According to the report he shot and killed a humanoid type creature. If it was a humanoid type creature he should be charged with premeditated  murder for hunting and killing a humanoid and not be running around bragging about it if it is in fact true which I doubt. I have read a lot of accounts about these creatures over the years and almost all scientists that have discussed information about them have drawn a conclusion that the beasts are a vegetarian and lives mostly off vegetation and is not carnivorous which should make his pork ribs food bait fake also......................jmho 

I guess he picked McGavock High School because it reminded him of schools in Chicago. 70 to 80% of students are gang members that attend school there and his audience of students were all hand picked so go figure. As far as I'm concerned he could have picked a complete different state to visit. I also guess he is a really busy guy since he will use Air Force 1 and the expenses of the aircraft and expense of all the security and everything is all being spent and he will be here a total of less than 2.5 hours. I think the money could be better spent with him remaining in Washington D.C. doing his job instead of wasting more tax payer dollars and adding another footprint of carbon in the air to come and talk with a bunch of thugs for an hour.............jmho

Yep!! Welcome to TGO and you will find some great folks here for sure and Lascassas is a nice area and should find some friendly folks around that area......................... :up: :up:

Technology has come a long way in a short time and so have the crooks. They work very hard at trying to learn how to bypass some of the most elaborate security systems and many times they are successful but if I was going to install a system it would be two separate ones. One a basic system and one that makes home movies with a hidden camera in every room that recorded ever move the crooks made and there would be a camera or two outside to get a good look at the vehicle they arrived in and left in. A picture is worth a 1000 words and I would want the police to have plenty of videos of the bad guys. The only reason I have not got a very elaborate is because I spend a lot more time at home these days since my retirement and if I do go someplace I am seldom gone more than an hour and we have a very good neighborhood watch system. I like to call it the Neighborhood Snoop Group because they do much more snooping than watching but it works for me. No one comes around that does not have a few pairs of eyes on them and many times pictures made of them and vehicles.................jmho

  you raised some good points but the best one was to deactivate your alarm system after entering the house. Reason being a high tech person can be setting in a van or vehicle with devices that can collect your remote codes when you use it before entering your home and make their own remote to turn your system off. Had that happen to a buddy of mine. Lucky he had a system that alerted him on his phone if and when his system was turned off and he greeted the bad guys when they came out of his home along with two police officers............jmho

I love Grilled Cheese Sandwiches so I will now be trying this new one as it sounds great with hot bowl of tomato soup and glass of cold milk for sure................ :up: :up: :up:

Buds Gun Store sent me a promo and they now have 380 ammo in stock for sale but they sure are proud of the price. $15.95 for 20 rounds. I guess if you really need some and are totally or close to being out at least you would be able to get a few boxes since 380 is about like 22lr and getting hard to find...............jmho   https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php

Well, I just checked my stock and I don't have any of it so I guess I am good to go. I have had most all mine over 2 year anyway so chances of it being in those lot numbers was slim to none anyway.

Well, my grandson is looking for a 9mm and said he likes the M9 he carries and has trained on in the Army Rangers so I guess he will probably look at buying one since they will be making them here soon.

Sorry to heard about all the bad things that have happened to your brother. That really sucks............. :rant:  :mad: :mad:

I don't have anything on my hard drive I would worry about losing like many people do so if I download something I want to keep that evening or even right after I done load it I put it on a flash drive so if mine ever does totally crash I will have the stuff stored I really wanted to keep on the flash drives. They are not all that expensive and you can store a ton of stuff on them. I have all my pictures and videos on them, all my email addresses and all the web sites I visit and other than that I don't worry about the junk stuff. I do hope your able to retrieve all your data you may have lost Glenn...........

Wild Hogs like someone has already mentioned has spread to about all the states and I think there needs to be concerns about this. Hogs are not like deer. Hogs can be and are dangerous and can be and in many cases be very aggressive towards humans. If small children are out in the yard and hogs are near by, those children are clearly in a very dangerous situation. Hogs can be and in many cases carnivores and will eat meat with out a second thought when hungry. I do know a farmer that has shot and killed several on his farm that were damaging his crops and his home garden. He shot them and then took his tractor and back hoe and buried them. he was totally legal in doing so as they were being a nuisance and destroying his property. I also know another farmer that has shot several on his property also but I think he did what I would do. He butchered them up as he would a domestic hog and put them in his freezer. I would be saving that 200 lbs of meat if I had freezer space for it. If the states that do have a large population of wild hogs don't take action and a child ends up dead from them I would be suing that state for having both the knowledge that they have a problem and also are not doing anything to remedy it................jmho  

