This is a great idea. I would recommend submitting these reviews to Google's own Google Places as well as Trip Adviser. Reviews from both of these sites come up almost automatically when you search for places to eat using an Android smart phone or an iPhone.

When did a denim jacket become a bullet proof vest?
TGO David replied to Will Carry's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Disagree. The law enforcement community is a better indicator of what works on a daily basis in the sort of settings you are likely to be exposed to. Unless you are personally somehow bound by the Geneva Convention in respect to ammo choice, or the government issues you your weapon(s), your own gear selection shouldn't necessarily be swayed by what the military uses. And as for the Russians in their big heavy coats... logic would seem to dictate that the South Pole parka worn by the hoodlum holding you up at the ATM has very little in common with the construction of whatever garments the Russians were wearing during WWII. All things being equal, nothing here is equal. -

TGO David replied to Will Carry's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Let's not get into the business of proliferating anecdotes. I've got friends who have told me all manner of bull**** before. It doesn't make it true. -
After looking through the photos, it's obvious that a lot of effort went into organizing this. Grill, food, tables, fun... a job well done. Congrats!

You're right, actually. Sorry to be such an annoyance. Now if only I had done it 1000% more, it'd probably be a fair comparison... but it's an accurate accusation none the less. Back to your regular circle Jacking. /out

Will Tapatalk work with the new forum software?
TGO David replied to KahrMan's topic in Feedback and Support
Wow I just looked at my last reply and realized that I totally hosed the multi-quote. My was actually a follow-up to Daniel's reply. Before that was supposed to be a worthwhile response to the question at hand. Sorry for that. Technology made me look like even more of an ass than I normally make myself. -
Post #8... didn't take long at all.

Wednesday Morning Will Be A Good Day!

I'll drink to this. -
The city of LaVerge itself sucks but the part he's talking about is the Industrial Park which isn't so bad. Just very... industrial. LaVergne proper can be thought of as the DMZ between Antioch (gangville) and Smyrna (a nice place to live). It is a nice buffer therefore I'm glad it is there, however I wouldn't want to live in LaVergne. Period. There are nice parts of LaVergne, however, but unfortunately they suffer from the stigma of being part of LaVergne. I know several folks who live right across the Smyrna / LaVergne line and claim to be Smyrna residents even though they aren't technically. Sadly their property value doesn't reflect their personal beliefs.

Have you considered Lebanon / Mt Juliet? Both are in Wilson County. You're going to pay less for both real estate and on property taxes out there than you will in either Williamson or Rutherford counties. If I were to move inside the mid-state area right now, I would be looking at those places. Not to pick a bone with Mustangdave or anything, but Cane Ridge is still Antioch no matter how much the residents don't want it to be. They have made strides towards turning it into a very nice "Green Zone" (their own schools, their own post office, their own ZIP code) but the fact remains that prior to about 6 years ago it was all Antioch. What would help most would be a nice perimeter of concertina wire between Cane Ridge's very pretty upscale neighborhoods and the rest of Antioch. Maybe a moat. With a dragon. I'd seriously look for land along the SR-840 corridor between Rutherford and Wilson counties. Easy access to Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, Murfreesboro and Smyrna. Easy access to I-24 and I-40 for trips elsewhere. Lots of open space out there.

You don't feel stupid in the slightest referring to Jack in this way given that no one here has ever said that he shouldn't be referred to by name? Please. Have a good meet. Hopefully Jack can keep physical conversations on-topic.

True. I hate downtime, especially unplanned downtime.

Doesn't look like it was hosting related. Looks like the backup script failed. I have it coded to close the forum before the backup and open it after the backup. It failed and then never re-opened.
-
Well, there was no way I could have even known about it or fixed it since I was driving from Oklahoma at about 4:30am and didn't stop driving until about 3:30pm when I made it back to middle TN. Sorry it was down for you guys.

Not with vBulletin. Perhaps just a list below each photo?
-
You're the playinist' playa I know, Strick.
-
So who's who in the pictures?
-
Hmm... if there was a vBulletin maintenance notice there may have been an issue with our nightly backup script. I'll look into it.

You know, I just don't get it. 99.99999% of the people I am around on a daily basis outside of my immediate family and friends have no knowledge of the fact that I carry, nor should they. My gun is not who I am. I do not broadcast it, I do not flaunt it and I do not talk about it or firearms incessantly Maybe this makes me a poor posterchild for the right to carry, or maybe not. Perhaps just the opposite. My choice to carry a handgun is personal to me. It's not a showpiece and it's not a discussion starter. Carrying it is like carrying my car keys; a non-issue and a foregone conclusion. I don't even think about it anymore, and consequently I don't 'telegraph signs' to other people that it's on my person. No tugging down my shirt, no adjusting my belt, no patting my pocket to make sure it's there. It just is. Like a pocket knife or a wallet or some loose change. It's - just - there. I'd no sooner discuss my firearm than my underwear with a party of whom I wasn't 100% positive of their 2nd Amendment acceptance. It's my business and not theirs. Hell I don't even get into carry-issue conversations with folks unless I know their intentions before hand. Too many people go on fishing expeditions just to start drama or worse, so I prefer to know what I'm stepping into before I open my mouth. Honestly I think a lot of people could avoid a lot of headaches by volunteering a lot less information to others.

Huh? It must be the provider again. I'll have to email and see if they had a scheduled outage that they forgot to tell me about.

Looks like you all had a great time. Sadly I was probably just this side of Memphis driving back toward the mid-state area when this was going on, otherwise we'd have been there as well. Let's try to get something together for November.

Question answered. Thread closed.
