Well, I went up to Walgreens today and told them that they need to put it back in their inventory. I was not going on any medication that (MY ) doctor has not ran tests on first and then handed me a written prescription for me to bring to you. The Pharmacist seemed a little pi$$ed. I guess she felt I did not trust her and she guessed correctly if that is what she thought. I have been doing business with them since I moved here almost 19 years ago but there is a CVS right across the street that I'm sure would love to have my business. I go see my doctor next month and we will get this all straightened out then..............

Insurance company isn't going to have access to your medical records to know what your cholesterol levels are, they will only see the charges submitted for the tests performed... not the results. HIPAA. I would assume it's just a paperwork mishap of some sorts, maybe an old medicine that was refilled or someone just clicked on the wrong name... could be a million things, but I doubt it is a conspiracy of sorts and your insurance company can not prescribe medications.

Insurance companies do not prescribe medicine. They pay their limit based on the formulary or possibly recommend a substitute at the most. Strange things are afoot here.

That is pretty much it. He'll also want a pen and note pad for the lecture portion. My advice also (having taken it in August myself) is to hydrate well BEFORE you go to the class and drink lots of water and gator aid each day. It can be VERY hot and humid there in August. He definitely will have enough to worry with knocking down targets without having to fight dehydration too. Hmmmmm next week eh? He'll be there for the eclipse....that's pretty cool an eclipse at Rogers. That will make for an interesting time.

Even more evidence that charcoal is the way to go.

Yes but every vehicle is designed to stop it from being crushed from the outside, not expanded from the inside. I bet they are going to be saying "what" to everything said to them for a while. I cannot imagine the amount of ringing their ears are doing right now.

Nice Ruger, here is my Heritage and a HR 9 shot made in 1953, shoots like a dream. Yall with a Heritage be careful with the 22 mags, frame has been known to crack.

I had one of these my dad bought me when I was a kid. He got rid of it for some reason and I always wanted another because it was such a fun little pistol to shoot. Finally picked up another yesterday. Stainless Ruger 22LR/22WMR New Model Single Six: Who else likes these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like my gen4 G20. I find it pretty comfortable to shoot with underwood 200gn HC and accurate. I've been meaning to take a look at the 29 some day to see how it compares in size to the 19. Nice gun!

Bersa, you can have the tank pressure tested if you ever want to fill it again. If it passes, the tester will stamp a new date into the metal. It's sometimes cheaper than buying a new tank, but of course that's only true if it passes. If it fails, you'll pay for the test and a new tank. For the smaller tanks, it's usually cheaper to get a new one.

My bet is one of the dragons will ultimately make the confirmation. The first time he hops on a dragon and flies will pretty much make the counter argument moot ...

In a rim fire.... nothing makes bad fruit fly apart better than a 17HMR. Like an A bomb inside a tasteless wally world orange

An insurance company would not have done that unless they had a prescription from a doctor. They are under to much regulation to try and pull a scam like this. I bet it will turn out to be a careless paperwork mix up or something like that.

I turn my gas grill off the same way. Of course, since I set up a sort of 'pioneer kitchen' in the yard I generally do my outdoor cooking/grilling over wood. I think the cylinder for my gas grill has been empty for about two years, now. I need to get it filled or exchange it just because gas grill cooking is so convenient. I have to replace the grids before I can use it again, anyhow.

I was smiling from ear to ear when I received that phone call! The timing was perfect because they increased the price on the FM VEPR rifles by $200 the following week. Did you purchase it locally or online? You inspired me to place a factory folding VEPR 12 on layaway this morning! I had one when they initially released, sold it to purchase a second home, and I have wanted one ever since.

Whenever I get mine filled I drive with the windows down regardless of the weather. There is no way I am going to let my vehicle fill up with propane if the canister is leaking.

I'm not even going to post what I did even though they were not horrendous scores. You just can't win much at a World Championship by shooting your average even if it does have a 9 on the front of it. But like last year my son out shot me again and did manage to win a shoot off to be the yardage champion in the Kreighoff 100 preliminary handicap event. There are people that have been shooting at the Grand American for 40 years and have yet to win a trophy.

Nice shooting. That definitely shows time and hard work. A shout out for your folks also. I know first hand what it takes to support a youth shooter Lots or windshield time and $$ Looks like you had a better day than I on Saturday. My excuse was the wind and crazy light and I am sticking to it The only thing I brought home was a bunch of empty hulls and a couple of Tshirts.

