The way I deal with Facebook is "not at all". Don't have an account. Don't need the drama from "friends".

Same applies here.

I think it means Dallas Cowboys fans are gay, but I hope not. I find that offensive and insulting. Don't you compare us to Cowboys fans. [emoji38][emoji38]

A friggin' credit card ain't going to get you where you want to be! :up:

Welcome Audrey to the world folks :) 9lbs even, 20" long, and healthy :)

Where everything goes just right! I finally figured out why my 1885 didn't like cast boolits. The expander plug in my die was too small & was compressing the less bullet in the case to the point it wouldn't obturate to bore size. Half an hour if test loading got me 22 consecutive hits on a 24" tall by 12" wide plate at 600yds. I also shot my first deliberate group at 1000yds with my 6.5x55. The wind was tough to read, but I managed an 8" 3 shot group. Not world being, but good enough that I'm still grinning!

Think of this I watch your house and your neighbors for a few weeks, learn the patterns. Now you go out on the town, come home and find you garage shut, but something is wrong. I have got into the house, opened the door from the inside, wrapped a chain around the safe and pulled it out and it is in the back of my truck. it is now to be opened at my whim. How do I know you and others have a safe in the garage, I can read and you just posted it for the world to read. The closer it is to a large door the easier it is to get out of the house.   No I am not a thief, but am always thinking about how to keep my stuff from getting taken.   I can tell yall wont be loading mine up on a truck where it is.

I considered putting my safe in the garage for a few minutes but I wasn't comfortable having it in view of the public. Mine is in the house with multiple desiccant packs (no outlet in the closet and really no way to run an extension cord but I would love to have a golden rod or similar as well).   My neighbor has two large safes in his garage with a rubber mat under them. He has 2 golden rods in each and has a large dehumidifier in the garage to help out, no issues (been setup this way about 3 years).

I know it's hard to believe but I was a grand father at age 35. I didn't learn about my oldest grandson until two years after my oldest sons death from a car accident and learned his girlfriend was pregnant with his son. His girlfriend at the time of his accident waited a couple years to tell me because I had lost my son and she wanted me to get over that before telling me about Michael. The news was somewhat of a shock but a wonderful one has she not told me I would have never known him. I see him or hear from him at least once a month. He is a Cheatham County Sheriff's deputy and has been for about 7 years now.  Now with that said the new pet names are already starting again as I now have 1 great grandson 3 years old and I am Peepaw again. I have two more great grand daughters not yet speaking and going to have another Great grand daughter any day now. About two weeks ago I got my daughter to sit down and begin making me a nice list of a kind of family tree with all the kids grand kids and great grand kids so I can keep up with all of them. She also is making it so pictures of each can be updated regularly. Sure makes it a lot easier keeping up with my pride of kids as I age................... :up:   names Oldest son   Doug Jr.  (1968-1990) Daughter   Murieka Son Ronnie son Richard 1st grandson Michael 2nd grandson Matthew 3nd grandson  Justin 4th grandson Ritchie Jr. (1st granddaughter Danielle) (2nd grandson Cody) These two were born same day, same hospital 2 hours apart! 2 different Mothers 4th grandson   Logan 1st great grandson    Stephen 1st great gran daughter  Christy 2nd great gran daughter  Faith 

I had never really thought about grandchildren back years ago and now I have great grandchildren. Family gathering like ThanksGiving are an adventure these days............... :up: :up: :up:

Dave Ramsey was a God send to me in the early 90s, and I owe a majority of his advice to my money management skills today.  Probablem with Dave, he assumes you are a patient person, and desire to covet is low.  Will power is required.  Same Will power to loose weight too.  I can manage money great, but not the fork & spoon. 

nice but I like dave ramseys creedo: pay cash and be done w it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk, its either this or smoke signals!

I got the idea off instructables here http://www.instructables.com/id/223-Survival-Whistle/ . I have since improved that a bit. I have been using leadless solder and JB Welding the 22LR into the 5.56 case neck. I did away with the lanyard part and drilled the primer and JB Welded a cotter key in. This is the basic flow of how I have made them, and the last is I have been playing around with acid etching them.

When a baby  :poop: 's in it's diaper its a guarantee that it will still get lots of Huggies from a mom & dad with plenty of Luv's in her heart.   When an old person  :poop: 's their pants, it all Depends on who is listed in their Last Will and Testament.  

