    this may have came up before, if so sorry.
    havent changed the channel on the tube for a while, not really paying attention to it. you know on the computer and all. looked up and there is a commercial/show for girls gone/hottest girl in America.

    guys, (girls too, ) if you were to watch these videos for whatever reason(not judging anyone for what they do and dont watch) and you see before your eyes in living color your daughter (neice cousin, or other family member would work but mostly daughter)on one of these dvds, what would you do? i dont have any kids of my own right now so i cant say for sure but i think i would wigg out big time.

    My wife has a DAR function this morning and took both kids! I have the house to myself for almost 5 hours! I was thinking make a batch of beer, take a (uninterupted) nap, watch an action move REALLY loud in the theater.

    The world is my oyster!

    What would all you old married folks do with 5 hours of alone time?

    Just earlier today one of my neighbors great danes got loose and came on my property. Not only that, their dog started chewing on my dog, and the neighbors did nothing to stop them. By the time I got to my SBH .44 it had ran away. Would I have been justified in shooting it? I would like to hear from some LEs on this subject. I live outside a small city, 8,000 or so. Don't know if this would make a difference.

    My mom, step dad and two of my cousins, Shannon and Traci, and I went for a crotch rocket ride in the Smokies mountains. We were followed by my boyfriend and the rest of my family in a Surburban.
    I was riding one my mom lend to me. I'm a decent, not great, but decent rider, but since I was on a strange road and on a bike I didn't know I was very careful. My mom, step dad and cousins on the other had were trying to out do one another. They were getting very crazy. My boyfriend sees this and decides I can't get a bike cause he thinks I'll get hurt. Since I'm being careful on my bike, he thinks I'm not a skilled rider. It didn't help when my mom tells him she averages one to two wrecks a year. Then Shannon jumps in with her crash stories.
    Truth is I would never ride like my mom or cousins. They are just plain crazy. I do hate the way my mom rides and I do get afraid she's going to get hurt, but it's in her blood. She gets a new bike every two years or so. When she trades them in it's nothing for her to have 70K plus miles on one.
    So what would you do? Would you go against him and get a bike anyway? I'm thinking I will, but could this be a bad idea. If I get one I'm getting a 1300, not a wussie 600 I was riding that day. I'm thinking if I get one I'm going to keep it at my dad's and hide it from him.

    I have type 4 cancer. They removed 90% of my tongue and replaced it with part of my thigh so now my tongue is huge. They also removed cancer from my lyphnodes in my neck. I am doing ok now. I can not eat or drink and i am on a feeding tube. I am scheduled for surgery in April to reduce my tongue size because it is huge.
    The doctors told me that i can eat or drink now but i just can not swallow. I cant get anything past my tongue and i am scared of choking. My wife is giving me a hard time because she wants me back to my old self. I am tired of milk through my feeding tube. I just can not get motivated to eat or drink. I have to start soon just not sure how. Any ideas? David

    1st of all, the areospace job didn't happen. It may have been one of the best interviews of my life, but my lack of recent CMM (coordinated measuring machine)experience kept it from happening.

    So I let a friend who is a manager at WalMart pull a favor and get me a seasonal job in one of the stores near me (not his store). It's a job and all work is noble. but, the pay stinks. From what they are telling me though, there could be some future advancment there for me. And they could be blowing smoke up my butt too. I went through orientation thursday start my regular work there on monday morning.
    advantages: 7 miles from home mostly country roads, 15 minute commute.

    Yesterday I was out for the day. One of my former employers competitors left 2 messages on my machine. The guy even left his home phone number for me to call him. Now I left my former employer in part due health concerns over cleaning chemicals (trichlorethelene) they were using. They possibly were a factor in my sudden develpment of moderatly severe asthma. Since leaving my old shop I've been in several other shops with no breathing problems. I've only been in one that gave me trouble while I was there. If I return to my old shop to visit, my breathing becomes difficult within 15 minutes and lasts for a day even though I've left the place. I've also managed to get off 2 of the 3 medications I was taking while working in the shop.
    advantage: $12.00-$15.00 an hour to start + a decent benefit package, A fixed schedule for work hours.
    disadvantages: 30 mile heavy traffic commute lasting 40-60 minutes each way. Possible return of health problems. The guy leaving his home number makes me suspicious that he's desparate, and I wonder why, especially in this economy, decent inspectors are a dime a dozen.

