DISQUS

Did the neon have it's directional on? I've had to break pretty quick there as I try to cross only to find the car on the other side is turning left in front of me (though I have right of way). It happens all too frequently at this intersection and the one at the Tech College in Nashua.

165 is a huge adoptin fee if that is all it was but try and spay a female kitten for less than 150 without state aid. The fees also go to feeding and housing the other cats (and dogs) at the shelter and in foster care.

Not sure about anyone else, but as a parent I'd like to think that I could keep my child busy after school without relying on the government to do it for me. They want to join a sports program? Sure, I'll pay for it, and they can help me with chores around the house to earn the funds. That's how it work in my family as a child.

There are many pepole who have heard of the Chinook, especially those that have studied NH history or spent any time upstate at the
"tourist traps". Personally I prefer herding dogs but I have yet to see any connection a BC or sheltie have to NH historically. Up with the Chinook down with the nay-sayers.

funny, just the other day I saw an article that claimed that the turnpike was kept up better than 93 during storms.

I don't usually have any issues with the turnpike... my issues are the people going too fast and the others going too slow because they are afraid. If you fear for an accident use DW Highway.

We've been wondering what happened. I work near where this took place and myself and my coworkers saw the cruisers and rescue personal responding. It made many of our clients late for thier appointments. Odd that an accident that shut down a major thruway didn't get reported on for 4 days.

I'm not sure I will want to sit in gridlock waiting for an ambulance once I start labor. Contractions 3 minutes apart doesn't sound like she would have had a lot of time to sit around and wait.

How do you know its a false report? How do you know its not real? Personally, I was the subject of of such a "false report" ( there was no abuse, just an incredibly clumsy child in the ER twice in 12 hours for sutures) but honestly, even my parents were greatful for the concern of the hospital staff despite the questions and inspections they were subjected to. As am I. If I really had been an abused child I know someone had done their due diligence and made a report.

Wished I had seen it and heard it. I wanted to be a Navy Pilot when I was a young girl and studied the different aircraft. I remember listening to them take off during an airshow at Pease but what I don't remember is the sound during a landing. ( Except the harrier. That I will always remember!) I mention this because yesterday afternoon I was in the backyard (Merrimack/Amherst area) and heard a loud dull thump. Like some huge explosion from miles away. I wondered if something exploded somewhere, now I'm thinking maybe it was the F-18 landing at Nashua. Am I right?

"We are just 20 days out from the election, and we are coming right down to the wire because Red Sox fans know how to turn an underdog to a victor because that's exactly what we know what to do."

Um What? 5 years towards a BA in communication and this is what she has to say?

"A greater respect by hostile nations"? What respect? Our country is a laughing stock. Sticking our noses in places we don't belong and telling people how they should be running their countries causes more conflicts than it relieves.

I'm a little surprised that this inhouse testing isn't already more available in human medicine clinics. Veterinary clinics have been using inhouse chemistry, cbc, and now thyroid and cortisol tests for years. They're are not always perfect (though very close) and can take 20 to 30 minutes to prep and run, but it beats waiting 4 hours or more for stat bloods sent to the lab.

I don't believe Obama is a savior. I believe he is a human being capable of learning from his past. I am, are you? I'd don't believe he is his cousin either. Certainly they are related but do you do, or even agree with, everything your cousins do? Obama worked for Project Vote, not Acorn. Acorn aided Project vote in 1992. And as for Acorn, when did these fraudulent votes take place. Was it 1992? And was it Chicago?
BTW did you know the "gentleman" that posted those youtube video was a christian, conservative, capitalist with an article about L Ron Hubbard from penthouse on his myspace page? As a straight down the middle reg. Independent 30+ woman expecting her first child, here is someone I can believe to tell me the truth. So far eveything I've read comes from one side or the other. Personally I perfer non-partisan, and John Stewart.

I'll admit it. I'm sick of the mudslinging. I was from the first. Certainly character is an important part of choosing a the next President of our country, but I'd truly like to see a candidate without some connection (however tenuous) to some shady dealings from their past. McCain you say? Look who he picked as his running mate. I'm sure the Alaskan judical system believes her completely innocent.

As for character, mistakes can be made. Associations and relationships can be regretted and learned from. Learning and growing are important parts of character building. I'm not convinced that Obama and Ayers were "pals". Certainly they worked together to make improvements in Chicago, but that doesn't require people to share all the same philosophies. I'd much rather my next leader be one that can realized that what he's believes may not work and learn from that rather than one who doesn't believe that they need to reconsider their stance for the good of their country.

If McCain wants to go after Obama, go after his policies. Find a way to improve the economics and political structure of this country. Improve our lives instead of trying to tear down one man.

I didn't like that road, that intersection, or that hill, when I lived in Mont Vernon and I certainly didn't like being on it this summer with our bike (even if I was only the passenger). I hope the Talberts make a full recovery and that others learn from this to pay closer attention.

Oh the other hand, if you are following the speed limit (or are at least close to it) it makes it a WHOLE LOT easier to avoid killing living creatures that cross in front of you. "Deal with it"? Moronic. I think people are missing the point. Its about not driving 50 mph on a back road not whether someone was an irresponsible pet owner.

How do you know she wasn't cited? Appearently the cops are not giving you much info so how do you know she didn't get her ticket and just pay her fine?

A ticket for what exactly? An elderly drive acccidently pucha car in reverse not drive. Was she speeding? Driving recklessly? Using her cellphone? I'm sure there was extensive damage but what little information you just provided showed it as purely an accident. An "oops" moment. Similar to when my fiance recently backed into our garage door.

My thinking is that this isn't Merrimack either. For one thing the church is on the wrong side of DW, too close to the river (up near exit 12), and the buildings are too close together. My fiance and I kind of think its some other small NE town.

Huh, Here I thought the DNC provide a HUGE influx of revenue to Denver. What could I have possibly been thinking?
And Jim, sure Obama was reading from a telepromotor. So was McCain. Sure it was what a professional writer wrote for him. And so was McCain. But at the very least the puppet Obama didn't sound like a puppet.

Probably because unless you have a laptop with you to use the email on the exsisting map, you have no way to contact anyone involved with the Preserve. As I understand from the above article, they were simple looking for the fastest way out of the preserve, not lost. If they were on the Loop Trail ( as I was yesterday) it is a very long walk, especially at dusk.

As a side note: anyone using the Loop Trail from the Beaver Pond side ( near the Rocky Trail) watch out for the wasp nest hanging about 6 ft directly over the trail. My husband nearly bumped it while walking down the hill. You can see it more easily walking up. Its very large and very active.

Where did it say the dog was vicious? It barks. So do all three of my dogs and they LOVE people and attention. But I agree the feces needs to be picked up on a regular basis (daily if you are within eyesight of a neighbor). Beyond the smell, many parasites can be transmitted back to the dog or his handlers should if he becomes infected. Perhaps the fine Christian neighbors of the Upper Room Ministery, since they are so concerned for the welfare of their disabled neighbors, would be willing to help them out, since that's what they claim this group does. Putting up a fence isn't a great way to bolster relations.

I heard them crash and saw them hit the guardrail as I was approarching underneath on the milford side when it happened and I called 911. I didn't see anyone ejected or on 101a, just the wrecks and the fire. The mess of the jeep, I couldn't have identified it from the ground it was so twisted, looked like it had rolled over a few times, though I didn't see that happen. It could have easily gone right over on to the cars passing under. Scary. I wished I could have done more to help but I was in the wrong lane to get onto the highway. What a tragedy.
