I bought my daughter one last month. She was so excited. Of course she is eight, so you're starting earlier. Either way, a new shooter is a new shooter. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

[/quote]I've heard eyewitness accounts of black racers chasing people. They have changed directions (heading back towards the way they came) and the snake did too. P.s. I like snakes.....I'm just relaying a story for discussion :) Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

My grandfather underwent a leg amputation a couple Years before he passed. The surgery took a turn for the worse and he died. They worked on him for several minutes before the doctor said he was gone. About 30 seconds later he started moving about (fighting); the doctors began CPR. He died again and again the same thing happened. This time he came back to life. He never would say much about it but he assured us that Jesus had sent him back. In 2006 he passed on. Days before he did, he was talking to his father who had been dead long before I was ever born. He had come to give him an escort home. These stories are the absolute truth and science can neither prove or disprove them. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing me to share mine. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

This knife is most likely mid 50's It is also most likely pretty valuable! Hold on to this knife! Also It was probably made by Case cutlery Alcas is at the time was Case and Alcoa combined!![/quote]it does! Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

[quote name="Murgatroy" post="1108147" timestamp="1391904737"]My wife is a yankee, I am not. Her family is Slovakian, she is only second generation American. I often tease her and call her Russian, making the stereotype that all of those Eastern European countries are the same. She doesn't like it, but she tolerates it. She cooks food that there ain't no way on god'g green earth you are gonna get a country boy to eat. I haven't had soup beans in ten years. A month ago she tells me she is making me a mess of soup beans. Wish she would have told me that yankees make them with navy beans. And then they smash them all. I cried. On New Years, she cooks kielbasa and kraut, and expects me to eat them, because back in Russia, I mean the now nonexistant former Soviet Bloc country, that is what they ate on New Year. I don't know about you, but I eat collard greens, hog jowl and black eyed peas. Now, the point I am making is a simple one, and something that a lot of folks are missing here, but I am pleased to see that just as many are getting it. The United States of America is a nation that was founded by folks from everywhere. There are few distinctly 'American Traditions' because they are all heirlooms from nations that our ancestors left. Demanding that all American's adhere to 'American Culture' is an ignorant statement. Please note I said ignorant, not stupid, please understand I am stating that one should do more research, not that one is foolish. American Culture, much like Americans are a mish mash of a million different flavors. Even our language and street slang is a mixture of languages. English itself is a blend of Germanic, Norse and French languages. I am proud to be an American, and I am proud of my heritage. To think that because someone has different political or religious views, or speaks a different first language that they can't possibly love America as much as you is the most childish thing I have ever heard. I would like to end this and ask how many of you have attempted to pick up a second language? Why? Why not? I have a large working Spanish vocabulary, but I would hesitate to even say I could converse. It is hard, and I applaud ANYONE who is attempting to learn a second language.[/quote]well said. I speak three languages myself; English (primary), Spanish, and Tuscarora (my native language). Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Made in Alcoa, American made pocket knife. My great grandfather was a blacksmith and went to work for Alcoa steel . I don't know much about this knife, but it means a lot to me. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

[quote name="Mark@Sea" post="1108133" timestamp="1391901708"]Believe it or not, obsidian makes for one of the sharpest blades available. Sharper than the finest straight razor. I read once that obsidian scalpels were preferred for eye surgery before lasers came along.[/quote]that's true. These things are scary sharp. Under a microscope the edge of a obsidian scalpel is smooth; a steel one is jagged. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

[quote name="peejman" post="1108115" timestamp="1391899167"]Cool. How did you form the obsidian?[/quote]well....I didn't. A 13 year old boy with a passion for knapping made them. I bought them from him. He used his profits to feed a college fund. He is really good too. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

[quote name="RobertNashville" post="1108102" timestamp="1391898083"]I am very accepting of those who come here with a desire for freedom, follow the rules, and who want to become "Americans". I am very unaccepting of those who come here by breaking the rules and who simply want to bring their culture with them rather than become part of the "American culture" or who want to "remake" our culture into their own. My main problem with what Coca-Cola did with this commercial is that I'm not sure which of those two they are celebrating - if it is the former that is fine but if it is the latter it is not fine.[/quote]no way to know unless they say. So I give them the benefit of the doubt. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee
