enfield

Personally, I wouldn't hang around with anyone wearing one of those badges. Bad things are going to happen and I wouldn't want to be in the way.

I've lost a tire & wheel while driving - '68 Chevy van lost the left front wheel (the one I was sitting over). Fortunately I wasn't going more than about 20 MPH.

Mine is just hot enough to leave an afterglow. I add 2 tsp Cayenne pepper to 4 lbs meat.

I generally prefer to make mine with diced stew meat or a 50/50 mix stew meat/ground round. The batch I have simmering now is 100% ground round, as I have 1/2 a freezer full of ground round. It's thick and hot.

Well, this isn't the government's forum, so no amendments apply. It's TGODavid's forum. He pays the bills and he gets to make the rules.

Windows has had quite a few versions that "sucked", hasn't it? Wonder if Bill gave any of the customers their money back?

One of the curious things about Windows is that XP doesn't have drivers for my ancient, Win95-era, HP scanner. Neither does HP. But the scanner works fine on Linux! Linux supports older hardware, and it's noticeably faster than Windows in many categories. It doesn't require the latest and greatest hardware for good performance. And, I'm running 4 different desktops simultaneously. I can run a browser in one, a CD player in another, a word-processing document in another and a system monitor & console in the 4th desktop. I don't have to minimize applications to run another - just switch desktops. Try that with Windows. However, back to the discussion, you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good, functional computer. If you want to play video games, it's another story. You don't have to follow the consensus - it's your choice.

I just bought a lease turn-in Compac from TigerDirect for $160. 12 month P&L warranty, XP pro, keyboard & mouse, no monitor. You might want to check them out. I expect mine in a couple of days. Plan to put a 2nd HD in it and dual-boot XP and Linux, just like I do on this box.

When a post violates the TOS, especially if it's abusive, it's not unusual for it to be deleted. It's akin to washing graffiti off the walls.

They've forgotten Pacman Jones?

Republican or Democrat doesn't matter to me, Conservative or Liberal does.

Well, he has to do SOMETHING. It's either Simm's job or his.

I'm a trained spotter for the NWS, and I have one thing to say: That there's a tornado! Glad I didn't see at as I don't carry spare underwear.

Haslam wants our votes now but, once elected, he won't need us any more. It's all lies, but it's fun to watch him squirm like a worm on a hot griddle.

They're just words - he didn't mean it. He's a politician, for crying out loud.

I voted for Duck, and for myself for Congress and the TN Senate and House.

Here's my list:

I'll watch it until watching becomes painful. Go VOLS!

The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson is a good resource too. It's available on Amazon.

My first vote was for Nixon in '72. I've never voted for a Democrat but I'm not a Republican. I'd vote for a conservative Democrat but I've never had the chance. I did vote for a Nazi once in a primary - he was running against the Democrat incumbent.

Oh Lord! Yet another 1911 . . . .

I won't vote for him. I'm tired of holding my nose and pulling the lever. I won't vote for McWherter either, though he's apparently more honest than Haslam (he admits to being a Democrat). I'm voting for Sam Duck for Governor and doing write-ins for US House and Tennessee Senate and House - I'll probably vote for myself. I'm sick and tired of professional "politicians".

Depending on where in the mountains you're headed, there are alternate routes that don't go through high-traffic areas. I didn't see another car on the Unicoi Turnpike.

I've had Dish for about 15 years now and have no serious gripes.

so who to vote for for Gov? I'm sick and tired of picking a Liberal from Party A vs a Liberal from Party B. I see 14 "Independents" on the ballot. Who has researched any of them?