And you are TOTALLY missing the point of the conversation. Over and over. You have a CHOICE when it comes to credit. You can choose to extend yourself and get into debt. Or you can be a millionaire (my parents) and get tons of free stuff at no expense to you, simply for using plastic instead of carrying around $15k in cash all the time. (I have a funny story of Dad paying for a pair of jetskis in small bills because the salesman pissed him off. Took dude almost 2 hrs to count it all, haha!) Sure, you don't NEED a credit card to pay for airplane tickets. You can pay in cash or check. Some folks, who are smart enough to realize and use the advantages afforded to them at no cost simply don't have to pay for them. At. All. Before GM put low limits on their cash rebates towards vehicles, my Dad regularly got anywhere from another $3k-7k off the new Tahoe he bought with cash every 2 years, simply for using a GM card for his business expenses. He did not buy things he shouldn't have because he had a credit card, he simply used that instead of cash or check whenever he gassed up work vehicles, bought tools or meals. He needed gas, tools, and food regardless of the payment method. You can enjoy an aversion to credit, but facts are facts. You keep saying that if you use a credit card you are paying interest. Do you understand that that is not necessarily true? If I buy $1k worth of stuff, and then pay my card off in full within the usual 20-30 days from the statement date, I only pay them the $1k. Nothing more. That is the key to the whole mystery. As for the 20% downpayment for a house: congrats! That's great! Very happy you had the ability to do that! When my wife and I bought our house one year after college, we did not have almost $40k in the bank for a down payment. What we did have were excellent credit histories and solid jobs at the time. We got a rate just one quarter of one percent over prime. An excellent rate no matter your financial situation. As rates came down we refinanced again, and now to a 15 year loan and are shaving quite a bit off the back of that as well. Our cars are also paid for. The breakdown in this logic that credit causes debt is just as blatant as the sad, pathetic, and just plain stupid idea that Moms Demand Action and their ilk push... they say guns cause crime, and if we remove guns from people, crime will stop. The FBI proves that to be a lie. It is generally the IMPROPER USE of guns by people who should not have them in the first place that causes nearly all firearm crime. Similarly it is the IMPROPER USE of credit by people who are ill-equipped to handle the responsibility or by people who just shouldn't have it at all that gets people in debt. (Housing crisis, anyone?) Greed, instant gratification, sometimes a feeling of hopelessness and a lack of understanding of compound interest are the problems. Not available credit. Credit cards are tools just like firearms, hammers, and cars. Making mistakes with any of them can cost you. I won't call anyone a fool who properly uses a hammer.

  When you build, just have a safe room added. Call it a panic room for the construction crew. Or even a tornado room.  They don't need to know either.   If I ever get out of here and build, not likely, I will have one added.

I kept a gunsafe in my first house's garage for years w/o any problems, The goldenrod in the safe kept everythin rust free. But my garage door didn't face the roadway either. There are things you can do to make the gunsafe less visable such as workbences and cabinets in front of it obstructing the view. I also stacked plastic storage boxes on top of the safe and had a large picture leaning on the safe. It detracted attention. But the biggest thing is don't bring all the neighbors over to show off the safe, or your newest guns because people talk and word spreads.

Brownells has almost everything you'll need.  Put in a good aftermarket trigger kit or modify the stock one and you'll be good to go. 

My wife owns a Beretta AL391 Urika. I don't fancy semi autos, and am not an authority on them, but this is a really nice,light, and reliable shotgun. Definitely worth a look if it's in your price range.

Check out the Stoeger M3020. Lots of guys are using the M3000, including myself, for 3 gun. It is a very reliable auto loader.

I have one son Brayden Lee he is 3 years old i hope it is a long time till i have grandkid's

I have 2 kids in medical school.  I'm broke.

Congratulations and shes a beauty........... :up:  :up:    As far as the names you think you would like such as Pawpaw or Peepaw. None of that stuff works. Take it from a guy that knows. I have 7 grandchildren and each of them gave me a different pet name, beginning with Peep paw and then it went to Pawpaw, Ganpaw, Grandpaw, Gramps, Mepaw and last one now calls me Grandfather and he is now 8. Came late in life to my son and his wife. Their other two boys are 24 and 22 and both have daughters or their own.

