There are tons of critters that I deem either worthless or even worse a real problem but I also realized a long time back that we are stuck with them for better or for worse so all we can do is try to avoid them as much as possible............jmho

The bumble bee is an important, beneficial insect. They pollinate plants and flowers as they forage for food. To gardeners, it is a welcome sight to see these large, flying insects carrying large loads of pollen, flying into and around their flower beds and gardens. I had to look up the Bumble Bees to be sure of what I had been told as kid learning about things on the farm growing up. Grand father told me they did good things and looks like he was correct. I am sure Carpenter Bees that look like Bumble Bees also have no positive purpose other than to being annoying and doing damage to your house eves and out buildings. Of course we all know that honey Bees produce honey that most everyone enjoys on hot biscuits or toast and even in coffee and tea so they are very useful. Now for the Yellow Jacket I think God put them on Earth as a lesson for stupid people and people that do not pay attention to their surroundings. I was guilty of that as I have dealt with them several times while growing up living on the farm and it was not a good experience for me or them. They got me and I got them. Other than that I see no postive reason for them being on earth. They are just 1 of many of GODS creatures that has yet to prove a positive value............JMHO

People who have never taken the time to study them of at least learn about them just thing they are just another bug that might sting them. The last thing a bee wants to do is that. All they want to do is work and go home. They are actually very smart........JMHO

LOL......Yea those flashbacks can be scary for sure. I have one every so often and I think to myself, " WOW "where did that one come from"?................

I would kill a rattlesnake by hand also. Any type of "HAND" gun would do just fine as far as I'm concerned....................JMHO

Heck with all the other possible listening devices that is already in my home I darn sure don't need to add another. I still think the Feds can listen to what you say in the Cable boxes on tv's and possibly even these new flat screen TV's so not interested in adding any more. .............JMHO

Back years ago in 1967 when I was moved down here by my parents on Saturday nights when weather was clear we would park up on a hill and could get WLS on the radio here in Tennessee. They were running running 100,000 watts of power at WLS and use to brag about the power they had to reach out and touch folks.........

My daughter had the same problem with 2 cardinals that keep pecking on her bedroom window every morning. She had tried several different ways to stop them but nothing has worked and finally I told her to put a good size mirror in the window so they could see their reflections and it stopped them. This might work in your house but have no clue how to stop the car windshield issue.

Have you tried Volunteer State Chevy Parts in Greenbrier Tennessee to see if they might have a motor mount for your Chevy? (615) 643-4583

You are dead on about the hunting in Illinois. I grew up in Illinois the 1st 17 years of my life and was born there. That was before they reopened the deer season so I never got to hnt them but I hunted any and all small game they had a season for which began with Squirrel and Dove in September and then hunter Rabbit and Ducks, Geese, woodcock, and from age 10 till we moved to Tennessee at age 17 I kept our freezers full of fresh wild game and in summer I filled them with fish. I have a friend that I grew up with and did all my hunting and fishing with and he said the laws have become so that it is almost impossible for anyone even living in the state to jump through the hoops just to be able to hunt.

I think when I think about the Rich and Greedy I look at the large corporations a lot more that I do the small business owners. The last job I held before going into retirement do to health issues I was employed in a Mom and Pop operation that had probably 25 employees. I worked for them for almost 12 years and it was the best paying job I ever had that also included paid family insurance and vacations. The reason I made such a great income for those 12 years was because the Mom and Pop went out of their way to make sure they took care of their employees by having a Profit Sharing Program and each month everyone got a bonus check along with their weekly wages. I have heard of a few large corporations that at one time did offer programs similar to that but I have not heard about any of them in years. It is hard to find any large corporations that want to pay anything except the bare minimum they can get away with and have just about stopped offering any benefits. Now with all of this said. I think President Trump wants to bring jobs back on shore is a good thing but my concern is are there going to be any real Americans willing to accept the jobs that come back? I think filling the jobs may be as hard as getting them back on shore or maybe even harder unless the companies are willing to give people a reason to come to work for them. I don't see minimum wages offered getting it done.................jmho

I would make a trip to the Mt Juliet Court building or police department and get the answers to these questions before you get warrants out for you. It gets ugly then.......jmho

Looks like his nose may be broke and I bet has has one hell of a headache and may have just a tad of vision issues on top of just being plain old stupid............jmho

You won't get an argument out of me when it comes to other peoples children. Any friends that come to my house make sure they keep their chldren under control and never let them out of their site. I guess that is why I don't get a lot company that have children in tow. I don't have guns down where child can gain easy access to them and if I do people coming to visit know to call first and any room that has guns down low are locked prior to their arrival. I live alone and my home is my castle and I live in it the way I choose to...........................

