So, we went-n-bought a late model charger yesterday :0)

I had an 07 which I leased for my wife. It was a great car and I loved it. I wish I'd bought it when the lease was up, but didn't do it. -
I don't have any left after making my hat. :shrug:

It would be if a white man said it, and we all know it's true.

I bought a new Lenovo laptop about 2 months ago and just got my Windows 10 upgrade notice today after reserving it about 3 weeks ago. Upgraded and so far I've not had any issues. The new Edge browser is plenty fast for me and the more I learn the more I like it.

I was in the six item express lane at the store quietly fuming. Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward looked into the cart and asked sweetly, "So which six items would you like to buy?" (Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?) ------------------------------------------------------------ Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table. "Young man, we're both 90 years old," the husband said. "We may not have 45 minutes." They were seated immediately. ------------------------------------------------------ The reason politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would "hate" to have to make a living under the laws they have just passed. ------------------------------------------------------ All eyes were on the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle. They reached the altar and the waiting groom. The bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand. The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly. As her father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card. ------------------------------------------------------ Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. ------------------------------------------------------ Three friends from the local congregation were asked, "When you're in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?" Artie said, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man." Eugene commented, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in people's lives.." Al said, "I'd like them to say, 'Look, he's moving!'" ------------------------------------------------------------ Smith climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God. Looking up, he asks the Lord. "God, what does a million years mean to you?" The Lord replies, "A minute." Smith asks, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?" The Lord replies, "A penny." Smith asks, "Can I have a penny?" The Lord replies, "In a minute." ------------------------------------------------- John was on his deathbed and gasped pitifully, "Give me one last request, dear," he said. "Of course, John," his wife said softly. "Six months after I die," John said, "I want you to marry Bob." "But I thought you hated Bob," she said. With his last breath John said, "I do!" -------------------------------------- A man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it." The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?" The man replied, "My wife is going to poison me." The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?" The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's going to poison me. What should I do?" The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know." A week later the Rabbi calls the man. He says, "I spoke to your wife on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?" The man said, "Yes" and the Rabbi replied, "Take the poison." -------------------------------------- I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.

I have one of these http://www.blackhawk.com/Products/Holsters-Duty-Gear/Holsters/Concealment/Leather/Leather-Inside-the-Pants-Holster.aspx and really like it a lot. I carry a Glock 27. It hides it well and is very comfortable.

I have 2. I bought them after seeing Survivor man use one in a swamp somewhere, and in another episode he used one on an island with with no fresh water other than rainwater lying in low areas. He stayed the full 7 days without getting sick in both episodes.

Thousands showed up.....thousands of flags were flying.....the street was lined on both sides for miles.....over 800 Patriot Guard Riders. I'm sure everyone had a lump in their throat when the procession drove by. I know mine did. Rest in peace Sgt. David Allen Wyatt. Thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice representing our country. Edited to include a video. This is the area I was at. Northgate Mall. The Patriot Guard Riders were amazing. The crowd you see on both sides of the road continued for the entire 18 or so miles where practical. Another thing is how quiet and respectful it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i83pWp9RVgM