I have ordered quite a bit from CDNN, and been very happy with the products and service from them. Shipping has been reasonable, and delivery times have been usually 2-5 days.    I recommend them to friends regularly, and not a complaint yet.

  Put extended buffer tube and Sig brace on it -- and don't invite Max Kingery along on the hunt. :)   - OS

Congratulations! !

Nice, the 1,000 ways to dress up your SKS.  Guns are really mans version of Barbie dolls, we can dress them anyway we want. :up:

Assuming patience and desire to save real money, try this place.  Looks like Glock OEM mags are <$20 each, and likely if you buy over $100, probably free shipping.  My guess you order today, < 1 week you will have them.  Otherwise I say you will pay mid $20 + tax at best from a storefront store.   http://www.cdnnsports.com/magazines.html?SID=e0gjqchk0al9oadsul141co8r2&brand=361

Here is what i got to try and find on opening morning

I've learned a lot of stuff from my many years dealing with law enforcement.    I've tried to be confrontational (when I was younger) and that has never worked out in my favor.   I have found that just being honest and forthcoming can go a long way on something like a simple citation that the officer has discretion to overlook .   If it's something more that a simple citation, keep your mouth shut. You don't have to be confrontational but just shut up.   Years ago (when I was 16) I got confronted by the Game Warden for spotlighting deer. All I had done was shine the truck headlights into a field of deer. At the time, I didn't know it was illegal so I spilled the beans to the Warden thinking he would turn me loose after finding out I didn't have a gun or a spotlight. Come to find out the Warden had zero evidence other than a concerned citizen thought he saw me doing it (but wasn't sure) until I voluntarily gave him all the evidence he needed to issue a court summons. Ended up having to go to court and got off with nothing more than a stern talking to from the judge but I learned to keep my mouth shut in the future.   A lawyer told me one time "If you are being implicated in a crime,the cops already know what they know and there is nothing you can say to change that. By talking, the only possible outcome is you hurting yourself".  

It's not Crisco.  It's obviously a vegetable based oil because they clearly state that it's NOT petroleum based and is bio-safe.  If it were Crisco, Fireclean would be facing serious patent issues submitting someone else's product as theirs and calling it something else.   The infrared spectrography  analysis also does not show a 100% match between the two.  Further, that type of testing is not ideal for determining precisely what is in a product and at what volumes.  Again, Fireclean is obviously a vegetable based oil product however the exact formulation could be significantly different between Crisco, Wesson, Fireclean, FP10, etc.   Regardless of all of this, it's pretty clear that it works well.  I've been a fan of Weaponshield for almost 10 years now but recently tried Fireclean on a few handguns and it cleans up easier than anything I've ever seen before.

Congrats!

I'm not too far from your situation 10ring, but I dig credit cards for the perks. I get basically 5% back with Academy's card when I shop there. My Mom hasn't paid for an airline ticket since before I got my driver's license, and has never paid interest. She flies 3-4 round trips per year. There was one month, when my Grandpa was very sick/died that she forgot to pay her CC on time. They waived the interest and late fee for her. It's fine not to take advantage of the benefits available to you, but I don't begrudge anyone smart enough to leverage things in their favor, either. :-)

Congratulations let the spoiling begin you should have a ready suply of candy at hand all the time my dad aka pawpaw say if you send a kid home that is not on a sugar high you have failed as a grandpaw

Bound to be half truths based on some admin suggestion at best; for one thing, all those states would have to amend state law to do it.   edit:   Quick search reveals this site is mostly half truth/satire/hoax type place period.   - OS

Funny how that is worked out!!!!!   I got the title of PeePaw!!

What they said, get a "no fee" card or two and pay the balance in full every time without fail. It's not a credit card, it's a convenience card. As in, you have the cash, just not on your person. I've had the same credit card for 25 years and have never paid a penny in interest. Get all your power, water, phone, TV, Internet, etc. all in your name, and pay the bills on time every month.

Looks like someone smashed it in a waffle iron.

Payment sent for #3 Thanks!

  As long as it is a two way street, I agree.  What's funny about this board is it seems everyone thinks they are the victim.  Those who are religious think those who are not aren't respecting their religious beliefs and those who aren't religious feel like they also aren't respected for their choice to not believe.     It isn't just about religion.  The same can be said about the political threads.     In the end, people just need to learn when to stop and simply say, let's agree to disagree and move on.  It's actually pretty simple.

