Her Chihuahua sleeps on my bed more than I do. Great little foot warmer though. When I get the couch I get the cat, he is a blanket hog.

If she finds the 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor I built to match it I won't even get the backyard. More like under the backyard.

Very true.

Why do we drive on "parkways" and park on "driveways"? Hmm big things to ponder. Could be we are all crazy to some degree? I hate to think the voices are just normal.

I will trade my favorite child for one! Ouch, stop, I was just kidding dear. I don't have a favorite. Thanks, now I get the couch for a week.

Picked up a receiver set here from a member. Turned it into a .243. The scope mount was all i had lasting around. Need a few tweaks but so far I like it.

Too late, some already do. It is not an entitlement. Bottom line for me is that again people are speculating on what will happen. No way either side can say for sure in this case as is true with most things. It is nothing more than political spinning. Both sides think they are right. So time will tell and then they will change it again and blame the last administration. It is a never ending story of our politics.. Bush's fault, Clinton's fault, Obama's fault, ya ya ya.

Another opportunity to get something done right. Always a positive outlook! Now can we take advantage of it or is it yet another we let slip by to make the elected officials more money at our expense?

Well it had been around for a couple years. My cost went sky high. I have one option other than satellite. My data plans on the cell get throttled if I use what they consider too much. In 2010i had an unlimited plan at the fastest level and no throttling. After Obama did good thing it slowed down and cost more. Keep in mind I do not live in the city. Out here we do not get much for choices. That may be why my experience is different than yours or someone else's. Either way it is not going to impact my wallet too much for the next year. I will give it time and see how it goes. If it turns out bad then we can best on them to fix it. Fix does not mean roll back though. Fix it the right way. We all shall see in the future. Until then it is academic and speculation.

People have gotten way past work hard for what you want. Now the entitlement idea has been ingrained in the kids in school and through their college years. Kids complaining they have student loan debt that used most of the money to party. Now they want that debt forgiven? NOPE I got all three of mine through school with no student loans. Now if they want to go further than a bachelors it is on them. They all worked jobs and paid their way. I can see the difference as they work hard to have good things. Too many millenials whining about getting healthcare free, internet free, college free. Hell we can do that no problem. Just raise the tax percentage to 50% and we can do it all. One way or the other you will pay for it. Sad they did not get that in their classes. Nothing in life is truly free.

Ooh, I want the long slide! Those are going to be popular

Preexisting conditions and having your kids on the policy until 26. Lets them get through college and usuall kids are healthy so not a huge cost or impact to the insurance company. Preexisting is a tough one. I am only for it if the person had insurance and had to switchwhen they changed jobs or had another life event. Going without until you get sick then trying to get insurance is a low down thing to do.

Yes I do, but I have not been in an accident or injured myself while doing it. I use it while I am watching the news and morning coffee. I happen to be in IT so I pretty much live online And guess what, it shows. I need to lose weight, my vision is changing to accommodate monitors, and my eating is not the best. So yes we need less. How many kids get out and play anymore? Remember our childhood, we were never in the house during the day.

Nope those have laws in place. Not only are they illegal but also immoral to almost everyone. Beyond that we need to back off and let people live their lives. If it is not harming themselves or others and not infringing on someone's rights leave it alone. Here is the problem, I am for leaving government out of lives. That means abortion (a very hot topic) as well. It is not up to you or I or our government what a woman does with her body. It is between her, the father, and whatever deity they choose to worship. Not s popular vote amongst Republicans though. I personally do not like the idea but it is not my choice to make. I also think we need to to away with most welfare. Not exactly friendly view to Democrats. Less government, we should not have anyone telling us how to live. Now we have to have some rules and laws of course but the Fed needs to be pruned back. The states in some cases do also. Don't think just because you have a view on something it is how it should be. That is why we are where we are. Folks vote down the list for d or r because it is the "Party Line". In other words, sheep need to shed and grow teeth. Net rules are not needed yet. We need more choice not just 3 or 4 big companies. Let them stand on their own without regulating it. I think the better way to do it is let it be and competition will help get it right. If anyone had a choice would they stay with att, or Comcast? Nope, they are terrible. That is what we have it does not work get rid of it and try something else if that does not work then try plan c.

It is one thing to scream to get rid of something because Obama did it and another to just want less government. I see a trend still here where the left leaning folks best on Trump for everything and the right leaning folks do the same towards Obama. Until folks can get beyond that there is no hope of meaningful change. Just spinning the wheels. Have you learned nothing from the last few decades. Stop drinking the Kool aid. I am for less government, a lot less. That is not in line with what the left wants. So I disagree with them. I like a few things Obama's team did. However I still think there is some underlying agenda on the part of the Democrat party. The other side needs to get out of people loves also, they are not any better. Stay out of people's bedrooms and trying to legislate morality. As for the net thing. I am off the mind it was not needed before and will show that as we get further down the line. Most of the folks I know including me have no real choices on providers other than two maybe three. All of them suck on price and service. Not to mention less internet would be a good thing for our society.

I saw no good changes anywhere since it was brought to life. My costs went up and my data was throttled. Let's see how it turns out. Thus is unlike a lot of other changes, we should be able tell fairly quickly and push to reverse it later if needed without too much pain. Both sides are spinning it of course. One as great and the other OMG we are all going to die. Not sure myself how this one comes out.

^^^^ That! Do it now and you will be all set when you change loads or even altitudes.

Not sure you will find less snide remarks anywhere anymore. They tend to be everywhere these days. Too many smart phones and dumb humans.

They could also state that the 2nd amendment "Shall not be infringed" means there are no qualifications or restrictions beyond the usual felon, domestic abuse, standard disqualifications found on the current 4473 basically. Chances are we all know how that would turn out. A long protracted court battle to determine if the states have the right to hold higher standards than the feds. Just because a bill can be said to go one way does not mean it is completely bad. A few tweaks to keep the gun grabbers at bay and settle the points of discussion and it would be good. I would be happy if they tabled it until those points are worked out as long as they do it and not stand around and talk about it all darn year. It will be an interesting fight once it gets to the court. Basically they get to decide if the US constitution can be overruled by the states. Hah, let the head exploding on both sides commence now.

Breathe deep. Count to fifty. Move on. Merry Christmas to all!

I was born and raised in Manchester. Very near Tullahoma. Mom still lives in Tullahoma. I am there about once a month. Very nice area to locate to.

Went a few months ago. Was not too bad. There was no ATM on site. Bring cash.

Back in the day when I was a range offier for a well known AR Manufactureer I ran into something similiar. While running a course of fire for an event we had several local LEO attend that wanted to get into IPSC shooting. Great, gave them the tour, explained how things ran, safety brief, then away we go. first couple guys did OK, did not shoot worth a darn but did not hit anyone either. 3rd guy comes to line, Shooter ready? Nods, timer goes off, shooter draws, click! Shooters stares at gun for a minute, looks to see if there is a mag, pulls trigger again! Nothing. Racks slide, pulls trigger again, click! Again. Drops mag, racks slide (Yes, he got the order right!) Looks at round, no mark on primer. Looks at me and says "Well I guess I am done." Major issue with this was.....wait for it.....It was his everyday duty gun! Lord only knows how long it had been broken. So yes I take a couple shots every yeare before season as you never know which gremlin got in the safe last.

At my age it is the one on the bottom!

This. Doing it again will not help. Sorry.
