Illinois State Senator Donne Trotter is charged with felony after allegedly trying to bring a handgun and bullets through security at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Cook County State's Attorney officials say Trotter is charged with attempt to board an aircraft with a weapon. Officials say a TSA agent discovered an unloaded .25 caliber pistol and clip with live rounds inside Trotter's garment bag around 8 a.m. on Wednesday. Trotter allegedly told security agents he worked the late shift at his security job and didn't realize the weapon and bullets were still in the bag. He was on his way to catch a flight to Washington, D.C. He remains in police custody and will a…

So I was tabbing through the news articles on yahoo's front page because, well ill be honest, I like to find the ones with pictures and see cool stuff or occasionally come across something that is just bizarre or different. anyway, i clicked on one about 11 ridiculous petitions that people have started, now there is one to build the death star for real a long with a handful of others that made me chuckle. But holy crap there is an actual petition to get a statue of Master Chief made and placed on the White House lawn. It has less than 2 weeks to go, and needs way to man signatures for it to pass but damn. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/build-statue-master-chie…

It's not just children who like to build towers with Lego - the internet is alive with discussion on how many Lego bricks, stacked one on top of the other, it would take to destroy the bottom brick. So what's the answer? There has been a burning debateon the social news website Reddit. It's a trivial question you might think, but one the Open University's engineering department has - at the request of the BBC's More or Less programme - fired up its labs to try to answer. "It's an exciting thing to do because it's an entirely new question and new questions are always interesting," says Dr Ian Johnston, an applied mathematician and lecturer in engineering. Looking on the in…

Well, I'm half as much of a bum. I'm still living at my parent's for now after the divorce but getting a car finally is a big step. Picked up a 2001 Toyota Celica GT-S with low miles. Had to drive down to Scranton, PA (a bit over an hour) to get it but I'm definitely stoked. It's in great condition. *dances* Of course, I'm sure it's going to handle like shit in the snow up here, but I'll just throw some snow tires on it and not drive like a maniac.

This guy went to a bar...long story short, he met this broad and they went back to his place. Before they got undressed to do the horizontal mambo, he said, "Listen, I'm sorry but I don't think we should have sex right away". "Why's that?" she said. "Well you see, I'm hung like a baby, and I wouldn't want you to laugh and decide you didn't want to have sex with me. Why don't we get to know each other first, and then when we feel we're ready, we'll do it." So the girl agreed, but only because he was a good-looking dude and pretty nice. Several dates later, they make it back to his place again, and after some conversation, they decide it's time. She undresses and slides int…

So, I want to get my boys family some gifts for xmas. I know little to nothing about his two siblings. I do know his sister is a new nurse! (Hooray?) Would you consider this a lame xmas gift? Maybe I should pair it up with something else...

I've been following it, have you? It's quiet around these parts. Is it old west, shit about to go down quiet? Or is it suburbia, shit never happens quiet?

What is your weapon? I know we kind of did this already, but when I saw this and I saw a damn space heater to my right ... I had to know what everyone else had.

We should totally do a xmas ornament exchange.

It's the zombie apocalypse and the last person you texted is your ally. How screwed are you?

A little late in posting this, but each day post what you are thankful for. For the first post, you'll have to post for 15 days! I am thankful for........ 1. The paths that I have chosen to get to where I am today, because without that I would not have met.... 2. Jason. We had our major shares of ups and downs, however without him I would not be. 3. My boys; Granite and Logan. They make me want to be a better person. 4. Having a roof over my head especially after recent weather events. 5. Having a job. I might complain about it, but at least I have one. 6. My Gamercide family. You have all listened to me rant and cry more times than I can count. 7. My Nan. Sh…

I am drunk.

September was childhood cancer awareness month, but Granite's school is showing support tomorrow by having all of the kids and staff wear yellow shirts. This is especially important because yesterday we found out that a family that goes to the same church where Granite has Sunday School....their little 2 year old boy was diagnosed with Leukemia after they took him to the emergency room for what they though were belly issues. The boy was immediately flown to the Hershey Medical Center which in this area is the best place to receive care. So far he has had five blood transfusions, 1 platelet transfusion, and will be receiving a pic line in his spine for chemo and also a …

we petition the obama administration to: Remove marijuana from the federal Controlled Substance Act and allow the states to decide how they want to regulate it. Some states have clearly indicated that they wish determine how to regulate marijuana at the state level through medical marijuana programs or by legalizing personal use. Please remove federal implications by removing marijuana from the Controlled Substance Act. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/remove-marijuana-federal-controlled-substance-act-and-allow-states-decide-how-they-want-regulate-it/lzSd9fcG

..... my mother asked me if I wouldn't mind tidying up the house since my grandparents are coming over for dinner. I can't really say no, I've been living here rent free, aaaaaand I love my ma. Anyways, I raided the cleaning supplies and grabbed the Soft Scrub and a good scrubbing sponge. *puts Soft Scrub on the range top* ... *begins scrubbing range top in a circular motion* ... *stops for a moment and notices some cool looking waves* ... *puts down sponge and begins finger painting* Ladies and gentlemen, I may or may not have been smoking previously to this bout of kitchen cleaning I was embarking on, but I could not help but finger paint for a couple minutes. It j…
