These people don't have a gender problem,they have a mind problem.

So,following THEIR logic,shouldn't they be cutting their heads off instead of their genitals?

South Carolina woman dies after being impaled by beach umbrella
By Patrick Reilly   
August 11, 2022 11:39pm

A South Carolina woman was killed after she was impaled in the chest by a beach umbrella that had blown away in a gust of wind, local officials said.

Tammy Perreault was at a Garden City beach when the umbrella broke loose from its anchor and struck her around 12:40 p.m. on Wednesday, Horry County Chief Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard told reporters. ...

Injuries and deaths from beach umbrellas careening down beaches after they’ve been caught in the wind are not uncommon.

The spiked end of the umbrellas can become lethal once a gust of wind catches the device’s canopy and sends it flying, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The federal agency estimates about 3,000 people are injured by beach umbrellas every year. ...

Congress needs to enact umbrella control laws immediately, all umbrellas must be registered and owners must have mandatory training classes and licenses.

@mountaineer

I kinda doubt that. I have lived on a beach or near a beach for over half of my life,and this is the first time I have ever heard of this happening.

BUT......,IF it IS  a problem,it is a simple one to solve. Just demand the manufacturers of Beach Umbrellas use a large rounded or even a blunt end on them instead of a pointed end.

This ain't rocket science,folks.

Hempfield woman told police she was going to sell 40 bricks of heroin to raise cash for son's attorney
Renatta Signorini | Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022 5:10 p.m.

A Hempfield woman told police she bought 40 bricks of heroin to earn money and was going to sell the drugs to pay for her son’s defense attorney, according to court papers.

Misty D. Giron, 46, was arrested last week on drug charges. She is accused of talking with her son, who is being held at the Westmoreland County Prison on rape and drug charges, about illegal substances left behind at his Youngwood apartment, according to court papers.

Giron was found with vape pens and wax containing THC — the active psychoactive component of marijuana — on Feb. 4, the same items Brandon Giron described to her on a recorded line from the Hempfield prison a few days earlier, troopers said. Police said they also seized 40 bricks of suspected heroin and fentanyl. ... Pittsburgh Tribume-Review

Police still looking for answers after body discovered in home

By BILL McMILLEN
The Daily News

BULLHEAD CITY — The curious case of a body found in a Bullhead City home on Saturday has more questions than answers.

The Mohave County Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to complete its report on the body that was discovered in an otherwise-empty bathtub at a residence in the 100 block of Palm Avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets in Old Bullhead, at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday.

The discovery came during an apparently unrelated burglary investigation after police were called for a report of someone inside the thought-to-be-vacant home.

I have no clue who these people are, but I do know the addresses of the dead homeowner and the burglar.  She's in a crapton of trouble, but so far she only has 2 counts of Burglary against her.

All fun starts in BHC.  The gal who was Alec Baldwin's Armorer lives here, too (last time I checked).

And you thought your ex was bad: New Jersey man is caught making daily visits to PEE on grave of ex-wife he divorced 48 years ago by woman's horrified children - and he even took current spouse to watch

A man has been caught on camera urinating on his ex-wife's grave

Michael Murphy, 43, first noticed something was amiss after spotting a bag of feces had been left at the gravesite on several visits

He and his sister got permission to get up a trail camera to video visitors

The man, who was married to his mother 48 years ago, was seen getting out of his car and then peeing on the gravesite

The police said there's nothing they can do as there's no physical threats

I can do it. And HAVE done it... Is it worth it for 400 bucks?
NOPE. Oddly enough, it wasn't worth it to anyone else there at the time, as I'd have gladly paid em the money to get the rest of the wallet back. Not a one.

So you're welcome to it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm a redneck. I am in sh*t every day of my life.
I wasn't willing to go scuba-diving in that tidy-bowl. And neither was anyone else - INCLUDING the sh*t-pumper guy who could have sucked the most of it out and have a whole lot less to deal with.

*NO* takers. Not just me.

Oh, I'll do it... Worst I ever been was in a cold-water irrigation well a cow fell into...
By the time they found her, she was dang near soup. bones disarticulated...

It was AWFUL being down in that well... and even with a wet-suit, the stank of it didn't wear off for months. I might do that again... but it would cost you plenty.

No thanks! I had too many experiences as a plumber doing commercial work, What is it about people when you tell them no using the toilet and they say yes I understand but the second you have cut out the piece of overhead sewer line they take a huge dump and flush it? I also was down in the collection tank of a campground to strip and recoat the concrete tank...same, excuse me shit! I told the boss nope no more, I wanna go back to working in nice clean research and virology labs.

HAHAHA! Being a painter as my last official business before I got sick, We've done industrial sewage tanks - Not too many companies will deal with old skool epoxies like that... But being painters, they know we get a little uppity... The tank was given to me already pumped and steam cleaned, and of a surety, with both the inlet(s) and outlet(s) properly plugged so there could be no surprises.

So all we had to do is get through the acid etching, pressure wash, and then get seriously stoned on epoxy fumes in an enclosed space. Epoxy is a pretty nice high if you eat a big greasy burger beforehand (tech hack)... But either way, you get lit as hell, even with a proper mask.

So epoxy day was always a blast.  :laugh:

It's simply astounding how all of those oh-so-vociferous feminists are oh-so-silent now when real men who have a sexual fetish for playing dress-up are actually coopting women's events and women's accomplishments, and generally colonizing the concept of being female.

And with the most ridiculous stereotypes of femaleness. How many real women even come close to resembling the cartoonishness of this bloated nutjob in NH or the drag queens on TV?