  I think that the Politics and General Chat sections are good for what they do, and that is foster a sense of community among our more "dedicated" members.  There is also a lot of value in the diversity of opinion and train of thought from the members on very relevant topics, that I enjoy very much, even if I don't always agree with what's said.   For me at least, there is only so much gun related to talk about, and there isn't as much new topic material as current events can bring in.  It also let's me get to know members (as best you can from an online interaction) far better than talking about a single topic.       For my money, it's quite clear that you guys are more than willing to let people have warnings, and give them the time to adjust their behavior as needed.

SINCE IT WAS SUCH A CRAPPY DAY I SAT IN MY RECLINER AND STARTED THINKING ABOUT LIFE AND CAME TO REALIZE THAT,   AS I HAVE GROWN OLDER I'VE LEARNED THAT PLEASING EVERYONE IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT PISSING EVERYONE OFF IS A PIECE OF CAKE.   CONDOMS DON'T GUARANTEE SAFE SEX ANYMORE, A FRIEND OF MINE WAS WEARING ONE WHEN HE WAS SHOT BY THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND.   LANCE ARMSTRONG….I THINK IT IS JUST TERRIBLE AND DISGUSTING HOW EVERYONE HAS TREATED LANCE ARMSTRONG, ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT HE ACHIEVED, WINNING 7 TOUR DE FRANCE RACES, WHILE ON DRUGS. HELL, WHEN I WAS ON DRUGS, I COULDN'T EVEN FIND MY BIKE.   DRIVE BY….SOME ONE BROKE INTO MY HOUSE LAST WEEK. THEY DIDN'T TAKE MY TV, JUST THE REMOTE.  NOW THEY DRIVE BY AND CHANGE THE CHANNELS ON IT. THE SICK BASTARDS!!!   THE AGONY OF AGING….ON THE MORNING THAT DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDED I STOPPED IN TO VISIT MY AGING FRIEND. HE WAS BUSY COVERING HIS PENIS WITH BLACK SHOE POLISH. I SAID TO HIM, "YOU BETTER GET YOUR HEARING CHECKED - YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TURN YOUR CLOCK BACK".   VIDEO SCAM….JUST GOT SCAMMED OUT OF $25. I BOUGHT A TIGER WOODS DVD ENTITLED "MY FAVORITE 18 HOLES". TURNS OUT IT'S ALL ABOUT GOLF. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY! PASS THIS ON SO OTHERS DON'T GET SCAMMED.   PREGNANT PROSTITUTE…DOCTOR ASKS A PREGNANT PROSTITUTE, "DO YOU KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS?" HEY DUMB ASS, SHE REPLIED, IF YOU ATE A CAN OF BEANS WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH ONE MADE YOU FART  ????.

Want to make some scratch? Cheese? Coin? Loot? Dollar bills? Ever fancy yourself a bounty hunter? :) Websites like TGO need advertisers to stay afloat, let alone grow bigger and better and make it possible to do cooler things. To date we've been fortunate -- blessed even -- to have our advertisers find us. We've never had to go hunting for them, and honestly I've never really wanted to. I just don't like selling. I'm not a "sales guy" and I hate cold-calling. But recently I had a member approach me with a prospective advertiser and asked if I'd hook them up. So I did. And I also felt like I owed that member something in return... so I did something for that person too. Which brought to mind an idea: Pretty much everyone here has their list of favorite shops to do business with. But how many of those favorite shops support your favorite local forum by advertising with us? All of them? Some of them? None of them? Could you maybe help us by convincing them to sign on with us? Because if you can, and they tell me that YOU are the reason they signed on as an advertiser, I'll gladly kick a commission payment your way. :) So, what's the motivation? I'll make no bones about this: I'd like to eventually quit working for the man Monday - Friday and make TGO something of a full time job. I'd love nothing more than to work on new features, new content, videos, blogs, reviews, etc. all for the TGO community. But in order for that to happen, we need more advertisers and I'd be glad to share some of our increased success with anyone who helps get us there. If you are instrumental in helping bring a new advertiser on board, I owe you a debt of gratitude and I'd like to put some money back in your pocket to say thanks. Let's talk! For details, contact me privately.
