When my younger son got married, he and his new bride went house hunting. They both have good jobs and the bank had already pre-approved a home loan. It took them over a year to find a house. Every time they found one they liked, those real estate corporations would swoop in and out bid them. Every single time! They finally had to go to a new subdivision 20 miles out of town and have a house built. So far they're managing, but I worry that it may prove more than they can really afford. There needs to be a law that single family dwellings can only be sold to single families. These corporations are raking in millions while screwing over people who actually need a home.

Open the pictures in paint and reduce their size.

I'm also unhappy with the price of groceries these days. But I'm old, retired, live alone and financially secure. I don't like it, but I do just fine. For those who do struggle, the internet is plumb full of info on how to make every grocery dollar count. You won't eat fancy, but you will eat. But then some people refuse to substitute hamburger for steak. They're also real fond of fast food and restaurants . Much of their problem is in their own dietary habits and tastes. As for mortgages, then you hit upon one of my pet peeves. For individuals, the housing market sucks! Big real estate corporations are buying up single family dwellings all over the country. Often buying sight unseen and for thousands over asking prices. First time home buyers can't compete with that. Or worse, end up buying more house than they can actually afford because that's all there is out there. For many young couples, the dream of buying a home is just that, a dream.

I'll be there!

Actually, it looks exactly like a stainless version of the 4th Issue Police Positive. Check my picture above. That's it on the bottom left. There's also a couple of Diamondbacks in that same pic. 4" .38 and a 6" .22. Yeah, I'd like to see Colt bring those back as well.

For years now the NRA has been sitting on their butts. A new restriction is proposed and they make a public statement denouncing it. Then they do nothing while other pro-2nd organizations actually do the fighting. If our side wins, they're the first to jump up and claim credit. The pistol brace ban is a glaring example. They never even filled a suit until it was a sure thing that we were going to win. Then, when it was struck down, the NRA was all over the news screaming "See what we did!". Just today I got a call from NRA about some new threat or another (Fund raising actually ). I cut the guy off and asked him if they were actually going to do anything about it. He paused not knowing what to say, so then I gave him an ear full!

There are only 3 or 4 companies that make automotive batteries and they supply everybody. Just about all parts store batteries are the same. Just be sure to buy the best they have.

Run is a word that's no longer in my vocabulary.

Leave it alone. A re-finish would hurt that gun's value considerably.

Good boots ain't cheap. They're well worth the price. Your feet will thank you. Check military surplus. Their boots are made for walking. And walking... and walking..... Also check into tennis shoes made specifically for walking. Cheaper and more comfortable. Plus, you don't need to break them in as much. I've got a pair of Vasque hiking shoes I bought back in 1988 when I was a Scout leader. Still have 'em and they're still in good shape. I can't even guess how many miles are on them. Whatever you buy, be sure to wear them daily and break them in good well before your trip. Otherwise, you'll end up with very sore and blistered feet. I've seen it happen too many times.

$20 each.

I never cared for derringers. They're just awkward to handle and cock for me. Too slow to get into action. I shot one once loaded with .38+p. Not an experience I want to repeat.

This is how you stop crime. Quit being victims! Fight back!

If Colt would chamber the new Anaconda in .45 Colt, I would absolutely buy one.

new guy. He seems to be digging up zombie threads and trying to buy guns. Most of the OPs are no longer on here.

I have 4 like new Ed Brown stainless 1911 9mm magazines with bump pads. These are 9 round mags. Maybe used once. Would like to trade for equal quality 1911 mags. Prefer 38 Super, but might trade for 45acp. Otherwise $20 each.

I like Red Lobster, but it is kinda expensive for my budget. I only eat there maybe once or twice a year. I looked and it seems they only closed one in Memphis. Winchester Rd. The one here in Bartlett almost always has a waiting list.

Oh, I get that. That's exactly what happened to me. We were young, two small kids and even though we both worked, things were tight. We managed as long as things went well. But that rarely happened. Something would break, the kids need clothes, yadda, yadda, yadda. Unexpected expenses just came along and always at the wrong time. Back then, credit cards were hard to get. There were long forms to fill out and they actually checked up on you. Many people got declined. I did get a MasterCard which I used sparingly. But then I managed to hit the mother load. I got a Sears credit card! You could get anything you needed at Sears! It saved my butt many times. But it also drowned me in credit card debt. The interest was outrageous! The day I finally paid it off was a huge celebration for me. I canceled the card and cut it up in little pieces with a huge smile on my face. Now days they hand out credit cards to anybody and everybody. They don't care at all. Here, take it, no problem. Enjoy! I can certainly understand how well meaning people can fall into the trap. I was one of them. But I still believe that most people today did it to themselves. Financial responsibility seems to go right over many peoples heads now.

Looks like something was spilled on it. Most soft drinks will do that to a blued gun.

Here's a pic of my meager Colt collection. I'm afraid that they only pic of the Python I have currently. That's it at the top. I hear ya about the S&Ws. I have a safe full of 'em and there ain't a single lock in the bunch. I only have one with any MIM parts. S&W ain't what they used to be.

Those star farts have the potential to do a lot of damage. Look up the Carrington Event of 1859. Then imagine that in today's electronic world.
