There was a 3000 Sq. ft. house being built about 1/2 mile up the road from us in Gordonsville and had 5 acres of land with it. It was started building pre-pandemic and it stall construction for almost a year. Since the construction began back post-pandemic the price of the house has gone up 3 times and it is about 85% complete. The builder says it will probably go up at least once more before it sells. The builder blames the increases in the price of lumber. I wonder why he didn't have all the lumber ordered when he began building?

I don't think Wells Fargo has ever recovered completely from that last problem they had when the Housing Bubble busted and they got caught up it and a scandal with credit cards back then also....JMHO

With all of the guns floating around Chicago if he was going to be forced to go there for any reason I would say he didn't have enough with him if he would have had to defend himself and he would be seriously out gunned.

Can anyone here confirm that 2 guns and 4 magazines can be considered an Arsenal as the Mayor has declared it to be??

I doubt he will beat it. It will cost him something. This is Chicago we are talking about here!!!!!

Well I am taking all of what I am reading with a grain of salt by Sun Times and what is coming out of CNN cause if there isn't really anything in the beginning by the time they get done he will be a mass murderer and have 20 guns in the room. The guy made two mistakes.1 Going to Chicago and 2 taking firearms with him. I spoke with a friend that lives in Lockport Illinois 28 miles from Chicago and he has not been to Chicago in 11 years and has no plans in going any time soon. He actually avoids going to anything in Cook county period.

Being Chicago I can see a hand gun for protection. But to have that type of rifle with him along with 5 back up loaded magazines leaves me wondering what was this guy up to?.......JMHO

FORD= Found On Road Dead!!!! JMHO

They make them look good in the commercials but I know about 3 guys that have test drove them and none bought one but 1 of them did buy new Jeep. 1 is still looking for something and one is considering a new Blazer.

Thanks to all of you for the great response!!!!

I want to wish everyone on TGO and their families a Safe and Happy 4Th of July!!!!

I saw that on the news and thought that the dog was very smart to ring the door bell, Enjoyed watching it.

Things like they tried to do this morning with the DUI's should have been expected to test for a reaction and they got several right quick and changed their mind on the DUI rule almost before the ink dried.

I quite being angry about it many years ago Darrell. When it first happened I was mad enough to chew thumb tacks but then I offer a $1,000,00 reward for just the return of the Winchester Model 12 that belonged to my dead son no questions asked and when it didn't come home I began to lose hope and now because I am so old I have notified the authorities if they begin to turn up they are to contact my Son and Grandson as they both have carry permits so won't have to jump through many hoops to get them back.

I wish you all the luck in the world on getting your guns back. I had 17 guns taken from my home in 1987 and I reported them to every law enforcement agency available and I'm still waiting for the 1st one to turn up anywhere. I hope yours begin showing up and you get them back.

Thank you for the help Erik. I was thinking that by looking at the box I was in the clear and we are still going to get in touch with the guy that gave them to me. I am thinking I am safe because he sold his 9MM over a year ago so he has not bought any ammo in over a year so the ammo is at least over a year old that I have.

I didn't buy it Erik88. A friend of mine gave it to me. The box looks old and my friend got it from a friend and he can't get in touch with the guy that they got it from originally.

Ok so I need some help here. I have 1 box of that ammo and I have looked at the ends of the box and the numbers inside but I'm not good with technical stuff like this I will list what is on both ends of my box and would appreciate any help on if I have bad ammo or not please. On 1st end it has: Carton no. CT365A E120103 On other end of box it has: A12 1 A12 B12 A12 B12 A12 B12 A12 B12 On both ends of the box on the outside it has Q4172 This box of ammo was given to me and the box appears to be pretty old so if anyone can help me out it would be very much appreciated, Doug aka Bersaguy

Wish I would have seen this sooner. Prayers being sent for Molly and a full recovery. I include Rosie in all my prayers every night and tonight Molly will be be included!!!! Glad to hear about the improvement and GOD does answer prayers for sure.

You beat me to it BJB. I was just beginning to type that when you posted it....LOL

If the Indians are smart they won't take it back now that the white man has destroyed it....JMHO

Living on a farm/Ranch encounters with snakes was not uncommon. Believe it or not there are a few good types of snakes and my grandfather made sure I knew which ones not to kill, Blue Racer snakes always got a pass as they would keep the mice and rats under control in most cases. When I first moved down here with my parents in 1967 I was taught about snakes and I thought a Black Snake and a Blue Racer were the same snake but learned that they are not the same snake. A Blue Racer will kill and eat a mouse but a Black Snake will killed and eat Rats, mice and venomous snakes also. I got to witness a Black Snake and a Copperhead in a battle and once the Black Snake was able to get the Copperhead wrapped in a constrictive wrap it held onto it till it killed the copperhead and then proceeded to devour it head first. The Black snake was about 3 times as big as the Copperhead so didn't take long to eat it. That is not something you get to see everyday so I watched it all happen which took about 30 minutes beginning to end.

Well since we are talking snake stories I have one from years back. I had an older brother that was crippled from polio when he was 4 years old and he could do most things for himself because we had his home built to make him independent. He worked for the Federal Government as an accountant. Well when you live alone if something is moved in your house you will know it. He kept coming home from work and things had been moved in his house several times in a week. Nothing big, little nick knacks on end tables and coffee table, a coffee cup knocked of the kitchen counter and broke so he called me and ask me to come up and search his house so I did but didn't find anything. The problem went on for a second week and I had a day off and a key and I had him open all the drapes so I could watch from outside. About 4 hours into the morning moving from room to room looking I spotted the problem. He had a chicken snake about 8 feet long in the house. I watched and waited for it to move into a room it could be caught easily and I went in and caught the snake in under his bed. I used a broom to sweep it out from under the bed and grabbed it. I put it in a box and waited for him to come home and showed it to him. We both wondered how it had gotten into the house and finally figured out, it came down the Chimney. He had Barn Swallows that had built nests in the chimney and had babies in the nests and there was a tree next to the house. The snake climbed up the tree and began to climb into the chimney and evidently fell to the bottom and out into the house. I took the snake home and released it in the woods behind my house. Soon as all the baby Swallows had left the chimney and flown away I went back to my brothers house and put a hardware cloth screen over the top of the chimney so no more birds or snakes could get in it.

Brain wifi is what your trying to say. If they cannot see each other it won't work!!!!

This is not a new problem for the Memphis post office Hub. As best I can tell it was going on long before Covid became their excuse. Every time I had to send baits to Texas I used UPS.
