Comment on Does Tickling Cause Stuttering

2011-06-07T15:07:23Z

Hello...my name is stacy and my daughter whom is about to turn 3 started stuttering about 5 months ago and it seems to be getting worse.She was not a late talker or crawler ect...just one day it started and it has not stoped since. I have had issues with her constantly having colds or allergies every two to three wks and have to be on antibiotics. I have also discovered that her tonsils are very large so this could be why she is sick alot. We are still waiting on a referal appt. to the ear, nose, and throat doctor to confirm though. My question to you is can her tonsils being to large have started this stuttering all of a sudden? Dr. states that it is possible but I have never heard of this before. Also when I have googled it I am not finding anything to back this theory up. Please if you could share some insight it would be appreciated thanks!

Comment on Deer Crossings and Driver Safety

That is exactly what they did here on Highway 93 North out of Missoula. We used to see many deer nailed by the side of the road and many people hurt or killed by hitting them. I would first like to point out we could probably drop the killing rate by drivers slowing during dawn and dusk when these animals are really moving from feeding to sleeping grounds (or vise-verse) and watching for them. We actually stopped on Highway 90 east to let a group of deer cross, many people passed us at 70+ MPH, even though we had STOPPED in the right lane.

When they refurbished Highway 93 North, they included fencing and a LARGE crossing bridge complete with grass and fencing along it's side. This year I've seen one dead animal in this area.

California knew this when they created some of the freeways of the 70's where they made under freeway passes for the critters and found the animals diverted from normal paths to go UNDER a freeway. I have also witnessed deer go under Highway 93 where they have some very large stream pipes under the road... These animals seem to understand what's happening, at least I'm hoping that's the case.

Also, sometimes they just launch out of the trees next to the road and you hit them, such is fate, so not all are to blame. But during dusk and dawn keep your speed down, your eyes open for any movement at the edge of the clearing for the road, you might be surprised at the animals you are able to save and maybe your or your family.

"The report also suggests creating some form of sensor for roadways that is capable of detecting the presence of large animals or obstructions."

They already use such a thing in Colorado! I saw it on Hwy 160 from Durango to Pagosa Springs. They have sensors somewhere off in the woods, near the highway, and when a large animal triggers one of the sensors, the highway sign lights up and flashes, warning drivers that deer are near the highway. I thought what an awesome idea! I hope it really works!

Comment on Tax Collectors

2010-07-24T22:22:59Z

What a crock. We lost revenue because auditors and collectors were SACKED? How about the fact that a liberal government is punishing capitalism and jobs are being lost, businesses are cutting back (or going out of business), workers are being let go, ergo profits are lower, ergo revenue is lower.
