If I worked for a company and they sent me into any foreign land with all the stuff going on all around the world they would only send me home because I would submit my resignation before they could hand me the plane tickets..........JMHO. This is the only place in the world I feel safe and more so in Tennessee than even some of the other states......JMHO again.   Hope Willis gets home safe and quits that damn job and gets something 9-5 at home....... :up:

I have thought about it long and hard for last couple weeks after seeing all these so called students and their bitching and complaining about their wants verses their needs. Their wants are for the most part unjustified and their needs are boot up their spoiled rotten a$$es and it should be the Universities doing to booting. Universities are there for one thing. To educate a student in higher education. Not to be a baby sitter to a bunch of cry babies. If these stunts took place in a high school the students would be expelled. In college the educators are fired. What is wrong with that picture?   Now you talk about funding and that Colleges depend on Tuition's to pay wages. If that is true what happens to all the money taken in at one home game at University of Tennessee. I and my wife attended one game back the first year, the first game after the new seating was in place and the place was packed to the hilt. 1 trip to the concession stand was all I could afford without floating a loan at the bank. What would have cost me about $12.00 at any fast food outlet cost me $56.00 there. The only reason I was able to take my wife was because a friend of mine had season tickets and loaned them to me to take her. Everyone at the place must have made 1 or more trips to concessions which by the end of the night had to amount way beyond any amount taken in I could imagine not counting ticket admission costs. Were does that money go? Can anyone tell me. Now base that on how many home games they have on an average year it has to put numbers in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.   Off my soap box now...................... :shrug: :shrug:

  Yes, there are few that are smarter but for the most part it is more dedication combined with stupidity than brains. As being afraid of our being well armed. Guns are good against other guns but guns don't work if the bad guys are wearing IED Vests and not packing guns. That plays very little in their train of thought because they know that they will die during their assault so the only real point is how fast people with guns respond to their attack if they did use guns. As they showed the other night in Paris, They couldn't kill anyone except for 1 innocent bystander yet 3 of the blew themselves up in front of that soccer field when they were refused admission.  They had tickets and had they got there before the game started they would have been allowed in. Poor timing on their part...............jmho

I don't doubt they did it and probably with a can and that blasting cap if the can was placed in the right location on the plane but I just don't believe they showed everything else that was used. Some said it didn't have a timer. A timer is not needed if it is triggered by a cell phone. That is why I don't think they are showing everything. Just enough to get Putin's attention. They also did find TNT residue On plane parts and on a few bodies...........jmho

I'm afraid Kasey might not recognize me and neither would any of my grand kids or great grand kids. They have never seen me without one. My second wife went to her grave never seeing me without one. I will take mine to my grave...........jmho

Sure glad you did not get hurt for sure. Most of these new cars have very little to no ground clearance and almost have to have ramps to do anything underneath them..................Just glad your ok............... :up: :up:

I have said this before and I will say it again. Maybe someone should have vetted Obama on his promise to Fundamentally change America and actually got what his idea of change was before electing him. I don't know about some folks but I really don't like his change at all and he is a jerk for taking a great nation and trying to turn it into a third world Middle East Cesspool. He can take his change and stuff it where the sun never shines............jmho 

I have worn my beard since 1972. I thought about shaving it off one time and then I went back and looked at some pictures before I had it and changed my mind. Some of my family have expressed they would like me to shave mine of so they could see what i look like without it. I show them pictures and a couple of them told me not to shave it off.............. :rofl: :rock:

I don't think DC would be because they have said they are going to target it. They know Security will be really beefed up anyplace they have said they will target. I would guess somewhere in the Heartland. Maybe Chicago or St Louis. I mean they did hit Boston which one would have considered a soft target. Was zero talk or chatter of Boston at all and Boom!!!!

I will not live in fear of it happening and alter my way of life because about 70% of the time I'm at home, 10% out buying groceries and the rest of the time I am driving somewhere like 65 miles to doctor one way. So unless the terrorists target my house I am safe from that. Home invasion is more likely.  

