Can't really argue with this at all. I wonder if UT will cancel the homecoming game so as to avoid some more embarrassment for the season.
-
And I've only seen bits and pieces of #2. I do have it on the DVR but just haven't gotten to watching it. Wife moaned and groaned at the violence in #1, so been waiting for her to be gone for the day on a rainy day, but rainy days are FAR and FEW these days. Almost like a unicorn. LOl

Should be more accustomed to a "loss" by that time then shouldn't we. LOL

Not looking all that promising at this point. IIRC, Vandy scored 38 pts against LSU, ranked #4. Either Vandy's got a decent offense, or the #4 ranked team has no defense. Either way it's not looking good for UTK

At least UTK is NOT winning this game, so to speak. LOL https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/arkansas-football/arkansas-sets-embarrassing-2019-record-for-biggest-payout-to-a-school-just-to-lose/?fbclid=IwAR2YNrG6UvHSNCOqlxSwaAaiEs7zDlcOQzN99sZNSFMeW73DzyUlfFHSefA

https://www.guntrustguru.com/faqs Scroll down and you'll see where a woman in TX had a self prepared revocable trust declared invalid (aka not worth the paper used). Does not mention any weapons being seized. Also states that the ATF has not questioned the validity of any gun trusts, but don't know how recent the info in this link is. The ATF cannot just "declare" a trust invalid, only a court of law could make that determination. The author also seems to create some confusion with his wording of "revocable living trust" and a NFA gun trust interchangeably. In my mind, the two should not be used in this manner. A revocable living trust is a legal document just like the NFA gun trust is, but the two have totally different objectives IMO. The two have similar powers, terminology and objectives, and could be created/controlled under one document but only a well versed estate planning attorney familiar with ATF regs should be consulted if this is desired. A "canned" or boilerplate trust document from an online source would create some interesting legal issues IMO. I would use separate lawyers for each purpose but make sure both lawyers are aware of my intentions, so things would be laid out as I desired.

Sounds like the ATF/Liberals/etc/etc won't really be able to compile a list of all gun owners for years, or decades, or longer based on the way the records are received in so many different ways and forms as there is no standardized (required) method for FFL's to track or record their sales. Then the record could go cold because the firearm in question was stolen, given away, etc., The article refers to microfiche machines being used for research, what a joke. That in itself can take hours or days for someone to find what they are truly looking for, and then the micro fiche itself could be in poor shape so the image is not legible, and then those fiche readers are no longer made, so when the bulb burns out, gov't employees will have to hire a contractor to replace, which will have to bid on the contract, etc., The ATF probably has a computer system similar to the IRS, one that is woefully outdated, has numerous software patches, and uses a card reader (Fortran programming) to do some simple function. And if the ATF has a newer/more advanced computer system at it's disposal, what software could they use to compile all of the information from all of those handwritten documents. The ATF would want/need custom software, and how long would that take to get written? I doubt any of us will see any thing close to a "master list" of gun owners in our lifetimes, or our grandchildren.

That's funny. You must be running for an elected position... throwing out those "pie in the sky" promises. LOL

I turned 45 recently and this was the present I got myself
jpx2rk replied to mav's topic in General Chat
I started with corrective lenses in the 7th grade, now wear progressive tri-focals. The only time I don't have 'em on is when I turn out the lights at night, and put 'em on before I take a step in the morning. Go see your eye doctor on a regular basis. I have to go every 6 months for early stages of glaucoma. -
NRA-Domestic Terrorist Organization
jpx2rk replied to AuEagle's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
https://www.aclu.org/other/how-usa-patriot-act-redefines-domestic-terrorism The definition of domestic terrorism is broad enough to encompass the activities of several prominent activist campaigns and organizations. Greenpeace, Operation Rescue, Vieques Island and WTO protesters and the Environmental Liberation Front have all recently engaged in activities that could subject them to being investigated as engaging in domestic terrorism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism Could it be those Bay Area folks are bending the rules to suit their own needs again?? -
I remember the '98 season as well, it was a good year for sure. I just wish UT would be competitive in the SEC and contend for the SEC East title on a regular basis, and make it to the conference title game on a regular basis. Recent history has not shown anything close to that.

