I have a grand daughter right now that is on probation from getting involved with trash. She has a baby boy from the guy and when he got caught dealing drugs she was charged also even though she was not directly involved but was living with him. He is in jail because he has a rap sheet long as his arm. She got probation because she had never been in trouble before but I cannot get her a HCP now so all she has to depend on is that piece of paper and he said when he gets out he will be coming to see his son , paper or not.

I will not second your decision on not telling the parents what you witness and I would have not just told them what I saw. I would have shown them the video. Reason being because the child lost his dog they may go out and get him another one and I surely don't believe he deserves another one with such little care for the first ones loss................jmho

  You can almost bet there have been attorney's talking to him about a civil lawsuit. That is what some lawyers do..........jmho

  I don't think they will allow him back in. They have seen all the trouble he caused here and they have enough problems already............jmho

I'm looking forward to them trying to enforce that in Alaska where 85% of the homes up there heat with wood if they live outside any of the few big cities up there. I think it may be a push to try and get more homes to move over to Natural gas since they have such an abundance of it now...........jmho

Why did this thread go from doing something positive to a complete political thread. I know we are talking about contacting our elected officials but I thought if you wanted a bill supported that is what you did. Where did I go wrong in thinking that? I just wrote to my representatives and ask them to support the bill. Wasn't that what this was suppose to be about?............................... :ugh:  :ugh: 

It is a major tourist town and that keeps the prices of everything higher. It does cost more to live there but it is a beautiful area to live. Lots of Mountains and home of Dollywood so you can imagine the traffic issues Pretty close to Gatlinburg which is another heavy tourist town and the entrance into Great Smoky Mountain National Park. That's about all I know about it. Been there a few times as a tourist.

I have also considered getting into buying one and going shopping under ground but I cannot find a good detector I can afford and don't want to buy junk to begin with. I think it would be a good reason to get me out of the house more and I know several large farms I could go to that were settles in the mid 1800's and a few of them had battles fought on them during civil war and also between Indians and settlers.

I'm in for it and do we write just our officials in our district or do we write maybe the ones in surrounding districts also?

I had a buddy of mine send me tat in an email a while back. It was funny............. :rock:

It is amazing how fast the police can get on a scene wen some one with HCP calls and says if this guy follows me to my destination I will be in fear of my life and will shoot the guy because i am armed. Yet in most cases when you need one you can't find one right then. I have seen times I can drive all over Gallatin and never see a squad car. Other times you drive around and you will see City and County squad cars everywhere........... :squint:

Yep, I am the same way as I have everything I want and am content. I have plenty of ammo for each gun I own and can even go to the range and pop a few caps and not worry to stay in touch with the art of shooting and hitting the target. Some people never reached that point and have a different approach of what they want and goals they may never reach.............jmho

                   ("If I had known I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of my self.")   You have no idea how many times I have made that exact statement. I think most all of us thought we were all men of steel when we were young and now I think most of us all are paying the price for not being Superman.................jmho

Glad I decided not to post in this thread. I could not say anything positive so I didn't say anything.................jmho

Regardless of how or where it started road rage is never a reason to shoot at another person unless that person is trying to run you over while outside your vehicle and your life is in danger. I always do my best to stay out of every ones way when driving so I don't get caught up in a road rage situation. i also am never in any kind of hurry to get anywhere that may cause a situation. I do think the young man was wrong for putting him car up on the side walk but not wrong enough to get shot at.............jmho

Yep , it does look like she was just capping off rounds but if I was a bad guy and I heard the kind of rounds she was capping off I don't think I would wait to see if she was able to hit me or not. They guy either had a death wish or was just plain stupid but either way he was a very lucky person.  I hope she does get some practice in and I would almost be willing to  send here a box or two of ammo to go to a range and get help with learning what she needs to know about doing a better job next time and killing the bad guys or at least making them bleed...............jmho 

Rusty or not all I can say is Momma had a big old gun and was sending hot lead down range for sure............ :up: :up: :up:

I have spent a small fortune buying all the HEPA air Filters and they are in every room. I use to shampoo all m carpets every week to two weeks I have purchased about 10 mattress covers since she developed this and they are washed weekly. I have a nice neighbor lady that comes and dusts my home at least once a week for a small fee. My house only had Blinds and no curtains which the little lady dusts and washes when she is here. She even had a mattress cover on her memory foam twin size mattress she sleeps on that gets washed weekly. I don't mind spending the money on things that will work but the options seem to be endless and most of them have not worked with her. My vet told me to allow her to remain out side as much as possible and I do but this winter has been extremely harsh so on nights when it is going to go below freezing I bring her in. Her quilt in her outside house is washed weekly and he house is washed out and cleaned weekly. I cook most of her meals for her and the vet has told me what spices I should cook in them when i prepare them in the crock pot. He said garlic is great for dogs so all of her Chicken breasts are cook with garlic along with other spices. She loves vegetables so when I make beef stew she eats that also. She loves Chicken and rice so we eat that often with garlic of course. I asked the vet if by not feeding her dog food is there a possibility she may not be getting some of the things dogs need and he said if I will feed her dog food twice  a week that would be sufficient to get her what she needs.  Thank you for your ideas as any and all are very much appreciated......... :up: :up:

Well you have no idea how smart this mutt is that I call the queen. She will not drink tap water and I ahve ti fill milk jugs with tap water and let them set for a couple days till the chlorine evaporates out of it or she won't drink it. But I am going to try the apple vinegar  idea and my sinuses quit working years ago so her farts won't be an issue. The oat meal bath is out unless I can get help because I cannot lift her into the tub as she weighs 77 lbs and when she knows it's bath time she becomes dead weight. I tried benedryl tablet in her food and she eats all but the pill and I tried meds the vet gave me, Predisone tablets and she eats around them also but she will eat the Zyrtec tablets just fine in her supper.

I was getting her shots for it every month and giving her Zyrtec 10 Mg which I still give her one of those each night but without my normal vet I need more advice. It normally cost me $40.00 for office visit and shot. I called another vet her in town and asked how much a shot would cost and he said $125.00 for office visit and shot. I will pay it if there is nothing else I can do till my vet comes back to work. It' hurts to watch her scratching all the time. I use a brush on her about 3 times a day but don't want to do it so much it makes her sore.

I always thought competition was good for business but evidently the guy running that show never heard that. I would not be going there anyway but then I quit going to gun shows back in 2008 when I went to one in Nashville and there was a huge picture of Obama in the entrance with the sign under it reading Gun Salesman of the year. I went on in knowing there would be nothing in the show I could afford and I was right. I only bought one item and sure glad I did. I bought 3 bricks of 22lr's and still have them because they were still at the almost normal prices. My buddy bought 4 bricks and we left. But I would not go to that show in Kingsport if I lived next door knowing what I know now..............jmho

I think we have a vet on the site and I sure would like to get some advice about my old dog. She has a dust mite allergy that is causing some severe itching and my local vet in out of commission with shoulder surgery and won't be back in his office till March 15th. Any advice would be greatly appreciated........Thanks

My question is pretty stupid but I need to ask anyway. How could they have the Opry Mills parking lot posted as Gun Free Zone and have a gun store on the property. I mean does Bass Pro Shop not sell guns and is it not located on Opry Mills property parking lot? How could you purchase a gun and some ammo to use in the gun and not break the law trying to get back to your vehicle in the marked parking lot?

I don't think it is getting any worse. It is just not getting any better...............jmho
