Patton

I'll definitely consider going larger, space isn't too much of a concern but locating it to the deck and backyard may complicate the situation. I have a terrible back and sit in the ones at the gym all the time, I honestly have to make trips to the hot tub just so I can make it to work. The hot thumb is more of a necessite than a luxury, I tried and tried to get a doctors note so I could write it off as a medical expense but I couldn't get a doctor in board to do it. I can't wait any longer and the wife wants one anyway.

For years I have been thinking about a hot tub for the house, nothing big, something like a 4 person. It will be outside and not under cover. So who has bought one in the last few years? Where did you find the best deal? I am around Chattanooga but I can always justify a trip to Knoxville.

He was a cop at Erlanger when they had certified police officers, according to a source close to him he was involved in a shooting there but was cleared.

Truthfully, yes I would too, but wait till you can afford it or have a lot of money saved. It does cost me about 1.5 times as much money to own a home almost the size of the apartment I had. Even though I will one day own this home I am glad I waited until I could afford it.

They were terrible.

Pretty much and that last part is the story of my life.

I went back and read your post again. You want to put your equity down on another car, this never turns out for the better in your situation. You honestly will have not come out any better. And the bank will view it the same while getting pre-approved. If anything it will show as an inquiry and a new loan, not freeing up enough debt to income ratio to matter.

I have bought and sold many of my vehicles, many with a loan on them. I actually made a great living selling cars in my early 20's. You are fortunate the lien holder is local, it makes life so much easier. Like someone else has mentioned never think of a "cheaper vehicle" really being a cheaper vehicle. Since you already own this vehicle my advice may be to keep it as long as it is a solid vehicle and meets your needs. Here are some things that come to mind, with a few exceptions cars over $8-10k are extremely hard to sale private party, I don't care what KBB or NADA says. You have already payed tax on the fusion, buy selling it you will lose that money and pay tax on another unless someone gives it to you. You may spend more on a different older vehicle you are not familiar with. If that $230 a month is really that much money to you then you may be a ways off from home ownership.

There was an old one fall at the Hamilton County Courthouse a year ago, Osage Orange is the more common name.

If I recall correctly to be covered under LEOSA you only have to have only 10 years to be considered "retired". I know of at least 3 departments that he has worked for and what would matter would be his standing at that last department which was in East Tennessee. I work with some guys that know him, they are in shocked at what happened. I have talked to him on the phone before many years ago. He seemed like a great guy like everyone says he is. This is truly another tragedy, for both parties just like several of the other shootings to occur in our area. The last shooting to occur around here I also knew the shooter and the victim, I am actually having a hard time with all of it. After looking into this latest one I am inclined to believe he was not justified in any way, in fact I am going to guess that his medical complications will come into account as to why he may have done this. Sources close to him tell me he will probably dead before this case even goes to a grand jury. Makes me even wonder if he had just came from the doctor and had the bad news and the fitness trainer(victim) got under his skin to where he said screw it and blew him away.

Double post

Doesn't technically need one if he is a retired cop, better yet I believe he is a HCP instructor.

We had a road rage shooting this morning in Chattanooga at 9AM, the victim died. Edited because an ER room nurse gave me bad info, liberals stop at nothing to try to get a point across.

Not to mention we have devices made in China that autocorrect or typing.

For me spelling has always been a challenge, it even runs in the family. General Patton was even known to be a terrible speller. I have the most trouble with common words and refuse to look up every single word to ensure it is correct. Having lived in Hawaii where speaking Pidgen is considered an art made me more comfortable with writing and typing. I do not feel so judged. I was once scalded for my misuse of a word but had to turn around and interpret Japanese for that person. While I have noticed the extreme difficulties in writing the English language lately it is not an isolated incident. The art of reading and writing Japanes characters will completely be gone in 20 years. Languages change, they evolve, and they adapt. In the fast moving society of the future they will laugh at our vacabulary and spelling, other societies already do. Interesting is that there really is not a misuse of a word in Japanese, nor is their profanity. You may use the wrong pronounciation of the word but if you can read or write it the word is correct.

I have a LCR and believe that it is an excellent firearm, my only complaint is that I often short stroke the trigger. I don't really see the point in having one in 357mag but I would love to have one chambered in 327mag or even 9mm if they ever make them.

I read the obituary, momma has about nine more.

Here is the thing, the used market is flooded with used M&P 40's, even a few compacts, for under $400 OTD. Atlanta PD got rid of their M&Ps(2500~) and a few others did as well to include a large department in Ohio. I understand wanting a new one but if you wanted to get rid of it you would be stuck with it.

Pearce has extensions for the Shields now. http://www.pearcegrip.com/Products/Smith%20&%20Wesson/PG-MPS

All indications is that it is a .380 but it would make better sense of it were a 9mm based off of the M&P Shield.

I have sold just about every cc Glock holster I have ever had except for my Glock Sport Combat holsters, and they only cost about $12. I do have a Safariland ALS but it's not really the best cc carry holster out there, I did the IWB tuckables for awhile but got annoyed with them.

Not that it should matter but the victim is of the same race, I believe I read somewhere he is actually in the software/computer business.

Are you talking abou the victim Jaden Archer? Googling his name makes me believe he has lived in Chattanooga his whole life.

Two thugs try to rob a 35 year old in Chattanooga at a Bi-Lo parking lot when they meet to sale some tablets off of craigslsit and it does not go well for them. http://www.chattanoogan.com/2013/12/10/265194/Man-Shot-At-Bi-Lo-Parking-Lot-Taken.aspx

I recently sold a Glock 26 Gen 4 w/3 mags for $475 and it took several days, so 450-475 is about right on.
