After about an hour on the site tonight, it feels natural and normal. Looks really good. I did notice that if I click "New Posts" at the top of the page, it shows me new posts, but it always says "Page 1 of 5" when I really have way more than 5 unread pages of posts. Also, I am colorblind, and the colors of the icons that represent a forum that has unread posts or no unread posts, looks very similar to me. I can see a difference, but I have to look hard and concentrate. No biggie, just thought I'd mention it. Could just be my monitor too. Excellent job, though!

I've been thinking about devising some kind of thing that holds a shotgun shell (with the shot removed) has a firing pin and a trip wire placed across the trail, just to warn about yahoos like this. I back country camp a lot, and am a pretty sound sleeper. I'm not worried about critters messing with me, but I do about crazies. I'm just not sure about the legalities of a blank shot shell going off in a place like a National Forest.

FAIL!

I keep saying it, Church and Guns are protected by the First and Second Ammendments of our Constitution. Give up one freedom, and next you'll be giving up the other. If you love the right to go to Church, then you better love the right to carry a gun there too. I carry every weekend to church, and the pastors know I do too. We have uniformed officers that patrol and assist with traffic (big church) and they have seen me carrying. They just wink and smile.

The congressman kept saying he had a "Right" to know who the students were. Not sure where that particular right comes from, but I'm not aware of it. However, who these two young men obviously were, was American citizens, for who this congressman swore to represent, and defend the Constitution for. In my mind he broke that oath and should step down.

A guy at work just came back from the FL panhandle area and said there was no oil anywhere. Also said that the place was like a ghost town, because everyone was assuming there was oil. My advice is to call around down there and verify. You may find you get a nicer, quieter vacation. You also may be able to negotiate prices a little better, as they are all desperate. Plus you may just help them out.

I have the Ruger Mark III, and it is a beast to disassemble. There are a few very helpful websites that will walk you through every step. If you can follow the directions, you'll have no problems. I'd recommend getting the .22 first, and before your class if possible. The State does not care which gun or what caliber you qualify with on the test. Having a .22 to take the test over your .38 is going to be a slam dunk. You'll easily score close to if not exactly 100%. My Ruger is very accurate. One of my favorite thigs to do at the range is chase a golf ball with it. I can easily hit it out to 30 yards with this pistol.

I have the Aegis Tanto, and I love it. It felt a bit too big at first, but I have gotten used to it. It clips well in my pocket, but is easy to remove. I kept losing my old knife because the clip kept getting caught on stuff and pulling it out of my pocket. I also have the Seal Pup, but I have never used it. It sits in my BOB in my truck. It sure is pretty though.

Next time you take your rent down, have a printed letter saying the dishwasher is broken, and the landlord acknowledges that you have informed him by signing the letter. This should keep you out of trouble at the end of your lease if they say you broke it. It also puts the LL on notice that you have something in writing in case it comes to a legal resolution.

My belief is that all church-going people should embrase carrying. In our constitution, the only thing more important than being able to own and carry a firearm, was the right to free speech and free religion. If you allow the second ammendment to be eroded, what's to stop the first ammendment from going away too?

Think about these Hollywodd stars: They earn their money my making us believe things that are not true. Basicly, they are professional liars. And they get us to pay them to do it!

Well, that's even more reason the tactic will be ineffective. The lawyer has his own agenda. Getting lots of people to call / harass him is not going to change his mind. So, he got a few people together, probably paid them or gave them some kind of perk, and they agreed to put their name on some piece of paper. They either truely believe this anti crap, or they prostituted their beliefs for a bag of silver. Either way, they don't represent the rest of the hardworking folks across this state. You offer up something shiney, you can find someone to take it. Again, I say we need to bring the fight to these people, not the folks who had nothing to do with it, and have zero power to change it.

The lawyer works for his PAYING client. Other than getting even more pissed off and doubling his efforts, he won't give a flip if 10,000 servers call his office to complain, they aren't paying him. In my mind, stiffing the server just added one more person to the anti column. If you want to do something constructive, you have to fight fire with fire. Get involved, raise money, hire your own lawyer, pay for an ad campaign. This is the lengths the enemy has done. We got to meet them on their turf. Make an ally of your server. Tip them good, and attach a pamphlet to it. They work for the person who ows the place. Word will get back to the boss, and we may have another ally. Not tipping is the lazy way out. By doing that we really haven't DONE anything.

Just had to renew my drivers license for the first time in I don't know how long. The bill said $37, and I thought OK, not so bad. I went online to pay it and they itemized the bill: $2 (processing fee) $17.50 (drivers license) and another $17.50 for my motorcycle endorsement. Just exactly why do I have to pay double for the privilege of driving a motorcycle? They should be giving me a discount on the fact that a motorcycle is very fuel efficient and is "green". I can see adding a few dollars to cover the cost of extra processing, or the one-time ever test you have to take, but double? It's like I had to get two seperate licenses. I keep full coverage on the bike and against other drivers if I have an accident. I also have excellent healthcare insurance. So, it's not like the state is going to get stuck with any bill I may owe. It's not about the money. Like I said, I thought $37 was OK, untill I found out what every one else pays. OK, I feel better now.

This kid's loot really stands alone.

Sounds to me like he had to pepperJACK his lunch.

Why, exactly, is that? Is it because leagal carriers of handguns have such a bad record of carelessness?

Ha! You expect these clowns to actually take the time to learn something? They can't even be bothered to read a ten page bill from AZ about illegals, or a bill that will cost taxpayers a gazillion dollars for healthcare and affect our way of life forever. Maybe someone could work up a cartoon and put it in MAD Magazine, it appears that is the only literature they ever read!

Somebody please post the link to the page where the shirt is for sale and there are all the comments about it's powers.

Boy, if that doesn't sound like boilerplate text. You could use that to reply to any topic at all, no matter your position. Why bother with actually replying back with a resonably thought out, personal response when you can just have some lackey spew these out one after another. Disgusting!

You could tell he was frustrated, and at the end it was like he had just given up even trying. It also looked like every one of those men were in cahoots to intentionally snub him.

From the GSM Home page... OK, not really

I just saw the "Eat the SIM-Card" trick on 24 last week. Is that some new fangled terrorist technique they are teaching all the kids these days?

I bought a MSR Hyperflow water filter for backpacking. It's supposed to filter everything but chemicals. A cartridge is good for a 1000 liters, which I guess would go quick with a family of 4. You'd have to only use it to filter drinking and cooking water. It's really small and light, costs just under $100, and would be a great addidion to your bug-out bag when you're not using it. It also filters water really fast. One of the fasted on the market. All the others I tried took forever to filter a gallon of water, and your arm felt like it was going to fall off when you finally got there.