Gunman opens fire in Lafayette, LA Movie Theater
Randall53 replied to tennesseetiger's topic in General Chat
This is what gives me heartburn. When it comes to Sanctuary Cities and illegals that kill Americans here is what Democrats think: "Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA) who wants to protect all Sanctuary Cities from the Sanctuary Cities Act, which was just passed by the house, says that “The man who killed Kathryn Steinle should be punished to the full extent of the law, But don’t punish others for the crimes of the few.” Yet, when it comes to gun control, that's exactly what they want to do. -
I got a very informative email from them this morning hammering Haslam, and rightly so is seems, for sitting on his hands and doing nothing so far to increase security at military institutions. What kind of job does the TFA do? Is it worth supporting? I know I like what they say in this email. Here is the email I got: Tennessee's Governor, Bill Haslam, calls for "review" of how to respond to terrorist attack. TFA calls for passage of Constitutional Carry and elimination of gun free zones now. Chattanooga's terrorist attack on military related facilities was not a strategic military strike. It was not a vendetta against specific individuals. It was an act of premeditated suicidal carnage designed primarily to inflict terror on a civilian population in the name of a socio-economic-political regime that seeks to exterminate anything that is not submissive to it. In the last 4 days, there have been many calls and demands made for Bill Haslam, as the governor of the state of Tennessee, to take action to provide security for Tennessee's military facilities which, to a rational person should be unnecessary but for the Alice-In-Wonderland world of political correctness that disarms the armed forces of this country on their own bases and facilities. Governors of at least six other states have moved swiftly to act but Tennessee - still 4 days after the needless deaths - remains as it was minutes before life ended for these men of Tennessee. Why? One reason - our governor, Bill Haslam. Bill Haslam went on the Meet the Press on Sunday and declared he was going to "review" his options. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IccM5NwqvQ8 ) Review? Bill Haslam wants to "review" his options. How much of a review was there on Thursday when in the minutes following the terrorist attack the Governor's manison was placed on lock down? How much review was there when within minutes the Tennessee legislature and capitol were placed under increased security? Governors in other states have already acted decisively. Even individual citizens are taking action. Local law enforcement even moved into action. But the timid governor of the State of Tennessee seeks only to "review" his options? Former State Representative Joe Carr has been calling for real action - not delays and indecision. He points to the swift responses of other states to the terrorist act in Tennessee. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/18/time-for-the-states-to-lead-arm-soldiers-on-american-bases/ Under the Tennessee Constitution and relevant statutes, the governor is the commander-in-chief of all state military forces, including the state unorganized militia, the State Guard, and the Tennessee National Guard. He also commands the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Governor Haslam could, as commander-in-chief, have issued orders within minutes of the terrorist attack to provide armed responses from multiple resources to protect Tennesseans - whether civilian or in military service. Yet, in a span of almost 4 days now, his most aggressive response is to call for a "review" of what his options may be and to suggest that he must be submissive to whatever move Barack Obama may take, if any. The frustration of a feckless leader is bad enough. It embarrassing for the Volunteer State. Its a disgrace to those in public service who put their lives at risk. But, setting those considerations aside for the moment, let's assume that Tennessee's governor takes some actual responsive and protective action at some point by providing increased arms or security at these military facilities. Is that enough or does it create other problems if that is all he does? Remember, this was not a strategic military strike -- it was a terrorist act. The objective was terror through senseless multiple victim murder. The fact that it was directed at unarmed members of the armed forces on our soil is probably just "option a" in the Islamic terrorist manual. Are we to assume that any additional planned or potential terrorist attacks will just stop if and when Haslam acts to harden the military facilities and storefronts? No. It would be foolish to think that the Islamic terrorist manual only has "option a - attack the unarmed soldiers." Indeed, terrorists attacks all over the world already reveal that civilian targets are equally if not more at risk. Thus, it is more likely, as in other countries, that the terrorist playbook already provides that the terrorist operatives are to merely refocus on other, perhaps softer targets including civilian targets such as schools, hospitals, playgrounds, places of employment, places of entertainment, public and private office buildings, grocery stores, malls, movie theaters, legislatures, transportation hubs, churches and any place where there are concentrated gatherings. This is universally the strategy of attacking in gun free zones - the most carnage for the smallest investment in the number of suicide operatives. Arming the armed forces is a no brainer. It should have always been the rule and was until the era of political correctness. While this nation prohibits standing armies, we do not prohibit are armed forces from being able to effectively defend themselves from attack. But what also MUST occur in Tennessee and all other States is the complete removal of all infringements, as the 2nd Amendment provides, on the rights of the people to keep and bear arms. Tennessee's constitution in Article I, Section 26, even declares that the same rights recognized by the 2nd Amendment also include the right to "wear" arms. We must demand, as Tennesseans, the passage of Constitutional Carry in Tennessee and support the same in other states. We must demand that Gun Free Zones be eliminated in Tennessee and support the same in other states. We must hold elected officials accountable for immediately passing constitutional carry and eliminating all gun free zones. Indeed, many public facilities in Tennessee are gun free zones not because of a statute but because some public official in Haslam's administration or in local government just decided to post the property "gun free" - those signs can and should be removed across the state today! Hardening the military, without more, will do nothing more than refocus the terrorism toward softer targets, civilian targets - you, your family and your friends. I wonder if Bill Haslam and his appointee, Bill Gibbons, are "reviewing" constitutional carry and the elimination of gun free zones in Tennessee as they benefit from their own state provided armed security and armed public officer transports today? Perhaps you should call Bill Haslam's office: (615) 741-2001 or Bill Gibbons at his office (615) 251-5128 and ask them how the "review" is going and if you can offer a few suggestions. Oh, and don't forget - Bill Haslam promised 5 years ago to sign constitutional carry into law in Tennessee but, as of yet, he has not only failed to do so but he has effectively worked to kill any legislation to do so. ( www.tennesseefirearms.com/haslam ) While you have the Governor on the phone, ask him when he is going to honor his promise....

thanks. I didn't know that.

Gun bans coming to some social security recipients
Randall53 replied to Sam1's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
AND....of COURSE, our Senators and Congressmen do no participate in Social Security so they are exempt..!!!!!!!!! Just more crap being poured on the heads of the masses. -
In my thinking, this doesn't make sense. The bodies were flown to Virginia for autopsies..(why the autopsies is a mystery to me) Then I thought they were to be flown to their home towns for funerals. I must have missed something. If it is here, I will be there and will be part of the wall. I sold my bike a few months ago, but I'll still be there.

My wife and I watched the trailer of both tonight. I think the new one is going to be good also. A lot was left out of the original with Rick being in a coma then they jump to, more or less, the middle of the apocalypse. I'm interested in seeing the progression of the disease as long as they don't drag it out through more than 1 or 2 episodes.

That is a great brush gun. I had one for many years. Good shooters. You selling or just making us old guys that had one regretful? LOL

I traveled all over the USA while working construction some years back and pulled RV's all over. I never emptied the tanks on them. I never even heard anyone mention it in over 12 years of traveling. I'd just tie them down good and roll. Welcome home!!

Yeah I caught that too. A no weapons allowed would have worked better.
