  1. I know I am a little old fashion when it comes to holsters but the one I use 99% of the time is a Tagua Made in Paraguay. It was one of the first holsters I bought many years ago and it still works today very well for me. I seldom if ever dress up so I am normally dressed casually. Blue Jeans, Cut off Blue jeans, T-shirt and if I am going out I throw a darkish dress type light shirt over the top and seldom button it. I have tried a few of the retention type holsters and IWB holsters and just ca't find anything that is comfortable for me. My Model 85 and Thunder both fit this holster very good and with the Thunder I carry 2 extra magazines on my left side in a cell phone case. It just works for me..........JMHO
  2. The day I was at my duaghters I had my double stack model 85 on me and it is not a small gun. It is a little harder to conceal than my Bersa Thunders but not to much with a little more effort...........JMHO
  3. When I go out I am always carrying concealed and I do go out of my way to wear clothes that prevent printing. My son in law carries also comcealed but he is not as concerned about printing as I am. I was over at my daughters house one day and I got up out of a chair to go in the kitchen and he said "Gosh your not packing. I thought you never went out without one of your guns. I turned and raise my shirt and he said damn, I could not tell you had anything". Now he goes out of his way to make sure at every opportunity he can carry without printing. He bought a new holster like mine and bought some new clothing to help. I don't want anyone but me to know I am armed if at all possible............JMHO
  4. I have known several vets that took their own lives. They didn't show many or any signs that they would do something like take their own lives but for some reason in a couple of them I often thought they might and I talked with them about it. They laughed it off and said they would never do anything that stupid and then a week or a month later I get the call. Back years ago I had a few friends that were concerned about me when I lost my oldest son and then my wife which I dearly loved. Friends would ask me litte questions hinting they were concerned. I finally told each of them that I am going to live as long as I can and when I leave this world for the next one it will be when GOD calls me up and not when I decide it's time. I am not a Bible Thumping Christian but I do read it from time to time and when I open it up it seems that I always open it up to a passage in it that I was wanting to read. I also have another issue with suicide. I happen to love myself to much to consider hurting myself. No I am not vain but I am also not stupid either. I have given a lot of thought about all the suicides we are hearing about and I know this may be a reach but if anyone ever listens to those pill pushing commercials many on TV many of them has suicide as one of the side effects. It says if you ever suffer that side effect to call your doctor immediately. How many people can call their doctor and actually get to talk to them right then or do they just sent up an appointment for you to come in to the office. How many never live long enough to make the appointment......JMHO
  5. That is what bothers me about that little fat guy in NK. Since we know how he treats his own people you know he has no respect for anyone else so him having Nukes is definately a concern.....................JMHO
  6. Well, I have no clue what is going on with the birds this year. I have replaced the food in the feeders twice in last 2 weeks but have no birds. Just that retarded woodpecker that thinks he's a Hummingbird. Any one got any birds???
  7. Gosh I thought that would be a tough question!!
  8. Who can name the largest mass murder in history?
  9. A couple notches would not hurt my feelings!!! say to 12 or 14 would be nice.
  10. Well I know how to enlarge the whole page like mentioned above. You can also do it my holding ctrl and rolling mouse wheel but I was just wanting to enlarge fonts and not whole page. By doing that it enlarges some pages to far on other sites.
  11. I found this while doing some googling last evening! Thought some folks may enjoy it! https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/23164-a-list-of-living-pro-gun-actors/?page=2
  12. Half brother may have been better off to give half the Honey bun and half the money to half brother.............
  13. Yep, If it gets any smaller I won't be able to read it. I had catarac surgery planned in February and the Heart Attack, surgery and blood thinners has put all of that on hold indefinately.
  14. The first news story had the home owner guilty of murder because they did not explain that the bad guys were on the porch shooting into the house like the second one did which gives him every right shoot the bad guys till his magazine is empty. The first story just said the bad guys had left the house which would have indicated the threat being over. Thats how easy wrong wording or not enough story can get someone in hot water quick but I am glad it came out for another good guy 2 bad guys 0
  15. Heck I live in Gallatin and I need several guns minimum...........
  16. Well got to meet Cajunpredfan yesterday and had a nice visit. He came up and picked up the 40 Cal Brass. He is a very nice guy and had a nice visit. He showed me a new revolver he has that he has not shot and was going up to Guns and Leather to send some lead down range. Hope he like the gun cause it was kind of a neat gun and felt good in my hand and I think will be a good gun to have. Glad more of the brass is gone and working on getting the rest packed up to ship to RayZ and then I will be able to have folks able to sit on my sofa again..........LOL.
