Try Kum and Go. They have some stores with shifts like that. Usually, the ones with a large fresh food business volume.

Other gas stations may have the same. Not sure as all the people I know that work at gas stations work for them.

Safe can have a lot of meanings in this context. Safe in your rights for example. Or safely along without disruption of your trip. Or maybe it is just a generic wish for a safe drive?

Know the script and your rights.

Some of us like not being stopped and searched without probable cause. We have better things to do in our life than have our rights trampled upon to make the police's life easier. Papers please check points are more authoritarian than I'd like.

They do them a few times a year. Usually not near where they should. And they do not catch many drunks. They mostly catch people for other things but use DUI as the excuse to make it legal. They then get to brag about it and puff themselves up as heroes.

Someone explain to me why there are no Jack in the Box's around here? One would think that Springfield would be a prime target area for them. And as they have lots of locations in KC and StL areas they have the infrastructure in place to support some down here. If Pannera can do it so can Jack in the Box.

Not my experience at all when using non-mil health systems in the EU (or Japan). Maybe they just like Navy guy's better?

All the extra middle men wanting their cut of the pie.

Rereading what I wrote and I'm not sure if you are fully understanding the question. There is a big difference between the many tests that can be done to blood. You would not want for example a place that only does drug tests to take your blood to screen for cancer. Blood sugar tests can be done with many home kits, but a screening for diabetes or vitamin deficiency should be done by a lab set up to do those. So to rephrase my question, what condition/requirement do you need to be tested for?

And what exactly are they to do with this blood? You know the Test/blood work part? If you just need it taken out because you subscribe to the old pseudo-science of bloodletting, I'm sure we can find a quack to do it for you. I'd look for the chiropractors that claim to treat diabetes and other such things.

I'm sad this is occurring at all. I wish we had a first world health system like the other industrialized nations. But sadly we do not.

Depends on what you need blood work for.

I was mostly referring to those who stink of tobacco so bad I can smell them from around the corner of the aisle in a store. I've never smelled anyone reeking of MJ that badly, but smell tobacco addicts all the time.

Our stupid as fuck city council seems to think that tobacco is ok for public consumption, but other odorous herbs are not. Because we are used to tobacco stench and not MJ's. And while we are at it all the assclowns littering their butts all over the place need to be cracked down on. Something I've not seen from MJ smokers. I'm tired of sweeping my parking lot in the morning and finding a ton of these. Nasty bastards leaving their trash all over.

And it occurred to me that MJ comes in none smoke varieties such as edibles and liquid forms that do not leave a stench. Are our numbskull city council banning those in public as well?

This being the United States, it is clearly his right to be a total jackass. Just as it is my right to not patronize such businesses. I have the right to not do business with places that allow employees to smoke and release their noxious fumes next to me as I dispense highly flammable substances. They have a right to slowly kill themselves as they cosplay as some kind of miltac operator to make up for their small dick size.

There is a time and place for nearly everything. At a gas pump serving the public was NOT a time to be smoking or openly displaying weaponry. There is a reason I do not open carry mine. And it is because I'm not an assclown ammosexual who gets his dick confused with his firearm(s).

Glad I do not patronize those assclowns. Do they also have video slot machines in store? I've found that is another sign of a bad place to shop.

After I moved to my new house on the NW side of town a few years ago I used to use the local Phillips 66 a few blocks away. Then they got in video slots and the next thing I know I'm putting gas in and some dude in a store uniform is smoking cigarettes with a pistol on his hip emptying the trash at the gas pumps. Never been back.

They put ad's on gas pumps now? Does that make the gas cheaper? Glad I fuel up at Kum and Go as they do not. Also screw this guy and his backward stupidity. The more I hear from him the less I like him.

read a little further down. Sec. 18-24. SS b (2) states that "Only female chickens shall be allowed. There shall be no restriction on chicken breeds."

Springfield city code says only female chickens can be kept if you have 6 or less. See https://library.municode.com/mo/springfield/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICO_CH18AN_ARTIINGE_S18-24KEFOCH

More than 6 and other rules apply, like needing to be kept 50 feet away from any other building and larger pen size.

But only if you use it for fortunetelling and not for raising a zombie hoard to bring destruction on all those who you have perceived to have slighted you. Skeletons and flesh golems are also available. But, using corpses, body parts, and other such things violates other laws.

High bumpers do disproportionately more damage and cause more severe injuries than standard height ones. Studies were done, tests were made, and measurements taken. Regulations were set off of the results of these. And are in fact a bit higher than what was recommended.

Taxes for school districts are not use taxes, rather they are public service taxes just like road, sales, and income taxes. While YOUR children (if any) may not be using the service, you as a member of the public ARE using said service. As YOU directly benefit from having public schools. We had this debate over a century ago when we first set up the mandatory public school system...

There are several arguments against.

1. Why should the schools have to accommodate a non-student? Especially with limited budgets.
2. Why should a non-student get to take up a spot on a team that a regular student may want?
3. This opens up schools to athletic recruiting shenanigans. If you can get a non-regular student on your sportsball team, there is a significant risk (as we saw in the past leading to the current rule set) that children will be recruited to specific teams.
4. Homeschoolers opt out of the school system for a reason. Getting to pick and chose what parts you want should not be an option. If you want your kid in a public schools athletic program (or art or music) then enroll them public school.

As a child I was home schooled for several years. It was not a good thing and I suffered from it. But god said to do so and thus I was stuck. And while over the decades I've interacted with a small number of children who were helped by it, the vast majority I've met were not.

So they want the schools to let their kids not attend like other students, but still participate in sports and other such activities? Sounds like they want to pick and choose what part of society they get to take advantage of while opting out of things they do not want. Maybe they should get together with the other homeschool parents and make a homeschool sports team.

In both cases they did not follow/know the law and suffered no consequences. Yet if you or I tried that argument, do you think the judge would buy it?
