What would you do?
We all believe our faith will get us to heaven but The Bible says that many will be cast down even having performed miracles and casting out demons in the name of Jesus so maybe you missed the point and your faith wasn't enough. So...suppose the rapture comes and you are still here...you know the bible and this is your wake up call. you refuse to accept the mark of the beast because you know it will damn your soul to hell. according to the Antichrist now in control you cannot buy or sell with out the mark. people are hunting you... police have your name on a list.... I could write a book about this call it "Still here"

You are having your morning coffee and reading the newspaper.
The newspaper headline is.
Congress passes anti handgun law. All handguns except those in the military, and law enforcement are now illegal. Mandatory surrender of said guns is now the law. Violations of this law will be dealt with by 10 year prison sentence.

Well, last Thursday, I was informed, through an MRI, that I have yet another herniated disc in my back. (L4-L5)This is my third time having this happen and have had to have surgery the previous two times. The last one left me with permanent damage to my sciatic nerve which causes constant tingling and numbness in my left leg. While it hasn't prevented me from doing my job, the pain is gradually getting worse and is starting to affect my right leg. Now, I have three choices, do nothing and HOPE it doesn't cause further damage and treat with pain meds, have an epidural steroid injection and HOPE it relieves the pain, or have a third surgery, which would require the fusion of three vertebrae and end my career. I am only 35, don't want to give up my job and sure as hell do not want to go on disability. Whatever choice I make, there is a good chance it will leave me with limited mobility and further nerve damage. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. 0 -

Lets say I had a roommate. Then lets say he got him an enormous girlfriend that eats up all our food, drinks our beer, and loafs around the apartment making a mess when I'm at work. Would you mention it to him or just tell this manatee how it is. 0 -
My dad is 73 and in good health but every time i see him he is trying to give me some of his guns. About half of them are mine from when i was a kid. I got 3 a year from 6 untill i was 18. I left my guns and other things at his house when i went in the Air Force. I dont feel comfortable taking things from him even though some of the things are mine. He says take them that i will get them when he dies anyway. I already have all of the guns i need. What would you do? Thanks David 0 -
Guy wins an auction of mine and then changes his mind after he talks to a buddy. Wants to change to a different item if I have it. I checked and I honestly did not. He then sends another e-mail, asking to change his item won in for another one I have for sale. I make him an offer on that "swap". No-go for him, now he wants me to, his words, "cancel my auction because GB has cancelled his acct. anyway."!![:0][:0]
Yeah its a NR bidder.
So, now, what would you do?0 -
I have a nephew by marriage. He is 24 and not very bright. All his life his mom has been an enabler. Any time he gets into trould she bails him out. He was kicked out of the Army, lost a great job with Coca Cola, knocked up a chick and other dumb moves in the last few years.
He moves in as a roommate of a girl he barely knows on Sat. Wednesday night her ex boyfriend breaks in and starts to beat her--and tells him to stay out of it or he will kill him. What does my nephew do? Nothing!! The punk then steals the girls car. My nephew couldn't get ahold of mommy at 2:30am so he calls my wife saying theres an emergency and can he come over. She says ok. When he gets here I learn more and ask why didn't he protect the girl and her kid..at the least he could have called the cops. He just shruggs and says he will have to move. I go to bed and tell the wife if he is here when I get home from work tomorrow we are going to have an issue.
She calls her sister(his mom) to let her know what happened. She also told her we would not let him stay here as we dont want his drama. He didnt even know if the punk had followed him to my house[:(!] So now my sister in law is pissed at me because I won't let him stay. So sad too damn bad I say. Im not going to enable his poor choices. The cops did catch the guy and his bail was set at $100K for 4 felony charges.
Thank goodness the rest of my nephews are decent, upstanding adults and not wannabe thugs0 -
My closest nieghbor has a grown boy. About 24 yrs old.
Called me at my shop said he needed to see me about something.
When he showed up he had his deer rifle with him.
He said he has done something stupid and needed 100.00 bucks.
Take the rifle and dont tell dad PLEASE!! He said.
Now...the boy ain't into drugs or booze...I know him and the family very well. I gave him 125.00 for the rifle. I know he has been looking for a job hard and doing side work for everybody in town.
Reckon I should have a talk with his Pa? He has had that rifle for as long as I have known him. Just can't figure what the young man has gotten himself into. When I asked him, how stupid a thing, he just looked at his feet and said REAL stupid. Real good folk..church going.

