    What should I do?

    Thanks for the advice. I was tempted to go to a recruitment office but I was scared that I would be drafted right on the spot. Plus I'm not in good shape. I'm just trying to weigh in the options after finishing college and this makes the most sense. Give thanks to your husband for serving. 21...

    Couch to 5k

    Thanks for all the good apps and advice. I've been trying the C25K program, not in a strict sense. I just need to commit to the schedule. It's so hard to find time and the motivation[so hard to wake at 6am to go running before going the work]. I need to find a better schedule. And my knees are...

    What should I do?

    I've finished my BS in CS from UCLA. I've been looking for work for a couple of months. I would really enjoy working in a job that's affiliated with the police. I have a lot of student debt. So should I join the Army/Air Force or try to get in the Police Academy? If I went the military route...

    At what age would you consider someone to be old?

    When you start to make grunt noise every time you lift yourself out a chair, when you pick up something from the floor and let out a small, "ahh"; when your back starts to hurt, when you start shouting, "get of my lawn you punks!". That's my personal opinion.

    What is the upper age limit for hiring a law enforcement officer?

    Like @Dixons said @headmaster Here's an example of what I would do if I were in Los Angeles: I would go to JoinLAPD: College Students and I can see that I could apply. I would get in contact to get more information and get in top notch physical/mental state so I could ace the exam. So to add...

    Do police officers surf the net at work?

    But the real question should be: Isn't this the norm? I have a typical 9-5 work type job. And yes, I do occasionally "coast" though web site while there's nothing to do. But is a good idea, right? It increases productivity? Making "spanking the monkey" make people more productive throughout the...

    Couch to 5k

    Has anyone tried this program: From couch potato to 5k? Have you achieved good results? Do you take fitness with a schedule in mind or just do it? Do you like to record (note-taking) what you do each day?

    Can I get arrested if I ask a cop "Do you want some pot?"

    I know that it seems like a really stupid question. I was watching this prank video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBKfICSIgR0 around 2:47, the pranker goes and ask a police officer if they want pot and after a while he shows them a cooking pot. The Police officer tells him to "go away as...

    What's wrong with people

    I think you nailed it with that comment. Even if I'm not guilty, I'll get nervous with the whole situation. Up to this point, I got stop by awesome police officers. But talking with friends, there are police officers that will "make up" any excuse to issue you a ticket. I'm not saying: "hey...

    What movies have you seen recently?

    I saw a Chef yesterday. I think everyone should see it. It explains how one can become a better person and never give up. If you have passion and you are willing to work, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Spoiler: None. Just go see it. You'll be glad. Spoiler #1: There's a...

    Jackie Chan has ignited controversy

    Ok, he won we over. He can say whatever he wants. He is literally putting "money where his mouth is". Another example of Jackie Chan: Jackie Chan's Son Will Get None Of His $130 Million Fortune, he said "If he is capable, he can make his own money. If he is not, then he will just be wasting...

    What's your regular day to day schedule?

    Thanks for the reply. I should have more specific in regards to which role. But you answer has prompted me with another question. How do they log in the hours? Is it mandatory to do extra hours or is it the nature of the job? How do you juggle work life with personal life?

    Boyfriend in Mexico made his girlfriend wear a chastity lock on her pants

    Chastity belts are inhumane. I also thought they were a myth until I google around and found a wikipedia article.

    Jackie Chan has ignited controversy

    I think, like most of you, that was a huge foot in the mouth moment. I guess he could have phrased it differently. But at the end of the day, he is an amazing entertainer. Below a present a brief video in which he demonstrates his ability for performance mixed with the superb martial art skills...

    Do you feel apprehensive about buying doughnuts in uniform?

    I never quite understood the relationship between doughnuts and police officers. I mean, there are a lot of references on tv shows, for example: on The Simpsons. But in real life, I have only witnessed it twice.