Amazon has them on sale if any of ya'll want to buy some............ :yum: :yum: :rock: :rock:     http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Gummi-Candy-Happy-Cola-5-Pound/product-reviews/B000EVMNMI/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1

I don't see this as being a shock to anyone. We have known for several years that eventually drones would be used in law enforcement sooner or later. Like a few have said, the witness and testimony of a human can be altered or a human can lie to a court. The film from an aircraft or drone can be in most cases more trust worthy than humans as like a saying that has been around for years. " A picture is worth a 1000 words". If someone is breaking the law they need to be dealt with and if done through legal channels such as court ordered search warrants I have no problem with it as long as the laws are followed to the letter..................jmho

I had been hearing rumors it was coming to Gallatin and now glad to hear it for sure. They said that one of the deciding factors was that once hwy 109 is completed it will give the shippers greater access to all major interstates going in all directions. I for one will be thrilled when the orange barrels are gone from 109 bu will hate to see all the semi truck traffic it will bring taking shortcuts that by pass Nashville...............jmho

Well, I watched it all and my conclusion to it was he acted somewhat mundane in all but the part about the Republicans and health care. He got a little loud about that but other wise he kind of acted like he didn't want to upset any ones apple carts. I listened to the reporters after it ended and they pretty much said that all of the plans for Obama and his executive orders sounded like he could do a lot more than he can actually do with them and said for the most part they are very limited in all reality.  His touch about guns and gun control was very limited and as far as executive orders doing anything about that were slim to none. He acted like he tried to stay pretty much away from gun talks. In all, I think he was being careful about what he really wanted to say because of mid-term elections. I also thought the reporters did mention a couple times that there is a very good chance the Republicans will take the Senate in mid terms. That comment came up a few times as they talked. I hope they are right but I will not be holding my breath waiting to see. I also noticed that the standing ovations were shorter than normal from both sides of the isle except for the Sergeant near the end and I think Obama has lost a lot of respect from even many of his own party. His ratings are beginning to take their toll I think . I also heard the reporters discuss the fact about Hillary doing so speaking for the mid-terms to help the Democrats that are running and Bob Sheiffer   said that quite a few of those running have asked her NOT to come and speak for them. Maybe they have seen that her ratings are also dropping......................jmho

  Wish I could like this post 100 times. That young man deserved every second of that standing ovation. I'm just sorry he was being used by a President that in all reality hates our Military for the most part and has proven it to many times.............jmho

If you are still having issues with it let me know in PM. My son has a scanner that can read it.

JMHO here but I have more respect for Snowden than I do for her. I think Snowden wanted the American people to know what our Government was doing to the American people and Feinstein doesn't want us to know anything they are doing to us. I don't think he is a spy. I think he is a whistle blower and our Government would love to see him dead and all of his information destroyed............jmho 

  well I am 66 years old and I can remember doing a lot of small game hunting about anywhere we wanted to hunt but my Uncles and their friends that wanted to hunt deer had to go to Wisconsin to deer hunt because there was not a season for it in upper Illinois they could hunt deer in. It did say in one article that a limited deer season was opened in 1957 but it didn't say in what areas of the state except for Cook county and a few counties that surrounded it were off limits. I lived in cook county barely. I could walk about 2 miles down the road I lived on and would be in Will County. The home I use to live in and grew up in is now gone along with every other house on that road and the entire area has become a wildlife refuge and is part of the Black Partridge Forest now. The area I lived in was mostly wetlands and the duck hunting was wonderful back then............... :woohoo: :woohoo:

I make a sausage casserole very similar to that and it is great.        2lbs breakfast sausage cooked 1 can creamed corn 1 lb grated Cheddar cheese make up a batch of cornbread like you would normally do if making a pan of corn bread. In a 13x2 cake pan spray with Pam or coat with light cooking oil and add a small layer of corn bread batter, then pour creamed corn from can spreading it across first layer of bread coating, add another layer of bread batter. Then spread out sausage around over second layer of bread batter and pour more batter over sausage and then spread grated cheese over bread batter layer and then top with remaining batter to cover cheese. Bake in oven at 350 degrees until top layer of bread is golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temps for about 3 hours and serve like a Lasagna casserole in slices. Makes a great meal........................jmho

I stand corrected on the dates and it did have a limited deer season beginning back in 1957 after being closed across the state for 50 years. Cook County did not allow it till 1991. But they did band it for those 50 years statewide. I grew up hunting in Illinois and I know that we were not allow to kill deer in Cook County, Will county and Dupage Counties which was the area I lived in. Maybe farther south they had seasons but none around where I lived. It may have just been selected counties and I will do more research on it.   Deer Hunting  Illinois has gained world renown for our deer population - and particularly for our big bucks. Illinois’ modern firearm deer season began in 1957, after being closed for more than 50 years, and white-tail herd growth and hunting opportunities have expanded ever since.