  17. Well can't thank for enough for all the insight into this issue I have with my dog delima that probably is not as much as I think it might be. I live kind of a routine life syle these days and Darby is learning it pretty well. I eat supper pretty close to 5PM and that is when I feed her and she knows when it is close to 5 oclock cause where ever she is at about 15 minute before 5 she will be following me around every move I make. I can look at my watch and it will be close to 5PM about every day. Quackersmacker may be right and I may very well be over thinking and over complicating this whole issue about her food. I want her on a dry food if possible because it is just a lot less religious timing thing. Put food down and when the bowl is empty or close fill it again. Can't do that with wet food. today I will try one of the recomended foods I will pick up at the store and give it a dedicated effort to find the one she likes and my life will be less stressful. Oh Quacker, I went fishing last night on Percy Priest Lake fished 5 hours and caught 31 bass both Largemouth and Smallmouths and had a great evenng. Not bad for first time back on the water in about 2 years.
  18. I have had dogs since I was about 6 years old and like your mine ate anything you put down for them. Kasey was spoiled but that was my fault. This one was spoiled and then put in a dog rescue and almost died so yea I guess I have been spoiling her but if I can just find a food that she will eat everytime I put some down for her I would be totally happy.
  19. I believe that in many cases of murders a lot of how hard to police work to solve them is greatly influenced by how long and hard the main Stream News networks carry it or keep bringing it back up to the forefront to keep people thinking about it. Thing is once they apprehend the perps (murderers) how much evidence is made available to both the Prosecution and the Defense and the onger it takes to catch the bad guys the more there is a chance of evidence being lost, peoples memories fade, eye witnesses have trouble remembering of have died. In a capitol murder case I think the trial should be sooner instead of later while things are still fresh and crisp in people minds. Example (Holly Bobo case) They had the people in custody for at least 2.5 to 3 years before that trials actually began. That is a very long time for a family to have to wait for justice to be served for their loss. That is entirely to long but that is JMHO.
  20. Well she has been to the vet twice and when I got her she weighed 26 lbs on first visit and on second visit she weighed 32 lbs so she is eating enough to gain weight and the vet keeps giving her a clean bill of health. I am thinking now it is more of adjusting for her. I was able to learn a lot about her back ground from her original owner that raised her from a puppy till she was 5.5 years old and she was their baby and they spent a lot of time with her. That is where the stick fetching was taught along with other things. Then they had a baby girl and Darby was no longer the center of their attention and Darby became jealous. They had her about another year and when the baby began crawling everytime it got near Darby she would growl at the baby so they put Darby in the garage till they could fgure out what to do with he and finally put her up for adoption at a dog rescue where she went on a hunger strike and would not eat anything. She went from 38 lbs down to the 26 pounds she weighed when I got her. The Vet at the Dog rescue center had discussed puuting her down if she did not get adopted and gave her 1 week. She was scheduled to be put down on Friday and I adopted her on Wednesday. I do spend a lot of time with her and she loves to ride in back seat of Jeep. Of course right after I got her I had my heart attack so friends were coming to the house taking care of her for me. I do spend a lot of time with her and give her a lot of attention. Tonight will be a real test for her since I have not left her alone for more than 30 minutes or so at a time but she is going to be on her own in the house for about 5 hours. The Vet told me that dogs have no perception of time and I think she is correct since every dog I have eveh had seems as happy to see me when I am gone 30 minutes as I am for 4 hours and I will see tonight I guess. I'm going fishing.
  21. My last two dogs were and are much more spoiled than any of my children ever were but my kids all were bottomless pits when it came to food so getting them to eat was never an issue........LOL
  22. Here is the spoiled brat I'm talking about. In the 3rd picture she is sleeping on her 2nd most favorite toy. He first favorite is just a plain old stick about a foot long an big around as a quarter. She will place fetch with a stick as long as you will throw one.