You are about to take a short test. It consists of only one question which is very, very important. Don't answer too quickly or without thinking. Answer truthfully and you will test your moral fiber.
It is an imaginary situation, in which you have to make a decision. Remember, you have to give a spontaneous answer, but it must be truthful.
(Scroll down slowly to ensure the test is accurate...)
You are in Florida.....
....in Miami, to be exact.
You are in the midst of the chaos of tremendous flooding after a hurricane.....
.....unbelievable amounts of water everywhere.
You are a photographer for CNN.......
....and here you are, in the middle of an historic disaster.
The situation seems almost without hope.
You're trying to shoot some great pictures that capture the scene...
....while all around you the flood swirls, houses float away, people disappear
The power of nature is unleashed mercilessly with its all its fury . .
.
...and takes everything with it.
Suddenly, you see a woman in an SUV....
She's struggling valiantly not to be swept away by the mass of debris in the flood.
You wade closer, against an angry current.
She seems somehow familiar.
Then you see her--it is Hillary Roddam Clinton!
Sudden, you notice that the rising flood is about to sweep her away, forever.
You have to make a choice: Save her, or snap the picture of your career!!!
Save her, or take the photo that will win you the Pulitzer prize.
One photo, which records the horrible accidental death of one of the most important women in the world....
Now, the question (answer truthfully!):

Glossy or matte finish?

I had to got to work this morning to do some paper work. I get home around 11:30 and my dog is trying to tell me something. he is not barking, but he keeps running back and forth to the bedroom. I am thinking to my self you must want out on the back porch real bad.
So I go back there and open up the blinds to the sliding glass door.
OH $#!+ what the? The neighbor kid (16-17) is passed out on my back porch,
and puke ever where.
After I got him awake, & this kid is drunk real bad (he only missed his house buy about 30 feet) I got him a little cleaned up and walked staggerd him home. His mom was not there at the time.
I wish not to let it go, he was smart enough not to drive his car.
But I think the parents should know about it. I have not said anything yet. I think if it was my kid I would like to know pronto!

First off before anybody gets the wrong impression WE PASSED THIS UP!
Here in PA we had an early deer season overlap with small game. me and the boy hung up the big guns and decided to go chase squirrel for the rest of the afternoon, deer just wasnt moving. While we are sneaking around the woods teaching the boy the art of stalking squirrels (this is really fun[:D]) we jumped a big fat doe at close to 30 yards, she got up and just stood there looking at us. Now here we stand with doe tags, early doe season is on but we have .22s, not legal for shooting deer. Now I have done this 100 times on the farms out to 100 yards, further with a .22 mag and I feel as confident shooting a deer in the head with a .22 as Aglore shooting one with a .338[:D]. The boy wispered to me about what to do, I stood there with my brain going 100MPH, gun slowly coming up but changed my mind, made a snorting sound and scared her off.
I coulda shot her, I coulda let the boy shoot her but didn't. I wanted his first deer to be done right and i didnt want him to see me breaking the law although he knows all about the culling I have done on farms and has been there for a couple trips but this is different. This is a true hunting trip, not a "shoot all you can" with a spotlight and a .22.
The boy was a little disapointed in seeing her walk away, I was a little upset since we have been hunting all day for a deer and just when we give up this happens. I explained to him that it just wouldnt be right and besides, he wants to shoot one with that dang 30-30.
Should we have nailed her or was I right in letting it walk off?0 -
I know what I will do, but I am curious as to what everyone else would do.
Supposed you found a 9 year old home that you liked and made an offer that was accepted. Then suppose another house came on the market that was 10% cheaper, BRAND new (a previous deal fell through), same builder as the one you are buying too and in a neighborhood that you liked better for a VERY comparable house.
Ok now suppose there is a contract technically that you could use to legally get out of the original contract with no (financial) liability.

