolutely will not let me even think about mowing the lawn. On the rare occasion (usually he's been sick or too busy with work) I ask him if he thinks $40 is too much for me to pay Jose tomorrow to mow the lawn, lol works every time!