 Don't remember how it feels since I don't go in a place that has them and have not in a long long time. No plans on it anytime soon. Well need to back up a tad. Was in Hospital last winter but was still safe as many of my friends that visited and some family that visited had my back and pretty much were there all the time I was......... :up:

Well, for the most part most stores in malls also have free standing stores in other locations and most anything you would buy in a mall can be bought on line. That is for sure.   back the year after my wife passed I was trying to do Christmas shopping for grand children and parents of them and it was overwhelming for me to do it without her. That was the year my step daughter began calling me Mr Scrooge........ :up: I did all my shopping in 20 minutes about midnight at Walmart at customer Service counter. That is how long it took me to purchase Gift cards for each person I was buying for and that is what I did every year after that until they were all grown and then I quit. I will start back again this year for a couple of my Great Grand children but it will be gift cards again.................... :rofl: 

I think they should all be shown the film of the riots at Kent University back in 1970 over Vietnam War which was a far more important protest than these idiots are protesting about today. But same thing could still happen to them just the same. Many of these protesters weren't even born in 1970 and probably don't even know about this.   http://www.newsweek.com/my-god-theyre-killing-us-our-1970-coverage-kent-state-328108

Has anyone been giving any thoughts about the terrorist threats being made on our soil and a timeline of when it might happen? I know that everyone in Security positions in Government says there are no confirmed threats known right now but then Paris didn't have any either before Friday night. I sincerely hope I am wrong but Black Friday is only a week away and every mall across this country is going to be packed with people and the malls have not announced any major increases in security for fear it would keep folks away from the stores. 2 suicide bombers could walk in a food court of a mall at lunch and how many people would be killed. If they had numerous malls targeted at same time it could be very serious to say the least. I don't think they would try using guns such as in Paris but suicide bombers would be far more effective and not noticeable till to late.    I have told my family not to go to any Malls on Black Friday and all of them have promised me they won't. If there are no know actual threats why has many of most major cities ramped up the police presence by as many as 1500 officers or more with some bringing in National Guard for extra help.    I'm not trying to scare people of cry wolf or the sky is falling but just want people to think about what is going on right now and stay safe................. :up: :up:

I pretty much have a decent life and have since my wife passed. Loved her to death but could not deal with her son (Stepson) at all. Major bum period. Stayed drunk most of the time. Once wife passed I threw him out along with dead beat wife. Have not spoke to them since funeral. Step daughter has been a great help to me but does not try to interfere in my life. My Son lives about 70 miles away and stays to busy working to even call but about 1 time a month. As for my neighbors, they tolerate me but don't say much to me over the 17+ years we have lived next to each other. I think a lot of that may have to do with I carry while around my house and out in my yard. I don't even know if they own a gun. Never asked, never thought it was any of my business. I have a few very close friends that stop in once in a while for coffee in the morning every couple days. I don't attend any family dinners like Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years. That caused an issue back about 1998 after wife died because I got invited to both homes for Thanksgiving that year and because I did go to either they both got offended so have not been to either since. They don't even ask me any more. Both just show up with left overs for me to freeze and eat when I get ready. Kasey loves left over............ :rofl: :rofl: 

Can any business have enough security when it comes to things that can do great damage, be dangerous or be stolen?...... :shrug:

Thank you very much!!! that has made it a lot easier to read and type and saved me a bunch of funds........ :up: :up: :up:

Most folks here know I have got cataracts and it is becoming a little difficult for me to read the computer screen and i am looking for one of those magnifier screens I can put on my monitor to enlarge the print. The only one Amazon offers has very poor reviews so not going to waste my time there. I was wondering if anyone else may know where I might be able to get one for a 17 inch flat monitor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   thanks Bersaguy