Ive been married for a little over 7 years now. My wife and I have a three year old together. We cant even be in a room together anymore without fighting. She has made the comment on several occasions that She doesnt care what I want or think. She has also told me to get the F out of her life several times. She is going to live life her way. She even said she knows what she is doing is wrong but she doesnt care. I know she is going through something. She is 31 years old and talks on the phone for hours like she was a teenager. She avoids any responsibility like it was the plague. If she ever has to pick me up from somwhere she averages an hour late. She just says stuff like "oh well, too bad". Her lack of respect thought and responsibility is becoming too much of a burden for me. If it wasnt for my son I would have been long gone. Ive changed/ matured over the last seven years and she just hasnt. She lives in her own little blissfull world that is all about her. Between going to school and taking care of a houshold and her its enough to really make someone crazy. I know some of you had to be in similar situations and Im just wondering what you did and why. Im at the end of my rope on this one. I just dont want to do the wrong thing. Thanks for allowing the vent.

So, as a new pistol owner (well later today i will be) i was thinking about what i am getting myself into lol, and ran a scenario through my head.
Bear with me here, i am new to this..
Let's say i am in an unfamiliar area, and (god forbid)am assaulted, and am forced to use deadly force. Then let's say a crowd hears the shot(s), and comes outside to see what's going on. I would not feel comfortable hanging around. What if they guy's brother comes out? What about friends, family. No matter if i was justified or not, they are not gonna be happy with me, that's for sure.
Could i flee the area, call the cops, and give them my cell number, with instructions to call me when they arrive? Then i could come back.
What would you do? I'd be especially interested in hearing from a police officer on if they think this would be a wise way to handle the situation.
Thanks for any thoughts.0 -
I was talking to one of the branch managers of the company I work for
the other day, (we work in different states) we frequently chat about
our firearms, he asked me if santa brought me the OU I was talking about
I told him no, I would have to go shopping for one, but now I am leaning
toward a semi auto (a cheap one) Well out of the clear blue he
offers to give me his New Remington 11-87! I told him I would buy it, he
said no he would rather give it to someone who would use it! (and I
will!) I am still kind of in shock [:D]! The gun is on its way to me now
and I have been thinking of sending him a thank you gift of some kind
anybody have any suggestions?[?]
TIA

Posted on another forum (motorcycle).
I just cut and pasted.
Say somebody wearing a full face helmet comes up to you after you have just put the keys in the ignition, pulls out a handgun and asks you to dismount and back away and after you have done so, starts the bike and rides away.
If you are also carrying a handgun, can you legally shoot the thief in the back and kill him, without being prosecuted by the police.
I know every state has different laws, so this is directed to people who live in one where it is permitted to carry a handgun on ones person.0 -

My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister.
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight
miniskirts, and generally was braless. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a pleasant view. She never did it when she was near anyone else.
One day "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.
She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me."
I was stunned- frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. She pulled off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to The front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all
clapping!
With tears in his eyes, my future father-in-law hugged me and said, "We Are very happy that you have passed our little test.....we couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."
And the moral of this story is:
Always keep your condoms in your car.0 -
Halve of this is my fault---the other half is the seller's fault.
Shopping for a particular pair of Skecher sandals and bought a new pair at low bid (only bidder) for $35.00 with free shipping.
Now, sandals arrive---not the same as the ones pictured in the ad---open toe was pictured---closed toe was received which I don't care for. (preposition, I know)
Seller's description (which I'll admit I didn't totally read) stated "closed toe".
I bought them primarily by the picture because it was exactly the style I wanted.
What would be an amicable ending to this?0 -
CNN Reports Scientists confirm 100% probability of impact.
POSTED: 4:54 p.m. EST, January 21, 2007
(CNN) -- Scientists have confirmed that Asteroid NGS-2007a found hurtling towards Earth has a 100% probability of striking the Asian continent in 43 days. Early reports indicated a near miss but new data shows that it will be a positive impact.
The United Nations scientific counsel has produced its report showing that the asteroid, 3 miles wide, will land in the central area of Russia. The data reports that all life within 1000 miles will be instantly consumed in the initial blast. The following shockwave and rampant fires will destroy all life on the continents of Asia and Europe as well as the upper third of Africa.
The ensuing ash, soot, and smoke from the eastern hemisphere will block the sun around the globe for months, if not years. The areas not instantly affected by the impact will face harsh conditions almost immediately. Acid rain will fall around the globe, killing all fish and foilage within a few months. The survivability of mankind is unknown but the outlook is bleak at best.
At this point, the religious leaders of the world have asked that all mankind pray for our existence in the dark days ahead. World government leaders are pleading with their citizens not to turn to chaos and bloodshed in this trying time.
NOW...you just read this. What would you do? I know that there will be smarty answers and jokes but seriously what would you do? For some reason I've thought about this the past few days...of course I wouldnt go back to work...no one would...it would probably be dangerous to go to cities, probably rampant crime and murders as people use this as an excuse to go crazy. Would you go somewhere you've always wanted to? The beach? Grand Canyon? Dig a shelter (for whatever good that would do)?
I'm interested in your answers!