    I'm feeling the temptation to take the lazy mans route and go back to being a QC inspector. Unfortunately that could possibly jeapordize the friendship of the guy that called a favor to get me the job. I've managed to keep myself going for 4 months. I've been tardy with a couple bills, but haven't missed any. I'd keep doing that if I stay with Wally world. The commute to and from the machine shop would take away much of the time I have to pursue that endevor. There is also the health factor in the back of my mind. I could go back into the machine shop and have insurance, but the job itself would be the cause of most of the need for insurance. I can get some illness insurance from walmart for $15.00 evey 2 weeks.

    My fiance' Bev's oppinion is I should stick with what I have and build up the online antique business and keep doing odd jobs. Using the summer of work at WalMart as an opportunity to pour money into the business. Getting it built up to where it could support us by itself.

    What would you do???

    I'd relist it and sell it to someone who is willing to go through the process of finding another FFL if necessary. I would leave neutral feedback, if that's an option-never used it before-and explain what happened. There's always more others willing to buy.

    I have only bought one gun online myself. When I asked my local dealer if he would receive it, he as well didnt beleive it was legeal. However he agreed to contact the ATF to ask, he was told in fact it was legal and the deal was made. If the buyer wanted the gun he would find someone else to complete the transaction.

    Hold the phone a sec here.

    The guy says that he is weary about buying guns from unlicensed folks on the Internet.

    Just what the *&^% does he think happens when he clicks "Confirm Bid" on the auction?

    I'd leave negative feedback. The guy is a moron on several levels.

    Transfer it to your local FFL to ship to the other FFL.
    Pain in the rear, I know.

    In your next auction, put in that in the options.

    And of course add the cost of your FFL taking it in and shipping to their FFL. in the description of the item.

    Dang worms are more trouble than they are worth dealing with.

    I have only found one FFL in my entire area that will take guns from non-FFLs, and he is 40 miles away. So it is not unusual. But it does sound like the buyer knew that his FFL wouldn't do it and he is using it as an excuse. I would relist and give the guy mediocre feedback with the reason why stated.

    I dont know any FFL holder here in Arkansas that will take a handgun from an individual. Long guns are no problem, but they want all handguns to come will an ffl copy.

    I can't do that in South Carolina. The reason is Jennings is on a banned list for FFL's in this state. It is legal for me to own it, but an FFL cannot touch it in this state. So I am stuck shipping direct to the buyer's FFL

    Follow the instructions on this link to recover your charged amount for the sale.

    At a minimum leave neutral feedback explaining this guy bids without having his ducks in a row.

    neg feedback, he should have checked 1st or go to another FFL now
    explain to him that you are still "buying from an unlisced person" even if a fll is used to ship

    I relisted and left negitive feedback. I had stated that this was my gun in the auction and the buyer knew I was a private person. And as he only had 3 other feedbacks my F dropped his grade way down.

    Either tell him how to find a Gunbroker listed FFL in his area, or better yet, look on the list yourself, call the FFLs and offer to send your Driver's liscense (a copy)showing that you stand behind the legality of your ownership of the gun. When you find one in his area (probably the first one you call, since they list on GB and are used to this) call the guy and tell him the news.

    He had allready left an A+ stateing that there was misscomunication between us.

    There was never any misscomunication as he had allready talked about the possibility of haveing to find another FFL and I told him he could look one up on GB.

    I just checked your auction. You really should add that the buyer needs an FFL dealer that will accept a transfer from an individual with a copy of your driver's license OR be willing to pay FFL transfer fees by your FFL dealer. Otherwise, you may have a problem again since it does not state that requirement in your auction. I always specify that it's a "private sale" in my auctions.

    I been through that before with an FFL that refused to xfer without getting my social security number. (feh!) it's on him to try another FFL but he won't. negative feedback. if he tried other FFL's with the same response it would be a different story. so sad, too bad.

    You can also file a nonpaying bidder alert. He deserves it.
    I couldn't find were to do that. I did e-mail customerservice about it to have the charges for the auction lifted from my accout and included a copy of his e-mail backing out of the auction.

    Did you try what I said in my first post? I'm a seller on GB.

    If you want to file a non-paying bidder alert, go to the GB home page and click on"For Sellers", and scroll down to the instructions for that....
