  1. 00 due to possible rounding of numbers by the lender.
    Type the monthly due dates for every installment payment under column B, starting
    with Cell B10 through Cell B33. Great which will depend upon the time you apply and just how much information the loan company has
    the capacity to confirm.

      Most of them thinks that they are driving/riding on an air strip. At times a vehicle would over take u , then to make a stop a few blocks away, some of them don’t put on their thinking caps while on our roads .

      To the family members of the deceased, hold on strong.

    This was a horrible accident. I did not witness it, but my husband and I saw the aftermath of it; the corpse lying in the road in an awkward, twisted way, and just crowds of people, well, just looking…
    The most horrifying thing to me though, there were crowds of people with their smartphones, either taking pictures or videoing the dead body. I thought to myself that these folk are voyeuristic with a lack of respect for the dead. Is this is what we have become?

      That’s your opinion sweetheart, but we’re living in the age of technology. That’s why we are able to read your opinion here.

        Technology can be used for the good things in life, such as research, reading, education and even entertainment.
        But when you have a bunch of vultures videoing and photographing a dead body, without any loved ones or family members being notified, AND then placed on social networking sites, is drastically wrong and participating in voyeuristic and carnal behaviour.

        Do people have any kind of morals or core values at all anymore?

      No respect. I saw those graphic photos via facebook and never realize this actually happened in DA. People we need to be more cautious about what we post. This man has family. How would you feel to see a photo of your loved one in a state like this plastered over the internet . Alas!! Be considerate to the family.
      RIP who ever you are my friend. My sympathies to the family!!!!

    May the soul of the young man rest in peace. I pray that his parents keep strong at this time. It is not easy for any parents to endure. I pray for Father Yahweh’s protection on our roads, in Yeshua’ name.

    Motorists! there is an engine in your motor and when you lose control the engine takes over, what ever your problems always put safety first. Another waste of a life

    My heart felt condolences to the family and friends of this young man. I think that area should have speed bumps in place to slow down the traffic. To all the motorcycle riders please be careful,use protective gear and ride cautiously. You know when you’re on a motorcycle you have to ride with them idiot drivers in mind,they don’t respect motorcycles. I’m not saying this is the case with this accident but generally there’s a lack of respect for motorcyclist.

    Accept our sympathy. R.I.P. another young man gone.

    God have mercy! Motorcyles are so dangerous and still our young are ignoring safety precautions such as helmets. May his soul rest in peace.
