Biggest Finest Revolver.....kinda

If I was going to take a 10mm, it would be with as many solid non expanding bullets as I could fit into a gun.

I almost put one together. Ended up doing a Christensen arms mpp and getting a stamp. Got the stamp back a few weeks before it was announced I could get one for free. LOL

I've been thinking of you Daughter all day.

As far as anyone can tell, it's Macrophage activation syndrome. There is one glaring detail that doesn't follow MAS. It stopped. It shouldn't have. This is what happened when her blood was attacked a few years back. It also just stopped. She will not be officially diagnosed, but it has 99.9% of all the other hallmarks. We took her and my two youngest boys for a walk at Yanali park this morning. I pushed her in a stroller that's big enough for a small 12 year old. It's been a good day.

Her enzymes are below 1700 now. They were 3400ish. They should be 10-20, but they are much better. Liver inflammation has started to decline. Her kidneys are out of the danger zone and approaching normal. She started taking phosphorus supplements today, but other than that she's just getting her regular medications. Whatever made her immune system attacked her liver has apparently stopped and everything is trending back to normal. I'm not a religious person, though my Wife is...I really appreciate everyone's prayers. It means a lot. She was not expected to survive and we were told as much. My Wife is doing much better and feels like she can breathe however I'm probably going to be sleeping alone for at least a week. I get a bit unusual when I sleep after she has issues. It's always after though. Drinking always helped, but I have all but stopped that. Thank you everyone.

First good day shes had since this started. We are doing blood work every other day. Her enzymes are down to 130-140 times normal. Liver inflammation numbers up slightly. HLH came back negative. They have absolutely no idea whats causing it. They are not treating it for fear of making it worse. All the tests have contradictory information. She had the same type of issue a few years ago, but her immune system attacked her blood instead of her liver. The only thing they did was several blood transfusions until it stopped. My Wife looks better today. She feels like she can breathe again.

She's had a liver biopsy, a CT, an MRI, a spinal tap. Negative for leukemia. We are home without any medication. Monday we start steroids. It'll be 2 weeks before the test for HLH comes back. Her liver is failing. She can't survive chemotherapy. She's not a candidate for a liver transplant. Chemo and stem cell is the only treatmlent for HLH. That would give her a 30% chance. I don't know what to tell my boys or my oldest daughter. They said she'd never walk, talk, eat. We made that happen. I spent 8 months teaching her to walk. 1 year on eating solid food. She was never supposed to make it past 7 or 8. She's 12. Her biological mom was keeping her locked in a closet. I make problems go away for a living. I can't fix this. I'm angry. I want to break ####. I want to start a fight with someone. I really don't care if I win or lose. Everyone tells me they understand. They don't have a ####ing clue. We are just hoping for a diagnosis that is more forgiving. I'm not a good person, but my Wife is an angel. I hope she makes it through this.

I've been at Vanderbilt children's hospital all week. They think it's HLH.

Back in the day of dial up internet, my email address was randomly chosen. Alleycat72 was it. I'm know by Devil in some places. 207883 in 2 places. Peter in other places. I've got a buddy that goes by Spook. Always thought that was cool as S÷$&. He has a crazy history.

Doesn't matter what's going on. Just get it done. Please

Selling the old truck is fun. It's a $3500 truck. Yes there's some issues. No it's not perfect. LOL

Not to this level. They will empty machineguns in to an unarmed guy. Collateral damage be damned.

The police can legally shoot you in the back if you run in Brazil.

That's a but unusual. I've seen guys put cuts in brass for competition. The use so that that case is always fired in the same orientation.

Have a buddy that tried to quit smoking during desert storm. They gave him a little pill for it. A few days later he was taking to some guys and told them he'd see them after he went and shot the CO. He said it seem completely normal at the time. He was locked up for 3 days to let the drug clear his system and told to never take that again.

That one may be true...LOL

They make guns and suppressors. ??

A good airsoft rifle will kill a bird.

A M16 and a M249. LOL

My Wife got a 2018 Toyota Sequoia around a year ago. She really likes it, but we had a Nissan NV3500 for a trade. We had to get the Jeep outright. Kinda painful. LOL. Now I've got to sell the old truck. I'm not looking forward to that.

Well the search is over.......and the winner is . . . . . . . .

I refuse to divulge the identity. LOL

Close. They said is was fun. Everything was paid including an expensive dinner. They were paid $500 each. One of them backed out. JS had a backup actor to take his place. They also said JS was a really nice guy.

Hate to say it....I had a relative on that show.