Kinda like Novas not selling in Mexico. "No Va" in Spanish is "not going". Gives a bad impression. That had never jumped out at me about KIA though. Maybe they are based in South Korea, but really run by North Korea and they set that up as a joke a long time ago. Or this gas grill story is just a cover up for the fact that North Korea has implanted bombs in all KIA vehicles to be used as a first attack on the US. Grab your tin foil hats boys. Maybe I should cut back on my caffeine today. LOL

Not a chance.

Picked this up at SMKW yesterday

I have been. Here is the review I posted here after I got back...... I spent last week in the mountains of Ellijay Georgia at the Rogers Shooting School (http://www.rogersshootingschool.com/). For those not familiar with the school it is owned and run by Bill Rogers, former FBI agent, inventor ( Safariland duty holster ALS and SLS and GLS locks, Wilson/Rogers 1911 mags, Rogers Super Stock, etc) and world class shooter who won a metric ton of matches in the 80s and 90s and beyond. In fact I was recently flipping through an old issue of Soldier of Fortune from 1986 looking at an article about the SOF 3 Gun Match and lo and behold but who was 2nd over all? Bill Rogers....yep...that Bill Rogers. The class normally runs a week starting on Sunday evening and finishing up on Friday afternoon. The class normally runs $1200 for the week and 2500 rounds of ammo. This is quite an investment in time , money , and ammo for most people. But the deal of the century might be the way I did it . I took it as the 3 day Rogers Reactive Steel Course offered through my friend Ronnie Dodd's company Dodd and Associates (http://www.doddtraining.com/). This class runs Wednesday night through Saturday afternoon . Ronnie is also the chief instructor at Rogers and that is how he is able to offer the 3 day class using the Rogers facilities and the Rogers assistant instructors. During the class I stayed in the Rogers Lodge ( $75 for the class) and Bill Rogers himself made an appearance at the class so it was pretty much as close to the 5 day class experience as the 3 day class could be. Of course there is no free lunch, (well....actually lunch is included in the class) and you cannot fit 5 days into 3 so you will get 4 runs on the test instead of the normal 6 and you will only shoot 1500 rounds for the class instead of the normal 2500 and no Thursday night low light shoot like in the 5 day class. At Rogers they teach what they call Reactive Shooting. That is shooting within human reaction time. It takes someone .25 of a second to observe and a .25 to respond if there is no other decision making involved. So a simple "see it , point the gun at it and shoot it" would be a half second. The target system used at the school consists of 8" plates that appear and disappear in very short time increments. They range in distance from 7 yards to 9 yards to 10 yards to 15 to 19 yards. One of the first drills we shoot is a shot in one half second at a 7 yard target. We then shoot 2 targets in 1 second, and then 3 targets in 1.5 seconds. The drills don't get any easier either. The practice is all geared toward the test which you shoot each day to determine your score and class ranking. Each person shoots about 500 rounds per day. This can seem daunting to some , especially guys shooting heavier caliber guns. Guys who show up with .45s often switch to 9mm in short order. One gentleman in our class shot his 1911 .45 on day one and promptly switched to his 9mm 1911 for the rest of the class. Of course some Mil and LE units that come to class with bigger caliber duty weapons (think SEALs, Delta, Marine Recon and FBI HRT, etc). You see Rogers is not the typical "Firearm safety class" it is a doctorate level test of marksmanship. You either sink or swim . You either acclimate to the speed of the targets and force yourself to see the sights and make the hits or you miss a lot and watch plates disappear. The targets do not care that you are shooting with 2 hands or with one or with your strong or your weak hand. The time frames are all the same. After all, the bad guys won't take it easy on you if you are injured and having to shoot with one hand...... There is not much downtime in the class. You are either loading magazines, shooting drills, hydrating, watching the instructors demonstrate drills, or eating lunch. Even during lunch the target system runs so that if you choose to you can hurry up and eat lunch and then get some dry practice in. And every little bit helps while preparing for the test. The instructors are there always offering constructive suggestions, and offering encouragement. And as opposed to some other schools, all the instructors can shoot at a high level. They have to in order to demonstrate the drills. At the end of each day you shoot the test. It is an 9 stage 125 round course of fire. The first stage is 3 rounds on 3 different targets from the extended low ready position in 1.5 seconds. The 2nd is from the ready engaging 4 plates in near to far order in 2 seconds. And it just gets more difficult from there. Number 8 can cause nightmares as it is 23 plates in 3 waves all shot weak handed with 2 weak hand only reloads thrown in....all in 23 seconds. Not exactly for the faint of heart. There is a reason that not many people clean the test. In fact only 4 people have ever shot the test with a perfect 125. Bill Rogers, Rob Leatham, Manny Bragg and Gabe White have shot a perfect 125. As mentioned earlier your scores count toward what certificate you graduate with. Score less than 70 on the test and you do not pass. Pass the test with 70 points and you get a Basic Certificate. Pass with a 90 and you get an Intermediate certificate. Pass with 110 or more and you graduate Advanced. They say less than 5% pass at the Advanced level and only those 4 guys have ever cleaned it. Some of my peers in the shooting and training industry who have already been had been waiting for a long time for me to finally make the pilgrimage to Rogers. Unfortunately classes at Rogers usually fill up and they are not always offered when I am free. I stay busy between my day job, teaching and match shooting. So when the opportunity hit to do the the 3 day class in between teaching my own classes and shooting matches I was glad to finally get to attend this class. As to my performance? Well I didn't do as well as I would have liked, but then again, only 4 guys ever have. I ended up graduating Advanced with a 115 score and the coveted red pin for the Top Shooter in the class. If you get the chance to go to the full 5 day class that would be great, but if time, and money are an issue then take a serious look at the three day class run through Dodd and Associates. You'll be glad you did.