I'm also a Salsa lover but never found any I really liked until I was at Sams Warehouse store doing some shopping and ran across a salsa I had not seen before. It comes in 47 oz bottles and I get the medium because the hot will blister your mouth but this stuff is "KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF" good stuff. It is not at all sweet. last time I went back I bought 5 jars of it. The brand is   "On the Border Mexican Grill and Cantina" It's all natural and everyone that has tried it that stops in says it is killer good for sure. If you just want to make your own I understand but if your just looking for some great salsa this will fill the bill I bet....................jmho

Back many years ago they use to allow you to hunt wild hogs in management areas like Catoosa Wildlife areas but I don't think they have any hunts any more. I know another story about a state that made a similar mistake but it was with Deer. Evidently the Governor of Illinois in 1948 thought like PETA and he outlawed the hunting of deer in Illinois till further notice. Well over the years all the Governors followed suit. Well even though deer don't populate like hogs to do reproduce and they did so very proudly all across the state of Illinois till 1991. Even though the farmers complained to the Governors that they were losing a 1/3 of their crops or more to the deer it fell on deaf ears. People in big towns and small cities were complaining because the deer were eating their shrubs around their houses that also fell on deaf ears. In 1991 while a Jumbo 747 was on final approach for landing at O'Hare Airport a herd of about 500 + deer strolled out onto the runway and in a panic the pilots were able to climb back in the air causing air traffic controllers in panic mode because the skies where full over Chicago and they went on full alert and all planes had to take evasive action to prevent mid air crashes. They sent a crew out on the runway to chase the deer off but they were so use to being around humans it took the a long time and flights had to be diverted to Midway airport in Chicago. The mayor Of Chicago contacted the Governor about the issue and a plan was drawn up for the DNR to trap the deer and move them out to the farm lands in middle and southern Illinois. When the farmers heard about their plans they went crazy. They told the Governor that if they began trucking deer south from Chicago they would start shooting the deer as fast as possible and maybe in the truck drivers bringing the deer down there. The Governor said that it would be dealt with in another way and professional hunters were brought in and told to kill the deer and Neuhoff (spelling) Packing Company in Chicago would be paid to process the meat and it would be given to the Orphanages and homeless shelters and soup kitchens all across Chicago. When the Mayor asked the hunters how much of a problem he had they said the entire city is infested with deer and at almost epidemic proportion. The mayor of Chicago and all towns and small cities in Illinois filed a petition that the state of Illinois open a deer season and allow hunters to hunt them. It passed on first reading and the DNR made a seasonal schedule that began at the beginning of the following month which was September and ran through February for the first year with a no sex no limit rule for the first year. Bow, shotgun slug and muzzle loaders were all legal but no High Power rifles. a buddy of mine and his tow sons killed 88 deer the first season as he and his family own a large farm in Streator Illinois. They were feeding the entire small town deer meat.  Another thing the seasons helped was the auto insurance industry and policy holders because as the deer populations began to fall so did the auto/deer accidents and peoples insurance began to get lower as the accidents declined. It took about 10 years to get the deer population in check. About the middle of the second year the Governor was concerned with all the dead deer carcasses laying beside highways all over the state may cause disease so he began contracting people to clean up the highways and came up with another plan to continue feeding the orphanages and other charities so a plan was put in place to help the auto owner who's cars were damaged by a deer. If immediately after accident that person called a number they had listed a processor would immediately collect the deer and process it before the meat spoiled that state would pay that persons deductible charges on their insurance for the repairs to their vehicle. That was in place for the 1st 10 years of the deer season but don't know if it is still in effect as I lost my friend to cancer so have not learned much more but I think his sons are still doing it. The state paid them to pick up the deer, process it and if they could not deliver it because at that time it was not needed  they were paid to keep the meat in coolers and or freezers. I went up to visit him back in 1993 and at that time he had 10 large Chest type freezers in his processing area. I know this kind of a long read but it all comes back to the issue with the hogs. If they don't open up a season on them in Tennessee the situation with the Hogs will be much worse much quicker...............jmho

Didn't see any bars on windows but all the cases are full of new guns again with a new type of glass put in the cases that is suppose to not be able to shatter even with a hammer and they do have chains on the guns and padlocks chaining them to the case with the chains. I think it might slow the thieves down but won't be enough to stop them unless they are going to try the under 5 minute deal again. I don't think they could do a smash and grab again in same amount of time unless they brought bolt cutters next time and if they are as good as I think they are and they plan it they will have bolt cutters................jmho