I have had a few folks in the real-estate business tell me that there are many houses that actually are worth more if they were torn down and the person sold bare land because the house brings down the value of the land it is built on. Don't know how true it is but I can see in certain instances that could be a fact.

Thanks OS. I think that will be pushing it for me because my DL expires 1-25-2018 and my HCP expires 6-23-2018 so guess I will just do both of them by mail when they send me the forms. They do send you forms to re-new HCP don't they? This is my first time re-newing so need to ask questions.

I will be re-newing my HCP in 2018. My drivers license also renews next year. Drivers license in January and HCP in June. My question is will they allow a person to re-new their HCP a few months early as would like to do both at same time when I do drivers license if possible and just make 1 trip. I have a DMV station about 3 miles from my house. Thaks in advance for any information.

What happened to you can happen anywhere but sorry about your broken window. I have has several friends get windows broke in Nashville as well. I had a buddy print me some stickers for my Jeep windows that are small but says "Jeep is unlocked please don't break windows. Help yourself to what ever you think you need to steal." So far have not had any broken glass and funny thing is I have not had anything stolen and I do have a high end Stereo in the Jeep and has removeable face but I never remove it. I do a lot of night fishing and Jeep is setting in a parking lot at the lake to sometimes midnight and still nothing is taken. I guess because i invite them to steal something they probably think it's a trap. Don't know? maybe just been lucky I guess.

I will be 70 if I make it till next January 25th 2018 and mine renews in June 2018 so if I was say 10 years younger I might look at lifetime but not any more. I will just get a normal cycle. Can a person renew early if they choose to. I might just renew carry permit and DL at same time if they will let me do it. Get it done and out of the way all at one time.

The Lead has been spoken up for and buyer is taking all of it so unless something changes it is SOLD!

I'm guessing right at a 1000 lbs is what I will have for sale. Below is just 3 blocks of it and the rest is in buckets in ingots weighing right at 11.5 ounces each and there is five 5 gallon pails of it.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but if not can someone tell me where I need to post it. I have an opportunity to lay my hands on some pure lead but I have no clue what pure lead is worth or selling for. If someone could steer me in a direction I could get a price it would be very much appreciated. I'm talking a pretty large quanity of lead. I don't do reloading but I am sure someone here does and might be able to point me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bersaguy

It's been about a month but finally made it to the indoor range the other day and sent about 300 rounds down range. I was lucky enough to run up on a guy that is reloading 380 ammo and he sold me 500 rounds for 12 bucks a box of 50 rounds. He also told me if I would save my brass he would give me a better price next time. I can afford to go a little more often now. I asked him what he could do for me on price if I supplied my brass and some lead and he said it would be even more affordable.

Glad they finally shut them down but did it really take a year to get enough proof? I know a local pawn shop here that was caught 3 times in 3 weeks and they shut them down in less than a month. Sorry about your wife losing her bonus for sure! They seem to want to blame everything on the Perscription drugs problem like it is the only drug issue they have. If I am not mistaken last year it was Meth problem sand year before that it was Heroine problems. If they have that many drug problems maybe if they would focus more on those issues the rest of their problems might inprove on their own................jmho

This is just my opinion but I honestly think that the anti-gun anti - 1st Amendment politicians are just exactly like all of the Hollywood elites. Like the indians use to say White man speak with fork tongue. Well drop the White man and put Politicians and Hollywood elites in it's place. The NRA ran an article a while back that about the Hollywood elites that talk anti gun yet all of them personally own guns. There are some that are Pro gun and will say they are like Gary Sinese, Keanu Reeves and Tom Selleck to name just a few. Keanu Reeves spoke in an interview that he owns several firearms and shoots regularly at local ranges near his home. I think most if not all politicians are exactly the same way but won't admit it because it goes against their party lines or some other rediculous off the wall reason. This is of course like I said ....................JMHO
