    Well, you do have to consider the changing view of the dispensers. Nursing students dream job.
    Could emasculate 100 men with one good smirk or shorthorn comment.

    I still don’t think I should be responsible for paying for their dream job, so they can make 100k+ a year.

    Took a stroll outside. Have been smelling a slight perfume smell in the mornings for the past week.

    Realized it is the Plum tree which is in full bloom at the moment.

    Cherry trees are starting to bloom, and pears are budding leaves.

    Spring blooming Magnolia is coming out also.

    Azaleas and Rhododendrons are kinda lagging though, I remember them being some of the first plants to bloom.

    I am willing to pay people to do a job I either don't want to do or will not do.

    I personally have zero interest in handling a hundred cups of urine every day. Especial the stuff collected from drunks, druggies, or truckers.

    That wasn’t my meaning, meaning I shouldn’t have to pay for their schooling

    MORE INFO: According to a family member of a person in the van... The van had mechanical issues that would cause the engine to die. Just before the intersection the engine died, causing a loss of engine vacume assisted braking force. This is why the driver of the van ran the stop sign, he was unable to stop.

    So much tragedy because of an unrepaired mechanical issue. I dont even know how to feel about this... I can understand not having money to fix an otherwise functioning personal vehicle. But it also angers me that they werent driving vehicle in such a way so as to compensate for the possibly increased stopping distance.

    My heart goes out to all those affected by this tragedy.

    Going to be a conservative contrarian here.......

    Who should pay for their schooling/employment/licensing then..... the government? So that every tax payer pitches in to pay for the person to collect your Wiz quiz? Don't forget to tack on a bit more overhead money for the cost a bureaucratic oversight panel/authority.

    I have a hard time justifying the cost of my screenings and would prefer not to help pay for yours or anybody else's, no offense intended.

    Multiple supermarkets pay for mine everytime I walk through the door, should I work for free? You get paid for your knowledge and skills right?

    Well said.... Its just a cost of doing business. Adjust rates accordingly and move on.
