  1.   Thanks for that tip.  I have a 10 gallon now that I've had for about a year and a half containing 3 fancy goldfish.  They have really outgrown the tank and I'm thinking about just moving them to the bigger tank.  That said.  I've always had a problem with algae in that tank.  I've scrubbed and used aglicide but it always comes back with a vengeance.   Would it be a bad idea to introduce gravel from the old tank to the new tank with that algae in it?  I would like to do everything I can to keep it out of the new tank.  I can't imagine how hard that thing would be to clean.
  2. At the same time I made sure that no one stole our couch.  Just thought I'd see what it's like to be part of the "other half" for a day. 
  3. That would be cool to have a fish that eats other fish.  That's a little more exciting than a bunch of guppies. 
  4. Hey all, I've had tanks before but never anything bigger than 20 gallon.  I ran across a steal on a 55 gallon the other night and picked it up.  Trying to do a little research, I still don't even know what I to put in it.  I'm leaning towards goldfish or something that is big and aggressive.  I'd like to not use a tank heater.  So what do you have? 
  5. HVAC guy finished up putting a new system in our house this morning, I spent the day testing it. 
  6. We had a thread similair to tis at one time but I'd say we are a bunch of food lovin fools around here so I don't think another one will hurt.    Maryville-  T.C. Grill, and the infamous Shiloh Brew and Chew.  Knoxville- Sweet Pea's BBQ
  7. Although I'd say it's not the smartest thing to do.  I honestly don't even see why this is news.  The man broke no laws.  Probably treading on Kwik territory here but as long as law abiding citizens are being detained I think we have a problem.   Link:  http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/gallatin/2014/09/02/man-shotgun-detained-near-sumner-county-courthouse/14997313/   Story:   
  8. I agree with you.  I'm not saying it's right.  That was just the explanation I was given when I asked why it was okay for customers to carry but I couldn't have a gun in my vehicle.
  9. Awfully harsh and judgmental thing to say about a young man trying to secure employment.    I know when I worked at Walmart and Sears they both had the same policy and I broke them daily at each store I just didn't tell anyone.  The policy isn't in place because the business is anti.  They put the policy in place because it is a liability to the company if an employee was ever to shoot a customer be it accidentally, on purpose, or while taking down an active shooter.  The employee, in the eyes of the courts is an agent of the company so it sets the company up for an easy lawsuit. 
  10. I think it's amusing that there is a local pro gun group that routinely has meetings of 100+ members and the Daily Times will not give them any coverage.  Yet DMA has 12 fat aces show up for a cook out requiring 1 and a half packs of hotdogs and it warrants a story.  The Daily Times has always sucked and been horrible at reporting anything, and likely always will. 
  11. Now my Comcast is acting funny.  running around .1 Mbps.
  12. So glad I have Comcast.  Yup, never thought that I'd say that.

    It's Hot

    It has worked wonders for me.  I went camping a couple of months ago, out it all over myself Friday evening, didn't reapply or shower until Sunday and didn't have any bites.  I used to have to apply bug spray daily at my old job and started using the SSS because I didn't want to put deet on my skin everyday.  I guess nothing is going to work on everyone though.

    It's Hot

    I just went out and tried to pick the garden, okra mostly, because I have a bunch of it and if you don't pick okra approximately every two hours it gets about a foot long.  So I'm wearing a long sleeve tshirt because if I don't I return from the okra fields looking like I've been rolling around in concertina wire.  I started picking okra, and what I thought were crows with fangs, but turned out to be mosquitoes, started attacking me.  I didn't know humans could loose that much blood so quickly and survive.  I came in and sprayed my legs in Skin So Soft, I've never seen a mosquito anywhere around me while wearing SSS, because not even mosquitoes can stand the smell of it,  but that only slowed them down a little bit.  After getting the okra picked I came back inside and rehydrated and replenished my blood supply with Natural Light.  Currently I'm hiding inside with the AC and a ceiling fan but soon I will have to venture back outside because a little while ago I shoved a can of beer up a chickens butt and that's on the grill now. 
  15. Anyone have any thoughts on the Sub 2000 versus the Hi Point carbine?  I've been eying the Hi Point for a while.  Like many of you I think these types of guns are cool but not $600 cool.     
  16. Caught the satire at the first sentence.  One of these days when I have some extra cash I might get Ebay certified to carry as well.
  17. I can't imagine a scenario at a place like the Wilson County fair where you could safely use a firearm to defend yourself.  That said, years ago I used to compete in the trap and skeet competitions held there every year.
  18. If you want her take her.  You will be doing her and probably the "owners" a favor.
  19. New phone came in the mail today.  Wasn't supposed to get here until at least Monday.  Ordered it on Friday, figuring in the weekend there that's pretty decent shipping time.  Although it is a used phone it looks to be in perfect condition.  About to get activated and all that mess.  So far so good.  I'll give a report on Ting once I've used it for a couple of days.
  20. Good to hear this I grew up in MJ and when I was coming up a typical interaction with MJPD consisted of "You are being pulled over for being 16" it was common for them to use 2 or 3 cars to pull a kid over and harass them for nothing.  I've been held at gun point by MJPD twice for doing nothing wrong and exactly what they said.  After I got out of college I wanted to be a police officer, MJ was paying well but I refused to have anything to do with a department that treated people that way.  I sincerely hope that they have turned themselves around. 
  21. I was with Verizon from 2002-2011.  Their coverage is second to none, as is their bill.  I was paying $105 a month for one smart phone.  I had problems on a near monthly basis with my bill and would have to spend about 20 minutes each month getting it straightened out.  When I cancelled my service I told them that I was just not going to pay that much for a phone anymore, I was not countered with any kind of offer to lower my bill.  Plus I don't want to be in a contract. 
  22. I think it will work well for me.  I would like to have the ability to look something up and check weather when need be.  My current Tracfone was working great and 180 minutes were getting me through about 3 months so that cam out to about $7 per month.  This past month I used up 150 minutes.  Still probably pales in comparison to what most people use.  If Ting works well I think it will be great, last time I had a smart phone it was with Verizon and I was paying out $100 a month for it.  No desire to go back to that. 
  23. While shopping and doing my research it seems very common for companies to advertise "Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data" then the fine print will say "up to 500mb data."  I'm not sure how they are able to advertise 500mb of data as unlimited.  Just beware when doing your own shopping and read the fine print.
  24. Well I just ordered a a HTC EVO 4G through Ting.  Looks like a decent deal.  Got the phone for $80 shipped and I get a $25 credit as well.  Thanks for the info CZ9mm, this was just what I was looking for.
