Despite Minnesota's sub-zero temperatures in the winter, only the mall's entrances are heated. Heat is allowed in through skylights above The Park at MOA. Heat is produced by lighting fixtures, other electric devices and also by employees and guests of the mall in sufficient amounts to keep it comfortable. In fact, even during the winter, air conditioning systems need to be run nonstop during peak hours to ensure a comfortable shopping environment.
I also found it interesting that I was offered a job out there for 1/2 my current wage to manage a facility almost twice as large as my current building. Retail is always tough that way though.
If I was involved in an accident, where it was deemed not my fault, and the guy that was driving was driving after revokation, can my insurance rates go up if my insurance company pays for some of the medical expenses? I've been told by a few places that my rates can't go up.. but they did... twice.
Another one...
If I bought a car from my friend without a title, and the previous owner has a lien against the car, and I have abill of sale, can I get the car retitled in MN and get MN plates for it..?
Thanks Kitch! You're the best! :smile: :grin: :wink: :ooh:
"Toehead" is a frequent misspelling of the correct word: "towhead", which is "a person -- usually a young person -- who has very blond hair, almost flaxen or pale yellow. 'Tow' has for centuries been used as a name for flax or hemp prepared for spinning."
Ref: *The Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins* by William and Mary Morris.
Some colleagues of mine were discussing the issue of children and the word "tow-head" (toe-head?) came to mind. We were trying to find out where the term "tow-head" originated from.
Towhead does seem to arouse peoples' curiosity. The term, the first element of which is pronounced like "toe," means 'a head of light-colored or tousled hair', and hence 'a person with such hair'. There is also the derived form tow-headed.
Etymologically, towhead simply means 'having a head resembling tow'. What's that?, you ask. Well, as you might have guessed, there's more than one word tow. Of the two tows you're likely to encounter, the other one is the one that means 'to pull (a car, etc.) by a rope, chain, etc.'. This word is from a Germanic word meaning 'to drag'; it's related to tug.
The word tow in towhead means 'the fiber of flax, hemp, or jute, prepared for spinning'. Such fibers are both light-colored and messy, and so towhead can refer to someone with light or messy hair. The word is very often used of children.
This tow is ultimately from an Old English word 'thread; something for spinning', and is related to other Germanic words in similar senses. Towhead is an Americanism from the nineteenth century.
We'd just moved into a house that had a balcony on the second floor. I was sitting on the balcony with my mother and my aunt. A bird perched on the balcony railing and left some droppings.
I asked, "why is bird poop white and people poop is brown?"
My aunt didn't miss a beat - she asked, "Oh? Is your poop BROWN???"
A couple of years ago when one of my grandsons was four years old we were shopping for something at Menards. The belt at the check out had some white paint splatters on it. He told me there was bird poop on the belt. When walked to the car there was a big splotch where someone must have dropped a can of white paint. His eyes got all big and he said, "Grandma, a big bird pooped here!"
Urine consists of excess water and waste products that have been filtered from the blood by the kidneys. Its natural yellow color is due to excretion of urochrome, a pigment from blood. Depending on the amount of fluids you drink, your urine can range in color from almost clear (diluted) to dark orange (concentrated).
The typical bright yellow color of urine is caused by the pigment urochrome, but also from the degradation products of bilirubin and urobilin. Clear colors are a sign of hydration and are the preferred colors of urine.
Urban myth states that urine works well against jellyfish stings, although in reality it is at best ineffective and in some cases may actually make the injury worse
Its brown coloration comes from a combination of bile and bilirubin, which comes from dead red blood cells.
In newborn babies, fecal matter is initially yellow/green after the meconium. This coloration comes from the presence of bile alone. In time, as the body starts expelling bilirubin from dead red blood cells, it acquires its familiar brown appearance, unless the baby is breast feeding, in which case it remains soft, pale yellowish, and not-unpleasantly scented until the baby begins to eat significant amounts of other food.
Throughout the life of an ordinary human, one may experience many types of feces. A "green" stool is from rapid transit of feces through the intestines (or the consumption of certain blue or green food dyes in quantity), and "clay-like" appearance to the feces is the result of a lack of bilirubin.
Bile overload is very rare, and not a health threat. Problems as simple as serious diarrhea can cause blood in one's stool, turning it black. Black stools caused by blood usually indicate a problem in the intestines (the black blood is digested), whereas red streaks of blood in stool are usually caused by bleeding in the rectum or anus.

I would say that the car can not be transfered until the lean is paid off or realesed from the person that has it. Bill of sale will not work.
These are just my opinions and may not be factual. Kitch probly has a better answer than me.
I'd call DMV...but good luck...I didn't have the time to wait on their phone.
Its where she works.