When i was working i was the lead maintenance person for my department. The Project manager would tell everyone i was the hardest working person he has ever seen. I would work 40 or 50 hours at a time on several occasions to make sure the job got done.
Well another company offered me the job to be project manager and my boss told me that if i stayed i would get his job when he moved up. When he moved up someone else got the job instead of me. I asked why i did not get the job and he told me that if i got the job who would get the work done. I cussed him out because he went back on his word. He told me i make more money than anyone in the company. Why take a pay cut to be a manager? I told him i have worked harder than anyone in the company. I am out on berevment and you call me to work. I never told you i could not come in and fix something. I told him it was like a slap in the face. Along with lots of cuss words.
Now i cant work and he has been trying to come see me and i keep telling him i dont feel like company. He always asks my friends how i am doing. Would you let him visit. I guess i am getting soft.0 -
Got a credit card bill in the mail today for a set of wheels. Looked it over real close, not my car, VIN, tag number not my truck. Tag and VIN goes to a vehicle of someone I know.
What to do?
Go to his house and get my wheels?
Go to the magistrate and sic the cops on his sorry behind?
Deny the charge on the card and let the credit card folks go after him?
Not sure how he got my CC number and don't believe this is an honest mistake.
He can pretty much take me off his list of folks to call for bail money.0 -
So, tonight, my wife and I were checking out at the grocery store. There was a lady in front of us checking out. I was standing directly behind her.
She tried to pay for her groceries using 2 different credit/debit cards. Neither one was accepted. They tried multiple times.
She finally told the cashier to try to put $70 on one of the cards, and that amount was accepted. That left her $14 and some odd cents to pay, and neither one of her cards would be accepted. When she checked her check book, she was fresh out of checks.
What would you do?
I stepped up, and said, "Ma'am, let me do something for you..." and I swiped my card and paid for her $14 worth of groceries.
I told her to pay it forward. I left with a smile on my face. It felt good to help.0 -
OK Two nights ago wife sick and needed to go to the hospital. I called my mother to come sit with kids while we where off to the emergency room. About Midnight we get out and are on our way home. We stop by the 24 hr, Mc Donalds for a burger and head on. Within minutes of turning off the main road on our way to our rural farm a car comes flying right up beside me and stays right even with me door to door while Ilook in the rear view and there is another on my tail. I try to speed up and they match me the whole time easing toward me. I slow down they do the same so I floor it and get the jump on them and get in front of them. Then the scary part is they try this same thing only this time with my wife between us. Eventually when an on coming car comes they both turn off. Now I was not carrying at the time but I promised my self and my wife this would be the last. When she who is not crazy about the idea asked what I would have done differently I told her I would have stopped the car. And in the event they had stopped anyone who had gotten out of there car would have been fired upon immediately. I did not like the feeling of being hunted or prayed upon and I will be honest this scared the hell out of me. I realize there is a chance this was a car full of kids playing a prank but The thought of someone hurting my wife and never getting home to my kids is more than I am willing to bear. But I am curious if most of you where in this position what would you have done. PS I did call 911 but they never did show and there was now hwere I was willing to wait being unarmed. 0 -

the lost full auto thread got me thinking. you hear stories every now and then about someone redoing a house and finding something in the walls, or attic, or they go to tear down a fence and find something cached by one of the posts.
if you were the lucky one to find say a cache of weapons, or a single weapon, would you try to turn it in, knowing in the back of your mind that it could have come from anywhere? keep in mind your find could be the key to an unsolved murder or anything. do you find the authorities or does your collection grow and your mouth stay shut?
my theory is finders keepers. i think if i was on that road crew, we would have some serious talkin about how we were going to split up our find.
maybe thats why it got turned in, they couldnt agree to who gets what.0