He's hoping he gets another chance at the head coaching spot, then when he has to fire himself for poor performance while still being AD, he'll get that separation clause monies on top of the AD salary. Now that would be gaming the system wouldn't it.
-
Maybe UT needs to promote it's football program as the "season opener" patsy or "homecoming patsy", then the azz whoopin's wouldn't hurt so bad cause the program could generate funds for the contract payoff's UT still owes or will owe in the future.
-
Not much to discuss. UT did not show up to play football (again), got out played, out coached, out scored, etc., etc., Gonna be a long long season. Hurry up round ball.

The legal aspect is it's only legal in that state (state level law) , the Feds still look at it as illegal at the federal level. The states are looking/wanting the tax revenue dollars, and maybe, just maybe they reduce one or more of the stats they keep so they can justify making it legal. I wonder what the IRS does with those tax returns when the occupation line states "marijuana producer". Why don't the Feds go bust 'em right then and there. Bet the Feds don't return the FIT checks sent along with those federal tax returns either. LOL

We have 2 pair buzzing our house (I think ??) 2 males with the ruby rings around the throat, and then one female with a spot of ruby red on the throat (didn't know it was M or F until the above post). The other female does not have any ruby on her throat that I've seen, but could be wrong as they don't stay still for long. I seen a total of 5, maybe 6 playing "it's all mine, it's all mine (the feeders), when they all join in it looks like a WWII dog fight, just with supersonic midget fighters. LOL

Yea tho I(she) walk thru the valley of death, I (she) will fear no evil. Will the be EDC for her, or as the need/desire arises??

Never thought it was VOODOO magic in any form or fashion. He's just taking advantage of the availability of easy CC offers, (aka gaming the system) with the rewards the various issuers provide or offer. Most CC issuers are hoping enough people run up/max the CC balance, then can't pay the balance off at the end of the offer period, and have to pay the CC issuer the high interest rates to offset the ones who pay the balance off within the offer period. No rocket science involved at all. Just one of the many reasons people get into financial distress, their credit rating suffers because they overspent on numerous CC's, and then file for bankruptcy.

Are you referring to the bank's liquidity ratio, or the cash held on hand (in the tellers window and vaults) to meet customer demand in their daily course of business. Banks are required to keep/maintain certain levels of cash on hand, along with other liquid assets to meet various banking guidelines. The FDIC insurance is for depositors funds which is considered a liability on the banks books. Cash on hand is an asset for the bank. The FDIC does not "insure" the cash on hand at a bank.
-
OP; Mind sharing when you started this game, and which bank/lending institution(s) you have used???
-
While your credit rating may be over 800, if/when you go to a bank and apply for a mortgage or car loan and they see all of the open credit card accts, you MAY be declined due to the possibility of being over-extended, or at least the ability to be over-extended since all of those accts are open & active. At least you can pay the hospital ER room with 5-10 different CC's, good for you.

A tip I learned is to put a 1 or 2 Liter frozen water bottle in the cooler along with the food/beverage items & ice, they will last a couple days and extend the ice. Even old 16oz coke bottles work as well to preserve the ice.

Leupold vs Bausch & Lomb vs Simmons
jpx2rk replied to 19_A_CPT's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I can't recommend a Simmons for anything but a beginners 22RF so when it gets dropped or kicked, no loss. I would go with the Leupold, I've got a couple of those, good clear scope for the $$. Being out in CO and your scope goes wonky would be bad. Never had a B&L but have read positive comments on that brand. Another one to throw in for consideration would be a Vortex Diamondback, clear glass as well, same price range IIRC as the Leupold, but you should look through all of 'em, and go from there. I have a Diamondback, glass is clear but I don't care for the huge rear eyepiece (IMO). -
I went to the one in Chattanooga a couple months ago, prices are competitive (?) on reloading components IMO, might find some good deals but the selection was good compared to other places. Even had some 8# jugs if that was on the shopping list. Wondered briefly thru the fishing gear, good selection, also had lots of various hunting equipment such as deer stands, clothes, etc., saw some bows as well. Can't say anything on prices on all the other stuff as I don't keep up with that.
