Do people realize that you can send marijuana through overnight carriers with zero detection?
Yes, many people realize that you can ship all kinds of things that are illegal or unsafe to ship through air and ground carriers. Cannabis seeds make it through US customs daily, cannabis by the ounce and pound are shipped all over the US, and I imagine cocaine, heroin, molly, etc are all shipped too. It's a numbers game that is far and wide in favor of the senders and receivers. There isn't time for the carriers to scrutinize packages, not even 1%. Most are for-profit companies that want to make money shipping stuff, there is no profit in busting people. Unless, there is an on-going investigation and the investigator caught wind of the shipment and obtained warrants, outside of individual targeting, people are rarely caught doing this.My friend was "caught", he shipped an ounce of cannabis from Michigan to Florida overnight by FedEx. He surmises that the envelope was a little too fat and the processing machine was jammed by it, FedEx said one of their machines damaged the envelope and tore it. This all happened in Atlanta, Georgia, FedEx gave him the option to destroy the package, which he gave them permission to do. That was the end of it, no federal or state law enforcement actions at all.I also know someone who received 5lbs. of garbage cannabis at her shop in the name of a former employee via USPS. For whatever reason she opened it to discover the cannabis and called the police. She told me she wasn't sure if she was being set-up, because the former employee left on bad terms. Detroit police and USPS inspectors arrived took the package into evidence and she never heard anything there after.Carriers really don't care about this aspect of shipping illegal drugs, it is the hazmat stuff that can leak, release vapor, spontaneously combust, things that can exploded with shock, or biological material that is infectious. Things that can harm employees, contaminate vehicles, or take-down aircraft are the bane of the industry.I have a 20+ year background in security, part of my experience includes high-risk transportation, logistics, and industrial safety. My company has transported dangerous caustics, explosive ammunition components (military components), and dangerous biologics. This is a country's real danger that travels on roads everyday and everywhere. I would tend to think that anyone attempting to transport a large amount of drugs would either use their own plane or hired freight liner.
What advice do you have for anyone contemplating divorce?
Please think long and hard.Think about the timing.Think about people besides yourself.This especially applies to people who have been married for several decades. Even more so if you still have school-aged children living at home.Can this decision be postponed somewhat? After a couple of amicable decades, will another year of marriage truly ruin your life beyond repair? Can you wait until the last child has graduated high school? Can you hold off until that big happy family event is over?Have you considered the effects on your family in entirety? That’s not to say it has to direct your decision.But please don’t be caught off guard by the ways it affects your grown children.It will affect your children who don’t live at home. It will impact their children’s life.It will affect the significant others of your children. It will play a role in their lives.And it will, no matter what, not be fully understood by all of your immediate family.Whether that actually impacts your decision or not is up to you. Many times it doesn’t have any impact on your choices.But please, don’t be caught off guard. After 30 years, your children might not understand what they perceive as rushing into a huge decision.Especially if their lives are impacted directly.Just don’t be surprised.
Best way to retaliate against your Neighbors from Hell?
OMG, I have put up with these people for two years now. We each have one acre lots, but they are just the worse liars and pos people I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. Their dogs bark all the time, their dogs are loose all the time (YES I have called the police and humane society numerous times), their SIX homeschooled kids are home all the time YELLING and SCREAMING at the top of their lungs for hours, the radio is playing loud, the fumes from their diesel trucks which run for hours is chocking the life out of me and I CANT BREATHE, and I can go on and on and on. Please, I really need to get back at them. I have never done anything bad to anyone my whole life (on purpose) and don't even know where to begin. We can't sell because our business is also on this property and that's just not possible. I picked up 5 piles of their dogs poop this morning by my mailbox. PLEASE give me some good ideas to make these people want to move without getting me in trouble with the law.
What stops someone from hiring a locksmith to open someone else's door?
If the door is locked and the customer would also want the locksmith to unlock the door for them, the locksmith should ask for some ID (driving licence, credit card with their name on it, etc). If the customer don’t have an ID or if they do and the locksmith has any reason to suspect it’s not their premises, once inside the locksmith should also ask the customer to see some letters with their name on it (and one that matches the ID that was previously presented).The fact is that the locksmith can’t always be %100 that the customer are who they say they are and that they have permission to enter the house and/or change the lock. People can also steal you mail and say “My bag was stolen but once we’re inside I’ll show papers under my name” while using the name on the papers the stole from you mailbox earlier or try all kinds of dodgy tricks.Not once it happened to you working as a locksmith that you come to open a door for a customer and there is someone inside while the 2 persons (the one in and the one out) are having a dispute about who is right about staying in the flat, or other situations where people fake ID to gain entry to premises that aren’t theirs. It’s very hard to tell and as long as there are people there would be con artists that will make all types of scams, so you can never prevent this from happening. All locksmiths should however do their best to not open the door for the wrong people.
Will PISCES forgive me?
I'm a Capricorn woman. My on-again-off-again pisces ex boyfriend for 2 years were trying to make things work (for the future I suppose) but a lot has kept us from doing so. He has a baby on the way by another woman when he and I weren't together. I've begun to accept it, but the only thing about him is that he tells pointless lies or makes it seem like he wants to be with the both of us and I'm not having that! Anyways, he and I have always had this cycle where we get into arguments, say harsh things and he returns months later and we're back like nothing ever happened. Well just recently, he pissed me off so bad (from lying to me) that I really pushed it to the limit. I mean I called him offensive names, like f*ggot or son of a b*tch and he in turn called me a b*tch and said he'd NEVER forgive me for disrespecting him like that. He said we'll NEVER be cool again. We both said some really mean things that seemed like we were holding in forever. I apologized to him shortly after the argument, but he never responded and I know he's gone again. My question is, do you think he'll return or forgive me? All I care about is maintaining a friendship with him someday. But right now, things are too delicate. He's said "never" before but he's always come back in my life. I'm just afraid that this time he might be really gone and I let my anger get the best of me. Your thoughts??