I see this as a "Why you should quit smoking" ad.

Putting the duh in Floriduh.

Hey Honey, what's that rotten egg smell? i don't know...let me light a match so I can see.

I worked on these off and on for 10 years and it's a testament to the durability of these wonderful birds. I retired in 92.

That + a testament to bad assery of an A10. I can't believe they keep trying to get rid of the damn things... Upgrading these beasts would be much cheaper than designing a new one from scratch - and then you get into the issue of not knowing if the new aircraft will even be worth a dang. I say put more powerful engines on them, lighten the load and add more ammo

Yes, it will. I can tell you, however, that Hornady Critical Defense does slightly better out of my 6.5 inch Heritage. The Gold Dot is certainly no slouch. In my unscientific gallon water jug test Gold Dot kind of over expanded a little out of the Heritage - in other words the petals bent back far enough that it reduced in size, again, after expanding but still does well. Out of the longer barrel the Gold Dot dumped a lot of energy early and very impressively split the first jug in line. The Gold Dots kick the crap out of the performance of the Hornady out of my 1 5/8 inch barreled NAA mini revolver, however. The Hornady was actually very disappointing out of the NAA - not much expansion and seemed to barely get into the third jug. The Gold Dot out of the NAA looked almost identical to the picture of the expanded round on the box, went through three gallon jugs, poked a hole in the face of a fourth, rebounded and was found in the third. It wouldn't be my first choice but I honestly would not in any way feel 'unarmed' even against a two-legged critter with a reliable handgun loaded with those Gold Dots.

Nice. I had a blue convertible I got in 6th or 7th grade. Don't recall the barrel length because for some reason Ruger SA's come in bizzare lengths. It was in the neighborhood of 6". Sold it and bought a Mark II bull barrel just out of college. Still have that and it's one of my favorites. Now I have two Bearcats. Those are a hoot.

Got mine!

Back when I was just a kid of age 13 and gun laws were no where near what they are today I bought a Colt 22 cal single action 6. Blue with 5 inch barrel and bone handles and paid $39.00 for it and bought and fast draw cowboy type holster out fit for it with leg tie down and all. My hunting buddy bought a Ruger single 6 with a 7.5 inch barrel and also the holster sit up and we practiced shootng them till we were god enough to wear them for hunting rabbits with them. We also carried shotguns and had beagles to hunt with. If we got a rabbit sitting tight one of us that had the best shot would use to pistol to shoot and save digging out all the lead shot before cooking them. On most days we would get at least 3 or 4 with the pistols. I had the gun till I went in service and when I came home my baby brother had laid claim to it so I let him have it. I also had a Heritage Rough Rider with interchangable cylinders and could shoot 22 lr or 22 Mags. Son in law was having varmint issues with his chicken house and he has it and has been using it for about 5 years now so I guess he has claimed it as his own. One of these days I will give him a bill for it..............LMAO

I just bought a Vepr 12. Factory built with the folder that actually folds instead of one that is welded open. Get them while you can because they are going fast.

you can set my duck/goose hunting blind out. Ducks and geese traditionally avoid it like the plague

Well, it's sort of the first part of the last season. HBO decided to do two mini-seasons of 7 episodes each to ensure they could get everything in while having enough time for post production, CGI, and what not. Kind of how Mad Men finished it's run, just a lot more logistics behind it. I'm cautiously optimistic they don't screw this up. The two key players behind the scenes (those guys you see talking about the episode after it) have done a great job to date. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.
