[quote name="greenego" post="1147193" timestamp="1399591032"]Got mine also. I had a question about address. We are planning on moving in June or July. How much hassle is it to change your address?[/quote] Not a big deal. Do it online in 5 minutes. I think my permit address is about 3 or 4 addresses ago on the card but current in the system.

Ask the ltl for lift gate service. Most offer it. Also I have picked up from Conway terminals as well. They usually have a fork truck to load you with. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Expenses: Shots 6,9,12 weeks again at a year and every 3 years after that. Food - your biggest expense. Stay away from foods with corn, wheat, and/or soy. I use 4Health Grain Free from tractor supply ($35 for 30lbs) Crate - buy one large enough for her as an adult and use the divider in it. Training - start NOW. Don't ever stop. I suggest starting with a Petsmart puppy class. Once obedience training is finished you should then sink a few more thousand into training her for a hunting dog. Most bird dogs are not "naturals" I will disagree partially with the wait. If you are diligent with your routine and training classes you will be fine. You can over exercise a puppy under 18 months and cause long term issues. A note on spaying - if you can wait until she is over 2 years old it is better for her development. At the same time if you can't keep her or him from breeding then you should own the dog anyway. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Band aids, super glue, duct tape, and Benadryl. What else could you need? Seriously carry what you know how to use. My kit contains: Gauze Tape Band aids Para cord 800mg ibuprofen (about 2 years expired) Benadryl Gloves Hand sanitizer A multi tool Knife Nail clippers Lighter Might be a few other things floating in the bottom but that is what I carry everyday. I'm not medically trained so anything that requires more expertise doesn't have a place in my bag. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="bersaguy" post="1143771" timestamp="1398712680"]Like I have said many times in the past. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I figure if it makes me happy I go with it........... :up: :up:[/quote] If you spend $100 on that first Wednesday you save $5 If you spend $25 on each of 4 Wednesdays you save $1.25 each time = $5 If it was 20% you would save $5 each Wednesday and $20 over the month.

Many times they are not exactly stolen. The person steals a product, returns it for store credit (gift card), and then sells the gift card. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I'm going to piggy back a few questions on this thread. Is there somewhere that explains to a novice the terms used for ARs? I really couldn't tell the difference between a carbine and piston, what's a charging handle for and so on? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Check out your nearest tractor supply. They should have a clinic once a month. Shots will cost you less than $20. For the spay, call the humane society and ask for the location of a low cost clinic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Don't over think this. Hide in plain site... Aka the walmart parking lot and go inside for an hour or so. The windows are tinted and parking it on the outer edge of the lot wouldn't draw unneeded attention. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I'm a little confused? As someone who deals with customers everyday I understand you frustration. On the other hand you went back to the dealer and the made everything right and apologized for the inconvenience. Were you expecting a refund of your repair, the tech fired, and the shop closed down? It really gets under my skin when a mistake is made and the customer is expecting blood for it. I really see no complaint to be had here and feel that you are over reacting.

The area around the aquarium is posted on one end. Just like the area along the river that only has a posting in the middle near the playground. It makes it nearly impossible to know if you are in an off limits area or not. Fortunately it seems that Chattanooga pd is not real interested in enforcing it unless someone makes a point of being an ass. This is according to a few officers I've spoken to.

[quote name="peejman" post="1138868" timestamp="1397567777"]Interesting. Not sure I'd survive without my morning cereal. Eggs & bacon sounds good but I doubt the wife and kids would appreciate me banging around in the kitchen to fix that at o'dark thirty. I've got 2 young kids so there is no real rationing of milk. They drink tea and water but we still go through about 2 gal/wk. I'm anxiously awaiting garden season and really hoping for a better year than last year. The garden reduces my grocery bill significantly. My wife loves baking bread, but she typically makes various types of "artisan" breads. Don't know that she's ever made regular sandwich bread. [/quote] I would love to only go through 2 gallons of milk a week. Even with control on it we go through 4 gallons a week. Used to be 6 before I slowed them down. Even with a 4 and 5 year old I limit them to 1 glass a day roughly. Some of this started after finding sippy cups under the couch with "aged" milk in them. Our gardening helps considerably and this year we are trying our hand at chickens. I have about 40 that will be going into the freezer over the next few weeks. I haven't worked through the numbers to see if we saved anything yet. As for the cereal consider the price of a box of cereal and the milk that goes with it. Combined that is about $10 per box and that only lasts a day in my house. Eggs are $2/ dozen sausage is another $2 toast would be about .25 and oj is about $2.50 ( figuring about a half gallon). So I save about $3.25 a meal and get a better meal. That's $80 a month in savings over cereal. As for the dark thirty - scrambled eggs can be reheated. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="peejman" post="1138505" timestamp="1397503915"]Care to share how you pull that off?[/quote] Sure. Gas is cheap for me as I'm only 3.5 miles from work. Take cereal out of the budget because it is expensive. It is cheaper to fix eggs, sausage, toast, etc. With a substantial breakfast lunch becomes less of a large meal (aka pb&j works fine). For dinners we use a lot of chicken (usually about 10lbs of chicken breasts for 2 weeks@$1.99/lb). We use a lot of canned veggies for sides as they are cheap (usually 60-70 cents a can) And probably the biggest saver is that we make our own bread. I found it takes about the same amount of time to make 3 loaves of bread that it takes to go to the store and buy it. It is only about 20 minutes of activity (and 2 hours if inactivity). I can make around 6 -8 loaves out of $2 worth of flour. And it tastes better too. Other big expenses are milk and oj so we "ration" that and drink more water. Also there is no junk food in the house. On occasion I'll make a batch of cookies or pick up some chips and dip. Other than that I go to the store with a list and a budget (there's an ap for that) and don't buy things on a whim. As for non-food items we watch for sales and get it when it's cheap (sales cycle on about a 6 week cycle). Target is my favorite for this because they usually run really cheap and give back gift cards for stocking up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

My question is that if an emp hits and you save some of your electronics, who are you going to contact considering virtually everything and everybody else was knocked out. Use that space for something that won't be a paper weight. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="tnguy" post="1132423" timestamp="1396290921"]Margin is 50%, markup is 100% (I think [correctly]). [url="http://blog.conseroglobal.com/markup-vs-margin-whats-the-difference/"]http://blog.conseroglobal.com/markup-vs-margin-whats-the-difference/[/url][/quote] Yeah what you said. 15 years in retail my brain only works in margin. I didn't even pay attention to the fact he said markup since it isn't a consideration for most big retailers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

[quote name="TripleDigitRide" post="1131099" timestamp="1396018484"]I shared my opinion on their Facebook page. This is the response I received: Does the average retailer normally have a markup of $10, $15, $20 on a single brick of .22?[/quote] Normal margin from my understanding on ammo is between 40-50% gross. So a $20 brick should cost the dealer between $10-12. Before everyone flips out this is gross and a lot of expenses need to come out of that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
