  1. I may be misinterpreting some of the posts here, but I read a few as saying that if a restaurant did not send letters of protest or represent us at this last judgment, then they are against us and we shouldn't support them now. IF that is the case, my comment to that would be that these restaurant owners have a lot to do just keeping their business running. Why should they have to go out of their way to support our rights. If we wnat our rights supported, it is up to us to act. That said, how many of US went to bat for this particular issue? Did any attend the hearing, or even show up to the court house? Did any protest outside? Did any write letters to our representatives, or the judge? Did any contact the media and offer up an interview or a letter to the local newspaper editor? If we can't even take action when it is our rights in jeopardy, how can we blame a restaurant owner?
  2. We eat out a lot, and when the law to allow carry passed, I decided I would not darken the door of any restaurant that posted. And with the exception of one time, I have held to that. That said, I don't think any of the restaurants we stopped going to are hurting now. I don't think they even care. I also agree with bkelm, the restaurants we have been going to, that did not post, have been faithful to me and respected my right to carry all along. Why should I turn my back on them now?
  3. Yeah, him grabbing the patches tells me he is not going to go Nomad now. I think they will all rally around avenging Gemma. Nothing brings people together like a common enemy. Remember what happened to the carnival child rapist last season? I'd say the future holds something pretty tragic for Zobel and company.
  4. We're going to need all that income to pay for the taxes our leaders have in store for us.
  5. One thing the OP could have done is gotten someones attention from the doorway and explained the situation. Either allow me to break your rule and come in to pay, or let me walk. Puts the responsibility back on the owner / manager.
  6. http://house.gov/frank/pressreleases/2009/11-04-09-new-credit-card-bill-passes-house.html If this is the bill that the National Park Carry ammendment was added to that will allow us to carry in February, it looks like they are trying to move it up sooner. I seem to remember that the Carry part became law with the Credit Card Reform portion, since they were attached to the same bill. However, I can find no mention of the Carry Ammendment in any of my searches.
  7. OPen the file in Acrobat Reader, adjust the zoom so you see the whole page, then press Alt-Printscreen. Then open any graphics program, such as Paint which is included with Windows, Google's free Picassa, Photoshop, etc., create a new file and press Ctrl-V. This should paste a copy of the whole Acrobat reader Program and .pdf file as a graphic. From here you should be able to clean up the image to remove everything but the .pdf file. If you have Windows 7 (or maybe even Vista, but not sure if it's in there) there is a nifty tool called Snipping Tool. Just bring up the file in Acrobat Reader, zoom to fit the whole page, and run the Snipping Tool. When prompted, outline the text with your cursor, press enter and it will copy the image into the Snipping Tool window, where you will have the option to save as a .jpeg file.
  8. Glad you're coming home. How about some Cake? YouTube - I Bombed Korea
  9. Abdullah Abdullah, a name so great they had to use it twice! I'm kinda on the fence with Karzai, not sure whether or not I trust him. I've read some articles by an author I trust that says he is good intentioned and loves his country / people. But then actions speak louder than words and this election did look rigged.
  10. I know a guy who had a little side business / hobby of collecting and selling skulls. He had several old top loading freezers and had raised colonies of beetles in them. He had such a nice colony, he would even sell the beetles as a side business to the side business. Anyway, after picking off most of the flesh, he'd leave the skulls in the freezers for a week or so and the beetles would go to work. They would eat it clean. Then he would take them out and he would cover them up in some kind of paste he made, I think it was like baking soda and bleach but not positive. He'd work the paste in everywhere, and then wrap it all up in kitchen plastic (Saran) wrap and let it sit for a nother week or so. This would make them come out really white.
  11. Aren't they supposed to back in for a fast getaway?
  12. There was a place in Knoxville called the Casket Store that sold them for way less than a Funeral Home, like $1000 when a FH sold it for $4000. The FH's had a coniption and said they were not licensed to sell them. Actually got an injunction for a while, but I think a judge ruled on the side of the store. Not sure if they are still in business or not now that the furor has died down.
  13. Used to use it to supplement the limited minutes we had with our cell phone after cutting off the landline. Then we got the Comcast VOIP, so I did not need Skype anymore. Now we have neither, since most of the people we call are Verizon users anyway. Skype is pretty cool though. You can sign up for a free account and talk to people computer to computer. If you want to call someone's phone number, you have to pay for a premium account. You still have to use your computer to place the call, so you'll need a microphone. I bought one of those headsets that have headphones and a wrap-around mic as one unit. I also bought a little gizmo from Ebay called an ActionTec Internet Phone Wizard. You plug it into a USB port, then plug in your home phone and you can place calls without the mic/headset. If you use a cordless phone, you can walk around and talk. Your PC does have to be on though. I've also read bout Skype Phones, that will use a wireless internet connection, and does not need the PC. I found sound quality to be way less than great, but acceptable for general conversation. There was some warbles and sometimes a delay and an occasional disconnect.

