Well - the most important thing is that everyone got out safe and sound - especially if the car was totaled that is definitely a propitious thing - you guys certainly had an angel on your shoulder

I have been in two car accidents in my life, and in both my car was pretty banged up, but not totaled - in both of them I made it without a scratch and a the time I was not concerned about the car as much as I was getting out of it without a scratch - the pain and anger comes when the insurance company pays out what they think the car/damages are worth which is never enough - however, in this circumstance as the other party was clearly to blame hopefully they will pay up plenty of $$$$$$ to pay not only for the car but the emotional stress that the accident put everyone through.

I hear ya - even it is not your fault - the insurance company never misses a chance to find some reason to raise those rates

Wow...Bummer on the car but glad everyone is OK

Likewise glad no one was hurt sorry about your car though I know you put a lot of time and effort into it. And it is not like you can go to the local dealer and replace it in a few weeks!

Adding in my own thankfulness here that no one got hurt.

They also hate men, and for some stupid reason, just because I'm a male who has never had a wreck, doesn't smoke, and drives a junker, I am more likely to have a wreck than a woman who drives a corvette, smokes, and has had nine wrecks.

Danielle Election day is Tuesday November 4. One thing that always bothered me was that I was eligible for the miltary draft when I was 18 but I wasn't eligible to vote until I was 21. I guess Uncle Sam thought that at 18 I wasn't mature enough to decide who was going to send me off to war. I have voted in ever election since I was 21 and intend to vote in ever election until I'm dead and gone.

Election age is eighteen - I assume everywhere in the US, at any rate.

Prior to 1971 the federal voting age in the US was 21 although a few states had lower voting ages (19 and 20).

I turned 18 in 1971. I hadn't thought I would be able to vote until I was 21, but the law was changed and I got my chance...lol.

Does Bush continue if wins the elections after the clash between Obama and McCain?

Thanks WhyYou. I wasn't giving any real thought to the age of the person writing it - or, probably more accurately, I was subconciously assuming the writer had just recently turned 21.

You were 19 when I was born.
