I am getting tidbits from the white house twitter feed.   "The only way we can change is if the American people demand it." —President Obama   Hopefully he is right but for the wrong reason.

Please do. I am sure the news sites will eventually put up a transcript but I can't wait! Keep the play by play coming!

I think one of the problems is that Big O keeps throwing around the term "majority" when referring to the folks wanting a gun ban. He has everyone (that get's their news from the news) convinced that it's true. He knows that this statement is true and is trying to keep morale down. MY morale is high but I am a little nervous.

So when is this supposed to air again?

I think you have forever changed the way folks will look at you on here! :rofl:   This would be hilarious though.

I have a feeling tomorrow (or this afternoon) will be an interesting day. We will finally see where all our reps stand on the 2A after this speech.   Also :up: to Joe Carr.

You are not alone. I really don't know what to think. On the other hand though. It does give me a certain amount of relief to know that some state governments are willing to fight this. Another thread was just started with TN's own bill of defiance.

I think you are confusing using common sense and exercising good judgement with "sitting on your butts". I would love to go but work will not allow me to take off. As some have said on here they will be going but at the first sign of a group of "Rambo's" showing up they will be outta there. If you think for one minute that there is a lack of genuine concern for this country and our 2A rights on TGO then I am afraid you are mistaken. Many things could go wrong with this and it also might go without a hitch. The fact stands that there are idiots with guns out there and a lot of them may be in attendance. Don't judge everyone here on the mere fact that they choose not to participate.

Welcome!

Mine are all gone again. Every time I put one on my vehicle I sell it. With my current money plan though I should be hanging on to this truck for a long while.

yep

Me either. There is enough meat in this portion of the story that they could have ran it clean through the holidays. I know that's not why they chose not to but still. Kind of a buzzkill for me.

Welcome!

Awww mannnn. Before I got a chance to look at it! Wonder what rule he broke? Or if they just didn't like the message he was trying to send?

Like a $100 class haha. I thought it was kind of counter productive to spend money right off the bat for a class to tell me to save money. If motivation is all he offers then I may just pass. I'll throw a few bucks his way once I get the debt paid off to say thanks though. We are at what I would call the tipping point. We aren't struggling to pay any bills or anything, pay our tithe faithfully every month and don't have too much crap we don't need although one could argue buying a motorcycle to save summer mileage on a truck is stupid. We just waste way too much money on fun stuff that could be paying off loans early.   In my immediate case I don't see how any more credit could be beneficial. We have two cars and a house we are likely going to be leaving anytime soon so we won't need it for those purchases. When I sat down last night and did a real budget I was pretty much ashamed at how much we blow.

I am almost thankful I didn't follow through with college for this reason! Good for them.

You make good points Rusty. As I and you pointed out, most Americans (myself included)lack that self control. I am young and when my wife and I really started making money we wanted to spend spend spend. I am just glad we have realized the error of our ways.   One additional question since we are talking about credit scores. If I have a credit score in the 700's now and I cancel my lines of credit will my score go down significantly over time?

This is kind of what I was thinking. Nothing wrong with doing what Rusty is suggesting but I personally would rather not have that temptation there. Call me weak willed but it is what it is.

American Horror Story finally came back on. Now if I can get Walking Dead, Duck Dynasty and Mad Men back my TV schedule will be complete once again.

Kahr PM40 and iPhone. Extra mag for the PM40 extra iPhone at home haha.

I agree Sam1, it's not like we don't already now this stuff. I guess it just helps to really have it all structured. I may look into the emeals thing.   We are pretty close to your situation. We make good money for our age but don't ever seem to have money left over for savings. We have two nice vehicles that will last a long time(with two nice loans), a nice motorcycle (another loan) and another small loan I will be knocking out this week. It's kind of overwhelming when you just add up how much debt I'm in but I figure if we do it right we can have it all but the house paid off in about 2 years. I plan on cancelling any lines of credit I have open and following the advice of my grandparents that always seem to be right; "If you don't have the cash don't buy it".

The wife and I and decided to get ourselves out of debt. We aren't broke or anything and pay all of our bills but we do waste a lot of money on eating out and buying whatever we want. I know Dave Ramsey kind of re-invented the wheel here and it's just common sense to make a budget and stick to it but he has lot's of helpful advice and ways to go about really sticking to a budget and getting out of debt. His "envelope methods" seem to be a good way to get you attached to your money and make it harder to let go of.   I am wondering if anyone has any experience with his classes and can tell me if they are worth the money. Our first goal is to get completely out of debt with nothing but recurring monthly bills and the house note left. Also any discussion on the matter of saving,investing, getting out of debt,etc. is welcome. Thanks!

Welcome!

Was there a game on last night? :rofl:

Y E P. pretty much locked up on me a few minutes ago.
