  1. This can be done only when a patient is in pain. What I was getting to in the op was someone that was not in pain but could not do anything for themselves and didn't want to live like that.
  2. Here’s a nice controversial subject. I read an article a while back about another country that has legalized this and at the time didn’t think too much about it, but a case of a Florida hospital not recognizing a man’s “Do not resuscitate” tattoo on his chest jogged my memory about it. After giving it more thought, I’m beginning to warm to the idea. Before someone gets too upset, I’m not talking about putting down Granny when you get tired of caring for her but having the legal right to choose for yourself. I know that there’s some that would be against it because of religious beliefs and I do respect that. For reasons I won’t go into right now, I was a frequent visitor at a nursing home for a number of years. There seemed to be two types of residents there, those that were lying in their beds looking at the ceiling waiting to die and the ones in wheelchairs waiting for the time when they would be confined to bed so they can look at the ceiling. The one thing they all had in common is no one was happy, not one single smile from anyone. I’ve tried to imagine what it would be like to be totally disabled and unable to do anything for myself, whether it be the results of an accident or a debilitating disease, and I wouldn’t want to live like that. I think that a person should be allowed to put into their Living Will a statement something along the lines of: “When I reach the point where I can no longer fill in the blank (feed myself, bath myself, go to the bathroom by myself, etc.) I wish to have my life terminated” and have it honored by law. One big obstacle, along with a few others, would be finding a doctor that would carry out the task because of the Hippocratic Oath they take. Ok, I’m going to go hide in my bunker so I won’t get hit by any bricks being thrown my way.
  3. I had a friend that would carry his weapon in his hand when he went out to get the morning paper or mail.
  4. I think folks are getting fed up with all this. Videos and photos posted on social media late Saturday in California showed a strong turnout for what was billed as a "Curfew Breakers" protest against Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest coronavirus mitigation orders. Images showed demonstrators -- many with American flags or Trump 2020 flags -- reveling in what seemed like a New Year's Eve-style celebration. Passing vehicles could be heard honking in support. At a simultaneous rally in San Clemente, Calif., demonstrators were seen gathered around a fire, with members of the crowd tossing protective face coverings into the flames. "Burn that mask! Burn that mask!" crowd members were heard shouting. After Newsom issued his order, several California sheriffs said they had no plans to enforce the curfew. "We've got a lot of things to do, including taking guns away from gang members, stopping narcotic trafficking, and saving children from internet predators," Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said during a video briefing Thursday afternoon, according to Fresno’s FOX 26. “We’re not gonna make criminals of normally law-abiding citizens.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/huntington-beach-protest-expected-against-californias-coronavirus-curfew
  5. I saw the same video and considered making one for my tumbler but what I have works fine for handgun brass. I seem to recall him saying it required a specific type of PVC though.
  6. Let us know when you're back home so we can have a drink to celebrate. I'm getting thirsty so make it quick.
  7. So.......you want to be hooked on reloading and casting I don't know which addiction is worse.
  8. I've done my part by contacting (e-mail) my reps in Nashville asking they back this bill because of the current unrest in the country. I also recommended it be given a lot of thought and worded very specifically so there is very little room for error. We have members scattered over the entire state so just about every rep. should be contacted. It may or may not do any good but it won't hurt to try.
  9. They need to get this passed ASAP. If President Trump somehow pulls out this election we're going to need as much law on our side as possible.
  10. I've got this one from Harbor Freight. If cleaning small brass ( 9mm ) you can do about a 100 in each container. I usually fill mine about half full so the number will vary with the size of the cases.
  11. I agree wholeheartedly.
  12. Yep...... that be a fox
  13. The wood is going to have to dry first and you can figure about 1 year per inch of thickness in a normal atmosphere. You also need to treat the ends to prevent splitting.