Back when I was shooting Trap, that was the way I grew up shooting at Turkey Shoots. When I moved down here I went to a Turkey shoot and it was the pattern paper targets and I was a little disappointed it was not a trap shoot. I was a member of two different shooting clubs and shot at one or the other every Friday night. You mentioned the 27 yard back up in your club. We called them Block house shoots and we had 5 shooters at a time and if you missed you were eliminated from that shoot. My buddy and I won many of those shoots. I had an Over/Under 30 inch Full & Full Browning and my buddy shot a Winchester Model 12 Pump gun with 30 Inch Full.   At the 16 yard distance we both had to wait till the birds peaked and began their down float before we could bust them. Most of the other guys were shooting modified barrels. That is why we were able to win most of the block house shoots. The birds were still in their climb when we could shoot them. At those turkey shoots we would always come home with several canned hams and several Turkey's. I like what they called the meat shoots. There you could win a Turkey, ham, 8 lb stick of Bologna, or Salami. We would clean up on those shoots. Thing is we were both teenagers shooting against most grown men that had been shooting for years. Most everyone reloaded their own shells so it was fairly cheap for us to shoot back then.   I went to one of the Turkey shoots down here with my younger brother and I got to shoot only one round before my gun was disqualified. They let me have the first Turkey but told me I could not shoot again. Even though they could not prove my gun was sleeved which it was not they said I couldn't shoot again. I almost blew the center out of the target. I didn't argue it. I just hung around and watched my little brother win about 5 turkeys with my grandfathers old single shot 30 inch full choke 12 gauge. That Browning was one of the guns they got when they burglarized out home in 1988...................... :shrug:

All that shaking going on in his avatar was driving me nuts to where I would skip over a lot of his posts.............. :ugh:

Back years ago when I spent a lot of time shooting Trap and Skeet I got to look inside a Trap house. It was buried below a berm ground level, made of 5 inches of Concrete on all three sides in front of shooters and the roof was 3/4 inch Marine type plywood with I think 1/4 inch steel plate covered with earth. They said the trap house had to be very very safe for the operator even though all of the shots that were made was with the Clay birds at least 25+ feet above the trap house. If your machine is commercial grade you should be able to put the machine just behind the shooters on one side or the other and still have a challenging bird flight. If it has the right bird flight the bird is moving at 90 Feet per second for first 5 seconds and is out of range in 9 seconds using low power trap loads. I do think like most folks on this one though. Best to not have the operator in front of the shooters in anything above ground..............jmho

So what WAS he? Orthodox Jew? Terrorist? Milk man?   You forgot "Pain in the A$$" which would get my vote............jmho   Thanks to the "Silencer of the Lamb"...................... :up:

Well what was left after France got done with them may have vacated Raqqa so like I said, Russia was dropping bombs and firing missiles into what was left after France got done. Now if we can we need to find out where they plan on sitting up house keeping at next so someone can strike it.........jmho

"Quote"This has got me thinking for the first time how it might have effected me were I a part of the military or our government or even the adult generation that was responsible for dropping the nukes on Japan." My father was a very good friend of the pilot that flew the Enola Gay that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima Japan. This is an article from a report after he dropped the bomb. Air Force captain Theodore "Dutch" Van Kirk did not know the destructive force of the nuclear bomb before Hiroshima. He was 24 years old at that time, a veteran of 58 missions in North Africa. Paul Tibbets told him this mission would shorten or end the war, but Van Kirk had heard that line before. Hiroshima made him a believer. Van Kirk felt the bombing of Hiroshima was worth the price in that it ended the war before the invasion of Japan, which promised to be devastating to both sides.

It was 10 years ago on September that terrorists struck the school in Russia killing 300 with 186 of them children.  What is to say it won't happen here? Schools are soft targets. When they say they will strike DC, that is probably a very big diversion to get America focused on protecting Our countries Capitol and elected government which would not succeed because of the extra security that is located there. But a school does not have a military force protecting it.   I guess they finally proved to Putin that ISIS brought down his countries Airbus over the Sinai so now he is bombing Raqqi but he is to late cause France beat him to it so he is bombing rubble. At least he has now decided that ISIS is his enemy also. Now ISIS had got 3 different military's countries bombing their locations. I wonder who they plan to piss off next. ISIS has said no one is safe........... :shrug:
