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"

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!

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.0 -
Problem solved. I have a new bank. 0 -
Last month I won an auction for a used H&K USP Compact in 9mm. Shortly after receiving the firearm I was displeased to discover the entire firing pin assembly was missing. There was no mention of this in the item description.
I immediately contacted the seller through email about the problem. I asked the seller if he was aware of this problem. The seller responded shortly with "??????". I have since attempted to contact the seller again but every email I have sent has been ignored.
I can't understand why I am being ignored. This seller has exceptional feedback. Before I left my negative feedback there was only one other negative feedback for this seller. The negative feedback the seller had already, seemed to be a misunderstanding where the buyer received the wrong firearm. The seller responded to this feedback explaining that he had since resolved the problem by sending the buyer the correct firearm.
I have tried the "resolving problems with a seller" page, and it sent me on a wild goose chase without any results.
Is there anything that can be done or am i stuck with a non working firearm?
Thank you for your time. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.0 -

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.

Job/Career related
My status: I am 32 and the sole Process Controls Engineer at a large and very complex Corn Wet-Milling Plant. We produce 240+ different Starches (industrial and food), molecular and physical modification processes. Our facility is the pride of the North American plants. We grind, dry and pack out 4.5 Million pounds of starch a day. Treat 2.5MM gallons of water, generate power (650# Steam Turbine), 220,000 lbs/hr of steam, 5 - Medium Voltage (4160V) Air Compressors, 8 drying operations, a refinery, etc. Everything from 1200HP Medium Voltage to robotics to tiny animation. Think of me as the Med-Low Voltage Electrical/Software/Automation Engineer for the plant. Both Projects and sustaining. Without sounding too much like a douche, my future is pretty bright in my role and with my company.
Now Back Story:
In October of last year we had a global meeting. All of my peers from the other plants got together for a week to meet with vendors, discuss standards, issues, network, etc.
One of the folks is the E&I project Manager for an expansion project in Nantong, China. Our company bought a small facility there in 2014 and we are expanding (equivalent to $30 million). He asked for help on the startup of the plant in the spring. It was to last 3 weeks March into April.
I volunteered and they asked me to visit for 2 weeks this winter to help set up and confirm proper programming, installation, train them on VFDs, etc. I spent 2 weeks there in mid-December. My role has quickly escalated from "support" to Full Controls Engineer for the project. They've handed me all things Automation and I return Friday for 15 more days. I have been assuming that my last trip (late March) will be my last, and will be for 3 weeks.
Last week my SVP visited and we were discussing the project. Me told me that on-top of the trips I've been planning, the start up will be 3 months.
Tori is not really happy with it and I don't want to live in that miserable place for 3 months. Brenly (my 6YO DD) rolls with the punches, it takes a lot to upset her and she's pretty much OK with anything. BUT, I've never been away for 3 months. At the same time, I can't turn my back to it and hand someone else all the work I've been doing (especially since they have no one else).
I would appreciate some thoughts and insight. I don't want to stall my career and this project is a big deal, both to the company and to my resume. It could also open up projects that need my help in Sweden and the Netherlands. I also have to keep in mind, that it may never stop and I could be travelling 6 months of the year for the foreseeable future.0 -
Last February we noticed that the neighbor's adult son had moved back in with them. The dad said the son was "between jobs." We just found out that the guy had been busted in Houston for soliciting a minor for sex. The problem is that the victim is the same age as my oldest son. I realize that the odds of this guy re-offending so soon after being busted are slim, but I can't help but feel a little uneasy about it. 0 -
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 friend Jody works at a nursing home. Sometimes I go and hang out with her there.
There's a resident there that always ask me for a smoke. He's not allowed to have them and I don't smoke so he's been out of luck.
I recently found out he has very little visitors, but's he's the sweetest old man I think I've met, next to my granpa.
Well I've started buying and sneaking him cigarettes when I visit. These nursing home residents are just standing around waiting to die anyway, so why not make his last few days a good one?
Am I wrong here? Honestly.0 -

During deer season I observed a couple of guys gutting a deer. They were about fifty yards from my post so I waited until they were finished and had dragged the deer to wherever.
Curious that I am I walked past the gutpile about 45 minutes later. I found a new Old Town folding knife the guys had forgotten.
Hence the dilema.
What would you have done under the circumstances?
Thanks

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. 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 -
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 -
Ok I'm in this pawn shop looking at guitars, like I need another one, when I notice the pawn shop guy fiddling with a single action .22 revolver. He's trying to get the cylinder out of it but it won't budge. I asked if I could take a look and he says, "sure", and hands it to me. I look at it and the firing pin is protruding so far that the cylinder is hanging on it. The pawn shop guy says he's not interested as the revolver is obviously broken. I asked the lady does she want to sell it. She says yes but the pawn shop guy says take it outside, she can't sell it in here. I wait around because she has two cheap survival knives that pawn shop guy is looking at but he's not interested. Anyway, the lady and her mom meet me in the parking lot. She wants $100 for the revolver. I tell her under the circumstances I'd give her $40 for it and take my chances. She wants $50 and says she'll throw in one of the knives. Nope, $40 take it or leave it. She takes the $40 and once I get home I get it all apart and the spring is missing off the part that rotates the cylinder. The hand I think it's called. One of those deals where you point it at the floor and it rotates the cylinder and locks up fine. So I get on the net and find the piece I need, $25 and some change including shipping. Still only in the gun about $65 or so but I think I did okay. Oh and no it wasn't a Colt, just an FIE but still a solid little revolver. So would you buy a gun with obvious problems if you got a deal on it? Oh and it came with a leather holster that looks like it fits a 1911 type handgun. I'm thinking the holster may be worth $40 by itself. Just wondering. 0 -
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!

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 -
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."

You are going to a family reunion at a large campground. You plan on doing some target shooting. You get to the gate and they tell you not only is shooting not allowed, but that guns are not allowed in campground and must be put in the gun safe in the main gate station. Would you tell them about all 7 guns in the truck? (You haven't mentioned shooting so they don't know that you have them.) Would you tell them that you do not have any guns? Would you tell them that you have 6 and keep one for protection?
What would you do?
I should mention that this is a private campground, not federal or public land.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.
What would you do?0 -
Kind of in a bind here. I placed a bid on a 380 Cobray. No reserve auction, starting bid of .01. Even though I bid more than that, as first bidder, that was the initial price. I never gave it another look. Figured I had bid all I wanted, and would be notified if I won. Well, low and behold, I won. For the .01 cent bid! Go figure. Almost immediately I get an e-mail from the seller saying he made a mistake...yadda yadda yadda...meant to list with reserve...yadda, yadda yadda...and would sell me the gun for $500, well above my bid. Whadda ya think?

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?[?]

Went to pickup some venison summer sausage today at the local smokehouse.
I walked in told the gal my name and after a minute she said sir the total will be $103.01. I gave her 2 $50 bills and a $5 bill, $105 total. She put all 3 bills under the register drawer. I didn't pay much attention cause I was starving and that place always smells great!!
Anyway I noticed she was counting out quite a bit of $$$ for my change. I immediately thought she must have thought I gave her 3 $50 bills. So I told her mam I think your giving me too much change. So she looked under the drawer and saw that I gave her 2 $50s and 1 $5.
She looked embarassed then recalculated my change at $1.99, so I gave her a penny and she gave me $2.
Went home with a smile on my face cause my summer sausage was done 5 days before they said it would be when I dropped it off last thursday.[:p]0 -
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