    Fall color

    I'm colorblind, so the red leaves just look brown and dead to me. I do enjoy the yellow ones though. My wife tells me they are not the prettiest, however.
  15. I take old milk jugs and plastic coffee cans, fill them with water and freeze it. Plain old water leaks out and the fun is gone after 30 seconds. The ice makes an interesting spray every time you shoot it. The coffee cans spray ice upwards if you take off the lid. The lid from the coffee cans are fun to shoot too. If you lay them flat, and shoot an edge, they fly off like frisbees.
  16. Well, we returned from Williamsburg, and I thought I'd answer my own post. I did not see a single "No Firearms" sign the entire time I was there. I looked through the literature, and no mention there either. The entire place is privately owned, so none of the State / Federal rules apply. They do have several Taverns onsite, that sell food and Ale. Did not see any postings there either, but VA laws require OC for places that sell alcohol. We also visited Jamestown. Did not see any postings there either, but there are two seperate places to visit there, one is state run, the other federally run. Didn't want to chance anything here, so I played it safe and did not carry.
  17. Nope, just the ones in blue
  18. We will be heading to Williamsburg, VA next week for a little vacation. Was wondering if anyone had any advise regarding carrying there. Is the park private, State or Federal? Is is posted? Is the town generally carry friendly? Thanks.
  19. They said Juice was going to be OK, no vital organs stabbed. I have a feeling that The fed lady is going to spill the beans to Opie about Clay / Tig killing his wife.
  20. Two kids are in critical condition because of her negligence, and she's worried about her purse with the food stamps in it. Unbelieveable!!!!
  21. Unbelievable!

    Guy Rules

    My policy is to put the seat and lid down. If I gotta put the seat down, she's gonna lift up the lid.
  23. This page has some interesting information: All Discussions - enVTouch.org - LG enV Touch Community Forum
  24. Just use Windows Media Player to rip CD's you already own to .MP3 format. Get a 2gb microSD ram card, format it in the phone, then use a card reader attached to your PC to copy the .mp3 files into the appropriate folder on the card. Can't remember the name of the folder, but it is created automatically by the format, and it was pretty obvious. There is also another folder on the card for ringtones. Just copy .mp3 files in there to use as free ringtones. You can download a nifty (and free) program called Audacity that will let you chop out segments of the .mp3 to make a 30 second ringtone. You don't need a whole 3 minute song, when the phone goes to VM after 30 seconds. Just be sure to save teh 30 second clip as an .MP3. I signed up for the Internet and email feature. I think it was only another $10. I can get my Yahoo, Comcast, and Gmail email sent directly to the phone. Internet browsing takes some getting used to, but it's not unbearable. I don't use it for TGO, but for getting news and weather, it's OK. I've heard there's a hack that you can do to it where you connect the phone to a PC with the USB cable that is on the charger, and the phone becomes a broadband modem. Internet on your PC, thru your phone. It may void your warranty though. I love the phone! Battery life could be better, and it annoys me that the ring speaker is under the flip so it's difficult to hear. But, it does so many other things, it's amazing.
  25. Just came back from Oak Ridge WalMart where I found a rare box of .380 (50 count). The clerck said they had two come in this morning, and someone bought the first box. Whoever you are, thanks for leaving me one. Unfortunately, they were out of everything else I was looking for (9mm, .22 bulk).