  23. The diarrhea is an issue I dea with off and on and it was on more than off when I first got her so we made an early vet trip 5 days after I got here. Vet recomended Fortiflora added to her evening meal. She ate it the frst two nights and the third night she walked up and smelled the food and walked away. I have tried a couple times to sneak it into her food but she smells it and walks away. I do have a great vet and we email back and forth often about Darby and she offers a lot of things to try wthout me having to do an office visit. They tested her stool for parasites on our first visit and it came negative. Vet is butting her head against the wall also on her food situation. She gets Home meade Chicken and rice about every morning for breakfast and sometimes she will eat all of it, sometimes part of it and like this morning none of it. The diarrhea is seldom as long as she eats the rice & chicken. The Fortiflora was to treat it but she won't eat it so that was 29 bucks wasted. I will post a few pitures of Darby so folks know what I am talking about.
  24. Most of ya'll here Know I lost Kasey last October after 18 years. Well I have had dogs since I was 6 years old so I went and got another one from a dog Rescue center and her name is Darby She is about 6 years old according to papers I got from Rescue and smart and a whip. Sometimes I think she is smarter than I am. Maybe more times than less. I have an issue with her and I am seeking advice from dog owners. She is a very very picky eater. The food she ate yesterday she will not touch today. Then there will be days she will eat the same food 3 or 4 days in a row and never touch it again. When I got her from Rescue I ask them what food they were feeding her and they said Pedigree Adult nuggets so I bought a 25 lb bag of it on the way home. I still have about 23 lbs left and I have had her since January. She won't eat it but will pick out one piece at a time once in a while and snack on it. I moved her over to the packs of Pedigree wet foods in assorted flavors. For the first couple weeks she was fine with that and all at once she decided she didn't want it any more. I tried Purina Pro wet at 2.00+ a container and for two days she licked the bowl clear and then next night turned her nose up at it. Called the vet and they sent me 4 cans of food in Fedex at 3.59 per can and said it had appetite enhancers in it. She took on bite of it and spit it back in the bowl and would not eat it. I have began cooking for her like I did Kasey. I have a place I can buy chicken breasts really cheap so I have cooked her chicken and rice. One day she will eat it and one day she will eat just plain chicken or maybe not eat it and want dog food. What I am looking for is this. I would like to know what everyone that wants to share feeds their dogs? I'm looking to be able to find the most popular dry foods people have found their dogs like and the most popular wet foods their dogs like. Then I agoing to begin narrowing each field and brand of wet and dry foods and try them out. I do realize I have spoiled her some and it may take a little tough love to get her eating one of two foods regularly but it will be fore her own good. Thanks for ya'lls input into this endeavor.
  25. In the town I live in we have city pick up and you take your city supplied trash can to the street and a truck comes by and empties it. This is a 1 man operation. The truck is designed with a hydralic unit with arms that grab the can, dump it in the truck and places the can back where it picked it up from. What makes me laugh are these people that will take the can down and then take 2 or 3 more trash bags full and put them next to the can. I'm not sure if they have ever seen the trash truck in operation but I do know the truck is equipt to empty cans and not pick up bags cause I have watched it work. I have seen the driver get out of the truck a couple times but not to pick up bags. He will get out of the truck to leave you an ugly note telling you not to put your cans to close together and leave 4 feet between them. I got one once but it was not my fault, we have 3 units and 3 cans and I took my can down and my neighbors took theirs down and they put their cans to close to mine but I got the note left in the lid of my can. I went to get my can and read the note and put it in the can next to mine so they would get the message. Well it didn't work cause next week they did it again. I took mine down and they took theirs down and again the put them close to my can. I went down and moved my can 4 feet from the other 2 and the following day they both got ugly notes and my can was the only one that got emptied. This was an issue because the cans were full and would be no place for them to put their trash. At the time I had a pick up truck and decided it was time to become neighborly and went over and introduced my self. I had only been here a month at the time. I told them to just put their trash in bags and put them by their back door and I would get them. So on Trash day I made sure all of the cans were 4 feet apart and as he emptied a can I would fill it with bags again and the driver was nice enough to wait and empty all the cans and get the bags. From that time on I took all cans down the night before trash day. I had a buddy build me a can toter that could hook two cans at a time and take them to the street that fits in my trailer hitch receiver. Now I use my Jeep. It's about 100 feet from house to street and I have been taking the cans down for almost 18 years.
